The end of Gaowu: Becoming stronger from not practicing

He took the thunder from the Nine Netherworlds as his sword.

He took the Nine Yang Divine Tribulation as his soul.

The sword spirit came from within and without the Nine Netherworlds and Nine Heavens, and endless lightning formed a world-destroying lightning field. The onlookers, including the Immortal Lords, trembled in fear. Even some Immortal Emperors were amazed by the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor's sword strike.

Using the Nine Netherworlds as a sword and the Nine Heavens as a soul, such a grand scheme is enough to destroy the world.

In everyone's mind, let alone breaking the Five Elements Extinction Array, even tearing apart the Boundless Star Domain would be no problem.

"boom!"

The Five Elements Extinction Array formed a thick light curtain, the surface of which was covered with dragon scale patterns and the phantoms of many ancient demons.

At this moment, all life merges with this great formation, together supporting it.

In a daze, one could see Zhang Lingfeng sitting quietly in the canyon.

The area he was in was one of the safer areas in the Boundless Starfield, personally arranged by the Dragon King, ensuring that Zhang Lingfeng would not be the first to be affected.

Even if the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor entered the Boundless Star Domain, it would be difficult for him to find Zhang Lingfeng. He would need to break through layers of magic arrays to lock onto Zhang Lingfeng's figure.

"boom!"

With the Nine Netherworlds as its sword and the Nine Heavens as its soul, that terrifying sword spirit seemed to pierce into people's chests, a single sword thrusting into the Boundless Star Domain.

What time.

The winds and clouds in the Boundless Starfield are constantly changing.

Every living being that supported this great formation felt their heart clenching, and pain permeated their entire body.

"Ouch!"

The Dragon King is chanting.

"Fuck you."

……

A group of ancient demons, some thousands of years old, are roaring.

"This is the Boundless Star Domain. Even if you are an Immortal Emperor, you cannot act recklessly here. If you have the guts, come in yourself!"

"The Stone King roared."

His enormous body, composed of countless stones, was cracking at the chest, with countless fissures appearing. With a loud bang, his body suddenly collapsed like a mountain.

Countless grains of mud and sand rolled down.

But the surrounding stones automatically converged.

This formed another body of the Stone King, which forcefully supported the array power in this area, making the array power in this area as solid as a rock.

The vines of the Demon Cloud Vine were automatically contracting and extending. Many branches and leaves turned from fresh emerald green to withered yellow, then to charred black. Large areas of the root system withered and even caught fire.

However, the Demon Cloud Vine has a very strong vitality. The leaves or roots that fall to the ground can quickly be reborn and become lush and green again in the blink of an eye.

"puff!"

The Demon River is boiling.

The river kept gushing out from underground, with blood plasma vaguely visible, as if the demon river was vomiting blood, or as if the demon river itself was surging out with magma.

The Demon River was also impacted.

But this damage was not enough to make it surrender.

Its river trunks crisscross every part of the boundless star field, forming the Yangtze River, and countless trickles are all part of its body.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor's sword strike wasn't solely aimed at it, but the lives supporting the Five Elements Extinction Array were also attacked invisibly, as if they were sharing the power.

The Five Elements Extinction Formation was still unable to completely block the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor's sword strike; its powerful penetrating force caused many beings to furrow their brows.

However, the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor was still unable to break the Five Elements Extinction Formation with this one sword.

"boom!"

Zhang Lingfeng's heart raced.

He is also using the Dingkun technique to integrate his Dao into the Heavenly Dao, allowing himself to be embraced by the Heavenly Dao, forming the Immortal Emperor Law, and advancing from Immortal Lord to Immortal Emperor.

But this is not a simple matter.

Fortunately, his immortal essence was strong enough that when that power was distributed to him, it no longer affected him. However, the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor was coming for him, although he was unable to lock onto Zhang Lingfeng's location immediately.

However, the sword intent of this sword could automatically lock onto Zhang Lingfeng, forming a powerful mental pressure. If his immortal essence had not yet reached the standard of an immortal emperor, even if Zhang Lingfeng was a level 5 soul essence master, he would still be harmed.

If this happens a few times, his Taoist practices may become unable to integrate with the Heavenly Dao.

They will never be able to advance to the level of Immortal Emperor.

Ascending to the Immortal Emperor means that the Dao and the Heavenly Dao are merged together, gaining the Heavenly Dao's approval, and forming the Immortal Emperor's Laws. The birth of terrifying life forms also means the demise of those terrifying life forms.

The appearance of each Immortal Emperor means that someone's opportunity will be stolen.

The reason why the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor was grateful to the White Ocean Immortal Emperor was because the White Ocean Immortal Emperor had once protected the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor, ensuring that the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor successfully advanced to the level of an Immortal Emperor.

Zhang Lingfeng is in the Boundless Starfield.

No one protected him.

But countless lives also joined him in fighting against the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

Zhang Lingfeng, who was trapped in the Five Elements Extinction Formation, dared not tell anyone that his immortal essence had reached the standard of an immortal emperor and that he was trying to integrate his Dao techniques into the Heavenly Dao.

Every Immortal Emperor undergoes a tribulation upon birth.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor was Zhang Lingfeng's tribulation.

The events of today seem to be all within the original cycle of cause and effect, all within the calculations of the Heavenly Dao, and Zhang Lingfeng is powerless to change them.

Compared to other Immortal Emperors, the tribulations they encountered during their ascension were different.

Clearly, the tribulation Zhang Lingfeng is currently experiencing is much more serious, not only because another Immortal Emperor is preventing him from attaining Immortal Emperor status.

Although the other party was unaware, he was currently attempting to attain the Dao of Immortal Emperor.

But the dangers involved are self-evident.

Zhang Lingfeng did not tell the Dragon King or any other living beings about his current situation. He did not want the Dragon King and the others to be distracted, and he was also afraid that the Dragon King and the others would not be able to withstand this calamity.

"boom!"

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor was well aware of the terrifying nature of the Five Elements Extinction Array.

A single sword strike could not break this great formation.

He didn't even descend directly to the Boundless Starfield at this moment, but chose to fight remotely, with several arrays and Daoist protections in between to avoid being harmed by the power of the array.

The sword shadow fell again.

It was as if countless swords were trying to pierce into the Boundless Starfield and turn it into chaos.

"Ouch!"

The Dragon King roared in anger.

A colossal phantom of a divine dragon appeared in the sky above the Boundless Starfield. It wielded the Five Elements Extinction Array and led a group of ancient demons from the Boundless Starfield to fight against the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

The sword's shadow landed on the dragon's shadow, blocked by its scales, but in just a moment, the sword's edge pierced through it, seemingly piercing into the dragon king's body.

"Ah!"

A group of ancient demons roared in anger.

The array patterns of the Five Elements Extinction Array erupted with a powerful light, forming a vortex that sucked in the sword's edge.

"boom!"

Immediately, a rebounding force deflected the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor's sword strike back.

at the same time.

Suddenly, the great formation absorbed most of the power of numerous lives, forming a beam of light that shot towards the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor, who was hiding somewhere unknown.

The power of the Five Elements Extinction Formation lies in its ability to annihilate, not defend.

Now that the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor has made his move, there is no need for the Dragon King and all the ancient demons to continue to hold back. They all unleash their most terrifying power to fight against the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor together.

That beam of light seemed to incorporate the five elements of Taoism, bringing the concept of extinction to its extreme; wherever it passed, life was burned to ashes.

One after another, formations and techniques were destroyed by this power.

It felt as if we could directly reach the Nine Suns Star Region.

Finally, the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor appeared on the other side of the starry sky.

Once again, he harnessed the Nine Nether Thunder and the Nine Heavens Divine Tribulation to form a terrifying sword soul power, which destroyed the beam of light.

As a Celestial Emperor.

In the eyes of countless beings, he is an absolutely invincible being.

He looked down upon the world with disdain, his power resounding throughout the land. Even a fleeting glimpse of his figure was enough to make countless lives bow down in worship.

"Greetings, Nine Yang Immortal Emperor."

"By the Celestial Emperor!"

"Welcome, Nine Yang Immortal Emperor."

……

In the starry sky, countless lives are either worshipping or whispering.

Without exception, every life looks up to the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

No matter how powerful the Dragon King in my Boundless Star Domain is, he has lost his identity as the Dragon Emperor. There are countless ancient demons in the Boundless Star Domain, but they are worlds apart from the Immortal Emperor.

In the eyes of countless lives.

The Immortal Emperor is a supreme being, even representing the Heavenly Dao, and no one can defeat him.

Even if the ancient demons in the Boundless Starfield united as one, it would be to no avail.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor ignored the gazes of those who looked up to him.

His figure finally arrived in front of the Boundless Starfield from the other side of the starry sky. The Five Elements Extinction Array had already locked onto him. Continuing to hide would be futile and would only make him a laughing stock.

Since he is an Immortal Emperor, he should personally destroy this Five Elements Extinction Array in front of countless lives.

Why are you doing this to yourselves?

The Dao of the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

To fight him means death.

This applies to both the Dragon King and other ancient demons.

As a Celestial Emperor, Jiu Yang had no reverence for the Dragon King, especially since the Dragon King had been driven out of the Dragon Clan. In his eyes, the Dragon King was nothing more than a divine beast that had lost its glory and was now arrogant.

He was able to break the Five Elements Extinction Formation.

However, it will also consume a lot of energy and may even lead to many negative consequences.

If the Dragon King is willing to hand over Zhang Lingfeng, he is willing to give the Dragon King and all life a dignified ending.

"You brat, come at me if you dare!"

The Dragon King scoffed.

Back when he was still a member of the Dragon Clan and the Dragon Emperor, the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor might not have been born yet. He was merely an Immortal Emperor of six thousand years, and the Dragon King certainly didn't take him seriously.

Although he is no longer the Dragon Emperor, with the help of the Five Elements Extinction Formation and all the ancient demons, the Dragon King is still confident that he can go toe-to-toe with the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor was not angered.

Dragons have always been proud, especially since the Dragon King was once the Dragon Emperor.

"Out of respect for your seniority, I will not hold it against you. Hand over Zhang Lingfeng, and the Boundless Starfield will return to the way it was in the past."

"That's what the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor said."

"Ouch!"

The Dragon King roared in anger.

It formed a dragon claw shadow and slammed down on the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor's gaze sharpened, and the dragon claw shadow shattered automatically before him. Then, the Dragon King's phantom also vanished before him, as if it had been disintegrated.

"boom!"

The Five Elements Extinction Array released a powerful beam of light once again, shining towards the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor. Locked in by this array, the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor could not dodge, even though he possessed many Daoist powers and was even recognized by the Heavenly Dao, possessing the Immortal Emperor Law.

We must not allow our lives to be despised because they are cheap.

But since the Dragon King was in charge of activating the formation, there was nothing he could do about it.

His body was quickly enveloped by the beam of light.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly.

The beam of light gradually dimmed.

The Nine Yang Immortal Emperor was unharmed, but the star field behind him was deathly silent, as if countless lives had perished in an instant.

"madness!"

He said lightly.

Then he pointed it out.

The thunder of the Nine Netherworlds and the divine tribulations of the Nine Heavens converged on this finger, forming a terrifying sword soul that struck the Five Elements Extinction Array.

"boom!"

The Boundless Starfield appeared as if cracks had appeared.

Between each planet, the forces pulling at each other are so strong that they seem about to be torn apart.

The Five Elements Extinction Formation has developed wounds.

Countless forces converged on it, forming a beam of light once again, attempting to repel the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor's finger.

"puff!"

Countless ancient demons, some tens of thousands of years old, are spitting blood.

The once vibrant green Demon Cloud Vine has now turned a withered yellow from top to bottom, its life force rapidly declining, and many of its roots are even burning.

Many tributaries of the Demon River also showed signs of drying up, with the river level dropping sharply, as if the tide had receded, leaving it on its last legs.

The woman in red's hair changed from dark blue to grayish-white, and then to pure white. Her aura also weakened, indicating that she was cursed.

They are suffering a blow at this moment.

His strength increased from the Immortal Lord realm to the Nine Heavens Mystic Immortal realm.

Even the Ghost King was weeping.

These ancient demons, though they had cultivated for many years, were still very weak in front of the Immortal Emperor. If it weren't for the Five Elements Extinction Array, they would be no different from ants.

Facing the full force of the Nine Yang Immortal Emperor's attack.

Even the Dragon King, whose scales were falling off and whose mouth was overflowing with blood, still sat in the center of the formation, maintaining its operation.

The Dragon King will not retreat.

None of the ancient demons dared to retreat easily.

Why are they doing this?

A powerful immortal lord, far away on the other side of the starry sky, asked in bewilderment.

In their eyes, neither the Dragon King nor those ancient demons had any connection with Zhang Lingfeng. They simply couldn't understand why they would risk fighting against a Celestial Emperor for Zhang Lingfeng's sake.

Whether they had gone mad from their cultivation or had been bewitched by Zhang Lingfeng remains to be seen.

"Approved!"

Someone is whispering.

From the Wonfu Starfield.

Emperor Wangfu was also watching every move in the Boundless Star Domain.

People heard him whispering.

"Approval?"

Some people still have doubts.

"These guys, if it weren't for the recent series of events that have long been forgotten by the world above, they're not doing this for Zhang Lingfeng, but for themselves."

A celestial being who had also cultivated for ten thousand years sighed.

"The most tormenting thing is a power that is visible yet untouchable. Perhaps the Dragon King wants to free himself by doing this!"

"To die at the hands of the Immortal Emperor might be the best ending for them."

"If we were to defeat a Celestial Emperor, it would amaze the entire Upper World, and from then on, no life form would dare to underestimate them."

"No matter what, it's still too foolish to do this."

Some people were shocked, while others were confused.

"Confronting the Immortal Emperor might offer them an opportunity; who knows?"

"That's what the Soul Emperor said."

He and the White Tiger Immortal Emperor had been observing the changes in the Boundless Starfield. Hearing the discussions among the crowd and seeing Ma Qingqing's slight confusion, he offered his explanation. (End of Chapter)
