Soaring Wind! Great Powers Clash, Bai Mao Shows His Might

Behind the magnificent Immortal Sect, Outer Realm Devil Venerable, clad in a black robe and enveloped in endless, dense, dark cloud-like Devil Qi, descended, unleashing a deafening roar that resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The sound, falling into the ears of Chen Dengming and the other cultivators on the ground, was like rolling thunder, creating a powerful pressure that oppressed their minds.

As soon as Chen Dengming and all the other cultivators guarding the southern War Zone gathered together, they felt a terrifying pressure from high above. Everyone's heart sank, as if a tremendous force was pressing down on them, creating a strong sense of oppression, as if they were in Non-Self territory.

"So powerful! The Demon Lord's aura is even stronger than before?"

Chen Dengming gripped the Soul-Searching Battle Bow tightly, his mind reeling. Looking up, he saw the Demon Lord's body, with its bulging muscles and a height of half a zhang (approximately 3.3 meters) just from the upper Immortal Sect, emerging from outside the Immortal Gate. He felt the intense gloom and terrifying vastness emanating from this figure.

This feeling was even comparable to the immense pressure he felt when the Heavenly Dao opened its eyes in the past.

Even the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng and the Qu Shenzong had never experienced such intense pressure.

Such a powerful aura made Chen Dengming even suspect that this Outer Realm Devil Venerable was completely unaffected by the suppression of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

"This is just a Devil Fetus, but Devil Fetus. It might be the remains of a Dao Integration Great Power, as it can contain such strong Dao power."

At this moment, from within the Human God Hall in Chen Dengming's mind, came the Dongfang Huayuan.

Chen Dengming's heart skipped a beat, his expression turning grave. "The remains of Dao Integration Great Power? How powerful is this Outer Realm Devil Venerable now?"

Dongfang Huayuan transmitted his thoughts, "Possessing Dao power is almost equivalent to merging with the Dao. This is not as simple as the Dao power you possess, but rather the Dao power he cultivated with Dao rhyme. He himself is the Dao, which is purer and can also perform immortal techniques."

Even within the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his strength would certainly be affected, but it would still be no less than that of a half- Dao Integration Great Power.

"It is the Tao itself."

Chen Dengming felt heavy-hearted.

He could certainly understand the concept of 'oneself is the Dao,' which represented terrifying and pure power.

Neither he, nor the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng, nor Qu Shenzong reached the level of 'oneself is the Dao'.

The Immortal Celestial Dao Power they can use and exert originates from the Heavenly Dao itself; they are borrowing the power of the Heavenly Dao.

The only difference is that Lu Xiucheng and Qu Shenzong have a deeper control over the Immortal Celestial Dao Power and various Heavenly Divine Ability, but even this does not reach the level of being the Dao themselves. They may only be able to exert 30% of their power with ten parts of their strength.

The Outer Realm Devil Venerable is himself the Dao; by using his own Dao power, even a fraction of his power can unleash the full force of his power.

The only thing to be thankful for at this moment is that this place is the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Apart from the Immortal Celestial Dao Power, all other Power of the Non-Self Dao will be suppressed, and if they are too intense, they may even alarm the Heavenly Dao.

The fact that the two progenitors were not afraid to fight the Outer Realm Devil Venerable here clearly took this into consideration.

The only remaining question is whether the Heavenly Fortune Dao Artifact wielded by the Outer Realm Devil Venerable will help him circumvent the suppression of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and unleash even more terrifying power.

As Chen Dengming's thoughts raced, the powerful voice of Longevity Dao Lord Lu Xiucheng, suddenly echoed from afar, reverberating throughout the heavens and earth.

"Demon Lord, in this battle, you will perish here completely."

But then, amidst the surging clouds, a colossal face appeared on the horizon.

Above the forehead of the face, a deep blue figure radiating intense spiritual power floated, causing the winds and clouds of heaven and earth to change.

"Demon Lord, you weren't this arrogant when you fled in such a sorry state last time."

Another majestic voice, as powerful as a resounding bell, accompanied by incomparably fierce spiritual power, emanated from the towering layers of dark clouds.

Qu Shenzong's imposing figure also emerged from the dark clouds, his short beard spiking like electrified steel needles, and his eyes sharp and bright.

But then, astonishing arcs of lightning swirled around his body, forming a blazing ocean of lightning around him, its light scorching and shining far into the distance.

The power of destiny and Heaven's Punishment manifested the moment Qu Shenzong wielded the Tiandao Square Halberd.

Suddenly, it seemed as if a mighty will was also disturbed in the endless and vast Outer Heaven.

The atmosphere between heaven and earth immediately became restless, and the muffled thunder grew louder and louder in the dark clouds, as if a crazy will wanted to break free from the shackles of the thick clouds, tear the clouds apart, and be free.

The Devil Venerable Moluo's face, which was as cold as iron, showed fear.

Sensing the increasingly intense repulsive pressure in this world, he suddenly sneered, and the phantom of a black lotus appeared between his brows.

The black lotus phantom flashed, quickly transitioning to a deep blue ethereal color. Much of its surging Devil Qi transformed into Immortal Celestial Dao Power, forming a pale blue halo that enveloped its figure.

The feeling of rejection and pressure immediately subsided.

Lu Xiucheng observed all of this and calmly said, "Back then, you used your Devilish Immortal Way power to devour Immortal Celestial Dao Power and luckily swallowed this Heavenly Fortune Hong Lotus. But you are ultimately not a Heavenly Immortal Way immortal cultivator. How long can this Immortal Celestial Dao Power, obtained through devouring, sustain you?"

When you can no longer hold on, you, along with everyone you brought in, will be buried here.

A fierce killing intent flashed in Mo Luo's eyes, his long, black hair moved without wind, and he spoke in an icy tone:

"Then let's try. Qing Mingzi, why don't you come out now? When will you?"

"Moo--"

A sudden sound of a cow mooing came from behind the Immortal Sect.

The sound of the cow mooing entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm, even drowning out the thunder. When it reached the ears of Nascent Soul True Lord like Chen Dengming, they inexplicably felt a strong baleful Sha Qi.

"Demon Qi? Such strong Demon Qi!"

Chen Dengming's expression suddenly turned serious.

The next instant, a bull flew out from behind the magnificent Immortal Sect, and on the bull's back was the figure of a handsome boy. The boy had a faint smile on his face and was unfathomable. He was also surrounded by azure Heavenly Dao Power.

However, this Heavenly Dao Power is clearly different from the Heavenly Dao Power that emerges from the Demon Lord. It seems to belong neither to the Heavenly Immortal Realm nor to this world, but to the Heavenly Dao Power of another world.

However, at this very moment, because the Heavenly Dao was half asleep, this world seemed to fall into confusion for a time, and the repulsion and suppression that should have existed did not descend upon Qing Mingzi.

Upon noticing this, the boy suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter, uttering a sound that seemed to come from an old age.

"The Heavenly Dao of this place is corrupt and has been asleep for many years, never seeing the light of day. Heaven is blind and truly cannot discern the old Daoist. This time, this corrupt Heavenly Dao should be replaced."

Qu Shenzong and Lu Xiucheng's expressions changed slightly as they stared at the handsome young man riding the ox backwards.

With their discerning eyes, they could immediately tell that this young man was not the true master, but rather someone like the Devil Venerable Moluo at this moment.

Another Dao Integration Great Power entrusted his power to this young man's body and entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

But that's not the main point. The most important thing is that this person, like Mo Luo, has the ability to avoid rejection and suppression from the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

"This person is actually Heavenly Immortal Way cultivator from another realm, and he has actually reached the Dao Integration Realm."

Lu Xiucheng's expression was solemn, and a hint of bitterness and anger even appeared in his eyes. "He is the Outer Dao Heaven."

"Another Dao-merging being? Outer Dao Heaven?"

The conversation in the air was not kept secret from others.

Upon hearing this, Chen Dengming felt a heaviness in his heart. He carefully observed the figure of Qingmingzi riding the ox Qing Mingzi. At this moment, the voice of Dongfang Huayuan consciousness came from the deepest part of his mind, the Human God Hall.

"I never expected it to be this old fellow. Who exactly is he? He manipulated Shi Yiyin to seize the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage back then, and now he even possesses the Immortal Celestial Dao Power."

"What?"

Chen Dengming was greatly shocked. He immediately thought of the old man who had made a move from behind the curtain before Shi Yiyin, the evil ancestor of the Wonderful Sound Sect, disappeared.

Unexpectedly, according to the Sha Star, the old man was actually Qing Mingzi was now standing before them?

At this moment, Qu Shenzong let out a sneer, staring intently at Qing Mingzi on the blue ox, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, "Old tortoise, don't boost others' morale and diminish our own."

At best, he could be considered to have obtained power through trickery and force.

The outer realms truly offer numerous opportunities and abundant resources, even enabling such individuals to attain enlightenment. It's lamentable that they lack Brother Lu's chance. But does this person dare to exert even a fraction of his power within the Heavenly Immortal Realm?

Upon hearing this, Qing Mingzi's laughter subsided. He looked at Qu Shenzong and Lu Xiucheng, thinking to himself that these two were truly formidable. Although they were only Spirit Transformation cultivators, their talent and courage were not to be underestimated.

The only problem is that the Ancient Realm is lacking in resources, its Great Dao is collapsing, and it has no chance at all.

His gaze shifted to the vast land below, and he smiled faintly, "What you two say is true, but my main purpose on this trip is to assist the Demon Lord. It doesn't matter if I don't use much power. You should be happy to help the Demon Lord bring a new era to your Ancient Realm."

"Happy my ass! You old fool, pretending to be a young child. If you called me 'Grandpa,' I'd be happy," Qu Shenzong sneered.

This cold shout was as if it were a divine command. A golden longsword flashed out from the gap in the clouds within the Thunder Pool beside him, speeding past and accompanied by a deafening roar of thunder that made people's hearts tighten. In an instant, it arrived in front of Qing Mingzi.

"Presumptuous!"

Qing Mingzi's voice, deep and old-fashioned, was like the tolling of a morning bell and an evening drum. His eyes suddenly flashed with a dazzling blue light, so intense that it resembled cyan.

The student surpasses the teacher.

This was the majesty of the heavens, instantly illuminating a chaotic, surging expanse of clouds.

The golden lightning that shot towards him instantly collapsed and dissipated.

It seemed like a close contest, but in the blink of an eye, both sides had analyzed numerous subtle clues and gleaned many possible outcomes.

Just then, figures crossed the Immortal Sect one after another. The white clouds surrounding the Immortal Sect disappeared in an instant, and a great battle was about to break out. The atmosphere was already tense and on the verge of collapse.

Chen Dengming's expression changed slightly as he keenly sensed a powerful force interfering with the changes in the world.

He immediately shouted in a low voice, "Everyone, take immediate precautions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he led the charge towards the bottom of the stone forest. His Giant Deer Mage Robe billowed and fluttered, transforming into a giant deer phantom that embraced and protected him, forming a protective light shield.

Seeing this, many Nascent Soul True Lord quickly followed suit, each employing their own methods.

Almost the instant everyone moved, the First Ancestor in the Sky and the others had already made their move.

Lu Xiucheng suddenly raised his right hand and pointed at the opposite Sky Dome, and the Sky Dome there immediately trembled.

A loud bang.

A massive crack suddenly appeared, tearing open wildly. This crack was so large that it resembled a gaping maw of an abyss, swallowing up the Demon Lord and the many Evil Cultivators.

At the same time, immense and ferocious pressure poured out endlessly from the cracks, and huge meteorites, their bodies engulfed in raging flames, hurtled towards the many cultivators with terrifying world-destroying power.

These meteorites were actually fragments of the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, and the strange power they contained could only be neutralized by the power of the Dao.

At the same time, Qu Shenzong also roared, and countless thin and beautiful electric sparks flashed wildly around him. Then, as the Tiandao Square Halberd pointed out, countless lightning bolts and thunderbolts rushed forward with the force of thunder.

The thunder roared like ten thousand chariots, terrifying and awe-inspiring. Countless lightning bolts struck one after another, like a flaming whip, lashing down on all the Evil Cultivator.

All of this sounds slow, but in reality, the two men made their moves in the blink of an eye, almost simultaneously with Chen Dengming and the others' evasion.

The next moment.

With a deafening roar, the entire world seemed to tremble violently.

Endless shockwaves, mixed with terrifying Thunder Fire, spread outwards in all directions, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.

The fierce energy, accompanied by a gale, was unleashed upon the ground, causing many hills to tremble, trees to bend, and trees to fall to one side.

A large number of Outer Domain Evil Cultivator who had just flown out of the Immortal Sect were shaken and fell to the ground like birds with broken wings.

However, the fierce attack was stopped by the Devil Venerable Moluo single-handedly.

He merely made a hand seal, and a gust of wind instantly arose from the immense power of his Dao.

The wind started weakly, but suddenly became violent the moment it came into contact with the powerful attack, overturning meteorites one by one and turning into a tornado-like gale that soared upwards, catching all the incoming meteorites and lightning.

Rumble--

The hurricane engulfed all the attacks, making it impossible to escape. It even spun at high speed, forming a massive fire tornado that lashed back at Lu Xiucheng and his companion.

Immortal Technique - Soaring Wind!

Just then, Qu Shenzong roared and charged forward, dodging the hurricane. His Tiandao Square Halberd brought with it terrifying thunder and lightning, as if half the sky had exploded, and a large amount of lightning struck Qing Mingzi and a large number of Evil Cultivator.

Qing Mingzi's expression turned solemn. Suddenly, his sleeves billowed, and the instant he raised his hands to form a hand Cyan Light, his entire body was enveloped in Cyan Light, their fighting spirit soaring.

Incense Dao!

A massive halo of light shot out with his hands, instantly spreading in all directions, engulfing all the bolts of lightning within its range, which then vanished as if swallowed whole.

Only a few lightning arcs spread too rapidly and struck some Outer Domain Evil Cultivator, instantly paralyzing their bodies and causing them to fall from the sky.

All of this happened far too fast.

On the ground, Chen Dengming and the others felt several immense and terrifying pressures descending from the sky, followed by a burst of intense light and heat.

The power of the light and heat, along with the high temperature, instantly raised the ground temperature considerably.

Immediately following was a series of deafening explosions, like a barrage of thunderclaps.

Many Nascent Soul True Lord watched the breathtaking battle unfolding above them, their hearts trembling with fear. Their years of cultivation and composure seemed to have little effect at this moment.

This is the instinctive, psychological, and physical terror felt by the weak when facing a powerful person who could take their life at any moment.

Only when one is truly on the Battlefield where powerful beings clash can one truly experience that sense of terror. Even Nascent Soul True Lord would feel the fear that if they were accidentally caught in the crossfire, they would be severely injured and die.

This kind of terror is something that no matter how much you imagine or comfort yourself before going to the Battlefield, you simply cannot imagine.

Many Nascent Soul True Lord were not yet fully recovered from the shock of this battle between such terrifyingly powerful individuals.

Chen Dengming, however, was already clear-headed thanks to his superhuman State of Mind. He let out a long roar, which was like Dragon's Roar's cry in a deep valley, resounding in everyone's hearts.

"Kill!"

Chen Dengming's eyes hardened with coldness, his white hair flew wildly at his temples, and he suddenly drew his bow and shot an arrow. The Soul-Reaping Bow Staff emitted a dark light, and under the terrifying pressure above his head, he instantly released the bowstring.

Whoosh--

The Nascent Soul Soul Arrow flashed by like a torrent of shimmering blue light, instantly vanishing into nothingness.

The arrow flew like a streak of light, and a curvaceous female cultivator from another realm was instantly killed in mid-air before she even landed.

The Nascent Soul Soul Arrow shot out from the void, piercing through his body in an instant, bursting into a burst of blood, and blasting a large hole in his chest. His soul was directly snatched up and devoured by the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow's ferocious maw.

The arrow vanished into nothingness once more, continuing to hunt down its next target: an elderly Nascent Soul cultivator whose expression changed drastically.

"Roll!--"

The Nascent Soul elder quickly summoned Law Treasure for defense, and a protective shield appeared on his Outer Dao.

However, the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow vanished into nothingness in an instant, bypassing his Law Treasure protection and striking his shield.

"Clang!--"

The air expanded, the wind spread, and the protective shield collapsed instantly. The old man's Daoist robes were scattered like broken pieces in the wind.

However, with this buffer, the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow was deflected.

Blood trickled from the corner of the old man's mouth; he looked horrified and was about to retreat.

Whoosh!

Another Nascent Soul Soul Arrow appeared out of nowhere and pierced his forehead in an instant.

The old man 'Nascent Soul Divine Soul screamed and flew out, only to be instantly caught and taken away by the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow.

In the blink of an eye, a Golden Core cultivator and a Nascent Soul perished simultaneously. This astonishing scene immediately attracted the attention of many Outer Domain Evil Cultivators who were falling from the sky.

As many people turned their gazes and Divine Sense toward the distance, they saw a cultivator with white hair at his temples still continuously drawing his bow and shooting arrows.

Each arrow that flew out exuded a terrifying and dangerous aura that sent chills down one's spine, representing the aura of Nascent Soul Soul Arrow.

Almost every moment, a cultivator will die, their life taken.

"It's him!?"

"It's him! Number three on the Kill List, the Longevity Sect Leader, the Fighting Longevity Lord, Chen Baimao!"

Many of the Outer Domain Evil Cultivator instantly felt a chill run down their spines, recognizing the archer's identity.

"The First Seat!"

"Well done, Chief!"

Many of their own Nascent Soul True Lord felt as if only a blink of an eye had passed before they came to their senses and witnessed Chen Dengming's incredible feat of instantly killing one Outer Domain Evil Cultivator.

They snapped out of their shock, their blood boiling with fervor, and roared in unison, striking hard at the fallen foe.

Whoosh--

The Nascent Soul Soul Arrow that had first killed the old man flew back to Chen Dengming's side.

He raised his hand and grabbed the Nascent Soul Soul Arrow, which fell onto the bowstring and was drawn back into an arrow, radiating intense killing intent. Meanwhile, the old man's Nascent Soul Divine Soul was instantly absorbed into the head of the Soul-Reaping Bow Staff, waiting to be refined into the next Soul Arrow.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh--

More Nascent Soul Soul Arrow returned, carrying Golden Core Divine Souls and Nascent Soul Divine Soul; the scene was utterly terrifying, filled with Ghostly Cries and Wails and divine howls.

"The Longevity Sect Leader!"

In the air, the two Phoenix Cry Dao Child, who had remained unaffected by the battle between the powerful beings, instantly identified Chen Dengming from his performance on different Battlefield.

This was one of their goals.

Huang Yun stared intently at Chen Dengming, who was displaying great power, and said calmly, "This person does indeed have some strength. Feng Qi, should I leave him to you, or should I handle this?"
