Facing the Golden Crow King Head-On

"Enough!"

A loud shout shook the heavens and earth, and Zhou Tong's purple hand that was suppressing the Daoist Chi Yang collapsed with a crash.

A man resembling Demon God manifested from the sky. Unlike the others, he made no attempt to conceal himself, with long, flowing golden hair and an imposing aura. The Golden Crow King had finally emerged.

Zhou Tong still didn't look at him, but listened quietly to Yan Yixi's last words of insight and reflection.

He then said, "Brother Yan's path of Six Desires Red Dust Heart Refining has benefited me greatly. I would also like to present Brother Yan with a scripture as a token of my gratitude!"

As they were talking, Zhou Tong handed a piece of jade to Yan Yixi.

Yan Yixi immediately noticed the two largest characters on the jade tablet—"Dao Scripture"—and was startled. "Brother Zhou, this..."

Zhou Tong laughed and said, "Brother Yan, please accept it. However, there are too many vulgar people today, so it is no longer a good time for us to discuss the Dao." As he spoke, Zhou Tong stood up and looked at the Golden Crow Clan outside the teahouse.

Yan Yixi took a deep breath and said, "Brother Zhou, you have treated me with sincerity, and today I am willing to work with you together..."

However, before Yan Yixi could finish speaking, Zhou Tong interrupted her, saying directly, "It was not my intention to involve you in this matter. If there is an opportunity in the future, let's have a drink together again!"

Without waiting for Yan Yixi to speak, he decisively took out a platform engraved with the Void Great Emperor's Chessboard Array Patterns, instantly breaking through the Void the Great and sending Yan Yixi away.

"What!!"

Everyone outside the teahouse was shocked. They had already sealed off the Void the Great, yet the other party could still send people away across the Void the Great at will? Didn't this mean that their encirclement had been useless from the start?

"Another Great Emperor Array Patterns ..." Yi Qingwu, standing to the side, was already used to it and numb to it. This Zhou Tong was truly unfathomable. Heaven knows how many trump cards he had up his sleeve.

After seeing Yan Yixi off, Zhou Tong turned around and looked out of the teahouse.

He looked at the Golden Crow King with a mocking smile, "Just a mere Golden Crow, what are you pretending to be? Among those of the same level, none of your Golden Crow Clan can match me, not even one or two of my moves!"

"You think you can compete with me on equal footing? Who do you think you are? Only if the true Imperial Son of your Golden Crow Huosang Star were to make a move would there be a sliver of a chance. You are too weak..."

Zhou Tong looked down on him with an arrogant expression, completely disregarding the Golden Crow King.

Of all the Golden Crow Clan in the entire universe, only the group of Golden Crow on Huosang Star is worthy of my attention.

If we must compare their combat strength, only the Golden Crow Great Emperor in his youth could rival or even fight him now; his descendants are still somewhat lacking!

Golden Crow King's pupils contracted. The other party actually knew about Huosang Star?

He knew that the Golden Crow Clan came from Huosang Star, but how did this person know that? Moreover, how could someone who was merely at the Second Layer of Immortal Platform know about another star region?

"You cannot be allowed to live!!" Golden Crow King, his face contorted with rage, his golden hair disheveled, slowly approached, causing the sky to tremble with each step, like a Demon God.

"I've been wanting to test what Great Accomplishment King is all about! This isn't the place to fight, follow me!" Zhou Tong casually put away the seal on Yi Qingwu beside him and flew directly out of Fuyang City.

"Fight me? You're not qualified! You've been hopping around like a little bug long enough, I'll crush you!" The Golden Crow King casually grabbed, his golden hand Shrouding the Heavens, completely disregarding Zhou Tong, wanting to crush him as easily as he would a little bug.

However--

"Boom!!"

With a loud bang, a mysterious halo reappeared, and Zhou Tong instantly unleashed king-level combat power, shattering the Golden Crow King's casual attack with a single punch, and transforming into a streak of purple light that flew out of Fuyang City.

"What? He asked what could unleash the divine might of a king?"

"He is clearly just a cultivator at the ninth level of the Immortal Second Layer Ninth Heaven. Could it be that he has already Dao Severing and has simply been sealing his aura?"

This greatly surprised the Golden Crow King, as well as the other sect Sect Master. No one had anticipated that this person would display such kingly might.

"Is it the Vajra Ring?" Pang Bo wondered.

"It must be the Vajra Ring. Zhou Tong's Vajra Ring is too mysterious. It's like his clone, completely at his command. I've never seen a Saint Weapon with such power. It doesn't need to be resurrected by divine power; it's always been alive!" Ye Fan was deeply shocked.

"Do you think... such a Saint Weapon can cultivate on its own? Or even attain enlightenment on its own in the future?" Zi Xia suddenly uttered a piece of news that sent chills down Ye Fan and Pang Bo's spines.

"No... that can't be!" Pang Bo was somewhat horrified. If even weapons could prove their Dao, then wouldn't those Quasi-Emperor Weapon be the closest thing to the Great Emperor?

"Not necessarily!"

Suddenly, a terrifying thought crossed Ye Fan's mind, "Pang Bo, do you remember how many colors Zhou Tong's Vajra Ring was?"

"It seemed to have four colors at first, but now it seems to have seven colors? Are you saying that the reason why Little Tyrant wanted to collect so many Immortal Material was for this Vajra Ring? Does he want to cultivate a weapon that is enough to prove his Dao?" Pang Bo exclaimed.

Ye Fan nodded. "Zhou Tong has been doing his best to collect Immortal Material, even at the cost of making enemies of all the holy lands in the entire Big Dipper. He must know a lot about Immortal Material... Because of him, I also specifically investigated things like Immortal Metal."

"What did you find out?" Pang Bo asked.

"The legend that Immortal Metal Planting Method can be mixed together to forge Immortal Artifact! Who spread this rumor? Could it be that someone has already collected Immortal Metal Planting Method and successfully forged Immortal Artifact?" Ye Fan's expression was solemn. "Even Zhou Tong was able to collect so many Immortal Material, so I think it must be even easier for those Great Emperor to collect Immortal Material."

"Could it be that even those Great Emperor didn't gather Immortal Metal Planting Method to forge Immortal Artifact? So I think the legend that mixing Immortal Metal Planting Method together can create Immortal Artifact is either false, or there's something else going on..."

A hint of astonishment appeared in Purple Haze Fairy's eyes. "If this is true, then the real secret is probably the legendary Immortal Gold Profound Meaning?"

"That's right. Based on my deduction, Zhou Tong has most likely mastered the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning. The reason why this Vajra Ring is so wondrous is probably because of the legendary Immortal Gold Profound Meaning." Ye Fan became more and more certain, and he was almost certain that Zhou Tong had mastered the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning.

"Immortal Metal Planting Method has he mastered?" Pang Bo, somewhat puzzled.

"If the legend is true, then to forge Immortal Artifact, one must master the mysteries of the nine Immortal Metal. I don't know who in history has mastered such mysteries, but this is the only method I can think of that can achieve the legendary feat!"

"Although I don't know exactly how many Immortal Metal Planting Method mysteries Zhou Tong has mastered, I am certain that he has mastered the mysteries of Phoenix Blood Red Gold!" Ye Fan's expression grew increasingly solemn. "Moreover, that kind of mystery is definitely related to the Immortal Fire of the Fire Domain."

Looking back, Ye Fan realized that many of Zhou Tong's abilities could be connected with the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning, such as his healing methods and the flames that resembled Immortal Phoenix when he was in the Fire Domain!

"Don't think too much about it. Little Tyrant is going to face off against Golden Crow King. I wonder if he will directly unleash the holy might of the Vajra Ring!" Pang Bo didn't think too much about it. He immediately flew over to see the battle.

"Based on my understanding of him, Zhou Tong most likely won't directly display the holy might of the Vajra Ring... At most, he'll elevate him to the level of Great Accomplishment King, on par with the Golden Crow King! With the Vajra Ring, a being comparable to Great Sage, as a safety net, he'll definitely hone himself using the Golden Crow King!" Ye Fan already knew Zhou Tong quite well.

"Then Zhou Tong will have a tough time in this battle!" Purple Haze Fairy said softly. "Although Zhou Tong is at the Eight Restrictions, he has been suddenly promoted to the Great Accomplishment King level. Whether it's his understanding of the Great Dao or anything else, he is still only at the Great Power level. He has definitely fallen below the Eight Restrictions!"

"As the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, although his physical strength may even be above that of the Great Accomplishment King Golden Crow King, once he suddenly crosses a complete major realm, the advantages of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body will be completely lost."

"Let's see how much of his strength he can retain!" Ye Fan was also very interested; this was a rare opportunity to get a feel for Zhou Tong.

"Even if he only retains the combat power of the first forbidden level, it is still heaven-defying; because once he Dao Severing, he can probably soar to an unimaginable realm, which is definitely not comparable to those who have just entered the King realm! The deeper the accumulation of the Immortal Second Layer Ninth Heaven Realm, the more likely one can fly several levels after Dao Severing!" Purple Haze Fairy sighed softly.

"If I'm not mistaken, he's probably already one foot in the Dao Severing Realm. This challenge against the Golden Crow King is just a test of his King Realm and King's divine might. He might even be using the Golden Crow King to cultivate some secret technique to accumulate a deeper foundation for himself. Once he Dao Severing... it's unimaginable."

"Cultivation secret technique... Could it be that he wants to use the power of the Golden Crow King to refine his body?" Ye Fan frowned, and couldn't help but be shocked by his own guess.

If it's truly for body refinement, he probably possesses an extremely powerful body refinement method, and the cultivation process of this method might even be somewhat cruel.
