roar!
Just as Feng Bingwen was awestruck by the unprecedented ecology, a monster suddenly appeared, seemingly out of place with everything around him, and had already set its sights on him.
It was a flying dragon with two legs and four wings. Thick scales covered every inch of its body, and its bulging muscles showed how solid its physique was, making it a monster that could fly through the air.
The monster soared into the air from a newly formed mountain and pounced on Feng Bingwen. The handsome young Taoist priest didn't even move before his crystal fist, as large as a small mountain, descended from the sky and smashed into the monster's head.
Snap!
It was as if some extremely crisp and solid object had been shattered, with bits of flesh and bone mixed with brain matter scattering all over the ground in an instant. The headless corpse struggled weakly in the air for a couple of moments before falling to the ground, where it was devoured by the plants that rushed to decompose it.
"Do not harm my lord!"
A towering figure, hundreds of feet tall and majestic like a mountain, gradually appeared behind Feng Bingwen, standing tall and imposing.
Earth Spirit!
Its power originates from Feng Bingwen, whose realm is its upper limit, but the combat power it can exert depends on the supernatural abilities and Taoist techniques it has mastered.
However, no matter how solid his foundation is, and he can be considered a primordial spirit, due to Feng Bingwen's own limitations, the combat power he can exert is only at the Yuan Dan realm. He may be able to fight against beings at the Human Immortal level, but he cannot withstand stronger monsters.
Therefore, just a moment ago this earth spirit had swaggered and said "Do not harm my lord," but the next moment its head was smashed by a fist from a one-eyed giant, and then half of its body was crushed by a monster with hard horns on its head.
Chirp! Caw! Quack!
After Tu Ling collapsed, he was overwhelmed by the surging monsters. Even though he could draw on the power of the earth's veins to repair his body, he still couldn't get up.
As for the other four spirits, although they also manifested one after another afterward, they were unable to provide any assistance, as more monsters had become entangled with them. Even Feng Bingwen's flamboyant pose could not be maintained for long before he had to join the battle and fight against numerous monsters.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Supreme Daoist, the most powerful immortal sect of the human race, was in grave danger. If it weren't for the divine wheel radiating five-colored divine light following and protecting him closely, he might have already died on the spot, his life cut short at a young age.
"Take me away right now! This is not a place I should be!"
Relying on his innate Five Elements Dao Body, Feng Bingwen recklessly unleashed numerous powerful abilities capable of altering celestial phenomena and moving mountains and creating seas. However, such extravagance was too much for Feng Bingwen to handle.
He felt as if he had returned to the ancient era when giant beasts roamed freely, and every monster was not to be underestimated, possessing unique talents and supernatural abilities.
However, he also knew that everything he saw before him was created by that extraterrestrial being that had been imprisoned and suppressed. Even if he returned to the ancient times, it would be the ancient times of another world.
Because none of the plants and trees here are familiar to Feng Bingwen. This is the ecological environment of another world, or rather, an ecological environment entirely dominated by that extraterrestrial creature.
"Young man, with this old man here, what are you afraid of? The timid starve, the bold thrive. Although I don't have the Heavenly Eye and can't see the merits on your body, I estimate that you've already reaped considerable rewards!"
Hearing Feng Bingwen's urging, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel had no intention of running away with him. He had carefully considered his actions before sending Feng Bingwen here, not acting recklessly.
The closer one gets to that extraterrestrial behemoth, the stronger the monsters that are born will become. Some of the ancient species that originally lived in the Supreme Dao Mountain Gate may be directly corrupted and infected, resulting in bloodline mutations that can rival the first generation of monsters.
However, this is not something Feng Bingwen needs to worry about. Some of the immortals of the Supreme Dao have been forcibly awakened by that old fellow Dao Master. They are all watching from heaven and will surely have enough power to suppress any dissent.
"I may have made some gains, but I'm here to reap the rewards, not to risk my life!"
As Feng Bingwen cursed and swore, he had already unleashed the Law of Heaven and Earth, transforming his body into a three-hundred-foot-tall form, comparable to the mountains. With a single punch, a tiger's roar and a dragon's cry erupted, the power of the true dragon and the white tiger intertwining and evolving to unleash a terrifying killing force, causing the monster tide that surged toward him like a tidal wave to explode one after another.
However, this terrifying performance did not deter these extraterrestrial demons. Not only did monsters at the Yuan Dan realm rush forward one after another, but even a monster with an aura comparable to a Daoist immortal rushed over.
"Just tell me, how much did you gain?"
The Five Elements Heavenly Wheel shone brightly in the sky, but despite its dazzling brilliance, the monsters completely ignored it and rushed towards Feng Bingwen and his five guardian spirits.
"Very impressive!"
Feng Bingwen did not speak against his conscience. He could clearly see the so-called merits that cultivators talked about. Every good deed was recorded in the Heavenly Book. At this moment, Feng Bingwen could see that the page recording good deeds was constantly being refreshed.
"That's right! There's a saying among mortals: fortune favors the bold!"
"You know that's just a common saying among mortals. I am a cultivator, a celestial being, and the celestial path values life!"
At this moment, the giant that Feng Bingwen had transformed into had flowing black hair and a strong and powerful body. With every move he made, there was the aura of dragons and tigers. His surging blood energy could not be concealed and soared straight into the sky, like a blood dragon soaring through the air.
He fought the monster, who was at the level of a human immortal, in the most primitive way. Every punch landed hard, blood flowed freely, and scales, flesh, and bone fragments flew everywhere. Even though Feng Bingwen had a special physique and had received many blessings, he could not help but bleed.
However, the price he paid for bleeding was that the ferocious monster fell at his feet and could never get up again.
"But looking like you, who would think you're a cultivator of immortality?"
Seeing Feng Bingwen display his formidable physique, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel marveled. He was almost certain that something had happened after he went to explore the Tomb of the Gods. This kid definitely didn't have such powerful blood energy before. Although he wasn't weak, he wasn't at this level.
"I cultivate both immortal and martial arts, is that not allowed?"
Feng Bingwen tore apart another flying monster he didn't recognize. This monster didn't belong to his world; it was born because of the monster's existence.
"If I remember correctly, martial arts cultivation emphasizes courage and diligence, facing difficulties head-on, never backing down, defeating the strong with the strong, seeking in desperate situations, and hovering between life and death!"
"I'm not just a pure martial arts brute!"
"Then you can be considered a half-martial arts practitioner. Fighting for life and death is just right for your martial arts cultivation. Don't be afraid, Daoist, the immortals are all watching you from the heavens!"
"I'll be exhausted!"
Feng Bingwen was not fooled by the old man. He was now teetering on the brink of death and was feeling pressure he had never experienced before.
He had previously traveled to the territory of the demon race under the banner of the human race. Even though there were many powerful figures on the demon race's side who disliked him and wished they could kill him on the spot, he also had equally powerful figures on his side who could keep him in check. The battles with the demon race were all fair one-on-one duels.
But now that he's home, back on his own turf, he never expected to suffer such a change. In his own mountain gate, he finds himself fighting alone, surrounded by monsters that don't belong to his territory.
The rules here have even been distorted and changed. No, that's not right. The monster hasn't been changed yet; it hasn't become that powerful. Instead, new rules have been added to it. Just as the old man said, this monster is releasing its power in the hope that this world can accept and accommodate it.
However, this caused some trouble for Feng Bingwen. The recovery speed of his Five Elements Dao Body was not as fast as it was under normal circumstances. Even though his blood energy was like a dragon, his blood energy was still declining at an extremely dangerous rate under the continuous attacks of monsters. After all, he could also get injured.
"What's the rush? Aren't I watching you from the side? If you really can't hold on any longer, I'll naturally take you away. If you're purely focused on martial arts, I'll just leave you here right now and let you experience what it means to be on the brink of life and death!"
"If you dare to let me experience what it means to be on the brink of life and death, when I attain enlightenment in the future, I will show you what it means to be reforged from the ashes!"
Feng Bingwen gritted his teeth and threatened him hatefully.
He upheld and followed the principles of "a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall" and "a wealthy man does not sit under a dangerous roof." Given his status, he should have simply followed the proper path of enlightenment and cultivation; there was no need to risk his life—that was something only a hopeless rogue cultivator would do.
"Hey kid, I'm protecting you now, so watch your mouth. If you piss off this old man, I might just leave you here!"
"The immortals are watching from heaven, you're welcome to give it a try!"
Feng Bingwen felt the pressure, but he was not intimidated at all. He didn't think he could encounter any life-or-death crisis within his own sect.
"Immortals don't have time to deal with you!"
"Um?"
Feng Bingwen had no time to pay attention to this somewhat unethical spiritual artifact, because he sensed a powerful spatial fluctuation erupting. He unconsciously turned his head to look behind him and just then saw a magnificent pillar of light falling from the sky, with boundless immortal light surging.
The celestial light connected heaven and earth, and its source was a bright star suspended in the sky. If there were no surprises, it would be a grotto-heaven created by the Supreme Daoist.
"By order of the Celestial Emperor, slay the extraterrestrial demons!"
Under Feng Bingwen's delighted gaze, beneath the celestial jade pillar, a banner fluttered and a heavily armored legion of Dao soldiers charged out. The moment they made contact, they stopped the monster tide that was spreading across the continent of Taishang Dao Mountain and began to push back.
"Daoist soldier!"
Looking at that army of Dao soldiers, Feng Bingwen was pleasantly surprised, but also felt it was only natural. How could the number one immortal sect of the Supreme Daoist race not have its own Dao soldiers?
This legion of Daoist soldiers was a cavalry force, whose main body seemed to be humanoid creatures, but they should not be human, because their figures were all more than ten feet away, and their specific faces could not be seen, because they were all covered by a suit of armor that shimmered with spiritual light and was inscribed with Daoist runes.
The beast beneath him resembles a horse, but it has wings, claws on its four hooves, and fangs in its mouth. It is extremely ferocious and fearless, and even when facing monsters stronger than itself, it dares to charge in formation under the command of the rider on its back.
"Kid, aren't you envious?"
Seeing that Feng Bingwen's attention was drawn to the army of Dao soldiers that descended from the sky, the Five Elements Heavenly Wheel asked a question.
"What's there to envy?"
Feng Bingwen felt completely bewildered.
"Don't you want to train a force of Dao soldiers who will obey your command?"
Upon hearing the question about this magical artifact, Feng Bingwen looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"Kid, what kind of look is that?"
"I remember you just scolded me for being too ambitious, but now you're urging me to train Dao soldiers. Is that something I can even think of right now?"
"Why wouldn't you dare to think about it? You have a blessed land. Although you've ruined it, it's still big enough."
"oh!"
Feng Bingwen remained unmoved and completely unfazed.
The resources he currently has are more than enough to support his own cultivation and his followers. However, if he were to foolishly try to train some kind of Dao soldiers, he would be destitute within days.
The armies of mortals are like bottomless pits, capable of crippling a nation's economy. The Daoist armies formed by cultivators are even more of a bottomless pit, which even a single sect or faction might not be able to support.
"Don't even think about those that strong. You can start by training the weaker ones. Take it slow, what's the rush? When you take charge of the blessed lands within the sect, you'll be able to cultivate a force of Dao soldiers capable of slaying immortals!"
"Let's talk about that then, let's not discuss it now!"
Feng Bingwen ignored the words of the spirit artifact and focused his attention on the bright star hanging high in the sky. After the first pillar of immortal light descended, one after another, immortal lights fell, followed by a majestic and extraordinary array of Daoist soldiers.
These Dao soldiers, trained and trained by the Supreme Dao Immortal, numbered in the tens of thousands in each unit. The average strength of these Dao soldiers was even more alarming to Feng Bingwen, because the weakest Dao soldier was at the Yuan Dan realm, the same level as him.
However, after carefully sensing it, he did feel something strange and noticed some anomalies. Some of the Dao soldiers seemed to lack precise control over his power, as if this power was not something he had cultivated himself.
"This is the foundation of the Supreme Dao sect!"
Seeing tens of thousands of Dao soldiers at the Yuan Dan realm appear at the same time greatly shocked Feng Bingwen. He also understood why the number one immortal sect of the human race was so strict in selecting its disciples. They simply did not need disciples with ordinary aptitude.
However, after a brief moment of shock, Feng Bingwen quickly came to his senses. After the Dao soldiers of the Supreme Dao arrived, they began to work together to annihilate everything created by the alien behemoth. If he had been any slower, he wouldn't have even gotten a drop of soup.
