The Might of a Single Punch

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The jet-black stick suddenly sprang to life, emanating heavy breaths from its body.

A Law Treasure is breathing.

Within this Law Treasure resided a colossal Primordial Spirit, but its consciousness had been obliterated by Chen Xiao, leaving only a pure Primordial Spirit shell.

At this moment, Chen Xiao's Nascent Soul had reached the Out-of-Body Realm, possessing the ability to leave Purple Mansion Dantian and travel the world. As long as Chen Xiao uses his nascent soul to enter the Nascent Soul, seizes the enormous Primordial Spirit, and makes it his own, and then uses the method of condensing Second Primordial Spirit and External Incarnation to condense it, he can turn this stick into his Second Primordial Spirit.

Moreover, the Second Primordial Spirit protecting the Nascent Soul is much safer than the Nascent Soul being inside the body. Although the main body of this staff is a low-grade Spirit Artifact, its strength even surpasses that of ordinary immortal weapons.

This Law Treasure was crafted by an ancient Great Immortal.

Boom!

Chen Xiao's Nascent Soul transformed into a streak of purple lightning, piercing into the stick and devouring the massive Primordial Spirit within.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The next moment, this completely black magical Law Treasure, covered in stars, began to tremble violently and constantly change.

Suddenly, streaks of silver starlight flashed from the stick, illuminating Chen Xiao's Dantian.

A moment later, the silver light dissipated, and a man dressed in a black star-patterned robe with a face as sharp as if chopped by an axe appeared in Chen Xiao's Dantian, replacing Chen Xiao's original Nascent Soul.

The man's face was exactly like the one Chen Xiao knew from his previous life— the Staff Daoist. However, now, his identity was Chen Xiao's senior brother, Shen Xiao!

"Crimson Cloud swirl and take over."

Once the second incarnation was formed, Chen Xiao did not hesitate at all. He directly poured the Crimson Cloud from his Dantian into it, making it his source. At this moment, Chen Xiao's Nascent Soul had completely merged with the second incarnation, becoming inseparable. This second incarnation was Chen Xiao's Nascent Soul!

Moreover, the Second Primordial Spirit, External Incarnation, has another use: it can freely switch between itself and the main body.

"A body made of a low-grade Spirit Artifact. It's indeed powerful; at least its physical strength is a hundred times that of my original body!"

Chen Xiao sensed the condition of his Second Primordial Spirit briefly and felt a surge of joy.

The Second Primordial Spirit and Chen Xiao's original body share the same consciousness; both are Chen Xiao, but one is the original body and the other is an avatar.

With the formation of his Second Primordial Spirit, Chen Xiao's strength increased once again. Combined with the improvement in his true strength, Chen Xiao's power was almost ten times that of before!

Not only that, upon reaching the first stage of the Orange Cloud Realm, he immediately gained control over the Tribulation of Ascension for cultivators. In the Immortal World, the Lower Realm, and even other worlds, the names of all cultivators in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm immediately appeared on the second page of the Thunder Virtue Heavenly Book.

At the same time, Chen Xiao also gained control of seven new types of lightning tribulations.

Bang!

Just as Chen Xiao Chen in his breakthrough, Shi Chou had already retracted the wounded giant hand. He then swung the black coffin down at Chen Xiao's head.

Chen Xiao sensed danger approaching. He hurriedly opened his eyes and manipulated a strange spiritual sense with both hands. The next moment, his main body entered the body of his Second Primordial Spirit, Second Primordial Spirit manifested.

Boom!

As soon as the Second Primordial Spirit emerged, it immediately attacked, slamming a punch into the massive black coffin.

The surrounding air emitted a series of terrifying explosions, and a perfect vacuum was formed within a radius of three miles!

Puff!

Shi Chou felt a heavy force coming from the giant coffin in his hand, and his body was sent flying backward.

In contrast, Chen Xiao stood firmly in the void, unshaken.

However, at this moment, the crimson mist surrounding Chen Xiao's body gradually dissipated, and Shen Xiao's true appearance appeared before everyone.

His face was cold and stern, his gaze sharp, and his black star-patterned robe made him look imposing and unapproachable.

"The Body Integration Realm! This Shen Xiao has been playing dumb all along; he's not even in the Nascent Soul Realm!"

At that moment, someone immediately noticed something amiss.

"However, the Body Integration Realm is weaker than the Mahayana Realm, so there's no such thing as 'pretending to be weak to take advantage of others'."

Once Chen Xiao's Second Primordial Spirit takes form, it will be at the Body Integration Realm, which is two realms higher than his original body.

Therefore, at this time, no one dared to associate Shen Xiao with Chen Xiao, not even the lazy young master of the Mo Family, who was somewhat surprised.

Shi Chou's body flew backward for a full hundred feet before he was able to dissipate the immense force of the recoil and stabilize his body.

"So strong!"

A hoarse voice came from Shi Chou's mouth, but there was no sign of dejection in his expression; instead, there was a vibrant fighting spirit.

"At this time, Shi Chou has not reached the peak of his previous life, and he doesn't even have the strength he had when he first faced Lan Qianling... Lan Qianling, the Blue Family... Hehe."

Suddenly, a playful smile appeared on Chen Xiao's lips.

"Shi Chou, though you are strong, you are no match for me."

Chen Xiao stood proudly in the air, his eyes, as bright as stars, coldly looking at Shi Chou.

"Yes, I am no match for you."

Shi Chou's voice had become hoarse. His gaze toward Chen Xiao held a trace of respect, but more so, a fighting spirit.

"I lost this time, but I will definitely beat you next time."

Having said that, Shi Chou didn't reply, turned around and walked out of the Void Mustard Seed Space.

Chen Xiao slowly breathed a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, he took the fragments of the Illusionary Demon Canopy that were constantly flashing in mid-air into his hand.

"Hmm? A cassock?"

When he held the fragment of the Illusionary Demon Canopy in his hand, he was slightly taken aback. He discovered that after he activated the essence of this Law Treasure and it exploded, it actually transformed into a cassock.

"Wait, why did this immortal artifact advance in rank after I extracted its essence and merit?"

The next moment, Chen Xiao's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the cassock in his hand.

"The cassock, a ninth-grade immortal artifact, although it has lost its offensive capabilities, is an extremely powerful defensive Law Treasure... This..."

Chen Xiao frowned slightly and immediately contacted the Golden Immortal Kingdom.

At this moment, within a space of the Golden Immortal Kingdom, there were already hundreds of immortals, or even illusory Void Immortal at the Mahayana Realm.

Apart from a very few individuals who were captured by Chen Xiao, all of these people were residents of Moon City who were captured by Nalan Liuchi, a half-step Golden Immortal from the Nalan Family, using his Qiankun Bag.

However, although these people were innocent, Chen Xiao had no intention of letting them go. The fewer people who knew the secrets of the Golden Immortal Kingdom, the better; the matter was far too important.

Although the Glazed Heaven Palace knew that Chen Xiao possessed the inheritance of the Talisman Treasure Immortal, no one really knew what the inheritance actually was. Otherwise, something like the Golden Immortal Kingdom would have been directly taken back by the Glazed Heaven Palace.

"Huiye!"

Chen Xiao's voice rang in Huiye's ears.

"Immeasurable Merit Buddha! This humble monk Huiye, greets young master."

Huiye was now completely submissive to Chen Xiao. She dared not harbor any disloyal thoughts. Chen Xiao had subdued her with the power of heavenly tribulation, and from many clues, she had already guessed Chen Xiao's identity. Therefore, she was now peacefully cultivating and chanting Buddhist scriptures in the Golden Immortal Golden Immortal Kingdom.

"I ask you, how did the original merit within the Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy transform into a ninth-grade immortal artifact after it was extracted?"

Without hesitation, Chen Xiao asked directly.

"Buddha of Immeasurable Merit! This humble monk does not know either."

Huiye shook her head blankly.

Chen Xiao frowned slightly, withdrew his Divine Sense from the Golden Immortal Kingdom, and then his body moved slightly, transforming into a stream of light and arriving in front of Ao Xie and Feng Xuan.

"Young Master?"

Feng Xuan asked hesitantly, already keenly aware that the person in front of him was definitely not Chen Xiao, who had just entered.

"Don't be surprised. I have already absorbed the merits from that Golden Sand Illusion Demon Canopy and broken through my cultivation level. This is my Second Primordial Spirit, External Incarnation, which is also the true Shen Xiao. Don't let the two of you let it slip later."

Chen Xiao instructed telepathically, "Of course." His telepathic communication was directly transmitted through the Thunder Virtue Heavenly Book, making it impossible for outsiders to detect even a fraction of it.

At this moment, the other immortals around him took a slight step back upon seeing Chen Xiao's arrival.

"Shen Xiao...?"

At that moment, a timid voice rang out beside Chen Xiao.

"Um?"

Chen Xiao turned his head and saw a girl wearing a red shirt, who looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with a pretty and cute face, looking at him timidly with her big, watery eyes.

"I want to sell you some things in exchange for some Heavenly Mystery Spirit Pill."

The girl was none other than Xu Miao, the Red Capital City Lord's Mansion's Mansion whom Chen Xiao had met when he entered the city. However, having witnessed Chen Xiao's methods just now, Xu Miao no longer dared to be as arrogant as Chen Xiao, and instead asked timidly.

"Oh? And why did you come to me?"

Chen Xiao, feigning ignorance, asked with a smile.

"You... I... you're not him?"

Suddenly, Xu Miao seemed to realize something?

"Hehe, I see." Chen Xiao chuckled insincerely, then said, "Sure enough, it's my mischievous junior brother who's caused me trouble again."

Without asking any questions, Chen Xiao tossed a ring to Xu Miao with a wave of his hand.

"Here is one million Heavenly Mystery Spirit Pill, take them."

"Huh?"

Not only was Xu Miao, but even the immortals around them were taken aback.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Xu Miao's face flushed red. She immediately took the Storage Ring that Chen Xiao threw to her, put it in her pocket, thanked him, and ran off happily.

The moment Xu Miao left, another stream of merit merged into Chen Xiao's body. However, now that Chen Xiao's cultivation had improved, the small amount of merit was of little use to him.

"You are Shen Xiao? Isn't the one in the Qiankun Treasure Pavilion you?"

At this moment, someone couldn't help but ask.

"The Qiankun Treasure Pavilion?"

Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback, then burst into laughter. "It's me, that person is naturally me, how could it not be me?"

"Everyone, don't forget your previous promises!"

After Chen Xiao said this, the people around him understood a little.

"Chen Xiao, that person must be Chen Xiao! This guy in front of us, maybe he jumped out because of Shi Chou's challenge earlier!"

"However, it's rumored that Chen Xiao, the third young master of Moon-Gazing City, is a complete wastrel, but his demeanor just now... indeed, Chen Xiao has an extremely powerful force supporting him."

The first update of the day is here!

Whew, the train is on the 2nd, so I can't update during the day. I'll just stay up all night tonight.

I'd appreciate it if you could give me some monthly votes, thank you everyone!
