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

Rumble!
Chen Zheng's palm surged with boundless calamity energy, like a great river flowing eastward, rushing a thousand miles, overwhelming and sweeping towards Yin Qing Ancestor.

"What a quick-witted young man!"

Yin Qing Lao Zu's wrinkled face twitched violently. She never expected Chen Zheng to be so fierce. Instead of begging for mercy when surrounded, he mocked her for her ugly appearance.

They even launched their own offensive.

What alarmed her most was that Chen Zheng's attack this time was even more intense than when he defeated the Sky-Supporting Ancestor, as if his strength had increased again.

The rolling black waves of tribulation surged higher and higher, one wave after another, relentlessly crashing down, giving her a terrifying illusion that the laws governing her internal energy were in chaos.

This is clearly a sign of impending demonic possession.

She dared not be negligent and hurriedly retreated to avoid the oncoming tribulation energy. She also forcibly gathered her internal energy and regulated her magic power, as if she were controlling a flood, trying to bring the floodwaters in her body back to the right path. Otherwise, if her magic power went berserk and the major laws ran rampant, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At the same time, she stretched out a withered hand that looked like a chicken claw and threw it forward, sending a small, golden gourd flying.

This was the Rebirth Immortal Gourd that Zu Qingting had possessed before. She had taken it away at some point, and now that she was using it, it could suppress the calamity energy.

hum!
The Rebirth Immortal Gourd trembled, and boundless mysterious light shone brightly on its body. The mouth of the gourd emitted a terrifying suction force, like a black hole that swallowed the sky and the earth, engulfing all the calamity energy in the sky.

Peace returned to heaven and earth.

"Boy, I knew you'd use this trick, so I specially prepared this Rebirth Immortal Gourd for you. Now let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve." Ancestor Yin Qing grabbed the Rebirth Immortal Gourd, which landed in his hand, his eyes full of smugness.

"Senior Sister Yin Qing is indeed incredibly resourceful." Ancestor Zi Yang's spirits lifted, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was initially very wary of Chen Zheng's Endless Calamity Wave, worried that he would suffer the same fate as the previous Ancestor Qingtian, being struck by Chen Zheng and losing the power to resist. That's why he hesitated when Ancestor Yinqing suggested attacking Chen Zheng. It was only after the arrival of the Four Ghosts of Tianya that he finally decided to take the plunge.

But I still have some concerns.

Now that he saw Yin Qing Patriarch break Chen Zheng's supernatural power in the blink of an eye, his last bit of concern finally disappeared.

"Fellow Daoist Yin Qing has quite the methods." A blue-faced ghost looked at the gourd in the hand of Ancestor Yin Qing and praised him.

The Four Ghosts of the End of the World are the Green-Faced Ghost, the Green-Faced Ghost, the Black-Faced Ghost, and the White-Faced Ghost.

“This kid is no longer a threat; he’s just a fish on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered, and he can only obediently be divided and eaten by us.” The green-faced ghost glanced mockingly at Chen Zheng in the encirclement, then his gaze fell on the Yin Qing Ancestor: “Now that we have trapped this fiend, how to divide the fish meat still needs to be discussed in detail.”

Upon hearing this, the other four ghosts of the world all revealed ill intentions.

When they received the message from the Yin Qing Ancestor at Tianya Sect, they already knew what had happened today and were even more aware of Chen Zheng's extraordinary abilities. They were shocked and their greed grew, so they rushed over together to avenge the people of Tianya Sect and, more importantly, to divide up the great secret that Chen Zheng possessed.

Yin Qing Patriarch's smugness vanished, replaced by displeasure. "Four friends of the world, when I sent you a message before, we had already agreed that I would interrogate this kid to uncover his great secret of killing enemies across eight major realms, and then we would share this secret together. What do you mean by this? Are you trying to break the agreement at the last minute?"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch Ziyang looked warily at the Four Ghosts of the Ends of the Earth, as if afraid that they would suddenly attack and snatch Chen Zheng, this fat fish, away for themselves.

"No, no, we must indeed share Chen Zheng's secrets, there's no doubt about that." The white-faced ghost nodded with a smile at first, but then his eyes turned sinister: "Our Tianya Sect was born in accordance with the will of the Immortal Realm. It has been more than three million years since its founding. This is the first time that so many of our high-ranking members have been murdered, even our sect leader is dead. How can such a disgrace be washed away by a secret on Chen Zheng's body?"

"Chen Zheng deserves to die a thousand deaths! Only his blood and soul can wash away the shame of my Tianya Sect!" The black-faced ghost's face twisted into a ferocious expression. "Therefore, Chen Zheng must be handed over to our Tianya Sect, where we, the Four Immortals of Tianya, will torture him with cruel methods!"

"How could we hand over this brat Chen Zheng to you?" The Yin Qing Patriarch's face was even more unsightly than if he had swallowed a fly. He roared, "My Supreme Nine Pure Heaven has suffered far greater losses than your Tianya Sect. You have only lost your sect leader, but I have lost my patriarch. If I am not allowed to deal with this brat, how can Qingtian rest in peace in the afterlife?"

"So what if he's an ancestor? He only has one life. Is that worth more than the lives of more than ten people from my Tianya Sect?"

“Yin Qing, let me make this clear: this kid must be handed over to the Four Immortals, or we won’t hesitate to fight you. Don’t forget that your Supreme Nine Heavens only has three immortals left, and there’s also the White Cloud Ancestor who isn’t on your side. If you fight, you’re no match for us.”

"You four devils of the world, don't push your luck..."

The situation on the field developed in a strange direction. Yin Qing Lao Zu actually started vying with the Four Ghosts of Tianya for control of Chen Zheng. The dispute intensified, and it seemed that they would fight at the slightest disagreement.

Come to think of it, Chen Zheng's secret is too astonishing. Whoever obtains this secret can soar to great heights and even become a king in the immortal realm.

Each of them harbored their own ulterior motives, and under the temptation of such a great secret, they could hardly conceal their insatiable greed. Their so-called alliance was simply unreliable.

Even if things get to a certain point, the two fellow disciples, Ancestor Yin Qing and Ancestor Zi Yang, might not necessarily turn against each other.

The six people were arguing fiercely.

Chen Zheng sneered silently, having already unleashed the True Demon Tribulation Wave Illusionary Divine Path. He moved with the residual tribulation energy that had been released earlier but not completely absorbed by the Rebirth Immortal Gourd, disappearing silently and without a trace into the encirclement of the six people.

"not good!"

The moment Chen Zheng disappeared, Yin Qing Lao Zu noticed something amiss, especially a sudden surge of fear in his heart, as if his Dao heart was clouded and the shadow of death was looming over him.

She was terrified, realizing that Chen Zheng had probably launched an attack on her from somewhere, and hurriedly tried to use the Great Protective Technique from the Three Thousand Great Daos to protect herself.

But at that moment, the Rebirth Gourd in her hand suddenly trembled violently, as if some terrifying monster inside was about to burst out.

Boom!

The Rebirth Immortal Gourd exploded, and the extremely dense tribulation energy surged out like a tide, enveloping her entire body. Like countless fine needles, it drilled into her body through her skin, densely packed and incredibly fast.

"what……"

A piercing scream tore through the sky, like the mournful cry of an owl, sending chills down the spines of all who heard it.

It is the Yin Qing Ancestor.

Streams of blood shot out from the numerous holes in her body, shooting in all directions and staining the universe red.

She was like a human anthill, leaking air from head to toe.

In particular, the magical power, laws, and inner universe within her body were all out of control and ran wildly under the influence of the calamity energy, making it impossible for her to resist.

It was absolutely appalling.

But what happened next was even worse.

Chen Zheng appeared behind her without her noticing, his five fingers inserted into the top of her head, burning her with true fire and turning her into a torch.

"I was wrong, please don't kill me..." The raging firelight illuminated the old face of Yin Qing, which was full of pleading, as she cried out.

She is a deity with a lifespan of tens of millions of years. Even with the time spent in seclusion accelerated by time, she has only lived for less than three million years. She still has a long life ahead of her, so naturally she is unwilling to be killed.

She truly realized her mistake and felt immense remorse, hating herself for being blinded by greed.

"Everyone says this nonsense to me before they die, and I'm already tired of hearing it."

Chen Zheng, with a cold expression, intensified the fire, causing Yin Qing Lao Zu's vital energy to drain wildly, flowing into his body through his five fingers and enhancing his magical power.

In the blink of an eye, the woman's body completely withered away, turning into a human skin amidst regret and resentment.

"This... Yin Qing was killed by his sneak attack!"

"Damn it, this kid is too insidious. He deliberately let Yin Qing absorb the energy in that supernatural power, and then suddenly unleashed it, killing Yin Qing in one fell swoop."

"We have now lost a major fighting force!"

Seeing this swift and tragic scene, the Purple Sun Ancestor and the Four Ghosts of the End of the World were both shocked and furious. Out of fear, they retreated repeatedly, seemingly afraid that Chen Zheng would do the same to them.

None of them expected that Chen Zheng, whom they had regarded as easy prey, would suddenly break out of the encirclement and kill Yin Qing Patriarch in one move.

"Hey, why did you have to provoke him when you were perfectly fine? Why did you have to go and provoke him..."

Inside the Temple of Origin, when Baiyun Ancestor saw Yinqing Ancestor outside die tragically at Chen Zheng's hands in an instant, whether from shock or exhaustion, he slumped into a chair, looking decades older in an instant.

Behind them, the many high-ranking officials, including Dongling Fei, who had been taken into the Origin Temple to prevent them from being killed by the aftershocks of the battle between the outsiders, were filled with horror and none of them could utter a word.

Logically speaking, they should feel angry and ashamed that the high-ranking members of the Supreme Nine Heavens have been killed by Chen Zheng one after another, and that two of their immortal ancestors have died.

But faced with a terrifying figure like Chen Zheng, they couldn't muster any anger; they were filled only with fear and bewilderment.

Silence fell over everyone.

outside world.

After Chen Zheng put Yin Qing Lao Zu's skin into his sleeve, his eyes flickered and fell on Zi Yang Lao Zu. He walked step by step toward the man, looking down at him coldly as if he were a pig or a dog.

"Four friends of the world, we can no longer let this brat defeat us one by one. We must use our strongest methods to finish this quickly!" Seeing Chen Zheng heading towards him, the Purple Sun Ancestor felt a sense of foreboding and roared through gritted teeth.

"Kill! Surround and attack this brat! I refuse to believe that even if the five of us immortals join forces, we can't make him bleed!" "Boy, you have every right to be proud of your defeat by my Heavenly Horizon Mystic Art!"

"The Supreme Saint's Great Completion Fist!"

The Four Ghosts of the Ends of the Earth immediately roared, their killing intent shaking the world, and they all unleashed their respective killing skills to launch a final, deadly attack on Chen Zheng.

Each of the four was significantly stronger than Dou Zhan. Having spent half their lives immersed in the realm of immortals, they could be considered veterans of this realm. With a single move, they could cause the heavens and earth to wail and the stars to tremble, and space and time to collapse, as if they were destroying the world. The aftershocks were enough to shake the universe several times over.

Ancestor Ziyang also made his move. With a flick of his body, he split into nine shadows that were exactly like himself. Each shadow was a supreme being, with an aura that covered the universe, and they attacked Chen Zheng from all directions.

This is the Great Immortal Technique of One Qi Nine Purities, composed of dozens of Great Daos such as the Great Incarnation Technique and the Great Puppet Technique. It is extremely profound and has a great reputation in the Immortal Realm.

Boom boom boom!
In an instant, the fierce attack of the five masters overwhelmed Chen Zheng, and also annihilated all the ancient divine mountains, hundreds of millions of disciples and living beings in the Supreme Nine Pure Heavens. Even space and the universe disappeared, and the world was in chaos, with only the Origin Temple still swaying in the vast chaos.

Is he dead?

"Did we turn him to ashes? Hmph, I knew he couldn't withstand our combined attack!"

"It's a pity about the secret he held..."

The Purple Sun Ancestor and the Four Ghosts of the End of the World looked at the spot where Chen Zheng had stood, feeling both pleased and regretful.

suddenly!

The vast chaos dissipated.

A figure appeared.

That was Chen Zheng, a man of imposing stature, his robes intact, and even the expression on his face remained unchanged, always terrifyingly cold, like a king of heaven resurrected from the mythical era.

"you you you!"

The Four Ghosts of Tianya and the Old Ancestor Ziyang stared wide-eyed, frozen in place.

How can it be!

Their combined attack failed to even tear the hem of Chen Zheng's clothes. Why was that?

What kind of strength is this?
The previous Chen Zheng wasn't this strong at all!

Could it be that after Chen Zheng refined Yin Qing Ancestor, his strength increased to another level, completely surpassing all of them?

This is indeed the case.

It should be noted that the battles between the powerful beings in the Immortal Realm are completely different from those in the early stages.

For example, if dozens or even hundreds of cultivators at the seventh level of supernatural powers joined forces in the early stages, they would be able to besiege and kill a cultivator at the eighth level of supernatural powers.

However, once you reach the Longevity Realm, especially after cultivators comprehend the laws, the advantage of numbers will become increasingly smaller.

Once you reach the immortal realm, sieges become even less effective.

Legend has it that some peerless powerhouses in the immortal realm can blow away countless immortals of the same realm who have shattered the Great World into dust with a single breath.

A siege would be meaningless to such beings.

Because a slight advantage in strength can easily lead to overwhelming force, just like ten thousand tigers attacking a tiger with the strength of ten thousand tigers, it is simply impossible to succeed.

Let alone the power of ten thousand tigers, even the power of ten tigers would not be afraid of an attack by ten thousand tigers.

The battles in the Immortal Realm follow this principle.

Unless you understand a powerful formation and use it in conjunction with others to unite everyone's strength into one, an attack can only be effective.

However, the Four Ghosts of Tianya and the Old Ancestor Ziyang do not know that kind of grand formation. Even if they did, they would be easily defeated one by one by Chen Zheng.

After all, the great formation is not omnipotent and does not have the ability to "combine".

Closer to home.

The five immortals were terrified and, in their fear, completely abandoned their attack on Chen Zheng, retreating hastily.

Especially the Four Ghosts of the End of the World, who in the blink of an eye had escaped the battlefield and fled to who knows where.

"You will all die."

Chen Zheng sneered, stepped into the chaos, reached out his hands and grabbed the blue-faced ghost and the green-faced ghost, his arms piercing through endless light-years.

They then set fire to the two men and burned them.

"Do not……"

"Chen Zheng, we have powerful connections in the Immortal Realm. Leave some room for maneuver, so we can meet again in the future..."

The two screamed and struggled, kicking their limbs wildly in an attempt to save their lives, but were burned to death in an instant.

"Ah..."

Chen Zheng reached out again, and two more screams rang out; the other two ghosts also died.

Only the Old Ancestor Ziyang, drenched in cold sweat, remained, frantically fleeing towards the distant Temple of Origin.

In his fear, he was also filled with boundless regret, regretting why he had listened to the nonsense of Yin Qing Lao Zu and jumped out to deal with Chen Zheng.

Now things are really bad. Forget about getting the big secret from Chen Zheng, he's almost at risk of losing his life.

One wrong step, and there's no going back.

escape!
We must enter the depths of the Origin Temple as soon as possible and use the talisman in the Ancestral Master's Shrine to communicate with the Supreme Nine Heavens of the Immortal Realm, asking the people of the Immortal Realm to manifest strange phenomena from afar to intimidate Chen Zheng. Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope.

But then, something unexpected happened that filled him with anger and despair.

Just as he arrived at the entrance to the Temple of Origin and was about to rush inside, the previously open door suddenly slammed shut, blocking him outside.

"Open the door, Senior Brother Baiyun, open the door! I am your junior brother. Back then, we became disciples of Master together, fighting demons and going on adventures together, sharing joys and sorrows until now. When Master passed away, he entrusted you with taking care of me. Have you forgotten all of this?"

Ancestor Ziyang was stunned, then shouted at Ancestor Baiyun in the Origin Temple and frantically pounded on the door.

No matter how he bombarded it, the gate remained unmoved, because not only was there the White Cloud Ancestor inside, but also a great array protecting the Origin Temple, which was enough to withstand him.

"You treacherous Baiyun, I curse you to a terrible death..."

The Purple Sun Ancestor was grabbed by Chen Zheng, who reached out to him. Before dying, he roared in the firelight, his hatred for the White Cloud Ancestor surpassing that for anyone else, feeling that this so-called close relative had killed him.

Then he transformed into a human skin, which Chen Zheng collected.

"We have never offended Immortal Venerable Chen, nor do we have any intention of revenge. Immortal Venerable, could you please show mercy and spare our lives?"

After the death of Ancestor Ziyang, the door of the Origin Temple suddenly swung open. At the threshold, Ancestor Baiyun, his face full of bitterness, kowtowed and begged in the direction of Chen Zheng.

"We beg the Immortal Lord to show mercy and spare our lives."

Dongling Fei and other high-ranking officials of the Supreme Nine Pure Heavens, including Zu Qingting who had been injured by Yin Qing Ancestor, all knelt behind Baiyun Ancestor, begging for mercy in fear.

Standing to one side of the kneeling crowd was a stunningly beautiful woman who seemed bewildered, unaware of what had happened, yet astonished to see her ancestor, sect leader, master, and others kneeling before Chen Zheng.

This woman is none other than Miss Mi Bao.

"That's all."

Chen Zheng glanced at Miss Mi Bao and, seeing that she was unharmed, beckoned her to his side and disappeared with her.

He generally won't kill someone who voluntarily kneels down and begs for mercy.

"We survived..."

Only after Chen Zheng left did the White Cloud Ancestor dare to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Consort Dongling and the others collapsed, as if they had completely given up. (End of Chapter)
