The stars twinkle, the silver moon hangs high, various night birds sing in the forest, and wild beasts howl in the distance. This is a remote mountain wilderness, far from the city.

"Reaching the pinnacle of immortality, you want me to share in the glory?" Wang Xuan frowned, looking puzzled, and asked him, "What do you mean?"

"I will give you a proper burial," Zheng Wu said, then charged forward with a whoosh, like Dao Blood lightning, leaving afterimages in his wake.

Wang Xuan activated the ancient lamp, and a dark red Arrow Feather shot through the air, shredding some towering ancient trees.

The Blood Shadow that rushed forward snapped its fingers, creating a burst of blood-red light and flowing, dazzling runes that clashed violently with the dark red Arrow Feather.

In the mountains and forests, a blinding light suddenly burst forth, illuminating the night sky and making the bright moon pale in comparison. Patches of ancient trees were shattered, vines exploded, and the ground melted into a pool of magma, turning a deep red.

With a whoosh, Zheng Wu appeared like a ghost, lunging at Wang Xuan as if to merge into his body, swift as lightning.

Behind Wang Xuan was a Thatched Hut, from which blazing golden light shone. A Golden Small Tree, no more than a meter tall, was rooted in a copper basin, exuding a sacred aura and radiating brilliance.

Nine golden birds chirped in the treetops, and four of them rushed out and pounced on the Blood Shadow.

"Huh?" Zheng Wu dodged at lightning speed, flashing through the woods like lightning.

Wherever his figure passed, thick ancient trees snapped and rocks flew violently; he was like thunder and hurricane, leaving devastation in his wake.

However, he couldn't escape. He was blocked by four golden birds, and instantly four golden lights burst forth, like the sword energy of a celestial sword that could cleave the heavens and the earth, locking Zheng Wu in place.

With a soft "whoosh," four golden lights flashed past, cleaving him in two!

Four golden birds chirped, quite mysteriously, and their beaks once again emitted golden light, shredding the remaining blood light.

"I thought he was some kind of powerful character, spouting nonsensical nonsense about experiencing brilliance and splendor. Is that all? He's just here feeding birds." Wang Xuan shook his head.

Suddenly, his expression hardened, and he sensed that after the Blood Shadow was shredded, several scraps of paper, stained with glowing blood, fell and burned to ashes.

Not the real body?

In the distance, Dao Body emerged from the dense forest, hazy and ethereal in the moonlight. It was a youth with an otherworldly aura, and his body contained a rich blood essence that shone like a small sun.

"Is this the extraordinary treasure you used when you killed my Zheng family's expert? It's indeed extraordinary. It's a top-tier divine artifact left behind by those Daoist Masters in the mortal realm, specifically designed to kill the primordial spirit. It's both vicious and sacred. It's remarkable that it ended up in your hands."

Zheng Wu approached, his appearance Clear and Transcendent, a youthful figure whose spirit gave people a sense of transcendence, yet there was also a subtle sense of oppression.

Wang Xuan's eyes were deep, and he was secretly alarmed. This person was actually so cautious, using a talisman to test the Heavenly Blood and destiny.

"Who do we have here? It's the group Huang Kun was supposed to guide at Golden Peak Mountain. Were all those dead experts true immortals from your camp? How pathetic," Wang Xuan said calmly.

Zheng Wu didn't speak, but walked straight forward, still confident and calm, like a handsome young immortal descending to earth.

With a whoosh, he split into nine, transforming into nine red beams of light that vanished from their original spot, as if abruptly piercing through the void, attempting to penetrate the nine red marks on Wang Xuan's body, making it impossible to defend against.

The Golden Tree glowed, and nine small birds chirped, unleashing their power once more. In an instant, terrifying golden light engulfed the forest, forcing back the nine beams of light. Even with the help of the placenta, Zheng Wu could not penetrate Wang Xuan's flesh to capture and kill them.

Nine golden Divine Bird appeared together, determined to annihilate him completely!

Zheng Wu sighed, forcibly squeezing out a drop of golden blood from the bloody light. It burst forth with dazzling light, transforming into a faint phantom. It wore black armor, but it radiated countless golden rays, engulfing the entire mountain range!

The Zheng family was well-prepared; that peerless master had given him more than just a drop of blood.

Undeterred, the nine Divine Bird pounced forward without hesitation, devouring the peerless figure Dao Body armor, determined to annihilate him.

Wang Xuan was truly moved. The fact that the other party had a peerless master behind him was indeed terrifying. Even with top-tier treasures, it was not certain that he could withstand it.

As the nine Divine Bird pounced on Zheng Yuantian's phantom, Zheng Wu moved, this time resonating with the nine red marks on Wang Xuan's body.

He instantly disintegrated, transforming into streams of light that converged from all directions in the form of crimson clouds, abruptly merging into Wang Xuan's flesh and blood.

Wang Xuan's eyes were deep as he blocked Chi Xia's attack. After a brief confrontation, his spiritual body rapidly converged and rushed into the earth of his life!

He sensed that Zheng Wu had already coalesced from flesh and blood into a physical form and was rapidly approaching the edge of the Life Land.

In an instant, the two met again in this special place, standing on a land teeming with life, the place where all laws originated.

Wang Xuan stared at him without saying a word.

This uninvited guest has barged into his life's soil, wanting to take his place and strip him of everything, and is now smiling at him.

Zheng Wu's spiritual body was very strong, but it looked very ethereal. He looked around and said, "It's beyond my expectations, no worse than my life essence. This is perfect. My Heavenly Blood and Destiny brought me with all my essence. Regenerating through your body will be even more effective!"

"A demonic fetus?!" Wang Xuan stared coldly at the boy in front of him.

However, he did not see the main root of the Heavenly Medicine, nor did he see the medicinal soil, which made him frown. Could it be that Chi Meng had unexpectedly intercepted it?

"Whether it's a celestial embryo or a demonic embryo, the names are different, but the effect is the same: to create the strongest foundation. After surviving the Great Tribulation of Transcendent Immortals, I will surely soar to the heavens. Give me enough time, and no one will be my match!"

Zheng Wu smiled faintly, his handsome face radiating confidence. With his hands behind his back, he looked down at Wang Xuan and said, "You can end your life now. Disappear from this earth. This place is now under my control!"

No one could tolerate his attitude, barging into someone else's territory and acting so disrespectfully, looking down on his opponent and letting them die on their own.

Zheng Wu looks ethereal, but he is actually extremely arrogant and domineering.

Wang Xuan's killing intent surged as he stared ahead, wondering why he couldn't see the Heavenly Medicine. His body clanged as he wore Primordial Spirit Armor and held an ancient-style jade Jade Dragon Saber in his hand; both the armor and the sword resonated with him.

"Get lost!" Wang Xuan shouted, wielding the Pre-Qin Jade Dragon Saber, unleashing a terrifying beam of light—another Great Killer Weapon specifically designed to kill primordial spirits.

This was one of the spoils he acquired from a conglomerate, though it certainly couldn't compare to the Golden Tree or anything like that, but it was still a rare treasure.

In fact, he was still trying his best to restrain himself; he was truly unwilling to give up until he saw the medicine.

The sound of metal chains rattling rang out, and three silver divine chains flew out from Zheng Wu's body, crashing into the Jade Dragon Saber at high speed. During the collision, spiritual energy vibrated, and sparks flew everywhere.

The three divine chains actually blocked the Jade Dragon Saber, demonstrating their power!

"Unfortunately, this was originally a top-tier rare treasure. When it pierced through the curtain, it broke into three pieces. It will take a long time to repair it," Zheng Wu sighed.

Bite!

The Jade Dragon Saber was knocked down, and three broken silver divine chains intertwined and flew towards Wang Xuan, trying to bind him!

Wang Xuan vanished in a flash, retreating into the tangible flesh and blood, seemingly attempting to refine his opponent.

Zheng Wu smiled and said, "It seems your methods are nothing special. Although you have some good fortune to kill the Primordial Spirit Fragment of my Zheng Family Immortal on Golden Peak Mountain, you mainly rely on that Golden Divine Tree outside."

He was smiling, but there was a coldness in the depths of his eyes as he said, "I allow you to live, after all, I still need some time."

"Now I'm in charge of the Fate Land." Zheng Wu said. Controlling this place is equivalent to controlling the Origin of All Laws. In particular, he knows very well that the Fate Land is related to the Inner Scenery Realm. This place is his ultimate goal!

Zheng Wu and composed. After he refined the Life Soil, he would not need to chase after Wang Xuan. He would have a way to kill the opponent's spiritual body through the Life Soil!

"Come!" Zheng Wu's words thundered, runes appeared, and he burst forth from the life-soil, flying out of Wang Xuan's body.

In the distance, an even more intense crimson light burst forth from beneath the soil, instantly lunging towards Wang Xuan's body and entering his life-sustaining soil in the blink of an eye.

Another Zheng Wu has appeared, and his Heavenly Blood and Heavenly Mandate are much more concentrated than before!

This was Zheng Wu Wuzhen, whom even Chi Meng hadn't discovered. He carried the most powerful foundation and had been lying low, not showing himself. Now that he was sure there were no problems, he barged in.

"You really are cowardly, aren't you? So-called demonic fetus, so timid and weak?" Wang Xuan saw this scene from within the flesh and blood and mocked it.

In fact, he was extremely wary. Zheng Wu's previous arrogance and haughty behavior were still a test, and he was afraid that something strange was going on.

Now that Zheng Wu has defeated Wang Xuan and forced his spiritual body away, believing that he has control of the most important life-sustaining element and that the overall situation is settled, his true form has finally appeared.

"Before I am strong enough to dominate the world and look down upon the Transcendent Immortals, I can be as cautious as I want. Once I have built the strongest foundation, when I rise to power, I will suppress even the top Daoist Master, as well as the Buddha and the founder of Daoism!"

Zheng Wu, who appeared later, had an even stronger Heavenly Blood and Heavenly Mandate, and also carried rare and precious treasures!

In an instant, the two Zheng Wu Fusion and Unity, their refined features radiating an ethereal aura. He laughed heartily.

"Everything is ready, we can finally begin."

He took out some Five-Colored Soil, which was not real soil but a semi-energized, semi-material state. It was active soil collected from Mount Buzhou in the Higher Mental World.

Mount Buzhou lush and verdant year-round, giving birth to various spiritual treasures and divine medicines, as its Five-Colored Soil is extremely suitable for the growth of Spiritual Great Medicine.

"This is a treasure! It's the essence of Mount Buzhou, Five-Colored Soil dug out from the ancient medicinal fields on the mountain. It can enhance the activity of life soil and make it more suitable for nurturing heavenly medicines."

After the Five-Colored Soil from Mount Buzhou was sprinkled onto the life soil, the place instantly became vibrant with life, and the life force became much stronger, with remarkable effects!

Next, Zheng Wu took out a piece of medicinal soil, which was black and shiny, like a piece of jade, flowing with powerful vitality and having a faint medicinal fragrance.

This is the medicinal soil of the peerless expert Zheng Yuantian; without a doubt, it is priceless!

"I would never trade for the medicinal soil of my ancestors, no matter how many rare treasures or divine objects are offered. It is a rare treasure that nourishes the soil of my life."

Zheng Wu said that he had a deep understanding of this, as his true form in the big screen had used such a thing before.

The dark, jade-like medicinal soil instantly disappeared into the life soil, causing black ripples to spread throughout the area, and the vigorous vitality was enhanced once again.

Wang Xuan's natal land is now shrouded in ethereal mist, practically a supreme holy land. Taking a breath there gives one the feeling of ascending to immortality.

"All of this is for it, to let it take root and sprout again, to coexist with me, to nurture the demonic embryo, and to build the strongest foundation for me!"

Zheng Wu took out the rootstock of a plant. It didn't look very big, about the thickness of a wrist, with many roots scattered around, each about three feet long.

"I'm really looking forward to it!" he laughed.

"I'm looking forward to it too!" Wang Xuan smiled, his heart filled with excitement. That was the legendary main root of the Heavenly Medicine, originating from the Highest Grade Mental World, and it was about to take root in his life soil!
