Chapter 525 The Physical Body Overcomes Divine Power, Gods and Kings of Heaven Attain Immortality

Breaking news! Zhao Wuji, ranked third on the Mountain and River Ranking, has achieved supernatural powers.

Breaking news! A disciple who has just passed the inner sect assessment is going to have a life-or-death duel with Zhao Wuji on the Heavenly Execution Platform.

Breaking news! The inner disciple who challenged Zhao Wuji was incredibly strong; he broke both legs of Zhao Yuankai, who ranked ninth on the Mountain and River Ranking.

………………

……

It turns out that even cultivators find it hard not to gossip.

The Soul of Bagua is an accessory possessed by every sentient being.

What is the Heavenly Punishment Platform? The Heavenly Punishment Platform is where the Feathered Ascension Sect holds the true power of life and death, and it is the place where the life and death of true disciples can be decided.

Generally speaking, inner disciples do not appear on the Heavenly Punishment Platform, not because they are not qualified, but because they feel they are not worthy.

The Heavenly Punishment Platform is a place for true disciples to settle grudges and decide life and death. Inner disciples don't even have a supernatural secret realm, so are they worthy of the Heavenly Punishment Platform?

An inner disciple and a quasi-true disciple who had just broken through to the Divine Power Realm were about to fight to the death on the Heavenly Punishment Platform. This kind of thing had never happened before in the Feathered Immortal Sect.

Now that it has happened, it has naturally attracted attention, and quite a lot of attention at that, even attracting the attention of many true disciples. Beams of light flew up from each of the true disciple peaks, heading towards the direction of the Heavenly Punishment Platform.

In addition, a large number of inner disciples also received the news immediately and rushed towards the Heavenly Punishment Platform.

These are all permitted by the rules of the Feathered Ascension Sect.

In the eyes of the Feathered Immortal Sect, since it is a decisive battle, it must be fair, just, and open. The more people there are, the fairer and more just it will be. Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of people, even if someone wants to cheat or use tricks, they will have to think twice.

Li Chengqian and his group of five passed through layer upon layer of pavilions, towers, and grand buildings, finally arriving at the foot of an extremely tall hall.

The grand hall stood tall, with a jade staircase of 3,600 steps that would deter any ordinary person from even attempting it. The five of them climbed the steps one by one, entered the plaza, and saw the Heavenly Punishment Platform, which was nine zhang long, nine zhang wide, and nine zhang high.

At this moment, apart from Li Chengqian and Fang Qingxue, Xu Wenyuan and the other two were all filled with worry. They couldn't understand why Li Chengqian would have such courage to challenge the Divine Power Realm with only the Physical Body Realm.
Who gave him the courage?

“Cousin, I’ll go. Zhao Wuji cultivates a kind of thunder technique, and I think I can counter it.”

Fang Qingxue suddenly spoke up in front of the Heavenly Execution Platform.

Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Cousin, don't worry. You had a fortuitous encounter, and so did I. How much magical power could someone who has just broken through possibly have?"

Having said that, he said no more and in a few steps, he leaped onto the Heavenly Execution Platform.

On the Heavenly Execution Platform, the wind howled ominously.

Zhao Wuji had already stood on the platform, his golden robes fluttering without wind, his magical power surging, causing the surrounding airflow to form a visible vortex.

His eyes flashed like lightning, fixed intently on Li Chengqian opposite him, his killing intent undisguised.

"You little beast, you don't know the immensity of heaven and earth! Today I will show you that the difference between the Divine Power Realm and the mortal body is as vast as the heavens and the earth!" Zhao Wuji's voice was icy, carrying the unique majesty of a master of the Divine Power Realm. "To die under my Raging Thunder True Qi is your honor!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, his magical power surging and lightning crackling around him, and pressed down on Li Chengqian with a palm.

scoff!

A massive, ferocious thunderous handprint, several meters long, condensed and emitted a chilling crackling sound. Its destructive aura spread out, causing many inner disciples below the stage to turn pale and retreat repeatedly.

Raging Thunder True Qi, Thunderous Great Handprint!
"Senior Brother Zhao has only just entered the realm of supernatural powers, yet he has managed to cultivate this supernatural power to such a high level. This Thunder Hand Seal is incredibly refined and its power is terrifying!"

"Then Li Chengqian is finished! How can someone in the physical body realm withstand supernatural powers?"

Before the gasps from the audience had even subsided, the thunderous handprint had already parted the air, pressing down on Li Chengqian with an aura of annihilation!
Faced with this supernatural attack, Li Chengqian neither dodged nor evaded, nor even drew his sword.

To everyone's astonishment, he made an extremely simple gesture...

He raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and went straight towards the large handprint.

"He's gone mad?!"

"Catch the Purple Lightning Yin Thunder Blade with his bare hands? Does he think his physical body is a magical artifact?!"

"Seek death!"

Even some of the disciples watching the battle frowned slightly.

"Something's not right. His physical energy seems a bit off!"

Lingxiao frowned slightly. "Wanluo, what do you think?"

Wan Luo just smiled and said, "He must have cultivated some kind of powerful physical supernatural ability and also had some good fortune. His physical strength far exceeds that of ordinary physical cultivators. He dares to challenge a supernatural ability cultivator with his physical strength, so he must have something to rely on. Otherwise, do you think he's a fool?"

Zhao Wuji revealed an extremely cruel smile, as if he could already see Li Chengqian's arm explode and his body severely injured.

however--

boom!
A muffled thud, not the explosion of flesh and blood, but the roar of thunder!
The instant Li Chengqian's palm made contact with the thunderous blade light, a tremendous force surged forth, actually managing to block the raging thunderous handprint!

The violent lightning blew open the sleeve of his right hand, and electric snakes leaped and exploded wildly between his fingers, but they couldn't even scratch the oily skin on his palm!
The lightning power, which was enough to turn an ordinary expert at the tenth level of physical strength into charred remains, seemed to have no effect on him.

"what?!"

"Caught it with his bare hands?!"

"How is this possible?! What did his body eat to grow so large?!"

The audience erupted in chaos, all the disciples staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

Boom!! In the next moment, Li Chengqian exerted his strength, and the huge thunder handprint was actually shattered by his bare hands, turning into countless tiny sparks of lightning that scattered and vanished!
"Thunderous Handprint? Nothing special." Li Chengqian flicked his hand, his tone indifferent, as if he had merely swatted a fly. "Is this the strength of your Divine Power Realm? The strength of twenty Xuanhuang horses? Weak and feeble, did you not eat?"

"Arrogant!" Zhao Wuji was both shocked and furious. He completely abandoned his contempt and unleashed his full magical power!

"Thunderstorm Domain!"

He formed hand seals, and his magical power surged forth, transforming into a lightning field several meters in diameter that enveloped him and Li Chengqian! Within the domain, countless purple lightning snakes appeared out of thin air, frantically striking Li Chengqian from all directions, each containing terrifying power capable of crushing a master of the Divine Transformation Realm!
Crackle! Boom!
A burst of lightning completely engulfed Li Chengqian's figure! The Heavenly Execution Platform seemed to transform into a pool of lightning and a sea of ​​electricity, the destructive aura causing the disciples below to retreat again and again.

"It's over! Once trapped in the magical domain of the Mystic Realm, even the strongest physical body can't withstand the continuous bombardment!"

"Senior Brother Zhao is truly enraged; he's going to blast him to smithereens!"

However, amidst this endless thunderstorm, a calm voice clearly rang out:

"The power of twenty-nine Xuanhuang steeds, Zhao Wuji, your foundation is too weak, your magic power is too feeble, you can't arouse my interest at all, and you won't achieve the desired training effect, let's end this sooner rather than later!"

The next moment, a scene that everyone will never forget unfolded!

In the center of the raging thunderstorm, Li Chengqian's blood and qi suddenly erupted, and a powerful, vast, and pure physical force soared into the sky, actually creating a vacuum in the thunder field!
He stood there, letting the thunderbolts strike him. The lightning danced and exploded on his body, and his clothes were tattered, giving him a battle-damaged look. But it was only his robes that were affected; the violent lightning did not harm his body in the slightest. He was like a god or demon walking among men, impervious to all laws and causing all evil to retreat!
"The power of a hundred... a hundred horses galloping?! This blood energy... is definitely the power of a hundred horses!" A knowledgeable inner disciple exclaimed in disbelief.

"How could someone at the Physical Body Realm possess the strength of a hundred horses? This is simply unheard of!"

"His physical strength... is probably comparable to a mid-grade or even high-grade magic weapon! What kind of monster is this?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Lingxiao's eyes: "Interesting. To have tempered one's physical body to such an extent, it seems there must have been some extraordinary encounter."

Nan Wanluo's eyes flickered, revealing a hint of inquiry.

Jialan nodded slightly: "This boy's foundation is so solid that he can be called the number one person in the physical body realm."

Even from the depths of the Heavenly Execution Platform, a few soft exclamations could be heard.

"Hehe, this little kid is quite interesting. Is he trying to achieve immortality by refining his physical body?"

"A very powerful body-refining method, very ancient and very domineering. It seems this young man is also a person with profound destiny!"

"This newly established supernatural realm has bitten off more than it can chew. A mere twenty horsepower is just a tickle."

The playful laughter echoed in the void, but no one could hear it.

"Finished? Then it's my turn."

Li Chengqian twisted his neck, and his bones crackled like thunder.

With one step, the entire Heavenly Punishment Platform trembled slightly! He didn't use any fancy supernatural powers, just a simple punch!
But when this punch was thrown, everyone watching, including the true disciples, felt a strange sense of suffocation!
It was as if he wasn't throwing a punch, but rather a god-king driving the rotation of the stars and controlling the cycle of life and death of all living beings!

A massive, vast, cold, precise fist intent, like the turning of the heavens, instantly enveloped the entire Heavenly Punishment Platform!
The Wheel of Life and Death!!

On his fist, his blood and spirit were highly concentrated, and a huge, slowly rotating illusory wheel faintly appeared! On the wheel, there were the sun, moon and stars, gods, demons, immortals and Buddhas, and all kinds of living beings, as if encompassing the fate and life and death of all living beings in the myriad realms!
This is the ultimate technique of Hong Xuanji, the martial arts overlord of the Yangshen World. Now, driven by Li Chengqian's physical body with the strength of a hundred horses and his powerful spirit, it reproduces its supreme majesty in the Eternal World!
Li Chengqian has an avatar, which is none other than Hong Xuanji's eldest son, Hong Xi!
Zhao Wuji's pupils contracted sharply as he sensed an unprecedented crisis of death! He roared and concentrated all his magic power in front of him, forming a thick shield of lightning, crackling with electricity and flashing runes!

"Get out of my way!"

However, in the face of that punch that contained the will of the cycle of life and death of all the heavens, all defenses seemed pale and powerless!

Boom!

The thunder shield, which contained all of Zhao Wuji's magical power, was easily pierced and shattered by Li Chengqian's fist, just like paper!
The force of the punch remained undiminished, landing with unparalleled precision on Zhao Wuji's chest!
puff--!
Zhao Wuji's golden robes shattered instantly, and his protective magic melted away like snow under the sun! His eyes bulged out, filled with endless terror and disbelief!

"Do not--!"

A short, sharp scream rang out.

The next moment, his body was like porcelain struck by an ancient giant hammer, his bones shattering with a teeth-grinding sound, his chest completely collapsing! He flew backward like a rag doll, blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushing from his mouth, crashing heavily onto the edge of the Heavenly Execution Platform's light screen, then slid limply to the ground, his aura instantly weakening to the extreme, clearly beyond saving.

One punch!
Just one punch!
Zhao Wuji, who was at the level of supernatural power and magic power, was defeated and died.

The entire area around the Heavenly Execution Platform was deathly silent.

Everyone stared in disbelief at the figure on the stage, standing with his fists clenched, dressed in tattered clothes.

The audience was initially completely silent, but then erupted into a tsunami-like uproar!

All the disciples looked at Li Chengqian with awe, shock, and a hint of fear.

The physical body defies supernatural powers!
Today, they witnessed the birth of a legend!

Fang Qingxue's cool eyes sparkled as she looked thoughtfully at the figure on the stage.

Xu Wenyuan was so excited that his face turned red, feeling honored.

The true disciples, including Dong Lingxiao, Nan Wanluo, and Jialan, gave Li Chengqian a deep look, as if they wanted to remember his appearance or the aura of his punch. Then they turned into streaks of light and left.

Deep within the Heavenly Execution Platform, that mocking voice rang out once more.

"Tsk tsk, what powerful punches, what refined martial will! This person has pushed their martial arts to the extreme..."

"It seems that another remarkable figure has emerged from the inner sect."

"With such strength at the Physical Body Realm, once he steps into the Divine Abilities Realm... hehe, my Feathered Ascension Sect has gained another prodigy..."

The sounds gradually faded into inaudibility, leaving only the lingering shock and discussion below the Heavenly Execution Platform.

Li Chengqian slowly walked down the Heavenly Execution Platform, looked at Fang Qingxue walking towards him, and smiled slightly.
