From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Although Xu Xing has always relied on his martial arts skills to dominate the world since his debut, his primordial spirit was cultivated using the most orthodox Taoist methods, and he has his own understanding of Taoist magic.

In fact, even without using the primordial spirit and the realm of shattering the vacuum, Xu himself still holds a divine position representing a great supernatural being in the vast and mysterious world.

Now, the Primordial Demon Ancestor has sealed all of Xu Xing's supernatural martial arts based on his primordial spirit and physical body, but this has instead made Xu Xing's spiritual awareness, which is rooted in the innate Taiyi, more acute than ever before.

Although the Thirty-Two Heavens of Heaven collapsed, the Three Pure Ones Heaven, symbolizing the Three Pure Ones, and the supreme Great Luo Heaven, seemed to merge with the "mysterious and boundless world," or even surpass it, completely unaffected and unshaken.

Even the most powerful beings at the Heavenly Venerable level can only vaguely sense the existence of the Three Pure Ones when they enter the deepest state of meditation, but they cannot touch the Great Luo Heaven, let alone ascend it in person.

But now, the throne belonging to Xu Xing is clearly visible in the Great Luo Heaven. The chaotic energy is surging and turbulent, like the waves of a raging sea, and a bright moon rises from within it, radiant and crystal clear.

At the same time, three other streams of energy rose from the ruins of the collapsed Heavenly Court and went straight into the Great Luo Heaven.

One is the harmony of Yin and Yang, forming the Taiji; another is the virtue of carrying all things, vast and boundless; and the third is the clash of swords and the strife of war. These three vital energies leap and dart like dragons, circling the bright moon endlessly, and gradually merging into it, truly becoming one with this thing.

Baosheng Emperor could see it very clearly: it was the ancestral energy left in the Heavenly Court by the two top supernatural beings, Zhenwu Emperor and Dihuang, as well as the divine position of Gouchen Emperor!

Zhenwu and Dihuang both established their own Daoist temples within the Heavenly Court system, making them typical examples of those who obey orders but not summons. They also had a karmic connection with Xu Xing, which goes without saying.

Although Emperor Gouchen has completely perished, his divine position as one of the Four Emperors has not been destroyed. Now, this divine position has been stirred by Xu Xing's fist intent and has come to serve him on its own.

With the blessing of these three great energies, the moonlight changed several times, and gradually a misty Dharma image appeared within it. It was wrapped in a primordial cloth, held a whisk, had a ruyi scepter hanging at its waist, and wore a blue and white Taoist robe. Its clothes fluttered and merged into the chaotic energy.

With the Great Luo Heaven as its robe and the Three Pure Heavens as its headquarters, it reigns supreme over the highest heavens and commands the eight wastelands and six directions. All that it sees, the creation of yin and yang, life and death, illusion and destruction, are in its grasp!
At this moment, the same honorific title resounded throughout the countless galaxies of the material universe, in every void realm, and even in the boundless and infinitely mysterious world.

—The Supreme Martial God of Tribulation and Mighty Spirit!
The moment this Celestial Venerable was born, without needing any additional supernatural powers, he stood at the source of all fundamental laws, making all beings aware of his existence, causing heaven and earth to make way for him, and the universe to praise him!

The Purple Palace of the Celestial Empire holds the mirror of war, while the Crimson Cauldron of Revolution holds the pivot of calamity.

In response to the impending calamity, the Jade Edict was proclaimed, and the Mysterious Mirror's light subdued all demons.

The Supreme Lord of the Nine Heavens, the Mighty and Powerful Heavenly Venerable!
Amidst the praise, even great masters like Zhang Sanfeng were momentarily stunned, their fighting spirit and will to fight boiling to the limit, and their minds suddenly overflowing with endless inspiration, weaving together all sorts of new martial arts techniques.

The remaining Heavenly Emperors and Immortals, including Shenxiao Yuqing Zhenwang, also felt an unprecedented and fierce fighting spirit igniting in their chests.

In fact, this fighting spirit did not conform to the cultivation principles of the immortals and gods, but at this moment, this burning intent was like a clear light, illuminating their minds and bodies and even suppressing their strong demonic thoughts!
Although Xu Xing's spirit was surrounded by the Primordial Demon Ancestor, it resonated with the "Great Heavenly Venerable of Mighty Spirit and Martial Might," just like looking in a mirror by lamplight and reflecting on oneself.

The Great Celestial Venerable stood on the Three Pure Heavens and supported the Great Luo Heaven with one hand. His Dao Realm suddenly opened up, with celestial palaces arrayed and gods paying homage. Hundreds of millions of heavenly soldiers and immortal saints followed him, riding dragons and cranes, possessing boundless power. He confronted the Primordial Demon Ancestor across the void, vying with each other.

Having temporarily shed his primordial spirit and physical body, and attained his own Heavenly Venerable position, Xu Xing viewed the Heavenly Court, Mount Ling, and even the entire mysterious and boundless world from a different perspective.

In this state, he was able to better understand what the Dao Venerable left behind was, which was the "Mysterious Virtue" realm where the Dao resided.

Only those who have possessed everything, created everything, and given up everything can comprehend the true meaning of "born without possessing, nurtured without dominating," and thus reach this realm.

The realm of "Xuande" does not possess any extraordinary power; it is merely a perspective that is purely detached yet integrated into.

The Yang Gods of the Yang God Universe, who shatter the vacuum realm, are completely opposite. What they pursue is to become the central hub of the universe, the eternal protagonist, whose thoughts can turn heaven and earth, and whose breath can move the starry river.

Although Xu Xing cultivated these two realms through his own universe and was able to maintain independence from the external world, he was still inevitably affected by this path, which is why he could never experience this realm again.

Thinking of this, the pill formed by his spiritual essence trembled slightly, releasing all defensive measures and absorbing all the demonic energy into his heart, almost like opening the door to let in thieves, holding the Tai'a sword upside down!

The Primordial Demon Ancestor would not be polite to Xu Xing and immediately unleashed his divine powers to attack him with all his might, directly striking at the very foundation of his humanity!
But the demonic thoughts that had previously come on so fiercely, as if they were about to engulf everything, are now like a dream, a mirage, and cannot touch this spiritual realm in the slightest.

Then I heard a soft chant:
"The moon remains the moon, the shadow remains the shadow, and you let the pond's heart ripple with the waves, while I, in the mid-sky, shine exceptionally bright!"

Amidst the whistling sound, the Lingmei Pill burst forth with powerful demonic energy, even abandoning its primordial spirit and physical body, truly merging with the "Mighty Spirit Martial Supreme Heavenly Venerable"!

In that instant, not only the power of the Three Pure Ones Heaven and the Great Luo Heaven, but also the remaining immortals and gods, as well as the dormant system of heavenly rules, were all awakened by Xu Xing and completely brought under his control.

For Xu Xing, or rather for the current "Mighty Spirit Martial Supreme Heavenly Venerable", these powers are undoubtedly external objects.

However, in the realm of "Xuande", although everything in heaven and earth is not under one's control, it is all related to oneself. The distinction between inside and outside, and the distinction between self and others, are no longer important. It is truly a state of enlightenment that allows one to see the unique, and seeing the unique allows one to transcend the past and present. Transcending the past and present allows one to enter a state of immortality and non-birth.

Although Xu Xingzhi's spirit retreated and the Primordial Demon Ancestor did not achieve the greatest victory, he took the opportunity to corrupt Xu Xingzhi's primordial spirit and physical body, transforming them back into the foundation for his existence. Xu Xingzhi broke free from the Haotian Mirror and returned to the world!

The current battle situation is similar to when Xu Xing controlled the Heavenly System and fought against the Heavenly Demon Star. The difference is that he is now able to stand on equal footing with the Primordial Demon Ancestor, or even be superior.

After acquiring Xu Xing's body capable of shattering the vacuum and his primordial spirit at the level of a Yang God, the Primordial Demon Ancestor's aura became unprecedentedly powerful.

Even without spiritual awareness, these two supreme realms are the crystallization of the cultivation path of the Yangshen Universe. With the power of the Primordial Demon Ancestor, he could completely master them in just a few breaths.

Two illusory figures emerged from his body: one like the sun traversing the sky, moving steadily and following the way of Heaven; the other like the vast earth, bearing all things and following the power of Earth.

Now, although the aura of the Primordial Demon Ancestor is not as fierce as when he gathered ten times the power before, his foundation is more stable and solid. His connection with this universe has also become several times stronger, truly reaching the realm of oneness with heaven and earth.

This time, even if he revealed a flaw again, the Haotian Mirror would not be able to move it away.

The Primordial Demon Ancestor's eyes darted to the side, and a hint of joy finally appeared in his gaze, revealing a smile that resembled that of the Plague King.

From the two major cultivation paths of the Yangshen Universe, he has deduced the supreme "Other Shore" realm.

Although this is a legend that no one has ever reached throughout history, for the Primordial Demon Ancestor, who has been invincible, lonely, and bound for too long, it is nothing less than a beam of light piercing through the darkness.

So this is what power can be! So this is what pure power can break through all constraints and shatter all shackles!
Although the aura of the Primordial Demon Ancestor had become increasingly powerful, Xu Xing's gaze was no longer focused on him. Instead, he lowered his head, looked at his own hands, and felt a surge of emotion.

These hands are the most reliable tools that mankind has relied on since ancient times. Once clenched into a fist, they become the most primitive weapon of struggle and Xu Xing's greatest reliance since he began practicing martial arts.

Whether it's bone clubs, swords, spears, halberds, or even modern firearms, airplanes, cannons, and all sorts of super-powerful weapons from the interstellar age, they were all created by these hands.

All struggles and all weapons originate from this.

All achievements and all changes are like this.

Now, Xu Xing clenched his fist, as if he were holding the sharpest and strongest divine weapon.

His thoughts spread, but ultimately condensed into a single sentence.

Four words.

"One punch, the final chapter."

As soon as the divine thought was sent out, the Primordial Demon Ancestor had already condensed his form, and his body radiated 129,600 rounds of light.

Within each ray of light resided a demon king, demon lord, or demon god, evolving into layers upon layers of demonic realms, constantly trembling, as if they had already grasped the most powerful force in the world.

Above the 129,600 halos, there was a mysterious and ethereal phantom, reaching far and wide, encompassing the universe. It was the primordial demonic spirit condensed by the Primordial Demon Ancestor.

The two combined to make the aura of the Primordial Demon Ancestor reach a level that is all-encompassing and truly unparalleled in the world.

Conversely, Xu Xing's existence became ethereal, and the endless praises gradually weakened, as if suppressed by the aura of the Primordial Demon Ancestor.

But his expression remained unchanged as he walked step by step toward the Primordial Demon Ancestor, revealing nothing mysterious about him.

The Primordial Demon Ancestor also composed himself, stood solemnly, and went to meet Xu Xing.

If it weren't for the fact that the two powerful figures were currently in the vastness of space, this scene would look exactly like ordinary martial artists exchanging blows.

Zhang Sanfeng and the others originally intended to kill the Primordial Demon Ancestor together, but after seeing the expression on Xu Xing's face, they all chose to stop and wait for this ultimate battle belonging to the strongest.

Although the three of them have different personalities and experiences, they all have one thing in common: they are absolutely confident and proud of their own martial arts.

That's why they were able to understand Xu Xing's thoughts and give him a fair chance to fight.

The moment the two took their first step, a terrifying aftershock exploded, spreading across the eight directions and encompassing all ten, transforming into an extremely terrifying spacetime storm that swept away one brilliant galaxy after another, shattering them into pieces, before sweeping into the endless sea of ​​stars.

Both scenarios occurred at the same time, as if the aftershocks of their battle had penetrated the timeline, spreading infinitely towards the past and the future, causing countless unrest and chaos that were difficult to quell.

Zhang Sanfeng and others came from outside the realm, and their cultivation was already sufficient to prevent them from being affected. However, native experts such as Emperor Baosheng experienced constant changes in their physical forms and sudden shifts in their aura.

The Earthly Immortal Realm, which had barely managed to remain intact, shattered the moment the two came into contact. Fortunately, Zhang Sanfeng and the others were watching over the area, which saved the lives within.

After about a breath, the two peerless experts, who had been walking slower and slower, finally stood together. The aftershocks that seemed to have descended from the future and surged from the past also stopped the moment they clashed.

The place where the two were located now seemed to be truly independent from the universe, no longer bound by time and space. It was both eternal and indestructible, yet also fleeting and annihilated in an instant.

After delivering his attack, the Primordial Demon Ancestor did not retract his hand. Instead, he lowered his head, stared blankly at his arm, and remained silent for a long time.

Xu Xing's already faint figure became even more ethereal, as if it would completely dissipate with a gust of wind, leaving no trace and no mark whatsoever.

But a smile he had never shown before appeared on his face, and he was extremely pleased. He raised a finger and shook it at the Primordial Demon Ancestor, laughing:
"I know you want to intercept my fist intent and use it immediately to unleash the full potential of your physical body and primordial spirit, but you can't do it, and I'm not afraid that you can."

As Xu Xing spoke, he opened his arms wide, as if to receive the praises rising from the hearts of all living beings, or to embrace the fragmented universe. His tone became increasingly impassioned.

"The revolution of Tang and Wu was in accordance with the will of Heaven and the will of the people. You thought that Heaven had a cause and effect, and that every bite and sip had its consequences. So you planned for millions of years, and when the time came, you immediately took advantage of the situation to rise up."

"In fact, what you and even the Buddhists call the great trend, destiny, or even fate is nothing more than the accumulation of various human factors. Since the ancients could create karma, people today can naturally turn the tide and restore order. This is the true meaning of following the will of Heaven!"

"What is Heaven? Heaven hears as my people hear, Heaven sees as my people see! If Heaven's way is not like this, then Heaven's way is wrong, and someone will lend it a helping hand to bring it back on the right track!"

The Primordial Demon Ancestor remained silent for a long while, his expression unchanged, only murmuring:

"Is this the way of the Dao Venerable?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xing simply burst into laughter:
"The gods reside within me, and the Dao resides in my heart, but ultimately, I am the master and the one who upholds it. Only humans can determine the true meaning of the Dao. In heaven and on earth, I alone am supreme!"

Upon hearing these words, the Primordial Demon Ancestor once again displayed the expression of the Plague Lord. He did not become angry, but coldly said:

"Insanity!"

These two words are both the Plague God's heartfelt feelings and the Primordial Demon Ancestor's own thoughts.

To him, the words "Dao Zun" symbolize the infinite and boundless, all-knowing, all-present, and all-powerful. To think about it is to be wrong, and it is impossible to fathom.

Although Xu Xing has defeated him, it was only by relying on the legacy of the Daoist Master that he dares to speak like this.

Upon hearing these words, Xu Xing merely raised a finger, swept it across the powerful cultivators beneath him, and said calmly:

“If the Daoist Master were alive, he would surely understand me and agree with me. I understand him better than you, his worshippers and Daoists, have misunderstood him and even insulted him.”

"What a pity, what a pity, that he is no longer in this world. When we meet again someday, I, Xu, will definitely ask him for a drink."

Xu Xing said this with great regret, but his tone was so arrogant that it was beyond belief!
The Primordial Demon Ancestor was also stunned for a moment, savoring the feeling, and then turned to look at the Three Pure Heavens beneath Xu Xing's feet, and the Great Luo Heaven behind him.

At that moment, he gained a completely new understanding.

It seemed that the vague, chaotic image in my memory suddenly took shape, shedding its murky aura and revealing a bright, clean, and crystalline appearance.

That appearance was naturally Xu Xing. It seemed that all the imprints left by the Dao Venerable in this world had been recognized by this arrogant junior, and he was even more pleased with this person's self-esteem, pride, self-confidence and self-reliance.

This battle was less a contest between Xu Xing and the Primordial Demon Ancestor, and more a profound exchange, or even an exchange, between the two.

Now, the answer is clear: he lost.

It wasn't that they were defeated by supernatural powers, nor by their inherent lack of spiritual insight, but rather by their level of understanding and their own system.

Ultimately, he still failed to transcend the constraints of the Heavenly Demon system and gain his freedom. (End of Chapter)
