Perfect World: The Path of Pure Source

Cracks appeared in the void, and yet another person mistakenly entered the ancient black ship.

He had wings of a roc on his back, held a Void Halberd in his hand, and gazed at the double-pupiled figure on the broken mountain.

It was incredibly familiar, but it wasn't the person he knew.

On the broken mountain, that person was heroic and looked down on the world with an invincible confidence. His eyes were filled with the image of the sun and moon sinking and the stars disappearing, a terrifying sight!

It was incredibly powerful. With a single glare, blood-red swords flew from its eyes, shattering the heavens and earth wherever it passed. A cloud of blood mist instantly appeared, freezing the charging evil corpse in place, its supernatural powers dissipating, and its body being severed.

Chi!

At the same time, those golden double pupils glowed, as if creating the heavens and the earth. Two terrifying beams of light shot out, turning the remaining figures into blood mist. Even more terrifying, they forcefully carved a path through the horde of corpses.

When the Heavenly Eye opens, evil spirits flee; those who dare defy divine power will be vanquished!

"This method is not Shi Yi's, but rather very similar to that of the person who subdued the Ancient Saint." Shi Hao looked at the figure and had also heard the news that two people with double pupils had traveled together in the Immortal Ancient Era.

Clearly, that one was Yang Jian, the one with double pupils from the ancient immortal clan!

Clang! On the broken mountain, Yang Jian's Tai'a sword trembled, actually blocked by a golden arm. The person's strength was exceptionally great, not much weaker than his own. Upon closer inspection, it was a golden creature with a human body and an ant's head, possessing boundless strength.

"The famous Golden Ant from 20,000 years ago?" He recognized the other party. It had been recorded by the Immortal Ancient Clan and was a special talent with unique bloodline. If one were to trace its ancestry back to its origins, it would be the branch of the legendary Heavenly Horned Ant, the Primordial Divine Ant, which was quite extraordinary.

Just as many living beings can evolve into dragons and phoenixes, this is one direction.

The golden ant's steps shook the heavens and the earth. After clashing with Yang Jian, it didn't stop. With a sudden shove, it crashed into him like a mountain.

Golden Ant Treasure Technique - Iron Mountain Lean!

In Yang Jian's eyes, it was as if a golden mountain made of runes was crashing down on him. This kind of power could even shatter magical techniques, and it carried a powerful sense of force.

However, within the vision of the double pupils, everything was slowed down and analyzed. The traces of this precious technique's operation and the actions of its use all appeared in Yang Jian's eyes. As soon as the Tai'a sword in his hand lit up, the flow of time for the two of them was distorted, and the golden mountain immediately slowed down.

He easily dodged to the side, and with his other hand raised, the Kunlu Blade, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, struck the Golden Ant in the waist, causing it to stagger backward and reveal a gash in its waist.

Buzz! Although the golden ant was retreating, its fingers quickly turned golden, and ant-shaped runes intertwined and rose up. Then it suddenly clenched its fist, turned around, and slammed its hammer heavily towards Yang Jian.

Golden Ant Treasure Technique - Sky-Supporting Fist! This punch was so powerful it seemed to lift the heavens with one hand, flipping the collapsing sky back over with a single blow, exuding an awe-inspiring sense of immense strength.

Just as he made his move, the double pupils scanned him completely, and Yang Jian's lips curled into a smile, because his movements had changed and were now identical to those of the golden ants, with the same golden ant-shaped runes appearing between his palms and fingers.

From sparse to dense, from dim to dazzling, they are exactly the same!

The golden ant extends its palm, Yang Jian extends his palm. The golden ant clenches its fist, Yang Jian clenches his fist. The golden ant takes a step, Yang Jian takes a step!

The golden ant suddenly unleashed a Sky-Piercing Fist; Yang Jian responded with the same Sky-Piercing Fist with perfect precision.

Golden Ant Treasure Technique versus Golden Ant Treasure Technique!

The two moved in perfect unison, like identical mirror images, so perfectly synchronized that even Shi Hao, watching from afar, let out a soft exclamation. The God-Slaying Stone on his shoulder yelped in surprise, "He's just learning and putting it to use; he's practicing the Treasure-Stealing Technique!"

With a loud thud, Yang Jian did not retreat an inch. Behind him, a mountain and sea of ​​blood-red runes appeared. With this enhancement, he actually knocked the Golden Ant, which was famous for its strength in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm, back!

Thump thump thump! The golden ant retreated step by step, its body cracking and bleeding, leaving nine large craters in the ground. Its aura suddenly became domineering, as if it was about to unleash some kind of trump card. The phantom of a golden unicorn ant began to appear behind it, but Yang Jian did not give it a chance to prepare its killing move.

It forcibly interrupted and attacked again, not only with the blood energy mountains and seas transformed from boundless blood, but also with the phantoms of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, completely suppressing the golden ant, imprisoning its body, and disrupting its laws. What followed was a fatal sword strike.

Sword rises from Tai'a, traversing the vast void!

The golden ant tried to resist, but its body was bound. In its eyes, the sword that the man had been accumulating power for a long time suddenly pierced out. Countless sword energies converged into one, and then split into ten from the void. One sword energy went up to the sky, one sword energy went down to the ground, six sword energies suppressed the six directions, and two more sword energies broke through the gate of life and the position of death, directly cutting off all of the golden ant's escape routes and life force, tearing its body apart.

With a whoosh, Yang Jian cleaved through the golden ant, instantly dismembering it into ten pieces and killing it on the spot.

Inside the golden ant, a piece of arm bone had fallen off. The bone was golden in color and engraved with ancient runes, resembling a towering, one-horned ant.

"Heavens above and earth below, summon my battle spirit!"

With a hum, Yang Jian began to form hand seals, using the profound techniques of the Supreme Art. The Battle Soul Chapter displayed its power, directly imprisoning the remnant soul of the Golden Ant and turning it into his own aid.

Then, within that vast illusory landscape of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a golden ant appeared, being nourished and receiving power in return, forming a cycle of sustenance.

After defeating his opponent, Yang Jian picked up the arm bone from the ground. Suddenly, the words "Eternal Evolution Chart" appeared in his field of vision: Primordial Divine Ant Inheritance Symbol Bone (Incomplete).

The lineage of a branch of the Heavenly Horned Ant descendants? Yang Jian let out a soft exclamation upon seeing this. No wonder the Golden Ant could sweep through the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm for a lifetime; it turns out it is a branch of the bloodline of the Primordial Divine Ant!

You should know that there is a "Nest Realm" in the Immortal Ancient Secret Realm that is inherited by the Heavenly Horned Ants; it's just that it has been occupied by the banished immortal.

This talisman bone not only contains the inherited treasure techniques of the ancient divine ants, but also two more ancient "freehand" techniques!

Clearly, that was the ultimate technique that the Golden Ant wanted to use in its final desperate attempt, but it was interrupted and suppressed by Yang Jian's Boundless Blood Technique, preventing it from being used and instead falling into his hands.

"It might be a partial application of the Heavenly Horned Ant Technique! But now is not the time to investigate; let's leave first."

After some thought, Yang Jian put away the talisman bone and continued his breakout, heading towards a safe area.

"Is he a freak who entered the Immortal Ancient Era from the Ancient Temple?" Shi Hao glanced at the changes that had occurred here and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture? Isn't that the ultimate technique of the Ancient Saint Son?

"He has surpassed the limit of the Blood Transformation Realm and achieved a level similar to the Ten Heavens Harmony. Little Stone, this guy is quite extraordinary." Upon seeing this scene, the God-Slaying Stone's expression became subtle. Just as he was about to say something more, a change occurred in the arena.

Awooo!

A loud roar suddenly rang out, and a mournful cry echoed from the abyss, as if some creature was constantly trying to break through the seal, attempting to shake off the king's corpse and rush up from below.

The abyss erupted, and the power of the rules of the entire world surfaced, causing various ancient lamps to rise and tremble continuously.

Moreover, the corpses scattered all over the mountain stood up and gathered here, staring at Yang Jian and Shi Hao.

Hmm? Yang Jian's expression shifted slightly. The illusory image of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths behind him had attracted many ancient lamps, which flew up one after another, swirling and circling, trying to imprint and reflect his precious technique and take it all away.

"Tests, slaughter, theft, and calamity." Above the abyss, a lingering spirit rippled, and the corpse seemed to sense this phenomenon, revealing the secret.

Shi Hao was the same; he was surrounded by ancient lamps, stealing magic and techniques.

"Is this an alien setup, or a dark cage?" Yang Jian pondered. He leaned towards the latter, because it was similar to the way dark cages imprison genius primordial spirits. At the same time, purple divine fire rose and burned around him, blocking out the light, and he rushed forward.

He charged straight at the corpses, eyeing the precious techniques they possessed.

These corpses came from various races, including ancient immortal clans and individuals who had mastered profound magical techniques; there were far too many of them.

"Steal my techniques? I'll take yours first!" Yang Jian sneered, and began to fight these resurrected corpses, using his double pupils to evolve their precious techniques.

A woman with wings appeared directly in front of them, spreading one hand into a palm and striking with a magical technique. Instantly, five colors of light—red, blue, yellow, white, and black—flowed and transformed into a divine light like a feather fan, sweeping down. Even some of the divine light runes shooting from the double pupils were brushed away. This was the Five-Colored Peacock Technique!

Then, another burly man in black clothes and black hair pounced over, opened his mouth and sucked in a black vortex that instantly appeared in front of his mouth. It could absorb everything, even the attacks launched by the ancient corpses around it were decomposed into runes and swallowed up. That was the Gluttonous Treasure Technique.

After the two restrained Yang Jian, the third powerful figure also made his move. He was a handsome red-haired youth with a spark mark between his eyebrows. He spread his arms and leaped into the air, pouncing towards Yang Jian's head like a divine bird. A layer of fire runes intertwined on his body to form the shape of a Vermilion Bird. With a loud crash, he used the Vermilion Bird Treasure Technique!

With three powerful techniques unleashed simultaneously, each of them a former ancient powerhouse, what would be a perilous situation for other geniuses was nothing more than commonplace for Yang Jian.

"The Myriad Transformations of Military Techniques, the Divine Power of Battle; Reversing Heaven and Reversing the Sun, Manifesting Sacred Might!"

Yang Jian chanted a long chant, and his third eye suddenly tore open the void and flashed, freezing the three attackers in an instant. Then, his right eye shone brightly, emitting countless bubbles and echoing with a sound like a shattering mirror, enveloping the three.

The next moment, the fierce magical techniques that the three had used when they arrived vanished without a trace. They had been bewitched by the illusion and stopped their attack. Instead, Yang Jian calmly walked out, his eyes constantly evolving new magical techniques.

In the end, the primordial spirit world shattered, and the three regained control of their bodies. They saw Yang Jian turn around, open his left hand, and burst forth with five-colored rays of light—red, blue, yellow, white, and black—from his palm. He twisted these rays into a precious fan and with a swift wave, swept away the attacks that the three had hastily gathered.

Then he grabbed forward with both hands, and the runes condensed into a vortex that swept over them, pulling the three of them back. When they were close, Yang Jian stretched out his arms, and a layer of crimson flames burned on his body. As he charged forward, it transformed into a Vermilion Bird that pierced through them.

*Pfft pfft pfft!* The three freaks were instantly scattered and fell far away; in the blink of an eye, Yang Jian used his double pupils to master the precious techniques they had used, and then turned the tables and defeated them.

This scene caused the ancient lanterns following in the distance to pause for a moment, as if they had never encountered such a situation before.

They are the ones who steal techniques, so how come now it's the other way around and people are stealing their techniques?

Yang Jian remained silent, focusing solely on activating his double pupils to scan all directions, as if holding the world in his palm. Not far away, Shi Hao was dueling with the corpse of a powerful figure wielding a sword embryo, who turned out to be the former Five-Crown King who practiced the Five Elements Dao.

Just then, the corpse that had previously posed the greatest threat moved. It was the ancient king with gray hair and white eyes. He took down the longbow from his back, drew the bowstring with his left hand, and with a flick of his right hand from his waist, took out a silver pellet.

Golden bow and silver bullets, hitting the target every time!

With a whooshing sound, the ancient king's golden bow trembled, and a silver bullet flew out. This strike was unerring, carrying a circle of strange magical runes, as if it were certain to hit the enemy!

Sensing the danger, Yang Jian crossed his sword and slashed, blocking the stone ball with a clang. However, his primordial spirit trembled slightly, as if it had been hit by the stone ball, and was still partially affected.

"What kind of magical technique is this?" He was surprised. He had the Soul Summoning Scripture protecting his primordial spirit, yet this strange magical technique of the other party could still forcefully produce the effect of hitting him?

"Impossible! How could that person know my clan's technique?" Shi Hao in the distance didn't feel anything, but the God-Slaying Stone became excited. It looked at the king holding the golden bow and silver bullets with suspicion and felt an ancient and powerful technique!

Having failed in his first attack, the Golden Bow King stopped making moves and simply stood there. Instead, more and more corpses surrounded and blocked Yang Jian. He had no choice but to attack again, hacking and slashing his way through the enemy ranks, leaving limbs flying everywhere. No one could stop him.

After a fierce battle, Yang Jian got closer and closer to Shi Hao. The two met up in perfect unison and exchanged a glance.

"Shi Hao/Yang Jian".

After a brief exchange, both of them understood who they had encountered.

"You have the blood of the Stone Clan in your body. Move towards the direction of the King's corpse. He has his own way of dealing with the anomalies here." Yang Jian said, reminding Shi Hao. He then slapped away the ancient corpse that attacked him from behind with one palm, and put his other hand together with Shi Hao's outstretched hand, palm to palm.

The two cooperated seamlessly, simultaneously activating their magical techniques, both employing unconventional paths to godhood. The Three Thousand Great Dao Flames and the True Dragon Immortal Flame merged, suddenly evolving into a resonance of their magical techniques:

"Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Scripture / Kunpeng Thunder Emperor Technique!"

In an instant, a magnificent spectacle descended from the infinite heights, suppressing the area. Furthermore, the shadows of Kun and Peng roamed freely, and lightning and heavenly tribulations suddenly appeared, directly cleaving a path through the air.

The two pushed forward relentlessly, and in the end, their double pupils and supreme bones even showed a subtle resonance, allowing their magical techniques to evolve even further.

Ancient soul-summoning sounds echoed throughout the heavens and earth, and the runes of the Ten Fierce Treasures Techniques were reuniting, recreating the "appearance of the remnant souls of the Ten Fierce Ones" of the past.

A Kunpeng, as large as ten thousand feet, flaps its wings and sweeps across all realms; a Thunder Emperor, treads the nine heavens and brings calamity to the three thousand worlds!

The two illusory figures, resembling the ten fierce beasts, rushed past, directly and destructively shattering everything in their path.

The God Stone saw it clearly: even a True One Realm expert who surpassed the Divine Fire Realm was reduced to ashes by the combined attack of the two!

This is terrifying! That wasn't an ordinary cultivator who was a whole realm higher, but an ancient genius from the past! And yet he couldn't even withstand a single blow?

"The worst of the two freaks!" Shi Dashen shouted. He was truly indignant that he, the mighty Shi Batian, could be inferior to others.

Using the path created by this attack, the two traversed the void at lightning speed and soon arrived at the area where the corpse of the Borderland King was suppressed.
