Invincible Defense

There was a minor issue with the last sentence of the previous chapter. Old Man Huo guaranteed that Zhang Xingfeng would be able to advance from the early stage of Immortal Monarch to the early stage of Immortal Emperor within a hundred years! Not the late stage of Immortal Emperor.

"Yes, Xingfeng, you can now unleash a small portion of your Origin of Fire power and barely use 'Absolute Space.' This 'Absolute Space' not only allows your defense to reach ten thousand times your original strength, but it also makes you immune to the influence of the elemental power of any realm. Your cultivation level isn't high now, but if you use 'Absolute Space,' even a late-stage Immortal Emperor wouldn't be able to break through your defense!" The Old Man Huo said with a beaming smile, clearly very pleased that Zhang Xingfeng had become stronger.

Zhang Xingfeng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "Master, do you know what level of secret the 'Realm of Space' is?"

The Old Man Huo glared and said, "You brat, speaking of which, your master feels... feels that you're incredibly lucky. Hmph, you know what? That 'Realm of Space' is on the same level as me. Because he's my good brother, I went to great lengths to get him to teach you! This 'Realm of Space' is on the same level as my 'Fire Origin Secret Canon.' Once you reach the Heavenly God Realm, you might even be able to create a world, like... the Immortal Realm!"

Zhang Xingfeng was stunned. "Could it be that 'Independent Realm' is the so-called creation of a world? What kind of divine Divine Ability is this? Can one create a world simply by reaching the realm of a celestial being?"

The Old Man Huo said helplessly, "Hmph, you're so vain, kid. Only by cultivating the Old Man Hei's 'Realm of Space' or the old man with the white attribute's 'Creation of Worlds' can one truly create a world. Otherwise, even if you reach my level, it's impossible. Look, I created a world, like the one right here. Hehe, how could one live in it if their Fire Attribute cultivation hadn't reached a certain level!"

The true creation of a world is a perfect world, and the reasons behind this are beyond my ability to explain, as someone who has never cultivated! Let me tell you, the universe is currently governed by only eight elemental masters, and only the White Old Man and the Old Man Hei are capable of creating worlds. This Immortal Realm was created by the Old Man Hei back then!

Zhang Xingfeng was stunned again. Who could have imagined that a place like the Immortal Realm was actually created? Zhang Xingfeng thought of the old man in black who had given him the Metal Fragment. He found it hard to believe that the old man in black had actually created the Immortal Realm.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately laughed. As the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover! The Old Man Huo in front of him, laughing and joking, doesn't seem like a top-level master in the universe at all. In comparison, the strange Old Man Hei seems more like a master.

Zhang Xingfeng was suddenly moved. "It seems that Master has been paying attention to me for a long time. Back in the Hall of Illusory Fire God, everything seemed to be prepared by Master. When I encountered the Fire Cloud Sacred Beast, I almost became its meal. Then, I inexplicably left the Hall of Illusory Fire God. It seems that it was Master who saved me! During the last Divine Artifact Tribulation, the final attack also inexplicably disappeared. It seems that was also because of Master!"

Suddenly, Zhang Xingfeng smiled bitterly, "That old man in black is on par with my master, an invincible existence, yet he actually came to me and offered me his Supreme Lore. This old man in black has never seen me before, so why is he being so kind to me? It's all because of my master!"

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and his whole body trembled. A special emotion filled his mind. Zhang Xingfeng knew that from now on, this Old Man Huo would be his closest relative!

"Master, thank you!" Zhang Xingfeng had a lot to say, but in the end, he could only utter this one sentence.

Old Man Huo could see right through Zhang Xingfeng's thoughts, and of course he understood Zhang Xingfeng's emotions at this moment. Instantly, the usual joking and laughing expression disappeared from Old Man Huo's face, replaced by a kind expression.

"Don't think so much, hehe. Over the years, you've been my only disciple. If I'm not good to you, why should I be good to others? Hehe..." Old Man Huo laughed. "Back then, I did handle that Divine Artifact Tribulation. You, kid, had no experience at all. One divine artifact is one Divine Artifact Tribulation, and you forged six of them at once. You really don't care about your life!" Old Man Huo seemed a little angry.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately smiled sheepishly.

However, Zhang Xingfeng suddenly felt a little worried. "Is this Divine Artifact Tribulation so powerful? When forging divine artifacts in the future, will I have to do it one by one? That would be so slow, not to mention that I have an agreement with the Azure Emperor Heavenly Emperor. What should I do? Do I have to forge divine artifacts outside every time? After all, only in that way can I defend with all my might when resisting the Divine Artifact Tribulation. Otherwise, I also have to be careful that the mountain gate is not attacked by the leaked power!"

The Old Man Huo chuckled and said, "But don't worry, after my warning, that Heavenly Venerate Leide should know what to do. You won't have to worry about refining divine artifacts anymore. Hehe, actually, now that you have Absolute Space outside, are wearing the Heavenly Fire Armor, and your body is at the initial stage of the Immortal Undying Body, your defensive power is absolutely comparable to a minor completion of the Six Revolutions Profound Body. Dealing with the Divine Artifact Tribulation will be no problem at all!" The Old Man Huo dispelled Zhang Xingfeng's concerns.

Zhang Xingfeng was overjoyed and immediately said, "From what you've said, my defenses are so powerful now. It seems I'm not without rivals in the Immortal Realm?"

"Xingfeng, your defense is invincible, but your offense falls short. After all, you're only at the early stage of Immortal Monarch. Now that you possess Saint Artifact, your strength has greatly increased! If you rely on the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons ' auxiliary skill, using Fire Blades as the main attack and the Jie Sha Blades Formation as a secondary attack, you can already fight to a draw with a late-stage Immortal Emperor! But that's not enough. That Ziwei brat's Seven Star Robe amplifies attack power tenfold. His attack power is the strongest among all late-stage Immortal Emperors! Even with the Saint Artifact, you're still a little short of him! But don't worry, your defense is already so strong that you're already invincible!"

Zhang Xingfeng nodded.

In fact, he was already quite satisfied. At this point, his attack power was about enough to deal with a mid-stage Immortal Emperor without using the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons, and with the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons, he had reached the level of a late-stage Immortal Emperor. Most importantly, his defense was invincible!

If you have invincible defense, aren't you already in an unbeatable position?

As one of the Old Man Hei's greatest Supreme Lore, it's normal for "Absolute Space" to have reached such a level!

"Xingfeng, don't you have a brother? Something called Little Dragon, hehe. Be sure to take good care of him in the future. The dragons among the divine beasts have enormous potential. Once they reach the Divine Realm, they can evolve into sacred beasts. The Five-Clawed Divine Dragon is the most powerful sacred beast even in the Divine Realm. You know, every sacred beast has its limits!" Old Man Huo said to Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng immediately asked, "Limit? How is the limit of this sacred beast determined?"

The Old Man Huo chuckled and said, "Ordinary divine beasts, such as the dragons and White Tiger Clan, have a limit of Heavenly Venerable level. Other ordinary beast races have a maximum level of Upper Heavenly God. For example, the Fire Cloud Sacred Beast's limit is the strength of Upper Heavenly God. After all, when the Fire Cloud Sacred Beast was in the lower realm, it was just a Devil Beast! But... even among the beast races, there is a strongest. That is the king of the strongest divine beasts, the dragons— the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon. They are the only beast race that can break through to the Heavenly Venerable level!"

Zhang Xingfeng realized that the Little Dragon was indeed the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon. The dragon race is the strongest among divine beasts, and the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon is the king of the dragon race, capable of breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable realm.

However, Zhang Xingfeng shook his head, thinking to himself, "Isn't every human capable of cultivating and breaking through to the Heavenly Venerable realm? It seems the aptitude of the beast race is really too poor!"

The Old Man Huo immediately saw through Zhang Xingfeng's thoughts and said, "Hehe, kid, you don't know this. Even among humans, not everyone can break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm. Historically, more than 90% are born with innate attributes, like your Innate Fire Spirit Body! Do you know why I care so much about that Little Dragon?"

Zhang Xingfeng shook his head.

The Old Man Huo laughed and said, "The Five-Clawed Divine Dragon is not as simple as you think. Their greatest strength lies in their inherited memories. Now that he is a divine beast, many of his inherited memories are still sealed. When he reaches the level of a sacred beast, the inherited memories in his mind will be completely unsealed. Hehe, Xingfeng, those are the memories passed down by each generation of Five-Clawed Divine Dragons that break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm. The number of their Supreme Lore is definitely beyond your imagination!"

Zhang Xingfeng was shocked. "Now that Little Dragon is just a divine beast, many of its inherited memories are sealed, yet it already possesses the ultimate Supreme Lore of the Eight Divisions Heavenly Dragons. If it reaches the level of a sacred beast, just how powerful will its inherited memories be?"

"You are my disciple, and you have only learned one or two Supreme Lore. The Five-Clawed Divine Dragon is more powerful with each generation, and they possess the Supreme Lore of each generation's predecessors! If you have his help, your cultivation will be much faster in the future. Most importantly, the more Supreme Lore you learn, the stronger our Fire Element lineage will become in the future!" The Old Man Huo said to Zhang Xingfeng solemnly.

Zhang Xingfeng nodded after hearing this; he understood what Old Man Huo meant.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. You can go now!" Old Man Huo suddenly said to Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback, then realized that there were indeed many things he needed to do in the outside world, so he said, "Disciple will take his leave now. I wonder how disciple will find you, Master, in the future?"

The Old Man Huo, annoyed, said, "Looking for me? What do you want? Kid, you're my disciple. I'll pass on my Supreme Lore to you, and that's it! From now on, you'll walk your own path. I can't interfere too much, otherwise, without any training, how can you break through to the Heavenly Venerable realm? Alright, I'm leaving now. The Old Man Hei is waiting for me to have a drink!"

With a flash of light, the Old Man Huo had vanished.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingfeng suddenly laughed, "Training?" Zhang Xingfeng vanished in a flash...

At this moment, the Old Man Huo, flying towards the peak of the Immortal Realm, muttered, "Hmm... sigh, this disciple is something else, hehe. But it feels really good to have my own disciple. Star Peak, your future path won't be so smooth, hehe. What am I worried about? Fortune and misfortune are intertwined, who knows if it will be a blessing or a curse?" The Old Man Huo quickened his pace and arrived at the Old Man Hei's residence in the Immortal Realm.

It took half a year to reach that mountain range because the large group was moving together and couldn't use Star Brilliance, since there were too many immortals. But when they returned, Zhang Xingfeng used Star Brilliance directly and quickly arrived at Qingjian Realm!

Zhang Xingfeng's mental cultivation has now surged to an astonishing level. While his Divine Sense requires nourishment from his own energy, it is also closely related to his mental cultivation. Zhang Xingfeng's current mental cultivation is simply too high; this has resulted in the range of his Divine Sense's observation increasing by tens of millions of times, making him comparable to Immortal Emperor- level expert!

Zhang Xingfeng flashed and appeared in the Azure Emperor's courtyard.

The Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor had just returned to Qingjian Realm, and naturally, they went straight to the small courtyard to have a proper discussion.

The Azure Emperor frowned and said, "This Zhang Xingfeng seems to be quite extraordinary. What exactly is in that cave? None of us know. However, we do know one thing: there is definitely a terrifying monster inside, capable of easily killing Ziwei. Yet Zhang Xingfeng's entry into that cave seems to have had no effect whatsoever!"

The Heavenly Emperor nodded, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Seeing this mountain range formed by the Blazing Heavenly Fire, I have a connection?"

The Azure Emperor immediately sat down on a nearby stone bench and said, "Oh? What association? Tell me, Chiyang, sit down, sit down and tell me!"

The Heavenly Emperor nodded and sat down nearby, saying, "You should know that the mountain range wasn't always like this. It was just an ordinary mountain range, so why is it now covered in Blazing Heavenly Fire? Throughout the Immortal Realm, even among masters of fire manipulation, how many can make an entire mountain range burst into Blazing Heavenly Fire?"

The Azure Emperor's expression immediately changed, and he asked, "You mean... the Fire God?"

The Heavenly Emperor nodded solemnly.

"Do you remember how Zhang Xingfeng came into our view back then? Wasn't it because we suspected he was the disciple of the God of Fire God? Now it seems that this is very likely! Or rather, apart from the Fire God, I really can't imagine any expert who could deal with Ziwei so easily. As for that monster, it might be one of the God of Fire God's mounts!" The Heavenly Emperor's judgment was clearly very close to the truth!

The Azure Emperor nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it seems that Zhang Xingfeng really might be the Fire God's disciple! It's a pity we can't go and confirm it with Zhang Xingfeng!"

Suddenly, a loud laugh rang out.

"Don't bother looking for me anymore. I'm telling you now, I am the disciple of the so-called Fire God!"

The Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor were greatly shocked. They hadn't detected anyone approaching; what did this mean? It meant the opponent's strength was no less than theirs! The Azure Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor immediately looked more closely...

Zhang Xingfeng, with a faint smile on his face, walked into the courtyard.
