Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree

In recent days,

Void Boat City has been simmering with undercurrents.

"Is the Heavenly Net Hall actually making a move against the Sun and Moon Alliance? Has that person emerged from seclusion, preparing to personally take on Senluo?!"

"It's likely true. The warriors of the Heavenly Net Hall are gathering. They've united hundreds of elite forces. Once they form the Heavenly Net Killing Formation, no one of the same rank stands a chance!"

"The Killing Formation... Only an overlord force with such profound heritage can afford to prepare their elites in advance and plant the seeds of the Killing Formation in the True Seed Realm, taking it to the Ancient Road."

"Pity that the Sun and Moon Alliance is about to fall; I've heard they've had quite a few people withdraw recently."

"When dusk falls on the western mountains, it's only natural to leave. There aren't many ties that bind, as a fine bird chooses a tree to nest in."

Amidst all these discussions,

the agents of Heavenly Net Hall brazenly march through Void Boat City and towards the outer realms, publicly announcing their intent to annihilate the Sun and Moon Alliance.

Many choose to follow behind, eager to witness this battle firsthand.

The people of the Heavenly Net Hall do not obstruct them, nor do they clear the field, for this battle will serve as the best propaganda. With the fall of the Sun and Moon Alliance, the true ruler of Void Boat City shall be proclaimed.

...

Deep within the black fog,

"Humans, I have not provoked you. Leave now, and I may spare your life."

A cold Spirit Communication comes from the castle ahead.

Ji Jingqiu gazes at the castle, feeling an aura similar to that of a Heart Nightmare.

Sure enough, just like the Void Demon Descendants, creatures within have been invaded by the Heart Nightmare, and even the black mists surrounding this place might be related.

"You're sick and need treatment," Ji Jingqiu responds indifferently.

Regardless of the Heart Nightmare, if they want a secure hold on this world, they need to take down this individual. Otherwise, who knows when it might lash out in madness?

Even if they could coexist peacefully, a fight must first take place, followed by the signing of a contract.

Not to mention that the being in the castle has already been invaded by the Heart Nightmare.

"Leave!"

"A mere Divine Travel daring to provoke me?! Detestable! If I were at my peak, I could kill you with a flip of my palm!"

The icy and furious voice of the spirit resonates once again.

Ji Jingqiu calmly states, "Do you think I'm alone? My other friend has already gone to gather reinforcements. Soon, an elite army of True Seed and Divine Travel warriors will arrive to hunt you down together. If you surrender now, I can still treat you."

The roar of a dragon echoes, as a terrifying presence emanates from deep within the castle. Like a primitive dragon awakening, a serpentine figure climbs onto the castle, opening its blood-red, predatory eyes, coldly glaring at the not-too-distant Ji Jingqiu, its presence locking onto him, ready to pounce and kill at any moment.

This is a dragon-like mythical creature, over a hundred meters in size!

"I will kill you first!"

Enraged, the dragon-shaped creature dives into the sky, lunging forward!

But Ji Jingqiu does not confront it directly; instead, he subtly retreats.

The creature's strength is as expected—fighting head-on is out of the question. They must join forces with the people from the Heavenly Net Hall.

...

Over the plain, the strong grass lay flat.

Senluo stands on the plain, composed, awaiting the arrival of Heavenly Net Hall's forces.

Following the Sun and Moon Alliance's message, the people from the Heavenly Net Hall have approached.

Indeed,

at the entrance, a figure wielding a war halberd strides in majestically, eyes coldly locked onto Senluo ahead.

Seeing Senluo's seemingly long wait, Young Palace Master Zhong Nanzhu's eyes grow slightly colder.

His war halberd slashes through the void, bearing an astonishing aura of carnage as the battle begins outright.

This strike is overwhelmingly powerful, as Zhong Nanzhu spares no effort, confident it could cleave any at the Sealing King Peak, expecting Senluo to be caught off guard and grievously injured.

This is his disdain, and his stance. Marching from afar, a halberd strike defeating a Quasi-taboo, sufficient to deter many and forge his own reputation.

But he didn't expect—Senluo blocks it!

The Purple Crystal on Senluo's forehead shines brilliantly, affecting Zhong Nanzhu's judgment and perception with a Spiritual Position, causing his strike to fall at the wrong angle.

Seizing the opportunity, Senluo strikes back, grabbing the war halberd with one hand and forming a Rune with the other, as if surrounded by an illusory domain that moves with his attack.

Zhong Nanzhu snorts coldly; his war halberd shakes off Senluo's grip, and then sweeps across the sky so swiftly that it forces Senluo, who took the initiative, to retreat as the hand that grasped the halberd trembles with numbness.

Senluo's expression grows solemn.

From the first exchange, he realizes that this opponent is formidable indeed, possessing worldly Divine Power and a physique so terrifyingly strong at this stage—the strength is distinctively superior!

"Purgatory Demon Body" from Senluo Purgatory truly upholds one of the strongest Body Refinement heritages in Southern Wilderness Continent!

"Have you transcended the Taboo threshold?"

In several exchanges, Zhong Nanzhu's gaze sparkles with Divine Light, and within his pupils, runes of Dharma flicker—a Pupil Skill, attempting to pierce through Senluo's guise.

From within Senluo's Purple Crystal, waves of powerful Power of the Spirit radiate as he gathers his strength.

Zhong Nanzhu's eyes flicker: "You've violated our taboo. Initially, my intention was to strike you down, but your astonishment now compels me to change my mind. Submit to me, and you may have a place on the Ancient Road."

A thought stirs in Senluo's heart as he asks, "Taboo? What taboo?"

He has been puzzled about Heavenly Net Hall's sudden move against them.

Zhong Nanzhu does not explain, his expression turns cold, "It seems you are unwilling, then let's subdue you first before we talk!"

...

"Has Senluo broken through the Taboo ranking? No wonder he dares to clash with the Heavenly Net Hall!"

"Underestimated him; he actually challenges the Young Palace Master of the Heavenly Net Hall."

"It looks like the situation isn't very good. Senluo is at a disadvantage; his breakthrough came too late, while that member of the Heavenly Net Hall has already made several breakthroughs and transformations. This fight is unfair."
