Asura Mad Emperor

Ah Er chimed in, "That's true, Dongfang Zhen's strength has suddenly increased so much that he can hold his own against the four of us without falling behind. It must be the effect of elixirs.

However, after consuming one pill, the effectiveness of any additional pills in boosting strength is minimal, so we need not fear him taking more elixirs! Moreover, if we can delay for some time, the effects of the pill on Dongfang Zhen will fade, which will be greatly to our advantage!"

Fu Xi looked at Ah Er approvingly and then, with considerable dissatisfaction, slapped Ah Da on the head, "You have the brains of a pig!" which provoked a mutter from Ah Da.

If Qinchuan were aware of what Fu Xi and the others were thinking, he would've had to admire Fu Xi's unusual imagination.

Fu Xi had always seemed reckless and ignorant, but unexpectedly, he was being cautious this time and had a clever moment, which ultimately led to him being too clever for his own good.

But Qinchuan, at this moment, had no time to concern himself with Fu Xi and the others; instead, he leaned in and softly conveyed the Heart Technique Mantra.

When Dongfang Zhen first heard Qinchuan say he would impart more Oral Incantations, he had been skeptical, but then he thought about how truly effective the mental method that Qinchuan had previously shared was and immediately stepped up to Qinchuan to listen carefully to the Oral Incantation.

He was somewhat doubtful at first, but as soon as Qinchuan's mantra began, his sea of consciousness seemed to thunder like a clear sky struck by lightning, exploding out of nowhere in his mind.

"This... this... this Oral Incantation is actually the one to operate the Ming King inside me!"

As Qinchuan's Oral Incantation resonated repeatedly in his mind, he suddenly discovered that his True Qi began to circulate continuously on its own, and the Ming King, who was sitting in his sea of consciousness, started chanting in a low, sacred tone. Previously motionless, the Buddha Ming King then began to form seal gestures, creating a series of Buddhist Seals that were profound and mysterious, difficult to decipher at the moment.

And under these profound Buddhist Seals, his continuously flowing True Qi started to circulate, its aura rising nonstop.

As the flow of True Qi accelerated, the Ming King's hands came to a stop, returning to calmness, the Ming King remained still, but the Buddha's light continued to blaze intensely, and his whole being was bathed in the holy and auspicious light.

It was then that Dongfang Zhen suddenly felt a warm current flowing faintly through his Dantian, something he had noticed after eating that pill. He had simply thought it to be the effect of the pill at the time and hadn't paid it much attention.

Now he felt the aura growing stronger, the warm current becoming increasingly intense.

What was initially a gentle stream had turned into a surging river that flowed unceasingly towards his Dantian.

Immediately, he sat down cross-legged to closely feel this mysterious and profound aura of the Great Dao.

"Is it possible that I'm about to break through to the Dao Palace Realm?"

After Qinchuan finished reciting the Oral Incantation, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Dongfang Zhen, whose aura continued to rise around him, becoming stronger and stronger, clearly on the verge of breaking through the constraints of the Spirit Martial Realm and striking at the more powerful Dao Palace Realm.

But he soon realized why.

It was only natural that Dongfang Zhen, who could inherit his ancestor Gongshan Busu's Immovable King Holy Body, was extraordinary in talent. If not for the Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root inside his body constantly draining his True Qi, he would have broken through the Spirit Martial Realm long ago, not waiting until today.

And with Qinchuan having removed the Spirit Root, with no more obstacles in his path of cultivation, and coupled with the mental methods and Oral Incantations Qinchuan had shared, the realm he had long suppressed was now breaking its chains, a breakthrough was normal.

"Damn it! The kid's breaking through! Interrupt him!"

Fu Xi and the others, who were far away, had also noticed something unusual about Dongfang Zhen at this time and could no longer wait for the effects of the pill to wear off.

The highest realm among all participants in the event was Martial Artists at the Spirit Martial Nine Layers. If Dongfang Zhen broke through to the Dao Palace Realm and stepped into the category of Cultivators, perhaps no one would be his match by that time. Fu Xi immediately exclaimed in shock and anger.

Having said that, he released his aura all at once, unparalleled in Imperial Art, his True Qi surged to the skies, stirring the wind and clouds, Great Dao Principles gathered in this world, and soon they formed a vast Palm Imprint, smashing down towards the heads of Dongfang Zhen and Qinchuan!

Big Brother Ah and the others reacted to the sound, their True Qi vast and mighty, as they danced with Mysterious Techniques, Fist Shadows, and Palm Imprints transformed by illusion.

For a moment, the heavens and earth changed color with the wind and clouds, and the Mysterious Techniques howled towards them, ready to grind Dongfang Zhen into mincemeat in the blink of an eye.

"Perfect timing!"

Dongfang Zhen had just his eyes slightly closed, seemingly in tune with the laws of heaven and earth, when he suddenly opened his eyes, and dazzling divine light shone, casting its glow upon everyone.

Dongfang Zhen was much older than anyone else present and had long surpassed Fu Xi and the others in his comprehension of the Great Dao, held back only by an issue with his meridians that kept him from reaching the Dao Palace Realm.

Just as he sat down cross-legged, he grasped all the essentials for a breakthrough in that instant.

Yet, he found he still was unable to breakthrough and immediately understood that, although his understanding of Dao Magic was sufficient, he lacked the final push.

He immediately shouted angrily, "Perfect, I'll use all of you to help me break through!"

As he spoke, Dongfang Zhen summoned the Demon Suppression Staff into his hands, and with the Immovable King floating above his head, he radiated Buddhist radiance, dignified and imposing.

At that moment, Dongfang Zhen transformed into the likeness of an Arhat, wielding the Demon Suppression Staff, and he swept it mightily towards Fu Xi and the others.

"Boom——"

The Demon Suppression Staff clashed with numerous Mysterious Techniques bearing down, and a single strike of the staff against the sky-covering Palm Imprints created a deafening explosion and burst forth in dazzling divine light.

The next moment, everyone was stunned.

They saw the Palm Imprints that seemed to crush everything like mountains were shattered by a single blow from the Demon Suppression Staff, scattering into countless specks of golden light.

With one strike, Dongfang Zhen dispersed the Palm Imprints and, without any decrease in the power in his hands, swept once more towards the Fist Shadows and Palm Imprints.

"Rumble rumble!"

With a series of loud blasts, quite unsurprisingly, the Mysterious Techniques of the three men crumbled to dust against Dongfang Zhen's earth-shattering strike.

After dispersing everyone's Mysterious Techniques, Dongfang Zhen didn't stop but instead grew in aura, with Buddhist chants swirling around him. He looked like a Heavenly God descending to earth, and in his hands, the Demon Suppression Staff transformed into a pillar reaching for the heavens as he bore down on everyone.

"Be careful! This lad's strength has increased again!"

Despite not being very bright, Big Brother Ah had a good grasp of Martial Arts. Seeing the higher purpose within Dongfang Zhen's technique, which had vastly surpassed his previous ones, he couldn't help but loudly warn the others!

As soon as he had finished speaking, the Immovable King seated above Dongfang Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, and with both hands, a Demon-subduing Staff was conjured. Along with Dongfang Zhen's own Demon Suppression Staff, three staves were thrust simultaneously toward the chests of Big Brother Ah, Ah Er, and Ah San.

"Sss! Sss! Sss!"

Three consecutive sharp sounds rang out, and the three brothers cried in agony as all at the same time were pierced through their chests, instantly killed.

From Big Brother Ah's warning to Dongfang Zhen using the staff to pierce through their hearts, everything happened too quickly; it all occurred in the blink of an eye. While Big Brother Ah's voice still hung in the air, the three were already on the path of life and death.

And just at that moment, an unexpected change occurred.
