Start slaying demons from the proficiency panel.

Using the proficiency panel to become an emperor is also a way for Ning Xiu to save himself.

To achieve this, one can only keep proving one's Dao by killing, slaughtering those powerful beings at the Heavenly Dao Realm, and then growing stronger at an insane pace.

Once Ning Xiu begins this action, his terror might far surpass that of a Reincarnated Emperor for a Heavenly Dao Realm expert.

After all, a Reincarnated Emperor only needs to take one person's life at a time, but Ning Xiu is taking the lives of everyone indiscriminately.

The Evil Dragon King looked at Qiu Chengguo on the ground and flew forward at high speed with rolling black clouds around him. He had no intention of concealing his aura and wanted the Venerable Mountain and River to feel his arrival.

If you're going to kill, then there's no need to hide it.

boom.

A muffled groan suddenly came from beneath the earth, and then a ravine cracked open on the plain outside Qiucheng, from which a giant stone arm stretched out and was raised high.

A crack suddenly appeared in his palm, revealing an eyeball.

Although he did not know the purpose of the Evil Dragon King's visit, Venerable Mountain and River immediately showed his vigilance.

Once you reach the Harmony Heaven Realm, you basically have everything you need; resources, treasures, and cultivation techniques are all useless.

The only thing that a powerful being at this level wants to pursue is the next level: the Celestial Being.

Therefore, unless it's the very last step, a powerhouse at the Harmonious Heaven Realm would never easily risk their life against another powerhouse at the Harmonious Heaven Realm.

This is a complete waste of energy, and then the moment the arm was extended...

Suddenly, the earth was pulled up by a tremendous force, as if to uproot the entire Qiu Chengguo.

[211] The Appearance of the Heavenly Father

"What kind of fellow Daoist are you! I have no deep-seated hatred for you, do I?"

Seeing that the Evil Dragon King attacked without giving any warning, an angry roar immediately came from beneath the earth.

Although those at the Harmonious Heaven Realm are unwilling to make a move, they are by no means easy targets. If you insist on fighting, they will have no choice but to accept the challenge.

"Stop talking nonsense." The Evil Dragon King sneered disdainfully. The entire Qiu Cheng Kingdom was once again raised dozens of feet. The people of the kingdom fled in terror, either hiding in their homes or kneeling on the ground to pray for the protection of the Mountain and River Venerable.

Seeing this scene, Ning Xiu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. If he didn't have great strength, the Great Shang Dynasty might very well end up like this one day.

In the face of true power, all living beings are as fragile as ants, utterly vulnerable.

Suddenly, mountain peaks rose from the ground and rammed into the evil dragon king.

Each of these mountains possesses the force of a million pounds, and when countless mountains merge and attack from all sides, even the air itself becomes heavy and oppressive.

With a thought, the Evil Dragon King instantly gathered a large number of dark clouds in the sky, and a torrential downpour fell, forming countless layers of rain curtains around him.

The seemingly fragile rain curtain, upon impacting the mountain peaks, completely enveloped them, perfectly embodying the principle of overcoming strength with gentleness.

Before this, Ning Xiu had never quite understood what Dao the Evil Dragon King was merging with, but now, he had a clearer understanding.

Dragons are born with the ability to summon wind and rain and control the waters of the world; it's possible that the evil dragon king's path is related to this.

The rain poured down relentlessly, quickly turning the flatlands into swamps and basins into lakes. At this rate, it wouldn't even take the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to submerge this entire land.

The Venerable Mountain and Rivers saw through the Evil Dragon King's intentions and immediately helped raise the ground level, intending to join forces with the Falling Rain on the high ground.

If you submerge me by an inch, I will rise by a foot.

More and more mountain peaks rose into the sky, crashing into the Evil Dragon King and quickly engulfing his enormous body until it disappeared from sight.

The rain curtain was deformed by the impact of the mountain peaks, and seemed to be on the verge of being smashed to pieces at any moment.

If all the mountain peaks collided with each other from all directions at once, Ning Xiu had no doubt that he would be crushed into dust by at least tens of millions of pounds of force in an instant.

"If such a powerful figure could join my battle domain, the power of the Rebirth Pagoda would become even greater." Ning Xiu thought with delight.

The Rebirth Pagoda battle domain can be considered one of Ning Xiu's trump cards.

He only needs to prove himself by killing the Great Emperor, and on the day the Rebirth Pagoda is opened, he will be able to face all the strong in the world by himself.

Only then could one be called the great emperor of this era.

"Senior, do you need my help?" Ning Xiu asked.

"What a joke! Do you think I can't handle a mountain spirit like this? Although I've been underwater for many years, my strength is far beyond what ordinary cultivators at the Heavenly Dao Realm can compare to." Upon hearing Ning Xiu's words, the Evil Dragon King immediately became serious.

He stretched out a claw that instantly grew large enough to blot out the sky. With one swipe, he pressed down on the mountains, burying them in his hand. With another swipe, he cast a shadow over the entire earth, plunging it into darkness.

"My God, what did Qiu Chengguo do to deserve this? Why are they so determined to kill us all?"

“O Venerable Mountain and River, please protect your people. Our family has been worshipping you for generations. Our little grandson was just born recently and has not yet experienced this world.”

"Mother, why is it dark? I'm scared."

...

Under the dragon's claws, the entire Qiu Cheng Kingdom was instantly shrouded in unease. All the people could only place their hopes on the pillar of Qiu Cheng Kingdom, the Mountain and River Venerable whom they remembered as absolutely omnipotent.

Just then, in the center of Qiu Chengguo's capital, a two-zhang-tall stone statue suddenly flashed with a spiritual light in its eyes, and the entire statue moved in response, soaring into the sky.

"I didn't want to fight to the death, but since you're being so aggressive, don't blame me." The stone statue rammed into the dragon's claw, its entire body disappearing into it.

To the enormous dragon claw, the stone statue entering its body was like a splinter, utterly insignificant.

But in an instant, the spot where the statue had disappeared began to petrify. The petrification spread very quickly, and in no time it covered most of the evil dragon king's claw.

"Hmm?" The Evil Dragon King was startled. He could feel that he had lost his sense of that part of the claw.

The stone statue possesses such power that it can even destroy other people's bodies.

If this situation is left unchecked, the Evil Dragon King's entire body will eventually be petrified, turning him into a mindless stone.

There are many paths in the world, and each path has its own unique abilities.

With the Blood Qi Path that Ning Xiu chose, he can control any being that has a physical body and possesses Blood Qi.

It can either directly disrupt the opponent's Qi and blood, or make the opponent's Qi and blood as strong and powerful as a dragon.

The path chosen by Venerable Mountain and River must not be simple either. It will probably not be as easy as it is said for the Evil Dragon King to completely subdue it.

A giant arm with eyes reached out and grabbed the petrified claw of the Evil Dragon King, throwing him away with force. At the same time, more giant arms emerged from the earth, binding the Evil Dragon King's body and trying to pull him underground so that he would not harm Qiu Chengguo.

The moment the Evil Dragon King landed, the earth suddenly cracked and a terrifying wave surged up thousands of feet above the ground, transforming into a giant wave that covered the entire land.

In a mere instant, without any chance to react, the area where Qiu Chengguo was located had become a vast expanse of water, and all the people were drowned in it.

Such a change happened so fast that even the Venerable Mountain and River could not react. By the time the deed was done, all that could be heard was a mournful cry from beneath the earth.

The Evil Dragon King was far too ruthless and had no intention of giving Venerable Mountain and Rivers a chance.

"Come out!" More waves surged from the ground, and the Evil Dragon King roared as a gigantic figure was lifted out of the earth.

Ning Xiu looked closely and saw that it was a fat toad, as big as a small mountain, with its body covered in yellowish-brown soil and its back covered with lumps of soil and rocks.

It seems that this is the true form of Venerable Mountain and River. Everyone thought that Venerable Mountain and River was a mountain, but in the end, they never expected that he would be a toad.

"Destroying a mere country is a piece of cake. The main reason I had to find his true form before I could act was because I was afraid he would escape. Otherwise, if he were determined to escape, you would be helpless against him," the Evil Dragon King laughed.

His petrified claw snapped off with a snap, and a brand new claw quickly grew back.

The fat toad was completely surrounded by seawater, like a water prison, which completely blocked its escape route. If it could not be broken through, it would become a turtle in a jar.

The Evil Dragon King combined the true water of the world, having just gathered the mysterious water from the bottom of the sea directly from between heaven and earth. A single drop of this water can weigh ten thousand catties, and when combined, it can crush everything.

Venerable Mountain and River never expected that his true form would be so easily exposed by the Evil Dragon King, and he was inexplicably flustered.

He could sense that the Evil Dragon King was no ordinary being. Although he could tell that the Evil Dragon King was at the Heavenly Dao Realm, for some reason, the Evil Dragon King gave him an overwhelming sense of pressure, the kind of pressure that could kill him if he was not careful.

"Just who is this guy?" Venerable Mountain and River croaked, opening his mouth wide as if to swallow the surrounding Xuan Water. As a mountain spirit toad, being able to reach the Heavenly Dao Realm was something that could not have been done without extraordinary talent.

The Mountain and River Venerable's talent is a unique internal stomach, containing a hidden world within. If fully developed, it can devour the heavens and the earth.

Although he is not yet able to do that with his current strength at the Heavenly Dao Realm, swallowing an entire sea is still no problem for him.

Streams of mysterious water surged into the body of the Mountain and River Venerable, where they were completely absorbed.

As a result, the Evil Dragon King kept summoning Xuan Shui, and the Mountain and River Venerable kept devouring it, and for a time the situation was deadlocked.

Ning Xiu looked at the Evil Dragon King, and for some reason, the other party had a hint of mockery on his face, as if he was very disdainful of the Mountain and River Venerable's actions.

Cuckoo!

The Venerable Mountain and River looked at the Evil Dragon King with disdain: "Nothing special. Even if you bring all the water from all the lakes and seas in the world, I can still swallow it all up."

"Is that so?" The Evil Dragon King smiled inexplicably, and as soon as he finished speaking, Venerable Mountain and River's face immediately showed a strange expression.

His eyes suddenly burst open, and a large amount of clear water gushed out of his eye sockets. Not only that, but even more clear water sprayed out from all parts of his body, turning the Venerable Mountain and River into a living fountain.

"The Xuan Shui will attach itself to your flesh and blood, expelling the body's original water. Even celestial beings wouldn't dare absorb so much. What makes you, a mere cultivator at the Harmonious Heaven Realm, dare to do so? You are courting your own destruction." The Evil Dragon King's thoughts stirred.

The Venerable Mountain and River suddenly shrank and began to gather together, like a ball.

As more and more clear water was expelled from his body, Venerable Mountain and River's body gradually became out of control, leaving him at the mercy of the Evil Dragon King.

"Alright, you can do it now," the Evil Dragon King said to Ning Xiu.

Although those in the Harmonious Heaven Realm possess powerful healing abilities, these abilities become useless once they are controlled.

It was nothing more than a lump of flesh waiting to be slaughtered.

Upon hearing this, Ning Xiu immediately summoned several of his spears and used the Great Annihilation Spear Technique to shoot at the immobilized Mountain and River Venerable.

As the terrifying light of annihilation hurtled toward him, fear crept into Venerable Mountain's eyes.

He never imagined that he would die in this situation. As a cultivator at the Harmonious Heaven Realm, he had no ability to resist and could only quietly wait for death.

Without any hindrance, the Great Annihilation Spear Technique easily pierced through the head of Venerable Mountain and River. The light of annihilation permeated his body, instantly turning Venerable Mountain and River's body into ashes bit by bit, making it impossible to heal.

The moment Venerable Mountain and River's body completely dissipated, Ning Xiu also obtained what he wanted as he had hoped.

As expected of someone with a powerful figure like the Evil Dragon King leading the way, they are incredibly efficient and decisive when fighting monsters.

If he were to rely solely on himself, Ning Xiu estimated that killing Venerable Shanchuan would not be so easy; this is the advantage of having someone behind him.

With the death of Venerable Mountain and River, the Evil Dragon King no longer needed to maintain his methods. The vast ocean on the ground instantly dissipated, leaving behind only a desolate land.

At this point, you can see people standing on the ground, soaking wet and somewhat at a loss.
