Cultivating Immortality in the Winter Wasteland.

Chapter 869 Reunion with Zhao Ningshen

During the hottest days of summer,
Chen Wang came to this place after leaving Mingzhou.

He discovered that the strange power in the Great Flame Heaven had disappeared, as if it had never been there.

Since the Great Flame Heaven was corrupted by this strange Dao power, and the Great Dao within it was distorted, Chen Wang has regarded it as an ominous place, and he has not come here for a long time.

Upon inspection, Chen Wang found that the force had disappeared, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The Great Flame Heaven is rich in spiritual energy, making it a first-class blessed land for cultivation. It would be a real pity to destroy it.

Now that that power has faded, it's a good time to make use of it again.

However, just as Chen Wang was on patrol, he suddenly discovered another powerful aura in the Great Yan Heaven.

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow and his divine sense instantly spread out.

The owner of that aura also noticed Chen Wang, and a similarly powerful divine sense locked onto Chen Wang.

Chen Wang frowned and said in surprise, "Celestial Venerable?"

The owner of that powerful aura was a cold and aloof man.

However, Zhao Ningshen at this time had a full head of white hair and looked very flamboyant.

Chen Wang's heart stirred, and in an instant he stepped forward and charged out.

Zhao Ningshen said coldly, "It's you, you scoundrel! I was careless back then and you tricked me. Now it's too late to regret it."

Chen Wang said in a deep voice, "Where is Xue Jiangbai?"

Zhao Ningshen said coldly, "Xue Jiangbai? You mean the Heavenly Demon that I slayed? What do you think? Do you really think the Heavenly Demon can turn the tables? Of course, I refined it completely."

Chen Wang's heart sank.

He and Xue Jiangbai were initially adversaries, but later joined forces against each other, their relationship was delicate. However, he never expected that Xue Jiangbai would ultimately lose to the Heavenly Venerable.

Chen Wang took a deep breath and said, "You killed him?!"

Zhao Ningshen did not answer Chen Wang at this moment, and Chen Wang did not know what he had experienced in the depths of the void.

At this moment, Zhao Ningshen's cultivation level not only recovered, but actually improved.

It should be understood that for a cultivator at his level, it is extremely difficult to improve his cultivation even slightly.

However, when he met Zhao Ningshen again this time, he made a move with extraordinary power, causing the void to shatter in an instant.

Zhao Ningshen's attack was truly domineering and unparalleled.

However, Chen Wang remained calm and fought with him, instantly neutralizing his supernatural power and immediately launching a counterattack.

Zhao Ningshen's face showed surprise instead.

He could have turned misfortune into blessing and survived by being put in a life-or-death situation.

When Xue Jiangbai possessed him, he unleashed all the negative emotions he had generated from the battle, and in doing so, he also killed Xue Jiangbai.

He was already very skilled in the art of slaying demons, and in dire circumstances...
He actually defeated Xue Jiangbai using this method and directly exiled Xue Jiangbai.

When the Heavenly Demon was expelled, Xue Jiangbai was powerless to resist. Therefore, with Chen Wang's help, he originally had a 90% chance of winning, but in the end he was still exiled and his whereabouts are now unknown.

Zhao Ningshen was thrown off balance by the spatial turbulence deep in the void, but he also had a fortuitous encounter because of it.

Things often drift in the depths of the void. After the spatial ring is crushed, the contents inside will also enter the void turbulence.
Ordinary things will be crushed, but some extremely powerful magical artifacts or materials for refining weapons will be preserved.

Zhao Ningshen obtained a piece of pure white, jade-like finger bone deep in the void.

These finger bones appear slightly larger than those of ordinary people, but not excessively so; they should be finger bones of a human.

After obtaining the finger bone, Zhao Ningshen not only stabilized his cultivation but also improved it to a higher level.

At this moment, he saw Chen Wang blocking his supernatural power, and his brows furrowed.

Chen Wang's improvement was much greater than his.

When Chen Wang fought him before, his cultivation level was far inferior, and he could only rely on the magic weapon in his hand to keep up.

But things are different now. Chen Wang's cultivation is now only slightly weaker than his, and he can completely compete with him. How could Zhao Ningshen not be surprised?

Zhao Ningshen shouted and struck out with his palm.

In an instant, a giant hand appeared in the sky, containing terrifying immortal runes.

One of the runes shone the brightest, unlike any of the others. When this rune fell, all paths vanished into silence.

Chen Wang's heart sank as well.

Zhao Ningshen truly lived up to his title as the Celestial Venerable of the Great Flame Heaven; his cultivation was far superior to that of Liu Dunhuang, Jiang Yu, and others.

However, Chen Wang remained calm. Although Zhao Ningshen was a respectable and formidable opponent,

However, Chen Wang's cultivation level has also increased dramatically, and he has not yet had a proper battle.

At this moment, Chen Wang immediately threw a punch. His fist contained the power of gods and demons, but upon closer inspection, there was also the power of life and death beneath it.

He unified life and death with the concept of gods and demons, and with a single punch, he shattered the giant hand that Zhao Ningshen had conjured in an instant.

However, Zhao Ningshen had an extremely domineering rune in his hand. After it fell, it directly hit Chen Wang's fist, breaking Chen Wang's supernatural power.

Chen Wang shouted loudly!
At this moment, his eyes were blazing with fighting spirit, and Zhao Ningshen's heart was also burning with passion.

Unbeknownst to him, Chen Wang had grown to this extent.

However, Zhao Ningshen was extraordinary and immediately changed his preconceived notions about Chen Wang, treating him as a master of the same level to compete with.

Zhao Ningshen said, "You junior, you've finally made me take you seriously."

At this moment, he charged fiercely at Chen Wang.

In his view, Chen Wang had also fought against Qingxuan Daoist and was a combat genius, so he wanted to have a fair fight with Chen Wang.

At this moment, he pounced forward, but as Chen Wang approached Zhao Ningshen, he suddenly flipped his palm, and a small golden pagoda appeared in his hand: the Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Exquisite Pagoda.

"!!!"

Zhao Ningshen's pupils contracted.

He currently possesses no treasures that can rival the Golden Exquisite Pagoda of the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Chen Wang looked menacing, but unexpectedly, he suddenly attacked after getting close to him.

Zhao Ningshen's face twitched, and he cursed angrily, "You bastard!"

He had previously thought Chen Wang was a truly respectable opponent, but he never expected that this person would still be so insidious.

Chen Wang activated the Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Exquisite Pagoda and launched it directly at Zhao Ningshen, who quickly dodged.

His aggressive offensive was immediately interrupted, leaving him somewhat disheveled.

The Golden Exquisite Pagoda of the Thirty-Three Heavens was extremely powerful, shattering the void in an instant.

After Zhao Ningshen dodged, Chen Wang did not immediately pursue, but continued to activate the Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Exquisite Pagoda to bombard him.

Not only that, but a wind and fire wheel appeared beneath his feet, the Taiwei Palace appeared behind him, and he held up the Yin-Yang Daoist Book in his palm.

In an instant, they activated their four magical treasures and charged forward.

Zhao Ningshen was so angry that the corners of her mouth twitched.

However, magic weapons are also part of a cultivator's combat power, so Zhao Ningshen couldn't be blamed. After Chen Wang activated the four magic weapons, his cultivation level skyrocketed. Zhao Ningshen was injured by him one after another, leaving him with a bloody head and a limp.

This imposing celestial being, who seemed to have returned as a king, now looked extremely disheveled.

Chen Wang, with a broad smile, shouted, "Come on! If I even flinch, I'm no hero!"

Zhao Ningshen couldn't help but shout, "Relying on the power of your magic weapon, your true cultivation level is far inferior to mine!"

Chen Wang smiled and said, "So what? I'll beat you to death today and settle this old score."

Immediately, the Wind and Fire Wheels beneath Chen Wang's feet changed abruptly, and he appeared behind Zhao Ningshen, mercilessly activating the Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Exquisite Pagoda to smash down.

The Golden Pagoda of the Thirty-Three Heavens is extremely powerful and fierce; if one is struck by it, one will surely die.

Zhao Ningshen was also somewhat helpless.

The power Chen Wang unleashed on the pagoda was too much for him to handle.

He immediately used his spatial teleportation technique and instantly appeared on the other side of the Great Flame Heaven.

At this moment, Chen Wang once again urged the Wind and Fire Wheels to catch up. With the Wind and Fire Wheels, he was hard to match among the Tribulation Transcending cultivators in terms of speed.

Zhao Ningshen was beaten into a very sorry state. At first, he was able to fight back against Chen Wang, but later, after Chen Wang summoned the Mirror God, the Mirror God would occasionally shine a white light, which would restrain Zhao Ningshen's movements. Zhao Ningshen could only flee for his life in a panic.

After exchanging over a hundred blows, Zhao Ningshen realized the situation was dire and immediately tore through the void, disappearing into the distance.

Chen Wang sneered, "If I let you escape, what's the point of me living?"

He activated the magic weapon first in order to confuse Zhao Ningshen.

In fact, after his encounter with Zhao Ningshen, he realized that this once revered Heavenly Venerable of the Great Flame Heaven was nothing more than that.

This is not because Zhao Ningshen has become weaker; on the contrary, Zhao Ningshen's cultivation has actually improved, simply because Chen Wang's cultivation has surged.

He immediately activated the Great Dao of Gods and Demons, which transformed into a rope that bound Zhao Ningshen.

This turn of events caught Zhao Ningshen somewhat off guard. He swung his hand down as if wielding an unparalleled divine sword, instantly severing the rope formed by the Great Dao of Gods and Demons.

Zhao Ningshen was unimpressed. He was somewhat wary of Chen Wang using magic weapons, but Chen Wang was fighting him with his true cultivation level. Zhao Ningshen, an experienced Celestial Venerable, did not take him seriously at all.

At this moment, Chen Wang suddenly activated the Great Dao of Gods and Demons again. The rope formed by the Great Dao of Gods and Demons shattered and then turned into a small sword.

This small sword was no more than three inches long and as thin as paper, but it was incomparably sharp and pierced directly through Zhao Ningshen's brow.

Caught off guard, Zhao Ningshen let out a scream.

He was only wary of the Thirty-Three Heavens Golden Exquisite Pagoda and other magical treasures in Chen Wang's hands, but he did not expect that Chen Wang's own Great Dao had improved to such an extent that he had unknowingly fallen into the Dao!

Zhao Ningshen's body fell downwards.
Chen Wang's heart stirred, and he immediately urged the Divine Demon Small Sword to pierce through Zhao Ningshen, intending to turn Zhao Ningshen into a hornet's nest.

This person's cultivation was extremely powerful, and Chen Wang dared not be careless until he had completely killed him.

Just then, Zhao Ningshen, who had been like a corpse with a hole in his forehead, suddenly opened his eyes, and the wound on his forehead was quickly healed.

Chen Wang was also somewhat surprised, because this wound was no ordinary wound, but one left by the Great Dao of Gods and Demons. Without breaking the Great Dao of Gods and Demons, this injury could not be healed.

Zhao Ningshen's sudden change of heart surprised him.

After Zhao Ningshen opened his eyes, he couldn't help but curse, "You've injured me like this and you're still so cautious!" He flicked his finger, and an incomparably sharp divine light shot out, like a peerless sword aura, blasting towards Chen Wang's brow.

He actually tried to kill Chen Wang using the same method.

This turn of events surprised Chen Wang, although Chen Wang was much more extravagant than Zhao Ningshen.

A tremendous suppressive force suddenly appeared behind him in the Taiwei Palace, and the incomparably sharp and invisible peerless sword light suddenly slowed down.

Two Tai Chi fish, one black and one white, appeared on the Yin-Yang Daoist book. The Tai Chi fish moved, diverting the peerless sword light. The sword light deviated, grazing past Chen Wang, piercing through the Great Flame Heaven, and falling into the void and disappearing.

Zhao Ningshen and Chen Wang faced each other from a distance, their eyes gleaming with sharpness.

Zhao Ningshen sighed: "If it weren't necessary, I really wouldn't want to have an opponent like you."

Chen Wang said coldly, "I thought you only knew how to fight fairly and squarely, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless."

Zhao Ningshen's feigned death was clearly a trap set for Chen Wang. However, Chen Wang was cautious and only prepared to pierce Zhao Ningshen's body with the Divine Demon Sword, without rushing forward. Otherwise, if the distance had been any closer and Zhao Ningshen had been any more careless, he might have been killed instead.

Zhao Ningshen smiled and said, "After I left, you turned the Great Flame Heaven into a blank wasteland. I'm sure you're quite curious about where the Essence of Life and Dragon-Phoenix Cliff went."

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat: "So you really did take him away."

Zhao Ningshen smiled and said, "You're wrong. If I had those two things, I would take them out now to suppress you."

Chen Wang frowned slightly: "What do you mean by that?"

Zhao Ningshen smiled and said, "I made a deal with someone using these two items, but it's a pity that I used them on you. It feels like a waste."

A figure appeared, giving off a very cold and aloof feeling.

This was an old man in blue robes. After appearing, he pointed directly at the target!
Chen Wang was caught off guard.

However, Taiwei Palace immediately mobilized its immense suppressive power to counterattack, as did the Yin-Yang Dao Book, attempting to alter the power of cause and effect.

This time, the magic weapon reacted even faster than Chen Wang, but it still didn't work.

With a flick of his finger, the old man in green pointed at Chen Wang's brow, and a terrifying force invaded his brow, attempting to obliterate him.

This was clearly not the power of someone in the Tribulation Transcending stage. Chen Wang was utterly shocked, his hands and feet turning ice-cold.

"Damn it, I never thought I'd be defeated by him!"

Chen Wang's vision went black, and his consciousness almost vanished into darkness.

At this moment, within Chen Wang's sea of ​​consciousness, the Great Dragon's primordial spirit had completely fallen into a deep slumber.

Moreover, this attack was so powerful that even the dragon could not withstand it.

Its condition is really bad.

Just now.

The lotus flower in Chen Wang's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly trembled slightly.

Before Chen Wang appeared an ancient Thunder Pool. In this Thunder Pool, there was not just one lotus flower, but a whole pool of lotus flowers, although only one flower was in bloom.

In an instant, three lotus flowers bloomed simultaneously in the Thunder Pool.

Chen Wang sensed an extremely terrifying power, a power he had never encountered before.

Lotus flowers bloom in the Thunder Pool.
Chen Wang didn't know what this meant.

But when he opened his eyes again, he saw Zhao Ningshen with a look of horror on his face.

Chen Wang subconsciously touched his brow, but there was no wound.

He had no idea what had happened before, and how he had managed to escape unscathed.

Zhao Ningshen exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! What's going on? Who exactly are you?"

He was very wary of Chen Wang and had already begun to consider withdrawing.

They used up one of their chances to attack, but still failed to kill Chen Wang.

What had just happened was truly shocking to him.
