He Came for the Throne

Outer space, in a different realm.

At the bottom of the blood pool, Super Material surged. Chen Yongjie sat there cross-legged, his mind and body clear and serene. He felt as if he were a saint or Buddha, covered by the sun, with purple aura coming from the east and Shine Upon's light shining everywhere.

"By practicing Buddhism and Daoism together, I vaguely saw the true meaning of spiritual practice." In the end, he couldn't help but groan, feeling completely relaxed.

He held the Soul Locking Bell in his right hand, the blood-red talisman of the red-skinned monkey in his left, and Snow White Conch in his mouth, guarding Wang Xuan to prevent him from being attacked.

He also benefited greatly from this process, and together with others, he progressed from being burned to the point of near death by the red glow, almost turning into charcoal, to being as calm and composed as an old Buddha.

Wang Xuan saw rolling purple clouds descending from the sky within the meteorite, and his primordial spirit was cleansed. Chen Yongjie, on the other hand, saw purple clouds coming from the east.

As soon as he saw it, Wang Xuan was covered in purple smoke. Following the principle of not wasting anything, Old Chen used the secret techniques of the Daoist school ancestral temple to draw in all the overflowing smoke.

He first practiced the "Purple Qi Coming from the East" technique from the "Purple Mansion Dao Scripture". Afterwards, he practiced the "Great Sun Visualization Diagram" from the "Shakya True Scripture".

In an instant, Tao and Buddhism resonated, and a blurry figure appeared on each side of his body, with a purple sun covering him and the other two figures.

The golden core energy within Chen Yongjie's body grew increasingly rich and vibrant, giving him a sense of immense fulfillment. He was on the verge of breaking through his cultivation barrier, while the immortals and demons outside were cursing and complaining, all of them... losing cultivation levels.

Outside, there were others in the same high spirits. They looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then couldn't help but shout, "Wow, that vibration... so... good!"

It was none other than Great Immortal Huang – Huang Ming.

He, along with Kong Yun, Zhou Shiqian, Cao Qingyu, Chen Yan, and others, were among the first flesh-and-blood descendants of Transcendent Immortals to emerge from the grand stage, representing the earliest peak of combat power and considered the most powerful figures of their time.

In Great Immortal Huang's words, "I too have looked down upon the world!"

Although it only lasted a few days, it was indeed close to the truth.

Unfortunately, the world was shaken again and again, causing tragedy for them all. Their cultivation levels dropped one after another, with Huang Ming falling to the fourth or fifth level at his worst.

Until recently, this group of people hit rock bottom and rebounded. Huang Ming recovered from the more than a dozen broken bones he had suffered when he crossed over into other fields, and after taking secret medicine, he recovered to a level close to the sixth rank and stopped declining.

The violent shockwaves from the extraordinary aftershocks primarily targeted creatures of the Broken Plate level, pressing down from above. Several groups of people changed positions on the ceiling, but there were always tall people holding it up.

People like them, who were once at the "ceiling," are now almost at the floor. While the extraordinary aftershocks are still affecting them, they are no longer fatal.

After dropping two or three realms, they are now relatively safe.

Not long ago, Great Immortal Huang was very uneasy, but he found that he was as calm as a rock and nothing happened to him.

"I feel that my cultivation has been solidified." Huang Ming, with his blond hair, pointed face, and eyes like golden beans, said, "Let it shake, this is not a bad thing. The more it shakes, the more we can be considered to have been tempered like gold."

Watching the tragic events that caused those arrogant demon saint offspring to suffer a reverse escalation, while he remained an unyielding peak in the epicenter, he felt extremely pleased and couldn't help but want to shout.

Kong Yun glared at him and said, "Keep your voice down, or you'll bring trouble upon yourself." He was considered a top genius among this generation, but compared to Qi Liandao, the Demon Ancestor's Progeny, and Blood God Ape, the descendant of the Demon Saint, he was definitely no match.

"A little shake is indeed quite effective," Chen Yan said.

Zhou Shiqian smiled, indicating her agreement.

"It's best if this doesn't happen while traveling by car. Last time I came from New Star to Old Earth, the ride was so bumpy that I felt like throwing up as soon as I got on the bus," Huang Ming said.

Immediately, Zhou Shiqian and Chen Yan both glared at him fiercely. Last time, they were both victims. As newly emerging pure singers, they ended up on the sex scandal list because of it.

Wang Xuan raced at lightning speed, using the God Slaying Banner a path, his speed increasing tenfold, and he was rapidly approaching the Real World!

"The Silver Animal Hide scroll has undergone such a change. Is it a map?" He looked at it again and again. There were arrows on the animal hide pointing to a place. It looked like it was hiding something extraordinary.

"Since it was discovered in the Old Earth, I should search for it carefully after returning to the present world. Is this going to be a surprise for me?" He was very much looking forward to it.

This animal hide was exposed to the landscape by impacts from near-realistic materials near a meteorite crater, which is truly remarkable.

He entered the Life Earth and rose rapidly. In a daze, he saw the Nurturing Life Furnace and two Heavenly Herbs in advance.

Bang!

The earth cracked open, and as the three-headed, six-armed Blood God Ape turned around, he kicked the Demon Cultivator who was blocking his path to pieces. The demon never understood why until his death.

"Don't get too close to me, you're in my way!" The Blood God Ape was in a bad mood. He was originally a third-level expert of the Carefree Journey and wanted to break through to the fourth level.

As a result, he fell again and again, and after descending to the second level, he was violently shaken by the final aftershocks, causing him to slide down from the second level once more.

Strictly speaking, he is currently at the first level of perfection, which is rather pathetic.

His face was ashen, he disliked everyone, and he wanted to tear anyone who dared to block his way to pieces, his bestial side about to erupt.

He approached the blood pool step by step to kill the Demon Cultivator around him, but it was naturally not as satisfying as brutally beating up the human cultivators who occupied his territory.

He needed to vent his anger and vent his frustrations. Besides, that person was related to the ancient God Slaying Banner, which was of great importance to him and was the prey he wanted to kill.

Qi Chengdao, who was sitting Qi Chengdao in the Thunder Marsh, opened his eyes. He had struggled, but in the end he had no choice but to lie down and let his realm be mercilessly shaken down.

"Qi Chengdao, don't stop me. I'm not in the mood to play along with your act right now. I'm going to kill. That low-level cultivator, that piece of trash, dares to enter my blood pool? He's got a screw loose. He deserves to be smashed to pieces. He invaded my territory, and everything he owns is mine!"

The Blood God Ape opened its mouth, revealing a tall and imposing body covered in red fur. With three heads and six arms, it exuded a powerful aura, Super Material emanated from it, suffocating those nearby.

Qi Chengdao's expression was not good. The losses today were too great. He said coldly, "I can go with you to carry out the raid. I will protect Ming Xi's health."

"To kill a rogue cultivator at the seventh level of the Human World, you need two people to go with you? I can't bear the shame!" The Blood God Ape stomped on the ground, creating dozens or even hundreds of half-foot-wide cracks that spread into the distance.

"You can kill him, but the ownership of the God Slaying Banner is another matter!" Qi Chengdao added calmly, this artifact must not be given up.

"What are you saying? He's on my territory, so naturally he's my prey. Whether he lives or dies, it's all mine. What does it have to do with you!" The halo behind the Blood God Ape's head buzzed and emitted a blinding light.

Zhou Qinghuang walked gracefully over, her steps light and agile, and said, "You two are acting as if no one else is around, treating each other like prey, aren't you? Especially you, Qi Chengdao, don't you care about the fact that Ming Xi is in his hands?"

She was dressed very modernly, with slightly torn stockings on her long legs under her shorts. She even deliberately broke off the heels of her high heels to avoid affecting the fight.

However, neither Blood God Ape nor Qi Chengdao were particularly interested in her beauty.

"Glasses Girl, stay away from here and don't cause trouble. Look at your fair skin, slender arms and long legs, you look delicious to be eaten raw. Don't mess with me!" the Blood God Ape threatened.

Zhou Qinghuang almost lost her temper. She really wanted to pick up an energy cannon and blow his monkey head off. Why did he seem even more hateful than the Mo Si?

"Zhou Qinghuang, you bewitched Ming Xi and got together with her. Look at the state you've become now!" Qi Chengdao said coldly, expressing his great dissatisfaction with her.

Zhou Qinghuang pouted and said, "Men are all the same. All you can think about right now is the fragment of the treasure. Don't you care about Ming Xi's life or death?"

"Demoness!" Qi Chengdao's expression darkened slightly.

"If you still care about Ming Xi, protect her physical body and don't let this red-haired monkey cause trouble," Zhou Qinghuang said.

"The fairy with a renowned reputation among the demon race is indeed exceptionally beautiful, a truly captivating beauty. Come, stand beside me. As fellow demons, I will protect you."

Someone arrived, wearing a faint smile, but with a deliberately suppressed madness. This man with a full head of thick, flowing hair looked like someone you didn't want to mess with.

Zhou Qinghuang immediately stepped back, very wary, and recognized his identity at a glance— Qi Liandao, whose reputation and background among the demon race were quite great.

His status is extremely high; he is the son of the Demon Ancestor. How many people would dare to disobey him? Even Zhou Qinghuang, who is also a member of the demon race, is extremely wary of him.

"Don't be afraid. Women who follow me will always have good outcomes and bright futures. Even if the extraordinary tide recedes, I can still ensure your Wu You," Qi Liandao with a smile.

No matter how you look at it, the intense mental fluctuations deep in his eyes are very abnormal. He is now filled with murderous intent. His failure to advance and the reverse breakthrough have made him so angry that he wants to kill like crazy!

When he emerged from the secret realm, he learned that Wang Xuan had entered the Thunder Marsh, and immediately attacked, intending to kill the human cultivator who had slashed him more than a dozen times.

"What's there to argue about now? Let's go into the blood pool, drag that Wang Xuan out, and smash his brains out!" Qi Liandao said coldly.

His suggestion was extremely firm. "The God Slaying Banner can be discussed later; let's kill the target first."

At the bottom of the pool, Old Chen faintly heard it, his expression changed, and he used the "Reception Sutra" to call out to Wang Xuan, hoping that he could hear it in the Unknown Place.

"Wang Xuan, wake up! Something's happened. A few big guys have come outside. If they come down, I probably can't hold them off. Maybe I should carry you away!" Chen Yongjie whispered.

The group in Thunder Marsh officially began their operation.

"Alright, let's tear that weakling apart first, so he won't get in our way. Since he's come to my territory, I'll make the first move." The Blood God Ape turned around and ran wildly away, determined to kill Wang Xuan first.

A cold glint appeared in his eyes. If he really wanted to crush that human cultivator and obtain the God Slaying Banner, who would still listen to reason with them? What descendants of the Ancestor of Celestial Immortals, what children of the Demon Ancestor, could they all crawl to the side?

The second to act was Zhou Qinghuang, urged on by Gu Mingxi inside her body, who was genuinely afraid that the giant monkey would tear her body apart as well.

Qi Chengdao also quickly took a step forward.

The demon ancestor's own son did not sit idly by; he leaped up and traversed hundreds of meters.

"Thump!"

Several crimson waves splashed up, and all the powerful figures went inside.

"This Wang Xuan is truly pitiful. He's being targeted by several top experts, and his death will be extremely gruesome. No amount of rare treasures can stop him. How can he still have the mind to go into seclusion?"

Many people in Thunder Marsh saw this scene and couldn't help but shake their heads. What suspense could there be?

At the bottom of the pool, Wang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, his bright gaze more dazzling than lightning. Purple aura surrounded him, and he remained calm and composed, sitting cross-legged without getting up.
