I get stronger every day I live.

Chapter 183 The Destruction of the Great Luo, News of the Emperor's Tomb
Bang bang bang!
Boom boom boom!
Mo Ruyan stood alone outside the Xuanming Realm, blocking the endless insect horde.

With each move, the power of the Devouring Law pours forth, tearing through space and obliterating the Daoist principles.

Under the control of Zerg Da Luo, the Zerg charged towards Mo Ruyan fearlessly, and even their suicidal self-destruct attacks had no effect.

All tangible and intangible forces were devoured by Mo Ruyan's laws, which instead amplified and transformed them into her power.

Upon seeing this, the insectoid behemoth's face turned ashen, and a hoarse, low voice rang out: "Devouring Divine Body, Great Dao Devouring Heaven Scripture, you are the Devouring Witch 'Mo Ruyan' from the Forbidden Zone of Gods and Demons. How could a dignified Devouring Witch protect this small Xuanming Realm?"

"None of your business." Mo Ruyan ignored the insectoid behemoth's question and, in the next moment, conjured a black hole and threw it at the insectoid army.

Seeing the heavy losses suffered by the Zerg, the Zerg Grand Luo gritted his teeth in anger. With Mo Ruyan here, he probably had no way to deal with the Xuanming Realm.

After all, although it is a Great Luo Immortal, it mainly relies on its numerical advantage, and its individual combat strength is not as good as Mo Ruyan, who has the Devouring God Body.

Mo Ruyan's Devouring Divine Body is said to devour everything, and its Devouring Law can easily tear through space and destroy the insectoid race's indestructible carapace, making it a natural counter to the insectoid race.

"Fine, you win. I'll remember this grudge. I'll see how long you can protect this little Xuanming Realm."

Having uttered these harsh words, the Great Luo of the Zerg planned to lead his Zerg in retreat, waiting for the opportune moment to strike again and destroy the Xuanming Realm.

Although their Zerg numbers are large, they must also know how to assess the situation and run away immediately if they can't win.

It knew all too well that a stubborn race would not have a good end.

As for the human who killed his clone, there's plenty of time.

However, just as he was thinking this, a young man appeared behind it without him noticing, staring at it calmly and indifferently, his body faintly exuding killing intent.

The Zerg Grand Luo was startled. Upon closer inspection, he realized that this was none other than the arrogant human immortal who had slain his clone!
"It's you! You dare to come here willingly?" the Zerg Grand Luo roared angrily.

“We humans have an old saying: ‘Since we’re here, let’s make the best of it.’” Lai Yang said calmly, crossing his arms. “Since you’re here, then bury us here.”

"Hmph, arrogant and conceited human, you think you can kill me? Don't think that just because she's protecting the Xuanming Realm, I can't do anything to you. You're just asking for death."

The Zerg behemoth roared, its ferocious, sharp claws tearing through the void and instantly grabbing at Lai Yang with terrifying power.

Mo Ruyan was startled; she had no idea when Lai Yang had appeared there.

Seeing the Zerg Da Luo attack Lai Yang, he became anxious and wanted to step forward to help: "If you dare to hurt him, I will exterminate your entire race!"

The next moment, both the Zerg and Mo Ruyan were stunned. They saw that Lai Yang had actually grabbed the Zerg behemoth's claw with his bare hands.

The two are worlds apart in size, like an ant on the ground grabbing an elephant.

Even so, the Zerg behemoth's attack could not advance or retreat even an inch, as if it were firmly clamped and unable to move.

No matter how much it unleashes and mobilizes its internal power, it is all in vain.

The insectoid behemoth's expression gradually changed from ferocious and savage to terrified. Sensing the surging blood and qi within Lai Yang's body, it seemed to have truly become a weak insect at this moment.

"Physical sainthood?! You...you're a quasi-saint?!" The insectoid behemoth paled in horror.

The human who killed its clone was actually a Quasi-Saint!?

Damn it, you're a quasi-saint, why didn't you say so earlier? If I had known you were a quasi-saint, I wouldn't have dared to set foot in the Xuanming Realm even if you gave me a thousand lives.

“I told you, even if you were just a Great Luo clone, I could still kill you with a single sword strike, let alone your true form.”

"Now, it is time for me to keep my promise."

Lai Yang's vital energy is like the vast and boundless universe.

Immediately afterwards, Lai Yang flipped his hand and took out the immortal sword magic weapon that he had forged from the insectoid race. Vast blood energy adhered to the sword body, dyeing the dark green sword body with a layer of thick blood energy that seemed to be real. He then slashed at the insectoid behemoth with the sword.

It happened in the blink of an eye.

Faced with this deadly sword strike, the Zerg behemoth hesitated almost without hesitation and resolutely used the Golden Cicada Shedding its Shell technique.

The next moment, the enormous body of the Zerg behemoth was split in two as if it had been cut into tofu.

Lai Yang saw a figure split off from the giant insectoid beast's body and flee into the depths of space at an extremely fast speed.

"Want to run?"

Lai Yang frowned, then added another sword strike. The sword energy stretched endlessly in the void, like a long river of sword energy, cutting off everything in its path.

The Zerg Grand Luo ultimately could not escape Lai Yang's river of sword energy, and was annihilated by the vast and terrifying sword energy the moment it was swallowed up.

The aura of the Zerg Grand Luo completely disappeared, and countless Zerg fell into chaos, scattering in panic and fleeing into the depths of space.

After everything was over, Lai Yang put away the huge insectoid beast's shell in front of him.

Although it's just a shell, the materials from the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm can be used to forge many good things.

A moment later, Mo Ruyan arrived in front of Lai Yang, her beautiful face showing a look of surprise and doubt. She asked in astonishment, "Lai Yang, you, you have achieved physical sainthood?"

"Yes, it happened by chance," Lai Yang nodded and said frankly.

Mo Ruyan couldn't help but reach out and touch Lai Yang's abs, exclaiming, "A quasi-saint's body! I never imagined you were so strong. I thought it would be my turn to protect you from now on, but I never expected you to surpass me. I have the Devouring Divine Body and the Great Dao Devouring Heaven Scripture, yet I still couldn't surpass you. It's quite a blow to my confidence."

"Is your cultivation level also hidden? Are you really only at the Golden Immortal Realm?" Mo Ruyan looked at Lai Yang with suspicion.

"I'm not lying to you, I really am just a Golden Immortal."

"Really?"

“Of course, you didn’t ask me.” Lai Yang smiled faintly. “You don’t need to be discouraged. Your cultivation speed is much faster than mine. I was able to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm so quickly by borrowing the Xuanming Tower. If you cultivate for a few thousand more years, you will definitely be able to break through to the Quasi-Saint realm as well. Your cultivation speed is much stronger than mine. Besides, it’s just a physical breakthrough to the Quasi-Saint realm. There are still many limitations, and it’s difficult to fully exert your strength. I might still have to rely on you.”

"Hmph, you smooth talker, all you do is flatter me." Mo Ruyan gave him a charmingly glaring look, all traces of the terrifying witch aura she had displayed earlier completely gone.

However, hearing Lai Yang say that made Mo Ruyan feel much happier.

Yes, she has the Devouring Divine Body and the Great Dao Devouring Heaven Scripture. As long as she cultivates diligently, she will eventually become the one above.

The thought that she could suppress Lai Yang and do whatever she wanted once her cultivation level was high enough made her a little excited.

Seeing her malicious expression, Lai Yang felt inexplicably uneasy.

Although it's unclear what she's thinking, it's definitely not something good.

"Alright, the threat from the Zerg is temporarily gone. Let's go back."

"Hmm." Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan returned to the Xuanming Realm.

Just then, Shen Lingchuan stepped forward and asked, "Are you two alright, fellow Daoists?"

“It’s alright, the Zerg have retreated. I’ve already killed a Zerg Grand Luo, and they probably won’t dare to come back anytime soon. Fellow Daoist Shen can rest assured,” Lai Yang said.

Shen Lingchuan was startled. He had also seen the long river of sword energy that had just torn through the void, and he was deeply shocked.

When did the person in front of me become so terrifying?

Back when they first met, a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal insectoid could control and threaten him, but now he can even slay a Daluo with his sword. The speed at which he has grown is even more monstrous than that of a prodigy.

"I will remember your kindness, fellow Daoists. Please feel free to contact me if you ever need my help in the future," Shen Lingchuan said earnestly.

"Well, we won't stand on ceremony with you then, so please don't refuse," Lai Yang said with a smile.

"I am a man of my word and will never go back on my word. Come, fellow Daoists, please come to Xuanming City for a chat."

……

After the lively atmosphere subsided, Shen Lingchuan looked at the two of them and asked, "What are your plans for the future, fellow Daoists?"

"Since there's nothing to do right now, I'm going to find someone to repair the fragments of the Immortal Gate and see if I can find the passage to the Immortal Continent again. I'll also check on the situation in the Immortal Realm."

"Since we're already here, it would be a shame not to take the time to look around."

Lai Yang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I see. Then I wish you success, fellow Daoist."

"Thank you."

Before leaving again, Lai Yang left half of the Zerg behemoth's body in the Xuanming Realm and entrusted it to Shen Lingchuan for disposal.

The demonic beasts of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Realm, whether their flesh or bones, are excellent materials.

The Xuanming Realm is currently in dire need of reconstruction, and resources are scarce in various places. This is all the help Lai Yang can offer.

I just hope that when people from the Immortal Continent ascend to the Xuanming Realm in the future, they won't have to face a hellish, cataclysmic start.

Afterwards, Lai Yang and Mo Ruyan left the barren Xuanming Realm and went to other immortal realms.

"Ruyan, do you know where there is a way to repair the Ascension Immortal Sect?" Lai Yang looked at Mo Ruyan and asked softly.

"I haven't spent much time in the Immortal Realm, and most of my time has been spent cultivating or fighting with others, so I don't really know much about the situation there," Mo Ruyan shook her head and replied helplessly.

"However, I do know someone who definitely knows where to find people."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Phoenix Red Lotus".

"Feng Honglian? You mean Feng Honglian from the Phoenix Immortal Clan, the one you fought with before?" Lai Yang was slightly taken aback and asked in surprise.

“Yes, Feng Honglian is a member of the Phoenix Immortal Clan, and the Phoenix Immortal Clan is a formidable force in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. She definitely knows how to repair the damaged Ascension Gate, and she might even have a way to help us find the coordinates of the Immortal Continent again. However, she probably won't cooperate with us obediently,” Mo Ruyan said. “Furthermore, Feng Honglian holds a high position in the Phoenix Immortal Clan. If we attack her, we might attract the Phoenix Immortal Clan's pursuit.”

“Well, it’s best not to act rashly. We’ve only just arrived in the Immortal Realm and we’re already making an enemy of a force with an Immortal Emperor. That’s clearly not a wise move.” Lai Yang nodded, then said softly, “Let’s take it slow. We have plenty of time. The Immortal Realm is so vast, there must be other ways.”

As always, Lai Yang chose to play it safe and avoid provoking enemies if possible.

After all, there was no need for him to take unnecessary risks.

Given his current situation, he could break through to the Quasi-Saint realm in 280 years and enter the Immortal Emperor realm in 3,000 years.

Three thousand years is but a fleeting moment for immortals with long lifespans.

Even Chu Xiao and the others who were still on the Immortal Continent had a lifespan of five thousand years at the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

They were only a few hundred years old before he left. As long as they didn't perish prematurely, there was plenty of time to bring them into the immortal realm before they died of old age.

Knowing Lai Yang's cautious and steady nature, Mo Ruyan didn't say anything more.

All these years have passed, and he is still the same as before, disliking conflict with others.

Such a personality would definitely cause a great loss in the immortal realm.

After all, opportunities are something you have to fight for; other people won't just give you the opportunities they see for free.

"Where are we going next?" Mo Ruyan asked.

"Hmm... I don't know either. I plan to travel around the Immortal Realm and see what it's like. What do you think?"

Mo Ruyan thought for a moment, then said softly:
"Since you have no goal, why don't you listen to me?"

"Actually, I had received news that someone had discovered a place that seemed to be an imperial tomb. I went there to investigate the truth of the news, and I happened to run into Feng Honglian on the way, which is why I fought with her."

"Since Feng Honglian also appeared in that area, it means that the news about the Emperor's Tomb is very likely true. Let's go and take a look together; perhaps we will find a great opportunity."

"Of course, it's okay if you don't want to. I'll come back to you after I've finished my business."

"I am currently at a critical stage in cultivating the Great Dao Devouring Heaven Scripture. This Emperor's Tomb might help me break through the bottleneck and improve my Devouring Divine Body, so I must go and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Lai Yang looked thoughtful: "The Emperor's Tomb? You mean the Tomb of the Immortal Emperor?"

"Mm." Mo Ruyan nodded.

“If it really is the tomb of an Immortal Emperor, there must be tremendous opportunities within. Anyway, we don’t have anything else to do right now, so I’ll go with you to take a look. But we should be careful. If it really is the tomb of an Immortal Emperor, there’s no guarantee that there won’t be any Quasi-Saint Realm experts, or even the Immortal Emperor himself coming forward to fight for it.” Lai Yangfan liked to prepare for the worst.

"The news is not yet confirmed. If the Emperor's Tomb is indeed discovered, it may indeed alarm a Quasi-Saint Realm expert. Therefore, we must seize the opportunity. If we are late, we may not even get a taste of the soup. Let's set off quickly," Mo Ruyan urged softly.

"Okay." Lai Yang nodded.

The next moment, Mo Ruyan took out a Void-Breaking Boat. The entire Void-Breaking Boat was filled with a very rich aura of immortal power, and it was undoubtedly a powerful immortal treasure.

"Sit here, hurry up, get on."

"Ah."
