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

Chen Xing remained silent, sensing the surging power within his body and the bottleneck he was about to break through.

Looking deeper into the secret realm, one finds even stronger demonic beasts.

More dangerous areas also mean more kills and more opportunities to hone your skills.

"Let's go." He uttered two words.

Po Tian's eyes lit up, a burning fighting spirit erupting from his golden pupils. He nodded vigorously, his voice booming:

"Alright! Brother Xing! I know a place where there's a mid-tier fifth-order royal-level golden-armored earth dragon!"

"It's tough and strong; I've always wanted to beat it up, but I never had the chance!"

"Now that Brother Xing is here, let's go take it on together!"

Chen Xing's lips curled up slightly.

One person, one ape.

One black, one gold.

They strode deeper into the secret realm, into that unknown land where danger and opportunity coexist.

……

Chen Xing and Po Tian traveled together, heading deeper into the secret realm.

Unlike when he was traveling alone before, he now had someone by his side carrying a dragon-patterned staff.

A talkative blond man.

"Brother Xing, let me tell you, I'm ranked third among the younger generation of Golden Dragon Tattooed Heaven!"

Po Tian walked beside Chen Xing, grinning and revealing his snow-white teeth.

His expression held a hint of pride, but more so, a sense of defiance.

"Why isn't it number one?"

"Because the two old guys at the front of the line, one is eighty years older than me, and the other is fifty-five years older!"

"When I get to their age, hey, I'll take them all down with one blow each!"

Chen Xing listened silently, his lips twitching almost imperceptibly.

The style changed too quickly—one moment it was aloof and domineering.

The emperor-level overlord who was annihilated with a single blow became a talkative underling in the next moment.

This reminded him of Lin Moyan, the man with black hair and green eyes.

"Brother Xing, how did you learn that clone technique? Can you teach me?"

Potian moved closer, his golden eyes filled with curiosity.

"And that golden phantom that flew out from between your eyebrows... which ancestor is that?"

"I was so scared I almost peed my pants!"

He patted his chest, still shaken.

"Are you hiding an even more powerful trump card?"

Chen Xing glanced at him, said nothing, and quickened his pace.

Seeing this, Potian didn't press the matter, but just chuckled.

Carrying his dragon-patterned staff, he followed, continuing his rambling:

"Brother Xing, what do you think of this stick?"

"A top-grade S-rank dragon-patterned staff! Weighing four thousand catties! It was forged for me by our clan elders using Earth Core Flame Gold and Dragon Blood Crystal!"

"However, I feel it's still lacking compared to the skill of your stick technique... What's your stick technique called?"

"Qi Tian? What a great name! So powerful!"

Chen Xing: "..."

In order to quickly develop synergy and fully digest the lessons learned from previous battles.

The two stopped in a valley surrounded by golden stone forests.

"Brother Xing, how about another spar?"

Potian was eager to try, his eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Chen Xing nodded: "Okay."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Xing made the first move!

The indestructible true form is revealed!

His purple-gold blood energy erupted, and his aura soared to the peak of the upper level of the fourth realm!

The Mountain-Shattering Staff, wreathed in blazing purple-gold flames, crashed down!

The Qitian Staff's intent exploded with full force, and the giant staff phantom behind him stood tall and imposing!

"Well done!"

He burst into laughter, a golden light flashing in his eyes, the weight and power of his royal bloodline still lingering!

He neither dodged nor avoided, but instead fiercely swung his dragon-patterned staff upwards!

clang--!!!

The two sticks collided, creating a shockwave!

The ground cracked!

Instead of retreating, Chen Xing advanced, and with a thought, he created an external body!

Three clones simultaneously pounced on Potian from different directions!

Freeze spell!

An invisible wave instantly enveloped the sky!

Po Tian's body stiffened, but he broke free in an instant with his powerful blood and qi!

He roared and swept his dragon-patterned staff horizontally, shattering the three clones!

But Chen Xing himself had already taken advantage of this brief opening to appear behind him.

The Mountain-Shattering Staff struck like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair, aiming straight for his back!

"good!"

Po Tian praised him, but instead of turning around, he thrust the Dragon Pattern Staff backward with a backhand thrust!

The point was precisely aimed at the tip of the Mountain-Shattering Staff!

Bang! Both of them staggered back several steps at the same time.

The purple-gold light in Chen Xing's eyes intensified, and his fighting spirit was completely ignited!

The Somersault Cloud erupted, and his figure circled around Potian, launching a frenzied attack!

The Nine Forms of Burning Heaven were unleashed in succession, and flames swept across the heavens and earth!

The Qitian Staff's intent followed him like a shadow, constantly exerting mental pressure!

The more they fought, the more alarmed they became!

He originally thought that with his royal bloodline and rich combat experience, he could easily suppress Chen Xing.

But the reality is that Chen Xing's combat strength far exceeds the scope of the upper level of the fourth realm!

The domineering aura of that purple-gold blood, the arrogant intent of that Qitian Staff.

The endless stream of bizarre supernatural abilities, and the ability to grow stronger with each battle.

A terrifying, seemingly tireless regenerative ability...

This put immense pressure on him, a fifth-order royal bloodline!

The two fought a fierce battle for three hundred rounds in the valley!

The golden and purple-gold light constantly collided, intertwined, and exploded!

The entire valley was plowed over and over again, but not an inch of the ground was intact!

Ultimately, the two jumped backwards simultaneously and separated.

They were panting, but their eyes were filled with a joyful smile.

Po Tian wiped his sweat and looked at Chen Xing.

It completely turned into admiration: "Brother Xing, your combat power... is truly fucking heaven-defying!!"

Chen Xingping, his blood churning, did not answer.

He sat down cross-legged, took out a golden-patterned dragon blood fruit, and put it directly into his mouth.

Grand Celestial Immortal Technique, at full power!

Om-! ! !

His previous exhilarating battle with Potian had already pushed his peak fourth-realm bottleneck to the brink of collapse.

At this moment, under the catalysis of the Golden Dragon Blood Fruit's vast and pure energy.

In addition, the Great Celestial Immortal Technique boasts terrifying absorption and refining efficiency...

Snap! Snap!

It felt as if an invisible barrier inside my body shattered with a crash!

Chen Xing's body was enveloped in a purple-gold aura that surged forth like a volcano that had been suppressed for millions of years!

Above his head, a towering pillar of purple-gold light, tens of feet high, formed, piercing through the heavens and the earth!

From within the pillar of light, faint sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling could be heard.

It lasted for a full dozen breaths before slowly dissipating!

Peak of the Middle Realm → Upper Realm of the Fourth Realm!

Po Tian watched in stunned silence, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

"Brother Xing... Brother Xing! You've broken through already?!"

"Ascending to the fourth realm?! This commotion...this aura..."

"This is even more exaggerated than when those in our clan broke through to the fifth rank!"

「Σ(っ°Д°;)っ」

Chen Xing slowly opened his eyes, a flash of purple-gold light disappearing from them.

His aura was restrained, yet it gave people a more profound feeling.

He clenched his fist, feeling the power within him surge by at least 50%.

He nodded in satisfaction, noticing the increased spiritual energy absorption efficiency from the Great Celestial Immortal Technique.

He stood up, looked at Potian, and said only two words:

"lead the way."

Po Tian was startled and immediately picked up the dragon-patterned staff.

Nodding excitedly:

"Alright! Brother Xing! The Golden Armored Earth Dragon's lair isn't far from here, I'll take you there right now!"

……

On the way, Potian's talkative nature erupted once again.

"Brother Xing, let me tell you, that old man in golden armor is one of the overlords of the middle level of the Golden Dragon Pattern Heavenly Secret Realm!"

"Mid-level fifth tier, royal bloodline!"

"After transforming, he's about 2.2 meters tall, with a broad back and a muscular build, a pair of dark golden dragon horns on his head, and an incredibly handsome face—"

"Of course, not as handsome as me!"

Even in the most frustrating moment, he couldn't resist boasting.

"The weapon he used was a top-grade S-rank Dragon-Splitting Whip, that thing is incredibly insidious."

"It's covered in barbs; one pull and it'll tear your skin apart."

"He's brutally tyrannical and extremely territorial; he'll fight anyone who dares to come within ten miles of his lair!"

Chen Xing listened silently, memorizing the information.

Mid-level fifth rank, royal bloodline.

S-grade superior-quality Dragon Splitting Whip, power type, with insidious whip techniques... requires careful handling.

The two walked very fast, and half an hour later they arrived at a rugged terrain.

The outskirts of a desolate mountain range covered with huge metal ores and sharp golden spikes.

The air was filled with a faint fishy smell and a rich blend of earth and metal elemental spiritual energy.

"This is it, Brother Xing."
