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

Chapter 338 The Brilliant Prodigy Has Gone Far Away
Outside, the earth shook violently in all directions, and various ethereal sounds drifted through the sky and the Great Ruins.

"Did Liushuang perish and reincarnate before reaching the final step?" a True Lord responded, his voice filled with doubt.

Other divine journeys and reincarnations are understandable, but the fall of Liushuang is extremely strange... Although the supreme destiny is good, a demon with Liushuang's identity and background would not be blinded by greed, and it is not worth risking one's life for it.

After all, even if she doesn't obtain the supreme fortune, she still has a guaranteed future as a True Monarch.

"The Sparrow King has never been reincarnated."

"Liu Chenqiang and Niu Ben have not been reincarnated either... Perhaps Liu Shuang died unexpectedly?" You Yao Zhenjun spoke up, because Liu Shuang's reincarnated spiritual light was too weak to glean the inside story of the Mountain and Sea Banquet through it.

"Whose disciples would risk their lives to fight against a divine being? Xinzhai? Wanshizun? They may be fierce, but they are not stupid."

"It was definitely not an accident..."

"The Celestial Palace has its sights set on the Supreme Creation."

“Fellow Daoists of the Tu De, Dou Wen, and others should continue to lie low... The immortals of the Immortal Palace have already decayed; they can no longer cover the sky.”

"What exactly is the Supreme Creation?" A True Monarch from a Supreme-level Daoist Temple asked. If it were just inherited artifacts such as spells and scriptures, some ancient Daoist lineages would covet them and would like to have as many as possible, but ultimately, they would not lack them.

"I don't know... but it's natural for us to get involved in what the Celestial Palace is eyeing."

"That makes sense, we should start making preparations."

In a very short time, some powerful figures reached a consensus and took action.

……

A feast of mountains and seas.

With a whoosh, demonic energy surged forth, and Niu Ben, like a divine god of justice, swept away enemies from all directions with his staff, stirring up a bloody rain that shook the heavens.

The Chaos Iron Rod and the Mysterious Iron Banana Leaf Fan are both colossal divine weapons, ancient treasures of the Daoist tradition, usually only qualified to wield and revive some of their divine power.

Rumor has it that this level of treasure possesses a mature weapon spirit!

But at this moment, Niu Ben relied on his own strength to awaken the giant weapon. It was too powerful. With a casual strike, it shook the heavens and the earth.

"boom!"

Holding the Divine Stone Embryo, Chen Xuan went to meet it. Behind him, a large pillar of sunlight followed him like a shadow, projecting the power of time, and actually withstood the swinging Chaos Iron Cudgel.

Between the two, fragments of the Dharma Chain burst forth, creating a hazy scene that caused the Ascension Platform to tremble violently.

This sight truly astonished everyone; what kind of divine object was this!
The Chaos Iron Rod was nothing to worry about; its terrifying nature was known throughout the world, and the True Lords of Jilei Mountain throughout the ages had used it to roam the Western Lands.

But what exactly is that humanoid stone sculpture in Shinzai's hand? It's as white as jade, yet it's incredibly powerful.

This divine stone embryo was merely passively responding to the attack, but in the collision, it rippled out a dazzling brilliance like jade dust, gentle and sacred.

"What treasure?" Emperor Yu was dumbfounded when he found the Emperor's Seal. "The ancient spirit of this treasure has awakened on its own?"

He was puzzled. Without the assistance of a True Monarch, people of their level would find it extremely difficult to activate even a fraction of the divine power of an ancient artifact. Yet, Xinzhai had managed to block Niu Ben's Chaos Iron Cudgel, which was truly strange.

One Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones!

Yu Zhe Xian made his move again. The three ancient Taoist figures chanted and jointly summoned a blue-gold alchemy furnace. Brilliant stars flew out of the furnace, each one heavier than ten thousand mountains combined, pressing down on people and suffocating them.

The giant divine weapon of the Immortal Emperor unleashed its power, blocking the [Mysterious Iron Banana Leaf Fan] above Niu Ben's head!
As you can see, the void is shattering inch by inch. The alchemy furnace contains the ultimate laws of Taoism, just like a re-enactment of the scene of ancient Qi practitioners refining immortal pills. The furnace refines the universe!
If it were any other being in the sixth level of the Divine Realm, they would be unable to withstand the divine power of the alchemy furnace. With just this one strike, they would be mercilessly refined and would be unable to escape, turning into a handful of furnace ash.

"Wow!"

The black iron banana leaf fan spun rapidly and was immediately sucked into the alchemy furnace, where it was burned red and blue by the fire of the sun god.

But Niu Ben lived up to his reputation as a peerless god-demon, and seemed to have broken through to a higher realm in one step, fighting against the three prodigies single-handedly, yet he remained calm and composed.

He wielded a single iron rod to block Chen Xuan's fierce attack, and then used a banana leaf fan to restrain Yu Zhexian. Immediately afterwards, he roared to the sky, and the roar transformed into a purple-black pillar of light that pierced through the heavens, blasting Yu Tianzi into the ground and continuing to wear him down.

"The strength of the Ox God is beyond our ability to fight." Someone exclaimed in a trembling voice.

Boom!

Heaven and earth collapsed, the Great Luo Heaven descended, and five-colored divine stones flew out, transforming into five dazzling divine chains that tightly bound Niu Ben's legs, one arm, neck, and waist, applying a sealing force.

"How dare a demon question all the paths under heaven? Even the immortals are not as arrogant as you!" Yao Feiyue arrived riding the divine moon. At this moment, she revealed her majestic Dharma form, with golden eyes, wildly dancing hair, and a huge snake tail wrapped around the divine moon. Her divine appearance was terrifying and unparalleled.

"Xinzhai and the others have the Bull Demon King in check. Don't let him catch his breath!" many people shouted from behind.

Now is not the time to fight alone. If Niu Ben is given a chance to breathe, it will be a disaster for anyone. Only by working together to kill Niu Ben can we have other opportunities.

"kill!"

People attacked from all directions, launching a coordinated attack.

In an instant, all sorts of supreme divine powers and immortal techniques appeared, all of them astonishingly powerful divine powers. Normally, even one of them would leave people speechless, but now all sorts of forbidden divine powers appeared at once.

Some great supernatural powers can only be learned and used by true lords, but now they are emerging one after another, shining brightly.

Chen Xuan roared, his whole body glowing, and a vast divine power surged into the divine stone embryo. He went all out, desperately bombarding his opponent.

He sensed immense danger. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great, and the opponent was a formidable enemy at the Immortal Seed level. Although his Golden Core was destroyed, his foundation remained, and most of the missing parts had been restored. It was as if he were facing a terrifying being on another level.

"Wow!" The Divine Stone's eyes shone with golden light. It hugged the front end of the Chaos Iron Rod with both arms, crying out in pain, but it didn't let go at all.

If it weren't for the indestructible divine stone core, it would be difficult to fight against the opponent.

"kill!"

The Supreme Being of All Ages charged forward, stepping over the Thunder Pool, and unleashed a sword embryo shrouded in golden mist. He unleashed a sword strike that shook the universe, splitting the heavens as if a celestial calamity had descended.

This was just a single sword strike from the cauldron, but when it was unleashed, all magic vanished, almost severing Niu Ben's head. The jade armor covering his neck crumbled, tearing open a large gash, shattering his neck bones, and spraying blood across the sky.

Niu Ben's Immortal Jade Armor cannot completely immunize against the full power of the Supreme Eternal Venerable!

Wherever the Emperor's Heaven Sword light went, it continued to cause damage along its path. Although the range was compressed, it still inflicted heavy and bloody damage on Niu Ben.

"Great virtue carries all things; the Three Mountains and Five Peaks all obey the Emperor's decree!" On the other side, Ji Youbing of the Central Plains Great Li Dynasty appeared, holding a scroll, which he slowly unfurled. Immediately, goddesses scattered flowers, and mountains fell, suppressing Niu Ben, who was being restrained by Xinzhai and others.

Each towering mountain, like a blessed land, radiates divine light. Its weight can crush the void, bending Niu Ben's back and causing his bones to crack.

This is the Yellow Emperor's legacy from the Great Rites Dynasty. Although it is only the most basic technique, once it is forcibly activated, the earth element in the world boils and all obeys the command of one person.

On the other side, a purple-robed demonic giant played his jade flute, the sound carrying murderous intent as it drifted across the sky. There was also another immortal being from the demon race who had always kept to himself, a plant spirit demon whose true form was a snow-white dandelion, who also unleashed a supreme technique.

At this moment, supreme divine powers, or methods comparable to supreme divine powers, emerged one after another, their number too many to count on one hand. These methods were terrifying, and the weather changed drastically.

"Roar!"

Niu Ben roared in anger, his body covered in wounds, and one of his eyes had been blinded. At this moment, he seemed to have become the villain being defeated by a group of young prodigies, and a group of young people would step on his corpse to become famous throughout the world!

"You will all return in thirty years to challenge me!" Niu Ben roared, his body bleeding, yet he still looked down upon the assembled heroes.

Although he had only cultivated the Dao for thirty or forty years longer than other young people, the gains from a day of spiritual cultivation far surpassed those from a day of arduous cultivation in the cauldron.

"boom!"

Niu Ben unleashed his full power, burning his life force. His body glowed, every pore radiating light like volcanoes, devouring the essence of heaven and earth, which entered his body, causing his blood and immortal energy to boil, enabling him to fight against no fewer than ten ultimate prodigies.

"The Bull Magic of Mount Jilei, the true Law of Heaven and Earth!" someone exclaimed in horror. It could be said that, in terms of mastery of combat magic alone, apart from Yu Zhexian, everyone else here was far inferior to Niu Ben!

In that instant, Niu Ben revealed his majestic white ox form, with a head like a towering mountain, eyes like a crimson moon, horns like iron towers, and hooves like mountains, as if an ancient demon had been born, breaking free from Yao Feiyue's five-colored divine chains.

"kill!"

Niu Ben's eyes blazed with boundless divine light, his banana leaf fan trembled violently, opening the alchemy furnace and striking the banished immortal, unleashing his magical powers, even his soul seemed to be blown apart.

With a thunderous kick, he shattered the heavens, shattering the arm of the Eternal Venerable, who flew backward across the sky like a meteor.

He wielded the Chaos Iron Cudgel as if holding a pillar of heaven, the ultimate power of the Dao intertwined, breaking apart the stalemate between Chen Xuan and the Divine Stone Embryo, golden blood splattering everywhere.

"boom!"

Niu Ben swung his stick again, sweeping it in other directions.

Yu Tianzi was terrified and was about to try to resist when the iron rod swept out from his scalp. The surging immortal energy almost ripped his skull off. He felt relieved and extremely lucky!

But then he heard a cracking sound behind him. He turned around and saw that Ji Youbing had been struck by a stick and turned into a pile of minced meat. His body and soul were shattered, leaving only a dim golden core. He quickly hid it in the Ascension Ground.

With just this one blow, Ji Youbing faced a life-or-death ordeal, nearly perishing and disappearing, only managing to save his life by relying on the Divine Ascension Ground.

"Stop him together!"

Many people roared as eight or nine exceptionally powerful geniuses, including Xinzhai, Yuzhexian, Yaofeiyue, Wanshizun, Yutianzi, Jiyoubing, Modaoqingnian, and Pugongying Yaoxianzhong, engaged in a head-on battle with Niu Ben, exchanging injuries.

Meanwhile, the other divine beings dared not approach, and instead unleashed their full power from afar, employing divine arts and treasures, including some of the Heavenly Fate Immortal Seeds and Furnaces with special abilities, such as Su Fuyao and Xiao Hou.

Further afield, many powerful figures rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

"boom!"

Niu Ben swept his staff across the sky, the light of which stretched for thousands of miles, sweeping across all directions. Countless attackers were reduced to ashes, the divine ground shattered, and they died on the spot.

Even some special figures were shattered. Su Fuyao was grazed by the light of the staff, and if Chen Xuan hadn't remembered the old sword master's instructions and appeared to block most of the attack for her, she would have perished on the spot. Xiao Hou turned to ashes, leaving only a wisp of his soul, which was wrapped in the Xuan Ring and carried away into the distance.

"Those who obstruct my path shall die!" Niu Ben roared, his voice like thunder.

How difficult it is to defy the immortal seed!
His cultivation level was simply too high. If his immortal seed and golden core hadn't been destroyed by Xinzhai, greatly diminishing his strength and preventing him from unleashing his full power, then everyone here would probably have already perished, unable to withstand a single blow!
Niu Ben fought a bloody battle, brave and invincible, his blood and spirit soaring to the sky.

Although he was constantly hit and his injuries became more and more serious, he continued to smash the enemy, his divine power was unparalleled!

"Run!" You Shenyou turned and fled, his Dao heart shattered. If it weren't for the Supreme Creation forcibly setting cruel rules, no one would be willing to fight against Niu Ben.

Most of the people here never had the idea of ​​competing for the top spot or seizing the supreme destiny!
"Fellow Daoists, it's time to fight to the death."

At this moment, in the sky above, Yao Feiyue, whose python tail was wrapped around the divine moon, said with no joy or sorrow in her eyes: "Heaven has shown mercy, and all those who were meant to come have come... If we are still defeated, then we have cultivated the Dao in vain."

The will of the Supreme Creator is cold and ruthless, but fair and impartial, and will never favor any side.

Although the four Divine Immortal Seeds possessed the strength to fight against numerous heroes, the Sparrow King died prematurely at the hands of Chen Xuan, and Liu Chenqiang and Liu Shuang also perished, leaving only the strongest, Niu Ben, whose golden core was destroyed.

On the other side, those who suffered little loss and possessed considerable strength had all gathered here.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing the sound, Chen Xuan looked up at the incomparably beautiful Yao Feiyue. Did these geniuses still have a backup plan?
Other newly ascended immortals were equally astonished; clearly, they had already displayed their strongest forms.

"Spreading heresies and misleading the public!" Niu Ben roared, brandishing his banana leaf fan and aiming it at Yao Feiyue. No matter how many wonderful techniques others possessed, he could defeat them all with sheer force!
Yao Feiyue's figure was boundless, and her jade hands held up the Great Luo Heaven. Five-colored immortal stones, gleaming with the golden light of the imperial path, flew out, as if she were mending the sky, and a mythical scene appeared.

"call!"

In the sky, the Southern Emperor was covered in blood, but a rare glint of anger appeared in his eyes as he spoke: "That's what I meant too!"

His entire body was enveloped in golden immortal light, and a perfect golden core was born, sprinkling out a rain of light. Immediately afterwards, a crimson-gold "Dao Furnace" appeared, as vast as a cage of heaven and earth, enveloping everyone in this region. The divine fire of the sun rose, as if to refine everyone.

A more profound and advanced Daoist Dharma!

This is the Immortal Control Dao Method, which many True Lords consider to be the most perfect immortal seed in the world, and it is also a manifestation of his power to suppress all evil spirits!

"Since that scoundrel is getting serious, I, the Emperor, cannot hold back any longer," Emperor Yu said in a deep voice.

His identity was special, and some of his methods were not convenient to reveal to others. But if he continued to hide them now, it might lead to the deaths of everyone because of him.

"hold head high!"

When Emperor Yu made his move, it was like a blue dragon emerging from the abyss. He leaped out, a golden elixir in his mouth, and the imperial seal and an imperial brush in his claws. As he moved, mountains and seas collapsed and heaven and earth trembled, just like an ancient remnant on the move.

This was the awakening of the Azure Dragon's will, emanating a vast and boundless aura that sent shivers down everyone's spines, almost causing them to kneel on the spot.

"I am the Heavenly Dao!" The Venerable One of Ten Thousand Worlds transformed into light and flew away like a golden star. He flew towards Niu Ben in his true form, unleashing the full power of the Heavenly Mandate Technique, as if the Heavenly Dao itself was patrolling the heavens.

At the same time, he activated the Longevity Emperor's Law, and his whole body was enveloped in golden lightning. This was the Four Imperial Laws, which commanded lightning and spirits, and could sweep away all evil demons and heretics.

Di Tian fears no enemy. If the four Divine Immortals hadn't joined forces to outnumber the enemy, he would have challenged Niu Ben alone!
boom!
The area was in complete uproar.

However, besides the four—Yu Zhe Xian, Yao Fei Yue, Yu Tian Zi, and Wan Shi Zun—there are even stronger moves. The other powerful individuals are clearly weakened; although they have switched to other attack methods, the increase in power is very limited.

"hold head high!"

In Chen Xuan's Guyao Mountain, a dragon's roar resounded, and the will of the Candle Dragon seemed to be revived. Immediately afterwards, the Candlelight Sun fell from the sky and landed in his eyes.

The unique "Candle Dragon True Scripture" evolved from the various true scriptures within his body. He fully activated the strongest form of the Candle Dragon Technique, and his pupils suddenly contracted, transforming into a pair of majestic vertical dragon pupils.

Simultaneously.

Chen Xuan's left eye generated a solar barrier, while his right eye revealed a hazy lunar eclipse labyrinth.

This is the second move of the Candle Dragon Technique, "Nightfall." Although it has not been fully mastered, after studying it for a period of time, I forcibly unleashed some of its power at this moment.

Chen Xuan used all his strength, unleashing his most powerful Candle Dragon Technique, and soared into the sky, crashing towards Niu Ben.

On the ascension platform, completely covered by surging immortal energy, five of the most dazzling figures fought with all their might to reach Niu Ben, as if they were about to split the heavens and the earth.

"Buzz!"

Finally, the balance was broken, and the entire ascension platform seemed to collapse, causing irreversible damage. Niu Ben roared, the earth shook, and he did everything in his power to kill all the enemies.

But in the end, he lost his immortal seed and golden core, and could not maintain his explosive power for long. His body began to disintegrate, blood splattered in the void, and his aura rapidly weakened.

"Buzz!"

A brilliant ball of light, carrying a faint aura of mystery, emerged from his body and soared into the sky; the supreme creation had manifested.
"He was finally exhausted..." Niu Ben looked up at the sky and sighed. Chen Xuan, covered in blood, came and held the True Lord Sword. He finally reached him and beheaded Niu Ben with a single blow.

"Boom!" On the other side, Wan Shizun unleashed a sword strike, shattering the flying head of Niu Ben into fragments.

"Haha! A bunch of... villains!" The headless Bull Demon King was still laughing. Even in his last moments of death, he was still fighting. He swung his bronze cudgel, causing the void to collapse and making everyone tremble with fear.

Especially those closest to him, all of them coughed up blood and flew out, including Wan Shizun, Yu Tianzi and other close combatants, they still could not match that divine power.

Both the physical body and the soul were severely damaged, and it would be difficult to heal in a short period of time.

"Boom!" Chen Xuan's immortal body completely disintegrated, but he relied on the Jade Ointment to recover, withstood the final impact of the divine power's aftershocks, and scooped the out-of-control [Chaos Iron Rod] into the Guyao Mountain.

He was about to catch his breath and calm his chaotic energy when, in an instant, several incredibly powerful divine spells descended upon him!

The Bull Demon King perished and lost his life force, and the Supreme Creator manifested in the world.

Without any hesitation, many people instantly turned their attacks on Chen Xuan, who was in extremely poor condition!
