Chapter 4522: Versus the Heavenly Proud

"Supreme Profound Jade Ganoderma Elixir!"

Wang Changsheng's heart stirred. He already possessed the Ten-Direction Immortal Dew and the Qiankun Creation Elixir. If he could obtain another Supreme Profound Jade Ganoderma Elixir, his chances of advancing to Grand Luo Golden Immortal in the future would be significantly higher.

The Grand Dharma Assembly was hosted in rotation by the major powers of the Barren Immortal Realm. This arrangement ensured both safety and substantial rewards, as smaller factions simply couldn't offer valuable prizes to top performers.

The Grand Dharma Assembly was not only a grand event for exchanging cultivation insights but also an opportunity for Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

The ancestors or founding masters of major powers like the He Immortal Clan, Li Immortal Clan, and Big Dipper Pavilion had all participated in the Grand Dharma Assembly. Those who performed exceptionally well received significant cultivation resources. Just as others had helped them in the past, they now wished to help others.

Other immortal realms also hosted similar grand assemblies, but their organizers could not offer rewards like the Supreme Profound Jade Ganoderma Elixir to high-ranking Grand Unity Golden Immortals, as they lacked the necessary power.

"The tenth-place prize is a body-refining immortal elixir infused with an eight-color crystal core. The higher the ranking, the more generous the reward," Li Longjiang's voice proclaimed. His voice, though not loud, resonated throughout the entire market city.

This time, the Li family offered many immortal elixirs, with the Supreme Profound Jade Ganoderma Elixir being the most valuable.

"Our Li family will also send representatives to participate," Li Longjiang stated. "The contests are meant to be sparring matches, but swords and blades have no eyes. Participants engage at their own risk, bearing full responsibility for their lives."

"Heh heh, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. I'll be the first to challenge the Myriad Chaos Tower," Heavenly Thunder Divine Lord chuckled, flying into the tower. As soon as he entered, a seven-colored Chaos Beast in humanoid form appeared, wielding a black bludgeon, and lunged at Heavenly Thunder Divine Lord.

The cultivators could clearly witness Heavenly Thunder Divine Lord's encounter with the seven-colored Chaos Beast. The process was fair and just; only those who could defeat a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage seven-colored Chaos Beast would qualify to participate.

"I'll give it a try too!" Heavenly Ape Immortal Venerable declared, flying towards the Myriad Chaos Tower. He appeared on the second floor, where his opponent was also a humanoid seven-colored Chaos Beast, wielding a long black staff.

The seven-colored Chaos Beast swung its black staff at Heavenly Ape Immortal Venerable, simultaneously activating the Law of Fire to attack him. Heavenly Ape Immortal Venerable showed no fear, reverting to his true form as a sky-reaching giant ape, armed with a massive yellow axe, and charged forward.

Many Grand Unity Golden Immortals, including the Three Immortal Worms, Li Qingxing, and Li Qingyue, entered the Myriad Chaos Tower to attempt the challenges. They engaged in combat with Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage seven-colored Chaos Beasts. Participants could challenge individually or in groups; for group challenges, more seven-colored Chaos Beasts would be conjured.

After observing for a while, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan also flew into the Myriad Chaos Tower to confront Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage seven-colored Chaos Beasts.

The moment Wang Changsheng entered the Myriad Chaos Tower, a Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage seven-colored Chaos Beast wielding a long black saber appeared and swung its blade at him. A blue light flashed from his boots, and he shifted, evading the Chaos Beast's attack. Appearing behind it, he unleashed a punch that struck the Chaos Beast's head, causing it to explode and dissipate into specks of spiritual light.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Ye Haitang easily defeated the seven-colored Chaos Beasts and qualified to participate. Wang Qiulin did not enter.

In less than half an hour, 155 Grand Unity Golden Immortals had defeated the Grand Unity Golden Immortal-stage seven-colored Chaos Beasts and secured their qualifications. They then drew lots for the matches, engaging in one-on-one duels, with the winners advancing to the next round.

Wang Changsheng drew lot number ten. His opponent was a portly old man in a golden robe, who possessed a set of high-grade immortal artifacts and had used them to defeat the seven-colored Chaos Beast.

As the match began, the golden-robed old man flicked his sleeve, and five shimmering golden flying daggers shot out, aiming to strike Wang Changsheng. He chanted an incantation, and surging flames erupted from the ground, rapidly increasing the temperature. One after another, gigantic fireballs appeared in the void behind him, streaking through the air like falling meteors directly towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng clapped his right hand towards the void, and a white halo swept out to meet the incoming attacks. The five golden flying daggers simultaneously glowed with dazzling golden light and vanished from their positions. As the white halo made contact with the gigantic fireballs and raging flames, they rapidly dissipated.

"Perfected Law!" The golden-robed old man frowned. Both were late-stage Grand Unity Golden Immortals, but he had only achieved Great Accomplishment in his law. Fortunately, he possessed a set of high-grade immortal artifacts.

Above Wang Changsheng's head, five golden lights appeared in the void, revealing the five golden flying daggers. The five golden flying daggers merged into a single golden greatblade, ten feet long, and slashed towards Wang Changsheng. Even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal who had cultivated an immortal body would not dare to directly withstand a complete set of high-grade immortal artifacts.

Wang Changsheng extended his right hand and grabbed towards the void. A powerful restraining force instantly manifested, binding the golden greatblade immovably in the air.

"Law of Imprisonment!" the golden-robed old man exclaimed in surprise; he too was restrained by the Law of Imprisonment. Golden light flared around his body as he attempted to break free, but it was futile.

The white halo swiftly swept over the golden-robed old man's body, transforming him into an ice sculpture.

"Wang Changsheng wins," the referee announced.

Wang Changsheng performed an incantation, and the restraining force vanished. Flames erupted from the ice sculpture, melting the ice, and the golden-robed old man's face was slightly pale. He sighed, cupped his hands in a salute, and put away his immortal artifacts.

At this time, Wang Ruyan also defeated her opponent with the Heavenly Sound Flute, and Ye Haitang unleashed her five ghosts, also triumphing over her adversary.

The first round of matches concluded, with 78 Grand Unity Golden Immortals advancing to the second round. They continued to draw lots, and Wang Changsheng drew number thirteen. This time, his opponent was Heavenly Thunder Divine Lord.

All participants competed within the Myriad Chaos Tower, which was a high-grade immortal artifact with its own spatial dimension, allowing them to fight without restraint.

"I didn't expect to meet Fellow Daoist Wang so soon!" Heavenly Thunder Divine Lord's expression was solemn. He already knew that Wang Changsheng had cultivated an immortal body and had perfected his law. Heavenly Thunder Divine Lord also had a perfected law and an immortal body; he was at the Grand Completion stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation, while Wang Changsheng was only at the late stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

He performed an incantation, and a deafening thunderclap resounded from high above. Enormously thick silver lightning spears descended, striking directly towards Wang Changsheng. Among the many special laws, the Law of Thunder possessed considerable power.

Wang Changsheng drew a circle in the void with his hands, and a massive Taiji diagram instantly appeared, blocking in front of him. Dense silver lightning pillars struck the Taiji diagram one after another. The Taiji diagram rotated rapidly, and the silver lightning pillars dissipated completely as if made of paper.

"Law of Yin-Yang!" Heavenly Thunder Divine Lord frowned deeply. Yin and Yang transform into the Five Elements, and the Five Elements give birth to all things. The Law of Yin-Yang is the essence of the world. Even with perfected laws, the Law of Thunder truly couldn't overcome the Law of Yin-Yang.

Heavenly Thunder Divine Lord summoned a golden gourd and infused it with an incantation. The golden gourd immediately emitted a blinding golden light, unleashing an immensely thick golden lightning bolt that shot straight towards Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng threw a punch, and a golden giant fist flashed forth, colliding with the golden lightning. The golden lightning dissipated, and the golden giant fist instantly appeared before Heavenly Thunder Divine Lord.
