nShen Tian slowly descended from the sky.

n

n

nAfter his Godfiend cultivation broke through to the Life Death Calamity realm, Shen Tian felt that his body strength was boundless.

n

n

n

n

nHis current physical body was as tough as Immortal Metal, indestructible.

n

n

nEven the best among Perfected Immortals couldn’t compare to him in terms of physical strength.

n

n

nThis time, his gains were huge!

n

n

nShen Tian’s gaze shifted to Shen Xiao.

n

n

n

n

nThe surface of Shen Xiao’s body blossomed with dazzling divine light. Divine light curled up around her, and her aura was grand and imposing.

n

n

nHer body became purer and holier, like fine white jade, looking otherworldly and exceptional.

n

n

nAt the same time, Shen Xiao’s aura was growing rapidly. She had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage, and her cultivation had increased tremendously.

n

n

nThis speed was unimaginable.

n

n

n

n

nA few days ago, Shen Xiao was still a mortal without any spiritual power.

n

n

nWith the support of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill and the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, her cultivation increased at a terrifying speed.

n

n

nNot only that, but Shen Xiao also cultivated the Chaotic Tinder Sutra and the Tinder Sutra.

n

n

nAs a result, the mysterious power of chaos burst forth from her body, vast and unfathomable.

n

n

nIt was a mutation caused by the combination of the Chaotic Tinder Sutra and the Tinder Sutra.

n

n

nHowever, this power was different from Shen Tian’s.

n

n

n

n

nAfter all, Shen Tian had a Chaotic Body and had long cultivated the Chaotic Tinder Sutra to perfection.

n

n

nOn the other hand, Shen Xiao only had an ordinary mortal body. Even after undergoing the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill’s transformation, she was still far from being comparable.

n

n

nNevertheless, Shen Tian didn’t mind. Instead, he was delighted.

n

n

nThis was because he noticed that the chaotic aura in Shen Xiao’s body was continuously strengthening under the support of the two supreme cultivation sutras.

n

n

nThe chaotic aura in her had already grown from a strand to a lump, and it was still increasing.

n

n

nThis was the miraculous effect of the Tinder Sutra.

n

n

nIn the future, if Shen Xiao could master this supreme cultivation sutra, she might be able to walk her own path.

n

n

nAfter all, these two ancient sutras had unlimited possibilities!

n

n

n

n

n…

n

n

nAt that moment, Shen Xiao slowly woke up. Her eyes flashed with confusion. Then, her gaze landed on Shen Tian, and she smiled.

n

n

nShen Xiao said, “Master, I feel a warm current in my body.”

n

n

nShen Tian smiled. “This is Spirit Qi. It can make you stronger!”

n

n

nHe simply explained some cultivation knowledge to Shen Xiao to help her cultivate.

n

n

nShen Xiao was overjoyed. She clenched her fists tightly and said, “Xiaoxiao will definitely cultivate well. She will be able to protect Master in the future!”

n

n

nShen Tian patted her head with a smile. “Let’s go, let’s leave this place first!”

n

n

nShen Xiao nodded, and the two left together.

n

n

n…

n

n

nThe two continued to travel in North Sea, trying to find the five regions’ forces.

n

n

nThey could see the Evil Spirits wreaking havoc everywhere along the way.

n

n

nSmoke rose from damaged ruins as the flames of war raged.

n

n

nMassacres could be seen everywhere. Corpses were strewn all over the place, and the people were in dire straits.

n

n

n

n

nThe Evil Spirit race had already invaded and started slaughtering the living beings of the five regions wantonly.

n

n

nShen Tian and Shen Xiao’s expressions turned icy when they saw this.

n

n

nThe blood in their bodies was boiling with rage.

n

n

nThe Evil Spirit race had no humanity to speak of. They didn’t even spare mortal children, turning countless regions into dead regions.

n

n

nShen Tian killed countless Evil Spirits as he walked.

n

n

nHowever, the more time passed, the more confused Shen Tian became.

n

n

nEven though this place was invaded by the Evil Spirit race, there were still cultivators from the five regions.

n

n

nBut among these five region cultivators, Shen Tian had never met anyone who looked familiar.

n

n

nThere were even many factions that he had never heard of before.

n

n

nShen Tian’s eyes burned as he muttered, “Which year have I transmigrated to? Could it be that my old friends have all passed away?”

n

n

nHe looked puzzled and confused. This place was too unfamiliar to him. He felt no sense of belonging here.

n

n

nHe planned on heading to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to see if he could find any clues.

n

n

n…

n

n

nAt that moment, a gigantic black screen of mist suddenly appeared in front of them, blotting out the sun.

n

n

nEvil aura overflowed into the sky and covered the entire region.

n

n

nThe black mist was extremely thick, and the evil aura it emitted was terrifying.

n

n

nBelow the black mist was a town.

n

n

nHowever, the town was devoid of life. Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and blood flowed like a river.

n

n

nThis place was too terrifying. It looked like an endless purgatory, making one’s blood run cold.

n

n

nShen Tian’s eyes were cold as he snorted. “It’s the Evil Spirit race again! It’s the top powerhouses of the Evil Spirit race!”

n

n

nThat aura was extremely evil. It had already reached the Sub-Immortal level.

n

n

nRumble!

n

n

nA sound rumbled, shaking heaven and earth.

n

n

nIn the black fog, an angry voice sounded. “Evil creature, you won’t even let mortals off!”

n

n

nFollowing this, a hoarse voice could be heard. “Hehe, Ao Lie, I knew you would come. You’ve ruined the Evil Spirit race’s plans time and time again. We can’t let you live! Today, I will extract your soul and offer it to Lord Sacred Spirit!”

n

n

nAn incomparably violent power came from within the evil fog. The two of them collided, and their might shot straight into the nine heavens.

n

n

nShen Tian’s eyes narrowed, and a divine light flickered in them. He activated his Connate Heavenly Dao eyes to see through the illusions and discovered two figures fighting in the evil mist.

n

n

nOne of them was dressed in gray robes and was shrouded by an evil aura. Evidently, he was a Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit. His aura was vast and boundless, controlling the endless evil energy and covering the sky.

n

n

nAnd opposite him was the man named Ao Lie.

n

n

nHe wore dragon armor battle clothes and held the Nine Revolutions Dragon God Spear in his hand. His aura was earth-shattering.

n

n

nAo Lie stood tall between heaven and earth, causing the void near him to turn chaotic. He was like an exceptional War King, suppressing the heavens, his divine might matchless.

n

n

n…

n

n

nShen Tian’s eyes lit up. He could sense that Ao Lie was only a Ten Tribulation Great Sage.

n

n

nA Ten Tribulation cultivator actually dared to go head-on against a Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit!

n

n

nCould it be that he was a top heavenly talent that rose up in the later generations?

n

n

nMeanwhile, the two of them had already started fighting.

n

n

n“Kill!”

n

n

nAo Lie let loose a soft cry as he picked up the Nine Revolutions Dragon God Spear and stepped forward.

n

n

nIn an instant, a terrifying divine might swept out.

n

n

nCountless splashes of water surged as the might of the attack could be felt even three thousand kilometers away.

n

n

nAo Lie brandished his spear, the spear light matchless, piercing through the sky.

n

n

nHowever, the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit had a calm expression as he waved his hand.

n

n

nEndless nefarious qi gathered into a monstrous evil hand that smashed apart heaven and earth, causing the spear light to fade away.

n

n

n“Dragon From A Spear!”

n

n

nAo Lie harrumphed coldly as he leaped into the air. Boundless divine might burst forth from the tip of his spear.

n

n

nThe spear was like a dragon as it descended from the sky.

n

n

nIt seemed to cause the world to be overturned.

n

n

nIn an instant, the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit was pierced through, and a huge hole appeared in his chest, an evil aura flowing out of it.

n

n

nAt that moment, the void surged.

n

n

nAnother Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit walked out and attacked Ao Lie from behind.

n

n

nBoom!

n

n

nAo Lie retreated, blood flowing from the corners of his lips.

n

n

nThe Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit smiled sinisterly. “Killing a single paragon is equivalent to massacring countless lives!”

n

n

nHe clenched his right hand, and a blood-red blade appeared. It was bright red and filled with evil power.

n

n

nThis was an Immortal Evil Weapon that was refined from a human’s life. It was extremely evil.

n

n

nThe Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit brandished his evil saber and engaged in battle with Ao Lie.

n

n

nAt the same time, another Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit surrounded them and attacked together.

n

n

nClang!

n

n

nThe sword and spear clashed, and sparks flew everywhere.

n

n

nAlthough Ao Lie was powerful, he was unable to handle two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits at once.

n

n

nIn just a short moment, he was forced back repeatedly.

n

n

n“Die!”

n

n

nThe Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit brandished his great blade, wishing to cut him in half.

n

n

n“Awo!”

n

n

nA dragon roar suddenly resounded through the air!

n

n

nAo Lie transformed into a black dragon that spanned tens of thousands of feet as he soared into the sky. His might was terrifying.

n

n

nHe brandished his sharp dragon claws and tore through the void, charging toward the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit.

n

n

nBoom!

n

n

nIn an instant, the sky shattered!

n

n

nThe gigantic dragon claw blotted out the sky and the sun. Its claw was like a hot knife that cut through butter as it tore off the flesh on the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit’s chest, causing blood to flow.

n

n

nShen Tian’s eyes brightened.

n

n

nAo Lie was from the Black Dragon race.

n

n

nCould he be a surviving descendant of Black Dragon Island?

n

n

nThen, Shen Tian discovered that Ao Lie wasn’t simply from Black Dragon Island.

n

n

nThe dragon bloodline in his body was rich to the extreme. He had already become a Rank-12 Black Dragon!

n

n

nThis was truly inconceivable!

n

n

nOne had to know that the strongest bloodline on Black Dragon Island was only a Rank-9 Black Dragon.

n

n

nOf course, this didn’t include Shen Tian’s Dragon God Physique.

n

n

nHis Dragon God Physique was far from what a Rank-12 Black Dragon bloodline could compare to.

n

n

nApart from that, Ao Lie’s physique far exceeded all the geniuses on Black Dragon Island.

n

n

n…

n

n

nThe Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit roared in the sky, “Damn it! How dare you injure my holy body!”

n

n

n“Die!”

n

n

nThe Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit had a ferocious look on his face as he placed the blood saber on his wound, staining it with evil blood.

n

n

nInstantly, a bloody glow shot out. It was horrifying and burst forth with incomparably terrifying power.

n

n

nBlood energy lingered in the nine heavens, causing the world to change color.

n

n

nThe Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit’s aura turned berserk, and terrifying phenomena appeared around its body, causing one’s heart to palpitate.

n

n

nAt the same time, the other Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit also used endless evil arts to summon countless evil demons, charging toward him.

n

n

nAo Lie’s expression changed slightly. He could only brace himself and charge forward.

n

n

nThe three of them instantly engaged in a fierce battle. They exchanged thousands of blows, and the terrifying power behind their blows shattered the void.

n

n

nIn the end, Ao Lie was unable to resist it and was blasted back, causing him to fly backward for a thousand kilometers.

n

n

nHis face was pale as he gnashed his teeth, his expression filled with unwillingness.

n

n

nThe two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits slowly walked over, sneering. “It’s over!”

n

n

nThey brandished their blood sabers, preparing to end Ao Lie’s life.

n

n

n…

n

n

nOutside, Shen Tian happened to see this scene. He turned around and said to Shen Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, wait for me here!”

n

n

nAfter he finished speaking, Shen Tian lightly flicked his sleeves, and a chaotic aura swept out, protecting Shen Xiao.

n

n

nThen, he leaped out, rushing into the black mist.

n

n

nAfter all, Ao Lie was from Black Dragon Island. Shen Tian had a close relationship with the Black Dragon Island, so he naturally had to lend a hand.

n

n

nAt the same time, he wanted to understand the situation of the five regions.

n

n

nAo Lie was quite powerful, so he should know quite a bit.

n

n

nShen Tian appeared before Ao Lie on a divine rainbow.

n

n

nThe two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits couldn’t help but narrow their eyes at Shen Tian’s terrifying speed.

n

n

n“Who are you?”

n

n

nThe two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits’ expressions froze as they revealed wary expressions.

n

n

nAo Lie was stunned when he saw Shen Tian appear. He reminded him, “Fellow Daoist, be careful. These two are very savage.”

n

n

nAo Lie had no idea how powerful Shen Tian was.

n

n

nBut in his memory, he remembered that there was no top powerhouse in North Sea.

n

n

n“Who cares who he is? Kill him together!”

n

n

nOne of the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits harrumphed coldly as he swung his blood saber toward Shen Tian.

n

n

nShen Tian’s expression didn’t change. He slowly raised his right hand and smashed forward.

n

n

nThe sky and earth seem to sink as the void was annihilated.

n

n

nEndless starlight lingered around Shen Tian’s fist. Like a hot knife through butter, it descended upon the two Evil Spirits.

n

n

nThis strike could easily wipe out weaker Perfected Immortals.

n

n

nThe Evil Spirit was horrified and couldn’t react at all.

n

n

nIn an instant, both his body and saber were crushed into powder by Shen Tian, completely annihilated.

n

n

n“Uh…”

n

n

nThe other Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit cried out in horror as his expression changed drastically. He was utterly horrified.

n

n

nHe did not expect this person to be so powerful.

n

n

nHe had killed his companion so easily.

n

n

n“Run!”

n

n

nThe only thought that emerged in the Evil Spirit’s mind was to escape immediately.

n

n

nThis person was too terrifying, completely impossible for him to go against.

n

n

nHe leaped into the air, and the evil mist within his body exploded as he fled into the distance.

n

n

nThe Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit was horrified. He did not hesitate to expend his life source to escape.

n

n

nHowever, Shen Tian wouldn’t give him the chance.

n

n

nHe spoke indifferently. His voice was like the profound voice of the Heavenly Dao, without any emotions.

n

n

n“Die!”

n

n

nWith just a single word, the sky cracked.

n

n

nEndless laws condensed into a monstrous killing formation that shot into the sky.

n

n

nAn incomparably strong power swept out, trapping the Evil Spirit within.

n

n

nThis was the power of a domain formation.

n

n

nCountless laws descended and transformed into sharp divine weapons that instantly pierced through the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit.

n

n

nIn just a breath’s time, the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit’s body exploded. It turned into a bloody mist. Even his soul was completely annihilated.

n

n

n…

n

n

nAo Lie was dumbstruck.

n

n

n“F*ck… This guy is too fierce!”

n

n

nHe was so shocked that he was speechless.

n

n

nAo Lie had never seen anyone kill a Sub-Immortal so easily.

n

n

nThis was not some random cabbage on the street. It was definitely a top-notch expert!

n

n

nIn the end, it had died just like that?

n

n

nHow terrifying!

n

n

n…

n

n

nShen Tian slowly turned to Ao Lie. “Where are you from?”

n

n

nHe wanted to know if Ao Lie was the successor of Black Dragon Island.

n

n

nWere there any survivors from those powers?

n

n

nAo Lie was stunned when he saw Shen Tian’s face.

n

n

nHe had never seen such a peerless handsome man before. He was like an otherworldly immortal with peerless elegance.

n

n

n“Er… Fellow Daoist! My name is Ao Lie. I’m the Crown Prince of the Dragon God Palace,” replied Ao Lie.

n

n

nShen Tian had a solemn expression and was puzzled.

n

n

nDragon God Palace? Why wasn’t it Black Dragon Island?

n

n

nCould it be that Black Dragon Island would be destroyed in the future?

n

n

nShen Tian’s heart sank. He did not know what had happened during this time gap, causing such a huge change in the five regions.

n

n

nHowever, Shen Tian had to find the reason for all this in this trip and change it as much as possible.

n

n

nAo Lie scratched his head in confusion.

n

n

n“Fellow Daoist, have you never heard of the Dragon God Palace?”

n

n

nThe Dragon God Palace was the strongest force in North Sea, and its name shook the five regions.

n

n

nHow was that possible? Did anyone not know?

n

n

nShen Tian slowly shook his head, deep in thought.

n

n

nAo Lie rubbed his nose. “May I know how to address you?”

n

n

n“Shen… Shen Yuan!”

n

n

nShen Tian paused. He originally wanted to say his real name, but at this moment, the Kunlun Mirror sent out a transmission.

n

n

nWhen one transmigrated to the past, present, and future, they must not leave behind their true name. Otherwise, it would cause karma to be attached to them, causing unpredictable changes.

n

n

nHence, Shen Tian randomly chose a fake name.

n

n

nYeah.

n

n

nHe had just changed two letters of his name.

n

n

n“Shen Yuan?”

n

n

nAo Lie raised his brows. He had never heard of this name before.

n

n

nBut looking at Shen Tian’s age, he should be around the same age as him.

n

n

nCould it be that he was a peerless genius of some great power that lived in seclusion?

n

n

nWith this in mind, Ao Lie turned enthusiastic. He laughed heartily and said, “Brother Shen Yuan, you are so powerful. Are you also participating in Middle Ground’s Prodigy Competition?”

n

n

nShen Tian asked, “The Prodigy Competition?”

n

n

nAo Lie was slightly taken aback. “You don’t know?”

n

n

nShen Tian shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.

n

n

nAo Lie’s expression was filled with astonishment and disbelief.

n

n

nNo way!

n

n

nWho in the five regions does not know about the Prodigy Competition?

n

n

nCould it be that this person really came from a certain cave?

n

n

n…

n

n

nAo Lie came to a realization.

n

n

nShen Tian did not know anything about the five regions and clearly had no contact with them.

n

n

nMoreover, Ao Lie had heard of the top geniuses of the five regions, but he had never heard of Shen Yuan’s name.

n

n

nPerhaps Brother Shen Yuan had really been in seclusion until now.

n

n

nAo Lie explained, “The Middle Ground sacred grounds are holding a Prodigy Competition, and they have invited all the geniuses of the five regions to participate in it.

n

n

n“For one, it’s an exchange of pointers.

n

n

n“At the same time, it’s also to discuss how to resist the invasion of the Evil Spirits.

n

n

n“The news has long spread throughout the five regions, and countless geniuses yearn to participate in this event.

n

n

n“The reason for that is because many exceptional geniuses will appear this time around.

n

n

n“Everyone will gather together to spar and compete there and determine who’s the strongest!”

n

n

nShen Tian’s interest was piqued.

n

n

n“Who are the peerless geniuses?”

n

n

nHe wanted to see if he could meet the descendants of his old friends.

n

n

nAo Lie said with a smile, “Many freaks have appeared this time.

n

n

n“For example, Sheng Yangxu, the Great Void Saint, has long cultivated the void techniques to the peak of perfection.

n

n

n“Reportedly, when he was born, he held the Void Mirror in his hand.

n

n

n“This is an unparalleled great artifact. It can control the world and the void, capable of destroying a large area of territory at once.

n

n

n“There’s also the ancient family’s descendant who was born with dicoria, Xiang Chonglou. He possesses the innate dicoria and is a natural-born sovereign who has comprehended the World-Extinguishing Pupil Light.

n

n

n“The moment he was born, he had the bearing of a Sage.

n

n

n“There’s also the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s Jiang Taiyi. He was born with the ability to control lightning and can control the Divine Lightning present in the heavens and earth since birth.

n

n

n“It’s said that his mother became pregnant after stepping on the footprint of the Reze Behemoth, and thus on the day of his birth, endless Divine Lightning filled the sky.

n

n

n“Additionally, the Jade Void Palace produced someone with a Connate Constitution, named Wang Xuzi, who had comprehended 90% of the world’s laws.

n

n

n“These are all the human geniuses whose names shook the five regions. They are extremely powerful.”

n

n

nUpon saying that, Ao Lie sighed inwardly.

n

n

nThe human race had a large population. Naturally, they could produce many peerless geniuses.

n

n

nHowever, Ao Lie also wanted to fight for the demons.

n

n

nHe said proudly, “Other than the paragons of the human race, the other races are also full of powerful people.

n

n

n“For example, young Kun Peng that was born with Yin-Yang wings is said to be a descendant of an ancient ferocious beast.

n

n

n“There’s also Huang Jiutian from the Undead Phoenix race. It’s said that she’s the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix…”

n

n

nThe more Ao Lie spoke, the more excited he became.

n

n

nThe thought of being able to compete with these peerless geniuses excited him greatly.

n

n

n…

n

n

nAo Lie’s words shocked Shen Tian. He had never heard of such names.

n

n

nHowever, there were some familiar powers that caught Shen Tian’s attention.

n

n

nFor example, the Great Void Sacred Ground and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were from his era.

n

n

nCould it be that his legacy was still there?

n

n

nPerhaps Shen Tian could use this Prodigy Competition to find his old friend.

n

n

nAt once, he became interested in the Prodigy Competition.

n

n

nShen Tian asked, “Where is the Prodigy Competition going to be held?”

n

n

nAo Lie replied, “Middle Ground’s Heavenly Gate Mountain!

n

n

n“Brother Shen Yuan, let’s leave quickly! Otherwise, the Prodigy Competition will begin without us.”

n

n

nAo Lie urged. There were only a few days until the Prodigy Competition.

n

n

nHe had been focused on killing Evil Spirits all along the way and had already wasted too much time.

n

n

nShen Tian’s expression was impassive. “It doesn’t matter. I have an idea.”

n

n

nHis sleeves fluttered as divine light lingered around him.

n

n

nThe void distorted, dazzling runes appearing between heaven and earth.

n

n

nThese runes were dazzling and resplendent. They carried the power of heaven and earth as they formed a great domain formation.

n

n

nSoon, a huge void passageway appeared in front of him.

n

n

nAo Lie stood rooted to the ground in shock. He discovered that Shen Tian had too many secrets. So many to the point he couldn’t imagine how powerful Shen Tian was.

n

n

nWith a wave of his hand, he could set up a domain teleportation formation.

n

n

nThis ability was simply too terrifying!

n

n

n…

n

n

nAo Lie sighed inwardly.

n

n

nShen Tian’s strength could also be called abnormal. He wondered who was stronger and weaker when Shen Tian was compared to those monstrous geniuses.

n

n

nTo be able to sit with these people and discuss the Dao, it’s really exciting just thinking about it!

n
