If you were asked to conquer immortality, you would just kill your way through?

The Celestial Sea Emperor descended, his massive body supporting the heavens. He looked down at Chen Zheng at the far end of time and space, and said without a trace of emotion, "So it was you, a mortal, who summoned a wisp of my true spirit? You seem to have no bloodline in you. Who are you?"

Chen Zheng stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "That's right, it's you I summoned, and I'm the one who will kill you."

He knew the specific origin of this Sea Emperor; he was a powerful being born in the ocean of the Xuanhuang Great World during an ancient era that was even more ancient than the ancient times.

At that time, the Sea God ruled over all the sea creatures in the world and created an extremely prosperous civilization called the Lost Civilization, which dominated that era.

Even in ancient times, when the Three Sovereigns emerged, they could not completely overshadow the Sea God's fame.

The Sea Emperor even led a lost civilization to invade the continent and fought against the Three Sovereigns before they had become Heavenly Sovereigns.

Later, the Sea Emperor ascended to the Celestial Realm, and the lost civilization, having lost its leader, gradually declined.

Now, the lineage of the Sea Emperor has been completely wiped out, leaving only the branch on Wan Gui Immortal Island.

Everyone in this sect shares the surname Wan, and for countless years they have never intermarried with anyone of a different surname, all in order to preserve the pure bloodline of the Sea Emperor so that they can go to the Immortal Realm to recognize the Sea Emperor as their relative in the future.

"You audacious ant, how dare you desecrate my majesty!" The Sea Emperor's eyes turned cold, his voice like rolling thunder, as if the heavens were enraged, shattering endless space and time.

He was the supreme immortal emperor of the upper realm, whose power shook the endless continents. He fought against the Heavenly Court all year round. It was truly unexpected that a nobody from the Longevity Secret Realm in the lower realm would dare to speak to him like this.

Such arrogant and ignorant people have no reason to exist in this world.

Swish!
The strangely shaped blue longsword in his hand moved slightly, drawing a mysterious and unpredictable trajectory. The sword's power shook the past and present, disturbed mountains and rivers, and cleaved towards the other end of the space-time wormhole.

"The sword is a fine sword, and the man is very strong, but unfortunately neither of them are the real deal. They're like clay chickens and earthenware dogs, easily defeated and unable to improve me much." At the end of time and space, atop the Righteous Peak, Chen Zheng shook his head.

This Sea Emperor, whom he summoned at the cost of the entire Wan Gui Immortal Island sect, was only equivalent to an ordinary True Immortal in strength.

The strangely shaped longsword in the Sea Emperor's hand is called the Lost Sword. It is extremely famous in the Immortal Realm and is on par with the King-grade Immortal Artifacts such as the Judgment Spear and the Spear of Revenge. Unfortunately, it is just a phantom cast from the Immortal Realm and is of no use to him.

His current strength is comparable to that of a celestial being, and he has almost reached the pinnacle of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.

Correspondingly, it is extremely difficult for him to advance further. Refining ordinary resources such as those from the Chaos Realm, Void Immortal, and True Immortal has very little effect on improving his cultivation.

Only by refining into a celestial being can one achieve a significant improvement.

That's why he summoned this so-called Sea Emperor to the mortal realm to see how strong the other party was and whether refining him could bring him a significant boost.

But I was disappointed.

The Sea Emperor isn't even enough to fill his teeth.

Even a mosquito's leg is still a piece of meat, better than nothing.

Chen Zheng moved, without displaying any supernatural powers or techniques. He simply extended his arm and probed into the space-time tunnel. With a casual flick of his fingers, as if playing a zither, he deflected the Lost Sword, which was hurtling towards him with earth-shattering force, from its original direction.

Then, his arm extended and emerged from the space-time tunnel, his large hand arriving above the Guicang Continent. His palm and fingers slowly unfolded like a scroll covering the land, enveloping the sea and grabbing at the Sea Emperor.

"Huh? You, an ant at the third level of immortality, are not even qualified to be the lowest-ranking slave in the Immortal Realm. How could you possibly withstand my Lost Sword?" The Sea Emperor's eyes were filled with disbelief.

In the Immortal Realm, any living being is born at the first level of Longevity, the Ten Thousand Years Realm. With a little cultivation, they can reach the seventh or eighth level, or even the tenth level.

But without becoming a celestial being, one is ultimately just an ant, unable even to break free from the earth's gravity and fly.

In the strictly hierarchical immortal realm, such ants are either arbitrarily killed by humans or bitten to death by wild beasts, or they become slaves to others, doing menial tasks such as mining or gathering herbs, and they will never have a chance to rise above their station.

Chen Zheng, who was standing before him, was not even as lowly as the lowest slave in the Immortal Realm. At most, he was someone who could barely walk and could only crawl on the ground. Yet, he could withstand a casual blow from him and even capture him with one hand. Naturally, he could not understand it.

But he had no time to think, as Chen Zheng's large hand was about to grab him.

"You lowly ant, how dare you blaspheme against my majesty? Your crime is unforgivable! I will show you my self-created ultimate killing technique, the Heavenly King Dragon Slayer! You will die by this move, which is something to be proud of."

The Sea Emperor roared, and layers of sword energy rippled from the lost sword in his hand. He unleashed a powerful sword technique, full of boundless killing intent. The sword light was as thin as a spider's thread, covering the sky and striking towards Chen Zheng's large hand.

"What a load of bull! It's not even worth the trash."

Chen Zheng smiled contemptuously, not even glancing at the Sea Emperor. His large hand moved with unstoppable force, sweeping away all sword light with overwhelming force. He grabbed the Sea Emperor by the neck, pulled him into his hand, and returned to the summit of Righteousness Peak in Linglong Blessed Land.

"You dare to capture me? I am a being who lives as long as heaven and earth. With a single thought, I can overturn ten thousand continents. Even the Heavenly Court fears me..." the Sea Emperor roared.

Snapped!
Chen Zheng slapped Haihuang across the face, knocking his head to the side.

“You ant…”

The Sea Emperor was furious. He, a supreme immortal emperor, had been slapped in the face by someone fifteen major realms lower than him. It was an utter disgrace.

Snapped!
Another slap.

"You ant, you deserve to die..."

Snapped!
After a series of slaps, the Sea King's face was bruised and battered. He finally quieted down and stopped talking, staring at Chen Zheng with hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to etch his face into the depths of his soul so that he could take revenge in the future.

"Want revenge? Once I reach the Immortal Realm, it will be the day your true form dies."

Chen Zheng smiled coldly, and true fire surged from his hand, refining the Sea Emperor.

Boom!

He reached out and grabbed the Guicang Continent, which was far away in the Northern Ocean, along with a giant tree growing below it.

This tree is hundreds of thousands of feet tall, growing in the sea. Its roots penetrate into the void, and countless branches and leaves sway like dragons, absorbing the mysterious black energy from the sea eye.

This tree is called the Immortal Tea Tree, equivalent to an eighth-level Longevity Realm expert. It was left behind by an ancient expert and can communicate with the power of the Sea Eye. It is considered one of the trump cards of Wan Gui Immortal Island.

As soon as Chen Zheng pulled the tree out, an old man's face appeared on the trunk. It was ferocious and roared angrily. Its branches and leaves were like black dragons, baring their fangs and claws, trying to strangle Chen Zheng.

But it was of no use; it was instantly suppressed by Chen Zheng, compressed into a sapling, and planted at the foot of Zhengqi Peak.

The Guicang Continent shrank continuously in Chen Zheng's palm, turning into a small island the size of a palm. With a casual toss, he threw it into the sky, where it flew into the Hunyuan Wuji Diagram floating in the sky and landed in the hands of Jialan, who was absorbing pure Yang energy to cultivate inside.

Indeed, the Primordial Chaos Diagram is now the sect's most prized artifact, constantly drawing upon a massive amount of pure Yang energy for the sect.

Not only was Jialan cultivating inside the diagram, but also Linglong Immortal Venerable, who had just obtained the Limitless Relic, as well as Chiyuan Demon Venerable, Xinmo Elder, Yunyun and her daughter, and everyone from the Qunxing Sect who had merged into this sect, were all cultivating with all their might inside.

"Since Jialan has obtained a top-grade Dao artifact, Yan Shuiyi should not be left behind. Let's give her the Blood Pool of Purgatory from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect."

Chen Zheng muttered to himself, then stretched out his palm once more, piercing through layers of space and time, and plunged straight in. The next moment, he retrieved a massive pool of blood, its surface brimming with blood energy and overflowing with blood, all of it the blood of living beings, a terrifying crimson.

This blood pool is the supreme artifact of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, named the Purgatory Blood Pool. It is also the foundation for the sect's members to improve their cultivation. As long as they capture living beings and integrate their blood into the blood pool to transform it into blood pills, the members of the Blood Shadow Demon Sect can consume the blood pills to improve their cultivation.

For many years, the Blood Shadow Demon Sect has slaughtered countless beings on countless stars to refine blood pills, and their crimes are too numerous to count.

Today is their doomsday.

"what!"

"Spare my life..."

Above the Blood Pool of Purgatory, blood shadows darted about, screaming in terror. These were all powerful figures from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect, including Supreme Elders, Founder-level figures, and the Sect Master, Blood Shadow Emperor.

This great emperor had a formidable reputation in the Xuanhuang Great World, and had instilled fear in countless cultivators throughout the ages. However, he was pitifully weak in front of Chen Zheng, like a sick cat that had lost its claws and teeth. He begged for mercy, but to no avail. Chen Zheng blew him out with a single breath, annihilating him along with everyone from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect.

The Blood Pool of Purgatory was thrown into the Primordial Chaos Diagram by Chen Zheng and landed in Yan Shui's hands.

After doing all this, Chen Zheng looked in the direction of Taiyi Sect. Seeing that there seemed to be no movement there, he took a step and disappeared on Zhengqi Peak, his whereabouts unknown.

…………

The Great World of Cultivation.

Oh oh oh!
Suddenly, a series of long horn calls resounded throughout the various treasure-refining workshops of the Treasure Dividing Rock. One call after another seemed to represent glory, making the blood of countless treasure refiners who were working hard to refine magical treasures boil.

"Is Miss Mi Bao finally going to inspect our various treasure-refining workshops? It is said that she is not only stunningly beautiful, but also a disciple of the Supreme Nine Heavens, and has already achieved the status of a Void Immortal. This time, she has received a message from the Treasure Master to return and inherit the Treasure Distribution Rock."

"Even in our cultivation world, a Void Immortal is a hegemon-level existence. If I can win her favor when I present the gift later, I'll be set for life! It would be even better if I could get to kiss her!"

"The young master of Tianya Haige has been pursuing Miss Mi Bao for many years, but has been repeatedly rejected. You, a toad, dare to dream of eating swan meat? Stop fantasizing and hurry to the Treasure Offering Hall to present your gift to the young lady."

"Sigh, I'm just a four-star treasure refiner, I don't even have the qualifications to present a gift to Miss Mi Bao..."

The treasure refining workshop was in an uproar. High-level treasure refiners, looking excited, left their respective workshops and rushed towards the direction from which the horn sounded.

Chen Zheng's clone did the same, quickly passing through spatial nodes and arriving at a magnificent hall.

This is the so-called Treasure Offering Hall, where many treasure refiners have gathered, all eagerly awaiting the appearance of Miss Mi Bao, hoping to present their painstakingly crafted magical treasures and win her favor.

Without showing any emotion, Chen Zheng went to a corner of the main hall and asked a burly, bearded man via telepathy, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, how is the situation?"

This burly man was none other than Yuan Potian, the vice leader of the Zuma Cult, who, like him, had infiltrated the Treasure Sharing Rock to search for the source of all evil.

“Young Master Chen, I have thoroughly investigated these past few days and found the exact location of the source of all evil. It is in a mysterious world deep within the Treasure Dividing Rock.” The bearded man transmitted his voice in the same calm manner.

Chen Zheng was overjoyed and promised, "Once the treasure presentation process is over, you will immediately take me to infiltrate that world. As long as I obtain the source of all evil, I will elevate you from the peak of the Chaos Realm to a True Immortal."

"Thank you, Young Master Chen!" The burly man with the thick beard was overjoyed and had no doubt about Chen Zheng's words.

He had personally witnessed Chen Zheng's extraordinary abilities back in the Zuma World.

hum!
As the two were talking, spatial rifts suddenly appeared in the sky above the main hall, sprinkling down flowers formed from pure yang energy.

The palace was filled with a dazzling array of colorful flowers.

Amidst a shower of petals, a magnificent ship appeared out of thin air, resembling the grand vessel of an ancient ancestral god, incomparably majestic.

Countless smaller ships flew out from the large ship, each filled with cultivators at the Undying Realm. They held conch shells, drums, horns, and other magical instruments, playing them in unison to create a loud and clear sound.

Boundless glory, boundless brilliance, and endless hymns all point to one person: a young girl standing atop the ship.

This woman was not particularly tall, but her aura was extraordinary, as was her appearance. Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes like autumn water, and behind her, a series of holy halos slowly rotated, making her seem awe-inspiring and unapproachable.

She is Miss Mi Bao.

The eyes of the many alchemists below changed upon seeing her; they burned with intense fervor, as if gazing upon a goddess.

Just then, a burly man emerged from the top deck of the ship above. He was five zhang tall and had the head of a bull; he was none other than the ancient divine beast "Jiang Ang".

"quiet!"

Jiang Ang roared, his voice shaking the surroundings and silencing all other noises until you could hear a pin drop.

"All you treasure refiners, please proceed to the Myriad Treasures Ship according to your star rating and present your gifts to the young lady. During this time, you must not make a sound or argue." The voice of the divine beast Jiang Ang, filled with the power of the world, resonated in everyone's hearts.

Swish swish!
Many treasure refiners quickly leaped up and landed one after another on the top deck of the treasure ship.

Chen Zheng also arrived here, standing at the very back of the group of treasure refiners with the burly man with the bushy beard. He glanced at Miss Mi Bao before looking away and waiting for the process to end.

"Young Miss, this is the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix Hairpin, painstakingly crafted by me over seven hundred years in the secret treasure-refining factory using countless rare materials. Once worn, it will surely outshine all others..."

"Miss..."

One after another, the magic refiners stepped forward to present their magical treasures to Miss Mi Bao. Each one was more obsequious than the last, uttering all sorts of flattering words, which Chen Zheng found almost tiresome.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

His brows gradually wrinkled.

There were over 100,000 five-, six-, and seven-star treasure refiners in the arena, and each of them chattered away as they presented their treasures, so many that it would take three days and three nights to finish.

What a waste of time.

Can't wait any longer.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, please come up with me."

Chen Zheng transmitted a message to Yuan Potian, then pushed through the crowd to the front to offer their magic treasures to Mi Bao first.

Then go find the source of all evil.

Just then, a handsome young man with a red ribbon tied in his hair and a resolute gaze blocked his and the burly man with the thick beard's path. (End of Chapter)
