Chapter 355: Beheading the Holy King

Just as Li Zhi began to travel around the ancient star of Tianbing.

An old man with a timid mind and a dull face arrived in the huge human city ruled by the Great Sage Lin Han, exhausted.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened." In the residence of the Great Sage Lin Han, an old man who seemed to be a sage who had attained enlightenment through sea turtles met the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

"Old turtle, what happened? Why are you so flustered? How disgraceful." The Dragon King of the South China Sea looked like a majestic middle-aged man. He wore a black dragon robe with gold threads and a black dragon crown on his head. He had a strong aura and a deep dragon power. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was ambushed while he was undergoing the tribulation, and died in the thunder tribulation." The old turtle said in a panic.

“What, the Black Dragon fell under the heavenly calamity? This is impossible. With his qualifications and accumulation, how could he fall under the heavenly calamity? Explain it to me clearly.” The Dragon King of the South China Sea’s face suddenly changed.

"Your Majesty, three days ago, when I was guarding the prince, I discovered a saint who came to the Dragon Palace to steal treasures, and then I was lured away for a while. But when I was away for a short while, His Highness unexpectedly made a breakthrough and had to leave the Dragon Palace to transcend the tribulation." The old turtle told the Dragon King of the South China Sea everything he knew.

“Are you sure my son fell into the heavenly calamity?” said the Dragon King of the South China Sea with a murderous look on his face.

"I am sure that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell under the heavenly calamity, but I also captured the breath of Jingkong, the young master of the Demon Whale Clan who escaped that year, in the sea area where the Crown Prince underwent the calamity." said the old turtle.

"Jing Kong? Could it be that he has come back to seek revenge?" There was a hint of murderous intent in the eyes of the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

"Come on, follow me to ask King Jinpeng for clarification." Then, the Dragon King of the South China Sea said.

Not long after, Great Sage Lin Han received the news and came to greet the Dragon King of the South China Sea to ask if he needed help from the Lin clan.

However, the Dragon King of the South China Sea declined Lin Han's help and said goodbye to the old turtle and left.

Half a day later, they arrived at a mountain range in the south of the continent that was filled with the atmosphere of war.

There are some plants with a metallic luster growing in the mountains, which are very different from other places.

However, on each peak of the mountain range, people built metal palaces one after another. Those palaces exuded a rich golden aura, and seemed to have gathered the military aura between heaven and earth.

This place is where the Golden Peng clan lives. The clan leader is a golden-winged Peng bird that is famous even on the Tianbing Ancient Star.

King Jinpeng's cultivation is comparable to that of the South China Sea Dragon King, both are in the late stage of the Saint King realm.

Although the Dragon King of the South China Sea is very powerful, he does not dare to venture into this mountain range filled with murderous aura, because there is a terrifying killing formation inside that can make the Great Sage bleed.

"King Jinpeng, come out here." The Dragon King of the South China Sea stood outside the mountain range and roared angrily towards the inside.

The huge roar caused chaos in the energy of heaven and earth here, the laws of the universe were disrupted, and many people from the Peng clan were affected.

Then, a tall and strong blond man with a terrifying golden glow all over his body walked out from the palace at the highest point.

At the same time, overwhelming golden light pressed towards the Dragon King of the South China Sea, as if every ray of golden light was transformed from a sword energy that could slay gods and destroy demons.

"Old loach, you dare to act wildly in my territory, aren't you afraid that I will eat you?" The fierce murderous intent came out of the mouth of King Jinpeng. King Jinpeng and King Hainan Dragon did not seem to get along.

"Back then, I was kind enough to spare the life of your son-in-law. But he didn't know what was good for him, and took advantage of my son's tribulation to plot against him, causing my son to fall under the heavenly tribulation. Now hand over Jingkong, otherwise don't blame me for turning against you and killing you." The Dragon King of the South China Sea said with a murderous look on his face.

“Hmph! Old loach, you want to kill people in my territory? Just kill one and see. If you dare to kill someone from my Peng clan today, I will destroy your South China Sea Dragon Palace tomorrow. Don’t think that you can stand up straight and have a backer just because that human Lin Han has become a great sage. I tell you, Lin Han is far inferior to him. If Senior Fire Crow had not had time to pay attention to those human saint kings, how could he allow the human race to give birth to a second great sage?” said King Golden Peng.

"This is a matter between you and me. It has nothing to do with the human race. Don't talk nonsense." The Dragon King of the South China Sea frowned slightly, as if he didn't want to involve a figure at the level of a great sage, and then continued: "If you don't hand over Jingkong today, don't blame me for completely exterminating the South China Sea Demon Whale Clan."

"You dare." King Jinpeng said angrily.

Although the Peng people on the ancient star of Tianbing practiced the spirit of war, which made their combat power extremely powerful, their excessive murderous aura was very depleting of their lifespan, and they needed the softest force to harmonize the hardest force in their bodies.

The South China Sea Demon Whale Clan, on the other hand, practices the Great Way of Softness, which complements their Golden Peng Clan.

After the two sides combine, there is even a chance to cultivate the legendary Kunpeng divine form.

A hundred years ago, King Jinpeng married his most beloved daughter to the young master of the Demon Whale Clan.

But fifty years ago, in order to fight for hegemony over the South China Sea, the chief of the Demon Whale Clan was killed in the deep sea by the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

As a result, King Jinpeng lost a fellow Taoist who was equally matched with him and with whom he could practice dual cultivation.

This led to tensions between the Dragon Clan and the Peng Clan in the South China Sea.

“I was able to kill the old devil whale back then, and now I can send you, a mixed-up bird, to see him.” The Dragon King of the South China Sea said coldly.

"Okay, that's great. Old Loach, I have long wanted to learn the "Mysterious Water Dragon Skill" of your Black Dragon clan. Today I'll see whether your dragon scales are strong or my sword is sharp." King Jinpeng had a murderous look on his face, and a golden holy sword immediately appeared in his hand.

The Dragon King of the South China Sea also summoned his natal magic weapon, a dark halberd covered with dragon patterns.

It seems that a great war between saints and kings is about to begin.

At this moment, in another palace in another Jinge Mountain Range, a half-saint level Peng bird suddenly transformed into its original form and rushed out of the hall.

"Your Majesty, something has happened to Her Royal Highness the Princess." With a flash of golden light, the old Peng bird landed directly beside King Golden Peng and said with a look of panic on its face.

"Something happened to Ling'er? What happened to Ling'er?" The murderous aura on King Jinpeng's body solidified slightly.

“Your Majesty, just now my subordinates went to the Temple of Life to check the soul lamps of Her Royal Highness the Princess and Her Royal Highness the Prince Consort, and found that their soul lamps were all extinguished.” said the old Peng bird.

"What, my beloved daughter is dead?" King Jinpeng's hair fluttered, and a terrifying murderous aura burst out from him.

Then he pointed his sword at the Dragon King of the South China Sea and shouted, "Old loach, you dared to kill my beloved daughter, give me your life."

After hearing this, the Dragon King of the South China Sea was slightly stunned, then he waved his halberd and fought with the Golden Roc King.

"You old bastard, stop first. My prince is dead, and your daughter is also dead. The most important thing for us now is to find the real culprit, rather than fighting each other here." The Dragon King of the South China Sea persuaded while fighting with the King of the Golden Roc.

"One hundred and eighty thousand God-killing Swords."

King Jinpeng would not listen to the words of the Dragon King of the South China Sea. In anger, he directly unleashed his terrifying sword attack technique.

One hundred and eight thousand terrifying golden sword auras exuded an artistic conception of slaughtering all living things, and seemed to be somewhat similar to the murderous aura emitted by the killing sword left behind by Lingbao Tianzun.

The terrifying sword energy filled the sky. The Dragon King of the South China Sea showed signs of being unable to resist, and his body was covered with wounds.

"Tianpeng binds the dragon, kill!"

Then, the Golden Peng King revealed his true form, a huge Peng bird, with two wings that were golden without a trace of other colors, but there was a patch of gray feathers on his back, which made him look like his bloodline was not as pure as the old Golden Winged Peng King on the ancient Beidou Star.

However, his cultivation at the Saint King level made up for the defect of King Jinpeng's impure bloodline.

A divine claw reached out to the Dragon King of the South China Sea and directly broke the halberd in his hand.

Seeing the halberd in his hand break, a trace of horror flashed in the eyes of the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

Then the dragon's true form appeared and it started fighting with King Golden Roc.

At this time, the South China Sea Dragon King's Taoism seemed to be a little weaker than that of the Golden Roc King, and was at an absolute disadvantage.

But just when the Dragon King of the South China Sea was about to be severely damaged by the Golden Peng King, a human suddenly appeared on the spot and knocked the Golden Peng King back with one palm.

The Great Sage's aura was so strong that King Jinpeng dared not continue his attack.

"Lin Han, why are you coming here to stop me when you are not enjoying your blessings in your Lin City?" After King Jinpeng transformed back into a human form, he looked at Lin Han in front of him with fear.

There is a huge gap between the Great Sage and the Sage King, which cannot be made up by the Golden Roc King's cultivation.

"Fellow Daoist Jinpeng, I have just heard some clues about the conflict between you and fellow Daoist Heilong. Now you two should stop fighting for the time being. What if someone is secretly trying to push for a fight between your two tribes? If you fight here, you will fall into the enemy's trap." Great Sage Lin Han said earnestly.

Later, with Lin Han's mediation, King Jinpeng temporarily stopped fighting with the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

Let’s go to the depths of the South China Sea to find the truth.

After returning to the mansion, Lin Han immediately summoned important members of the Lin family.

"Father, is there something that has made you call us together in such a hurry?" After everyone gathered, Lin Ling, the daughter of the Great Sage Lin Han, asked.

"Again, those undergoing trials from outside the domain have come to the Ancient Star of Heavenly Soldiers. You should not go out recently." Great Sage Lin Han said in a serious tone.

"Grandpa, what happened? Is there a existence that even you are afraid of?" asked Lin Han's granddaughter Wang Xi.

"It's not clear yet. I used the Great Saint's divine sense to search for him, but I couldn't find any trace of him. However, the prince of the Dragon King of the South China Sea died, and the daughter and son-in-law of the Golden Roc King also died. This is not an ordinary thing." Lin Han had just been promoted to the Great Saint realm and cleared the enemy. He didn't want to be plotted against at this time. He knew that because he successfully promoted to the Great Saint, he had destroyed the balance of power on the ancient star. Although the original three Great Saints did not express their opinions, the forces under their command might not tolerate the Lin clan overpowering them.

Moreover, Lin Han's intuition told him that it would not be long before a shocking change would occur on the Ancient Heavenly Soldiers Star.

There was a vague sense of great fear lingering in his heart.

At the same time, Li Zhi also entered the continental hinterland of Tianbing Ancient Star from the south coast.

Along the way, he met many human and foreign monks above the saint level.

Almost every time you cross a territory of more than 100,000 miles, you can encounter one or two saint-level masters.

The number of saints and holy beasts is simply outrageous.

But on second thought, it seems that the scale of having these saints is quite reasonable.

In the ancient times, during the prosperous period of the ancient star Beidou, almost every larger race would give birth to a saint-level ancestor king.

Judging from the number of ancestral kings of the ancient myriad races, it can be found that if the suppression of the Great Dao on the Ancient Star of Beidou completely disappears, the number of saints will be ten times or even a hundred times that of the Ancient Star of Tianbing.

That is to say, the great Dao of the Big Dipper world is so severely suppressed that saints appear so precious. In fact, the number of saints on any normal ancient star that is in its prosperous period will not be scarce.

The truly rare one is the Great Sage.

The most difficult thing is to cross from the realm of Saint King to the realm of Great Sage.

Along the way, sacred mountains and beautiful waters can be seen everywhere, surrounded by fairy mist, waterfalls and flowing springs, the scenery is beautiful and the spiritual energy is misty.

Everywhere is Taoist land, and every mountain is a holy place.

There are many red cliffs and ancient cypresses, which naturally gather the rhythm of heaven and earth. If you sit cross-legged on them and listen carefully, you can hear the roar of the Tao. It is like someone chanting scriptures. It is easy to fall into a deep state of enlightenment. Over time, day by day, it will be difficult for your Taoism not to improve.

Whenever Li Zhi passed by a place where the Dao rhyme converged, he would stop and comprehend the Dao of heaven and earth.

The more Li Zhi understood the world on the Ancient Star of Tianbing, the more he was convinced that the prosperous environment for cultivation here was related to the active substances remaining in the Tianzun Immortal Platform.

If all the fortune in the fairy platform is sucked away by the Golden Crow Divine Egg, it is unknown whether the Ancient Star of Heavenly Soldiers can continue to prosper in the future.

Li Zhi was not in a hurry to find the underground world where the Tianzun Immortal Platform was located, because he was not sure whether the Fire Crow Great Sage, who was considered the most powerful saint on the Ancient Star of Heavenly Soldiers, had left with the Golden Crow Divine Egg.

After wandering around the Tianbing Ancient Star for more than two months, Li Zhi slowly came to an extremely sacred and vast ancient vein.

The ancient veins are the ancient mountains on the Tianbing Ancient Star. It is a sacred ancient land with towering cliffs and towering old trees everywhere. The mountains are majestic and continuous.

The mountains are majestic, and many giant ridges rise into the sky, tens of thousands of feet high, surrounded by chaotic energy, like a primordial land, and there can be heard the roar of the avenue.

This is the area where Tianzun’s forehead is located, and it is also the area leading to the secret realm of Tianzun’s immortal platform.

Sitting here and comprehending the great Dao makes one feel intoxicated and as if one has arrived in the fairyland.

In this ancient vein that stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, the aura of saints can be seen everywhere.

Within Li Zhi's perception alone, he discovered dozens of saintly auras of varying strengths.

Sitting cross-legged on a mountain surrounded by chaotic energy, Li Zhi's body became one with the Tao and he began to capture the deepest level of the Heavenly Venerable Dao.

The trace of the secret of the word "zuo" emerged in Li Zhi's mind, and gradually showed a trend of continuing to grow.

This allowed Li Zhi to have a deeper understanding of formations, talismans, and Taoist patterns, and his formation skills gradually surpassed the barriers of formation masters and reached the level of formation grandmasters.

In his eyes, the innate patterns and veins of the heaven and earth faintly appeared.

Unfortunately, he did not capture the mysterious aura emanating from the Tianzun Immortal Platform.

The Fire Crow Great Sage seemed to have deployed a lot of defensive forces there.

In the blink of an eye, Li Zhi had been sitting there gaining enlightenment for three months.

On this day, the Dragon King of the South China Sea and the Golden Roc King suddenly appeared in front of Li Zhi together.

"It turns out that it was the human trial-taker who was doing this in secret. It was you who killed my son?" The Dragon King of the South China Sea looked at Li Zhi with murderous intent, as if he wanted to eat Li Zhi alive.

At the top of the sacred mountain, Li Zhi, who was surrounded by chaotic energy, saw the Dragon King of the South China Sea and the Golden Roc King, and a star gate immediately appeared in front of him.

Then he entered the star gate.

"Go there." Upon seeing this, King Jinpeng immediately swung his sword towards the star gate.

"I am waiting for you two outside the domain."

At the moment the star gate was shattered, Li Zhi's voice came from inside the star gate.

Then, King Jinpeng and the Dragon King of the South China Sea rushed out of the territory together.

"Human Trialist, you killed my child, now give me your life."

In recent months, many human trial participants have landed on the Tianbing Ancient Star from the 30th checkpoint of the Ancient Road, making the ancient star a bit messy.

Many sacred beasts were killed by the trial-takers, many clan territories were conquered by the trial-takers, and the trial-takers seized many fortunes from the ancient star.

As the first major clan to collude with the trial-takers, the Lin clan faced great pressure.

Fortunately, with the help of Ye Fan, Lin Han was successfully promoted to the Great Sage, and was able to protect the Lin clan.

Even so, many forces have directed their attacks against the Lin clan.

They were the first to cooperate with the trial-takers on the ancient human road and disrupt the local balance.

As a result, after those who came later learned about what Saint Body Ye Fan had done on the Ancient Star of Heavenly Soldiers, they began to follow suit.

Although they did not dare to take action against those forces that had the Great Sage, they were ruthless in dealing with those forces that did not have the Great Sage.

Because of the reasons of heaven and earth, the cultivators of the same level on the Ancient Star of Heavenly Soldiers are three points weaker than those cultivators who have fought bloody battles on the ancient road.

This led to one tragedy after another.

After Ye Fan and his companions left, more than a dozen saint-level warriors were killed by later trial-takers on the Tianbing Ancient Star in just half a year.

This caused panic among the people of Guxing.

Outside the Tianbing Ancient Star, deep in the outer space, when Li Zhi learned from the Dragon King of the South China Sea and the Golden Peng King about the various events that had happened on the Tianbing Ancient Star and were related to the trialists, he sighed in his heart: "The Tianbing Ancient Star is indeed a place for training soldiers."

The strong men here seem to be numerous, but once it is turned into an ancient trial star, those strong men are nothing more than whetstones for the human race's ancient road trialists.

One day later, Li Zhi returned to Tianbing Ancient Star alone.

As for the Dragon King of the South China Sea and the Golden Peng King, they naturally became the souls killed by Li Zhi.

Afterwards, the collections of the South China Sea Dragon Palace and the Golden Peng Clan became Li Zhi's spoils of war.

Sitting in his own home, Great Sage Lin Han, after sensing the death of the Dragon King of the South China Sea, sighed: "It is really fate."

He had no intention of taking revenge for the Dragon King of the South China Sea.

Just recently, the protector of the ancient human road had officially informed him that he must not take action against the trial-takers who came to the Ancient Star of Heavenly Soldiers for training.

Otherwise, the ancient road law enforcers will appear and enforce the law.

In addition to Lin Han, the powerful man who had just been promoted to the Great Sage, the other two Great Sages on the ancient star were also notified.

Only the Fire Crow Great Sage was not warned by the protectors of the ancient human road, because they could not find any trace of the Fire Crow Great Sage.

Moreover, the Fire Crow Great Sage kept a low profile and did not leave any inheritance on the Ancient Heavenly Soldiers Star.
