Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

With a wave of its six arms, the entire dragon claw instantly exploded, turning into countless blood droplets that fell to the ground, creating a rain of blood and a sky full of red mist.

A painful wail echoed from within the bronze hall. The destruction of this arm must have caused considerable injury to the mysterious man with the blue light.

Ning Xiu summoned the Yin Liu, Zhu Long, and Jin Wu spears and hurled them at the location of the Bronze Hall, where the Great Annihilation Spear Technique was being used.

All three guns glowed with a black light of annihilation; once they came into contact with them, they would be reduced to ashes.

Seeing the three guns, the mysterious man with the blue light clearly sensed that something was wrong. A blue light barrier appeared in front of the bronze hall, intending to block Ning Xiu's attack.

boom!

The moment the Great Annihilation Spear Technique struck the Azure Light Barrier, the barrier erupted with dazzling brilliance, illuminating the entire world.

The sun shines on the earth, making it lush and green again, with green light covering the fields.

At that moment, a thought immediately flashed into Ning Xiu's mind: life!

If the Great Annihilation Spear Technique represents the ultimate destruction and death, then the Mysterious Man of Azure Light represents the most natural vitality.

Death and life, two elements that are inherently mutually restraining, are now displayed in the sky above Xiaosang Village, vying for dominance.

The Xuan Yin Domain, which should have been a barren wasteland, was unusually adorned with green shoots under the azure light.

"How is this possible!" Emperor Zhenyang was extremely shocked. Even he had never heard of such a thing.

For the Xuan Yin Domain to sprout vegetation before the arrival of Yang Yao is even rarer than the emergence of a great emperor in this era.

Zizizi!

The three spears, carrying annihilating black light, spun continuously on the blue light barrier. Although their speed had slowed down, the Great Annihilation Spear Technique could still be seen drilling three holes in the blue light barrier, showing signs of breaking through it.

Just then, Ning Xiu made a move.

He transformed into a streak of light, slamming six fists violently into the azure barrier.

The combined power of the Great Black Heaven of the Floating Pagoda and the fifth level of the Ascending Peak Force erupted completely in that instant, causing the entire blue light barrier to shatter and crack into a large area of ​​spiderweb-like fissures.

break!

Click click click!

Ning Xiu continued to exert his power, and the blue light barrier instantly shattered, turning into countless light fragments that filled the sky.

The three spears, now free from obstruction, once again charged towards the bronze hall. The dragon claws rushed forward to try and block them, but the moment they came into contact with the Great Annihilation Spear Technique, they couldn't even last a breath before being annihilated.

Under Ning Xiu's watchful gaze, the Great Annihilation Spear Technique slammed violently into the bronze hall.

The seemingly solid bronze hall was no match for the power of the Great Annihilation Spear Technique and collapsed on the spot, revealing the mysterious blue-glowing figure hidden inside.

"What?" Ning Xiu was immediately shocked when he saw the scene inside the bronze hall.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that it would be such a sight inside.

A gaunt giant covered in purple pustules sat on a skull throne, wearing a tattered crown that was long since decayed.

What's most terrifying is that this giant is covered with all sorts of arms, some human and some seemingly demonic, in bizarre shapes. Among them are several severed arms that are still bleeding, which appear to be the dragon claws that Ning Xiu had just broken off.

"What is this thing?" Ning Xiu frowned. What kind of monsters and demons are these left over from the last era? Is there not a single normal one among them?

"If I hadn't been injured and unable to recover, how could I have been bullied like this by someone like you today? It's truly despicable!" the skinny giant said.

His voice was incredibly loud and powerful, like the tolling of a world-ending bell or a thunderclap from the heavens, causing the entire earth to tremble slightly.

One can imagine how terrifying this guy would be if he were at his peak; he would be far beyond what Ning Xiu could handle at this moment.

"Even so, today I will show you what the 'Divine Tree Emperor' truly is!" The frail giant struggled to his feet from the skull throne, and then reached behind it and pulled.

He pulled out a wooden spear, and a vibrant blue light burst forth from it, spreading out in all directions.

Wherever the blue light touched, the earth was covered with fragrant grass, and trees and flowers sprouted up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. In no time, the whole earth became full of life.

There was absolutely no trace of the Xuan Yin Domain descending. This great power made Ning Xiu suddenly realize why Xiao Sang Village had not been affected by the Yin Tide; it must have been due to the protection of this giant.

Judging from the power displayed by that wooden spear, it must at least be a national treasure.

"Battle Zone!"

A star rose from the mind of the Divine Tree Emperor. At first, the star was only the size of a fist, but as it gradually rose into the sky, it grew larger and larger until it floated in the sky, no different from Ning Xiu's destiny star.

The star of destiny shot out twelve beams of light downwards, which fell into the earth, and the earth seemed to rumble and roar as if an earth dragon were turning over.

A circular wall of trees rose from the ground, enclosing the entire area within a radius of thousands of miles.

Within this area, the vitality has become much stronger, at least three times stronger than before. Fighting in such a place would definitely be very advantageous for the Divine Tree Emperor.

"The Destiny Star can be used in this way!" Ning Xiu immediately felt that he had broadened his horizons.

No wonder I had never discovered any hidden powerhouses from the previous era in this world before. Because the celestial stars are so obvious, anyone who is hiding, no matter how well they are hidden, can be seen at a glance.

Now that Ning Xiu knew that the Inner Realm Saintly Realm could even hide one's Destiny Star within one's body, it was a revelation that opened his eyes to a whole new world.

Unfortunately, Emperor Zhenyang must have lost too many memories, otherwise he would have explained this to me.

"Kid, you have to be careful. The Battle Domain is the most terrifying place in the Inner Realm. You must not underestimate it," Emperor Zhenyang warned.

"What is a battle zone?" Ning Xiu asked curiously, as this was the first time he had heard this term.

"Using the power of the Destiny Star, one can forcibly construct a domain as their own home ground, which can prevent the creatures inside from escaping and prevent the creatures outside from running in. Unless your strength is far superior to the creature that opened the battle domain, no one can open it unless he dispels the battle domain."

Emperor Zhenyang's tone was very serious. Generally speaking, the ability to open a battle domain means that the fight has reached a point of no return, and the situation is bound to be a fight to the death.

"Oh!" Ning Xiu exclaimed in surprise. How could this be so similar to his own Saintly Aspect ability?

As soon as the battle domain opened, the Divine Tree Emperor, who was already like an old man, instantly became lively. The life force in the battle domain flowed in wildly and continuously, penetrating into the Divine Tree Emperor's body.

His body began to swell, and his already shriveled muscles became incredibly strong, gradually revealing the giant's powerful physique.

Sensing the aura emanating from the Divine Tree Emperor, Ning Xiu's expression turned serious. The methods of an Inner Realm Saint were beyond his comprehension, and a slight misstep could lead to utter defeat.

Furthermore, given that the True Yang Emperor's memory is now practically like that of someone with Alzheimer's, Ning Xiu couldn't believe that the other party had actually told him everything he knew about the Inner Realm.

After all, the other party had only just brought up something as important as the Battle Zone.

boom!

Crimson lotus patterns appeared on Ning Xiu's body, each flower detaching from his body and floating around him.

It was the red lotus formed from karmic fire that allowed Ning Xiu to make new progress in controlling the karmic fire after elevating the Great Black Heaven of the Floating Pagoda to the second level.

Now I'm able to control the karmic fire around me to a little extent.

"You have offended the king's authority! Today you will die in my battle domain! I will use your head to adorn the throne!" Emperor Shenmu roared and charged directly at Ning Xiu.

His massive size meant that one step could cover the distance of a hundred steps for others. He swung his spear at Ning Xiu, who had never seen anyone wield a spear like that before. It was practically no different from wielding a stick.

Although he was only half the size of the Divine Tree Emperor, Ning Xiu was not afraid of strength at all. He picked up three spears and charged straight at the Divine Tree Emperor to confront him head-on.

boom!

The moment the three shots collided with the first, Ning Xiu felt a numbness in his arm. The opponent's strength was beyond his expectations. If his strength hadn't far surpassed that of ordinary people, he would have broken his arm bones on the spot.

The Divine Tree Emperor, on the other hand, appeared more disheveled, staggering back a hundred paces, which was enough to demonstrate the difference in strength between the two.

At this moment, Emperor Shenmu was extremely shocked. He never imagined that his proud strength was no match for the human before him.

Furthermore, the difference in their weapons was not significant; the three long spears in the opponent's hand were no weaker than the wooden spear in his hand.

Such an extraordinary half-step Dragon Elephant Upper Realm was something even the Divine Tree Emperor had rarely seen in the previous era.

"Impossible! We are now in the end times of Dharma, and the rules of the world are limited. Even the Inner Realm Saints are hard to come by. How could such an existence possibly appear?" The Divine Tree Emperor was greatly shocked.

With Ning Xiu's talent, if it were in a few previous eras, he would probably have been able to become a Great Emperor for the human race.

Ning Xiu didn't care what the Divine Tree Emperor was thinking. Since the True Yang Emperor had made it clear how serious the risks were of opening the Battle Domain, he certainly wouldn't let his guard down and give his opponent even the slightest chance to react.

Take advantage of someone's illness to kill them!

Ning Xiu charged directly at the Divine Wood Emperor once more, his body enveloped in a rapidly spinning crimson lotus of karmic fire. Once it made contact with the Divine Wood Emperor's body, even if the emperor was in the battle zone, he would not be able to sustain the fight for long.

Knowing that Ning Xiu's strength was greater than his own, the Divine Tree Emperor was not stupid. Naturally, he would not engage Ning Xiu in direct combat. Instead, he planted his wooden spear into the ground, and a surge of vitality poured into the earth. Giant trees rose into the sky, blocking Ning Xiu's path and forming a barrier of trees.

Ning Xiu didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. A large amount of internal energy from the Burning Heaven erupted from his body. Any grass or tree that came into contact with it was instantly scorched and charred by the heat wave, turning into black ash.

Great Annihilation Spear Technique!

The three spears thrust out simultaneously, blocking every possible escape route for the Divine Tree Emperor, leaving him no choice but to take the hits head-on.

Spring returns to all things!

The Divine Tree Emperor spun his spear rapidly, and the azure light emanating from it spread continuously around, eventually forming a massive tornado of life. In terms of sheer power, it was in no way inferior to the annihilation black light of the Great Annihilation Spear Technique.

Vitality vs. Annihilation.

Ning Xiu's eyes were filled with anticipation. Only by fighting against a powerful expert like the Divine Wood Emperor, who was at the Inner Realm Saint, could he truly see the power of the Great Annihilation Spear Technique.

The moment the life-giving tornado collided with the annihilating black light, the world instantly darkened. The villagers of Xiaosang Village could no longer withstand the oppressive feeling and collapsed to the ground in fear.

The earth cracked open and shattered into pieces, and the dark clouds in the sky were completely torn apart. Even the Yin energy of the Xuan Yin Domain could not withstand such power.

When everything returned to normal, the vibrant landscape created in the Divine Tree Emperor's Battlefield had been completely destroyed, and the surrounding tree wall was in dire straits.

Ning Xiu floated in the air, covered in blood, with blood dripping continuously from his wounds.

On the other hand, the Divine Tree Emperor was in an even worse state, with many of his arms broken off, leaving him with only two arms, a truly pitiful sight.

[191] Nine Heavens Gale Realm

"Such powerful spear skills were rare even in the previous era. Who are you? Could you be the reincarnation of some powerful figure?"

The Divine Tree Emperor looked weakly at Ning Xiu, his eyes filled with apprehension.

This person's strength completely exceeded his expectations. If it were during his prime, he could still put up a fight with Ning Xiu, but in his current state, he was not so good.

"If I'm not mistaken, the method you want to heal is through incense offerings or faith, right?" Ning Xiu raised his spear and pointed it at the Divine Tree Emperor: "Within the Great Shang territory, anyone who seeks to obtain incense offerings, regardless of their purpose, is guilty of a serious crime, and you will not escape the consequences."

"Why should I follow the Great Shang calendar when I do things? In the Xuan Yin Domain era, Chao Tiandu has probably long since disappeared into the world. You, the Demon Subduing Commandant, are already all alone. What use is it for you to say these things?"

The Divine Tree Emperor forcefully plunged his spear into his chest, and the spear instantly erupted with a powerful life force that filled and enveloped his entire body. This life force suppressed the annihilation power attached to his wounds.

The wound began to heal visibly, which made Ning Xiu extremely envious.

The origin of the Divine Wood Emperor's spear is definitely not simple. Ning Xiu had never heard of anything that could unleash so much vitality.

If I can obtain it myself, my strength will definitely be further enhanced.
