Whetstone

"War!!"

Zhou Tong's battle cry once again resounded through the starry sky. He charged forward, still simply throwing a punch. The Ten Fiend Immortal Blades condensed into one once more, and a pair of purple fists carrying countless strands of Dao light pressed down.

"Snap!"

The other stone arm of Great Sage Sheng Duo collapsed instantly upon impact.

"You!"

The Great Sage Sheng Duo filled with grief and indignation. This was absolutely Forbidden Domain, and he had already fallen into a disadvantageous position the moment they collided, unable to resist the extremely terrifying attack power at all.

He felt that at the moment of impact, the opponent's attack power was incredibly strong, reaching an unimaginable extreme.

"Damn it, where are our people? Where are the people of the Light Clan? Didn't we agree that we would activate the Spirit Refining Pot to deal with him the moment we discovered the Human's Hegemon Body? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Great Sage Sheng Duo was already in despair. He had placed all his hopes on the reinforcements he had summoned for this battle.

"Try this again!"

Zhou Tong pointed his fingers like a sword, once again activating the Forbidden Domain he had comprehended. The immortal blade condensed at his fingertips, and then a brilliant divine light flashed as Zhou Tong swept his sword horizontally.

The Great Sage Sheng Duo's face turned pale, and he quickly dodged.

However, it was all in vain. Although he tried his best to avoid Zhou Tong's sword, he could not avoid Zhou Tong's next attack.

Having gained a preliminary understanding of the Forbidden Domain, Zhou Tong possessed extremely fierce combat power. At this moment, he unleashed his full power, fully testing the Forbidden Domain he had comprehended.

This is an unimaginable power, the supreme way of conquest.

Centered on the power of the Hegemon Fist, it integrates all the Ten Fiend Immortal Blades emanating from the Heaven Slaying Dao, ultimately forming an extremely terrifying power. Its power remains undiminished whether used in fists, feet, or weapons.

This is a Forbidden Domain is not limited to fists, palms, legs, fingers, claws, knives, spears, halberds, or staffs. Wielding a sword is an unparalleled sword light, swinging a saber is a fierce saber aura, and throwing a punch is an invincible fist intent; it can even be transformed into arrows and shot out with a bow!

Through repeated trials, Zhou Tong gained countless insights, realizing that his Forbidden Domain still had much room for improvement and was on the path to perfection.

"Puff!"

Finally, during Zhou Tong's relentless experimentation, the Great Sage Sheng Duo was kicked, screamed in agony, and his body exploded. He roared, and his only remaining head tried to escape, which Zhou Tong naturally gave chase.

However, just as Zhou Tong was preparing to completely annihilate the Great Sage Sheng Duo, a change occurred deep within the starry sky.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the heavens and earth trembled, the starry sky shattered, and a suffocating pressure appeared. Blood trickled from the corner of Daoist Qinghuang's mouth as he was sent flying. In his battle against Ao Mang, the peak Great Sage Ao Mang of the Holy Spirit Lineage, Great Sage Qinghuang had been utterly defeated.

"The Holy Spirit is invincible! Humans, you are no match for us! You cannot stop the footsteps of the Holy Spirit!!" Ao Mang's majestic voice resounded through the sky.

The Holy Spirit blood within him resounded like Leiming through the starry sky, causing Myriad Heavens to resonate.

This is an invincible Holy Spirit, standing at the pinnacle of the Great Sage. If he were to take another step forward, the heavens and the earth would collapse. He stands proudly in the sky, like a celestial Heavenly Deity, overlooking the starry heavens.

"Big brother, save me!!"

However, before Ao Mang could finish showing off, Great Sage Sheng Duo's cry for help suddenly resounded throughout the starry sky.

Ao Mang turned his head to look at Zhou Tong and Great Sage Sheng Duo.

Zhou Tong had already caught up with the Great Sage Sheng Duo and was stepping on his only head.

Seeing Ao Mang looking over, Zhou Tong turned his head and smiled slightly, "I've heard that the Holy Spirit is invincible?"

With a single stomp, the entire stone skull shattered, its divine blood splattering in all directions.

The Great Sage Sheng Duo has completely disappeared from the world and has been erased from the name!

"Zhou Tong, it's you? You actually came back here!" The Great Sage Qinghuang looked at Zhou Tong with some surprise.

He had clearly already entered the path ahead, so how did he suddenly appear here?

However, despite the surprise, the Great Sage Qinghuang couldn't help but feel a little alarmed.

He hadn't even broken through to the Great Sage yet, but he directly killed a Great Sage from the Holy Spirit Lineage. His combat power was simply terrifying.

You must know that this is the Holy Spirit Lineage, the Holy Spirit Lineage who has received the blessings of High Heaven.

This lineage was an invincible symbol in the Ancient Starry Road, with few among its peers able to rival it; yet now it has been forcefully defeated by someone so many realms above it.

"I killed Fire Spirit Cang Yan, so I naturally know some of the Holy Spirit Clan's plans. This is a good opportunity to hone my skills! The Holy Spirit Lineage's stones are all quite good, top-quality whetstones, but unfortunately, the one I just used has already broken!" Zhou Tong did not hide anything and answered directly, his words filled with contempt for the Holy Spirit Lineage.

He directly referred to the Stone Man of the Holy Spirit Lineage as a whetstone, which was a complete disregard for Ao Mang, who was not far away.

"Haha, with the body of Saint King, you have reversed the slaying of Great Sage- level Holy Spirit. In this Lifetime, you are invincible. No one among your peers can compete with you, whether it is the Human Ancient Road or other ancient paths!" Great Sage Qinghuang couldn't help but laugh.

"Humans, you're courting death!!" High in the sky, the Holy Spirit named Ao Mang said coldly, but a Killing Intent permeated the air as it rushed towards Zhou Tong, chilling him to the bone.

At this moment, the Great Sage Qinghuang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood directly in front of Zhou Tong, shielding him from the Killing Intent of the Sacred Spirit Ao Mang.

"Zhou Tong, you go back to the Tenth City first. There's likely still something going on there, and you might need your Azure Emperor Weapon to suppress it. Leave this place to me," the Great Sage Qinghuang transmitted to Zhou Tong. "I have a rough idea of what the Holy Spirit Lineage wants to do..."

In the midst of the telepathic communication, he had already moved forward. Even though the Great Sage Qinghuang was no match for him, he did not retreat at all. Instead, holding a battle spear, he ascended to the sky step by step, heading back towards the Sacred Spirit Ao Mang, wanting to continue the battle.

"They simply want the treasure passed down by the Holy Spirit that was sealed by the Dao Venerable." Zhou Tong's figure flashed, and he was already standing in front of the Great Sage Qinghuang. "We've finally found an even better whetstone. Senior, please go back and take charge of the Tenth City!"

Just as the Great Sage Qinghuang was about to speak, his expression changed slightly in the next instant. A hazy blue light emerged from Zhou Tong's palm and finally transformed into a Azure Lotus, radiating a terrifying imperial aura.

A hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the Sacred Spirit Ao Mang opposite him, and he also quietly retreated a distance.

He was only a Great Sage, and could not withstand the sharpness of the Azure Emperor Weapon at all.

"Azure Emperor Weapon!!" The Great Sage Qinghuang suddenly looked at Zhou Tong. Why was he taking out the Azure Emperor Weapon at this moment?

However, just as the Great Sage Qinghuang was surprised, Zhou Tong casually waved his hand, and the Azure Emperor Weapon floated to the Great Sage Qinghuang's side. "Senior, if I am not mistaken, perhaps the attackers this time have Imperial Weapon in their hands."

The fact that no Imperial Weapon came to his aid during his battle with the Great Sage Sheng Duo, despite his immense power, suggests two things. First, he was wrong; the Holy Spirit Lineage might not have considered his existence and the Azure Emperor Weapon. Second, the person wielding the Imperial Weapon was not of one mind with the Holy Spirit Lineage and wanted to take advantage of the Holy Spirit Lineage to weaken them and seize the treasure for themselves.

"I'll lend you the Chaos Green Lotus for now to hold off this for a while. I'll be back after I've dealt with this Stone Man!"

"Then how could you..." The Great Sage Qinghuang was about to say something when he was suddenly shocked and couldn't say anything more.

A dazzling Divine Ring, as bright as the sun, silently appeared around Zhou Tong. The Dao Body at the center was extremely imposing, possessing an unimaginable and terrifying power.

"Good! Good! Good!!"

The Great Sage Qinghuang said "good" three times in succession, and immediately put away the Azure Emperor Weapon. His voice carried a trace of vicissitudes as he said, "It seems I really am getting old. I actually misjudged you. I didn't expect you to have reached such a realm. Amazing, amazing!"

"This whetstone is yours!"

Without saying a word, the Great Sage Qinghuang turned and left.
