High in the sky.

A Tai Chi Diagram suddenly materialized, its immense light cascading in all directions!

Immediately after.

A voice boomed from high above.

"You said you were going to annihilate my entire Dragon Tiger Mountain?!"

As the voice fell silent.

ZING!

The piercing ring of a sword suddenly echoed out!

Within the Tai Chi Diagram, the line separating yin and yang abruptly transformed into a heaven-shaking sword that descended from the sky, slashing violently toward Zhao Rulong!

It was like a great sun appearing in the sky, its Divine Light illuminating the nine heavens!

Inch by inch, the void itself began to tremble!

"Hmm?!"

Zhao Rulong snapped his head up just in time to see a sword as brilliant as a shooting star slashing down at him!

The blade left a trail of resplendent wings of light.

It seemed to contain all living things, the transformations of Heaven and Earth, and a majesty as brilliant as celestial might!

Facing this sword, he was suddenly struck by a sense of inadequacy, the feeling that he was utterly outmatched!

He had experienced this feeling once before!

It was when he faced His Majesty the Divine Emperor!

Their domineering auras, which looked down upon the world, were exactly the same!

Staring at the incoming Divine Sword!

Zhao Rulong began to tremble uncontrollably. Forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, he roared:

"You dare compare yourself to the Divine Emperor? Die!"

ROAR!

A dragon-like roar erupted from his mouth!

The next instant.

His body seemed to transform into that of a dragon. A dragon claw tore through the air to meet the Divine Sword slashing down at him!

CLANG!

A vast Celestial Sound reverberated violently.

However, it was completely contained within the Tai Chi Diagram, not spreading out in the slightest!

Even the immense, powerful ripples that were stirred up were completely nullified by the Tai Chi Diagram.

BOOM!

Only the people inside the Tai Chi Diagram felt a vast Celestial Sound echoing around them!

Then.

They watched as Zhao Rulong, who had been so arrogant just a moment ago, had his dragon claw torn apart, spraying a massive amount of blood.

Immediately after.

The Divine Sword surged like the Milky Way, carrying a brilliant bolt of energy as it slammed into Zhao Rulong’s body, pinning him firmly to the ground!

"Aargh!"

Zhao Rulong shrieked, wanting to struggle, but he discovered his Great Daoist Nascent Soul had been pinned, and he couldn’t circulate any of his Magical Power!

A figure descended from the sky and landed beside Zhao Rulong, looking down on him condescendingly, as if observing an ant.

"Damn you! Damn you! If you dare kill me, His Majesty the Divine Emperor will not spare you! Wang Chongyang, the destruction of your Dragon Tiger Mountain is imminent! Imminent!"

Zhao Rulong bellowed.

He had been cultivating for several millennia, and his path had always been smooth. When had he ever suffered such a humiliating defeat?!

The others looked at Wang Xiao, their eyes filled with utter shock.

’Master Wang is even stronger than he was eight years ago!’

Zen Master Kong Ming marveled to himself.

If he had been able to cross swords with Wang Xiao eight years ago,

then now, he would likely be defeated within a few moves.

The immense might emanating from the Divine Sword just now had far surpassed the Dao Realm!

If not for the fact that Wang Xiao still emanated the aura of the Dao Realm, he would have suspected that Wang Xiao had already broken through to a new Realm!

The pupils of Zhuge Yuntao, the Supervisor of the Observatory, and Zhan Wushuang, the Marshal of the Celestial Patrol Army, also constricted.

They had, of course, heard of this Master Wang’s reputation.

He had broken through to the Dao Realm in less than a century.

His Talent and aptitude were rarely seen in all of history.

But hadn’t it only been eight years since this Master Wang broke through to the Dao Realm?!

How could this Master Wang be so powerful?!

To pin a long-famous Dao Realm expert with a single sword strike?!

Ji Chuchu and the other Cultivators from Dragon Tiger Mountain, however, couldn’t help but feel their spirits lift. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

In recent years.

They had never seen Wang Xiao take action.

They never expected that Wang Xiao’s strength had already reached such a level.

They were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

After all.

The stronger Wang Xiao was, the greater their chances of Dragon Tiger Mountain surviving the upcoming great calamity of Heaven and Earth!

Wang Xiao looked at Zhao Rulong, a trace of pity in his eyes.

"A Dao Realm expert propped up by Incense power is truly just a frog in a well!"

As his voice fell.

Three Inches of the Human World appeared in his hand. Surging Samadhi True Flame blasted toward Zhao Rulong’s Great Daoist Nascent Soul.

Before killing Zhao Rulong, he naturally had to first strip out the thoughts of the Tier Seven Life within his Great Daoist Nascent Soul and refine them.

For the past eight years, he had been doing this almost constantly.

He hadn’t refined any of the Dao Realm experts from the Great Hao Divine Dynasty.

But as for the other Dao Realm experts, aside from the missing Fuzi, he had refined nearly all of them!

After refining the thoughts of Tier Seven Life forms, his Great Daoist Nascent Soul had grown at a speed visible to the naked eye!

His strength was already infinitely close to the Ninth Limit Breaking!

The reason he hadn’t broken through was not that his Great Daoist Nascent Soul wasn’t strong enough, but that his physical body was shackled!

Once he broke through this shackle, he would be able to instantly achieve the Ninth Limit Breaking!

After some exploration and research, Wang Xiao had given the Ninth Limit Breaking a name: Heaven and Earth!

An expert at this Realm would have their body’s genetics completely altered, allowing the Five Elements within them to cycle at will.

With a single thought, they could make their body grow larger or smaller!

To break through to this Realm, one’s physical body needed to be nourished by a vast amount of energy.

Unless he could devour a Celestial Demon, or perhaps consume all the living beings in this world, it would be impossible to get that much nourishment!

Just as Wang Xiao was tempering Zhao Rulong’s Great Daoist Nascent Soul.

THUMP-THUMP-THUMP!

A terrifying fluctuation suddenly pulsed from within Zhao Rulong’s body.

The next moment.

RUMBLE!

Zhao Rulong’s Great Daoist Nascent Soul burst forth with a brilliant golden radiance, and torrents of Imperial Dragon Qi suddenly raged outward!

A terrifying sound wave issued from Zhao Rulong’s mouth.

"You dare touch Our man?!"
