Thus, the Abyss Dragon God began searching for Zheng Dong.
It vanished from its spot, heading towards Yanhuang.
Meanwhile, Zheng Dong also discovered the changes in Yanhuang.
Looking at the ruined imperial capital, Zheng Dong frowned.
What happened?
The imperial capital was gone, and no one survived.
Many abyss monsters were still roaming around.
Zheng Dong approached an abyss monster and drew his Blade of the Past, slashing at it.
This abyss monster could not withstand Zheng Dong's attack at all, being split in two with a single strike.
However, it did not die.
Its divine soul and divine personality were still present.
Zheng Dong captured it and directly accessed the abyss monster's memories.
Instantly, he understood the process of the imperial capital's destruction.
Zheng Dong did not expect to see Long Zhen Chuan Shuo and others so soon.
Before, he had planned to relocate Yanhuang into the Star God Realm.
But with the great tribulation descending, even the Star God Realm was not safe.
And before this plan could be implemented, the imperial capital was gone.
Enraged, Zheng Dong crushed the abyss monster's divine personality and annihilated its divine soul.
Then, he raised the Blade of the Past and slew the surrounding abyss monsters one by one, avenging Long Zhen Chuan Shuo and the others.
As Zheng Dong raised the Blade of the Past, he struck down an abyss monster.
But this did not intimidate the other abyss monsters.
The surrounding abyss monsters roared and lunged at Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong did not hold back, using Bloodline Manifestation to summon divine beasts and send them against the abyss monsters.
With each swing of his blade, the heads of abyss monsters fell to the ground.
Not only were their heads severed by Zheng Dong, but their divine personalities and souls were also annihilated with a single strike.
After Zheng Dong killed all the surrounding abyss monsters, he prepared to pay respects to Long Zhen Chuan Shuo and all the victims.
"I will avenge you..." Zheng Dong murmured, looking at the remaining ruins of the imperial capital.
From the memories of the abyss monsters, he also learned that the Abyss Dragon God was the one manipulating everything behind the scenes.
The Abyss Dragon God possessed supreme strength, and Zheng Dong was no match for it now.
But once he became a Supreme, he might have a chance for revenge.
At that moment, Zheng Dong also sensed danger.
His eyelids twitched incessantly.
This had never happened before.
He was about to use spatial teleportation to leave the imperial capital base city.
As his figure was about to vanish from his spot, a giant dragon claw tore through the spatial barrier and lunged at him.
The Abyss Dragon God?
Zheng Dong immediately recognized the other party.
He did not expect the Abyss Dragon God to attack him so suddenly.
He quickly used his Temporal Domain to conceal himself and evade the Abyss Dragon God's attack.
But he was still injured.
Fortunately, he then used spatial teleportation to leave his original location.
However, after appearing hundreds of miles away, he felt danger again, knowing that the Abyss Dragon God was pursuing him.
He had no choice but to use spatial teleportation again.
However, the Abyss Dragon God was faster, with half of its body already breaking through the spatial barrier to arrive.
Zheng Dong frowned.
He knew that if he continued to run, he would definitely be caught by the Abyss Dragon God.
What should he do?
Only by returning to the past timeline or heading to the future timeline could he possibly escape the Abyss Dragon God.
With his current strength, he was no match for the Abyss Dragon God.
Zheng Dong took out the Corridor of Time and attempted to return to the past timeline.
The Corridor of Time caused violent temporal fluctuations, and Zheng Dong was about to disappear.
The Abyss Dragon God struck again with its claw.
Damn it, you can't escape.
It did not expect Zheng Dong to still possess such a divine artifact as the Corridor of Time.
If Zheng Dong escaped to the past timeline, it would be very troublesome for it to find him.
Moreover, without the Corridor of Time, the difficulty of returning to the past timeline was far greater for it, and it would not be able to pursue Zheng Dong.
Its dragon claw struck Zheng Dong.
However, Zheng Dong's body also vanished into the ripples of temporal distortion.
Zheng Dong was lucky enough to succeed on his first attempt.
He returned to a year prior.
The man in black had not yet appeared, and the Abyss Dragon God had not yet revived.
He could cultivate here with peace of mind.
However, even killing the soon-to-be-revived Abyss Dragon God would not cause much damage to the Abyss Dragon God in the present timeline.
Therefore, he did not seek out the soon-to-be-revived Abyss Dragon God.
Instead, he opened a star gate, returned to the Star God Realm, and entered seclusion to continue cultivating.
He had no choice but to cultivate.
When he arrived, he was injured by the Abyss Dragon God and needed to recover quickly.
Otherwise, if he could not withstand the repulsion of time and space, he would return to reality.
The Star God Realm had merged into the outer starry sky, with stars everywhere, and star beasts could be seen everywhere.
Zheng Dong used the Star Key to find a desolate planet and entered seclusion to cultivate.
He summoned Jingjing, who transformed into a house.
On the surface, it looked like a bare giant rock, but inside, it was a different world, like a castle.
Zheng Dong entered a spacious room to check his injuries.
His chest was bloody and mangled, several bones were broken, and even his lung lobes were pierced by the broken bones.
If he had not constructed his divine body, he would not have been able to withstand the Abyss Dragon God's palm strike.
The Abyss Dragon God's power was like a tornado within his body, disrupting his internal organs.
Under such circumstances, he could only heal his injuries before continuing to cultivate.
This was the result of him escaping quickly.
If he had taken the full force of the Abyss Dragon God's palm strike, his constructed bloodline divine body would likely have collapsed instantly.
The power of a Supreme was truly immense.
Fortunately, even a Supreme could not freely traverse time and space.
Otherwise, he would have had nowhere to hide.
Then, Zheng Dong used the combination skill Ultimate Speed Regeneration to quickly heal the flesh on his chest, mend his broken ribs, and return them to normal.
However, this did not solve the fundamental problem.
He had to purge the Abyss Dragon God's power from his body.
But it was very difficult to clear the power of a Supreme.
The Abyss Dragon God's power clung to Zheng Dong's body like a stubborn stain, continuously damaging him.
Moreover, if Zheng Dong returned to the present timeline, the Abyss Dragon God could use this power to quickly locate him.
Zheng Dong asked the Undying Dragon God and the Chaos Divine Phoenix for help.
The Chaos Divine Phoenix's divine soul imprint was still within the Corridor of Time; it had not yet revived.
The Undying Dragon God was lying in the Sea of Endless within Xiao Qing, showing no intention of leaving.
Thus, Zheng Dong opened the Corridor of Time and awakened the Chaos Divine Phoenix.
He then had Xiao Qing invite the Undying Dragon God out of the Sea of Endless.
The Undying Dragon God yawned and lazily looked at Zheng Dong.
"What's wrong, kid? You had to disturb my sleep!"
"The Abyss Dragon God has recovered its Supreme strength, and it's even more powerful than before. I was injured by it, and I don't dare to return to the present timeline for now," Zheng Dong explained.
Instantly, the Undying Dragon God's eyes widened.
"What? The Abyss Dragon God's strength has recovered?"
As a fellow Supreme, the Undying Dragon God found it hard to believe.
It had not yet managed to recover its strength, but the Abyss Dragon God had, which was completely unreasonable!
The Chaos Divine Phoenix also showed a surprised expression. It had not yet revived, only a mere imprint, while the Abyss Dragon God had not only revived but also recovered its strength. This was a blow to its pride.
After all, the Abyss Dragon God was considered the weakest among them.
"Are you kidding me, kid?" the Chaos Divine Phoenix said.
"The Abyss Dragon God's future self devoured its injured original body, successfully replacing it and becoming even stronger. It created a large number of abyss monsters and aims to rule the entire world," Zheng Dong continued.
The Undying Dragon God was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"That's quite possible. Hahaha... The Abyss Dragon God, that fellow, finally got devoured by someone!"
"What are you laughing at? Even though it was devoured, it's not dead. In a sense, its future self is still it, just with a part of its will dominating," the Chaos Divine Phoenix said.
It was somewhat worried. It did not get along with the Abyss Dragon God, and if the Abyss Dragon God unified the world, it might find ways to destroy the revival methods left behind by them Supremes, making its own revival even more difficult.
No, it had to revive as soon as possible.
The present timeline could not be dominated by the Abyss Dragon God.
It looked at Zheng Dong and continued,
"You want us to help you clear the Abyss Dragon God's power from your body?"
Zheng Dong nodded slightly.
"The Abyss Dragon God's power is constantly damaging my constructed divine body."
"The Abyss Dragon God's power is inherently strange and unpredictable. If it's not thoroughly cleared, and you encounter the Abyss Dragon God again later, it might cost you your life.
My current state cannot help you clear it, but I can teach you the Chaos Divine Flame. The Chaos Divine Flame can incinerate all things in the world, even the Abyss Dragon God's power.
However, mastering the Chaos Divine Flame also requires enduring the pain of being burned by it. You need to consider carefully whether you want to learn it!" the Chaos Divine Phoenix said.
The Undying Dragon God immediately looked at the Chaos Divine Phoenix in surprise.
"You're actually willing to pass on the Chaos Divine Flame to this kid?"
"Hmph, I'm not like you, being so stingy," the Chaos Divine Phoenix raised its head proudly.
Of course, it had its own motives for doing so.
It needed Zheng Dong's help to revive.
It had left behind a Chaos Divine Stone, but to obtain it, one needed to master the Chaos Divine Flame.
Zheng Dong decided to master the Chaos Divine Flame without any hesitation.
If he could master the Chaos Divine Flame, his strength would increase significantly.
He would have more ability to resist the Abyss Dragon God.
Then, the Chaos Divine Phoenix began to teach Zheng Dong how to master the Chaos Divine Flame.
The Chaos Divine Phoenix opened its mouth, and scorching Chaos Divine Flame erupted from it, engulfing Zheng Dong.
The intense heat caused Zheng Dong to writhe in pain, as if he were being cut by a thousand knives.
"Feel the Chaos Divine Flame, try to comprehend it, guide it into your body, and expel the Abyss Dragon God's power!" the Chaos Divine Phoenix instructed.
Zheng Dong frowned.
It sounded simple, but it was difficult to do.
His current state did not allow him to relax at all. Let alone comprehending the Chaos Divine Flame, he had to constantly adjust his own power to resist the Chaos Divine Flame.
Otherwise, he would be burned to death in the next second.
This state lasted for a long time before Zheng Dong dared to be slightly distracted and sense the surrounding Chaos Divine Flame.
The Chaos Divine Phoenix was not in a hurry. It guided Zheng Dong to comprehend the Chaos Divine Flame while releasing it, minimizing the damage to Zheng Dong.
But the Chaos Divine Flame was no ordinary flame.
Even without touching it, just looking at it from afar made one feel as if they were about to catch fire.
The Chaos Divine Flame could burn the divine body along with the divine soul and divine personality.
It also possessed the characteristics of a heart fire. Just looking at it from afar carried the risk of being burned. It would drag your thoughts and consciousness into an endless sea of fire and incinerate them.
At that point, the divine soul and divine personality would be destroyed first, followed by the divine body.
Fortunately, with the guidance of the Chaos Divine Phoenix, Zheng Dong's comprehension of the Chaos Divine Flame did not involve many detours, and everything went relatively smoothly.
But even so, he endured considerable pain.
It seemed as if his divine body was being roasted by the Chaos Divine Flame, his skin turning red and hot, with steam rising from his nostrils.
Gradually, Zheng Dong developed his own understanding of the Chaos Divine Flame.
The Chaos Divine Flame was very special; the deeper the comprehension, the greater its power.
The Chaos Divine Flame mastered by the Chaos Divine Phoenix's future self could even evolve worlds from a single wisp of flame.
At this point, the Chaos Divine Phoenix said,
"Hold your breath and concentrate, condense the fire seed!"
To master the Chaos Divine Flame, one needed to condense their own fire seed, otherwise Zheng Dong could not continuously release the Chaos Divine Flame like the Chaos Divine Phoenix.
Under the guidance of the Chaos Divine Phoenix, Zheng Dong attempted to condense a fire seed.
The condensation of the fire seed required him to comprehend the Chaos Divine Flame to a certain extent and condense it according to his own understanding.
In Zheng Dong's view, the Chaos Divine Flame was not just scorching; it could also be icy, drawing heat from its surroundings. It could not only burn all things but also nourish life, releasing light and heat.
Therefore, the fire seed he condensed appeared like a sun within his Beast Taming Space.
With the appearance of this sun, his Beast Taming Space became more complete, seemingly having the potential to evolve into an independent world.
However, his Chaos Divine Flame fire seed was not strong enough yet, and it could not release much power.
Its effect on the Beast Taming Space was also very limited.
But as his strength increased, his Beast Taming Space would inevitably be strengthened.
Sensing that Zheng Dong's fire seed had been condensed, the Chaos Divine Phoenix breathed a sigh of relief.
It was the first time it had passed on the Chaos Divine Flame.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Dong had actually mastered it.
Zheng Dong's will was much stronger than it had anticipated.
Otherwise, he would have been burned to death by the Chaos Divine Flame long ago.
"Zheng Dong, continue to comprehend the Chaos Divine Flame, strengthen the fire seed, and stabilize it!" the Chaos Divine Phoenix continued.
Tens of days later, Zheng Dong's fire seed had completely stabilized, showing no signs of collapse.
Thus, Zheng Dong could attempt to use the fire seed to mobilize the Chaos Divine Flame to expel and burn the Abyss Dragon God's power within his body.
The Chaos Divine Flame formed into small phoenixes that roamed within Zheng Dong's body. Whenever they found the Abyss Dragon God's power, they would swarm it and incinerate it.
The Abyss Dragon God's power, in the form of abyss dragons, was like demons, constantly destroying Zheng Dong's body.
Upon seeing these small phoenixes, they were not afraid but instead lunged at them.
Unfortunately, they were outnumbered and gradually suppressed, either choosing to leave Zheng Dong's body or being incinerated.
Zheng Dong painstakingly removed all of the Abyss Dragon God's power from his body, not daring to be careless.
If he returned to the present timeline and the Abyss Dragon God used these residual powers to cause trouble, it would be a big problem.
Fortunately, things went relatively smoothly, and all of the Abyss Dragon God's power was eventually removed by Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong's body also recovered quickly.
At this point, the Chaos Divine Phoenix continued,
"Zheng Dong, I need you to go to the Chaos Sea and retrieve the Chaos Divine Stone for me!"
