Slaughter to Prove Your Dao: Unlock the Great Sage Equal to Heaven at the Start!

What stirred Chen Xing's heart even more was the divine power imprint belonging to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven within his body.

A sense of excitement was faintly emanating from it!

Chen Xing immediately activated the Lesser Seventy-Two Transformations technique, transforming his body into an inconspicuous dark golden rock, and suppressing his aura to the extreme.

At the same time, Da Cheng's Fiery Eyes operated silently.

They pinpointed the source of the aura and followed it from a distance.

Soon, with his keen eyesight, he spotted his target.

It was a monster that was nearly two meters tall and had taken human form.

He was extremely strong, with broad shoulders and a thick waist.

His muscles were bulging, making the simple, dark gold animal hide armor he wore look bulging.

His muscular chest and thick arms gleamed with a metallic sheen.

His face was resolute, as if carved by a knife and axe.

With sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and tightly pursed lips, he exudes an imposing presence even without anger.

His short, blond hair gave him an unruly air.

What's most eye-catching is the two-meter-long object he carries on his shoulder.

A giant club carved with lifelike patterns of a coiled golden dragon!

The stick has no sharp edge, yet it naturally exudes a chilling aura of weight and sharpness.

It was none other than a top-grade S-rank divine weapon—the Dragon Pattern Staff!

"Brother Xing!"

Xiao Xiao's exclamation exploded in Chen Xing's mind, filled with disbelief and shock.

That's... the Golden Dragon Demon Ape! One of the top overlord races in the Golden Dragon Patterned Heavenly Secret Realm!

"The clan has an eighth-tier demon lord in charge! This is definitely a royal bloodline."

"And judging from his aura, he must have just broken through and come out to train and consolidate his realm!"

"He's more than one level stronger than the White Tiger Saint Son!"

Chen Xing felt a chill in his heart, but even more so, he felt a burning fighting spirit!

Fifth-tier lower level, royal bloodline, S-grade superior divine weapon...

This is exactly the whetstone he has been dreaming of!

To his surprise, when he got closer to a certain distance...

The "excitement" within his body, stemming from the Great Sage's divine power, intensified even further!

It was as if he had encountered a kindred spirit, someone who could validate his own stick fighting style!

The golden figure carrying the dragon-patterned staff in the distance seemed to have sensed something as well.

Occasionally, he would stop and glance in the direction where Chen Xing was hiding, looking puzzled.

Those golden eyes swept across the room with the sharpness of a hawk.

However, Chen Xing's seventy-two transformations, combined with Da Cheng's discerning eyes, allowed him to foresee opportunities.

It always managed to avoid the target in advance, and because it was far enough away, the Golden Dragon Demon Ape did not detect the specific target.

Chen Xingyuan followed him for an entire day.

He personally witnessed this golden dragon demon ape named "Potian" acting alone.

The combat style is simple, brutal, and efficient.

When encountering a third-tier monster, no matter how large it is.

No matter how many there are, he sweeps them all away with one blow!

Where the golden staff passed, the monster's body exploded and vanished into thin air!

Even a fourth-tier demon beast, with its superior fourth-tier and king-level bloodline, cannot last more than three rounds against a fourth-tier demon beast!

One blow forces him back, two blows severely injure him, and three blows blow his head off!

His stick fighting style has no fancy moves.

It's the simplest way of smashing, sweeping, chopping, and stabbing, but each strike contains a power that seems capable of shattering the heavens and the earth!

The essence of the Qitian Staff, as perceived by Chen Xing, lies in the pursuit of ultimate power and an indomitable spirit.

They are remarkably similar in their approach!

"Excellent staff technique!"

Chen Xing secretly praised him, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

This golden dragon demon ape is a born master of the stick fighting style!

He is the best opponent to test his mastery of the Qitian Staff and hone his fighting skills!

The next day, Potian carried the dragon-patterned staff.

They entered a valley surrounded by golden stone pillars.

He suddenly stopped, without turning around.

A metallic sound slowly echoed through the valley:

"You've been following me for three days, acting suspiciously. Aren't you coming out yet?"

Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat—he'd been discovered!

When?

Was it because his emotions fluctuated just now, and his aura betrayed him?

Or does this golden dragon demon ape possess some kind of special perception?

But he didn't panic.

It was expected that it would be discovered.

He deactivated his seventy-two transformations and slowly emerged from behind a huge dark gold rock.

The Mountain-Shattering Staff was already in his hand, pointing diagonally at the ground.

Potian slowly turned around, his eyes like molten gold.

It landed calmly on Chen Xing, looking him up and down.

When he saw Chen Xing's young face and the aura emanating from him...

When he saw that the aura was only at the peak of the middle level of the fourth realm, a clear look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Middle level of the Four Realms? Human?" Po Tian spoke, his voice still low and unreadable.

"You dared to follow me alone for so long. You've got guts."

He carried the dragon-patterned staff and walked slowly toward Chen Xing.

He walked slowly, but each step he took was deliberate.

They all carried a heavy, oppressive feeling, like mountains, and the ground trembled slightly.

Golden demonic energy slowly rose from his body.

"State your name."

Potian stopped ten meters in front of Chen Xing and took the dragon-patterned staff off his shoulder.

With a thud, it struck the ground, creating a shallow crater.

He stared at Chen Xing, his golden eyes gleaming with fighting spirit.

"Under my Heaven-Shattering Staff, I do not kill nameless nobodies."

Chen Xing looked at him but did not answer.

The purple-gold blood and qi within the body began to circulate at an accelerated pace.

He knew that any nonsense was unnecessary.

Faced with such an opponent, the only option is to fight!

Undying True Body—Open!

boom--!!!

The purple-gold energy surged skyward!

Chen Xing's figure grew taller, his purple-gold hair and pupils shone, and his aura soared to the peak of the upper level of the fourth realm!

Behind him, a giant phantom of the Qitian Staff Intent condensed!

Standing tall and upright, it exudes a terrifying aura that dominates the world!

Purple-gold flames rose from the Shattering Mountain Staff!

The surprise in Potian's eyes turned into a hint of interest, but more so into a condescending scrutiny.

He grinned, revealing sharp teeth, his smile carrying a hint of cruelty.

"That's interesting."

"This transformation, this staff intent... not bad. It's a pity, the level is too low."

The moment the words left his mouth, the heavens trembled!

Without warning, the ground beneath his feet suddenly exploded!

The golden figure appeared instantly above Chen Xing's head, as if by teleportation!

The dragon-patterned staff in his hand, over two meters long and incredibly heavy, carried a terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting the earth.

Violently, it slammed down on Chen Xing's head!

Before the stick even arrived, the violent air pressure had already caused the ground around Chen Xing to collapse!

Chen Xing's pupils shrank slightly!

Impressive strength!

He had no time to dodge, nor did he have the will to dodge!

The Qitian Staff intent roared wildly within his body, and the Shattering Mountain Staff swung upwards in reverse.

The purple-gold flames surged, and the seventh move of the S-grade mid-level Burning Heaven Nine Styles, "Wildfire", was superimposed to forcefully meet the falling dragon-patterned staff!

clang--!!!!!!!!!

Like two metal mountains colliding!

A deafening roar exploded in the valley!

Visible golden and purplish-gold energy waves emanated from the two individuals.

It spread wildly in a ring, shattering all the golden rocks within a radius of tens of meters!

Chen Xing felt an indescribable, terrifying force coming from the Shattering Mountain Staff!

His arms were in excruciating pain, and blood instantly stained the stick!

The ground beneath his feet suddenly collapsed, and he felt as if he had been hit head-on by a giant battering ram.

It flew backwards for dozens of meters with a loud bang.

It crashed heavily into a thick, golden stone pillar, causing spiderweb-like cracks to appear on the pillar!

"puff--!"

Chen Xing opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of purplish-gold blood, his chest heaving with qi and blood.

Fifth-tier lower level, royal bloodline

When combined with the S-grade superior divine weapon, the Dragon Pattern Staff, its power is terrifying!

Potian stood still, without moving an inch.

He shook his slightly numb wrist, his interest growing stronger, but also tinged with disappointment.

"His strength is decent, and his staff technique is somewhat interesting. But it's still too weak."

He shook his head, picked up the dragon-patterned staff, seemingly losing interest, and prepared to leave.

Chen Xing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showing no fear.

Only the fighting spirit burning to its extreme!

He struggled to his feet from the crater in the stone pillar, gripping the Broken Mountain Staff tightly once more.

"Again." His voice was hoarse, but incredibly firm.

Po Tian paused, then turned around.

A hint of surprise flashed in his golden eyes, which then turned into icy killing intent.

"court death."

He no longer held back, and his royal bloodline was fully ignited!

Dark golden demonic energy erupted instantly, condensing behind him into a ten-meter-tall statue.

A phantom of a golden giant ape pounding its chest and roaring!

On the dragon-patterned staff, the carved golden dragon pattern seemed to come alive, emitting a deep dragon roar!

He took a step, and the ground cracked!

The dragon-patterned staff was raised again, this time with several times the power of the previous one!

The golden shadow of the staff blotted out the sky, carrying the power to destroy everything.

It crashed down on Chen Xing with a deafening roar!

He was going to crush this annoying "bug" with a single blow!

Chen Xing's eyes flashed with a wild purple-gold light!

He knew that if he resisted, he would surely die!

With a thought that transcends the physical body, one can become an entity!

brush!brush!brush!

Three clones simultaneously rushed out from his side.

They charged towards Potian from different directions, fearless and reckless!

Meanwhile, Chen Xing himself unleashed a somersault cloud beneath his feet, retreating rapidly while simultaneously raising his Mountain-Shattering Staff high into the air.

The terrifying power of the first seven moves of the Nine Forms of Burning Heaven, stacked in succession, was frantically condensing!

He was gambling that even if he succeeded, his clone would interfere for a moment.

We're betting he can seize this fleeting opportunity and unleash his strongest attack!

With a cold laugh, Po Tian swept his dragon-patterned staff across the battlefield!

The golden staff shadow was like a storm, instantly shattering the three attacking clones!

But, at the very moment the clone shattered.

Chen Xing himself has moved!

His somersault cloud exploded a second time, and his figure teleported, advancing instead of retreating.

It appeared to the left rear of Potian, where a very brief opening had been created by the sweeping attack!

On the Shattering Mountain Staff, the purple-gold flames were compressed to their limit.

It seemed to have transformed into a burning purple-gold crystal pillar!

Qi Tian: Burn Mountains and Boil Seas!
