Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 482 Using a Thousand Years of Cultivation as a Furnace (Bonus Chapter!)
"To be honest, I don't really believe it."

Ren Shaoyang stood quietly in place, his longsword glowing red like fire.

"Don't believe me?" Di Shitian shouted, "You think you can defeat me with your dragon blood??" He glanced at the white robe, his eyes flashing with a fierce light.

Ren Shaoyang sighed and said, "You didn't understand before."

Indra sneered, "Understand what?"

"The difference between the Way and the skill."

Ren Shaoyang narrowed his eyes, a strange light shooting out from his pupils.

When Di Shitian touched it, he felt his blood boil. He hurriedly raised his sleeve to cover his vision and shouted, "Bullshit Dao! My 'Sacred Heart Technique' is invincible!" As he spoke, he held the Dragon Essence in his palm and chuckled coldly, "Moreover, I now have the Dragon Essence in my hand."

"Your so-called 'Harmonious Law' can be overturned with a flick of the wrist!"

"I bother!"

Red Sleeves walked in barefoot, laughing loudly, "Old Popsicle, are you going to eat this giant meatball at the last minute? Have you forgotten the horrors on the ship?"

“Ren Hongxiu!” Di Shitian glanced at her and sneered, “I haven’t thanked you yet.”

Hongxiu chuckled: "Why thank me?"

"If it weren't for that cup of 'goji berry tea' you gave me, how would I have known that the essence blood of divine beasts is in conflict?"

Hongxiu put her hands on her hips and laughed, "Then why aren't you saying thank you?"

"Thank you?" Upon hearing this, Di Shitian's face flushed red. He chuckled coldly twice and gritted his teeth, saying, "I thank you for eight generations of your ancestors!"

"Crippled man, he insulted me!" The little beggar grabbed Ren Shaoyang's sleeve and complained repeatedly, "He insulted your dearest sister!"

"I know, I know," Ren Shaoyang laughed. "All barking and whining, he wants you, but do you want him?"

"Of course we'll bite back!"

Hongxiu jumped up, spitting fire from her nostrils, grinning her white teeth as she "huffed and puffed."

Ding An walked over carrying the eagle-shaped sword and said seriously, "Di Shitian, you have no chance of winning against the three of us!"

Hongxiu chuckled, "Even if you eat the Dragon Essence, it won't help!"

Ren Shaoyang asked, "Do you dare to eat it?"

"What is there to be afraid of?" Di Shitian sneered. "I have already condensed the phoenix blood into essence. Now, I will swallow the dragon essence, and the dragon and phoenix will become one, thus achieving the path to godhood!" With that, he swallowed the dragon essence into his mouth. With a quick movement of his throat, it fell into his stomach.

"Hey!" Hongxiu's eyes widened. "You actually want to eat it?"

But then Indra was surrounded by a red aura, and suddenly spread his hands out.

"Drink!"

A fierce shout rang out, followed immediately by a thunderous roar in the sky, its terrifying pressure sending chills down one's spine. The night sky, which had been clear of stars and moon, was suddenly filled with inky clouds like a black sea, churning endlessly for miles around.

The next moment, a fierce wind howled, sounding like a tiger's roar, and snowflakes began to fall slowly from the sky.

Hooray!
Another loud explosion followed, and hundreds of thunderclaps, each as thick as a water bucket, rained down, as if it were the end of the world.

Indra stood silently in the air, his eyes flashing with lightning, his beard and hair flying upwards like an inverted waterfall.

With a casual gesture, lightning bolts were drawn into his palm, as if he were holding hundreds of thunder dragons and electric pythons, which struggled and roared, their cries shaking the heavens.

“Heh~” Hongxiu suddenly calmed down and smiled slightly, “He is truly brave.”

“Yes!” Ren Shaoyang nodded.

"What are you talking about?" Ding'an was completely confused. "Dragon Essence, such a big Dragon Essence, gone!"

"Don't worry," Ren Shaoyang said with a smile, "He doesn't know the right method, so it's useless."

Hongxiu raised an eyebrow: "He'll vomit it all back up the way he ate it!" With that, she flipped her hand and tossed each of them a porcelain bottle. "Take drugs!"

Ding An shrugged and saw it was a Hundred-Day Ten-Dragon Pill. He couldn't help but shudder and blurted out, "Little beggar, does this stuff turn you into a giant tree if you eat it?"

Ren Shaoyang swallowed hard: "It's red!"

"Oh my! It's been improved, improved!" Hongxiu said, tilting her head back as she swallowed the medicine, grimacing. "It just needs to get the dragon blood 'burning' inside us first for it to work!" She chuckled. "However, as long as we can get rid of Old Popsicle and neutralize the medicine's effects with the dragon and phoenix essence, we can turn misfortune into good fortune!"

Ding'an stared blankly, at a loss for what to do.

"Trust the little beggar." Ren Shaoyang sighed, "Kneel!" He tilted his head back and kowtowed.

Seeing this, Ding'an no longer hesitated and followed suit.

"Ha~!" *3
After the three took the medicine, their energy levels changed dramatically. With just a breath, the surrounding earth trembled.

"Quick victory."

The three villains roared and pounced at once.

"Fine!" Di Shitian sneered, "The three of you can come at me together, saving me the trouble!" He clasped his hands together, and thousands of bolts of lightning converged into one, transforming into a lightning sword.

Whoosh! A blue light shot into the sky, bursting out in all directions, and the scattered lightning caused the surrounding land to rumble and explode.

"If you are the law of heaven," Di Shitian roared, his hair and flesh crackling with arcs of lightning, "I am the will of heaven!"

In an instant, the self-proclaimed god among men met three bumpkins from the northern frontier.

Like two long rainbows, or two dazzling stars, colliding from afar.

In the blink of an eye, the winds of change swept across the land, and the world fell silent.

"boom!"

The earth-shattering roar reverberated for miles around and spread in all directions.

The sword energy, fire, and chilling aftershocks, which seemed to be tangible, rippled outwards in a huge circle, accompanied by a deafening roar like mountains collapsing.

The violent force continued its momentum, gradually receding into the distance, but it stirred up a massive tsunami tens of meters high in the surrounding sea, which spread wildly in all directions.

In an instant, the wind and clouds dispersed, the thunder stopped and the snow melted, and the clear, jade-like sky reappeared.

Under the influence of this earth-shattering force, the group retreated dozens of feet, facing each other with calm expressions.

"The three of you actually possess such a combined attack technique?"

A look of surprise flashed across Di Shitian's face. He hadn't expected that these three bastards would have been hiding such a trump card all along!

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "You didn't ask."

Hongxiu laughed heartily: "Even if you ask, I won't tell you."

Ding'an scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly, "I don't know either!"

"Hmph, it's nothing but a desperate resistance." Di Shitian was only taken aback for a moment, then, with an overwhelming aura, he took a step forward, "I will send you on your way!"

"Old Ghost, your time is running out!"

Hongxiu, wielding her "Candle Red" sword, and Ding'an, holding her eagle-blade, charged towards Di Shitian from the left and right respectively.

Suddenly, a soft laugh was heard, and the figure of Indra vanished. The two felt a chill on the back of their necks, only to see him reappear from thin air, reaching out to grab them.

Just then, a sword rang out, and the sword flashed away like a startled swan. With a whoosh, Di Shitian's hands were severed, and he immediately retreated sharply.

Ding An roared and brandished his eagle-blade, sweeping it towards Di Shitian's legs.

Hongxiu flashed behind him and beheaded him with a single stroke.

Brush brush!
The three attacked simultaneously, and amidst Di Shitian's eerie laughter, they cleaved him into three pieces, his head, body, legs, and hands scattered on the ground.

The three villains landed gracefully, and Hongxiu frowned: "No blood?"

Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "The words 'immortality' are not just empty words."

Ding An exclaimed in surprise, "Is Emperor Shitian now invincible?"

Before he could finish speaking, Indra burst into wild laughter, and his head, resembling a ball, shot into the sky with a "whoosh."

All that could be heard was a continuous "thump, thump, thump" sound, as his hands, feet, and body flew around and then stuck together as if they were building blocks!
"Damn it!" Hongxiu's eyes widened; her hair was slowly turning red, like a burning flame.

"It looks really eerie!" "The drug is taking effect." Ren Shaoyang, who also had red hair, simply took off his hair crown and let it fall loose. "Is Di Shitian's about to take effect too?"

Hongxiu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "A few more times will do!"

"Good!" Ren Shaoyang strode away. "Dragon Essence, Phoenix Blood, plus the Qilin and Dragon Turtle. The combined essence of the four divine beasts is about to be born!"

Ding An's face turned bright red, as if he had just read pornography, and he shouted, "Crippled man, little beggar, I... I feel like I'm about to explode!"

"Then let's go together!"

The little beggar shouted and charged forward again.

Di Shitian sneered, "Overestimating yourself!" He stretched out his right hand, which had transformed into a dragon claw, and fiercely grabbed at Hongxiu's throat.

The little beggar dodged slightly, and the claw passed under her armpit. With a gentle squeeze of her arm, Di Shitian felt as if the dragon claw had pierced into the rock and could no longer be pulled out.

How did her strength become so immense?

Emperor Shitian panicked and increased the pressure on her hands by three points, trying to lift her up.

Seeing the panic flash across his face, Hongxiu knew he was about to exert all his strength, and laughed, "Why are you still so impatient?" Suddenly she released her grip and loosened her grip on the dragon claw.

Indra's attempt to reclaim his power failed, and he involuntarily took a step back.

With just this one step, millions of crimson lightning bolts suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Di Shitian focused his attention and saw that this was not blood-red lightning at all, but clearly the thousands of sword flowers unleashed by the Sword God Ren!
"Damn it!" Di Shitian roared furiously.

He regarded Ren Shaoyang as a formidable enemy, but Ren Shaoyang regarded him as nothing. How could he not be furious? He immediately drew circles with both hands, and the dragon claw and sword light trembled together.

But a loud, clanging sound shook the heavens and earth, causing the great lake to ripple and surge.

"Water and fire are in harmony!"

Bald-headed Ding'an, filled with rage, stamped his feet and lunged forward, slashing with his sword.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Indra was also furious. With a flick of his hand, he slammed the Dragon-Capturing Blade and the gleaming white eagle blade together.

A knife, a sword, and a dragon claw clashed together.

No frills, no tricks, just straightforward and domineering.

In an instant, there was a loud "boom".

Like mountains colliding, the earth shook and the boundless flames swept and soared into the sky like a red lotus!
At the center of the flames, Di Shitian pressed down on his sword and laughed loudly, "Ren Shaoyang, Li Ding'an, what other tricks do you two have up your sleeves? Show them to us!"

As he spoke, he suddenly shuddered and unleashed the "Nahai Sacred Heart Mantra".

This is a mental cultivation method that can assimilate the true energy, internal force, and even the primordial spirit of others, like the ocean embracing all rivers and nothing is beyond its reach. Now, when Indra uses it, he intends to drain the two of them dry.

Once those two are dead, then we'll deal with that damned little whore!

Just as Di Shitian was absorbing this power, Ren Shaoyang smiled and said, "Methods? I have plenty, but I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand them!" He turned to Ding An and said, "Increase the firepower!"

Ding An laughed loudly: "Alright!" He immediately unleashed a barrage of fire energy.

Indra snorted: "You want me to choke to death?"

Ren Shaoyang chuckled: "Xu Fu, haven't you ever heard a saying?"

"What?" Di Shitian frowned.

"One rat spoils the whole pot of soup."

Ren Shaoyang chuckled and flicked the sword lightly with his left hand, his fingers overlapping.

"deep!"

The sword that captures dragons trembled continuously, as if it had become a halo of light.

"Ugh~!" *2
Ding An and Di Shitian were both jolted, and immediately began to tremble like leaves.

But their feelings were completely different.

Ding An felt completely refreshed. The dragon blood power within him was dispersed by the shock and integrated into every part of his body, as if he had taken a hot bath, feeling extremely comfortable.

However, Di Shitian felt differently. He felt that the phoenix blood and dragon essence in his body were turned upside down by this shock, and the original harmony was immediately broken.

It was like a troublemaker had come along, turning the perfectly organized true energy upside down!

In an instant, Di Shitian felt his true energy surging and his meridians throbbing. What he had absorbed was not internal energy, but a "bomb," which forced him to shake the two of them apart.

"Hahaha, old ghost, watch how powerful Ding'an is!"

Ding An leaped up and unleashed a powerful strike called "Blazing Passion," its fierce flames illuminating the heavens and earth.

"Hmph, you're not qualified!"

Indra was utterly disdainful and threw a punch.

This punch, steady as a mountain, was increasingly oppressive, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.

Just as the two were about to collide.

Ren Shaoyang held the sword blade and gently slashed it.

"Yuan~!"

A clear, trembling sound drifted over, gently wafting past the two of them.

"when!"

Fist and knife clashed.

Ding An stood motionless, sword raised, ready to strike.

Indra slid back several dozen feet and fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

Seeing him fall so awkwardly, Ding'an laughed loudly, "I've never seen a god who tumbles and crawls like that before!"

"How is this possible?!" Indra, enraged and embarrassed, sprang up abruptly and shouted, "How could you suddenly become so strong?"

Suddenly, something occurred to him. He abruptly turned around, staring intently at the man in white, his tone resolute: "Was it you who did this?"

Ren Shaoyang stood with his sword on his back and smiled: "Since the Harmonious Law can disrupt your harmony," he raised his eyebrows and gestured with his fingertips as if making a universe, "it can also make Ding'an's swordsmanship a little more harmonious."

"This is what you call a tiny bit?"

Indra was stunned. He hadn't expected that Ren Shaoyang was not only a main warrior and assassin, but also a support!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.

Suddenly, Indra felt a slight dizziness, as if there were endless double images, and a blazing heat flowed straight through his dantian, making his heart feel like it was on fire. He immediately put one hand to his forehead, staggered, and stared at Ren Shaoyang with a strange expression on his face.

"Ren Shaoyang, it was you who played the poison. No, that's not right!!!"

Indra suddenly turned his head and looked at the girl standing on the dragon's corpse, struggling to cut off the dragon's horns.

"It's you who poisoned me again!"

Hongxiu was sawing the dragon horns with a "whoosh" sound when she heard this. She put her hands on her hips and smiled: "Old popsicle, this isn't poison either."

Indra lowered his hand, and red scales appeared on his forehead, while a patch of greenish-blue keratin appeared on his chest.

It doesn't look like a human; it looks more like a demon or monster.

"What exactly did you add to the Dragon Essence?"

At this moment, Indra hated her to the extreme. He felt his internal organs tighten and squeeze together, causing him unbearable pain. He stared wide-eyed and gritted his teeth, blood spurting from his jaw.

“Qilin horn,” Hongxiu said, shrugging. “And dragon turtle shell, both are highly nutritious.” She tilted her head and smiled, revealing her little tiger teeth. Her white little feet twitched little by little, and the golden bells jingled.

"Old popsicle, use your body as a furnace to forcefully fuse the four essential elements. When yin and yang are in turmoil and the four elements are unified, that will be the moment when a wondrous thing is born."

The little beggar's eyes flashed with a chilling light, and he let out a cold laugh.

"At that time, it will help us achieve immortality!"
