Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 313 Ascending the Earthly Ranking, the Undying Venerable King

Holding the Nine Heavens Punishment Blade, Li Xijun, whose imitation of the first move of the "Nine Heavens Calamity Blade of the Divine Firmament" "Purple Extreme Heaven - Destroying the Divine Firmament" was merely a superficial implication, triggered the Purple Extreme Divine Firmament Thunder Pillar, which carried the terrifying meaning of the return of all things to nothingness and the end of everything, and completely turned Fairy Muyue and her last struggle into ashes.

The thirty-sixth on the Earthly Ranking, the Moon-Bathing Fairy of the Joyful Union Mystic Maiden Sect, thus perished.

Almost at the very instant that Fairy Muyue's aura completely vanished, "Buzz!"

Another strange event has occurred over the capital!

The night sky, which had not yet fully calmed down due to the strange phenomenon of the thunder blade, was once again enveloped by a vast and boundless power.

The dazzling golden light pierced through the remaining thunderclouds, illuminating the entire sky as if it were daytime.

A gigantic, golden book-like phantom, seemingly woven from the laws of heaven and the mortal world, stretched across the sky, radiating supreme majesty that surpassed all living beings and recorded the past and present.

This is the manifestation of the Book of the Mortal World!

Whether it was the opposing sides on the Imperial Street battlefield or the countless martial artists and commoners in the capital who were alarmed, they all felt something and looked up in shock.

The golden book slowly unfurled, like the eye of heaven, indifferently surveying everything that had just happened.

Lines of gilded text, imbued with supreme will, appeared one by one, clearly imprinted in the depths of the hearts of every gazing observer:

[Great Summer, Great Cold, six days after snowfall.]

[Thunder roared through the heavens on the Imperial Street of the capital.]

[Li Xijun, the Star Lord of the Palace of Stars and Prince, wields the ancient Thunder God's relic, the Nine Heavens Heavenly Punishment Blade, within the third realm of the Outer Realm, revealing the true meaning of the Purple Extreme Divine Firmament.]

[With a single move, "Universal Annihilation," celestial punishment was invoked, and a pillar of lightning pierced the sky, forcefully slaying the thirty-sixth ranked fairy, Mu Yue, under the watchful eyes of the masses.]

This move transcends three insurmountable barriers, reversing the fate of a Grandmaster of the Dharma Aspect realm and shattering the conventional wisdom of martial arts once again!

[The profound mystery of its thunder magic has already captured the essence of ancient times; it has glimpsed the path to the Dharma body, and its brilliance is already fully revealed!]

Although he benefited from the divine weapon, his ability to bear its weight, comprehend its intent, and unleash its power demonstrates his exceptional talent!

[Changes in the rankings.]

[Ranked 29th on the Earthly Ranking, Li Xijun.]

[Divine weapons and dragons rise in rebellion, the Purple Heaven illuminates the Imperial Street!]

The golden text slowly dissipated, but the words "reverse the master's defeat", "break through the common sense of martial arts", and "first glimpse of the path of the Dharma body" seemed to carry the roar of the heavens and once again crashed heavily on everyone's cognitive barriers!

Eunuch Wei trembled with excitement, knelt down again, and spoke in a shrill voice filled with unparalleled fervor:

"Your Highness is divinely mighty! Your Highness is destined by Heaven!"

"To ascend to the 29th position on the Earthly Ranking with the third level of the Outer Realm, and to reverse the demise of a Grandmaster of the Dharma Aspect Realm—unheard of in ancient times, unique in this era. This old servant—this old servant is fortunate enough to serve Your Highness, a blessing earned through ten lifetimes!"

Mu Wanqiu let out a long sigh of relief, her beautiful eyes sparkling with admiration as she looked at Li Xijun, who stood holding a knife, her heart filled with shock.

"Twenty-ninth on the Earthly Ranking—that young man who was only at the Qi Accumulation Realm in the Li family mansion back then has now, in a short time, climbed up to the Earthly Ranking and is ranked alongside me."

Mu Qingyi was also deeply moved, murmuring, "This assessment from the Book of Mortals is truly apt. Our Great Xia has indeed welcomed a true dragon!"

For the first time, a look of solemnity and admiration appeared in the eyes of the stunningly beautiful woman in the pale yellow dress:

"By utilizing the three layers of external vision, relying on divine weapons and his own comprehension, he unleashed a sword technique imbued with a trace of the Dharma Body's intent—his talent in swordsmanship is probably no less than that in the art of the sword."

The four adopted sons under the command of the Crimson-Blooded Marquis looked at each other, each seeing disbelief and a hint of fear in the other's eyes.

The Earthly Ranking is 29th!

This means that Li Xijun has officially joined the ranks of the world's top grandmasters, and in the most domineering and unbelievable way!

Li Mang, the Red-Blooded Marquis, had a face so gloomy it was almost dripping with water.

Looking at the evaluation in the Book of Mortals, and then at Li Xijun, who was holding a thunder blade and whose aura was completely different from before, his killing intent and fear had reached their peak.

"This man—he must not be allowed to live! If he escapes now, he will surely become a major threat to the Marquis's health!"

The disciples and elders of the Star Palace were once again stunned by this new mortal worldly announcement.

"Earthly Ranking, number twenty-ninth? The Star Lord—he's only at the third level of the Outer Realm!"

"To reverse the execution of a Grandmaster of the Dharma Formation—this is yet another instance of breaking the ironclad rule!"

"The inheritance of the ancient Thunder God, the Nine Heavenly Punishment Blade—the Star Lord's opportunity is simply heaven-defying."

"Our constellation of stars shall prosper, shall prosper!"

Now in control of the Star Palace, the White Tiger Saintess Li Qinghan stood before the hall, gazing up at the dissipating golden afterglow, a complex and unfathomable expression appearing on her cool face.

There was pride, there was satisfaction, and there was also a hint of indescribable urgency.

"Twenty-ninth on the Earth Ranking—hope Jun, your speed is so fast, I can barely even see your back anymore." She murmured to herself, her delicate hands clenching slightly. "I can't fall too far behind—"

Jianmen, the forbidden area behind the mountain.

On a mountain cliff shrouded in mist, stand two ancient sword stones, each engraved with a bottomless sword mark that seems to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth.

A figure appeared silently beside the sword stone. This person was dressed in a simple blue robe, with an ancient face and gentle eyes, yet he seemed to possess a sharpness capable of cutting through the heavens and earth.

He is none other than Ye Wuqing, the contemporary master of the Sword Sect and a renowned high-ranking expert on the Heavenly Ranking, known as "Heavenly Sword".

He gazed at the dissipating golden characters in the sky in the direction of the capital, his eyes seemingly piercing through the endless void, landing on the Nine Heavens Punishment Blade in Li Xijun's hand.

"The ancient thunder god's weapon chooses its master—the remnants of ancient immortals and gods frequently appear, and spiritual energy is gradually recovering—today, the secrets of heaven are becoming increasingly chaotic, and the signs of a great change have already emerged."

He spoke softly, with a hint of world-weariness, "Now that Thor has made his move, the winds of change in the world are about to be completely stirred up."

Western Regions, Vajra Temple.

In a solemn Buddhist land, beneath an ancient twin Sala trees, a middle-aged monk dressed in simple robes, with skin as pale gold as if cast from crystal and precious jade, slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for countless years.

He didn't exude any powerful aura, yet he gave off a sense of imposing weight, like Mount Sumeru, unshakable and impervious to all laws.

He was ranked third on the Earthly Ranking, but was hailed as the best in the world in terms of physical strength and physique. He once debated with Shaolin in the Central Plains, withstood the seven Shaolin skills of the Shaolin master, Master Miaofa, and escaped with ease. He was known as the "Grand Master of Buddhism - Undying Venerable King".

He uttered a deep, resonant Buddhist chant: "Amitabha."

"The Nine Heavenly Punishment Blade has appeared in the world, and the successor of the Thunder God has emerged. Cause and effect, karma and destiny, are intertwined. This old monk's body, after a period of stillness, is now restless and should enter the world to settle old karmic debts with this 'Thunder of Ending'."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly stood up.

As he stood up, the entire Vajra Temple seemed to tremble slightly. The ancient sal tree moved without wind, its leaves rustling as if bidding him farewell.

The strange phenomenon of the Book of Mortals on the Imperial Street of the capital had just dissipated, but the somber atmosphere on the Imperial Street did not diminish in the slightest.

Li Mang, the valiant Marquis, watched helplessly as Fairy Muyue was killed, the divine weapon changed hands, and Li Xijun ascended to the Earth Ranking. His own side was doomed, and his ally, the Money Gang Leader, was probably also considering retreating. All sorts of setbacks and anger intertwined, turning his tiger eyes completely blood red.

"Li! hope! Jun!" He practically spat out those three words through clenched teeth, his voice filled with murderous intent.

He knew that his plan had completely failed and had even benefited Li Xijun.

This will ensure that the prince, who originally had no foundation after ascending to the throne and whose position was not even certain to be secure, will be able to firmly assume the throne from today onwards, greatly enhancing his prestige and the hearts of the people.

But he was unwilling to leave just like that!

Even if we have to leave, we must do everything in our power before we go to severely damage, or even kill, this major threat!

"Die, all of you!"

The Crimson-Blooded Marquis let out a deafening roar, unleashing his full power as an eighth-level cultivator from the Outer Realm.

The fiery dharma image behind him expanded wildly, transforming into a crimson celestial dragon hundreds of feet long, with scales and claws bared!

"Fire Dragon Across the Eight Desolations - Devouring the Sun!"

He thrust both palms forward with a mighty roar, and the Crimson Flame Dragon let out a roar that tore through the sky. It opened its enormous maw, which seemed capable of devouring the sun, moon, and stars, carrying the ultimate destructive power to burn the eight wastelands and melt the heavens and earth. No longer paying attention to the entanglement between Eunuch Wei and Mu Wanqiu, it turned around and, with a tragic momentum of mutual destruction, pounced fiercely on Li Xijun, who had just withdrawn the Thunder Blade and whose aura had not yet fully calmed down.

This strike contained all his life's work and all his anger and resentment, its power far exceeding any of his previous moves. Where the flames passed, space distorted, and the bluestone on the Imperial Street began to melt, turning into scalding lava.

He was going to make one last desperate gamble at this final moment!
