Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

"You know me, sir."

“I know the famous Shang general Peng Futian, but Protector Peng certainly doesn’t know me.” Wang Bing lowered his arm and landed lightly on the treetop, his body as steady as if on flat ground as he stepped on the leaves.

“I have always kept to myself and Protector Peng. In Qingque Prefecture, you and the Divine Sparrow Kingdom have been at odds for many years. As a third party, I have remained uninvolved. Today, you can observe and witness my grand plan.”

"What do you wish to do?"

“Look at the sky,” Wang Bing pointed to the heavens. “How many years do you think it has existed?”

Peng Futian said calmly, "Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless. When the world came into existence, heaven also came into existence."

“Yes, it lived a very long time, so… I also wish to live as long as the world on that day.” Wang Bing said with his hands behind his back, looking quite content.

His tone was nonchalant, but to Peng Futian, it was like a bolt from the blue, a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Want to do it that day?

What a wild and imaginative idea! But judging from Wang Bing's expression, he doesn't seem to be joking. Besides, someone at the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm doesn't need to make such a joke.

How could that person possibly become the heavens? Let alone the Dragon Elephant Realm, even the Heavenly Dao Realm could not become the heavens.

Faced with Wang Bing's smiling face, Peng Futian remained silent, unsure of what to say.

In short, there is no need to interfere. The Protectorate itself is already in a standoff with the Divine Sparrow Kingdom, and if it provokes a third-party force at the Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm, it will be difficult to deal with two forces at the same time.

"Then I will watch from here and see how Your Excellency will transform into the heavens."

……

Rumble!

As the stone spirit's upper body, including its waist, came under Wang's control and crawled out of the ground, the original ruins of the Evil Barbarian City were simultaneously raised hundreds of feet above the ground.

The buildings in the city were teetering on the brink of collapse, causing Ning Xiu to slide directly out of the hole in the high wall and fall onto the pile of stones outside.

The appearance of living beings immediately attracted the attention of the vines, which drooped down, intending to do the same to Ning Xiu and swallow him into their mouths.

However, Ning Xiu's injuries had mostly healed by now, and he was no longer in a state where he was unable to move. So, he was no longer afraid of these things.

With all four arms swinging out simultaneously, the powerful force transformed into air blades, instantly severing all the man-eating vines that surrounded them.

Above us, it was already pitch black, and we couldn't see the sky at all.

The moment Ning Xiu landed, the wandering corpse monsters and demons all noticed the presence of this living person, and then surrounded him with extreme bloodlust and greed.

Under the influence of the Yin God with the human head, the original evil city has long since turned into a ghost city.

Ning Xiu reached out and grabbed, and the Candle Dragon and Yin Willow, which had previously been lost somewhere, immediately sensed it, burst out of the ground, and landed in Ning Xiu's hand.

"Now that I have four arms, two guns are not enough for me," Ning Xiu thought to himself.

He didn't care at all about the wandering ghosts that approached from the surrounding area. He had already looked down on such ghosts when he was at the middle third rank.

"Ugh!" A monster covered in holes howled at Ning Xiu and immediately pounced, but before it could even touch Ning Xiu's body, it was already blasted away by the Heavenly Gang Inner Force, its body disintegrating and breaking into pieces during the process.

Ning Xiu slammed his twin spears into the ground, unleashing his Heavenly Gang internal energy in all directions, tearing the ground to shreds once more.

Ning Xiu's cultivation technique was originally extremely pure Yang, which was a natural counter to these evil spirits and demons. In an instant, a large number of evil spirits vanished into thin air.

Ning Xiu also gained some scattered proficiency points, but after just killing the Yin Slave and gaining a massive amount of proficiency points, Ning Xiu looked down on these few dozen or so proficiency points.

"Wang Bing has already broken through to the Upper Dragon Elephant Realm. The situation is beyond my ability to handle. Since I have been lucky enough to escape with my life, it is not advisable to stay here for long," Ning Xiu thought to himself, and then quickly retreated towards the outside of Evil Barbarian City.

But before they had even run a hundred miles, a sudden, raging wind swept across the land, blowing sand and stones everywhere. Even the distant mountains looked like they were about to collapse.

A powerful pressure enveloped the earth, making it difficult for Ning Xiu to move. His body felt incredibly heavy, and he was held down by the ground, unable to take a single step forward for quite some time.

"This aura... a powerful expert has arrived! And not just one!" Ning Xiu exclaimed in surprise.

For him, a first-rank cultivator could not create such a great sense of pressure, so the newcomer must be at least at the upper level of the Dragon Elephant Realm.

It's unbelievable that such a small, barbaric city could suddenly gather so many Dragon-Elephant Realm experts.

"More guests have arrived." Wang Bing looked into the distance and saw two figures, one purple and one blue, rushing towards them.

The one on the left was surrounded by purple thunderclouds, while the one on the right was completely enveloped in a blue tornado, making it impossible to see their appearance. Such beings, capable of stirring up the winds and clouds of heaven and earth, are not simple even in the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm.

At this moment, all the top experts in the entire Qingque Prefecture turned their gaze toward the direction of Xieman City.

Above that sky, there existed three star constellations of different shapes, three dragons and elephants facing each other, their sharpness fully revealed.

The life star is not something that hangs in the air and remains motionless; it will move with the person whose life is in question.

Wherever the person is, their destiny star will appear in the sky above their head.

Normally, the stars of Qingque Prefecture are each in their own place, facing each other from afar, and never come into contact.

But today, it is truly rare to see three Dragon-Elephant Realm experts gathered in one place.

This makes one wonder what exactly happened, and whether there will be a rare battle between dragons and elephants.

Above the giant tree, two giant purple and blue birds confronted Wang Bing. As newly promoted Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivators, they could not possibly master their new power perfectly in a short time. This unstable moment was the best opportunity to kill them.

"The Divine Sparrow Kingdom has actually sent someone in person. What, are you here to befriend me too?" Wang Bing remained calm.

Peng Futian, who appeared beside him, remained silent. He had dealt with these two powerful figures from the Divine Sparrow Kingdom who were at the upper level of the Dragon Elephant Realm in his early years, so he knew them.

One of them is skilled at controlling lightning, and the other possesses the power to control the wind. Both are born birds and animals, and after reaching the upper realm of the Dragon Elephant Realm, they are even more difficult to deal with.

Experts of this level either rarely show themselves, or when they do, they are sure to make a big move. It seems they have come for this newly promoted Dragon Elephant Upper Realm expert.

Today, it seems that a major battle that cannot be ignored is about to take place in Qingque Prefecture.

[142] The Great Change of the Yin God Devouring Life Star

The location of Evil Barbarian City is the most desolate and polluted place in Qingque Prefecture. Normally, apart from those demons who have nowhere else to turn, no one would want to come here, especially the demons of the Divine Sparrow Kingdom.

At this confluence of mountains, a gigantic tree had unexpectedly grown, leaving even the two Dragon-Elephant Realm experts from the Divine Sparrow Kingdom in awe.

This is enough to cover one-fifth of the territory of the Divine Sparrow Kingdom. Logically speaking, unless it is a rare species of tree, it is impossible for it to grow to such a size.

Moreover, even if it were a different species, it wouldn't be possible to reach this scale in less than millions of years.

How come they were unaware of this thing in the territory of Qingque Prefecture before?

Wang Bing's words were met with no response from the two Sparrow Kings of the Divine Sparrow Kingdom. Instead, they attacked directly, and in an instant, wind and thunder roared together, the lightning accompanied by a strong wind, transforming into a long spear that pierced towards Wang Bing.

The meaning is clear.

Rustling sounds!

The treetops beneath Wang Bing's feet trembled violently, their petals fluttering wildly in the wind.

What appears to be beautiful and magnificent is actually a trap. If Wang Bing is not careful, a Dragon-Elephant Realm expert may be lost forever today.

In terms of cultivation level, Wang Bing, who had just entered the Dragon Elephant Upper Realm, was naturally no match for the two Dragon Elephant Upper Realm cultivators from the Divine Sparrow Kingdom who had been cultivating in seclusion for many years.

It's difficult enough to deal with just one, let alone two at the same time.

However, at this moment, Wang Bing still had control over the Stone Venerable Body.

With the help of the Stone Venerable, he might be able to fight against multiple opponents and thwart the Divine Sparrow King's plan to kill him.

Wang Bing pointed out, and the air at his fingertip was compressed wildly, forming a transparent sphere only the size of a fist. Seeing the powerful attack of the Sparrow King of the Divine Sparrow Kingdom, he gently pressed it down.

The air ball went out to meet the attack, colliding heavily with the two mahjong players.

On the seemingly weaker side, Wang Bing suddenly turned the tables and launched an attack the moment they made contact. The air sphere exploded, shattering the wind and thunder.

The remaining energy waves spread in all directions, some penetrating downwards and blasting numerous holes into the once lush, umbrella-like top of the giant tree.

Some of them swept into the sky, scattering the clouds.

The aftershock struck Ning Xiu's location, but fortunately he dodged it in time and was not affected. However, a huge pit more than ten feet deep appeared where he had been standing.

This is just the aftermath; if it were a head-on collision, a crater might have been created.

Once you reach the Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm, your actions can influence the weather and even shake the heavens and earth. Some Dragon-Elephant Upper Realm cultivators can even cause a region to change from sunny to torrential rain, or have snow cover three thousand miles in summer, or have the scorching sun kill crops in winter.

Ning Xiu looked at the tree canopy that revealed the sky and perked up. Although he couldn't see the situation outside, it was clear that someone was fighting with Wang Bing, which was good news for Ning Xiu.

"Screech!" The Thunder Sparrow cried out, and the sky immediately became covered with dark clouds and thunder roared. The Wind Sparrow summoned wind and rain from the side, making the area dark and gloomy, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Such power, if it were in the hands of ordinary people, would make them think it was a divine intervention.

Despite the two Sparrow Lords' spellcasting, Wang Bing remained calm. He could control the Stone Venerable Body for an hour, and with the Stone Venerable Body as his backup, he could hold off the two Dragon Elephant Realm experts until his plan was truly accomplished.

Peng Futian witnessed the whole thing. The Great Shang Dynasty had suffered from the invasion of evil spirits and demons for many years and had long since grasped the core concept: I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will fight them directly.

In Peng Futian's view, Wang Bing, this new Dragon Elephant Realm expert, was merely a potential hidden danger that could affect the situation in Qingque Prefecture, not a threat that needed to be eliminated immediately. Therefore, his approach differed from that of the Divine Sparrow Kingdom.

The three Dragon-Elephant Realm experts then engaged in battle. The spiritual energy that had been drifting in the air did not dissipate and return to the world. Instead, it was all quietly absorbed by the branches and leaves of the giant tree beneath Wang Bing's feet.

With the help of spiritual power, the giant tree grew taller and taller. Standing on the treetop, it seemed that even the sky had become closer, and one could reach out and touch the sky.

Qingque Prefecture, Wanma Town.

The grooms who were tending their horses outside the town shook their hats, their faces covered in sweat. The weather in Qingque Prefecture was too hot these days, and it was too much of a hardship for people like them who often had to be outdoors.

As usual, the coachman looked up at the sky, intending to find a cloud cover to escape the scorching sun. But when he saw what was happening in the distance, he was completely stunned.

Unbelievable, it was a giant tree that was at least several thousand feet tall. Its trunk was like a majestic mountain peak, and its spreading branches and leaves were like a magnificent umbrella covering the earth.

How could such a huge tree suddenly appear when there was nothing there in that direction just a moment ago?

"What the hell? What's going on?" The coachman was utterly shocked.

This shock also spread to every town within a radius of thousands of miles of the Evil Barbarian City.

Everyone who saw it, whether they were demons or humans, was utterly shocked.

As the giant tree continued to grow taller, the Heavenly King and Destiny Star gradually approached the Yin God with the human head. The Destiny Star was not truly like a star, hanging outside the Nine Heavens or in the Milky Way.

Rather, it is something that is quite high above the ground. Before this, no one had ever been able to get close to their own destiny star.

Now, with the help of the human-headed Yin God's true form and the stone deity's body, Wang Bing is about to achieve this.

Everyone was incredibly curious about Wang Bing's true purpose.

The Thunder Sparrow and the Wind Sparrow fought fiercely with the King, causing drastic changes in the celestial phenomena, with wind and snow, torrential rain, and thunderclouds.

Fortunately, this was thousands of feet in the air; otherwise, the earth would have been flattened by the aftershocks of the battle between the three Dragon-Elephant Realm experts.

Fighting two Dragon-Elephant Realm experts alone, even with the assistance of the Stone Venerable, Wang Bing gradually found it difficult to resist, and his robes became tattered and worn.
