Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

172: Chapter 174 Slaying SpearBlood Essence Devouring Dao True Monarch had fallen, completely dead. His Primordial Spirit turned into dust, and even his Golden Nature was ground away by Yuan Feng.

This Golden Core True Monarch, on whom Xuan Yuan Sect had placed high hopes, and who had achieved his Golden Core through the Blood Sacrifice of hundreds of millions of lives in Xuan Prefecture, fell in the dark, boundless outer Star Domain before he could even display his brilliance, which was truly regrettable.

However, Yuan Feng’s wrath was far from appeased.

The instigator of all this, True Monarch Lu Ge, was still alive.

Only by slaying Lu Ge and annihilating Xuan Yuan Sect could Yuan Feng’s anger be released.

”I sense it!”

Yuan Feng looked in a certain direction, and a golden Dao path extended from beneath his feet, carrying him across the Star Domain at a speed far exceeding that of light.

At the Golden Core stage, a Cultivator’s perception of their own Karma greatly improves. They can often sense the causes and effects related to themselves even before things happen, like a cicada sensing the autumn wind before it stirs.

Especially for existing Karma, or Karma with a strong connection to oneself, one can trace it back along the Karma thread.

Yuan Feng found True Monarch Lu Ge’s location precisely by following a Karma thread.

If this Geng Jin True Monarch were at his Peak, he would certainly not have been found so easily by Yuan Feng through a Karma thread.

In fact, he would have sensed Yuan Feng’s attempt to find him through Karma and would have sought out Yuan Feng first.

Of course, a Golden Core True Monarch can also actively shield their own Karma, unless an existence far surpassing their own Realm discovers it.

For example, before a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal, a Golden Core True Monarch has almost no secrets.

Boom!

In a certain part of the Star Domain outside the Luotian Realm, continuous loud bangs shook heaven and earth, as two Golden Core Dharma Idols fiercely clashed.

One was entirely crimson, holding axes in both hands, with a crimson melting furnace suspended above his head; this was Ghost Axe.

The other was entirely golden, enveloped in endless geng metal qi, with Killing Intent sweeping in all directions. Behind him, nine Immortal Swords floated, clanging, their Sword Intent severing the firmament.

Ghost Axe appeared to be in a very bad state, covered in sword marks. Sharp and peerless Sword Intent condensed on them, making the wounds difficult to heal and constantly damaging his Dharma Idol.

True Monarch Lu Ge seemed much better, with basically no injuries. His Aura was as strong as the heavens, and the might of his Golden Core Middle Stage caused the Universe Star Domain to tremble.

After all, he was a True Monarch who had fallen from the Golden Core Late Stage.

Neither his vision nor his combat power was comparable to Ghost Axe.

If Ghost Axe hadn’t used the Magic Treasure left by his Ancestral Master, he would have long since been defeated by True Monarch Lu Ge.

The founding Ancestral Master of Qi Xuan Sect was a Golden Core Peak Bing Fire True Monarch. His Life-Bound Magical Artifact was a furnace, known as the Bing Ji Red Sun Dao Melting Furnace.

This renowned Golden Core Peak True Monarch fell in his pursuit of the Nascent Soul Realm in the Dao of Artifact Refining, leaving his Lifebound Treasure to suppress the Luck of Qi Xuan Sect.

”Artifact Inscription, where do you get the courage to fight this True Monarch!”

True Monarch Lu Ge’s words were full of Killing Intent. The nine Immortal Swords behind him simultaneously unsheathed, clanging, and golden Sword Qi soared into the sky, peerless and powerful.

”I have a premonition that the one who dies here today won’t be me, but you, Lu Ge!”

Ghost Axe spat out a mouthful of crimson blood, then grinned at True Monarch Lu Ge, full of provocation.

”Hehe, not only will this True Monarch not die today, but I will also return with your head and Golden Nature!”

True Monarch Lu Ge’s voice was cold. The nine Immortal Swords struck out simultaneously, their blades incomparably sharp, carrying the might to shatter all heavens and stars as they slashed across.

Ghost Axe’s expression was solemn. The crimson melting furnace above his head cast down billions of rays of light, and he raised his large axe high, preparing to directly confront True Monarch Lu Ge’s attack.

”Is that so?!”

At this critical moment, a voice filled with anger exploded in this Star Domain.

A majestic and powerful figure appeared in front of Ghost Axe, golden fur flying, boundless Battle Intent shaking the cosmos. He was like an Immortal Dao Lord descending upon the world, awe-inspiring.

Clang!

Yuan Feng swung his fists, his brilliant golden blood Qi piercing through the sun and moon. His fist imprints were world-shaking, striking the nine Immortal Swords that slashed down, causing earth-shattering clanging sounds and countless sparks.

Nine bloodstains appeared on Yuan Feng’s hands, deep enough to expose the golden bones gleaming with Immortal radiance.

”As expected of True Monarch Lu Ge, whom even the Great Qi Imperial Family fears a little.”

Yuan Feng’s body glowed with brilliant golden light, as if he were clad in golden armor. His Battle Intent soared like a Dragon to the Nine Heavens, and his Killing Intent was like a sea engulfing the Star River!

”So it’s you, Demon Ape. I didn’t expect you to actually grow so powerful!”

True Monarch Lu Ge’s gaze, filled with sharp Killing Intent, swept over, his voice cold and emotionless, as if intending to freeze this Star Domain.

”Before I came, I killed a Golden Core called Blood Essence Devouring Dao True Monarch. Next, it’s your turn, Lu Ge!”

Blazing divine light burst forth from Yuan Feng’s eyes. The Battle Against Heaven Dharma Idol manifested again, and ten thousand Dao principles and divine chains intertwined around his body. The might of Battle Against Heaven swept across the entire Star Domain, causing countless stars to tremble.

”My useless Disciple, after achieving the Blood Fiend Golden Core, was killed by you?!”

True Monarch Lu Ge’s calm mind fluctuated violently. The Sword Intent of the nine Immortal Swords behind him raged, tearing a large section of the Star Domain into fragments.

”So that’s it. You are the greatest calamity my Xuan Yuan Sect must face during its Rebirth from the ashes!”

This Geng Jin True Monarch seemed to understand something, and his gaze towards Yuan Feng was filled with world-shaking Killing Intent.

”Then let this True Monarch see how you will annihilate me!”

Words filled with boundless Killing Intent resounded through the Star Universe, a thousand times more ferocious than a mountain collapse or a tsunami.

The nine Immortal Swords trembled violently, their Qi mechanisms interlinked, their might overwhelming the ten directions of the cosmos, unleashing nine streaks of Sword Qi like Star Rivers.

Rumble!

The golden Sword Qi, like a Star River, swept across the Star Domain, shattering countless meteors. The monstrous Sword Intent condensed within it was indestructible and cut through everything.

A cloud-patterned golden-hooped rod appeared in Yuan Feng’s hand. The cloud patterns on both ends radiated dazzling light, as if containing two ancient Star Domains within them, crushing the Void Realm and unleashing monstrous Divine Might.

Boom!

Immediately after, the cloud-patterned golden-hooped rod was swung by Yuan Feng, like a celestial pillar supporting the Primordial Universe toppling, surging with Chaos Qi, shattering the nine Sword Qi Star Rivers.

In a thousandth of a second after the Sword Qi collapsed, the nine Immortal Swords merged into one, transforming into a peerlessly sharp Immortal Sword held in True Monarch Lu Ge’s hand.

”One sword rises over the vast expanse, severing the Eight Desolations Realm!”

True Monarch Lu Ge let out a long roar, two cold bolts of lightning shot from his eyes, and the thirteen Geng Jin Golden Natures within his body shone brilliantly, flowing with light more dazzling than the great sun.

Unparalleled terrifying might impacted the surrounding Star Domain, like a terrifying demon god awakening. Boundless, peerless sword light shattered the firmament, and supreme Sword Intent raged across the eight directions and six harmonies.

”Hmph!”

Yuan Feng exhaled a mouthful of turbid Qi. Three Golden Natures, infinitely thicker and more brilliant than Blood Essence Devouring Dao True Monarch’s Golden Nature, fully sublimated, causing his overall Aura to skyrocket like a rocket, terrifying beyond measure!

A newly advanced Golden Core True Monarch will manifest three Golden Natures within their body.

A Golden Core Middle Stage True Monarch needs to condense at least nine Golden Natures to achieve this.

And a Golden Core Late Stage True Monarch needs to condense twenty-seven Golden Natures.

A Golden Core Peak True Monarch needs to condense eighty-one Golden Natures.

This is also why True Monarch Lu Ge was no match for True Monarch Shuxuan at all, and was even severely injured and fell in Realm.

The gap between each minor Realm in the Golden Core Realm is terrifyingly large, and the gap only widens further along the path.

However, the Golden Natures condensed by each Golden Core True Monarch are not the same.

For example, the Peerless Battle Against Heaven Golden Nature condensed by Yuan Feng is far more refined and powerful than the Golden Nature condensed by Blood Essence Devouring Dao True Monarch.

Firstly, this is because Yuan Feng is extremely compatible with the Dou Zhan dao position, and his connection with the Dou Zhan dao position is incredibly clear.

Secondly, Yuan Feng’s Foundation is far superior to that of an ordinary Five Methods Purple Mansion. After breaking through to Golden Core, he is naturally not comparable to an ordinary Golden Core True Monarch.

And most importantly, Yuan Feng’s sensing was of the Dou Zhan dao position, which is far beyond what a primary or secondary dao position can compare to.

Therefore, the power that Yuan Feng’s three Golden Natures could unleash was even stronger than that of an ordinary Golden Core Middle Stage True Monarch.

”Battle Against Heaven!”

Golden divine flames ignited in Yuan Feng’s eyes. The Battle Against Heaven Strategy and Battle Body operated to their utmost, and his blazing blood Qi was even more vast than a Star River, engulfing this Star Domain.

Not only that, but the Frenzy Talent, as his Life-Bound Talent, underwent extraordinary changes after he achieved Golden Core.

When he activated the Frenzy Talent, his physical qualities still soared by a large margin, far surpassing the ordinary.

Boom!

Yuan Feng swung his golden fists, and vast Fist Intent filled the Star Universe. The entire Star Domain was covered, and the mere fist winds tore apart the distant asteroid belt.

Clang!

With a loud bang, the golden fists, heavy as the heavens, collided with the incoming golden sword light in an unparalleled impact.

This Star Domain trembled violently, as if thousands of suns had exploded simultaneously. The blazing, dazzling light dispelled the darkness of the Universe, visible even from a great distance.

Ghost Axe’s face showed shock, and he hurriedly moved away from the battlefield of Yuan Feng and True Monarch Lu Ge.

Although both were Golden Core Early Stage True Monarchs, Yuan Feng’s strength was far greater than he had imagined; there was no comparison between the two.

”Incredible, truly incredible.”

Ghost Axe exclaimed.

Rumble!

Another loud bang shook the firmament.

Yuan Feng’s Aura was monstrous, with three Golden Natures transforming into three great Dragons coiling around him, like an unparalleled war god appearing in the world, domineering and powerful.

He had no excessive Moves, his fists, more brilliant than the great sun, continuously swung, their power dominating heaven and earth, impacting the boundless Star Domain.

It was as if two golden Star Domains were pressing down, vast and boundless, causing the Star Universe to sway and the sun and moon to lose their light.

Terrifying Sword Intent bloomed, endless Sword Qi soared into the sky, and clanging sword cries resounded through the starry heavens, clashing with Yuan Feng’s incoming fists.

Clanging sounds echoed beneath the starry sky, traveling countless miles.

Near the battlefield, asteroid fields exploded one after another, turning into beautiful and dazzling fireworks displays.

Planets disintegrated in the Star Domain as if struck by a solar storm, their brilliance followed by eternal annihilation.

”Lu Ge, today, you will die!”

Yuan Feng roared, shattering the firmament. His fists, like Dragons, pierced through the heavens, causing the incoming Immortal Sword to tremble and wail continuously.

True Monarch Lu Ge’s tiger’s mouth split open, his sword-wielding right hand was covered in blood, and half of his body was almost shattered by Yuan Feng’s incomparably domineering fist power.

”If it weren’t for Shuxuan, with my Golden Core Late Stage cultivation, killing you would only take three swords!”

True Monarch Lu Ge stood beneath the starry sky, boundless geng metal qi, like a vast ocean, permeated his body, turning the ground he stood on into a battlefield filled with weapons.

”There are no ’ifs’ in this world!”

”Your Xuan Yuan Sect instigated the Great Calamity in Xuan Prefecture, harming hundreds of millions of Human Race lives. You deserve to die!”

”So Lu Ge, it’s time for you to face your tribulation!”

Yuan Feng’s tone was cold. Ocean-like blood Qi surged forth, overwhelming everything. He swung his fists, severing the ten directions of the heavens, peerless in his might!

Rumble!

True Monarch Lu Ge no longer spoke. Instead, he swept his sword across, engaging in the final confrontation with Yuan Feng.

One man and one ape clashed in this Star Domain, each strike using their full power, like two gods fighting. Divine Might shook the Star River, and the aftershocks shattered stars.

Boom!

Immortal Mountains and divine Peaks manifested, crushing the Universe Star River, then were shattered by a terrifying fist imprint, turning into countless specks of light.

The supreme true meaning of Through-Arm Mountain Shattering Fist was unleashed by Yuan Feng, a peerless strike. The entire Star Domain seemed to shatter under this punch, and the sun, moon, and stars seemed destined to perish!

Clang!

The Immortal Sword trembled, then its body showed dense cracks, and wailing sounds resounded throughout the area.

True Monarch Lu Ge’s sword-wielding right arm exploded, and his massive Dharma Idol crashed through countless meteors, blood flowing like a river, a truly miserable sight.

Yuan Feng strode forward, his Battle Intent and Killing Intent intertwined, soaring straight to the Nine Heavens.

He threw another punch, even more vast and domineering than before, as if carrying an entire Universe Star Domain to crash down.

Rumble!

It was like the creation of heaven and earth, Chaos Qi surged, then violently exploded, blazing light filling every inch of space.

True Monarch Lu Ge’s chest was pierced by a single punch, True Monarch blood splattered, dyeing the Star Domain red.

Yuan Feng’s expression was cold. He shook his right arm, and boundless fist power erupted, tearing True Monarch Lu Ge into pieces.

”Cough cough!”

”The victor is king, the loser is bandit. That’s all there is to it.”

”My only regret is that I didn’t eliminate you, this anomaly, when you hadn’t yet become powerful!”

True Monarch Lu Ge said this.

”Go face your tribulation!”

Yuan Feng was like a peerless divine demon, supreme Divine Might sweeping through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, causing this Star Domain to tremble.

Then, a fist imprint struck out, piercing through the Star Universe, killing True Monarch Lu Ge in this vast outer heaven.

A cracked Immortal Sword let out a wail, then disintegrated on its own, turning into hundreds of fragments that drifted away into the distance.

After True Monarch Lu Ge fell, some of the thirteen Golden Natures within him collapsed with his demise, leaving only seven.

Yuan Feng waved his large hand and collected these seven Golden Natures.

”After today, Fellow Daoist Dou Zhan’s reputation will probably spread throughout the entire Great Qi.”

Ghost Axe walked over, his words full of shock.

”Fellow Daoist Gui Fu flatters me.”

”This True Monarch still needs to destroy Xuan Yuan Sect. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?”

Yuan Feng said this, his Golden Core Dao Power surging, having already opened a spatial passage directly to the Luotian Realm.

”This old man has long found Xuan Yuan Sect an eyesore.”

Ghost Axe laughed heartily.

Luotian Realm, Great Qi Cultivation Kingdom, Xuan Prefecture, Xuan Yuan Sect’s location.

A golden great mountain, obscuring the firmament, manifested and fiercely struck Xuan Yuan Sect’s Mountain-Protecting Formation, causing the surrounding million-mile area of this Golden Core Upper Sect to crack and collapse.

”I am Dou Zhan. Xuan Yuan Sect instigated a great calamity, harming hundreds of millions of lives. Today, it shall be destroyed!”
