My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 854 Horror, Unbelievable, Final Strike (Three Chapters Combined)

"boom!!!"

Above the sky, two streaks of light flashed past like lightning, their speed incredibly fast.

One moment they were not far away, the next they were thousands of feet away!
Among the hundreds of thousands of cultivators present, whether from the righteous or demonic path, none of them could clearly see the details of the fight between the two.

All that could be seen was a fleeting shadow, and terrifying flashes of lightning and fire exploding as they intertwined and collided, as well as spatial rifts that appeared and disappeared amidst the terrifying collision of forces!
At the point where the two clashed and fought
That boundless, terrifying power erupted.

Everything was wiped out!
In just a few breaths,

The two had fought thousands of times, battling their way from inside the city to outside.

Along the way,
Vast areas of urban buildings were instantly torn apart and shattered by the terrifying impact. The earth collapsed and broke open, creating huge craters hundreds of feet in diameter. The ground cracked open under the horrifying impact, with huge, dark cracks thousands of feet long almost piercing through the earth, and large chunks of soil bulging and bursting open.

The enormous impact directly affected the cultivators who were originally watching the battle from a distance.

Some people who reacted slower were thrown over and fell before they could even realize what was happening. Many were buried by the soil and debris that were thrown up into the air!
Accompanied by the torrents whipped up by the shockwave, the force was terrifying, making it impossible for anyone to stand, let alone fly.

As a result, many people were buried alive.

but,

Those bystanders who were caught in the shockwave were already considered lucky!
At least for them, as cultivators, being buried alive by bricks and mud was not a fatal danger.

Once the impact subsides, the burst of magical power within his body will naturally be able to emerge, though he will appear somewhat disheveled.

Compared to them,
Those ordinary cultivators who blocked the path of the two's battle were truly unlucky!

They were just standing there, watching the battle from a distance, when suddenly the two terrifying beings appeared right in front of them as they clashed.

then,

It's still unclear what happened.
In an instant,
Death is coming!

Even at the moment of their death, they didn't know they were going to die!
Suddenly everything went black, and he died on the spot!
Perhaps the more powerful cultivators could vaguely see the scene that led to their death before they died.
Two streaks of black and gold light flashed by like lightning.

Dozens, even hundreds, of people around were torn apart and pulverized in an instant by the terrifying lightning bolts unleashed during the clash!

Along with the surrounding buildings, large swathes of land and soil were reduced to dust and vanished completely!
They were caught in the aftermath.

They were blown apart without any ability to resist from beginning to end!

The scene was absolutely terrifying!
But all of this,
None of this hindered the battle between Shen Changchuan and Zuo Jiuyin in the slightest.

In such a terrifying battle,

A little careless,

That could give the opponent an opportunity to strike a fatal blow and reverse the course of the battle.

Therefore, regardless of who it is,
They had no interest in the outside world whatsoever.

All our energy, more focused than ever before, was concentrated on the formidable enemy on the other side!

The pace of the matches is getting faster and faster.

The attacks became increasingly rapid.
In just a few breaths,
The battle between Shen Changchuan and Zuo Jiuyin covered a distance of more than ten miles, extending the battlefield to outside the Wilderness City!

The entire desolate city was as if it had been swept by a destructive storm, leaving behind a winding "passage" made up of a dense network of huge pits, each hundreds of feet in diameter!
Wherever this "passage" passed, everything on the ground in the city, whether it was residential houses, shops, or caves protected by array formations, was pulverized by the incredibly terrifying destructive impact!

Further away, in some ruins, you can even see some mutilated limbs, blood and flesh mixed with mud and dust, turning into puddles of dark mud!

Those things should have been living, breathing people.

It was only up to this point that...

The cultivators around who witnessed this scene finally came to their senses.

Staring blankly at the shattered earth and the scattered human tissue, blood, and foam, he realized what had happened.

"what!!!"

Some people couldn't hold back any longer, broke down in terror and screamed, and transformed into a streak of light, fleeing rapidly out of the city!

Such a scene,
For some cultivators, this is perhaps too terrifying and frightening.

He spent most of his life diligently cultivating himself, only to be wiped out by a mere aftershock!

This was unacceptable to some cultivators, shattering their Dao hearts and causing them to only want to escape this place.

At this time,
The demonic forces, who had originally blocked the righteous cultivators from leaving the desolate city from the sky, did not stop them.

In fact, they no longer had the ability to stop it.

Because they initially flew in mid-air, setting up a net across the sky to seal off the Desolate City and prevent the cultivators inside from escaping, this directly resulted in extremely heavy casualties for them!

Because in the very first moment of collision and confrontation,
The battlefield where Shen Changchuan and Zuo Jiuyin fought was high in the sky!

The terrifying impact of their clash tore apart and shattered even the thick, dark clouds in the sky, let alone the two of them.
Especially at high altitudes, when there are no obstacles to block the shockwaves generated by the collision, the destructive power of the aftershocks from the fight is almost multiplied!
At that moment, their presence was like that of ordinary people scattered across the square.

The fight between the two was like a terrifying, fully loaded heavy truck that had lost control and was hurtling through the crowd in the square!

It is so potent that anyone who touches it will be injured, and anyone who is brushed against it will die!
Although their mid-air exchange lasted only a breath or two,

However, the demonic cultivators who had gathered high in the sky to block and prevent the righteous cultivators from escaping from the desolate city had already suffered heavy losses in just one or two breaths!
In such a tragic situation,

What ability do we have left to intercept them?

Actually,
In the brief span of a few breaths, these demonic cultivators watched helplessly as their companions suddenly exploded, their bodies shattered to pieces.
Such a horrific scene,
Even those who grew up in harsh environments were left bewildered and unable to accept it.
Even their minds were shaken.

Not to mention upholding one's responsibilities.

"People say that the Divine Ascension Realm is very strong, so strong that cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm have no ability to compare with it. I didn't really believe it before, but now it seems that it's not just incomparable, it's like they're on completely different levels!"

"We can't even see a glimpse of them fighting; their numbers are probably meaningless in the face of beings at the Divine Ascension Realm."

"Actually, that's not the case. I've also seen experts at the first level of the Divine Realm make a move, and their power is far less terrifying than this. The reason for this is that Zuo Jiuyin is at the peak of the third level of the Divine Realm, which is a full two levels higher than an expert at the first level of the Divine Realm!"

"At that level, let alone us, even those at the first or second level of the Divine Travel Realm would probably have difficulty surviving against Zuo Jiuyin!"

"Among the experts in the Divine Travel Realm, Zuo Jiuyin is definitely a strong one. In the entire Tiannan Region cultivation world, apart from the great figure from the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, Immortal Master Youlongzi, probably no one is Zuo Jiuyin's match. He cannot be considered an ordinary Divine Travel Realm expert."

"That's true."

"I don't care how strong that demon Zuo Jiuyin is. His strength has long been proven by his battle record. What I really care about is how Shen Changchuan became so powerful? How could he, with only a Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, directly confront such a terrifying existence? Could it be that what I'm cultivating is a fake Nascent Soul Realm?"

Some people couldn't help but shout out loud, their faces filled with self-doubt, as if they were questioning the meaning of life itself.

As his voice faded, the surroundings fell silent for a moment.
Silence

Some people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Yes,

Everyone is at the Out-of-Body Realm.
Moreover, it's not uncommon to have seen cultivators at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Why is it that someone else at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm is instantly annihilated by a mere graze from the aftershocks of your battle, utterly and irrevocably dead?
Yet you are able to directly confront someone as powerful as Zuo Jiuyin, who is at the peak of the third level of the Divine Travel Realm?
Why are they both at the Astral Projection Realm?
Our strength is less than one-tenth of yours?

Could it be that we are cultivating a false immortality?
The thought was so intense,
Even some cultivators whose Dao hearts had been shattered couldn't help but look over.

"Perhaps, this is the world of geniuses and prodigies!"

"After all, that was the first place in the Immortal Sect Grand Competition, surpassing millions of Nascent Soul Realm geniuses across the entire Southern Region."

"Perhaps we are all at the Nascent Soul stage, but the level we are at is completely different from the world we live in."

finally,
In the silence, someone spoke up with emotion.

Upon hearing this,

Some people nodded thoughtfully.

Think about it too,

The Immortal Sect Grand Competition is a competition that brings together countless geniuses from all thirty-six minor domains of the entire Southern Domain!

It is said that there are tens of thousands of young geniuses at or above the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage among them.

To be able to sweep through these geniuses and prodigies standing at the pinnacle in various places and reach the final step, one is naturally not someone that ordinary people can compare to!

At this time,

Some people only realized it after a while.

Perhaps because Shen Changchuan came from the Tiannan Region, these cultivators from the Tiannan Region had a misunderstanding, feeling that they seemed to be in the same world as him.

But in fact,

The difference in their levels is already enormous!

Don't say anything else,

In the past few hundred years, he has been the number one genius in the cultivation world of Tiannan Region. If he were to be placed in the Immortal Sect Competition, he would probably be considered to be doing well if he could enter the top few thousand!
Not to mention the other Nascent Soul cultivators!
How could ordinary mortals like them possibly imagine Shen Changchuan, who was able to win first place in the Immortal Sect Competition?
To understand this,
Some people looked up at the battlefield outside the city, their eyes filled with a mixture of longing and awe.

In fact,
At this moment, the eyes of the vast majority of cultivators were focused on the great battle outside the city.

At most, it was only because of the tragic incident involving the cultivators who blocked the path of the two fighters in the city that most people dared not get too close to watch and instead watched from a very far distance.

But no matter what,
At this moment, everyone knows that
The tide of battle between the righteous and the demonic factions is no longer in their hands.

Meanwhile, the battle between the two in the sky outside the city has come to an end.

"It's actually come to this!"

Compared to the myriad thoughts swirling in the minds of others, Wu Tianhao, standing in the crowd, felt only a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing both admiration and reflection). He had witnessed Shen Changchuan's actions firsthand.

On the way here, they easily killed two Netherworld Cult members who were at the high level of the Nascent Soul stage.

At the time, he originally thought that Shen Changchuan's strength when he went all out was terrifying.

But at this moment,
Until he witnessed firsthand the battle between the opponent and the formidable demonic enemy, Zuo Jiuyin,

The fates of hundreds of thousands of cultivators in the entire desolate city depended on this person.

Wu Tianhao then realized that his self-perceived overestimation was still a miscalculation of the other party.

"Who would have thought that Shen Changchuan, who now possesses the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm and can rival the peak of the Divine Travel Realm, was once just an illegitimate son who was almost abandoned by the Shen family?"

At this moment,

Wu Tianhao glanced at Shen Yingxia, the third elder of the Shen family, who was staring blankly at the sky outside the city not far away.
A strange thought flashed through my mind.

The thoughts of both the righteous and demonic factions within the desolate city had no impact on the current great battle.

at this time,

Outside the desolate city,

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Accompanied by the deafening roar of thunder,
The aftershocks of their battle were like meteors falling to earth, blasting out huge craters dozens of feet deep into the ground outside the desolate city. Shen Changchuan's magic power, mixed with spatial power, and Zuo Jiuyin's tacit understanding intertwined and exploded, and the resulting storm shredded the clouds within a radius of several miles!

That terrifying scene,

It was as if the apocalypse had struck the world!
At this time,
Zuo Jiuyin no longer looked down on Shen Changchuan, who was fighting fiercely with him!
How could we possibly underestimate it?

Since the opponent forcibly entered the Divine Travel Realm using a secret technique, they have exchanged no less than several thousand blows with him during this period!

In these thousands of exchanges, neither side was at a disadvantage in the slightest!

He was even injured by Shen Changchuan's unexpected attacks using spatial power from some tricky angles!
Even though I don't want to admit it in my heart

All the facts have proven one thing—that the little brat in front of me, whose actual cultivation level is only at the Nascent Soul stage, truly possesses the strength to contend with me!

"hateful!"

A strong sense of resentment, shame, and anger rose in Zuo Jiuyin's heart.

As the biological son of the Seven Deadly Demons, a renowned demonic master in the Southern Yue region,
From the moment he was born, he stood atop a peak that countless people looked up to.

Not only did he easily become the number one among the younger generation in the cultivation world of Southern Yue,
After joining the Netherworld Sect, he used it as a springboard to enter the Heavenly Demon Sect for cultivation.

He is also considered one of the top geniuses in the Heavenly Demon Sect!
Since returning from the Holy Sect, I have participated in this great battle in the Southern Yue region.
He was almost invincible.
Even if two old men of the same realm from the Southern Region joined forces, they were no match for him.

He also believed that, apart from the two disciples from the Jade Purity Sect, no one else could match him in this great battle.

Also because of this,

Instigated by the so-called Holy Maiden of the Holy Sect, he ventured deep into enemy territory, intending to use the so-called Holy Maiden's spies to work from within and without to destroy the city's defensive formation and breach it in one fell swoop.

As a result,
Without logistical support, Broken Soul City would be doomed.

This will bring this war to an end!
before coming,

Zuo Jiuyin never thought that this line of work would bring him much obstacle.

Even after learning about Shen Changchuan and his existence, she felt a sense of joy and excitement.

If you can stifle the genius of a rival sect, the reward from the Holy Sect will be a huge surprise!
result,

He was actually forced into this predicament by this brat he completely disregarded, a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?!
After thousands of moves, he still couldn't defeat his opponent.

Instead, they were the ones who got hurt!
How could he possibly accept this!
But unfortunately,
The reality is that whether you can accept it or not, that's just how it is!

What frustrated Zuo Jiuyin even more was that

Actually,
In terms of magical power, physical strength, spiritual power, and speed, he could clearly overwhelm his opponent.
Even after that brat on the other side used an unknown secret technique to forcibly master the power of the Divine Travel Realm, he still crushed him!
But the problem is,

The spatial power they possess is absolutely disgusting!

Not only did they use spatial teleportation to keep up with my speed, but they even managed to suppress me in terms of movement techniques.

Simultaneously,

The opponent also utilized the characteristics of spatial power.
The force of your attack, which was originally 100% of its power, was eventually reduced to less than 50%!

With each attack, nearly half of the power was directly transferred and eliminated by that strange spatial force!

Even when enraged, each strike is powerful enough to shatter space.

But it was still worn down by that strange spatial power!

He could not exert even half of his full strength.

So much so that it was impossible to inflict enough damage on the other party.
How could Zuo Jiuyin not feel aggrieved by this?!
This battle,
Zuo Jiuyin grew increasingly enraged with each attack!
"Kid! I have to admit, you truly deserve to be the champion of the Jade Purity Sect competition, you do have some skills!"

"But so what? The cultivation level boosted by using secret techniques is only temporary, not your true power!"

"Once your secret technique reaches its time limit, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Zuo Jiuyin's blood-red spear shattered the void, and surging demonic energy swept and churned, pulverizing the area within a hundred feet, and crashed towards Shen Changchuan. At the same time, he roared in exasperation.

He could have crushed his opponent into dust with a single move.

However, it was constantly being reduced and consumed by the opponent's strange spatial power.

This made Zuo Jiuyin feel increasingly frustrated!
But that's okay,
The opponent, having temporarily advanced to the Divine Travel Realm, wielded spatial power and unleashed strength beyond their own realm.
But once the effects of its secret technique wear off, wouldn't it be completely at our mercy?!
The duration of the secret technique,
He can afford to wait!

Zuo Jiuyin stared intently at Shen Changchuan across the void.

The flames of anger in his eyes were almost burning away all his reason!

And at this very moment
It's unclear whether the threat had the effect of distracting the other party.
Or perhaps the opponent's secret technique has truly reached its limit.

Zuo Jiuyin keenly sensed that Shen Changchuan, who had taken his punch head-on, seemed to have weakened his strength.

And his body paused slightly, revealing a slight flaw!
"good chance!"

Zuo Jiuyin was overjoyed.
boom! ! !
The power of the peak of the third level of the Divine Realm erupted once again, and the terrifying power propelled his speed to an even greater level. The blood-red spear in his hand burst out with dazzling light, and he charged towards Shen Changchuan like lightning once more!
His figure arrived in an instant.

The spear in his hand pierced through the sky like lightning, carrying an irresistible force that crashed down on Shen Changchuan!
This attack,
Zuo Jiuyin's attack was both swift and ruthless.
A look of panic appeared on Shen Changchuan's face as he barely managed to control the power of space, gathering it into a spatial torrent to resist.

But under Zuo Jiuyin's blood-red spear imbued with boundless rage, the space shattered layer by layer!

boom!
Shen Changchuan's shoulder was pierced through, and his body was instantly sent flying by the immense force.

A mouthful of blood spurted from the corner of his mouth.

At this moment, his breathing became disordered.

The aura of the Divine Travel Realm was somewhat unstable, as if it would fall back to the Nascent Soul Realm at any moment!

Seeing this scene,
"Ha ha!!"

Zuo Jiuyin laughed loudly.
He felt that all the frustration he had accumulated during the previous battle was released at this moment, and he felt extremely happy!
Zuo Jiuyin, once he gained power, was relentless.

He leaned forward again.

At this time,
He completely let down his last bit of defense!
There's no need to be on guard anymore!

The opponent's aura was already too weak to maintain the power of the Divine Realm, and the originally fused essence, energy and spirit had begun to dissipate!
Having suffered such a blow, he was severely injured and had no ability to resist.

"Lie down properly!"

Zuo Jiuyin grinned maliciously, his overwhelming demonic energy expanding as he transformed into a giant demon god. He stretched out his terrifying giant hand and struck out at Shen Changchuan.
An overwhelming force surged forth, transforming into a colossal hand that blotted out the sky, reaching out to grab Shen Changchuan, whose aura was rapidly declining!
At this moment, Shen Changchuan,

His aura rapidly declined, and he had already fallen below the Divine Travel Realm.

Even after falling to the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, the decline didn't stop; it continued rapidly.
Nine levels of astral projection, eight levels of astral projection, seven levels of astral projection
His vital energy was becoming increasingly weak.
The once jet-black hair on top of his head had turned gray in strands.

It seems to have suffered a devastating backlash from the secret technique!

"laugh!"

Zuo Jiuyin chuckled, his excitement growing, and his smiling face becoming increasingly ferocious.
He could almost see the scene of capturing the little devil in front of him, tearing out his tendons and skinning him, torturing him severely, and then grinding his bones to dust!
Zuo Jiuyin involuntarily mobilized the last of his internal strength.

The colossal hand that covered the sky shattered vast swathes of vacuum.
We must completely subdue Shen Changchuan!
however,
At this very moment,
call out!
A beam of pitch-black light, seemingly devouring all light and color, suddenly erupted from Shen Changchuan!

The beam of light was so fast that Zuo Jiuyin didn't even have time to react before it struck his body!
Do not,
wrong!

It wasn't that the dark beam of light that was fast.
Instead,

Time as I perceive it has slowed down!

The time we perceive has been stripped away by some force!
That is the true meaning of time!
In a flash,

A thought flashed through Zuo Jiuyin's mind.
The immense power that had been gathered in his palm completely dissipated.

then,

He then discovered that,

My body was rapidly withering and decaying, my skin was quickly becoming brittle and wrinkled, my long hair on my head was turning completely white in an instant, my vision was becoming blurry, and my body was emanating an aura of decay from the inside out!
"This is what I am"

Zuo Jiuyin looked down at his wrinkled hands.
Suddenly a flash of sword light appeared before my eyes.
My vision blurred and then the world spun around me before my consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.
