From a martial arts disciple to a god through countless trials and tribulations

Chapter 336 The Bull Demon King (Part 2)
"Long..."

The sky was ablaze as three unparalleled powerhouses clashed, and countless scenes of vast immortal energy appeared one after another, shocking everyone present.

"When I was young, I cultivated and was fond of thunder energy, so I continued to cultivate. Even the Little Dragon Palace dared not obstruct my path."

Niu Ben spoke, looking at the two opposite him, and calmly said, "But now that you dare to disobey me, you may leave the stage now!"

On this ascension platform, auspicious light tore through the sky. He descended to earth like a god who commanded thunder and plague demons, fighting two immortal beings alone and still maintaining the upper hand.

He was filled with anger. He could bear Liu Chenqiang's defection, but Liu Shuang's betrayal left Yao Bai puzzled... She was not only a demon, but she had also been bullied by the human Xinzhai before!
"How can there be a way out if we are enemies with all the ways of the world?!" Liu Shuang responded, her fist imprints raining down like a storm.

Everything in the world has value, even the supreme creation can be measured. After being defeated by the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Worlds on the first day, she resolutely gave up the idea of ​​competing for it.

Not worth it...

Liu Shuang realized with a clear mind that there were far too many "monsters" in this banquet, many of whom were no less capable than her.

Moreover, the powerful figures behind these monsters are even more terrifying.

"Killing someone is not as simple as paying with your life," Liu Shuang sighed inwardly.

The Supreme Being of All Ages swept across the realm, but behind him was the Little Azure Heaven Dao Master, who awaited his ascension to the True Monarch realm and the refinement of this extraordinary being, seeking to become an immortal.

Despite being merely a cauldron, Yao Feiyue commands utmost respect from the beings at the pinnacle of the Dao Palace, and her Nuwa Mountain is home to several Taiyin Dao Demon True Lords.

Xinzhai's background is no less impressive, with the Black and White True Lord who annihilated three True Lords in one battle, and the reclusive Mountain Ghost Goddess behind him.

And then there are countless people with great fortune, like Nanmian and Yu Tianzi, who are not ordinary people.
Normally, the death of one of these Dao Child level geniuses would cause the entire region to tremble.

Annihilate them all?

Even the most powerful and influential beings in the mortal world wouldn't dare to entertain such a thought... Even the Golden Core Immortals of the Celestial Palace probably wouldn't dare to descend to the mortal realm to do this.

Therefore, when Liu Shuang ordered Xiao Long and the Six-Eared Ape to lure Xin Zhai, she directly commanded the Six-Eared Ape to act in advance, exposing her intentions and giving Xin Zhai time to deal with the crisis.

Previously, she had secretly held back when dealing with others such as Wan Shizun.

"Liu Shuang, after you kill me, how will you face yourself?" Niu Ben said coldly, his large hand gripping the large drum that was emanating an aura of plague.

The rules of the Supreme Creation cannot be defied; the fighting will only stop when one side is wiped out, otherwise no one can leave.

"Throughout history, nothing is more difficult than the disintegration of a warrior and the shattering of jade!" Liu Shuang laughed freely: "I am fighting for opportunities on my own, and I will never bring disaster to the sect... You have killed too many direct descendants of major sects."

She was not afraid of her own demise, but she did not want the already precarious Qilin Mountain to suffer the danger of collapsing and being wiped out because of her.

"It seems you've decided to reincarnate and start anew."

Niu Ben nodded, looked at Liu Chenqiang in his silver armor and red robe, and asked, "Liu Chenqiang, are you afraid too?"

Taking the initiative to concede defeat, abandoning this lifetime of cultivation, and passing away is indeed a solution that "does not harm harmony," but Liu Chenqiang clearly has different plans.

"There may be a third way!" the silver-armored general roared, continuously wielding his silver spear, which swayed and cast slivers of starlight, dazzlingly bright.

"Very well, I shall reign supreme as a bull!" Niu Ben laughed. With his companions defecting, he continued on his way alone, still possessing the confidence to sweep through the entire Mountain and Sea Banquet.

There is no way out if you deal with others, and going against them is also a dead end!

In the fierce battle among the three, various rays of light burst forth, and all kinds of magic clashed, like flying immortals, with light rain scattering down, mysterious and awe-inspiring.

Such a chaotic battle between extraordinary individuals is a rare sight in the world!

"hold head high!"

Suddenly, a golden road stretched out from the void.

Chen Xuan arrived at the scene via a secret feng shui path. His hair flew wildly, and the roar of the Azure Dragon within his body shook the heavens and earth. His blood and qi were like a furnace, sweeping across the sky and the earth.

At this moment, not only were the cultivators near the Two Realms Ship momentarily stunned, but even Niu Ben and the other two were momentarily taken aback. Xin Zhai not only did not avoid the attack, but instead came to fight alone?!
“You…” Liu Shuang was stunned. No matter how she looked at it, the moment the other party attacked was not the best time. Was he blinded by anger?
As soon as Chen Xuan appeared, the blood energy of his immortal body soared into the sky, radiating unparalleled divine might, dazzling the heavens and earth.

"This supreme fortune is only for the strongest to compete for. Take my punch first and see what you're made of!" Chen Xuan laughed.

Instead of standing idly by and reaping the benefits, he boldly and squarely charged into the battle between the three divine beings, like a supreme being reincarnated.

Chen Xuan's original intention in joining the Mountain and Sea Banquet was to meet heroes from all over the world, compete for the top spot and seize the destiny, and this intention has never changed!
With a thunderous roar, ten thousand dragons soared towards the heavenly palace!
Chen Xuan threw a punch, his first strike aimed at Niu Ben. This was the supreme and noble Azure Dragon Fist, with nine azure dragons coiling around his arm. His aura was overwhelming, and he struck straight at Niu Ben.

With a single punch, a myriad of auspicious lights shone forth, blurring all the scenery, leaving only the azure sky obscured and the dragon's roar echoing between heaven and earth!

"Haha! You have an invincible spirit than anyone else, come on!" Niu Ben laughed loudly, confronting him head-on, and wielded the Thunder Hammer, smashing it out with a thunderous roar.

The hammer glowed, and countless plague demons wielded lightning whips, lashing down. This was the Thunder Plague Combination Technique, capable of vanquishing evil spirits in the world!

Between these two, the azure sky surged, lightning intertwined, dragons roared and bulls howled, laws bloomed, and the momentum was extremely grand, tearing the void like a sheet of paper being violently torn apart.

This is a war of gods.

"Mirror!" Niu Ben's pupils suddenly contracted. As his attack approached the opponent, the energy rapidly diminished, decreasing by more than tenfold.

At the same time, his most relied-upon realm was also rapidly declining, dropping several realms in an instant.

The two separated and passed each other.

Chen Xuan felt invigorated; this was a formidable enemy.

"General Liu, you too, take my attack!" Chen Xuan turned around and shouted.

He was full of fighting spirit. After exchanging a blow with Niu Ben, he turned around and attacked Liu Chenqiang with his sword, fearless of any enemy.

It should be noted that Niu Ben, Liu Shuang, and Liu Chenqiang in this region are all unparalleled heroes. Even if they have fallen to a lower realm, they are still Divine Immortals. Each of them is a supreme expert who can sweep away enemies, but Chen Xuan is not afraid.

Chen Xuan wielded his sword with unrestrained skill, the sword's edge radiating a powerful aura, as bright as a cold, icy mountain rising up, threatening to pierce the heavens.

"I had this idea long ago!" Upon seeing this, Liu Chenqiang raised his silver divine spear, and divine power surged forth, with countless galaxy waterfalls engulfing the world.

No one knows what the strongest human was planning. After abandoning his attack on Yao Feiyue, he wiped out a considerable number of Qi cultivators, most of whom were demons. However, if he encountered any humans on the road, he would also wipe them out with a single shot.

With a clang, swords and spears rang out in unison, bursting forth with brilliant light. The heavens and earth were pierced through, the divine power was unfathomable, and the cracks were dense and numerous, creating an extremely terrifying scene!
This is a grand showdown between the martial arts of swordsmanship and the art of spearmanship, with every strike possessing immense destructive power.

"Foolish brute!" Liu Shuang whispered. Xin Zhai's attack on Liu Chenqiang, who was besieging Niu Ben, was utterly incomprehensible.

The sun in the sky shone brightly on the world. She didn't believe Chen Xuan was unaware of the situation here, but he still attacked Liu Chen with his spear.

Could it be that he held a grudge because Liu Chenqiang caused him trouble? How could there be such a petty Qi cultivator in the world!
"Wow!"

Chen Xuan's body was surging with blood energy, extremely terrifying. Eight kinds of divine light bloomed, like a burning immortal furnace for refining pills, so hot that people's eyes were burning and they could not look directly at it.

His physical body and vital energy were so vigorous that even Niu Ben, at his peak and at the highest level, was far inferior to him.

"What are you babbling about? Liu Shuang, I didn't hit you, did I?!" Chen Xuan turned around and laughed. In the bright sun in the sky, he rapidly constructed a thousand-layered Sun Barrier, spewing out a pillar of sunlight as thick as a mountain, surrounded by sun runes, which shot straight towards Liu Shuang.

This is the Candle Dragon Technique, upright and righteous, a pillar of light piercing through the sky and the earth, like a god opening his eyes, possessing the divine power to suppress the mortal world.

"This..." In the distance, Wang Linyuan and the other Divine Travelers finally approached and were preparing to help Chen Xuan, but they were stunned by what they saw. Chen Xuan was fighting three Divine Travelers all by himself.
At this moment, for all the strong, Xinzhai's domineering and mighty power was so overwhelming that it made their hearts tremble.

"You madman!" Liu Shuang roared in fury. Ignoring Liu Chenqiang's ambiguous stance, she was clearly on Niu Ben's side, siding with the others, yet Chen Xuan had attacked her as well. Her long hair flowed freely, radiating a divine and flawless aura. Behind her surged a Yin-Yang Taiji celestial diagram, vast and unfathomable. As the Yin-Yang fish rotated, it manifested a world of its own.

Qilin Mountain has taken a unique approach, following a path of martial arts completely opposite to other traditions of the Doubu, using stillness to calm movement, and embodying the highest good like water, transforming all murderous intent into a state of peace.

At this moment, she used the mountain-suppressing immortal technique of Qilin Mountain to resist Chen Xuan's domineering attack, intending to use the Taiji Diagram to absorb the pillar of sunlight.

"Break!" Chen Xuan shouted, continuously adding immortal energy to the blazing sun in the sky. At the same time, a bright beam of light flew out from his eyes, constructed from the Candle Dragon runes, with fragments of time flying around.

This is the Candle Dragon Technique, with endless wonders. Even its pure destructive power is so strong that it shakes one's soul. Its power over time can obliterate all things.

"Tear!"

Liu Shuang was forced to retreat rapidly. The Yin-Yang Taiji diagram was shattered by the divine light of the sun. Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan's pupils tore open a large gash on her shoulder, and blood burst forth.

Her cultivation level was the lowest, and she was suppressed by the bronze mirror, causing her cultivation to plummet. In a direct confrontation, she was no match for Chen Xuan.

"I..." Liu Shuang was severely injured and couldn't help but curse Xin Zhai in her heart. This person was simply impossible to get along with. He was indeed a crude and unruly person who came from the mountains of the Southern Wilderness!

Chen Xuan alone, facing three Divine Immortal Seeds, displayed boundless domineering power, yet they all suffered indiscriminate attacks, unable to withstand his momentary divine might.

"Haha! Liushuang, you want to help them, but don't forget that humans are the most ruthless and heartless!" Niu Ben laughed loudly upon seeing this.

At the same time, his aura surged, and a white jade talisman rose from his body, spewing out a faint immortal mist, with the aura of celestial beings from beyond the heavens, carrying a slightly decaying smell.

Then, the jade talisman transformed into a set of immortal armor, which draped over his body, and circles of peaceful, colorful light rippled outwards.

In an instant, the bronze mirror's suppressive force became unassailable where Niu Ben stood, and his cultivation level returned to its peak.

A divine journey through the six heavens!
The incomplete power of destiny was banished.

At this moment, Niu Ben descended like a divine god of justice. Compared to the other young gods, Niu Ben possessed the cold and aloof majesty of a god. Once he became serious, he immediately commanded respect and looked down upon the world.

“They’re all here.” He said with a smile, and from afar, the aura of many “resurrected” beings was approaching.

Niu Ben withdrew his gaze and looked at Chen Xuan, then said, "The Sparrow King is right. As long as we come to you, we can settle the score in one battle and eliminate everyone at once."

He was the strongest, unmatched by anyone, and the others could only try to avoid him.

However, Xinzhai possesses the power to change lives, so once he begins targeting Xinzhai, other difficult-to-kill demons will seize the opportunity and gather around.

"..." Liu Shuang and Liu Chenqiang stared intently. Not long ago, when they surrounded Wan Shizun, Niu Ben did not use this method.

This is a special gift from the Celestial Immortal to the Venerable One of Ten Thousand Worlds!
However, Niu Ben left the means that should have been used to deal with Wan Shizun to Xinzhai, who possessed the bronze mirror.

“This…” In the distance, Emperor Yu grinned, his scalp tingling: “Oxen may seem honest, but they are actually more treacherous than sparrows.”

Of the four divine beings, it is said that the Sparrow King is the most cunning and cautious.

But the other three are even more so, because a truly prudent person will not show their true face to outsiders!

“I’ve already said it, Niu Ben is different,” Yu Zhe Xian sighed.

He had fought against the opponent in the Cauldron Realm and found that he was indeed no match for him and could only run away. He said, "The Supreme Creation is fair and impartial and will not favor any side."

Niu Ben and the other three possess strength comparable to all the others combined.

"Long..."

On the other side, golden lightning crackled as a tall figure, wielding a celestial sword embryo, strode into the Thunder Pool. Nearby, wisps of earth-elemental energy rose, accompanied by the wondrous sight of a goddess scattering flowers.

Further away, the black tide surged, and a divine moon hung in the sky. A red-robed enchantress, her jade feet treading on the moon, arrived like a flying immortal.

Chen Xuan turned around and detected the auras of powerful figures such as Nanmian, Yu Zhexian, Wan Shizun, Ji Youbing, and Yao Feiyue. The Supreme Destiny and the flawless immortal seeds were converging from all directions.

"Ha ha……"

Loud laughter rang out, and the sound of drums shook the heavens and the earth.

Niu Ben's gaze turned cold as he said, "Xin Zhai, Yao Feiyue has the power to change the world, but are we ordinary people?"

Yao Feiyue called for support from the Celestial Palace, and her strength increased dramatically in a short period of time. This was the biggest unexpected change, and the situation immediately collapsed.

Although the Divine Immortals like the Sparrow King possessed the means to compensate for the deficiencies in their Golden Cores, they lacked the time to repair them. Therefore, despite the difference in their cultivation levels and their efforts to defeat the young prodigies one by one, they still won with great difficulty, each suffering numerous injuries.

However, Niu Ben is an exception.

A celestial being from beyond the heavens chose him and bestowed upon him a reward that had an immediate effect on resolving his lack of elixirs.

Moreover, Niu Ben was the oldest, yet he was still summoned to the Mountain and Sea Banquet. This means that his immortal seed and golden core were not severely flawed, and were far more complete than those of demons like Liu Shuang and Que Huang, so it was not difficult to resolve.

"I am now without flaws." Niu Ben spoke, and the broken horn on his forehead was instantly healed. He exuded a strong Plague aura, and he was like an unparalleled Bull Demon King descending to earth, terrifying beyond measure.

At the same time, beneath his feet, the outline of a purplish-black ancient mountain slowly emerged; this was the top-tier blessed land, [Ji Lei Mountain].

But at this moment, this sacred mountain, as if washed clean of dust, has undergone a leap in status, revealing the true form of the ancient [Jilei Cave Heaven], which is of a higher level.

This is a flawless immortal seed.

My spirit travels through the six heavens.

"This..." At this moment, all the geniuses were filled with gloom. How difficult it was to defeat a flawless immortal seed! Even if one had to cross one or two realms to defeat it, it would be recorded in history books and become a legend.

But at this moment, Niu Ben's level was too high, far surpassing anyone else present.

It can be said that just as powerful figures like Nanmian, Xinzhai, and Wanshizun crushed others, Niu Ben will be able to crush them in the same way.

"This is bad..." Wang Linyuan and his group of divine beings changed their expressions drastically. This kind of high-level flawless immortal seed, which is rare to find even once in a thousand years, has unfathomable strength.

Even if everyone at the Mountain and Sea Banquet sets aside their grudges and joins forces to fight, victory is still not guaranteed.

Without a doubt, Niu Ben was the sole protagonist at the Mountain and Sea Banquet at this moment. The immense pressure emanating from him alone made the group of Shenyou feel as if the sky was about to collapse.

"A whole realm higher than Chen Xuan..." Yan Yushu arrived from afar. With Yao Feiyue and a group of others successfully transcending their tribulations, she could finally focus on other things.

But a sense of despair rose in her heart; the enemy before her was beyond her power to defeat.

The young cultivators possess the Heavenly Mandate Technique, while the veteran immortal Niu Ben has various extraterrestrial array-breaking techniques...

When everyone possesses various extraordinary powers, the difference in their cultivation levels once again becomes an insurmountable chasm.

"You're even better at pretending than Junior Brother Wang Chan? Go talk to my sword!" On the other side, Chen Xuan summoned the Sparrow Emperor's True Monarch Sword. In the few breaths that Niu Ben displayed his divine power, the White Emperor Sword Scripture was running at high speed, and countless sword intents that could not be suppressed surged out.

White Emperor Sword Technique, Immortal Slaying Sword Style!

"Zheng!"

The True Lord Sword pierced through the universe, splitting the sky above and below. Its ultimate killing sword energy, vast and unparalleled, crashed into Niu Ben, who was standing on the Thunder Accumulation Cave.

Chaos erupted at the Ascension Platform. The strongest group of people had almost all arrived, and the most terrifying final battle broke out in an instant.
