Chapter 60

Heavenly Demon Disintegration,玉石俱焚 (both jade and stone are burned)! The self-destructive killing move was officially launched! The Super Great Heavenly Demon Field immediately began to burn intensely. The fierce flames spread rapidly, filling every corner of the internal space of the Great Heavenly Demon Field.

After a moment, the heat waves rolled within the Heavenly Demon Field, the intense light was blinding, and the fierce flames exploded, forming a supernova. The temperature was thousands of degrees, hot enough to melt iron and gold, and to turn all things to ashes!

Heavenly Demon Disintegration, combined with the Seven Illusions of Immortality. The two killing moves complemented each other perfectly. The destructive power increased like water rising, growing stronger and stronger. The target was Xiao Sheng!

A life-and-death crisis! This was truly a life-and-death crisis! Although this crisis was created by Xiao Sheng himself, could he really, as he imagined, successfully borrow the power of the heavens, smoothly pass through the crisis, unleash his potential, and drastically improve his cultivation?

No one could know! At this moment, apart from Xiao Sheng himself, no gods, Buddhas, immortals, or saints in heaven and earth could control the situation. No existence could predict the outcome of this battle.

A moment is sixty instants, and an instant is nine hundred transformations! Just as the Heavenly Demon Field fully released its explosive power, and just as the Evil King's earth-shattering blow penetrated the field and struck Xiao Sheng...

A sudden change occurred!

"Heavenly Dao cycles, the extreme of yang gives birth to yin, the disappearance of yin restores yang, the end of life is death, the end of death is rebirth. The Southern Dipper governs life, the Northern Dipper governs death, the cycle of life and death, rebirth through fire, the phoenix never dies! I understand, I finally understand completely! Haha~ Evil King, Yin Empress, Demon Marshal, it is impolite not to return a favor. Please receive this move — Golden Phoenix, Heaven Fire Burning Star Style!"

A voice filled with boundless joy suddenly echoed from the Great Heavenly Demon Field, which had transformed into a supernova. Immediately, a clear and resonant phoenix cry echoed through the nine heavens and ten earths.

At that moment, the Demon Marshal, Yin Empress, and Evil King, three great experts, could not help but feel a chill. However, before their thoughts could adapt to the changes, a strange transformation had already occurred!

Phoenix! A huge golden phoenix, filled with holiness and majesty, tore through the fiercely burning Great Heavenly Demon Field, shockingly manifesting in the world!

No, the Great Heavenly Demon Field was not torn apart by the golden phoenix. It collapsed! It should be said that the moment the golden phoenix appeared, the Heavenly Demon Field immediately collapsed on its own. Because the phoenix comes from fire. To the phoenix, all the flames of the myriad worlds and eras are merely subjects.

The phoenix is the emperor of flames! Before the phoenix, any form and type of flame must submit and offer all its power to assist the emperor in destroying the enemy!

The phoenix is Xiao Sheng, and Xiao Sheng is the phoenix. The shock of the transformation had not yet subsided when Xiao Sheng revealed his true form. He let out a long cry, transforming into three avatars, and simultaneously struck a punch at the three great experts of the Demon Sect, the Evil King, Yin Empress, and Demon Marshal, who were already in a state of shock.

This punch contained great life and death, great destruction and creation, great chaos and order! Yin and yang transformed, reality and illusion alternated, truth and falsehood coexisted, perfectly integrated, indistinguishable from each other. This was Xiao Sheng's ultimate work, breaking through his own limits, fusing all the essence of the Phoenix Fist into one: Heaven Fire Burning Star Style!

A punch was thrown, and the heavens and earth were overturned.

A punch was thrown, and ghosts cried and gods howled.

A punch was thrown, and the cycle of life and death was completed.

Invincible! Invincible! Invincible!

Before the punch could be blocked, the Evil King was hit! The Seven Illusions of Immortality immediately crumbled, becoming powerless. The Evil King truly became a mere egg hitting a stone. His body exploded, shattering into pieces, and then, along with his flesh, bones, and tendons, he was completely turned to ashes.

The Evil King, who once shook the world and whom the four great holy monks of the Buddhist sect could not defeat, was dead!

In a fleeting moment, the Yin Empress was hit! The fierce flames enveloped her, burning her beautiful and seductive body into a white skeleton. Shock, fear, pain, madness, hatred, anger, resentment, and curses! Then, everything disappeared, completely, returning to nothingness.

The Yin Empress, who had been entangled in love all her life, became history, a legend. All the grudges and entanglements ended with her life, fading away with the wind.

In a flash, the Demon Marshal was hit! His bones shattered first, followed by the intense flames burning from his internal organs. The Demon Marshal could not withstand the pain, roaring madly and struggling with all his might. But... all his efforts were in vain. Under the Heaven Fire Burning Star, everything was enveloped, restrained, suppressed, shattered, and destroyed!

The Demon Marshal, who, as the third great expert of the Demon Sect, was dissatisfied with always being subordinate to the Evil King and Yin Empress, fled to the border, became the national master of the Turks, and finally wielded supreme power, was extinguished!

Three punches, three lives lost. The phoenix's shadow slowly dissipated. The storm ceased, and the heat subsided. Xiao Sheng stood on the water, hands behind his back, leisurely gazing at the moon on the horizon. His expression was calm, and a captivating smile played on the corners of his mouth.

Inconceivable! Unimaginable! Unbelievable!

Ning Daoqi, who had just opened his eyes, stared dumbfounded at the scene before him. The dignity and demeanor of a master, the high and mighty air, had long been lost amidst the series of events that left him dazzled and unable to keep up. At this moment, Ning Daoqi looked like an ordinary old Taoist.

Unable to resist, Ning Daoqi took a step forward. But the small boat, which was already half-destroyed, could not withstand the movement. Ning Daoqi immediately "splash" fell into the river.

Xiao Sheng heard the commotion but did not turn his head. He simply raised his arm and gently waved it. Immediately, an invisible force lifted Ning Daoqi out of the river and placed him on the riverbank.

On the riverbank, Ning Daoqi coughed and spat out a few mouthfuls of water. Then, he struggled to stand up, swaying, and called out hoarsely, "Taoist friend Xiao, Taoist friend Xiao!"

Xiao Sheng turned around and smiled slightly. He recited aloud, "The phoenix's cry startles the world, eternal in the red dust, reborn from fire; soaring in the nine heavens, who can match, looking down on the universe, none can rival."

As the recitation ended, a large mass of intense electric light burst from Xiao Sheng's body, illuminating the world in a blinding white. Caught off guard, Ning Daoqi could not withstand the intense light and was temporarily blinded.

After a long time, his vision finally returned to normal.

Ning Daoqi staggered forward two steps and saw that Xiao Sheng, who had been standing on the water, had vanished without a trace. The moonlight shone down, and the world was covered in a layer of incredibly beautiful, soft golden powder.

Ning Daoqi, filled with reverence, longing, and respect, knelt in the direction where Xiao Sheng had disappeared. He knew he would never have the chance to see that "Taoist friend Xiao" again.

——

After the light dissipated, Xiao Sheng stood again at the foot of the thousand-foot stone steps in front of the Kala Temple.

Without wasting any time, Xiao Sheng quickly walked up the steps, entered the hall, and sat on the throne.

The map of the Tang Dynasty world immediately appeared on the mirror directly in front of the throne. Below the map, as usual, two lines of text appeared, summarizing his journey.

Map exploration degree: 10%. Temporal distortion rate: 85%. Related resources have been recorded and are available for purchase. Temporal energy reserve: 360 points.

The map of the Tang Dynasty world was vast. Just in Central China, there were important nodes such as Lingnan, Yangzhou, Bashu, Luoyang, and Chang'an. Additionally, there were many places in the border regions, such as Tongwan City, Longquan, and the Turkic capital. Unfortunately, during this visit to the Tang Dynasty world, Xiao Sheng only moved around near Chang'an and did not go anywhere else. The low map exploration degree was thus understandable.

However, although he did not explore the large map, the degree of historical change was greater than in the previous world. Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, in terms of historical significance, was no less important than Genghis Khan.

Moreover, Xiao Sheng killed Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, preventing the "Xuanwu Gate Incident"; he shaved Shifu Xuan and defeated Ning Daoqi; he eradicated the Demon Sect; he taught the brothers Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling to awaken their latent kingly qualities; he killed the Demon Marshal, leaving the Turks without a national master and preventing them from easily advancing south... Each of these actions was a strong stimulus and change to history. Therefore, it was reasonable to gain more temporal energy than in the previous world.

After the previous world, Xiao Sheng obtained 300 energy points. Before entering the Tang Dynasty world, he spent 110 points on various preparations. Now, with 360 points gained, his total energy reserve was 550 points, which was relatively ample.

Although the most important things in this world were already in his hands, out of curiosity, Xiao Sheng still checked what resources were available for purchase.

The most numerous resources were, of course, martial arts manuals. The prices were, as always, prohibitively expensive.

Additionally, there were some peculiar techniques, such as the "Yin Female Great Technique," "Seven Needles to Control the Spirit," gambling techniques, mechanical techniques, human skin masks, and horse-human integration techniques... These were not for fighting but had some unique uses. They were also available for purchase, but Xiao Sheng had no immediate need for them, so he ignored them.

Furthermore, Xiao Sheng obtained the Azure Dragon aura originally belonging to Li Shimin. He also acquired the Evil Emperor's relic and absorbed various martial arts from this world, fusing them into his own. He successfully created two killing moves — Chaos Thunder Brilliance and Heaven Fire Burning Star Style.

Through these two moves, Xiao Sheng successfully advanced his martial arts cultivation to the second level of the Grandmaster realm: the Chaotic Spirit Realm.

Ordinary martial arts practitioners at the Chaotic Spirit Grandmaster level could release an average of four tons of destructive power per punch. Xiao Sheng, at the first level of the Grandmaster realm, the Troubled Spirit Realm, could already achieve this level.

When fully exerting himself, Xiao Sheng could match the third level of the Grandmaster realm, the Restrained Spirit Realm, with each punch having sixteen tons of force. However, this state could not be sustained.

Now that Xiao Sheng had advanced to the Chaotic Spirit Realm, his casual punch had a full sixteen tons of destructive power, matching the third level of the Grandmaster realm, the Restrained Spirit Realm. When concentrating all his strength, he could achieve an astonishing thirty-two tons of force per punch in a short time!

On that day, the Northern Border Jiang family's Jiang Weichen, using a forbidden secret technique to activate his ancestral bloodline, transformed into a terrifying bat monster. His punches also had thirty-two tons of force.

In other words, now, even without wearing the Golden Knight Armor, Xiao Sheng, in terms of pure strength, was on par with that bat monster.
