338: The battle against the god of assassins, the beginning of the conquest of the heavens.

Six years later.

The Wilderness of the Spirit Realm.

Xu Le's Aura surged, breaking through barriers in one go, raising his Cultivation to the point where it could advance no further.

The moment he achieved the Breakthrough, his mind wavered, and a wisp of his Qi drifted out.

Immediately, the heavens changed.

A terrifying Pressure covered an area of one hundred thousand li.

Lightning Dragons in the sky split and leaped, quickly converging into a single Dragon several thousand li thick.

Crackle, crackle, crackle... Before the Lightning Dragon even descended, the Void Realm had already begun to shatter.

Xu Le tried to Teleport away, but it had no effect; the surroundings were like hard cement, leaving no room for Teleportation.

He lifted his foot, but felt as if billions of jin of force were weighing on him, preventing him from moving even an inch.

“You think this little bit of Pressure can restrain me?” Xu Le gritted his teeth.

Not only had his Divine Soul Cultivated to the Peak, but his Physical Body had also reached the Peak.

Taking one step, with billions of jin of force pressing down on him, his body swayed, and he continued to take the second step.

Hmm!

I can do it!

And he could even control himself so as not to damage the ground.

Rumble, rumble, rumble... The Dark Thunder rumbled dully.

The Heavenly Dao was enraged!

But it did not immediately unleash Divine Lightning; instead, it pulled apart the Dark Clouds, expanding them by more than a hundredfold.

Looking up, almost the entire sky of the Spirit Realm was covered by the Dark Clouds.

Xu Le still paid no heed, taking the second step, the third step... After getting used to the surrounding Pressure, he could even run freely.

Although he couldn't Teleport, his speed could still reach 160 KM/h, faster than most cars on the highway.

The Heavenly Dao was completely enraged!

A terrifying Lightning Dragon struck down, several thousand li thick, impossible for Xu Le to dodge, instantly blasting him and the surrounding Wilderness into fine dust.

Even the earth was blasted down tens of thousands of li deep.

It was only because this was the Spirit Realm; in another place, the Planet itself would have been shattered.

Electric Arcs flashed, and a human figure appeared out of thin air—it was Xu Le, who had been blasted into fine dust.

With a gentle wave of his hand, the Electric Arcs on his body were brushed away like dust.

He looked up and saw another Lightning Dragon roaring as it struck down.

His expression unchanged, he snapped his fingers. In the Contract Space, a wisp of new Karma was attached to his body.

As long as the Karma was not destroyed, he would not be destroyed!

Boom!

Xu Le was blasted into fine dust again.

The land of the entire Spirit Realm was blasted down tens of thousands of Kilometers deep again.

Next came the third, the fourth... a total of twelve bolts of Lightning struck down consecutively.

Only then did the Thunder Clouds in the sky dissipate.

Xu Le's figure reappeared.

He then instantly attached a wisp of new Karma to himself.

The loss inflicted by the twelve Lightning Tribulations was the lives of twelve Malevolent Spirits.

And a set of clean clothes.

Putting on the new clothes, he took a step and reappeared ten thousand li away... Six years ago, he had used a “Fishing” method to capture hundreds of millions of Malevolent Spirits, all of whom he converted, contributing a massive amount of faith Value to him daily.

Just in case, he also caught a wild Malevolent Spirit and rushed towards the Yellow Sand Domain.

Inside the Oasis.

Eye Demon, Sea God, God of Assassins, and Serpent Mother—the four Gods—were already waiting nearby.

“Why are you only showing up now?” The God of Assassins currently looked like a skinny human old man in a Gray Robe.

Xu Le frowned: “If I recall correctly, I'm two days early for the agreed time.”

“Heh! So young, yet so many excuses! For a major event like this, are you trying to Cut it close?” the God of Assassins sneered.

Xu Le looked at the other three and realized they had no intention of mediating, immediately understanding that they wanted to gauge his strength.

“Fine! If you want to fight, just say so. Why bother with excuses?”

The God of Assassins said coldly: “My attacks are heavy and lack restraint. Be careful.”

Xu Le nodded: “Good! I offer that same warning to you!”

“Big words. I hope you don't disappoint me when the time comes.”

A Confrontation between Divine-Grade Peaks naturally couldn't be carried out casually; a Battlefield had to be set up in advance.

If even a wisp of Qi was accidentally leaked, the Heavenly Dao would wipe them all out in one sweep.

Inside the specially prepared Battlefield.

Xu Le and the God of Assassins faced off from a distance.

“Begin!” Eye Demon waved his hand sharply, then retreated from the Battlefield.

The God of Assassins swayed and immediately split into two Clones.

Three figures charged over simultaneously, each holding a sharp Dagger in their right hand.

The three figures Teleported simultaneously: one appeared in front of Xu Le, and two behind him, stabbing towards his heart, Kidney Area, and back of the head, respectively.

Shadow Teleportation: Three Kill Tribulation!

The Physical Body strength of all three figures had surprisingly advanced to the Divine-Grade Early Stage. Coupled with his current Divine-Grade Peak Divine Soul, their overall strength was not much inferior to what it was in the Divine Realm.

The three sharp Daggers burst open like Fireworks simultaneously, tearing apart the surrounding Void Realm.

But Xu Le's figure vanished.

He suddenly appeared in a section of the Void Realm and pointed a finger, which was wrapped in a dense Power of Universal Salvation.

Universal Salvation!

The God of Assassins' figure suddenly appeared, his face filled with dread.

The three previous Clones were all fake.

His True Body was hidden in the Void Realm, yet he hadn't expected to be found so easily.

What terrified him even more was that finger, which instilled a sense of dread in him.

Void Shadow Escape!

The moment his figure appeared, the God of Assassins sped away into the distance without the slightest hesitation.

But right behind him, a White Jade finger followed like a shadow, relentlessly pursuing him, making him afraid to stop.

Within Xu Le's Spirit Domain, none of the God of Assassins' movements could escape his Divine Sense. Xu Le intercepted him several times, but the God of Assassins truly deserved his title as a Deity specializing in the Dao of Assassination, managing to change direction just in time and narrowly evade capture every time.

Seeing that Eye Demon was about to come out and mediate, Xu Le regretfully withdrew his hand, and with a thought, a bolt of Lightning struck out.

Just as the God of Assassins sighed in relief, he slashed with the Dagger in his hand, and the Lightning was instantly annihilated.

“Stop!” Eye Demon's voice rang out.

He looked at Xu Le with some surprise, feeling as if his own actions had been anticipated by the other party.

His eyes narrowed, and he began to check the opponent's Fate Star... Three hundred years ago, nearly a hundred Companions were born with him in the Spirit Realm. Ancient Pine Spirit appeared and easily killed most of his Companions... Wait, his appearance is human, how could he be a Malevolent Spirit?

Xu Le's lips curled up: “Is it a good look?”

Eye Demon felt a bit awkward, caught spying on destiny by the Subject himself.

However, as an Old Hand who had mingled in the Divine Realm for thousands of years, he was shameless and simply pretended nothing had happened:

“Hahaha, I never expected your strength to increase to this level. This operation is bound to succeed.”

Sea God and Serpent Mother also jumped out to interject with jokes, as both Xu Le and the God of Assassins were extremely powerful, and they were unwilling to lose either one.

Xu Le naturally wouldn't prolong the matter either.

Showing off his strength was enough to prevent him from being underestimated.

The greatest enemy has always been the Heavenly Dao, mysterious and unpredictable. Before dealing with the Heavenly Dao, he didn't want Internal Conflict... “This is the Heaven-Reaching Formation I set up!”

“This Formation can tear open the Spirit Realm, allowing us to enter the Heavenly Dao Core and rush into its territory.”

“However, the cost is that this Formation allows us to go, but not to return.”

“Therefore, on this trip, if we don't succeed, we will Die honorably. I hope everyone doesn't Hold back and reveals their true strength, to facilitate coordination later.”

Eye Demon led everyone to the depths of the Oasis, pointing to the dense network of Formation Patterns on the ground.

“I see many Cracks in the Spirit Realm leading to the Real World. Can't we just go through those Cracks directly?”

The God of Assassins specializes more in the Dao of Assassination. Tearing open a passage and rushing through would inevitably lead to Frontal Combat, which isn't suited to his strengths.

“No! Over the years, I have traveled through an area the size of ten Real Worlds, and there isn't a single Crack leading to the depths,”

Eye Demon shook his head. “The Spirit Realm and the Heavenly Dao Core are completely separate worlds. I even suspect that side doesn't restrict the Transcendence of the Physical Body, so we must prepare ourselves mentally.”
