Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 659 - 551: Patriarch!

"How dare you!"

Daoist Yunxiong and the Elders, deeply aware of the dire consequences that would befall the Shenxiao Sect if the Hell Forest were lost, cried out fiercely to stop the audacious King of Dianchuan standing before them, despite his formidable status as a Primordial Spirit Boss!

"What is there for me to fear?

If it weren't for a bit of respect towards Sect Master Dongfang, just for your tone alone,

I could crush you all."

To slaughter a group of Dao Experts before someone like Gao Tianxiong, a Primordial Spirit True Honor, was as effortless as reaching into a sack.

With a calm glance at Yunxiong and the others, the immense pressure emanating from Gao Tianxiong's eyes caused the Elders' faces to suddenly change, the overwhelming force nearly making them collapse.

Subduing the crowd, Gao Tianxiong took a step forward, and in a breath, arrived at a rock forest shrouded in dense mist.

This stone forest, resembling hell itself, was enveloped in an atmosphere of slaughter.

Thousands of gigantic and sharp rocks clustered together, as if nature's mysterious creation.

The stone forest soared into the clouds, with towering peaks creating a sense of depression and fear.

The rocks were hard and sharp, exuding a suffocating aura.

The rock walls were covered in deep black moss and wavering gray vines, creating shadows and a dark realm in places with scarce light.

When sunlight fell through sparse clouds, it cast eerie and chilling shadows on the rock walls.

The paths between rocks were narrow and winding, like a labyrinth.

A heavy cold permeated, along with the sporadic sounds of footsteps.

"So this is the Hell Forest, the main base of the Hell Dao, one of the Ten Great Ancient Demonic Sects?

Indeed, the aura is strange and bone-chilling.

To leave such a divine treasure unused and neglected here is truly wasteful."

With hands behind his back, gazing down at the stone forest filled with ancient demonic power, Gao Tianxiong slowly raised his right hand.

Instantly, the earth shook.

The entire Shenxiao Sect Gate seemed to overturn with the Dianchuan King's gesture, innumerable Shenxiao Sect members appeared in astonishment, looking up at the sky dome incredulously as a giant hand seemed to slowly descend to grasp the heavens and earth.

This is the power of a Primordial Spirit True Honor.

One person alone could overturn an ancient sect that has stood for ages.

Just as the colossal hand covering hundreds of thousands of miles descended to forcibly uproot the Hell Forest, an endless brilliant golden light broke through the void, along with a dragon's roar, shaking the heavens and earth.

Boom!

As if billions of suns rose at once, the mighty dragon's roar resounded across the heavens and earth, a vast ocean of golden light fiercely shattered the giant hand, vast regions of space-bounding void collapsed and disintegrated, and endless violent winds surged and billowed, as though heralding the end of the world.

"Hmm?"

With a shallow, fleeting blood mark on his palm, Gao Tianxiong raised his gaze towards the source of the golden light.

"Interesting."

His gaze landed deep in the void, where a cross-boundary portal forcibly opened by boundless thunder was slowly revealing.

In the infinite void, a figure with a straight posture and wide-sleeved robe carried forward with awe-inspiring power, crossing towards the Shenxiao Sect to suppress all enemies.

The golden light that had just injured his palm was launched by this person.

Boom!

Striding out from the thunder portal, Qi Xiu, with eyes filled with colorful intent and accompanied by an unprecedented aura of anger, tore through endless mountains and rivers with his surging Hunyuan Qi, piercing through the six directions, reviving the Hunyuan Myriad Laws Immortal Body, making his figure majestic and overwhelming.

Upon his arrival, the entire Shenxiao Sect Gate seemed to sink heavily.

"Why is the Lord Military Governor not staying at his County Yamen, causing trouble at my Shenxiao Sect Gate?

Do you really think that with our Sect Master not present, the Shenxiao Sect has become a soft persimmon?

To be squeezed at will?"

With a single step, layers of void compressed, Qi Xiu's figure crossed vast distances in an instant, directly arriving in front of Gao Tianxiong.

Abandoning his usual gentle demeanor, his forceful questioning reverberated throughout the entire mountain gate!

The echoed voices lingered between the heavens and earth.

Within the entire Shenxiao Sect Gate, from Elder True Lords of the Dao Body Realm to servants and attendants of the outer sect, all were shocked, mouths agape, looking up incredulously at the sky.

A True Monarch of the Dao Body dared speak with such questioning tone to a Primordial Spirit True Honor.

This was truly unprecedented.

"Hunyuan Qi... Hah, so you are the Hunyuan Myriad Laws True Monarch, aren't you? I've heard much about your deeds,

In the present Central Earth Domain, among all True Monarchs of the Dao Body, you rank in the top three.

Including those of ancient sect nobility, hidden great sects.

However...

This is no reason for you to use such a tone with me!"

Boom!

Before Gao Tianxiong's words had even finished, the sky above the Shenxiao Sect Gate suddenly changed; terrifying black clouds spread out, shrouding the entire sky, turning the light into a dim, shadowy void.

In the center of the swirling black clouds, they split open, revealing an ancient guillotine slowly emerging, appearing as if it could cleave the heavens and the earth. Its blade, stained with mottled bloodstains, aimed forward menacingly, the fierce and terrifying killing intent causing the cosmic void to shatter under its power.

At the slightest movement from Gao Tianxiong, the powerful primordial spirit-level energy induced boundless fear and panic among everyone within the Shenxiao Sect Gate.

It was irresistible!

This was an existence that could not be resisted by any means!

However, just as the ancient guillotine summoned by Gao Tianxiong was about to descend, ready to fiercely strike down the young one who dared to speak such arrogant words.

The entire sky suddenly burst with magnificent lightning. A palm-sized, two-finger wide piece wrapped in golden silk, with exposed areas of purple-gold and azure interwoven as if you could see the colors flowing, soared into the air - a jade token!

The autonomous flow of lightning pierced through the void, forcefully creating a lightning domain under Gao Tianxiong's oppressive presence.

Vaguely, strands of primordial spirit aura began to resurrect within this lightning field.

Gao Tianxiong raised an eyebrow as he looked at this token:

"Nine Heavens Shenxiao Imperial Thunder Command?

Dongfang Qing sure dotes on you, granting you even this treasured command.

But so what, can you activate it?"

"Then let's give it a try!"

With a cold gaze, Qi Xiu's Hunyuan Daoist Monarch stepped through the layers of mist, descending with a thunderous presence. His entire being shimmered with vibrant colors. As he appeared, he immediately tossed the Jade Ruyi high into the air, where it melted into streams of flawless immortal aura, surging into Qi Xiu's body.

"Heartless and unkind...lawless and untamed..."

His physical body suddenly transformed into Innate Primordial Breath, which then merged with his spirit and flesh, thus infinitely approaching all the truths of heaven and earth, in exchange for the blessing of heavenly Dao consciousness.

In this state, Qi Xiu could attain near-absolute rationality and terrifying control over the celestial energy and truths of all things.

This is the state of "Body Fusion with Dao"!

Previously, when returning from the Southern Ming Wasteland to the Central Earth realm, due to encountering a surprise attack by Mystic Monarch's incarnation, to resist this ancient god, Qi Xiu accidentally entered this state.

And thus drove the entire Dragon Whale King, temporarily gaining power comparable to a primordial spirit, and repelling Mystic Monarch's assault.

However, he also realized that in this state, his consciousness would be subtly influenced and eroded by the consciousness of the heavenly Dao, ultimately becoming heartless and unkind, indifferent to everything but himself.

Therefore, after lucking out of this state, he decided never to step into "Body Fusion with Dao" recklessly again until he mastered it perfectly.

Previously, his mastery of this state made no progress.

But with the cultivation of the "External Incarnation" method, it enabled him to master the ability to split thoughts.

In this way, before stepping into "Body Fusion with Dao," he could first split a thought to enter the Hunyuan Daoist Monarch.

In times of necessity, it could awaken his true self to exit the "Body Fusion with Dao" state, preventing himself from indulging in it.

Upon entering the "Body Fusion with Dao" state, Qi Xiu became indifferent and calm, showing no emotional change, his black-and-white eyes like an abyss, swallowing everything.

"Nine Heavens Shenxiao, Thunder Dao Holy Law!"

Boom!

The heavens and the earth abruptly exploded, thunder roared, the Qiankun shook, and endless lightning filled the heavens like true dragons leaving their nests.

The "Nine Heavens Shenxiao Imperial Thunder Command" shone brightly, and within the dazzling lightning, a figure dressed in a celestial thunder robe with purple patterns, flowing with endless electricity, his right hand wielding a terrifying murder sword, and left hand holding a majestic treasure seal, emerged from the ancient void.

This figure was so majestic that his eyes reflected the sinking of sun and moon, the prostration of all things, and the kowtowing of all living things with vast omens. The divine light on his murder sword tore through heaven and earth, the sword tip piercing through cause and effect, while the left-hand treasure seal oppressed all heavens and judged all beings.

"This is..."

Watching the emerging figure, a trace of solemnity appeared on Gao Tianxiong's previously playful face.

"Nine Heavens Divine Firmament Ruler of Thunder True Venerable!"

Escaping from the oppressive constraint of Gao Tianxiong's might, Daoist Yunxiong and others rushed out of the Sect Master Hall. When they saw the figure standing atop the cloud pinnacle, wielding a sword in the left hand and holding a seal in the right, controlling the thunder of heaven and earth, their expressions suddenly changed, and they exclaimed:

"Ancestral Founder!"

Indeed!

At this moment, the majestic figure emerging from the "Nine Heavens Shenxiao Imperial Thunder Command" was none other than the founding ancestor of the Shenxiao Sect!

It is rumored to be one of the top ten venerable figures in the history of the Tianyuan Human Race, born from the descent of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth Thunder Law!

Nine Heavens Divine Firmament Ruler of Thunder True Venerable!

"No wonder you dare speak to this king like this, turns out you already had a backer."

Watching the figure in front, who stood out prominently in humanity's history, Gao Tianxiong's lips gradually curled into a smile, his once dull gaze now brimming with a fierce fighting spirit.

"Very well, ever since this king achieved the primordial spirit, I've yet to have a proper fight.

Today, let this king see just how strong this Nine Heavens Divine Firmament Ruler of Thunder True Venerable, one of our human race's top ten venerable figures, truly is!"

With a single step forward, Gao Tianxiong's aura surged skyward, as if a supreme power had awakened in the void, with an icy killing intent permeating the heavens, transforming into terrifying weapons of massacre, intending to slaughter countless generations and dominate the world's fate!
