Frenzied Battle

On one side are gods and demons born from Zhou Tong's blood and Killing Intent, and on the other side is Zhou Tong himself.

The two sides collided suddenly.

"Boom!"

Amidst the most terrifying light, a horrific confrontation erupted. Fragments of laws flew everywhere, and the Order Divine Chains pierced through all obstacles, colliding here and forming an extremely terrifying storm.

In an instant, blood splattered, chaos erupted, and the most intense and terrifying collision occurred.

As the light faded and the laws vanished, the one-horned Demon God, its body stained with blood, staggered backward. A horrific wound pierced its chest; in that brief exchange, it had been severely injured.

"The god and demon have been defeated... The same physical body, the same magical power, only their paths are different. This god and demon's path was shattered by him in an instant." Ji Zi, who was standing to the side, saw it clearly. It was obvious that the god and demon's path was no match for Zhou Tong's path.

"Is this Dao, filled with endless fighting spirit and incredibly powerful attack, his Forbidden Domain?" Ji Zi silently compared the Dao that Zhou Tong used with the strongest move he had learned. In the end, he regretfully discovered that even if he used the strongest secret technique in the Void Scripture, he would definitely not be able to defeat this technique in a head-on collision.

Can the path he pioneered truly rival his father's? He hasn't even truly become Quasi-Emperor yet!

The more Himeko thought about this, the more shocked Ji Zi became.

"As expected, the Imperial Son's advantage weakens as time goes on..." Ji Zi felt a strange emotion.

In the early stages, the Imperial Son has an almost unparalleled advantage, but in the later stages, this advantage can be caught up by others. In fact, when the prince reaches the Quasi-Emperor stage or the Dao-proving stage, this advantage is very likely to turn into a disadvantage.

However, the changes at the center of the battlefield interrupted Ji Zi's thoughts.

"Boom!!"

A ball of flame rose from within the god-demon's body, overflowing from its surface and enveloping its form, making it look like a Phoenix reborn from the Rebirth by Fire.

This is the effect of the Immortal Phoenix Mystery inherent in Zhou Tong's Essence Blood. After his physical body became an Emperor, Zhou Tong had already analyzed the deepest mysteries in his own blood, which contained the Immortal Phoenix Dao. The most magical aspect of this Dao is that it can undergo Nirvana and be reborn from the brink of death.

Of course, this god-demon did not understand the Immortal Phoenix Method. He was merely relying on the passive recovery ability of the Immortal Phoenix Mystery inherent in Zhou Tong's drop of Essence Blood, which was far inferior to Zhou Tong's own recovery speed.

Faintly, a clear phoenix cry could be heard, and countless Order Divine Chains flew out from the body of the god and demon, transforming into Phoenix that overlapped with the figure of the god and demon, helping it to heal its wounds.

In an instant, the penetrating wound in the chest of this god-demon was completely healed.

"Kill!!"

After recovering from its injuries, the demon god roared a killing sound, and the world shook violently. Crimson ripples, like huge waves, crashed down one after another, which could be clearly seen.

"Truly worthy of being my Essence Blood, this passive recovery ability is already close to that of the Heavenly Emperor Son!" Zhou Tong exclaimed in admiration. "However, the Divine Demon Dao is still lacking. Let's fight!"

Zhou Tong also roared out a battle cry, but this Dao Sound was not some kind of supernatural power or magic technique. Instead, it was a divine sound of the Great Dao, enhanced by his own Forbidden Domain, containing Zhou Tong's own essence, energy, and spirit.

This roar, like a thunderclap, instantly shattered the crimson ripples, and an extremely terrifying sound wave blasted into the ears of this god-demon.

"Boom!"

Its body trembled, its veins bulged, and blood flowed from its mouth and nose.

"Roar!" The god-demon roared again and pounced forward, its body engulfed in Blood Flame, making it appear even more demonic.

Zhou Tong attacked simultaneously, swift as lightning, wielding his Dao and launching a fierce assault on his opponent.

"Boom!!"

As the two clashed, countless streams of blood were quickly seen erupting alongside streaks of Blood Flame —the power of this god-demon, which was being completely suppressed by Zhou Tong.

Ji Zi was standing to the side, could hear the god and demon roaring like madmen, and could also see the purple and blood-red chains of Order Divine Chains dancing wildly on Zhou Tong's body.

"Boom!"

When the final, deafening roar resounded, all the Blood Flame dissipated, leaving only Zhou Tong's Dao Body in the arena. The demon god had been blasted apart by Zhou Tong, leaving only a drop of its most primordial Essence Blood suspended in the Void the Great.

This is the Essence Blood of Zhou Tong that evolved into this god-demon.

"Brush!"

This drop of Essence Blood transformed directly into a stream of light and returned to Zhou Tong's body.

With his Essence Blood returning to his body, Zhou Tong immediately retrieved the Lingbao Array Diagram, sat down cross-legged, and quietly recovered his divine power while carefully studying what he had gained from this battle.

"He won..." Ji Zi looked at Zhou Tong with an increasingly complicated expression.

At this moment, Zhou Tong sat down cross-legged, very quiet, surrounded by a dazzling Divine Ring, like a god statue, solemn and dignified; this state of extreme stillness was the complete opposite of the frenzy of the previous battle.

Just by looking at him sitting cross-legged in enlightenment, one would never imagine that he is a cultivator who has embarked on the Battle Immortal Path.

Seven days later, Zhou Tong suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and a vast and unfathomable blood energy surged forth. He pointed his finger, and three drops of Essence Blood flew out from his body. Meanwhile, in the God-Demon Ridge outside, three divine demon runes quickly merged with these three drops of Essence Blood.

At the same time, the Lingbao Array Diagram unfolded once again, transforming into a battlefield large enough to accommodate Zhou Tong's great battle.

"Boom!!"

Accompanied by an incomparably terrifying imperial might, the three gods and demons slowly took shape, releasing earth-shattering killing intent.

"This time it's three." Ji Zi sighed softly.

The moment these three gods and demons appeared, they roared and shattered mountains and rivers, Annihilation the Void the Great, and unleashed countless divine powers to attack Zhou Tong, resulting in an earth-shattering battle.

In the end, Zhou Tong emerged disheveled, covered in wounds, with blood even in his hair, staggering as he fought his way out. The three gods and demons were forcefully annihilated by Zhou Tong, transforming back into three drops of Essence Blood that returned to his body.

He retrieved the Lingbao Array Diagram, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to re-examine the gains from the previous battle, further refining his own Great Dao.

Zhou Tong could easily defeat one god or demon; however, with three gods or demons supporting each other, the difficulty increased by an order of magnitude. Even for Zhou Tong, it would be a great battle to defeat these three gods and demons.

But the gains were also enormous. This battle made Zhou Tong see more clearly some flaws in his own Dao and further improve his Forbidden Domain.

This time, Zhou Tong sat cross-legged for a full half month before getting up again, resurrecting the gods and demons once more, and unfolding the Lingbao Array Diagram to transform it into a battlefield. This time, he directly resurrected five gods and demons to engage in the most dangerous battle.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering battle erupted once again. Zhou Tong unleashed all his skills in a fierce battle against the five gods and demons, improving his abilities and perfecting his Forbidden Domain in the process.

Ji Zi, standing to the side, fell silent, sighing inwardly. Zhou Tong was too strong, far more powerful than him!

After the battle on the Second Layer of Immortal Platform, he was still somewhat unconvinced, believing that his true strength came after Dao Severing, and that Zhou Tong would most likely be no match for him in the future battle.

Even when facing the Life Ancient Tree, Ji Zi thought that Zhou Tong's cultivation speed was too fast, and that in a battle between equals, his combat power would probably be somewhat inferior to hers.

But now, after witnessing everything Zhou Tong did to break through, he was convinced that Zhou Tong truly possessed an invincible spirit; and after observing Zhou Tong's great battle with these gods and demons, he was even more convinced that Zhou Tong had reached an extreme and had displayed an invincible aura on the Emperor's Path.

He even vaguely sensed that he saw some of his father's traits in Zhou Tong...

Looking back at Zhou Tong now, he seemed to see an Supreme Great Emperor rising like the Sun Emperor.
