From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

In this realm of immortality, time flows extremely slowly. In ancient times, there was even a saying that a moment in the realm of immortality was equivalent to ten thousand years in the Great Thousand World.

After Kong Cong entered this realm, he used the Sasa Tree, which was forged from many ancient cultivators' magical treasures, to prop open the heavens and earth, thus becoming immune to the seal of the Longevity True Qi.

He even absorbed the true energy of immortality for his own use, causing the Saha Tree and the fruit of immortality to grow continuously.

Over tens of thousands of years, his accumulation had reached an extremely profound level. No wonder he wanted to take this opportunity to break through the void and become an existence comparable to the ancient holy emperor.

However, Kong still lacked some understanding. Although he had a foundation, he did not understand the ultimate principle of shattering the vacuum, nor did he know the mystery of the ninety-nine orifices outside the body.

In Xu Xing and Xu Wuyi's view, his attempt to forcefully break through the barrier and create the remaining acupoints from scratch was not only as difficult as ascending to heaven, but there was even a 99% chance that he would explode and die on the spot.

However, the longevity fruit that is separated from the main body can be described as a rare treasure that is extremely rare throughout the ages. If an ordinary expert obtains it, its nourishing effect will be far superior to the divine sense of a Nine Tribulation Ghost Immortal.

According to legend, the Longevity Emperor was extremely skilled in alchemy. In Xu Xing's view, this method of refining the Longevity Fruit was quite similar to alchemy. Therefore, it can be concluded that this monkey had indeed received the true teachings of that number one person throughout the ages.

In fact, with the strength of Xu Wuyi and Xu Xing, seizing this Longevity Fruit would be as easy as flipping their palms.

However, rather than simply increasing their power, they wanted to see just how far this number one demon of all ages could go if his plan succeeded.

In this vast world today, perhaps only these two have the vision and ambition to create a powerful enemy that is not under their control and could potentially shatter the vacuum of existence.

After they finished speaking, the two of them did not hesitate at all. They worked together, releasing their true energy and pouring it into the Saha Tree without reservation.

In an instant, the entire world was filled with swirling winds and billowing clouds, the branches swaying and emitting layers of precious light, lush and verdant, extremely rich, like a vast blue ocean, endlessly churning.

The true energy that Xu Xing is now unleashing has completely detached itself from the intent of the Ge Ding Fist. It is merely a profound and abundant chaotic energy, containing the essence of the primordial beginnings, which is of great benefit to the "emptiness" aspect of cultivating the longevity technique.

Among them are the profound truths he gleaned from the immortal monument, as well as the improved "Longevity and Eternal Protection Mantra," which he now passes on to "Kong," a gesture of reciprocation.

Unlike Xu Xing, who had the idea of ​​teaching according to aptitude, Xu Wuyi simply poured all the techniques he had learned, including the most authentic boxing intent, into his fist in one go.

He didn't care how much he could comprehend about "emptiness".

After tens of thousands of years, the Saha Tree was only one step away from being fully mastered. Now, with the help of Xu Xing and Xu Wuyi, it took that step in one go.

Suddenly, the Longevity Fruit had grown to its limit, and the giant ape under the tree suddenly opened its eyes. Countless starlight burst forth from the pores of its body, the light resonating with the pulsating frequency of the Longevity Fruit, constantly flashing and absorbing the longevity true energy from the surrounding world!

Those are the acupoints of the human body. The Vajra Divine Ape clan, whose physical form is similar to that of humans, also has acupoints. However, although their blood and qi are abundant, they do not have enough acupoints.

Therefore, if "emptiness" wants to break through the limitations and shatter the vacuum in one fell swoop, it must, like a slow-moving person, carve out its own openings.

This step was the biggest hurdle for him, because the location of acupoints varies from person to person. Even with corresponding cultivation methods, finding them is extremely difficult, let alone opening them on one's own.

When Xu Xing first arrived in this world, he endured twenty years of arduous struggle to open his acupoints. Although his mental state was unclear and his foundation was insufficient, this also shows how difficult this step was.

But it was precisely because of Xu Xing's experience and his own method of measuring acupoints that he was able to open up the remaining acupoints with ease, which can be described as a natural and effortless process!

The giant ape demon god rose to his feet and chanted:

"Emptiness and longevity are like the sands of the Ganges, the heavens above are the realm of immortals, I am the ancestor of the vast universe, may eternal joy and long life be like the other shore flower!"

At this moment, "Kong" had no violent or malevolent aura whatsoever that belonged to a demon. Instead, he was peaceful and serene, as if he had truly shed his mortal form, cleansed himself of demonic energy, and attained immortality!
As soon as he finished speaking, the Longevity Fruit suddenly bloomed, transforming into an extremely beautiful and exquisite flower. This flower was blood red, yet extremely pure, as if it had been nourished by the essence and blood of a human immortal.

Kong Chang stood up, no longer sitting cross-legged under the tree, but reached out and gently picked up the "flower of immortality" in his hand. His expression was calm, even somewhat relieved, and he sighed deeply.
"I know the way to shatter the vacuum."

After letting out a sigh, he was not in a hurry to absorb the Flower of Immortality. Instead, he raised his head, looked at Xu Xing and Xu Wuyi, his gaze clear as water, sincere and earnest, and said:
"You two have come from afar to lend me a helping hand. Although I ask for nothing in return, I cannot fail to repay your kindness."

"With the Great Way before us, this flower is of no use to me. I will give it to you two as a way to fulfill this duty of spreading the Way."

As he spoke, the Saha Tree behind him shrank continuously, gradually matching his figure and becoming a backdrop that accentuated his otherworldly demeanor.

This ancient demon ape, after witnessing the ultimate Dao that shattered the void, became humble and polite in its tone. Its words and actions displayed the profound and majestic demeanor of a master, inspiring awe and admiration in all who beheld it.

This was especially true for the two demon clan descendants, the demon ape Ba and Bai Ziyue. Although "Kong" had a bad reputation in the ancient times, in their hearts he was an absolute hero, a true pillar of the nation!
Xu Xing smiled as well:
"To give birth without possessing, to act without relying on one's own power—if you can understand this principle, it means you are indeed not far from the ultimate truth, but..."

At this point, Xu Xing changed the subject, looking directly into Kong's eyes with a half-smile on his face, and asked again:
"This is clearly the way of Xu! When did Senior 'Kong' become a disciple of my Pingtian Sect?!"

Before the words were even finished, "Kong" had already made his move!

The demonic ape slightly bent its knees and vanished from its spot in an instant.

This is the true secret technique that "Kong" relied on to dominate the ancient times, and no one below the Yang God could control him—the Heavenly Leap, which means that in a single leap, he could break through the barrier between heaven and man, reaching everywhere and being omnipresent.

Although a Sixth Tribulation Ghost Immortal has the ability to tear through the void with divine sense, this place is a secret realm of immortality, where even the divine sense of a Ninth Tribulation Ghost Immortal is sealed, making even free thought a difficult problem.

But with this leap, he broke through countless layers of void obstacles and tore apart countless layers of immortal energy, and punched Xu Xing in front of him!
The demonic ape burst into loud laughter, its fangs protruding from its lips, its face ferocious and ugly, no longer concealing any semblance of sanctimoniousness, revealing the violent and ferocious nature of the number one demon of all time!

"To try and glimpse the secret of shattering the vacuum by referring to our ancestor is not as simple as it seems!"

After receiving the true energy from Xu Xing and Xu Wuyi, Kong understood their plan and was even more surprised by their terrifying power, which far surpassed that of ordinary Nine Tribulation Ghost Immortals.

Therefore, after achieving the breakthrough and understanding the secret of shattering the vacuum, Kong did not immediately launch an attack, but instead carefully disguised himself.

That otherworldly demeanor he just displayed was something he learned from his master, the Eternal Emperor, just to deceive Xu Xing and Xu Wuyi, making them waver and believe him for a moment, thus creating an opportunity for him to launch a sneak attack.

Given Kong's nature, he would never believe that these two were selfless and dedicated people; they must have other motives. Now that he has made another breakthrough, he might as well take this opportunity to test his methods.

This extraordinary skill, a feat unmatched by any human, is the greatest guarantee that "Void" can carry out a sneak attack.

He was certain that, apart from himself, there was no one else in the world who could tear through the void and travel within the Realm of Immortality.

Xu Xing already knew this fellow's temperament, so he wasn't surprised.

With a swift movement of his right hand, his five fingers, like hooks, each tip imbued with primordial energy, swirled into a vortex, like a chaotic void, and steadily caught Kong's punch.

Although Xu Xing's body remained still, the longevity energy within a hundred miles behind him surged violently and surged endlessly, forcibly revealing its form from a state of emptiness.

Given the level of refinement of the Longevity True Qi, the fact that a single punch could create such a powerful impact demonstrates just how formidable "Kong's" current strength has become, clearly achieving "a thousand transformations."

If this punch were placed in the outer reaches of the Milky Way, it would be just as powerful as Xu Yi's, capable of blasting a star apart. In terms of pure destructive power, it would even surpass Xu Yi's!

"Um?!"

Kong hadn't expected Xu Xing to react so quickly, nor had he anticipated that the opponent's technique of shifting and neutralizing force was so profound. He was immediately shaken and was about to use his Heavenly Leap to dodge.

The Longevity True Qi he cultivated was directly inherited from the True Qi in the Longevity Secret Realm. Fighting here, he had a clear home-field advantage, while his opponent would be suppressed. As long as he could prolong the battle, there was no reason for him not to win. However, just as Kong was getting into a fighting stance, Xu Xing moved, drawing a "Z" shape in the air, like a primordial dragon or snake swimming in the primordial chaos. Every move he made contained boundless true meaning, as if it were the very essence of the Dao.

—The movement technique of the Immortal God King?!
Kong's "Heavenly Man Leap" technique is indeed extraordinary, no less than the innate divine power of an immortal god king. However, divine powers of the same grade will have different effects when performed by different people.

Clearly, although Kong and Xu Xing are both in the realm of "ever-changing transformations," they also have decisive differences.

In the blink of an eye, Kong had just fled a thousand miles when Xu Xing caught up with him. He even felt that Kong, like himself, was gradually becoming comfortable in the Longevity True Qi.

However, it's still too slow!

"Kong" chose to retreat just now only because of the presence of Xu Wuyi. Although he had broken through to the realm of Thousand Transformations, he was only a thin membrane away from shattering the vacuum. He was not confident in facing two powerful figures of unknown strength at the same time.

But now that Xu Wuyi hasn't come after them, and Xu Xing has only ventured deep into enemy territory alone, he has provided Kong with an extremely rare one-on-one opportunity.

Since it was a one-on-one fight, this number one demon king of all ages, who had fought against ancient holy emperors and challenged Yang God level experts, naturally had no intention of backing down!
He suddenly turned around and was now facing Xu Xing. With his hands moving up and down, he used the Saha Tree to draw upon the life-giving energy of the vast land for his own use.

The giant ape's body swelled, growing to over a thousand feet in the blink of an eye. Every acupoint on its body was endlessly absorbing the true energy of longevity. The 480 million particles had almost grown stronger, reaching the limit of this body.

Two broad and solid hands, also incredibly powerful, came crashing down on Xu Xing, one above and one below, as if heaven and earth were merging and the universe were reopening, aiming to destroy all living beings within. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot escape!
This is Kong's other great secret technique besides the Heavenly Man Transcendence: the Great Millstone of Heaven and Earth!

Before these two ethereal "millstones," the immortal energy that filled every corner and had even gradually eroded the structure of the void, altering the natural order of the world, shattered with a deafening roar.

Then came the void, and more fundamental laws that were interdependent and mutually supportive. The once silent Realm of Longevity, which had existed for countless ages, was actually shattered by the bombardment of the void, creating a deep black hole spanning thousands of miles!

A deafening explosion resounded from the Nine-Layer Secret Realm, affecting the entire Nine Abyss Divine Domain. The Ancient Abyss and the Cambrian Abyss trembled violently, freezing the flow of time and space for a moment.

This strike was more than twice as powerful as the one launched by Kong. After absorbing the fist techniques of Xu Xing and Xu Wuyi, he felt his mind burning with inspiration, and new insights kept emerging. His fist techniques were also gradually improving.

Even with his arrogance regarding "emptiness," he couldn't help but marvel that, tens of thousands of years later, although these successors hadn't succeeded in shattering the vacuum, they had already surpassed it by far in terms of pure martial arts techniques.

His emotional reaction stemmed not only from the unprecedented power of this attack, but also from his certainty that Xu Xing would be unable to withstand it.

Before the two enormous hands, Xu Xing maintained his original form. To the naked eye, he looked like a tiny mustard seed in two vast oceans, indescribably small.

Yet this single mustard seed unleashed a power that could overturn rivers and seas, even the heavens and the earth!
He pointed one finger to the sky and one to the earth, and said calmly:
"end!"

Upon uttering this word, Kong Na's immortal body, a fusion of spirit and flesh, capable of countless transformations, trembled violently, his bones and muscles resonated, and he unleashed a deafening explosion. His hands, which had transformed into a millstone of heaven and earth, could no longer crush down!

It was as if it wasn't a person at all, but a towering, indestructible pillar that used its spine to support this collapsing world.

Xu Xing took the blow head-on, his sleeves billowing wildly, the red ribbon binding his hair at the back of his head shattered, and his black hair was blown back, swirling like a dragon!

He grinned, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Although the "empty" strike did not injure Xu Xing, it did give him a real sense of pain that he hadn't felt in a long time. This pain did not come from a physical blow, but was caused purely by the intent of the fist.

Just as Xu Xing himself thought, since defying the Five Elements and achieving the innate divine body, he has become almost immune to physical harm thanks to his near-perfect control over energy.

If a strong person's fist intent is sufficiently refined and pure, it can overcome this limitation, causing him to feel pain or even be injured.

Undoubtedly, the "emptiness" that is on the verge of shattering the vacuum falls within this category.

However, Xu Xing still felt some regret.

Although Kong's physical cultivation had reached the pinnacle of the Thousand Transformations, he had been trapped in the Longevity Secret Realm for too long and lacked understanding of the vast world. Even with the infusion of his and Xu Wuyi's teachings, he was unable to comprehend the power of Kun Yuan and successfully break through.

In matches between players at their level, a difference of just one level often results in a significant gap in skill.

As Xu Xing pondered, he moved again, tearing open the void barrier of the Longevity Secret Realm. He pulled one hand back to its limit, like a powerful bow drawn to its fullest extent, and unleashed a powerful punch!
All that could be seen was a tragic white rainbow, traversing layers upon layers of immortal energy, rushing towards him with unparalleled speed!

This is Xu Xing's Shooting the Heavenly Wolf!
Since his battle with the Minister of War, Xu Xing has comprehended the Minister's war intent and incorporated it into his Shooting Wolf technique.

Although he was a veteran of countless battles, he had never participated in a massive interstellar war involving hundreds of millions of people. Therefore, this martial arts intent was of great benefit to Xu Xing.

The fist is the most primitive weapon of humankind in combat, and since ancient times, martial arts, Taoist arts, and even starships and giant cannons can all be considered derivatives and evolutions of this weapon.

Xu Xing's boxing style has reached a state of returning to simplicity and authenticity. By taking advantage of the moment of war, he has transcended war and touched the most essential fighting spirit!
Kong could sense that the opponent's punch seemed to have incorporated all the wars of the vast world and even the outer star rivers since ancient times, turning them into a surging river of history, and then concentrating them into one point, all at once.

Even though it was empty, it could only raise its arms to block the blow in front of it, and take the hit head-on. It crashed into the Saha Tree, causing half of the tree's branches and leaves to wither and die, leaving only a bare trunk.

Immediately afterwards, Kong's male body, wrapped in the Saha Tree, rolled for ten thousand miles in the Longevity Secret Realm before stopping. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick, green blood, wiped his mouth, and revealed a sinister look in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Xu Wu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in admiration:
"This fist technique is at least ten times stronger than that of the Minister of War, and perhaps even more."

In Xu Xing's punch, besides the Minister of War's fist technique, there was also the ultimate enlightenment he gained after passing through nine tribulations of lightning, observing the origin cycle of the great world, and devouring the will of heaven and earth.

This was an experience that even Xu Wuyi had never had before. No matter how high his martial arts skills were, he could not perfectly recreate this attack.

Xu Xing threw a punch and, without pausing, moved again, arriving in front of "Kong" once more.

This time, he not only used his own fist techniques, but also unleashed the martial arts passed down to him by Xu Wuyi. The two figures were completely entangled in battle, inseparable, and wherever they passed, there was a scene of earth-shattering chaos.

Kong was indeed a peak in the martial arts of the human immortals. Even under Xu Xing's attack, which surpassed the level of "bombardment" and whose every punch and kick was enough to destroy a planet, Kong still maintained his stance.

After exchanging 36,000 blows with "Void," Xu Xing felt quite satisfied, but he stopped attacking. Instead, he turned around and returned to Xu Wuyi's side, letting out a long breath and smiling slightly:

“Brother Xu, we are both martial artists. Even if we want to discuss the Dao before we fight, it is not appropriate to sit and talk. Let’s use this fellow as a target. If we gain anything, let’s put it into practice on him.”

Xu Wu's eyes lit up, and he slowly rolled up his sleeves, revealing a pair of fair, jade-like arms, and said happily:

“Brother Xu’s words resonate with me. I have already gained some insights from observing your battle, and now is the perfect time to put them into practice.”

Kong Ben was seizing the time to absorb the true energy of longevity in order to recover from his injuries as soon as possible. Upon hearing the conversation between the two, he felt like vomiting blood, but he had no choice but to raise his hand and face the attack from Xu Wuyi once again.

Xu Xing also came to the back of Mount Tai and, using this battle as an example, analyzed in simple terms how mysterious the clash between the two peak martial arts masters was.

Meanwhile, outside the instantaneous labyrinth, another group of visitors arrived, led by none other than the Dream God, who commands the Eternal Kingdom.

Under the eternal light, there were two other figures, their energy abundant and boundless, covering the four directions of heaven and earth, giving the impression of grasping the sun and moon and mastering the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.

Clearly, these are two peak experts who have survived nine tribulations of lightning, comprehended the fundamental cycle of existence, and understood the ultimate principles of the vast world. (End of Chapter)
