Projection of the Heavens: I prove my immortality through slaughter.

Those powerful auras arrived extremely quickly, like shooting stars streaking across the night sky, carrying distinct fluctuations of laws, and were there in an instant.

The first to arrive were not from the ground, but from the highest heavens!

"cracking--!"

A piercing cry, capable of splitting rocks and shattering eardrums, came from beyond the heavens! The majesty and penetrating power contained in the sound cleared away the remaining malevolent energy in the valley.

Lin Xuan slightly raised his divine sense and saw that the dark yellow chaotic sky above seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant claw, and a golden stream of light swooped down at a speed beyond the comprehension of thought! Its speed was so fast that it even left a long, distorted vacuum trajectory behind it!

The stream of light suddenly stopped a thousand feet above the valley, revealing its true form.

It was a colossal bird of extraordinary majesty! Its wingspan, when spread, blotted out the sky, likely exceeding a thousand feet! Its feathers were a pure, brilliant gold, shimmering with a metallic sheen, sparkling brilliantly in the chaotic light of the heavens, as if cast from pure gold. Its head was held high, its eyes sharp as lightning, surveying all things with an innate nobility and indifference. Its two sharp claws were curved like hooks, gleaming with a cold light, as if they could easily crush stars.

What is most striking is the natural aura of the laws of nature emanating from its body, capable of tearing everything apart and controlling extreme speed! The space around it is slightly distorted, and light is deflected at the edges of its wings.

A purebred Golden-Winged Roc!

Moreover, even in his early childhood, his strength fluctuations are already comparable to those of a human cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage! The innate divine power and extreme speed talent contained in his bloodline make him far surpass those of others of the same level!

This young roc had clearly sensed the previous power fluctuations in the area and was drawn here by the aura of the innate divine runes. Its gaze first swept over the broken stone tablet, a hint of doubt flashing in its sharp eyes, as if it had not found any obvious treasures. Then, its gaze was firmly locked on the most conspicuous "alien" divine thought in the valley—Lin Xuan.

In its simple mind, this wisp of divine thought was pure and powerful. Although its form was strange, it was undoubtedly an excellent tonic! In particular, the pure aura of power that it had just comprehended had an instinctive attraction for it, a descendant of gods and demons who relied on physical bodies and innate supernatural abilities.

"Hey!"

There was no further communication; hunting was its nature! The young roc let out a short, murderous cry, and its enormous golden wings flapped violently!

"boom!"

It wasn't a gale, but thousands upon thousands of incredibly condensed golden feather-shaped gales, powerful enough to cut through spiritual treasures, pouring down like a torrential rain, instantly enveloping the entire valley and completely covering the area where Lin Xuan was! Each gale contained the laws of extreme speed and sharpness, and wherever it passed, the space was etched with fine black lines, and the scorched earth below was plowed with bottomless ravines!

Before the attack even arrived, the terrifying cutting intent already caused Lin Xuan's divine sense to feel waves of stinging pain.

"What a beast!" Lin Xuan thought with a chill. This young roc was far stronger than any of the ferocious beasts he had encountered before, and its innate supernatural abilities were even more formidable!

He dared not be negligent. Although this wisp of divine thought had been tempered, it would inevitably be damaged if it were hit head-on by the gale containing the laws.

"force!"

At the core of Lin Xuan's divine sense, the phantom of the innate "Power" divine script that he had just comprehended suddenly lit up! Although he had only grasped it to a preliminary stage, it represented the origin of power!

He no longer dispersed his divine sense, but instead concentrated it to form a divine sense dharma body that was identical to his original body, though slightly illusory! On the dharma body, purple-gold power patterns flowed, and with a simple raised hand, he threw a punch to meet the golden gale that filled the sky!

This punch, devoid of any fancy moves, seemed to have stirred up the remaining laws of force throughout the entire valley! Wherever the fist struck, the space in front of it suddenly solidified and compressed, as if transforming into an invisible, extremely heavy barrier!

"Bang bang bang bang—!"

A dense barrage of impacts erupted! Countless golden gusts of wind crashed into this "barrier of power," unleashing blinding light and destructive shockwaves, yet they could not penetrate it, shattering into primal energy turbulence!

Overcome skill with brute force; one force can subdue ten techniques!

However, seeing its attack fail, the Golden-Winged Roc's eyes gleamed even more fiercely. Its wings flapped again, and its massive body vanished from its original spot in an instant, appearing directly above Lin Xuan's divine sense avatar the next moment! Its speed surpassed the limits of divine sense's ability to detect!

Innate supernatural ability—extreme speed travel!

A golden claw, seemingly capable of tearing apart stars, wrapped in Dao patterns that tore through the void, fiercely slashed down towards the head of Lin Xuan's divine avatar! This claw contained its pure physical strength and tearing laws, its power several times greater than the previous gale!

"Well done!"

Lin Xuan was not surprised but delighted. He wanted to test just how powerful this force had become after being tempered by the innate divine runes! His divine sense avatar neither dodged nor evaded, his right fist clenched tightly, the Great Dao of Power within his body roared, and the purple-gold Dao patterns condensed into a tangible halo on his fist, which he then fiercely blasted upwards!

Fists and claws clashed!

"Thump—!!!!"

A deafening roar, as deep as the sound of two metallic stars colliding, suddenly erupted! Invisible ripples of power spread out in a ring, instantly lowering the scorched earth in the center of the valley by another three feet! The enormous skeletons of gods and demons around them groaned under the weight of this shockwave, some of the smaller ones turning to dust!

A clash of pure power!

Lin Xuan's divine consciousness avatar suddenly sank downwards, the illusory image shaking violently and dimming somewhat. After all, it was merely a projection of divine consciousness, and in a direct clash of absolute power, it was at a disadvantage compared to the physical body of such a pure-blooded descendant of gods and demons.

The Golden-Winged Roc was also suffering. It felt as if its claws had gripped an ancient and immortal divine mountain. The force of the impact caused its leg bones to crack slightly, and the intense pain made it let out a cry of surprise and anger.

It couldn't understand why this illusory "thing" could unleash such terrifying power.

Frustrated by its initial attack, the young roc's ferocity was fully unleashed! Golden divine light surged around it, its bloodline power boiling. It opened its massive beak, and deep within its throat, specks of destructive golden light began to gather, brewing a terrifying energy that would change the very fabric of the world! It was about to unleash its innate divine power!

Lin Xuan's eyes turned cold; he knew he couldn't give it another chance. This Golden-Winged Roc was incredibly fast; if it were allowed to create distance and continue unleashing its supernatural powers, his divine sense might truly perish here.

"Annihilation!"

With a thought, the left hand of the divine body was joined together like a sword, and a hazy, gray sword aura, seemingly capable of ending everything and reducing all things to nothingness, was silently shot out! This sword aura did not attack the young peng's body, but followed the trajectory of his boiling blood and gathering energy, piercing straight into his heart and the core of his soul!

At the same time, his right fist slammed out again. This time, the fist not only contained immense power, but also carried a hint of "imprisonment" and "suppression", interfering with the surrounding space and restricting his rapid evasion!

Attack where they must defend, forcing them into a direct confrontation!

Young Peng sensed the deadly threat of the Annihilation Sword Qi and had to interrupt the condensation of his innate divine power. In haste, he once again swung his claws to meet Lin Xuan's fist, while his feathers exploded around him, forming a thick golden light shield to protect himself.

"boom!"

Another fierce clash! The energy storm swept through once again.

But this time, Lin Xuan's Annihilation Sword Qi arrived first despite being delayed. Like an invisible venomous snake, it pierced through the hastily formed golden light shield. Although most of it was worn away by his bloodline divine power, a trace of Annihilation Dao rhyme still invaded the young Peng's body!

"puff!"

Young Peng's body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning. It spat out a mouthful of pale golden blood, and its aura instantly weakened. The ferocity in its eyes was replaced by fear. It finally realized that this "abnormal being" was not only incredibly powerful, but also possessed unpredictable and bizarre methods!

It let out a mournful cry of unwillingness, its wings flapped rapidly, transforming into a golden light, as it prepared to escape this place at top speed.

"Want to leave? Leave something behind!"

Lin Xuan would not allow it to escape so easily. His divine sense avatar instantly dissipated, transforming back into a formless and intangible state. Its speed increased dramatically, catching up like a shadow. A divine sense impact, condensed to the extreme, slammed into the young roc's injured soul!

"Hey——!"

The young roc let out a painful cry, its flight path faltering and its speed decreasing sharply. In that instant, Lin Xuan's divine sense, like the most agile scalpel, precisely and forcefully peeled away and collected a fist-sized ball of golden divine flames, containing boundless vitality and the essence of power—the Great Roc's Precious Blood!

After succeeding, Lin Xuan did not linger in the fight. His divine sense instantly traveled thousands of miles away, concealing all traces of his presence.

The young roc, having suffered severe injuries and lost its precious blood, was both shocked and furious. Unable to find any trace of the enemy, it could only tear through the void and flee in a sorry state, filled with resentment and fear.

A thousand miles away, Lin Xuan's divine sense illusory image re-condensed. Looking at the ball of Golden-Winged Roc's precious blood in his hand, which was as hot as liquid sun and emitted terrifying energy fluctuations, a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

Although it is only in its juvenile form, the precious blood of this pure-blooded god and demon is of immeasurable value! Whether used to temper the physical body, refine pills, or comprehend the laws of speed and tearing contained within, it will be of immense benefit.

"The Ancient Wilderness Realm... truly offers endless opportunities." He murmured to himself, carefully sealing and storing the precious blood with his divine sense.

Their first encounter with gods and demons was a narrow victory, resulting in the blood of the demons.

This is just the beginning.
