"Cang Lang howls at the moon, his aura devouring Heaven and Earth!"
"Fire Phoenix scorches the sky, burning mountains and boiling seas!"
The Wolf King and the Fire Phoenix King attacked together, their resounding voices intimidating the firmament; two terrifying forces descended on Pei Xuanjing, as if to sever all cause and effect, cutting off the creation profound mystery that Pei Xuanjing continuously absorbed.
The Wolf King, ruler of the Howling Moon Gray Wolf lineage of the Wolf Clan in the Nine Realms of Spirit, was indeed a supreme powerhouse. Although he hadn't transformed into a Howling Moon Sky Wolf, his naturally divine power was incredibly terrifying, as if he wanted to devour Heaven and Earth.
As for this Fire Phoenix King, he was not a true Fire Phoenix, as the true Fire Phoenix is indeed a divine creature, just like a True Dragon in legend, belonging to the ranks of beasts of the Immortal Path.
This Fire Phoenix King originally was but an ordinary bird with a bloodline of the legendary Phoenix. However, as his power grew incessantly, his bloodline underwent a transformation, and now the Phoenix lineage within him had become extremely potent.
…
In the eyes of other powerhouses of the Demon Race such as the Lion Emperor, if there came a day when the Fire Phoenix King ascended to True Immortality and reshaped his bloodline, perhaps he could truly transform into a divine God Bird, Phoenix, and become an authentic divine creature.
It could be said that, based on talent and potential alone, this Fire Phoenix King was considered one of the foremost existences within the Demon Race.
At this moment, the Fire Phoenix King was shrouded in flames, spreading his wings like a divine Phoenix bathed in fire. With a flutter of his wings, streaks of fire soared into the sky, even causing cracks in space, as if he possessed the divine might to burn mountains and boil the seas.
The terrifying flames rushed towards Pei Xuanjing, turning the entire sky red, and at this moment, it seemed as if the rules of Heaven and Earth were twisted under the scorching of these flames, burning everything to ashes.
As he faced these two terrifying divine powers, Pei Xuanjing's expression remained unchanged, and he spoke indifferently, "Howling Moon Gray Wolf, an aura that devours Heaven and Earth. The divine Fire Phoenix, burning mountains and boiling seas. These are indeed some of the most top-tier divine powers between Heaven and Earth; however, times have changed. You're completely unaware of the true might of a True Immortal, even though this personage has not yet truly ascended to a Divine Position."
As he spoke, the divine halos emanating around Pei Xuanjing unleashed divine might, instantly overshadowing the terrifying divine powers exhibited by the two Demon Race supremes.
Even the strongest in the Nine Realms of Spirit, no matter how powerful, still belonged to the mundane world before ascending.

Pei Xuanjing had already refined the divinity, opened up a domain within the Divine Kingdom, and had begun his transformation into a deity. Even if this transformation wasn't completely finished, he still entered the realm of the Immortal Path and existed as an Immortal—a fundamental difference in essence.
The Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand swept gently, and all divine skills were frozen; whether it was the devouring power of the Howling Moon Gray Wolf or the scorching fire of the Phoenix, they were now suppressed by the divine light emitted by the Sanbao Jade Ruyi.
"Suppress!"
A Taoist Symbol of Suppressing Characters coalesced in the void, and suddenly, all seemed to come to a standstill in this part of Heaven and Earth!
Earth, Water, Wind, Fire—everything came to a halt! Even Time and Space had briefly ceased to flow!
Though this pause was but a moment, for Pei Xuanjing and these two Demon Race powerhouses, it was sufficient to determine the outcome of life and death.
A Six-Color Magic Sword appeared in the void, its terrifying sword light tearing through space, transcending the obstacles of Time, and directly descending upon the Wolf King and the Fire Phoenix King.
The sword light obliterated everything: not only slashing through flesh but also extinguishing the Divine Soul simultaneously.
"This King is unresigned!"
"This King has yet to transform into the divine creature Phoenix, a pity…"
The sword light swept across the void, and the two Demon Race supreme powerhouses, who once instilled immense dread within the human race in the Sky Wasteland Domain, the Wolf King and the Fire Phoenix King, fell, not even leaving their last words, thus perishing.
An icy look flickered across Pei Xuanjing's face, yet it contained not the slightest trace of mercy.
Throughout his ascent to power, whether in the real world or within life simulations, Pei Xuanjing had seen countless powerhouses fall by his hand, many heaven-defying talents and dominators of Heaven and Earth had been slain by him.
Pei Xuanjing's Dao Heart was incredibly steadfast; it would not be shaken by external factors. Any enemy that stood in the way of his cultivation, he would show no mercy.
Escape!
That was the first thought that rose in the Fox King's heart. Almost the instant the thought arose, without a shred of hesitation, the Fox King disappeared into the void, fleeing far away towards the Demon Domain.
Pei Xuanjing was too terrifying, too powerful. Against either the Wolf King or the Fire Phoenix King, two of the Demon Race's Supreme Strong, he didn't stand a chance, yet when these formidable beings joined forces, they had fallen to Pei Xuanjing's hand without lasting a single move, pushing the Fox King's panic to the extreme.
At this moment, any thoughts of continuing to obstruct the other's ascent to the Immortal Path had vanished; he only wanted to flee back to the Demon Domain, for only by returning to the Demon Domain might he survive.
"Is this what a True Immortal is? Even without a true breakthrough, yet he's already capable of crushing a Supreme Strong." As the Fox King fled into the distance, questions arose in his heart.
If a True Immortal is so powerful that even without fully embarking on the Immortal Path he can crush a Supreme Strong, then what is the purpose of the Obstruction Tribulation? The Supreme Strong couldn't possibly stop a True Immortal Leader who has already stepped into the domain of the Immortal Path.
"Escape, too late!"
Even though the Fox King had fled millions of miles in the blink of an eye, Pei Xuanjing remained calm and composed as he swung out his Six-Color Sword, its light crossing through time and space.
As if the moment he swung his sword, the light had already struck the Fox King, and despite his escape to millions of miles away, he still couldn't survive. The moment the sword light descended, the Fox King's body and Divine Soul were extinguished by the sword light.
He died with questions in his heart, unanswered.
The Demon Race's Supreme Strong, the Fox King, had fallen.
And so, the three Supreme Strong sent by the Lion Emperor, the Wolf King, the Fire Phoenix King, and the Fox King, had all fallen under the sword of Pei Xuanjing, who had not yet completely ascended to Immortal Lord Longevity.
As the Supreme Strong fell and returned to Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth sensed it, and rain of spiritual energy fell from the sky, nourishing Heaven and Earth.
"Is this the might of the Immortal Path domain?"
"A Supreme Strong cannot withstand a single sword!"
"Immortal Path…"
Everything began in such a rush, and just as quickly came to an end.
Wu Shijiu and the others were caught in the Fox King's illusion; before they could even react, the illusion had dissipated. The moment they emerged, they saw Pei Xuanjing strike with his sword, slaying the Fox King who had fled millions of miles away.
Witnessing this, the three of them had complex expressions, deeply shocked. Was this the terror of the Immortal Path domain? Supreme Strong couldn't even fight back against it.
"Indeed, the strong of the Immortal Path domain are strong, but until they have truly transformed, they are not really invincible," Pei Xuanjing said with a smile.
"Then, why you, True Monarch?" asked Wu Shijiu, puzzled.
Pei Xuanjing chuckled: "Because I am different."
Indeed, the power Pei Xuanjing demonstrated was actually different.
In the process of ascending to become a True Immortal, he indeed had touched the domain of the Immortal Path, which was qualitatively different from the mortal domain on par with that of the Supreme Powers, but this did not mean that the Supreme Powers were undefendable against True Immortals who had not yet undergone a transformation.
If merely touching the Immortal Path domain could exert overwhelming pressure on the Supreme Powers, then what would be the point of the Obstruction Tribulation? It would become utterly meaningless.
In fact, that was not the case. The reason was not that the Obstruction Tribulation was meaningless, but that Pei Xuanjing's cultivation process was different from others.
Today, Pei Xuanjing seemed to be condensing Divinity, perfecting authority, and forging a Divine Domain before transforming his body to ascend as a True Immortal. But actually, remember that Pei Xuanjing had already once forged a Divine Domain, and besides the will of Heaven and Earth of the Daming World itself, he also had the support of the Longevity World's force at any time at his disposal.
It could be said that after Pei Xuanjing had condensed his Divinity and perfected his authority, he already possessed various characteristics a True Immortal of the Dao of Spirit Immortals should have. It was just because Pei Xuanjing was not willing to turn the Longevity World into a Divine Domain, which was his trump card laid out for his future continuation on the Earth Immortal Path, that he needed to transform his Divinity into a Divine Domain anew.
…
However, this was merely a repetitive process. In essence, Pei Xuanjing was already a seventh-order True Immortal of the Divine Immortal Path, which was the fundamental difference between him and many other Supreme powers ascending to True Immortality at the same time.
The Obstruction Tribulation did exist for Pei Xuanjing, but it was not in the process of his forging the Divine Domain. Instead, it should have been when he first perfected his authority and condensed his Divinity. It was at this moment that Pei Xuanjing was at his weakest.
But the Wolf King and the others did not understand. They thought that Pei Xuanjing at that moment, being endowed with the support of countless wills of Heaven and Earth, was at his strongest, seeking to avoid his sharpness and waiting to strike when Pei Xuanjing was transforming his body after establishing the Divine Domain, not realizing that this was when Pei Xuanjing was at his most powerful.
"Facing me, they even dispatched three powerful Demon Kings. I wonder what obstacles others have encountered," Pei Xuanjing spoke indifferently, showing no sign of anger.
This time the Demon Race was so cautious to send three Supreme powers to face him, who was supposed to have no protector. As for the others who were ascending, there was no telling how many powerhouses the Demon Race would send.
Don't think that because Pei Xuanjing easily slaughtered the Wolf King and the three Great Demons that their strength was weak; in fact, it was not so. They were significant enough to be sent by the Lion Emperor to obstruct Pei Xuanjing's ascension, which proved their strength was not weak.
The reason they were easily subdued by Pei Xuanjing was that he had truly stepped into the Immortal Path domain, but it was not the same for others. They still needed transformation, and if faced with such powerful Demon Kings, there would surely be considerable trouble.

"Which adept from the Witch God Sect has chosen to seek Enlightenment?" Pei Xuanjing looked toward Wu Shijiu, seeking some clues from him.
After all, the Witch God Sect was too mysterious. Rationally, all the Supreme powers were competing for the chance of Enlightenment at the same time, so an ancient force like the Witch God Sect would undoubtedly be aware of what this meant, and they should not miss out.
However, what surprised Pei Xuanjing was that, at this moment, he clearly felt that among the powerhouses of the various righteous paths between Heaven and Earth, there seemed to be no strong individuals from the Witch God Sect.
After all, Wu Shijiu had also emerged from the Witch God Sect, and the other party should understand some secrets and know what the Witch God Sect was exactly holding back.
"Hmm?" Wu Shijiu had not yet spoken, but Pei Xuanjing suddenly furrowed his brow, revealing a look of surprise on his face as his gaze turned toward the direction of the Witch God Sect, a hint of confusion emerging between his brows, "It is indeed the same Dao of Spirit Immortals, yet it feels as if it's not purely the path of Divine Spirit Authority."
Speaking of the Witch God Sect not making any moves, but just as Pei Xuanjing was curious, the Witch God Sect was also undergoing some changes, and with Pei Xuanjing's current strength, he could generally sense the other party's method of Dao certification.
At this moment, he perceived that the Dao-certifying method of the Witch God Sect's True Immortal was also following the Dao of Spirit Immortals. However, the Dao of Spirit Immortals of the Witch God Sect was significantly different from that of Pei Xuanjing.
He gently waved his sleeve, attaching strands of the Will of Heaven and Earth to Wu Shijiu, allowing him to also see everything happening in the direction of the Witch God Sect.
"Do you know about this method of certifying a True Immortal of the Witch God Sect?" asked Pei Xuanjing, full of curiosity.
Now, concerning the Witch God Sect's method and process of ascension, Pei Xuanjing always had a strange feeling that it should belong to the Dao of Spirit Immortals according to reason, but it was significantly different from the Dao of Spirit Immortals he certified as a True Immortal, so he wanted to get some clues from Wu Shijiu.
"The sacrificial method, I can't believe the legend from the past is true!" Just as he saw what was happening in the direction of the Witch God Sect, Wu Shijiu's originally calm face showed a shocked expression, and he muttered to himself.
As a supreme powerhouse, Wu Shijiu believed that he had witnessed many shocking things to this day, especially just now when Pei Xuanjing effortlessly suppressed and killed the three Great Demons that even he might not be able to contend with, which was enough to shock him greatly. He thought that whatever happened next wouldn't surprise him too much.
But as always, his face was slapped so quickly, in just a moment, this incident shocked Wu Shijiu deeply.
"The sacrificial method?" A sharp light flashed in Pei Xuanjing's profound eyes, as if he had thought of something.
The look of shock on Wu Shijiu's face gradually faded, and he began to speak of the sacrificial method and why he was so shocked, "There's always been a saying in the Witch God Sect that, during ancient times, the Human Race Common Master, in collaboration with the ancestors of the Witch God Sect, deduced a method of Becoming Immortal. This method has been in the hands of the Witch God Sect for thousands of years."
The Witch God Sect was closely related to the ancient line of witches and the Human Race Common Master; they had explored methods of Becoming Immortal during ancient times. However, as a high-ranking member of the Witch God Sect, Wu Shijiu did not believe these claims, especially because when he defected from the sect and glimpsed the hereditary secrets of the Witch God Sect, he did not find this so-called method of Becoming Immortal. He therefore utterly disregarded it. After all, if such a method truly existed, why would the supreme powerhouses of the Witch God Sect enter the Chaos Void on the verge of their lifespans to stake their lives in a desperate struggle?
"But today, I suddenly realized that this so-called method of Becoming Immortal is none other than the most core yet most common and widespread sacrificial method of the Witch God Sect, which even the entry-level disciples can learn!" Wu Shijiu said with a somewhat wry smile.
For millennia, the pursuit of immortality, the yearning for true immortals, has been the arduous quest of countless powerhouses and forces. They do not know how much they have paid, how much cost they have borne.
Yet until today, in both these worlds, numerous supreme strong still found themselves trapped before the threshold of the Immortal Dao Realm, only able to sigh at the legends of immortal and indestructible true immortals.
Therefore, for anyone, or any powerful force, if they truly possessed the method of becoming immortal, they would certainly treasure it and keep it secret, not sharing it with the world.
This was also why Wu Shijiu, when he glimpsed the Witch God Sect's treasured secret techniques, did not see these things, and guessed that they were merely rumors, regarding the so-called methods of becoming immortal as lies.
But today, Wu Shijiu was shocked beyond measure, "I never imagined that this so-called sacrificial method would be so publicly known, allowed for all Witch God Sect disciples to master and practice. The Witch God Sect powerhouse who thought of this method was indeed incredibly clever, of great wisdom indeed!"
Small secrets are hidden in the wild, great secrets are hidden in the city.
...
If a method of becoming immortal appeared anywhere, other supreme forces and powerhouses would inevitably develop a desire to spy. There is a saying that one can be a thief for a thousand days, but one cannot guard against a thief for a thousand days; even the most well-kept secrets can eventually be found. And yet, the Witch God Sect proliferated this method of becoming immortal so widely, teaching it to all disciples as if it were an ordinary divine power skill, creating a darkness under the lamplight that other forces and supreme strong instinctively overlook, never suspecting that such a widely known practice in the Witch God Sect could be the legendary method of becoming immortal.
The sacrificial method is a divine power skill that all novice disciples of the Witch God Sect must learn; it involves constructing a human sacrificial altar, offering sacrifices, and then bartering with the powerful or with Heaven and Earth to obtain what one desires.
"Not to mention other supreme strong and top-tier forces, even a cultivator like me, coming from the Witch God Sect, wouldn't believe it," Wu Shijiu remarked with emotion.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if someone told him that the Witch God Sect's method of becoming immortal was the sacrificial method, he would never have believed it, and would instead have scoffed at the notion.
"Using the sacrificial method to make offerings to Heaven and Earth and then receiving favor and rewards from the will of Heaven and Earth, gaining Heaven and Earth's reciprocation to advance oneself," after hearing the other's words, Pei Xuanjing also immediately recalled the description of this divine power skill that he had seen within the Witch God Sect.
He too had indeed perused the practice skills and divine powers of various top-tier forces in the Sky Wasteland, spending the most time with the Witch God Sect. However, Pei Xuanjing also fell for the darkness under the lamplight, instinctively focusing on core skills and neglecting the Witch God Sect's simplest and most widespread practice method.
"However, such a sacrificial method, by gaining the favor and reciprocation of the will of Heaven and Earth, signifies a complete binding with Heaven and Earth. Lose their favor, and the foundation of the realm that was ascended to may wobble; at best, one's power might be compromised, and at worst, even plummeting in status is possible. Although such a method is swift, it is not suitable for me," Pei Xuanjing quickly made a decision and chose within his heart.
Deze 2 groenten zullen je buikvet 's nachts doden!Open
Indeed, the Witch God Sect's method of ascending to true immortality may seem the most expedient and safest, but to Pei Xuanjing, it was not at all what he sought.
In Pei Xuanjing's view, though this method may allow one to easily possess great power, one is like a duckweed without roots, with everything stemming from the favor of Heaven and Earth, much like gods who rely on the protection of the will of Heaven and Earth, completely bound to it. If one loses that heavenly favor, if Heaven and Earth perish, then one would be deeply entangled as well.
Although Pei Xuanjing had embarked on the Dao of Spirit Immortals, he had expended great cost to refine the Sanbao Jade Ruyi, then gathered the Avatar of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, a strenuous process, all to ensure his own autonomy and avoid being completely bound by Heaven and Earth.
If he really wanted to take the easy way for convenience and lost himself, then why bother with such trouble, and there was no need to learn the methods of the Witch Deity Teaching. At first, he could have simply merged the Longevity World into the Daming World and effortlessly obtained the True Immortal Dao Fruit.
"Moreover, although this path is simple, the idea that one could obtain the True Immortal Dao Fruit merely through sacrifice is far from easy to accomplish," Pei Xuanjing's eyes flashed with curiosity.
When he first created the Longevity World, the implicit suggestion of the Will of Heaven and Earth was that he would have to sacrifice an entire Small Thousand World to gain such a reward.
So what about the Witch Deity Teaching, what kind of offerings had they prepared that could be recognized by the Will of Heaven and Earth, and be granted the True Immortal Dao Fruit? This was undoubtedly a matter of great curiosity to Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing's gaze transcended time and space, landing within the bounds of the Witch Deity Teaching beyond the domain.
Time moved back to not long ago, within the Witch Deity Teaching.
Several supreme powers of the Witch Deity Teaching, along with many other cultivators of the Spirit Realm Eightfold and Sevenfold, stood in the void, positioned according to the directions of an ancient formation technique.
In the midst of these powerhouses, there was a sacrificial altar rotating and pulsating. If Pei Xuanjing were here, he would realize that this human sacrificial altar was exactly the same as the one he observed as an avatar in the Tianhuang world during his initial visit to the Witch Deity Teaching, except it was shrunk countless times.
The Witch God Sect Leader stood above this sacrificial altar, holding a banner filled with a primitive aura. This banner was a symbol of authority historically wielded by the leaders of the Witch Deity Teaching; legend says it was a magical weapon forged by the first Human Race Common Master in ancient times as a reward for the witch-priest lineage. After being consecrated and blessed by successive witch-priests and Human Race Common Masters, it possessed terrifying power.
The banner moved slightly, slicing through layers of space as if it were shattering fate itself, claiming its own destiny.
"Thousands of years of waiting, all for today, for the future of my witch-priest lineage…"
The hoarse voice of the Witch God Sect Leader slowly spread, carrying an inexplicable charm at this moment, as if fused with the Tao, full of bewitching power. As the Witch God Sect Leader spoke, all members of the Witch Deity Teaching revealed an excited expression on their faces.
Thousands of years of strategizing culminate in this day.
A fierce light appeared in the Witch God Sect Leader's eyes.
Everyone knows of the Sky Mechanism Pavilion's Master Tianji, unmatched in divination, claimed to calculate everything under the sky, yet many have forgotten that the witch-priest lineage, in the beginning, besides managing the human race's sacrificial and martial duties, also bore the responsibility of deducing Heavenly secrets, and exploring clear paths for the human race in the vast unknown future.
Countless ages ago, a past Sect Leader of the Witch Deity Teaching had already foreseen this day, which led to their strategic planning, just to give birth to a True Immortal of their own Witch Deity Teaching lineage on this very day.
