The First Venerable of All Paths

"Buzz!"

As soon as the Desolate Heavenly Eye was activated, a gray beam of light burst forth from the vertical pupil and shot through the air.

Its speed is so fast that it surpasses that of thunder and lightning.

In everyone's eyes, from the moment Fang Xuan activated the Desolate Calamity Heavenly Eye to the moment he collided with the Dao Pattern Thunder Battle Spear, the entire process happened in the blink of an eye.

"Boom!"

A tremendous roar reverberated through the air.

An aura filled with heavenly tribulation, divine souls, and indescribable energy swept across all directions, enveloping the surrounding wilderness.

Then, the Dao-patterned Thunder War Spear, like fragile porcelain, shattered inch by inch and vanished in an instant.

"hiss!"

For a moment, gasps of shock rose and fell.

Zhao Qingcang looked as if he had seen a ghost, his face filled with disbelief.

Although his attack was not as powerful as the Five Thunder Transformation Technique, which condensed the true spirit of the Thunder Lord, it was not much weaker.

It's one thing that Fang Xuan withstood that attack before.

He can be used as Fang Xuan's defensive unparalleled, making him immune to some of Fang Xuan's attacks.

But Zhao Qingcang never expected that Fang Xuan's attack could be so powerful, easily breaking through his attack.

What terrified Zhao Qingcang even more was that the gray beam of light, after shattering the Dao Pattern Thunder War Spear, did not lose any power and continued to bombard him with unstoppable force.

"not good!"

Zhao Qingcang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly mobilized his spiritual power to form a spiritual shield in front of him.

"Click!"

However, the moment the spirit shield was formed, it was shattered by the gray beam of light.

The terrifying and immense power crashed directly into Zhao Qingcang, causing it to explode abruptly.

"Wow!"

Zhao Qingcang was struck as if by lightning, his body flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and cracking sounds coming from his body.

"Whoosh!"

Before Zhao Qingcang could land, Fang Xuan took a step forward, his figure shooting into the sky and instantly appearing in front of Zhao Qingcang, raising his hand to smash.

"Bang bang bang!"

The fists rained down, relentlessly striking Zhao Qingcang.

Even though he kept mobilizing his spiritual power, he couldn't stop Fang Xuan's punches at all.

Moreover, even though the innate Dao patterns protected his vital points, the domineering Qi contained in Fang Xuan's fist made Zhao Qingcang suffer greatly.

Each punch felt like it weighed a thousand pounds, causing Zhao Qingcang's body to tremble violently and spit out blood continuously.

"You stole my Dao body, severed my martial veins, and ruined my future, Zhao Qingcang, today I will repay you for everything you did in the past!"

Fang Xuan's face was contorted with rage as he unleashed twenty-eight chaotic golden runes, pounding Zhao Qingcang with each punch.

"HarmonyOS-style!"

"Hammer swing!"

"The Broken River Style!"

Fang Xuan's punches grew faster and stronger with each blow, leaving Zhao Qingcang helpless like a sandbag, as he was relentlessly pounded down from the sky.

"King's Fist Shakes the World!"

"Slaying with overwhelming force, shattering mountains!"

"Thump!"

Zhao Qingcang was punched to the ground, his chest caved in, and he was on the verge of death, even having difficulty moving his fingers.

He was utterly defeated!

But Fang Xuan did not stop there.

"You, Zhao Qingcang, deserve to die for sending people to harm my people!"

Golden patterns flowed and gathered on Fang Xuan's fist, which then slammed into Zhao Qingcang's head in mid-air.

"The Dao-Fallen Fist is finished! Die!"

With this punch, he was going to kill Zhao Qingcang!

"Holy Child!"

"No!"

"presumptuous!"

This series of reversals, though described slowly, actually happened in the blink of an eye.

Once they realized what was happening, everyone in the Dao Asking Sect—disciples, elders, and powerful figures from the Zhao family of Zhongzhou—angrily rebuked them.

"That brat is arrogant!"

Zhao Kou's face darkened, and a powerful aura erupted from his body. His spiritual power transformed into a giant hand, grabbing towards Fang Xuan.

With this palm strike, he not only wanted to stop Fang Xuan, but also to kill him.

Fang Xuan felt a sense of crisis approaching when his fist was only three inches away from Zhao Qingcang's head.

He instinctively twisted his arm and threw a punch into the air.

"Thump!"

The fist energy exploded, and Fang Xuan was sent flying backward as if struck by a ferocious beast.

"Bang!"

He stomped his feet on the ground to steady himself, then let out a muffled groan as blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Is that old dog Zhao Kou finally going to make a move himself?"

Fang Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhao Kou, and his face was full of ferocious killing intent.

"I, Fang Xuan, hereby declare: anyone who dares to stop me from killing Zhao Qingcang, I will kill them!"

The young man's voice, filled with chilling murderous intent, resounded throughout the land, sending shivers down the spines of many.

"This guy is really courting death."

"That's Zhao Kou, an elder of the Dao Seeking Sect and the master of one peak."

"I admit he's very capable, but he's too arrogant."

"But in truth, it was the Dao Seeking Sect that was in the wrong, condoning its disciples' stripping of others' Dao bodies. Anyone would hate that."

Some people think Fang Xuan is overestimating himself, while others understand him and feel sorry for him.

"Ignorant brat, you have offended me! You deserve to die!"

Zhao Kou snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with killing intent, and pressed down on Fang Xuan with another palm.

As spiritual energy erupted, a colossal hand descended from the void.

The Great Transformation Heavenly Palm!

As a peak expert at the eighth level of the Divine Intent Realm, Zhao Kou's Great Transformation Palm was so powerful that it enveloped the entire Dao Asking Mountain.

Zhao Kou's move was unexpected by everyone.

Although the crowd remained silent, many looked at Zhao Kou with mockery and disdain.

For a dignified elder of the Dao Seeking Sect to resort to violence against a junior is truly shameless.

"Very well, very well, what a fine Dao Seeking Sect! What a fine old dog Zhao! They're all a bunch of despicable, shameless, and untrustworthy scoundrels!"

Fang Xuan burst into wild laughter, his arrogant fighting spirit soaring into the sky.

"You old dog, you want a fight? Then I'll fight you!"

The chaotic golden patterns flowed, and the Chaotic Saint Body of the third realm was fully released.

The powerful and domineering energy of his blood made it seem as if every cell and meridian in Fang Xuan's body was about to explode.

"You brat, I won't let you off today!"

Fang Xuan's angry curses made Zhao Kou's face even uglier, and he attacked even faster.

At the same time, Qi Xuanlin gently twirled his fingers, about to do something, but then relaxed as if sensing something.

"Awooo!"

Just as Fang Xuan was about to withstand Zhao Kou's attack, a deafening roar suddenly exploded in everyone's ears.

"A bunch of despicable villains! Do they really think I'm dead?"

The next moment, everyone saw that a blood-red bracelet on Fang Xuan's wrist burst out with dazzling blood-red light.

A monstrous demonic aura surged forth from it, instantly shattering Zhao Kou's Great Transformation Palm.

Immediately afterwards, above the Asking Mountain, a giant python, hundreds of feet long, stretched between heaven and earth.

The demonic aura was overwhelming, and the monsters were fierce and unrestrained.

"This, this..."

The person most shocked upon seeing the giant python was not Zhao Kou, nor the others, but... Elder Gu Ya of Beast Taming Mountain.

"He, he is..."

Gu Ya trembled all over, pointing at the blood-red giant python, unable to utter a single word.

Am I seeing things?

Hu Feng rubbed his eyes hard and said, "This monster looks familiar..."

"Elder Guya, do you think he's that guy?"

Gu Ya shivered and returned Hu Feng's warning look.

"No, don't talk nonsense, you've mistaken me for someone else!"

Hu Feng scratched his head, looking puzzled, and said, "But I just feel like I've seen this somewhere before."

"Crimson Blood Serpent!"

Tuoba Xiaozhang abruptly stood up, exclaiming excitedly, "It's actually the Crimson Blood Demon Python!"

The Crimson Blood Python is an ancient and ferocious beast.

At its peak, the Crimson Blood Python could fight against the Heavenly Roc, its strength was extremely terrifying.

Tuoba Xiaozhang never expected that he would see the bloodline remnants of the Crimson Blood Python.

If we bring this back to Beast Taming Mountain...

The moment this thought crossed his mind, Tuoba Xiaozhang could no longer contain himself.

"Elder Guya, find an opportunity to take down this big guy later."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ya staggered.

"Holy Son, don't you listen to what you're saying?"

Gu Ya said speechlessly, "That's the Crimson Blood Python, an ancient ferocious beast capable of fighting the Heavenly Roc. Do you think I can take it down?"

"That's true."

Tuoba Xiaozhang scratched his head and glared at him, saying, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Wouldn't it be enough to just rescue Fang Xuan?"

Hu Feng said, "As long as the other party owes us a huge favor, it shouldn't be too difficult to get some of the Crimson Blood Python's essence blood."

"Huh!"

Tuoba Xiaozhang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Good idea."

Gu Ya pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, I'm afraid we'll have to completely antagonize the Dao Seeking Sect."

"So what if we're at odds? Our relationship was never good to begin with anyway."

Tuoba arrogantly crossed his arms and sneered, "On the contrary, I'm overjoyed to see the Dao Seeking Sect suffer a setback."

"Then we'll see how things go in a bit."

Gu Ya cautioned, "But don't be reckless."

While everyone was shocked by the appearance of the Crimson Blood Python, Zhao Kou's expression also became more solemn than ever before.

"A demon emperor at the eighth level of cultivation, and a Crimson Blood Demon Python at that!"

Zhao Kou's expression was uncertain, as if things were slipping out of his control.

Although he was at the peak of the eighth level of the Divine Intent Realm, he wasn't very confident that he could defeat a Crimson Blood Demon Python of the same level.

"You old bastard, are you telling me something, as if I'm dead?"

Chi Lin stared intently at Zhao Kou with his lantern-like vertical pupils, his voice booming like a bell, making many people's eardrums ache.

"Trying to gang up on us? How shameless of you!"

"You dare call yourself a Daoist sect member? Bah! I despise you!"

Hearing the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's angry curses, many people's mouths twitched.

This demon king has quite a temper.

"You beast, how dare you!"

Liu Que angrily shouted, "This is the Dao Seeking Sect, not a place for you to run wild!"

"Who do you think you are, to dare speak to me, the Emperor!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor opened its mouth and spat out a beam of blood-red light that shot directly toward Liu Que.

The blood-red light flashed like lightning, carrying a power that terrified Liu Que.

"Elder Zhao, save me!"

Knowing he couldn't withstand the attack, Liu Que immediately cried out for help.

"presumptuous!"

Zhao Kou raised his hand and slapped it, shattering the bloody light.

But his body swayed slightly, and his expression became solemn.

The strength of this Crimson Blood Serpent was even greater than he had anticipated.

As for Liu Que, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling.

"waste!"

The Crimson Blood Python sneered, its overwhelming demonic aura enveloping the surroundings, its killing intent chilling and its ferocity awe-inspiring.

"Today, anyone who dares to interfere in this battle, I will kill them!"
