After being exiled for eighteen years, the prince returned to the capital as a veritable immortal.

"kill!"

The celestial sword gleamed, slashing towards the dark figure on the ground.

If this sword strike were to fall, even the Heavenly Peak would likely be cleaved in two.

A half-step terrestrial immortal, truly formidable!

The sect leaders were all amazed.

A half-step terrestrial immortal is different from a half-immortal.

"Half-immortal" is just a secular term for cultivators in the Celestial Realm.

These kinds of practitioners are still within the realm of humanity.

Land immortals are those who have shed their mortal bodies and become immortals unlike ordinary people.

However, they haven't yet ascended to the legendary celestial realm.

And a half-step terrestrial immortal.

This refers to the process of advancing to the Divine Transformation Realm after reaching the Celestial Realm.

It can be said that one leg has already crossed the threshold of the Divine Evolution Realm.

Just a little bit more and I could have become a terrestrial deity.

At this time, the cultivator had also gained some understanding of the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm and had mastered some of the basic supernatural abilities of terrestrial immortals.

……

Sect leaders, guards...

All eyes were on Zhou Yi.

Life and death can be decided in an instant.

at last.

Zhou Yi made a move.

His aura also surged wildly.

His slender figure grew rapidly, both taller and thicker...

Its body was covered in golden dragon scales, and antlers like those of a deer grew from its forehead.

Transform into a dragon!

This is the "Nine Revolutions of the Divine Dragon" special effect, which is not the first time everyone has seen it.

To the surprise of all the sect leaders.

After Zhou Yi transformed, he did not appear as a winding, crawling golden dragon.

Instead, it is a humanoid standing dragon-man with a dragon tail trailing behind him.

This is--

"Dragon King!"

"The sect leader of the Wentian Sect, Xiaoyaozi, exclaimed in surprise."

"Isn't it just the royal family's ultimate technique, Dragon Transformation?"

"So what if you transform into the shape of the Dragon King?"

The other sect leaders asked, puzzled.

Xiaoyaozi, his face filled with shock, explained:

"The royal secret technique, Nine Revolutions of the Divine Dragon, can only transform into a winding dragon shape for those below the Celestial Realm."

The sect leaders were equally shocked.

This means that being able to transform into the form of a dragon king means one's realm is above the Celestial Realm.

"The Imperial Grandson Si is actually... also a half-step terrestrial immortal!"

"A near-immortal!"

……

Everyone was so shocked that their brains went numb.

Imperial grandson, this...

"Monster" is not enough to describe him.

No wonder the Snow Mountain Nun was defeated in one move.

Thank goodness they didn't step in.

Otherwise, they would be completely crushed in one move.

The duel between two near-terrestrial immortals is undoubtedly the highest-level battle in three thousand years.

Everyone stared intently at the two sides battling in the arena.

……

A slight smile appeared on Zhou Yi's lips as he glanced at the murderous divine sword.

Since his debut, he has finally met a worthy opponent.

You can practice a little.

As his cultivation level improved, his techniques and supernatural abilities also became thoroughly mastered.

Many of his moves, however, have never been used in actual combat.

Today, let's test our skills against this number one person in the cultivation world.

After all, this guy should be more durable than his previous opponents.

Zhou Yi raised his head to the sky and opened his dragon mouth.

"Yin——"

Dragon's Roar, a sonic attack.

then.

He waved his hands repeatedly, casting a series of spells.

Dragon's Breath Ice Cone!

Divine Dragon Flame!

One deadly move after another met the divine sword.

At the same time, a protective shield of divine dragon energy was activated outside the body, protecting the surrounding space for several feet.

These techniques are representative spells for each stage of the Divine Dragon Transformation from the Third to the Seventh Stage.

Zhou Yi unleashed them all, not expecting to be able to block the divine sword.

I was just testing the power of these moves.

"Puff puff!"

Dragon's Roar is a sound wave attack, specializing in mental attacks.

Upon contact with the killing intent of the divine sword, it immediately dissipated and vanished.

The ice spikes gleamed with a cold light, exuding a fierce killing intent.

Unfortunately, it was only a fifth-grade Golden Core realm spell.

Struck by the divine sword, it transformed into a cloud of water vapor and dissipated.

The Divine Dragon Flame, similarly unskilled in physical combat, was easily defeated.

Even Long Gang, like a thin-skinned porcelain, was pierced by a single sword.

Although his move was broken, Zhou Yi already understood the situation.

He has already tested and determined the upper limit of attack and defense for each realm of magic.

……

"Heh, the Imperial Grandson is nothing special!"

"The Nine Revolutions of the Divine Dragon, its reputation is undeserved!"

"May our Alliance Leader be mighty!"

The sect leaders were excited, waving flags and shouting.

The Medicine King and the Wu family father and son had solemn expressions.

What a pity.

With the astonishing talent of the imperial grandson, if he were to develop for a few more years, he would certainly be no less than Zhu Anshi.

He came seeking revenge so early, and could only perish at Tongtian Peak.

……

The divine sword, wielding the power of heaven and earth!

It was as if the power of the entire world was pressing down on the standing "Dragon King".

Before the sword even reached him, its sharp killing intent had already torn through space and struck first.

The murderous aura lingered only three inches away from his body.

The enormous dragon's paw slammed horizontally towards the blade of the divine sword.

This palm strike contained the power of heaven and earth, like the stirring of wind and thunder.

Dragon, the most powerful mythical beast.

Its indestructible claws are its strongest offensive weapons.

Its indestructible dragon body is its strongest defense.

His ultimate strike is comparable to the most powerful divine attack.

"boom!"

Two moves were executed flawlessly.

The divine sword, imbued with the power of heaven and earth, clashed with the dragon's palm, creating a massive collision.

Tongtian Peak shook violently, as if the mountain had collapsed and the earth had split open.

The earth shook violently, and the river flowed backward.

The white clouds burst into water vapor, shooting towards the ends of the earth.

The divine sword disintegrated.

Thousands of sharp swords shot out and flew into the sky.

The once invincible, earth-shattering sword strike was utterly shattered.

As the core of the divine sword, the Nine Star Sword could not withstand the weight of a single blow, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its blade.

Cracks suddenly spread across the entire blade.

One by one, the shards of the sword fell away...

In the end, only the hilt of the sword remained.

……

"So strong?"

The sect leaders were dumbfounded.

It was thought that Si Huangsun's moves had been repeatedly broken and his defeat was inevitable.

Never thought about it.

He struck out with a palm, completely defeating the formidable divine sword.

Zhu Anshi's pupils suddenly contracted, equally surprised.

In his eyes.

A golden dragon's palm rapidly approached, growing larger and larger.

After shattering the divine sword, the power of the Emperor's palm strike from Si Huangsun remained undiminished, and he struck Zhu Anshi directly.

"Give me, get up!"

Zhu Anshi was in a great hurry and formed a hand seal, raising a protective shield of qi.

"Crash-"

The protective aura, like transparent glass, shattered into pieces and fell to the ground.

Almost at the same time.

The dragon's palm struck Zhu Anshi in the chest.

"Pong!"

The blood mist exploded, and Zhu Anshi perished.

As the dragon's palm struck its opponent, it scooped up as if it had seized something.

Dragon Transformation was discontinued.

The golden dragon king reverted to Zhou Yi's tall, slender figure in black.

ended?

The leader of the Martial Arts Alliance, a half-step Celestial Realm Immortal, was just wiped out like that?

The sect leaders simply couldn't believe their eyes.

This isn't some kind of trick played by some half-step immortal during the battle, is it?

There was silence.

There was no longer any trace of Zhu Anshi, nor any sound from him.

Really dead!

Zhou Yi waved his hand.

A burst of dragon flame swept past, and Zhu Anshi's blood mist was reduced to nothingness.

"I'd like to see if you can truly be reborn."

Amidst despair, a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of the sect leaders.

Yes, Zhu Anshi said that.

He can be reborn.
