呔！

A roar shattered the sky, exploding the clouds and causing the world to hum.

The roar was exceedingly fierce.

The chaotic battle about to erupt within the Ten Thousand Dharma Platform of West Mountain stalled for a moment.

Countless people looked up.

A streak of fire flashed, as if the sky had been dyed with blood. The firmament turned completely red, like a sea of fire burning and raging.

Whoosh~

The next instant, a furry palm suddenly emerged from the sea of fire.

With a casual flick, the sea of fire rolled backward, resembling a shooting star rushing upward, stretching out for thousands of feet, dragging flames and light.

Then, amidst the raging gales and air currents, a fire monkey, red as blood, leaped out!

It wore a phoenix-winged purple-gold crown, golden chain mail, and lotus-silk cloud-walking boots. It held a Daoist sword, its eyes flashing with extremely violent ferocity.

The fire and light that stretched for thousands of feet was actually its cloak!

"Xin Yuan..." (Mind Monkey)

An Qi Sheng's heart was clear, reflecting the true form of the Xin Yuan, with the other twenty-three illusory figures faintly visible.

He had walked for two years, traversing the states, collecting the lights of ten thousand homes, and comprehending the changes in people's hearts, finally achieving his heart-spirit!

The Southern Gate of Heaven shattered, and the heart-spirit transformed into a monkey and emerged!

The rumbling roar had not yet dissipated when the fire monkey Xin Yuan stepped out, stirring up a surging sea of air and fire. With an upward sweep of its sword, it pulled out a thousand-foot sword light like a waterfall flowing in reverse, horizontally slashing at the giant Buddha's descending sword dragon!

Boom!

The two swords clashed, but there was no sound of metal striking metal. Instead, a world-shattering sound erupted, like the explosion of mountains and the eruption of ancient stars at the end of their lives.

For a time, the world went silent. Many creatures between the mountains saw only darkness and lost their hearing, unable to hear any sound.

Even the Real Men, if caught off guard, had their eardrums shattered!

Above the firmament, the collision of the two sword lights was extremely dazzling. The void rolled like a violent sea, and it was no longer ripples spreading, but the void itself shattering inch by inch.

Above the numerous cities hundreds of miles away, cultivators looked over.

They saw an incomparably magnificent mushroom cloud rising into the sky, as if it had suddenly blown open the firmament and rushed toward the sea of stars.

The terror of its power made everyone's hair stand on end.

Crack!

The collision seemed to last only a moment.

The array covering the Ten Thousand Dharma Platform of West Mountain shattered with a rumble, and countless runes turned into wind and howled away.

Qingdu City, more than a hundred miles away, immediately changed color. The raging air currents and gales seemed about to blow away this ancient city!

"Yuanshen?!!!" (Nascent Soul)

With a single collision, Daoist Tianyi finally changed his expression:

"How is this possible?!"

From the fire monkey Xin Yuan, he felt a substantial and violent divine intent. This kind of divine intent was clearly at the level of Yuanshen!

But since the incident at Mount Taiji, he had deduced and calculated with his innate numerology thousands of times.

This white-robed Daoist was indeed powerful, comparable to a Transcending Tribulation Grand Real Man, but he had not yet undergone the tribulation. Even if he was now displaying power comparable to a Yuanshen, there was no pure Yang aura of having passed the Lightning Tribulation on his body.

Without undergoing the Lightning Tribulation, he could actually achieve Yuanshen?

"Nothing is impossible!"

An Qi Sheng's voice echoed through West Mountain, his eyes filled with indifference.

There are nine steps in the cultivation of the Huangtian Realm: nourishing Qi to receive the talisman, warming and nourishing to transform the Natal Treasure, entering the Dao to become Real, transcending the tribulation to transform the Yuanshen, and ascending to the Immortal Realm after ascension.

The achievement of Yuanshen inevitably requires undergoing the Four-Nine Lightning Tribulation. After Yuanshen, one must undergo the Six-Nine Lightning Tribulation, the Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation, and only then can one ascend.

However, the Dao he cultivated was not the Dao of the Huangtian Realm.

While the Dao is difficult to attain without external assistance, one cannot seek external assistance everywhere. The Huangtian Realm has tribulations, but Xuanxing has no such thing as Lightning Tribulation.

If one cannot progress without Lightning Tribulation, wouldn't he be unable to achieve Yuanshen in his entire life?

Roar~~~

Above the firmament, the sword dragon roared and exploded.

It was seen that the Xin Yuan wielded its sword, and as the world turned blood red, a mottled Dao Platform seemed to be derived, and a scarlet guillotine rose up, cutting through the ubiquitous air currents and sword light.

Severing the dragon-like sword light!

"Very good, very good."

Daoist Tianyi responded coldly. With a thought, the giant Buddha lowered its head indifferently, and the giant palm held in front of its chest fell:

"No matter what kind of ghosts or demons you are, all of you go to die!!!"

As the palm fell from the sky, boundless and vast air currents poured down, and the rampant heaven and earth essence Qi gathered in a rolling torrent.

It slammed towards the fire-like Xin Yuan.

A Yuanshen strike could already affect the celestial phenomena. As it slammed down, wind and thunder roared and lightning howled for hundreds of miles, as if the end of the world had arrived.

On the ground, a violent wind rose, and tornadoes rose from the ground, whistling back and forth, destroying mountains and splitting peaks, uprooting countless trees and plants.

Countless birds and beasts in the mountains trembled. Occasionally, small demons with budding intelligence let out bursts of wailing.

"呔!"

Amidst the boiling air currents and ripples, the Xin Yuan shattered the sword dragon with a single sword strike, and then let out another roar.

At the same time, the Daoist sword in its hand shook and transformed into a scarlet iron rod, which it raised in an instant, like a mountain rising from the ground.

With a single strike, it pushed aside ten thousand acres of smoke and dust, swept up a vast sea of fire, and struck the giant Buddha's shadow standing in the sea of clouds amidst the void's unbearable explosions and wails!

Wherever the rod's edge reached, layers of ripples spread, and at first glance, it seemed that the void was wrinkled, as if it was about to collapse.

The mountains thousands of feet below groaned, as if they were being oppressed by an invisible force and about to sink!

The battle between the many Real Men in the mountains had not yet begun but had already ended. Seeing smoke rising everywhere on the earth, they were horrified beyond words.

A single strike, and it was so terrifying!

"This kind of power..."

Daoist Tianji's eyes narrowed, and a sense of surprise and doubt arose in his heart.

This was not any power he recognized, but it erupted with a terrifying power comparable to that of a Yuanshen.

He pinched his fingers, his eyes filled with deep exploration.

He only felt that the red monkey was like a constantly erupting volcano, within which an indescribable and violent operation was taking place. It was this operation that could drive the explosion of such a terrifying level of power.

Boom!

Palm and rod collided.

In an instant, the air currents that surged above the firmament submerged everything.

Then, rushing upward, the wind and clouds within hundreds of miles were torn to shreds, and all celestial phenomena were torn apart by the brutal and terrifying collision.

Revealing the clear blue sky.

Boom!

Boom!

Amidst the loud sounds, the spiritual Qi and air currents between heaven and earth all boiled.

Whoosh~

A streak of fire, like a shooting star, also cut through the air currents and fell toward the Ten Thousand Dharma Platform, disappearing into An Qi Sheng's body.

Kaka Kaka~

In an instant, An Qi Sheng's body shook, emitting a groan of unbearable weight. The wild force poured out, and the altar beneath his feet instantly turned into powder.

"Not good!"

All the Real Men felt a jump in their hearts and flew away, scattering like a flock of birds.

The next moment, rolling giant forces spread out.

Only a shocking explosion was heard, and ripples spread like waves across the mountains and the earth. In an instant, trees and plants were broken, mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, and clouds of powdery sonic booms exploded continuously.

West Mountain instantly turned into ruins!

"Buddha Shadow..."

Only then did the many great monks of the Rulai Monastery look up, only to see a crack suddenly appearing in the towering Buddha shadow amidst the sea of clouds.

Then, the cracks spread like a spider web, and in an instant, it was like a piece of porcelain that had been broken and reassembled.

It looked shocking.

Even knowing that this Buddha statue was an external manifestation of Daoist Tianyi's Yuanshen, a trace of embarrassment arose in their hearts.

"Both sides are injured..."

Monk Ruyi flicked his fingers, allowing the ripples of air currents to envelop him. His expression did not change, but when he looked up at the broken Buddha shadow, his eyes flashed with light.

The Dharma Idol is an external manifestation of the Yuanshen, and the collision between the two is no different from a battle between real bodies.

With the Dharma Idol on the verge of shattering, its master was clearly severely injured as well.

"Ah!"

At the same time, Daoist Tianyi also let out a long howl containing pain.

Bang!

The Buddha shadow above the firmament collapsed, turning into thousands of scattered streamers.

After Daoist Tianyi let out a long howl, he inhaled, like a black hole, forcibly pulling back the exploding Buddha shadow streamers, while inhaling the boiling heaven and earth essence Qi within hundreds of miles.

Visibly, his body was emitting a brilliant light.

Streams of essence Qi were swallowed into his mouth, and streams of essence Qi spewed out from his body. At first glance, it seemed that every pore on his body was frantically spewing out surging true Qi!

The intake couldn't meet the output!

At this time, everyone watching felt an unspeakable touch in their hearts.

Daoist Tianyi had lost.

The Yuanshen is flawless and leak-proof. Once it can't be leak-proof, it is obviously severely injured!

Chī chī chī~~~

In the ruined West Mountain, a series of whistle sounds suddenly rang out beneath the dust and air currents.

Whoosh~

Daoist Tianji flicked his sleeve, and the dust above the mountains dissipated, revealing An Qi Sheng standing tall within.

At this time, An Qi Sheng was surrounded by lingering white mist, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

Only then did people see that the white mist was actually gushing out from countless pores on his body.

For a time, even from hundreds of feet away, many people could feel the heat wave on their faces, as if they were in a volcano.

"This person..."

The Real Men looked at the white-robed Daoist standing tall in the ruins, who seemed to have not lost a single strand of hair, with different expressions.

There was fear, there was fear, there was awe, there was killing intent... many emotions were mixed.

Whoosh!

An Qi Sheng, unconcerned by the many gazes, slowly exhaled a long breath.

The turbid Qi broke through the air like an arrow, and it was unknown how far it spread before it slowly dissipated.

His Qi Seed was formed by condensing his own magnetic field, interacting with and growing with the heaven and earth. After suffering a heavy blow, it could naturally release its force to the heaven and earth.

However, the collision between the two of them earlier made him unable to release the force to the heaven and earth.

He had endured this heavy blow head-on.

The scattered aftershocks destroyed the Ten Thousand Dharma Platform of West Mountain, but compared to the power he had endured, the aftershocks were nothing.

At this time, he seemed to be standing still.

In fact, the hundreds of billions of cells in his body, invisible to the naked eye, were constantly trembling and弹动着. It was he who had forcefully suppressed them with his powerful mental strength.

Otherwise, at the moment West Mountain was destroyed, he would have completely disintegrated.

Moreover, it was a disintegration at the cellular level!

But fortunately, he had endured it.

"Puff!"

The moment An Qi Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked over, Daoist Tianyi in the sky coughed out a mouthful of blood, no longer able to suppress the injuries in his body and unable to control the boiling and collapsing Yuanshen essence Qi.

His whole person was like a water bag that had been pierced, with blood lotuses blooming!
