Shennong Daojun.

Chapter 580 The Celestial Beast Appears!

Arrow God Ji Heng and Talisman God Wang Yue joined forces to chase the fake Zhao Xing, heading south from Shanshui City, where they happened to encounter the real Zhao Xing.

The Archer God's bow is the Ten Realms Bow, with five holes on both the top and bottom. Six of these holes are empty, while the other four are inlaid with different colored gems.

Gems are crafted from the heart of the world, requiring the refinement of at least a small world like the Rain Fairy Realm to form.

It can be disassembled and the gem replaced. The arrow god Ji Heng just activated the power of the Heart of Ice, forming a cold arrow.

He didn't even look at the rocky mountain below; when aiming, he only looked at the two-colored gem at the very top, called the Time-Reflection Pearl, which could reflect and lock onto the enemy's figure. The Archer God Ji Heng only needed to look at it.

The light emitted when the fake Zhao Xing was beaten was transparent.

However, while the archer Ji Heng excels at attacking, he is not good at encircling.

After wounding Zhao Xing, they still had to rely on the talisman god Wang Yue to trap him.

Zhao Xing was the head of the ancient hill, and his foundation after becoming a god was also based on the geographical advantage. The location where he was shot was a continuous mountain range, and if things went wrong, Zhao Xing could easily escape.

Originally, the Goddess of Talismans intended to use the Earth God Talisman, but in the end, she showed the highest respect to this enemy who had seriously injured the young master and used the Thousand Feather God Talisman instead.

The Thousand Feather Divine Talisman belongs to the category of Boundary Talismans.

The boundary talisman and the anti-rejection formula of the Five Seasons Pharmacy have similar effects. Non-native life forms can be protected from the rejection of the Great World by applying one, and cultivators can exert their original strength.

However, the Thousand Feather Divine Talisman has been nurtured by Wang Yue for 1.5 million years, and its effects are far beyond those of ordinary boundary talismans.

After releasing the boundary symbol, she will not only not be rejected, but will also receive a significant increase in strength, enabling her to control the origin of the boundary within a certain range of the Thousand Feather Great World.

By using talismans to prove the Dao, she can, to some extent, briefly rival a true god. However, the scope and duration of this true god's control are limited to the Thousand Feather Great World, and also depend on the talisman's effective range.

Zhao Xing and Du Yun were the first to be pierced by the cold arrows, and the impact carried them down the rocky mountain, which was what the crisis intelligence had mentioned.

However, due to the interference of certain forces, the black-robed figure was unable to accurately inform Zhao Xing. Instead, he gave Zhao Xing a push at a critical moment. This push did not simply kick Zhao Xing out of the mental space, but rather strengthened Zhao Xing's mental power.

This caused Zhao Xing to react both before and after being shot by the arrow.

Before being hit by the arrow, his shoulder swelled up. The main vines of the Yuan Teng Immortal overlapped and concentrated around his shoulder, so the arrow only passed through and the icy divine power did not spread to his whole body—it should have frozen Zhao Xing's divine body and even most of his soul.

After being shot by the arrow, Zhao Xing put on the Divine Warrior Robe.

The fact that they shot arrows proves that the one coming is a martial arts god, and the distance must be very close. The Minister of Agriculture has no advantage in close combat, but wearing the Divine Warrior Robe will give him a fighting chance.

Zhao Xing couldn't use the God-King level Divine Weapon, so it was taken by the Boundless True God for research in order to further enhance the power of his natal divine weapon.

But the Divine General of the Battle is tough enough, at least tougher than Du Yun.

Zhao Xing's Divine Luo Flow Puppet contained the artifact spirit Yan Zi, who was originally the gatekeeper. It immediately took Du Yun and Zhao Xing inside and controlled Yan Dou Shen to escape.

Yanzi was able to unleash the power of the Yan Fighting God Puppet to its limit of 1200 times. While escaping, she also activated the power of the Chaos Demon Fungus and the Divine Bone to heal the injuries of Zhao Xing and Du Yun.

Only then did Wang Yue's divine talisman begin to flash.

The Thousand Feather Divine Talisman is like a flag, or a map.

Fortunately, the place where Zhao Xing stayed was not a famous location. The Stone Mountain Range stretched endlessly, and it took Wang Duo some effort to take control of the Stone Mountain area.

At this moment, the God of War was almost out of her control.

"They escaped really fast, but ultimately they were still a bit lacking."

Wang Yue's expression was indifferent as he pointed towards the distance.

The mountains seemed to come alive, constantly flowing.

Space is also constantly receding.

Archer Ji Heng immediately put down his bow, because now was no time for him to show off his skills.

The Thousand Feather Divine Talisman is Wang Yue's most powerful talisman here. Once it takes effect, she will become a peak Divine General, a True God without Tribulation!

"Om~"

Everything around me was rushing past.

The earth, the wind, the rain, the trees... everything was helping Wang Yue to oppose Zhao Xing.

"Boom~"

Ahead of Wang Yue, the soil formed veins, and the earth veins formed peaks, dragging the Divine Warrior as it appeared.

Almost instantly, the God of War was pulled back to his original position.

With a single talisman from Wang Yue, Zhao Xing's various escape attempts vanished into thin air.

"broken!"

"Master, we've encountered the God of Talismans. She's at the peak of the Divine General realm, and here she's equivalent to a True God who has proven her Dao in Heaven and Earth," said Chen Zi anxiously. "It's very difficult for us to escape."

At the peak of the Divine General realm, and equivalent to a true god who has proven the Dao of Heaven and Earth?
Zhao Xing was having trouble breathing.

Damn it, they really think highly of themselves!
He originally thought that a true god-level general wouldn't be dispatched, but they actually did!
……

Yi Ren's situation was also somewhat dire at this point.

He was being hunted down by the Arrow God and the Talisman God of Shanshui City, as well as two ancient gods of Taiyue. Due to his high level of vigilance, he activated his trump card divine artifact to escape immediately.

Yi Ren fled from north to south, wanting to return to the Black Sand Domain because Du Yun was still imprisoned there. In addition, the Earth God Dog was one of the few sources of solace in his life.

But as soon as he left the Stone Mountains, before he could even run back to the Black Sand Domain, he was met with a fierce attack at the Iron Wire River.

Yi Ren couldn't understand it. The Father God was so shrewd and in his eyes almost omnipotent.

He has never made a mistake in these details before, so why is he being targeted for murder everywhere today?
First, the token became invalid, and the support from Shanshui City turned into an obstacle, with the city wanting to kill him.

Now they've suddenly been ambushed again.

Moreover, their combat power is incredibly strong.

The Starfire God's natal artifact merely grazed him, yet it shattered seven high-level divine objects on his body, severely injuring him and causing him to fall into the river.

Yi Ren's combat power is comparable to that of a late-stage Divine General, and with the assistance of numerous divine artifacts, it is almost impossible for him to suffer such a severe injury.

But now an extremely powerful divine general has appeared, and it seems he is intentionally lying in ambush here.

"Could even the Father God make mistakes?"

In the icy Iron Wire River, Yi Ren's face was shattered beyond recognition, and he was filled with shock.

What shocked him was not encountering a powerful enemy, but rather being ambushed.

The omnipotent and glorious image of the Father God in his heart was suddenly shrouded in a shadow.

Under the arrangement of the Father God, he was always the one who ambushed and attacked others. For example, Du Yun's two great guardian generals were separated from Du Yun because he used his own methods.

"Di Jun, don't kill him. I want to take him back for questioning," General Xinghuo said calmly. "Let's see who is so audacious as to harm Zhao Xing and now Du Yun."

"Yes." Di Jun's talent lies in water manipulation. Although the Iron Wire River is special, with its water flowing like a thread cutting through everything, it is still within his capabilities.

He immediately transformed back into his real form and jumped down to retrieve the fake Zhao Xing.

"Is it Di Jun? I would have a hard time escaping his grasp while I was in the river."

"No, I can't be caught!"

Through the layers of water, Iren saw a snake covered in feathers swimming down.

He pulled out a talisman from his hand, and an escape plan quickly took shape in his mind.

But just then, Yi Ren suddenly heard a desolate voice: "Moo Ang~~"

In the Stone Mountains, Zhao Xing, inside the body of the God of War, also planned a desperate counterattack.

"Since we can't run away, then we won't run."

"Yanzi, I'm sorry to trouble you to live somewhere else."

"Yes, Master."

Zhao Xing opened his palm.

God King's Secret Technique: A World in the Palm of Your Hand!
A terrifying wave emanated from it—the light of the Mother Tree!

The Tree Son and Zhou Yuan are still locked in a stalemate. Since Yan Zi said that the other party is at the peak of the God General level and has the ability of a True God, the only thing Zhao Xing can think of is the Myriad Paths Mother Tree that can deal with her.

Just as Zhao Xing was about to release the Mother Tree, a desolate voice echoed in his mind: "Moo Ang~"

The desolate sound seemed to come from ancient times, resounding throughout the entire Thousand Feather Great World, but only gods could hear it.

He quickly broke through the boundary and easily arrived at the hidden Great Evolution Divine Weapon split entity in the void—Zi Fang.

Nangong, Qingyuzi, Luya, Yan Ao, Wu Zhao and others standing in the cube were all shocked, as all their magic collapsed at that moment.

"What is this sound?"

"It came from the Thousand Feather World?"

"Could there be unknown and terrifying beings in the Thousand Feather Great World?"

"That can't be right. If the God King doesn't appear, we are already the most powerful beings in this world."

Everyone immediately dared not make a move, and the Great Evolution Divine Weapon began to operate rapidly.

On the other side of the Thousand Feathers Great World, in the Ancient Dao Layer Void.

A hollow sphere rotates in the void.

Four figures stood on the planet, two of whom looked exactly like Gu Luohe and Qingyuzi.

As the voice pierced through the void, Qingyuzi's face lit up with joy: "Your Highness, Elder Shuji's words have come true; it has appeared."

"Should we immediately enter the Thousand Feather Great World to capture it?"

"The time is not yet ripe," said Gu Luohe calmly.

“The old man from Shuji sells to many companies; we are just one of them.”

"Look more closely, who else is coming, and what is their purpose?"

"Yes."

……

Above the endless river of time, a blob of black and white ink wriggled in the seventh sun year of the 342nd century before the beginning of the wasteland.

Within the mist that shrouded the era of the Five Emperors, several figures appeared and disappeared. The mist was spreading towards the era of the Spirit Realm, but it soon stopped.

Because the ink had transformed into a human form, holding a book in its left hand and a pen in its right.

Emerging from the mist on a three-inch spiritual platform, the Cardinal Elder wore a square crown and a medical robe, flanked by the divine incarnations of the Bookless God King and the Xi Tian God King, with numerous illusory figures assisting him from behind the mist.

"The Moon Goddess Palace Master is more than capable of defending, but not of advancing." The old man from the Pivot didn't care at all. "This God King of History is comparable to the Dao Lord in guarding the Desolate Domain Era, but he cannot go down into the river, and he rarely travels through the River of Time, because the Dao lineage he inherited does not allow him to do such a thing. If the two of you really fight him, he will lose his life."

"The so-called avatar of the Ancestor of the Void was used once and cannot be used again, but you don't know that."

But the God King Wushu and the God King Xitian dared not believe it.

Because they had fought against the Moon Goddess Palace Master, they dared not use their true forms to verify the words of Elder Shuji.

The old man from the Pivot moved the three-inch spiritual platform again, seemingly wanting to verify it himself.

But he stopped again very soon.

Because a pagoda appeared beside the Ink Man, reflecting the Crimson Star Pagoda of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and the myriad great paths.

The old man had to stop, because he knew that the Moon Goddess Palace Master would not go all out, as he was not actually very aggressive as an individual.

However, Emperor Crimson Star was different; he was known for his strong attack power.

"The Crimson Star Emperor has appeared. My goal has been achieved. Elder Shuji, our karma is now settled." A voice came from the mist and then disappeared.

The disappearance of all of the Emperor's divine power avatars, including his original form, had unsettled many forces. Now, having received an answer from Elder Shuji, even just seeing one of the Emperor's divine power avatars was enough to put their minds at ease. "The transaction is complete, and the cause and effect are settled," Elder Shuji nodded.

But some people were still dissatisfied: "Old Man Shuji, what I'm looking for is Bowei. I've waited for so long, and I haven't even seen a shadow of Bowei yet."

"Be patient, and you will see the answer," the old man from the Pivot replied.

……

"Palace Master, who is that old guy?" Emperor Crimson Star stood with his hands behind his back, frowning as he looked at the Three-Inch Spirit Platform. "How come Wu Shu and Xi Tian are involved with him, and I've never even heard of him?"

“An arrogant traitor,” said the Moon Goddess Palace Master.

"Judging from his secretive behavior, could he be one of the Ten Gods?"

"I don't know much either, except that he cultivates both destiny and history, but is not tolerated by either party."

The Emperor nodded slightly, no longer asking about the other party's origins, and simply asked softly, "Can you kill him?"

"It's not a good time to kill them now."

When is the best time to kill?

"The next time Shifang Mountain will appear in the world."

"Oh, I see." Emperor Crimson Star suddenly realized. "Those who came for this are indeed arrogant fools."

The Ten Directions Mountain only emerges with the tides of the river of time, meaning it will only appear in the era of the Wilderness. Trying to seize it is a pipe dream.

"It seems that Zhao Xing's Ten Directions Mountain Scripture has stirred up the despair of some old guys." Emperor Crimson Star lowered his head and looked at a point of light in the River of Time.

"This is so messy... Can Zhao Xing's disguise still be kept secret?"

"Let nature take its course." The Moon Goddess Palace Master also glanced down. "If he can seize the opportunity and capture this escaped Heavenly Beast, his goal will be achieved."

When the roar echoed through the Stone Mountains, Zhao Xing discovered that the Divine Warrior was able to move, and the divine talisman crumbled on its own.

Wang Yue stared in shock at the burning divine talisman, realizing that she was powerless to stop it.

Archer Ji Heng remained in the posture of drawing his bow and shooting an arrow. Just now, he instinctively shot an arrow in the direction he thought the sound was coming from, but the arrow somehow ended up somewhere else.

Turning his head, he discovered that a giant phantom of a beast with a lion's head, a dog's body, a single horn, and blue fur had suddenly appeared in the sky.

He opened his mouth wide, and it seemed as if there was a blazing sun in his throat, as if the arrow had been swallowed by it.

On the other side, the Iron Wire River suddenly evaporated completely. When Di Jun turned around, he saw the giant beast phantom from the exact same angle.

Its throat emitted a scorching light, and Yi Ren, who was behind Di Jun, should have been shrouded in Di Jun's shadow, but his face was also reflected with light.

Starfire God looked at the giant beast with some shock, because he couldn't recognize what it was, but it had broken the magic array set up by his Starfire Divine Needle.

The entire magic array melted away in an instant, and the divine needle was knocked back to its original form, returning to the array box.

……

Zhao Xing, hiding inside the body of the Divine Warrior, was surrounded by a dazzling white light that stung his very soul.

The worms screamed and shrank back into their bodies, no longer offering any help.

In the end what happened?
Zhao Xing was somewhat bewildered.

He didn't dare to move because he didn't know what was happening. He was so excited that he was trembling uncontrollably.

"W-wh-how is this possible? What has appeared?"

Zhao Xing was trembling so badly that his words were shaking, but after a moment he still managed to come to some conclusions.

He discovered that this feeling of being out of control originated from his own Great Sun Qi Sea.

The Great Sun Qi Sea boiled, and the setting sun suddenly became brighter. Strangely, a reflection of a small blue beast with a lion's head, a dog's body, and a single horn appeared beside it.

"Could it be that a celestial beast has appeared?"

"How can you be so strong?"

Zhao Xing was filled with doubt.

The celestial beast even affected the talisman god.

But that doesn't make any sense at all.

"This imposter wants to sacrifice Du Yun in order to capture the Celestial Beast. What kind of person is he to dare to capture such a powerful Celestial Beast?"

Zhao Xing thought the Heavenly Timing Beast wasn't very strong, but when it appeared, it actually crushed the Divine Talisman Master, who was comparable to a true god, to the ground.

He even heard the voice of the God of Runes reminding his companions:

"Dean Wang, what kind of strange thing is this...?"

"Don't, don't move, don't speak!" Wang Yue trembled.

The archer Ji Heng really didn't move.

It's not that he's really that obedient, but that he can't move.

Archer Ji Heng found himself feeling weak all over; not only was he weak, but even his bow felt weak.

It seems that if you move any further, you will evaporate completely.

"Spark, what is that? Why can't I move?" Di Jun was terrified; this sudden change was too frightening.

Could it be the appearance of the God-King?
"Don't ask me, I can't move either." General Xinghuo was also parched, his voice weak and feeble.

"My divine power is draining away, and there's nothing I can do to stop it," Di Jun roared inwardly. "Can you run away?"

"Stop talking, focus all your attention on your source!"

……

Yi Ren sat up from the riverbed. He glanced coldly at the two evil gods who were sweating profusely on the bank, swallowed a recovery pill, and took out a talisman to stick on himself.

Before long, Yi Ren's injuries had mostly healed, and he quickly flew away from the riverbank.

Others cannot move, but Yi Ren can.

Because he already knew what it was, and the Father God had prepared for him.

Yi Ren continued his journey towards the Black Sands.

Upon arriving at the underground palace, they discovered that Du Yun was nothing but a head.

"Xiao Ren, has anyone come after I left?"

Yi Ren carried the head out and looked at the earth god dog guarding the gate.

"Woof? Nobody's been here." The Earth God Dog was a little confused.

After a moment's thought, Yi Ren asked again, "When did I leave?"

"Didn't our master leave three days ago?"

Yi Ren's eyes were slightly cold.

He left five days ago.

But the dog said it had left three days ago.

"In other words, he's here."

Yi Ren did not blame the Earth God Dog, because he regarded the Earth God Dog as family. In the long 30,000 years, the Father God was majestic and ruthless, and there was nothing else besides cultivation, discipline, tasks and tests.

The only companion he had for a long time was his divine dog.

Yi Ren even gave it his original name.

"Xiao Ren, come with me."

"Wang~"

……

In the Stone Mountain Range, Zhao Xing put away the Divine Battle Technique and jumped out from a crevice in the mountain.

The God of Talismans and the God of Arrows seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move, but Zhao Xing discovered that he could move.

It seems that it escaped this calamity because it had cultivated the Great Sun Qi Sea.

However, Zhao Xing couldn't relax.

Because the giant beast turned its head and stared at him.

To be precise, he was staring at the headless Du Yun who had been stored in the World Ring.

The power of the Heavenly Beast was beyond imagination, so Zhao Xing had no intention of refining the Heaven-Mending Technique.
It's good enough if we don't get refined by them!

Zhao Xing grinned, gave him an innocent-looking smile, and then ran away in a flash.

While running, he frantically flipped through books in the little house inside his body.

On the boundless continent, Bovi once left behind a small courtyard.

There are quite a few miscellaneous books inside.

After seeing the true form of the celestial beast, Zhao Xing immediately took out a Taoist book to compare it with.

"The Emperor Rui called it Sacrifice, the Emperor Li called it Record, the Emperor Yu called it Year, the Emperor Luo called it Year, and the era of the Founding Ancestor will live on forever."

"Emperor Rui offered sacrifices to the North Star, and Emperor Li caused the North Star to shift."

"During the reign of Emperor Yu, the twelve beasts of the year were born on the polar star, and the concept of celestial beasts came into being."

"During the reign of Emperor Luo, only one kind of celestial beast was born, called 'Xi'. Its voice is like the year, and it is also known as the Year Beast."

"After many generations, the Year Beast and the Year Beast have developed into multiple species, which are collectively known as the Heavenly Time Beasts, but they are no longer pure."

"The Year Beast, the Year Beast?" Zhao Xing's expression was a bit strange. How could it be so similar to the myths and legends of his hometown in his previous life?

"What are you looking through?" Du Yun, the headless man, was also outside the courtyard. "Why do I smell Bowei's scent? He used to live here?"

"You have a dog's nose, how can you smell this?" Zhao Xing came to his senses and walked out the door.

"A martial artist's talent." Headless Du Yun clutched the hole in his chest. "I also smelled danger. Is there danger outside? Is that Heavenly Timber Beast coming?"

"You guessed right, but there's no reward." Zhao Xing took flight and headed towards a certain place on the boundless continent.

"Hey? Where are you going?" Headless Du Yun jumped up, only to find he had lost his sense of direction. He bumped into a roof beam and fell headfirst to the ground. "Ugh, it's so inconvenient to see the way with your belly button."

However, once he got to know them, Du Yun quickly caught up with them.

"You arrived pretty quickly. It seems you martial artists really can get by without using your brains," Zhao Xing joked.

Du Yun, headless: "...What are you saying?! Do I look like that kind of person?!"

Zhao Xing laughed it off.

"You still have the mind to tease me? Looks like I still have a chance to live?" Du Yun touched his belly button, came to Zhao Xing's side, and looked at the bamboo forest in front of him.

"I was thinking of having you throw me out; it's better for one of you to die than for both of us to die."

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that! Do I look like that kind of person?" Zhao Xing glared at him.

Du Yun was speechless.

"Knock knock!" Zhao Xing tapped the bamboo. "Brother, there's a chance to live, it just depends on whether it's what I think."

"You'll cooperate with me in a bit, let's take a gamble."
