Chapter 756: Tianshe Wang Xingmou

Yunmeng Guo.

On the vast grasslands.

Clatter, clatter, clatter!! Amidst the bursts of hoofbeats, a pitch-black shadow approached from the distance, like a ball of fire, a leaping black flame.

This black fire was actually a man and a horse; the jet-black horse was extraordinarily magnificent, its entire body like splashed ink, with two small protrusions on its head, as if it were on the verge of growing horns.

On the horse's legs and abdomen were actual fleshy scales! As it ran, it gave one the feeling of the oppressive pressure of an ancient, primordial beast charging toward them.

This type of horse is the number one famous horse in the world, a hybrid of the Yunmeng Black-Blood Horse, the Qilin, and the Dragon, known as the "Black Demon Qilin." With its fleshy scales, it is impervious to blades and spears, and it can carry a thousand catties as if it were merely strolling while carrying a straw.

The man on the horse's back was dressed in black, his face appearing as if carved from marble. His entire body rose and fell with the horse's back, clearly indicating his horsemanship had reached a very profound level.

This man was none other than the Champion Marquis, Yu An.

This Champion Marquis was born with knowledge, and each time his cultivation level rose, different fragments of memory would emerge. Not long ago, he had cultivated the Gui Cang Nine Paths from his memories, and a great wave of memories had surged in. According to these memories, there was a Divine Stone on the Heavenly Pillar waiting for him to retrieve it. Inside that Heavenly Pillar Divine Stone lay an immortal fetus, which would possess the combat power of a Human Immortal from birth, capable of sweeping across the world.

"Champion Marquis, you have ventured deep into Yunmeng Guo all by yourself; where are you headed?"

Just as the Champion Marquis was galloping on his horse, he suddenly heard a cold, soft, and charming voice ring out beside his ear.

"Who is it!?"

The Champion Marquis reined in his horse and let out a sharp shout.

He cultivated the Gui Cang Nine Paths, and his own martial arts were profound; for someone to be able to approach him silently and transmit their voice into his ear, they were clearly no ordinary person. However, upon realizing that this voice belonged to a woman and that the voice was extremely pleasant, a calm smile immediately curled at the corners of the Champion Marquis's mouth.

He swept his eyes across, a divine light that could perceive everything erupting from them, as he looked toward the pitch-black space in the distance.

"Beauty, come out; I have spotted you."

"Oh? To think you discovered me so quickly."

Right after the Champion Marquis's shout, a pitch-black space appeared in front of him, from which stepped out a strange woman with black clothes, black hair, a slender figure, and a pair of marvelous eyes that seemed to contain the galaxy of the heavens.

This woman wore a black dress that was perfectly tailored, flowing like water with graceful lines; in terms of appearance, she was not inferior to anyone in the Champion Marquis's harem.

More importantly, the woman possessed a dark and mysterious temperament.

Wherever she stood, the surrounding light seemed to dim, blending perfectly with the darkness, as if she were the darkness itself, the source of darkness, the center of infinite darkness.

Upon seeing this woman, while the Champion Marquis felt a sense of alarm in his heart, his eyes lit up as he looked her up and down, then laughed heartily: "To think that the legendary Tianshe Wang Xingmou, who traverses the world, would actually admire this Marquis, and for this, be willing to betray the Master of the Profound Heaven Pavilion."

As he spoke, he opened his arms: "Come, this Marquis's embrace is always open for a beauty."

Although he was teasing the beauty before him, the Champion Marquis was already tense, his whole body like a bowstring pulled into a full moon, ready to erupt with earth-shattering combat power at any moment.

This was only because there was only one such woman in the world who seemed born from the darkness.

Tianshe Wang, Xingmou.

Tianshe Wang was also one of the Eight Great Demon Immortals, but unlike the near-bottom-ranked Shen Ying Wang, she was ranked second among the Eight Great Demon Immortals, a top-tier expert in the world, and was also the partner of another great expert, the Master of the Profound Heaven Pavilion. If this couple joined forces, even the world's number one person, Meng Shenji, would find them troublesome; they were true experts.

"Hmph, they say the Champion Marquis is frivolous and rude; it is true indeed."

The black-clad woman's expression was slightly cold, her black hair fluttering in the wind, and from her galaxy-like eyes, infinite mystery was projected.

Through her pupils, the Champion Marquis even saw a boundless galactic vortex; within the vortex, every star was incredibly real, corresponding to the brilliant galaxy in the sky, with billions of stars being born and dying at every moment.

The Champion Marquis could feel that these dying and birthing stars were not a false illusion, but a real projection of the cosmic galaxy from infinitely far away in the sky, manifested within the pupils of Tianshe Wang.

Such exquisite and profound Daoist arts were unheard of and unseen.

"Haha, if I were to turn a blind eye to Tianshe Wang's beauty, I would not be the Champion Marquis." The Champion Marquis did not hide his greed; he pointed at Tianshe Wang and laughed: "Xingmou, you are the one hundred and thirty-second beauty to make this Marquis's heart flutter. Not just you, but the Xianghu King and the Silver Shark King among the world's Eight Great Demon Immortals—I will snatch them all, possess them all, and make every man in the world jealous to death."

"Hehehe, the Champion Marquis certainly has a big mouth." A trace of killing intent flickered in the eyes of Tianshe Wang Xingmou.

"Haha, because this Marquis is the most outstanding man in the world, naturally I must dominate all the outstanding and beautiful women in the world." The Champion Marquis remained wildly arrogant, his words revealing intense self-confidence: "However, it is unexpected that after hearing my words, you, Tianshe Wang, can still remain so calm."

Tianshe Wang's gaze flashed as she said: "For a Champion Marquis who is about to die, I really don't need to get angry."

The Champion Marquis licked his lips, a frivolous smile appearing at the corners of his mouth: "It seems Tianshe Wang has wanted to take this Marquis's life from the very beginning, but rest assured, I have the legacy of Wei Wu; after I capture you, Madam, I will take good care of you."

"I hope you still have this mood when you are buried in the darkness." Tianshe Wang's pair of eyes, which reflected the galaxy, closed and then opened. In an instant, the Champion Marquis felt that everything around him was thick darkness, and he could no longer see any scenery.

Furthermore, within the darkness, the Champion Marquis's mind developed an illusion that the entire world was becoming smaller and smaller, and his own body was shrinking along with the world toward a single point, giving him a feeling of being sealed.

"The Great Black Heaven Maze!? Heh, it's enough to seal an ordinary Martial Saint, but wanting to seal this Marquis is simply wishful thinking!" The thick darkness surged over like a tide, constantly squeezing him, but the Champion Marquis just sneered, his body surging with majestic Qi and Blood and the true intent of the Martial Dao, and then he tore at the air with both hands!

The surrounding darkness was immediately torn apart, and the light of the sky shone down once more, accompanied by a rumbling sound of collapse, as if the heavens were falling and the earth was sinking.

This was the scene of a small world being destroyed.

Just a moment ago, Tianshe Wang had created a dark Xiaoqian Shijie and sealed the Champion Marquis within it.

The Champion Marquis, relying on his formidable Martial Dao cultivation, had forcibly torn this small world apart and seen the light again.

"Tianshe Wang can create a Xiaoqian Shijie with a single thought; she is likely at the Fourfold Lightning Tribulation or a higher cultivation level. However, this small world is not sturdy and shattered with a single tear; it seems the one before me is only an avatar."

Daoist arts cultivate the soul, with levels such as Settling Spirit, Leaving the Shell, Night Wandering, Day Wandering, Driving Objects, Manifestation, Possession, and Ghost Immortal.

Among them, Settling Spirit emphasizes calming the mind so no distracting thoughts arise. Leaving the Shell is when the soul leaves the body to move around the shell. Night Wandering and Day Wandering allow the soul to appear at night and during the day, respectively. Driving Objects is when the soul condenses into substance and can move physical objects. Manifestation allows one to manifest a form through external objects and perform various supernatural powers.

Once one reaches the Possession realm, one is truly considered an expert; no matter which faction they join, they are immediately treated as an honored guest.

Possession, as the name suggests, allows one to possess the bodies of various animals, and even the bodies of people with weaker Qi and Blood; with a single thought, the Daoist arts are infinite.

After that comes breaking through the barrier of life and death to become a Ghost Immortal. The soul is ten times more condensed than before, capable of lifting ten-thousand-catty boulders and possessing bodies below the Martial Master level; Shen Ying Wang is at this level.

Then one must begin to undergo the Thunder Tribulation; there are nine Thunder Tribulations, and each one is a new step. Any expert who has undergone a Thunder Tribulation is a top figure of the current age.

And when one reaches the Fourfold Lightning Tribulation, or the peak of the Threefold, one can generate a small world with a single thought. However, the small world is not stable and may collapse at any time.

Clearly, this Tianshe Wang is an expert of the Fourfold Lightning Tribulation. Unfortunately, she did not come in her true form; the one before him is only an avatar with relatively shallow strength.

"Hmph, Champion Marquis, you do have some ability, but that is all." As Xingmou spoke, she made no move. A jet-black current of air simply rose from her body and flowed toward the Champion Marquis. Subsequently, this dark current transformed into a ferocious Demon God; the Demon God's expression was eerie, revealing an aura of intimidation and capture—it was the Divine God enshrined by the Dark Hall of the Profound Heaven Pavilion, the Heitian Moshen.

As soon as the Heitian Moshen appeared, it opened its hands and slapped toward the Champion Marquis, as if swatting a fly, intending to slap him into minced meat.

"No, no, no, my true ability is only known to my wives and concubines; you are still far off." As he spoke, the Champion Marquis held his right hand vertically like a blade and raised it high, as if a divine blade were spanning the sky. With a single slash, the violent and domineering blade Qi tore through the void like a swimming dragon from the nine heavens, and with a muffled boom, it tore the Heitian Moshen apart.

The blade Qi rampaged, its momentum unabated, slashing directly toward Xingmou.

But Xingmou had already disappeared from before his eyes.

"One flower, one leaf, one fruit; one thought, one world."

A light, singing voice, like a ditty or a nocturne, drifted from the void, and thousands of rays of light surged out—those were powerful thoughts strong enough to tear through space.

The so-called thoughts are a type of existence similar to divine sense.

The Daoist arts of this world are essentially the cultivation of the soul, and they have already developed to an extremely profound level.

Thousands of thoughts intertwined in an instant, forming an array diagram.

The array diagram carried a six-pointed star, and the thousands of thoughts shone with great brilliance, like a sun exploding, yet at the center of the brilliance was a tiny point of Darkness.

Subsequently, the Darkness erupted from the center of the array diagram like ten thousand raging waves, crashing toward Champion Marquis, intending to envelop and seal him within.

"Darkness Mandala Womb Realm Great Barrier."

Tianshe Wang formed seals with her hands, and the Darkness completely enveloped Champion Marquis, like a large black cocoon.

Profound Heaven Pavilion is the martial arts holy land of Yunmeng Guo, once equal in fame to the Great Zen Temple of Great Gan, but now the Great Zen Temple has been extinguished, while Profound Heaven Pavilion still stands on the eastern grasslands, producing talent in succession and supplying a large number of experts to Yunmeng Guo.

Tianshe Wang Xingmou is the Daoist companion of Profound Heaven Pavilion Master Nalan Anhuang, and this Darkness Mandala Womb Realm Great Barrier is the strongest sealing technique of Profound Heaven Pavilion.

"Hmph, merely a Martial Saint; a single avatar is enough to suppress you." Tianshe Wang let out a cold snort, and as her jade hands waved, all the Darkness condensed and shrank, transforming into a black crystal disk the size of a fist. This black crystal was not circular but had eight petals, and within the disk, black Qi faintly swirled.

Through the disk, one could vaguely see a solidified human figure inside.

Yunmeng Guo and Great Gan Guo appear calm on the surface, but in reality, they are irreconcilable enemies. Champion Marquis is the bravest of the three armies and poses a huge threat to Yunmeng Guo. This time, Xingmou's avatar came to the grasslands originally to do something else, but upon discovering Champion Marquis, she naturally did not mind sending this Great Gan War God on his way.

Crack!

Crack!!

Just as Tianshe Wang was considering whether to destroy the black crystal, cracks appeared on the crystal disk and spread continuously; in the blink of an eye, they covered the entire crystal, and then it exploded with a boom.

"Long Rainbow Piercing Sun!!"

The next moment, a roar exploded in Tianshe Wang's ears, and a beam of light like a long rainbow flew out, tearing through the air.

This long rainbow was extremely brilliant, as if the flames burning on the surface of the sun had fallen, making even the air become incomparably scorching; the area within a hundred zhang seemed to be burning and boiling, as if cooking the entire world.

And at the center of the long rainbow was a cluster of sharp, bright light.

That was... a cluster of spear light!

With a "pfft" sound, the long rainbow spear light easily pierced directly into Tianshe Wang's chest, as if stabbing into tofu.

"Tianshe Wang, how is this spear of mine?"

Champion Marquis sneered, and with a twist of his right hand holding the spear, a tyrannical vortex fluctuation erupted from the Shangmang Divine Spear, tearing Tianshe Wang's body apart and causing countless thoughts to collapse and scatter.

"You, you, what exactly is your realm!?" A sense of great destruction spread outward from the wound on Tianshe Wang's chest, causing her body to gradually become transparent with a tendency to collapse; her eyes still stared fixedly at Champion Marquis, filled with disbelief.

"Take a guess." Champion Marquis walked forward, and just as Tianshe Wang was about to collapse, he frivolously grabbed her chin and kissed her lips, their eyes meeting: "Xingmou, I hope to see your true body next time. Tell Nalan Anhuang to offer you up with both hands early, and Profound Heaven Pavilion might have a way to survive; otherwise, I will trample Profound Heaven Pavilion flat sooner or later."

"Champion Marquis, just you wait..."

Before Tianshe Wang's avatar could finish speaking, it had completely collapsed and scattered.

"Heh, I'll wait."

Tianzhu Shan.

On the land outside Heavenly Pillar Mountain, at the junction of the Western Regions and the north, it is vast and wide, reaching up to the sky. No one knows how many layers of heaven exist within the mountain, nor how many birds, beasts, Demons, ghosts, monsters, and rare treasures are there. Countless practitioners through the ages have cultivated upon it. Even the Daoist arts of the Essence Spirit Temple, the Heavenly Pillar Contemplation Method, were created based on the form of Heavenly Pillar Mountain.

Now, Champion Marquis has entered Tianzhu Shan.

"Tianzhu Shan, Tianzhu Divine Stone, the place of this Marquis's opportunity."
