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

Chapter 375 Chaos Begins

Chen Xuan made his move, and a giant hand formed from Dou Qi casually slapped down, covering half of the lake. A dozen or so demons fell like dumplings.

Ji Youbing was somewhat dumbfounded. These demons came from different forces, and each of them was a direct descendant of a demon sect with a powerful background. Yet Chen Xuan suppressed them so forcefully. This was truly a case of not daring to touch a tiger's tail.

"boom!"

From the bottom of the lake, a male demon emerged from the water and met Chen Xuan's large hand. He did not dare to fight with his true form, but instead held a large silver mace, which shot out streaks of blood-red divine light as he swung it out.

None of these demons were weak; some were high-level cultivators at the Tongtian Realm, while the weakest were ordinary Divine Travelers.

"Crack!"

However, Chen Xuan's large hand was like a collapsing snow mountain, indestructible. The silver mace was pressed down and shattered inch by inch, the divine iron turning into fragments that scattered and fell.

"Quickly activate the [Immortal Jade Talisman Armor]!" a demon cultivator roared from beneath the lake.

"He didn't use the Heavenly Fate Mirror at all!" A demon howled in fear. Chaos reigned beneath the lake as the demon's body, which had traveled there in spirit, disintegrated, staining the lake surface crimson with blood.

The immortal armor pieces that fell from the Mountain and Sea Banquet were specifically used to resist the Ten Thousand Worlds Venerable. Although they could only play a limited role, they were still treasures that every True Lord possessed. Some of the surplus were bestowed upon their successors.

"This..." The demon cultivator holding the mace changed color and was about to flee, but Chen Xuan did not give him a chance at all. His snow-capped hand fell down and grabbed him firmly.

"Ah!" the demon roared, trying his best to unleash his divine soul and body's power to manifest the laws of heaven and earth, but the giant hand was too tough, causing his expanding body to collapse and crumble like a crumpled piece of paper.

Although he was not a demon from the Southern Region, he had heard the rumors about Taixu from more than two months ago.

The opponent once used the Heavenly Fate Mirror to suppress more than a dozen people at the End of the Divine Realm, overpowering those at the Thorough Earth Realm, and then killed them.

Therefore, they specifically brought the [Immortal Jade Talisman Armor] to counter the Heavenly Fate Mirror, which allowed them to unleash their full power. However, they did not expect that the opponent would not even use the Heavenly Fate Mirror and would suppress them with one hand.

"boom!"

Chen Xuan crushed it, blood gushing from his large hand, mixed with fragments of divine light, falling in a shower. His large hand continued to press down, covering all the other demon cultivators.

"How dare you! You dare to kill someone over a mere verbal dispute!" A powerful cultivator at the Tongtian Realm shouted from beneath the lake.

"What's there to be afraid of? I've given you a chance, but you're courting death!" Chen Xuan remained unmoved, his large hand pressing down completely, grabbing them all and crushing their bones, causing blood to gush out.

"Keng!"

Suddenly, a whistling sound rang out. The sound wasn't very loud, but it sent chills down everyone's spines, making their bodies feel as if they were about to be torn apart.

Weapons that intertwine to create order!

On the opposite shore of the lake, a silver-white blade of light appeared, emanating a faint aura of a True Lord. A demon god was wielding a True Lord-level treasure, and with a single slash, it was like the light of the primordial beginning, causing everyone's bodies and souls to shatter.

"boom!"

Chen Xuan focused his mind, swung his cyan-gold fist, and punched forward. He knew that these dozen or so demon cultivators were just pawns who came to talk trash and provoke him, while the demon behind the scenes was on the other side of the lake.

His entire body transformed into a nine-colored divine light and rushed forward.

"Keng!"

A second, primordial blade of light appeared, and the figure of a wolf god with white hair dancing in the wind emerged. Tianlangzi drew his sword, and the entire Banquet Immortal Garden was silently shattered. The lake water split open, and various runes and magic arrays in the garden were disintegrating.

A boundless spiritual journey!

Many cultivators in the garden were watching the spectacle, and upon seeing this, they all changed color. It was clear that this level of combat had gone "out of line," and even the formation in the Banquet Immortal Garden, which was specifically designed for combat duels, had lost its stability.

"Go and summon Aunt Huaisheng, go and summon the guardian generals of the Demon Suppression Division. Tonight, not a single demon shall leave Yanxian Garden!" Ji Youbing ordered coldly upon seeing this.

"You're courting death!" On the other side of the lake, Tianlangzi saw Chen Xuan attacking and a cold smile appeared on his face. He had a jade talisman hanging above his head and slashed out with the True Monarch Demon Blade in his hand.

"Keng!"

The third blade of light, as if splitting the heavens and earth, shattered the void, causing plague mist to surge, ghosts and gods to intertwine, and the blade light to soar into the sky, engulfing the area.

Black blade light flashed everywhere, slashing out from Tianlangzi's hand. This was a True Monarch's treasure weapon interwoven with the laws of the Dao, extremely terrifying. The Limitless Divine Travel realm could activate this level of treasure weapon to fight, with the Dao rhythm and laws filling the world.

"boom!"

The sky trembled, and Chen Xuan charged forward without hesitation, his immortal body resisting the barrage of sword light. Moreover, he also possessed a True Monarch-level treasure.

The black sword gleamed coldly, sharp and ancient, with feather-like Dao patterns appearing on its blade. It could cut through anything, slicing through the light of the blade, and appeared before Tianlangzi in an instant.

"Zheng!"

After Chen Xuan advanced to the Divine Realm, he was able to initially unleash the divine power of the True Monarch Sword. The black sword deflected the demon blade, and then, a palm shrouded in nine-colored divine light struck out, sending Tianlangzi flying like a cannonball and smashing a distant immortal pavilion.

"brush!"

With a surge of sword energy, Chen Xuan retrieved the opponent's True Monarch Demon Blade and claimed it for himself. The White Emperor Sword Scripture possesses the power to control weapons and excels at capturing treasures. True Monarch-level treasures are extremely precious and rare in the world; even the two Realm Lords do not possess treasures of this caliber.

"You commit murder and plunder at will, no wonder you can cultivate Doubu Qi. What makes you so confident in cultivating Doubu Qi?!" Another fierce ape howl rang out, and the powerful aura of the Limitless Divine Travel permeated the air.

With a loud boom, a large black hand covered in hair, wielding a golden Sky-Supporting Staff, swept out from the Immortal Pavilion, causing a surge of air currents, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing.

The battle has reached its limit!

The extremely warlike Doubu Demon has appeared. This is the infamous Hunshi Longbi Ape from the Western Lands, whose strength can break all laws.

"Monkeys, you've been kneeling beneath the Celestial Palace for millions of years, what right do you have to say such things!" Chen Xuan unleashed his Chaos Iron Cudgel and charged at them.

The sound of the two sticks colliding was earth-shattering, the torrents surged, and countless waves surged forth.

"Oh no, it's the Ape Demon King from Tongbi Mountain!" In a distant, swaying pavilion, both Big and Little Six-Ears changed their expressions.

Among the six or seven ancient ape lineages in the Western Lands, including Zhu Yan and the Four Chaos Apes, the Six-Eared Ape is skilled in communicating with spirits, investigating inner demons, and listening to the six realms, while the Long-Armed Ape can grasp the sun and moon, shrink mountains, and break through all laws. This is the ape demon lineage most skilled in direct combat.

"Thousand Mountain Arms!" The Long-Armed Ape Demon King used his activated Sky-Supporting Staff to block the Chaos Iron Staff. Then, his arms transformed into phantoms, covering the enemy with overwhelming force.

Each punch was like a mountain falling into the sky, evolving into countless martial arts diagrams, like ten thousand horses galloping, ready to crush the opponent.

"Azure Dragon Fist!" Chen Xuan was fearless. He activated the fully developed Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body, wielding the Azure Dragon Fist with both fists, breaking through the myriad beams of light from the Tongbi Fist, and attacking forward.

"boom!"

Thousands upon thousands of unparalleled fists clashed violently, the impact resounding like thunder throughout the capital, a scene of intense heat.

The Long-Armed Ape Demon King's hair stood on end like steel needles. With his unparalleled fighting spirit, he clashed head-on with the opponent's fully-developed Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body, creating chaos and destruction.

Chen Xuan's divine power never dries up; his arms twist like a green dragon, piercing through the void and shattering the sky.

This time, he didn't use the Heavenly Fate Mirror to suppress them, but faced the strongest group of beings below the True Monarch level head-on.

"Rumble..."

This was a thrilling and earth-shattering duel, as if it had pierced through the heavens.

The former is a Doubu Tongbi Ape who specializes in physical strength and power. Its tendons and bones are a hundred times tougher than those of a Red Dust Weapon of the same level. The latter, although a newly promoted Divine Traveler, relies on the perfected Five Treasures Martial Immortal Body. Even though there is a difference of nine realms, it is still not at a disadvantage.

This was a scene of earth-shattering power. Every punch they threw was like a great dragon piercing through the sky and the earth, brilliant and intense, the light of their fists illuminating most of the imperial capital. "Give me back my True Monarch Demon Blade!" In the distance, a huge white wolf, as large as a mountain, pounced out, covered in blood, and attacked Chen Xuan.

"boom!"

Chen Xuan, dressed in white, looked like a god. He turned around and threw a punch. His blood energy, like a real dragon, surged from his body and rushed towards the white wolf.

"Ah!" Tianlangzi was sent flying backward, crashing through palaces and pavilions along the way, smashing through courtyard walls, and a huge bloody hole was torn open in his chest.

Although both are at the limit, Tianlangzi's performance on the front lines is not even in the same league as that of the Long-Armed Ape Demon King.

After all, Bai Qi Sword Official, Dou Bu Tian Yao, and others are among the few beings who have the potential to catch up with other immortals of the same level in terms of combat power.

"Nine Transformations to Support the Heavens!" The Long-Armed Ape Demon King roared in fury, revealing his true form: a red-faced man with fangs and bone spurs growing from his back. He grabbed the blazing sun with one hand and the bright moon with the other.

He unleashed his full power, wielding the sun and moon, his movements sweeping and powerful, his murderous aura soaring to the heavens, shattering all the clouds above.

"Come!" Chen Xuan also unleashed his true fighting spirit, fully activating his immortal body, his blood and qi soaring to the heavens, like a furnace for refining the world, with tens of thousands of streams of blood and qi stirring the heavens and earth.
The White Tiger roars, the Celestial Phoenix dances in the sky, the Azure Dragon howls, the Black Tortoise treads the world... Each breath manifests a different divine scene, exuding the vast and ancient aura of mountains and seas.

"boom!"

Chen Xuan's nine-colored fist light was terrifying, shattering the sun and moon of the Cangshan Mountain in front of him, blasting the Long-Armed Ape Demon King into the ground, causing palaces and pavilions to collapse in large numbers, shattering all the engraved array runes, and staining the earth red with blood rain.

Just how powerful is his physical body? Is this the supreme divine might of the Shangyang Immortal Body?
"Truly worthy of being one of the champions of the Mountain and Sea Banquet." This scene was breathtaking and made people gasp.

"You've discovered that Qingnang Daozi doesn't seem to have ascended to the Divine Realm; he's relying entirely on his own strength to fight!" A veteran Divine Traveler exclaimed in surprise, noticing something astonishing.

"This... his Divine Journey has gone wrong?" People were shocked, but this "flawed" newcomer to the Divine Journey had knocked down the Fighting Division's Limit and gained a huge advantage.

"Roar!"

The Long-Armed Ape Demon King roared, covered in blood, and crawled out of the underground crack. He was still extremely ferocious, and his expression became even more violent.

Chen Xuan landed and unleashed a powerful strike with the Azure Emperor Dragon Seal. The azure-gold palm slapped him so hard that his bones creaked, and he coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground.

He stood with his feet on the chest of the Long-Armed Ape Demon King, leaned slightly forward, and looked down at his opponent with a smile in his eyes, yet his sharpness was as keen as a divine sword.

"Do you have any more demons? I'll give you a little more time to call some more demons over," he said.

In the sky, the Chaos Iron Cudgel struck down the Sky-Supporting Cudgel, which had lost control of its opponent, and suppressed it. It was also a treasure crafted by a True Monarch, and was priceless.

“You…” The Long-Armed Ape Demon King coughed up blood, his eyes glazed over.

In this world, the lower-level cultivators who attack the higher-level cultivators do so by using the twelve immortal qi, each with its own strengths, or by employing treasures and other means, to attack the enemy's weakest point with their own strongest point.

The problem is that the opponent's strongest point is his immortal body, while the Doubu demon is also good at physical strength. This is not a case of the strong attacking the weak, but rather the strong attacking the strong. How can they turn the tables?

It should be noted that a fighting demon of this quality is not really afraid of a celestial being like Zhao Xuanding from the Dan Ding Daoist Temple in a direct battle. After all, Zhao Xuanding was just a celestial being who cultivated the Wood Virtue Qi and whose Golden Core was severely incomplete.

Moreover, when the opponent was defeated by Feixinzhai, could his cultivation level have reached the sixth level of the Divine Travel Realm? He couldn't even unleash one level of his strength!
But now, even at its full potential, it still lost so decisively, which was unacceptable to the demon.

"My God, is this the strength of the leader of the Mountain and Sea Banquet? No wonder he is hailed as the young supreme being!"

In the distance, everyone was dumbfounded. Qingnang Daozi was too powerful. He suppressed two experts at the peak of cultivation in succession, and he seemed calm and collected. There wasn't even a drop of blood on his clothes.

"I had heard that he had defeated a group of Taixu Gods in Yunmeng Great Swamp. I originally thought it was all due to the power of the Heavenly Weapon, but even without using the Heavenly Weapon, he was still so powerful."

Some Qi practitioners from the Southern Region were amazed, deeply moved, and discussed the matter extensively.

"Hmm?" Chen Xuan put away the opponent's True Monarch-level Sky-Supporting Staff, looked around, and then lowered his head to ask, "Monkey, where are your other helpers?"

"A demon's actions are the demon's responsibility!" The Long-Armed Ape Demon King, his mouth full of blood, responded sternly.

Their initial choice of the other party as their target was the best option under various circumstances, but they never expected to run into such a tough opponent!
Now, instead of using their power to suppress the other side and ruin the grand ceremony of the Grand Ceremony, these demons themselves have become the laughingstock.

"The Demon Bone of the Fighting Division is indeed quite tough."

Chen Xuan spoke, narrowing his eyes and smiling, "However, I heard that among the targets you chose, there are Limitless Immortal Seeds."

Wanguofang was small, and Yanxianyuan was even smaller. These demons were secretly talking about and plotting against him, which was practically the same as them openly and loudly plotting in front of him.

Although many direct descendants of the demon sects carry treasures that can prevent the Taiyin Qi from spying on them, ultimately... the distance is too close.

“You…” The Long-Armed Ape Demon King’s pupils contracted.

"Crack!" Chen Xuan's foot pressed down like a heavy mountain, crushing the opponent's chest, which was as tough as divine iron. The ribs and the blood-red heart were crushed, and blood burst forth.

At the same time, two beams of divine light burst forth from his eyes: the all-seeing solar energy and the unerring yin energy, which poured into the mind of the Long-Armed Ape Demon King.

"boom!"

Just then, in the sky outside the Immortal Banquet Garden, a man and a woman, two enormous divine soul avatars rose up, their earth element aura shimmering and radiant. The ultimate divine journey of the Great Ceremony had arrived.

The former, clad in divine armor and holding a pagoda, is a guardian general of the Demon Suppression Division, while the other woman, Shenyou, comes from the Imperial Palace of the Great Ceremony. She wears a golden palace dress that radiates precious light, and her lips are stained with blood, making her the most beautiful woman in the world.

"Finally here!" Ji Youbing breathed a sigh of relief. The beautiful woman in the palace dress, with a cold face, pressed down with her jade hand and cast an earth element formation, suppressing and imprisoning the heavily injured Tianlangzi in the distance.

"Qingnang Daozi, leave this to us. Please go back to your quarters and rest. Huaisheng will apologize to you later for this unexpected incident," the beautiful woman said.

As soon as the two divine beings of the Great Gift appeared, they immediately took over the battlefield and dealt with the aftermath.

……

The capital city is no ordinary place. Although small-scale duels are allowed in the Banquet Immortal Garden, this level of fighting clearly exceeds the limits, and even the formations meant to block the aftershocks of the duel have been completely shattered.

However, although the Ji family quickly sent Zhijing Shenyou to the scene, they still seemed to react rather slowly.

"If she is Princess Huaisheng, then who is the Ji family princess who was knocked away earlier?"

Chen Xuan released his foot, handing over the bloodied and barely breathing Ape Demon King to the arriving Demon Suppression Division cultivators, but his heart was filled with suspicion.

He turned his head and looked, but the princess wearing the Qilin mask had already disappeared into the crowd.

……

Chen Xuan returned to his residence, but the details of the battle spread throughout the entire capital city in an instant, leaving many people speechless and then deep in thought.

Not long after, Princess Ji Huaisheng, Ji Youbing, and others came to visit.

"The demon who instigated the Ape Demon King, the Heavenly Wolf Child, and others to deliberately cause chaos was Little Ming King Kong Xuan," Ji Youbing said solemnly, recounting the information obtained from the interrogation.

"Little Ming King is a demon immortal, almost perfect. His father was the first near-immortal demon true lord in the Western Land."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan pondered for a moment, and then his gaze unconsciously shifted to Princess Ji Huaisheng, who had once outshone a generation of beauties in the Central Plains.

"Daozi?" Ji Huaisheng asked, puzzled by the other's gaze.

"Hmm?" Chen Xuan was also puzzled by the other party's reaction.

"There have been some rumors lately..." Chen Xuan asked Ji Youbing, "Who is the Daoist partner you've prepared for your family?"
