Chapter 157: I Am Xia Yu

Realms: Dao Source Realm, Dao Master Realm, Dao Lord Realm, Dao Emperor Realm, Dao Imperial Realm, Eternal Master…

It is said that after Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que entered the reincarnation passage, they found themselves in a dazzling space!

White specks of light, like a galaxy, poured down from above their heads and streaked rapidly around them!

The two were propelled upward by a transporting force, and the space seemed like a time tunnel; that mysterious power was carrying them toward a secret world!

"This reincarnation passage truly offers a different kind of scenery." Huyan Que clasped his hands to his chest, feeling extremely refreshed.

Finally he could leave that damned lower plane and return to Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu; he had been knocked down for so many years that he could no longer recall!

During those long years, his cultivation had barely progressed, stalled for ages, because that lower plane simply could not support his practice!

He is now in the late stage of Dao Source Realm; had he not been knocked down and remained in Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu for all those years, with a bit of luck and a few good opportunities, he would likely have already entered the Dao Master Realm.

"I never realized the reincarnation passage had such a splendid side before."

Huyan Que looked wistfully at the white specks flowing around like a river, resembling a series of paintings.

If those white specks were magnified infinitely, one would find that each speck is a whole plane world!

Li Zhangsheng also clasped his hands to his chest, expressionless, watching the surroundings.

The surrounding scene was indeed spectacular and pleasing; he sensed a massive circular air wall around them, separating them from the dazzling specks outside!

"I wonder what would happen if I threw a punch at the surroundings."

Li Zhangsheng muttered inwardly, but restrained that mischievous curiosity.

When nothing blocked his path, he also disliked using his fist to forge a way; entering the Immortal Realm had been a reluctant move!!

The two were being transmitted smoothly, encountering no danger; the reincarnation passage was like a massive cross‑realm transparent elevator—just wait calmly to be sent to the proper exit.

So entering the reincarnation passage to reach Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu seemed fairly simple.

Li Zhangsheng thought this.

However, the surrounding scene soon dispelled that notion!

In an instant, the two vanished into darkness.

The surrounding galaxy‑like white specks disappeared.

The space around began to warp, and a terrifying tearing force frantically ripped at Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que, trying to shred them apart!

Before this dreadful tearing force, even a top‑grade Immortal Emperor, without a powerful defensive treasure, would likely be torn apart; this must be the so‑called peril of the reincarnation passage.

But for Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que, the surrounding tearing force felt like a child tickling them!

Huyan Que, being a cultivator of Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu, has a physique far surpassing a top‑grade Immortal Emperor, so the tearing force could not threaten him.

As for Li Zhangsheng, need not say more.

Boom—boom—boom…

Soon, crackling thunder boomed from above, and terrifying nine‑colored divine thunder spiraled overhead.

Clearly, not far above them lay a terrifying thunder‑electric zone.

The nine‑colored divine thunder is a rare type of lightning; its dreadful power could kill an ordinary Immortal Emperor with a single strike!

Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que continued ascending at the same speed, the transmission force propelling them toward the raging thunder zone!

"We've reached the nine‑colored divine thunder zone; we're about to enter Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu." Huyan Que looked up at the thunder area, excitement evident; clearly he was familiar with the passage, knowing that passing through this zone would lead to Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu.

Huyan Que gathered his breath, a white barrier enveloped him.

He prepared his defense, ready to pass through the nine‑colored divine thunder zone.

He had experienced the power of the nine‑colored divine thunder; although he was in the late Dao Source Realm with a strong body, being engulfed still caused him pain.

Though not fatal, he hated the pain, so he added an extra layer of defense to block the nine‑colored divine thunder!!

Li Zhangsheng still clasped his hands to his chest, glanced lightly at the nine‑colored thunder zone, as if it were nothing.

Although the nine‑colored divine thunder was the most formidable lightning he had ever seen, Li Zhangsheng did not think it could pose even the slightest threat—a confident intuition!

Zilala!

Soon, Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que found themselves in a sea of densely packed nine‑colored lightning, which surged over them, slapping their bodies and unleashing terrifying, unparalleled power!

They continued ascending!

Before long, they passed through the nine‑colored lightning zone.

If a top‑grade Immortal Emperor crossed the rift and lightning zones, they would surely remark on how thrilling the journey was, since any peril could cause a fall with a slight misstep.

But Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que felt nothing; a journey of this magnitude was not worth remembering.

Gurururu!

Above their heads was an enormous, boundless rotating black‑and‑white barrier, turning slowly like a massive gear in motion!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

A moment later, the two bodies merged into the black‑and‑white barrier.

……

It was an endless sea, bathed in abundant sunlight, a gentle breeze brushing the surface; the sparkling waves resembled countless golden dragons cresting the crests!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two figures appeared without warning above the glittering sea!

It was Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que.

"Ah, a familiar aura." Huyan Que closed his eyes, breathing the long‑missed atmosphere, seeming to enjoy it.

"Is this Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu?" Li Zhangsheng looked around; all he saw was sea after sea!

He released his divine sense, intending to probe this realm thoroughly!

But soon, Li Zhangsheng's brows twitched slightly.

He realized his divine sense's coverage had become limited, far less expansive than in the Immortal Realm.

He took a step forward!

Swish!

Li Zhangsheng appeared in another place, and the distance he could cross was far less than when he was in the immortal realm.

He felt that the sense of space in this world was heavy, and crossing it felt obstructed!

"Is it because of this world's laws?"

"The skills learned in the immortal realm seem insufficient in this world..."

Li Zhangsheng muttered to himself.

"Master!" Huyan Que followed up, finding it strange that Li Zhangsheng suddenly left without calling him.

Boom!

Suddenly, Li Zhangsheng released his aura!

"Master… Master!" Huyan Que strainedly looked at Li Zhangsheng, somewhat puzzled and frightened, thinking Li Zhangsheng was going to get rid of him.

"The aura's range has shrunk, but the strength seems… still the same as before." Li Zhangsheng glanced at the straining Huyan Que, then immediately withdrew his aura!

"Master, what is this…?" Huyan Que curiously looked at Li Zhangsheng, not understanding why Li Zhangsheng would release his aura for no reason.

"After coming to this world, the range and movement speed of my divine sense have both decreased." Li Zhangsheng said lightly.

"Master, this is normal." Huyan Que said: "The planar law power of Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu is tens of thousands of times stronger than that of lower planes; you are using techniques and secret arts from a lower plane, so they naturally aren't enough here in Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu!"

Once you learn the techniques and secret arts of Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu, you will adapt.

I can sense that your power is great, comparable to that of a Dao Lord Realm or higher, but your range of manifestation and attack is limited; perhaps this is because you haven't learned the techniques and secret arts of Yuan Zhi Sheng Tu!

"Do I need to learn new skills?" Li Zhangsheng muttered.

Howl!

Just then, a deep roar came from beneath the sea surface!

Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que both looked downward!

Only see: in the sea, a huge bluish-black thing was moving upward at extreme speed, as if a huge island were rising!

Splash!

That thing emerged from the sea surface; it was a huge humanoid creature, its body covered in bluish-black scales, with many bony protrusions on its face, ferocious and terrifying!!

It was obvious that Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que had stepped into this creature's territory, alarming it.

Boom!

A terrifying aura instantly spread across the sky, killing intent enveloped Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que, and it swung its huge scaled arm to strike at them!

It attacked without reason, somewhat unreasonably.

"It's a peak Dao Source Realm sea demon!" Huyan Que's expression turned slightly solemn!

Li Zhangsheng slightly narrowed his eyes and extended his finger!!

Although his attack range is limited after coming to this world, that bluish-black creature is close enough to him that killing it is more than enough!

Swish!

Just as Li Zhangsheng was about to act, a terrifying flame suddenly whistled in from the side, like a huge boundless meteorite flying from afar, its target straight at that sea demon!

Upon closer look, that flame was actually carried by an arrow!

In the blink of an eye, the flame-carrying arrow pierced the sea demon's head; the sea demon's huge head exploded, flames raged, and the intense heat made the whole area scorching!

Splash!

The sea demon instantly lost vitality; its headless corpse sank into the sea, countless bubbles rose!

Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que looked toward the direction from which the flame-arrow flew!

Only see: a woman with disheveled hair, wearing a white robe, holding a long bow, barefoot stepping through the air!

She stepped in one stride to stand before Li Zhangsheng and the two, gazing at the sea demon's corpse sunk in the sea as if looking at her own spoils, she giggled: "Hehe, I've killed another sea demon!"

Then she turned her head to look at Li Zhangsheng and Huyan Que, smiling with sweet dimples, pure and charming: "Hey, which island are you two from, daring to enter the sea demon zone, seeking death?"

Her eyes lingered on Li Zhangsheng, her gaze slightly stunned for a moment, then she extended her hand, as smooth and white as sheep-fat jade:

"Hello, let me introduce myself, I'm Xia Yu!"
