Chapter 1918 Passing Three Tests

Everyone was immediately enraged when Li Yanchu blocked their way.

The nine-headed lion said angrily, "This treasure is not in your possession, and you have no relation to that boy, so why are you stopping us?"

Li Yanchu's earlier conversation with the boy had already reached everyone's ears, which made them even more furious.

Looking at the enraged nine-headed lion, Li Yanchu coldly said, "I'm willing, what's it to you?"

The nine-headed lion was so angry that it almost vomited blood.

Li Yanchu threw a punch, his fist brimming with powerful energy, forcing even the Nine-Headed Lion to be cautious.

But the next moment, he was punched to the ground by Li Yanchu, his face filled with disbelief.

He was knocked down with just one punch?

Li Yanchu used his Dharma form to block everyone's path with his own power, but he could only hold out for half an incense stick's time.

With everyone working together and possessing formidable cultivation, the Great Dao they each unleashed was so powerful that even a ruthless individual like Li Yanchu couldn't withstand it.

But in the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the boy had vanished without a trace.

Li Yanchu suddenly took a step forward and charged directly at the Dragon Ancestor, saying, "Weren't you called Zuihuan before? Now that the treasure is gone, and I'm still here, why don't you cut off my head?"

The Dragon Ancestor forced a smile: "We only fought occasionally in order to compete for the treasure, why take it so seriously?"

Li Yanchu said seriously, "That won't do. I always seek revenge. Since you want to incite the crowd to deal with me, why don't we have a life-or-death battle here today?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

The Dragon Ancestor's face darkened. Sensing the ill intentions of the people around him, he said loudly, "This man is vindictive and narrow-minded. Why don't we join forces and get rid of him first?"

But this time is different. Last time, when they joined forces to seize the treasure, they had to eliminate this biggest threat. But this time is different.
Li Yanchu clearly wanted to confront the Dragon Ancestor. This was their personal feud, so who would be foolish enough to take the lead for the Dragon Ancestor?

Furthermore, if the Dragon Ancestor were to die, taking his position wouldn't be bad.

Looking at the gazes of those around him, Dragon Ancestor sensed that the cultivators in the Great Void were indeed full of scheming.

Before he could say anything more, Li Yanchu had already charged over.

He concealed his astonishing divine form, then swung his hand, revealing an extremely cold and sharp blade of light.

The Dragon Ancestor waved his hand, and a purple talisman appeared in the void, bearing an ancient inscription.

After the gourd talisman was placed, Li Yanchu's figure gradually fell into the talisman.

But his sword light remained, cleaving through all the great paths of the world and directly splitting the purple talisman in two.

The Dragon Ancestor was wounded by this strike, blood appearing on his chest. His heart sank.
Knowing that Li Yanchu was now arrogant and that he was no match for him, he immediately turned and fled.

He secretly regretted it; he shouldn't have instigated the crowd before. Now that Li Yanchu had his eye on him, he was likely in grave danger.

Li Yanchu shouted loudly, "Where do you think you're going!"

He and the Dragon Ancestor chased each other and quickly left the place.

The Dragon Ancestor sensed a terrifying crisis.

Li Yanchu's blade flashed fiercely, its sights locked on him.

Fortunately, his cultivation level was not weak either, and with his only thought being to escape, Li Yanchu really couldn't subdue him for the time being.

And so, he was hunted down for more than ten days before finally managing to escape from Li Yanchu in a sorry state.

.........

On the other side, the cosmic debris of the Dao Domain was being pushed by the power of the void towards the Dark Forbidden Zone.

All universes that have ceased to exist will be refined into a special kind of dark matter, which will then fly to the Dark Forbidden Zone and become part of it.

Li Yanchu had been chasing the Dragon Ancestor for over ten days, yet the Dragon Ancestor still managed to escape. He couldn't help but sigh, "That slippery old mudfish."

In the end, they had no choice but to give up.

He was extremely curious about the boy's origins. He possessed a black box that appeared to belong to the Dao Lord realm, but in reality, the boy was a Dao King at the pinnacle of the Great Dao.

The simultaneous appearance of two realms within him seemed somewhat strange, as if he had not yet fully recovered his strength.

A dozen days later, Li Yanchu gave up the pursuit of the Dragon Ancestor, but then saw the young Tu Tian again.

The young Tu Tian smiled and said, "Greetings, fellow Daoist."

Li Yanchu raised his hand in return and said, "Did you wait for me here on purpose?"

Tu Tian said, "That's right, my master is waiting ahead and wants to see you, fellow Daoist."

Li Yanchu asked, "Who is your teacher?"

The young Tu Tian said, "My master is the Supreme Saint Heavenly Venerable, who is not far ahead."

Li Yanchu raised an eyebrow slightly, "Supreme Saint Heavenly Venerable?"

He had never heard of this name before, and Li Yanchu asked again, "Is he from the Dark Forbidden Zone?"

Tu Tian nodded and said, "That's right, the Great Bright Hall in the Dark Forbidden Zone."

Li Yanchu followed Tu Tian to the front, where there was a fairy island. The island was filled with the fragrance of flowers and lush greenery, and there was a palace inside.

The palace gates opened, and an old man stood before the palace. It appeared that a piece of the old man's head had been smashed open with brute force, and flames were burning continuously inside his head and chest cavity.

Li Yanchu recognized it at a glance; it was the Annihilation Heavenly Flame that had burned the entire Dao Domain Universe to ashes.

Li Yanchu's heart sank: "Even people at their level can be troubled by the Annihilation Heavenly Flame?"

This person stood before Li Yanchu, his cultivation unfathomable and extremely powerful. Li Yanchu could not sense his level of cultivation at all, which meant that he was at least one major realm higher than Li Yanchu.

But can such people still not escape the fate of annihilation?
The Supreme Celestial Venerable said, "The leader of the True Alliance was a disciple I supported, yet you killed him. You need to give me an explanation for this."

The old man initially appeared very kind, but as soon as he finished speaking, a murderous intent suddenly appeared.

Li Yanchu said, "Explain? What explanation? Killing is killing."

Upon hearing this, Tu Tian's expression became somewhat subtle. His gaze towards Li Yanchu was filled with surprise and admiration. He had never seen anyone dare to speak to his teacher like that before.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable said, "Tu Tian told me that you helped him when he was robbing the Annihilation Spiritual Treasure and helped him stop the pursuers. I had some goodwill towards you, but now it seems that you are a stubborn and unruly madman."

Li Yanchu said, "There's no point in talking when we don't see eye to eye. Even if you're a legendary god, you're nothing special. At most, you can only kill me."

The Supreme Celestial Venerable stared intently at Li Yanchu, then suddenly turned to Tu Tian and said, "I don't like this person very much. He can't be the next leader of the True Alliance. Kill him and take him away."

Tu Tian tried to smooth things over by saying, "Teacher, please don't get angry."

He then said to Li Yanchu, "Brother Dao, I apologize for not making it clear when I invited you here today. Our teacher does not intend to pursue the matter of you killing the leader of the Zhenyi Alliance. He just wants you to take charge of the Zhenyi Alliance."

Li Yanchu said, "I know, otherwise why would he have invited me? In his current state, killing me would be a piece of cake." Tu Tian asked, puzzled, "Since you know, why..."

Li Yanchu said, "Why shouldn't we give your teacher face, right?"

Tu Tian nodded in agreement and said, "Our teacher is different from others. He also dislikes places like Dao Domains in the Great Void, which is why he supports the True One Alliance."

Li Yanchu said, "I don't care what he wants to do, but I don't plan to stay here and be his puppet."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Celestial Venerable flew into a rage: "What an arrogant brat! He is indeed not a useful talent."

At this moment, even a trace of his aura was enough to suppress Li Yanchu, rendering him unable to move.

Li Yanchu's hands and feet were ice-cold, and his blood seemed to have frozen, but he still refused to bow down to the Supreme Saint Heavenly Venerable.

These are beings from the Dark Forbidden Zone; who knows what they intend to do? It seems that being their puppet won't end well either. Li Yanchu scoffs at this.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable's vital energy circulated, becoming extremely powerful: "Aren't you afraid I will grind you to dust?"

Li Yanchu suddenly activated the Hunyuan Bu Er method, and his aura changed abruptly. He immediately broke free from the control of the Supreme Saint Heavenly Venerable, and his figure retreated, transforming into a golden light in the air.

After several tumbles, he completely broke free from the suppression of the Supreme Celestial Venerable.

"If you want to scheme against the existence of the Dark Forbidden Zone, you should find someone else. I'm not going to play along."

The Supreme Celestial Venerable was quite surprised, not expecting that Li Yanchu could actually break free from his control.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable glanced at Tu Tian, ​​then looked at Li Yanchu and said, "For someone of my status to attack you would be considered bullying the weak and would invite criticism. If you can defeat my disciple, I am willing to let you leave and will not hold the matter of killing the leader of the True Alliance against me against you."

Then Li Yanchu saw two more people walk out of the palace, and he raised an eyebrow.

The two men were a dark-skinned, thin Taoist priest who could unleash devastating winds that were difficult to resist, and an ancient fighting god, a reclusive powerhouse. Both of them were disciples of the Supreme Saint Heavenly Venerable.

Furthermore, the fact that this Dao Lord realm expert was able to withstand the onslaught of others was truly unexpected.

Li Yanchu said, "Even if they are fellow disciples, why didn't they help us yesterday?"

The dark-skinned, thin Taoist priest sneered, "Do we need to explain our actions to you? Everything is decided by our master."

Li Yanchu thought to himself, "This person really knows how to flatter."

The Supreme Celestial Venerable said, "Wu Chen, go and meet him first. If he can pass the three tests, let him leave."

The ancient god of battle received the order, his voice booming like thunder, and charged towards Li Yanchu.

The Ancient God of War unleashed his primordial divine power, blasting towards Li Yanchu with a wave of his hand. In an instant, the world turned upside down, and the space-time around Li Yanchu became distorted.

The ancient god of battle charged towards Li Yanchu and threw a punch at him.

At this moment, Li Yanchu activated the Nine Paths of Proof, from the beginning of chaos to the end of annihilation, and his strength became incomparably profound, immediately meeting the Battle God.

boom!
The divine powers of the Ancient God of War clashed with those of Li Yanchu, creating a terrifying ripple in the void that affected an area spanning hundreds of millions of miles.

It's rather strange that Li Yanchu's self-created supernatural power can rival the original supernatural power.

The ancient gods who fought were all guided by famous masters, and they immediately realized that Li Yanchu was probably close to the Primordial Realm.

Even the Supreme Celestial Venerable was somewhat shaken at this moment, but for such a terrifying being as him, this was all.

The Ancient God of War swung his fist at Li Yanchu, and the two fought fiercely, their blows landing squarely on each other.

After Li Yanchu activated the Hunyuan Bu Er method, the Fighting Ancient God was forced to retreat and could only defend passively. Finally, Li Yanchu kicked him in the neck.

Li Yanchu's right leg, like a giant python, struck the Fighting Ancient God with pinpoint accuracy.
Click!

The ancient god of war was instantly struck in the neck, causing it to dislocate, and he was sent flying.

Li Yanchu's attacks were relentless, a series of punches exploding in the chest of the Fighting Ancient God like thunderclaps.

The Fighting God's sternum was broken, his ribs were broken, and in the end, he was even beaten so badly by Li Yanchu that he couldn't stand up at all.

He was also a Dao King Realm Great Perfection being, and had the innate bloodline of an ancient god, but he was exhausted in the face of Li Yanchu's attack and was eventually beaten into a pile of mud.

Li Yanchu tossed the Fighting Ancient God in front of the Supreme Saint Heavenly Venerable and said coldly, "If there hadn't been so many people that day, and he had come out to stop me all by himself, I would have killed him long ago. If you want to deal with me, you might as well take action yourself."

The Supreme Celestial Venerable remained expressionless, glanced at the dark-skinned, thin Taoist, and said loudly, "Canghai, you heard how arrogant he was. Don't bring shame to your sect."

The dark-skinned, thin Taoist priest accepted the order and immediately activated the cloth bag on his body.

After the cloth bag was raised, its mouth opened like a black hole, and the bifeng (a type of magical wind) inside immediately blew out.

The Bifeng wind blows into the body through the acupoints and can destroy all realms; all great paths will decay and collapse when faced with it.

That day was only short-lived, so it was still bearable. But if you were to be blown by the wind for a long time, even if you were at the end of the Great Dao, you would die and your Dao would dissipate.

Faced with the attack from the dark-skinned, thin Taoist priest, many thoughts flashed through Li Yanchu's mind.

"After passing three trials, I originally thought this dark-skinned, thin Taoist was the last one. Could it be that the last trial is to have Tu Tian take action?"

Li Yanchu found it hard to believe.

Tu Tian was only at the Dao Lord realm. Logically speaking, no matter how strong he was, he could only be on par with the Fighting Ancient God, and could never be stronger than this dark and thin Daoist.

At this moment, the dark-skinned, thin Taoist pushed the Bifeng (a magical wind) to its limit.

Faced with the supreme power of the universe, Bifeng, Li Yanchu had no choice but to deal with it with caution.

The dark-skinned, thin Taoist was extremely confident in the power of the Bifeng Wind. This terrifying power, second only to the Annihilation Heavenly Fire, could never have been obtained without a special opportunity.

Unexpectedly, when the wind blew on Li Yanchu, he didn't move an inch.

He activated the Primordial Chaos Technique, a technique that surpasses all the Great Daos in the current universe, and even the fiercest winds cannot move it.

Li Yanchu swung his hand and slashed down, severing the dark-skinned Taoist's arm in one stroke.

The dark-skinned, thin Taoist priest found it hard to believe.

The next moment, Li Yanchu rushed in front of him, punching, elbowing, hitting his groin, and striking the back of his head, each move deadly.

In no time at all, the dark-skinned, thin Taoist priest was beaten so badly that he could not stand up and lay there on the verge of death.

If it weren't for the intervention of the Supreme Celestial Venerable, he would likely have been beaten to death by Li Yanchu.

Li Yanchu flicked his toes, lifting the dark-skinned, thin Taoist's cloth bag and hanging it around his waist.

The Supreme Celestial Venerable's expression changed, and he said, "This is my disciple's magic treasure; how dare you forcibly take it!"

Li Yanchu said, "How about we have your disciple get up and fight for another three hundred rounds before deciding who owns this magic weapon?"

The Supreme Celestial Venerable's expression shifted, his mood shifting between light and dark. In the end, he simply said fiercely, "Sooner or later, I will make Canghai take this magic treasure back from you."

Li Yanchu looked at Tu Tian and said, "After passing three trials, it won't be him in the end, will it?"
