Slaying a Great Sage

Zhou Tong's tribulation has ended.

Since this wasn't a breakthrough to a higher realm, the intensity of the Thunder Tribulation was nothing to him. He shattered the Thunder Tribulation with a punch, then activated the Thunder Emperor Method and swallowed it down in one gulp.

After the million-foot-long lightning bolt was completely refined, Zhou Tong was already standing in front of that Great Sage.

This was a great Great Sage of the God Race, his body enveloped in brilliant divine light, radiating a terrifying aura. His eyebrows were like sharp blades, carrying a dreadful murderous intent.

This is definitely a Great Sage who emerged from slaughter and battle.

"Have you been hunting down prodigies here all these years?" The Great Sage of the God Race looked down at Zhou Tong, his eyes filled with a frenzied Killing Intent. Several prodigies from the God Race had also perished here.

"What difference does it make whether it is or isn't?" Zhou Tong said leisurely. "I've been laying out this plan for five years to lure out the Demon Emperor's Tomb. You've come here to steal my Fortune, so why bother with any excuses? It's nothing more than a battle!"

The Demon Emperor's Tomb!?

The Great Sage God Race the divine race's pupils shrank. This really was an Emperor's Tomb, and a Demon Emperor's at that?

This person actually discovered it very early on and spent five years luring out this great tomb; could it be that all the geniuses who have fallen in recent years were killed because they discovered his actions and were then silenced by him?

This great Great Sage of the divine God Race couldn't help but feel secretly fortunate. If it weren't for his Heavenly Tribulation attracting him, he probably would have left the Star Ruins long ago.

Now, in the entire Star Ruins, he is the only Great Sage present. Such an immense Fortune is rightfully his to have benefited from.

"Haha, today is truly my day of Fortune Qing Ye!! You, a mere Ninth Heaven Saint King, dare to obstruct me? You're courting death!!" The Great Sage Qing Ye of the God Race stood proudly in the arena, his face filled with disdain. He felt that the Demon Emperor's Tomb was already his for the taking, and regarded Zhou Tong as nothing.

In fact, this Great Sage did indeed have the ability to look down on Zhou Tong.

Firstly, he was already a cultivator at the third level of the Great Saint Third Heaven, three realms higher than Zhou Tong, and this included the major realm between the Saint King and the Great Sage. Secondly, he was already one of the Eight Restrictions Prodigies who traversed the Ancient Starry Road a thousand years ago, and was powerful enough in himself.

"The day of Fortune? More like the day of death!" Zhou Tong sneered. As he spoke, he moved, striding forward with the ease and calmness of a dragon. Entering Divine Prohibition State, he possessed a unique aura, unlike someone about to engage in a decisive battle.

After creating his own unique third volume of scripture, Zhou Tong found it much easier to enter the divine forbidden state. He only needed to spend a few breaths adjusting his state, and then try five or six more times to directly enter it.

"Kill!"

As he drew near, Zhou Tong let out a roar, his Killing Intent aura swirling like smoke, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles.

"How dare you! Slash!" Qing Ye Great Sage roared, his right hand grabbing through the air, a divine blade forged from Blue Sea Spirit Gold appeared in his palm, and he slashed towards Zhou Tong, instantly unleashing a blue-green blade light tens of thousands of feet long!

Zhou Tong, however, remained fearless and exuded an aura that seemed to encompass thousands of miles. With his powerful and unrestrained movements, he fully unleashed the Hegemon Fist intent that he had developed, which incorporated the Ten Fiends forces, and forcefully clashed with the blade's edge!

Both fighters were very direct in their attacks. Facing the imminent emergence of the Demon Emperor's Tomb, they had no time to waste. They immediately unleashed their strongest secret techniques, fusing their essence, energy, and spirit, condensing hundreds of moves into a single strike, each aiming to eliminate their opponent instantly.

"Boom!!"

Zhou Tong punched away the vast sword energy that swept across the sky, and then collided heavily with the blade of the Great Sage Qing Ye. The terrifying aura caused the surrounding Void the Great to collapse and continuously Disintegration. In the Void the Great, thousands of great laws and myriad Divine Laws resounded incessantly, clanging and ringing endlessly.

"Kill!!"

The Great Sage Qing Ye roared, fully activating his divine power and laws. Brilliant Order Divine Chains wrapped around the blade, becoming even more dazzling. He was operating an extremely terrifying sword technique, and in an instant, the sword energy surged forth like a vast ocean.

"It has the aura of the Undying Heavenly Emperor's magic!!" Zhou Tong's heart skipped a beat when he saw this sword technique.

What incredible Fortune this Great Sage Qing Ye of the God Race has!

He actually obtained a fragment of a technique left behind by the Undying Heavenly Emperor, and based on this, he further deduced and evolved a technique that was unique to him.

"Boom!"

Countless blades of light surged forth, engulfing heaven and earth. Their intense blue-green hues were terrifying beyond compare, as if they were about to cleave the sky in two!

Faced with this attack, Zhou Tong took a deep breath, still clenching his Hegemon Fist tightly, and met the blue-green divine blade head-on!

At the same time, the three great secret realms within his body— the Wheel Sea, the Dao Palace, and the Four Extremes —instantly lit up, emitting the sounds of the Great Dao. Leiming within his body, and his blood surged like a great river or a vast ocean, deafeningly loud.

"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"...

With seven consecutive strikes, Zhou Tong's seven fists all landed on Qing Ye Great Sage's divine blade, directly clashing with the opponent's proud blade technique.

The next instant, the two separated, their Divine Form passing each other.

Zhou Tong stood calmly and composed, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. This exchange made him see the possibility of further improving his Hegemon Fist.

On the other hand, the Great Sage Qing Ye had an extremely solemn expression. He looked back and was deeply shocked.

My opponent is merely a Saint King, so why did this head-on confrontation end like this? I went all out, yet I couldn't defeat him.

"Ah, I don't believe it! A mere Saint King can actually fight me?!" Great Sage Qing Ye couldn't accept what he was seeing. He activated the ancient scripture, wielded the divine blade, and a dazzling phenomenon appeared around him. His entire body lit up instantly, and he poured all his power into this single strike.

"Clang!!"

This strike was beyond everyone's imagination. The brilliant blade light became Eternal Ancient Star, cleaving through the Void the Great, revealing darkness that devoured everything.

This strike transitioned from dazzling brilliance to pitch-black darkness, a truly astonishing display, as if Heaven had been pierced and the abyss of Hell had been revealed! The blade's energy soared into the sky, like a reversed Star River, its chilling Killing Intent shaking the vast cosmos.

Zhou Tong continued to throw punches, Hegemon Fist fist intent of his Overlord Fist reached a new level, overwhelming the sky and shaking the starry sky.

His fist intent was invincible, connecting heaven and earth, resonating with Zhou Tong's bloodline, causing his flesh and blood to boil. Purple Qi stretched for billions of miles, and smoke billowed across the sky. His blood surged, and his fighting spirit soared to the heavens.

Sword and fist, this is the ultimate duel, containing the extreme combat power of the two, to determine the winner!

"Boom!"

The dazzling attack exceeded everyone's expectations. Mars flew everywhere, the laws of nature Illusionary Destruction, and the Order Divine Chains poured down from the sky like a waterfall—too many and too dense.

"Puff!"

However, after the attack, the Great Sage Qing Ye looked terrified, coughed up blood, and his entire body was cracked and almost torn to pieces. He was sent flying, a sight that shocked everyone watching from afar.

Whether they were watching from afar in the Ruins City or were cultivators rushing over hoping to get a share of the spoils from the Demon Emperor's Tomb, everyone was petrified.

An invincible Great Sage of the God Race was actually defeated, defeated by a Saint King, and suffered a severe injury.

At the same time, Zhou Tong used the Kunpeng Method and the Nine Secrets: Xing, transforming into a beam of light and rushing over at lightning speed, intending to kill Qing Ye Great Sage on the spot.

The Great Sage Qing Ye roared, exerting all his strength and Divine Laws, even burning his own life essence, to fight against Zhou Tong's heavy punch. He did not want to die so humiliatingly at the hands of a junior whose cultivation was inferior to his own, nor did he want to become a source of pride for a junior.

However, it was all in vain. Already severely injured, he was powerless to withstand Zhou Tong's further enhanced Hegemon Fist.

"Boom!!"

Qing Ye Great Sage fought desperately, but Zhou Tong's Hegemon Fist was too vast, like a Star Scripture falling from the sky, breaking both of his arms and causing him to spit out blood.

"Ah..."

The Great Sage Qing Ye screamed in agony, but his screams were already drowned out. Zhou Tong's Hegemon Fist resonated with the Great Dao, shattering the Void the Great with endless Wind and Thunder and thunder, and arrived in front of him.

"Puff!"

The hands of the Great Sage Qing Ye were shattered by the blow, and the domineering fist intent, along with wisps of purple ripples, spread further, shattering his arms, shoulders, and finally his entire body.

However, it was not over yet. Two dragon-shaped beams of light shot out from Zhou Tong's eyes and struck the shattered body of the Great Sage Qing Ye.

"Nine Slashes of the Demon Emperor... Transformation into the Dao!"

This attack completely shattered the Great Sage's physical body, and the scattered blood mist emitted a hazy glow.

In that instant, the physical body and primordial spirit of the Great Sage Qing Ye entered the realm of transformation.

The transformation of a Great Sage into a Daoist being was incredibly terrifying, causing the Void the Great to tremble violently. Then, a pair of stone gates tens of thousands of feet high appeared there, wide open.
