Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 1154 - 411: Heavenly Monarchs Clash—Touch and Die (Part 2)

"Good, good..."

Kong Xiao laughed with extreme anger, his hands forming seals, his essence, Qi, and spirit rising to a terrifying peak, suffused with an unparalleled aura, overlooking the world, I Am Supreme.

He summoned a nameless divine seal, stepped down like the Divine Lord traversing the land, gazing down at all beings, delivering a slap intended to return the same humiliation to Ji Jingqiu.

Yet unexpectedly, Ji Jingqiu remained as calm as a still lake, delivering another palm strike, different from the previous one, pressing down from the heavens, akin to the Sleeve Universe, containing a world within the palm, and suffused with the endless Zen essence of Great Purity, Great Wisdom, and Great Bliss.

In just an instant, even Kong Xiao, whose essence, Qi, and spirit had ascended to the peak, felt as insignificant as an ant in the palm.

Behind Kong Xiao, a Peacock Divine Form manifested, taking action for real, its feathers dazzling, Five-Colored Divine Light sweeping across, heavier than billions of jun, transforming into five divine swords, each slashing toward Ji Jingqiu's five descending fingers like Heaven and Earth.

The five swords sounded together, each shaped by divine light, their power beyond measure.

But strangely, the Zen essence contained within this palm made Kong Xiao feel an impotence despite his strength.

But he did not retreat, nor did he want to retreat.

With a furious roar, Kong Xiao forcibly broke through Ji Jingqiu's world within the palm, at the cost of the Purple Gold Crown shattering, his long hair scattered.

Meanwhile, his presence became even more overwhelming, pressing upon the hearts of all, resembling an invincible Heavenly Sword, with an unparalleled Qi Po capable of cutting down all formidable enemies!

This person was indeed the strongest Kong Xiao Ji Jingqiu had ever encountered at the same level.

Just from these two exchanges, the onlooking kings appeared solemn, and someone whispered:

"Kong Xiao underestimated; even before receiving the Killing Tribulation support, he probably touched the threshold of the Heavenly Monarch. With the support of the Killing Tribulation, his strength at the Heavenly Monarch level is formidable."

"Has Qing Zhou Heavenly Monarch not arrived yet? At this moment, only the joint efforts of two Heavenly Monarchs could confidently suppress him!"

As the kings discussed, Ji Jingqiu and Kong Xiao embarked on a life-and-death struggle.

Five-Colored Divine Light swept across the starry sky, brushing aside all without resistance, evolving into Chaos Light, as if opening up the universe, annihilating all tangible things.

Yet Ji Jingqiu countered with Dao Wonders.

At the center of the wonder, a Bodhi Tree connecting heaven and earth stood majestically, its transparent green leaves rustling, as though bearing all Dao, the figure beneath it as still as a boulder.

Amidst it, the Zen essence of the Dao constantly influenced Kong Xiao's Spirit God.

Meanwhile, more powerful figures arrived from all sides, including Zhu Yin, a red-clad youth wielding the Yin Yang Dual Swords, who came from afar.

After parting with his senior brother, he had been tracking Ji Jingqiu and that harbinger of disaster, preparing to capture them and present them directly to Qing Zhou.

Yet on this pursuit, he hadn't been able to find a trace until word from the sect summoned help at the Returning to Truth Temple on Chaohua Mountain, and being nearby, he arrived at once.

From afar, he saw the remarkably iconic Five-Colored Divine Light, belonging to the Heavenly Monarch Kong Xiao from Returning to Truth Temple!

Revered alongside their Mayfly Palace's Qing Zhou and Luo Sheng Heavenly Monarchs, overlooking the entire Heavenly King Domain.

And the opponent, was it... Tribulation Embryo?

Why does it resemble the portrait of Ji Jingqiu provided by the sect?

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to something.

"That is..."

Zhu Yin's pupils shrank abruptly, witnessing deep within the battlefield a drop of blood seemingly containing infinite murderous intent.

"Proof of Killing Tribulation?!"

At this moment, Zhu Yin was shocked, his heart pounding intensely.

He couldn't imagine how such a wondrous item was placed so carelessly in the void?!

He instinctively scanned the void's many observing Heavenly Kings, who were all focused on the battle.

Within Zhu Yin's heart, greed surged.

Having reached the level of an absolute peak Heavenly King, if he could obtain the proof of Killing Tribulation support, he would likely touch the threshold of a Heavenly Monarch, and with intensified killing, a Heavenly Monarch, or even higher levels... lay within reach!

This opportunity, if seized, was truly seeking fortune amidst danger!

Zhu Yin breathed heavily, making an immensely challenging decision.

He wasn't far from the proof of Killing Tribulation, if this were the outside world, it was within reach, and he couldn't bear not to grasp it.

Zhu Yin stealthily entered the void, using something like the Turtle Breath Technique to minimize his presence, cautiously approached, then directly ambushed, seizing the blood drop suspended in the starry sky!

As the proof of Killing Tribulation came into his possession, a majestic Dao Power descended from unimaginable heights, infusing into him, his aura soared, soon touching another realm, his Inner Universe prototype expanding, evolving...

Unprecedented, a joy surpassing reaching the level of an absolute peak Heavenly King filled his chest!

He had truly seized the proof of Killing Tribulation, truly a fortune amidst danger!!

But the vast and boundless murderous intent followed closely, suddenly pouring into his Spirit God, causing Zhu Yin's face to contort as he struggled to resist.

This scene caused an uproar among the distant kings.

Someone dared to seize the proof of Killing Tribulation in the gap between the two Heavenly Monarchs' duel, truly unaware of impending doom!

In the midst of battling, Ji Jingqiu sensed something but didn't even glance, casually flicking out a punch, its force traversing the Milky Way, arriving in front of Zhu Yin before the void collapsed along its path.

Then there was a loud "bang" heard.

The strongmen of various sects saw Zhu Yin, who held the proof of Killing Tribulation, explode into pieces!

Kong Xiao did not intervene in this punch, even firing a Five-Colored Sword Light to utterly annihilate Zhu Yin, who was still trying to cling on.

In the starry sky, a drop of blood containing infinite killing intent once again hovered without falling, but Zhu Yin's presence was gone.
