Chapter 1

　　Yao Wang City.

　　The array's light shield shone brightly, illuminating half the sky in a blood-red hue, with powerful energy fluctuations spreading mightily throughout the surrounding mountains and ancient city.

　　Zhang Ji sat cross-legged beside the grand array, using his spiritual connection to summon his true self to descend across realms.

　　"The teleportation array is activated. My true self, descend without worry!"

　　Zhang Ji summoned him again and again.

　　Beside him.

　　Ye Lin, like a petite woman, sat obediently at Zhang Ji's side, her face flushed with redness and adoration, her beautiful eyes carrying a trace of blissful light.

　　After these past few days of dual cultivation and pleasure, this Great Zhou's number one goddess was completely conquered by Zhang Ji. In the past, she only loved women, enjoying a hundred harmonies (lesbianism), but now she only loved Zhang Ji, her heart and eyes filled with him.

　　Not only did Zhang Ji help her break through to the realm she had dreamed of, but Zhang Ji's immense power also gave her a sense of security. For the first time, she felt less lonely and isolated in the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas.

　　"Ji-ge, what are we waiting for here?" Ye Lin asked softly.

　　She addressed Zhang Ji as Ji-ge (Brother Ji), which was a bit cheesy, but Zhang Ji enjoyed it immensely. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I am waiting for my true self to descend. I am merely an avatar."

　　Ye Lin was shocked to hear this. She had no idea that Zhang Ji was only an avatar.

　　An avatar's strength was already so terrifyingly powerful, so how strong would the real true self be?!

　　But suddenly, she remembered something and said in a panic, "Then, what will happen to you when your true self descends? Will you still exist?"

　　Zhang Ji pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I don't know. That depends on the true self's intentions. It is ten thousand times more brutal than I am, truly bloody and terrifying. I can still be considered human now, but the true self has long ceased to be human. All living beings are merely food in its eyes."

　　Ye Lin became uneasy, her heart in a state of chaos.

　　Zhang Ji comforted her with a smile, "But there's no need to worry. I have performed a great service for the true self. When the time comes, as long as I plead with it, it will probably spare this avatar."

　　Ye Lin nodded, her heart in turmoil.

　　"Rumble~"

　　The array's power was completely activated, the grand array's energy fluctuations surging in all directions, causing celestial phenomena and the flashing of wind and lightning.

　　Countless living beings looked towards Yao Wang City in terror and confusion, unsure of what was happening there.

　　Some old ancestors of ancient lands and holy grounds awakened once more, their weathered eyes gazing towards Yao Wang City, seeing the stone tablet standing within the blood-colored array, spatial power swirling upon it.

　　"This is a cross-realm summoning! A supreme expert intends to descend upon the Yunshan Realm!"

　　"Everyone, this is the root of the great calamity! The matter brooks no delay. We have observed for many days. By disrupting the array's transmission, we can resolve this calamity of the Yunshan Realm!"

　　"That is precisely my intention! Let us act!"

　　This was the telepathic exchange among the old ancestor giants of the ancient lands and holy grounds.

　　The next moment.

　　Enormous Dharma Aspect figures manifested in various places, towering and reaching tens of thousands of zhang in height, like ancient celestial gods resurrected, their imposing aura majestic as the heavens, their terrifying pressure causing the sky to flash with lightning and thunder.

　　"The old ancestors of the Heavenly God Realm are taking action! Heavens, I've lived for three thousand years, and this is the first time I've seen a Heavenly God Realm ancestor mobilize!"

　　"I saw the Zhou Emperor fight a Heavenly God Realm expert when I was a child. The Yunshan Realm almost shattered from the battle."

　　"This time, so many Heavenly God Realm ancestors are awakening simultaneously. Are they targeting that monster in Yao Wang City?"...Countless people in ancient cities and sects were discussing, their faces excited and thrilled.

　　Many people saw a Heavenly God Realm expert for the first time, their eyes filled with fervent admiration and awe. The Heavenly God Realm was the end of cultivation in the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas. Reaching this realm allowed one to recreate the power of ancient celestial gods, their divine might unmatched, incredibly terrifying.

　　Moreover, once one cultivated to the Heavenly God Realm, their lifespan would be one hundred thousand years. They were true giants, incomparably revered, free to roam the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas and the Origin Continent.

　　At this moment.

　　Dharma Aspects of the Heavenly God Realm manifested throughout the Yunshan Realm, a total of eight figures, their grand aura causing the entire sky to become hazy and blurred. They approached Yao Wang City from eight directions.

　　With the Heavenly God Realm experts mobilizing, the energy of the entire Yunshan Realm reversed, pouring into the eight figures. Some places even experienced an instantaneous depletion of energy, with mountains and vegetation withering, and rivers drying up.

　　People paled in fear, finally understanding why the Heavenly God Realm giants and old ancestors remained in slumber for so long. It wasn't that they were unwilling, but that each mobilization required too much energy.

　　The changes in the Yunshan Realm's phenomena and energy attracted the attention of the Heavenly God Realm experts in other realms of the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas.

　　In that instant,

　　An unknown number of slumbering giants awakened, all looking towards the Yunshan Realm, because they had long known that a great calamity was appearing in the Yunshan Realm, possibly sweeping across the entire Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas, so they were now very concerned.

　　"What demonic monster dares to run wild in our Yunshan Realm?!"

　　A Heavenly God Realm ancestor roared, his voice like thunder, echoing through the sky, his Dharma Aspect as tall as a divine mountain, pupils shooting out two meteor-like, blazing divine lights towards Yao Wang City.

　　He was the Heavenly God Realm ancestor of the Sun God Palace, his Dharma Aspect like a great sun, shining brightly.

　　Wherever his gaze fell, the void rumbled, this was the pressure of the Heavenly God Realm.

　　Beside the Yao Wang City array, Zhang Ji said to Ye Lin, "You must leave here quickly."

　　"What about you?" Ye Lin asked in alarm, glancing at the Dharma Aspects of the Heavenly God Realm ancestors in all directions. These auras were as terrifying as the Zhou Emperor's, causing her heart to tremble.

　　Even though she had advanced to the late stage of the Divine Power Realm, she still felt as insignificant as an ant at this moment.

　　Zhang Ji said calmly, "I must continue summoning my true self. As long as the true self descends, the crisis can be resolved!"

　　"Return to the Green Mountain Gate quickly. I will return after the true self descends."

　　Ye Lin reluctantly turned and fled. The surrounding Dharma Aspects of the Heavenly God Realm ancestors paid no attention. Although there was only one level difference between the Divine Power Realm and the Heavenly God Realm, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth, not to be mentioned in the same breath.

　　Their gazes were all locked on Zhang Ji.

　　"It seems you have seized and occupied this body. Speak, who are you? Where is your true self?"

　　A female Heavenly God Realm ancestor asked, her radiant eyes reflecting the cosmic galaxy.

　　She was the Heavenly God Realm giant ancestor of the Yueyao Ancient Land. She looked very young, like a twenty-year-old woman, with a bright moon suspended above her head, her Dharma Aspect shining with silver light, sacred and divine, her face as noble as a queen, attracting attention, but in reality, she had lived for tens of thousands of years.

　　Time had left no trace on her, allowing her to remain eternally youthful and beautiful.

　　She was the number one holy maiden of the Yunshan Realm tens of thousands of years ago, attracting countless talents and heroes to bow at her pomegranate skirt, but now those talents and heroes had all passed away, only she was still alive. She stared at Zhang Ji, the pressure and aura of the Heavenly God Realm locking him down, causing the void around Zhang Ji to become blurred.

　　Zhang Ji felt a sense of suffocation, his body unable to move as if trapped in mud, as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his head. But at this moment, a piece of snake scale on his chest emitted streaks of bloody light, instantly, this pressure and aura were wiped out, Zhang Ji returned to normal, gasping for breath.

　　"Hmm?! Is that something your true self gave you?!"

　　The female Heavenly God of Yueyao Ancient Land shouted sharply, with a wave of her hand, the snake scale on Zhang Ji's chest flew out and landed in her hand.

　　"Evil, ferocious, eerie, this is a type of energy I've never seen before. It's not magic power, nor spiritual energy!"

　　She muttered to herself, handing the snake scale to the other Heavenly God Realm ancestors for inspection.

　　"Amitabha, this is the energy of an ancient evil god. This poor monk's Demon Suppressing Pagoda contains the head of an evil god, the energy is exactly the same as this snake scale!"

　　From the west, an old monk with a Luohan Dharma Aspect spoke, revealing the secret of the snake scale's energy.

　　He was a Heavenly God of the Great Buddha Temple.

Chapter 2

　　Instantly, the Heavenly God Realm ancestors felt uneasy, their pupils shrinking.

　　Because they all remembered,

　　In the endless years before, the Origin Continent and the Nine Mountains and Eighteen Seas had suffered a world-destroying calamity, an evil god who had escaped from the Mountain and Sea Realm with serious injuries came here, stirring up a bloody storm.

　　In that battle, dozens of Heavenly God Realm ancestors fell, countless ancient lands perished, and in the end, the Martial Ancestor of the body cultivator family of the Origin Continent took action and suppressed that evil god.

　　However, with just that one battle, many ancient lands and holy lands declined.

　　The Martial Ancestor also fell gravely injured not long after, and that body cultivator family that had been glorious for several eras went into decline, its glory gone. Later, it encountered the Twelve God Kingdoms' chaos, and many body cultivator methods were lost. The body cultivator family was no longer as strong as it once was.

　　Now, the body cultivator family has retreated to the Origin Continent, and no experts have appeared for many years.

　　The Heavenly God Luohan of the Great Buddha Temple said, "That evil god cultivated a bizarre Undying Art. After the evil god was killed by the Martial Ancestor, in order to prevent it from reviving and being reborn, its body was scattered and suppressed in various parts of the universe."

　　"The Demon Suppressing Pagoda of our Great Buddha Temple suppresses the head of the evil god..." Speaking of this, the Heavenly God Luohan of the Great Buddha Temple seemed to be using his divine sense to investigate the Demon Suppressing Pagoda, and after a moment, he suddenly shook violently and exclaimed, "Not good, the evil god's head suppressed in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda is gone!"

　　"What?! How could this be?"

　　The female Heavenly God of Yueyao Ancient Land was shocked, and the Heavenly God of the Sun God Palace couldn't help but exclaim in anger. The other Heavenly God giants hurriedly investigated the remaining suppression sites of the evil god's corpse.

　　"The other parts of the evil god's corpse are still there, it seems only the head is missing."

　　The Heavenly God giants frowned secretly.

　　Especially the Heavenly God Luohan of the Great Buddha Temple, his face was unsightly, because the Buddha's power of Buddhism happened to restrain the energy of the evil god, so the most important head of the evil god was suppressed in the Demon Suppressing Pagoda of the Great Buddha Temple, but unexpectedly, the head of the evil god had disappeared.

　　And he himself, a Heavenly God Luohan, had not noticed it at all.

　　Some Heavenly Gods performed deductions on the spot, but found no clues.

　　Everyone looked at Zhang Ji beside the Yao Wang City array, their eyes becoming strange.

　　"Everyone, perhaps the evil god's head was obtained by his true self." The Heavenly God of the Sun God Palace said, pointing a finger, a ray of sun god light fell on Zhang Ji's body.

　　Zhang Ji was just an avatar, unable to resist at all, only feeling that his body seemed to be ignited, but in his dantian, a cyan and black aura of life and death suddenly flew out, forming a Taiji diagram shape rotating above his head.

　　The Heavenly God Luohan of the Great Buddha Temple was shocked to see this and said, "The evil god's Undying Art?!"

　　His eyes became cold and stern.

　　The other Heavenly God giants also had a strong surge of killing intent, they all recognized this as the cultivation method of the evil god, and they had wanted to obtain this amazing technique in the past, because it was a technique from the Mountain and Sea Realm, perhaps involving the secret of longevity.

　　The evil god was from the Mountain and Sea Realm.

　　Everyone even suspected that the reason why the evil god was chased and escaped from the Mountain and Sea Realm may have been because of this technique.

　　However, this technique had no incantations or mental formulas, only the origin could be taught, but how could the evil god teach them? That's why the great war of that year broke out.

　　The Martial Ancestor took action for this technique, but even if he suppressed and killed the evil god, dismembering the evil god's body, he did not obtain it, and in the end, he died from serious injuries.

　　These were all things of the past, secrets recorded in various ancient lands and holy lands, but today, this matter was brought up again, and the human who had been seized and reborn in front of them actually possessed the technique that the evil god had cultivated in the past.

　　"Hahaha, searching high and low with weary feet, only to find it easily obtained, Amitabha!"

　　The Heavenly God Luohan of the Great Buddha Temple laughed, the other Heavenly Gods also laughed, their eyes full of greedy and eager light as they looked at Zhang Ji.

　　The evil god was too strong, they could not strip away the origin of this technique, but the human in front of them only had the cultivation of the Divine Power Realm, wouldn't they be able to manipulate him as they pleased?!

　　"Shatter this teleportation array. No matter what kind of being his true self is, it will not be able to descend across realms in a short time. We have plenty of time to study this Undying Art!"

　　"That's right, the matter brooks no delay, let's act quickly!"

　　The eight Heavenly God Realm giants reached a consensus and slapped down at the same time.

　　"Boom~"

　　The entire Yao Wang City array was forcibly obliterated, and even Yao Wang City completely disappeared, the ground becoming a huge sinkhole canyon, emitting terrifying Heavenly God energy.

　　The stone tablet arranged by Zhang Ji was also shattered, and the teleportation energy instantly dissipated.

　　Seeing this, Zhang Ji forcibly stripped a trace of his spiritual power and injected it into the ground. He had already sensed that his true self had moved and was coming across realms. With the teleportation array gone, he would use his spiritual power as a guide for his true self to descend.

　　"Take him away!"

　　The Heavenly God giant of the Sun God Palace said, and the divine light swept up Zhang Ji and disappeared.

　　Yunshan Realm.

　　The various forces who had been observing Yao Wang City saw that the Heavenly Gods had quickly solved the trouble, and leveled the grand array, and cheered.

　　Those mountain gates that had been closed with protective arrays also announced their reopening.

　　In a mountain range.

　　Three figures converged, they were none other than Wu Daogu, Zhao Qishan, and the Silent Great Monk, the "Qingzhou Three Bandits."

　　"What do we do? Do we still need to rob? That monster was suppressed by the Heavenly God ancestors."

　　"Let's do one last job, this time it's to accumulate some natural treasures for ourselves. I feel like I'm about to break through." "I have the same intention, then okay, let's do one last big job, and then our Qingzhou Three Bandits will wash our hands of crime."

　　After discussing, the three went straight to a sect they had been eyeing for a long time.

　　Earth, Snake King City.

　　After seventeen years of development and change, Snake King City became more prosperous. In addition to the walking monsters on the streets, there were also many human figures, and Westerners were also active.

　　It became a global cultivation culture exchange center, and countless natural treasures and cultivation techniques gathered here.

　　And Zhang Ji's name as the Snake King spread throughout the earth, revered by countless people as the Snake God, and many mountains and safe zones also built Snake God Temples to enshrine Zhang Ji's statues.

　　Outside Snake King City, many mountains were leveled and built into new cities. These new cities were all modern skyscrapers, and people integrated modern technology with cultivation civilization.

　　The trendsetters were no longer young handsome men and so-called celebrity big shots, but powerful cultivators.

　　Everything seemed to be developing in a good direction.

　　Zhang Ji's three hundred descendants, after seventeen years of cultivation, became extraordinary and powerful, possessing Zhang Ji's ferocity and invincible posture.

　　The shackles of flesh and blood on their bodies were broken by Zhang Ji's help, and their strength obtained rapid progress. They hunted in various mountains on Earth, in the Atlantic, the Arctic, and the Antarctic, all had their figures.

　　"Dang..."

　　The bell rang from Snake King City.

　　In the square in front of the Snake King Palace, the guard captain ran to the main hall and bowed, "Reporting, Princess Bi Lian, the Heavenly Snake Tablet is moving!"

　　Whoosh~

　　A flash of white light, Bi Lian Snake Woman's figure already appeared in the square.

　　Her aura was grand and profound, the shackles of flesh and blood on her body were broken by Zhang Ji for her, and her strength began to recover continuously. Her entire aura was like a fairy, sacred and noble.

　　She looked at the Heavenly Snake Tablet in the square.

　　This stone tablet was activated by her father, Zhang Ji, seventeen years ago, and has stood here without any movement. After seventeen years, it actually emitted a hazy white light again, the light becoming more and more dazzling.

　　Moreover, a vortex passage began to appear on the stone tablet, flowing with the power of time and space.

　　"Someone has activated the Heavenly Snake Tablet!"

　　Bi Lian Snake Woman was excited and hurriedly turned to walk towards the back of the main hall. There, her father, Zhang Ji, was in seclusion. He had been in seclusion for seventeen years, with the Flesh Tai Sui, and had not come out to this day.
