The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 222 One Dies, One Surrenders

"Cuck!"

The golden toad made a sound like a mournful bell, swallowing up the vast emptiness.

The universe was torn apart, splitting into countless fragments, triggering a terrifying Big Crunch.

"boom!"

On the other side, the gray dragon also launched an attack, opening its mouth and roaring, causing the wind to sweep away the clouds and tearing the sky with a gale, sweeping towards Ning Qingyi.

Within that fierce wind, there was a Dao diagram formed from talismans, rumbling and thundering as it pressed down—not a particularly powerful attack, but primarily a probe.

Ning Qing opened her eyes, her gaze still sharp. A glint of light flashed between her brows, and she unleashed a sword beam, instantly cleaving the diagram in two.

At the same time, he raised his fist and charged forward, a terrifying will soaring into the sky and suppressing all changes.

This combat power made the Golden Toad and the Gray Dragon frown. They couldn't quite put their finger on it; it seemed like the person had just entered the Great Sage realm, or perhaps they had only reached the ninth level of the Saint King realm.

“His physical strength far surpasses the laws of the Holy Path, and he can stand out among his peers even at the Great Saint realm,” the golden toad said, a deep sense of dread rising in his heart.

“The five secret realms have all embarked on a single path, and their true combat strength is no less than that of a Saint King, while still being able to maintain the Eight Forbidden Zones.” The gray dragon saw through the truth at a glance.

"Make your move! He can trigger a heavenly tribulation at any time. If he becomes a Saint King, we will die!" the golden toad said coldly.

"kill!"

The gray dragon made its move, its eyes sharp, transforming into a streak of gray light as it rushed past at incredible speed, practically divine.

It opened its mouth, revealing a gray dragon's snout sharper than a celestial blade, capable of shattering the heavens. Once opened, it could devour everything in its path; not only Ning Qingyi, but the entire ancient land would be swallowed up by it.

"Stubborn to the end, since that's how it is, then all of you, die!"

Ning Qingyi stood up, and a terrifying aura swept across the sky, engulfing the two Great Saints.

His holy body was radiant with golden and jade-like colors, and the various secret realms began to glow, emitting mysterious chanting sounds. Strands of imperial aura permeated the area, as if a dormant emperor was about to be awakened, making it difficult for people to breathe.

Ninefold Great Immortal Technique!
The reappearance of this forbidden technique in the mortal world means that Ning Qingyi has once again stepped into the realm of divine restrictions, no longer bound by the eight restrictions, and his combat power has soared to a level that ordinary people cannot comprehend in an instant!
With a single, horizontal punch, the Great Dao resonated, and chaotic energy permeated the air, as if the Buddha had descended to earth, subduing all living beings with thunderous power!

"boom!"

The gray dragon was sent flying, spitting blood from its mouth, its body covered in horrific wounds, utterly outmatched.

It felt a chill in its heart and immediately sensed the changes that had occurred in Ning Qingyi. It was the forbidden domain that it had tried countless times to enter but still could not.

"puff!"

Another punch shattered the dragon's ten-foot-long body, sending its blood soaring upwards for over ten feet. Fragments of bone flew out and were then crushed to pieces.

"what!"

The gray dragon cried out in pain, a chill suddenly rising in its heart. It turned and fled thousands of miles away, with no intention of fighting back. However, something terrible happened.

A brilliant light emanated from Ning Qingyi's feet, enveloping the gray dragon. Then, as if time had reversed, the gray dragon seemed to have remained motionless, with Ning Qingyi's terrifying figure and invincible Buddha Fist still before it.

"boom!"

Amidst the surging chaos and mist, a fist appeared, upon which a faint phantom of a portal flickered, dominating heaven and earth.

The gray dragon tried to fight back, blocking with its dragon claws, but they broke off inch by inch starting from its toes. Then its dragon feet exploded, and the remaining dragon body trembled violently and shattered into pieces. Then its expression froze, and its head exploded. It was killed in one punch, leaving only a pool of broken bones and blood.

Three punches!

Just three punches!
The fact that Ning Qingyi killed a gray dragon that had just entered the Great Sage realm was suffocating not only for the Golden Toad, but also for the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon, who thought he knew Ning Qingyi very well.

"My lord is becoming increasingly terrifying." The nine-tailed crocodile dragon looked awe-inspiring, but when its gaze drifted to the remains of the gray dragon, it couldn't help but reveal excitement. How could it not know that Ning Qingyi had intentionally held back to purify its dragon blood? Otherwise, the gray dragon's remains would have been pulverized by the force of his fist.

"Cuck!"

The golden toad let out a cry, turned around and left, not daring to linger.

What kind of monster is this? A Saint-level expert defeating a Great Saint as easily as slaughtering a chicken or a dog!
It unleashed its Dragon-Shaped Toad Step, leaping like a dragon soaring to the heavens, and in an instant fled into the depths of the hunting grounds.

However, a figure walked towards it from the dark universe. It seemed to move slowly, but with each step, mountains and rivers reversed, stars shifted, and the moon moved. Its speed was beyond the realm of reason, and it directly stopped the Golden Toad Great Sage.

In the silent vacuum, the Great Sage Golden Toad met Ning Qingyi's cold eyes. The Great Sage's body trembled, and he dared not move.

Just as Ning Qingyi was about to throw a punch, the few words spoken not long ago flashed in the platform. It was enlightened, and its ten-thousand-foot-long demon body shrank rapidly, eventually becoming only one foot long, and it became extremely divine.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" the golden toad cried out, its voice like a heavenly cry.

Upon hearing this, Ning Qingyi withdrew her fist and stared at it coldly, as if she were judging something.

The golden toad remained motionless, while the platform trembled, as if it sensed a terrifying power at work, seemingly influencing its destiny.

quiet!
Very quiet!
In the end, the strange phenomena on Ning Qingyi gradually subsided, and his terrifying aura dissipated, making him no different from a normal, perfect saint.

"Come with me," Ning Qingyi said calmly.

The golden toad cawed, suddenly relieved, and chased after Ning Qingyi as she left.

In the distance, the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon stared in disbelief, unable to comprehend that this Golden Toad Demon Saint was so lacking in integrity, surrendering directly. But soon, a sense of crisis arose in its heart, and it rushed over from afar.

"My lord, should we keep it?" The Golden Toad Demon Saint trembled at the Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon's question.

“He is indeed a Great Sage, which will save us a lot of trouble.” Ning Qing glanced at the golden toad and then said, “Go and refine the dragon vein of that Great Sage Flood Dragon. If we can refine it completely, we will not be far from the Heavenly King realm.”

"Yes, sir!" The Nine-Tailed Crocodile Dragon was excited and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the corpse of the Gray Flood Dragon Great Sage.

This scene terrified the Golden Toad Sage.

Ning Qingyi returned to the previous coordinates with the golden toad, sat cross-legged in the void, and asked, "Tell me what you know about the Ancient Hunting Zone and the Mythical Other Shore."

"Yes, my lord!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Jin Chan poured out his knowledge of the two forbidden areas like beans spilling out.

"The Ancient Hunting Zone is the guardian of the mythical other side. Many ancient beasts gather here to jointly protect the secrets of the mythical other side."

“And every so often, ancient medicines would drift down from the other shore, and terrifying figures would expound the Great Dao.”

Even in a dangerous situation, Jin Chan couldn't help but feel a little tempted when he talked about this.

"My lord, those are leaves from the immortal elixir, the Ancient Tree of Life. If we could cross over..."

"Tell me about the other side of mythology," Ning Qingyi continued.

The golden toad continued, but most of it was ancient legend. All that was known was that the other side of mythology must exist, and that there was a sea of ​​suffering in the void, which was usually hidden and could only be crossed by those recognized by the gods. The only verifiable evidence was a few islands and reefs that could connect to the other side of mythology.

Ning Qingyi understood and then asked, "How many Great Saints are there in the ancient hunting area?"

“Four… there are three more: me, the gray dragon you killed, a celestial dog, and a roc. We jointly govern the ancient hunting area. However, the ancient hunting area has a long history, and there may still be a few beast kings in the shadows who have not yet passed away, clinging to life by relying on the divine leaves of the ancient tree of life,” the golden toad said.

"I will seek enlightenment here. Go and bring the other two beast kings to pay homage to me. Go."
