Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 204 Above the title, one becomes a giant! With divine armor, I subdue countless corpses, forging myself into the great master of Qi cultivation I am today!

The Palace of the Three-Five Slayers, the Great Altar for Sacrificing to Heaven!
Deep within this 'altar'.
In a dark and gloomy place, apart from the swirling purple lightning and twelve enormous chains, each as thick as a bowl, layered upon each other, binding a figure, there was nothing else.

And at this time.

Strands of intense lightning, seemingly penetrating everywhere, surged wildly towards the 'figure' bound by heavy locks.

Even just a glimpse of its power was enough to send shivers down one's spine, revealing a trace of the might of a great deity. Even an ordinary titled person would find it impossible to withstand it.

It is foreseeable that if no unexpected event occurs, then as time goes by, being trapped in this great altar for a long time will eventually cause the body and soul to be completely melted away by this bone-dissolving method.

Xu Longxiang had his eyes slightly closed, his spine slightly bent, and his head lowered. He did not move at all, as if he was dozing.

but.
As those wisps of intense lightning energy seeped into every pore of his body, it appeared that his aura weakened further.

Despite being tempered by hundreds of strands of 'fierce lightning', this old martial saint remained as still as a clay sculpture, seemingly undisturbed and calm, just like a stone sinking into the sea.

Until the divine thoughts of three or five evil-slaying gods suddenly appeared on the 'Altar of Heaven' at the top, then the outside world roared and clamored with the voices of the ten generals and countless grass-covered divine armor.
Finally, the seemingly decaying old man stirred slightly and opened his eyes.

The moment I opened my eyes.

Like a tangible bolt of lightning, it seemed to shoot out from Xu Longxiang's eyes.

Click click click
Immediately following was the sound of bones trembling, like metal clashing, as the old man slowly straightened his spine and raised his head from his state of being bound by twelve chains.
boom!
Xu Longxiang simply raised his hand and gave it a gentle tug!
In an instant, all twelve martial arts-forbidden locks, each carrying a wisp of divine thought from the 'Guangfa Ganglei Shengdi', began to tremble and shake wildly, like thousands of wild horses galloping together!
The old man's aura gradually recovered from its initial weakness. As his spirit and martial arts prowess rose little by little, he became completely undisguised and steadily increased in strength!
"My seclusion for sixty years was not a period of isolation or stagnation."

A whisper.

Followed by.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
All that could be seen was an ancient dragon-elephant slowly rising from behind him. Then, around Xu Longxiang's body, layers of lightning seemed to flow across his skin, lifting his entire body and slowly floating into the air.
this moment.

His gray hair fluttered slowly behind him, occasionally crackling with purple lightning, making him look like an ancient god who wielded the power of thunder!
"Guangfa Ganglei Shengdi is one of the eight departments of Zhonghuang, and the Thunder Department Shengdi who is in charge of 'thunder'. Although he cannot be considered a legitimate figure in the Thunder Dao with one prefecture, two courts and three departments, his 'Guangfa Ganglei' is quite miraculous."

"This altar for worshipping Heaven has been used to worship Him for at least three to five hundred years, and its divine power is as great as a prison."

However, from this day forward...

"Then there was nothing left."

Hearing the growing clamor of war and fighting from the outside world.

Having already awakened his divine spirit, Xu Longxiang was able to travel day and night, seeing everything through all barriers.

When he saw that his three chief disciples and his student had traveled thousands of miles, braving dangers and even risking their lives to come and find him, his eyes first showed relief.

Following closely behind, upon seeing the group trapped in prison, his expression suddenly turned cold.

Along with the twelve giant chains of divine power carrying the divine might of 'Guangfa Gang Lei' that were wrapped around his arms and legs, they also began to shake and crackle!
"After the three or five slayings, I borrow this place to refine my 'human immortal foundation' in order to become a 'giant' and break free from the shackles of the sixty-year cycle."

"You really think you can suppress me by using the place where 'Guangfa Ganglei' is enshrined?!"

"joke!"

"If He were to personally descend from the celestial stars and stand before me, perhaps that would be more appropriate, but it would merely be a mere 'sacrificial site'."

"What other possibility is there besides being swallowed whole by me and refined into my foundation!?"

"As for your 'Divine Palace'..."

"You dare to scheme against my disciple? Once you break free of your shackles, I'll kidnap him. There's no need for him to remain in your hands any longer!"

Boom!

And the outside world!
Like a muffled thunderclap in a clear sky, followed by a sudden earthquake, as if a god was about to be born to vent his anger!
The joy on Zheng Luo's face grew ever stronger:

Yes, it can't be wrong, it can't be wrong.

"The patriarch is truly not dead; he is genuinely trying to break through that 'threshold' and join the ranks of the 'giants'!"

Tuoba Yue and Shen Gang, who were already on high alert and facing a life-or-death situation, couldn't help but shudder. It was as if that 'title' had some kind of magical power.

Immediately, Ji Xiu, who had never heard of this place before in the prefectural city, couldn't help but ask, even though he was in a dangerous situation:

"The three chiefs, what does 'giant' mean?"

Tuoba Yue raised the Qi Dao Hammer and looked at the guardian generals and various divine armors who should have been shouting battle cries and rushing towards them.

Even with divine might as powerful as a mountain and a tsunami, at this moment, his rugged brows relaxed slightly, and his grip on his hands loosened.

Seeing the earth tremble beneath his feet, the clear sky suddenly darken, and even the divine net woven above his head begin to flicker, the Grand Chief of the Dragon and Elephant Sect smiled broadly and offered a brief explanation:

"A martial artist must pass the strength barrier, break through the qi barrier, and become a 'master of qi cultivation.' Then, by passing the three barriers of the Qi Sea, the master of the flawless school, and the Dragon and Tiger expert, one can condense the 'True Intent of Martial Saint' and enter the upper three realms of the title!"

"However, there are also differences between the three realms!"

"And every small step is like an insurmountable chasm."

“You have seen martial saints, such as those who followed the path of their predecessors to achieve their goals, like myself, and Gao Zheng and Ning Buyu not long ago, all of whom are in this category.”

"Although we may see the glamour, only we know the bitterness in our hearts."

"Relying on the remaining will of the ancestors' divine thoughts to reach the title, one can only stagnate at the level of 'Martial Saint' in this life, and it is difficult to make any further progress."

“But Grandmaster, he is different.”

Tuoba Yue changed the subject, his tone revealing admiration:
"His Qi cultivation foundation is the 'True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Profound Skill', and his Heavenly Skill is one of the Three Records of True Martial, the 'Mysterious Heaven Creation Martial Dao Record'. His foundation is very profound."

"He secluded himself for sixty years, partly because of the death of his senior brother, Ip Man Kong, and partly..."

"The goal is to begin to understand the 'giant'!"

"The so-called giants are those above the Martial Saint, and only those who have condensed the foundation of a Human Immortal can attain this status."

"A powerful figure in this region, known throughout the entire Beicang!"

"If the founder truly became a giant..."

"Then he can be compared with the 'Six Clans and Five Orthodox Families' and the orthodox high-ranking families. Even if he wants to bring back the remains of his senior brother 'Ip Man Kong' and make him recognize his ancestors, he can withstand the pressure from behind!"

A giant!

Ji Xiu was shocked.

At this moment, he finally lifted the veil of the 'mysterious corner' of the Upper Three Realms a little.
Pseudo-Martial Saint, Titled Martial Saint, Regional Giant!
What about going up next?

It seemed that she sensed the shock in his expression.

Tuoba Yue let out another long sigh:
"A giant among men, he is only one step away from the pinnacle of humanity, the one who is said to be able to open the 'Heavenly Gate' with his own strength."

"But this step is the difference between a pillar of heaven and a king, and a regional governor who holds the reins of a state."

"How many prodigies, whose names are listed first on the Dragon Infant Stele, have spent their entire lives cultivating only to reach the level of a giant, yet they can only gaze at the 'Gate of Heaven' and find it difficult to enter?"

"These four words have stopped countless heroes from crossing the river, all bowing their heads in despair. Those who can reach the threshold like the patriarch have all gone through countless trials and exhausted their potential."

The pinnacle of human achievement.

Simple and straightforward, just four big characters.

This caused Ji Xiu's heart to tremble violently at that moment.

At this moment, he finally understood why the 'Ten Heavenly Pillars and Nine Great Chambers' were considered the pinnacle of sects and families.

With such an 'invincible' existence suppressing the underlying strength
Why can't we carve out our own territory within the Great Mystery, becoming a state within a state, obeying orders but not decrees?
"So the 'Ancestral Court of the Sword Dao' behind my Heavenly Sword lineage was this powerful at its peak!" At this moment, Ji Xiu finally glimpsed a corner of the Heavenly Pillar's full picture.

At the same time, the thought of the 'Ancestral Court of the Sword' falling apart and being torn to pieces brought a bitter taste to his mouth.
He hadn't quite grasped the significance of things before.

If even such a colossal entity can be torn apart, how terrifying must it be?
What about the peerless master who suppressed the 'ancestral court of swordsmanship'?

Just as he was thinking for a moment longer.

Suddenly!
On the sacrificial altar, the divine sense of the 'Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord' rose again, but at this moment it seemed to be being devoured by something, and began to become extremely weak!
The deity looked into the 'cage' deep within the giant platform, his eyes filled with disbelief. However, he then turned to Ji Xiu and the others and shouted sternly:
"What are you standing there for? It's just a little commotion. Now subdue these Great Xuan people for me!"

Immediately, the Three-Five Slaying Evil God's eyes flickered with uncertainty.

how is this possible
The old martial artist who was suppressed underneath was actually refining the power of the 'Guangfa Ganglei Divine Saint'!?
When they fought before, due to Tianyu's suppression, the Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord could not sense that Xu Longxiang had actually reached the peak of Martial Saint.

Realizing this at that moment, he caused the three hundred years of 'Guangfa Gang Lei' accumulated within the sacrificial altar to be completely devoured by this fiend. Seeing that it was about to break free of its cage, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret!

Why is the 'gateway' passage within his divine palace different from those opened by others as recorded in the annals?

That old man is a bit too ruthless!

The Temple of the Three-Five Slaying Evil Gods.

Suddenly, standing in the newly renovated temple, the true form of the Three-Five Slaying Evil God Lord opened his 'third eye'.

Then a beam of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, passed through the 'divine net' and shot straight up to the stars in the sky!

"The Three-Five Slaying Clan petitions the 'Divine God of the Vast Dharma Thunder,' beseeching the Divine God to descend to the mortal realm, slay the wicked, and protect the Dharma land!"

He then resorted to special means to try and summon the 'Zhou Tian Divine Being' to descend.
Followed by.

Suddenly, he felt the divine thoughts manifested on the 'Altar of Heaven' being shaken again.

"What's going on?"

The Three-Five Slaying Evil God felt one trouble after another piled up and rushed towards him, causing him to have a terrible headache.

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful for not agreeing to the assistance from the two neighboring divine palaces.

And followed closely behind.

When the Three-Five Slaying Evil God once again harnessed his divine sense and manifested on the sacrificial altar, it had already been gradually devoured by Xu Longxiang and was becoming transparent.

This is not counting.

He was even more astonished when he saw billowing smoke in the distance, and black-armored warlords, almost fully armored, stepping out from the 'Boundary Gate' and marching straight in like a rainbow, about to invade the sacrificial altar area.

Where did this powerful warlord from?

Didn't you say you wanted to collude with me and cooperate with me?

What a liar!
Looking at the imposing army formation, a large black banner was raised above their heads, obscuring the entire army's formation and faintly carrying a 'Great Profound Aura,' even withstanding some of the pressure from the heavens.

The black-armored warriors were all suppressed and their effects were negligible. They rushed towards the area around the sacrificial altar, where they had nearly 80% of their resources.

In the final moments before being completely devoured and consumed by Xu Longxiang.

The God of the Three Five Slaying Evils felt a chill in his heart.

at the same time.

Looking at the Ten Directions Divine Armor that was surrounded, especially the 'Beicang' battle flag fluttering in the wind.
Tuoba Yue lifted the Qi-wielding hammer and breathed a sigh of relief!
“These are the personal guards of Xiao Pingnan, the Marquis of Beicang.”

"It is rumored that Xiao Pingnan, the Marquis of Beicang, is the most valued general of the feudal lord Chen Xuanque. He even went so far as to request a title for him, named after Beicang, clearly intending to groom him as the next successor."

"This man once personally led his guards to break into the 'Boundary Gate' thirteen times, and returned victorious every time."

"The fact that he led his troops here proves that Gao Zheng, Ning Buyu, and the others have been suppressed by him and are no longer a threat."

Marquis of Beicang, Xiao Pingnan.
Looking at the billowing smoke in the distance, and a vast military banner standing against the wind, one could vaguely sense a general leading a thousand troops.

Ji Xiu pondered to himself, "Is this Xiao Mingli's father, the one who was favored by the daughter of a wealthy family and was willing to betray his family to become a Marquis of Daxuan?"

Truly extraordinary!

Seeing the divine armored warriors in disarray, the scene in chaos, and just as a battle seemed imminent, Tuoba Yue straightened up:
"Daozi, if a fight breaks out later, remember to stick close to us old folks. The patriarch hasn't been born yet, and it would be too much to be caught off guard."

However, he didn't finish his sentence.

Ji Xiu looked at the ten generals, one of whom, with a missing arm and weakened aura, was holding a golden mace and had an ugly expression. Yet, he had already charged forward alone, which surprised Tuoba Yue.

But when he saw the faint but powerful aura of the 'Jiazi Demon-Slaying Technique' emanating from Ji Xiu, which grew stronger as he shattered the divine armor, he withdrew his hand and turned to look at the Second and Third Chiefs:

Did you all see that?

Zheng Luo and Shen Gang exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously:

"No mistake, it's a True Martial Heavenly Pillar level Qi Dao True Skill, the one that condenses the 'Jiazi Demon Slaying' technique."

"The Daoist was actually able to withstand that kind of 'true skill,' and even comprehend it?"

The three looked at each other, utterly shocked.

To know.

Even Ip Man-kong back then couldn't comprehend it!

In other words...
The Daoist disciple chosen by the Patriarch is truly a prodigy!
"Daozi wants to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to unleash a massacre!"

"he"

"He intends to use this 'heretical killing scheme' to forge his achievements as a 'master of Qi cultivation,' condense an unparalleled Qi Sea, and vanquish demons for sixty years!"

The three chiefs of the Dragon and Elephant Sects understood Ji Xiu's meaning in just a moment of conversation, and therefore followed Ji Xiu without hesitation, step by step!
At this moment, the three of them transformed into Ji Xiu's 'protectors,' preventing him from being targeted and killed by the elite disciples among those guardian deities.

Ji Xiu himself protected his soul with the 'Great Dao Purple Mansion', preventing it from being disturbed by divine means.

He then donned his immortal robes, drew his spirit sword Changzhou, and used divine talisman fire to float on the blade's surface. He unleashed the first chapter of the "Great Five Decays Heavenly Sword," the Calamity Fire Burning Clothes, combining two different true flames to unleash even greater power. He slashed his way through, leaving countless corpses in his divine armor!

Simultaneously
The aura of the Jiazi Demon-Slaying Technique grew stronger and stronger, causing the 'True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Slaying Profound Skill' that Ji Xiu had pre-received to increase significantly!

[The ordination master slays the heretical divine armor, amplifying the 'True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mystic Art,' and greatly increasing the advance progress.]

+37 +44 +65

The general who was summoning spirits and manifesting saints, who saw him getting closer and closer, was startled and his hair stood on end.

this moment.

He recognized the young martial arts fanatic who had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and was protected by three martial artists with auras as deep as abyss.
Who exactly is he?!
"you"

"Is it that kid from Anning County back then!?"

In just six months!

How could he possibly be that capable?!

This,

This is what they mean by "a scholar should be looked at with new eyes after three days of separation."
