Inside Xiao Ruobai's body, the barrier to the Heaven and Human Realm, which had long been tempered to the extreme and was only a hair's breadth away from breaking, let out a crisp and melodious cracking sound under the impact of this perfect aura, like ice thawing!
"Crack..."
The sound was very light, yet it seemed to resound in the depths of the laws of heaven and earth, clearly transmitted into the perception of every high-level cultivator.
Buzz—!
With Xiao Ruobai at the center, the spiritual energy of the entire world suddenly boiled and rioted!
Like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, it madly gathered towards him! It formed a massive spiritual energy vortex covering ten thousand zhang!
At the center of the vortex, Xiao Ruobai stood proudly, his black hair dancing wildly, looking like the only true god between heaven and earth!
The dark gold vital blood around him was no longer concealed; instead, it involuntarily surged out, shooting straight into the clouds!
Within the vital blood, that indomitable golden War God dharma idol appeared once again. But this time, the dharma idol was no longer illusory. It rapidly solidified, as if stepping from nothingness into reality, exuding a supreme majesty that suppressed the eight desolations and six directions!
An aura of a King that stood above all living beings, wielding laws and commanding the world, slowly awakened like a slumbering primeval fierce beast, and climbed steadily at a terrifying speed!
"Is this a breakthrough?!"
"My god! He's going to break through! Breaking through to the King Realm at this very moment?!"
"To have just experienced such a tragic battle, yet immediately seize the opportunity to channel the world's spiritual energy into his body to break through?! What terrifying Dao heart and foundation!"
The uproar that had just subsided soared into the sky once more. Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events!
Having just completed a heaven-defying feat of defeating a King, he was now about to step into the King domain in the blink of an eye? What astonishing talent!
Above the nine heavens, Wang Zhan's father's pupils shrank abruptly, his face instantly turning extremely ugly!
Not only did the other party defeat his son in public, but he was actually going to use his son as a whetstone to complete his final breakthrough? This was a humiliating disgrace!
Meanwhile, the eyes of the other mighty figures were incomparably solemn.
This child's temperament and talent were simply too terrifying! Once he successfully broke into the King Realm, relying on his War God Physique, to what extent would his strength skyrocket? It was simply unimaginable!
At the same time, Azure Mystic Sect, at the peak of the Purple Bamboo Peak.
Amidst the swirling sea of clouds, a water mirror condensed from clouds and mist was clearly reflecting every thrilling detail on the ruined battlefield.
Gu Changge sat leisurely on a bluestone, his calm gaze sweeping across the water mirror.
When he saw Xiao Ruobai completely ignore Wang Zhan's challenge and sink his mind into himself, he nodded slightly, a barely noticeable curve of approval appearing at the corners of his mouth.
"Not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat. Guarding the mind within, not hindered by external things. Through the tempering of this battle, Ruobai has gained quite a lot."
His voice was peaceful, yet it seemed to lay bare the true meaning of this battle.
In front of the water mirror, Fang Hanyu held his longsword in his arms. The sword qi around him was restrained, but his eyes were as sharp as a cold blade about to be unsheathed.
He stared fixedly at Xiao Ruobai's completely restrained yet increasingly profound aura in the water mirror, as well as Wang Zhan's forcefully supported unwillingness, and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
"Confirming one's Dao in an extreme battle, breaking and then establishing. Eldest Senior Brother's path is already clear."
A trace of burning battle intent flashed in his eyes, as if he too had been ignited by this battle. "Master."
Fang Hanyu turned around, bowed respectfully to Gu Changge's back, and said in a cold yet firm voice, "Watching this battle, this disciple has felt something in his heart. This disciple wishes to go down the mountain."
To the side, Ling Xi's green dress fluttered slightly. Her cold eyes swept over Fang Hanyu and then fell back onto Xiao Ruobai's figure in the water mirror. Her red lips parted slightly, "I'll go too."
Meanwhile, Fatty Wang, who was beside them, looked at the world-dominating figure of his Eldest Senior Brother who was about to break through in the water mirror, and heard the resolute words of his Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister about going down the mountain. He immediately rubbed his hands in anxiety, his chubby face filled with burning urgency.
"Aiya! Eldest Senior Brother is about to break through to the King Realm! Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Sister are also going down the mountain to gain experience! Everyone is so fierce. If I fall too far behind, how can that do!"
He subconsciously thought of the talismans he had been researching recently.
An incredibly complex name that made his mind sway just thinking about it flashed through his mind in an instant. It was precisely one of the top-tier killing divine talismans recorded in the Grand Void Talisman Scripture—the Nine Heavens Thunder Controlling Talisman!
If this talisman could be successfully refined, it would draw upon the Law-Breaking Divine Thunder from above the nine heavens, specifically countering all kinds of protective divine lights and divine ability phenomena, with power that could be called world-destroying!
Although he hadn't successfully carved one yet, he had researched it to the point where he was practically there. If he could just find a place with plenty of thunderstorms, he would definitely succeed.
Thinking of this, his heart heated up, and a bold thought popped up: "When I successfully refine this Nine Heavens Thunder Controlling Talisman, I'll also go find that Wang Zhan or whatever to test it out!
First, I'll use the Dragon Trapping Talisman to lock down the opponent, then smash ten or twenty Thunder Talismans right in his face. I don't believe he'll be able to withstand it."
As soon as this thought emerged, he immediately felt his entire body filled with drive!
Fatty Wang fiercely clenched his fists, a ruthless look of risking it all appearing on his face. "I must speed up! Otherwise, how will I fight alongside my senior brothers and sisters in the future?"
He suddenly raised his head and shouted at Gu Changge, his tone filled with urgency and determination, "Master! I'm going too!!"
Gu Changge's gaze remained on the water mirror as he said indifferently, "The Dao must be walked alone. If you want to go, then go."
"Thank you, Master!"
The three of them no longer hesitated. Transforming into three streaks of light, they instantly vanished from the mountain peak, heading toward the mountain gate.
Just moments after the three left, at the cuff of Gu Changge's sleeve hanging by his side, an extremely subtle streak of black light flashed and disappeared. Like an illusion, it quietly vanished into the void, silently escaping in the direction Fang Hanyu and the other two had left.
Within that black light, the phantom of an exquisite and small black snake could faintly be seen. If it wasn't Little White, who else could it be?
Gu Changge seemed entirely unaware of this, merely turning his gaze back to the water mirror.
At this moment, the scene in the water mirror had already drastically changed!
"Rumble—!!"
The world changed color as the winds rose and the clouds surged! The ten-thousand-zhang spiritual energy vortex spun madly, transforming into an incomparably pure torrent of energy that continuously poured into Xiao Ruobai's body.
His consumption from the previous battle was instantly replenished, his injuries healed at a visible rate, and his aura skyrocketed wildly as if there were no end!
Beneath his skin, dark gold runes flashed with unprecedented brightness, the Dao sounds within his bones grew even more grandiose, and his blood surged like a roaring river!
The origin of the War God Physique was undergoing an astonishing metamorphosis, carrying out the ultimate leap in life level!
This process seemed lengthy, but in reality, it only took a few breaths!
The instant the ten-thousand-zhang spiritual energy vortex was entirely swallowed up—
"Thump!"
Like the first heartbeat when the world was first created, it shocked everyone's divine souls!
Xiao Ruobai suddenly opened his eyes!
Within his eyes, there were no longer burning flames of war. Instead, they had transformed into two deep, endless dark gold star vortices. Within them, the sun and moon rose and fell, and stars were born and destroyed, as if containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth!
A supreme King's pressure that truly stood above the mundane world and governed a domain of heaven and earth swept out like a tidal wave, shrouding the surroundings!
Wherever the King's pressure passed, all things fell silent, and all living beings bowed their heads!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
s + Rent Collection Wealth】 At the start, he inherited a rundown house in the urban village from his grandfather. The house had no tenants, but the moment he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, a self-proclaimed empress from the Tianxuan Continent arrived as his first tenant. Ye Chuan soon discovered that with every new tenant moving in, not only did he receive massive daily payments, but he also obtained unique items related to their backgrounds. 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Tiger Strength Pill—dramatically enhances physical power!】 【Acquired Bai Qianshuang’s related item: Deer Blood Pill—significantly boosts vitality!】 …… From that day on, all sorts of bizarre tenants began appearing in the house: the empress from Tianxuan Continent, an apocalyptic sorceress from the Magic Realm, a mysterious scientific girl who fell through a spacetime rift… Every single day, he received strange, powerful items and endless money. Then one day, he suddenly realized—he had become invincible. Enough, enough! Stop giving me more!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
