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

Chapter 380 The Pinnacle of the Humanity Fighting Club

High above the heavens, a colossal hand descended from the sky, darkening the heavens. In a trance, a chaotic world appeared, where water, fire, earth, and wind intertwined.

This divine power was terrifying, overwhelming and like a torrent. The cultivators in the capital city felt a chill run through their bodies, as if they would be turned to dust in the next instant.

"puff!"

Ye Kui's face flushed red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Doubu Zhenjun had completely descended upon the mortal world. He could not suppress the Doubu Qi within his body, and his legs trembled. He almost knelt down before Yuan Zhenjun.

Even the rising chosen ones cannot resist the restraint of those who cultivate with the same Qi.

"No!" he roared, his eyes bloodshot, his knees cracking as if his bones were breaking. But he could not kneel. The path of the Fighting Warriors was similar to that of the White Qi Sword Officials; they would rather break than bend. Once they knelt, the consequences would be dire.

This is also why Yuan Zhenjun intervened earlier and directly forced Chen Xuan and Ye Kui to kneel.

Humans can learn to fight, but they cannot learn while standing.

On the other side, Su Fuyao, Yan Yushu, Ji Youbing, and others also encountered difficulties, with Doubu Qi spontaneously generating within their bodies, which they found difficult to resist. Meanwhile, veterans like Qilian and Ji Huaisheng, who had reached the End Realm, were in no better shape, utterly powerless to resist.

Under the True Lord's command, newly promoted Divine Travelers and those at the End of the Divine Travel Realm are no different from ordinary mortals!
"Heh..." Chen Xuan's condition was slightly better. His immortal qi had been refined by the Supreme Creation of the Mountain and Sea Banquet, making it difficult for external forces to invade. However, he was still not doing well. In the four directions of heaven and earth, only the Doubu qi remained, which squeezed in like a mountain torrent and tsunami, as if it would burst him.

"Buzz!"

Chen Xuan immediately summoned the fragments of Gu Yao and Qing Qiu, scattering a soft blue light to counteract the True Lord's pressure on the surrounding Daoists.

"He really dares to leave Taixu alone?!" Ji Huaisheng, Ji Youbing, and other members of the Ji family, having finally caught their breath, immediately said coldly, "A mere True Monarch dares to enter the Imperial Capital? Does he think our family's supreme lineage is just for show?!"

There are dozens of lineages of Taoism related to ancient sages among the human race, but since ancient times, there have only been six lineages of Taoism that are universally recognized as the supreme lineage of the human race!
"Long!"

In an instant, the Earthly Qi in the capital city surged, and golden array patterns expanded outwards from the ground in concentric circles. A corner of the Grand Ceremony's [Mysterious Yellow Earthly Array] was revived in response, and beams of golden light shot into the sky.

Although the great formation is no longer controlled by the Ji family's True Monarch and no longer indiscriminately suppresses the flying cultivators from other places, it is still sensitive to hostile foreign enemies.

"Wow!"

However, a golden and jade-inlaid imperial edict scroll suddenly flew out from the giant hand of the Ape True Lord. As it unfolded, it was filled with surging immortal power and the aura of the immortals shone brightly.

Immediately afterwards, a yellowish-brown array of runes flew down, raining down light and radiating a peaceful and calming suppressive power, resisting a corner of the revived [Xuanhuang Sheji Grand Array].

"Earth Virtue Immortal!" Ji Youbing exclaimed in astonishment. The decree in the hands of Ape True Lord did not come from Doubu Immortal, but from Earth Virtue Immortal of the human race!

"Buzz!"

The [Xuanhuang Sheji Grand Array] slowly calmed down and returned to a state of silence. The decree issued by the Earth Virtue Immortal can put this array to sleep.

"The Earth Immortal has been soaring through the sky for countless years and has long had a way to deal with the Ji family's grand formation!" Many people felt a chill in their hearts. Clearly, unless Emperor Ji personally activated the [Xuanhuang Sheji Grand Formation] with a secret technique, the formation could not be activated again.

If Emperor Ji were to intervene now, the process of becoming an immortal would be interrupted, and all efforts would likely be in vain!

"Is this the supreme power of the True Lord?" In the courtyard, many people felt a chill in their hearts. The True Lord had descended upon the world, and there was no way to resist him. It was too difficult to defy the True Lord.

After all, even the All-Time Venerable, who is said to be able to sweep away everything in ancient history, can only stand firm and remain undefeated when facing the True Lord, but cannot win.

Xinzhai once killed Zhenjun, but the released mourning boy was comparable to Zhenjun in strength on his own.

"Boom!" The Ape True Lord's might pressed down on the heavens, and an enraged palm continued to fall. The Great Dao roared, and endless white air currents crisscrossed the sky, as if this palm would turn the entire imperial capital into ashes.

With this palm strike, no matter how promising a young prodigy or how many centuries it might take to reach the level of a True Monarch, they would be powerless to resist.

When a protagonist who has lived for thousands of years personally takes action against the lower realm, all resistance seems pale and powerless!

Many people felt deep despair, for every True Lord was the most brilliant and extraordinary hero, invincible in the mortal world, and could not be resisted.

"Boom!"

At that very moment, in the courtyard, Chen Xuan, Ye Kui, Ji Huaisheng, and the others were about to devise a plan to counterattack when suddenly they felt a sense of relief as the external pressure disappeared. They all turned their heads and looked towards the distant imperial palace.

"Who?!" someone exclaimed.

"It's that prince!" Ji Youbing and Ji Huaisheng's eyes narrowed, while the other members of the Ji family were completely bewildered, seemingly not recognizing the person.

The royal flag flutters atop the palace walls of the imperial palace.

A slender figure stood against the wind, beating a drum. Her hairpins swayed, her beauty unparalleled, and her nine-colored imperial skirt fluttered in the wind, her elegance breathtaking!

The ancient Qilin war drum that stood upright resounded incessantly, its melodious drumbeats like the horns of war, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"boom!"

Immediately afterwards, an incomparably domineering aura rose from the imperial palace.

With a deafening boom, a peerless fist light, illuminating the heavens and the earth, rose from the imperial palace and defied the heavens.

This punch was like the sun at its zenith, the pinnacle of the fighting force, as if the heavens and earth were about to collapse!
"Ah! Lord Wei!" Lord Yuan Zhen roared in pain as his hand disintegrated, along with his entire arm that had reached out into the mortal world, shattering and splattering blood everywhere.

That was an invincible fist light that laughed at all laws and myriad paths. Looking across the heavens and the earth, through the ages, this was the highest fist of martial arts in the human race today!
"Old Wei!" Ye Kui exclaimed in surprise, straightening his blood-soaked legs.

Chen Xuan stared intently. Wei Tianjun had long been secretly taking up his post in the imperial palace.

"He gives off a very different vibe now," he thought to himself. The last time he met Wei Tianjun at the Sword Inquiry Dojo, the man was old and frail, giving off a desolate and weak-willed air, like a skinny tiger by the roadside.

But at this moment, the opponent exuded a powerful aura, his spine straight, displaying an arrogant and invincible presence that seemed to surpass all others... the last warrior of the human race.

The moonlight, like blood, mixed with the rain of blood, dyed the earth crimson.

On the city wall of the imperial palace, an old and tall figure appeared. He was dressed in hemp robes as white as snow, his eyes were firm and bright, and his majestic posture was like an immortal mountain supporting the sky, which could give people confidence.

This is a True Lord, the only True Lord of the Fighting Division in this generation of the human race. He is a hero in his twilight years, but he is still domineering and imposing.

Everyone in the capital looked up, and a fierce fighting spirit rose involuntarily in their hearts. It was as if even the presence of the Demon Lord of the Fighting Division was no longer so terrifying. Everyone's emotions turned to high morale because of the appearance of the old man who was like a pillar of strength.

“Wei Tianjun.” In the Great Ruins, Yuan Zhenjun’s expression was ugly, but then he regained his composure and said with a sneer, “The last glimmer of human martial arts, you have finally appeared.”

Without a doubt, Emperor Ji went all in, ascending to immortality alone and leaving behind the Dali Dynasty, which was almost completely undefended.

Now, a true lord has stepped in and taken over this mess.

Although the Ji family is like moths to a flame, forcibly dragging other forces into the fray, everyone knows that the Ji family has the best reputation. Their reputation for kindness and gentleness, accumulated over the ages, is not fabricated out of thin air. There will always be people who will choose to support the Ji family without hesitation.

“Tongbi…why bully a junior?” Wei Tianjun, with his white hair, said, “But I pity your difficult cultivation, so please step back.”

To flaunt one's power and act capriciously before a lower realm is truly not the behavior of a True Lord. "Lord Wei, the world is vast; where can I retreat?"

Ape True Lord spoke slowly, a hint of regret in his eyes, and said, "I will say the same thing to you. You are the only Doubu Heavenly Lord in the mortal world, and you do not know how powerful the Immortal Palace has become."

The fifth realm on the path of Qi cultivation is called True Lord by Taoists, Bodhisattva by Buddhists, Sword Master by Sword Masters, and Heavenly Lord by Fighting Warriors in ancient times.

But in today's era.

Only Wei Tianjun was occasionally addressed as Tianjun by human True Lords of the same rank.

“We’d like to give it a try… Once everyone has arrived, how about I sit down and discuss the Dao with you all?” Wei Tianjun said.

Ten thousand years ago, after the Mountain and Sea Banquet, the remnants of human martial arts led a rebellion against the Immortal Palace.

Ten thousand years later, the last remaining martial arts practitioners once again became the vanguard of the Immortal Slaying Palace.

"There's no need to wait for them."

Ape Lord shook his head, his tone wistful, and continued, "Knowing you were probably here, and fearing you would die first, I... came first."

He had no intention of killing the human fighting tribe's Tianming and Feixinzhai. As long as those young people were willing to kneel down, he could generously show leniency and make an exception... Although it was coercion, if you think about it from another perspective, wasn't it also a kind of mercy?

However, since the other party was not tactful, he became angry and did not mind killing them casually. Now that Wei Tianjun had stepped forward, he would fight first.

"The mortal world? The Great Ruins?"

"Being confined and restricted in the capital, let's abandon this place."

Without further words, the great battle erupted. Wei Tianjun ascended to the heavens, each step fraught with killing intent, and the battle began with a head-on clash of unparalleled might.

Within the Great Void, the Ape True Lord's soul and body merged into one, revealing the strongest posture of Dao Integration. Standing in the void, with a divine wheel hanging behind his head, he seemed to have become the center of heaven and earth.

"boom!"

The Ape True Lord directly displayed top-level offensive techniques. The divine halo behind his head became increasingly dazzling, making him appear like a god, his entire body crystalline.

The divine wheel plummeted, roaring incessantly, like a holy wheel of battle, shining upon Wei Tianjun, unleashing a vast and boundless array of Dao principles.

"The universe is manipulated!"

The Ape True Lord roared, and one hundred and eight arms grew from his back. With one step, the Chaos Void trembled. He pressed down with the Battle Saint Wheel in his hand, causing the surrounding void to fall into the vast Battle Saint Realm.

"Fist of the North Star!"

Wei Tianjun's fist imprint burst forth with ten thousand blazing divine lights. Without any fancy spells or techniques, his movements were wide and powerful, displaying the ultimate fighting power. His iron fists shattered the Battle Saint Wheel.

On the earth, people were astonished. These were probably the most skilled warriors in the world. Their fighting prowess was fully revealed. In their head-on battle, every strike was like a vast ocean crashing against the sky, shattering the stars in the Great Ruins one by one.

"Just how strong is Wei Tianjun?" Chen Xuan asked Ye Kui in a low voice. He only knew that Wei Tianjun was a remnant of the Dou tribe who was barely clinging to life, but he did not expect him to be so powerful.

"He's probably one of the strongest Doubu True Monarchs of the human race throughout history...?" Ye Kui scratched his head, even he didn't know just how strong Wei Tianjun, the master of the Beidou Dojo, really was.

It should be noted that the other party is not just the master of the Beidou Dojo, but the one who has brought together many of the human race's fighting traditions.

After all, both the Xing Tian Secret Manual obtained by Chen Xuan and the Four Emperors [Gouchen Method] of Ye Kui were passed down by Wei Tianjun.

"The Great Sage's Technique!" roared the Ape True Lord, unleashing a perfected Immortal Ascension Technique. He plucked a tuft of golden hair and blew on it, and in an instant, the hair transformed into apes. Nearly three hundred ancient apes grew in the wind, radiating intense light, and surrounded Wei Tianjun.

Each of these ancient ape figures, whether wielding a staff or as large as a mountain, possessed the power of a true lord.

Once the art of immortality is mastered, its power becomes unfathomable.

"Little Daoist!" Wei Tianjun, unfazed, roared back, "Xing Tian!"

He stretched as if he were yawning, and black energy burst forth from his body. Three thousand powerful figures, like celestial demons, emerged from his body, each possessing the power of a true lord capable of shattering heaven and earth.

"The Great Completion of the Three Thousand Heavenly Demons' Journey: The Secret of Form and Heaven." Chen Xuan was shocked. Although they were both Immortal Arts, their power in the hands of a True Monarch was worlds apart.

Each of Wei Tianjun's demonic figures was like a true lord of battle descending. As long as one's rank or realm was below this series of immortal techniques, everything could be perfectly transformed.

Even those of higher status can generate similar great power through this method.

It can be said that at this moment, Wei Tianjun transformed into three thousand beings, and apart from his main body, the other two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine demonic bodies possessed divine power equivalent to the descent of a Doubu True Lord.

"Boom!"

Three thousand fist beams pierced through the Great Void, directly shattering the countless ancient ape figures in the sky. Then, they found the body of the True Ape Monarch, smashed his limbs, and cracked open his head.

The Ape True Lord exploded, then transformed into a beam of white light and appeared in the distance, reforming his body. His face was ashen and extremely ugly.

“Wei Tianjun… I never expected that you, all alone, would still be this strong.”

"Haha, the path of martial arts for humans is difficult. Since I do not have a powerful sect, I can only put in a lot of hard work in my own martial arts."

Wei Tianjun laughed loudly, and countless demonic figures crowded into the Taixu. His swinging fists could shatter everything. Stars tens of thousands of miles away were as if made of paper, turning into ashes upon contact.

The world was horrified. This was the True Lord of Humanity, who rose step by step from a humble and difficult situation to become a True Lord. He lingered on for thousands of years without ever setting foot in the mortal world, but his spine never truly bent!
Ape True Lord gazed at Wei Tianjun with admiration, then his eyes turned to pity as he said, "What a pity, you will eventually be like fireworks, brilliant for a moment, and then vanish into nothingness."

"boom!"

Ape Lord launched another attack, but this time, he unleashed a section of his hand bone. Terrifying immortal power surged, and magnificent runes fell like immortal rain, covering the Great Void.

"A treasure crafted from the bones of immortals and demons!" People were horrified. Was this a treasure crafted by immortals?!
In the capital city, everyone showed worry. Although Wei Tianjun was powerful, he was ultimately alone. However, Yuan Zhenjun was the leader of a sect, and the treasure he possessed far surpassed that of Wei Tianjun!
Although it is often said in the mortal world that there is no distinction between high and low among true lords.

But how could an ordinary True Lord possibly be on the same level as a top-tier True Lord of the Daoist lineage in terms of the external power they can mobilize?

Both are True Lords, but one wields a celestial weapon and a supreme treasure, while the other is empty-handed; the difference is obvious.

"In martial arts duels, why rely on external tools? Tongbei, today I will show you with this one punch what a peerless, invincible fist truly is!"

Wei Tianjun remained unfazed, his expression calm and collected. He clenched his fist and then slowly pushed it out.

"boom!"

The entire Taixu swirled like a massive vortex, seemingly collapsing onto his golden fist. With a single punch, imperial might swept across the universe, as if piercing through all worlds.

Hook Chen Diquan!
