Starting from the two realms, cultivating immortality by taming beasts

Chapter 644 The Peerless Vine

"Eek!" (It's all settled now!)

Zhiling's eyes brightened slightly as she suddenly noticed the abnormality of the Covenant Contract and subconsciously looked up.

The Daoist energy within the cave rose and fell like the tides, each rise and fall drawing upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of thousands of miles, causing a barely perceptible layer of jade light to emanate from Xue Le's body.

The next second, the jade light receded, and the five-colored patterns on the surface of the vine gradually converged towards the center of the vine, causing the five-element crown on its head and the leaves on its limbs to begin to curl up, wither, and lose their luster.

In contrast, five-colored light burst forth from the heart of the sher vine, vaguely outlining a phantom about the size of a palm.

The illusory figure had a blurred face, making it impossible to discern its specific features. It resembled both a child and an egg formed from the essence of creation, emanating a faint yet continuously spreading and intense vitality.

In that instant when life was in full bloom, the entire Huncheng Cave seemed to become a world of plant spirits.

"After being tempered eight times, the embryonic form of the true spirit of creation is condensed."

Chen Beiwu opened his eyes and realized that Xue Le had successfully passed the second tribulation of returning to the Venerable Realm, but he did not intend to end it there.

Let me add another piece of firewood for you.

Chen Beiwu's divine sense stirred, probing the swirling purple energy within the chaotic world. Then, he formed hand seals, seizing two streams of purple energy and placing them in his palms.

"When cause and effect intertwine, destiny arises."

"Fate ordains the embryo, enlightening three thousand beings!"

Chen Beiwu activated his destiny to control the embryo, pointing a finger at the vine body of Xue Le, which was gestating a true spirit and had withered somewhat.

boom!

boom!

boom!

In an instant, Schiller's body trembled, and a terrifying roar, as if the heavens and earth were being created, resounded deep within his mind, causing his bloodline, which had been tempered to its limit, to stir again.

Upon realizing this, Schiller's aura shifted, and he instinctively cooperated with Chen Beiwu to undergo a bloodline transformation.

Although the Chaoyuan Vine is excellent, it is a primordial beast that governs the five elements.

But now that there is an opportunity for his bloodline to advance further, Schiller, who has the Great Dao in his heart, is naturally not willing to be limited to this, and will undergo blood tempering and spirit condensation again.

Rumble!

Having undergone eight rounds of blood tempering, he was already close to the limit of advancing from Demon King to Demon Venerable.

However, with the help of the divine power of destiny and fetal cultivation, in just three days, Schiller easily quenched his blood nine times and truly reached the limit of the second tribulation of returning to the venerable.

Even if a Creation Beast at the Demon King level were to break through, it would probably only be able to reach this level.

"Hey!" (It's not over yet!)

Schiller roared inwardly.

At this moment, it could feel the terrifying agitation of the bloodline power within its body and decided to undergo blood tempering again.

Temper your blood ten times, and break through the limits!

The heart of the sylvatica shimmered with five-colored light, causing subtle changes in the space within the Huncheng Peak cave, as if it were covered by a layer of five-colored rosy light.

Continue, temper the blood eleven times, ignoring the extremes of bloodline!

Schiller was surprised to find that after breaking through the limit and tempering his blood again, once he truly stepped through, there were no more obstacles behind him, but a road leading to the heavens.

Temper your blood twelve times, and master the limits of your bloodline!

A sudden realization dawned on Schiller, and he understood the changes within himself.

The twelve-times-long process of tempering blood and condensing spirit may seem unprecedented, but it is not the end; the journey can continue.

However, the Blood Tempering and Spirit Condensation stage is not about pursuing the highest possible number of repetitions, but rather about adjusting the intensity according to one's own bloodline strength.

Having undergone twelve blood temperings, it has already pushed open the last door of the shackles deep within its bloodline; there is no need to continue forcing it.

"Hey!" (That's about it!)

Schiller closed his eyes, letting the flesh and vines on his body turn into specks of light and quickly vanish.

In contrast, the Creation Spirit it nurtured surged at a visible rate.

Finally, it grew from the size of a palm to half a zhang in size, and the divine soul energy emanating from its body became more and more terrifying, causing Jin Dan, Tie Dan and Zhi Ling to feel a chill.

Even Aji glanced sideways, surprised by the changes in Schiller's bloodline spirit.

"call."

Chen Beiwu exhaled a breath of stale air, his expression gradually becoming serious.

He has already passed the second tribulation of returning to his original state, and he has done everything he needed to do.

Whether the next three tribulations of returning to the highest realm can be completed depends on the will of Schiller, and Chen Beiwu can't help much.

The reason is simple: when the four realm demon kings complete the stage of blood tempering and spirit condensation, the Heaven and Earth Society will sense it and bring down a bloodline calamity.

This tribulation is similar to the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, but it is not heavenly thunder and earthly fire. Instead, it is an external manifestation that spontaneously condenses after the bloodline of the one who breaks through the barrier senses the connection between heaven and earth.

This external form is not a remnant of an ancestor deep within the bloodline, but rather a shadow of the past of the one who has broken through, or one could say a shadow of obsession.

It is no exaggeration to say that for demonic beasts that are not good at comprehending the world, the tribulation of bloodline is the greatest obstacle to reaching the fifth realm of demon lord.

Rumble!

The next second, under Chen Beiwu's gaze, the sky trembled, clouds gathered, and a vast five-colored pillar of light descended, completely enveloping Xue Le's body.

In a daze, Schiller became drowsy and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

"Wake up."

"Wake up!"

Hearing the urging voice, Schiller turned around impatiently.

Why the rush? After advancing to the ultimate demon king, it became the Five Elements Thief, renowned throughout the four regions of the East, West, South Wilderness, and North Xuan.

Even the plant spirits under the command of great figures such as the Immortal Emperor, Buddha, Demon Saint, and Dao Venerable have to give it some face and are unwilling to provoke it casually.

"If we don't wake up soon, the Five-Colored Vine will be taken away by someone else."

Schiller felt a jolt and suddenly opened his eyes, only to see a Five Qi Vine that looked exactly like himself.

"Hey?" (Who are you?)

Schiller was taken aback.

The Five-Element Vine tilted its head, its voice filled with doubt, "You don't recognize me? I'm your father!"

Schiller was slightly taken aback, then flew into a rage and punched the other man in the chest.

If you dare to take advantage of it, it was born and raised by nature, so what father does it have!

If I had to say who Dad is, there's only one person who can —

Thinking of this, Schiller let out a soft sigh, and couldn't help but touch his bald head with his other hand.

Strange, something feels off. It seems to have forgotten something very important.

As for what it was, it couldn't remember for a moment, only that it was very important and couldn't be forgotten.

"Buzz!"

On the other side, five-colored light flashed, and the Five Qi Vine didn't move at all, relying on the surging light around it to forcefully withstand Xue Le's punch.

Upon seeing this, Schiller's eyes narrowed slightly.

This is the first time it has encountered such a powerful enemy since it broke through to the ultimate demon king level.

"Hey?" (Who are you?)

"Who I am is unimportant. What do you consider to be theft?"

"What is the Way? Do you want to discuss the Way with me?"

"No, I meant thief, the thief of a great thief."

Upon hearing this, Schiller turned and ran, showing no intention of fighting.

It was unlucky for it today; it encountered a strange fellow tribesman while it was sleeping.

In other words, it's not good at fighting. If it had any friends around, they would definitely beat it to a pulp.

Wait, what is a "little friend"?

Schiller's mind raced, as if he had found a faint clue.

"call out!"

A flash of light appeared as the Five Qi Vine blocked Xue Le's path, casually striking down with a seal.

Xuan Tong unleashed the Primordial Five Tribulations Seal with a fierce attack.

Schiller was unable to dodge in time and was suppressed in place by the seal, unable to move.

"Hey!" (Despicable!)

Schiller shouted angrily, then his body stiffened and dissipated as he transformed into the Qi of the Five Elements.

"You can't escape. Either defeat me, or die here."

Wu Qi Teng spoke calmly, activating the Cave True Tribulation Heaven Finger, and casually pointed it at the empty earth.

The earth trembled, and Schiller's figure quietly appeared.

It clasped its hands together and unleashed the Five Elements Burial Mystery Technique, drawing the Five Elements to manifest a Xuanhuang Domain around its body, attempting to block the finger strike head-on.

"Snap, snap!"

Under Schiller's incomprehensible gaze, the Xuanhuang Domain formed by the burial of the Five Qi collapsed in an instant.

A single point of light shattered space, boldly imprinting itself on its chest.

"Tick-tock, tick-tock!"

Schiller's figure was hunched over, and he lowered his head slightly, noticing drops of blood sliding down his chest where the vines had pierced through.

So strong!

Despite being a Five Elements Vine, it was utterly powerless against its opponent, and even the Five Elements Burial Mystery, which could render the Five Elements Techniques ineffective, was of no use whatsoever.

"Hey?" (Did I steal your elixir?)

Schiller looked up at the Five Qi Vine and said in a strong voice.

The power of the Heavenly Finger of the Cave Truth Tribulation is extraordinary. For an ultimate demon king, such a severe injury is enough to damage his foundation and endanger his life.

But for Schiller, who was skilled in healing, this injury, though seemingly serious, was actually insignificant.

"No, that's not it, you're just very lucky."

Wu Qiteng slightly raised his eyes, his tone somewhat complicated.

Schiller raised an eyebrow, sensing a hint of envy in the other person's words.

Is it just my imagination?

The opponent clearly possesses overwhelming combat power, so there's no need for them to envy someone like themselves who's good for nothing, only good at sneaking around and has some healing and escape skills.

"Stop pretending, and don't even think about escaping. I know these injuries are nothing to you."

With a single step, the Five Qi Vine activated the Five Qi Yuan Forest Profound Power, completely sealing off this area: "Unless we determine a winner, you will not be able to leave here."

"Hey."

Schiller sighed and obediently emerged from the depths of the earth.

Let them get beaten up.

It only hoped that, out of consideration for its own kind, the other party would leave after they had fought enough.

"What a spineless bastard."

Sensing Schiller's thoughts, the Five Elements Vine couldn't hold back any longer and went all out, using all sorts of Five Elements Mystic Arts at will.

January!

Two months!

March!

With a bruised and swollen face, Xue Le collapsed to the ground with a thud, glaring angrily at Wu Qi Teng: "Have you had enough? If you keep hitting me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wu Qi Teng remained silent, then slightly raised his hand. Xue Le was immediately startled, instinctively covering his head with his hands, circulating the five Qi throughout his body, ready to provide treatment at any moment.

"Taiyi transforms into the Five Qi, and the Five Qi become the Heaven-Slaying Sword."

Five Qi Vine said indifferently, "I have a sword called Taiyi Heaven-Severing Sword. It can cut through tangible things, sever mountain ridges, divide ocean currents, and cleave heaven and earth. It can also cut through intangible things, extract cause and effect, pick up Dao rhythm, and sever laws."

"If you can withstand this sword strike, you win!"

Upon hearing this, Schiller's expression turned serious.

It was because it sensed an indescribable, boundless sword intent rising up, threatening to slice through the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

"cut!"

The five-element vines coiled into a sword, which was then slashed down at Schiller.

Rumble!

Before the sword light arrived, day and night reversed, time and space reversed, and heaven and earth fell silent.

Faced with this terrifying sword strike that was unstoppable and irresistible, Schiller could only use the Five Returns to Origin Profound Power to enlighten the Five-Headed Wooden Dragon, causing it to stand in front of him, before taking a step back and disappearing into the ground.

"Clang!"

As the sword light fell, the world collapsed.

Schiller suddenly awoke, the last memory still lingering in his mind, a sword light slowly reflecting deep within his pupils.

It did not receive that earth-shattering sword strike, but it did not lose either. Instead, relying on its incomparably powerful regenerative ability, it was forcibly transformed into a part of the Taiyi Heaven-Slaying Sword.

So this is the tribulation of bloodlines!

Schiller slowly raised his head, his memories returned, and the five-colored pillar of light covering his body began to collapse at a visible speed.

Having passed the three tribulations of returning to its original form, its bloodline has entered the realm of creation, and it can ascend to become the Chaoyuan Vine, ranked among the top on the Creation Beast Ranking, in the blink of an eye.

But Schiller did not do that. Instead, based on his own instincts, he used the bloodline of the Chaoyuan Vine as ink, the Taiyi Jietian Sword Intent as a pen, and the Five Qi Yuan Forest as paper. He condensed all his life's cultivation and his natal demon domain into his own bloodline, forging an unprecedented true form of bloodline and completely stepping into the realm of the Fifth Realm Demon Lord.

Meanwhile, outside the mixed peak.

The earth trembled, mountains and rivers resounded, and endless five-colored light shot into the sky, forming auspicious clouds.

Wherever the auspicious clouds passed, the grass and trees drooped, the beasts lay prostrate, and even the beasts contracted by the Jade Purity True Lord instinctively lowered their heads to show their awe to a newly promoted supreme demon lord.

"His true form transformed heaven and earth, and all kings submitted to him."

Upon noticing the unusual movement of the beast, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but smile.

Such an extraordinary phenomenon indicates that Junior Brother Tongcan Beast has successfully broken through to the Demon Lord level and successfully refined his natal True Domain into his own bloodline, creating his own world.

"Impressive. For a fellow beast to take this step, Junior Brother is probably not far from becoming a True Immortal." Mo Chen's smile carried a hint of bitterness.

This bitterness doesn't stem from jealousy, but from a sense of resentment towards one's own talent and abilities.

Su Muyu remained silent, simply withdrawing her gaze and turning to activate her escape light to leave.

She has already grasped what she needed to understand. If she doesn't continue to cultivate diligently, she and her junior brother will no longer be on the same level, but will be a level below each other.

The reason is simple: even if the sun remains unchanged and continues to radiate its warm light, how can an ant stand shoulder to shoulder with it?

"good."

Changqing Zhenzun glanced at Huncheng Peak, and his divine sense slowly dissipated.

With the help of a fifth-realm demon lord, and having forged the Primal Myriad Tribulations Body at the Nascent Soul stage, this disciple can be considered a "Deity Transformation" to some extent, and is qualified to access the core secrets of the Immortal Alliance.

On the other side, within the mixed peak.

As the radiance faded, Schiller's posture changed dramatically, her already slender vine body becoming even more elegant.

The Five Elements Crown on its head transformed into a small, lush green tree, with branches forking out and bearing fruit.

These fruits were dazzling and colorful, radiating five-colored light, and containing extremely profound Daoist charm. Chen Beiwu only needed to reach out and lightly touch them to feel a slight pain in his fingertips, which drew blood. Without a doubt, even if Xue Le had no hostility, Chen Beiwu's Primordial Myriad Tribulations Body could not withstand the sharpness of these brilliant fruits.

Strange, Schiller only attained the Dao of Demon Lord, and didn't use any rare or precious materials related to swords, so how did he suddenly acquire a sword?

meaning!"

Chen Beiwu narrowed his eyes, keenly sensing a familiar aura.

He seemed to have seen this sword intent before in the Sword Lord of Freedom, but there was a slight difference. Instead, the aura was somewhat similar to the Primordial Dao Artifact [Taiyi Slaying Slayer Sword] recorded in the Southern Wilderness Sect's classic texts.

"Beiwu, am I good-looking?"

Schiller tilted its head and asked impatiently, so much so that its temperament changed. The aura of a Fifth Realm Demon Lord surrounding it disappeared, and it became more adorable.

However, Jin Dan, Tie Dan, Zhi Ling, and A Ji's spiritual senses were different from Chen Bei Wu's, and their expressions were filled with solemnity.

In their eyes, the current Schiller is no longer the team's mascot, but a peerless sword vine that makes the demon king fear and retreat.
