Testing Spiritual Power, Unrivaled Strength!

The Teng Snake Demon God hovered above the Human Race tribe, unfurling two pairs of sky-obscuring wings. Rolling waves of Divine Power surged from its body, causing the very skies and clouds to shift. The entire Human Race was plunged into darkness and chaos.

"Fellow Daoist Gu Xi, this Teng Snake Demon God is a supreme Golden Immortal under Great Sage Qiongqi. Its strength is formidable, ranking among the top five Golden Immortals along the East Sea Coast. Please be extremely careful," warned the Fire Rhinoceros Daoist.

Having been converted by Gu Xi, he now cared for Gu Xi's well-being in all matters.

Meanwhile, Suiren Shi and the others remained remarkably calm.

During their hundred-year journey, they had personally witnessed Gu Xi casually kill over a dozen Gods and Demons at the Golden Immortal level.

Therefore, they had great confidence in Gu Xi.

"A supreme Golden Immortal, huh? I haven't really used most of the over ten Three Thousand Great Daos I've cultivated. Now's a good time to test their power on him," Gu Xi said. With a single step, he appeared before the Teng Snake Demon God.

"You are the leader of the Human Race?"

"I didn't expect you to be a Golden Immortal."

The Teng Snake Demon God sensed the faint Golden Immortal Aura emanating from Gu Xi, and a flicker of surprise flashed in its narrow, cold snake eyes.

"The Human Race, created by Empress Nuwa, is indeed extraordinary. To produce a Golden Immortal in just a century."

"This Human Race must have astonishing potential and contain unimaginable Destiny/Fortune... No wonder Great Sage Qiongqi would risk incurring Empress Nuwa's displeasure to try and subdue them."

"If Great Sage Qiongqi gains the support of this Human Race's Destiny/Fortune, he might one day ascend to Great Luo and become another God and Demon Dao Lord of our Yao Race."

At this moment, it vaguely understood why Great Sage Qiongqi wanted to subdue the Human Race.

"I am Gu Xi, the Human Race Holy Father. Welcome, Fellow Daoist Teng Snake, to our Human Race's 'guest visit'," Gu Xi said with a smile.

Having experienced such "cold treatment" in the Buzhou Mountain region, he now felt quite favorably towards those who actively sought him out, like the Teng Snake Demon God.

Therefore, his attitude was also very "friendly."

The Teng Snake Demon God was somewhat bewildered by Gu Xi's attitude.

It had come to declare Great Sage Qiongqi's decree, demanding the Human Race submit to the Guishan Monster Race and Great Sage Qiongqi... Shouldn't Gu Xi's attitude be one of extreme anger?

Why was he so "friendly"?

"There's no need for pleasantries. You will now accompany me to Guishan to pay respects to Great Sage Qiongqi," the Teng Snake Demon God, unable to comprehend the reason for Gu Xi's abnormal attitude, decided to stop thinking about it and directly demanded Gu Xi accompany him to see Great Sage Qiongqi.

"Paying respects to Great Sage Qiongqi, no rush!"

"I have cultivated for many years, but I'm not very clear about my own strength. I've heard that Fellow Daoist Teng Snake is one of the supreme Golden Immortals along the East Sea Coast. I'd like to ask for your guidance."

As Gu Xi finished speaking, his body moved abruptly, and a figure emerged from above his head.

This figure wore a robe embroidered with patterns of a thousand wheels, bright moons, stars, mountains, and rivers.

Most mysteriously, this figure had nine hands and five heads. Its feet were planted on a giant turtle and a giant fish, respectively. The nine hands each held a Magic Tool: a saber, a sword, a bow, a spear, a hammer, a fork, a bottle, a rope, and a staff.

This figure's five heads all bore the face of a Daoist, identical to Gu Xi's, but with different expressions: a faint smile, seriousness, compassion, indifference, and an open-mouthed roar of anger.

This Dharma Form was condensed from the profound principles of the "Great Origin Art."

In the Eternal World, the Great Origin Art is also known as the Mighty Divine Ability of Pan Wu. Cultivators can open nine Sea of Consciousnesses and possess boundless strength.

Gu Xi called this Dharma Form the "Dharma Form of Pan Wu."

As soon as the "Dharma Form of Pan Wu" appeared, it grew infinitely large, exuding a ferocious power that oppressed all things in heaven and earth. Dark spatial cracks appeared in the void surrounding the Dharma Form.

The immensely large Dharma Form of Pan Wu suddenly clenched one hand, encompassing the sky, causing the winds and clouds to change. It enveloped the Teng Snake Demon God and then violently flung it tens of thousands of miles away.

"Gu Xi, how dare you attack me?" the Teng Snake Demon God roared in fury.

It could never have imagined that Gu Xi, who had been smiling just a moment ago, would attack it in the next.

"Fellow Daoist Teng Snake, why be angry? I merely wished to ask for your guidance."

Gu Xi merged with the Dharma Form of Pan Wu and took a step forward, reappearing before the Teng Snake Demon God. With a thought, the nine arms of the Dharma Form of Pan Wu wielded the nine Magic Tools – saber, sword, bow, spear, hammer, fork, bottle, rope, and staff – and struck towards the Teng Snake Demon God.

The vast and terrifying Magical Power instantly shattered countless voids, and the hundreds of mountains below also collapsed with a roar.

"Gu Xi, you are insolent!" the Teng Snake Demon God roared. The heavens and earth cracked, and the mountains and rivers shook violently. Brilliant Great Dao Patterns flashed across its thousand-zhang-long serpentine body.

Rolling, cloud-like Divine Power surged from its massive demonic body, instantly engulfing the land for tens of thousands of miles, shrouding it in surging mist.

This mist contained the power of the Law of Mist, capable of obscuring the sight of all ordinary beings.

Even Earth Immortals and Heavenly Immortals could only vaguely perceive some of what was happening within.

Only powerful Golden Immortals could roughly discern the situation inside the mist.

Within the boundless mist, the Teng Snake Demon God's massive serpentine body continuously collided with the Dharma Form of Pan Wu.

Every collision caused the heavens and earth to shake violently, shattering void after void. The spreading magical power fluctuations caused the land tens of thousands of miles below to surge like tides, with countless mountains collapsing.

The scene was incredibly astonishing.

Such a massive commotion immediately alerted the nearby Gods and Demons.

"This... this is a battle between Golden Immortals."

The Gods and Demons dwelling nearby all released their divine senses, gazing towards the two figures clashing fiercely within the clouds.

"It's him, the Teng Snake Demon God! Who exactly is fighting the Teng Snake Demon God?"

These Gods and Demons quickly recognized the Teng Snake Demon God's identity.

Instantly, they were all greatly shocked.

In the East Sea Coast region, the Teng Snake Demon God, this supreme Golden Immortal, was a renowned figure, second only to the Five Elements Dharma Lineage's five Great Sages, the Great Sage Qiongqi, Wu Li, and the other seven Great Sages.

Now, someone actually dared to fight the Teng Snake Demon God, how could these Gods and Demons not be shocked?

However, although Gu Xi was famous in the Buzhou Mountain region and recognized by many powerful beings when he intervened in Nuwa's creation of humans...

The East Sea Coast was too far from the Buzhou Mountain region, and most powerful beings rarely passed down Gu Xi's identity and appearance.

Therefore, the Gods and Demons of the East Sea Coast did not recognize Gu Xi.

"This Golden Immortal is very unfamiliar; he's probably from another region. But he has quite the guts to fight the Teng Snake Demon God..."

"The Teng Snake Demon God has reached the limit of Golden Immortal for many years and is a supreme Golden Immortal. This outsider Golden Immortal probably won't last long."

The Gods and Demons of the East Sea Coast did not think highly of Gu Xi.

The Teng Snake Demon God had held sway in the East Sea Coast region for too long.

Within the rolling, tide-like clouds, the Teng Snake Demon God felt bitter and unable to speak.

Every time his demonic body collided with Gu Xi's Dharma Form of Pan Wu, he felt as if his demonic body was colliding with a Primordial Divine Mountain forged from steel. The pain was excruciating, as if his body was about to fall apart.

If this were the Dharma Form of a Primordial Great Sage or a God and Demon Dao Lord, it would be understandable.

But this was merely a Dharma Form condensed by a Golden Immortal, and it was already so powerful.

It truly shocked the Teng Snake Demon God.

What made the Teng Snake Demon God most uneasy was...

He had already used his physical strength, his Magical Power, and even the laws of clouds and mist that he controlled, almost with his full strength.

Yet Gu Xi had only used one Dharma Form, appearing completely at ease, clearly not using his full power.

Could it be that Gu Xi's true strength surpassed his own?
