Chapter 554: Jin Jin Chixiaopeng Is Liberated, the Fourth Immortal Qi: Void Immortal Qi

Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao didn't dwell on matters concerning the Tyrant King.

When he finally stepped onto the Ultimate Ancient Path, he'd naturally encounter him.

If the Tyrant King refused to show respect, Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao had no qualms about severing his bloodline entirely.

"First, let's refine this immortal marrow vein." Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao murmured.

He activated the Divine Elephant Subjugating Hell Force and summoned the Heavenly Furnace.

Simultaneously, he activated the Devouring Soul Demon Art.

The two devouring and refining powers erupted, and the immortal marrow vein began to be violently absorbed by Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao.

On his skin's surface, the nascent form of Void Immortal Qi appeared.

This semi-phantom nascent form of Qi grew increasingly solid as the immortal marrow was absorbed.

At that moment, everyone in the training ground who witnessed this was stunned.

They had all assumed Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao had encountered a fatal crisis, possibly facing great peril.

Who could have imagined such danger was effortlessly dispelled by Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao?

"No wonder he's the Jun Clan's divine son—I thought he'd activate the Jade Seal." The Commander sighed.

"Hah! Old hag, see that?" The Nine-Headed Lion wagged his tail, beaming with delight.

Kong Xuan fell silent, her expression grim.

Then, she suddenly spotted a scene on the screen, her eyes instantly blazing with joy.

"The Buddha Boy has also found an immortal marrow vein—he's about to condense his second Immortal Qi!" Kong Xuan exclaimed.

Everyone had been focused on Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao; only now did they notice that the Jade Buddha Boy, the Void Sword Prince, the Sea God's Third Prince, and others had each found their own immortal marrow veins and were beginning to condense their second Immortal Qi.

"The Buddha Boy is already about to condense his second Immortal Qi, while Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao is still working on his first—who's stronger? Need I say more?" Kong Xuan smirked at the Nine-Headed Lion, her confidence restored.

The Nine-Headed Lion grinned awkwardly, then insisted, "So what? Immortal Qi doesn't represent everything."

"Until you see the coffin, you won't shed a tear—let's wait and see." Kong Xuan's expression was eager, hoping to witness the Jade Buddha Boy subjugating Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao.

The trial on the Hell Star continued.

More than half of the prodigies who entered the Hell Star had already perished in this short time.

Most of the remaining prodigies stayed active above Layer Ten, daring not to descend below.

Only Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao and a few others could venture deep without restraint.

In another immortal marrow vein.

The Jade Buddha Boy sat cross-legged.

Around him, Buddhist light shimmered; his entire aura was transcendent, like a jade-carved, beautiful Buddha.

Suddenly, at a certain moment, the Jade Buddha Boy sensed something and spoke calmly: "Come out."

Before him, a heroic figure appeared—golden hair flowing, great roc wings unfolding—it was Jin Jin Chixiaopeng.

"Jin Jin Chixiaopeng, I have no grudge or feud with you."

Seeing the arrival, the Jade Buddha Boy said calmly.

"I don't care what method you used to bewitch Kong Xuan into losing her mind, but you're unworthy to be her master!" Jin Jin Chixiaopeng's pupils flashed with cold light.

Hearing this, the Jade Buddha Boy smiled faintly and shook his head. "All mortals are blinded by emotion; I never thought even a descendant of the Golden Roc Clan could escape it. If so, let this Buddha Boy liberate you."

"It won't be that simple!"

Jin Jin Chixiaopeng struck without hesitation, spreading his roc wings as one hundred thousand sword feathers exploded outward.

Simultaneously, behind him, a faint shadow of a Kunpeng seemed to manifest.

This was not the Kunpeng's great divine art, but an arcane transformation Jin Jin Chixiaopeng achieved after absorbing the Kunpeng's true blood.

"Oh, no wonder you're confident—you received the Kunpeng's true blood from Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao."

The Jade Buddha Boy was slightly surprised by this sight, yet his expression remained calm.

He also moved, striking out with one hand.

His palm glowed like gilded metal, radiating brilliant Buddhist light.

A " Wan " Buddhist seal appeared, exuding a vast, overwhelming aura.

Jin Jin Chixiaopeng let out a clear cry, gathering all one hundred thousand sword feathers into a single golden divine sword, slashing horizontally.

The two clashed instantly.

Outside, in the training ground, watching the screen, Kong Xuan's expression grew slightly complex.

She knew full well that Jin Jin Chixiaopeng had attacked the Jade Buddha Boy for her sake.

Yet, after a moment's thought, she shook her head slightly and murmured, "Jin Jin Chixiaopeng, you're still too naive—the Buddha Boy is not someone anyone can challenge."

In her heart, the Jade Buddha Boy was the supreme, unrivaled existence.

Jin Jin Chixiaopeng facing him was like an egg striking a rock.

And indeed, that was precisely what happened.

After only dozens of exchanges, Jin Jin Chixiaopeng was already beginning to falter.

He roared to the heavens, golden hair whipping wildly, a nascent form of Immortal Qi appearing on his body.

Seeing this, the Jade Buddha Boy shook his head slightly; on his own body, a verdant Immortal Qi emerged.

It was the Bodhi Immortal Qi he had condensed with his Bodhi Buddha Mind.

Carrying the Bodhi Immortal Qi, the Jade Buddha Boy pressed down with one palm, speaking calmly: "The Golden Roc has deep ties to my Buddha path; in time, you may become my guardian."

BOOM!

The blow struck down, and Jin Jin Chixiaopeng spat blood and was flung backward.

The Jade Buddha Boy murmured, activating the Liberation Technique.

Vast Buddhist chants echoed across the land.

Jin Jin Chixiaopeng clutched his head and screamed.

But after a moment, his struggles ceased; his face was blank, his eyes hollow and numb.

"Master." Jin Jin Chixiaopeng spoke without emotion.

"Heh… guard for me outside." The Jade Buddha Boy smiled faintly.

"Yes." Jin Jin Chixiaopeng gave a slight nod.

Outside the Hell Star, in the training ground, many prodigies felt their scalps tingle.

The Liberation Technique of the Little Western Heaven was too eerie.

"Do you think, when the Jun Clan's divine son meets him, he'll be liberated too?"

"Unclear, but the Jun Clan's divine son's Primordial Spirit cultivation seems strong too."

Many speculated.

Time slipped away, second by second.

The Jade Buddha Boy, the Void Sword Prince, and the Sea God's Third Prince each used an immortal marrow vein to condense their second Immortal Qi.

Their power surged dramatically, placing them among the true elite of this Emperor Path.

"Keep going deeper—I want to see what the Eighteenth Layer truly looks like…"

The three young titans unanimously chose to press deeper.

Not only had their power surged, but they also possessed jade talismans granting them fifteen minutes of immunity to field suppression, so they feared no danger.

And around the same time,

Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao, seated atop the immortal marrow vein, suddenly trembled.

The entire immortal marrow vein had been fully absorbed.

On his body, the semi-phantom nascent form of Void Immortal Qi finally solidified completely, becoming a true Void Immortal Qi.

"Finally achieved—the fourth Immortal Qi." Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao exhaled deeply.

The world believed this was his first Immortal Qi.

Few knew this was already Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao's fourth condensed Immortal Qi.

"Keep descending." Jun Within Jun Xiaoyao set out again.

He intended not only to explore the Nineteenth Layer of the Hell Star, but also to deal with those three young titans.
