The First Venerable of All Paths

"Fang Xuan, what...what are you going to do?"

Seeing Fang Xuan glance at her, Nangong Xingyu subconsciously took a step back, her face filled with fear.

He was genuinely afraid that Fang Xuan would punch him to death.

Given the strength Fang Xuan had revealed, Nangong Xingyu had no confidence that she could escape from him.

"I can guess what you're going to do."

Fang Xuan said indifferently, "So, I'm willing to give you this opportunity to see with your own eyes that all those backgrounds and backers you think you have are nothing in the face of absolute strength."

Having said that, Fang Xuan stepped forward with his foot.

Lotus flowers bloomed beneath his feet, and Fang Xuan stepped firmly onto one of them.

With another step, lotus blossoms bloom beneath his feet.

And so, Fang Xuan ascended the lotus, step by step climbing higher.

"!!!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed at Fang Xuan, whose aura was rising wildly, utterly astonished.

Lotus blossoms at every step?

Isn't this a manifestation of the Great Dao that only those with great supernatural powers can condense?

How did Fang Xuan do it?

"This isn't a manifestation of the Great Dao; it looks like... flames, it's a sword!"

He Zhongtian exclaimed in surprise, "Fang Xuan, you've obtained a second type of Heavenly Fire inside the cave?"

Because he saw it.

On the jade-green lotus, faint blue flames burned.

It was just that the flames were too transparent, so they weren't noticed immediately.

In addition, the sword intent emanating from Fang Xuan was terrifyingly strong.

Each fiery lotus is like a sword intent.

Fang Xuan ascended on lotus blossoms, as if riding a sword suspended in mid-air.

Nangong Xingyu was so frightened that she took several steps back, and finally stumbled and fell to the ground, looking at Fang Xuan in extreme terror.

Because Fang Xuan's aura was so ethereal at this moment that Fang Xuan couldn't be identified at all.

Has Fang Xuan already entered the realm of divine intent?

If that's the case, would he still be able to get his hands on the other party's natal flying sword?

Killing a sword cultivator at the Divine Intent Realm would be an easy task.

But Fang Xuan didn't even glance at him.

His gaze was fixed on the two battlefields.

Behind Xiao Jinyu, the stars and moon filled the sky.

Pang Long seemed to be struggling to hold on, but Xiao Jinyu was also nearing her limit.

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor is in an even more dangerous situation.

The three crouching beast banners, like three enormous curtains, blot out the sky and the sun.

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's enormous body struggled desperately in the sea of ​​cloth, but seemed powerless to do anything about it.

The situation seems quite serious.

"However, it's time to end this."

Fang Xuan murmured softly, then stopped suppressing the power within his body.

"Boom!"

When the power within Fang Xuan was fully unleashed, it was like a mountain crashing down on a calm sea, creating towering waves.

Rolling thunderclouds gathered, and lightning bolts as thick as an arm darted through the air.

In an instant, the entire sky transformed into a sea of ​​lightning.

The people who were fighting were all horrified and stopped fighting immediately.

They looked up in horror, their pupils shrinking to the size of pinholes.

His face betrayed an unconcealable fear.

"Heavens...Heavenly Tribulation?"

Liu Ming asked in a trembling voice, "How could a heavenly tribulation have descended upon this place?"

Of everyone present, he had the highest cultivation level.

Therefore, they are most sensitive to this heavenly tribulation.

This level of tribulation has exceeded the limits of even a powerful being at the Divine Intent Realm.

It's not even something that human beings can handle.

"Who brought about this heavenly calamity?"

An old man retreated rapidly, his expression filled with fear as he looked at the ever-increasing lightning in the sky. He roared, "Is this terrifying heavenly tribulation going to kill us all?"

Suddenly, a figure exuding a mysterious aura appeared beneath the thunderclouds.

He stood on a giant blue lotus, his sword intent soaring to the heavens.

Liu Ming shuddered, his face immediately darkening.

"Fang Xuan, how could it be him!"

Even if a mere Qi Gathering Realm ant is a sword cultivator, or even if he obtains a great fortune within his cave, so be it.

But how could he trigger such a heavenly tribulation?

"Surprised, aren't you?"

Taking in everyone's gazes, Fang Xuan murmured to himself, "To be honest, I'm quite surprised myself."

He raised his arms high, his five fingers spread wide, as if supporting the sky.

"Today, I will let you witness with your own eyes how I overcome this tribulation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Xuan clenched his fist.

The heavenly lightning, which had been gathering its power for so long, could no longer hold back and surged towards Fang Xuan like a celestial river overflowing its banks.

Nangong Xingyu was taken aback at first, then burst into wild laughter: "Hahaha, Fang Xuan, so what if you have extraordinary abilities? Faced with such a heavenly tribulation, there is only one word: death!"

Liu Ming smiled and felt much more relaxed.

Fortunately, these heavenly tribulations were directed at Fang Xuan.

As someone undergoing tribulation, Fang Xuan was undoubtedly the target of the heavenly tribulation.

Even he couldn't avoid such a powerful heavenly tribulation.

No matter how strong Fang Xuan is, how can he possibly weather this storm?

Some were secretly pleased, some were nervous, and some were full of worry.

The entire He family looked at Fang Xuan with tense expressions.

He Yaoyao even clasped her hands together, muttering incantations, silently praying for Fang Xuan.

Xiao Jinyu's delicate body tensed, her red lips pressed tightly together.

Even before they entered the secret realm, Xiao Jinyu had sensed that Fang Xuan was suppressing something.

But she didn't expect that Fang Xuan was suppressing something.

It was a heavenly tribulation!

He's only at the Qi Condensation Realm, so why does he have to undergo a Heavenly Tribulation?

Could it be that the path he took was different from everyone else's?

"Come!"

Fang Xuan had no time to care about what others were thinking; he spoke softly.

The Thunderfire Spear shot into the sky, heading straight for the falling sea of ​​lightning.

Thunder-Forged Battle Spear!

"Snap!"

Under such a domineering and terrifying heavenly tribulation, even though the Thunderfire Spear had been personally forged by Fang Xuan, it still could not withstand such power.

Cracks began to appear on the surface of the gun.

Fang Xuan remained calm.

He pointed his fingers repeatedly, injecting two kinds of flames into the gun body, refining the combat gun.

soon.

Impurities inside the gun are continuously expelled.

Conversely, intense lightning power surged into the gun, filling the cracks.

"Buzz!"

Before long, the entire spear turned dark black.

Like dried blood, it exuded an overwhelming killing intent.

"God-Slayer Gun!"

Looking at the transformed spear, Fang Xuan's eyes gleamed.

This is the information obtained after the "God of Slaughter Battle Body" evolved into the "Killing Scripture".

Using the Killing Manual, they forged a weapon called the God-Slaying Spear.

The true God-Slaying Spear was the weapon of the Goddess of Slaughter, and was revered as an imperial weapon.

The God-Slaying Spear before us is merely a derivative of the Thunderfire War Spear, and is naturally inferior to the true God-Slaying Spear.

The real God-Slaying Spear was destroyed long ago when the Goddess of Slaughter was fighting a powerful enemy, and its fragments were scattered in all directions.

But Fang Xuan believed that one day, this gun would eventually transform into a true killing machine.

Even stronger!

"Go back!"

With a wave of his hand, Fang Xuan summoned the God-Slaying Spear back into his grasp.

As he stroked the gun's body, where the mysterious patterns formed by feathers and lotus flowers were visible, a look of joy appeared on Fang Xuan's lips.

This gun is more than ten times more powerful than before.

It's already second only to his natal flying sword.

He casually tossed out a spear, which pierced straight through a mountain peak below.

The mountain collapsed, turning into a pile of rubble.

Everyone was startled by what they saw.

That's scary.

How terrifying.

However, even though Fang Xuan absorbed some of the heavenly tribulation lightning with the God-Slaying Spear, the remaining heavenly tribulation power was still like a vast ocean.

These forces are enough to completely destroy an entire city.

No one believed that Fang Xuan could survive this tribulation safely.

"Fang Xuan, don't you dare to court death."

Xiao Jinyu clenched her jade-like hands, ready to strike at any moment.

Liu Ming and the others were looking forward to the scene of Fang Xuan being blasted into dust by the heavenly tribulation.

"Boom!"

Thunderclouds rolled and surged in from all directions.

The next moment, lightning surged back, like a sea of ​​thunder, crashing down on Fang Xuan.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xuan was engulfed by the sea of ​​lightning.

"Finally, he's dead."

Nangong Xingyu said with a ferocious expression, "Even the heavens can't stand it anymore, so if you don't die, who will?"

Xiao Jinyu's body trembled, and her pretty face turned deathly pale.

died?

He died just like that?

He Yaoyao opened her eyes and looked at the figure that could no longer be seen in the rolling sea of ​​lightning, tears streaming down her face.

Brother Fang, did you fail again?

"Why."

He Zhongtian sighed deeply, his tone tinged with regret: "Such a heavenly tribulation, let alone him, would have been destined to fail for anyone."

"No, look!"

He Yun, who had already opened his eyes, suddenly sensed something and said, "The heavenly tribulation hasn't ended yet!"

At this point, everyone realized that the thunderclouds, which should have dissipated, not only did not disappear, but instead increased in number and became heavier.

Moreover, a glimmer of blue light appeared from the thick thunderclouds.

A lotus-like blue light, with rising flames, enveloped a figure.

Another layer of golden-red flames appeared, transforming into a wondrous and extraordinary bird.

That was a fiery phoenix with a body entirely golden and red!

"Hey!"

The fire phoenix spread its wings and soared into the thunderclouds.

Fang Xuan, the protagonist of the tribulation, sat cross-legged inside the azure fire lotus.

His naked body was covered with twelve golden patterns, like twelve cracks, which were frantically absorbing the thunder that filled the sky.

Chaotic Holy Body, activated!

"Boom!"

Fang Xuan's body was like a bottomless abyss, greedily absorbing the thunderclouds, seemingly never reaching its limit.

Fang Xuan's physical body also underwent further tempering.

The golden lines, while not more numerous, have become wider.

If it was only the thickness of a hair before, it is now the size of a little finger.

It was as if twelve golden dragons were coiled around Fang Xuan.

After absorbing the last bit of lightning power into his body, a powerful force surged forth from Fang Xuan's body.

"boom!"

As soon as Fang Xuan stood up, thunderous roars echoed through the void.

He slowly moved his body, feeling as if his whole body was filled with explosive power.

A single punch seemed capable of shattering a mountain.

He glanced at Liu Ming and the others, who were already utterly astonished, and grinned.

"It seems my successful tribulation has disappointed some of you?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ming's expression changed, and he coldly snorted, "Boy, so what if you successfully survive the Heavenly Tribulation? If I want to kill you, it's still just a matter of time..."

"You've said that countless times!"

Fang Xuan interrupted Liu Ming directly, and then took a step forward, appearing in front of Liu Ming.

Without any fancy moves, Fang Xuan threw a punch directly.

This punch, with its domineering and chilling killing intent, erupted and enveloped Liu Ming.

"You little bastard, you're asking for it!"

Liu Ming's eyes darkened, and he also threw a punch.

As a sixth-level Divine Intent Realm expert, Liu Ming was fully confident that he could kill Fang Xuan with a single punch.

However, to Liu Ming's horror...

A vast, surging sea of ​​lightning suddenly erupted from Fang Xuan's fist, sweeping towards Liu Ming in an overwhelming manner.

"not good!"

Liu Ming's expression changed drastically, and he quickly withdrew and retreated.

But it was too late.

A violent surge of lightning engulfed Liu Ming.

A muffled groan and scream rang out as Liu Ming, covered in blood, staggered out of the sea of ​​lightning, looking at Fang Xuan with eyes as if he had seen a ghost.

"Extreme Realm, this is the ultimate realm of martial arts!"
