Chapter 155: with translation of chapter title

"Just this?"

Chen Zheng crushed Lu Lanpo's nascent spirit, seized the clusters of divine abilities that burst out, took a look, and his brows furrowed instantly.

This person's nascent spirit contains only thirty-five kinds of divine abilities.

Moreover, most are merely great divine abilities, with only eight supreme divine abilities.

As for the three thousand great Dao, not a single one.

This old woman is too shabby, not even comparable to Wang Daoling, basically a trash among the ancient titans.

At least Wang Daoling contributed fifty-five kinds of divine abilities to Chen Zheng, including a branch of the great yin-yang art like the Yin-Yang Annihilation Divine Light.

And this old woman, who is of the same realm as Wang Daoling, falls far short of him, not even comparable to Wan Lianshan and Sima Teng of the Divine Ability Secret Realm, truly inadequate.

Actually, Lu Lanpo's kind of Free Cultivator without inheritance is exactly like this.

Such ancient titans of hers are commonplace in the extraterritorial starry sky; they basically share a trait: few divine abilities, shallow mana, just over a hundred million horsepower, far inferior to those of major sects.

Although these people reign as kings on various planets, ruling hundreds of millions to billions of beings, they are also looked down upon by many major forces, who call them Free Cultivators.

Moreover, for such people to cultivate to the Longevity Secret Realm is already a heavenly blessing; their potential and fortune are exhausted, making any further breakthrough impossible forever.

However, even if shabby, they are still ancient titans; after refinement they will surely increase their mana considerably.

Chen Zheng didn't think much, casually fusing Lu Lanpo's thirty-five divine abilities into his natal golden core.

This time there were no duplicates, bringing his divine abilities to 351 kinds.

Next, he clenched his fist, grabbing the meat-iron patty formed from Lu Lanpo and the Heavenly Beast Staff, instantly refining it into essence and merging it into his body to boost his mana.

In an instant, his mana increased by seventy million horsepower.

Adding the thirty million horsepower from the pure yang vital energy he refined and absorbed over this short period, his mana exactly reached the strength of six primordial heavenly dragons.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Copper Foot Immortal, Dust-Cloud Old Man, and Beautiful Whisker Immortal were almost scared silly, their eyes wide open, bodies trembling incessantly.

It's no wonder they acted like that.

A grand ancient titan, slapped by Chen Zheng, a seventh-layer divine ability cultivator, until his soul and spirit scattered, with no room for resistance; such a bizarre and terrifying sight, even if they dreamed they could never imagine it, how could they not be shocked?

"How can he be this strong? Could he already be comparable to an existence at the second layer of the Immortal Undying Body realm? How long has it been, how long!"

Ru Yi Zi also felt it unbelievable, shocked beyond measure.

In his expectation, Chen Zheng would need to use the Ten Directions Five Elements Pagoda even to match or defeat those three immortals and two elders.

Who would have thought he didn't need that treasure tower at all; just a simple slap killed Lu Lanpo like swatting a fly.

Even a lower-grade Dao artifact was flattened.

What kind of fleshly body is this?

Could it be a medium-grade Dao artifact in human form?

Is Chen Zheng still human?

And how did he cultivate?

Why, after not seeing him for just over a day, has he become this terrifying?

Could it be that Chen Zheng can automatically increase a dragon's strength in a day, with his fleshly body growing daily?

At this moment, Ru Yi Zi was filled with doubt and also felt fear.

Unprecedented fear!

But Chen Zheng won't care how fearful he is; last time he deliberately let this person go so as to lure the three immortals and two elders, saving himself the trouble of seeking them individually.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it's time to send them down.

Boom!

Chen Zheng moved again, his aura surging, tall as a heavenly god, mighty as a demon god, his body supporting heaven and earth, he extended his long arm and slapped toward the four.

In that slap, his palm expanded, expanded, and expanded again, becoming a colossal hand spanning tens of thousands of li, covering the vast heavens, blocking the divine radiance of the great sun, plunging heaven and earth into indescribable darkness, and nearly suffocating Ru Yi Zi and the others.

"Run……"

The remaining two immortals and one elder were horrified, daring not to use divine abilities or Dao artifacts to resist Chen Zheng, knowing resistance futile, they each fled backward in panic.

With merely a pitiful mana of just over a hundred twenty million horsepower, how could they escape from Chen Zheng, who possesses the strength of six primordial heavenly dragons?

There is no hope at all.

Killing them for Chen Zheng is no harder than crushing a chicken!

With a bang!

Copper Foot Immortal screamed miserably, his body torn apart, his lower-grade Dao artifact Copper Foot unable to withstand that immense force, exploding.

Bang bang!

Two more explosions sounded, as Dust-Cloud Old Man and Beautiful Whisker Immortal, in their screams, burst into blood mist.

Ferocious!

Too ferocious!

In an instant, three ancient titans died.

Only Ru Yi Zi remained, putting up a desperate last stand.

Above his head rose a huge picture, spanning tens of thousands of li, far larger than Chen Zheng's palm, and even more vast by a third.

From the picture came the sound of surging waves striking the shore: nine vast rivers rushing wildly, turbulent and mighty, each stretching ten thousand li, winding and twisting, a hundred turns, thousand revolutions, nine curves and eighteen bends.

These nine rivers are actually the exceedingly rare Heavenly Yellow Rivers of the universe, unknown how some peerless expert snatched them from beyond the heavens, refined and sealed them into the picture, their power shocking the mortal world.

This is a middle-grade Dao artifact named the Nine Twists Yellow River Map, not refined by the Feather Ascension Sect, but obtained by Ru Yi Zi by chance from an ancient relic.

"Kill him!"

Ru Yi Zi roared, fleeing wildly into the distance while activating the Nine Twists Yellow River Map's heavenly yellow rivers, causing them to soar like primordial heavenly dragons into the nine heavens, rolling up thousands of wave layers, tens of thousands of giant waves, piercing heaven and earth, like nine immortal-binding chains, locking toward Chen Zheng's sky-covering great hand.

"Indeed, it's far stronger than those few, but only to this extent."

Chen Zheng shook his head; the character "Great" appeared on his extended giant hand, brilliant light bursting forth, his palm expanding once more like a world-destroying great mill, grinding in the void, the nine heavenly yellow rivers instantly shattering, turning into a shower of yellow rain falling from the sky.

"Chen Zheng, you forced me, I will kill you now, kill you! The Nine Curves Yellow River Diagram has been completely refined by me; its artifact spirit and my mind have become one, equivalent to being personally forged by me. Now I will make it self-destruct! Let us perish together! Let's see if you can withstand the power of a middle-grade Dao artifact self-detonation!"

"Ruyizi hadn't fled far when he saw his attack repelled; instantly his eyes turned red, and, as if gone mad, he urged the Nine Curves Yellow River Diagram, causing the diagram to tremble violently, as surging forces rushed inward, emitting a piercing "crack-crack" sound—the diagram's body was disintegrating."

"At this moment, the Nine Curves Yellow River Diagram was like a madly devouring black hole; when the black hole could swallow no more, it would explode completely."

"Such a middle-grade Dao artifact self-detonation—its power simply beyond imagination—could obliterate a celestial body with a radius of 100,000 li."

"Heh."

"Chen Zheng, however, gave a cold smile; with a shake of his palm, the Ten Directions Five Elements Pagoda fell from his hand, expanding in the wind into a towering, five‑colored radiant Heaven-Piercing Pagoda, where Five Elements Divine Thunder raged wildly, as if seeking to obliterate this realm."

"Boom!"

"The Five Elements Pagoda came crashing down onto the Nine Curves Yellow River Diagram, which was about to disintegrate; without any doubt, the diagram's artifact spirit was instantly suppressed and could no longer explode."

"Even the diagram's body was shattered; the various grand formations, materials, miscellaneous junk, and the Nine Rivers of Yellow Heaven all began to collapse."

"If these nine great rivers were to collapse completely, they could flood the Great Xu Dynasty below, causing inundation across the realm and countless deaths."

"But as soon as they began to disperse, the nine rivers—including the shattered diagram—were enveloped by the five‑colored light falling from the Ten Directions Five Elements Pagoda, swept in like wind‑blown clouds, and vanished without a trace."

"All vanished like smoke and clouds."

"Meanwhile, the pagoda's opening was aimed at the tiny Ruyizi, as insignificant as a speck of dust."

"'Tiandu disciple, you must kill Chen Zheng to avenge me!'"

"Ruyizi still had unrevealed techniques."

"He could even self‑destruct."

"But he knew it would be useless; his magic treasures and strength were far inferior to Chen Zheng's."

"After letting out a heart‑rending, despairing howl, he was sucked into the pagoda by the strong emanating suction from its opening and was subdued."
