Chapter 534: Everything is ready, only the killing is missing!

In a warm-as-spring palace in the Tian Guan Star System, the sound of reading aloud drifted out.

At this moment, a young man wearing a Grand Historian's crown, elegant and refined, stood on the platform. A river of history surrounded the entire hall, and many ancient characters appeared on a miniature bronze door.

Standing beside him were several Emperors, and below the hall were countless Dao Domain Realm experts.

"Taking history as a mirror, one can clarify the mind; taking people as a mirror, one can know gains and losses."

"The natural disaster in the chaotic sea was not generated out of thin air, but triggered by evil gods. You must read more of our country's history books, and recite them every day. Secondly, the Chen Xuan Ling History Books; everyone must have a rubbing and carry it with them at all times."

A magnificent voice, like thunder, echoed in the hall.

"If one day you feel that you have forgotten something, or feel that something strange has happened around you, read more books, and then look at the people around you."

"Of course, the most important thing is to hone your mind and contemplate the Great Dao more."

"We are close to the Primordial Heaven Palace, but we cannot be lax—you continue to cultivate, A-Zhe, you come and preach in my stead."

As he spoke, Venerable Tian Guan suddenly stopped and handed the teaching work to his eldest disciple beside him.

Afterward, he went to the side hall himself.

"God-General Bei Hai sent a secret letter saying someone is challenging the Earth Heart Blood Core barrier?" Venerable Tian Guan looked at the message in the Star Mirror and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Zhao Xing, so it's him—"

Venerable Zhang He was the Demigod who had waited the longest, for 350,000 years, to get this material.

The second was Venerable Tian Guan, who had already waited for 330,000 years.

For him, the Earth Heart Blood Core was a tool for reverse-engineering a certain historical period of the Void Ancestor's reincarnation, and it could also obtain some historical information through the geological layers, which might greatly increase the strength of his era clone.

However, Venerable Tian Guan knew that it was impossible for him to get it in the short term, because there was still Venerable Zhang He ahead of him.

If no one succeeded in the challenge, then he would have to wait another 350,000 world-star years to get it.

Of course, this amount of time wasn't actually too long for a Demigod. 350 solar years would be enough, and by that time, less than a quarter of the Third Era of the Desolate Domain would have passed.

"Zhao Xing created 'Zhao's Earth Record and Earth Change Theory' during his Origin Realm and Dao Domain Realm periods,

and 'Six Treatises on Annihilation Star'. These are all classic works that have been inscribed on the Ten Thousand Dao Tree."

"In the Reincarnation Realm, he developed the Annihilation Star Ancient Road."

"He has both theory and practice. Now, I don't know how strong he actually is."

Venerable Tian Guan naturally knew Zhao Xing. Back then, when they were recruited by Bo Wei, they were unified and integrated into history scholars.

Writing books on the Dao Tree was considered the highest honor.

Those who wrote books on the Dao Tree also had an invisible benefit: their true spirits were difficult to lose, and their memories were hard to confuse.

This benefit was usually not useful, but it manifested during the impact of space-time turbulence.

"If he gets the Earth Heart Blood Core, I don't mind waiting another 350,000 world-star years." Venerable Tian Guan thought to himself.

Not only was he not jealous, but he actually hoped Zhao Xing would get it.

Perhaps he could even use his relationship with Feng Chen to let Zhao Xing lend him the Earth Heart Blood Core to take a look.

On the green star-land, a monster with a human head and dragon body, with a line of red feathers on its back, muscular and dark red, was cultivating.

The earth vein was heavy, and this monster was moving rapidly under a pressure a thousand times higher than usual.

"Swish swish swish~"

Like a ray of light constantly refracting, he was cultivating his movement speed under extreme pressure.

"Bo Meng."

Suddenly, the earth cracked, and the eye of a giant beast appeared.

"Teacher." Bo Meng stopped instantly, looking at his God Realm teacher with some confusion.

"In the first Void Ancestor Star, a blood core has been born, but it will take several hundred years to be born. You have a causal connection in that place."

"Go and get it back; consider it my test for you."

"If you can't complete it, our preaching will end here."

After saying that, the earth closed, and Bo Meng was thrown away.

"I have a causal connection there, and it's also a test from the teacher."

Bo Meng immediately checked, because if he didn't get it, he couldn't continue to learn from the teacher.

"Zhao Xing—it's him?" Bo Meng suddenly understood.

He wasn't unfamiliar with this name, but he couldn't say he was very familiar either. His only interaction was during that trip to the Transmission Building.

The Chi Star Empire used a "causal trap" to lure the Monster Race Emperors into it, and in the end, they gained nothing, and several Monster Race Emperors were severely injured because of the failure to compete for the Void Ancestor Shedding Bone.

They formed an alliance, paid money, entered the Transmission Building, and in the end, gained nothing.

They had swallowed this bitter pill and had nowhere to vent their grievances, and in the end, they could only let it go because the alliance agreement hadn't been dissolved.

Originally, Zhao Xing was just a small Dao Domain Realm expert, and the Monster Race Emperors wouldn't seek revenge from a small Dao Domain Realm expert.

At the time, Zhao Xing didn't even have this qualification.

If they wanted to seek revenge, they would seek it from the Primordial Heaven Palace and the strong experts of the Chi Star Empire, but now it was different.

"Now, this guy named Zhao Xing has the qualification to be bullied by us."

"Fine, back then they snatched the secret of the Void Ancestor's shedding bone, and now it's a treasure related to the Void Ancestor, so I will openly snatch it back."

Bo Meng immediately used a special ally teleportation channel to head to the Primordial Heaven Palace.

Just like Zhao Xing reporting that Tiger Absolute Venerable had contribution points back then, Bo Meng also had the qualification to enter the Primordial Heaven Palace for exchange.

The sky was red, and mist drifted like silk threads.

The temperature kept rising, as if one were in a furnace.

After Zhao Xing was teleported by God-General Bei Hai, he found himself in such a space.

"This is the heart of the first Void Ancestor Star."

"This is my first time entering such a special earth heart space."

Zhao Xing looked around curiously.

Normally, in the core of the first Void Ancestor Star, the earth vein power should be extremely powerful, and the pressure should be incomparably heavy. However, in Zhao Xing's current sensing, this pressure was very weak.

The small soil layers floating in the red mist emitted earth vein power that was no different from ordinary soil.

"Swish~" Zhao Xing landed on a soil layer with a radius of less than thirty meters.

He inserted both hands into it and dug out a handful of soil.

The soil was dark red, and every grain of sand was jumping slightly, but if one didn't look carefully, one couldn't see it.

"The Void Ancestor sat down and evolved into a star system in the universe; in essence, it was also 'returning the origin'."

"It's just that he wasn't like the Ice Venerable, who was destroyed by the True Spirit Tribulation and then rolled away, scattered all over the universe."

"His origin did not disperse, forming the Void Ancestor Star System, and giving birth to Void Ancestor stars one by one."

The Void Ancestor's level was too high. Even though he was only in the Reincarnation Realm at the time, the Void Ancestor later became a God Emperor, and his Dao influenced his endless selves in space-time, so the Void Ancestor Star System had always remained miraculous.

For example, how many years had those Void Ancestor Star Systems been used by the human race, and how many treasures had been produced? Yet they still kept giving birth to treasures.

The Earth Heart Blood Core, it is rumored, was transformed from a part of the Void Ancestor's heart.

"Extreme Land Mustard Seed Dharma Domain, open!"

Zhao Xing studied it for a while and then unfolded his Extreme Land Mustard Seed Dharma Domain.

"Hum~"

Large amounts of red mist were driven away, and floating gravel and soil blocks began to condense.

The field of vision began to open up, and at the same time, the sensing of the earth vein became more and more clear.

"Truly miraculous. Layers of gravel and red mist intertwined and blocked each other, actually canceling out the powerful earth vein fluctuations, as if hiding them."

Zhao Xing expanded the Extreme Land Mustard Seed Dharma Domain, constantly pushing aside the gravel, and his sensing became more and more clear.

"Thump~ thump~"

He heard earth vein fluctuations like a human heartbeat.

"The earth vein actually fluctuates like a human heart?"

"In that direction!"

The earth vein sensing became clear, and no matter what kind of space he was in, he had a sense of direction.

Zhao Xing locked onto a direction and flew over immediately.

Inside Bei Hai Palace.

Artifact spirit Chen Jiu and God-General Bei Hai were looking at Zhao Xing, who was moving in a clear direction, and chatting.

"He found it."

"Hmm, distinguishing direction is indeed not a difficult task for a Si Nong." God-General Bei Hai nodded slightly. "However, wanting to successfully obtain the Earth Heart Blood Core still depends on whether he can pass the Blood Core Boundary Palace jointly set up by the Taigu Zhi Qiu and my Primordial Heaven Palace."

The Void Ancestor Star System is the common property of humanity. Although it is mainly guarded by the Primordial Heaven Palace, the Taigu Zhi Qiu, the Academy, the Reincarnation Temple, and the Ancient Kingdom Alliance also have a share.

The Earth Heart Blood Core is also protected by several layers.

Among them, the Life Earth Palace Art of the Taigu Zhi Qiu and the Life Formation built by God-General Fang Jie Luo of the Primordial Heaven Palace are used.

The Blood Core Boundary Palace is formed by the spells and formations of the two major super forces, borrowing the terrain of the Void Ancestor Star.

It is both protection and a form of accelerated gestation.

"Chen Jiu, what is your deduction result?" God-General Bei Hai asked.

"I don't know." Chen Jiu shook his head: "The computing power of this body of mine is only one-billionth of the main body. Furthermore, since Zhao Xing became a Reincarnation Realm expert, he has taken action too few times, and the records in the database are too few."

After Zhao Xing's main body returned, aside from taking action once against the Carlos family, he was just bullying star pirates and criminals with his clones in evil god missions.

He hadn't taken action with full force even once.

The Great Expansion Divine Weapon didn't reach conclusions out of thin air; it needed more data for reference than a Fate Master.

"However, his holy body is already at the Thirteenth-Stage level, and his magic power of the three sects of Heavenly Time, Earthly Benefit, and True Self is balanced, which is very rare in this era." Artifact spirit Chen Jiu looked at the scene before him.

"The probability of passing the Earth Heart Blood Core barrier is very high. As for the Soul Tree barrier, we'll have to see."

God-General Bei Hai nodded slightly. He wasn't a Si Nong, but he also knew that for a Si Nong to be proficient in the three paths of Heavenly Time, Earthly Benefit, and True Self in the Desolate Domain era, and to cultivate all of them to the Demigod realm, was incomparably difficult.

It was mainly because the Heavenly Time Sect was difficult to cultivate, and if any one of the three was missing, there could be no balance.

A Demigod Si Nong would eventually give up the other two paths and specialize in one, while auxiliary-cultivating the other two.

Otherwise, it would not only be of no help to passing the tribulation or becoming a god, but would also be harmful.

Just then, a God Guard walked into Bei Hai Palace.

"Reporting to the Great God Official, Venerable Bo Meng of the Monster Race requests an audience. He has spent 1.6 million contribution points to challenge the Earth Heart Blood Core barrier."

"Understood, let him in." God-General Bei Hai nodded.

"Not early, not late, but at this time." Artifact spirit Chen Jiu laughed. "It seems that the Monster Race fellow still remembers the events of those years."

"Bo Meng was born with a heaven-sent divine skill, and the possibility of him passing is very high." God-General Bei Hai looked at Bo Meng's information. "He chose the perfect time."

"Bo Meng is also a Twelfth-Stage Demigod. After his bloodline gave birth to a heaven-sent divine skill, he possessed the ability to fight across stages. If he comes to snatch it, he really might succeed."

God-General Bei Hai followed the usual practice and passed the news of the Monster Race Twelfth-Stage Demigod "Bo Meng" challenging the Blood Core barrier to those waiting in line.

Venerable Zhang He felt extremely depressed after reading the message.

"Another one?!"

"Why is it so hard to line up for a blood core?"

If Zhao Xing hadn't shown his strength and only had a reputation for law and reason, then this Bo Meng was the opposite.

His actual combat ability was very strong. At the end of the Second Era of the Desolate Domain, he had destroyed many evil god altars and displayed very fierce combat power, absolutely comparable to a Fourteenth-Stage Demigod.

"If Zhao Xing succeeds, that's fine, but don't let this Monster Race Bo Meng succeed in the end." Zhang He prayed in his heart.

Of course, it would be best if neither succeeded, so he could smoothly reach his turn.

"Bo Meng went in. This monster is definitely doing it on purpose." Venerable Tian Guan stared at the Star Mirror and shook his head.

"If Bo Meng gets it, I won't have a chance to study it, and I don't have any friendship with the Monster Race forces."

Venerable Tian Guan also didn't want Bo Meng to succeed.

Inside the Void Ancestor Star earth heart.

Zhao Xing found the direction and successfully arrived in front of the Blood Core Boundary Palace.

Before his eyes were earth veins that were broken and fragmented, but moving along a certain route.

Each one was about 800 million kilometers long, and on countless tiny soil blocks, there was also the existence of green plants.

Some parts were carved into squares, diamonds, flat shapes, looking like some kind of formation base.

"Hum~"

A red mist emerged in front, condensing into a human figure; it was the phantom of God-General Bei Hai.

"Primordial Envoy Zhao Xing, what you see now is the Blood Core Boundary Palace jointly built by the Taigu Zhi Qiu and the Primordial Heaven Palace."

"It has three layers in total. The outermost layer, named the Eight-Ring Fragmented Vein Layer, has a total of over 7.38 billion vein stones, each of which is arranged with a Venerable-level formation."

"The Fragmented Vein Layer surrounding the core will exert the power of a Twelfth-Stage Demigod peak after you break in, cyclically crushing your body and pulling your true spirit."

"The middle layer is the Blood Mist Layer, which will exert the power of a Thirteenth-Stage Demigod after you break in. It possesses spirituality, will change formations, and attack your weaknesses."

"The innermost layer, the Blood Core Boundary Palace, I will adjust it to the defensive power of a Fourteenth-Stage Demigod, calculated according to the golden body standard of a Qi Sect martial artist. As long as you can break in and take away the Earth Heart Blood Core, it is yours."

After speaking, the phantom of God-General Bei Hai dissipated.

Zhao Xing cupped his hands and then moved like lightning, passing through the phantom.

"Boom~~"

When he got close, he discovered that the rotating fragmented vein belt was motionless.

"It's not motionless, but the speed is too fast, exceeding the capture speed of the naked eye, so it looks like it's motionless." Zhao Xing thought to himself. "This barrier indeed has the difficulty of a Twelfth-Tribulation peak."

If he couldn't capture the trajectory of the rotation, it was impossible to drill through the gaps.

If one only had the strength of a Twelfth-Tribulation Demigod, facing this barrier, one would basically know to retreat after one look.

If one forced their way in, the result would be being crushed.

"I need to make it slower. If I force my way in, I'm afraid my Thirteenth-Stage holy body will also be injured."

The Thirteenth-Stage Qiankun Hunyuan Holy Body, although it could resist damage, would be bumped around, rolling in the eight-layer fragmented vein ring.

It was like a Qi Sect martial artist who, although difficult to kill, couldn't get through, because Zhao Xing's physical body couldn't be strong enough to make the entire formation stop.

"The way to pass without injury is to make it slow down and find the gaps to drill through."

Zhao Xing took a deep breath and then released eight Primordial clones.

These eight Primordial clones corresponded to the Eight Earth Change Methods of the Earth Record he had created himself.

The main body, aside from the Eight Earth Change Methods of the Earth Record, also knew many spells of the Taigu Zhi Qiu.

Aside from God-level techniques, the magic power level of Demigods now determined the power of the spells; whether it was a Reincarnation secret art or a divine skill, there was no difference.

Zhao Xing's eight clones cast spells first.

"Ascend and Copy."

The magic power in these eight clones only had the Mustard Seed magic power of the Earthly Benefit Sect. After casting, the magic power vortexes of the eight clones accelerated, as if they were about to burn.

Ascend and Copy as the starting move, the Force-Driving Method burned magic power, enhancing the power of subsequent spells.

"Boil Amber!"

Golden light surged like a collapse, crashing into the eight-ring fragmented veins, lighting up the entire star ring.

"Branch and Separate!"

Fragments of gravel were split open, and large cracks penetrated deep into the rock.

"Open Wall!"

With a click, all seventy-something billion pieces of gravel made a sound.

"Qi Vein!"

The eight clones pointed at the fragmented vein ring in unison, and a small amount of gravel edges turned into Qi, gradually swallowing along the large cracks.

Zhao Xing 【Recognized the Earth】 and observed. He originally didn't intend to cast Void Penetration or Water Transformation, thinking it was enough to solve this barrier.

But just as he was about to move forward, the eight-layer fragmented vein ring actually returned to its original rotation speed after rotating one circle.

"The stone and soil layers I split and cracked merged with each other again, forming a new set of earth vein layers, and the formations on them also formed a new structure."

"The total amount of matter hasn't changed; it's still an eight-layer fragmented vein ring, and even the crushing force of the earth vein is no different from just now."

Zhao Xing immediately released all his clones and looked at the entire eight-layer fragmented vein ring.

Afterward, he took all the clones back.

"Interesting."

After observing, Zhao Xing discovered that the entire eight-layer fragmented vein ring was like a controllable 'Stacked Boundary Mountain'.

Zhao Xing had seen the most difficult Stacked Boundary Mountain, but it was only a Three-Stacked Boundary Mountain.

But here, there were eight layers!

What concept was that?

The difficulty would soar by eight exponential levels.

"Truly worthy of being a formation jointly created by two super forces." Zhao Xing exclaimed in admiration.

His actions just now were equivalent to digging into the essence of this formation from the root.

However, the creators of the Taigu Zhi Qiu were silently proclaiming: You can pass the barrier, but don't even think about destroying it.

After watching for a while, Zhao Xing gave up on this way of breaking through.

Why? Because he saw the trick.

The entire eight-layer fragmented vein ring was built based on his "Stacked Boundary Mountain Theory". It was the great experts of the Taigu Zhi Qiu who had taken eight more steps on his foundation.

Simply put, this was an advanced version of the Zhao's Eight Methods!

"My legal theory has been out for almost five thousand years."

"Before, I didn't know to what extent it had been pushed by the great experts of the Taigu Zhi Qiu."

"But now I see some clues."

Zhao Xing felt proud, but also helpless.

He was proud that this barrier used his legal theory as a foundation, but helpless that it was impossible for him to pass easily.

"Big, big, big!!!"

Since he couldn't take shortcuts, he had to use his real skills.

Zhao Xing's Qiankun Hunyuan Holy Body began to expand.

But at the same time, the eight-layer fragmented vein ring also began to expand.

It possessed the characteristics of the Stacked Boundary Mountain; it could be as big as Zhao Xing was.

"Boom!"

When he expanded to a thousand meters, Zhao Xing suddenly shrank violently.

"Whoosh!"

The Thirteenth-Stage holy body turned into the size of a grain of rice in an instant, violently rushing into the eight-layer fragmented vein ring.

Rice Grain Hun Tian Art, size as one wishes!

This change in size made the speed of the formation appear to drop for a split second.

He grasped the rotation of the formation.

At the same time, he successfully drilled through the first seven layers.

Until the eighth layer—"Boom!"

The gravel grains that had also become smaller, like magnets repelling and connecting, formed an iron whip and lashed at Zhao Xing.

"Slap, slap!"

He was hit twice in a row.

"Hum~"

Zhao Xing returned to his normal size, standing in the empty space between the second barrier and the first barrier.

"There is a bloodstain on my arm and waist. The injury is not heavy, but it is an injury."

"Truly powerful."

The Thirteenth-Stage holy body facing the Twelfth-Tribulation peak attack was not immune to injury.

Zhao Xing saw the essence clearly. He knew that the power of this first barrier could be stacked infinitely to the God level, but it was suppressed to the Twelfth-Stage level. He still felt that this barrier was arranged brilliantly.

"One day I must go to the Taigu Zhi Qiu and accept the memories of the clones. My own legal theory, yet I have fallen behind." Zhao Xing activated the Green Flower magic power to cover the wound. These skin injuries were quickly recovered.

In terms of recovery ability, the three major magic powers were still inferior to the Green Flower magic power cultivated by the physician Fan Qianrou.

Just as Zhao Xing was planning to study the second barrier.

"Boom!"

The eight-layer fragmented vein ring suddenly made an unusual sound.

"Hmm?"

Zhao Xing sensed from afar and discovered that at the other end, a monster with a human head and dragon body, with red hair on its back and muscular build, had arrived at the middle layer.

"Another challenger?"

Bo Meng also sensed Zhao Xing's soul consciousness, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he actively released a causal line.

"Hum~"

Zhao Xing instantly knew Bo Meng's intention.

"The Emperor who was scammed into the Transmission Building, Bo Meng?"

"He also became a Demigod."

At that time, he had just become a Dao Domain Realm expert, and at that time, Bo Meng was already a relatively strong Emperor.

It was just that he couldn't compare to Zuo Zuo Qiyu and Five Poisons at the time.

However, Bo Meng also had his own opportunities. Being able to be scammed into the Transmission Building meant he was also a genius vigorously cultivated by the Monster Race; otherwise, it would have been impossible to enter the Transmission Building in the first batch.

Later, Bo Meng activated his Monster Race ancestor bloodline, became a God-descendant, and was even taken as a disciple by a great expert who was a natural god of the Monster Race.

"He actively released a causal line, what does it mean? Provocation?" Zhao Xing looked at this gradually dimming causal line.

It was dimming and not strengthening, which meant that his main goal wasn't targeting him. At least personally, he didn't have any irreconcilable causal connection with him.

Then this time, he was just here to show off? Wanting to use this to find his face back?

This was the Void Ancestor Star System of the Primordial Heaven Palace, and he was a person of the Empire, one of the people involved in the past. It had to be said that the occasion and the person were very appropriate.

Fair competition. If Bo Meng could win, the human side would have nothing to say.

Bo Meng smiled and quickly rushed into the blood mist.

"You want to show off and use me as a background board? Dream on!"

Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes and quickly rushed into the blood mist.

Bo Meng Venerable's smiling face also stirred up his fighting spirit.

People fight for a breath, trees fight for a line of light.

Zhao Xing didn't think about passing without injury anymore; he just went for it!

"Change!"

After entering the blood mist, Zhao Xing activated the God-level Climate Change Art and transformed into a descendant of the Nine Marsh Gods.

Originally, he had only cultivated to the third layer, but after the Great Sun Sea was completed and the three sects were balanced, he immediately pushed it to the fourth layer.

The Nine Marsh God Transformation had nine layers in total.

The first three layers were one God-descendant, and the middle three layers were another God-descendant.

Corresponding to nine heaven-sent secret arts: Broken Space Claw, Burning World Divine Eye, Heavenly Void Five Viscera, Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Marrow, Longevity Wheel, Chen Xuan Ming Transformation,

Earth Boundary God Walk, Body of Thunder, Instant Eternity.】

Zhao Xing cultivated the first three layers and unlocked the Broken Space Claw, Burning World Divine Eye, and Heavenly Void Five Viscera.

At this moment, cultivating to the fourth layer unlocked a new heaven-sent skill, 'Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Marrow'.

His single horn turned purple-gold, and the dense purple hair turned into scales covering his whole body, still maintaining a general human shape. But his skin and bones were also covered with a layer of gold.

"The Nine Marsh God, a natural god, is immortal through ten thousand tribulations, giving birth to divine bone golden marrow."

"His God-descendants inherited this heaven-sent talent, which is far less strong than the Nine Marsh God, but it is enough for me to ignore the tribulations of the first fifteen stages."

Zhao Xing rushed into the blood mist, and the blood mist began to shrink, constantly eroding and attacking his body.

In the blink of an eye, it changed into various types of attacks.

However, Zhao Xing felt as if it were just an itch. Aside from the mental-type attacks that had a bit of impact on him, the others had no effect at all.

The powerful body pushed forward all the way. Zhao Xing experienced for the first time the benefits of being a Qi Sect martial artist.

Nothing else, just one word: Hard!

"The blood mist layer simulates countless types of attacks, targeting the weaknesses of the challenger, but the specification will not exceed the Thirteenth Stage. For me after the transformation, this barrier has no weaknesses at all."

Zhao Xing traveled through it quickly all the way, and quickly passed the second barrier, appearing in the empty space between the second barrier and the third barrier.

"Boom!"

Zhao Xing began to attack the final barrier, the Blood Core Boundary Palace.

"With my strength after transformation, passing the second barrier is also easy. The only weakness is the mind."

"It's not that easy to control powerful physical strength." Bo Meng thought to himself.

His weakness was his mind, so the blood mist layer kept changing to mental attacks.

By the time he arrived in front of the third barrier.

Zhao Xing had already tried to attack the Blood Core Boundary Palace seven or eight times.

"Bang bang bang bang bang!"

The sound of bombardment kept coming.

It gave Bo Meng a fright.

"How is it possible? He's even faster than me?"

In his soul sensing, Bo Meng discovered that at the other end, there was a demon god who wouldn't stop hitting the Boundary Palace with its head.

"He is a Si Nong, he should be using the Climate Change Art. This appearance—could it be 'Di Ge', one of the descendants of the Nine Marsh Gods?"

Bo Meng, as a monster, naturally knew many ancient monster God-descendants.

However, the Nine Marsh God and his first generation of descendants no longer existed in the world.

Even he had only seen them in ancient monster history books.

"This guy... where did he get the blood and life diagram of the Nine Marsh God descendant?"

Bo Meng felt somewhat jealous.

The Climate Change Art of a human Si Nong was, after all, not eternal; it was a form of transformation.

And what level of strength that Nine Marsh God descendant had when alive, the Si Nong couldn't possibly have any breakthroughs after transforming.

But if he got Di Ge's blood, that would be fusion, evolution!

"Bang bang bang!!!"

On the fifteenth strike.

A hole appeared in the Blood Core Boundary Palace.

Without the Heaven-Changing Divine Needle, Zhao Xing, who had now cultivated to the fourth layer and transformed into Di Ge, was also a Fourteenth-Stage combat force.

Everything happened too fast. While Bo Meng was shocked, Zhao Xing had already completed the breakthrough of the third barrier!

"Damn!"

Although he knew he couldn't snatch it, the spirit of not giving up still prompted him to launch an attack on the Blood Core Boundary Palace.

By the time he broke in.

He saw a blood-colored sun dimming.

It was shrouded by a shadow, wrapping around it rapidly, like a heavenly dog eating the sun, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The Earth Heart Blood Core was wrapped by Zhao Xing with a world projection and collected into his pocket.

"Venerable Bo Meng, I concede."

Zhao Xing also returned a smile.

"Congratulations, Commandant Zhao." Bo Meng bowed unwillingly. As a Demigod of the Monster Race, he was also a big shot, so he still had to do the surface work.

"I didn't expect you to have obtained the blood of our Monster Race's Nine Marsh God descendant. Truly impressive."

Bo Meng said this to save his own face.

You, Zhao Xing, indeed snatched it first, but the one who transformed was a Nine Marsh God descendant. The strong one was the Monster Race God-descendant. Praising the Nine Marsh God descendant for being impressive didn't make him lose face.

Zhao Xing knew exactly what he meant.

However, he didn't want to argue with Bo Meng.

Facts speak louder than words; the blood core was now in his hands.

"Swish~"

Zhao Xing and Bo Meng were quickly teleported out.

"Our human race has produced another genius Si Nong, but why can't I feel happy?" Venerable Zhang He looked at the breakthrough screen, his mood complex.

"My Dao heart is still not strong enough."

"Zhao Xing really got the Earth Heart Blood Core. Truly impressive." Venerable Tian Guan also praised him.

"The Heavenly Time Sect only has the Climate Change Art that can exert power."

"This body, this appearance, should be 'Di Ge', the descendant of the Nine Marsh Gods mentioned in the ancient monster history books."

Venerable Tian Guan sent a congratulatory letter to Zhao Xing.

At the same time, he also expressed his idea of wanting to exchange treasures for the Earth Heart Blood Core.

After Zhao Xing passed the barrier, all those waiting in line received the notification and needed to line up again.

Although they knew this was a rule set by the human higher-ups, many still secretly called it bad luck.

"Damn, have to wait another 350,000 years."

"Second-stage God-Soldier material, it seems I have no fate with it."

"What are you complaining about? I've waited for three or four eras, and I haven't even had a turn for over three hundred types of second-stage God-Soldier materials."

"No way, treasures are for those with ability. This is a rule set by the human higher-ups. If there are many, they can naturally be distributed. If there aren't, then only the strong can use them first."

"Not bad. If a new god is born in the future, they will also give back to the group and fill the Chen Xuan Ling Treasury."

"At the very beginning, the Chen Xuan Ling Treasury didn't even have a single Primordial God Stone, but now, there are 47 that can be exchanged."

With the Earth Heart Blood Core in hand, Zhao Xing didn't stop and immediately asked God-General Bei Hai to teleport him to the third-stage God-Soldier material 'Soul Tree Heart' barrier.

And after Zhao Xing made this request, Bo Meng was somewhat surprised.

"He can still challenge the third-stage God-Soldier barrier?"

"The third-stage God-Soldier barrier requires overcoming a three-stage standard to obtain."

Bo Meng didn't rush to go back for a while.

He wanted to wait for the result of Zhao Xing's breakthrough.

"It would be best if this Zhao Xing could pass." Bo Meng's thoughts had already changed.

If Zhao Xing was only at the same level as him, then he hadn't completed his teacher's test, which was a loss of face.

But if Zhao Xing could pass the third-stage barrier and obtain the Soul Tree Heart, then there was nothing to compare.

After going back, his teacher could forgive him; it wasn't that he was too useless, but that the enemy was too strong.

"Commandant Zhao, I wish you success in advance."

Zhao Xing turned his head in surprise.

Was the perspective of a Monster Race Demigod so broad?

However, he couldn't tell if this was sarcasm or sincere.

So he didn't respond and disappeared from the spot.

One hour later.

Zhao Xing returned to Bei Hai Palace with injuries.

"Swish swish swish~"

At this moment, many new faces appeared in Bei Hai Palace, including not only Venerable Zhang He, but also Venerable Tian Guan, and Monster Race Demigods like Venerable Bo Meng.

They all watched Zhao Xing appear in Bei Hai Palace.

Did he succeed, or fail?

God-General Bei Hai, who was sitting in the main hall, immediately announced a piece of news.

【Zhao Xing successfully passed the Soul Tree Heart barrier. Starting from the tenth person, the waiting time for those in line is reset to 500,000 years.】

"Wow~"

The hall was suddenly in an uproar.

"Seeing him seriously injured, I thought he failed, but he actually succeeded?"

"I am one of the first ten people in line. I saw the whole process. Zhao Xing's final impact was to break open the skin of the Soul Tree,"

"to get a piece of the tree heart."

"So close. I am the ninth, even if Zhao Xing takes one piece, there are still nine pieces left, so my waiting time hasn't changed."

"I am ranked over four hundred, it makes no difference. Anyway, I'm just lining up just in case."

"The defensive power of the last layer of tree bark reached the Fifteenth-Stage Demigod standard

"I'm ranked over four hundredth, it doesn't make much difference; I'm just ranking for the sake of caution anyway."

"The defensive power of the final layer of tree bark has reached the threshold of a fifteenth-stage demigod. How was this broken through?"

"It must have been some kind of secret technique with a price. I am a demigod of medicine; I can see that Minister Zhao's left hand, right foot, and internal organs have all suffered a certain degree of damage, and his true spirit has even weakened by a portion. This looks like some kind of medical secret technique."

"Could it be that Minister Zhao also studies medicine?"

The crowd speculated one after another.

Zhao Xing, meanwhile, was silently popping pills to recover.

The crowd's discussion was not far from the actual situation.

At the Soul Tree Heart checkpoint, the final layer of obstacles had already reached the threshold of the fifteenth stage.

After Zhao Xing's Marquis Transformation, his four types of magic power merged, further amplified by the Great Sun magic power, yet he still could not break through this layer of obstacles.

There was no other way; he had to use the two medical secret techniques he had learned from Wei Ling Tianchen: 【Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot: Reversing Fate】 and 【Hundred Spirits Blood-Exhaustion Technique】.

This kind of technique with side effects is easy to learn; who wouldn't know how to self-mutilate to stimulate potential? What's difficult are those secret techniques with minor side effects.

In the end, Zhao Xing paid the price of eight thousand years of lifespan and burned seven of his split-soul true spirits, allowing his magic power to reach the fifteenth-stage threshold for one hundred thousandth of a second.

One hundred thousandth of a second is one hundred-thousandth of a second.

Paying the price of eight thousand years of lifespan and burning seven split-souls just to produce such a brief peak of attack power.

Relying on that instantaneous peak attack power, Zhao Xing broke through the final layer of skin, drilled inside, and obtained the Soul Tree Heart.

"Zhao Xing, a demigod's life, although it spans more than ten epochs, cannot withstand you playing like this often. Don't get addicted," the artifact spirit Chen Jiu transmitted his voice.

"You are a genius of the Empire with a bright future; I don't need to tell you how to weigh the pros and cons."

"Many thanks for the kind intentions of Venerable Chen Jiu, Zhao Xing will keep it in mind."

Indeed, he couldn't play like this often. Eight thousand years of lifespan in exchange for one hundred-thousandth of a second of fifteenth-stage combat power—a demigod's lifespan wouldn't last long at this rate.

If it weren't for the fact that he was so close and the money had already been spent, Zhao Xing would never have done this.

"I still need to stay in the Origin Heavenly Palace for a while; the screening for the Food-Robbing Technique is not yet complete. You can leave on your own, or you can wait to return to the capital with me," Chen Jiu said. "I am staying in the Beiqi Palace."

"Yes."

After leaving the Beiqi Palace, Zhao Xing found a place to rest and recover from his injuries.

However, at this time, many demigods came to invite him, wanting to get to know Zhao Xing, including the demon demigod Bo Meng.

"Minister Zhao, I have good medicine; come sit at my place."

"Many thanks." Zhao Xing cupped his hands, intending to refuse, but he suddenly thought of something.

"Venerable Bo Meng, you come from the Demon God Palace; do you know Pu Yan?"

Venerable Bo Meng nodded: "Of course. Several epochs ago, he had been living in our demon territory. I have even seen him a few times, but he is not under the jurisdiction of our Heavenly Demon Kingdom."

"Then do you know his specific location?"

"That is not hard to find, but—" Venerable Bo Meng asked with some confusion: "Do you have a grudge against him, Minister Zhao?"

"Venerable Bo Meng, let's sit at your place and discuss it in detail."

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was the fifth world-star year of the Desolate Domain Era.

Zhao Xing's injuries had recovered as before, and even his lifespan had been replenished a bit through nourishing items.

While he was in the Origin Heavenly Palace attempting to gather a god-level straw man, he was also learning about the customs of the demon race through Venerable Bo Meng.

Of course, it was mainly to learn about Pu Yan.

"The Primordial Straw Man Technique has indeed reached its end. If Jin Yan and Zuo Zuo Qiyu are still on this path, even if I have these materials, I won't be able to utilize them."

Zhao Xing looked inward at the boundless continent within his body, where a towering figure stood.

The straw man's shell had been built, and its life aura was thick; there was even divine power circulating with the beating of its heart (the Earth Core Blood Nucleus).

However, it lacked divine charm. No matter how Zhao Xing urged it from within the tree heart, this straw man remained motionless.

In the end, Zhao Xing could only consider the final method.

"I cannot kill Zuo Zuo Qiyu, but I can try killing Jin Yan first."

"Once Jin Yan dies, his power will be distributed between me and Zuo Zuo Qiyu, and it will also free up some space. Perhaps then I will have a chance to bypass Old Zuo and continue forward."

In the sixth year, Zhao Xing, who had become familiar with Venerable Bo Meng, made a request to him.

"Brother Bo Meng, I would like to visit your hometown and experience the local customs. I wonder if I might have the honor of having Brother Bo Meng accompany me?"

Bo Meng was very happy to hear this: "Oh my, I have long wanted to invite Brother Zhao, but I was afraid the suggestion would be too abrupt. After all, these are special times, and I hadn't found the right moment to speak."

"Since you have taken the initiative to propose it, how could I be anything but happy?"

Bo Meng patted his sturdy pectoral muscles: "Rest assured, once you arrive in my territory, I will certainly arrange everything for you comfortably."
