Chat group, starting from the Infinite Terror God Space

With a laugh, he stepped on the surging waves and slowly appeared.

His usual lazy and carefree figure now stands calmly on the crest of the wave, his casual and nonchalant demeanor completely gone.

The weighty power of four thousand years slowly spreads out in all directions, and layers of interwoven light and shadow, spanning countless ages, appear between heaven and earth.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait for now."

His voice was calm and deep, yet it carried an unyielding sense of obstruction.

"Fellow Daoist, your abilities are extraordinary. Today, you have rid the world of a great scourge, and all the people of the martial world should be indebted to you. I have lived for over four thousand years; may I ask if you could tell me my origins?"

"All beings are merely passing through this world, using it as a means to comprehend the Dao." Wang Qi spoke calmly, without elaborating on the secrets of his true self and others.

"They're actually from outer space!" Xiao Sanxiao quickly cupped his hands in greeting, his tone now filled with respect.

"What brings you here?" Wang Qi asked.

"I had no intention of getting involved in the conflicts of the martial world, but when you killed Di Shitian just now, you forcibly stripped him of his phoenix essence blood."

"You are an outsider, inherently at odds with the origins of this world. Absorbing the essence of this world's divine beasts would cause a violent clash between the two, potentially disrupting the rules of heaven and earth. You must not refine this item; please return it to me."

The surging waves beneath Wang Qi's feet automatically parted to the sides. He turned to look at the old man in front of him, his eyes still calm and undisturbed.

"The essence of the phoenix was originally a supreme spiritual root born from heaven and earth, but it was stolen by Emperor Shitian for a thousand years. He survived and extended his life by slaughtering living beings and stirring up the world to fight."

"I refined this blood only to cleanse it of a thousand years of malevolent energy and to solidify my own Dao foundation with the phoenix's boundless vitality. How could this be considered disrupting the rules of heaven and earth?"

Xiao Sanxiao slammed his pipe heavily onto the sea, his palm shadow, formed from countless streams of light, swirling around him with overwhelming power.

"I have been in charge of observing the heavens for over four thousand years, and today I absolutely cannot let you take this step."

Before he finished speaking, his powerful internal energy instantly sealed off the entire sea area.

He unleashed his ultimate technique, the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns, with all his might. Countless layers of illusions intertwined and swept over Wang Qi, attempting to trap his soul with the illusion of time.

The Heavenly Wound longsword was suddenly drawn from its sheath.

The blade extended through the dark void rift, its chilling, murderous intent pressing down across the entire sea surface.

Wang Qi's Xuanwu True Skill was operating at full power, and the profound and steady Daoist aura took root in his body, steadily counteracting the illusory erosion of the Thousand Autumns Dream that was pulling at his soul.

"After four thousand years of observing chess and seeking enlightenment, we are ultimately trapped within the constraints set by heaven and earth."

Your path only seeks to maintain the status quo and preserve stability; it cannot stop me.

Xiao Sanxiao's expression suddenly darkened, and he no longer held back any of his strength.

Countless palm prints, each carrying the martial arts essence of different eras, came crashing down from all directions. Each palm shadow could wear down the physical body and erode the soul, layer upon layer of pressure relentlessly.

Wang Qi's sword technique created a series of illusory images that intertwined and spun, forming an impenetrable net of offense and defense in front of him, forcefully withstanding the countless palm prints of time.

The terrifying shockwaves generated by the clash of moves soared into the sky, and the vast lake water rose into the air, churning endlessly.

Xiao Sanxiao was suddenly filled with shock, never expecting his opponent to be so powerful.

Wang Qi's eyes swirled with black and white, yin and yang energies, as he unleashed the full power of the Maha Boundless.

The interplay of soft and hard primordial energy swept across the entire lake, coalescing into a gigantic vortex of wind and clouds.

He charged forward rapidly, riding the waves, his Heavenly Wound Blade slashing across the sky.

The void black hole born from the love that captivated the city has reappeared, its immense and unparalleled devouring power tearing apart all the surrounding illusions of time.

The eternal mirror image created by the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns was successively swallowed and dissolved by the black hole.

Xiao Sanxiao's aura fluctuated violently, and the profound cultivation he had accumulated over four thousand years of arduous training was rapidly depleted, causing him to be even more horrified.

A low growl and a self-deprecating laugh burst forth from his throat.

He didn't hesitate to burn four thousand years of his lifespan, forcibly unleashing his strongest attack of his life.

The entire space violently twisted and trembled, and several heavy, illusory black tortoise figures piled up one after another, carrying the torrent of countless ages, and pressed down on Wang Qi together.

Wang Qi's mind was clear, and his various moves were now perfectly integrated.

The Xuanwu True Skill solidifies the foundation of the physical body, the Maha Boundless Technique mobilizes the Yin and Yang forces of heaven and earth, and the Love of a Fallen City cleaves through the illusion and void.

The blade, entwined with black and white clouds and dazzling martial arts light, condensed into an unparalleled peak strike, directly cleaving towards the overwhelming torrent of time.

Boom—!

The void black hole collided violently with the phantom of countless years.

The surging lake water suddenly stopped flowing, and a huge spatial rift stretching for thousands of miles was torn open in the sky.

The deadly attack that Xiao Sanxiao had launched by burning his lifespan instantly collapsed and disintegrated.

He flew backwards for hundreds of feet like a kite with a broken string, his pipe slipped from his hand and rolled onto the rocks, and a mouthful of blood, rich with vital essence, gushed out.

He staggered and landed on the ground.

His once powerful and profound strength of time had largely decayed, leaving him without any confidence to step forward and stand in his way; his expression was dejected and forlorn.

"I... have lost."

Xiao Sanxiao stood silently for a long time, then bent down to pick up the tobacco pouch that had rolled to the side, his tone full of helplessness and resignation.

The lake returned to calm.

"Your strength is so great that I am powerless to stop you."

Wang Qi then asked, "Xiao Sanxiao, having observed four thousand years of history, do you know if there are other ancient secret realms beyond the Nine Void Boundaries in this world? Or perhaps traces of the Dao left by sages like Fuxi and Nuwa?"

When the ancient sages were mentioned, Xiao Sanxiao's expression turned serious. He took a deep drag on his cigarette, and amidst the swirling smoke, his gaze drifted to the horizon.

"The ancient sages like Fuxi and Nuwa were indeed not native to this world. They were all projections from various heavens, who departed after completing their mission of mending the heavens and establishing humanity. Their traces of the Dao are scattered throughout the earth, such as Lingyun Cave, Demon Heart Lake, and the ancient imperial tombs. As for secret realms, besides the Nine Void Boundless Realms, there are some others..."

……

Just as the two were talking, two figures came from afar, walking on water. One was dressed in white and looked handsome, while the other was dressed in blue and exuded a cold aura. They were Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.

I only hope that everything you say is true, and that you will not use the power of the phoenix to stir up chaos in the world.

Upon seeing the two, Xiao Sanxiao finished speaking and his body transformed into a wisp of smoke, drifting leisurely towards a secluded mountain forest in the distance to find a secret place to recuperate his severely damaged body.

The two had just sensed the earth-shattering collision above West Lake and were filled with worry. They rushed over and saw Wang Qi in the clouds and Di Shitian, who was old and dead in the snow. Both of them were shocked.

Nie Feng cupped his hands in greeting: "Brother Wang Qi, the world just now underwent a tremendous change. I never expected that it was you who fought against Di Shitian. This overlord of the Heavenly Gate for a thousand years was actually defeated by you."

Holding the peerless sword, Bu Jingyun's gaze fell on the Heavenly Wound in Wang Qi's hand, and he sensed the Xuanwu Dao aura that was perfectly integrated within Wang Qi's body. He said in a deep voice, "Your cultivation level has probably already far surpassed Nie Feng's and mine."

During the years that Wang Qi had been cultivating, Nie Feng had visited him several times to discuss his experiences in martial arts. On one occasion, Nie Feng brought Bu Jingyun with him, and the two of them met once. Wang Qi looked at the two of them, and his heart stirred slightly.

He had already fully mastered the original version of Maha Boundless, which was perfect for him to demonstrate the ultimate mystery of the combination of wind and clouds with the two of them.

"The threat from Indra has been eliminated, and there will be no major chaos in the martial world for the time being. I plan to find another place to cultivate. If you have free time, you can come with me, so that we can verify the true ultimate power of Maha Boundless."

Nie Feng's eyes lit up, and Bu Jingyun also nodded slightly.

……

In a secluded room, Wang Qi sat cross-legged in the center of an ice platform.

Before him, layers of crimson light surrounded the primordial phoenix blood, within which swirled the violent and malevolent energy accumulated by Emperor Shitian through a thousand years of plundering and slaughter.

The Xuanwu True Skill circulates throughout the body, protecting the physical body and the foundation of the soul.

The boundless Yin and Yang energy derived from the Maha Wuliang enveloped the Phoenix Blood Origin in layers, while the power of time and space slowly cleansed away the myriad sins and resentment that entangled within.

The pure phoenix blood essence, stripped of its malevolent energy, slowly seeped into the limbs and bones.

A constant stream of vitality washes over the flesh and meridians, continuously expanding and nourishing the already unbreakable foundation of martial arts.

The physical body, the spirit, and the foundation of martial arts all undergo a transformative and sublime metamorphosis simultaneously.

The cultivation of the various techniques within his body became increasingly harmonious and seamless, and the barriers that had previously conflicted and separated them completely dissolved.

I don't know how much time passed.

All the crimson light on the ice platform merged into Wang Qi's body.

He slowly opened his eyes, surrounded by a layer of warm and dazzling phoenix glow.

His lifespan was vast and almost infinite; his physical body stepped into the realm of near immortality; and his martial arts cultivation broke through the shackles, reaching an unprecedented new peak.

The ice that had been frozen inside the hall for thousands of years melted away completely under the warm currents of the phoenix.

Wang Qi slowly rose to his feet, a faint crimson phoenix glow swirling around the Heavenly Wound Blade in his hand.

His cultivation level is now several times stronger than before.

"The Phoenix Blood has been refined."

Wang Qi gripped the Heavenly Wound Blade in his hand, his gaze sweeping across the Central Plains. A storm that would engulf the entire martial arts world was only just beginning.
