It can only be said that the forbidden ground is worthy of being a forbidden ground.
The first appearance of the Immortal-Leaving Clan's forbidden ground in the eyes of the world was the fully formed Nine Nether Divine Body.
Turbid immortal light charged towards Chen Jiuyang, aiming to pierce through everything.
Both stood still.
"Rumble!!!"
The immortal light came into contact with Chen Jiuyang's Breaking Illusion Sacred Fire, immediately emitting earth-shattering explosions, causing the void and space to tremble.
Then, Chen Jiuyang's Breaking Illusion Sacred Fire formed a lotus flower, beginning to burn, devour, and purify Ming Chengxian's turbid immortal light.
"Hmm?"
Ming Chengxian's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stopped his innate divine ability's phenomenon.
Immediately, his figure streaked forward, crossing a thousand meters in a single step, appearing before Chen Jiuyang. His large hand pressed down towards Chen Jiuyang.
In an instant, a mountain-like pressure surged towards Chen Jiuyang. Ming Chengxian's large hand seemed like mountains and earth, with phantom images appearing.
This time, it was Chen Jiuyang's pupils that contracted sharply, and he blurted out, "The Heaven-Overturning Seal of the Qi Tian Sect!!!"
He had seen Qi Degui perform this divine ability outside the first city of the Human King's Path in the Lesser Immortal Realm before, and it had left an impression on him.
He had not expected that in the mortal world, Ming Chengxian would also know this move.
However, he quickly calmed down. As the Sect Master of the True Demon Sect, he had teleportation arrays to reach the Lesser Immortal Realm, so it was not impossible for Ming Chengxian to have means to reach it as well.
This was quite interesting.
Ming Chengxian's expression shifted slightly, surprised that Chen Jiuyang recognized his divine ability.
"Swish!"
In an instant, Chen Jiuyang raised one hand and slowly said, "The Yuan Dao Loose Hand technique, Heaven-Covering Gate."
A vast, sky-obscuring hand suddenly appeared and clashed with the Heaven-Overturning Seal.
"Bang—"
There was no terrifying air explosion, nor the grand momentum one might imagine.
Only the ground trembled, and the mountain range a thousand meters away suddenly collapsed, turning into countless rocks.
This scene caused the expressions of the Demonic Path and the Forbidden Families to change drastically.
Wudang Mountain itself was fine, but the two moves clashed, and the mountain range a thousand meters away collapsed. What kind of power was this?
Was it caused by Chen Jiuyang, or by Ming Chengxian?
Chen Jiuyang had abandoned all his previous moves and divine abilities, deciding to walk the path of warfare. However, he had only entered this path for a short time and had not yet comprehended his own techniques. He could only unleash a few loose hand techniques based on his innate strength.
The killing power of the Four Symbols of Heavenly Will was too great, and Chen Jiuyang had not fully controlled it.
Ming Chengxian's expression could no longer remain calm as he said, "As expected of a peerless prodigy who overshadows his generation. However, even a temporarily conceived, incomplete loose hand technique can contend with the Heaven-Overturning Seal."
Chen Jiuyang slowly replied, "Brother Ming is too kind. I am merely taking advantage of my higher cultivation. The Qi Tian Sect's supreme skill, the Heaven-Overturning Seal, is not that simple."
"Both moves were initiated by Brother Ming. This last move shall be from me, how about it?"
"Sect Master Chen, please make your move." Ming Chengxian's eyes showed a solemn expression.
"This move is called—"
"Shattering Kunlun!!!"
In his calm words, a trace of Chen Jiuyang's killing intent was carried. Fire and blue intertwined on his body, a combination of the divine abilities Zhu Rong and Chi You. Daoist principles and rhymes erupted from him, with endless flowing light. The ordinary-looking Yan Sheng Blade was drawn from his hand and then slashed towards Ming Chengxian.
Ming Chengxian's expression changed drastically: "This is the origin and law of Metal!!!"
A power that truly seemed to cleave all things suddenly struck towards Ming Chengxian, sharp and domineering to the extreme!
"Nine Nether Phoenix Ridge Shield!!!"
A dark, turbid phoenix shield immediately appeared.
Ming Chengxian could not directly confront Chen Jiuyang's blade.
Chen Jiuyang already possessed the origin and law of Fire.
Moreover, with his divine body fully formed, he had actually mastered the origin and law of Metal, which directly shocked Ming Chengxian into a full defensive stance!
However, to everyone's surprise...
After Chen Jiuyang swung his blade halfway, the technique disintegrated, becoming violent.
"Rumble!!!"
The terrifying power contained within it immediately shot towards the sky, tearing a gaping, heart-stopping chasm in the clouds above.
Chen Jiuyang's expression froze, then he slowly retracted his blade and said with a smile, "I've made a fool of myself in front of Brother Ming; I couldn't execute this move."
As he said before, Chen Jiuyang had entered the Dao for too short a time and needed accumulation.
Ming Chengxian's expression shifted. After a long while, he couldn't help but cup his fists and bow, saying, "Your reputation is well-deserved; Sect Master Chen is indeed a peerless prodigy who overshadows his generation."
"I concede, Brother Ming," Chen Jiuyang said with a smile.
"I believe I will see Sect Master Chen's brilliance on the Human King's Path."
Before leaving, Ming Chengxian left these words.
Chen Jiuyang smiled but did not reply.
Afterward, the people from the Forbidden Families departed.
The few moves Chen Jiuyang made today allowed the three major power factions to understand his situation.
He was at the fourth level of the Venerable Realm, had not entered the Emperor Dao, but had already attained the Dao, with astonishing combat power, capable of killing a half-step Dao Integration expert in one move.
Furthermore, what was most daunting was that after mastering the origin and law of Fire, Chen Jiuyang had actually grasped a bit of the origin and law of Metal.
If he continued like this, Chen Jiuyang's promotion to the Emperor Realm would be unimaginably terrifying. Within the same cultivation level, who could resist him?
After Chen Jiuyang advanced to the Emperor Dao, he would undoubtedly be more powerful and formidable than Emperor Yan.
After the people from the Forbidden Families left, only the people from the Six Sects of the Demonic Path remained at the scene.
Chen Jiuyang wore a faint smile and said, "Disperse, everyone. I came out this time merely to travel with my wife and do not wish to be disturbed further."
Saying this, Chen Jiuyang said to his few confidantes, "I have gained a lot at Wudang Mountain, so I will not cause them any more trouble. It is time to leave."
"Yes, Husband (Chen Lang) (Hubby)."
Chen Jiuyang, with his three women, floated away, continuing his journey northward, leaving the people of the Six Sects of the Demonic Path looking at each other.
For a time, they did not know how to handle the situation.
"We respectfully obey the Sect Master's divine decree."
" diligently carry out the tasks issued by the Sect Master, and purge those within the sect who are disobedient."
"I'm afraid this is their last chance. If the Sect Master takes another step forward..."
"Heh heh, they probably won't have any way to survive."
"Let's give them one last ultimatum."
"Otherwise, the Sect Master won't even need to use sacred artifacts to annihilate them."
Some people within the True Demon Sect had different thoughts.
"Although the Sect Master's temper has become more restrained, he has become more terrifying than before. We must also work diligently."
...
As for the other five sects of the Demonic Path, their emotions became even more complex after witnessing Chen Jiuyang's actions today.
If Chen Jiuyang's subjugation of the Origin and Truth Demon Sects was considered bullying the Sect Masters who had disappeared, taking advantage of the situation.
And the Joyful Union Sect was all women, so it was understandable that they couldn't defeat Chen Jiuyang.
They felt that Chen Jiuyang's rise was unstoppable.
They had been 100% confident in obstructing Chen Jiuyang's success in the Saint Dao contention.
But now, it was uncertain.
