Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

In the Luojing Divine Palace, Yu Youyuan of the East Abyss sat on the high platform of the main hall of the Divine Palace. His dark gold robe draped like the night, with the Truth Divine Pattern on the robe flickering, casting his sharp features in a more austere light.

His appearance was rather disheveled; the jade crown and divine diadem on his head had shattered at some point, his black hair spilled over his shoulders, and his battle robes bore scorch marks, with faint traces of dark golden blood seeping through the gaps in his armor. Yet, he sat there, steadfast and imposing on the Divine Platform, his divine power as daunting as a prison, and as profound as an abyss.

Between his brows was a vertical eye in the shape of Tai Chi, spinning madly, reflecting the seven abyssal phantoms shuttling through the spatial rift in the depths of its pupil.

Yu Youyuan noticed that the Void Rift from the West Abyss had crept to his feet, and the Power of Space-Time from the Central Abyss had been continuously affecting the flow of time and the spatial structure within the Divine Palace.

For now, these forces were all being suppressed by a small dark gold bell in Yu Youyuan's hand.

This Abyss Divine Artifact, ironically named 'Eastern Emperor' by the Heavenly Demon, known by its true name as 'Silent Bell,' embodies the marvel of motion and stillness. In motion, its sound like Thunder reverberates through heaven and earth, disrupting cosmos; in stillness, it suppresses all, freezing space-time, seizing various powers.

However, some cracks had already formed on the surface of the Eastern Emperor Bell.

The Heavenly Dragon outside the hall howled in distress, its cyan scales torn by dark tendrils, while its frost-bound tail was being gnawed inch by inch by the fangs of the Devouring Heavenly Venerate.

The defensive Array on the dome of the Divine Palace was cracking like a spiderweb, with fragments continuously breaking apart outside the palace, accompanied by Purgatory's fiery rain crashing down.

Yet, Yu Youyuan remained unmoved, instead turning to look at the two people ahead.

One was Cheng Zaotian, a small, white-browed, white-haired old man, his face covered with wrinkles and traces of time and frost. At that moment, he stood solemnly at the bottom of the steps, eyes on the nose, nose on the heart, with an extremely respectful expression.

The other stood in front of Cheng Zaotian, cloaked in black, with his face obscured.

Even the Master of Motion and Stillness could only tell that he was very tall, exuding a highly potent and pure abyssal aura.

Yet the cloaked man was also gazing through the veil, locking eyes with Yu Youyuan: "As the situation stands, how can you, Lord of Motion and Stillness, still remain stubbornly ignorant? You are now besieged on all sides, surrounded by All Gods. Despite your unparalleled Divine Power, you cannot reverse the cosmos. Rather than struggle in vain, fighting like a trapped beast, it would be better to abandon fantasy and cooperate with us."

At that, the man chuckled softly: "If you miss this opportunity, once the situation changes further, even if you wish to change your mind, it will be irreversible. I hope you give it careful thought!"

"Taishang~"

Yu Youyuan murmured thoughtfully, then turned to look toward the Garden of Truth, his tone laced with curiosity: "All this, was it also within your calculated anticipation? Could the fate method be so strong?"

"How could it be possible? Even the Master of Superlimit struggles to truly control fate; otherwise, beings as mighty as Taishang, Great Sun, Fantasy, Immortal, would not have fallen one after another. I can only glimpse some traces of fate in the future and gain insight into the hearts and trends of people, guiding them accordingly."

The cloaked man clasped his hands behind him, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up behind the veil: "Just as 720 years ago, when I learned that the Lord of Motion and Stillness was not only practicing the Truth Method but also observing and understanding the Outer Heaven Demon, attempting to infiltrate the demons and comprehend Heavenly Demon Technology, I knew you desired to see if the demons' biotechnologies could aid you in advancing your Concept cultivation!"

He even knew that this Lord of Motion and Stillness had been assisting the Earth Federation in suppressing those capable of penetrating the Heavenly Curtain within the Longevity Realm.

Initially, the Abyss only saw some merit in the Heavenly Demon's biological technology.

Later, as the population of the Heavenly Demon's Base City gradually increased, he saw the potential for the expansion of the Heavenly Curtain.

The emergence of Artificial Sky technology further delighted the East Abyss immensely.

"Since your ascension to the Abyss, Lord of Motion and Stillness, it's been 67,000 years, making you the most ancient among the Tianji Five Gods, while few last over 70,000 years in any Abyss unless achieving Superlimit."

The cloaked man's voice resonated through the Divine Palace like the tolling of an ancient bell: "Thus, I know your urgency, which is evident from the way you have been refining Taishang's power. You used the method with the greatest future repercussions, scattering the Supreme Blood among mortals, saving you considerable effort in refining, yet it leaves a substantial hidden danger."

Yu Youyuan slightly clenched the hands hidden in his sleeves, his gaze cold as eternal ice: "So you anticipated that to transcend beyond the Root, I would surely hasten the pace?"

"Indeed!" The cloaked man acknowledged candidly: "To elevate the Truth Method to Divine Rank, you must quickly refine Taishang's power, dispersing more Supreme Blood to hasten the return of the Supreme True Spirit."

He gazed deeply at Yu Youyuan: "I hope Lord of Motion and Stillness does not resent my scheming."

"Since we are adversaries, let us rely on our respective means and abilities, with no grudge over victory or defeat."

Yu Youyuan slightly shook his head: "Now, I only wish to know, why did the Master of Destiny betray the Supreme Heavenly Venerate in the past, employing a series of maneuvers to incite the betrayal by Great Sun Venerable against Taishang?"

Cheng Zaotian, standing silently behind, had not spoken all along.

However, upon hearing this, a slight change flickered across his expression, and a touch of curiosity appeared in his eyes as he looked at the golden bricks underfoot.

The cloaked man laughed freely: "Where did you hear this rumor, Lord of Motion and Stillness? When did the Master of Destiny ever betray the Supreme Heavenly Venerate? Such ancient secrets from the primordial era are of no benefit to you, nor are they relevant to the present."
