Two Heavenly Gods. Shi Jian merely waved his hand, and their heads fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Heavenly Gods had been slain. In the distance, all who witnessed this felt a surging wave in their hearts. To be able to slay Heavenly Gods with a mere raise of a hand? How terrifying.
This day was a dark day for the Heavenly Gods in Immortal Ancient. After emerging from seclusion, he directly engaged in a bloody battle. Dozens perished, their blood staining the earth.
He then sought out races like the Eight-Armed Soul Clan, instructing them to find the whereabouts of the others who slipped through the net. As his actions unfolded, a shocking wave was stirred up.
"Dozens of Heavenly God-level powerhouses died by his hand?" People were almost numb.
When a Heavenly God perished, there would be lightning, thunder, and blood rain. On this day, the blood rain in the sky never stopped.
After the outside forces saw this, their eyes were splitting with rage. When had they ever suffered such tragic losses? Dozens of Heavenly Gods, all famous in the outside world, were cut down like cabbage.
People from various forces were restlessly agitated. The talent displayed by Shi Jian was too terrifying. He had become a great threat.
"Let Dao-Grade figures take action… kill him!"
"His blood is needed to warn the world."
"Die!"
Many forces declared their stance, determined to eliminate him. Those of too high a realm still dared not act due to Liu Shen, but they could try to challenge her bottom line. Sending Dao-Grade figures to deal with someone in the Saint Sacrifice Realm was not excessive.
…
After chasing and killing Heavenly Gods for several days, Shi Jian found Shi Hao, who had "returned as a king." As expected, he had indeed cultivated three strands of Immortal Qi and broken through to the True God Realm.
He was preparing to emerge from seclusion to deal with Heavenly Gods when he ran into Shi Jian.
"Brother, I've cultivated three strands of Immortal Qi," he said, sharing his good news.
Shi Jian smiled. "This is a good thing, but don't be arrogant. There are also quite a few people who have cultivated three strands of Immortal Qi." He was naturally referring to those from the foreign lands.
"I know there are countless heroes. I will cultivate even harder," Shi Hao responded with determination.
Shi Jian nodded. "If there are no surprises, once we leave Immortal Ancient, we can head to Emperor Pass. Among the enemies from the foreign lands, there are countless powerful foes. The ancient freaks are just an appetizer."
Shi Hao's eyes glowed with fervor. "Haha, Brother, with you and I working together, we will surely suppress Emperor Pass and sweep away all incoming enemies."
"Then you'll have to quickly raise your cultivation. Otherwise, you'll only be able to lie flat behind me and watch me slay them," Shi Jian laughed.
…
After the two brothers reunited, they discussed for a long time. Shi Jian imparted to him much experience on breaking through to the Saint Sacrifice Realm.
Several days passed. Shi Jian had also cultivated to a certain extent in the realm, attracting the God King Tribulation.
Dong! A sudden clap of thunder shook Immortal Ancient. Lightning poured down like a waterfall.
"A hundred insights are not as good as personally breaking through. Just watch me break this God King Tribulation," Shi Jian calmly spoke to Shi Hao.
Amidst myriad lightning bolts, he stood alone. Many geniuses in the Three Thousand Provinces saw him and knew the tribulation he was about to undergo. They watched with mixed feelings. In just a year or two, he had achieved terrifying accomplishments, making it impossible for them to catch up.
"His enemies are no longer us. Only sect master-level powerhouses can contend with him," someone sighed bitterly. Too fast.
…
The God King Tribulation was extraordinary. Heaven and earth collapsed. The lightning materialized. Lightning dragons rampaged, possessing the terrifying battle intent of a Heavenly God. However, Shi Jian merely waved his hand, and the surrounding runes dispersed the lightning, shattering the dragons.
The lightning exploded, turning into one great sun after another. Within them, Golden Crows evolved, spreading their wings and soaring, submerging the void. Any one of them possessed the aura of a Heavenly God.
Shi Jian remained unfazed. His fists glowed, and six strands of Immortal Qi surged out, instantly plunging into the flock of Golden Crows. Golden feathers flew wildly, stained with blood. He was like a young Heavenly Emperor, fighting enemies from all directions. One golden sun after another was blasted apart.
"Six strands of Immortal Qi????" Everyone watched in awe. Unparalleled, unprecedented. It seemed every realm of his was unique.
The Golden Crow ocean was dense and countless, but he was completely unaffected. His blood Qi surged as he charged upwards, piercing through the flock. Nine layers of lightning tribulation, one after another, were broken by him.
…
"So strong!" Shi Hao, watching from the side, couldn't help but clench his fists. He had only just managed to catch up, but after only a few years, he had been left far behind again. "I still need to work even harder."
"This child has the potential of an Immortal King," the Small Pagoda next to him exclaimed. It had followed Immortal King powerhouses and had vast knowledge. He felt Shi Hao's talent was unparalleled, but he didn't expect Shi Jian to be even more terrifying. The Small Pagoda could see Shi Hao's limit, but not Shi Jian's.
…
In the distance, the Witch also arrived. She sighed softly. When she first met him in the Lower Realm, he was only in the Spiritual Realm, like a little brat. In just two or three years, he had grown to this extent. "It seems he's becoming more and more out of reach."
…
Shi Jian continued to kill his way up. By the time he reached the Eighth Heaven, the lightning had almost materialized into a real place. A grand city appeared before him. The heavenly tribulation gathered all its power to kill him.
However, such an attack still could not cause much damage. His defensive divine abilities—Robe of the Gods, Canopy of the Five Emperors, Dominator's Domain—were too terrifying.
He felt no pressure and directly stepped into the Ninth Heaven. Suddenly, his entire aura dissipated. The power of this tribulation was unusual; it could weaken his Dao and cause his realm to fall. This was its true ultimate kill.
"A mere lightning tribulation, daring to reduce my Dao?" he snorted coldly. The aura of the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength burst forth, and he threw a punch, scattering the lightning.
He had safely passed the God King Tribulation, standing in the void, unstained by a speck of dust, like an immortal descending.
Heaven and earth were silent. People didn't know what to say. He passed the tribulation without a single injury?
He stepped onto the Tenth Heaven, and a supreme treasure pond appeared, containing lightning tribulation liquid. He casually collected it all. Having passed the tribulation, his cultivation in the Saint Sacrifice Realm was now completely stable. Next, he could break through to the Heavenly God Realm.
The era within Immortal Ancient was almost over. It was nearly time to leave. He looked deeply towards the outside world. When the great rift of Immortal Ancient was completely broken, there would surely be a battle.
…
At this time, the outside world was not peaceful. A group of mysterious visitors, not belonging to the Three Thousand Provinces, arrived. A young man among them made a move, directly sweeping through countless Heavenly Gods. No one was his match.
"Your land is truly in decline. Do you really expect to guard the border with this?" he said, shaking his head with disdain.
"You speak wildly," a Heavenly God from the Upper Realm retorted. "Wait a few days, and someone will naturally defeat you."
"Alright, let me see who in this ancient land is worth my attention," the young man laughed contemptuously.
The people of the Three Thousand Provinces looked at him without speaking. Laugh now. When that great fierce criminal from the Sin Blood emerges, let's see if you can still laugh.
Everyone had witnessed Shi Jian's strength. Heavenly God powerhouses were nothing but chickens and dogs in his hands. Even his enemies acknowledged his power. When he comes out, he will surely be able to severely curb the arrogance of this group.
