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

Chapter 337 A Battle of Prodigies
Under the sky, several ultimate prodigies accelerated their approach, their divine power shaking the ten directions. The Mountain and Sea Banquet seemed to have entered its final battle, and everyone was filled with excitement.

"It has begun." But no one expected that Xinzhai Duxing would directly attack Niu Ben. Perfect immortal seeds, top-notch divine beings, and others appeared one after another, frantically surrounding him, afraid of falling behind and missing the opportunity.

"Zheng!"

The sword's cry was like metal and stone splitting the sky, its sound soaring to the heavens, its sharpness piercing into everyone's bones. Chen Xuan unleashed the White Emperor's Sword, its sword energy seemingly capable of cleaving open the cage of this world.

Clang!

"Showing off your skills before an expert." Niu Ben sneered, unleashing a thunderous hammer with his massive hand. Purple lightning shattered the void, its divine power unstoppable!
However, the final result was that his thunder hammer was cleaved with huge cracks, and his palm was also shaken and bled.

This is the Zhuxian Sword Style. Although it is not the orthodox White Emperor's inheritance, the sword has always been unparalleled in killing power. The killing power of this sword is still no less than that of an ordinary supreme-level technique.

Although Niu Ben's skill level was extremely high, it was absolutely impossible for him to withstand a deadly sword move head-on.

At the same time, more than ten Divine Realm cultivators nearby made their move. Wang Linyuan's expression was solemn as he unleashed his trump card, the Immortal Sword Technique: "Slash!"

A brilliant sword aura swept away, outlining a magnificent landscape along its path; the sword aura was vast and powerful.

One of the female Taoist practitioners held up a miniature volcano about a foot high, with jade slips floating in the lava, shooting out chains of golden characters, mysterious and ancient.

Another man, with wildly dancing hair and a misty, shimmering aura, unleashed his profound power, causing a massive flood to surge across the ascension platform, swirling up the heavens.

Chaos erupted on the ascension platform as a fierce battle broke out, accompanied by the booming of Daoist sounds.

As soon as Chen Xuan made his move, everyone else joined in the attack on Niu Ben.

This battle concerns everyone's safety and requires a united fight; no one can stand aside!
"Does anyone think they can lay a hand on me? A motley crew of sand can't fill the sea."

Niu Ben was dissatisfied. He silently turned around and summoned the Plague God Drum with his other hand. The drum surface glowed, and a one-eyed, three-legged flying bull rushed out and swooped down on everyone.

He was merely a demon, yet he swept aside all heroes, fearless of everyone's siege, his demonic power overwhelming.

Those divine beings were attacked and had to fight back with all their might. The place was filled with a deafening roar, and the divine power was as terrifying as the waves crashing against the sky.

Many people coughed up blood and were sent flying backwards, including powerful cultivators like Wang Linyuan, who could not withstand Niu Ben's casual strike!
"How could this be? The legendary Bull Demon King has been reborn! Wuque Shenyou is invincible!" Someone's face turned pale, and their spirits plummeted.

At this moment, only Chen Xuan remained detached. His immortal body was so resilient that it was impervious to all magic, allowing him to directly confront Niu Ben's divine power.

Chen Xuan frowned and silently put away the bronze mirror to prevent Wang Linyuan and the others from being killed by Niu Ben in one blow due to a drop in their cultivation level.

"Finally, he put that thing away!" On the other side, Liu Shuang gritted her teeth. Although she had some means to deal with the power of the Ten Thousand Worlds Venerable, the effect was not as significant as Niu Ben's.

That was the supreme mandate of heaven. Even if one was only at the cauldron level, it was not something that anyone could ignore. Only the celestial being from beyond the heavens who bestowed blessings upon Niu Ben seemed to have found a temporary solution.

"Zheng!"

Suddenly, a dazzling spear light appeared, piercing Niu Ben's back. A thousand layers of silver light appeared as Liu Chenqiang's figure emerged from the void, throwing his spear and launching a sneak attack.

"Boom!"

Niu Ben let out a long roar, and purple-black beams of light shot out from his mouth, nose, and seven orifices. Chaotic radiance burst forth from every pore, causing the silver divine spear to fly away.

Liu Chenqiang let out a muffled groan and spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

"What harm is there in all of you attacking at once?!"

Niu Ben threw his head back and laughed loudly, proclaiming, "This is the way to make enemies of the whole world!"

He turned and reached out, a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky and the sun, a beam of purplish-black plague energy filling the space and outlining the golden imperial radiance as it charged forward.

puff!
In the end, Liu Chen's spear was crushed by the giant hand, the Ascension Ground collapsed, and a mottled dark golden core appeared. Then, the core turned into a handful of ashes and scattered, and he perished.

"The Bull Demon King is too powerful. He has an overwhelming advantage over anyone on his own." In the distance, the figure of the ultimate genius finally arrived, but upon seeing this scene, his scalp tingled.

"Huh? Dead?" Chen Xuan hovered in mid-air, holding the True Monarch Sword, his eyes filled with surprise and doubt as he scanned the starlight falling from the sky.

A divine being, thus perished at Niu Ben's hands, utterly powerless to resist.
"Xin Zhai, it's your turn next." Niu Ben turned his gaze to Chen Xuan, and the overwhelming power of the Plague Department swept over him.

"boom!"

In an instant, a gigantic demonic shadow appeared above Chen Xuan's head, wielding a divine axe, and cleaved downwards, enveloping him.

Chen Xuan's hair stood on end. He used Xing Tian's secret technique to dodge to the side, but a divine spear pierced down, its dark light shining brightly, shattering the void, its momentum unstoppable by ten thousand armies!

He dodged again, and in the next instant, a halberd flashed with golden light, cleaving the sky to kill him.

In an instant, Niu Ben unleashed a barrage of divine attacks, transforming into a thousand divine weapons that appeared from all directions, leaving Chen Xuan feeling as if he were trapped in a quagmire.

Everyone's expression changed. A towering phantom of a bull demon, hundreds of thousands of feet tall, rose up. It had eighteen arms, each wielding a divine weapon. Every strike was filled with immense magical power. Some nearby spirits were grazed by it and instantly turned into bloody mud, exploding into pieces.

If those on the edge of the battlefield are in such a state, it is unimaginable what kind of terrifying pressure Chen Xuan, who is in the center, is under.

Niu Ben is an extremely terrifying judicial deity of the Plague Department, in charge of killing and executing laws, commanding all spirits, and is one of the origins of military strategists, strict and unpredictable!
"Nothing more than that!"

To everyone's surprise, Chen Xuan did not continue to dodge. He stood in the void, assessed the opponent's strength, and then faced him in battle.

In his hand, a page of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Guyao" appeared, its light falling like a gentle breeze. Holding the fragmented page, he faced the heavenly judicial soldiers.

boom!
The phantom of Guyao Mountain appeared, and wisps of a vast and boundless aura permeated the air, resisting the oppressive power of the Plague God and blocking the heavenly soldiers.

"A mere furnace, stubbornly resisting!" Niu Ben sneered, and the newly formed [Thunder Accumulation Cave Heaven] phantom beneath his feet burst forth with raging demonic flames, crashing towards Guyao Mountain.

"Ji Lei Mountain has been forcibly elevated in rank by a reward from beyond the heavens, and has been reborn!" someone exclaimed in surprise. According to legend, Ji Lei Mountain was a fragment of the ancient Bull Demon Supreme's [Ji Lei Heaven], but now, its spirituality has been revived.

However, the fragment of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Guyao" truly lives up to its reputation as the number one divine object in the world. Although it has not been fully revived and is still controlled by Chen Xuan as the cauldron, it can still contend with the "Jilei Cave Heaven" and is not at a significant disadvantage.

It should be noted that the fox demons of Qingqiu Mountain, who are not good at fighting, have firmly occupied a place in the world of Qi cultivation because they have mastered the complete "Classic of Mountains and Seas: Qingqiu". They have never weakened throughout the ages.

"Niu Ben has used the power of the Immortal Seed to control the Dao!" someone exclaimed. Once the power of the Immortal Seed is unleashed, who can compete with him?

Liu Chenqiang has been defeated and is now dead. Is Xinzhai next?!

A golden light rose from Niu Ben's body, followed by countless golden immortal runes that surged out and empowered the [Ji Lei Cave Heaven], causing Gu Yao Mountain to collapse downwards. Clear light splashed out, and the mountain emitted a piercing cracking sound.

Guyao Mountain looks like it's about to collapse and return to its barren state!
"Whoosh!" In the hazy Guyao Mountain, a pale light of calamity burst forth, like a celestial glow of calamity, desperately resisting the falling [Jile Cave Heaven].

But Niu Ben's realm was simply too high, his divine power as vast as heaven and earth, which was completely overwhelming people with his realm!
"kill!"

At this moment, Chen Xuan erupted. Niu Ben was so powerful that he was almost overpowering him, which made him lose his temper. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation in all the battles he had fought since he began cultivating the Dao!
Although the other party was nine realms higher than him, he couldn't stand this humiliation!

boom!
Chen Xuan's golden eyes surged with countless strands of scarlet light, and at the same time, a vertical pupil between his brows opened, and countless ghostly figures emerged, as if a seal had been broken, and the moment of ghostly roars and evil spirits running rampant had arrived!
The Great Karma Taboo Technique of Xinzhai.

Please let a ghost possess you!

He was like a streak of black and red light, charging forward with his sword.

This is a forbidden technique of the Heart Fasting Heaven, its wondrousness is in no way inferior to those forbidden techniques of destiny. It can utilize the fourth level of Heart Fasting power to its limit, and has the power to sever reincarnation and annihilate all traces of living beings.

"The forbidden technique of the immortals of Xinzhai Heaven..." Niu Ben's expression changed drastically. Only by personally facing the power of Xinzhai could he feel the bloody darkness described in those brief words in ancient history. As soon as the opponent rushed over, he felt a sense of suffocation, and the cold air rushed straight to the top of his head.

"Buzz!"

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the immortal seed golden core within his body, meticulously concealed by some extraordinary means, emitted a mournful cry, terrified, and ordered him to flee immediately.

Even divine intervention from beyond the heavens would be useless!
When the Heart-Cleansing Hall is fully opened, all the Heavenly Mandate Immortal Seeds will have to submit. They cannot escape or hide; only destruction awaits them!

Niu Ben rode the thunder and immediately retreated.

"boom!"

In the sky, the blazing sun trembled, and a dazzling crimson beam of light, as thick as a mountain, plowed across the earth. The sun's extreme speed meant that no matter how high Niu Ben's cultivation level was, he was still plowed by the crimson beam of light.

"Cough!" Niu Ben was sent flying backward. The golden light of the Golden Core on his body disappeared. In an instant, the power of the Imperial Dao was violently torn apart and shattered!

What's the point of discussing the Imperial Golden Elixir Method?

Even the most extraordinary and powerful beings, capable of sweeping across the world, must bow down and submit when Xinzhai is born, utterly powerless to resist!

"He used that power again." Yan Yushu's heart tightened; the aftereffects of the Heart-Cleansing Celestial Immortal Technique were too great.

She is most sensitive to the seven emotions and six desires, greed, anger and ignorance. She can clearly sense that every time Chen Xuan uses forbidden techniques, he is falling into darkness, embracing the destiny of Xinzhai, and will eventually become an extremely vicious and cold monster.

"boom!"

When Chen Xuanruo, like a blood-red dragon soaring through the sky, rushed in front of Niu Ben, Niu Ben had already used no less than ten methods of escape and obstruction, but he could only hold out for a short while and could not stop that person.

"Zheng!"

Chen Xuan unleashed a crimson sword aura from the White Emperor, striking the opponent's back, tearing through flesh and slamming him into the ground, creating a large crater.

"Crack!"

Thousands of scarlet trails, like a flood, covered Niu Ben's body, accompanied by roaring ghosts and evil spirits, rushing to drill into the mysterious place inside his body, causing the perfect golden core to collapse.

Niu Ben could see that the immortal techniques used to conceal the golden core were still in place, but Xin Zhai ignored them. Countless terrifying scarlet lines spread out of thin air from the mournful golden core.

"In the end, there is no way to resist—" This sorrowful thought arose in Niu Ben's mind.

He had heard that the Heavenly Mandate Black and White True Lord of the Southern Region had been born and was fighting against several Demon True Lords, but because of his fasting, he dared not attend in person, so his victory was extremely difficult.

Even if one reaches the True Monarch Realm, should one still be wary of Xinzhai?
"Then I shall relinquish the Golden Core... and protect this god's final journey on the Great Dao." Niu Ben muttered to himself, tilting his head back to spit out a dark golden glass bead covered in tragic cracks, which he held in his hand and shot into the sky.

When a feeling of sorrow arises in one's heart, one should immediately and resolutely shed all ties and abandon the path of immortal seeds and golden elixir!
When the four divine immortals decided to come to Xinzhai, they were all prepared for the worst. Therefore, in case of unforeseen circumstances, they decisively began to cut their golden cores.

"Hmm?" Chen Xuan's eyes were expressionless, his vertical pupils shifting. He paused for a moment, said nothing, and met Niu Ben's gaze.

"I'll interrupt your path to immortality!" He unleashed his full power, his entire body shrouded in malice, like a burning black sun, erupting with boundless evil thoughts.

At this moment, with each breath Chen Xuan exhaled, the heavens and earth trembled. Liu Shuang, Su Fuyao, Yan Yushu, the Supreme God who was still undergoing tribulation, the Lord of the Two Realms, and other Heavenly Fate Immortal Seeds who had rushed over all felt a sense of suffocation and soul-shaking fear.

"I want nothing more!" Niu Ben roared, his expression ferocious. His body crackled and popped, his arm glowed, the imperial golden light was crystal clear, and the golden core burst out with the last ray of light, with immortal runes falling like a torrential rain.

"boom!"

In that instant, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, demons wailed and gods howled, blood rained down, and even celestial phenomena appeared, with swirling mists rising and dispersing—there were too many strange phenomena in the world.

The two transformed into black and gold light, intertwining and colliding continuously.

This sight stunned everyone. Niu Ben was risking his life, trying to use the last power of the Immortal Seed Golden Elixir to destroy Xinzhai. Could he succeed?
"This..." Everyone's heart skipped a beat. Could Xinzhai survive?
Most likely, they are in grave danger!

After all, spanning an entire realm, a significant portion of the Xinzhai masters recorded in ancient history died in this manner!

"clang!"

The sound of the golden core shattering was like the sound of a bronze bell. A surging golden wave pushed open the sky, as if the sound of immortals crying could be heard. Golden energy ripples burst out from Niu Ben's body. A divine traveler was hit and instantly disintegrated into dust.

"puff!"

The collision was violent. Niu Ben groaned, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his arm turned to dust as he staggered backward.

His injuries were extremely severe; he suffered a setback in this major battle, and one of his arms seemed to be lost forever, unable to regenerate.

Moreover, he lost his Golden Core. "Niu Ben failed; the energy from the shattered Immortal Seed Golden Core didn't even replace Xin Zhai!" someone exclaimed.

Without a doubt, Niu Ben wanted to unleash his final power of imperial authority to kill Chen Xuan before the Immortal Seed and Golden Core were completely destroyed.

But clearly, he suffered a crushing defeat; Shinzai was more resilient than imagined.

Everyone was shocked. Was this the legendary Heart Fasting? It was terrifying that a mere cauldron realm cultivator could shatter the foundation of a flawless divine immortal!

It is foreseeable that from this day forward, the Immortal Bull Bull will be reduced to one of the common demons, and the Great Dao will be lost!
"No! Xinzhai is also injured, he's bleeding!" Someone stared intently and noticed that Chen Xuan's condition was not right. The evil thoughts and malevolent spirits around him all returned and disappeared completely.

Furthermore, on his unparalleled immortal body, a terrifying wound appeared with a "poof," as if it were about to burst open, gushing out a large amount of blood stained with golden seal script.

Xinzhai was severely injured, and his clothes were soaked with clear blood, making him look like a blood-soaked person.

“What a pity…” Niu Ben sighed. Around his body, a large amount of white ash appeared and fell from the sky, a terrifying sight, as if the heavens were lamenting the passing of a path to immortality and the golden core.

He didn't know if it was because this generation of Xinzhai was stronger than the ancients, or because his flawless immortal seed was slightly inferior to the ancients, but he failed to destroy his opponent with a single blow.

Even with the difference in cultivation level, Niu Ben was still unable to defeat his opponent.

"Heh..." The granulation tissue on Chen Xuan's body surface surged, healing the wound and expelling the strands of external force that had seeped into his flesh and bones, but the situation was far from good.

He tilted his head, staring silently at the other person.

Niu Ben exhaled and slowly spoke: "I have roamed the Western Lands for over sixty years, relying on my Immortal Seed Golden Core, and have never been defeated. Today, you have destroyed my Immortal Seed Golden Core, and my future cultivation path will be as difficult as ascending to heaven, but..."

He paused for a moment, then sneered, "So what? Even if I lose my Golden Core and Dao Controlling Power, I can still sweep through this Mountain and Sea Banquet and take away the Supreme Fortune all by myself... Everything that has been lost will eventually be made up for."

People gasped in astonishment. Even after losing his foundation in the Great Dao, Niu Ben still possessed an invincible spirit that seemed destined to conquer the world!
"Your fasting will be of no use to me from now on."

A relieved smile spread across Niu Ben's face, and his booming voice echoed through the sky like thunder. He said, "It is said that Xinzhai can sever the cycle of reincarnation and erase all traces. It sounds impressive, but... it's time to send you on your way."

So what if Xinzhai can trace back to the source and eliminate all traces?
He will not die at the hands of the other party, not even once; he will not give Xinzai any chance to have an effect.

Although he lost his Immortal Seed and Golden Core, the foundation he had accumulated in the first half of his life through his Immortal Seed aptitude and the resources of Jilei Mountain remained. He still had an overwhelming advantage over everyone at the Mountain and Sea Banquet.

“Heh…” Chen Xuan stared at him and chuckled.

Immediately, a broken, bluish-white token fell from his sleeve. He gently broke off a piece of jade paste and chewed it.

The immortal body recovers from its injuries rather slowly, so the Jade Ointment is needed to speed up the healing process.

"boom!"

Suddenly, hundreds of slender figures in ink appeared between heaven and earth. Their long, flowing hair, reaching their waists, danced wildly as they unleashed supreme divine powers. Moreover, each graceful figure formed intricate hand seals.

Great Evolution Mysterious Spear Finger!
Hundreds of fingers, as numerous as mountains, emerged from the void in all directions, pointing towards Niu Ben at the very center.

This is one of Liu Shuang's strongest killing moves. Hundreds of top-tier Immortal Techniques at the Divine Ascension level are unleashed simultaneously, locking onto the enemy. Who can withstand such an attack?!

"eye!"

Niu Ben was furious. Liu Shuang, that stupid witch, had secretly locked onto him while he was fighting for his life with Xin Zhai, and had unleashed such a merciless killing move.

"You're asking for it!" he roared, forced to retaliate.

"Old Niu, stop now! There are True Lords everywhere outside," Liu Shuang sincerely advised, but her killing moves continued unabated, completely overwhelming her opponent.

There was a bang.

Blood rained down, but Niu Ben still swept through the enemy, shattering Liu Shuang's carefully prepared killing move, breaking through the encirclement of a hundred immortal techniques, and tearing open Liu Shuang's Ascension Ground with his horns.

"I have done all I could! If you are to be reincarnated, do not confuse me with Niu Ben!" Liu Shuang said, her face pale as she lay dying from her severe injuries.

However, she did not use her last bit of divine power to heal her injuries. Instead, she made her stance clear. The last words of the Imperial Qi Token floated across the entire ascension platform like wind chimes, reaching everyone's ears.

Followed by.

"Life is unpredictable, and this trip has been in vain..." she sighed, a hint of relief in her expression. She then self-destructed on the spot, and a mottled immortal seed golden core turned into ashes and scattered with the wind.

Liu Shuang thought to herself that even if Niu Ben killed everyone on the Ascension Platform, the wrath of the True Lords and the ancient Daoist temples outside would not fall on her.

“Niu Ben is too powerful and a great enemy of ours. We must eliminate him… Xin Zhai has completed his mission and destroyed his immortal seed and golden core. The opportunity has come.” In the distance, Yu Tianzi and his group approached the battlefield. From his sleeve, a slender blue dragon swam out and raised its majestic dragon head.

“It’s time to make a move.” Nan Mian nodded solemnly.

Niu Ben has lost his strongest support, his strength is severely damaged, and Xin Zhai also seems to be in bad shape. This is the best opportunity.

Everyone had a premonition that a supreme opportunity was about to appear, and if they didn't act now, they might miss a golden chance. It was time to enter the fray and fight.

"hold head high!"

A dragon's roar shook the void, the azure sky was covered, and a noble azure dragon roared to the sky, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, looking down at the battlefield.

Emperor Yu rode a blue dragon onto the stage, his imperial robes fluttering, and proclaimed loudly, "Next, it's my turn to wrap things up."

Many people exclaimed in surprise, "The newcomer is the young emperor of the Great Yu of Zhongzhou! He's still alive!"

Immediately afterwards, a great sun rose into the sky, surrounded by golden crows, shining brightly alongside the other sun, the two suns stretching across the sky.

The Southern Crown is here!

The sound of Taoist chanting lingered, and the robes of the immortals billowed, as if a celestial being had descended to earth. They walked with divine steps, ethereal and otherworldly, untouched by worldly concerns.

"Fellow Daoists, with the heavens above and the earth below," he said with a gentle smile, forming a hand seal, "you are all within the palm of my hand."

Chen Xuan had a keen sense of perception; under the sunlight, he had already noticed the group's approach.

"It's time to end this, Old Niu, kneel down before me!" Emperor Yu shouted. Although the opponent was of a higher realm, he had lost his Golden Core and was no longer afraid. A small seal appeared in his hand, surging with imperial aura.

At first, the golden seal showed no power, but as blood flowed from his wrist, the seal revived, emitting the Daoist sound of the Human Emperor and releasing its supreme power.

This was his protective artifact. When he brought it into the Mountain and Sea Banquet, it was cleansed several times by the Dao Palace. This little seal is unimaginable!

At this moment, Emperor Yu activated a special technique from beyond the heavens, reviving a trace of the power of the small seal, intending to suppress Niu Ben and end the great battle completely.

"The Great Yu Immortal Emperor's immortal weapon, the Human Emperor Seal? Or is it a mysterious giant weapon?" Someone exclaimed in shock. The Great Yu Little Emperor, who had "no inheritance," actually possessed such a protective divine object!

If the Mountain and Sea Banquet hadn't washed away the traces of external forces on the attendees, each of these direct descendants of ancient Taoist lineages would have possessed earth-shattering power.

It should be noted that even Su Fuyao, who is currently powerless to fight, has hidden several incomparably powerful True Monarch-level sword intents within her black and white swords. If other True Monarch figures do not take action, who dares to say that they can definitely defeat the Sword Fairy?
"You think an ancient weapon can suppress me, a god? Not good enough!" Niu Ben roared. In an instant, a chaotic iron rod, about ten feet long, flew out from the [Ji Lei Cave Heaven]. He gripped the rod with one hand and swept it with great force.

At this moment, the primordial energy surged forth, and countless black winds, gleaming with dark light, blasted away the descending [Human Emperor Seal], causing the Human Emperor's might to dissipate completely.

Many people gasped in astonishment. This was the supreme divine weapon of the Jilei Mountain sect, the Chaos Iron Cudgel!
On the other side, the Imperial Immortal gently pushed the Azure Heaven Crown on his head, and a stream of chaotic Dao Qi shot out into the sky. Countless Dao principles intertwined like silk threads, the Dao rhythm flowed, and the Qi gave rise to all laws.

"With this technique, I seek the inheritance of the Accumulated Thunder." As his clear voice fell, the wisp of chaotic Dao Qi suddenly split into three distinct figures of ancient Daoists, standing at the positions of Heaven, Earth, and Man!
The Three Dharma Forms of Jade Purity, Supreme Purity, and Great Purity!

The three ancient figures, some wielding the Heavenly Dao, some controlling the killing, and some manipulating creation, all had blurred and indescribable faces. Moreover, all three seemed to possess their own consciousness, sharing similarities with the deities of destiny!

"My God, this is the legendary Daoist Venerable Method, One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones. Nan Mian has cultivated to a very high level." Everyone was stunned.

Xiao Qingtian originates from the Dao Ancestor's lineage, and all Daoist practices under heaven consider him to be the pinnacle!

Niu Ben's expression changed drastically. He had just blocked one attack when another Supreme Technique came. Moreover, the other immortals had only barely mastered the moves of the Supreme Divine Power, but Nan Mian seemed to have mastered the Dao Venerable Technique!

He fought back with all his might, but suffered a heavy blow, his blood spilling across the sky. He roared, for these former peak vessels had just ascended to godhood, and their strength had now surpassed that of Liushuang in every aspect!
boom!
Just then, the heavens and earth trembled violently. In the distance, the divine moon hung in the sky, and a radiant glass bead streaked across the void. Yao Feiyue's [Great Luo Heaven], carrying the Heaven-Mending Divine Technique, crashed down upon them!

"The Demon Scarlet Moon has arrived!" People were terrified.

Further away, golden lightning floated in the air, a sword swept across the nine heavens, a goddess scattered flowers, and the three mountains and five peaks obeyed her command. There was also a plague that soared into the sky, and a purple-clad demon's sleeves fluttered... Countless powerful figures had not yet arrived when they launched their attacks from a great distance.

One after another, the most promising and outstanding figures gathered together, and without any hesitation, they all launched their killing blows at Niu Ben.

"Those who block my way shall die, then I shall slaughter you all—" Niu Ben said, taking out a celestial pill and swallowing it. Then, he returned to the [Ji Lei Cave Heaven] and swallowed it in one gulp.

Those who practice Qi plunder the essence of heaven and earth and integrate it into their bodies. At this moment, Niu Ben's soul, body, and everything else, including his ascension to godhood, all merge into one in an instant.

"Is this a breakthrough in the face of battle, a leap to the heavens?" Many people exclaimed, this scene was truly astonishing.

With Niu Ben's talent, reaching this age means he's only one step away from the Divine Ascension Realm.

"No, breaking through to the Divine Realm isn't that simple; it's the effect of that strange pill!" Someone's face turned grim. Niu Ben, through some special means descended from the heavens, devoured the sky and earth, brutally refining the newly revived [Thunder Accumulation Cave Heaven].

To outsiders, this is seen as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs, a cruel and unacceptable practice!

"boom!"

The place was in an uproar, with huge cracks crisscrossing the void. Niu Ben was determined to suppress all enemies with his high cultivation level. Even without the Immortal Seed and Golden Core, his foundation and accumulated strength remained, making him invincible.

"You few newly promoted Divine Travelers are far from enough!" His eyes were filled with tears of blood, and a black iron banana leaf fan flew out from above his head. With a gentle shake, a gale swept away the immortal energy that stretched for thousands of miles.

The power of the colossal weapons wielded by the cauldron and the newly advanced Divine Traveler is incomparable to that of the colossal weapons used by someone of his level; their divine might is many times weaker.

In an instant, the Emperor's Seal of Yu was swept away by the divine wind generated by the banana leaf fan.

"Has he emptied Jilei Mountain's foundation with another treasure of the sect, the Giant God Weapon?!" people exclaimed.

Both the Chaos Iron Rod and the Mysterious Iron Banana Leaf Fan are items controlled by the True Lords of Jilei Mountain, but now they have appeared in Niu Ben's hands at the same time.

“The great lords of Mount Jilei have placed all their hopes for the future of the Dao on him.” Someone was startled and realized this.

Most of the other immortals with destiny came here to change their fate, but Niu Ben aimed directly at the leader, and the powerful True Lord of Jilei Mountain behind him fully supported him.

After all, everyone knows that Niu Ben is the most promising candidate to take the top spot and seize the destiny!

"Boom!" The ascension platform trembled violently, and a massive battle broke out. Blood rained down, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, ghosts wailed and gods howled, and a scene of utter devastation unfolded.

Niu Ben wielded a fine iron rod and rode a divine fan, employing supreme-level techniques. Few could rival him, and everyone was unwilling to retreat, falling like blood-red raindrops.

"Kill!" Chen Xuan also moved, unleashing his full power.

At this moment, he revealed another side of his Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body without reservation. With his six arms outstretched, he held several treasures, including the Human Emperor Banner, the Bronze Mirror, and the True Lord Sword.

At the same time, he took out the Divine Stone Embryo. The Divine Stone Embryo sensed the danger and opened a pair of golden eyes.

"Slay!" The ethereal voice of the fragments from the Classic of Mountains and Seas rang out from her mouth.

Enter the Dragon!

……

Meanwhile, the outside world.

On the Central Plains, in an ancient mountain, a majestic figure resembling a unicorn awakens from its slumber. Immediately, a cold and dignified voice resounds, drifting across the solemn atmosphere of the Five Directions Land.

“Liu Shuang has been reincarnated, everyone… there’s no need to wait any longer, let’s make our move.” The True Monarch-level being spoke.

The entire land of the five directions began to move.
