Chapter 192: Killing All Venerables

"Is this an attempt to attain sainthood through the physical body?!" Yuechan exclaimed, looking at Shi Hao with astonishment in her eyes.

Xiyao was also quite shocked: "That golden giant looked immensely powerful, yet Shi Hao was actually able to match it blow for blow. This strength is too terrifying; among our peers, I fear only Brother Mengchen could contend with him!"

Hearing Xiyao's exclamation, Yuechan turned to the side, her attitude gentle as she smiled and said: "Little sister! The world is vast and boundless, and there are countless capable people and strange talents. When you ascend to the Upper Realm in the future, you will discover that there are many who are breathtaking. I must say, perhaps no one in the Lower Realm can contend with those two anymore, but once you reach the Upper Realm, that is not necessarily the case. I fear they might not even rank in the front row."

Because of the care Xiyao had shown her in the past, Yuechan had always kept it in her heart. Therefore, although she was stronger than Xiyao, she remained very affectionate when facing her and did not have the slightest intention of looking down on her.

"Yuechan Xianzi, are there really so many powerful people in the Upper Realm?" Xiyao asked with a serious face.

Yuechan responded with a sweet smile: "Only more, not fewer!"

Upon hearing this, Xiyao said with extreme solemnity: "Brother Mengchen will certainly go to the Upper Realm in the future. It seems I must cultivate even harder so that I can stand by his side then and not become a burden."

She said these words to herself; they were her goal for effort.

"Silly girl, I really don't understand what you see in him! A lecher, yet he is worth you being like this for him." Yuechan frowned, looking at the figure in the distance.

Xiyao looked at Yuechan and said: "Perhaps in the eyes of Yuechan Xianzi, Brother Mengchen's behavior seems a bit frivolous, not like a good person, but..."

After a slight pause, she raised her eyes to look at Mengchen: "But in my heart, he has always been a good person, he still is, and he always will be in the future..."

"Perhaps..." Yuechan replied. She could see that Xiyao's eyes were filled entirely with Mengchen, so she found it difficult to continue.

Following this, the two fell silent and raised their eyes to look at where Mengchen was.

There, nine divine patterns covered the world, Runes permeated the entire heaven and earth, and endless divine radiance bloomed in that place.

At this moment, Mengchen's physical body was enveloped in boundless brilliance; he held the Gilded Zen Staff, fighting with invincible courage.

Now, he was trapped in the encirclement of the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree, the Five-Colored Deer, two Venerables of the Jinu Zu, and four Venerables of the Fire Bird Clan.

"Strike quickly and kill this brat!" the Five-Colored Deer Venerable roared, for at this moment, it had noticed that the Nine-Headed Snake and Purple Gold Ant Venerables had already died.

Even that golden giant was now unable to protect itself.

"Whoosh..." After the angry shout, the Five-Colored Deer raised its hands, took off the pair of antlers on its head that radiated five-colored divine light, and sacrificed them to kill Mengchen.

This pair of antlers erupted with five-colored divine light, connecting and merging during the attack, rotating like a sharp, peerless five-colored divine disk.

"Don't hold anything back; if we delay any longer, we will all die." Yinshi Zunzhe roared, then also sacrificed a divine artifact—a Silver Halberd, entirely silver-white, radiating peerless divine might.

"Swoosh..." The Silver Halberd exploded outward, slicing through the long sky and bringing with it bursts of rumbling sounds.

"Golden Crow Precious Technique!" Immediately after, those two Jinu Zu powerhouses erupted with terrifying divine light.

Endless Runes rushed into the sky; suddenly, the horizon was shrouded by Golden Crows, pressing down step by step. Suddenly, two peerless Golden Crows shot down from the Nine Heavens, their aura terrifyingly peerless, like two suns shooting down, accompanied by scorching, terrifying flames while blooming with endless golden light.

Finally, those four Fire Bird Clan Venerables also each sacrificed their Precious Techniques.

"Today, you all must die!" Mengchen's face was ferocious. He pushed the Undying Scripture within his body to the limit. The moment the peerless divine patterns appeared, the blood splattered on his face was evaporated in an instant.

"Kunpeng Precious Technique! Zhenhuang Precious Technique!"

"Rise!" As Mengchen formed seals, two streams of Runes appeared within his body. In an instant, one gold and one red light reappeared; the Zhenhuang and Kunpeng soared into the sky, meeting the two Golden Crows that had shot down.

Subsequently, his Cave Heaven glowed, and his Spirit Body, manifested from the Supreme Bone technique, flew out to attack the four Fire Bird Clan Venerables.

Immediately after, Mengchen's cold light was sharp; the Gilded Zen Staff in his hand erupted with endless divine light. He smashed it out with all his might, "Bang... Crack..." In almost a single encounter, the Five-Colored Deer Antlers and the Silver Halberd shattered instantly.

Then he seized the opportunity to advance, the wings of the Zhenhuang and Kunpeng merging, his speed pushed to the limit, fast as lightning and impossible to capture.

"Telling you to meddle in other people's business—die!"

Mengchen arrived in front of the Five-Colored Deer Venerable in an instant; his speed was simply too great, too fast for it to even deploy defenses.

"Boom..."

The Gilded Zen Staff smashed into the chest of the Five-Colored Deer Venerable, causing its chest bones to shatter and its wounds to gape wide, thereby knocking it into the magma, where it turned into nothingness.

"Ah! How is this possible!" Yinshi Zunzhe was terrified and sacrificed a precious artifact, intending to flee.

Under such extreme speed from Mengchen's two combined techniques, how could it possibly escape?

"Swoosh..." With a sound of piercing the air, Mengchen cut off its path, directly crossing the sky to launch a heaven-defying strike. The Gilded Zen Staff smashed onto the forehead of Yinshi Zunzhe, extinguishing its life force.

"Whoosh!" At this moment, the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree suddenly launched a surprise attack, blood-colored roots suddenly appearing from the void. "Hmph! It's your turn." Mengchen rotated the staff in his hand, repelling the blood-colored roots, and then aimed directly at the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree.

At this moment, Mengchen put away the Gilded Zen Staff in his hand. He drove the Zhenhuang technique, appearing as if he had transformed into a Zhenhuang. A huge Zhenhuang appeared on his body surface, flapping its wings with surging flames.

"I will make you wish you were dead!" Facing the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree, Mengchen became incomparably fierce at this moment, his entire body radiating endless killing intent.

"Ah!" The Zhenhuang let out a long cry, spewing True Fire that enveloped the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree.

"Flying Phoenix Claw!"

Mengchen, as if transformed into a Zhenhuang, flapped his wings. As he danced with his claws, the trunk of the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree was torn open with hundreds of wounds, causing blood-colored sap to flow out, which was instantly evaporated by the surrounding True Fire.

"Ah..." The Iron-Blood Ancient Tree shrieked as the Phoenix True Fire began to close in, finally setting it completely ablaze.

It pushed its Divine Power to suppress the fire, but it was useless; the True Fire was inextinguishable and continued to burn.

The True Fire burned its body and its soul; the endless pain was unbearable.

"Ah..." Under the burning of the Phoenix True Fire, the Iron-Blood Ancient Tree finally turned to ashes, dying amidst wails.

"Ah..." Screams rang out; under the attack of the Spirit Body, the four Fire Bird Clan Venerables were unable to withstand a single blow and were all slaughtered.

The "Manifestation of the True Self" is a divine ability that creates a terrifying warrior, moving forward with top-tier combat power. Added to the fact that these four Venerables had previously been heavily injured by Mengchen, they quickly met their end.

"Boom..."

Above the horizon, a loud explosion erupted; the two Golden Crows were smashed to pieces, turning into bursts of light rain that scattered.

"It's your turn!" Mengchen remotely controlled the two Precious Techniques, launching an attack on the two Venerables of the Jinu Zu.

The result was no surprise; the Zhenhuang and Kunpeng killed them together. The two were blasted to death and fell into the magma. The magma churned, and their corpses and bones melted, leaving nothing behind.

"Hoo..." Having done all this, Mengchen let out a long breath. Successively wielding the Gilded Zen Staff and using supreme Divine Arts, the consumption was truly not small.

But fortunately, the eleven Cave Heavens behind him were continuously absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to supply him; otherwise, he could not have withstood such terrifying consumption.

From this, it is not hard to see that the Extreme Realm of Cave Heaven is a divine aid for cultivators. As long as one is not facing a terrifying life-and-death battle against an equal, one will basically not experience the phenomenon of Divine Power exhaustion and the inability to continue fighting.

Following this, Mengchen collected the corpse of Yinshi Zunzhe and gathered together with Shi Hao, Xiaohuang, and the others.

The golden giant that had previously fought Shi Hao had also been killed.

The enemies were all dead, and the opportunity was right before their eyes. They did not hesitate and continued to fly toward the Sun God Tree.

However, just as they approached this golden ancient tree, they discovered that their figures had turned into specks of dust, falling before the tree roots.

Just a moment ago, this Sun Ancient Tree looked only one foot tall, but once they were close, they were countless times smaller than it, and looking at the Sun Ancient Tree from this perspective, they became so insignificant.

"Let's go! Climb the Sun Ancient Tree; the Chaos Ancient Palace on the tree crown must hold a great opportunity!" Mengchen said.

The tree crown was truly too high, and just as they were about to rush onto the ancient tree, there was a "Boom...!" sound.

Everyone was knocked over and sent flying, unable to get close.

"Not good, there is a restriction!" Mengchen's expression sank, sensing something ominous.

Seeing the opportunity right before their eyes, yet finding it difficult to ascend the tree, they were all blocked by a layer of golden light.

"This tree is extraordinary; look, it gestates galaxies, and every leaf supports a star, clearly birthing the power of a Great World; it requires a Small World as a catalyst to open," Xiaohuang said, pointing at the ancient tree leaves above with a look of astonishment.

"A Small World?" Shi Hao's heart stirred, and he said, "I happen to have one."

As he finished speaking, he took a box from his bosom; it was the World Treasure Box, a Small World sealed within bronze.

"Brother Mengchen, help me," Shi Hao said as he took it out and called out, then radiated Divine Power to activate it.

Seeing this, Mengchen and the others were all stunned, and then pleasantly surprised.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, they acted swiftly, rapidly triggering the power of the Small World and rushing into the golden light screen at high speed.

Entering the light screen, there were effectively no more obstacles, and Mengchen, Shi Hao, and the others rapidly climbed upward, their target pointed directly at the Ancient Palace atop the tree crown.
