The big spear pierced through the sky, splitting the Divine Kingdom in two.
Stars fell from the high heavens, and countless demons watched in horror.
"The Divine Kingdom has collapsed..."
"No, this is impossible, the divine beings cannot fall."
The Monarch of Silent Annihilation was the pillar of the Divine Kingdom; his fall ant countless demons would be buried with him.
Those demigods were utterly terrified, each trying to flee the Divine Kingdom.
The Dragon King and the senior brother surrounded them, easily slaying the demigods.
Lu Chenzhou, using Return to Tai Chi, turned these demigods into opportunities of the Great Dao.
Rumbling! The Great Wilderness shook, countless mountain peaks and massive stones crashed down, rivers hung suspended.
The Silent Annihilation Divine Kingdom shattered, becoming part of the Great Wilderness’s landscape.
Perhaps, thousands of years later, if there is still civilization, the myths and legends of this "forbidden zone" would be passed down from generation to generation.
Here, once, mortals slew the divine, and the spear cleaved the Divine Kingdom.
"The Monarch of Silent Annihilation is dead; yet another True God has fallen," the senior brother sighed emotionally.
Among the stars, only 34 main gods remained, not counting the subordinate gods.
The subordinate gods aren’t necessary to include because they are vassals of the main gods; kill the main god, and they naturally die.
"Alliance Hierarch Lu, are you okay?" Hei Zhou asked.
"I’m fine, let’s go back first, rest for a while, and continue," Lu Chenzhou said.
It took five years to slay the Monarch of Silent Annihilation, and the ti left for him was running short.
Lu Chenzhou looked into the distance, feeling nurous angry gazes fixing upon him.
He flipped the bird, turned around, and left.
...
"Silent Annihilation just died like that." As a lower True God, Lady Hua found it sowhat unbelievable.
Her power was on par with the Monarch of Silent Annihilation.
Lu Chenzhou completely had the ability to kill her, and she couldn’t escape.
The gods achieved eternal life through the Divine Kingdom but were also trapped by it.
Run away as a monk might, the temple could not be ignored.
A despairing aura perated, among the 34 main gods, lower True Gods occupied half.
These gods could all potentially beco Lu Chenzhou’s next prey.
Even mid-rank True Gods felt unsettled.
The power Lu Chenzhou exhibited was already enough to threaten them.
Currently, only upper True Gods and top-tier True Gods could surely defeat him.
But Lu Chenzhou’s growth was too defiant of the natural order; even as strong as the Blood God, deep-seated apprehension and fear inevitably arose.
At this mont, all the Evil Gods finally understood why the Witch was always troubled and anxious.
Lu Chenzhou’s growth had beco unstoppable.
Even if they successfully erged, it might require a hard battle to win.
Among the 34 True Gods present, it’s unknown how many have already fallen.
"Alas..." The Witch closed his eyes, returned to the high tower, tightly clutching the staff.
...
Lu Chenzhou returned to Xia Star, where the high-level mbers of the Mystic Sky Alliance ca to greet him.
"Succeeded?" the Eternal Immortal asked.
"The Monarch of Silent Annihilation is dead, killed alone by the Hierarch," the Dragon King laughed.
Everyone was stunned for a mont, then they clenched their fists, cheering excitedly and jubilantly.
This ant that the human world now truly had the combat power of a True God, and even if all the gods appeared, they could hold their own.
Everyone had hope for salvation.
"This great calamity is soon to end," the Priest said.
"Unfortunately, nearly all of the Three Thousand Worlds have fallen; we’ve done our best," Emperor Shitian sighed.
Over the past five years, the gods have resorted to all costs, sending demigods and demon saints to invade the Three Thousand Worlds to force Lu Chenzhou to retreat.
The Mystic Sky Alliance suffered defeat after defeat, ultimately having to defend only Tianxia, and even the Mystic Sky Realm temporarily fell.
Except for the Xia Realm, there was no intact place left in the Great Universe, with billions of beings dead.
"After the catastrophe, everything will improve," Kunxu said.
In fact, the Great Universe being able to endure until now was already the best result.
If it weren’t for Lu Chenzhou, the Three Thousand Worlds would have fallen when the demigods first erged.
Lu Chenzhou waved his hand, and four strands of Primordial Qi flew out, landing before Eternal Immortal, the Priest, Emperor Shitian, and the Star-devouring Sword Demon.
"You are all at Third Step Cultivation; this is the highest-level Great Power opportunity, it should be helpful in striving for Breakthrough Nine before the ultimate battle."
"This, this is too precious," the Sword Demon gazed passionately at the Great Dao opportunity before him, hesitating to take it yet eager to do so.
"Rest assured, I have mastered the thod to mass-produce Great Dao opportunities," Lu Chenzhou smiled.
For him, the Dao Essence provided by demigods was good but of limited use.
He could hunt True Gods and directly refine the True God’s Divine Format was better.
The demigods in the Forbidden Zone were enough to allow civilization to birth a batch of Great Power in a short ti.
In ancient tis, the scarcity of Great Power was largely due to the lack of Great Dao opportunities.
It often took a thousand, ten thousand years for a chance to appear, and when it did, nurous people would scramble for it.
It was equivalent to lining up for promotion to Great Power.
Now, as long as there are demigods, there is no shortage of Great Dao opportunities.
"I won’t be polite, thank the Hierarch," the Priest took the Great Dao opportunity and said with a smile.
"I knew back then that making Chenzhou the head of Tianxia was the right choice," Emperor Shitian also smiled.
"Us old folks are also basking in Chenzhou’s glow," the Eternal Immortal said.
Compared to the Dragon King, his potential faltered a bit after the Eight Realms, and he was even a bit inferior to the Priest.
Under normal circumstances, hoping to beco a Great Power might still be possible, but it would take a long ti.
By then, the yellow chrysanthemums would have cooled.
Now, he too could make a dash before the final battle.
There was also a top-level demigod opportunity that Lu Chenzhou gave to the Yaochi Immortal.
After receiving it, the Yaochi Immortal was overjoyed, feeling a bit embarrassed, she said, "With my talent, I might be wasting this thing."
She was only at the Second Step Cultivation, far from reaching Great Power.
"Giving it to the Eternal Immortal and them is for the greater good, but giving it to you is my heart’s desire,
this thing is a priceless treasure, if it weren’t for the needs of war, I’d be reluctant to part with it," Lu Chenzhou smiled and said.
"Thank you," the Yaochi Immortal said, and then went into seclusion to comprehend it.
"Dad, what good thing did you give mom?" Lu Qianfan ca over and asked curiously.
"You kid finally beca a Martial Arts Grandmaster, not bad," Lu Chenzhou patted Lu Qianfan on the shoulder and said.
Though you’re still a bit behind Lu Xiaolan.
Lu Xiaolan’s progression was astonishing, possibly able to break his Breakthrough Seven record.
Blue Mountain was incredibly strong in life, nearly approaching the Four Emperors, reincarnated with Dao understanding and mories, a complete descent level assault.
So surpassing him is normal, but after the Seventh Realm, Lu Xiaolan might not compare to him.
Lu Chenzhou’s quickest progress ca after the Heavenly Realm’s accumulation and breakthrough.
"No matter how I train, I’m always overshadowed by Sister Lan, but one day, I’ll surpass Sister Lan." Lu Qianfan felt a bit indignant inside.
His dad was the world’s number one strong man, yet as Lu Chenzhou’s son, he couldn’t beco the world’s number one genius.
He ended up as a perennial second, all because of Sister Lan.
"Surpassing yourself is enough, continuously improving is Martial Arts, being too fixated on rankings is unnecessary," Lu Chenzhou said.
"Dad, I have a query about this ’All Things Divine Skill’, can you look at where the problem is?"
Lu Qianfan seized the rare mont when Lu Chenzhou had ti, wanting his father to teach him so moves.
He knew there were even greater challenges awaiting his father.
...
Lu Chenzhou returned to Yun ng City with the Yaochi Immortal and Lu Qianfan, living together with his sect for a month.
During this ti, aside from spending ti with the Yaochi Immortal, he taught Lu Qianfan so moves, living a very peaceful life.
The news of him slaying the Monarch of Silent Annihilation had already spread throughout the Tianxia Civilization.
It beca a popular topic over tea and als, it was all about this battle.
Having consecutively slain two True Gods, Lu Chenzhou had beco the Ocean Stabilizing Needle in the eyes of the masses.
After a short break, Lu Chenzhou went to the Zouyu Water Mansion.
"Hahaha, the Monarch of Silent Annihilation deserved his end," the Innate Water Spirit laughed, "He was one of the Evil Gods who devoured the Candle Dragon God."
"Candle Dragon God..." Lu Chenzhou took out two beads, already polished to a glossy shine.
"These... these are the Candle Dragon’s Eyes. Where did you find them in Silent Annihilation?" the Innate Water Spirit asked.
"I sensed a dense Dao Essence of Ti on them, so I guessed it was related to the Candle Dragon," Lu Chenzhou replied.
Among the Gods of the Divine Court, the one who wielded Ti was the Candle Dragon, who solely controlled a complete dao, extrely potent.
"See if you can refine this item, your strength will transform if you master the Dao of Ti," the Water Spirit sighed.
"Okay, next I plan to move against Lady Hua and Mo Tianzhu," Lu Chenzhou said.
"Sure, those two have comparable strength to the Monarch of Silent Annihilation, one dominates the Color Realm, the other the Filth, neither good at frontal battles, but Lady Hua’s Dao of Lust demands high Heart Realm, be careful not to fall to her dao and beco her thrall."
"I’ll be careful."
Lu Chenzhou’s aim in dealing with Lady Hua was to warm up for subduing the Three Demons.
The strongest among the Three Demons was the Greedy Demon, the master of Lust.
This ti, he’d be facing the real forms of the Three Demons, unlike last ti.
"By the way, do you have a Divine Rank over there? I can make you a Divine Power Incarnation," the Water Spirit asked.
"No need, the Divine Power Incarnation I made before, I never used," Lu Chenzhou said.
The Water Spirit’s eyes widened, "You defeated the Monarch of Silent Annihilation without relying on a True Divine Artifact?"
He suddenly felt the future filled with hope.
Lu Chenzhou’s strength far exceeded his expectations.
...
Back in his internal world, Lu Chenzhou imdiately began seclusion.
He took out two items: the Silent Annihilation Divine Format, and the Candle Dragon’s Eyes.
"First, refine the Candle Dragon’s Eyes."
He spread his palms flat, the five centers facing the sky, and the Candle Dragon’s Eyes floated, the Power of Ti Dao rippling out in circles.
In his mind, the Martial Arts Tree began to slowly absorb.
Simultaneously, Lu Chenzhou noticed with surprise that a line of text on the Martial Arts Tree was flickering uncertainly.
{Ti Dao: ???}
"This was the great dao I acquired after inadvertently stepping into the Candle Dragon relic after leaving the Zouyu Water Mansion."
Back then, the level of this dao was a question mark, Lu Chenzhou couldn’t figure it out, so he didn’t pay much mind.
Now, with the refining of the Candle Dragon’s Eyes, the Ti Dao began to transform.
The question mark slowly faded, and faintly, an intention erged in Lu Chenzhou’s mind.
"Would you like to ascend to beco the Ti Dao Lord?"
At the sa ti, an enormously magnificent structure far surpassing the Poisonous Dao Palace erged from the great dao,
the sight astonishing, with a faint Candle Dragon phantom coiling around.
