Killing Intent Aroused, Myriad Saints and Myriad Demons!

Rumble!

The mountain shattered.

Amid the dust filling the sky, Li Daochen and Zhao Jiuxiao continued to fall.

But brilliant golden light shone from Zhao Jiuxiao's body, and a golden flood dragon appeared beneath his feet, allowing him to hang in the air for a moment.

Heavenly Flood Dragon Soaring Technique!

This was an exceedingly rare flight-type divine ability that let him fly briefly without reaching the Heaven Flying Realm.

The next moment,

like an eagle swooping on its prey, Zhao Jiuxiao plunged down and struck with a fist.

Dragon Fish Churning Sea Fist!

His fist struck like a dragon fish churning the sea, raising a surging, raging tide.

Bang!

With the momentum of his flight and downward plunge behind him, Zhao Jiuxiao dealt explosive damage.

Li Daochen was blasted straight into the ground.

Zhao Jiuxiao's eyes were filled with chilling, murderous intent.

When facing an enemy, even a lion used its full strength to hunt a rabbit!

"Kill!"

Zhao Jiuxiao spun around and unleashed another divine ability, condensing a long golden spear in his hand and hurling it viciously toward the place where Li Daochen had fallen.

"Northern Dark Heavenly Martial, war god in a single thought!"

Zhao Jiuxiao hurled the spear, battle armor appearing over his body as he charged fiercely downward.

This divine ability allowed him to assume a battle-ready form!

With this divine ability alone, Zhao Jiuxiao had fought all the prodigies of the eastern region without finding a match!

But at that instant,

the dust below burst apart with a roar.

Li Daochen turned his palm and unleashed the Great Yin-Yang Dragon Seal, blasting the spear to pieces.

Then,

bang!

He bent his legs, and the earth cracked and exploded, leaving a massive crater.

Li Daochen soared into the air.

Great Sun White Dragon Sacred Fist!

Great Sun Mountain-Burning Sword!

Ethereal Spirit Dragon Sword

One fist and two sword strikes shook Zhao Jiuxiao head-on.

Both men hung in the air for a brief moment, exchanging more than a hundred blows.

"Bang!"

A shockwave erupted, and both men were sent flying backward.

But in the next instant—

boom!

The two charged at each other again in an instant, battling in all directions.

Golden light blazed in Zhao Jiuxiao's eyes.

"Good, very good. I didn't expect anyone in the eastern region to be able to stand up to my Sacred Physique..." Zhao Jiuxiao's golden hair danced wildly, his manner brazen and overbearing.

"What are you putting on airs for?!" Li Daochen shouted.

Boom!

His sword force shifted: Myriad Saints Purgatory Sword!

Like a war god, Li Daochen dealt heaven-defying damage, blasting Zhao Jiuxiao backward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He smashed through more than a dozen ancient trees in succession before finally coming to a stop after crashing through a mountain.

"Such a divine ability?" Zhao Jiuxiao's golden eyes narrowed as golden flames bathed his body.

Heavenly Firmament Saint Physique!

Entrusting his life to the heavens, the blazing sun shone upon all!

"Kill!" Zhao Jiuxiao drew the war spear wreathed in dragon fish from behind him.

This was the Dragon Fish Hunting War Spear, a half-step saint weapon!

"Boom!"

He swept his spear, and a small mountain beside him shattered.

"Come fight!" he growled.

But at that instant,

Li Daochen had already charged at him.

Boom!

The Azure Emperor Demon-Planting Lotus appeared.

The Azure Emperor possessed the Dao, living through the ages!

A single thought could bring eternal life; a single thought could also sever the spark of life!

Li Daochen took on the bearing of the Azure Emperor and pointed at Zhao Jiuxiao from afar.

Bang!

Zhao Jiuxiao felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His golden flames dimmed, and a crack opened between his brows.

He appeared unhurt, but in truth, he had suffered a grievous injury!

Only then did Zhao Jiuxiao feel shaken.

When had such a monstrous existence appeared in the eastern region...?

He had now unleashed the full might of the Divine Bridge Peak and activated his Sacred Physique, yet Li Daochen still had the upper hand.

"Again!" Zhao Jiuxiao was thoroughly exhilarated.

Li Daochen's eyes were as cold as profound ice. The demon lotus transformed into battle armor that enveloped his entire body.

Fleshly Body Phenomena held endless mysteries and could transform into countless battle arts!

A supreme expert could make heaven and earth collapse with a single Fleshly Body Phenomenon.

Boom!

Li Daochen took a step and vanished in an instant.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Zhao Jiuxiao!

Alongside the Azure Emperor Demon-Planting Lotus, the Sea of Bitterness Demonic Phoenix, which had already transformed into a Fleshly Body Phenomenon, erupted as well.

The mortal world was a vast sea of bitterness!

The demonic phoenix sought transcendence!

"Die!" Li Daochen roared. A sea of bitterness appeared around his fist, and his roar rang out like a phoenix's cry.

Bang... bang, bang, bang!

Before Zhao Jiuxiao's shocked gaze, Li Daochen went berserk, beating him until he coughed up blood again and again and retreated ten thousand zhang.

"Pfft!" Zhao Jiuxiao spat out a mouthful of golden blood.

He growled, "You've made me angry!"

A phenomenon appeared around Zhao Jiuxiao as well.

Dragon Fish Playing in the Sea!

This was the Fleshly Body Phenomenon he had comprehended. An ancient dragon fish swam around him, forming an absolute defense.

"You still have the strength to spout nonsense at me?"

Li Daochen's eyes were fierce and overbearing.

In this battle, he would keep Zhao Jiuxiao pinned down until he died!

Boom!

Li Daochen erupted with power again. His two Fleshly Body Phenomena revolved, the demon lotus seemingly planted in the sea of bitterness as the demonic phoenix circled the Azure Emperor!

Bang!

Zhao Jiuxiao was sent flying backward again.

Li Daochen's two phenomena naturally overwhelmed Zhao Jiuxiao's single one!

"You!" Zhao Jiuxiao was shocked and furious.

Since he had emerged into the world, what peer had ever left him in such a sorry state, suppressing him so completely that he could not even strike back?

And...

Li Daochen was only at the Divine Bridge Fifth Layer!

"You're courting death!" Zhao Jiuxiao let out a long cry.

Bloodline, Sacred Physique, divine abilities, Divine Bridge Peak...

Everything erupted at once as Zhao Jiuxiao unleashed his strongest state.

But...

It was useless!

Before the utterly rampaging Li Daochen, Zhao Jiuxiao could still do nothing but take a beating!

Bang! Bang!

Zhao Jiuxiao smashed straight through two mountains, a thoroughly battered sight.

He stood up, blood flowing from his head and down his cheeks, making him look somewhat ferocious.

"You forced me to do this!" Zhao Jiuxiao growled, and his cultivation realm began to rise.

At the Divine Bridge Peak, the Dragon Gate appeared of its own accord!

At that moment, Zhao Jiuxiao took his first step into the Dragon Gate Realm!

In truth, his foundation had long been sufficient, but he had kept it firmly suppressed, wanting to build an even stronger foundation and even hoping to condense a tenth Divine Bridge!

But now!

Faced with the immense pressure from Li Daochen, he chose to advance!

With a formidable enemy before him, holding back was a path to death!

Zhao Jiuxiao was decisive enough not to be so foolish as to delay any longer.

Besides, if he could not even defeat Li Daochen, what right did he have to go to the Central Land, or to call himself the eastern region's strongest prodigy?

His pride would not allow him to lose here!

Boom!

Zhao Jiuxiao's strength began to soar!

Upon reaching the Dragon Gate Realm, Spiritual Qi became Spiritual Essence, bringing a qualitative leap in strength!

The Divine Bridge and the Dragon Gate were as different as heaven and earth!

Though Zhao Jiuxiao had only just advanced, his foundation was so deep that a considerable amount of Spiritual Essence had already condensed within him.

"Kill!" His momentum surged once more.

But...

Li Daochen's momentum was even more fierce and overbearing.

A dragon's roar rang out within him.

Only now did Li Daochen unleash the power of his physiques!

After refining the Evil Dragon Pearl for a time, he now had ten Holy Dragon Bones and ten Demonic Dragon Bones within him!

In other words, both his Sacred Dragon Physique and Demonic Dragon Physique had reached minor completion!

Two Sacred Physiques at minor completion!

Li Daochen's combat strength had more than doubled!

Two dragons gathered!

A mighty force rose!

What of the Dragon Gate?!

"Watch me break the Dragon Gate with my sword!" Li Daochen shouted.

Boom!

Li Daochen raised his sword and unleashed the Myriad Saints Purgatory Sword. The ten Holy Dragon Bones within him turned into dragon markings that wound around the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

Bang!

The two collided!

Zhao Jiuxiao's brazen, confident expression abruptly froze.

Then,

"How is this possible?!" he growled, even as he was blasted backward!

Even after reaching the Dragon Gate Realm, he was still inferior to Li Daochen in a clash of strength.

Boom!

Li Daochen pursued him relentlessly. Another sword appeared in his hand; though it was only a profound weapon, it could at least be used to fight.

The next moment,

bang!

Monstrous demonic flames rose from the battle sword, and the Demonic Dragon Bones likewise turned into dragon markings that clung to it.

Great Yang! Great Yin!

Myriad saints! Myriad demons!

Today, Li Daochen reversed yin and yang, uniting saint and demon in one body, intent on slaying the Dragon Gate!
