"Venerable Realm Layer Four..."
"One arrow killed a half-step Dao Integration stage!!!"
"With Venerable Realm Layer Four cultivation, he possesses Imperial Dao combat power!"
Countless people were inwardly shocked, a tempest rising in their hearts, unable to find peace.
The mountain wind howled, and no one dared to speak aloud.
The three major forces were all silent.
After Chen Jiuyang shot and killed Chen Haofeng, he slowly retracted his aura, flowing like the wind, incredibly smooth.
In an instant, he appeared to be just an ordinary mortal once more.
But as he stood there, who wouldn't look at him with reverence?
Some people's minds began to stir. If Chen Jiuyang were to step into the Imperial Realm, he might even surpass Emperor Yan.
Chen Jiuyang was too young. If he were fully nurtured, his future would truly be limitless, unimaginable.
Alas...
The Five Great Sacred Lands had truly made a foolish move.
It was only now that the people of the Five Great Sacred Lands felt regret welling up within them.
But... they were not in control.
Chen Jiuyang, with a faint smile on his face, looked at the people of the Five Great Sacred Lands and asked, "Do the heretical paths have any further matters to attend to?"
As Chen Jiuyang's voice fell, on the demonic path side.
"Rumble!!!"
"Swish swish swish!!!"
Suddenly, every martial artist and cultivator erupted with monstrous demonic energy, the heavens and earth changed color, and ferocious killing intent boiled.
They only awaited Chen Jiuyang's command to unleash a great battle.
The faces of the Five Great Sacred Lands tightened. Facing threats from both within and without, this was not a good time to engage in war with the demonic path.
A purple-robed cultivator at the forefront spoke quietly, "Today concerns only the affairs of the Shu Mountain Chen family. We came merely to observe. With the current struggles between the nations, Sect Master Chen, we implore you to consider the greater picture."
As his voice fell, someone from the demonic path spoke.
"Ridiculous."
"How dare a mere heretical path dictate terms to our Holy Sect's Sect Master."
"At the root of it all, were these matters not instigated by your Five Great Heretical Paths?"
"Truly shameless, without any sense of decency!"
A group of demonic path cultivators immediately began to curse angrily.
The people of the Five Great Sacred Lands' faces turned ugly. Their killing intent surged similarly, but in the end, they did not initiate combat. Instead, they transformed into streams of light and flew towards the sky.
After the people of the Five Great Sacred Lands departed, only those from the demonic path and the Forbidden Family forces remained at the Wudang Mountain scene.
In the current Dragon Country, besides the righteous and demonic paths, the third major force was the Forbidden Families, which were connected to the Nine Great Forbidden Lands.
To be honest, Chen Jiuyang knew very little about the Forbidden Families. Most people didn't even know where the Forbidden Families originated from.
Families like the Shu Mountain Chen family, which had produced a Tribulation Transcending Great Immortal like the Pure Yang Evil Doctor, were referred to as Longevity Families.
Chen Jiuyang, who had always been unrelated to the Forbidden Families, did not know why the Forbidden Families had suddenly appeared.
Chen Jiuyang slowly looked towards the Forbidden Family faction and said calmly, "I heard that the Forbidden Families have a prodigy who wishes to challenge me. I am curious as to who it is."
A young man dressed in moon-white robes slowly stepped forward. His every movement exuded spiritual energy, his aura extraordinary, giving people a heart-stopping feeling.
"It is I." This young man was no ordinary being. Green light flickered in his pupils. He looked at Chen Jiuyang, "I have long heard of a peerless genius in the secular world. Seeing you today, you are indeed remarkable."
Chen Jiuyang smiled slightly and asked, "May I ask whom you heard this from?"
The young man calmly replied, "My sister, Ming Huatong."
Chen Jiuyang's expression froze.
The Saintess of the Lotus Sect, the disciple of that thousand-year-old, man-eating old hag, Ming Huatong.
She was actually from a Forbidden Family.
No wonder, before Xu Zao, he had heard that the man-eating old hag was connected to a forbidden land, rumored to be from the Immortal Remnant Clan Forbidden Land.
Now, with the appearance of this young man, this point was confirmed.
Chen Jiuyang then smiled and said, "To think you are the brother of an old acquaintance. May I ask your name, Brother Ming?"
"Ming Chengxian."
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly and said, "May I ask why Brother Ming has come to challenge me today?"
Ming Chengxian smiled and said,
"My sister is mischievous and has been bullied by Sect Master Chen a few times. She cannot swallow this insult. Coincidentally, I have awakened and emerged into the world, and I have no equal. She then incited me to spar with Sect Master Chen. On one hand, it is to test Sect Master Chen's strength, and on the other hand, it is to avenge my sister."
Chen Jiuyang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Individuals from forbidden lands could act freely in the secular world, provided their strength did not exceed the Dao Integration stage and the Venerable Realm.
With him having achieved his Dao, this Ming Chengxian still dared to challenge him, indicating his strength should not be weak.
At this moment, Qiu Yihan slowly flew over, appearing beside Chen Jiuyang. She whispered into his ear, "Husband, the Ming family is a prominent clan within the Immortal Remnant Clan Forbidden Land. Their status and position are no less than my Nine Capitals Han clan."
Status and position no less than the Nine Capitals Han clan meant that this Ming family had an ancestor who was alive and could be compared to Patriarch Qingjue.
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly and said, "Brother Ming, since we are old acquaintances, let us limit our exchange to three moves. This way, we will not damage our harmony."
"Agreed," Ming Chengxian said.
He was currently the Sect Master of the True Demon Sect and had some dealings with this Immortal Remnant Clan Forbidden Land. However, there were no grudges, so there was no need to offend the Immortal Remnant Clan Forbidden Land with heavy blows.
Chen Jiuyang said, "In that case, Brother Ming, please make the first move."
"Then I shall not be polite," Ming Chengxian's voice fell, and a heart-stopping aura erupted from him.
It was also martial arts.
Venerable Realm.
Then.
"Rumble!!!"
Strands of immortal light surged from Ming Chengxian's body, as if an immortal had descended.
"This is!!!"
"Nine Nether Divine Body!"
"The perfected Nine Nether Divine Body, divine ability manifestation, Turbid Immortal Descends!!!"
Old monsters on the demonic path side exclaimed in shock.
Nine Nether Divine Body, what is Nine Nether? Below the Nine Nether, it can reach the Immortal Realm or the netherworld.
It is a special physique no less than the Pure Yang Divine Body.
Turbid Immortal Descends is the divine ability manifestation of the divine body, akin to Chen Jiuyang's Pure Yang Sacred Fire after his Pure Yang Divine Body was perfected.
Of course, Chen Jiuyang was now the Qianyang Dao Body, and his divine ability manifestation was the Breaking Illusion Sacred Fire.
Chen Jiuyang smiled faintly.
This Ming Chengxian's first move was to compete with divine abilities.
It just so happened that after his physical body evolved into the Qianyang Dao Body, he had not yet unleashed the Breaking Illusion Sacred Fire.
Tendrils of immortal energy surged towards Chen Jiuyang, this immortal energy was terrifying to the extreme, capable of severing the void, and nothing could block it.
"Hiss!!!"
Chen Jiuyang's hair stood on end, and his clothes rustled.
Then, pure, extreme illusory flames emerged from his body, enveloping him.
Just now, he himself had spoken that he was a special divine body, the Pure Yang Body.
Therefore, Ming Chengxian chose to use his divine ability manifestation for the first move.
As the Breaking Illusion Sacred Fire appeared, the void around Chen Jiuyang was scorched.
"Sizzle sizzle!!!"
Invisible impurities were burned away, emitting sizzling sounds.
Moving a step further, these flames seemed to burn the void, and space was faintly distorted, showing signs of collapse.
After all, Chen Jiuyang was also a perfected Qianyang Dao Body! Not inferior to any special divine body!
