Origin Paradise!

"Why waste your energy, you two? The Nine Streams Sect says that this is the last wave of martial arts in the Jianghu. The Jianghu is full of opportunities, and there are opportunities everywhere in Dongyongzhou."

"Everyone who comes here is here for the Fen River red carp, but this thing that is so good for replenishing qi and blood depends on fate and cannot be forced. Why don't you two do me a favor?"

"Alright, alright, since a senior from the Third Realm has spoken, I will obey your command."

On the tranquil riverbank, the water rippled gently, while in the nearby tavern, a great deal of noise was taking place, with people from all walks of life gathering to drink and chat. In the tavern's cowshed, two more oxen unexpectedly died of illness.

With the Southern Liang's extreme policy of eliminating martial arts, the martial arts world of the Northern Wei seemed to experience a last gasp of life. Geniuses and physiques that were once-in-a-decade, once-in-a-century, or once-in-a-millennium emerged one after another. Righteousness was demonstrated by drawing swords to help those in need, while wiping out entire families at the slightest disagreement was a recurring theme.

Dongyongzhou was practically the core area where martial arts flourished.

This is because within Dongyong Prefecture lies the original number one sect in the world—Yunxia Daoshan.

Yunxia Daoshan has enjoyed the blessings of the Heavenly River for five hundred years. It has many lineages, mainly focusing on Yunxia magic and Yin-Yang cultivation. Although not every generation produces terrestrial immortals, the lineage of the sect leader has passed down the sacred beast Yingyu for generations. This is a sacred beast that can control rivers.

While it might be difficult for the sacred beast Yingyu to govern the Milky Way, it was extremely easy to cause the river to breach its banks for thousands of miles. This strategic deterrence made the power of the previous dynasty relatively weak in Dongyongzhou. In places where the court's control was weakened, martial arts flourished, and over time, the local customs became extremely fierce.

In fact, the Daode Sect was just a branch of the Yunxia Daoshan in the past. The first Daode Sect Master was not considered powerful among the sub-heroes, but with the rise of the Old Master, his power made the Daode Sect the number one in the world, and its swordsmanship was unparalleled in the world.

Half a month ago, the Nine Dragon Sword, the third divine weapon controlled by Yunxia Daoshan, was stolen. As a result, Yunxia Daoshan, which was originally the most likely to become the leader of the martial arts alliance, suffered a sharp drop in prestige. However, as a result, more famous figures in the martial arts world rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

"A sword of near-legendary rank, and nine immortal-level dragon souls." Jiang He recalled the intelligence Wu He had obtained. The top three divine weapons in the world were all of near-legendary rank, and were likely protective items smuggled down by reincarnations of celestial beings from past generations.

The Moral Heavenly Sword, the Azure Heaven Sword, and the Nine Dragon Sword are all swords. According to somewhat uncertain speculation, the Divine Court Sect, which once controlled the world of Zhuolu, may have been more skilled in swordsmanship and the way of the sword.

"Sir, here is your drink."

Inside the tavern, a freckled woman trotted out. Her face was unremarkable, but her exceptionally slender figure attracted a lot of attention. The man who had been arguing earlier caught sight of her swaying, moon-like figure and immediately whistled.

"A good fertility means an ordinary appearance is not a problem."

The tavern erupted in laughter, and more and more people joined in the teasing. The atmosphere gradually changed. One of the scarred young men, still upset about the earlier argument, slammed his fist on the table and called for someone to come and drink with him.

"Taverns are full of people coming and going, there are no respectable families here. Come over here quickly, and I won't shortchange you a single penny!"

"I think a hundred coins is the most I can offer. Everyone here should get a share. It's a small profit, but we can make a lot of money!"

The tavern owner was a thin man who looked sickly. Hearing the insult, he lowered his head and remained silent, fiddling with his abacus, occasionally glancing up at the wine barrels on the counter.

The freckled woman showed no shame or indignation. She gently placed the signature drinks on the shore, then reached out for money, her eyes fixed on the handsome profile of the young man.

"Three hundred coins, sir, that seems expensive. Don't try to renege on your debt."

Ah Da got up and took out his money.

Jiang He picked up the crude liquor and took a sip.

Most of the liquors around the Lanjiang River in the north are called Lanjiu. In the Xiabian River area, the name is even more extravagant, called "Qingzhou". And along the Fen River, the name of the local signature liquor is easy to guess: Zhiliujiu, which has a refreshing taste.

The freckled woman took a few strings of copper coins and reluctantly returned to the tavern. A pair of calloused hands approached her, accompanied by increasingly blatant teasing.

Wow!

The river surface rippled again.

A crimson glint appeared, and the tavern fell silent instantly. Everyone stared at the legendary Fen River Red Carp, and just looking at it made their blood boil.

"Do it!"

"Gentlemen, please give me some face. I'm so old and frail. If I don't get the red carp, I'll have to fight to the death."

"Brothers, let's charge together!"

Thirty-odd martial arts masters, each with a fierce glint in their eyes, knew that the Fen River red carp was a great tonic for replenishing qi and blood, and was of great benefit to martial artists in shaping their martial arts state. It was considered one of the best supplements for breaking through from the second realm to the third realm. Even if it was of no benefit to cultivation, it would still be worth a fortune if sold.

Tables and chairs were overturned all over the ground, and the sound of swords being drawn echoed. But at that moment, the freckled woman wiped off her mask, revealing an extremely beautiful face. She stretched out her jade-like finger and quickly pointed at the crowd.

"Down! Down! Down!"

Boom boom boom!

The numbing agent in the drinks took effect, and almost all thirty-odd people collapsed and fainted at the same time. The freckled woman directly crushed the skulls of the man and the scarred man.

She skillfully unzipped everyone's pants, then, wielding a wrist knife, castrated each of the men present. Finally, she stuffed the long strips into a barrel of wine to soak, cursing incessantly throughout the process.

The sickly landlord finally showed a slight smile.

"Thank you for your trouble, Madam. The essence of a martial artist's blood and qi surpasses that of a tiger or leopard. As for the female warriors, lock them all in the dungeon."

The freckled woman sneered, "Isn't having one beauty ranked fifth on the Rouge List enough? One after another, do you think I'm dead?"

The sickly landlord chuckled and said, "That one is a piece of trash that Daoist Yunxia has taken a liking to. How could I dare to touch it? Elder Daoshan will come to pick it up later. This time, he might even bestow upon her the Yin-Yang Technique that allows her to advance to the fourth realm."

Both of them are currently stuck at the peak of the third realm. If they can become sub-heroes, they will be well-known figures in the martial arts world. There are countless Daoist lineages in Yunxia Daoshan. Among them, the progress of the orthodox method of replenishing the body is the fastest. Daozi is only of age 18, but he is already a master of the third realm. He is recognized by the world as having exceptional talent.

The freckled woman suddenly sneered: "You wait in line behind Daozi, but I can't get any benefits from Mi Qianshang. The Fen River carp is mine, but most importantly, I want to raise that young master by the river and enjoy him."

The sickly owner looked conflicted. The value of the Fen River carp was self-evident, but this was a crucial moment to obtain the inheritance, and he didn't want to fall out with his wife.

Wow!

While the two sides were locked in a stalemate, Jiang He, who thought she had been poisoned by Boiling Anesthetic, casually threw the red carp back into the river.

Xie Anan's eyes showed some regret, but this red carp was indeed of no use to the emperor. The legendary ancient dragon, which symbolized the ultimate strength, had blood and energy like a vast ocean.

As for selling it for silver, that's just a joke. The only pity is that the red carp is said to taste quite good, but the emperor usually likes to drink, so he only takes a small bite of even the most delicious dishes.

"How dare you!" The sickly landlord was furious upon seeing this.

The freckled woman's expression was equally unpleasant, and she said fiercely, "It seems we need to train her first."

The two attacked simultaneously, as the three people by the river were clearly not simple. The sickly owner pulled out a long knife from under the counter and unleashed a secret sword light filled with disease. The freckled woman extended her palms forward, and a mist far superior to the boiling and dispersing aura swept out.

Xie Anan was full of admiration. The weaker a being is, the harder it is for them to perceive the emperor's strength.

Jiang He didn't even turn her head. She flicked her fingers backward and released a trace of power from the Authority of Power, which directly stirred up a violent storm. A torrent of immense power swept out and instantly submerged the two secret techniques.

boom!

In an instant, the couple from the three realms were reduced to dust, and the entire tavern was razed to the ground.

Jiang He put away his silver fishing rod. He had previously activated his destiny to strip away the destiny of the powerful figures he had killed, and then used the legendary secret technique, Destiny, to make this destiny return to him. Next, the power of destiny would gradually lead him to meet the powerful figures again.

Considering their relative status and proximity, the Twilight Powers are the most likely candidates, since Dongyongzhou is a key location for flood control.

The tavern was destroyed, revealing the dungeon below. A large group of women rushed out, all of them young and beautiful in their own way. One of them was stunningly beautiful and aloof, with a cultivation level of the third realm. She looked around and saw the young man on the riverbank, her pupils slightly contracting.

Origin player Mi Qianshang has a raw charm of nine points, ranking fifth on the Rouge Ranking of the Nine Streams Sect, second only to "Flawless Jade", a wheelchair-bound person with disabilities in both legs.

"The eldest daughter of the Mi family greets... Your Majesty." Mi Qianshang silently bowed her head. The world of Zhulu was not the present world. Here, the emperor of Southern Liang, who ruled the world, could decide the life and death of almost anyone. She was not so stubborn as to remain arrogant.

“The Mi family.” Jiang He pondered for a moment and said, “The Mi family, one of the six great families of Jiangnan, why don’t you come to the backyard?”

Mi Qianshang was speechless. She had already lost one of her Seven Absolute Body Techniques due to the epidemic, and if she had drunk the legendary clan-annihilation wine in person, she probably wouldn't have been able to save her even if she had several lives.

call!

As if sensing the strange change in the tavern, Elder Yunxia, ​​who had been unhurried, rushed over, surrounded by rolling white clouds.

"Who are you? State your name!" Elder Yunxia shouted angrily from afar, her hair and beard flying wildly. The sickly couple were guest elders who did dirty work for Daoshan. In the territory of Dongyongzhou, no one had the right to challenge the authority of Daoshan.

Chapter 594 The Great Powers, Huo Liuhou

It is located twenty li west of Dongyongzhou City.

A majestic mountain sits here, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. When the evening glow appears, the entire sea of ​​clouds looks like flowing silk, a truly magnificent sight.

Meanwhile, halfway up the mountain, a grand martial arts ceremony was being held. Similar competitions have become increasingly common recently, with aspiring martial arts leaders and those preparing for higher positions within the martial arts alliance striving to build their reputations.

Right now, on the arena.

A young man dressed in a colorful Taoist robe is dancing, and the official hat on his head is clearly that of a fifth-rank official of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As the rhythmic yet slightly comical dance began, the challenger on the other side of the ring was forced to mimic the movements. Even after the young man stopped, the challenger continued to dance violently, his face gradually turning terrified.

The young man stepped forward and, with a smile on his face, kicked him off the stage.

"Huo Liuhou wins!" Elder Wu Ping shouted.

The thousands of spectators were all in a state of unease. This was Huo Liuhou's 120th consecutive victory. As a martial artist of the same level as the Golden Peak, he had been fighting a series of battles since yesterday, defeating 120 enemies of the same level one after another.

The process is extremely easy, and the amount of true energy consumed each time is negligible. No matter who the challenger's master is, the result is only defeat. It can be described as invincible among those of the same realm.

In a short while, without giving Huo Liuhou any time to rest, the first disciple of the Daode Sect stepped onto the arena to challenge.

On the surrounding stands, a young monk silently chanted Buddhist mantras.

“Golden Age powerful life forms have no chance of winning against anything below the level of sub-hero. Even if Huo Liuhou possesses the power of dance, it is the same. He forces the target to imitate his own movements, and after one set, it starts to cycle. It looks quite comical, but it is an irresistible strong control.”

"Moreover, the scope of the power of dance is obviously not limited to individuals, nor is it limited to living beings."

The young monk sent the information to several allied Origin players, among whom Chu Fuqiang was using his connections to search for the missing Mi Qianshang. As a general of the Southern Liang Golden Guard, he knew several commanders of the Night Guard.

boom!

The disciple of the Moral Sect rolled off the stage. His "unique skill" level combat power and the first disciple's techniques and weapons were still meaningless in front of the powerful forces. He was defeated in two moves.

"Huo Liuhou wins!" Elder Wu Ping shouted.

Huo Liuhou jumped off the arena, and a young, handsome man in a Taoist robe came over and had his attendant hand him some cool honey water. This Daoist Yunxia smiled warmly and said:

“My worthy brother is truly invincible. I am no match for him. As long as you are willing to register your name at Yunxia Daoshan, I will personally visit the sect leader to persuade him to help with the flood control. In addition, there is another generous gift. I have already asked a capable elder to fetch it. There will be no surprises.”

Yunxia Daozi smiled cryptically. Even he was tempted by the fifth-ranked beauty on the Rouge Ranking serving as a concubine. The Mi family had already been reduced to bones in a tomb and could no longer provide protection for its members.

"I'll leave it all to you, Brother Dao. Consider the victory in seven days as a token of my gratitude for your sect's assistance." Huo Liuhou bowed respectfully. Yunxia Daoshan wanted to salvage its reputation by recovering from the loss of the Nine Dragon Sword, while he wanted to control the floods. The two sides were undoubtedly a perfect match.

Yunxia Daozi laughed heartily, the jealousy in his eyes disappearing. He knew that even though they were both at the third realm, he was no match for the other party. This invincible demeanor was obvious to all.

"Challenge 122, begin!"

Huo Liuhou stepped onto the arena, only to see a young man dressed in a bright red dragon robe, whose face gradually turned pale.

"You are..." Huo Liuhou's lips began to tremble uncontrollably.

Jiang He calmly said, "What a coincidence, we are both at the peak of the Gold level. Why don't we have a contest? As for my name, it's quite ordinary. Just call me Jiang Wuyang."

boom!

Elder Yunxia was thrown to the ground alive. The dignified sub-hero was smashed into a bloody mist, leaving no trace of his body.

Elder Wu Ping stood there, stunned and incredulous.

Yunxia Daozi was at a loss. Jiang Wuyang, if he remembered correctly, should be the name of the emperor of Southern Liang.

The entire mountainside was deathly silent. The second-best person in the world had personally arrived at Yunxia Daoshan. His chilling and ruthless aura sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers. Faced with an unparalleled powerhouse who could wipe out everyone present at any moment, the best course of action was to remain motionless.

Unfortunately, this did not include the emperor's objective for this trip.

Huo Liuhou turned and ran, his power of dance falling on the enemy. The mysterious force urged Jiang He to take a step in the opposite direction, but the power was like shaking a mountain; he didn't budge an inch.

call!

Jiang He arrived behind Huo Liuhou and threw a punch. The fist energy shattered the three layers of defense that suddenly appeared, destroyed an epic-level defensive item and a heavy armor of the same level, and hit Huo Liuhou squarely in the back.

Boom!

Huo Liuhou exploded.

The King of the Era can suppress powerful life forms with a single move.

Whoosh!

In the surrounding stands, the challenger who had been defeated last time suddenly twitched. The power of dance had essentially assimilated his soul, and any living being that had entered the cycle of dance would become a vessel for the soul of this twilight power to parasitize.

Without the slightest hesitation, Huo Liuhou continued to flee, his face filled with terror. The Overlord was already an unbelievable level of power, but according to Huanghun's hint, Mo Ke was now the unheard-of Golden King, only lacking a formal coronation ceremony. As a powerful figure, he had been reduced to fleeing in a sorry state with just one move, which was simply too outrageous.

Most importantly, the more substantial the accumulation of wealth in the same era, the more significant the overall strength will be after a comprehensive upgrade when the era advances. The gap between the king and the great powers will only become more and more obvious. If one only focuses on hasty advancement, even the great powers will eventually fall from their pedestal.

Jiang He stared in the direction Huo Liuhou had fled.

The next moment, boundless black light spread across most of Yunxia Mountain.

The power of rage, after being reversed, gave birth to the sub-legendary skill, Extraordinary Apocalypse. In non-attack mode, a black light shrouds the area, prohibiting any extraordinary beings.

Huo Liuhou turned around with a face full of despair. His soul could no longer escape through the container unless he left this special area, but the speed of the Golden King far exceeded his own.

boom!

Jiang He blasted Huo Liuhou to death in close combat.
