Breaking through five realms in a single day, a god among men!

The northernmost part of Luoxia City.

Changliu Mountain is home to a sixth-rank aristocratic family in Chuzhou. A gilded plaque hangs high above the mountain gate, with the three large, flamboyant characters "Sima Family" prominently displayed. The two vermilion pillars are a full twenty feet tall.

A large group of more than 4,000 people arrived in a grand procession.

The leader reined in his horse, suddenly unfurled his blood-red wings and soared into the sky, standing atop the heavens overlooking the entire mountain range. He condensed the Eight-Turn World-Destroying Palm in his palm, and his boundless true essence poured out in all directions.

With a single palm strike, the entire mountain gate collapsed.

The gilded plaque was shattered into pieces, and the two pillars were also broken into pieces.

"Gu Lin!!"

A series of furious roars.

Several elders of the Sima clan came out.

Holding aloft plaques bearing titles of nobility and official ranks, they roared with all their might:

"Our Sima family is a sixth-rank noble family specially granted by the central government. We are the residence of an earl and a prestigious family in Chuzhou. For generations, our family members have served in government, loyal to the divine court, governing the region and protecting the people. How dare you act recklessly? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the central government? Aren't you afraid of being condemned by the people? Aren't you afraid of being haunted by the vengeful spirits of the underworld?"

Before Gu Lin could speak, Xiao Mu, the number one warrior, unleashed a sonic forbidden technique, his voice echoing like thunder throughout the entire mountain range:

"Lord Gu is a commander of the Holy Land, a Marquis of Chuwei specially bestowed by the central government, and a peerless hero who resisted the invasion of the Demon Clan. In which aspect is he not superior to your Sima family?"

"An investigation has revealed that the crimes of your Sima clan are countless, and you deserve to be exterminated! The people of Chuzhou will only applaud the downfall of such a corrupt and powerful family!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than an old man with white hair used a speed-moving technique. His withered face was contorted with hatred, and he knew that the Sima clan's destruction was irreversible. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared:

"The so-called number one genius of the Divine Dynasty, easily defeating opponents of higher ranks, dares to fight me?"

After saying that, his cultivation level exploded, revealing him to be at the eighth level of the Expansion Realm!

This is the ancestor of the sixth-rank aristocratic families!

It must be said, it is a behemoth!

Gu Lin smiled, standing in the sky and looking at Xiao Mu:

"Suppress him."

Xiao Mu was startled and pointed to himself.

me?

I don't have that kind of fighting power.

In an instant, Gu Lin's eyes seemed to sink into an abyss, a place of eternal desolation, and he gazed down at Ancestor Sima.

Sima Laozu's cultivation level suddenly plummeted to the sixth level of the Expansion Realm.

In just ten breaths, a binding formation descended, and a violent counter-formation appeared above the head of Ancestor Sima, whose cultivation level was reduced to the fourth level of the Expansion Realm.

Xiao Mu, brimming with heroic spirit, strode forward, his eyes filled with disdain, and said:

"You don't actually think you're some kind of peerless genius with a Daoist body, do you?"

Having broken through from the Divine Beast Blood Pool to the first level of the Expansion Realm, how could he not be confident in facing ordinary fourth-level Expansion Realm cultivators? The reason he didn't dare to be too arrogant in the underground cave was because everyone there possessed heaven-defying combat power. Even an old man with half his body almost buried in the ground dared to bark wildly!

Battle is imminent.

"The Fist of Outstanding People and Abundant Resources!"

Xiao Mu immediately unleashed his killing move, evolving chaos with the power to split mountains with thunder. This move was only a Heaven-rank combat skill, but its wonder lay in the fact that the stronger one's luck, the greater the power of this move, far surpassing King-rank combat skills in his hands.

After a few punches, Master Sima was forced to retreat.

After eight moves, Sima Laozu was a bloody mess.

He glared at Xiao Mu fiercely, then suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter.

Xiao Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, finding this kind of frog in a well utterly ridiculous.

Isn't he just trying to self-destruct?

really.

Sima Laozu's body swelled up, and in an instant, his blood and qi reversed their flow. As his body shattered into pieces of flesh and blood, a terrifying power swept over him.

Xiao Mu calmly took out a skeleton and a talisman bone, instantly resisting most of the power. He then used his Earth Vein Sacred Body to escape into the ground.

Ten breaths later, he dusted himself off and stood with his hands behind his back in the distance.

Gu Lin gave the order in a chilling tone:

"Arrest them, and raze every mansion on Changliu Mountain to the ground!"

The heavens and earth resounded with the roar of mountains and the roar of the sea:

"Yes, sir!"

Everyone rushed into Changliu Mountain.

Gu Lin saw Xiao Mu standing there motionless, his eyes darting around, and he found it suspicious.

He walked over and gestured for Xiao Mu to leave.

Immediately, a giant finger of ice and fire from the Nine Heavens slammed into the ground, digging a full eight zhang deep, where a damaged earth-rank magic weapon was found.

Gu Lin was speechless.

Seeing that Gu Lin didn't try to take it, Xiao Mu felt relieved and quickly put it into his storage ring.

Xuanyuan Zhu and Wu Di were also stunned. How could they have picked up a Rank 1 magic weapon so easily and simply?

Two hours later, looking around, there were no more tall buildings on Changliu Mountain. All the buildings had been reduced to ruins. The family's treasure vault and collection building had collapsed with a crash, and boxes of spirit stones, gold, silver and weapons were laid out.

Gu Lin led his men back to Luoxia Mountain.

Along the way, countless dignitaries wore expressions of awe, while many ordinary people were filled with reverence.

Having a son should be like having a guardian spirit!

He built his own empire with his bare fists!

......

Ten days later, the jailer's prison had already held hundreds of criminals, some of whom were members of the Sima clan, others who were related to the Sima family, and many of them had committed numerous evil deeds.

Gu Lin stepped into the prison cell and used the Death Gaze Gu technique. His gaze swept across the area, and one by one, the members of the Sima clan died.

Two hours later, he walked out of the prison.

A few golden lights flashed through my mind, eventually coalescing into the three large characters "Book of Merit".

[Killed a Class A villain (third rank), killed a Class A wicked scholar (first rank), killed a Class A wicked scholar (first rank), killed a Class B villain (eighth rank).....

[Reward: Max-level 5-star battle skill - Nightfall]

[Reward: Max-level 4-star Confucian skill, Ode to the Purification of Light]

[Martial Arts Merit Points: 66571/480000]

[Confucian and Taoist Merit Points: 3695/300000]

[Merit Points in Taoist Arts: 25675/300000]

[Witchcraft Merit Points: 192135/300000]

Thanks to the help of the divine beast's blood pool, he broke through two levels, and his merit points in the Expansion Realm increased from 600,000 to 480,000.

Now, the territory within the dantian has expanded once again, with mountains, rivers, flowers, trees and shrubs growing vigorously, and streams of profound true energy filling the acupoints.

Breakthrough to the fourth level of the Expansion Realm!

At the same time, a vast expanse of purple energy condensed in the Wen Palace, forming a statue of himself.

Breakthrough to the first level of the Return to Simplicity Realm!

My Confucian and Taoist cultivation has finally skyrocketed!

However, it is still equivalent to the first level of the Mountain and Sea Realm, far behind the Dao of Arts and the Dao of Witchcraft, let alone compared with the Dao of Martial Arts.

Gu Lin turned to a page of the Book of Merit.

[Five-Star Battle Technique: Night Falls. When this technique is used, the area within a radius of twenty feet becomes completely shrouded in darkness, with countless stars twinkling. Not only can it compress space, but each star also possesses destructive power.]

Gu Lin smiled broadly.

This move can be completely combined with the Shattering Star Emperor Fist!

That power is truly terrifying!

The more star particles there are, the stronger the Star Shattering Emperor Fist becomes!

Gu Lin then looked at the "Ode to Light and Purification".

This Confucian technique belongs to the category of defensive forbidden arts. As the name suggests, it can purify the enemy's attack when threatened.

However, the level of Confucianism and Taoism is too low, making it difficult to exert a powerful purifying effect.

"It's a pity I can't get promoted!" Gu Lin was still very regretful.

The path to promotion from a thousand households is too difficult.

We must investigate the commanders of the Holy Land, or high-ranking officials of the Divine Dynasty of the second rank or above, who are all ministers or prime ministers.
