A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

"Let's go take a look!"

As Luo Cheng spoke, he used his divine power to protect Lin Chen and took her with him to Fengyuan Star.

When the two arrived, Li Qiang was already hovering above Fengyuan Star.

In the distance, Qian Shanyong, his face contorted with rage, held the Wrath of the Gods and was locked in fierce combat with Huo Chi.

Judging from the situation, Huo Chi was slightly stronger. Even with the aid of a divine artifact, Qian Shanyong could only barely hold him back. Dai Nanfeng, standing to the side, occasionally intervened, using immortal techniques to relieve the pressure on Qian Shanyong.

Looking at Fengyuan Star again, because Qian Shanyong's rescue was a step too late, the Holy City's defensive immortal array was broken, and many cultivators perished in the heavenly fire. The Holy City was Qian Shanyong's territory, and these cultivators were all trained by him, so he was extremely angry.

Dai Nanfeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Luo Cheng and Li Qiang appear.

At this moment, it was not the time for pleasantries. Li Qiang glanced at the battlefield, moved swiftly, and rushed towards Huo Chi. Without showing any signs of using immortal techniques or supernatural powers, he directly confronted him head-on.

Seeing this, Luo Cheng was speechless. He had thought that his junior brother would change after Li Qiang learned the fighting techniques, but he didn't expect him to still be so reckless in a fight.

In fact, Li Qiang liked this style of fighting; the feeling of each punch landing was very satisfying for him.

At this moment, Li Qiang had already reached the seventh level of the Heavenly Realm and had also received the blessing of the Primal Realm's Origin Power. His collision greatly surprised Huo Chi.

"Where did this monster come from?" Huo Chi also liked to fight head-on, but he didn't expect that someone was even more ferocious than him.

"Awesome!" Li Qiang felt exhilarated after clashing with Huo Chi. With his strength greatly increased and his origin power enhanced, he was now capable of fighting the Azure Emperor.

"Again!" Li Qiang stepped forward and rammed into Huo Chi once more.

Fire Maniac is an expert in playing with fire. His mastery of celestial fire has reached a state of perfection, and the celestial fire around him can change at will.

"boom!"

The two clashed again, like two stars colliding, unleashing terrifying power.

"Li Qiang!" Qian Shanyong shouted urgently, "Stop fighting like this! Feng Yuanxing can't withstand it!"

Li Qiang suddenly woke up and shouted at Huo Chi, "Hey you, the one covered in flames, do you dare to go to outer space and fight?"

"What is there to be afraid of!"

The two immediately rushed out of Fengyuan Star. Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely behind. Luo Cheng also followed, saying to Li Qiang, "Junior brother, I'll stretch my muscles too."

"OK!"

Luo Cheng used his primordial power to protect himself and, imitating Li Qiang, charged straight at Huo Chi.

"Another monster!" Huo Chi was speechless.

"Boom!"

Luo Cheng and Huo Chi clashed repeatedly, unleashing bursts of immortal light in the void, with energy surging wildly. Dai Nanfeng and Qian Shanyong were once again shocked—they had only managed to restrain Huo Chi even when they joined forces, while Luo Cheng and Li Qiang were able to clash so fiercely.

This is the terrifying power of primordial energy! With the power of the entire universe supporting it, what is there to fear? No matter how strong Huo Chi is, how can he contend with the power of an entire world?

Luo Cheng clashed with Huo Chi several times, feeling thoroughly exhilarated. Previously, because his cultivation level was slightly lower, he had relied on techniques when fighting others, but now, the feeling of each punch landing felt incredibly satisfying.

He thought to himself, "No wonder Li Qiang likes to confront things head-on; he's certainly straightforward!"

"Again!"

"Senior brother, let me try!"

In an instant, Huo Chi was like a fiery red ball, being slammed around by Li Qiang and Luo Cheng, his blood surging.

"puff!"

After being hit more than ten times in a row, Huo Chi was severely injured and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!" Although Huo Chi was reckless, he wasn't stupid and immediately shouted to stop.

Luo Cheng stood in the void and said coldly, "Huo Chi, you destroyed Fengyuan Star and killed cultivators. You must pay with your life."

Qian Shanyong was slightly surprised. Although he cared about cultivators, he did not regard them as equals. When Huo Chi came to cause trouble, he felt more that he had lost face.

In fact, not only Qian Shanyong, but also Li Qiang and Dai Nanfengyu never intended to take Huo Chi's life. In their subconscious, the life of Huo Chi, this ancient immortal, was far more precious than that of a cultivator.

Another key point is that ancient immortals are almost immortal, and even more difficult to kill than demon lords like Chi Ming.

"Hahaha!" Huo Chi laughed loudly, "Who do you think you are? You think you're worthy to kill me? Do you even have the ability?"

"Junior brother, may I borrow the Battle Soul Blade?" Killing Huo Chi is indeed a bit troublesome. Luo Cheng's strength is still a bit lacking, so he needs to borrow the power of the Battle Soul Blade.

Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng were shocked upon hearing this, but they did not speak up to stop him. Huo Chi's destruction of Fengyuan Star and killing of cultivators was tantamount to slapping Qian Shanyong in the face.

Luo Cheng took the Battle Soul Blade and said to Huo Chi, "Today I will use the Battle Soul Blade to kill you."

"Do you know that ancient immortals are unkillable?" Theoretically, this is indeed the case. Even if the Primordial Master or the Azure Emperor were to take action, they could only severely injure the ancient immortals, and it would be difficult to completely annihilate them.

Just like Chi Ming back then, Gu Xing never had any intention of killing him, simply because his cultivation level was too high, making him almost impossible to kill.

"Run!" With the Battle Soul Blade drawn, Huo Chi's fighting spirit vanished. Luo Cheng had already severely injured him without even using his blade, and now he had only one thought: to escape.

"Trying to escape?" Luo Cheng wouldn't let him have his way. He used the power of his origin to flash and block Huo Chi's path.

"Absolute!" Luo Cheng made his move, unleashing the forbidden technique of the Battle Soul Blade—one of the four divine incantations of "Life, Absolute, Fear, Destruction" contained within the Battle Soul Blade.

The word "absolute" sealed off all four directions, extinguishing all life.

"What is this?" Huo Chi felt the surrounding space freeze, and all life was cut off. This was the second time Luo Cheng had used the forbidden technique of the Battle Soul Blade. Last time, without the support of the source, he was able to repel several ancient immortals. This time, with the support of the source power, its power was a hundred times stronger.

With a single slash, the void was sealed off, and all life was extinguished.

"No!"

"Don't kill me!" Fire Maniac was truly terrified. In his millions of years of life, he had never been so close to death.

However, that power was too terrifying! Huo Chi summoned his divine artifact to defend himself, but the artifact was blasted away, and the terrifying power struck him directly, shattering his immortal body inch by inch.

In a short while, the Fire Demon Immortal's body was completely destroyed, leaving only an Immortal Infant.

Luo Cheng sheathed his sword and said to Qian Shanyong, "Old Qian, I have destroyed his immortal body. The rest is up to you."

The War Soul Blade shattered Huo Chi's immortal body and origin. With Qian Shanyong's cultivation level and the assistance of the Wrath of the Gods, it was enough to completely obliterate him.

"Alright!" Qian Shanyong formed hand seals and used a sealing magic to trap Huo Chi. "Huo Chi, you killed my Holy City cultivators, pay with your lives!"

"You mere ant, do you think you can pay with my life? I refuse!"

"Qian Shanyong, you really dare to kill me!"

Qian Shanyong had reservations, as Huo Chi represented the lineage of the Bona Ancient Immortals. In ancient times, the number of Bona Ancient Immortals far exceeded that of the immortals in the Immortal Realm. Only after the opening of the Ancient God's Treasury did a large number of Bona Ancient Immortals perish, thus achieving a balance with the Immortal Realm.

Qian Shanyong transmitted his voice and asked, "Master Luo Cheng, do you really intend to kill him?"

"I am the original owner."

These four simple words are enough to suppress all the heavens and myriad realms.

The Lord of the Primordial Realm holds a position comparable to that of an Immortal Emperor. Even though there are no immortals in the Primordial Realm yet, Luo Cheng, who controls the power of origin, is enough to suppress all realms and stand on equal footing with the Azure Emperor.

Li Qiang saw Qian Shanyong's concerns and said, "Huo Chi killed a cultivator and should pay with his life."

"Alright!" Qian Shanyong finally made up his mind. In the original story, Huo Chi also wreaked havoc on Fengyuan Star, destroying it, breaking through the immortal array, and killing cultivators, but ultimately became friends with Li Qiang, who was once his enemy. This shows that one's mentality undergoes a significant change after becoming a god.

Luo Cheng solemnly said, "Junior brother, never think too highly of yourself. We are cultivators of gods, but also ordinary beings in all the heavens and myriad realms."

"Boom!" Li Qiang's mind was shaken, and his understanding of cultivation deepened. He said solemnly, "Senior brother, I've remembered it."

Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng were both shaken, thinking to themselves, "No wonder his realm is so stable." Dai Nanfeng re-examined himself: "My mindset has indeed changed since I became an immortal."

Luo Cheng extended an invitation: "Old Qian, Fairy Dai Nan, come to the Origin Realm to help me and my junior brother."

After a moment's thought, the two nodded in agreement. Having spent this time together, they already knew Luo Cheng and Li Qiang's character. Besides, if Li Qiang hadn't intervened in the Ancient God's Treasury, they would have already perished.

Dai Nanfeng said, "Since I can't go back to the Immortal Realm anyway, I'll go to the Original Realm." She had been staying in the cultivation world because she had offended the Heavenly Lord of the Immortal Realm.

After dealing with the fire-obsessed matter, Luo Cheng's gaze fell upon the remaining celestial fire on Fengyuan Star. In the original story, it was precisely because of the celestial fire that Fengyuan Star gave birth to the Fire Spirit Beast, whose growth potential was immense and could become the King of Divine Beasts.

After a moment's thought, Luo Cheng used his great supernatural power to set up a celestial array, imprisoning the remaining heavenly fire in one place. He then said to Qian Shanyong, "Old Qian, this place can be used as a training ground, but those whose cultivation is insufficient should not enter."

"What a great place!" Qian Shanyong immediately saw the advantages of this place—it would be of great help to fire-attribute cultivators, and if someone was destined to obtain a spiritual treasure to assist them, they could collect heavenly fire.

It should be understood that ordinary cultivators who come into contact with even a trace of Heavenly Fire will be reduced to ashes. However, if someone like Li Qiang can collect a trace of Heavenly Fire, their strength will increase significantly, and they will also have an extra trump card to protect their life.

After everything was arranged, Luo Cheng asked Li Qiang, "Junior Brother, have we found a successor?"

"Found it."

Luo Cheng asked curiously, "Who's so lucky as to inherit my junior brother's skills?"

"It was a woman named Lu Wushuang."

"Lu Wushuang?" Luo Cheng recalled a familiar name.

Li Qiang was also a fan of martial arts novels, so he naturally knew about Lu Wushuang.

Li Qiang laughed and said, "She's not a character from a novel."

"Understood." Luo Cheng was somewhat surprised. In the original story, Li Qiang's successor was a man named Ji Wuyai, but now he had chosen a woman. However, this was Li Qiang's private matter, and he didn't ask any further questions.

Li Qiang said, "Her physique is a perfect match for the Foundation Establishment magic weapon I crafted."

Luo Cheng understood.

In the original story, Li Qiang lacked a proper understanding of Divine Chess Power, and his Foundation Establishment Magic Treasure required Fu Shan's assistance to be successfully crafted. Now, Li Qiang not only skillfully utilizes Divine Chess Power but also controls the Origin of the Primordial Realm. By using the Origin and Divine Chess Power to craft his Foundation Establishment Magic Treasure, the quality is extremely high.

"It seems that after this disciple of mine establishes his foundation, his cultivation will proceed very smoothly."

"As expected, you can't hide it from your senior brother." Li Qiang laughed. "After I helped her establish her foundation, she could directly reach the Nascent Soul stage. However, I sealed some of her power, making her start her comprehension from the first realm."

"Hmm." After learning about Li Qiang's relocation, Luo Cheng changed the subject and said, "Junior brother, I'll take Chenchen around. Keep an eye on things in the Origin Realm."

Actually, Li Qiang also liked to travel around, but he still agreed, saying, "Don't worry, senior brother!"
