A master of comedy!

"Looks like you're not feeling too good... Did you eat too much?"

Faced with that powerful and domineering aura, Zhou Sheng smiled faintly, his voice remaining calm, as if everything was under his control.

The Golden-Winged Roc forcibly devoured the flesh and blood and fortune of the entire court, hoping to break through to a higher realm quickly. However, haste makes waste, and his current emotional instability indicates that he has overeaten.

If given three to five months to slowly refine it, it might actually be able to cultivate to the Ninth Tribulation Celestial Immortal Realm. In this era where gods and Buddhas have disappeared, Celestial Immortals are the symbol of invincibility.

Even Zhou Sheng, who controls the Great Dao of Time, cannot contend with it, and may not even be able to escape.

Unfortunately, he no longer has that time.

"You really think you've got me cornered?"

Zhou Sheng's nonchalant demeanor enraged the Golden-Winged Roc. He was already arrogant and domineering in Mount Ling, daring to disrespect even the Victorious Fighting Buddha, let alone a mere mortal.

Even if a tiger falls into the plains, it is still not something you ants can bully!

A golden light emanated from him, and he launched a fierce attack!

……

Boom!

Just as the abbot led his disciples down the mountain and away from the world, the ground suddenly shook violently beneath their feet. Then, dark clouds filled the sky, and rolling purple lightning descended like a torrential downpour.

The vast fluctuations of magical power startled even this Earth Immortal, making him feel as if he were a small boat in a raging storm. He quickly led his disciples to continue their escape.

The sky collapsed, the earth cracked, flames roared, thunder roared...

The earth, water, wind, and fire were in turmoil, causing the entire Fengzhou region to be violently shaken, with countless natural disasters occurring simultaneously, as if a catastrophe and the end of the world had suddenly arrived.

The abbot did his best to save the people while secretly being alarmed.

Who exactly is the Celestial Venerable fighting?
The Peng bird in the murals of my temple, though somewhat wondrous and capable of vanquishing evil spirits, certainly does not possess such earth-shattering supernatural powers.

If this fighting continues, the entire Fengzhou will probably be wiped out!
On the other side, Zhou Sheng also realized that the commotion caused by the two fighting was too great, which had affected the stability of earth, water, wind and fire, and was destroying the structure of this world.

The river of time flows on and sweeps it along.

Then let's battle it out in the long river of time!

In Earth terms, this is equivalent to a higher-dimensional space, where no matter how big the battle is, it will not affect the real world.

However, the Golden-Winged Roc, as expected of someone at the peak of the Eight Tribulations, displayed a resilience far superior to that of Yama.

He unleashed his demonic powers, creating a black hole that swallowed even time itself, as unshakeable as an abyss.

Heaven and earth may perish, but I will not perish; time may end, but I will not end!

That domineering and extremely powerful demonic intent even attempted to transcend time, tread upon the long river, and fight against Zhou Sheng.

Neither the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder nor the Jade Pivot Heavenly Fire, nor even the Pure Yang Sword Qi, could extinguish that chaotic demonic intent.

Zhou Sheng frowned, took the initiative to release his primordial spirit, and used the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique.

Flying sword slays demons!

The primordial spirit transformed into countless celestial sword lights, colliding with the demonic intent and engaging in a battle of spiritual will. The sword lights cleaved through the chaos, finally shaking the terrifying black hole.

A crisp sound.

Countless fine sword marks instantly appeared on the old eunuch's body, but instead of blood, they flowed out dark demonic energy.

He let out a muffled groan, a fierce glint in his eyes. This human body was far too weak to withstand the erosion of time, which was why he had been defeated.

"You lost."

Countless sword lights coalesced into the shape of Zhou Sheng, his voice calm.

This was the first time he had ever fought so hard in the same realm. He used all his skills and exhausted nearly half of his magic power before he could barely defeat his opponent. This was only because his physical body was a burden; otherwise, his sword light might not have been able to cleave through the demonic intent.

The Golden-Winged Roc truly lives up to its reputation as the leader of the Five Demons, a peak Eight Tribulations level existence!

"It's still too early to tell who will emerge victorious!"

With a furious roar, the old eunuch voluntarily abandoned his physical body, transforming his primordial spirit into a roc. However, his golden feathers turned pitch black, each one filled with terrifying demonic intent.

Zhou Sheng's pupils narrowed, and he urged the River of Time to stir up a thousand layers of giant waves, wanting to sink it into it.

But the roc flapped its wings and forcefully broke through the passage of time, returning to the human world once more.

Zhou Sheng's expression changed slightly. This was the first time that someone of the same level had been able to forcibly break through the Time Blockade and shake off the Great Dao's restraints.

The strength of the Golden-Winged Roc's primordial spirit far exceeded his imagination.

Zhou Sheng swallowed a magic pill to replenish his magical power, and was about to continue the pursuit when he suddenly saw a ring flying towards him.

The tortoise shell and Luoshu suddenly trembled, releasing an intense desire.

That's... a dragon-shaped jade thumb ring?

As the Golden-Winged Roc abandoned its physical body, the dragon-shaped jade ring that it always carried with it naturally fell off its hand, and whether intentionally or not, it just happened to land in front of Zhou Sheng.

The dragon's eyes turned, and through the ring's exterior, it could be seen that a dragon vein was sealed inside.

It is depicted as a small yellow dragon with scales and horns, with a gentle nature and an exceptionally good ear, capable of distinguishing the sounds of all things. It is often carved on the head of a musical instrument.

It was none other than the final dragon vein, Qiuniu!
It turns out that the Qiuniu Dragon Vein was sealed in this ring, which the Golden-Winged Roc wore year-round, using its own energy to seal and suppress it.

Perhaps the Golden-Winged Roc wanted to devour this dragon vein, but failed, so it sealed it away, hoping to absorb the nation's fortune more quickly by borrowing the power of the dragon vein.

I never expected to obtain the last dragon vein so quickly.

Zhou Sheng put away the ring, preparing to finish off the Golden-Winged Roc, but his eyes suddenly widened in shock.

After abandoning its physical body and breaking free from the River of Time, the Golden-Winged Roc's primordial spirit did not continue its escape. Instead, it arrived at the summit of Pengyou Mountain, chanting incantations as if summoning someone.

Boom!

The earth veins of Pengyou Mountain trembled, and the mountain range, which resembled a roc, suddenly cracked open, revealing a... corpse.

It was a giant roc, dead for countless years, yet its flesh and blood remained uncorrupted, and even its feathers shone with golden light, as if cast from gold.

In an instant, Zhou Sheng understood the other party's plan.

Whoosh!
The Golden-Winged Roc's primordial spirit flew into the corpse, and then the Roc's corpse trembled slightly, revealing a terrifying aura like that of a primordial beast.

His eyelids twitched slightly, and he woke up.

"Zhou Sheng, let's fight again!"

The Golden-Winged Roc let out a long roar and then attacked again. Its golden blood energy soared into the sky, and its wings spread wide, almost blotting out the sun. Boundless Buddhist light emanated from its body, as dazzling as the sun.

This was his last trump card: the physical body he had been forced to abandon years ago.

At that time, his physical body was severely damaged, and he could only possess another body to rebuild it, but in fact he did not give up this physical body.

Over the years, he transformed his physical body into Pengyou Mountain, specially instructing monks to protect it. For thousands of years, the morning bells and evening drums have been used to nourish this physical body.

While it may not be able to restore it to its peak strength, it can still achieve a unity of mind and body and unleash considerable combat power.

With a primordial spirit at the peak of the eighth tribulation realm, coupled with a powerful physical body capable of contending with the ninth tribulation realm, he intends to devour Zhou Sheng alive in this battle!
"Your Path of Time is delicious; I'm determined to devour it!"
