Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

’It really is an Origin Divine Fire! If this becomes fully Yang-aspected, it might be even more terrifying than the Greater Yang Divine Fire.’

Yang Xiao gazed at the Seven-Colored Divine Fire before him, feeling deeply satisfied.

With a wave of his hand,

he absorbed the cluster of Seven-Colored Divine Fire into his body.

However, now

was not the time to absorb the Supreme Yang Divine Fire to evolve. He first needed to condense his Heavenly Venerable Divine Aspect.

’First step: cultivate the Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques of the Nine Yang Celestial Skill. Then, completely transform my twenty Divine Pills, fuse them, and forge the Great Sun Divine Aspect!’

Much like the seventy-two Small Divine Techniques Yang Xiao had previously cultivated, the Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques of the Nine Yang Celestial Skill could form perfect vessels to contain power.

The Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques, however, were far more profound and could shift into various forms.

Among them, the most fundamental form was the Great Sun Divine Aspect.

It was also the favored form for cultivators of this Cultivation Technique.

This was because, according to later records in the technique,

the Great Sun form was the foundational state for one of the Nine Yang Celestial Skill’s two Supreme Divine Techniques—the World-Destroying Divine Wheel.

Yang Xiao possessed ten types of Yang Power. Given the opportunity, he could undoubtedly recreate the might of the World-Destroying Divine Wheel, and he had no intention of giving up this advantage.

Moreover, the greatest secret of Yang Xiao’s Divine Aspect lay in using a Heavenly Venerable as its external form and then integrating the Great Sun Divine Aspect as nodes within it.

And so,

Yang Xiao’s first step

was to cultivate the Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques.

With the Desolate Divine Fruit,

coupled with the numerous Pseudo-Divine-Demonic Steles and the Heavenly Venerable Divine Soul in his mind,

Yang Xiao was confident.

It would not be long

before he succeeded. At that point, he could leverage the three Supreme Yang Divine Fires in his body to ascend all the way to the Peak of the Sixth Revolution of the Cyan Flame Realm.

In fact,

he had also thought of an excellent way to handle the power of the flames outside.

He would absorb them all before his fifth Talent Power manifested.

’Perhaps my fifth Talent Power will also become incredibly terrifying.’

The might of his Cold Flame.

Yang Xiao had already tested it.

With this single Talent Power, he could confront beings six or seven tiers above him without falling behind.

It was an absolutely terrifying talent.

And the reason he had obtained such a fearsome talent, besides the six Supreme Yin Flames, was the Ice Soul Profound Pearl he had taken from Han Xuanming.

That Origin Bead of Supreme Yin and Cold

was what had granted Yang Xiao this Talent Power.

This Flame Essence before him was impressive, almost on par with the Small World Origin left behind by a Great Emperor. However, Yang Xiao felt that using it to awaken his fifth Talent Power would be far more beneficial than using it to raise his own cultivation.

Having made his decision,

Yang Xiao began to cultivate.

First, he merged the thousands of Pseudo-Divine-Demonic Steles in his Sea of Consciousness with his Heavenly Venerable Divine Soul, continuously elevating his Divine Soul’s quality.

Second, he used Divine Split to comprehend the Thirty-six Great Divine Techniques,

aiming to successfully condense twenty-one Divine Aspects.

Twenty of these would be the foundational Great Sun Divine Aspects,

and one would be the Heavenly Venerable Divine Aspect.

This was an incredibly draining and time-consuming endeavor for anyone.

Yet Yang Xiao

had to accomplish it all within half a year.

Time was of the essence.

There was not a moment to waste.

As Yang Xiao was enhancing his Divine Soul and cultivating his Divine Techniques,

several days had already passed in the outside world.

After waiting for so long,

Celestial Evil and his men

were growing impatient.

”Boss Celestial Evil, what now? Are we just going to keep waiting like this?”

Fire Evil, the most short-tempered and impatient of the group, was the first to cry out.

The other Evils were of a similar mind.

Even Water Evil, the most sullen of them all, was now looking at Celestial Evil with a sense of urgency.

After all, the environment here

was difficult to endure, even for experts at the Divine Venerable Level like them.

Only Earth Evil

appeared relatively calm.

But at this moment, he too remained silent.

”We wait.”

Faced with his subordinates’ impatience,

Celestial Evil fell silent for a moment.

He uttered only those two words.

Then he closed his eyes once more.

Seeing his demeanor,

the other Evils had no choice but to continue cultivating as before.

Just like that,

time trickled by. In the blink of an eye,

another ten days and nights had passed.

This time,

the Six Evils had learned their lesson.

They did not ask again.

Instead, like Celestial Evil, they seemed to truly dedicate themselves to cultivating.

Once they settled their minds,

they actually made some progress in their cultivation.

Although they were still far from reaching the level where they could all enter the Divine King Realm simultaneously for a perfect fusion, each of their cultivation levels—especially Fire Evil’s—had seen a slight increase.

This was clearly

a sign of improvement in their temperament.

But just as the Six Evils were thinking that it might not be so bad to continue cultivating like this,

a Jade Talisman on Celestial Evil’s body suddenly began to tremble.

Instantly, Celestial Evil’s brows

knitted together.

He opened his eyes.

”Boss Celestial Evil, what’s wrong? Is it a message from the Young Master?”

The moment he opened his eyes, the other Six Evils were forced to withdraw from their cultivation.

They all looked over.

The one closest to him was Earth Evil.

He immediately spotted the Communication Jade Talisman at Celestial Evil’s waist, which was now flashing.

He couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.

Celestial Evil nodded and tapped it lightly with his finger.

Instantly, a figure materialized from the Jade Talisman.

Dressed in a lavish, pale purple robe, with a handsome yet sinister face—who else could it be but the Star Emperor’s third legitimate son, Nangong Xinghui?

”Greetings, Young Master!”

Celestial Evil and the others immediately bowed in respect.

Seeing that they were all unharmed, Nangong Xinghui’s brow furrowed. ”Why haven’t you acted yet?” he asked faintly.

A full twenty days had passed since he had left the Star God Continent.

For every day Yang Xiao remained alive,

Nangong Xinghui felt a day of unease, even anxiety.

Now, twenty entire days had gone by,

and these fools still hadn’t made a move.

Nangong Xinghui couldn’t help but feel irritated.

Although he had previously told them not to act recklessly,

it had been twenty days.

Nangong Xinghui had clearly lost his patience.

And the Seven Evils, having followed him for so many years, knew from one look at his expression that their Young Master was done waiting.

Their expressions immediately turned grim.

This was especially true for Celestial Evil.

As the one responsible for this operation, the pressure on him was immense.

Still, he stepped forward and explained, ”Young Master, the target entered the Forbidden Fire Domain and has not emerged for over ten days. It seems he may have received the Flame Domain Divine King’s inheritance. If we were to enter rashly, I’m afraid...”

”The Forbidden Fire Domain? The Flame Domain Divine King?”

Nangong Xinghui was taken aback for a moment.

But then, he seemed to remember something.

The cold glint in his eyes grew even deeper.

He was already roaring with fury in his mind.

’That damn bastard! Not only did he earn Father’s esteem and get gifted an Emperor’s Weapon, but now he’s even won the favor of the Flame Domain Divine King? Dammit! If he’s allowed to keep growing, he’ll become a massive threat to me sooner or later. No, I have to kill him! I must kill him as soon as possible!’

As he roared inwardly,

Nangong Xinghui’s expression grew ever more sullen.

Seeing this, the Seven Evils all bowed their heads,

clearly wanting to avoid setting him off.

But at that moment,

a glint flashed in Nangong Xinghui’s eyes.

He had made a bold decision.

”All of you, stay put. This Young Master will personally go and kill that boy!”

His cold voice

instantly caused the hearts of everyone present

to tremble with shock.

Their expressions froze in utter disbelief.
