854: Chapter 855 System, fully upgraded!

Heavenly King Chi Xiao withdrew his gaze, his tone still calm, but with a hint of coldness: "Is that so? That person in the Heaven-Reaching Realm, who seems to be called Purple Bamboo Daoist, where is he?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them shivered, but the Heavenly Emperor of the Beginning remained calm on the surface: "Senior, please understand. Purple Bamboo Daoist was originally at the Heavenly Emperor Extreme Realm. Having fought the Black Abyss for millions of years, he only achieved his Breakthrough after a sudden moment of enlightenment. It truly has nothing to do with the seed! His whereabouts are uncertain, and we do not know them either!"

Heavenly King Chi Xiao glanced at him without speaking, then raised his hand and clenched it gently.

The Void Realm around the Heavenly Emperor of the Beginning instantly solidified, as if an invisible hand had gripped him tightly.

He shuddered, unleashing his full Heavenly Emperor-level cultivation, yet he couldn't even cause a ripple; that invisible hand remained unmoved.

"I do not wish to repeat myself a second time."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao's tone was icy: "Where are the seed and the person?"

The Heavenly Emperor of the Beginning gritted his teeth: "Senior, we truly do not know!"

Heavenly King Chi Xiao was silent for a moment, then laughed softly: "You don't know? Very well."

He raised his hand, his fingers slightly spread, and an invisible suction force once again locked the Void Realm around the Heavenly Emperor of the Beginning.

"Then I shall search your soul and see for myself."

Wang Zhan, seeing this, stepped forward to intervene, his Heavenly Firmament Qi and blood surging forth, but with a casual wave of Heavenly King Chi Xiao's hand, he was sent flying backward, his life or death unknown!

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed over the Pure Land: "Let him go."

Heavenly King Chi Xiao paused and slowly turned his head, only to see a figure in white appearing at the edge of the Pure Land, though he had no idea when they had arrived.

Heavenly King Chi Xiao's pupils contracted imperceptibly; he hadn't even noticed when this person had appeared.

He slowly released the Heavenly Emperor of the Beginning, tossed him aside, turned around, and looked the newcomer in the eye.

Scanning Gu Changge, Heavenly King Chi Xiao slowly curled his lips into an amused smirk.

"Heavenly Monarch Realm Peak? Unexpected, to think that in this broken immortal domain, someone could actually break through to the Peak of the Heavenly Monarch Realm?"

He paused, his eyes suddenly becoming burning hot, his tone filled with irrepressible excitement: "Is it that seed? The seed is in your hands!"

He looked Gu Changge up and down, as if examining an unexpected harvest.

"Is such a supreme treasure of the heavens something you are qualified to possess?"

"Never mind, since you delivered yourself to my doorstep, it saves me the trouble of searching for you."

As he finished speaking, his Aura suddenly changed.

Boom!

A pressure far exceeding the Heavenly Monarch Realm erupted, causing the space of the entire Pure Land to tremble violently.

The immortal springs flowed backward, the mountains and rocks crumbled, and even the Void Realm began to show dense cracks.

The Heavenly Emperor of the Beginning and the will of the immortal domain were pressed so hard by that pressure they couldn't breathe, their faces deathly pale.

Heavenly King Chi Xiao took a step forward, the ground beneath his feet cracking inch by inch, the fissures spreading for tens of thousands of feet.

"Today, I will let you witness the power of the Heavenly King Realm!"

He raised his hand and struck with a palm.

Before the palm even landed, the entire immortal domain's Pure Land, and even the outside immortal domain, began to sway, as if they would collapse at any moment.

In an instant, throughout the immortal domain.

In the Myriad Spirits Heavenly Palace, Qilin King suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through the Void Realm towards the direction of the Pure Land, his expression changing drastically.

Inside the Taiyin Immortal Palace, Yue Liuli stopped her work, looking toward that direction with a solemn expression.

In front of the Myriad Immortals Sect gate, Jiemie's hand gripping his spear tightened slightly, his gaze like lightning, scanning the depths of the immortal domain; countless experts sensed that world-destroying fluctuation at the same moment.

However, just when everyone thought a catastrophe was about to descend, that fluctuation suddenly disappeared.

It vanished completely, as if it had never appeared.

In the Pure Land, the Heavenly Emperor of the Beginning and Wang Zhan stood frozen in place, with no one left before them.

Only a rift remaining in the Void Realm was slowly healing.

Deep within the Chaos, the Void Realm shattered with a roar, and two figures instantly clashed, the roar of their Dao colliding shaking the boundless turbulence.

"Unexpected, your Space Dao is so powerful that you could forcibly drag me into the Chaos!"

Heavenly King Chi Xiao sneered while attacking: "Are you afraid I would destroy that dilapidated place?"

Gu Changge did not answer, his dark red Battle Dao and pure white Dao Rhyme constantly clashing.

Every exchange stirred up ten-thousand-mile Chaos storms, with shattered spatial fragments splattering everywhere.

In the distance, the Black Robe struggled to stabilize his figure, forced back ten thousand miles by the shockwaves overflowing from the collision of the two experts, his heart churning with unbelievable horror.

He knew Heavenly King Chi Xiao's background too well; over ten million years ago, Heavenly King Chi Xiao had already reached the Peak of the Heavenly King Realm.

Over these years, he had followed the Venerable into seclusion and bitter cultivation, making his Foundation increasingly profound, only a step away from the Heavenly Venerable Realm—a terrifying existence at the Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Realm.

Within the Heavenly Realm, the chasm between Realms is like a natural moat.

In the Heavenly Monarch Realm, even a small Realm difference is like a different Heaven, the gap is immense.

Not to mention that Heavenly Monarch and Heavenly King are separated by a whole major tier; an ordinary Peak Heavenly Monarch wouldn't last a single Move before being defeated and falling before a Heavenly King.

Yet this person before him, only at the ninth layer of the Heavenly Monarch Realm, was actually able to tangle with Heavenly King Chi Xiao for so long without falling behind.

Fighting above one's Realm against a Half-Step Heavenly Venerable was a peerless genius rarely seen in billions of years across all the Heavens and Realms.

No, he had never even heard of such an existence!

The two fought fiercely for a long time, another earth-shattering collision exploding.

Boom!

Gu Changge's figure flew backward, sliding hundreds of thousands of feet through the Chaos, forcibly tearing through several layers of turbulent barriers before barely stabilizing his staggering figure.

He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his clothes torn in many places, his internal dao foundation trembling incessantly, his gaze looking toward the opposite side with extreme solemnity.

Opposite him, Heavenly King Chi Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, his dark red robes flapping, not a single scratch on his body, his expression relaxed and indifferent, as if the hundreds of Moves of slaughter just now were merely a leisurely stroll.

Yet deep in his eyes, he hid an unbelievable shock; a mere Peak Heavenly Monarch, yet his Physical Body, Dao Heart, and Move techniques were all outrageously powerful.

If it weren't for his own Half-Step Heavenly Venerable Foundation, he might truly have been stalled by this person today.

In normal times, Heavenly King Chi Xiao would certainly have tried every means to recruit him into his Dao field, but this concerned that seed.

Heavenly King Chi Xiao condensed a ball of intensely concentrated dark red light in his palm, interwoven with thousands of killing Dao patterns; the power fluctuation of this attack far exceeded the sum of all previous Moves.

The destructive force locked down all escape routes around Gu Changge, giving him no room to breathe.

Delay brings changes; he wanted to take this person down completely in one go.

Facing this attack, Gu Changge took a deep breath and sank his consciousness into the System panel.

Since his birth until now, he had never been this disheveled.

Back when he faced the Progenitor of the Black Abyss in the Heavenly Emperor Realm, he could shatter him with the power of his Physical Body, but the profoundness of Heavenly King Chi Xiao's background far exceeded his expectations.

Although he still had countless trump cards in his hand, any one of which could easily kill him, having been suppressed and beaten by Heavenly King Chi Xiao for so long had completely ignited his anger.

"System, how much cultivation is needed to upgrade to the Heavenly King Realm?"

"Ding, replying to Host, upgrading from the ninth layer of the Heavenly Monarch Realm to the first layer of the Heavenly King Realm requires consuming 5 million cultivation points."

"Each upgrade in the Heavenly King Realm requires consuming 3 million cultivation points. Upgrading from the ninth layer of the Heavenly Monarch Realm to the Peak of the Heavenly King Realm requires a total of 29 million cultivation points."

Gu Changge glanced at his accumulated cultivation points—over 40 million—it was enough!

He looked at Heavenly King Chi Xiao, his lips slowly curling into an arc: "System, max everything out for me. I mean all the cultivation, max it all out."

"Ding, confirming consumption of cultivation points, upgrading now..."

An unprecedented, massive power erupted from within his body.

Opposite him, Heavenly King Chi Xiao's expression suddenly changed drastically!
