I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 663 The Struggle Over the Origin of the World
The Barbarian Emperor cultivated the Myriad Tribulations Battle Technique, using the barbarian totem to refine the essence of the demon race and fuse it into his body. He endured all kinds of tribulations to forge an indestructible body.

Enraged, he activated the Battle Heaven Totem on his body, causing his power to surge once more. His boiling blood and qi naturally transformed into a blazing flame, and the surrounding space rippled due to the pressure of his blood and qi.

His imposing presence drew the attention of Lieshan Yu and the Demon Emperor.

The barbarian supernatural powers should not be underestimated; they are worthy of being listed as one of the great cultivators of our time.

Of course, whether it was Lieshan Yu or the Demon Emperor, they were still more concerned about Gu Yuanqing.

No matter how strong the Barbarian Emperor was, he still couldn't truly contend with them. Gu Yuanqing's strength was unknown, and the fact that he dared to challenge three opponents made them even more wary.

Without absolute self-confidence, who would dare to bring this up rashly?
In the blink of an eye, the forces of a finger and a knife collided.

Barbarian Emperor Di Xiao's expression changed instantly. His once invincible longsword seemed to be stuck in a sea of ​​mud. The blade and the opponent's fingers seemed to be only an inch away from touching, but that inch felt like a vast distance. No matter what he did, he could not get any closer.

At the same time, he felt the surrounding space suddenly turbulent, with all the great Daos clashing violently, and then collapsing instantly, causing everything caught in the chaos to crumble in an instant.

The radiance formed by his own battle totem was also being rapidly eroded, as if in the blink of an eye this power would break through his own defenses and strike his physical body.

Even if he says he is confident in his physical body, he is not sure he won't be hurt by it.

It is true that one is immortal and can be reborn even if the physical body is destroyed, but that does not mean that one is immune to harm even if the physical body is annihilated.

The Barbarian Emperor suddenly let out a miserable scream, his body was thrown backward, the Battle Heaven Totem seemed to be obliterated, and his body became a bloody mess due to the power of the Great Dao's collapse.

Both the Demon Emperor and the God Emperor Lieshan Yu's expressions changed slightly. The Barbarian Divine Power's strength lay entirely in his physical body. Even if they fought him in their true forms, they would find it difficult to defeat him in a single move and injure him to such a degree.

But in the blink of an eye, they seemed to see a fleeting look of astonishment in Gu Yuanqing's eyes.

The human and the demon suddenly turned their heads to look at the barbarian emperor who had been sent flying backward, only to see that the monstrous creature was already beside the origin of the world.

At this moment, who wouldn't understand that the Barbarian Emperor's seemingly angry attack was actually an attempt to get closer to the origin of the world?

Gu Yuanqing couldn't help but smile. Although such a plan was crude, it was effective. Who would have expected that a dignified emperor, a Hun Tian Undying Great Cultivator standing at the pinnacle of the world, would do such a thing?

The Barbarian King naturally didn't think he could keep it a secret from the three people present forever, but all he wanted was that fleeting moment of time difference.

When everyone turned around, he had already recovered completely, and the Battle Sky Totem on his body reappeared, as if the injury he had just suffered was just an illusion.

He laughed loudly, "I'll gladly accept it. Your family is so wealthy and powerful, you probably don't care about such a small thing!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and grabbed, and as his five fingers opened and closed, the space of over a thousand feet where the dragon formed from the origin was rapidly compressed and shrank, falling into his palm.

At the same time, with a slash of the longsword, a spatial rift appeared, and the Barbarian Emperor was about to grab the origin of the world and step into the spatial rift to make a grand entrance.

At this moment, he could be said to be quite pleased with himself. It was a great pleasure to be able to seize the origin of the world from three powerful cultivators who were clearly stronger than him.

In fact, the act of obtaining the origin of the world made him feel even more exhilarated!
Those present naturally couldn't let him leave.

The Divine Emperor Lieshan Yu raised his palm and slashed through the air, sending out a burst of energy that transformed midway into the form of an angry-looking demon god, which attacked the Barbarian Emperor's back.

The Demon Emperor snorted coldly, and two beams of true solar fire shot directly from his eyes.

The Barbarian Emperor turned around and slashed out with two swords, the sword energy meeting the two divine abilities respectively. Although he did not completely block the two attacks, he weakened them by more than half. Then, the Battle Heaven Totem on his body shone brightly, and a Barbarian God phantom appeared in the void, with his arms wrapped around himself, forming a defensive barrier.

The Barbarian Emperor let out a muffled groan, his blood churning, but he laughed loudly as he used the force of the collision of divine powers to slam his back into the void rift.

This rift is located directly within the barbarian territory. Even if he is injured, as long as he escapes back into the territory, he is confident that he can fear no one.

"To attack me and then try to leave so easily with my belongings is a gross underestimation of my importance. Moreover, to use spatial manipulation in front of me..."

Gu Yuanqing shook his head and smiled, his tone relaxed yet exuding absolute confidence. He raised his hand and struck out with his palm, but there was no overwhelming momentum; it was just like an ordinary person raising their hand to make a gesture.

The Barbarian Emperor's smile suddenly froze. Half of his back was squeezed into the spatial rift, and the Origin Dragon was almost falling into it. But suddenly he felt that the spatial rift opened by the long sword had disappeared. In its place was the extreme sense of danger brought about by the collapse of all things when he fought Gu Yuanqing.

At the same time, the remaining powers of the Demon Emperor and the God Emperor arrived from two different directions.

In other words, he not only failed to escape, but was instead caught in a three-way attack.

His lips twitched slightly. Without any hesitation, he fully activated the barbarian divine power, and the battle totem on his body completely manifested. The barbarian god phantom began to solidify and opened its eyes, as if boundless power was bestowed upon it.

The Barbarian Emperor's muscles bulged, and the pressure of his blood and qi caused black lines to appear in the space around him.

With a roar, his entire body trembled violently, and a shockwave, formed entirely by physical force, instantly spread outwards from him in all directions.

When the power of the Myriad Paths Returning to Nothingness collided with it, half of the power within its range was destroyed. When the power from a greater distance reached out again, it only obliterated the totem power on the Barbarian Emperor's body, without harming his physical body.

A slight look of surprise appeared in Gu Yuanqing's eyes.

The Myriad Paths Returning to the Void Divine Power was not without its weaknesses. During the Spirit Mountain Trial, when he fought against Ji Shan, it was repeatedly broken. However, in that trial, he relied entirely on his own strength, and his cultivation level was one realm lower than Ji Shan's.

This is not surprising, but it is the power of Beiquan Cave Heaven that is being used now. In reality, this is the first time he has encountered someone who has withstood his power of Wandao Guixu.

Previously, whether it was Ye Xuanxiao, Mu Tianheng, or that great cultivator of the Undying Realm of the Demon Clan, their physical bodies were all destroyed when facing the power of the Myriad Dao Returning to the Void. Only because of their immortality were they able to escape with their lives.

He pondered to himself, "It seems I underestimated all the cultivators in the world, or rather, the cultivators in the Demon Realm are the real cultivators. The Undying Chaos of the Linglong Realm took a shortcut, but ultimately its flaws are too great."

The divine powers from the Demon Emperor and Lieshan Yu were also neutralized by the Barbarian Emperor's move. However, Di Xiao's heart sank because the Demon Emperor, the God Emperor, and Gu Yuanqing stood in three directions, surrounding him in the center. He could feel three auras locking onto him, as if any further movement from him would invite another thunderous strike.

It seems they refrained from making a move because they were wary of the source energy he possessed.

But having missed that opportunity, it's almost impossible for him to escape unscathed from these three.

He held the essence of the Spirit Abyss Realm in one hand, looking around warily, and forced a smile, saying, "If I said that everything just now was a misunderstanding, you would all believe me, right?" Lie Shanyu crossed his arms leisurely and laughed, "I didn't expect that the Barbarian Emperor, who is known for his volatile and impulsive personality, would also resort to such petty tricks!"

The three-legged golden crow closed its wings, stood in the void, and said indifferently: "Back then, I thought so too. If it weren't for that, how could he, with his Shattering Heaven Realm, have escaped with his life from my hands? I thought that after achieving the Undying Chaos Realm and becoming the Barbarian Emperor, he would at least have some face left. I didn't expect it to still be like this."

Barbarian King Di Xiao said dismissively, "There's nothing I can do. My land is barren and desolate. When I see something good, I always think about taking it home, unlike you gentlemen who have no worries about food and clothing."

The Demon Emperor said, "God Emperor, why don't we join forces and kill this clone of his, so that he can be taught a lesson and the Demon Realm can be a little more peaceful?"

Barbarian Emperor Di Xiao sneered: "How peaceful is this? Every great war was started by your demon race and human race. As for wanting to kill this clone of mine, you'd better not scare me. Not to mention whether I can do it, if I shake my hand, the very origin of this world might be destroyed."

The Divine Emperor Lieshan Yu chuckled lazily, seemingly unconcerned, "So what if it's destroyed?"

Barbarian Emperor Di Xiao snorted and exerted a little force in his palm. Spatial cracks appeared around the primordial dragon trapped in his palm. He said, "Then you two had better kill my main body as well, otherwise I am not one to stick to the rules."

The Demon Emperor's eyes gleamed with killing intent, yet he still dared not make a move.

Even though the Barbarian Emperor's strength is inferior to theirs, the Barbarian race still has considerable resources. And a Hun Tian Undying has the confidence to say this. If he cannot be completely suppressed and killed, there will be endless troubles in the future.

Of course, it wasn't that the Demon Emperor was afraid, but rather that at their level, everything they did had a purpose and a reason. They rarely put themselves in a disadvantageous situation simply because of a verbal or emotional argument.

Seemingly seeing through what the other was thinking, the Barbarian King smiled again: "It would be best to follow my suggestion from earlier. This item can be divided into four parts, so that everyone can get something. This will save face for everyone and avoid damaging the harmony."

Lie Shanyu chuckled and turned to look at Gu Yuanqing: "I have no objection."

The Demon Emperor remained silent, but his silence was tantamount to acquiescence. This was the best option when they didn't want to cause trouble. Moreover, on some level, they were still testing Gu Yuanqing with this move.

Gu Yuanqing was naturally unwilling. Since he was confident he could get his hands on it, why would he be willing to share it with others?
Moreover, the origin of the world is actually quite important to him. Refining this thing into the world of celestial beings may save him decades of hard work.

He sighed softly and said, "It seems that you all don't take what I just said to heart."

The Barbarian Emperor looked at Gu Yuanqing with great apprehension, then suddenly grinned and said, "To be honest, even if Fellow Daoist Gu wanted to take it all, I wouldn't have much of an objection. After all, I haven't been a cultivator since I broke through to the Chaotic Undying Realm, and my cultivation and strength are inferior to yours. But if the two emperors from the Demon Court and the Demon God Mountain come in person and return empty-handed, it would be a real loss of face."

Hey, Your Majesty the God Emperor is the emperor of the human race. Today you have relinquished the origin of this world. Will you relinquish the throne of the God Emperor next time?
This Demon Court is even more interesting. Today, His Majesty the Demon Emperor has come in person, yet he fears only one human. In the future, the demon race will never be able to hold their heads high in front of humans! Perhaps…

The eyes of both the Demon Emperor and the God Emperor gradually sharpened.

Everyone could understand the Barbarian Emperor's provocative intentions; he had directly put both the Demon Emperor and the God Emperor on the same level.

However, once something is said, it has to be done, especially if the person who said it is another emperor.

If we were to back down, not to mention the external turmoil, there would inevitably be much discussion within our own communities.

The barbarian king felt a little guilty and uneasy under the gaze, his smile faltered slightly, and his voice grew softer and softer.

He wanted to retreat, but at this moment he was at the center of the surrounding energy. As soon as he made a move, he immediately felt a sense of crisis and stopped in his tracks. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I was just saying it casually. Please don't take it to heart."

Lie Shanyu didn't speak, but his gaze turned to Gu Yuanqing again.

Gu Yuanqing smiled calmly: "There's no point in saying more. Let's just have a fight. We're all cultivators, so let's judge each other by our strength. As for the Barbarian Emperor, I suggest you put down the World Origin and don't make any rash moves. The Demon Court and Demon God Mountain have their own businesses and are worried about you, a Chaotic Undying cultivator, causing trouble. But I'm different. I'm not afraid of anyone causing trouble. If you dare to make any unusual moves, I don't mind completely suppressing or obliterating this clone of yours."

Upon hearing this, the Barbarian King's smile gradually faded, and his expression turned cold and stern: "It seems that Your Excellency is quite confident in yourself."

He was, after all, the emperor of a clan, and it was difficult for him to completely tolerate being spoken to like that to his face.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Why don't you give it a try?"

The Barbarian Emperor slowly released his left hand, put down the origin of the world, and slowly retreated.

This time, he successfully retreated from the center, and the four powerful figures once again stood in four directions with the origin of the Spirit Abyss Realm as the center.

The Barbarian Emperor said, "Since Fellow Daoist Gu has such confidence, then everyone should rely on their own abilities to grab as much as they can."

“I also think this is good,” said the Demon Emperor.

Lie Shanyu smiled slightly: "Then please, everyone!"

The four energies immediately began to probe and clash, centered on the origin of the Spirit Abyss Realm.

After a long while, no one stepped forward, because everyone knew that whoever made the first move would be targeted by the others.

The Barbarian Emperor dared not, and the Demon Emperor and Lieshan Yu were unwilling.

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "Everyone is suddenly being so polite? Very well, then I will take it."

As he spoke, Gu Yuanqing took a step forward.

The four streams of energy were intertwined in the air, but Gu Yuanqing's movement immediately triggered a chain reaction.

First, the barbarian king on the left slashed with his sword, then the demon king attacked with his divine power of the Sun True Fire.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the God Emperor Lieshan Yu directly reached out to the origin of the world.

The Demon Emperor opened its mouth and spat out a blazing sun, which struck Lie Shanyu directly, forcing him back. At the same time, it spread its wings and reached out its claws to grab the Origin Dragon.

Gu Yuanqing first clashed head-on with the Barbarian Emperor, then turned around and neutralized the True Fire of the Sun. The Barbarian Emperor, who had been forced back, then slashed at the Demon Emperor with his sword.

In any case, anyone who attacks the origin of the world will inevitably become a primary target.

And everyone's power is kept within a certain range, so that their supernatural abilities will not affect the origin of the world...
