"First Rank?!"

"In the Wu Lin Martial Arts world, there is actually a latecomer who has reached the First Rank Indestructible Realm?"

The contemporary Tianyangzi knelt on one knee, looking at that black-sun-demon-god-like figure, and Xun Heihu who was stubbornly blocking in front of the opponent, feeling both shocked and bitter in his heart...

"It is extremely simple for us to suppress Third Rank and Middle Rank martial artists with mental momentum... but to suppress me, a Second Rank, with momentum... could it be that Master Black Lotus has already ascended to the Super Rank?"

"What a pity. If I had known earlier that Xun Heihu had such aptitude, I would have taken him into the Tianyang Sect and passed the title of 'Tianyangzi' to him... If this child practiced in seclusion for decades, he might not be unable to break through to the realm above the First Rank..."

The previous generation of Tianyangzi of the Tianyang Sect was besieged to death by the demonic army, and he had hastily taken the position and was only at the Second Rank cultivation now.

But looking at it now, if Xun Heihu had the inheritance and resources of the Nine Great Sects... perhaps decades later, he could really fight Master Black Lotus fairly!

That's right, even Xun Heihu, who was regarded as having astonishing aptitude, in Tianyangzi's view, would need decades to have the qualification to fight Master Black Lotus head-on!

Even, he must have no interference and fight fairly.

Otherwise, even if he fought his way to Master Black Lotus, he wouldn't know how many checkpoints of evil experts he would have to pass.

Master Black Lotus's blood and energy were like a furnace, turning into wolf smoke above his head and rising.

A hint of pitch-black luster appeared in his eyes, staring at Xun Heihu: "So it's you... you finally came."

"Not bad, I came."

Xun Heihu sighed, operating the "Eastern Zhenwu Art."

In an instant, regardless of Master Black Lotus's astonishing momentum and strong mental pressure, Xun Heihu stood like a reef in a stormy sea, standing tall and even having spare energy.

"Not bad, not bad..."

Master Black Lotus was even more delighted: "I have cultivated martial arts for many years and have never been able to ascend above the First Rank... until recently, under the enlightenment of Pan Wu, I have some clues... The martial arts of the world: the Lower Three Ranks are just the foundation of hard work; the Middle Three Ranks accumulate internal strength; only the Upper Three Ranks are a true qualitative change. Third Rank Mountain-Crushing can resist a thousand armies; Second Rank Spirit-Sea opens the mental sea; First Rank Indestructible can truly be mentally indestructible and hold many wonders... But in my Buddhist sect, even if one produces a sarira, so what? The physical body still cannot be liberated, and once the limit is reached, the best outcome is rainbow transformation..."

"Therefore, this old monk concluded that above the First Rank, there must be a brand-new realm; I ask the lay practitioner for enlightenment..."

His voice was slow, not showing any domineering air at all.

He even placed himself in a lower position to ask for advice.

This change immediately stunned Tianyangzi, Du Qiankun, and the others.

Even Tian Ni and Zhuge Wu, who were fighting, lightened their hands by several points unintentionally.

They were all First Rank grandmasters and naturally yearned for the realm above the First Rank.

But Xun Heihu was merely a Wu Lin wanderer; even if he cultivated to the First Rank, could he exceed the accumulation of many people in the Nine Great Sects over many years and touch the Super Rank realm?

"Second Rank Spirit-Sea opens the sea of spirit, cultivating the 'Spirit' among the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit... Only when the spirit is powerful can one be mentally indestructible and step into the First Rank."

Xun Heihu said calmly: "But the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit are one body. The next step is to advance from 'Spirit Merging with Heaven and Earth' to 'Body Merging with Heaven and Earth,' further achieving the unity of heaven and man, and returning to the void... I have named it Super Rank—the Void Realm!"

While speaking, Xun Heihu stepped forward step by step.

Taking the first step, he actually stepped directly into the air.

By the second step, it was as if there were invisible steps in the void to receive him, causing him to ascend step by step, finally arriving in mid-air.

The giant strange beast eagle was startled and flew higher, not knowing how this human learned to fly.

One must know, even the First Rank Indestructible Realm is only somewhat special in terms of spirit.

But physical flight? It's still a dream!

At this moment, Xun Heihu had achieved it.

"Super Rank?"

"Actually Super Rank?"

"Physical flight... am I dreaming?"

A group of martial arts people were completely stunned.

Don't look at flight as if it's very simple in a supernatural world; in reality, it is extremely extraordinary.

Especially being able to fly physically has almost become the benchmark for distinguishing low-martial from mid-martial!

This world actually hadn't grown to the point of supporting a Super Rank "Void Realm" martial artist.

But the power of the Eastern Zhenwu Talisman lay in forcibly resisting the world's suppression and pulling Xun Heihu up to this realm.

"Void Realm? Truly profound..."

A smile appeared on Master Black Lotus's face, not showing the slightest anxiety or fear... only a kind of great tranquility, great peace, and great joy.

This is the detachment of "hearing the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening!"

"Please enlighten me, Senior!"

Master Black Lotus's internal energy was fierce, and an indescribably thick internal power soared into the sky, as if forming a hurricane!

And in the hurricane, the internal strength that was originally invisible to the naked eye actually "materialized,"

forming a black lotus flower that was slowly blooming.

The black lotus opened petal by petal, revealing a demon god phantom standing on the pitch-black lotus platform.

It had one head and two arms, looking about the same as an ordinary person, but it was pitch black, formed by pure internal power.

The demon god was armored, and its facial features vaguely resembled Master Black Lotus, yet were also distinctly different.

"This... spirit influencing matter?"

"Internal power taking shape to this extent, I'm afraid it's only one step away from breaking through to Super Rank, right?"

Tianyangzi only glanced at that pitch-black figure, and in his heart, he could no longer generate the thought of being an enemy of the opponent.

"This kind of momentum is the first among all generations of grandmasters... but..."

All martial artists looked at Xun Heihu standing in the air, as if they were seeing a god.

"Black Lotus Thousand Wishes!"

Accompanied by Master Black Lotus's voice, the huge internal power figure moved accordingly.

Pitch-black lotus flowers bloomed in mid-air, carrying Buddhist chants.

The expressions of Tianyangzi and the others changed immediately; they felt that the internal power exploded by the pitch-black lotus flowers could easily severely injure them!

Even, even if it was just the Buddhist chants in the void, they could make Middle

Three Ranks martial artists lose their ability to act!

"Hoo..."

Facing this move, Xun Heihu let out a long breath: "Sure enough... you haven't broken through to Super Rank yet. The so-called Void Realm involves a trace of void power—Void Palm!"

He slapped out, carrying a hint of void strangulation.

Clatter!

That huge black shadow, countless black lotuses... facing the strangulation of the void, what did they count for?

Bang!

A palm print abruptly appeared in the void, landing on Master Black Lotus's chest!

Master Black Lotus's chest bones were shattered, he vomited mouthfuls of blood, his figure kept retreating, and finally fell to the ground.

"Hoo hoo..."

Accompanied by Master Black Lotus vomiting a breath of blood foam, his body suddenly withered and became thin... and he turned back into that bone-thin monk appearance.

"This old monk... what have I done?"

At the moment of his death, Master Black Lotus seemed to have turned back into Master Lianxin, his eyes carrying horror: "Beware of Lianxin! He..."

Bang!

The next instant, Master Lianxin's head exploded directly, and his corpse was poured with oil by Xun Heihu and burned violently.

"This..."

Seeing Xun Heihu's actions, Tianyangzi had a strange expression.

And Du Qiankun and the others had expressions as if they were about to break down.

Master Black Lotus, who conquered the entire northern Martial Arts world and made the southern Martial Arts world panic, just died like this?

Even if he took ten thousand steps back, Xun Heihu could win, at least he should have fought for three days and three nights, and then luckily won by a move or half a move, right?

How could it be... so crisp and neat?

"Sorry... I was a bit heavy-handed."

Xun Heihu let out a long breath, revealing a relieved smile.

In reality, that palm of his was also his full strength, and he had even prepared to escape directly if they couldn't decide the winner within ten moves.

It looks okay now; Super Rank hitting Half-Step Super Rank should be such a crushing victory!

"However, what did he mean by that last sentence?"

Xun Heihu asked.

"Probably the problem of Pan Wu's remnant poison... But this kind of thing cannot be solved at all. Even if you find all the seeds this time and exterminate them all, in a few thousand or ten thousand years... Pan Wu will cultivate

another batch."

Fang Xing answered lazily.

"A few thousand or ten thousand years?"

Xun Heihu couldn't help but be silent. Upon reaching the Upper Three Ranks of the Martial Way, they were all grandmasters who could open sects, and they had a very precise and subtle grasp of their body's vitality.

And the Super Rank Void Realm goes without saying.

He now knew his lifespan was about a thousand years.

After a few thousand years, wouldn't he have long ago turned into a pile of white bones?

"So, you don't have a very good method; perhaps... you can pass down the Eastern Zhenwu lineage? And then throw this mission to the descendants?"

Fang Xing laughed and gave an idea.

"Ah!??!??!"

And at this time, Tian Ni, who was fighting with Zhuge Wu and the monk Monk Qing Yong, suddenly screamed, holding her head.

Her eyes turned red, but her internal energy increased instead of decreasing, appearing crazy.

If Tian Ni's moves were incomparably exquisite before, at this moment she had become a "martial arts maniac!"

"Hero Xun, why is Tian Ni like this?"

Tianyangzi approached, watching three pitch-black sariras fly out from Master Black Lotus's charred corpse and fall into Xun Heihu's hands, but he pretended not to see and asked.

"After the 'god' dies, god-worshipping martial artists are like this... The best outcome is becoming a martial arts maniac."

Xun Heihu flashed into the battlefield of the three First Ranks, his energy surging, forcing back Zhuge Wu and the monk Monk Qing Yong, and pointed a finger at Tian Ni's brow: "I will teach you the 'Eastern Zhenwu Visualization Diagram'; Tian Ni, why don't you wake up quickly?"

Tian Ni's actions stalled; in her sea of consciousness, a Eastern Zhenwu Dharma image was slowly condensing.

It sat on the Black Tortoise, wearing a Daoist robe, and its face vaguely had the shape of Xun Heihu!

After all, Tian Ni could no longer cultivate the visualization method from scratch and could only have Xun Heihu inject his own visualization diagram into the opponent's sea of consciousness.

Even so, if she weren't a First Rank grandmaster skilled in mental changes, she wouldn't be able to do this at all.

The madness in Tian Ni's eyes was rapidly dissipating; she suddenly knelt and kowtowed to Xun Heihu with both hands together, her expression incomparably pious: "Seeing the Venerable is like seeing the True God; I ask the Venerable to show mercy and allow Tianxin to serve by your side..."

At this moment, Xun Heihu seemed to hear the sounds of many broken hearts.
