Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

Just one glance at it fills me with a restless, curious yet fearful feeling.

Ning Xiu examined it very carefully, not daring to be negligent at all. This stone slab was indeed something with an extraordinary origin; just by looking at it, one could feel the powerful force hidden within it.

If one can comprehend it, one might truly gain unimaginable power. No wonder the Evil Dragon King is so concerned about this Evil Heavenly Path.

Half an hour later.

【Xie Tiantong: Beginner (0/1000000)+】

Ning Xiu didn't know how many times he had memorized the words on the stone tablet. He only felt that his mind was almost numb. Finally, a new change appeared on the proficiency panel.

The good news is that Xie Tiantong's advancement does not require comprehension points, but the bad news is that just getting to the basics requires a terrifying amount of one million proficiency points.

Even though Ning Xiu had accumulated a lot of skill, he couldn't withstand Xie Tiantong's improvement several times.

"Indeed, it's not simple." Ning Xiu thought to himself, and then used one million points of proficiency on the Evil Heaven Pass.

In an instant, a powerful and obscure understanding erupted in Ning Xiu's mind, as if he had been enlightened, and he was instantly lost in thought.

I felt the world in front of me shrinking, and then what appeared before me was the sky, the stars, and the infinite vastness and nothingness.

chaos!

The expressions of the True Yang Emperor and the Evil Dragon King changed instantly, and they looked at Ning Xiu with disbelief.

Although the other party was only an Inner Realm Saint, for some reason, they felt an extremely terrifying aura emanating from Ning Xiu.

This aura was profound and boundless, its limits impossible to fathom. Even Zhenyang, who was once a great emperor, now felt like a bird encountering a high mountain.

Being in the mountain, one cannot see its entirety.

"He has mastered the Evil Heavenly Power!" the Evil Dragon King roared excitedly.

Although he himself had not grasped the true purpose of the Evil Heavenly Passage, the Evil Dragon King was extremely familiar with its other aspects.

The aura emanating from Ning Xiu now is that of the true Xie Tiantong.

He began to believe that Ning Xiu's talent was truly unprecedented.

Emperor Zhenyang was also speechless. Although he already knew that Ning Xiu was extremely talented, it was too outrageous that he had accomplished in just half an hour what the Evil Dragon King had not achieved in several eras.

“This boy is extraordinary. I think I should consider your suggestion. Only by staying by his side can I truly understand Xie Tiantong.” The Evil Dragon King became extremely excited, his twisting dragon head making a whooshing sound.

The reefs and corals that had accumulated over many years continued to fall, revealing the true form of the evil dragon king.

A black dragon, its entire body as black as jade.

"Perhaps he can reach a level that even I have never achieved. Perhaps he can leave this realm and push open the Heavenly Gate," Emperor Zhenyang murmured.

As the pioneer of the Great Emperor's Path, the True Yang Emperor knew very well how difficult this path was. It was because he encountered many obstacles that he was unable to keep up with the time and was forced to perish in order to resist the arrival of the Yin Tide.

In this era, the tide of darkness has arrived, but the radiance of the sun has yet to shine.

Ning Xiu has ample time to walk the path he didn't finish back then, and to witness the ultimate end of the Great Emperor's Path.

At this moment, the True Yang Emperor made up its mind to stay by Ning Xiu's side and do everything in its power to pave the way for Ning Xiu and cut down all obstacles.

The True Yang Emperor and the Evil Dragon King exchanged a glance.

"Let this era produce a great emperor of the human race."

[202] Golden Dragon Bloodline

In the endless void, a colossal purple divine stele, reaching to the heavens and the earth, stood tall, its surface glowing with luminous light and radiant with Daoist essence.

Every moment, white light emanates from the divine monument and merges into the void.

After an unknown amount of time, black light returned from the void and entered the divine monument.

A star flew in from afar and happened to hit the divine monument. The monument trembled, and fragments fell off its surface, drifting uncontrollably in all directions.

Over countless years, countless stars collided with the divine monument, and countless fragments scattered in all directions, their whereabouts unknown.

……

Ning Xiu looked at the three-legged bird statue and the Evil Dragon King. At that moment, the image of these two powerful figures in his eyes changed instantly.

The Evil Dragon King was completely transparent, and the meridians in his body were like dazzling golden ribbons. Each acupoint was like a star, some shining brightly, while others were dim and without light.

Within the body of the Evil Dragon King, many black and white substances were faintly circulating, but Ning Xiu did not yet know what they were.

The three-legged bird statue is even more interesting. At the very center of the three-legged bird statue, there is a ball of reddish-orange light, which is clearly a three-legged golden bird with only an outline.

This must be the remnant soul of the True Yang Emperor.

"How are you feeling?" the Evil Dragon King asked Ning Xiu.

His heart was filled with worry and tension. With the strength of the Evil Dragon King, he could have done either the Heavenly Path or the Great Emperor Path long ago, if he wanted to.

Even if the Great Emperor Dao was taken by the True Yang Emperor in his era, the Evil Dragon King could still ascend to the throne after the True Yang Emperor's fall.

However, he was only focused on the mysteries of Xie Tiantong, so he hesitated to act, and this delay has lasted until now.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the Evil Dragon King knew very well that if he relied solely on himself, it would be a long time before he could comprehend the Evil Heavenly Power.

But now, a ruthless genius who instantly comprehended the Evil Heavenly Power has appeared.

The Evil Dragon King must seize this rare opportunity to learn the Evil Heavenly Technique with Ning Xiu's help, so Ning Xiu's safety is of paramount importance to the Evil Dragon King.

This human boy absolutely cannot be allowed to get into trouble!

"It's hard to describe. Xie Tian Tong is not a traditional cultivation technique. It has no meaning, but I feel that it contains some kind of very powerful force." Ning Xiu pondered for a while and said slowly.

"I have been studying Xie Tiantong for several eras, but I have never been able to comprehend anything from it. You are far, far superior to me," the Evil Dragon King couldn't help but exclaim.

Those who can reach the Harmony Heaven Realm are all peerless geniuses of their time, and none of them are weak in talent.

This can be seen from the fact that the Shang Dynasty fell into a state of decline after the era of the Three Sages.

However, even a prodigy like the Evil Dragon King couldn't help but feel envious when he met Ning Xiu.

"Senior, is there any significance to this spot on your body?" Ning Xiu suddenly asked, pointing to the Evil Dragon King's left neck.

Emperor Zhenyang looked at the Evil Dragon King with suspicion. He was already a powerful expert at the Heavenly Dao Realm, so what else could there be about his body?

To everyone's surprise, the Evil Dragon King's expression changed, and he said with admiration, "You actually saw through it? Is it because of Xie Tiantong's ability?"

Emperor Zhenyang immediately asked, "So you're saying there's really something wrong with your body?"

"In the several eras I've comprehended the Evil Heavenly Connection, I've realized that all things have the Eighteen Star Acupoints within their bodies. Activating each acupoint can unleash a portion of their potential. If all eighteen acupoints can be activated, one can go further on the Path to Heaven. However, the existence of the Eighteen Star Acupoints is extremely elusive. Even those at the Harmonious Heaven Dao Realm cannot sense them. After entering the Path to Heaven, the Eighteen Star Acupoints will gradually and completely close. Even if one discovers this after becoming a Celestial Being, there is nothing one can do. I have already opened twelve so far, and I only need six more to open them all. The one that this human boy is talking about is the one I am currently working on."

"The Eighteen Star Acupoints?" Emperor Zhenyang was very surprised, because even he did not know about this.

It can only be said that the Evil Dragon King's long-standing stagnation at the Heavenly Dao Realm has indeed had some advantages, at least he has discovered the Eighteen Star Acupoints.

“Senior, do you have the Heavenly Dao Inscription? Perhaps I can help you open up all the acupoints in one go,” Ning Xiu said earnestly.

The moment he comprehended the Evil Heavenly Passage using the proficiency panel, he sensed that the black and white matter flowing within the Evil Dragon King's body was very similar to the aura on the Heavenly Dao Stele, and it was very likely that they were of the same origin.

If we could obtain the Heavenly Dao Inscription and try it, we might be able to verify our guesses.

"Are you sure?!" The Evil Dragon King was overjoyed. With a flick of his tail, he retrieved a Heavenly Dao Inscription Stele, similar to the one from the Great Shang Dynasty, from the depths of the abyss.

For a powerful being at the Harmonious Heaven Realm, to break through to the Celestial Being Realm, they must rely on the Heavenly Dao Inscription to comprehend it and achieve the breakthrough.

As a powerful figure from several eras ago, the Evil Dragon King had already found a passageway for himself, and now he no longer needed it.

Because he could try to walk the Path of Heaven and Man or the Path of the Great Emperor whenever he wanted, the Heavenly Dao Stele in his hand had been sealed away for many years. When it was taken out again today, it was covered with moss and mud.

Ning Xiu reached out and wiped the surface of the Heavenly Dao Inscription, and the debris instantly dispersed, restoring the inscription to its original appearance.

In Ning Xiu's eyes, the Heavenly Dao Stele constantly emitted and received black and white matter, which mysteriously formed a connection with the body of the Evil Dragon King.

"This black thing looks like the power of thought, so wouldn't this white thing be the power of heaven and earth?" Ning Xiu thought to himself, and then, as if by instinct, he began to mobilize the Heavenly Dao Inscription Tablet.

In an instant, all the black and white matter in the Heavenly Dao Stele surged out and, under Ning Xiu's control, was violently poured into the body of the Evil Dragon King.

The eighteen acupoints of the stars are all connected. To open them, one must attack from the first to the last. Ning Xiu mobilized the black and white matter and moved unimpeded. Because the Black Dragon King had already opened up twelve connections with his own power, Ning Xiu rushed directly to the thirteenth acupoint. In an instant, the thirteenth acupoint shone brightly and burst forth with infinite potential.

Then the fourteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth...

When all eighteen acupoints were opened, eighteen circular golden lights shone brightly on the Evil Dragon King's body. Anyone could feel that his body was like a raging volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

"Roar!"

The Evil Dragon King roared to the sky, and a wave of sound instantly shot into the heavens, pushing aside the surface of the sea.

It actually created a vacuum rift tens of thousands of feet deep above the East China Sea.

The seawater on both sides could not flow back into it; it could only be squeezed out in all directions, creating towering waves that submerged the island.

"If you were to pursue the path of the Great Emperor again, your achievements would surely surpass mine back then," the True Yang Emperor said, sensing the potential within the Evil Dragon King.

Whether it is the Path of the Great Emperor or the Path of Heaven and Man, once you embark on it, you must take reaching the end as your goal, otherwise you will never be able to leave this world and witness eternity.

Although the True Yang Emperor was the most talented genius of his time, he still failed to witness eternity, which is something he still regrets to this day.

The power of the Yin Tide comes from beyond the realm. If it could achieve eternity, perhaps when it blocked the Yin Tide for this realm back then, it wouldn't have had to pay the price of its own demise.

"I, the Great Emperor, will not leave. I will leave this human boy with the only chance. What you have gained today is truly remarkable. I will definitely witness with my own eyes how far you can go in the future." The Evil Dragon King looked at Ning Xiu with great excitement, unable to hide his inner excitement.

With a jolt, the restrictions that the True Yang Emperor had placed on him over the years were completely shattered by the Evil Dragon King, rendering them useless.

Then the massive body of the Evil Dragon King began to crawl out of the abyss little by little, causing the seabed to shake violently.

"Dragon Ancestor!"

Just then, a small golden dragon swam anxiously from not far away; it was the same dragon that had warned Ning Xiu earlier.

Seeing that the Evil Dragon King had actually broken free from the abyss, the little golden dragon became incredibly excited. The legend of the Dragon Ancestor had been circulating among the Jiaolong clan for many years, but to this day, very few Jiaolong had actually seen the Dragon Ancestor.

They had only heard that a powerful dragon ancestor had always lived beneath that abyss, and that one day he would break free and lead the dragon race to once again dominate the world.

Today, this extremely mysterious Dragon Ancestor has finally made his appearance!

"Golden Dragon Bloodline?" Upon seeing the little golden dragon, the Evil Dragon King seemed to be lost in some kind of memory.

I remember when I was sealed here by the True Yang Emperor, the Evil Dragon King was not yet mature. When he had nothing to do, he would capture aquatic creatures passing through this sea area and force them to mate.

The dragon's ancestral nature is unavoidable.

Gradually, the aquatic creatures that mated with him gave birth to many intelligent offspring. Among humans, these aquatic beings were called 'demons'.

The Jiaolong was created by the forced mating of the Evil Dragon King and a snake demon. As a result, they gained the most powerful talent from the Evil Dragon King, which enabled them to become the strongest aquatic creature and dominate the East Sea.
