Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 626 What is a Golden Immortal?

"Since you're already here, why hide your true self?"

Chen Beiwu's gaze fell on the void ahead.

Who are you?

Yan Changxing appeared, standing with his hands behind his back, and spoke in a gentle voice.

"Who I am is not important; what's important is that this road is blocked," Chen Beiwu said in a deep voice.

"Oh, if I insist on going there, what will you do?"

Yan Changxing smiled, completely disregarding Chen Beiwu.

Having a Nascent Soul strength close to that of a Primordial Spirit and possessing a Primordial Spirit are two completely different concepts.

He could crush a mere Nascent Soul True Monarch with a flick of his finger.

"Nothing will happen." Chen Beiwu glanced at Yan Changxing and said bluntly, "You won't get through."

Yan Changxing showed no anger. His gaze fell on Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji. He said calmly, "Boy, hand over these five demonic beasts and kneel down to beg for mercy, and I may spare your life."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Changxing's eyes gleamed with arrogance, and he proactively released a wisp of Nascent Soul power, causing the entire world to freeze.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, once the other party senses this Nascent Soul energy, they will surely make a wise choice and kneel down in fear and trembling, begging for mercy.

After all, no matter how strong a Nascent Soul True Monarch is, he is still an ant in front of a Divine Transformation True Venerable, and has no power to resist.

"Roar!" "Woof!" "Hey!" "Eek!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling were all enraged, their eyes fixed on Yan Changxing.

Only Aji remained silent, mobilizing his true magical power, ready to use the Four Seasons Heavenly Order Yin Yang True Domain at any time.

Those who come are not good, and those who are good don't.

If they don't show enough strength, relying solely on their aura to fight is not enough to make a Nascent Soul True Venerable back down!

"You?"

Chen Beiwu's eyes turned cold, ignoring the pressure from the Nascent Soul stage, and he slowly raised his hand: "Since you are determined to die—"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Beiwu's figure blurred and disappeared instantly.

Yan Changxing's pupils contracted as a strong sense of crisis and an indifferent voice came from behind him.

"Then I'll die here!"

Yan Changxing's expression changed slightly as he activated his divine sense.

Chen Beiwu formed hand seals, one hand manifesting the Primordial World-Suppressing Seal and the other the Jade Void Crimson Bright Seal. His aura became incredibly ethereal, as if he had descended as a Divine Transformation True Venerable.

"That's some power!"

A look of surprise flashed across Yan Changxing's eyes.

A mere Nascent Soul True Monarch was able to unleash a power comparable to a Divine Transformation True Venerable.

Fortunately, Xuan Tong was no match for his cultivation level, so Yan Changxing still didn't think Chen Beiwu posed any threat to him.

"freeze."

Yan Changxing's words became law with a single thought.

In an instant, a visible ring of grayish-white cold air spread wildly from the center of True Venerable Han Yan, sweeping across the heavens and earth and freezing everything it touched.

"Snap, snap!"

In the blink of an eye, Chen Beiwu lost all his life force and turned into a lifelike ice sculpture.

Golden Egg, Iron Egg, Xue Le, Zhi Ling, and A Ji could not escape the chilling air that swept across the world, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into one frigid ice sculpture after another.

"Um?"

Han Yan Zhenzun frowned slightly, ignoring the ice sculptures present, and his figure retreated instantly.

boom!

boom!

boom!

The next instant, the six ice sculptures trembled slightly and suddenly burst into dazzling light, revealing the fierce self-destruction of one after another fourth-realm demon king.

"How naive! Do you really think that risking your life by self-destructing will pose a threat to a Nascent Soul True Venerable?"

Han Yan Zhenzun smiled contemptuously, clenched his right hand, and the vast spiritual energy that permeated the heavens and earth surged wildly towards the six ice sculptures, suppressing them with overwhelming force.

"roar!"

Just then, a dragon's roar resounded.

The void behind Yan Changxing twisted, revealing a golden egg with three heads emerging and its ferocious maws wide open.

Stubborn and obstinate.

Yan Changxing didn't turn his head, but stretched out his index finger and gently tapped it backward.

Without needing to utilize his primordial energy, he could easily crush a fourth-realm demon king by simply moving his divine sense and mobilizing the power of heaven and earth.

The three-headed dragon that dared to defy its superiors was reduced to ashes, leaving only its blood essence.

"Hey!" (All five elements are buried!)

Schiller clasped his hands together, drawing the Five Elements to manifest the Xuanhuang Domain around his body, and urging the Five Qi to be buried in the Xuantong.

As the strongest newly added defensive member of the team, its Five Burials can render the profound power of the Five Elements magic ineffective, turning it into pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth. This is perfect for dealing with Han Yan Zhenzun, who did not use the Dharma Image Yuan but only mobilized the power of heaven and earth with the position of Nascent Soul.

"Hmm, he's got some skill."

Yan Changxing let out a soft exclamation, keenly sensing that the power gathered at his fingertips was neutralized by an inexplicable force.

But that was still too naive.

Yan Changxing's lips curled up as he channeled a wisp of Han Yanyuan into his fingertips.

Rumble!

Both are just a single finger, but the difference is completely different when the finger is pointed out with or without the blessing of the Dharma Image.

"Hey!"

Schiller's pupils contracted, and fear appeared in his eyes.

It can't be stopped, absolutely can't be stopped!

It was just a casual flick of the finger, but it could already vaguely see the tragic scene of its own death and annihilation, leaving no trace of its body.

At the critical moment, Chen Beiwu stood in front of Xue Le, activating the fifth-order Primordial Seal with one hand. All five seals were unleashed at once, directly clashing with the incoming Heaven-Reaching Giant Finger.

"Crunch, crunch!"

Chen Beiwu took three steps back, feeling his body sink, his flesh and bones groaning under the strain, before quickly returning to normal.

Clearly, even if he possessed the Primal Myriad Tribulations Body, which could withstand the attacks of a Nascent Soul True Venerable, he would still have to pay a price.

"Wow, what a powerful physique! Which sect's cultivator are you from?"

Yan Changxing's expression changed slightly as he realized Chen Beiwu was extraordinary.

If it were only that the Nascent Soul level was close to the Primordial Spirit level, that would be one thing, but the opponent's physical body and magical power were also extremely close to the Transformation God True Venerable.

No, that's not right!

It's not just close; to some extent, the opponent's physical strength far exceeds that of a fifth-tier cultivator, something that could not be achieved through ordinary techniques.

The reason is simple: if a being who has just entered the Nascent Soul stage dares to take a finger strike from him with their physical body, they will be severely injured, and their combat power will be reduced by at least 30%.

But this kid was fine; he took the finger strike head-on without changing his expression. His aura fluctuated briefly, but he recovered completely in the blink of an eye, without suffering any harm.

"I will not change my name or surname, I am Chen Zi'ang, the sect leader of the Mirror Moon Sect," Chen Beiwu said succinctly.

The weak have no voice.

Without sufficient strength, even if he invoked the name of the Mirror Moon Sect immediately, it wouldn't be of much use.

But things are different now. After just two rounds of fighting, I demonstrated strength comparable to a Nascent Soul True Venerable, which would likely make my opponent wary.

As expected, upon hearing the name Mirror Moon Sect, Yan Changxing's expression turned cold: "What is your relationship with True Venerable Tianyi?"

"Tianyi Zhenzun is the third patriarch of our sect."

At this point, Chen Beiwu's eyes flickered as he looked at the golden eggs and the others.

Apart from Aji, Jindan, Tiedan, Xuele, and Zhiling are all unable to play a role in this level of combat and would instead become a hindrance.

Only by using the Myriad Spirits Calamity Transformation Mystic Power to enhance them can the golden eggs exert their maximum effect.

"Very well, for the sake of True Venerable Tianyi, retreat now, and I may spare your life." Yan Changxing's expression returned to calm.

Chen Beiwu shook his head and retorted sarcastically, "I'll say it again: either leave this place, or fight to the death and perish here."

"You arrogant brat, do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?"

Yan Changxing spoke indifferently, and a celestial and earthly realm vaguely appeared behind him.

Because of the existence of the self-sealing secret technique, he cannot use too much of the power of the Dharma Image, but he is not someone that a mere Nascent Soul True Monarch can stop.

"Snap, snap!"

Before the laws of heaven and earth were fully revealed, an invisible chill enveloped this world.

Chen Beiwu frowned slightly, realizing that even with the protection of the Eight-Cornered Light, his skin was covered with a thin, almost imperceptible layer of frost, and even the Primordial True Qi in his dantian was severely suppressed, making it almost impossible for it to function.

In a daze, the world in Chen Beiwu's eyes suddenly changed, and a tall and imposing figure appeared before him.

His left hand was clenched into a fist and placed on his knee, while his right hand was raised horizontally and placed in front of his chest.

Chen Beiwu looked down and found himself lying on the palm of this imposing figure whose face he couldn't make out, unable to move.

This is the Dharma of Heaven and Earth that only a True Venerable of the Transformation God can control.

Chen Beiwu's pupils contracted as he felt a terrifying, suffocating pressure.

"To live, or to die?"

The towering figure lowered his head, looking down at Chen Beiwu. Five colors swirled deep within his pupils, gathering layers of frost.

At this moment, the Dao Seed Nascent Soul deep within Chen Beiwu's spiritual platform almost collapsed, the Primordial Golden Core within his body almost stopped rotating, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, which he had always been able to control as easily as his own arm, became unfamiliar and could not be mobilized in the slightest.

This is the terrifying dimensional difference between a Nascent Soul True Monarch and a Divine Transformation True Venerable!

It is precisely because of this vast disparity that ancient texts in the Southern Wilderness praised the Nascent Soul True Monarch as a Celestial Immortal and the Transformation God True Venerable above the True Monarch as a Golden Immortal.

What is a Golden Immortal?

Gold has endured countless tribulations, remaining unchanged and indestructible; Immortals are those who have gathered three flowers at the top of their heads and passed through five dynasties, forging a transcendent existence that embodies the laws of heaven and earth.

Therefore, even if a celestial being possesses a thousand wondrous methods and myriad profound abilities, before the great supernatural powers of a golden immortal who can manifest the laws of heaven and earth, they are like a firefly compared to the bright moon, or a stream compared to a river or sea—utterly meaningless.

However, the Primal Myriad Tribulations Body that Chen Beiwu forged is different. It involves the Golden Immortal level and can even reach the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal realm.

Only this kind of power could enable Chen Beiwu to contend with a Nascent Soul True Venerable, and not be instantly killed without any power to resist.

"Imperial Edict of the Northern Emperor!"

Chen Beiwu focused his mind on the spiritual platform without the slightest hesitation, and used his Primordial Myriad Tribulations Body to unleash the Northern Emperor's Edict.

In an instant, the surrounding world changed drastically, and everything returned to normal. Yan Changxing's figure suddenly came into Chen Beiwu's view.

"Excellent, truly profound!"

Yan Changxing's eyes lit up, amazed and curious about this power: "At such a young age, to have developed the Taiyi Immortal Technique to such an extent!"

Chen Beiwu was too lazy to explain the misunderstanding caused by Yan Changxing. He immediately entered the Myriad Tribulations Transformation state with Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling. His aura surged and even suppressed Yan Changxing's aura.

"The Taiyi Xuantong doesn't mention taming beasts as weapons. Could this be something Chen Zi'ang invented himself?"

Yan Changxing's eyelids twitched, and a growing sense of foreboding crept into his heart, even giving rise to another thought:

The reason why True Venerable Dou Shu did not make a move this time, but instead invited him to make a move, could it be because he was wary of this junior's background?

"Subduing the Dragon and Slaying the Immortal!"

The blade struck with terrifying force. Chen Beiwu's three-pointed, double-edged sword emitted a deafening hum, and a jet-black blade of light tore through the void, locking onto Yan Changxing completely.

Yan Changxing narrowed his eyes slightly. Without using a fifth-order heavy weapon, he simply extended his two Dharma-image fingers to trap the incoming three-pointed double-edged sword.

"Clang clang clang!"

Even though Lingxiao's sword intent could sever cause and effect, it couldn't do anything to the faintly visible Dharma Heaven and Earth behind Yan Changxing.

Chen Beiwu snorted coldly, his three-pointed double-edged sword suddenly flipped, and then slashed down at an incredible angle.

At the critical moment, Aji, who had cultivated his profound understanding to the extreme, also made a move, unleashing the Four Seasons Heavenly Order Yin Yang True Domain and the Winter Hibernation Moment, causing Yan Changxing's movements to stiffen slightly.

Chen Beiwu seized the opportunity and pierced through the void with a single strike, embedding himself in Yan Changxing's chest.

However, the latter's expression remained unchanged, and he instead offered a nonchalant comment: "Without reaching the Nascent Soul stage, your fifth-realm sword intent cannot harm me. Do you have any other profound abilities?"

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed, then he chuckled and said, "Why bother with this pretense and bluff? If we continue fighting, your 'Heaven and Earth Manifestation' technique probably won't last long. Then I can behead you with a single stroke."

"I have been in slumber for too long and am indeed powerless against you, but you are powerless against me either."

Yan Changxing did not deny Chen Beiwu's judgment. The figure pierced by the three-pointed double-edged sword turned into green smoke and dissipated.

Where the dark pillar of light was, a glint of azure cold light quietly appeared, attempting to interrupt the Battle Demon Ape's breakthrough and forcibly extract its bloodline.

Although it was somewhat humiliating to fight to a draw with a Nascent Soul True Monarch, this alone was not enough for Yan Changxing to completely unseal his self-sealing technique and determine the victor for Chen Beiwu.

Victory and defeat are trivial matters; how can they be compared to the path of cultivating immortality?

Yan Changxing had only one goal: to defeat the Fighting Demon Ape.

As for the Four Seasons Beast, although it is extremely tempting, it is extremely difficult to capture. It would be better to ignore Chen Zi'ang and capture the Fighting Demon Ape first.

Once he obtains the Demon Ape bloodline, he can retreat at any time.

Even if Chen Ziang were stronger, he wouldn't be able to hold him back.

"court death!"

Chen Beiwu closed his eyes, and a profound and mysterious Daoist aura suddenly descended.

Without any earth-shattering momentum or dazzling brilliance, a Primordial Dharma Image suddenly descended upon the spot where Yan Changxing was, causing his movements to stiffen slightly.

"The Primordial Beginning connects with Heaven, the Dharma Image descends upon the Divine, and the Four Seasons return to One!"

The celestial Dharma image transformed into a ray of light and fell into Aji's body.

At this moment, Aji mobilized the power of the Yin-Yang True Domain of the Four Seasons, unifying the four seasons and resonating with the Primordial Law. His energy surged at an unbelievable speed, breaking through the limit of the Demon King and boldly stepping into the Fifth Realm Demon Venerable.

The world is desolate, and the autumn wind is chilling.

Yan Changxing was struck as if by a heavy blow, and blood spurted from his mouth.

"How dare you!!!"

Yan Changxing activated the power of the Dharma Image to suppress the autumn killing wind, his eyes fixed on Aji, whose posture had changed drastically, his gaze filled with undisguised apprehension.

At this moment, under the blessing of the divine presence and the unity of the four seasons, Aji seemed to have fully awakened his past life power. He did not transform into the Yin-Yang Dragon of the Four Seasons, but his whole body was surging with Yin-Yang power.

The extreme Yang energy caused Aji's downy hair, which was fluttering in the wind, to burst into flames, while the extreme Yin energy turned his noble body into pitch black, making him look like a black king who ruled over time and space.

tread!

tread!

tread!

Aji took three graceful steps forward.

In contrast, Yan Changxing's face was grim, a bead of cold sweat slowly sliding down his temple, knowing that the situation was hopeless.

Without even lifting a finger, a mere clash of their energies was enough for him to understand: "Unless the seal is completely broken, he is no match for this Demon Lord, let alone dare to attack the Fighting Demon Ape right under its nose!"
