In the mountain ravines outside the Dragon Valley Small World, Feng Zaixing sat cross-legged on a stone pier, his eyes half-closed. The gentle luster flowing in his pupils was the purest mental force, concealing his figure.
In an instant, his brows arched. Seeing this, Gu Yue asked, "What's wrong?"
Feng Zaixing spoke in a calm and steady voice, "To Breakthrough to the Divine Origin Realm, one needs to settle their mind and organize their abilities. This step cannot be forced; it must happen naturally when the time is right."
Gu Yue tilted her head upon hearing this, her eyes filled with confusion as if floating question marks. She asked doubtfully, "Does it need to be that troublesome?"
Feng Zaixing glanced at her and secretly shook his head, saying, "It is necessary. This step is the divide between man and god. With my current foundation, I could charge through the barrier at any time, but a rushed Breakthrough is not what I desire."
"The process for an ordinary Titled Douluo to break through to Super Douluo and achieve the Limit is to form a complete system of everything they have learned. For me, it isn't that troublesome, but it is still indispensable."
Gu Yue gave an "oh," smacked her lips, and muttered softly, "Human cultivation is so troublesome. It's much simpler for someone like me. What a pity, what a pity, I just can't understand the pain of your cultivation."
The Silver Dragon King did not need bitter cultivation or meditation; she only needed to unseal her power step by step to return to her Peak.
Feng Zaixing was choked by her words. His eyelids lowered as he said gloomily, "Student Gu Yue, are you trying to challenge your President? I can accept at any time."
"No need for now." Space rippled beneath Gu Yue's feet as she retreated three hundred meters away. From afar, she said, "I'm going back to help my teacher fight for power. You take care of yourself!"
She thought to herself: Once this King liberates more of my cultivation, I will definitely beat you until you kneel and beg for mercy.
"Want to run? Since when has my speed been questioned?"
Flame-like Holy-Evil spirit power erupted from Feng Zaixing's body. He pointed his index finger forward, and Gu Yue, who was speeding through the air, was blocked by a Holy-Evil Dao Diagram descending from the sky, sending her flying back from the collision.
Gu Yue suddenly looked back to see Feng Zaixing's figure, as upright as a sturdy pine, already behind her. His fair, slender palm was set in a simple punch stance.
"Last time you also absorbed a portion of the Golden Dragon King's essence. You wouldn't have stayed stagnant, would you?" Feng Zaixing asked with a carefree smile.
Gu Yue's heart tightened, but then a flying, arrogant smile appeared on her face. Her eyes turned into vertical pupils as her majesty erupted.
"Of course not!"
spirit power nearing the seventh ring erupted like a volcano. Three black and three red—six extraordinary spirit rings floated and shined around her slender, perfect body.
With a grab into the void, her jade hand condensed the seven elements into a colorful staff. Gu Yue said with some regret, "It's a pity the silver dragon spear was given to that idiot. Otherwise, you wouldn't have a great chance of winning right now."
"Even if you had the silver dragon spear, you still wouldn't be my match."
Feng Zaixing remained calm and indifferent. His mental force drew in the materialized elements of light, darkness, and fire. He stomped heavily, carving out a separate space between heaven and earth, manifesting his own Domain.
Holy Light flames burned the sky; the heavens were in his grasp.
Nether evil fire scorched the earth; a nether realm of death.
"Heaven and Earth divide, Holy and Nether become one; the Yellow Sky and Thick Earth, all shall be used by me."
Stepping into his newly fused Domain, Feng Zaixing's body rumbled with the sounds of dragons and tigers. The phantom of the Golden Dragon King appeared behind him. With every step and roar, he was like a God King who had descended while suppressing his cultivation.
Gu Yue's pupils shrank. She waved her staff, and a storm of seven elements bombarded Feng Zaixing wildly.
But it was meaningless.
The seven-element storm collapsed in large swathes the moment it rushed into the Holy Nether World. Even though Gu Yue condensed seven-element spears to pierce through the spatial field, they shattered with a bang before they could get within ten zhang of Feng Zaixing.
"Whoosh!"
Thousands of strands of light and dark elements concentrated at his fingertip. Feng Zaixing's body shot forward, appearing in an instant as he brushed past Gu Yue.
He withdrew his fingertip, and a drop of blood fell. A small cut appeared on Gu Yue's long, flawless neck.
"You—" Gu Yue pressed her fingers to heal the wound on her neck, her eyes wide and round.
"How was it? I didn't let you down, did I?"
Feng Zaixing withdrew all his Aura as if nothing had happened.
Gu Yue was exasperated and shouted, "You certainly acted impressive! This King has remembered this. Don't you dare give this King a chance to surpass you!"
Feng Zaixing smiled faintly. "In my life, I have only ever had others chasing me; I have never been surpassed by my peers. Although strictly speaking, you aren't my peer, if you really can do it, I would be gratified."
Gu Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Are you calling me old? Didn't you call Naer 'Junior Sister' very affectionately?"
Feng Zaixing thought about it seriously and asked, "Does your Spirit Beast race automatically reset your age to zero and start over after transforming?"
"Naturally! This King is currently only Sixteen Years Old." Gu Yue firmly believed she was a young dragon.
"In terms of maturity, it really is about the same," Feng Zaixing muttered secretly in his heart.
Gu Yue's senses were sharp. Her clever brain detected his dismissive attitude, making her very angry for a moment.
With a flip of her delicate hand, she took out a Silver Dragon scale. Just as she was about to say something more to defend her status, she suddenly noticed the dragon scale glowing, and her eyes lit up.
"The fish has taken the bait?" Gu Yue said joyfully.
Feng Zaixing saw the spatial fluctuations rising from the dragon scale. Recalling various pieces of intelligence, he immediately asked, "The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
"Yes."
Gu Yue agreed with a smile and shouted in all directions, "Di Tian, mission time! Take out the Tang Sect's Limit Douluo!"
"Yes, Lord!"
The void distorted as Di Tian led the five great Vicious Beasts out in a grand manner. Each was rubbing their hands together, excitement dancing in their eyes.
Feng Zaixing had always liked to join in on the fun. How could he let this opportunity pass? He immediately showed a faint smile. "Personally, I am very good at cleaning up the corpses of terrorists."
Di Tian glanced at Feng Zaixing and snorted lightly. "Be more polite to our Lord from now on. Don't think that just because you helped us take out so many humans, we will be grateful to you."
Shrek and the Tang Sect were being dealt with one after another, and the Spirit Pagoda was undergoing a major shuffle. Among the four major powers, only Feng Zaixing's War God Hall had not suffered a disaster. In Di Tian's view, it was only a matter of time.
Once they wiped out the annoying Holy Spirit Cult and the Lord recovered her strength, wouldn't they be able to do whatever they wanted then?
Feng Zaixing chuckled and replied, "In the Douluo plane, strength is respected. I might not be able to shake your Dragon God Claw, but it would also be extremely difficult for you to do anything to me. I still have that much confidence."
Gu Yue's strength was increasing rapidly, but when had he, Feng Zaixing, ever been slow? He still hadn't finished refining Halossa's foundation. The legacy of this Peak Quasi-God and former son of the plane could be called a massive gift package.
"Hmph."
Di Tian snorted and turned his head away, but he did not deny it.
In the battle just now, the combat power Feng Zaixing displayed was already not below that of Huo Yuhao before his Ascension. Furthermore, he possessed many treasures. Even though Di Tian had made considerable progress over these ten thousand years, he had no absolute certainty of victory.
Gu Yue was very calm now. She pinched the Silver Dragon scale and opened an ultra-long-distance spatial transfer.
A halo swallowed the eight of them. It was silent, as if they had never appeared there.
"Brother Luo, my Tang Sect has guarded the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for ten thousand years, yet you actually return kindness with enmity!"
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Zang Xin held the Sentimental Sword and fought against the dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, cursing Qi Luo Tulip in exasperation.
Qi Luo Tulip crossed his arms and said indifferently, "Enough nonsense. The Tang Sect claims to be guardians, but in reality, you have never given up on plundering the resources here. We have wanted to revolt for a long time."
Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass stood nearby, cheering them on: "That's right, Amorous Douluo! Since you came today, don't even think about leaving. Stay here forever!"
As he spoke, he released the powerful strength of a plant Vicious Beast, manipulating the ultimate cold Qi of the Yin Cold Spring to sweep toward...
...the Seven Great Heavenly Kings of Monster Academy who had followed Zang Xin.
"Bastard!"
Long Yue cursed. Seven black spirit rings drifted. Having put on his Two-Word Battle Armor, his Aura was not inferior to an ordinary Titled Douluo, but at this moment, he was shivering from the cold.
In any other place, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass would have found it difficult to suppress him, but the field bonus of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was too great.
"If I had known, I would have invited Holy Dragon Douluo to come along."
Tiger King Dai Yueyan, Shadow King Teng Teng, Pagoda King Ye Zhi, and the others all attacked, feeling both shocked and regretful.
Qi Luo Tulip caught sight of Ye Zhi and immediately diverted a burst of energy to knock her unconscious.
"A Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda dares to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? Do you want to eat me?"
Qi Luo Tulip had a very fiery temper. Spirit Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were entities he had long requested the Tang Sect to put on the blacklist. Zang Xin bringing Ye Zhi in was simply harboring ill intentions toward him!
Zang Xin, who was fighting fiercely high in the sky, saw this scene and said angrily, "Qi Luo Tulip, you guys have gone too far!"
"Do you really think these two dragon souls can keep me here? As long as I return and invite another Four-Word Battle Armor Master, I can completely destroy them!"
"In the past, my Tang Sect was lax in managing you. From now on, we will bring this place under our total control!"
Scanning the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Zang Xin's heart was bleeding. Of the six great plant Vicious Beasts, only two were left. No matter how well the other plants grew, what use was it?
Qi Luo Tulip only sneered without saying a word.
In the next moment, an ear-splitting booming sound suddenly rang out, laced with the Qi of metal and iron: "But you are destined to die here, so how are you going to get out?"
The air abruptly distorted, and the most robust Bear Lord was the first to emerge.
With palms overlapping, he started with the Sky-Tearing Claw!
"What?" Caught off guard, Zang Xin's body was pulled toward him. He used the Sentimental Sword to block in mid-air, but his body was sent flying back like a broken kite, spitting out two mouthfuls of blood.
The Ten Thousand Demons King and Scarlet King appeared on Zang Xin's flanks. One wood and one fire attack were launched together, their rampaging spirit power breaking through the "Sentimental Since Ancient Times Leaves Only Regret" Domain.
Zi Ji appeared, her Hell Demon Dragon King talent manifesting as she crossed the void through a dark swamp. Zang Xin's body could not stop falling, and he immediately burned his battle armor.
"A deathbed struggle."
Di Tian looked down from above, his black dragon claws shining with cold light. With the power to crush a great mountain, he struck from top to bottom. The brilliant helmet of the four-word battle armor bore the brunt of the attack!
The black dragon air currents surged. Following a series of crisp cracks, Zang Xin's head bled, and his deep gaze quickly dimmed.
"Zang Xin, I'll see you off on your final journey."
Feng Zaixing arrived through the air, his hands forming the Sea Overturning Divine Fist seal. He threw thirteen consecutive punches, striking Zang Xin horizontally.
The Sentimental Sword shattered into light amidst the clattering collisions. Zang Xin let out a few screams and was sent flying out of the valley, his red blood splashing across the sky.
Zhao Song, the head of the Tang Sect's Power Hall, had no idea what had happened. He opened his eyes only to see his Sect Leader flying toward him, and he caught him in his arms.
"Sect Leader, what happened to you? Who beat you like this?"
Zhao Song was pale with fright. Zang Xin's skin was cold, his muscles and bones were completely shattered, and his life Origin was severed. He only had one last breath left!
"Whoosh~"
The six great Vicious Beasts and Gu Yue immediately moved out. Feng Zaixing walked over with large strides from a distance.
At this moment, Zang Xin was breathing more out than in. His Spirit and battle armor were both destroyed, and his life Aura was rapidly fading.
He kept his eyes open, forcing himself to look at Feng Zaixing's face, his expression one of despair.
"It's you. You certainly moved fast."
"Indeed."
Feng Zaixing said calmly, "One man's hero is another man's enemy. Aside from dealing in arms, you were a decent person. But unfortunately, the Tang Sect is an organization I must destroy."
"There are very few things in this World that I fear; the Spirit Fusion Skill between you and Cao Dezhi was one of them. So now, you can say your last words."
Zang Xin's lips twitched: "Long live... the Tang Sect."
"Good!"
Feng Zaixing's body shot forward, striking out with a palm as Holy-Evil energy surged.
"Boom!"
The aftershock sent Zhao Song flying. Zang Xin gave a muffled groan, and his body along with the shattered battle armor were quickly vaporized. Every trace was powerfully melted away.
Several Spirit Bones fell down, signifying that their owner had completely disappeared from this World.
The Vice Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, Vice Master of the Douluo Hall, the Amorous Douluo Zang Xin—fallen!
