Paradise of Demonic Gods-Chapter 1132: Strife

At this moment, the Central Continent, the entire world, and all sorts of past and future appeared extremely clearly in Fang Xingjian’s eyes. The entire world’s history was also developing at an accelerated rate.

After Tang Xian and Huang Shan received the legacies, they immediately started to train in seclusion. The two of them comprehended the martial arts together, improving in leaps and bounds with the help of their cultivation at tier six of the Divine level. Once they discovered the Nine-Tiered Heavens, they immediately attained a breakthrough to tier seven of the Divine level.

However, after heading to different parallel worlds and going through different experiences and ways of cultivations, they started to have different understandings toward Fang Xingjian’s martial techniques and began deviating from each other.

This deviation became increasingly great as their cultivation improved. In the end, whenever they could not come to a conclusion in their discussions, they would end up fighting to prove who was the stronger of the two.

However, as top-notch tier seven Divine level experts, both of them were proud individuals. Furthermore, after discovering that the door between the higher and lower realms had disappeared, they started to have the thoughts that there were no one else in the world but them who could take on the responsibility of handling the world. Therefore, they were even more unwilling to lower their heads and admit their wrongs.

This led to multiple fights between the two of them, and the friction between them kept worsening. Finally, after one huge battle, the two of them went their separate ways.

Then while Tang Xian and Huang Shan were training in seclusion and striving for tier seven of the Divine level, Zhao Hao and Concubine Shu were also improving at a tremendous rate.

This was especially so for Zhao Hao. To begin with, he was a rare martial art talent that was hard to find even in a thousand years, and he was even able to create the Son of Heaven’s Dragon Punch—a great fist technique that could condense Dragon Qi. His martial art talent was not to be underestimated.

After obtaining Fang Xingjian’s martial art legacies, he was like a tiger that was given wings or a fish in the water. He let go of all matters concerning the imperial court and fully focused on training in seclusion. Following his fight against Concubine Shu this time around, he understood how important strength was and recognized how his strength was insufficient.

Moreover, the world had started to seethe, and the disciples of the various immortal sects in the higher realm—who had been sent to the Central Continent—started to create trouble, snatching resources and wealth. Without sufficient strength, it was impossible to suppress the disciples from these sects.

A high-ranking official was killed, the herdsmen in the north rebelled, the tribal leaders in the south revolted, and the number of bandits increased. After receiving support from the Immortal sects’ disciples and extorting their resources continuously, many reputable clans started to watch the chaos take place without interfering. Even with all these things happening, Zhao Hao still did not come out from his seclusion.

After three whole months of chaos raging through the world and countless disciples from the immortal sects discovering that the entrance between the two realms had disappeared, things quickly took a change for the worse. They became increasingly less reserved.

There would occasionally be disciples from the immortal sects killing the imperial court’s officials, declaring themselves to be rulers of a terrain, or massacring wealthy and powerful clans. There was even an incident when the Great Solar Sect’s disciples killed a region’s superintendent, plundered the Depository Office, and took away half a year’s worth of the entire western region’s tributes.

The entire world seethed, and the people were terror-stricken. However, Zhao Hao continued to stay in his secret chamber and train in seclusion.

It had been a very, very long time since Zhao Hao had focused on his cultivation like this. Given his aptitude, even if he usually had to manage the balance with subordinates and take charge of the world, his cultivation still improved at a tremendous rate despite only placing aside a small part of his energy into cultivation.

Now that he was fully focused on cultivating, the effects were even more apparent.

Furthermore, Fang Xingjian’s legacies were too complete and systematic that they served as perfect guidance s to cultivators on how they should gradually strive their way up from tier one to tier seven of the Divine level. This was an even greater help to Zhao Hao.

Therefore, three months later, bandits surged across the lands and many immortal sects’ disciples had declared themselves to be rulers of certain territories. At this point, Zhao Hao finally came out from his seclusion. Right now, he had already passed through many tiers of the Nine-Tiered Heavens and reached all the way to tier five of the Divine level.

From the many martial art legacies, Zhao Hao liked and was most engrossed in the Royal Heavenly Great Art and Ascendant Heavenly Seal. He combined them with his Son of Heaven’s Dragon Punch and created the Heavenly Emperor’s Dragon Fist. One could tell from the name of this new martial technique that Zhao Hao’s ambitions were very great.

After receiving Fang Xingjian’s martial art legacies and realizing that the higher realm was nowhere to be found, the feelings of ambition in Zhao Hao’s heart burned fiercely like flames.

Following his exit from seclusion, he cleaned up the world. Using his tier five Divine level cultivation and his great martial technique the Heavenly Emperor’s Dragon Fist, ordinary immortal sect disciples were not his match. After killing 12 immortal sect disciples ranging from tier two to tier five of the Divine level experts, Zhao Hao’s reputation took the world by storm, and the situation calmed down.

Throughout the entire process, he obtained the martial techniques and resources from various higher realm’s immortal sects and started to strive for tier six of the Divine level.

After he eradicated the immortal sects’ disciples, the remaining members from the immortal sects united and planned on killing Zhao Hao before splitting the world between themselves.

Relying on Fang Xingjian’s martial art legacies, Concubine Shu entered training in seclusion for several months and also reached tier five of the Divine level. She became the strongest amongst the immortal sects’ disciples and focused on the Seven Emotions Sword and the Heart Sword Path in Fang Xingjian’s martial art legacies.

With her absolute strength and the powers that the Seven Emotions Sword and Heart Sword Path possessed in grasping people’s hearts, Concubine Shu used a series of means to deploy schemes and tricks. Then she quickly gathered all the immortal sects’ disciples under her control. She founded the Myriad Immortals Association and led everyone to fight against Zhao Hao.

As the battle continued on, the killings between both sides became increasingly intense. Although the Myriad Immortals Association had many Divine level experts, none of them—Concubine Shu included—were a match for Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao’s Heavenly Emperor’s Dragon Fist gathered the Dragon Qi and the wills of the people from a large part of the Central Continent. His punches and kicks all contained a copious amount of power that was hard to fend off. He managed to suppress the Myriad Immortals Association single-handedly. However, as the Myriad Immortals Association had many members, Zhao Hao did not wipe them out completely at one go in order to avoid bringing danger to the citizens.

This went on for half a year later until he attained another breakthrough, reaching tier six of the Divine level.

With a single Heavenly Emperor’s Dragon Fist attack, the entire Myriad Immortals Association was annihilated. Several tens of Divine level experts were either killed or subdued, and Concubine Shu was captured alive back to the palace where Zhao Hao suppressed her personally.

With that, the world settled down and the people’s will was united once again. Zhao Hao’s Heavenly Emperor’s Dragon Fist also got increasingly deeper and more unfathomable. Seething Dragon Qi circled ceaselessly around his body, connecting his will with the people’s will together. Each and every one of his moves influenced the entire world.

It was at this moment that Tang Xian and Huang Shan had gone their separate ways. The former continued to focus on his cultivation while the latter arrived in the palace, wanting to take control over Zhao Hao.

Huang Shan thought that, with his cultivation at tier seven of the Divine level, he would be able to crush Zhao Hao and easily take control of him. After all, those who reached tier seven of the Divine level gained the ability to accelerate time.

However, he had not expected that, despite Zhao Hao’s cultivation being only at tier six of the Divine level, his Heavenly Emperor’s Dragon Fist had already reached an unbelievable realm because he had unified the world and gained the hearts of the people. Even when Huang Shan released his full prowess, he was unable to break through the defense of Zhao Hao’s Heavenly Palace.

The fight between the two of them continued on, and the entire imperial capital’s atmosphere was vaporized completely as a result of their battle. Countless citizens were exposed to the radiation from the starry sky, and on this day, the imperial capital suffered a great number of casualties.

Although Huang Shan was unable to break through Zhao Hao’s defenses, Zhao Hao was also unable to truly defeat Huang Shan, who was capable of time acceleration.
