Fire!

Fire!

Fire!

Within the dim realm, fire appeared for the first time, bringing a glimmer of life to this world and allowing Chen Yuan's consciousness to sense the warmth of the flames.

It also brought him hope.

"Condense!"

With a thought from Chen Yuan, the fire born from heaven and earth gradually began to transform into the shape of a long sword. In a short while, it solidified into a phantom blade burning with flames.

Grasping the blade, he slashed lightly.

A sound suddenly appeared between heaven and earth, rumbling as if the entire world were trembling. The moment the blade's light struck the dim realm,

The sky darkened and the earth paled, and the world began to collapse.

The ground caved in, and the void rose.

The turbid and pure energies began to separate. At the same time, a wisp of divine power rose from within the realm, a power of rules that was completely different from the rules of heaven and earth that Chen Yuan had comprehended.

It was the power of rules born within his physical body's realm.

When that wisp of rule power solidified, Chen Yuan suddenly realized that he had regained control of his power, and his consciousness could return at any time. Within the realm,

Azure Dragon of the East, Vermilion Bird of the South, White Tiger of the West, and Black Tortoise of the North, the Four Divine Beasts manifested one by one, as if they were the only living beings in this realm.

And their manifestation greatly accelerated the speed at which Chen Yuan's inner world's rule power condensed.

......

"Still not leaving?!"

Lu Chengfeng's voice was full of vigor, seemingly not at all afraid of Mo Ying. On the contrary, he was somewhat contemptuous, as if facing an ant, telling him to get out of the way.

"Arrogant!"

The anger that Mo Ying had been accumulating became even more uncontrollable. Even though he knew that the person who had come was a strong one, he still had to test him. Otherwise, if he retreated without saying a word,

Wouldn't his previous strength make him seem like a waste?

The auras of the two sides were on the verge of erupting. Mo Luo wanted to assist, but Lu Chengfeng's voice came to his ears, ordering him to retreat. He didn't think too much about it and moved back a little.

Mo Ying took the initiative to move. His massive, ten-thousand-zhang tiger body quickly solidified, gradually becoming more solid. One could see strands of Mo Ying's blood essence filling it.

Terrifying inner world rules surrounded him. The ten-thousand-zhang giant beast roared towards the sky, its voice shaking the heavens. With one step, the void turbulence within a radius of hundreds of thousands of zhang instantly collapsed.

The terrifying body surged forward like a collapsing sky. The powerful sense of oppression made Mo Luo's face subconsciously change. He knew that in their previous exchange, Mo Ying had not used his full strength. Now, this was the true power of this Demon Emperor.

But faced with such terrifying pressure, Lu Chengfeng's expression remained unchanged, as if indifferent. The Five Elements Rules that surrounded him were endlessly generating and regenerating.

They directly transformed into five rule chains, like swimming dragons, and directly locked onto the ten-thousand-zhang giant beast. No matter how it struggled, it was to no avail.

Mo Ying's expression also changed drastically.

"Humph!"

Lu Chengfeng snorted lightly and waved his hand. The void turbulence within a radius of hundreds of thousands of zhang instantly began to gather, directly transforming into a ten-thousand-zhang crane within this void interlayer.

"Go."

He softly uttered a word, and the crane formed from void turbulence seemed to instantly gain sentience. With a long cry, it streaked across the sky and directly slammed into the ten-thousand-zhang giant beast.

"Boom!!!"

The terrifying explosion reverberated through heaven and earth. The giant tiger and the crane were simultaneously obliterated. The powerful shock waves continued to spread in all directions. Even Mo Luo immediately condensed a layer of rule barrier in front of him to block the aftershocks from approaching.

The horrifying shock waves dissipated, and the center of the impact directly exploded, revealing the faint starry sky outside, as if reflecting the heavens and the earth.

Mo Ying immediately felt an unparalleled sense of danger. Without hesitation, he immediately retreated, and at the same time, directly sacrificed the Demon Clan's supreme treasure, the Myriad Demon Banner.

Opening his mouth, he spat out a mouthful of essence blood. Mo Ying quickly summoned endless phantoms of demon god beasts, roaring and surging towards Lu Chengfeng, as if to devour him.

"Child's play."

Lu Chengfeng's expression was calm, but his eyes suddenly focused. In the next moment, five small flags instantly appeared in the void, forming the Five Elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. They directly enveloped the heaven and earth within a radius of tens of thousands of zhang, directly suppressing the roaring demon beast phantoms.

The battle of a powerful Earth Immortal, with a casual move, could turn the world upside down.

.....

The powerful battle of Earth Immortals was terrifying, but being situated within the void turbulence, it was not visible to the public. The tremors it caused were not small, but after all, they were not as shocking as seeing them with one's own eyes.

Many people within the Nan Province could only hear the muffled sounds of explosions constantly reverberating in the void. They didn't know what was happening and thought it was the movements caused by the Four Symbols appearing simultaneously.

And in the vicinity of the Nine Dragon Mountains, due to Xiang Guangsheng's clearing of the area, almost no one dared to approach within ten miles. They could only watch the shocking scene from afar.

"Could this phenomenon be someone undergoing a tribulation?"

A stronger cultivator with some knowledge speculated.

After all, in order for a nascent soul to transform into a Yang Soul, it had to undergo a life-and-death thunder tribulation. Many people knew this, and it was a very likely guess.

But some people didn't think so and directly retorted:

"Friend, when have you ever seen a tribulation scene where the Four Symbols appear simultaneously? If I'm not mistaken, there should be something divine here, containing the Four Divine Beasts, but they have been dormant all along. Now, perhaps because of the chaos in the world, they are appearing simultaneously, but divine beasts are born of heaven and earth and possess great power. If they want to appear, they must first undergo a tribulation..."

"There's some truth to that."

"However, why would these Four Divine Beasts appear in a small Nine Dragon Mountains? This place has thin spiritual energy and is uninhabited for a hundred miles. It's not suitable for hiding."

"Fool, can't you figure out what's going on here at this point?"

"What do you mean?"

"The reason why this place has such thin spiritual energy is because the Four Divine Beasts are here. Their strength is great. With each breath, they can devour a large amount of spiritual energy, so this place will..."

Someone sighed deeply, saying with resentment:

"It's hateful that Xiang Guangsheng wants to monopolize such an opportunity, not even willing to share a drop of soup with us."

"That's right. The Four Divine Beasts, that's a divine being that exists in legends. Even a drop of their essence blood or a divine feather would be a rare opportunity for us.

But now, we can only stand here and watch. The opportunity is right in front of us, but we can't take it. My heart truly aches."

"What's the panic? Xiang Guangsheng is so selfish and self-serving, he's already on the path to death!" Someone said with a gloomy expression, sneering in disdain.

"Oh? What makes you say that, friend?"

"Yes, yes..."

"Now that Xiang Qianqiu is dead, the Xiang family has no backing. There's only a small Xiang Guangsheng left. Although he has Yang Soul cultivation and True Lord strength, how does he compare to Yan King Chen Yuan?"

"Haha, there's naturally no comparison."

"That's right, who is Yan King? He's the best in the world, invincible below immortals. Otherwise, how could he occupy tens of thousands of miles of territory and dominate the world?"

Everyone echoed in agreement.

"The key point is here. Even if Xiang Guangsheng obtains the opportunity of the Four Divine Beasts, he won't be able to keep it. Now that I think about it, the news has already reached Shu Province City.

Yan King is on his way. As long as Yan King arrives, what can Xiang Guangsheng do? At that time, not only will he have to offer the opportunity he obtained with both hands,

Even the Xiang family's foundation will be destroyed. Perhaps... we can even get a piece of the pie..."

"Hahaha, that makes sense."

"Exactly, exactly..."

Everyone laughed incessantly.

They didn't know that Xiang Guangsheng had secretly submitted to Chen Yuan, and they were still fantasizing about the Xiang family suffering because of it.

"Hiss... everyone, look quickly?"

"This... this....."

"Could it be that the Four Divine Beasts have already successfully undergone their tribulation?"

Everyone speculated, looking at the sudden change in the situation.

That's right. Just as they were discussing, the tribulation clouds that had enveloped who knows how many miles were now gradually dissipating. The rumbling sounds of thunder were gradually weakening and disappearing.

The thunder tribulation... had passed!

And within the Nine Dragon Mountains, at the center of the nine dragon-shaped mountains, the Heaven and Earth Four Symbols Divine Furnace was also gradually collapsing. The heaven and earth it had enveloped were directly devoured by the inner world.

The divine furnace was gone, replaced by a powerful figure.

His hair was disheveled, his upper body was naked, and his lower body was burning with raging flames. His muscles were clearly defined, like a streamlined shape. His arms were bulging with veins, containing surging blood essence. Whether viewed from afar or up close, one could feel the beauty of that power.

"Roar!"

"Aowu..."

"Clang..."

The Azure Dragon of the East was hundreds of zhang long. With a dragon's roar, it resounded throughout the world, suspended in the void. The Vermilion Bird of the South echoed with a sharp sound like a phoenix's cry.

Streaking across the sky, the fiery red light illuminated the world.

The White Tiger of the West roared into the sky, its body like a hurricane, sweeping across the void.

The Black Tortoise of the North stomped its hooves, and the earth and sky shook. Among the Four Divine Beasts, it was the largest in size.

The Four Divine Beasts guarded each direction.

Then, the nine divine dragons emerged, their dragon roars shaking the sky, swimming in the center.

Such phenomena were extremely terrifying. The onlookers were all amazed, awed by the power of the divine beasts.

After about a moment, the nine divine dragons turned and plunged down, surging into Chen Yuan's body, forming nine divine patterns on his body, releasing brilliant divine light.

The Azure Dragon of the East followed closely behind, merging into Chen Yuan's right arm, transforming into a divine pattern.

The White Tiger of the West roared into the sky, merging into Chen Yuan's left arm, transforming into a divine pattern.

The Vermilion Bird of the South and the Black Tortoise of the North also moved, merging into Chen Yuan's left leg and right leg, respectively, each transforming into a divine pattern, their light illuminating the world.

Even the divine light of the great sun above the nine heavens paled in comparison.

The Four Divine Beasts transformed into the Four Extremes, instantly adding a terrifying quality to Chen Yuan's physical body.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

In the silent heaven and earth, a thunderous sound suddenly reverberated, its sound traveling for hundreds of miles. Everyone who heard the sound felt it explode next to their ears.

Subconsciously, they looked towards the source of the sound.

The subsequent sounds followed closely behind, like drums beating in the army, containing a rhythm, as if a peerless ferocious beast that had been asleep for ten thousand years was awakening, its heart beating.

The divine light of the five viscera rotated, and a terrifying pressure gradually began to rise.

That kind of aura was like the might of heaven, soaring straight into the sky. One could clearly see that above the nine heavens, a pillar of light formed from the energy of heaven and earth was directly penetrating Chen Yuan's physical body.

The divine patterns on his body were gradually fading away, until they disappeared without a trace.

The terrifying aura was rising steadily, at an extremely fast speed. In the blink of an eye, it exerted pressure over hundreds of thousands of zhang, and the surrounding void was distorted, as if it had been crushed.

His eyelashes trembled, and Chen Yuan slowly opened his eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well, as if they contained endless galaxies. With one glance, they would devour everything.

At the same time that he opened his eyes, his aura also reached its peak.

His physical body... had become sanctified!

A Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm!

A Saint of Martial Arts!

What is a Saint?

It is the extreme of martial arts, shattering the void. The hundred acupoints on the body secretly correspond to heaven and earth, forming a world of its own. It can... be reborn from a drop of blood!

After cultivating for several years, he finally... finally today, transcended the physical body and reached the realm of the former Chu Emperor Taizu. Once his nascent soul breaks through, he will become a Martial God.

A God of Martial Arts!

With a shake of his arms, Chen Yuan roared, and the nearby void twisted, the ground began to crack, and the Nine Dragon Mountains below seemed to turn over, and a crack began to form.

One sound, earth-shattering!

Like a magnitude ten earthquake, the whole world seemed to collapse, and only he stood there, like an immortal and a god.

Just then.

From the eastern horizon, a noble purple color suddenly solidified. At first, it looked like a purple ribbon, but when it was fully revealed, it was a purple firmament.

Looking at a glance, don't know the end.

Purple Qi Comes East for Thirty Thousand Miles!

This time, the purple air was completely different from before. You couldn't see the end. All the warriors who watched the Nine Dragon Mountains were stunned in place at this time.

"This...what is this?"

"Purple air... purple air... coming east..."

"Who is that?"

"It seems... Yan King... Chen Yuan..."

"Purple air is added to the body, a natural saint!"

"Yan Wang is the master of destiny, and this troubled world should be ended by him..."

Xiang Guang-sheng's eyes were in a trance, looking at Chen Yuan, who was bathing in the purple air, as if he saw a familiar voice again, that was... the patriarch Xiang Qianqiu.

They... seemed to gradually overlap.

As an elder of the Xiang family, how could he not know the records in the clan?

On the day that the Taizu's body became a saint, the purple air came eastward for thousands of miles.

When the Taizu became a god, auspiciousness descended from the sky.

Now, after a thousand years, he... the descendants of the Xiang family, once again saw the scene of thousands of years ago, but I don't know whether the current Yan King Chen Yuan is powerful.

Or the Chu Overlord Taizu of a thousand years ago is stronger.

The surging power contained in his flesh made Chen Yuan extremely intoxicated. This was the real power of immortals and gods. His power had increased by more than doubled?

The Nascent Soul in the Lingtai was bathed in the purple air, and only felt warm and very comfortable.

His eyes looked forward, as if he had already seen the way forward, and saw hope.

In the midst of darkness, he seemed to see the illusory shadow of the Chu Taizu's imprint left between heaven and earth, staring at him, the two sides were silent.

But everything is self-evident.

Gradually... the brand did not say a word, did not make a word, and began to collapse until it disappeared, as if it had never appeared in this world.

Chen Yuan clenched his fists, his eyes were solemn, and he whispered to himself:

"The next step... is Wushen."
