"Which direction is that? The Myriad Phenomena Region? What happened in the Myriad Phenomena Region?"
"Could it be that some peerless powerhouse has appeared there?"
"Such a terrifying celestial phenomenon — it must be some great figure powerful enough to shake the very structure of the Divine Abyss Continent."
The ancient monsters scattered across the Divine Abyss Continent gazed in the direction of the Myriad Phenomena Region, their eyes filled with speculation, confusion, and even astonishment.
This celestial wonder lasted for over two hours before gradually fading away. The onlookers were still hungry for more, each standing frozen like wooden chickens, staring blankly up at the sky, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.
Beneath the Canxia Treasure Tree, Jiang Chen sat cross-legged, motionless as a stone carving.
At this very moment, the celestial circulation forming within his body was perfectly synchronized with the Myriad Heavens Dharma Aspect, resonating with each other across a vast distance.
Jiang Chen never could have imagined that the moment he broke through to the Origin Realm would trigger such terrifying celestial phenomena.
In his memories from his previous life, only those martial artists at the absolute peak of the mundane planes who ascended to the Myriad Heavens Planes could produce such astonishing spectacles.
In that instant, within Jiang Chen's divine consciousness, a faint, almost imperceptible seal materialized within his sea of consciousness.
Surrounding this seal were nine points, like droplets of water encircling it, forming a chain-like seal.
At the center of that chain seal was wrapped a mysterious layer that Jiang Chen could not peer into.
But as his divine consciousness moved, he could feel the terrifying power within this seal — as though it was locking away an ancient demon lord or an ancient ferocious beast. Once unleashed, it would be enough to destroy the entire Divine Abyss Continent.
"Could it be that my reincarnation and rebirth wasn't accidental, but connected to my Heavenly Emperor father? Otherwise, what could be sealed within my consciousness?"
Jiang Chen absolutely refused to believe that in this life, even having cultivated the Heart of Rock, his divine consciousness would have spontaneously manifested such a terrifying sealed power without reason.
That force — the moment Jiang Chen tried to observe it even slightly, he felt as though countless steel needles were piercing into his very soul.
With his current level of divine consciousness, he couldn't even touch the surface layer, let alone unlock this mysterious power.
Jiang Chen suspected that this mysterious force must be connected to his father from his previous life.
The instant he had broken through to the Origin Realm, his divine consciousness had been operating at extreme speed, cycling the celestial circulation within his body, when it had accidentally brushed against that mysterious seal, triggering the celestial phenomena.
In that moment, Jiang Chen had truly been startled.
Fortunately, having seen much in his previous life, he had guessed that the celestial phenomena were related to his breakthrough, and immediately suppressed his divine consciousness, steering clear of that seal in his sea of consciousness. Otherwise, the celestial phenomena might have become even more dramatic and far more prolonged.
What Jiang Chen could not have expected was that his breakthrough had already caused a massive uproar across the outside world.
Across the entire Divine Abyss Continent, countless dormant ancient monsters had turned their gazes toward the Myriad Phenomena Region, their eyes filled with wariness.
Immersed in the exhilaration of breaking through to the Origin Realm, Jiang Chen was fully absorbed in the rewards of his advancement.
Once the gates of the Origin Realm opened, countless martial doors swung wide as well.
The Ice Fire Demon Lotus was growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Having entered the Origin Realm, the functions of the Ice Fire Demon Lotus had been further unlocked.
At this moment, Jiang Chen could now instantly control seventy-two Ice Fire Demon Lotuses.
Most importantly, the many attributes of the Ice Fire Demon Lotus were being gradually revealed after his entry into the Origin Realm. The "Demon" in Ice Fire Demon Lotus signified that it already possessed numerous wondrous properties.
Jiang Chen naturally couldn't ignore these extraordinary abilities.
"The Ice Fire Demon Lotus is also known as the Ice Fire Illusory Lotus. Now that I've entered the Origin Realm, I can use it to simulate my physical body, letting the Ice Fire Demon Lotus replicate my true form and deceive my opponents."
After entering the Origin Realm, the opponents he would face were entirely different. Jiang Chen knew he had to constantly develop new techniques — otherwise, when facing increasingly powerful enemies, if his skills didn't evolve and were fully analyzed by his opponents, he would be completely suppressed in battle.
Beyond this "Illusion" divine ability, the Star-Destroying Finger that Jiang Chen had been cultivating could also be fused with the Ice Fire Demon Lotus.
The Star-Destroying Finger was a divine ability from the Myriad Heavens Planes, condensing vast spiritual energy into a single finger to unleash a devastating force capable of destroying everything.
Jiang Chen's current Star-Destroying Finger naturally couldn't reach the level of obliterating an entire planet, but its source of power could be augmented by the Ice Fire Demon Lotus.
The power of masses of ice lotuses, the power of masses of fire lotuses — all could be instantly channeled into his Star-Destroying Finger, forming an overwhelmingly lethal strike.
It was precisely this that Jiang Chen had tested in a small way when he faced Wu Chen, the inspector of the Nine Suns Heavenly Sect.
At the time, Jiang Chen had only learned the bare surface of the Star-Destroying Finger, without delving into deeper cultivation.
Now, having broken through to the Origin Realm, his power had been massively amplified. Within his Spirit Sea, there was an endless supply of Origin Force, causing his strength to multiply several times over.
The form of his Ice Fire Demon Lotus had expanded dramatically as well.
With this, his wellspring of power was even more abundant than before. Compared to the Spirit Realm, the increase was definitely more than fivefold.
"The Star-Destroying Finger contains countless profound layers. Those most difficult aspects, I still can't cultivate at this stage. But a pure Origin Force attack alone is already devastating enough — within the Origin Realm, it would be sufficient to dominate."
