The Ancient Saint Emperor of the Heaven-shading

Chapter 170: Battling all enemies and slaying the sect leader, the Great Sage enters a new pass after the tribulation.

The First Tribulation Star: Nine Venerables Engage in Wrathful Battle, Mythical Bloodlines Emerge, Ancient Physiques Appear, Heavenly Venerable Disciples Arrive, and Ancient Emperor's Son Descends.

The battle for supremacy brought together what was considered the world's strongest successors, a spectacle that shook the world.

What kind of competition is this? Those who know the inside story will be utterly shocked.

There are disciples of the ancient Heavenly Court's ruler and the Emperor; ancient cultivators left over from the Chaotic Ancient Era; immortal bloodline and successors of the Undying Heavenly Emperor; a Holy Spirit formed from Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold; a fragmented chaotic body reborn from the Boundless Heavenly Venerable; a blood-sin successor cultivated by the Longevity Heavenly Venerable using heaven-defying methods; the strongest biological child left behind by the Dao-proving members of the Light Clan; a successor of the ancient Venerable born from the union of the Taiyin Origin and the Holy Spirit; and a successor of the Sun Holy Emperor, the true Bright Venerable.

The nine supreme beings symbolize different eras, different rulers, and different glories.

"The contest of a glorious era has begun." The Daughter of the Ruins, Yi Lin, slowly opened the stone book in her hand, her voice fervent, "Then let me witness, let me record, this true...future!"

Buzz! In an instant, the stone book shone brightly, and as the battle unfolded, one terrifying scene after another appeared: they achieved the status of Great Sage, forbidden domains appeared, some people perished, some people reached the final level, and a terrible calamity appeared, until finally everything was plunged into darkness.

"Heavens! That's a Holy Spirit formed from Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold! It's a divine material with spiritual power, and it even has the legacy of a Great Accomplished Holy Spirit... It's not just one or two, how can there be so many? What's going on? How is this possible! What kind of monster has the Holy Spirit lineage released?!" Even the Great Sage was trembling, staring in horror at the Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Holy Spirit. Such a being had never appeared in the world before; it was truly defying the heavens.

It possessed almost all the legacy, artifacts, and resentment of the ancient holy spirits recorded in history, and was further blessed by two great ancient ancestors. It was truly terrifying. Upon arriving here, it killed a great saint with its bare hands.

"That's... the legendary ancient Heavenly Court's orthodox secret technique, and... and the Emperor's scriptures?! I know who he is now, he's the disciple of the Heavenly Court's Lord, the Emperor!" Another Great Sage from the ancient Heavenly Court's former subordinates shouted, staring incredulously at a figure. That was the Emperor's successor, a powerful figure who possessed supreme scriptures and unparalleled strength, and, as the Heavenly Court's Lord had said, an existence capable of attaining enlightenment.

"Zhang Bairen, he is Zhang Bairen, the last person nominated by the Crystal Stele. He is too mysterious. He even used laws from ancient times. Doesn't he belong to this era?"

"No wonder, no wonder these people dare to compete with the Holy Venerable, they all have impressive backgrounds!"

The great sages were shocked. To be able to participate in such a divine war was worth dying for. Some even collapsed to the ground, trembling, and murmured, "What kind of battle have we participated in? Is this a re-enactment of the mythological era?"

Even the Great Sage is nothing more than a supporting character here. Any one of them would be a person of great status, a ruler of heaven and earth, capable of sweeping across an entire world!
But today, in this era, they are just one of the contenders for supremacy. The mighty river flows eastward, carrying the blood of heroes and the heads of enemies.

war!
A deafening roar resounded, and nine voices surged. In an instant, nine figures overlapped, their physical bodies vying for supremacy. No one used any magic here, relying solely on their physical strength to fight. Therefore, the difference in strength was not significant. This was quite different from the serious battles outside. It could be described as intense, and some who were originally weaker were able to unleash their full power here.

Wang Hongwu flapped his Kunpeng wings, and the Vermilion Bird feather shot out, transforming into 108,000 swords that swept across the land. His Qilin feet stomped out layers of purple waves, and together with the dragon shadows he constantly unleashed, he fought against the eight Venerables. At this moment, crimson clouds shot out again, scattering a large area of ​​purple mist. Blood could be vaguely seen splattering in the sky, as if the crimson galaxy had been broken and someone had been stained with blood!
It truly was a divine intervention that shook the heavens and earth, and chilled everyone to the bone. For a moment, they all felt as if the nine celestial beings from the mythological era had reappeared!

Nine figures moved back and forth, representing the glory of different eras, leaving no hope of resistance. The Holy Venerable in the very center, fighting against multiple opponents, seemed to have merged with the form of the Emperor.

He reigned supreme among the nine supreme beings, becoming the undisputed ruler of his time!
Roar! As their battlefield continued to expand, some ancient overlords within the Calamity Star became enraged, for their territories had been invaded and their authority challenged, which they could not tolerate!

In an instant, people saw giant beasts pounce and bite, and divine birds descend and strike. They were all chaotic divine beasts left over from the mythological era, all at the level of Great Sages, with terrifying combat power.

"That's... a Chaos Beast!" "Qiongqi has appeared, and there's also Taotie, they're so ferocious!"

"Can those extraterrestrial beings handle this? This is a catastrophe of world-ending magnitude."

The native creatures were terrified; those creatures were all magical beasts that had committed many atrocities and inspired fear.

But then Wang Hongwu's Yin-Yang Eyes swirled, and he simultaneously unleashed the Fusang Divine Form and the Xuanwu Divine Form, instantly annihilating the Chaos Demon Beast. Then, the True Dragon Horn charged forward, transforming into a dragon shadow that collided head-on with the Qiongqi. It was incredibly brutal, smashing the Qiongqi from head to tail into a pile of flesh and blood. Then, the Qilin Foot stomped on it, destroying everything, leaving nothing behind.

Roar! The Boundless Daoist was also ferocious. He used his chaotic energy to force the Taotie to explode, and then slapped it to pieces, killing it on the spot. The other Venerables also took action to destroy the invaders. The ferocious beasts that had troubled this ancient star were slaughtered at this moment!
They are even more ferocious and evil than these demonic beasts; they are celestial demons descended from beyond the realm!

The creatures within the First Calamity Star trembled in fear. These were all terrifying beings capable of instigating a world-ending war, yet they were all killed by the aftershocks of the battle and had no chance of fighting back.

Then, people felt suffocated, experiencing an indescribable oppression. The sky was dark and gloomy, with endless vengeful spirits wailing and countless evil spirits flying about. Blood and fire soared into the sky.

The strange phenomena of the great battle seemed to have triggered an endless carnage. Millions of living beings were wailing in the distance, and a towering blood mist rose up from there, turning everything crimson, almost engulfing the First Calamity Star.

Blood splattered on all nine people, their wounds exposing bone. The constant collisions stained the area red with blood. The broken starry river, the sunken battlefield, and the collapsing celestial walls were all a deep crimson.

This is a world stained with blood!
"Not enough! Far from enough! Come on, take one of my punches! If you're not good enough, get out of my way!"

Boom! There, Wang Hongwu unleashed his ferocity, boiling his true dragon blood. Although his Daoist techniques were 'difficult to use,' his divine form could still evolve. His five fingers clenched, causing the void to tremble and transform into a crimson dragon, its entire body blood-red, its scales gleaming as if forged from phoenix blood and crimson gold. Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a fist hurtling towards him at incredible speed. The dragon's raised head was the fist's edge, its majestic body the arm, and the fluttering feathers and mane were all formed from blood energy, grand and terrifying.

Dragon Fist Shatters the Heavens! With each punch, his own blood energy surged, scattering the clouds in all directions. From afar, it looked like an immortal furnace burning fiercely.

With a resounding boom, the eight powerful figures each unleashed their ultimate techniques, flying forward to exchange blows with him. One technique was a furnace of chaos, refining all the heavens; another was a blade of heavenly law, punishing all spirits; yet another was a radiant light, impervious to all laws; yet another was boundless bloodlust, destroying immortality; yet another was an ancient and profound method, transforming into the Great Evolution and the One; yet another was the blooming of an Emperor's secret technique, with the phantom of the ancient Heavenly Court suppressing the firmament; yet another was the dazzling light of immortal gold, with iron fists shattering everything; yet another was the emergence of sword embryos, with the immortal gold secret realm standing proudly above all others. The clashes triggered the most terrifying shockwaves.

The massive explosion terrified many people, and everyone recoiled in fear.

*Pfft!* The prince of the Light Clan was sent flying backward in a spinning motion, half of his body shattered by the Dragon Fist. The rest of the group also intervened to deflect the remaining force, with only a few people taking the brunt of the attack head-on.

"Alright, fellow Daoist, you too, come and take my attack!" Wuliang Daoist shouted softly, opened his mouth and spat out chaotic energy, which burst forth and refined the void, blurring the world. It was about to be melted into a golden elixir. This was not a Daoist technique, but a physical phenomenon and power, belonging to the mystery of the chaotic body.

"Hahaha, come on!" Wang Hongwu's physical strength pressed down, his Qilin feet stomped, his messy hair flew, and he let out a loud shout that shook the heavens and the earth. His whole body was filled with blood energy that swept across the sky and the earth. This was the Qilin Roar!

Not to mention inside the battlefield, even outside the battlefield, people who were hiding far enough away felt unwell, and many Great Sages coughed up blood and were sent flying.

Many native cultivators of the First Tribulation Star suffered physical cracks, almost exploding!

Rumble! The roar of the Qilin shattered the void and opened up the chaos. As the two forces intertwined, the remaining seven supreme beings all stopped, leaving the two a chance to fight one-on-one. However, Wang Hongwu would not let them sit on the sidelines and watch the tigers fight. With a long roar, he unleashed the Heavenly Venerable Great Unity Transformation!

Suddenly, the nine Heavenly Venerables emerged from the grotto temple behind him. The Venerable of the character "皆" soared above the world, his feet straddling the Heavenly King's Step to suppress the Holy Spirit Emperor, his fist dominating all gods, and he slammed down on him. The Heavenly Empress was surprised, as the Holy Venerable of the character "者" suddenly appeared before her, his strength capable of uprooting mountains and his aura overwhelming the world. With a single turn of his Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, he suppressed the attack.

The Overlord of Dou roared, appearing like a madman, his purple aura spreading across the sky and carrying his supreme overlord fist as he attacked Ye Chunfeng, raging through the Taiyin Ice Mist; Zhang Bairen turned around and saw the Immortal Venerable of Morality arriving in a misty manner, after a slight bow, he split into three, piercing through the past self and the Dao self, and came to surround and kill; The Emperor remained silent, made a hand seal and bombarded, clashing with the Demon Venerable of Lin, his primordial demonic energy surging, suppressing the heavens and earth, and suppressing everything.

The arrogant and domineering Brahma Venerable approached, taking thirty-three steps in a row with the Brahma Step, creating thirty-three illusory images of the Three Heavens to suppress the Blood Sin Great Saint, intending to crush him to death! The Carefree Feather Venerable flickered unpredictably, stepping on the flowing light of feather transformation, carrying countless feather transformation Dao patterns to strangle the Bright Ancient Prince; in an instant, seven bodies appeared simultaneously, fighting against all enemies, everything seemed to be under the control of the Holy Venerable.

Now, the remaining people couldn't stay out of it either, and they all frowned in response.
"What kind of magic is this? Is it the forbidden domain of the Holy Venerable? It can even manifest nine Heavenly Venerables to fight against him. Is he the reincarnation of the Emperor Venerable?" This scene shocked all the sages even more. Is it true? The Holy Venerable can really fight against many opponents!
Even if it's just a temporary exchange, it's still terrifying; his style is unparalleled, and he has the aura to sweep away all others.

Meanwhile, Wuliang Daoren and Wang Hongwu were entangled together. Not only did they unleash chaotic laws, but they were also surrounded by various immortal spirits. He drove various immortal spirits such as the Azure Dragon, the Transformation Serpent, the Vermilion Bird, and the White Tiger to attack, using the chaotic phenomena to fight against the Holy Venerable.

Each immortal spirit is a great Dao, formed from the most ancient talismanic culture. The Chaos Body can drive all Daos, representing the will of the universe, killing until all things are destroyed. Wang Hongwu grinned and directly pressed forward, the Kunpeng wings transforming into 100,000 golden feather swords that slashed through. The Azure Dragon's body, as long as the Milky Way, broke apart, dragon blood splattering everywhere. The Vermilion Bird cried out in sorrow, as tragic as the sun falling from the sky. The White Tiger roared in grief, its massive, mountain-like body falling into a pool of blood.

One after another, enormous immortal spirits were slain, yet they continued to evolve, with Tengshe, Immortal Phoenix, Taotie, and others emerging. Boundless, they displayed the mysteries of the Chaos Body, walking arrogantly in the world. Immortal spirits surrounded them endlessly. Wang Hongwu slammed his palm down, and the roars of dragons and the howls of unicorns, along with the soaring of Kunpeng, directly annihilated them all.

Tens of thousands of void rifts appeared around the two, rushing in all directions. With every move, they tore the heavens and earth apart. The dark void rifts were filled with the light of their fists, like tens of thousands of lightning bolts, crisscrossing and becoming more and more terrifying. Blood rain fell, and gods and demons wailed. This was not real blood, but light mist, which recreated the terrifying scene of the powerful warriors of the Imperial Pass fighting each other in the past.

The battle between the two triggered a resonance between heaven and earth, recreating the extraordinary phenomena imprinted on the void of heaven and earth during the ancient struggle for supremacy by the strongest!
In the end, Wuliang Daoren's arm twitched and blood flashed. He couldn't use many of his divine abilities here, so he naturally suffered some losses. He looked at Wang Hongwu deeply. He didn't expect that those immortal techniques and divine forms could also be activated by the physical body, but the power was greatly reduced, which caused him to suffer losses.

Everyone was shocked. What a powerful person he was! He truly deserved to be called the Chaos Body. The secret techniques, combat instincts, moves, and forbidden domains he displayed were all beyond what people of this generation could achieve. It was as if a Dao Prover had compressed his realm to this level!
"I'm coming!" In the next moment, the Holy Spirit Emperor blasted through the void and came, his body shining brightly under the sun, with crimson clouds reaching the sky. His whole body was flashing with traces of the Great Dao, solid and immortal, making people awe.

Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold? Holy Spirit?
A holy spirit formed from celestial gold!
Everyone was shocked and saw that the Holy Venerable and the Holy Spirit Emperor were already locked in a fierce battle. The force of their fists and palms swept far and wide, eventually piercing the sky. Star rivers outside the domain exploded, and countless fragments of celestial bodies were blasted down.

Boom!

The earth shook violently, as if two galaxy clusters had collided. The Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold Holy Spirit also erupted, without any fancy moves, as the two fists clashed together.

In terms of physique, immortal metal is definitely stronger than flesh and blood. This is a qualitative difference. After taking human form, such a collision makes it hard to find a physique with a harder body in the world!

To the Holy Spirit Emperor's surprise, he was a Great Sage! His cultivation was far superior, and his physical strength was enough to crush a Great Sage. Even those with special physiques would lose limbs. Yet this guy didn't retreat an inch, and didn't even have a scratch on his hand? How was this possible? On his body, dragon scale blood boiled, and scale-like Dao patterns appeared, directly confronting the Immortal Gold power, causing this Immortal Gold Holy Spirit to frown.

"What? Surprised?" Wang Hongwu grinned, his dragon claw-like fist firmly gripping the arm of the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit, forcefully prying it open, and then suddenly punching him straight in the center of his forehead. The Holy Spirit Emperor would not sit idly by, and with a backbend and a knee strike, the two were suddenly separated as their fists collided, and they adjusted their postures and began to exchange punches again.

Thump! Thump! Thump! The two were exchanging punches, each one stronger, faster, and more ferocious than the last! It was as if they wanted to break through the furnace of heaven and earth and attain immortality!

Without retreating an inch or swaying an inch, they displayed extraordinary physical prowess. The mere aftershocks of their collision caused the other Great Sages to cough up blood and stagger backward, their bodies on the verge of cracking.

A battle of this caliber is unprecedented!

In the midst of the bloody battle, various rays of light burst forth, like flying immortals, raining down light, mysterious and awe-inspiring. However, the Immortal Gold Man gradually developed resistance. He said coldly, "I have already awakened the profound meaning of Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold. I can adapt to all power and killing force. The more I fight, the stronger I become. The more I undergo rebirth, the more terrifying I become. Your moves will only become weaker and weaker against me. My Immortal Gold profound meaning is also an immortal technique!" "Is that so? I'll see how durable you are!" Wang Hongwu charged forward with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, throwing a powerful punch. With a thunderous roar, mountains and seas collapsed! This was the unparalleled Dragon Fist. A true dragon's divine form coiled around his arm. He swept across thousands of miles and struck straight at the man.

With a single punch, the heavens and earth collapsed, and nothing could be seen except the roar of a dragon echoing through the nine heavens; the Holy Spirit Emperor was fearless, and the immortal golden patterns on his body intertwined and merged into a giant immortal phoenix, which surged out and transformed into a divine phoenix palm that directly struck the dragon fist.

Dragon and Phoenix Clash!

Fists and palms clashed, and in an instant, the sun and moon lost their light, the world lost its color, and a deafening roar filled the air, as if demons were crying and gods were weeping. Crimson lightning intertwined, endless thunder burst forth, and countless phantoms of gods and demons appeared, falling one after another.

This is an extraordinary phenomenon, absolutely terrifying.

Even the other supreme beings narrowed their eyes. The Immortal Golden Holy Spirit was undoubtedly a terrifying opponent, not to mention that it had awakened profound mysteries and was blessed with many ancient ancestors' legacy. It should have been the strongest in this round without a doubt, but instead, an even more heaven-defying Holy Venerable appeared halfway through.

The two fought from the heavens to the depths of hell, battling from the sky to the ground, and from the depths of the earth back to the highest heavens, their blood splattering across the sky in a scene of utter carnage.

In the end, the Holy Spirit Emperor transformed into liquid metal, becoming omnipresent, and continued to fight Wang Hongwu, becoming even more terrifying.

Even without human form, they can still fight.

Even others had to admit that it was really too strong; the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit had an overwhelming advantage in this level.

But what's even more terrifying is that the supreme battle body displayed by the Holy Venerable can still fight, and is even more ferocious. This is too outrageous and horrifying.

But Zhang Bairen's eyes gleamed with a strange light, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "No wonder! True dragon blood, Qilin feet, Kunpeng wings, he has gathered some characteristics of the Ten Fierce Clan. Although he is not yet a pure bloodline, he is still terrifying. He is indeed fearless in the face of immortal metal!"

"Hmph! You've got some skill. You've been suppressing me quite a bit here. I'll fight you again when we get out." In the end, the two separated. The Holy Spirit Emperor was quite wary. Both of their fists were dented and battered. How could he not gain the upper hand? He didn't want to continue and let someone else take advantage of him.

Wang Hongwu charged straight at the Blood Demon Saint, shouting, "I'll weigh you up! If I can't, I'll die here!"

Everyone was shocked. This was the invincible spirit. He had just fought against the Chaos Body and the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit, winning battle after battle. He turned around and charged towards the Heavenly Venerable's disciple. He was not afraid of enemies from all directions and wanted to give him a good beating.

The Blood Demon Great Sage was completely shrouded in armor, except for his blood-red pupils, which were fierce and insane, filled with tyranny. They were not human eyes; they contained only killing and destruction.

In an instant, he abandoned the Brahma of the Soldier and stepped forward, his form expanding in a flash, transforming into a blood-red galaxy that clashed with the fist power unleashed by Wang Hongwu.

With a loud hum, smoke and clouds surged between the two, flames burned the sky, laws intertwined, and the momentum was extremely powerful, tearing the void apart like a tattered painting.

“Disciple of the Eternal Celestial Venerable, you are stronger than before. It seems the Underworld has spared no expense on you. Unfortunately, the last Underworld Prince who spared no expense was beaten to death by me.” Wang Hongwu stood firmly in place, smiling as he watched the Blood Demon Great Sage retreat.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. A person from the mythological era? This was too astonishing. How ancient must they be? Their status predates even the emperors!

However, some people couldn't understand why the disciple of the Celestial Venerable of Immortality would be like this. A person who should have been close to the Dao of Immortality was instead deeply demonic, a combination of blood and chaos.

"It is I. We have met many times before, but this is the first time we have met like this. The underworld has indeed greatly improved me, so let's settle things today." His voice was cold and sinister, like a corpse speaking. Blood-red lightning still lingered around him. He looked like a demon, someone who should not have appeared in the world, full of sin.

“How could a disciple of the Longevity Cultivation ...

"My existence is the result of the old man's experiment on immortality, forged from the blood souls of millions." As he said this, Xue Niu bared his teeth and gave a sinister smile. His teeth were white and gleamed with a cold light, like the fangs of a wild beast. He left a trail of afterimages and rushed forward like a bolt of lightning. Behind him were the corpses of gods and demons, and white skulls, floating and swirling together in a sea of ​​blood mist, killing each other.

Ha! Wang Hongwu didn't care at all. He had no magic, only physical strength. He was confident that he could kill his opponent here. He immediately rushed over and exchanged blows with him. They fought hand to hand. Blood Demon Great Saint relied on the secret of the word "Zhe" and honed his body, blood and qi and recovery ability to an unparalleled level. His wounds had healed before they were fully opened. He was fighting with a desperate style of abandoning defense.

Many people opened their heavenly eyes, some of whom possessed eyes that could seize the very essence of creation. They looked directly at the source and discovered that within this person's body, a mass of blood was wailing. There were countless living beings there, and they could vaguely see the destruction of various realms and the loss of countless lives.

Everyone shuddered. This person was terrifying. No wonder he was not tolerated by the heavens. He was truly forged in blood and sin, and was not a normal life form at all. In fact, Wuliang Daoren even suspected that the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable was using his disciple as a backup energy source. The thing inside his body could be said to be a microcosm of the dark turmoil, a special transformation of the essence of life. Could it be that he would just devour it when he lacked it?
Within the blood mist, the Great Sage of Blood Sin unleashed his full killing power. He unleashed the Divine Form of the Prison-Suppressing Halberd, suppressed the phenomena of the Yama Monument, and sent out the Dao Diagram of the Longevity Sword to strike. Furthermore, the mark of the Underworld flew out from his body, and the war corpses from ancient times to the present all manifested together. They were all energy bodies, but extremely powerful, containing their own laws. This was a special method used to bypass the suppression of the Flying Immortal Battlefield!

In this arena of physical combat, he could use his Daoist techniques, but Wang Hongwu merely sneered and broke through the restrictions by using the Divine Restriction. He even triggered the All-Encompassing Secret, unleashing a powerful punch that shattered all the strange phenomena and clashed with them. The Blood Demon Great Sage had half of his body blown apart and couldn't help but roar, as countless blood patterns erupted from him. That was the power of the curse, which was fully unleashed.

Burning his lifespan and igniting the flames of his primordial spirit's sublimation, the disciple of the Eternal Life Celestial Venerable unleashed a violent attack using forbidden techniques. The place was shrouded in blood mist, from which came bursts of ghostly howls. He wanted to condense the duel into a single move to decide life and death. He already understood the opponent's terrifying power and transformed himself into a sword, a blood-stained Eternal Life Sword.

With a single sword strike, the universe is shattered! The forbidden technique of the former Celestial Venerable of Immortality has reappeared, but this time, what is unleashed is a blood-soaked, malevolent sword that severs immortality and destroys everything. Wang Hongwu takes a deep breath, and the ten great grotto heavens behind him merge into one, with the nine Celestial Venerables guarding the sole Dao Venerable, forming the Supreme Dao Lord, the Nine Secrets Combined into One - Celestial Venerable Great Unity Transformation!
In that instant, the Nine Secrets, empowered by the Divine Restriction, combined and unleashed a devastating attack, clashing against the Blood Eternal Sword and creating a terrifying shockwave that swept across the entire area.

Everyone else hurriedly retreated, and all that could be seen was the red and white color that blotted out the sky, leaving nothing behind.

As the final, deafening tremor resounded, all the blood mist dissipated, and a figure plummeted from the sky. That body, forged from blood and sin, was shattered, suffering a crushing defeat at the hands of the Holy Venerable.

"Nine Secrets united as one?! You, how could you...?" The Blood Demon Great Sage couldn't comprehend it. How could this be possible? The complete unification of the Nine Secrets? Without any flaws? Only the Emperor and the Undying Heavenly Emperor could achieve that!
He wasn't even this strong when he killed the Underworld Prince, has he broken through again?! What a freak!

No matter how much he refused to accept it, Wang Hongwu ignored him and threw a punch that shattered his entire body, turning him into a pile of mud, his body and soul utterly destroyed.

The Great Sage of Bloodlust has fallen!

"One person died already?!" "That was too fast!"

All the Great Sages who arrived were momentarily stunned. This was too fast! They never expected that the first Crystal Tablet nominee in the Imperial Pass Battle would be eliminated so early!
This can be considered the earliest person in history to fall.

His fall only made the Holy Venerable seem even more terrifying. He immediately killed the disciple of the Eternal Heavenly Venerable, slaying a figure from the mythological era and achieving his own illustrious feat.

What incredible power! One person fought against eight supreme beings and then killed one of them!
At the same time, the crystal tablet outside the Imperial Pass appeared. The name of the Blood Sin Great Sage dimmed and shattered, while the name of Wang Hongwu shone brightly, soaring from the top of the nine-ranked list to the very top.

This sudden turn of events immediately alarmed the saints who were waiting there, and they all showed surprise.

Such a victory was naturally due to good fortune. Unexpected benefits fell upon Wang Hongwu, nourishing him and allowing his realm to advance once again. It was as if he had received all the luck and benefits of the Blood Sin Great Sage. He soared into the sky, broke through the barrier of the Great Sage's domain, and attracted a tribulation of lightning!

Boom!

The Great Calamity is coming.

Streaks of blazing lightning streaked across the once dark starry sky, illuminating eternity. Countless bolts of lightning intertwined densely throughout the universe, transforming into dragons and serpents that lashed out at Wang Hongwu. This was only the prelude. Then, a sea of ​​lightning surged and crashed down, containing mountains, rivers, birds, and beasts. Upon closer inspection, it was a lifelike world, with mythical creatures such as the Kunpeng, White Tiger, Tengshe, and Vermilion Bird roaming the land.

The Great Calamity has arrived!

Witnessing this scene, the expressions of the crowd were somewhat strange. Just now they felt that the physical duel was unfair and were preparing to go out and unseal their magic to get revenge, but in the blink of an eye, the other party was about to break through to the Great Sage level. Now they were back to square one, which was frustrating.

"What a terrifying tribulation!" "Is there really such a great tribulation in the world? Can we really overcome it?"

People were shocked; the path of the Holy Venerable was truly filled with bloodshed, paved with endless corpses.

During the tribulation, he tore apart one lightning bolt after another, comparable to the Great Sage, with his bare hands. Bathed in blood, he traversed the starry sky, his entire being exuding a bloody aura and radiating demonic energy.

Stimulated by this terrifying tribulation, the entire First Tribulation Star burst forth with light, and a passage appeared.

The Second Imperial Pass has been opened!

Everyone's expression shifted. The previous battle was too terrifying, and the bombardment of this lightning tribulation had finally opened up the path ahead, tearing open a road leading to the Second Imperial Pass.

Through that dark crack, one could see the majestic city wall ahead, like a blood-red mountain range towering in the cosmos. It was stained with the blood of true powerhouses, and its color has never faded to this day.

This is the Second Imperial Pass. Some say it was built by the Emperor, while others say it was built even earlier; it's difficult to verify.

The other powerful figures did not hesitate and flew straight in. Having lacked some good fortune at the First Tribulation Star, they needed to find other opportunities to make up for it.

The Holy Venerable already possessed unparalleled aura, and they also felt a great sense of crisis, forced to move forward and even break through.
