Name: Hongguang

[Realm Level: Perfected Minor Mystic Power Realm]

[Dojo: Taiyin Sixth Level]

Age: 8854

[Supernatural Power (Minor): Blood Vine Nine-Turn (Perfect)]

[Supernatural Power (Minor): Heart Field Art (Seventh Order)]

[Supernatural power (small): World Origin Mountain (Ninth Order)]

[Supernatural Power (Minor): Five Poison Straw Man (Ninth Order)]

"So many supernatural powers, all Classic Spell of the True Self Faction?" Since a battle was inevitable, Zhao Xing quickly analyzed Hongguang's combat strength.

"The Blood Vine Nine-Turn originates from the Major Divine Ability ' Origin Vine Immortal,' which is a supernatural power that can change the variety of vines."

"No wonder he has so many Cloud-Soaring Vine."

The reason why "Origin Vine Immortal" is called Classic Spell is because it can change the properties of plants within the same species.

This method is one of the major categories of "Variant Method".

For example, both are vines, Cloud-Soaring Vine belongs to the ' Void Seed ' while ' Water Cloud Vine ' belongs to the 'Aquatic Species'.

However, the spell "Origin Vine Immortal" can transform a Water Cloud Vine from an ordinary aquatic plant into Void Seed!

This is Variant Method of the True Self Faction!

The "Variant Spell" can be said to be an indispensable spell for the Self-Oriented Sima Nong in tactical combinations.

Of course, these kinds of spells are extremely difficult to master; without thousands of years of research, one can't possibly achieve anything significant.

The Blood Vine Nine-Turn that Hongguang learned was only Minor Divine Ability.

Changing attributes can have significant negative consequences for Plant Soldier.

Zhao Xing also found Cloud-Soaring Vine's condition somewhat strange.

[Blood Moyun Vine (Abnormal)]

[Realm Level: Perfected Minor Mystic Power Realm]

[Innate Divine Power: Void Solidification (Eighth Tier)]

[Innate Divine Power: Life Blood Thorns (Seventh Order)]

[Remaining lifespan: 10 years and 4 months]

"Sure enough, all of his Cloud-Soaring Vine only showed one Cloud-Soaring Vine Innate Divine Power, which is ' Void Solidification '."

Normally, Cloud-Soaring Vine at this level should have two kinds of talents.

First, the Void Solidification; second, the Void Strangulation.

With its dual spatial abilities of binding and attacking, the Cloud-Soaring Vine is worthy of being called the overlord of the "King Grade" unit.

Without the "Void Strangulation" talent, the attack power is very weak.

Zhao Xing guessed that Hongguang had used Variant Method on the "Blood Cloud Vine," so that one plant had two supernatural powers, both of which had weakened. This was the aftereffect of the spell.

"It's neither fish nor fowl, and its lifespan is only a little over ten years. That's the price it pays."

"However, he also has the Five Poison Straw Man, the Heart Field Art, and the World Origin Mountain."

"Among them, the Heart Field Art and the World Origin Mountain are classic True Self Faction magic, but the ' Five Poison Straw Man ' is something I've never heard of; it must be a rather low-level supernatural power," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The Heart Field Art is a defensive supernatural power of the mind and will cultivated by the True Self Faction, belonging to the major category of "Heart Seed Method".

Despite having the word "mountain" in its name, World Origin Mountain is not Mountain Art at all.

Instead, it is a supernatural combat method based on the "World Projection".

The combination of the "Original Projection" of the True Self Faction and the dojo can be used to create a variety of creative experiences.

This falls into another major category—[World Method]

Hongguang's dojo is of a very high level. Zhao Xing is only at the Taiyin Fourth Level, but he is at the Taiyin Sixth Level.

When Hongguang began to act, he first used the unit Cloud-Soaring Vine to cast "Void Solidification".

Four of the Cloud-Soaring Vine used "Void Solidification," while the other four actively extended, their tens of thousands of branches transforming into blood-red thorns that pierced towards Zhao Xing.

He himself used the "World Origin Mountain" technique, merging it with the Taiyin Sixth Level Dao field, causing the void to ripple like a river, pressing down in a mighty torrent.

The projection and the Daoist temple merged together, resembling a "Dao Mountain" pressing down on the Heavy Water River. Even the Heavy Water River itself was crushed, creating a clear fault line between it and the surrounding waters.

It was said that Zhao Xing was being given a chance to hand over the ' Special Plant,' but Hongguang went all out.

After all, Zhao Xing must have some skill to subdue Special Plant.

Now is the time when Zhao Xing is weak, so of course we should beat him while he's down.

"Click click click~"

Zhao Xing's body was pressed down a bit; the Heavy Water River, which originally only reached his knees, now reached his thighs.

"Hiss hiss hiss~" One by one, the branches of the Cloud-Soaring Vine pierced towards Zhao Xing, like countless venomous snakes, wanting to devour this Zhao Xing.

"Complete suppression!" Hongguang sneered as he stared at Zhao Xing.

Cloud-Soaring Vine's Void Divine Power is definitely the top-tier among Minor Divine Ability. Zhao Xing's movement speed became extremely slow, making it impossible for him to dodge his attacks!

It was thanks to these eight powerful Cloud-Soaring Vine that he had survived until now in this perilous little world.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

The spikes kept striking, but it was all bark and no bite.

The Ninefold Treasure Light circulated around Zhao Xing, protecting him layer by layer. The spikes could not penetrate the last three layers of precious light to hit his flesh.

Life Blood Thorns?

It couldn't pierce even a little bit.

Not to mention plundering Zhao Xing's life force.

The defenses haven't even been breached yet!

"Hmm? What's wrong with this guy? Could he be Martial Shennong?" Hongguang frowned.

After all his efforts, the actual results were not very good.

Zhao Xing's aura was somewhat weak, but that was due to the subjugation of the Special Plant. Compared to before his attack, the decrease in his aura was negligible.

"Five Poison Straw Man! Charge!"

Hongguang wanted to finish the battle quickly, so many more Straw Man Clone flew out from his body.

The Primordial Convention prohibited participants from using their own unit types and from bringing materials to make their own straw figures. He made his Five Poison Straw Man Figure after he entered the tournament.

"This is really a bit of a problem." Zhao Xing completely ignored Hongguang's straw man.

The Life Blood Thorns could not pierce the Ninefold Treasure Light, nor could the poison of the Five Poison Straw Man invade.

After meeting Wu Tian, his Treasure Mountain Divine Ability approached perfection. It had been suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years. This Ninefold Treasure Light was born from Wu Tian's personal tempering.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's impervious to all magic. To break through it? You'd need at least Major Divine Ability powers and spells.

The trouble lies in the ' Void Solidification ', the suppression from World Origin Mountain, and the pressure from the Heavy Water River itself.

These three factors have greatly reduced Zhao Xing's movement speed, making it impossible for him to even jump out of the Heavy Water River.

"Under the suppression of his World Origin Mountain, I can't even open my Origin Projection, so I can't release the Giant Yang Straw Man or the Mushroom Soldier," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Compared to the geniuses of the Red Star Empire, Zhao Xing's training ground was weaker, True Self Faction's cultivation technique, "Origin Sea World," was far less profound than that cultivated by the geniuses of the Red Star Empire.

Zhao Xing always knew that this was his weakness, but during those ninety-seven years of training, he made some choices and chose to cultivate the Giant Sun, Five Finger Mountain, and Marrow Extraction Divine Power.

"Let's try the influence of willpower first." Zhao Xing suddenly looked up, and a blood-red blade appeared in his huge pupils.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh~" The blood-red sword blade flashed and disappeared, instantly appearing in Hongtian's mind.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

In Hongtian's mind, countless wails immediately resounded.

Hongtian momentarily dazed. He saw countless wronged souls of the Turtle Race crawling out from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood, corroding his soul.

"This is his supernatural power of will... I've never seen anything like it before."

A sense of fear arose in Hongguang, but he also felt a little strange.

So many turtles howling? He had never seen such a strange phenomenon before!

"Plant a field in your heart, and it will protect you for eternity!"

The moment Zhao Xing attacked, Hongguang was affected, the Cloud-Soaring Vine's movements slowed down, and even the power of World Origin Mountain decreased.

However, he recovered in just a moment.

"This is the Heart Field Art. Although it is two levels lower than my Willpower Divine Power, I still cannot completely break through its mental defenses." A green field was reflected in Zhao Xing's eyes.

The vast fields created a natural and tranquil atmosphere, which significantly reduced Zhao Xing's murderous intent.

"Hongguang, you can't eliminate me, give up!" Zhao Xing shouted.

"Give up?!" A glint of madness flashed in Hongguang's eyes. "Without Special Plant at my disposal, I can't avoid the collapse. How can I give up?"

"Die!"

Hongguang's chest suddenly split open, as if a blood-red nebula was swirling inside.

Then Cloud-Soaring Vine suddenly went berserk, and its attack power increased dramatically!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~" The attack power of the Life Blood Thorns has broken through the eighth layer of treasure light.

At the same time, the binding force of the Void Solidification also greatly increased the power of World Origin Mountain.

"Traces of the Life Great Dao!" Zhao Xing understood that this person's Source Origin Space, in addition to the Five Elements Great Dao, had begun to grasp a trace of the Life Great Dao.

In layman's terms, this is the "Great Dao characteristic" of the Source Origin Space, which can be bestowed upon troop types to provide a certain degree of enhancement.

Zhao Xing's seven traces of the Great Dao were all left on the mushroom body. He himself did not master them, and there was a gap between him and the other party in terms of his True Self Great Dao.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle~"

Treasure Mountain Divine Ability was teetering on the brink of collapse, its light growing weaker and weaker.

The tentacles of the Cloud-Soaring Vine grew increasingly frenzied, seemingly forming a world of tentacles that completely surrounded Zhao Xing.

"They can't even wear them down like this?" Hongguang was somewhat shocked.

"I have already used ' Life Burning,' a trace of the Great Dao that I have mastered, which can allow the combat power of a unit to break through its limits in an instant."

"So you still can't break through his final layer of divine light?"

"What kind of supernatural power does he possess?!"

Hongguang really wanted to curse at that moment.

"With such a tough Mountain Art, why not walk the path of a martial artist? Why come here to walk the Agriculture Dao!"

Zhao Xing was also furious. He had just recruited special troops and was in a weakened state when he happened to run into Hongguang.

This person can't break through his own defenses, but he's determined to keep going!

"Damn it!" Zhao Xing's Heart Fire surged, his fury constantly assaulting his Sea of Consciousness.

"Being suppressed by a big shot like Wu Tian is one thing, but how dare you, a mere Source Origin Realm, suppress me?!"

The Ninefold Treasure Light emanating from Zhao Xing grew increasingly intense under this extreme pressure.

He slowly raised his hand above his head.

"Boom!"

The earth began to tremble, and the entire Heavy Water River boiled.

Hongguang discovered that the heavy water around Zhao Xing had begun to completely recede, revealing the exposed riverbed.

"What?" Hongguang sensed something was wrong; this was definitely not the influence of the pressure from his own World Origin Mountain Dojo.

Then there's only one possibility!

"Could it be...?"

Inside a simple, rustic wooden house in Two Liang Slope.

Wu Tian was meditating beside the green lamp.

Suddenly he opened his eyes and smiled.

"To have mastered it in less than eight hundred years, how wonderful!"

"Finally, there's a third person in this world who knows Five Finger Mountain. I'm not alone anymore."

Boom!

The water in the lower reaches of the Heavy Water River flowed away rapidly, while the water in the upper reaches surged back and rushed towards Hongguang.

The exposed riverbed continued to rise, and countless wisps of earth energy rose and condensed in Zhao Xing's hands.

The Ninefold Treasure Light emanating from Zhao Xing suddenly receded into his body.

Under the pressure of elimination, he finally broke through the Five Finger Mountain technique after years of hard work!

"Could it be... that he actually mastered a Major Divine Ability under my pressure?"

"Impossible!"

Despite saying it was impossible, Hongguang's body had already begun to retreat.

Because Zhao Xing's physique has reached an astonishing "five extremes".

His eyes were half-open, all murderous intent vanished, replaced by a peaceful aura.

A faint glow emanates from every inch of her skin.

"Run!!"

Hongguang finally realized the truth and stopped hoping for a lucky break, and began to flee frantically.

"Is it too late to run now?"

"Suppress them!"

Zhao Xing reached out and grabbed at it from afar.

The earth energy between his fingers was fully formed, detached from Zhao Xing's palm, and pressed down on Hongguang.

"No!"

Hongguang desperately urged the dojo and his troops to fight back.

Countless vines climbed up the Five Finger Mountain that seemed to have fallen from the sky, covering the mountain with a layer of green.

But the mountain's speed did not decrease, and it continued to press down on Hongguang.

"Boom!"

As the Five Finger Mountain descended, Hongguang, before he could resist, transformed into a Golden Light and vanished completely from the small world.

Hongguang is eliminated!

"Bang!"

The mountain fell into the Heavy Water River, effectively cutting off the river.

"What incredible Major Divine Ability!"

"Hurry up!"

"What a monster! The Mushroom King can even use Mountain Art!"

"Hongguang is quite famous in the Heavy Water River. He is very powerful in terms of magic, dojo, and Source Origin Space. How could he be reversed by the Mushroom King?"

"Having participated in the Primordial Convention, I realized just how many geniuses the Empire has."

The prying eyes from all sides quickly dissipated. If it had been a lose-lose situation, perhaps some people would have been thinking of taking advantage of the situation.

However, Zhao Xing's desire to take advantage of the situation weakened after he crushed Hongguang.

"Five Finger Mountain, this is Five Finger Mountain." Zhao Xing stood in the river for a moment, contemplating the scene, and looked at his palm.

"The Five Finger Mountain, which I had been unable to break through for so long, was finally breached under the pressure of elimination."

Each Major Divine Ability is extremely difficult to master, and it is even more difficult for the Source Origin Realm to master Major Divine Ability.

"To unleash Major Divine Ability at the Source Origin Realm, one needs to break through the limits."

"To become Major Divine Ability through the physical path is to unearth the treasures within the body. Usually, once one unearths the treasures of Minor Divine Ability, one cannot continue. This is the unseen constraint of the Great Dao."

"Therefore, many people in the Third Realm cannot become Major Divine Ability beings."

"The path of magic, mastering Major Divine Ability spells, follows the same principle. Except for those with innate Major Divine Ability who are born without constraints, like Yu Tianqing, whose talent has been developed to the point where he has already reached that level."

"If one cannot learn Major Divine Ability no matter what they do in the Source Origin Realm, then they are being shackled by the Great Dao in the dark."

"Now that I have unleashed my Major Divine Ability, I have broken through a layer of the Great Dao's shackles and opened a gap." Zhao Xing understood.

While he is in the Source Origin Realm, he can continue to accumulate experience and use the breakthrough opportunity from the Mountain Art to further strengthen his foundation.

Of course, there are multiple levels of Major Divine Ability powers. Zhao Xing broke through with the Mountain Art, so now he can only use the Earth Vein source to strengthen his foundation.

Someone like Du Yun, who is at the level of the Grand Mystic Power Realm, has achieved a very comprehensive level of proficiency.

"I can now be considered a Major Divine Ability being." Zhao Xing felt that his perception of the Earth Vein was many times clearer.

"However, now is not the time to ponder this realm. Let's return to the Black Forest first."

How to use the Mountain Art to strengthen one's own origin and build a more solid foundation is something to be discussed after the competition ends.

Now, Zhao Xing still needs to protect the special forces and avoid the collapse first.

Beihe World Star, Lord's Mansion.

"It's saved!"

"Zhao Xing won!"

"It's really not easy."

Inside the Lord's Hall, many Dao Domain Realm watched the battle between Hongguang and Zhao Xing.

"Mister Qiao, was Zhao Xing's final move a breakthrough in his magic?"

"Yes." Qiao Song nodded.

"Hongguang's combat record is also perfect. Since he came in, he has experienced more than 3,000 battles, and he has won every single one. Even if he lost, he always escaped unscathed."

"He is a genius from the Yueming Star System. It can be said that his combat skills have reached a certain limit of the Minor Mystic Power Realm."

"Zhao Xing's final move to defeat his opponent clearly shows a breakthrough."

"Hongguang, relying on the advantage of his dojo, has been lying in wait nearby, and his timing was just right. It was really dangerous," Dao Domain Realm remarked.

After consuming the Special Plant, the creature was already weakened and was trapped in the Heavy Water River.

It can be said that many factors are unfavorable to Zhao Xing.

However, this is the only way to pass through the checkpoint.

After all, out of 1 million Agricultural Official, only 1,000 will be selected; what they want are those one-in-a-million geniuses.

If one is not at the Grand Mystic Power Realm, then one must excel in many aspects, seize opportunities, and master a wide range of techniques... only then will one have a chance to pass the test.

"Mister Qiao, what kind of Major Divine Ability is Zhao Xing's last move?" someone asked curiously.

"It might be the Mountain Method Divine Power," Qiao Song said. He wasn't sure even though he was separated by the water barrier, so he could only say "maybe."

"It's the Mountain Method Divine Power," Lord Beihe said, a hint of admiration in his eyes. "And it's a very powerful Major Divine Ability."

"The ability to sever the Heavy Water River and conjure five Earth Vein out of thin air for attack is Major Divine Ability whose sophistication is enough to be ranked in the list of the ' Three Thousand Great Divine Powers '."

"However, this is the first time I have ever seen such Major Divine Ability."

Throughout the entire Xuanling Star Domain, there is a ranking list of supernatural powers, with three thousand Major Divine Ability for innate and one for acquired abilities, hailed as the strongest.

Getting into this list is no easy feat.

After all, throughout the Xuanling Star Domain, countless talents have emerged over countless eras, creating numerous magical and physical supernatural abilities.

"Never seen a lord like this? Could it be an original creation?" Everyone was shocked.

If it's a self-created Major Divine Ability, then that's truly remarkable.

To create one's own Major Divine Ability and still be ranked in the "Three Thousand Great Divine Powers" list? That's a super genius like Du Yun!

"Whether it's his own creation or not, my Beihe Star System has finally produced a Sino Genius," the Lord Beihe said with a smile.

The Manya Small World, in the Black Forest.

"I'll eat it!"

Zhao Xing found a gray mushroom, pulled it out, roasted it over a fire, and began to feast on it to restore his strength.

"I'm starving!"

Zhao Xing ate three giant spirit mushrooms in one go, but still felt hungry.

There was no other way; subduing the demon had already consumed a lot of his spiritual energy, and after the battle with Hongguang, his spiritual power was also depleted.

Fortunately, there are many mushrooms here, some of which are auxiliary mushrooms containing abundant spiritual essence.

"Hiccup~" Zhao Xing hiccuped, exhaling a puff of poisonous gas. "Finally, I've recovered half of my spiritual power."

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang-"

Just as Zhao Xing had finished eating, a series of explosions came from the outskirts of the Black Forest.

"A challenger has arrived."

Looking around, several hundred Agricultural Official appeared on the outskirts of the Black Forest.

They all unleashed their primordial projections and began invading their own territories.

"As soon as I got back, I was attacked by several hundred people."

"The ticket to the third stage is really hot to hold."

Zhao Xing opened his Source Origin Space, looked at the small silver tree, and wondered if it could be of any use.

[Silver Light Earth Star Tree (Derived Seed)]

[Quality: Special]

[Status: Mature]

[Major Divine Ability: Standing Tall and Firm (Unlocked)]

[Major Divine Ability: Taiyi Aurora (Sealed)]

"Hmm?" Zhao Xing took it out and shook it. "Hey, get to work, stop playing dead!"

The silver sapling didn't react at all, as if it were playing dead.

Zhao Xing immediately launched an in-depth investigation.

Previously, it was about invading the consciousness partition; now, it's about understanding its life essence partition.

A unique scene appeared in the world before my eyes.

Zhao Xing was greatly shocked after reading it.

A starry sky appeared before me, with three major nebulae in the sky.

One of the nebulae is rotating, and it is bright overall.

The other two nebulae are both gray and hazy, one of which is filled with neat and orderly chains, completely sealed off.

The other one is also Entanglement by mysterious chaotic chains, but each chain has a number.

The numbers were jumping, clearly indicating a countdown: 45 days, 6 hours, and 32 quarters.

Zhao Xing raised his perspective and soon saw three more nebulae, which formed three characters in the script of the Red Star Empire: Primordial Beginning Realm.

Amidst that bright nebula, there was another line of small characters: Gu Luo River.

You can even vaguely see a human face.

"This is absolutely amazing..." Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine after seeing it.

The life cycle of a normal plant has countless fundamental zones, numbering in the hundreds of millions.

But on one plant, there were only three!

All of them were integrated into three parts by a big shot in the Primordial Beginning Realm named "Gu Luo River".

It's a miracle that you're still alive under these circumstances!

What's remarkable is that they've also meticulously crafted the life-related sections.

Bright nebulae serve as the 'Life Zone,' while gray nebulae serve as the 'Supernatural Zone.'

One is locked, and the other is showing a countdown.

It also left the names of the creators of the Primordial Beginning Realm and the Derived Seed from a micro perspective.

It can arbitrarily adjust the plant's natural life force and lifespan... and from the surface, there is no visible problem.

The Primordial Beginning Realm inadvertently revealed its power.

"That's truly amazing!" Zhao Xing couldn't help but exclaim.

To achieve this level, one would undoubtedly need to be an Emperor Lord Level Agricultural Official, or even Demigod who has mastered divine runes.

"A noob might not even be able to see someone's strength. If I hadn't learned the Marrow Extraction Divine Power, I probably wouldn't know what was going on with this silver sapling; I would have just thought it was broken."

Clearly, the silver sapling cannot be used as a combat unit; it can only be used to avoid 'collapse'.

"The great way is simple, with only three fundamental domains, yet it was so difficult for me to subdue them." Zhao Xing tried to comprehend it.

"Marrow Extraction Divine Power, activated!"

Tiny needles were inserted into the sapling.

Upon closer inspection, those needles are actually giant golden rods.

However, before it reached the three primary partitions, it automatically extinguished and disintegrated, and was subsequently expelled.

"I can't get it to move." Zhao Xing quickly gave up.

"That's true. How could I possibly expose something that's been thrown out by a big shot like this?"

Even if another Reincarnation Realm were here, they might be able to easily destroy the silver sapling from a macroscopic perspective, but the life essence partition could never be altered.

"Forget it, I'll just have to rely on the mushroom army."

Zhao Xing still finds it very difficult to unleash his Major Divine Ability, and he is prone to exhaustion, since he has only just reached the level of the Grand Mystic Power Realm.

"It should only be used as a last resort. Otherwise, we won't be able to withstand the next wave of attacks."

"Get ready quickly."

Zhao Xing started frantically poking at the mushrooms.

As time passed, the sounds of explosions echoed continuously through the Black Forest.

Zhao Xing, on the other hand, focused on throwing the finished mushrooms out to repel the challengers.

At this moment, the Black Forest is like a castle, and people outside are attacking it.

Zhao Xing is guarding the city.

Starting from the forty-fifth day before the end, Zhao Xing's Mushroom Soldier were being consumed at a rapid pace.

However, as time went on, the number of attackers gradually decreased.

The third to last day.

Zhao Xing activated the Daoist altar and used his Soul Heaven Vision to survey the surroundings.

"No one is coming."

"The Marrow Extraction Divine Power is really useful; it was worth all the hundreds of years I spent stabbing it."

Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Including the training time in the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and the Red Star Empire.

During the training, the most time-consuming task was poking mushrooms with the Marrow Extraction Divine Needle, which took even longer than killing Turtle-Turtle.

The results have been quite good; the Black Forest is now only one-tenth the size it used to be.

However, these last tenths of the mushroom seedlings spread out effectively blocked wave after wave of challengers.

It makes people hesitate to approach.

"The last day."

Zhao Xing remained highly tense.

Since twelve days ago, all the ' Special Plant ' have been found.

In other words, there are no more "tickets" for wild animals.

To get to the third level, you have to steal!

The last half hour.

Seeing that no one was coming over, Zhao Xing smiled.

"Looks like no one dares to challenge me."

"It's a pity I haven't put these mushrooms from the Grand Mystic Power Realm to good use yet."

Zhao Xing looked at a mushroom at the Grand Mystic Power Realm beside him.

"We can't take the units with us in the competition, so we can't use them in the next round. Let's see what they're like! Go!"

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing's main body and clones, along with numerous mushrooms, all took to the air and flew out of the Black Forest.

In the last half hour, Zhao Xing flew towards a certain area.

He wants to find a master of the Grand Mystic Power Realm to practice against!

Tens of thousands of mushrooms, roots and all, flew out of the Black Forest.

After the battle at Hongtian, Zhao Xing learned his lesson.

To avoid being unable to even open the original projection, he directly used his spiritual power to carry these mushrooms away.

If it is placed directly in the outside world, it will not be suppressed.

Of course, this is also very strenuous.

"It's the Mushroom King, what's he up to?"

"Nobody's challenging him anymore, so why is he even moving?"

"Last chance!"

"Mushroom King, take this move from ' Peng Feiyun '!"

A voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and someone blocked Zhao Xing's way.

"Mushroom King!" Peng Feiyun stared at Zhao Xing, his fighting spirit soaring. "Even at the last moment, knowing I am no match, I, ' Peng Feiyun,' will still strike against the strong."

Even if I'm eliminated, being able to compete against a genius like you will make the trip worthwhile.

Zhao Xing chuckled to himself, realizing he'd run into someone using him to "boost reputation."

This kid probably knew the whole match would be broadcast live, so he's deliberately trying to impress.

This is to leave a good impression when joining other factions later.

"Okay, then come on over." Zhao Xing was happy to oblige, regardless of whether the other person was faking it or not, as it wouldn't waste any time.

"They're here!!"

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

Peng Feiyun and his troops launched a total of twelve attacks, bombarding Zhao Xing.

However, these magical attacks were deflected directly when they reached the outermost layer of the 'mushroom' on the sphere.

As the spiritual energy dissipated, Zhao Xing hadn't lost a single mushroom.

Only the outermost layer of mushrooms has lost its golden veins.

"This is a mushroom?" Peng Feiyun was stunned.

All of his and his troops' attacks were deflected, failing to even breach the outer defenses, let alone injure Zhao Xing himself.

"How can it be so hard? What's the explanation?"

"Mushroom King, may I ask you?" Peng Feiyun humbly asked for advice.

"I named it the Adamantine Mushroom," Zhao Xing said casually. "Its surface structure is already as hard as the Golden Body of Qi Sect Martial Practitioner."

"As for the explanation..."

"Try it yourself."

Zhao Xing, of course, was not going to preach or enlighten anyone. Instead, he simply picked up a large Adamantine Mushroom and threw it at Peng Feiyun.

"Boom!" The small-handled, but robust Adamantine Mushroom rolled over.

It was like a millstone, grinding through the void, pressing down on Peng Feiyun.

"You think you can take me down with just one? Mushroom King, don't underestimate me!"

"Hold on!"

Peng Feiyun immediately went to catch the mushroom.

However, he soon discovered that he couldn't cover it up at all.

Therefore, they had to coordinate their troops to come and meet them.

Using all his strength, he finally managed to lift the incredibly heavy Adamantine Mushroom onto his head.

"That's all there is to it..." Peng Feiyun was saying when the Adamantine Mushroom suddenly lit up with Golden Light.

Like the Solar Yang, it radiated light and swayed constantly, making the surrounding void unstable.

"What? It can explode?"

"—Bang!"

The Adamantine Mushroom, resembling a star exploding.

The devastating attack immediately eliminated Peng Feiyun from the competition.

"I said it's Adamantine Mushroom, not that it won't explode." Zhao Xing shook his head. "He can't even catch one, yet he calls himself a genius."

With the breakthrough at Five Finger Mountain, the Great Dao opened a door for Zhao Xing, and the effect was immediate.

He combined his Marrow Extraction Divine Power to absorb as much Solar Yang energy as possible from the original essence of the Adamantine Mushroom.

And that's how the Adamantine Exploding Mushroom came to be!

For him, this was both a test and a form of self-cultivation.

Having met many Sino Genius, the interactions between them can generate a lot of insights.

However, Peng Yunfei was too weak and didn't give him any sense.

The last quarter of an hour.

Zhao Xing Yu Fei to his destination— Wind Thunder Canyon.

Xilin opened her eyes and looked at the mushrooms that filled the sky.

"The Mushroom King?" Xilin's expression turned grave. "He's come looking for me at this time?"

Not far away, a divine tortoise was also watching Zhao Xing from afar.

On the last day, the Manya Small World was surprisingly quiet, because all the fights that needed to be fought had been fought, and the situation had stabilized.

Their position as one of the 1,000 people is now unshakeable.

"Fellow Daoist Xilin!"

Zhao Xing spoke, his voice booming like a bell.

"Mushroom King, what are you doing?"

"You once attacked me in Wind Thunder Canyon, forcing me to take a half step back."

"Now, I also come to seek guidance from my fellow Daoist! I also seek a clear understanding of the mind!"

"An eye for an eye, you'll get yours too!"

After saying that, Zhao Xing didn't care whether Xilin agreed or not, and immediately threw 10,000 mushrooms in Xilin's direction.

Including that mushroom from the Grand Mystic Power Realm.

"What?"

Xilin was a little confused; she couldn't remember Zhao Xing at all.

Unexpectedly, even as the event was nearing its end, someone still came to ask me for advice.

"In that case, come on over!"

Xilin's expression turned cold, and bamboo stalks rose into the sky from within the canyon.

"Buzz~"

There were twelve lush green bamboos in total, but all their branches had been pruned, leaving only bare bamboo stalks.

The top was also cut off horizontally, revealing a dark hole.

The twelve bamboo stalks, echoing each other, formed a verdant barrier.

"Supernatural power, Five Elements Heaven." Zhao Xing silently observed, "Using twelve 'bamboo' plants of the Third Realm as [Law Bamboo]."

"The mind and the plant life are linked, forming Magic Array, which is eventually constructed into a perfect Magic Array."

"It seems she follows the Life Array Stream, possessing a Great Heart Power, which makes her very suitable for this path," Zhao Xing said expectantly.

The Life Array Stream is a branch of the True Self Faction. However, it is extremely difficult to learn.

During the Profound Yellow World, warriors and soldiers could form "Qi and Blood Battle Formation".

The Agricultural Official can also form magic Magic Array through the Earth Vein Return to Origin Magic Array.

Plant life, of course, can also.

However, it's too difficult to get Plant Soldier to reach the level of creation.

Such micro-manipulation would be impossible without the support of a powerful mental supernatural ability.

Furthermore, we must conduct in-depth research on the "Essence of Life" and the "Life Formation".

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

When the mushroom seed falls, the first one to hit is the heavy, hard, and explosive "Adamantine Mushroom".

The emerald green Life Formation barrier suddenly began to shake violently.

The mushroom seed is used for self-destruction, an explosion that gathers all the essence of its body.

Xilin's expression changed immediately.

Xiao Xuan, who was watching the battle from a distance, also had a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Plant life is known for its inherent strength; most of the Agricultural Official only use plant life to attack, rather than to explode."

"However, Plant Soldier are meant to be used repeatedly. A single burst of units would be considered a ' Explosive Soldier Stream."

"Usually, units Explosive Soldier Stream are relatively weak, since they're not easy to train. But the explosive power of this unit is a bit too high..."

In terms of attack power, Zhao Xing's "mass Explosive Soldier Stream is most powerful at the moment of concentrated burst.

However, not all plant life has the option of self-destruction.

The fact that the Mushroom King could do it immediately raised his reputation in Xiao Xuan's eyes!

"However, I still instinctively dislike him, and I don't know why." Xiao Xuan, somewhat puzzled.

Xilin was even more upset.

She discovered that even the simple Five Elements Heaven Divine Magic Array couldn't withstand Zhao Xing's attacks.

"If the bombing continues, the Magic Array will break in thirty breaths," Xilin quickly deduced.

"Change!"

With a gentle sip, Xilin mentally manipulated the twelve Law Bamboo, and Chongguang shone from the roots of the twelve Law Bamboo, transmitting to the top.

Wisps of yellow smoke rose up, and the emerald green barrier instantly turned golden yellow.

It was as if half a Solar Yang had fallen into the canyon. All the Adamantine Mushroom exploded in mid-air at that moment, but the barrier remained completely unshaken.

"Good, there really is something." Zhao Xing was somewhat excited, and the twelve Law Bamboo appeared in his eyes.

"Twelve bamboo holes are inserted into the ground, each at a different height, and each plant is drawing energy from the earth."

"After reinforcing the Magic Array barrier, it immediately became unbreakable," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

The barrier's defensive capabilities are amplified to an infinite degree!

Attacking it is tantamount to attacking the earth.

It cannot be exhausted unless it exceeds a certain peak.

"These twelve Law Bamboo also possess a certain offensive capability; she knows at least twelve different supernatural powers."

Zhao Xing glanced at Xilin's information, and it was indeed as he had guessed.

"Bang! Bang!"

More than 10,000 mushrooms exploded, and even the mushroom at the Grand Mystic Power Realm exploded brilliantly in the blast.

Zhao Xing stared intently, trying to discern the traces of the Great Dao in the firelight.

"Poison? Or penetrating?"

Zhao Xing seemed to be deep in thought, and his divine sense quickly began to deduce the possibilities.

"One is still too few. It seems I need to practice more after I get out of here."

Zhao Xing wasn't that talented; he didn't think he could successfully deduce the existence of "traces of the Great Dao" within his body by having a mushroom explode with the help of a Grand Mystic Power Realm.

It requires countless attempts and guidance from specific methods.

However, at least I saw some Dao essence, so it wasn't a complete waste of this mushroom.

"Click-clack~"

As if two Solar Yang had collided, a crater appeared in the barrier.

Xilin's breathing became labored because she had been poisoned!

As the toxin entered her realm, her physical body instantly underwent a transformation, becoming extremely bloated.

In just a moment, she turned into a very fat woman.

"You!"

Xilin quickly detoxified and regained her figure, but she was also annoyed by Zhao Xing's outburst.

After looking in the mirror, Xilin screamed even louder because her face hadn't recovered yet.

"The Mushroom King!!!"

She was about to launch an attack when the earth energy of the twelve Law Bamboo soared into the sky, and a sound rhythm appeared.

The successive eruptions created a rhythmic grandeur that seemed to strike the heart of every individual.

The entire world of Manya was affected by Agricultural Official.

"Damn it, why did I mess with this woman?"

"This is so uncomfortable, honestly, why am I so obsessed with looking good..."

"With the amplification of her Great Heart Power by the Law Bamboo, this woman is about to go berserk."

"..."

Zhao Xing was also ready for battle, but just then—

"Boom!"

The sky and earth changed color.

Xilin's music was interrupted, the twelve Law Bamboo withered instantly, and the barrier disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xing also immediately landed.

The countdown on the Star Mirror has reached zero.

"The collapse has begun."

Zhao Xing immediately released the silver sapling.

At this moment, its Major Divine Ability power was also unlocked. The sapling grew into a large tree, which became an umbrella, with specks of firefly light hanging down to protect Zhao Xing inside.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Since the Agricultural Official in the Manya Small World was not protected by Special Plant, he was quickly teleported out.

About two days later, only 1,000 Agricultural Official remained.

Lines of text were also displayed on the Star Mirror:

[Congratulations to the 1,000 contestants of the Manya Small World No. 2436, you have passed the Second Stage test.]

The collapse of this small world is a rare sight.

It will last for two years and six months.

Observing the collapse of the small world is of immense benefit to cultivation. This is a gift from the Primordial Beginning Realm to help you pass the test. I wish you all success in your comprehension. —Primordial Beginning Realm
