Su Zimo sprinted ahead.

The Yu Emperor chased closely behind. The distance between the two of them was getting closer and the killing intent in Su Zimo’s eyes was intensifying!

Suddenly!

An extremely evil aura suddenly descended and Su Zimo’s bloodline could not help but stir, as though it was about to spill out of his body!

“Mmm?”

Su Zimo’s expression changed.

That was the aura of the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra!

Su Zimo widened his eyes and channeled his Heavenly Eye. Crossing the voids, he caught sight of a figure 5,000 kilometers away.

Although the figure was a little blurry, he recognized it instantly.

Monk Daming!

Monk Daming was giving him a hand!

“Ugh!”

Behind Su Zimo, the Yu Emperor suddenly grunted and paused. He staggered as though he was greatly affected!

Without hesitation, Su Zimo released his Heavenly Feet and burrowed underground. His body was shrouded by a Buddhist light and he seemed to have fused with the mud as he tunneled underground without any resistance!

That was the power of Heavenly Feet!

Once Heavenly Feet was cultivated to become a greater divine power, one could tunnel far away within the five elements!

This time round, after Su Zimo escaped, he could sense that the Yu Emperor did not catch up to him.

Before long, he left the Yu Emperor behind completely.

Su Zimo was puzzled.

However, the danger was not over yet and Su Zimo did not think too much about it. He changed directions and sped towards Monk Daming.

Given his speed, he arrived before long and leaped up from the ground, looking at Monk Daming who was not far away.

Just as Su Zimo was about to thank Monk Daming with cupped fists, he realized that the latter’s figure was gradually dissipating and turning into nothingness.

Su Zimo lowered his gaze and saw the words on the ground—See you on the Divine Power Ranking!

Monk Daming had long left and what remained was his phantom along with those words.

Although it was a short statement, Su Zimo could sense Monk Daming’s fighting spirit!

It was only at this moment that Monk Daming truly viewed Su Zimo as his opponent.

Those words were also a declaration of war!

It had nothing to do with grudges.

In this generation, anyone who could encounter an opponent close to their level would be delighted and want to compete!

Prior to this, Monk Daming had always been ahead of Su Zimo.

Towards Su Zimo, it was always similar to how a senior would look down upon a junior.

But now that Su Zimo had comprehended a greater divine power and advanced to the late-stage Mahayana realm, Monk Daming knew that Su Zimo was qualified to be his opponent!

Su Zimo looked at those words and suddenly smiled.

Monk Daming would not have expected that the two of them had already fought when they were at the Half-Martial Ancestor realm.

Of course, that was the Martial Dao Prime Body.

This Green Lotus True Body had yet to engage Monk Daming in a hearty battle!

Even Su Zimo was looking forward to it.

Suddenly, Su Zimo frowned slightly and recalled the doubt he had earlier on.

When he saw Monk Daming earlier on, his cultivation realm was only at the late-stage Mahayana realm.

How could a late-stage Mahayana Monk Daming affect an Emperor?

Even the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra did not have such power.

Furthermore, when Monk Daming released the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra earlier on, Su Zimo felt uncomfortable as well. His bloodline seemed to have broken free from his control and wanted to break out of his body!

Su Zimo pondered for a moment but came to no conclusion. He suppressed that doubt in his heart for the time being and sped forward after determining his direction.

Now that Su Zimo had advanced to the late-stage Mahayana realm, he was prepared to look for a secluded and safe place to enter seclusion once more to comprehend the other greater divine powers of the Creation Green Lotus.

The Dharma Characteristic Ranking was held once every thousand years.

The Divine Power Ranking was held once every 10,000 years!

It had been close to 10,000 years since the previous Divine Power Ranking.

The Divine Power Ranking would open up again in around 300 years.

In that 300 years, he had to comprehend as many greater divine powers as possible so that he could fight Monk Daming!

Hundreds of thousands of kilometers away, the Yu Emperor stood in the air with a changed expression. His eyes flickered with shock and fear.

“Just who in the world was that?”

“Impossible!”

The Yu Emperor narrowed his eyes with a strange blood glint.

After pondering for a moment, he could not come up with an answer. Taking a deep breath of air, he sneered, “Desolate Martial, you can escape for now, but not forever!”

“The only way is if you do not appear to fight for a spot on the Divine Power Ranking. Once you do, I’ll make sure you die without a burial ground!”

“There won’t be any accidents next time!”

When Su Zimo came out of seclusion this time round, he fought against many Mahayana Patriarchs and even attracted the attack of an Emperor, causing quite a stir in the ancient battlefield.

However, things calmed down gradually with Su Zimo’s disappearance.

The ancient battlefield returned to normal.

However, all the Patriarchs knew in their hearts that once Desolate Martial reappeared, another bloodbath would definitely break out in the ancient battlefield!

The Yu Emperor would definitely not let Desolate Martial off!

There was no room for negotiation between the two of them.

If the Yu Emperor could not kill Desolate Martial, his death would come the day the latter becomes an Emperor!

…

Tianhuang Mainland.

When the Green Lotus True Body entered seclusion once more, the Martial Dao Prime Body that was in Ping Yang Town exited his seclusion.

Now that he was out of seclusion, the Martial Dao Prime Body had already entered the Mahayana realm!

For the Martial Dao Prime Body, the most normal cultivation method was to enter the ancient battlefield and comprehend divine powers there.

However, that way, the path of the Martial Dao Prime Body would be no different from the Green Lotus True Body.

Furthermore, there was another place that might be more suitable for the Martial Dao Prime Body than the ancient battlefield!

Of course, this place was also extremely dangerous!

The Martial Dao Prime Body looked to the west.

“Young master, are you leaving?”

Tao Yao arrived beside the Martial Dao Prime Body and asked softly.

Over the years of cultivation, Tao Yao had already cultivated to the Conjoint Body realm and became a Grand Demon.

Under normal circumstances, apart from seclusion cultivation, one had to head out to train and fight against many strong foes.

One could only break through bottlenecks better through countless life and death battles.

After all, there was only a single person in history that could make use of the Martial Dao Furnace to smelt all Dharmic arts and nurture a hundred sutras… a single variant like the Martial Dao Prime Body!

However, Tao Yao was even stranger.

He did not have to fight with others. However, his cultivation would increase bit by bit just by staying in this tiny courtyard in Ping Yang Town.

It was neither fast nor slow but there were no bottlenecks.

The Martial Dao Prime Body could not understand it either.

However, in the eyes of the Martial Dao Prime Body, this was not a bad thing.

After all, Tao Yao had never liked to fight.

Although Tao Yao had fought with others up till this point of his cultivation, his palm had not been tainted by a single drop of blood!

“I’m leaving,”

The Martial Dao Prime Body nodded slightly. “There’s no need for you to follow. Stay in Ping Yang Town and protect the citizens well.”

“I will, don’t worry, young master.”

Although Tao Yao’s eyes were reluctant, he nodded obediently.
