Shen Tian slowly descended from the sky.
After his Godfiend cultivation broke through to the Life Death Calamity realm, Shen Tian felt that his body strength was boundless.
His current physical body was as tough as Immortal Metal, indestructible.
Even the best among Perfected Immortals couldn’t compare to him in terms of physical strength.
This time, his gains were huge!
Shen Tian’s gaze shifted to Shen Xiao.
The surface of Shen Xiao’s body blossomed with dazzling divine light. Divine light curled up around her, and her aura was grand and imposing.
Her body became purer and holier, like fine white jade, looking otherworldly and exceptional.
At 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.
This speed was unimaginable.
A few days ago, Shen Xiao was still a mortal without any spiritual power.
With the support of the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill and the Chaotic Tinder Sutra, her cultivation increased at a terrifying speed.
Not only that, but Shen Xiao also cultivated the Chaotic Tinder Sutra and the Tinder Sutra.
As a result, the mysterious power of chaos burst forth from her body, vast and unfathomable.
It was a mutation caused by the combination of the Chaotic Tinder Sutra and the Tinder Sutra.
However, this power was different from Shen Tian’s.
After all, Shen Tian had a Chaotic Body and had long cultivated the Chaotic Tinder Sutra to perfection.
On 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.
Nevertheless, Shen Tian didn’t mind. Instead, he was delighted.
This 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.
The chaotic aura in her had already grown from a strand to a lump, and it was still increasing.
This was the miraculous effect of the Tinder Sutra.
In the future, if Shen Xiao could master this supreme cultivation sutra, she might be able to walk her own path.
After all, these two ancient sutras had unlimited possibilities!
…
At that moment, Shen Xiao slowly woke up. Her eyes flashed with confusion. Then, her gaze landed on Shen Tian, and she smiled.
Shen Xiao said, “Master, I feel a warm current in my body.”
Shen Tian smiled. “This is Spirit Qi. It can make you stronger!”
He simply explained some cultivation knowledge to Shen Xiao to help her cultivate.
Shen 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!”
Shen Tian patted her head with a smile. “Let’s go, let’s leave this place first!”
Shen Xiao nodded, and the two left together.
…
The two continued to travel in North Sea, trying to find the five regions’ forces.
They could see the Evil Spirits wreaking havoc everywhere along the way.
Smoke rose from damaged ruins as the flames of war raged.
Massacres could be seen everywhere. Corpses were strewn all over the place, and the people were in dire straits.
The Evil Spirit race had already invaded and started slaughtering the living beings of the five regions wantonly.
Shen Tian and Shen Xiao’s expressions turned icy when they saw this.
The blood in their bodies was boiling with rage.
The Evil Spirit race had no humanity to speak of. They didn’t even spare mortal children, turning countless regions into dead regions.
Shen Tian killed countless Evil Spirits as he walked.
However, the more time passed, the more confused Shen Tian became.
Even though this place was invaded by the Evil Spirit race, there were still cultivators from the five regions.
But among these five region cultivators, Shen Tian had never met anyone who looked familiar.
There were even many factions that he had never heard of before.
Shen Tian’s eyes burned as he muttered, “Which year have I transmigrated to? Could it be that my old friends have all passed away?”
He looked puzzled and confused. This place was too unfamiliar to him. He felt no sense of belonging here.
He planned on heading to the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground to see if he could find any clues.
…
At that moment, a gigantic black screen of mist suddenly appeared in front of them, blotting out the sun.
Evil aura overflowed into the sky and covered the entire region.
The black mist was extremely thick, and the evil aura it emitted was terrifying.
Below the black mist was a town.
However, the town was devoid of life. Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and blood flowed like a river.
This place was too terrifying. It looked like an endless purgatory, making one’s blood run cold.
Shen 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!”
That aura was extremely evil. It had already reached the Sub-Immortal level.
Rumble!
A sound rumbled, shaking heaven and earth.
In the black fog, an angry voice sounded. “Evil creature, you won’t even let mortals off!”
Following 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!”
An incomparably violent power came from within the evil fog. The two of them collided, and their might shot straight into the nine heavens.
Shen 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.
One 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.
And opposite him was the man named Ao Lie.
He wore dragon armor battle clothes and held the Nine Revolutions Dragon God Spear in his hand. His aura was earth-shattering.
Ao 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.
…
Shen Tian’s eyes lit up. He could sense that Ao Lie was only a Ten Tribulation Great Sage.
A Ten Tribulation cultivator actually dared to go head-on against a Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit!
Could it be that he was a top heavenly talent that rose up in the later generations?
Meanwhile, the two of them had already started fighting.
“Kill!”
Ao Lie let loose a soft cry as he picked up the Nine Revolutions Dragon God Spear and stepped forward.
In an instant, a terrifying divine might swept out.
Countless splashes of water surged as the might of the attack could be felt even three thousand kilometers away.
Ao Lie brandished his spear, the spear light matchless, piercing through the sky.
However, the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit had a calm expression as he waved his hand.
Endless nefarious qi gathered into a monstrous evil hand that smashed apart heaven and earth, causing the spear light to fade away.
“Dragon From A Spear!”
Ao Lie harrumphed coldly as he leaped into the air. Boundless divine might burst forth from the tip of his spear.
The spear was like a dragon as it descended from the sky.
It seemed to cause the world to be overturned.
In 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.
At that moment, the void surged.
Another Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit walked out and attacked Ao Lie from behind.
Boom!
Ao Lie retreated, blood flowing from the corners of his lips.
The Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit smiled sinisterly. “Killing a single paragon is equivalent to massacring countless lives!”
He clenched his right hand, and a blood-red blade appeared. It was bright red and filled with evil power.
This was an Immortal Evil Weapon that was refined from a human’s life. It was extremely evil.
The Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit brandished his evil saber and engaged in battle with Ao Lie.
At the same time, another Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit surrounded them and attacked together.
Clang!
The sword and spear clashed, and sparks flew everywhere.
Although Ao Lie was powerful, he was unable to handle two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits at once.
In just a short moment, he was forced back repeatedly.
“Die!”
The Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit brandished his great blade, wishing to cut him in half.
“Awo!”
A dragon roar suddenly resounded through the air!
Ao Lie transformed into a black dragon that spanned tens of thousands of feet as he soared into the sky. His might was terrifying.
He brandished his sharp dragon claws and tore through the void, charging toward the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit.
Boom!
In an instant, the sky shattered!
The 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.
Shen Tian’s eyes brightened.
Ao Lie was from the Black Dragon race.
Could he be a surviving descendant of Black Dragon Island?
Then, Shen Tian discovered that Ao Lie wasn’t simply from Black Dragon Island.
The dragon bloodline in his body was rich to the extreme. He had already become a Rank-12 Black Dragon!
This was truly inconceivable!
One had to know that the strongest bloodline on Black Dragon Island was only a Rank-9 Black Dragon.
Of course, this didn’t include Shen Tian’s Dragon God Physique.
His Dragon God Physique was far from what a Rank-12 Black Dragon bloodline could compare to.
Apart from that, Ao Lie’s physique far exceeded all the geniuses on Black Dragon Island.
…
The Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit roared in the sky, “Damn it! How dare you injure my holy body!”
“Die!”
The 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.
Instantly, a bloody glow shot out. It was horrifying and burst forth with incomparably terrifying power.
Blood energy lingered in the nine heavens, causing the world to change color.
The Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit’s aura turned berserk, and terrifying phenomena appeared around its body, causing one’s heart to palpitate.
At the same time, the other Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit also used endless evil arts to summon countless evil demons, charging toward him.
Ao Lie’s expression changed slightly. He could only brace himself and charge forward.
The three of them instantly engaged in a fierce battle. They exchanged thousands of blows, and the terrifying power behind their blows shattered the void.
In the end, Ao Lie was unable to resist it and was blasted back, causing him to fly backward for a thousand kilometers.
His face was pale as he gnashed his teeth, his expression filled with unwillingness.
The two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits slowly walked over, sneering. “It’s over!”
They brandished their blood sabers, preparing to end Ao Lie’s life.
…
Outside, Shen Tian happened to see this scene. He turned around and said to Shen Xiao, “Xiaoxiao, wait for me here!”
After he finished speaking, Shen Tian lightly flicked his sleeves, and a chaotic aura swept out, protecting Shen Xiao.
Then, he leaped out, rushing into the black mist.
After 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.
At the same time, he wanted to understand the situation of the five regions.
Ao Lie was quite powerful, so he should know quite a bit.
Shen Tian appeared before Ao Lie on a divine rainbow.
The two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits couldn’t help but narrow their eyes at Shen Tian’s terrifying speed.
“Who are you?”
The two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits’ expressions froze as they revealed wary expressions.
Ao Lie was stunned when he saw Shen Tian appear. He reminded him, “Fellow Daoist, be careful. These two are very savage.”
Ao Lie had no idea how powerful Shen Tian was.
But in his memory, he remembered that there was no top powerhouse in North Sea.
“Who cares who he is? Kill him together!”
One of the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits harrumphed coldly as he swung his blood saber toward Shen Tian.
Shen Tian’s expression didn’t change. He slowly raised his right hand and smashed forward.
The sky and earth seem to sink as the void was annihilated.
Endless starlight lingered around Shen Tian’s fist. Like a hot knife through butter, it descended upon the two Evil Spirits.
This strike could easily wipe out weaker Perfected Immortals.
The Evil Spirit was horrified and couldn’t react at all.
In an instant, both his body and saber were crushed into powder by Shen Tian, completely annihilated.
“Uh…”
The other Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit cried out in horror as his expression changed drastically. He was utterly horrified.
He did not expect this person to be so powerful.
He had killed his companion so easily.
“Run!”
The only thought that emerged in the Evil Spirit’s mind was to escape immediately.
This person was too terrifying, completely impossible for him to go against.
He leaped into the air, and the evil mist within his body exploded as he fled into the distance.
The Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit was horrified. He did not hesitate to expend his life source to escape.
However, Shen Tian wouldn’t give him the chance.
He spoke indifferently. His voice was like the profound voice of the Heavenly Dao, without any emotions.
“Die!”
With just a single word, the sky cracked.
Endless laws condensed into a monstrous killing formation that shot into the sky.
An incomparably strong power swept out, trapping the Evil Spirit within.
This was the power of a domain formation.
Countless laws descended and transformed into sharp divine weapons that instantly pierced through the Sub-Immortal Evil Spirit.
In 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.
…
Ao Lie was dumbstruck.
“F*ck… This guy is too fierce!”
He was so shocked that he was speechless.
Ao Lie had never seen anyone kill a Sub-Immortal so easily.
This was not some random cabbage on the street. It was definitely a top-notch expert!
In the end, it had died just like that?
How terrifying!
…
Shen Tian slowly turned to Ao Lie. “Where are you from?”
He wanted to know if Ao Lie was the successor of Black Dragon Island.
Were there any survivors from those powers?
Ao Lie was stunned when he saw Shen Tian’s face.
He had never seen such a peerless handsome man before. He was like an otherworldly immortal with peerless elegance.
“Er… Fellow Daoist! My name is Ao Lie. I’m the Crown Prince of the Dragon God Palace,” replied Ao Lie.
Shen Tian had a solemn expression and was puzzled.
Dragon God Palace? Why wasn’t it Black Dragon Island?
Could it be that Black Dragon Island would be destroyed in the future?
Shen Tian’s heart sank. He did not know what had happened during this time gap, causing such a huge change in the five regions.
However, Shen Tian had to find the reason for all this in this trip and change it as much as possible.
Ao Lie scratched his head in confusion.
“Fellow Daoist, have you never heard of the Dragon God Palace?”
The Dragon God Palace was the strongest force in North Sea, and its name shook the five regions.
How was that possible? Did anyone not know?
Shen Tian slowly shook his head, deep in thought.
Ao Lie rubbed his nose. “May I know how to address you?”
“Shen… Shen Yuan!”
Shen Tian paused. He originally wanted to say his real name, but at this moment, the Kunlun Mirror sent out a transmission.
When 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.
Hence, Shen Tian randomly chose a fake name.
Yeah.
He had just changed two letters of his name.
“Shen Yuan?”
Ao Lie raised his brows. He had never heard of this name before.
But looking at Shen Tian’s age, he should be around the same age as him.
Could it be that he was a peerless genius of some great power that lived in seclusion?
With 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?”
Shen Tian asked, “The Prodigy Competition?”
Ao Lie was slightly taken aback. “You don’t know?”
Shen Tian shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
Ao Lie’s expression was filled with astonishment and disbelief.
No way!
Who in the five regions does not know about the Prodigy Competition?
Could it be that this person really came from a certain cave?
…
Ao Lie came to a realization.
Shen Tian did not know anything about the five regions and clearly had no contact with them.
Moreover, Ao Lie had heard of the top geniuses of the five regions, but he had never heard of Shen Yuan’s name.
Perhaps Brother Shen Yuan had really been in seclusion until now.
Ao 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.
“For one, it’s an exchange of pointers.
“At the same time, it’s also to discuss how to resist the invasion of the Evil Spirits.
“The news has long spread throughout the five regions, and countless geniuses yearn to participate in this event.
“The reason for that is because many exceptional geniuses will appear this time around.
“Everyone will gather together to spar and compete there and determine who’s the strongest!”
Shen Tian’s interest was piqued.
“Who are the peerless geniuses?”
He wanted to see if he could meet the descendants of his old friends.
Ao Lie said with a smile, “Many freaks have appeared this time.
“For example, Sheng Yangxu, the Great Void Saint, has long cultivated the void techniques to the peak of perfection.
“Reportedly, when he was born, he held the Void Mirror in his hand.
“This is an unparalleled great artifact. It can control the world and the void, capable of destroying a large area of territory at once.
“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.
“The moment he was born, he had the bearing of a Sage.
“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.
“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.
“Additionally, the Jade Void Palace produced someone with a Connate Constitution, named Wang Xuzi, who had comprehended 90% of the world’s laws.
“These are all the human geniuses whose names shook the five regions. They are extremely powerful.”
Upon saying that, Ao Lie sighed inwardly.
The human race had a large population. Naturally, they could produce many peerless geniuses.
However, Ao Lie also wanted to fight for the demons.
He said proudly, “Other than the paragons of the human race, the other races are also full of powerful people.
“For example, young Kun Peng that was born with Yin-Yang wings is said to be a descendant of an ancient ferocious beast.
“There’s also Huang Jiutian from the Undead Phoenix race. It’s said that she’s the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Divine Phoenix…”
The more Ao Lie spoke, the more excited he became.
The thought of being able to compete with these peerless geniuses excited him greatly.
…
Ao Lie’s words shocked Shen Tian. He had never heard of such names.
However, there were some familiar powers that caught Shen Tian’s attention.
For example, the Great Void Sacred Ground and the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground were from his era.
Could it be that his legacy was still there?
Perhaps Shen Tian could use this Prodigy Competition to find his old friend.
At once, he became interested in the Prodigy Competition.
Shen Tian asked, “Where is the Prodigy Competition going to be held?”
Ao Lie replied, “Middle Ground’s Heavenly Gate Mountain!
“Brother Shen Yuan, let’s leave quickly! Otherwise, the Prodigy Competition will begin without us.”
Ao Lie urged. There were only a few days until the Prodigy Competition.
He had been focused on killing Evil Spirits all along the way and had already wasted too much time.
Shen Tian’s expression was impassive. “It doesn’t matter. I have an idea.”
His sleeves fluttered as divine light lingered around him.
The void distorted, dazzling runes appearing between heaven and earth.
These runes were dazzling and resplendent. They carried the power of heaven and earth as they formed a great domain formation.
Soon, a huge void passageway appeared in front of him.
Ao 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.
With a wave of his hand, he could set up a domain teleportation formation.
This ability was simply too terrifying!
…
Ao Lie sighed inwardly.
Shen Tian’s strength could also be called abnormal. He wondered who was stronger and weaker when Shen Tian was compared to those monstrous geniuses.
To be able to sit with these people and discuss the Dao, it’s really exciting just thinking about it!
