Martial Saint!

Mr. Turtle stood up after finishing his cultivation.

The Northern Guardian King and Lu Chenzhou were stunned in place, taking a while to come back to their senses. The Northern Guardian King shook his head and left.

"As expected of an Eighth Realm expert. If it were willing to intervene, many problems in the world would no longer be an issue. But the tribulations of civilization must be faced by civilization itself."

Lu Chenzhou couldn't help but sigh.

"The entire Grotto Heaven is within Senior Brother's Domain. It's incredibly powerful... Comparing myself and the Northern Guardian King is like children debating the sun before a scientist."

Mr. Turtle returned to his cave and continued cultivating after drinking tea. He looked at the dazed Lu Chenzhou and laughed, "No need to envy me. Your talents surpass mine; it's only a matter of time. I've cultivated for ten thousand years to gain just this level of strength, merely putting on a show in front of you. I'm too dull-witted."

"Great wisdom appears as foolishness; diligence makes up for clumsiness. I believe Senior Brother will definitely become a Great Power," Lu Chenzhou replied earnestly.

...

Wudang Mountain.

Hong Tianxiang ended his long retreat.

"Three years of retreat and finally I've reached the End Realm. Before sixty, I hope to become a Great Grandmaster. Heavenly Person List, here I come."

He arrived at his Senior Brother Zi Long's dojo.

Zi Long was questioning his existence.

"What's wrong, Senior Brother?"

Hong Tianxiang asked curiously.

Zi Long touched his chin: "My position at 500 on the Heavenly Person List is in jeopardy; Lu Chenzhou is already at 501. It's strange, has he become a Heavenly King or not?"

Currently, everyone before 580 on the Heavenly Person List is a Heavenly King.

This means his strength has surpassed nearly eighty Heavenly Kings, including some born within the Law Realm.

Inside, Hong Tianxiang felt both calm and desperate.

He had struggled to reach near Great Grandmaster level, but Lu had already surpassed Heavenly Kings, replicating the rise of the Dragon King, crushing all contemporary and ageless geniuses along the way.

...

A month later.

Star-Picking Tower, 5000th level.

"Roar!" A gigantic, hundred-yard-tall striped tiger Dharma Form, carrying the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon on its body, soared through the clouds and rode the wind. When its tiger claws descended, they shook the towering mountains.

In front of the giant tiger was a black-armored ape, brandishing an iron rod in an impenetrable manner. Its powerful pressure crushed the surrounding area, shattering layers upon layers of earth.

Klang!

The iron rod smashed the giant tiger away, the tiger's claws furrowing the ground and kicking up four rifts, barely stabilizing its form.

"Interesting. The Gatekeeper of the 5000th layer is a projection of the Primordial Spirit Son in his youth. Although it's only at the Early Stage of the Sixth Realm and can only last for a quarter hour, it's enough to block many Heavenly Kings. After all, this is one of the Seven Saints."

The Battle Realm had been around for decades.

The challengers numbered in the tens of millions, yet only 499 have made it through the 5000th layer, implying nearly a hundred Initial Realm Kings have been stuck at the 4999th layer.

Lu Chenzhou had already persevered for seven minutes.

"If I use the Law Realm, it wouldn't be difficult, but it wouldn't serve as a trial. Keep going, I'm just a bit shy of merging the two Tiger Form Fist Boxing techniques into one."

Meanwhile.

Countless Martial Artists watched the events unfold inside the Star-Picking Tower. They might witness the birth of a new record.

"Just five minutes more, hang in there, surpass it and become the only Great Grandmaster after the 5000th layer!"

"He will win..."

"Whenever Lu Shangjun makes a move, it's always earth-shattering, always breaking world records, we're used to it."

"If he uses a spear, he could definitely pass. But with only fist techniques, can he withstand even one strike from the ape?"

"That strike is terrifying."

"Several Heavenly Kings have been gravely injured."

Inside the Battle Realm.

The ape wielded its long rod, and behind it, a vast sea faintly took shape. One rod shadow after another rose, gathering on the sea into a world of rods that covered the sky and earth.

"Sweeping Four Seas!"

Millions of rod shadows descended, merging into a plain and simple Mountain Splitting Strike!

This strike's energy level had broken through a million ding.

Many Heavenly Kings met their end here.

"No wonder no one can face it head-on. This move continuously stacks the Power of One Sea through the stick technique, raising its attack power to an extremely terrifying level. Ordinary Initial Realm Kings can only find ways to evade. Fortunately, I've just practiced to the third layer, so I should be able to exchange a few blows!"

The giant tiger's Dharma Form stood between heaven and earth, constantly condensing and solidifying, and then transformed into a three-zhang-tall white-haired man with muscular build. His long hair flowed, smooth like a tiger's fur, exuding dominance!

He withdrew his right foot, like a fierce tiger about to ambush its prey. His muscles tightened, then relaxed, as billions of cells breathed in and out! A platinum power flowed out, gathering a "king" character at his forehead.

The new fist technique was born.

Bang!

He shot into the air, ripping through the earth, his right leg swept horizontally like a tiger's tail, a fierce gust of wind shot up like a pillar of light. T&h!anks for re&a!di#ng^—-br.o@u!ght to you by M+|!V+L-|E&MPYR#.

Boom, boom, boom!

His fists transformed into tiger claws. Each strike sent a compressed micro-world flying like a cannonball.

The savage stick world was riddled with holes by the explosion, and that white-haired figure was simply a War God!

"What a fist technique!"

The Primordial Spirit Son's projection grew serious, rod shadows forming a tornado, piercing the heavens and earth.

The spectators were all shocked.

"I don't know why, but it feels like the ape on the 5000th layer wasn't using its full strength in previous battles."

"They've increased the difficulty for our champion."

The white-haired man was knocked to the ground by the rod's force, he planted his hands into the earth. With a lift of the tiger claws, he raised two several-mile-long slabs of earth and hurled them toward the rod's position in the sky.

The ape refused to relent, its long rod in hand maneuvered, lifting several mountaintops, tearing through the skies to crush down.

"This is truly earth-shaking!"

"Incredible."

"This is a battle of the Heavenly Kings."

In the crowd, Old Ji shouted proudly:

"Disciple, keep it up!"

Shi Ruyu and Ji Feiyan seemed to meet Lu Chenzhou for the first time, unable to imagine this was their junior brother.

As the level difference grew greater, they seldom had the opportunity to see Lu Chenzhou in action, truly like an immortal.

...

"Phew, it's over..."

The white-haired man exhaled like thunder, rippling the mountain forest. The "Wang" character on his forehead slowly dissipated, and his flamboyant white hair gradually faded, turning back into simple, unadorned black short hair.

A quarter of an hour had passed.

The projection of Primordial Spirit Son was dissipating.

"Congratulations on passing 5000 layers... continue, go upwards, and experience the prestige of the first powerhouse."

Lu Chenzhou saluted with clasped fists.

"Thank you, Senior."

The upcoming important checkpoints should all be projections of former Heavenly Realm experts of the Heavenly Fighting Sect, quite something to look forward to.

A meteor fell.

Lu Chenzhou opened the box, his eyes moved.

A golden book, ancient and majestic.

"Eighth Rank Combat Technique, 'Sky-Supporting Eight Pillars'."

This is a stick technique that surpasses Supreme Divine Skills, consisting of eight styles, expansive and forceful, combined with the Path of Power Extreme, extremely fierce, not inferior to 'Canglang Dragon-controlling Technique', it can be used to verify his spear skill, acquiring this stick technique is akin to obtaining Primordial Spirit Son's most precious legacy.

After reading, Lu Chenzhou marveled.

"Senior Primordial Spirit Son truly is the most favored disciple of the ancestor, this combat technique is top-level among the eighth level; if you continue to deduce and practice the Ninth Style 'One Pillar Supporting Heaven and Earth', it shouldn't be far from the Great Power Realm."

What a pity.

So many geniuses in the Great Wilderness.

Now feared to turn into dust.

If cultivators were given time, maybe figures like Emperor Zhan would have already pioneered the path to becoming a god, perhaps those ruling the universe would no longer be the Great Wilderness Gods, but humans!

...

"Amazing!"

"500th place!"

"The only Great Grandmaster!"

"Tiger Form is mighty!"

"That transformation just now was so cool, this is the Tiger Form I envision, every move is so natural."

Countless spectators were boiling over.

The most excited were the Tiger Form disciples.

...

Wanxiang Dao Headquarters.

The Sword Embracing Tiger clenched a fist and cheered, saying to the White Shirt Tiger next to him: "It's obvious, Brother Lu's move borrowed the essence of my 'White Tiger Seven Killings Saber'..."

The White Shirt Tiger nodded deeply in agreement.

"Sigh, back then he just glanced at me more on the ring, and managed to steal the supreme mysteries I comprehended."

Buzzing—In Wanxiang Dao, the wind and clouds gathered, and many Heavenly Kings opened their eyes, looking towards the Tiger Form dojo.

"Wu Long is going to be a Heavenly King!"

"Double happiness!"

Soon after.

Good news came from Wanxiang Dao Headquarters, Wu Long successfully broke through the Sixth Layer without danger, becoming the second Heavenly King of the Tiger Form.

...

Returning to Su City Base City.

Lu Chenzhou looked at the Martial Arts Tree.

120,000 feet tall.

On the branches, 'Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist' and 'World Tiger Fist' shimmered, transforming into twisted runes, blending together, a new leaf emerged in the center of 'Six Volumes of Grey Dragon' and 'Mystic Turtle Sea Suppressing Fist', a White Tiger standing on a mountain peak, gazing at the starry sky.

[Please name the new fist technique.]

"Western Heavenly Realm Divine Fist."

[Western Heavenly Realm Divine Fist: Perfection]

[Divine Seed·Boundary God Divine Seed (Ninth Rank)]

...

Effect 4: Tiger Cave Ninth Level

Effect 5: Nation of the Boundary God

Effect 6: Realm God Descent

Effect 7: Boundary Spirit

Effect 8: Shrinking Realm to a Foot

...]

"The second self-created Supreme Divine Skill has been achieved, completely not inferior to 'Martial God Spear', and in terms of functionality, even stronger. The spear skill mainly involves slaughter, but this set of fist techniques also includes displacement, summoning gods, enslavement, domain, and most importantly, enhancing the speed of acupoint development."

The Nation of the Boundary God, simply put, is a domain-like skill similar to [Dusk of the Gods] and [Eastern Chanting], evolved from [King's Domain], as long as he wishes, these three major domains can switch at any time.

Thus, his Law Domain has three forms. In the future, if he can comprehend new domains, they can be added.

The focus of the three is different.

Dusk of the Gods, focuses on slaughter and attack.

Eastern Chanting, focuses on defense and blocking.

The Nation of the Boundary God, focuses on control and displacement.

Its domain range is also seven kilometers in diameter, within the nation, Lu Chenzhou controls the Five Elements Yin Yang, can alter the environment at will, and can perform [Shrinking Realm to a Foot], achieving true teleportation, and can also summon Chang Ghosts, becoming the unkillable [Boundary Spirit] within the domain.

Of course, the most perverse is [Realm God Descent], this is "Summoning God", which can stimulate the acupoints within, summon the self-named [Heavenly White Tiger] to descend, activating the Four Symbols of [White Tiger Realm God Form], hair turns white, killing intensity skyrockets within a short period.

If paired with [Mountain Lord Seal], [Kun Character Technique] and other augmentation methods... combat power will soar in place.

"The prototype of Lu's Four Symbols Fist is completed, next is to elevate Phoenix Call to the Nine Heavens to Upper Level, and then perfect Dragon Form and Turtle Form, to create a Supreme Divine Skill!"
