Begin immortality by slaying demons

Dense gray fog churned slowly, deathly silent, like a boundless ocean.

For cultivators seeking the Taixu Dao Fruit, this Taixu Realm, filled with gray fog, was always the safest place.

However, now, this fog was permeated with chilling murderous intent.

With a heavy exhale, those turbid eyes opened again, filled with the familiar greed, but now with an added hint of sinister brutality.

As the master of the Three Immortals Sect, and being someone who rarely concerned himself with worldly affairs,

Ancestor Shenxu rarely experienced emotions like anger.

But this time was different.

The Heaven-sent Elixir, which he was determined to obtain, actually dared to harbor thoughts of self-preservation, and almost escaped while he was taking a nap.

"Taixu Pill Emperor?"

"Overpowering all the prodigies and intercepting the Bodhi Sect's scripture?"

"Such a resounding title, such fierce methods… Almost scared even this old ancestor."

A raspy laughter echoed from the gray fog, filled with undisguised mockery.

Like seeing a fat fish in a dish, not yet completely dead, struggling desperately, trying to make a spectacle of itself, but ultimately unable to escape this jade plate.

As the voice spread from all directions, the eyes in the gray fog gradually rose, as if an unimaginable giant was standing up in the fog. With a turn of their pupils, they ruthlessly looked down below.

“……”

Shen Yi had no intention of arguing with Ancestor Shenxu.

If any normal cultivator were to discover that a disciple they had accidentally taken in possessed such talent and strength, unless they were out of their mind, their first reaction would never be to treat him as a pill to be consumed.

Killing the chicken to get the egg was so foolish that it didn't seem like a sane person, or even a person at all.

Shen Yi calmed his mind, his deep gaze trying to penetrate the gray fog in front of him, but unfortunately, he could not find Ancestor Shenxu's true form.

Third-Rank Dao Fruits each possessed unique mysteries.

When it came to preserving one's life, the Taixu lineage was definitely outstanding, far surpassing others.

Shen Yi didn't feel impatient. After all, he wasn't the only one cultivating this path; there was also Ancestor Shenxu. The stronger the Dao Fruit, the better it was for him.

Moreover… as mentioned earlier, the one who should be more anxious now was this ancestor who couldn't wait to ascend.

Earlier in the courtyard, Shen Yi had overheard the conversations between the peak masters of Shenxu Mountain.

A cultivator who couldn't even restrain his emotions when breaking through actually devoured the disciples of an entire peak. It seemed fierce, but the information it revealed gave people a bit more confidence.

"Worthy of someone who has made a name for himself."

"Now you even have the courage to look directly at this old ancestor."

Ancestor Shenxu stared at the young man below, still remembering that the last time in Shenxu Mountain, the other party didn't even dare to raise his head, only blindly consuming pills, trying to prove his worth, begging for his life to be spared.

That's right.

After killing so many prodigies, eager to survive, he must have taken the opportunity to get acquainted with some Daluo Immortals or Bodhisattvas.

With backers behind him, his confidence would naturally increase, and even his spine would straighten.

Unfortunately, all beings are ants. No matter how many you've seen, unless you truly step into this realm, you can never imagine the terrifying gap between Taiyi and Daluo.

Six thousand kalpas of foundation are enough for you to dominate the world, but wanting to cross this threshold seems absurdly laughable.

"You really think this old ancestor's kalpa power is for you to eat for free."

Ancestor Shenxu didn't say anything more, instantly mobilizing the kalpa power golden seal he had left in the young man's body.

To stay in the Taixu Realm, one must have an anchor; otherwise, one would be like a lone boat, sinking and dying in an instant.

And Shen Yi's anchor had long been controlled by Ancestor Shenxu.

He didn't want to hurt this Heaven-sent Elixir.

In an instant,

Shen Yi felt the connection between himself and the Taixu Golden Core being severed by the seal.

Compared to Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva, who still needed him to work for the Bodhi Sect, Ancestor Shenxu never had similar thoughts, so the restraints he left were even more uncompromising.

The surrounding gray fog suddenly became unfamiliar, and the rolling waves of fog roared and engulfed Shen Yi.

The Taixu Realm was such a profound existence that, without obtaining the corresponding Dao Fruit or mastering similar methods, even a Third-Rank powerhouse risked succumbing to it.

Ancestor Shenxu didn't intend to speak.

He had entered the Divine Excursion Taixu Realm, his soul connected to this world. This boundless gray fog was his gaping maw.

However, as he prepared to break through with all his strength, he suddenly discovered that the "Heavenly Elixir" was not entering his stomach.

Ancestor Shenxu looked down again.

He saw that under the swirling gray fog, Shen Yi was still looking at him with that calm gaze, his fair face without a trace of panic. Although the surrounding gray fog tightly缠住him, it couldn't make him sink.

"Hmm?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Ancestor Shenxu's eyes, until he noticed the faint white light emanating from Shen Yi's body. His pupils couldn't help but move slightly: "I didn't know that my own treasure pill could one day rise to a high position in the heavens."

“……”

Shen Yi had anticipated that his Taixu Dao Fruit would be sealed as soon as he entered.

But the so-called anchor was just a connection that pulled him back to the real world, and the Immortal Seal was undoubtedly one of the creations most closely connected to that world.

His last action of reaching out and patting Ye Lan's shoulder was to leave the Immortal Seal on her.

"Are you planning to stare me to death with those eyes?"

As his ink robe fluttered, Shen Yi's body radiated a faint light, and he slowly stepped out of the gray fog, actually approaching Ancestor Shenxu.

"Heh."

Taking the young man's actions into his eyes, Ancestor Shenxu was silent for a moment, then suddenly chuckled.

The young man's response was completely fine, even revealing some cleverness and intelligence.

But precisely because of this, when these actions were completely meaningless, it was even more laughable.

"Courting death."

The moment the cold voice sounded, the gray fog in the sky churned again, but compared to the previous unconscious engulfing, it was now obviously controlled, whistling and turning into a pair of large hands, followed by a towering, immeasurable body.

At the very top were those turbid eyes.

When this world transformed into a giant, an intense sense of oppression finally enveloped Shen Yi's entire body.

But his pace didn't slow down at all.

Even as those huge hands, carrying the weight of the sky, pressed down fiercely from overhead.

Petals of lotus leaves floated from Shen Yi's sleeves, setting off a ten-thousand-zhang Buddha light, condensing into the appearance of six arms. The golden river galloped wildly, and the illusion moved with him.

With a simple wave of his sleeve, the illusory figure mirrored the gesture, effortlessly shattering the oncoming hand of gray mist.

Rumble!

Shen Yi walked up to the gray mist giant, and under the gaze of its eyes, he kicked forward without a word, as if wanting to topple a small mound of dirt in front of him.

However, manifested on the six-armed illusory figure, this fierce kick was like a golden thunderbolt tearing through the sky, in a violent roar, blasting the body that Divine Void Old Ancestor had just condensed back into a sky full of gray mist!

"Is that interesting?"

Shen Yi lightly ground his boot heel, slightly lowering his eyes: "Come out."

His indifferent tone carried a hint of command.

Clearly, he was a "celestial pill" that had been forcibly brought into the Realm of Great Void, but now he was putting on an overbearing display.

Perhaps he had been dormant for too long.

Suddenly seeing this golden light, Divine Void Old Ancestor found it somewhat dazzling. He squinted his eyes, staring blankly at the six-armed illusory figure as tall as himself, his voice growing hoarse:

"You are… a Bodhisattva?"

The scene before him gave Divine Void Old Ancestor the feeling that the fat fish on the plate had suddenly turned into a person.

He looked down at Shen Yi again.

Any third-grade expert, in this situation, would have to start considering whether it was worth it.

The six-thousand-tribulation treasure pill was indeed fragrant and delicious, but to fight to the death with a cultivator of the same realm for it would not be worthwhile.

Just like the Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva before, the moment Shen Yi revealed the Bodhisattva Dharmakaya, he unhesitatingly retreated, his mind filled with thoughts of how to evacuate the Divine Dynasty's territory.

Divine Void Old Ancestor was now in the Realm of Great Void. Unless he encountered a Grand Unrestrained Golden Immortal or that Great自在 Bodhisattva, and even then, only if those two had specifically prepared means to deal with him, escaping would be extremely simple.

But after a long silence, he let out a laugh like a broken gong: "A Bodhisattva from the Bodhi Sect… is a pill… thirty-six numbers…"

"Only thirty-six numbers! Stepping on the Realm of Great Void!"

"You dare summon me out!"

The surrounding gray mist parted like curtains, and the enormous eyes slowly disappeared into the horizon.

Only silence remained, a desolate and gray land.

The next moment, a figure of normal size suddenly condensed in front of Shen Yi, their faces only an inch apart, close enough to call it face-to-face.

An old man with white hair and beard, wearing a silk gauze robe, six strands of translucent ribbons fluttering behind him without wind.

He should have looked like an immortal sage.

But because of the old man's twitching eyes and distorted features, the whole person looked terrifying:

"Old Ancestor is out, what can you do to me?"

"…"

Shen Yi looked at the slightly scarlet eyes in front of him.

He pondered for a moment.

The next moment, a hand with distinct joints slapped the old man's face without warning, and golden rivers surged wildly, pouring out vast power.

Smack!

Divine Void Old Ancestor flew backward, like a perfect stone skipping across the gray land, bouncing more than a dozen times.

After sliding for a hundred feet, he lay on the ground, staring straight at Shen Yi, one hand covering his face, still full of disbelief.

Although he had appeared, he… he was a soul body!

It was at this moment that Divine Void Old Ancestor noticed that the towering illusory figure had somehow lowered its body, its six arms like heavenly pillars, firmly inserted into this void land, covering him like a prison.

Under the golden light emanating from the six arms, all laws were suppressed!

This was just one of the methods Shen Yi had comprehended from the damaged fruit position.

With the panel deduction and comprehension during this time, he was no longer the brute Bodhisattva who only had cultivation.

"Well done, well done."

Divine Void Old Ancestor murmured, nodding repeatedly. If not for this slap, he would have almost forgotten his innate ferocity!

In an instant, he flipped over and stood up.

It was as if earth dragons were turning over in the gray land. In a series of cracking sounds, strands of black, even deeper than the gray mist, rose from the cracks, instantly entangling the golden six arms like heavenly pillars.

The majestic tribulation power was finally unleashed, and the Heavenly Dao order origin belonging to Divine Void Old Ancestor began to function.

The number of six-three almost completely crushed Shen Yi's foundation by nearly a fold!

Under such a large gap.

The six arms seemed to be corroded, the golden light peeling off like wall skin, becoming mottled and ugly, with traces of cracks all over it, and it looked like it was about to collapse.

"Dare to be so presumptuous on Old Ancestor's territory."

"Die!"

Divine Void Old Ancestor let out an inhuman screech, his entire body rushing forward, his five fingers like eagle claws, directly hooking towards Shen Yi's soul.

After shattering the seal of the golden river's suppression, it would be difficult for the opponent to even touch him. Apart from waiting for death, there would be no other choice.

Smack!

Shen Yi slapped the rushing figure back to the ground with a backhand.

The crisp sound made Divine Void Old Ancestor stunned. He covered his face again, looking up in confusion.

"Sorry."

Shen Yi flicked the jade pendant on his waist lightly, looking down: "Besides the Immortal Court, I also hold an official position on the ground."

The surging imperial aura covered the surface of the Six-Armed Bodhisattva Dharmakaya, blocking the encroaching black mist, and the golden light became vigorous again.

"By the way, this is not your territory either."

"This is Great Southern Continent."

"The entire Great Southern Continent is under my jurisdiction."

Shen Yi leaned slightly, looking at Divine Void Old Ancestor in front of him, his palm slowly hovering above the other's brow.

Between his fair and jade-like palms, strands of golden patterns began to weave, and in the blink of an eye, they gathered into a strange character.

The Divine Void Grand Luo Dao Fruit already possessed life-saving methods that others could not match. Naturally, it was much weaker in direct fighting. Otherwise, if it had both, this Old Ancestor would not have been dormant for many years.

However, the Bodhisattva fruit position, which was derived from the Spiritual Majesty Protecting Dao True Scripture, was a typical hard-hitting expert.

After Divine Void Old Ancestor took the initiative to abandon his own advantages, and Shen Yi made up for the lack of methods, the outcome of this battle was actually already doomed.

Subduing demons and eliminating devils is the forte of the Journeyer.

Watching the strange character between his palms lightly fall on Divine Void Old Ancestor's brow, Shen Yi knew he had guessed correctly.

Suddenly, the old man with immortal bones seemed to have his lifeblood sealed, struggling desperately on the ground, but unable to make any sound.

His body began to shrink violently, and soon twisted into a snow-white beetle the size of a fingernail, with six transparent wings on its back, flapping violently.

"Now Divine Void Mountain is also mine."

Shen Yi stood up, the Bodhisattva Dharmakaya illusory figure returned to himself, as if he had grown six arms himself.

Under the shroud of the illusory figure, he calmly stepped on the beetle, his toe gently grinding, using supreme magic power to crush the beetle into a pile of blood.
