Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"To cripple three commanders with just one move is terrifying."

"This method is far too ruthless."

"A merciful general cannot command an army. Commander Ye dared to challenge him, and after losing, he blamed the other party for using excessive force?"

"With such terrifying spiritual cultivation, who said he was only able to kill a fifth-tier alien race by relying on the Sunlit Immortal Sword?"

At this moment, the Xuan Army soldiers exclaimed and discussed in surprise.

No one expected that Zhou Ling's single strike would leave the three late-stage Nascent Soul commanders utterly defenseless.

The combat power is so terrifying.

"Zhou Zhishou, this was just a challenge. Why go to such extremes next time?"

Looking at the three people completely crippled on the competition stage, Gu Zhantian said to Zhou Ling with a livid expression.

The Breaking Star Camp has six battle battalions and six commanders, four of whom are cultivators from the Purple Cloud Sect.

That's enough to cripple three of them.

How could he not be furious?

"Commander Gu, are you saying you want to challenge me!"

Zhou Ling raised an eyebrow and looked at Gu Zhantian, speaking calmly.

Now that he had already taken action to establish his authority, he naturally didn't mind crippling Gu Zhantian as well.

This will save a lot of trouble for the Star Legion in the future.

With the Sunlit Immortal Sword and the Golden Eye, if Gu Zhantian dares to accept the challenge, he'll cripple him.

Anyway, they came up with this challenge themselves.

If you're ruined, you can't blame yourself.

If Gu Zhantian still doesn't dare to accept the challenge, it will greatly affect his prestige in the Breaking Star Camp.

Originally, the conflict was not obvious, and no matter how Zhou Ling provoked him, he could remain calm and collected.

But now, three of his capable subordinates have been crippled by Zhou Ling right before everyone's eyes.

Zhou Ling was directly slapping him in the face.

If Zhou Ling continues to press him relentlessly and he remains unmoved, his prestige within the Broken Star Camp will be greatly diminished.

After all, the Xuanjun Division relied on force to subdue the people, and he didn't even dare to take action when his subordinates were crippled.

Who would dare to follow him after this?

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Gu Zhantian to see his reaction.

Gu Zhantian's eyes flashed, and he was extremely wary of Zhou Ling's Sun Immortal Sword.

But now all the cultivators in the Broken Star Camp are watching him, so avoiding battle is no longer an option.

Originally, they planned to diminish Zhou Ling's prestige by having Ye Hu and others lose face.

It will be easier to deal with him from now on.

Instead of Ye Hu and the other two, Zhou Ling became the target of his authority.

Moreover, this young man was ruthless; he crippled all three of them with a single move.

Now he had no choice but to take action, and then smiled and said, "Since Chief Zhou has such an interest, then I will accompany you in a match."

Then, with a swift movement, he transformed into a streak of light and landed on the competition platform.

The other two presidents also looked grave upon seeing this.

Everyone knows that Zhou Ling is making a big splash as soon as he takes office.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling, who had always been humble, was so ruthless.

Three commanders were rendered ineffective at once.

This made them realize that something was wrong.

Each of the three leaders is capable of handling tasks independently.

Anyone who kills them will definitely become a wanted criminal within the Dao Alliance.

But to be rendered useless in this competition is rather humiliating.

Moreover, it had already been stated that the Dao Alliance Law Division would not do anything to Zhou Ling.

Now that Gu Zhantian is about to make a move again, the situation is getting a bit complicated.

It seems neither side wants to wait any longer.

The three commanders on the competition platform were carried off the platform.

"Zhou Zhishou, please give me your guidance."

Gu Zhantian cupped his hands in greeting to Zhou Ling.

"Easy to say."

With a thought, Zhou Ling unleashed a burst of golden light before him, and the Sunlit Immortal Sword roared out, hovering in the air.

It exudes a captivating golden sword aura.

During this time, I have been thinking about how to get rid of Gu Zhantian and other Zixiao Sect cultivators.

To avoid being caught off guard when dealing with matters in the Xuanjun Division in the future.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came on my very first day in office.

Even if Gu Zhantian is killed in this way, the head of the Xuan Army will probably cause trouble for me.

But this could solve a big problem later.

It would also allow for a smoother takeover of the Star Breaker Camp, which is entirely worthwhile.

As for any problems, you can't blame yourself.

After all, he didn't propose this challenge himself.

Looking at the Sunlit Immortal Sword, Gu Zhantian's eyes twitched, and a look of extreme apprehension flashed in them.

Its ability to kill a fifth-tier alien race demonstrates its terrifying power.

Who will win this time?

"Commander Gu is at the second level of the Nascent Soul stage, and he is also a lightning attribute cultivator, unlike the other three commanders."

"Zhou Zhishou has even released the Sun-Shining Immortal Sword; it seems he's serious about this."

"I heard that Zhou Zhishou is also the sect leader of Lingxiao Sect, and he has never gotten along with Zixiao Sect."

"Commander Gu and Commander Ye are both cultivators from the Zixiao Sect."

"No wonder they challenged Zhou Zhishou like this."

The Xuanjia Army cultivators were also whispering among themselves.

"Then don't blame this old man!"

Gu Zhantian smiled coldly, his body crackling with magical power, and thunder roared.

Thunder rumbled across the sky.

Out of fear of the Sunlit Immortal Sword, he directly unleashed his Thunder Domain, hoping to suppress Zhou Ling from activating the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

Although breaking ties with Zhou Ling was not what he wanted.

After all, in this situation, the connections he had cultivated over the years in the Xuanjun Division would be of little use.

But isn't this also an opportunity to get rid of Zhou Ling?

If Zhou Ling can be crippled, it will also solve a major problem.

Not only could he become the leader, but he might even become the sect master of the Zixiao Sect in the future.

So he held nothing back.

It doesn't matter if we can't use the Xuanjun Division's connections; the key is to cripple Zhou Ling.

"Boom!"

Endless thunder roared, and Zhou Ling felt as if he had entered the heavenly tribulation thunderclouds.

There was no sign of Gu Zhantian on the other side either.

They knew that this was Gu Zhantian using his own lightning magic domain.

[Your true battle against the Purple Heaven Thunder Domain grants you +1 to Five Elements Thunder Qi and +4 to Purple Heaven Rules.]

[Your actual battle against the Purple Heaven Thunder Domain grants Thunder Amplification +1 and Purple Heaven Rules +2.]

"This guy's Purple Heaven Thunder Technique Domain seems to be even stronger than when I last encountered Liu Zhengjia."

Zhou Ling scanned it with his divine sense.

But that makes sense, considering he wasn't at his peak when he faced Liu Zhengjia.

The lightning attack, launched at the same time, was also greatly suppressed by the Fiery Mist Storm.

It only exerted about 30% or 40% of its power.

However, with the aid of his own lightning talent, he was not afraid of such lightning attacks.

"Zhou Zhishou has just entered the Nascent Soul realm. Let's see if he can withstand the power of my Thunder Domain."

A voice, accompanied by the roar of thunder, sounded as if the might of heavenly tribulation lightning was being unleashed, its power extremely terrifying.

Hovering in the air, Gu Zhantian looked much more relaxed.

There is a huge difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Deity Transformation stage. The quality of their magical power and divine soul are different, and the power of rules integrated into them is also very different.

The resulting supernatural powers and domain strength are vastly different.

His lightning domain, once unleashed, would surely be enough to suppress Zhou Ling. He wouldn't give Zhou Ling a chance, and would use the spiritual flames to unleash the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

"Boom!"

Zhou Ling was in the Thunder Domain, and bolts of lightning from all directions roared toward him like thunder dragons.

At the same time, a dharma image of the Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor appeared in the sky.

It exudes an astonishing divine power.

As the Dharma Image condensed, the giant palm of the Dharma Image struck down towards him like a purple thunder mountain.

A deafening roar of thunder erupted, as if an endless army of thunder dragons were pressing down upon them.

Zhou Ling's gaze sharpened, and the Five Elements Bright Sun Sword Heart surged within his body.

The magic power was rapidly poured into the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

Instantly, the golden sword light of the Sunlit Immortal Sword burst forth.

"boom!"

Immediately, a hundred-foot-long golden giant sword materialized and fiercely slashed towards the purple thunder mountain.

The purple thunder palm clashed fiercely with the golden sword sun, producing a deafening roar.

Thunder and sword energy roared and swept across, bombarding each other for several breaths before dissipating.

"He was actually able to use the Sunlit Immortal Sword to block Commander Gu's lightning domain attack."

"This is the combat power capable of killing a fifth-tier alien race."

"It's terrifying that a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stage can actually unleash such powerful combat strength."

"This is the fifth level of sword cultivation, which makes up for the lack of magical power cultivation."

Below the arena, the cultivators of the Xuanjun Division were all horrified by what they saw.

This will truly demonstrate Zhou Ling's strength.

Under the suppression of the Ancient Battle Heaven Thunder Domain, it was not at a disadvantage at all.

"You can actually activate the Sunlit Immortal Sword using your own magical power?"

Gu Zhantian, who was fully activating his Thunder Domain, was startled and said in a deep voice, "But I'd like to see how long you can maintain this level of power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Thunder Emperor's Form instantly grew larger, reaching forty or fifty feet. An even more terrifying giant thunder palm swept across the sky and crashed down on Zhou Ling.

Within the Thunder Domain, terrifying thunderous pressure bombarded Zhou Ling from all directions.

It seemed as if it was about to shatter Zhou Ling's physical body.

However, the damage caused by this thunderous pressure to Zhou Ling was far less severe than Gu Zhantian had thought.

[Your true battle against the Purple Heaven Thunder Domain grants you +1 to Five Elements Thunder Qi and +4 to Purple Heaven Rules.]

[Your actual battle against the Purple Heaven Thunder Domain grants Thunder Amplification +1 and Purple Heaven Rules +2.]

Zhou Ling is least afraid of the oppressive force of thunder.

As the lightning nascent soul within his body flickered, a burst of lightning roared out.

A thunderous imperial image, twenty or thirty feet long, materialized.

Although it is significantly weaker than Gu Zhantian's Thunder Emperor.

But its surface was crackling with golden-purple lightning.

All the incoming lightning bolts were easily blocked.

At the same time, the Thunder Emperor's golden-purple thunderous palm slammed out, although it was much smaller than the purple palm.

But the golden-purple lightning flashed, making the oppressive aura even more terrifying.

The surrounding lightning domain was instantly shattered.

"You actually comprehended such a powerful lightning rule!"

Looking at Zhou Ling's Purple Emperor Form, Gu Zhantian's eyes flashed with disbelief.

The Purple Emperor is named after gold and purple, and the gold and purple lightning signifies that he has mastered the most powerful lightning rules.

The Purple Cloud Emperor Manifestation he cultivated came from the lineage of Ancestor Liu and was already the purest technique of the Purple Cloud Sect.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling not only comprehended the Five Realms of Sword Dao and mastered the Sun Immortal Sword, but also comprehended the purest Thunder Rules.

No wonder the Liu family was determined to destroy him.

With such terrifying strength, how terrifying would his combat power be once he reached the Nascent Soul stage?
Thinking this, Gu Zhantian was even more terrified.

They have now completely confronted Zhou Ling.

We absolutely cannot let Zhou Ling get away unscathed again, otherwise I'll be in big trouble later.

No matter what, the only option now is to kill Zhou Ling with all our might.

We will consider how to respond to the situation later.

Zhou Ling condensed the Purple Heaven Emperor's Image, looking completely calm and collected.

The greater the power of the opponent's lightning domain, the more lightning rules one can absorb, and the faster one's strength will increase.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry to break through the opponent's lightning domain.

He planned to slowly wear down his opponent, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow.

After all, he didn't want to miss this opportunity either.

They were able to eliminate Gu Zhantian, in addition to the three commanders from before.

In the future, other cultivators from the Zixiao Sect will not be able to cause any trouble in the Poxing Camp.

"Boom!"

The purple lightning giant palm and the golden sun giant sword clashed violently, unleashing a deafening roar.

After a short while, the three of them collapsed and dispersed.

"Purple Heavenly Emperor Dragon!"

Seeing that Zhou Ling had actually blocked the Emperor's Domain attack twice, Gu Zhantian roared and unleashed a surge of lightning power.

Purple lightning shot into the sky from the Purple Heaven Emperor's countenance.

A purple lightning dragon, hundreds of feet in size, materialized and blasted towards Zhou Ling with a power that shook the heavens and earth.

Zhou Ling's expression changed upon witnessing this scene, but he remained fearless. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he knew that he could not delay any longer.

Five different spiritual flames instantly condensed in front of him.

He wasn't going to hold back anymore; he would just cripple Gu Zhantian.

"Five fifth-tier spiritual flames?"

Gu Zhantian's eyes widened, his face filled with horror.

The original intention was to use the Thunder Domain to suppress Zhou Ling, preventing him from unleashing the Spirit Flame and integrating it into the Sun Immortal Sword.

It now appears that the domain's suppressive effect on Zhou Ling is almost zero.

This was something he could hardly imagine.

After all, the domain of a Nascent Soul cultivator is generated by the fusion of their own rules and the rules of heaven and earth.

Within his domain, he could dominate everything.

However, Zhou Ling seemed to be unaffected by any suppression within the Thunder Domain.

Could it be that my Thunder Rules have no effect on him?
Gu Zhantian was extremely frustrated.

But there's no time to worry about that now; all we can do is hope that this Thunder Emperor Dragon Divine Power can destroy Zhou Ling.

"Commander Gu, then let's test the power of the Sunlit Immortal Sword!"

Zhou Ling pursed his lips, and five streams of spiritual flames poured into the Sunlit Immortal Sword.

Instantly, five-colored sword energy roared up, like five sword dragons encircling the Sun Immortal Sword.

They quickly merged, instantly condensing into a hundred-foot-long Five Elements Sword Yang, which blasted towards the Thunder Emperor Dragon.

"boom!"

The two sides instantly clashed fiercely.

Terrifying thunder roared and surged, and the void on the arena twisted and vibrated.

Thunder and sword energy soared into the sky, and the entire Thunder Domain was constantly flashing as it was stirred by the Five Elements Giant Sword.

Half a breath later, Lei Dilong was defeated, and the Thunder Domain disappeared without a trace amidst a deafening explosion.

Two more figures appeared on the competition stage.

At that moment, the entire arena was blasted into a huge crater.

Gu Zhantian's body swayed violently, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

His face was deathly pale; his domain had been broken, and he was already seriously injured.

But what horrified him even more was that a golden yang sword aura entered his body, severing his meridians one after another.

It was clear that Zhou Ling was trying to cripple him.

He was doing his best to suppress the golden yang sword energy.

I never expected Zhou Ling's combat strength to be so terrifying.

But there's no going back now.

Only by controlling this sword energy could he save his life. (End of Chapter)
