Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

In the Boundless Purgatory, a Water Moon Cave Heaven expanded, resembling a Pure Land within hell; a vast Bright Moon rose, the pond's surface gently rippled, the moonlight ethereal, untainted by dust, unaffected by karma.

A figure escaped the Death Domain with composure, enveloped by moonlight, holy and transcendent.

But in the next moment, his figure erupted violently, stretching like a True Dragon, piercing the sky, and arriving with lightning speed.

Zhong Nanzhu's expression changed again; the opponent had unfolded a mysterious realm, erasing some of his Divine Rune powers, severing his connection with the Dharma.

Unbelievable!

Though it lasted only an instant, the opponent's long saber also descended at this moment, an immensely domineering strike, as if looking down upon him, slashing downward!

Pu!

Speckles of golden blood splattered, and the arm holding the spear was severed.

The long saber cut off an arm!

From afar,

Watching Zhong Nanzhu cough blood and flee within two exchanges, the crowd was in an uproar.

"Who is that man? With two strikes, he cut off Zhong Nanzhu's arm?!"

"Indeed, the Sun and Moon Alliance has experts behind it; this is a trap, not Heavenly Net Hall attempting to eliminate the Sun and Moon Alliance, but the Sun and Moon Alliance setting a trap to hunt Heavenly Net Hall!"

"Sun and Moon Alliance... A day and a month dominating the sky concurrently? No wonder it has that name; it turns out Senluo was that Bright Moon."

"Void Boat City is about to see a change in power..."

...

"Ah..."

Zhong Nanzhu roared in fury, and during his prolonged scream, all of his Qi-blood was forced to burn, surging up to the sky, turning into a fiercely burning divine flame, temporarily repelling Ji Jingqiu's pursuit.

He summoned his spear in one move, not even caring about his severed arm, he lifted it with his left hand, unleashing the Divine Power contained within, its imposing energy terrifying, ferociously slashing down!

He was trapped in a life-or-death predicament, his wildness fully revealed, his murderous intent intense, patterns similar to those of a Heavenly Demon emerged on his skin, every inch of his flesh shining, bursting with potential at this moment, fighting fiercely to madness, every strike devastating; if faced with Senluo, he wouldn't withstand two spears without coughing blood in retreat.

Ji Jingqiu, too, was full of fighting spirit, his eyes sparkling, feeling the pressure from his enemy for the first time in ages.

The opponent's physical body was extremely powerful, making him feel admiration; even though he had activated the first level of Divine Storage, he still needed the embryonic form of the dojo, achieving unity of the body, allowing strength to converge to overpower him.

At this moment, he still remained transcendent and domineering, continuously overpowering Zhong Nanzhu.

And the latter, also worthy of being called this generation's Supreme in the Southern Wilderness Continent, bursting forth with potential in desperation, his Qi-blood boiling like the ocean, battling Ji Jingqiu to a brief standstill.

But his Qi-blood was fading; although still vigorous as boiling water, it was merely a façade.

"Young Palace Master, run!"

An attendant from Heavenly Net Hall finally shook off the entanglement of the Flood Dragon, leading dozens of Divine Travel Warriors to charge over, restraining Ji Jingqiu.

Zhong Nanzhu finally regained his calm, staggering, letting out a wild beast-like scream, unwillingly retreating under the unwavering protection of warriors of Heavenly Net Hall to the back.

He had originally come with great momentum, ready to slay Senluo as a demonstration, yet suffered heavily, losing an arm within two exchanges and fell into a life-or-death situation.

The warriors near the portal hastily moved aside, fearing they might unintentionally get hurt by Zhong Nanzhu, who was now severely injured and unpredictable in his fury.

Watching Zhong Nanzhu fleeing with his arm severed, coughing blood, they felt extremely alarmed!

Even Zhong Nanzhu, the foremost Body Refinement expert of the Southern Wilderness Continent, had to flee in panic after losing an arm, who could match this opponent?!

The premiere battle among the top fighters of the Ancient Road had thus unexpectedly begun, and hastily concluded?

...

"Big brother, aren't we going to chase and kill Zhong Nanzhu?" Senluo was immensely shaken.

He knew Ji Jingqiu was strong, but not to this extent!

He knew well the capabilities of Zhong Nanzhu; though having advanced steps ahead in Divine Travel Realm gave him some advantage, his physical robustness was amazing, truly deserving the title of the foremost Body Refinement expert of this generation in the Southern Wilderness Continent!

Even if they were completely on the same level, he had no confidence in matching him in battle, yet the other couldn't last more than a few exchanges with Ji Jingqiu.

Ji Jingqiu advanced with his saber, calmly said:

"That guy's been wounded at his origin by me, he'll need to hide somewhere to recover for the next month or two, daring not to show his face; didn't you say earlier to give you time to rise and then suppress him? I've bought you time."

"Regarding now..."

"Taking care of this guy is the top priority."

A strong wind approached, and amidst the dragon's roar, the Flood Dragon, having fought to a draw with many Heavenly Net Hall warriors, was now rushing towards the depths of the black mist, trying to escape back to its lair.

But how could Ji Jingqiu let it go.

Having fulfilled their duty as members of the alliance, it was now his turn!
