I wield power with my innate talents, and forge the Heavenly Court.

Seeing no hope of escape, Zhang Xianzhong immediately began burning his life essence, pushing it to its ultimate level.
"boom!"

Zhang Xianzhong, his avatar, and even the blood river beneath him all suddenly erupted with dazzling blood flames. As the blood river rapidly shrank, the power around him began to surge.

Even the surrounding laws of heaven and earth began to resonate with it, and the power of those laws flowed back into its body.

An immense power surged, causing even space itself to distort slightly.

Today, Zhang Xianzhong has integrated with the world of the Celestial Empire.

But in essence, it is still a native life form of the late Ming Dynasty world.

Therefore, in this world, Zhang Xianzhong was one of their own.

In particular, as the Ming Empire occupied more and more territory and its national fortunes spread wider and wider, more and more people joined the Ming Empire.

As the world's power waned at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it also became increasingly concentrated, gradually gathering in the hands of a few individuals.

Zhang Xianzhong, in particular, who could fight the Ming army head-on, was of paramount importance and became almost the only opportunity and force for resistance in this world.

Zhang Xianzhong's actions were utterly heinous crimes against life and humanity.

But from the world's perspective, that's just normal competition.

As the saying goes, Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs.

Who lives and who dies is of no importance to the world.

On the contrary, Zhang Xianzhong's power increase through killing and devouring life will in turn raise the upper limit of the world itself.

In a sense, Zhang Xianzhong of today is the chosen one, the protagonist of destiny, in the late Ming Dynasty.

His successive comprehension of various powerful secret techniques may well be due to the world's biased support.

At this moment, as Zhang Xianzhong burned his essence and blood to the extreme, his strength increased rapidly.

The laws of nature in this world began to instinctively resonate and harmonize with it.

Because this is almost the last force and opportunity for resistance in this world.

"buzzing"

The heavens and earth trembled, and crimson rays of light burst forth, instantly enveloping Zhang Xianzhong.

Zhang Xianzhong's power and soul consciousness gradually began to align with the rules of heaven and earth. What was originally a rapidly depleting power was suddenly transferred to the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

The area covered by the blood river stopped shrinking instantly and began to expand rapidly.

In just a moment, it returned to its original size, and amidst the rippling waves, blood-red light soared into the sky.

Moreover, what was originally an evil and bizarre power now seemed more dignified and upright.

"Huh? You can do that?"

Upon seeing this, Wang Dahu's eyes lit up.

On the other side, Chen Zhengyang was equally surprised. Could his Karmic Fire Red Lotus purification power still be effective against such a grand and righteous power?

On the other side, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out a three-foot-long red light, staring at Wang Dahu in front of him with an icy indifference on his face.

Seeing this, Wang Dahu couldn't help but frown slightly. He felt that Zhang Xianzhong seemed to have changed somewhat from before.

This is not an increase or change in power, but a change in the soul, consciousness, and energy.

However, in the next instant, Wang Dahu looked at the power of rules surrounding Zhang Xianzhong and revealed a look of understanding.

When the mind and spirit align with the rules, one can evolve one's own way.

Isn't this the evolutionary process of the Dao Fruit?
only.
Zhang Xianzhong's cultivation level was too low; at most, he was at the peak of supernatural powers, close to the realm of immortality.

Even if one forcibly burns their essence and blood to achieve extreme sublimation, they can at most reach the peak of immortality.

Moreover, it would put immense pressure on itself. If it hadn't already transformed into a river of blood, it would have inevitably collapsed, dying and disappearing.

Perhaps, on a personal level, this is an absolutely remarkable level of cultivation.

At least in the Celestial Empire, even if the world is upgraded time and time again and the energy becomes extremely concentrated, the superhumans outside the Celestial Empire can only reach the peak of Qi Refining at most.

Of course, it's not that they can't break through to a higher level, it's just that there's simply too little time.

The fact that one could break through to the peak of Qi Refining in such a short time is already due to the extremely rich energy of the world in the Celestial Empire.

Those powerful beings at the supernatural realm are all rulers of a country, formed by the accumulation of the nation's fortune.

At this time, Zhang Xianzhong relied entirely on his personal achievements. When he unleashed his full power in battle, he was even comparable to a person at the Longevity Realm.

Through ultimate sublimation, one can even reach the pinnacle of immortality.

However, with his current level of cultivation, he is still far from being able to condense a Dao Fruit.

Longevity, Celestial Being, Immortality, and only after that comes the realm of Cave Heaven Dao Fruit, which condenses and evolves the Dao Fruit.

Even a cultivator with normal cultivation level who condenses a Dao Fruit may have their mind and spirit overwhelmed by the power of the Dao Fruit and the information within it, leading to a mental breakdown and direct transformation into the Dao. This is even more true for someone like Zhang Xianzhong, whose cultivation level is far inferior to his.

Even with the active cooperation of the rules of heaven and earth, their spiritual consciousness still cannot withstand it, and in the end, they can only turn to the path of transformation.

Even if it still has some consciousness at this point, it probably only has the instinctive thought of fighting and killing them left.

His attainment can only be considered a pseudo-Dao fruit that is about to be transformed into Dao.

“Kill~!”

He uttered a single, hollow, and eerie word, and "Zhang Xianzhong" instantly manipulated the Blood River to attack Wang Dahu.

The river of blood surged forth, swallowing and engulfing everything.

Wang Dahu possessed the same explosive power.

Although it is only at the Longevity Realm, its mental consciousness and the essence of its power are genuine Dao Fruit Realm.

Even if their strength cannot be fully utilized, it is still enough to fight against Zhang Xianzhong.

After all, his Dao Fruit realm was largely inflated, and even with the support of the world, it was only comparable to Wang Dahu's.

However, as the battle continued, Wang Dahu gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

Because when he fought Zhang Xianzhong, he was also subject to the suppression and rejection of the rules of this world, which limited his power.

Zhang Xianzhong, on the other hand, was in harmony with the laws of heaven and earth, and his energy was arbitrarily mobilized.

Furthermore, the two sides were evenly matched at this point.

As time went on, Wang Dahu would inevitably find himself at a disadvantage.

However, Wang Dahu also gains considerable benefits in this process.

He felt that when he returned, his spiritual attainment would surely be further perfected.

Even the Great Dao of Blood will reach a level similar to the Great Dao of War.

Gradually, Wang Dahu began to decipher many of the mysteries of the Blood Path.

However, due to the suppression and constraints of the rules of heaven and earth, no matter how much Wang Dahu comprehends, his strength cannot break through to the realm of immortality.

Going deeper, one encounters the profound mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth, perhaps even more powerful ones.

However, for Wang Dahu, it was not so important.

After all, the rules governing the world in the Celestial Empire are far more complete and powerful than those in the late Ming Dynasty.

Since that's the case, there's naturally no need for him to continue entangled with Zhang Xianzhong. (End of Chapter)
