Chapter 4590: The Power of One Punch

Wang Qingshan was engaged in combat with a burly demon in a vast, boundless azure forest.

The demon wielded the Law of Devour. In his hand was a long saber, continuously swirling with black light. With each swing, sharp black saber gleams swept out, striking towards Wang Qingshan.

Wang Qingshan formed a sword seal, and seven flying swords, shimmering with immortal light, shot straight out to meet the attack. The sky and earth collapsed, the void froze, and the dense black saber gleams completely disintegrated.

The demon's expression changed, and he hastily activated the black saber in his hand, sending it to counter.

The black saber collided with the seven flying swords and instantly shattered, like an egg striking a rock.

The seven flying swords, still swirling with immortal light, reached the demon. The demon opened his mouth and spat out a stream of black mist, which enveloped the seven flying swords, drew them into his mouth, and swallowed them.

"The Law of Devour!" Wang Qingshan sneered. He formed a sword seal, and the demon's body was torn into pieces as the seven flying swords shot out.

An ordinary Sword Cultivator at the Taiyi Golden Immortal stage might have been defeated by this demon's technique, but Wang Qingshan was no ordinary Sword Cultivator.

"If the cultivators outside are this strong," Wang Qingshan muttered to himself, "wouldn't those Heavenly Proud Supremes be monstrous?"

According to Wang Changsheng's introduction, one needed to defeat ten enemies of the same cultivation level to qualify to face a Heavenly Proud Supreme of the same level.

He felt the surroundings blur, and he found himself in a boundless volcanic cluster where the temperature was frighteningly high.

Wang Qingshan let out a cold snort and formed a sword seal. The seven flying swords dispersed, multiplying from seven to ten, then to a hundred, then to ten thousand. A dense swarm of flying swords shot towards the volcanic cluster, filling the sky with sword shadows and creating a tremendous momentum.

In a sprawling white mountain range, Wang Qingfeng stood high in the sky. The Sun-Moon Banner floated above his head, and not far away, a golden-robed elder lay on the ground with a bloodied hole in his head.

Wang Changsheng had repaired the Sun-Moon Banner and given it to Wang Qingfeng for protection.

With this treasure in hand, Wang Qingfeng's strength greatly increased.

Outside the Qiankun Pagoda, over a dozen Grand Unity Golden Immortals, including Wang Changsheng, Master Qingyi, Immortal Lord Taibai, Liu Qian, and Mu Yan, gathered together. They would also attempt the challenge, but not immediately.

The Qiankun Pagoda emitted a dazzling spiritual light, and a pot-bellied golden-robed elder flew out from it. His right arm was gone, his aura was weak, indicating he had failed the challenge.

"Trying to pass the challenge at the early Taiyi Golden Immortal stage is just asking for death," Liu Qian sneered, casting a seemingly casual glance at Wang Changsheng.

Among the Grand Unity Golden Immortals present, Wang Changsheng and Master Qingyi had the lowest cultivation, only at the early stage. Most Grand Unity Golden Immortals were at the middle stage, while Immortal Lord Taibai had the highest cultivation, at the late Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage.

"It's not as if high cultivation guarantees defeating Heavenly Proud Supremes of the same level," Wang Changsheng scoffed. "If you think you're capable, then go take the challenge."

"Fellow Daoist Yang, you arrived first," Mu Yan said. "By now, your Myriad Beast Palace disciples should have defeated the ten cultivators of the same level outside, right?"

"Probably so!" Immortal Lord Myriad Beast said. "Now it just depends on which Heavenly Proud Supreme they want to challenge."

The higher the ranking of a Heavenly Proud Supreme, the stronger their power and the greater the rewards for defeating them. The choice depends on the challenger's character and strength; some are arrogant, while others are mature and steady.

"Naturally, there's no need to challenge a Heavenly Proud Supreme if one lacks the strength. Not everyone has that capability," a strong, resonant male voice sounded.

No sooner had the words fallen than ripples spread across the void above Wang Changsheng and the others. A huge void aperture appeared, and a golden-glowing flying boat emerged from it, carrying Nangong Dezhi and tens of thousands of other immortals.

Wang Changsheng's gaze swept over them, but he didn't see Nangong Yunxin. He found it strange that Nangong Yunxin hadn't come; had he gone out to train?

Wang Qiulin, Wang Xinghai, Wang Dingyang, and others were out training and had not yet returned.

"Fellow Daoist Nangong, you've arrived," Wang Changsheng greeted them.

Nangong Dezhi nodded. He had used the Law of Space to travel, making his speed faster by directly traversing through space.

"You may proceed with the challenge!" Nangong Dezhi instructed.

"Yes, Ancestor (Senior Nangong)," Nangong Yunyue and the others replied, flying towards the Qiankun Pagoda.

"Three Dao artifacts have appeared! Haha, our opportunity has arrived!" a loud female voice rang out.

No sooner had the words fallen than a golden light and a gray light streaked across the sky. They flashed and stopped, revealing a woman in a golden dress and a woman in a silver dress. Their facial features were identical, their aura was vast as the ocean, and both were at the middle stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal cultivation.

"Madam Xu, are you also in Kunlun Immortal City's territory? Why didn't you say hello?" Immortal Lord Myriad Beast said.

Judging by his words, he knew these two Grand Unity Golden Immortals.

"My sister and I originally came to find you," the woman in the golden dress explained, "but when we heard that three Dao artifacts had appeared, we came here."

"Fellow Daoist Wang," Nangong Dezhi transmitted his voice, "they are the Qiankun Twin Ladies. They are very close to Immortal Lord Myriad Beast. They cultivate a combined attack technique, and their divine abilities are extraordinary."

"Qiankun Twin Ladies! Combined attack technique!" Wang Changsheng's expression became solemn.

He had seen many immortals who mastered combined attack techniques, the highest cultivation among them being only Taiyi Golden Immortal, such as the three Ximen Zhi brothers and the seven Nangong Changlong. This was his first time seeing Grand Unity Golden Immortals who mastered combined attack techniques.

Under the Kunlun Dao Ancestor, there were Grand Unity Golden Immortals who cultivated combined attack techniques, but several had died and had not yet been revived.

"Are you fellow Daoists not going in for the challenge? We'll go first," the woman in the golden dress said, then flew into the Qiankun Pagoda with the woman in the silver dress.

"This old man also wants to see how powerful the Heavenly Proud Supremes at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage are," Immortal Lord Taibai said, then flew into the Qiankun Pagoda.

"I'm going in too, Junior Sister Liu," Immortal Lord Myriad Beast advised, "Wait for me to complete the challenge before you go in." He then flew into the Qiankun Pagoda.

Inside the Qiankun Pagoda, in a spacious and brightly lit hall, a tall, golden-robed young man gazed at the fifty statues before him, his brows furrowed.

Judging by his attire, he was clearly a disciple of the Myriad Beast Palace.

"The Green Lotus Immortal Couple! They defeated a Supreme at the True Immortal stage!" the golden-robed young man exclaimed in surprise, his gaze falling upon two statues.

"Do you want to challenge them?" a male voice sounded.

"I will challenge Immortal Lord Taihao!" the golden-robed young man said, his face filled with confidence.

Immortal Lord Taihao was the Wang family's old ancestor, and this statue could at most exhibit the strength of the True Immortal stage. As a core disciple of the Myriad Beast Palace, he naturally had no fear.

If he could defeat Immortal Lord Taihao, it would be a great honor.

"You chose him yourself, so as you wish!" the male voice said.

No sooner had the words fallen than the statue of Immortal Lord Taihao came to life.

Blue light burst forth from his body. He threw a punch, and a giant blue fist flashed out, flying straight towards the golden-robed young man and instantly appearing before him.

The golden-robed young man showed no fear. Golden light burst forth from his right fist as he threw a punch, and a giant golden fist flashed out to meet the attack.

The two fists collided, and the golden giant fist instantly disintegrated. The blue giant fist easily pierced through the golden-robed young man's protective immortal light, blasting him into a mist of blood. Fortunately, his Nascent Soul escaped.

Protected by the Qiankun Pagoda, his Nascent Soul was able to survive; otherwise, he would have died.
