Chapter 109: Slaying Wang Changsheng, Douluo Ranking Changes!
The two were both invincible Supremes of the current era, representing the pinnacle of the human realm. Both showed faint signs of stepping into the immortal realm. For a time, they fought evenly, neither able to gain the upper hand.
In an instant, the Great Dao above Qingyun Province collapsed, and stars fell from the sky.
Aside from the Daoist boy, no one could see the details of their clash. They could only see two masses of light colliding violently, each collision accompanied by the annihilation of space.
"Kill!"
In the end, Meng Tianzheng unleashed his ultimate methods. He was almost reconnecting that broken path, opening the treasures of the human body.
He even burned a trace of true blood, becoming unstoppable wherever he passed.
Although Wang Changsheng was equally talented, his heart had flaws, and his Dao heart was unstable.
Moreover, facing a Great Elder risking his life and standing at the peak of righteousness, Wang Changsheng ultimately fell into a disadvantage.
Finally, after hundreds and thousands of intense exchanges—
"Puchi!"
A muffled sound of flesh being torn spread across the land.
Immediately afterward, a rain of light scattered.
Meng Tianzheng stood there, his entire body drenched in blood. A large hole pierced through his chest, front to back, caused by the Chaos Calming Art, injuring his very origin.
Yet he still stood tall, like a towering ancient divine mountain.
In his hand, he held a still-warm head, its eyes wide open.
It was Wang Changsheng!
Just like that, this top Supreme, who had struggled for countless ages in pursuit of immortality, willing to pay any price, ultimately failed to attain immortality and perished completely!
"Bang!"
Meng Tianzheng casually threw Wang Changsheng's head to the ground, then looked around at the trembling War Clan ancestor and the others.
Their expressions changed drastically.
Compared to Wang Changsheng, they knew they were no match.
Yet even such a powerful existence had been slain by the Great Elder Meng Tianzheng.
Not to mention the envoy of the Immortal Domain, feared even by remnant immortals, and the terrifying Immortal King's decree.
At this thought, the Old Celestial and the others grew weak all over and immediately bowed their heads in submission, no longer daring to resist.
"Forgive us."
"We are willing to go to the Imperial Pass. Even if we die in battle, we will not retreat a single step."
The frightened giants all expressed their stance, hoping to receive leniency.
However, after witnessing their disgraceful behavior, the Daoist boy's eyes filled with disdain.
"As you wish, proceed immediately to the frontier Imperial Pass and await orders!"
"You will only be freed upon dying on the battlefield!"
"If you dare flee, your entire clan will be exterminated!"
"This is the consequence of colluding with the Foreign Realm!"
The Daoist boy's voice was like thunder, shaking every giant present.
"Additionally!"
"The Celestial Clan, the Western Sect, the War Clan… all your lineages involved in this matter must each hand over half of your clan's resources to the Tianshen Academy, the Sacred Academy, and the Immortal Academy as compensation for nurturing the younger generation!"
"Do you understand?"
"Yes! We obey the decree and will fight to the death for the Nine Heavens!"
Hearing this, although the Old Celestial and the others felt as if they had been granted amnesty, their hearts bled at the thought of handing over half of their resources and reserves.
Yet they did not dare refuse.
Compared to that, half of the resources, their lives, and the lives of their entire clans were far more precious.
After settling these trivial matters, the Daoist boy turned to Meng Tianzheng, his tone slightly softened:
"Meng Tianzheng, the remaining mess is yours to handle."
"The Wang family and the Jin family, anyone connected with the Foreign Realm—leave none alive. Kill without mercy!"
"Rest assured, Senior!"
Meng Tianzheng cupped his fists in acknowledgment, killing intent surging in his eyes. After a final glance at the Old Celestial and the others, he tore open the void and departed.
Within the Wang and Jin families, aside from Wang Changsheng and Jin Taijun, there were surely others colluding with the Foreign Realm. They had to be eradicated completely.
…
As everything settled, the Daoist boy put away the Immortal King's decree and looked around at the devastated world.
He then took a deep breath and declared,
"From today onward, Qingyun Sect shall be a subordinate sect of the Primordial Immortal Court!"
For a long time, it had only been a rumor that Qingyun Sect's ancestor came from the Immortal Domain.
Even the sect's disciples and elders had not fully believed it.
But now, with the Daoist boy's declaration, it was undoubtedly the strongest protective talisman for Qingyun Sect.
From this moment on, anyone daring to target Qingyun Sect would have to weigh the consequences of the immense force standing behind it.
Finally, the Daoist boy descended and came before Qingyunzi, who was trembling with excitement and shedding tears.
"Qingyunzi."
Looking at the frail old man, the Daoist boy's tone carried a rare hint of gentleness.
"Though you were once an exiled, abandoned disciple, you have upheld your original intentions all these years and established a foundation for our sect in this world. You have merit."
"I now restore your status as an inner disciple of the Tian Kui Hall of the Primordial Immortal Court!"
"Once matters here are settled, you may follow me back to the Immortal Domain!"
"Return… to the Immortal Domain."
Hearing this, Qingyunzi, already overwhelmed with emotion, burst into tears.
Having spent so many years in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, returning to the Immortal Court and seeing the place where he once cultivated had become his obsession.
He had thought there was no hope in this lifetime, yet the upper sect had sent someone!
This not only meant restoring his identity but also becoming an immortal!
With his talent, returning to an environment where immortality was possible, it was hard to say whether he could advance further.
What Wang Changsheng had sought his whole life without success, Qingyunzi had obtained today!
"This disciple kowtows in gratitude for the Immortal Lord's great grace!!"
Thinking of this, Qingyunzi fell to his knees like a child finally returning home, prostrating himself toward the sky with tear-filled eyes.
"Our ancestor is returning to the Immortal Domain?!"
For a moment, the Qingyun Sect disciples below, as well as the various sect leaders who had not yet left, looked at the kneeling old man with shock and deep envy.
When one attains the Dao, even chickens and dogs ascend.
This was a true great fortune, a true path to the heavens!
…
Meanwhile, in the lower realm.
Wasteland Region.
Deep within the vast mountains, Stone Village.
Unlike the bloody storm that had just settled in the upper realm, Stone Village was immersed in a lively, bustling celebration.
In the open ground at the village entrance, beneath the ancestral black cauldron, dry firewood burned fiercely.
Inside the cauldron, golden broth boiled violently, radiant light bursting forth, its aroma intoxicating.
This was no ordinary beast meat—it's that of pure-blooded fierce beasts like Qiongqi and the Demonic Ape!
"So fragrant! It's amazing!"
A group of children surrounded the cauldron, their little faces blackened by smoke, but their eyes shining brightly.
They swallowed mouthfuls of saliva as the rich meat fragrance seemed to turn into tangible essence.
Just smelling it made their pores open, as if ascending to immortality.
"Everyone, eat more! This is meat from those big fellows, especially that of Qiongqi at the Venerable realm. Most of its divine essence has already been filtered by Liu Shen, so we can safely consume it. It's a great tonic!"
The old clan chief Shi Yunfeng was beaming, his face flushed with joy.
Ever since Liu Shen intimidated all directions and that mysterious Immortal Lord bestowed blessings, life in Stone Village had improved day by day.
Nourished by the flesh and blood of Qiongqi, the entire village's strength was undergoing earth-shaking changes.
Adult men could casually exert tens of thousands of jin of force, and even babies still drinking milk could easily lift millstone-sized rocks.
"Yiya! Where do you think you're running?"
At that moment, a childish yet powerful shout rang out.
A small figure charged wildly through the village like a humanoid savage dragon.
It was Little Shi Hao. Though he looked only a few years old, his speed was so fast that even afterimages were hard to see.
Ahead of him, a golden furball bared its teeth and leapt around, fleeing in panic.
"Hairy Ball, stop running! Teach me that three-head six-arm treasure technique!"
"I won't take your Zhu Yan treasure bone anymore; just teach me!"
Little One shouted while casually swinging his hand. The terrifying strength of his body created sounds of wind and thunder in the air.
After being nourished by Venerable-level flesh, he had become even stronger.
Seeing this, Zhu Yan looked extremely depressed.
As a Primordial Zhu Yan, even though Liu Shen had sealed its cultivation, it still had dignity.
Yet now it was being chased all over the village by this fierce human child. Moreover, this little fellow had eaten so well; most of the Qiongqi meat had gone into his stomach, and his strength had become frightening.
"Chi chi chi!" Hairy Ball protested.
"If you don't teach me, I'll roast you and eat you!" Little One wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and threatened fiercely.
Not far away, on an open ground, a golden figure sat cross-legged.
Qian Renxue.
This inheritor of the Angel God from the Douluo Continent had her eyes closed, surrounded by sacred golden light.
However, within that light was now an additional trace of primal aura.
She was also digesting the immense essence contained in that piece of Qiongqi meat.
"Crack."
Suddenly, it was as if some shackle within her body broke.
Qian Renxue abruptly opened her eyes, two beams of golden light shooting out.
"So this is the mid-stage of the Blood Transformation Realm."
She clenched her fist, feeling the surging blood energy within her body like great rivers, her eyes filled with shock.
Cultivating in this world for just one day, even merely eating a piece of meat, was more effective than ten years of cultivation in the Douluo Continent!
At that moment, the enormous Sky Screen suspended above the Douluo Plane suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterward, lines of golden ancient characters manifested like a heavenly scripture, once again updating the rankings that countless people were concerned about:
