Daozhen Fairy's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears.

Ziwei and the other geniuses were instantly enraged upon hearing this.

Ren Ran and Xie Wen are exceptionally talented and skilled, and are regarded as future Dao Ancestors, unparalleled geniuses who will hold the banner of Xuanhuang.

Jiang Ping has forged Chaos Body; his future potential is almost evident. How can they be compared to him?

"This brat is arrogant for now, let's see what happens in a few years."

One of the older folks couldn't help but hum in disapproval.

Ren Ran and Xie Wen are still young, less than half the age of the current Dao Monarch. If given two hundred years, all the so-called geniuses and prodigies will be surpassed and forever trampled underfoot.

"Ultimately, it's just a unit of measurement; it may have enjoyed temporary power, but it can't be number one forever."

Many elites in the Ziwei community disagreed.

This is the Ziwei Sacred Land; how could they possibly admit that their Saint Child is inferior to a stranger from humble origins?

Upon hearing Li Li couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Jiang Ping isn't much older than Ren Ran and the others."

She remembered Jiang Ping; at that time, his strength and realm were inferior to hers, and he had been belittled and humiliated by Tang Sheng.

In a short period of time, the opponent surpassed these peerless geniuses and beat Tang Sheng on Moon Star as easily as killing a chicken.

At that time, she also thought that the other party's cultivation of Ten Thousand Laws and creation of Chaos Body was very difficult, and that she had left him behind.

But when they met again, this woman was still as elegant as ever, and her skill level had reached the same level as hers, without falling behind at all.

This is a terrifying thing. The other party took the most difficult path, yet still reached the Peerless True Saint in a short time, far surpassing Senior Brother Lei Fang back then.

Daozhen Fairy surveyed the assembled heroes and laughed, "If you have any objections, feel free to descend the mountain and fight Brother Jiang. We, the pride of our generation, not only strive for the pinnacle of martial arts cultivation but also possess the strength to reign supreme in our respective fields."

Jiang Ping: "..."

Were these two women praising him, or were they stirring up his resentment?

He clearly sensed a significant change in the emotions emanating from the spear that he feared; the power it exuded was now much stronger.

At this moment, a long spear stretched across the sky, and the Dao Rhythm covered all directions.

It revealed a blurry old man's face, looking very gloomy.

For so many years, no one has ever dared to act so wildly in Ziwei Giant City. Yet this junior has killed two of Ziwei's greatest talents, which is simply a violation of the heavenly law.

"Ah!!"

Just then, a piercing scream echoed throughout the Giant City.

Li Buyu's Dao Sword Dao Hua was not apparent, appearing exceptionally dim.

It was a tragic situation; despite being a supreme Dao soldier, it was attacked and defeated by a lower cultivator.

Jiang Ping's casual attack plunged it into Life and Death crisis, its consciousness nearly extinguished.

Everyone looked up and saw that the silver longsword was emitting a large amount of golden light, as if it were bleeding.

This scene was extremely shocking. That was Supreme Artifact, yet it couldn't break through the seal of a True Saint and was instead gradually obliterated by him.

How strong must Jiang Ping be?

Many people had complicated expressions. Perhaps Ren Ran was indeed talented, but Daozhen's words were not without reason. In the Same Realm, who could compete with Jiang Ping?

Even the young Sword Ancestor would have to temporarily avoid his sharp edge.

The Ziwei prodigy snorted coldly, "It's not like Junior Sister Ren Ran is incapable of bullying a weapon that has just reached the Dao stage."

She was desperately trying to save face, attempting to Saint Ming the Saint Child of the Holy Land was not weak.

If classified according to the Dao Monarch level, that silver longsword is only at the First level of the Monarch Realm, belonging to the weakest category among Dao Monarch.

At this moment, without Daozhen Li Li's rebuttal, Jiang Ping coldly looked at her:

"Is that so? I'll stand right here. Does that mean I dare to descend the mountain and fight?"

If Ren Ran were truly willing to show herself, he would very much like to try and kill her.

After all, they killed two core members of the Dao Alliance. They really wanted to use a vice leader as a sacrifice to intimidate others.

However, these words provoked public outrage.

Ren Ran is in her early seventies and has already reached the Peak True Saint. In a few more years, she will be able to become the Samsara Female Monarch.

Such a person, in the mouth of this madman, is actually called a low-level cultivator?!

"Shameless madman, who knows when you'll ever be able to attain the title of Dao Monarch in this lifetime, yet you dare to humiliate a Female Monarch, the future Dao Ancestor?"

Many young geniuses glared angrily.

Ren Ran is exceptionally beautiful and is the ideal woman in many people's hearts; how can others belittle her like this?

When Jiang Ping looked over, these people felt as if they were standing on the edge of an abyss, their souls instantly frozen.

"Furious!"

The spearman couldn't sit still any longer. If he didn't make a move soon, Li Buyu's Dao soldiers would also be taken away by this person.

Moreover, if they choose to back down after the other party caused such a ruckus in Ziwei City, people will only think that Ziwei Mountain is easy to bully.

With a thunderous roar, the spear blazed forth, like a celestial halberd descending from the heavens; it spoke, like Heavenly Dao pronouncement:

"Thunder Punishment!"

The sky instantly changed color, and endless bolts of lightning struck Jiang Ping, each one as magnificent as a mountain.

This scene sent chills down the spines of all the prodigies.

This spear's power is so profound that it can make words become law; the moment a maxim is uttered, the heavens and earth collapse.

Jiang Ping's expression was solemn, as if facing True Saint Tribulation light; the old object was still too violent.

He circulated the scriptures, inhaled and exhaled Chaos Aura, and then displayed the Void Dao Method. Heaven and earth seemed to be torn apart, as if the path to the Other Shore had appeared, golden lotuses bloomed, and Daoist flowers covered the sky and the earth.

A gate to an unknown land opened, and a torrent of lightning entered it.

"Wind, rain, thunder, and lightning shall be punished."

The spear spoke again, without revealing its true strength, only using its cultivation level to suppress others, creating a terrifying scene that made Lei Fang extremely solemn.

The Four Symbols appear in the sky, thunder and lightning shatter the heavens, and wind and rain destroy the earth.

"This is the manifestation of a Mid-Rank Dao Monarch, like a master of a realm, commanding all phenomena, whose words become law."

Lei Fang said in a deep voice.

The Dao Monarch level is divided into nine layers, which can be roughly divided into three stages. Each breakthrough in a stage will result in a significant increase in strength.

He was confident he could rival any initial-level Dao Monarch, but he still had to back down when facing a mid-level Monarch.

Sulfuric acid!

A Heavenly Saber swept across the sky, formed from the Dao of Samsara, shrouded in Chaos Aura, its mysterious light flashing, comparable to the reappearance of the Samsara Dao Lord.

Jiang Ping quelled the wind and rain with a single stroke, and shattered the thunder and lightning with two.

However, the power of the Four Symbols is inexhaustible; the spear commands heaven and earth, and as long as heaven and earth exist, the Four Symbols will not perish.

Jiang Ping sensed the difficulty of the Heavenly Punishment, which was fierce and all-pervasive. He exhaled golden Dao Patterns, and a vast light shone brightly. This was Karmic Wonderful Method, which could circumvent all causes.

He used the Heavenly Saber to clear a path, avoided danger through Causality, and blocked disasters from the Void, intending to reverse the spear and push it across.

The spear trembled slightly, then spoke the proverb once more:

"Only I Am the Law!"

The world changed once again, as if the Earth-Severing Heaven-Penetration. Instantly, the martial artists in the area were shaken to their core, and a chill ran down their spines.

Daozhen Fairy's heart trembled, and she said in a deep voice, "This is the Dao-Severing Heavenly Edict, as if we are in the Age of Doomsday, where all laws and Order are useless."

The group of peerless geniuses were somewhat stunned. Was this the power of a Mid-Rank Dao Monarch? It was truly terrifying.

A single proverb can sever the laws of a region. They felt as if they had returned to the fifth or sixth realm, possessing only martial strength, their perception of the laws completely extinguished, unable to use even a trace of Magic Power.

A martial artist from the Three Thousand Solitary Graves of the North Nether looked surprised and murmured, "That smell is so familiar."

It was as if we had returned to that time when we were trapped on Isolated Island, with no clear path ahead and no way forward.

"Phew~"

Lei Fang inhaled and exhaled Chaos Aura, forcefully breaking through the seal of the prophecy. His Dao Light intensified, bathing him in the Origin Laws. He said, "No problem."

In mid-air, Jiang Ping gazed at the spear that seemed like a god disregarding all living beings, his face full of disdain:

"You want to control heaven and earth, and sever the Earth-Severing Heaven-Penetration? Do you have the strength?"

He inhaled and exhaled Chaos Aura, his mysterious light swirling around him, Dao Rhythm surged forth.

"In the beginning of Chaos Heaven Opening, from which all things evolved, to unleash the 'Only I Am the Law, Earth-Severing Heaven-Penetration,' you must first forge Chaos Body."

Long spear. "..."

Controlling a region is something only Mid-Rank Dao Monarch can achieve, and only then can one demonstrate the power of "Only I Am the Law".

Once unleashed, even the most powerful downward-strength attacks will have their Combat strength reduced.

Unfortunately, he encountered Chaos Body.

This is a constitution that can resonate with all things, but his world lacks the primordial chaos, so it cannot be stopped at all.

The spear sighed inwardly; it was ultimately Flawed, its control over heaven and earth weak, and its strength was only equivalent to the Peak the Third Level of Dao Monarch.

If it were in its complete form, it would undoubtedly be able to suppress this True Saint with its absolute power.

Of course, thinking about these random things is pointless.

In the next instant, the spear exuded boundless Dao Rhythm, and countless Runes filled the heavens and earth, converging into a great river of Life and Death.

This is a Heavenly Spear that controls the Order of Life-Death.

Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow. The Holy Land was still too authoritative. The Life-Death Sword he gave his daughter was not as good as this old object.

Or rather, this is a microcosm of the profound heritage of the South Heaven and the Divine Continent. It is a glimpse into the whole picture, and whether it is the quality of geniuses or the Supreme Artifacts, the Divine Continent Land is much stronger.

Thump!

The spear stirred the great forces of heaven and earth, lightning rippled across the night sky, and the Dao Rhythm surged like a vast, boundless ocean.

Enraged, it personally launched a devastating attack, using the law of Life-Death and death to annihilate Jiang Ping.

In an instant, the world turned upside down, the entire Giant City teetered on the brink of collapse, and the Star Sea and Life-Death burst its banks.

The spear stands like a king wielding the power of life Life and Death; it stands tall in this place, and all those who cultivate Life-Death are as if they were in the void of the Tao.

Jiang Ping remained unaffected. He gripped the silver longsword that was wiping out his consciousness and then charged forward.

With a bang, the two collided, like two blazing meteors colliding. Each ripple that spread out was like a celestial dragon passing through, enough to injure even the most powerful beings.

At the critical moment, the remaining Dao soldiers of Ziwei Mountain joined forces to create a Supreme Domain, blocking all the storms.

The martial artists were shocked. They witnessed an unimaginable battle. One of them was only at the True Saint stage, comparable to some of the others present, yet he displayed Combat strength as if a supreme Monarch had personally descended upon the scene.

Jiang Ping's Chaos Aura permeated heaven and earth, igniting the firmament and shaking the ten directions. Even his spear trembled, the laws of nature became disordered, and cracks appeared on his body.

But he himself was also in bad shape; blood was seeping from the corner of his mouth, and his hair was disheveled.

Fighting beings of the Same Realm is no problem, even those who have just entered the Dao Monarch. However, this old object possesses the might of Mid-Rank Dao Monarch, so its overall strength is not at that level, but it is very close.

This battle seemed evenly matched, but for the spearman, it was a humiliating defeat.

It stands high above, looking down upon the world, yet it has yet to capture a mere junior True Saint. If this were to become public, even the Ziwei Sacred Land would lose face.

"My I Live, You Die!"

The spear wielded Wonderful Method Life and Death, its power covering an entire region, causing all living beings below to feel as if they were in the Netherworld.

Fortunately, these techniques only apply to one person.

Jiang Ping felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy. He felt his entire body, flesh and blood, and lifespan were shaking, as if they were about to break free of his body, as if the spear was the true master of his being.

He quickly merged All Laws, protected his body with the Chaos Profound Light, and then inhaled and exhaled the black and white energies, performing the Yin and Yang transformation.

"Jiang Ping, I'll rub it."

My Past Self Body changed drastically; True Self had actually transferred the Life and Death attack from my opponent onto it.

Even though it is Dharma Body and has no concept of lifespan, it still suffered considerable damage.

Past Self hastily bathed in the surging torrent, inhaling and exhaling traces of the Dao within the Time Dao Chapter, to mend myself.

The spear in the sky froze, witnessing a horrifying scene.

An Incarnation that can't stay in place for long is actually healing itself?!

"There's no need for that. The <Years Sword Scripture> is extremely famous; it's a Past Self in the blink of an eye. It's better to let it dissipate and then reform it later."

Lei Fang, who had been watching the game the whole time, was also completely baffled.

This is the correct way to defuse the danger posed by the spear.

"Could this be the Dharma Body?"

Li Li suddenly said something, and she froze instantly.

"Dharma Body?!"

Daozhen and Lei Fang, along with other peerless geniuses, were all shocked and left bewildered in the wind.

That can't be right. How could a True Saint condense the illustrious Dharma Body Dao Monarch?

"Kill!"

The spear suddenly changed direction and struck at my Past Self Body.

Clearly, it doesn't believe anyone can depict the Dharma Body in the True Saint Realm and wants to explore its essence.

Ultimately, Jiang Ping, this junior, was far too extraordinary; the aura he displayed was even more terrifying than that of the long-established Lei Fang.

It Dharma Image the other party can gather the Dharma Body.

For a fleeting moment, it even felt a surge of excitement, as if eager to peel back the layers of mystery and uncover any earth-shattering truth.

Far from the battlefield Past Self Body's expression changed slightly; it hadn't expected the situation to turn so drastically, becoming the target of all fire.

Rumble!!

Enveloped in mist, the Past Self revealed its ferocious side; in terms of strength, it could even rival a spear.

This sent a jolt through Long Spear's heart; the Daoist arts of the Years Monarch were far too authoritative.

"The <Years Sword Scripture> can manifest the Past Self, and at the Dao Monarch level, it can also manifest the legendary Dao Self, each form stronger than the last."

Lei Fang murmured. He had also thought about comprehending this method, but he gave up because he felt it was too difficult. In the end, he chose the chaotic path of Ten Thousand Laws that no one could traverse.

Thinking of this, he looked at Jiang Ping with deep apprehension. The path of chaos, the power of time—neither path is easy to walk.

But the person before him cultivated both methods, with the <Years Sword Scripture> as his main scripture. Before he was even a hundred years old, his progress had caught up with his.

Such talent and perseverance are truly rare throughout history.

Just as he was stunned, an explosion rang out, and a piece of black gold slammed into the ground, petrifying everyone once again.

The spear originally intended to explore the Past Self Dharma Body, but it ended up being attacked by two Chaos Body. Although it did not explore the essence of the Past Self, it unexpectedly discovered another layer of truth.

With a resounding boom, the Great Dao played its melody, and all things came to a sudden halt.

The Time Scripture from the Qingling Palace.

This was the first time Jiang Ping had displayed this technique in public. He used the Power of Time with Chaos Aura, like a king who controlled the changes of time looking down on all living beings. As the laws unfolded, all things stopped at that moment.

At this moment, the spear's thoughts froze, its body trembled, and a violent storm raged within its mind.

"Time Stop!!"

When it recovered, its body had suffered an injury and was missing a piece.

Knock knock!

Tang Sheng's axe trembled violently, its emotions surging once more.

Just how many supreme and wondrous Wonderful Method has that young man practiced?
