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

A young man, resembling a golden god, descended upon the universe where Prince Makino resided.

Like Young Master Muye, the young man was accompanied by four celestial beings on his left and right, making a grand entrance and clearly indicating his extraordinary background.

"Hmm? It's you. You actually came to the Xuanhuang Great World, intending to plunder the treasures within the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion?"

Young Master Muye, who was about to head to the Linglong Blessed Land to devour Chen Zheng, paused, his eyes flashing with cold light, looking at the Golden God Youth as if he were looking at an unparalleled enemy.

As is widely known, among the three thousand great worlds, the Central Great World ranks first, ruled by the Muye family, the bloodline of the Celestial War King Tianjun left behind in the mortal realm.

The clan leader is the Central Emperor, whose cultivation is astonishing and who is a deity.

They weren't even ordinary deities.

The second-ranked Great World is called the Heavenly King Great World, where the Li family is the most respected. The head of the family is Li Tianwang, who also cultivated to the realm of immortals countless years ago.

The golden-haired celestial youth who appeared at this moment was Li Tianwang's most outstanding son, named Li Zha. His cultivation was no weaker than that of Young Master Muye, and he was also at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm.

"If you, Mu Ye, can come to the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion to search for treasures, why can't I?" Li Zha stared directly at Young Master Mu Ye, his eyes blazing with boundless fighting spirit. "After the Great Calamity of the Divine Race, my father will ascend to the Immortal Realm, and at that time I will be the new Lord of the Heavenly King Great World. And you, as the successor of the next patriarch of the Mu Ye family, will also become the Lord of the Central Great World. Why don't we have a contest now and see whose Great World is truly number one?"

"Compete with me?" Young Master Muye sneered, "What qualifications do you have to compete with me? The strength of my Central Great World is many times greater than that of your Heavenly King Great World."

Li Zha's expression was arrogant: "If the Central Emperor ascends to the Immortal Realm and you inherit the position of clan leader, the Central Great World may decline like the Xuanhuang Great World, allowing my Heavenly King Great World to occupy the first position. Because you, Mu Yeyuan, are too arrogant, which makes you blind. When you are defeated, you will be devastated and become mediocre."

"Haha!" Young Master Muye laughed arrogantly, his voice shaking the heavens and the earth: "In these three thousand great worlds and the infinite universe, who can defeat me? Could it be you? Don't be delusional, I'm more likely to defeat you."

He was well aware of Li Zha's strength, which was unmatched among celestial immortals, but he was still slightly inferior to him.

If the two sides were to clash and reveal all their cards, the outcome would likely be 30/70, with Li Zha winning 30% and Li Zha 70%.

"Is that so?" Li Zha's fighting spirit intensified, as if he wanted to fight Young Master Muye immediately, but he restrained his fighting spirit and revealed a smile: "Then how about we make a bet and decide the winner with a wager?"

Young Master Muye glanced at him disdainfully: "I'm open to any kind of bet, so tell me."

Instead of answering, Li Zha asked, "Do you know that a peerless talent has recently emerged in the Xuanhuang Great World?"

Young Master Muye said impatiently, "The extraordinary talent you're talking about isn't Chen Zheng, is it? That boy is indeed quite capable, able to defeat Taihuangtian. Is the bet you mentioned related to him?"

Li Zha exclaimed in surprise, "You are indeed well-informed. Indeed, the bet I want to make with you is to see who captures and kills Chen Zheng first. The stakes are that the loser must bow to the winner whenever they see him in the future, plus ten top-grade Dao artifacts that have survived the tribulation of lightning, and one immortal artifact."

"You actually want to use a celestial artifact as a wager?" Young Master Muye was slightly surprised.

"Are you scared? If that's all the courage you have, then forget about the bet. From now on, don't call yourself the number one genius in the Central Great World. Just call yourself the number one tortoise." Li Zha raised his head.

"You think I'm afraid?" Young Master Muye's black hair moved without wind, revealing his arrogance: "What a joke. Although immortal artifacts are rare, they're nothing special to me. It's not that I can't afford to gamble. I agree to your bet, but I'll add one more clause to the wager."

"Add what?" Li Zha was taken aback. Wasn't betting ten top-grade Dao artifacts and one immortal artifact enough? Why did he have to add more?

Young Master Mu Ye suddenly said, "Whoever loses will not only have to offer up a celestial artifact, but also cripple their cultivation and sever all the laws governing their body! Do you dare to make this bet or not?"

"To cripple one's cultivation and sever the laws?" Li Zha was shocked. Clearly, the stakes were too heavy for him to bear.

Not only him, but also the four celestial beings on either side of him, as well as the four celestial beings beside Young Master Muye, all changed color, looking as if they wanted to say something but hesitated. However, due to the noble status and terrifying strength of the two, none of them dared to speak up to dissuade them.

Seeing Li Zha remain silent, Young Master Muye sneered, "You dare not? In that case, get lost!"

Li Zha took a deep breath and said, "You truly deserve to possess the bloodline of the Celestial War King, Heavenly Monarch, with some kind of mad gene flowing through your veins. However, I agree."

Young Master Makino laughed heartily: "Good! That's more like the kind of opponent I should have."

"Let's go, let's leave Taiyuan Immortal Mansion now and head to Linglong Blessed Land to hunt down Chen Zheng!" he called out to the four people on his left and right.

"Then let's see who the real high-end hunter is!" Li Zha clenched his fists heavily, unwilling to be outdone.

A high-stakes gamble has begun.

Both men were full of confidence and displayed their unique abilities, each leading their subordinates to travel through various universes with all their might, believing that they would definitely be able to take down Chen Zheng first.

As for Chen Zheng himself, not only the two of them, but even none of the accompanying celestial beings cared about him.

Even if a mere native of Xuanhuang possesses extraordinary power, he cannot overturn the heavens. As soon as the two young masters arrive at Linglong Blessed Land, Chen Zheng is doomed.

The only difference is who kills them.

Unbeknownst to them, Chen Zheng had already noticed their every move and they were placed on the death list.

…………

"Taiyuan Immortal Mansion is indeed extraordinary, as it actually stores the primordial energy that only existed in ancient times."

Outside a treasure vault, Chen Zheng's face lit up with joy. He grabbed out a cloud-like mass of energy with his large hand.

The clouds gather but do not disperse, dense and gentle, as if they came from a wisp of air born before the creation of heaven and earth, the purest, most ancient, and most vibrant air, belonging to the source of all things.

This is the legendary Primordial Qi, which is countless times more advanced than Pure Yang Qi, surpassing all other Qi, and is one of the necessary conditions for a True Immortal to advance to a Celestial Immortal.

It is extremely difficult for a true immortal to cultivate into a celestial immortal. It is a process of essential transformation of life that takes a very long time and requires the manipulation of the laws of life and death to completely transform flesh and bones into immortality.

Furthermore, the magical power within a True Immortal's body must be transformed into Primordial True Qi. To achieve perfection in this step, one must possess the Primordial Qi in Chen Zheng's possession.

"Not bad, my magic power has increased quite a bit."

Chen Zheng unleashed the "Refining" True Fire to envelop the primordial energy.

In the blink of an eye, he refined the energy.

His magical power surged, increasing from the power of five celestial beings to that of six.

Comfortable.

It's time to get some exercise.

Swish!
He created fourteen clones that overlapped with his main body, bringing his magical power to the level of ninety celestial beings.

Then he raised his right hand straight up, pointing to the sky and stomping on the ground, like an unparalleled heavenly sword slashing forward.

With a whoosh, the boundless spacetime was cleaved open by his single hand like a tattered sack, creating a dark rift that stretched for countless billions of light-years, extending straight into the outer universe and continuing to extend forward at an astonishing speed.

Extend, and extend again.

In the blink of an eye, one vast universe after another was pierced by the dark rift, like a string of candied hawthorns, reaching the rear of Li Zha and the others who were rushing out of the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion.

"who!"

Li Zha and the others noticed the commotion and quickly stopped. They looked back with surprise and doubt, and Chen Zheng came into view at the end of the dark rift. His figure was tall and imposing, like a demon or a god, and impossible to look directly at.

"So it was you, this piece of trash, who made a bet with Makinohara and threatened to hunt me down?" Chen Zheng remained calm and composed, advancing step by step through the dark rift, closing in on Li Zha.

"Are you Chen Zheng?"

Li Zha recognized Chen Zheng at a glance. He knew more about the other party than Young Master Mu Ye, having personally inquired about him in the Xuanhuang Great World before coming here.

However, Chen Zheng dared to call him a piece of trash, which made him feel insulted.

Especially the way Chen Zheng looked at him, it was like an eagle soaring in the sky looking down at a lowly crawling insect on the ground.

He was the strongest genius in the Second World. When he came to the Xuanhuang Great World, he had the mentality of an emperor inspecting the countryside, full of superiority. Who would have thought that he would be looked down upon by Chen Zheng, a native? It was simply outrageous.

Before he could retaliate, a celestial being beside him stepped forward with a cold look in his eyes, pointed at Chen Zheng's nose, and shouted, "Chen Zheng, we've all heard about your deeds. You defeated Taihuangtian and even killed those worthless Ascension Three Saints, but that's no reason for your arrogance. Let me tell you, we come from the Heavenly King Great World, the second-best of all heavens, and we are all supreme experts. In front of us, you are at most a small shrimp. I advise you to keep a low profile, kneel down and kowtow to Young Master Li to admit your mistakes, or you're doomed."

This celestial being wore a large black and gold cloak that shimmered with a dreamlike luster. On his thumb was a huge, ancient thumb ring, emerald green and crystal clear, as if he held supreme power. His aura was even three times stronger than that of the God of War. He was majestic and awe-inspiring, clearly holding an extremely high position in the Heavenly King Great World, and believed that he could manipulate Chen Zheng at will.

"Yes, Chen Zheng, you must kneel down immediately and apologize to Young Master Li, or no one in heaven or earth will be able to save you!"

"Hehe, we haven't even arrived at Linglong Blessed Land yet, and you've already delivered yourself to our doorstep. It seems that our Young Master Li is destined to win this bet against Mu Yeyuan and lead the Heavenly King Great World to become the number one in all realms."

The other three celestial beings stepped forward with their arms crossed, standing alongside the celestial being in the black and gold cloak, their faces full of mockery, as if they had Chen Zheng completely under their thumb.

But no sooner had the three finished speaking than a series of four loud bangs, like flesh being smashed flat, echoed in the air.

That's right, they were smashed flat. The bodies of the three, including the celestial being in the black and gold cloak, were all slapped into meat patties by Chen Zheng.

It was a meat pie made up of four people, meat sandwiched between meat, a bloody mess.

"Chen Zheng, how dare you lay a hand on me?"

"How could a mere native of Xuanhuang be so strong, capable of flattening four of us Celestial Immortals with a single palm strike..."

The four celestial beings roared in disbelief from within the meat pie, as they tried to separate their flesh from the others and return to human form.

Before they could even move their flesh, the meat pie was grabbed by Chen Zheng.

The raging fire emanating from his palm enveloped the meat pie, beginning to roast it.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..."

The Black Gold Cloaked Celestial and the others sensed impending death and were terrified. Gone was their previous imposing manner. They desperately begged Chen Zheng for mercy and tried to break free of their restraints by channeling their magic power.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain; the four men died instantly in the raging flames.

"Killing people is still the fastest way to increase your magical power."

Chen Zheng flipped his hand, absorbing the life essence of the four people into his body. He smacked his lips, as if he had tasted a sip of ginseng tea with an unforgettable aftertaste.

Having absorbed the power of these four celestial beings, he instantly reached the level of ten celestial beings.

It should be noted that since he advanced to the third level of immortality, the word "divide" has been able to divide into fifteen clones, making a total of sixteen when combined with his original body.

However, one of his clones is stationed within the Linglong Blessed Land to guard against any villains.

Therefore, he could only create fourteen clones, but now possessing the power of ten celestial beings is already extremely terrifying. After the word "merge" was added to his main body, he directly reached the terrifying power of one hundred and fifty celestial beings.

too strong!
It is no exaggeration to say that there is no celestial being in the entire universe who can rival him.

He could kill you with a single blow.

"He actually killed all the subordinates I brought from the Heavenly King Great World?" Li Zha was shocked by this scene, and a chill ran down his spine.

Just now, Chen Zheng slapped the four celestial immortals flat and refined and absorbed them right in front of him. His movements were incredibly fast, and he couldn't even react.

For someone at the peak of the Celestial Immortal realm like him, killing four Celestial Immortals would be as easy as eating and drinking, but it wouldn't be as fast as Chen Zheng.

That technique is far too skillful!

Furthermore, according to the information he had gathered, Chen Zheng was only capable of defeating Taihuangtian, so why was he so powerful?

This is far more than just defeating a true immortal; it's almost a terrifying existence comparable to a god.

Who exactly did he offend?
Can they really defeat their opponent?

If we can't defeat them...

Upon realizing this, Li Zha dared not think any further, fearing he would lose his fighting spirit and that he might really capsize in a ditch.

"King-Slaying Halberd, kill!"

Li Zha roared, donned golden armor, and a massive halberd appeared in his hand.

As soon as this halberd appeared, musical notes and streaks of multicolored light filled the world.

This was clearly a celestial artifact, even more powerful than the Primordial Chaos Diagram and the Ape Demon Chaos God Staff. The boundless celestial energy on it concealed boundless ferocity, and within that ferocity were the souls of countless demon gods, clearly indicating that it had slaughtered countless lives, leaving behind a trail of corpses and blood.

Boom!

Li Zha swung his halberd, as if splitting the heavens and earth. Strands of killing intent transformed into celestial trajectories, sweeping and charging towards Chen Zheng. Instantly, the aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood expanded, filling the universe and crowding the heavens and earth, causing the world to explode. Chen Zheng had nowhere to hide and could only take the blow head-on.
