The Fall Guy

Zhou Tong simultaneously unleashed the Kunpeng Method and the Nine Secrets: Xing, his speed was terrifying.

With a single sword strike, he pressed down on the Heavenly Emperor Son, almost transforming into a beam of light. In an instant, he covered tens of thousands of miles and arrived above a deserted mountain range. Zhou Tong shook his palm, and the Heavenly Emperor Son was sent flying.

"Boom!!"

The Heavenly Emperor Son's body slammed heavily against the rocks, and an incredibly terrifying force rippled outwards, causing the entire mountain range to surge and undulate like a raging sea. In an instant, all the peaks stretching for hundreds of miles seemed to have been cleaved in two by an unparalleled divine sword.

"Puff!!"

The Heavenly Emperor Son lay at the bottom of the rocks like a dead dog, his handsome face completely distorted, his bones broken all over his body, and five-colored divine blood flowing all over the ground, unable to move.

"Impossible... Your combat power can't possibly be that strong!" The Heavenly Emperor Son looked with difficulty at Zhou Tong, who had descended before him like a god.

"Impossible?" Zhou Tong laughed.

"Even if my Dao Body sealed my cultivation level to the same level as yours, you still couldn't defeat me. Now that my true form from the Ninth Heaven has come to find you in person, do you think you can still survive?" Zhou Tong casually grabbed the Heavenly Emperor Son's Heavenly Blade, which fell into his hand.

"Your Laozi really treated you well, with the Heavenly Blade forged from Radiant White Gold. It's a pity his Imperial Weapon is protecting your brother and he doesn't have time for you!" Zhou Tong held the Heavenly Blade and patted the Heavenly Emperor Son's cheek with the back of the blade.

As he spoke, Zhou Tong explored the secret realm within the Heavenly Emperor Son's body, pulling out all his treasures one by one.

For example, a shield-like Saint Weapon; Immortal Divine Liquid for healing; a talisman crafted by the Undying Heavenly Emperor; a pendant made from the heartwood of the Enlightenment Tea Tree ...

The Heavenly Emperor Son's eyes were blazing with fury. Zhou Tong treated him like a treasure, repeatedly extracting divine objects from his body. He tried to resist, but he couldn't break free.

"Speaking of which, I've seen countless ancient scriptures, but I still don't know what your Laozi's scriptures look like!" Zhou Tong said leisurely.

He obtained countless scriptures from countless Immortal Divine Medicine, but what he regretted most was that he had not seen the scriptures of the Undying Heavenly Emperor. The Undying Heavenly Emperor transmitted his scriptures through divine sense, so Immortal Divine Phoenix Medicine did not know what the Undying Heavenly Emperor's scriptures looked like.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Vajra Ring flew out and shattered the Heavenly Blade, then he collected it into the bracelet and slowly refined it.

This Undying Heavenly Blade consumed a full three million catties of Radiant White Gold, and even a small fragment at the tip was enough to add another color to the Vajra Ring. The remaining fragments of the blade, once the Dao Pattern were refined, could be used as new materials to be integrated into the Hegemonic Bell later.

Then, the seven-colored celestial radiance descended, slicing open the Heavenly Emperor Son's son's brow like a blade, intending to absorb his primordial spirit.

"No! You... you can't kill me! I can buy my life with celestial treasures. My father left me an Enlightenment Tea Tree. I'll use it to buy my life!" The Heavenly Emperor Son's primordial spirit said in a trembling voice, filled with resentment and despair.

If it were just Zhou Tong searching the soul, the Heavenly Emperor Son was prepared to burn his primordial spirit to resist; but when the Vajra Ring, this Great Sage Weapon, appeared, the Heavenly Emperor Son was immediately shocked.

He had only ever seen such a living weapon on the real, Undying Heavenly Blade in his father's hands.

He knew that once the Vajra Ring was revealed, he would have no chance of escaping; all the scriptures and secret techniques would be exposed.

"Enlightenment Tea Tree? Is this what you mean?" Zhou Tong smiled, took out a branch covered with Enlightenment Tea Leaves, and shook his head in front of the Heavenly Emperor Son.

"You!!!" The Heavenly Emperor Son roared in fury.

"Sorry, I already ransacked your hometown before I caught you!" Zhou Tong smiled and retrieved the branch of the Enlightenment Tea Tree. He then decisively took action, storing the Heavenly Emperor Son's primordial spirit into the Vajra Ring to slowly refine his memories.

After the Heavenly Emperor Son's son's primordial spirit was taken away by the Vajra Ring, his physical body immediately reverted to its original form, which was a Phoenix with five-colored feathers.

It must be said that the Phoenix's vitality is truly tenacious. After the Heavenly Emperor Son's son's primordial spirit was taken away by the Vajra Ring, his body still possessed vitality and was slowly recovering from his injuries.

"The Phoenix ...it's almost exactly the same as the Phoenix I saw at the Immortal Divine Phoenix Medicine. The Undying Heavenly Emperor's real wife is probably also a species extremely close to the Phoenix!" Zhou Tong sighed. "But it's a pity that the Heavenly Emperor Son has become a hothouse flower; his Dao Heart is too weak!"

Shaking his head, Zhou Tong then used his Divine Source to seal the Heavenly Emperor Son's physical body.

A complete Phoenix corpse, and one that is still alive, is a priceless treasure. It might even have other uses in the future.

"Boom!!"

Just then, the heavens and earth suddenly trembled violently, and two beams of immortal light shot into the sky.

Zhou Tong turned to look at the trembling ground. One beam of immortal light was golden, while the other beam was nine-colored. Clearly, the Golden Mace and the Divine Emperor Battle Robe had clashed.

"But with this fight, the Victorious Fighting Buddha should come out to save his wife, right?" Zhou Tong looked towards the battlefield and shook his head.

He wasn't interested in what happened next.

The Victorious Fighting Buddha had already stepped into the Quasi-Emperor stage, and with the Imperial Weapon of the Battle Saint Emperor and Amitabha Buddha in his hands, once he descended Mount Sumeru, no one in the entire Big Dipper except Gai Jiuyou could rival him, and the outcome of the battle would be no surprise.

"Judging by the time, it's about time to embark on the path to the strongest!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.

I have no choice but to leave!

Once the people from Blood Phoenix Mountain, Golden Cave, and Fire Qilin Cave realize that their stronghold has been destroyed, they will probably hunt him down from heaven and earth.

They might even bring their Ancient Emperor Weapon and block the vicinity of the Mysterious Scholar Mansion!

That would be really troublesome. We would probably have to reveal several trump cards to escape from the encirclement and suppression of these Imperial Clan, and we might even have to use up the Array Diagram given by the Sun Sacred Emperor in advance.

"Roar!!"

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the direction of Fire Qilin Cave, shattering the starry sky and causing countless celestial bodies in the heavens to rapidly Rending.

"Oh no, Fire Qilin Cave has discovered something has happened at our old home!" Zhou Tong felt a little guilty and immediately took out the Chessboard Array Patterns.

"Damn you dog demon, you'll die a horrible death!!" The roar of the Great Saint Yan Qi of Fire Qilin Cave echoed throughout the entire Big Dipper.

"Dog demon? What the hell?" Zhou Tong was stunned, and even slowed down his movements to activate the Chessboard Array Patterns.

"Roar!"

At this moment, an extremely angry roar came from the direction of Blood Phoenix Mountain. The entire Big Dipper turned blood red in an instant, and the surging divine power of the Great Sage swept across the sky.

Everyone who looked up could see a pair of scarlet eyes hanging high in the sky, like a cold moon.

Blood Phoenix Mountain also discovered that its lair had been ransacked, and the Great Sage who returned to Blood Phoenix Mountain was furious.

"Tomb raiders, come out here!!"

The terrifying sound waves reverberated throughout the endless land of Big Dipper, echoing endlessly, as if a god was roaring. Countless mortals and cultivators with low cultivation levels knelt down, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

"Tomb raiders?" Zhou Tong was stunned again.

"Tomb raiders and a dog demon? Could it be Fatty Duan and the Big Black Dog?"

Zhou Tong instantly thought of those two scoundrels, and immediately became annoyed. "Damn it... these two bastards are truly the ancestors of swindlers and cheaters, they actually thought of the same thing as me? Luckily I had the first-mover advantage and was more skilled, otherwise all my hard work in planning would have been for nothing!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Tong smiled with relief. Fortunately, he had the upper hand, otherwise the situation would have been reversed and he would have become the scapegoat for those two bastards.

"Big Black Dog and Fatty Duan, you two are really good people, daring to take the blame for this kind of thing..." Zhou Tong silently gave them both a "good guy" card.

"But you deserved it, you damn dog!" Zhou Tong cursed under his breath, recalling the bastard things the Big Black Dog had done.

When the Feathered Divine Dynasty Ancestral Temple, the Big Black Dog took half of his array platform and ran away, taking such a huge advantage of him. He deserves to be blamed now!

"With those two taking the blame, I don't need to rush to leave now. I can postpone it for a few days... I'll use the Undying Heavenly Emperor's blood to refine my body first. Once I embark on the Ancient Starry Road, I may not be able to find a safe place to transform."
