A King's First Battle

They finally succeeded in entering the interior of Purple Mountain.

Duan De jumped up and down, rubbing his hands excitedly, and said, "Those of us in this line of work have been researching a major topic, which is how to conquer the tombs of the Ancient Great Emperor, especially the Tomb of Wu Shi. I was the first to enter this place."

"Have we arrived directly at the deepest part, the place where the Wu Shi the Great passed away?" Zi Xia suddenly asked, looking at a high platform in the distance.

Ye Fan and Duan De looked at that spot at the same time, and immediately felt a chill run down their spines.

There stood a Dao Platform, tall and magnificent, shrouded in chaotic mist, mysterious and terrifying.

A tall figure can be seen sitting cross-legged on it, exuding a chilling aura.

"The Dao Platform of the Wu Shi the Great?" Zhou Tong's eyes lit up with surprise, and he immediately rushed there.

Zhou Tong, who has already awakened the profound meaning of the Divine Mark Purple Gold, will find the complete "Wushi Scripture" as long as he can come to the foot of the Dao Platform of the Wu Shi the Great.

The profound meaning of the * Wushi Scripture * is entirely contained on that Dao Platform.

"Brush!"

But just then, two bolts of lightning suddenly shot out from the mist not far away, illuminating the dim mountainside, and the figure opened its eyes.

"What? Could it be that Wu Shi the Great is still alive?" Duan De exclaimed, feeling a chill run down his spine.

"No!" A glint flashed in Zhou Tong's eyes. His Martial Heavenly Eye had already seen through the mist. Behind the mist was not the Wu Shi the Great at all, but an ancient Ancestor King.

Duan De also instantly realized what was happening, opened his Yin-Yang Heavenly Eye, and saw through the origin.

He jumped up on the spot. "Damn it, it's actually an Primordial Ancestral King, this is a huge problem."

Ye Fan and Zi Xia were also shocked; that was a true Primordial Beings.

The Dao Platform was shrouded in mist, but it could not conceal the aura of the Primordial Ancestral King.

Although it was roughly humanoid, it had twenty-four pairs of wings. It had lost all its hair, its skin was covered in bumps and lumps, and it looked incredibly old, as if it were about to pass away somewhere.

Sitting cross-legged on the Dao Platform, its eyes were terrifying, staring intently at Zhou Tong and his group, like a Demon God, exuding a heavy Killing Intent.

"Don't be afraid, he's going to die. It looks like he's about to pass away and can't deal with us." Duan De encouraged himself.

"Be careful, he probably still has a trace of Saint-level combat power left!" Zhou Tong stopped Ye Fan and the others, and walked forward alone.

"Zhou Tong, what are you doing?" Ye Fan asked in surprise.

"Stop looking. He definitely wants to fight this Ancestor King. He's a monster. He's just a King, yet he wants to challenge a Saint-level Ancestor King. Even though he's Ancestor King who's about to die, he's definitely not someone a King can win against. The barrier of the Saint Realm can only be broken by divine prohibitions." Duan De carefully summoned the Heaven Swallowing Devil Pot to protect himself.

A sage transcends the realm of humanity, hence the title "sage." The transformation from a king to a sage is like a fish leaping to become True Dragon —a fundamental change, a qualitative leap.

Even if a Dao Severing is exceptionally talented, unparalleled throughout history, and possesses the Eight Restrictions, fighting across eight minor realms is useless. They will be suppressed by the "Sacred Domain Barrier," at most barely able to protect themselves, and unable to break through.

"Roar!!"

A deep, demonic howl rang out, and the aged ancient being on the Dao Platform pounced forward, its attack ruthless, unleashing Great Destruction attack from the outset. The overwhelming aura of a saint surged forth like a star field transformed into an ocean.

The pressure was unimaginable.

Who in this world can rival the power of an Primordial Ancestral King?

Although he was old and frail, he was still far superior to the rest of them.

Duan De, Ye Fan, and Zi Xia exclaimed in shock, their souls almost leaving their bodies. A single drop of a saint's Essence Blood could destroy a powerful being; how could anyone withstand such an attack?

"Ugh!!"

As his blood rushed to his head, Zhou Tong's face turned purple. Facing this most terrifying holy might, even he was under immense pressure. If it weren't for the surging three streams of Immortal Qi within his body, he probably would have collapsed under this holy might.

The Sanctuary Barrier is no joke.

Even a Saint at the first level of Heaven with zero restrictions can crush a King at the Ninth Heaven with Eight Restrictions.

After Zhou Tong advanced to the King stage, he no longer had that state of being Permanent Divine Prohibition Realm. Before entering the Divine Forbidden Realm, he could only rely on the three strands of Immortal Qi in his body to barely resist the Holy Domain barrier.

"My Hegemonic Blood is about to boil! Fight!"

Coming to his senses, Zhou Tong's eyes burned like flames.

His fighting spirit surged, his blood and qi soared to the sky, and his clenched fists were like a vast purple ocean, with purple divine light boiling, like a magnificent purple Star River that submerged everything in front of him.

His body transformed into a blazing light, rushing forward to meet the aged Primordial Ancestral King.

"Boom!"

Zhou Tong pressed down with his palm, causing Wind and Thunder to rumble and the world to lose its color. When it collided with the arm of the old and dying Ancestor King, it immediately stirred up a monstrous wave, and the Void the Great collapsed.

The great battle began, erupting in an instant!

Thunder roared like a waterfall, erupting from Zhou Tong's palm and rushing along the colliding arms toward the Primordial Ancestral King, instantly covering him with the runes of the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique and striking him with lightning.

"Awooo!!"

The Primordial Ancestral King roared, his holy might sweeping across the heavens and earth, surging and turbulent like a mighty river. Even more terrifying was the divine light that instantly dispersed the lightning, and the holy-level laws of the Great Dao reverberated in the Void the Great, tearing apart heaven and earth.

"Thunder Sea Waves!" The almost demonic words came, Zhou Tong's hair danced wildly, his entire body was majestic and tall, standing in the sky like a thunder god.

He used the results of his enlightenment over the past few days. Although he hadn't mastered it yet, he could try it out in battle.

The things that are difficult to comprehend through enlightenment can be comprehended in battle!

In the Void the Great, a vast purple ocean surged. Zhou Tong activated the Thunder Emperor's secret technique, and divine lightning filled the sky, falling indiscriminately to suppress and kill the Primordial Ancestral King. Even more terrifying, within this world of thunder, runes that did not belong to the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique appeared. They transformed into True Dragon and Immortal Phoenix, dancing gracefully in the sea of thunder.

"Roar!!"

The Primordial Ancestral King, like Demon God, Annihilation all in his path with thunder and boundless divine light as he charged toward Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong formed a fist seal, unleashing a burst of lightning that collided violently with the surrounding boundless sea of lightning and the Ancestor King.

A series of booming sounds, dozens or even hundreds of clashes, the two attacked with incredible speed, delivering hundreds of blows in the blink of an eye.

Although that Ancestor King was on the verge of death, he was still far beyond what Zhou Tong, who had not yet entered the Divine Forbidden Realm, could compare to. After hundreds of clashes, Zhou Tong's physical body was on the verge of being shattered. The barrier of the Holy Domain was definitely not something that the Eight Restrictions could break.

"Ah! Dragon-Phoenix Resonance!!" In the final battle, Zhou Tong finally forced himself to use the Immortal Phoenix Treasure Art and the True Dragon Treasure Art within the Thunder Emperor Method, unleashing the ultimate mystery of Dragon-Phoenix Resonance in Harmony.

In an instant, the True Dragon roared and the Immortal Phoenix cried.

"Buzz!!"

The dragon and phoenix sang in harmony, and an invincible aura erupted from between the True Dragon and the Immortal Phoenix, as if an incomparably terrifying Deity had awakened. It was incredibly powerful, and endless ripples carrying lightning shattered everything in an instant.

"Puff!"

In an instant, the Ancestor King, who was now old and frail, had both his arms shattered. A long trail of blood burst forth, instantly Obliteration a section of the Void the Great and turning it into a place of transformation, destroying all life.

"A single drop of a saint's blood can slay a powerful being; it's no exaggeration. This much blood is enough to wipe out a whole group!" Duan De was horrified, his scalp tingling.

"Puff!!"

However, on the other side, Zhou Tong's body also cracked open in an instant. Forcibly using power he had not yet mastered caused him to suffer a severe backlash.

"Zhou Tong!!"

Ye Fan exclaimed in shock. This was far too tragic. The physical body was cracked open, which was terrifying. You must know that this is the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body, whose physical body is unparalleled.

However, this also reflects the terrifying nature of the Holy Domain barrier. Even a dying Ancestor King could fight Zhou Tong, who was at full strength, to such an extent.

Without entering the divine realm, even a king is not qualified to fight a saint; Zhou Tong is an exception, as he can put up a fight against even a saint without entering the divine realm.

"Bear!"

As the Divine Fire of the Immortal Phoenix Nirvana appeared, Zhou Tong's cracked body glowed, and countless Order Divine Chains appeared. Then the crack closed, and Zhou Tong reappeared before everyone, completely unharmed.

On the other side, the dying Ancestor King was engulfed in flames, letting out a low roar as he charged forward to finish off Zhou Tong.

"Boom!"

However, in an instant, this Primordial Ancestral King shattered, without any blood or bone fragments scattering, but instead transformed into a beam of light and vanished into the air.

Transformation!

This Primordial Ancestral King had already reached his limit, and the battle with Zhou Tong had completely exhausted his last bit of lifespan, causing him to die on the spot.
