258: Great Hongmeng Technique

At the summit of the Hongmeng Divine Tower, a place no one could reach.

Pure white clouds, like a white river, flowed silently.

It was extremely quiet here; there hadn't been any sound for billions of years.

Only colorful little tadpoles drifted in the Void Realm, swimming silently in the air, at ease.

Whoosh!

A soft sound echoed.

A figure suddenly appeared, with a divine sculpture seal resembling him floating above his head, and ripples spread out from beneath his feet.

As the ripples splashed, the neatly arranged white clouds beneath his feet suddenly transformed into fish scales, scattering in all directions.

"Is this the very top floor of the Hongmeng Divine Tower?"

Chu Feng's eyes were calm as he looked around, countless little tadpoles swimming everywhere, all exuding a rich aura of Dao.

It was Dao!

Not Law!

Without a doubt, this was a Supreme Cultivation Holy Land; if Giants were to step in, they would surely be overjoyed.

But for Chu Feng, who never Cultivated, there was no ripple in his heart; he withdrew his gaze and looked up at the sky.

A scorching fireball hung high.

On the other side, a faint, bright moon was as cold as a disc.

His eyes flashed; the simultaneous appearance of the sun and moon was not an anomaly, but rather the manifestation of two Supreme treasures.

A luminous orb covered in mysterious Dao patterns!

Gradually evolving into three fiery characters—Hongmeng Orb!

A short-handled round mirror, its surface shrouded in a faint yellow aura—hongmeng mirror!

Chu Feng's lips curved into a smile, revealing his neat white teeth; after a challenging journey, he had finally found the hongmeng mirror.

He had a strange premonition that, just like before at the Eternal Gate and the Wordless Immortal Stele, he would once again encounter that Female Rogue who only made 'ying-ying' sounds.

His eyes gleamed with resolute divine light; he raised his arm, reaching towards the bright moon in the sky.

This time, I'll make the first move!

Let that Female Rogue experience the might of this Heavenly Emperor.

As his palm reached for the silver disc in the sky, the two Supreme treasures also sensed him, suddenly trembling.

Rumble!

That great sun, ahead of the silver moon, streaked across the sky and actively plunged towards his direction!

The immense tremor startled the leisurely swimming tadpoles, causing them to flee in panic, like fading ink stains, suddenly vanishing into the Void Realm.

The closer the great sun got to Chu Feng, the smaller it became, shrinking until it was only a finger's width when it reached his eyes, slowly rotating, emitting a faint red glow that imprinted itself into his glabella.

A wonderful thought suddenly arose!

Within this Hongmeng Orb, an unparalleled Great Art was indeed recorded!

Great Hongmeng Art!

Chu Feng's pupils constricted; his other hand instinctively waved and flipped, countless afterimages swirling.

Dao transformed into hundreds of purple-black lines, condensing into a distinct chessboard in the Void Realm.

"This Art is somewhat interesting."

Chu Feng waved his hand, and the purple-black chessboard that had formed before him instantly collapsed.

With his terrifying foundation, he instantly comprehended this profound and complex Great Art entirely.

This was a Daoist Magic named Great Hongmeng Art.

Daoist Magic, outside his previous knowledge, was something he encountered for the first time.

Its rank was unknown, certainly not just at the Giant-level.

Its purpose was… to strip the divine seals of Heavenly Mandate Protagonists for one's own use.

At the same time, it required a certain price… nine netherworld life crystal.

The so-called nine netherworld life crystal was a life crystal extracted from villains after their demise.

Chu Feng narrowed his eyes, playing with a silver-glowing, icy divine mirror in his hand.

The mirror's surface, like an unchanging ancient lake, reflected his handsome and dashing face.

On this face was a mocking smile, full of ridicule.

You Heavenly Mandate Protagonists really play dirty, huh? What? Are you trying to stir up trouble?

He twirled the hongmeng mirror's handle with his fingers, his smile becoming even more derisive.

The thought containing the Great Hongmeng Art was vague about the divine seals of Heavenly Mandate Protagonists.

It only briefly mentioned that divine seals were formed when a protagonist's characteristics evolved to a certain degree.

What are protagonist characteristics?

Golden Finger!

The Hongmeng Divine Tower, the main base of the Heavenly Mandate Protagonists.

Yet, in its untrodden summit, it contained a Great Art capable of stripping the Golden Fingers of Heavenly Mandate Protagonists, which could be activated with enough nine netherworld life crystals.

Giving the Alliance Master such a big surprise.

What are you trying to do?

Raising Gu?

Playing a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist promotion match?

Although he didn't know the full picture, Chu Feng instantly pieced together many things.

He realized these protagonists' audacious moves were far more numerous than he had imagined.

He mused, "Counting it, I'm now at least the Alliance Master of the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, so I guess I'm somewhat of a protagonist's leader."

"This Great Hongmeng Art, it suits me somewhat."

Not somewhat.

It suited him perfectly.

The moment he comprehended it, he already discovered that the nine netherworld life crystal required by this Daoist Magic was completely unnecessary for him.

His demonic heart pulsed, and purple-black mist wafted from the planet formed by the Nine Nether Great Dao within his body.

The Great Hongmeng Art activated instantly, requiring no cost whatsoever.

A wisp of mist containing the Nine Netherworld coiled around his fingertip: "I'll find an opportunity to test the efficacy of this Great Hongmeng Art."

Recalling his glorious years as a villain, striking at the seven-inch vital point of a snake, his favorite thing was to snatch the Golden Fingers of those Heavenly Mandate Protagonists.

However, his original methods were crude, directly using force, which inevitably led to intense resistance, like the little gourd from before, which took quite some effort to fill.

But now, the Great Hongmeng Art was equivalent to directly giving the Golden Finger a dose of medicine, seizing it on the spot.

After a brief understanding, Chu Feng's gaze fell upon the mirror in his palm, whose surface reflected silver light.

That Female Rogue, after leaving last time, left clues about the hongmeng mirror.

Now that the hongmeng mirror was in his hand, he gazed at its surface, his eyes falling upon it.

"Eh?"

Chu Feng's eyes flashed with a sharp glint as he stared at the mirror's surface.

He found that the few wisps of Nine Netherworld mist he had unconsciously dispelled with his fingertip had caused a change in the hongmeng mirror's surface.

On the smooth mirror surface, his reflection disappeared.

In its place was a gurgling river, flowing swiftly.

The river water was light blue, and the splashing water created terrifying Dao, far richer than the planets in the Great Dao Star Map.

"This is… the aura of Time?"

Chu Feng gripped the mirror handle, leaning his head closer to the mirror's surface to examine it carefully, and his Supreme Will instantly descended upon the mirror's surface.

Whoosh!

...

The descent of his Will, as if breaking through dimensions, suddenly appeared within this river.

In the mirror world, an ocean of river water, the sensation became even clearer after his descent.

Chu Feng's heart stirred.

"The Time River, is this what the hongmeng mirror projected?"

Previously, the Sword Dao River had descended; although its aura was vastly different from the river before him, their essence was not the same.

The overwhelming aura of Time allowed him to instantly make a judgment.

Why did this hongmeng mirror suddenly project the Time River?

As the thought arose, Chu Feng's Supreme Will, within the boundless Time River, captured a lone boat navigating the turbulent river.

His Will exerted its power, instantly drawing closer to observe.

The Time River was not a real river, but rather a sight formed by countless interwoven Time Dao, presented before the observer.

It contained endless dangers; even the current Chu Feng dared not truly project his Supreme Will into this Time River.

Who was so courageous?

Who dared to sail in the Time River?

As his perspective zoomed in.

He saw that within the boat, spatial Dao was concealed, containing endless space.

On the deck outside the boat, several figures stood, performing various Supreme wondrous techniques to stabilize the treasure boat.

Each figure's aura had reached the realm of a Nine Stars Giant; their expressions were desolate, their eyes vacant, their fingers twitching unconsciously, releasing their own Dao power, looking dazed.

Chu Feng's lips curved into a faint smile: "Heavenly Mandate Protagonists?"

"These little ants, so they were hiding here."

He suddenly understood, instantly identifying the identities of these people.

As the Alliance Master of the Hongmeng Divine Alliance, the aura of the Hongmeng Divine Alliance on these people on the boat was clear and strong.

He didn't even need to think; he knew they were the group of protagonists from the Hongmeng Divine Alliance who had fled, and he hadn't expected this hongmeng mirror to actually perceive their existence.
