On the Avenue.

Chapter 633 Senior Brother
Having been in the Immortal Realm for so long, this was the first time Chen Shi had ever witnessed a true deity unleash their true power, and he was deeply awestruck by the power of the gods.

Around that deity, ribbons of blue incense smoke formed, their width astonishing, no less impressive than the halos surrounding the stars nearby!

He not only possesses the divine power formed by incense offerings, but also has the support of stellar power and Taoist energy brought by the stars.

“My godmother said there are three kinds of gods in this world. The first kind is gods who become gods through incense offerings, the second kind is gods of the Great Dao, and the third kind is divine star lords. This god possesses all three kinds of power at the same time, so he must be a god who was conferred a title after the war to destroy the Shang Dynasty. Such a god, who became gods through incense offerings and was also conferred the title of star lord, has gradually come to comprehend the Great Dao contained within the star lords.”

Just as Chen Shi was thinking this, he saw that around the deity's waist were floating divine cities, each containing tens of thousands of fierce gods, all clad in armor, looking ferocious and menacing. Their cultivation was also quite remarkable, and their divine power was immense, but they were far from reaching the level of a Great Dao God.

The strength of these evil spirits is similar to that of the gods of Xiniu New Continent. Even if they are slightly stronger, it is still limited, comparable to cultivators in the Mahayana or Tribulation Transcending Realms.

Among them are leaders and divine generals, whose cultivation is quite powerful, comparable to celestial immortals or even true immortals.

But what attracted Chen Shi's attention the most was that these evil spirits' magical treasures were extremely peculiar, often carrying an unusually strong evil aura and containing Daoist power!

If such treasures were to fall into the mortal realm, each one would likely cause demonic transformations or create a realm of ghosts and gods.

"This treasure must have been forged from star power."

Chen Shi's gaze fell on the deity, and he thought to himself, "The malevolent aura of these magical treasures is far less than that of this celestial being."

The deity raised his hand and gently pushed aside the stars blocking his way. His gaze swept over them, and his voice boomed like thunder: "I am Marshal Yin Jiao, the God of the Grand Duke of Jupiter. Which one of you on this star raft is Chen Shi?"

Before anyone else on the ship could answer, Chen Shi had already come to the bow, bowed respectfully, and said loudly, "Marshal Yin, I am Chen Shi. Back in Xiniu New Continent, I was ordered by the Goddess Houtu to revive Marshal Yin's avatar."

Yin Suijun stared at him, his voice booming: "Xiniu New Continent? Houtu Niangniang? I don't remember. There are so many worlds in the Three Realms, and you think you can get closer to me with an unknown little world? What a fool's dream! Chen Shi, you have committed countless evils, stealing the earthly treasures and spiritual roots of immortals, and killing so many immortals. Even my disciples from Peach Blossom Grotto have fallen victim to your cruelty. Today, I am here on my master's orders to capture you and bring you to justice!"

Chen Shi's heart sank.

In the Xuanhuang Sea of ​​the Earthly Immortal Realm, there are countless worlds. People in these worlds all worship Tai Sui. The incense and divine power accumulated in just one world over 300,000 years are comparable to those of a true immortal!

Moreover, this Lord Yin Sui has accumulated not only incense offerings over 300,000 years, but also Dao power and star power.

If Yin Suijun were to capture him, he would have no choice but to surrender.

These ancient gods possess unfathomable strength, far beyond the reach of immortals like him!
Jiang came to his side, a ten-thousand-mile-long Dao Realm appearing behind his head, attempting to protect Chen Shi. But in front of Yin Suijun, the ten-thousand-mile-long Dao Realm seemed as insignificant as a leaf floating in front of Suijun.

Although Chen Shi knew that the gods of the Heavenly Court were incredibly powerful, he never imagined they were this powerful!
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, he's here to see me."

Chen Shi grabbed Jiang Guo's arm and whispered, "I am not yet a disciple of Jin'ao Island, you don't need to interfere."

Jiang Guo shook his head and said, "You have achieved some success in cultivating the Hunyuan Dao Scripture and have also obtained the inheritance of the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Blade, so you are already a disciple of Jin'ao Island. As your senior brother, I cannot stand idly by when my fellow disciple is in trouble!"

He unleashed his sword energy. Now that he was a true immortal, his cultivation and strength were far greater than when he first met Chen Shi. However, when facing someone like Yin Suijun, he felt like an ant trying to shake a tree. They were simply not on the same level.

Yin Suijun channeled his magic power and was about to grab him. Chen Shi and Jiang Guo were about to risk their lives to resist when suddenly Chen Shi felt the Blood Transformation Divine Blade hidden in the Demon Realm of the Well vibrate violently, almost flying out of the Demon Realm.

This unexpected turn of events caught Chen Shi off guard. Just as the Blood Transformation Divine Blade was about to go out of control, a voice laughed and said, "Well said! Well said! We cannot stand idly by when our fellow disciples are in trouble!"

The man's voice was deafening. Before Yin Suijun's palm could even fall, it collided violently with a giant hand. The two men's divine power erupted and surged out from between the two giant palms, pushing away all the surrounding stars!

Yin Suijun was startled and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a Taoist priest on the star raft where Chen Shi was. The priest was sixteen feet tall, with a face as white as gold, red hair and beard, and golden eyes. He was tall and thin, holding a large banner in his hand, and his other hand was shrinking and retracting backward.

"Soul-Slaying Banner! Lone Star Lord!" Yin Suijun hesitated for a moment and did not continue the attack.

Chen Shi felt the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade vibrate even more violently, and hurriedly suppressed the blade. He looked at the Taoist priest and felt that the large banner the priest was holding was somewhat familiar. He thought to himself, "It is somewhat similar to the Myriad Soul Banner of our Xiniu New Continent. However, the power of this banner is much greater."

In order to deal with evil spirits, every city in Xiniu New Continent has refined the Ten Thousand Soul Banner, which is very similar to the large banner in the Taoist's hand, both of which emit billowing black smoke.

"Greetings, fellow disciples!" The golden-masked Taoist greeted Chen Shi and Jiang Guo.

The two quickly returned the greeting. Chen Shi straightened up and felt that the Taoist priest also had a strong incense smell on him, so he should also be a deity. He wondered to himself, "This senior brother from Jin'ao Island is also a celestial being."

The Golden-Faced Taoist greeted Lord Yin Sui with a smile, saying, "Your Highness, I am Yu Hua, the Lone Star Lord."

Yin Suijun looked down and said to the Taoist priest, "Star Lord, you are not on duty on Lonely Star, why are you getting involved in this mess?"

Lord Guchen laughed and said, "These two are disciples of my Golden Turtle Island. I naturally come to help them when they are in trouble. But Your Highness, you have already jumped out of the fire pit of Peach Blossom Paradise, yet you want to jump into it again. It's puzzling."

Yin Suijun's face darkened, somewhat displeased: "Yu Hua, you are a minister of the Shang Dynasty. It is rather presumptuous of you to say such things in front of me."

Lord Guchen was also somewhat angered and sneered, "Your Highness has forgotten that the Great Shang Dynasty is long gone. Moreover, I was killed in order to protect the Great Shang Dynasty and had no choice but to become a deity of the Heavenly Court! It is Your Highness who is a traitor. You are clearly the crown prince of the Great Shang Dynasty, but you have followed the enemy. I despise you."

Yin Suijun flew into a rage: "Today we are both ministers in the Heavenly Court, why bring up these old grievances? Yu Hua, Chen Shi injured my disciples of Peach Blossom Grotto and tarnished my master's reputation. Today I will not let him go! If you stand in my way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lord Guchen sneered, "Did you say the same thing when you rebelled against the Shang Dynasty?"

The two were locked in a fierce confrontation when Gu Chenxingjun secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Junior brothers, I am no match for him. When we fight later, you should seize the opportunity to escape."

Chen Shi and Jiang Guo were both stern-faced, and Chen Shi secretly winked at the black pot.

Enraged, Yin Suijun laughed and unleashed his three-headed, six-armed form to attack him, sneering, "Yu Hua, today you've brought this humiliation upon yourself!"

Yu Hua leaped up, and the instant he left the Star Chariot, he transformed into a gigantic figure like Yin Suijun. He shook the Soul-Slaying Banner, which shook Yin Suijun's soul, and then raised the Fangtian Halberd to fight against him.

The moment the two deities made their move, the black pot immediately took control of the boatman, who then propelled the star raft forward at breakneck speed.

The star raft passed between the bodies of two incomparably majestic deities. The two deities were so large that their movements caused the starry sky to shatter, constantly breaking the star path of the raft. Under the reassurance of the black pot, the boatman performed with unprecedented skill, navigating the star raft through the limbs where the two deities clashed, a breathtaking feat.

Especially that Lord Yin Sui, with three heads and six arms, each arm incredibly thick; when he swept over, everything was truly doomed to destruction. Without the skill to fight to the death in the waves, the ship would likely be destroyed and everyone would perish in a mere instant!

The boatman performed exceptionally well, repeatedly dodging the limbs of the two deities, and maneuvering the star raft up and down, avoiding the two gods' supernatural powers, and narrowly escaping between the two gods!

At the same time, from within the divine cities at Yin Suijun's waist, thousands of fiends unfurled their banners, leaping swiftly towards the star raft. These fiends were incredibly powerful, waving their array flags in the starry sky to form a Blood Fiend Array, instantly unleashing an endless sea of ​​blood.

Chen Shi's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately summoned the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Blade, thinking to himself, "The Blood Transformation Divine Blade is extremely useful in dealing with the evil formation!"

Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Net Blood-Transforming Divine Blade had just flown out of the Demon Realm in the well when it immediately went out of control and hurtled away. Chen Shi was shocked: "The demonic blade is going to kill its master!"

He looked back and saw that the Blood Transformation Divine Blade was heading straight for Yu Hua.

Chen Shi was stunned, but then he saw Yu Hua raise his hand and grasp the Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Blade, laughing strangely and saying, "Thank you for the gift of the blade, Junior Brother!"

"Buzz!"

Behind him, the Blood Sea Hell suddenly expanded and spun wildly. He swung his blade at Yin Suijun, and the power of the Blood Transformation Divine Blade in his hands far surpassed that in Chen Shi's hands, forcing Yin Suijun to retreat repeatedly.

"Could it be that Yu Hua, the Lone Star Lord, is the true owner of the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade?"

Chen Shi, quick-witted, thought to himself, "Wait a minute, if he were the owner of the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, he wouldn't thank me for gifting him the blade. Strange, why is the Blood Transformation Divine Blade closer to him?"

As he was thinking, the Star Chariot had already rushed into the Blood Fiend Formation. Jiang Guo stood at the bow of the ship, thrusting out a wooden sword in his hand. Instantly, the sword energy surged, carrying a terrifying aura that could annihilate everything, sweeping away everything. Even the Blood Fiend Formation composed of tens of thousands of fiends was cleaved in two by his sword!

Chen Shi was startled by the power of his sword strike.

Jiang Guo looks delicate and refined, but I never expected him to be so fierce and domineering!
"Is this the legacy of Jin'ao Island? It is indeed extraordinary."

Chen Shi felt a surge of envy. In his eyes, the Hunyuan Sword Scripture was already an extremely remarkable sword technique, especially the ninth move, Hongmeng Split, which was unfathomable. Even now, he could only grasp a fraction of it.

However, the sword techniques Jiang Guo used were far more powerful than those in the Hunyuan Sword Scripture.

Chen Shi had never witnessed the power of the Primordial Chaos Split, but he guessed that even this move could not compare to Jiang Guo's sword techniques.

Jiang Guo's sword technique was practically annihilating; wherever his sword light touched, whether it was the path of immortals or gods, everything shattered and crumbled. Chen Shi had never seen such a domineering technique before.

Jiang Guo fought his way through the enemy lines, but more and more fierce enemies kept charging from both sides. Chen Shi immediately summoned the sword-nurturing gourd and simultaneously controlled sixty-four sword energies, using the Hunyuan Sword Scripture to block one side of the star chariot.

Black Pot then raised the Heavenly Iron Ruler to guard the other side of the Star Chariot and fought against the charging evil spirit.

The man and his dog fought with all their might to hold back the evil spirits, but more and more of them surged forward, even climbing onto the star raft. The black pot, its hands tired from killing, was pounced upon by the evil spirits.

"Feast!"

Just then, Chen Shi shouted loudly, and the black pot floated into the air, involuntarily revealing its true form. It opened its enormous maw, wide enough to see through its throat and into the hellish demonic fire within its belly!

With a whoosh, the vicious dog swallowed hundreds of ferocious spirits in one gulp, then its body rapidly shrank and landed on the bow of the ship.

At this moment, the boatman urged the Star Raft to break through the Blood Fiend Formation, but Jiang Guo, who had been piercing through, used his wooden sword to destroy the formation.

The star raft connected to the Milky Way Star Road, its speed increasing rapidly. Before the countless evil spirits could catch up, it roared away, leaving them far behind.

On the Starship, Chen Shi, Hei Guo, and the other passengers were still reeling from their shock.

The passengers were still trembling. They had been on the same boat as Chen Shi and the others, and had thought it would be a safe journey, but it turned out to be so thrilling.

Jiang Guo sheathed the wooden sword, which shrank back to its original three-inch size and remained hanging on the jade pendant at his waist.

"The legacy of Jin'ao Island is truly too strong. No, it's Senior Brother Jiang Guo who is truly strong."

Chen Shi felt a surge of respect for the young man, thinking to himself, "His mind is pure, and he is devoted to swordsmanship, which is why he has achieved such success. Although the Jin'ao Island tradition is good, judging from the Hunyuan Sword Manual, the Jin'ao Island tradition must be extremely difficult to learn. If Senior Brother Jiang Guo did not have extraordinary talent, he would certainly not have achieved such success."

Thinking of this, he continued to study the technique of splitting the primordial chaos. After a long time, feeling that he had gained some understanding, he took out a stream of Xuanhuang sword energy and used it on his own.

After practicing this a hundred or so times, Chen Shi still felt that the moves were awkward and difficult to unleash their power, so he sat down again and continued to study the Xuanhuang Dao patterns and comprehend the mysteries of the separation of Xuanhuang in the Hongmeng division.

Two or three days passed in the blink of an eye. The speed of the star raft gradually slowed down, and the surrounding star field became more and more desolate. At this moment, the ship paused slightly, and Yu Hua, the Lone Star Lord, landed on the star raft again, his feet unsteady.

Chen Shi quickly stood up, greeted him, and said, "This humble student, Chen Shi, pays respects to Lord Guchen!"

Lone Star Lord was clearly injured, his breathing somewhat unsteady. He laughed and said, "You and I are from the same sect, how can you be a junior disciple? Junior Brother Chen, I am a fourth-generation disciple of Golden Turtle Island, and I am a disciple of the One Qi Immortal Yu Yuan, who is also your master. This Heavenly Net Blood Transformation Divine Blade is my master's treasure. Back then, this blade fell into the mortal world to help my master choose a disciple."

Chen Shi spoke the truth, saying, "This sword was suppressed under the feet of the ancestral court's Erlang Zhenjun, and later it accidentally fell into Xiniu Xinzhou, where it turned against him and killed many of his masters. Was this also arranged by my master?"

The Lone Star Lord was slightly embarrassed and said, "This is how we select disciples. Those who fail the test mostly die. As the saying goes, 'If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening.' If you heard the true Dharma in the morning, it's not a pity if you die in the evening."

Chen Shi asked in confusion, "Does this mean that if you find out the road to your enemy in the morning, you should rush there immediately and kill your enemy that night?"

Gu Chen Xingjun looked at Jiang Guo, who said, "Junior Brother Chen is from the lineage of Master, not the lineage of Tongtian."

Lone Star Lord suddenly realized, put down the Soul-Slaying Banner, took out the Heavenly Net Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, and returned it to Chen Shi, saying, "This blade was given to me by my master back then, but unfortunately my skills were inferior, and the divine blade was tarnished. Junior Brother, you have taken this blade, and I have no face to use it again."

Chen Shi sheathed the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade, looked at the Soul-Slaying Banner, and said, "Senior Brother Yu, could this banner be the Myriad Souls Banner?"

"What Ten Thousand Souls Banner? This is the Human Emperor Banner!" Lord Guchen exclaimed, his beard bristling and eyes wide.

Chen Shi asked with skepticism, "Why is there so much black smoke?"

"Refining demonic energy naturally produces billowing black smoke."

Lord Guchen said earnestly, "If it's something that looks golden and dazzling, it's most likely the demonic path. The demonic path deliberately makes things magnificent to deceive people. Only our place, filled with billowing black smoke, is the righteous path."
