On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

"Agh!!"

"How did you find me!" A startled cry escaped from the shadow, which sooner or later revealed itself as Qiu Xufeng.

With its two black eyes fixed on Chen Tian, it conveyed a sense of astonishment within its gaze.

"As if I would tell that information to you, you fool." Chen Tian retorted with a hint of sarcasm.

"YOU!!"

"Frustrating scoundrel, how did he discover my location?

This technique is a closely guarded secret art passed down within my family!" Qiu Xufeng muttered in disbelief.

"If he manages to track me down, I will simply enhance the power of the technique.

This time, I will pour all of my mastery of the darkness law into it.

The sooner I bring this battle to an end, the more advantageous it will be for me."

Qiu Xufeng thought inwardly.

"Hey! Bastard, are you just going to watch!" Qiu Xufeng angrily shouted at Zhong Wen.

"Tskk, fine!!" Zhong Wen reluctantly responded, rolling his eyes.

"Thundering Steel Qi!"

|SHRIIII|

Qi surged from Zhong Wen as he skillfully performed the technique, channeling it through his big greatsword.

The atmosphere crackled with electrifying energy as the fusion of his Qi and the formidable weapon's strength became one.

Each swing of his greatsword resonated with a thunderous boom that reverberated throughout the area.

Zhong Wen's body became a conduit for immense power as his Qi flowed through his limbs and into the blade.

The Great sword glowed with a vibrant aura, as formidable energy coursed through it.

|BOOM|

Chen Tian and Yin Yun, both startled by the booming sound, turned their attention to the source of the noise.

With unwavering determination reflected in his eyes, Zhong Wen advanced towards them. His strides were swift, propelling him closer to his opponents.

The ground quivered beneath him, the force of his powerful steps leaving behind minuscule cracks in the ground.

His greatsword was glowing with a vibrant aura and crackling with formidable energy.

"Hahaha!"

Zhong Wen initiated his attack, causing a sinister whirlwind of dark energy to envelop Qiu Xufeng's sword.

The swirling vortex exuded an intimidating presence, drawing upon Qiu Xufeng's deep understanding of the elemental law of darkness.

In a swift motion, Qiu Xufeng swung his sword, propelling the whirlwind towards Chen Tian and Yin Yun with a tremendous, unstoppable force.

"Damn it!" Chen Tian cursed.

Without hesitation, Yin Yun, realizing the hovering threat, responded swiftly.

In a display of agility, she leapt forward with remarkable speed, intercepting the oncoming attack just in the nick of time.

"Blazing Wing Guardian!"

Yin Yun's back sprouted two magnificent wings resembling those of a phoenix, ablaze with fiery hues.

Swiftly, the wings enveloped both her and Chen Tian, forming a protective barrier that shielded them from the dual onslaught.

|BOOOM|

The clash of darkness and fire created a dazzling display of light and heat.

It wasn't the end, as Zhong Wen's great sword came down with a thunderous force, aiming to cleave Yin Yun's defense in half.

|BANG|

The impact of the clash forced Zhong Wen to take a few steps back, conceding ground.

Even though the fiery wings that accompanied his attack had dissipated, it did not mean the end of Zhong Wen's offensive maneuver.

Chen Tian, far from being a mere spectator, sprang into action.

Brandishing his sword, it emanated a powerful sword aura as he swung it with all his strength towards Zhong Wen.

In response, Zhong Wen's colossal sword descended with immense force, targeting Yun's defenses, intending to shatter them this time.

|Clanggg|

The clash of their swords sent sparks flying, creating an electrifying atmosphere.

To Zhong Wen's astonishment, he found himself forcefully propelled backward by the sheer might of Chen Tian's swing.

"What!" Zhong Wen was taken aback by Chen Tian's unexpected strength and was unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Before Zhong Wen could gather his thoughts, Chen Tian swiftly closed the gap between them, launching a forceful kick.

The unexpected attack caught Zhong Wen off guard, causing him to stumble back in surprise.

Thanks to the Chaos God Body, Chen Tian's physical strength matched his cultivation level and was not inferior to it.

Deflecting the incoming attacks flawlessly, Chen Tian sought to bring the fight to a swift conclusion by defeating Zhong Wen.

However, just as he was prepared to raise his sword for a decisive strike, Chen Tian's face abruptly shifted to one of seriousness.

Halting his intended attack, he swiftly retreated, holding Yin Yun in his arms in a princess-like manner.

"Wha-What are you doing!" Yin Yun exclaimed in surprise and confusion.

Yin Yun gazed up at him, her eyes filled with astonishment, and her cheeks blushing with embarrassment.

It was the first time she had been in such close proximity to someone of the opposite gender.

Chen Tian's eyes gleamed with a narrowed, intense shade of blue, sensing the Qi amassing within the blocks beneath their feet.

To his astonishment, it wasn't just one block, but all the surrounding blocks that emanated a formidable Qi presence.

Each block measured approximately 30 meters, and Chen Tian could discern that about 10 of them were on the verge of turning red.

"Damn it! The first step of the Heavenly Lightning Steps won't provide me the means to escape!" Chen Tian cursed silently to himself.

The first step of the Heavenly Lightning Step technique could only cross a distance of 35 meters. Regrettably, this indicated that Chen Tian would be unable to evade the imminent risk approaching him.

"I have no other alternatives," Chen Tian contemplated inwardly. "Although it will deplete a significant amount of Qi, I must resort to using it."

Heavenly Lightning Steps!

Second Step!

|ZRIIIIII|

He was aware that using the second step would deplete a substantial portion of his Qi, yet it remained his sole opportunity for survival against the impending danger.

The second step differed significantly from the first step, demanding not only a higher level of mastery over the lightning law but also a great amount of Qi that only a Merdian Opening Realm cultivator could have.

Fortunately, Chen Tian was anything but ordinary.

As Chen Tian activated the Heavenly Lightning Steps, tendrils of thunder crackled and twirled around his body.

The sheer might of the thunder was breathtaking, but Chen Tian understood the need for caution.

He knew that each stride he took would consume an immense quantity of Qi, and thus he had to be mindful of his energy reserves.

"What do you think you're doing, you worthless trash!"With utter disdain, harsh words were flung at Chen Tian, accompanied by the sudden onslaught of two dark whirlwinds.

Seizing the opportunity, Qiu Xufeng wasted no time in taking action.

"Watch out!" Yin Yun exclaimed, urgently alerting Chen Tian to the imminent danger.

|Boom x2|

The blocks also turned red and burst apart, causing flames to erupt in a fiery explosion.

The intense heat spread in every direction, searing everything it touched.

"Hahaha!!" Seeing what happened, Qiu Xufeng laughed with sinister satisfaction.

"Now you understand your position and the consequences of challenging me!" Qiu Xufeng wore a smug smile as he observed the aftermath of the explosion.

|ZRII|

"Huh?"

|ZRIIII|

In an instant, a resounding noise reverberated, abruptly interrupting Qiu Xufeng's joyful expression.

The sound resembled the crackling and sizzling of electricity, resonating through the atmosphere.

Qiu Xufeng attempted to utter a word, but his voice was overpowered by the mighty surge of energy that engulfed the surroundings.

"Qiu Xufeng! Look behind you!" Zhong Wen exclaimed suddenly.

Qiu Xufeng noticed Zhong Wen rushing towards him, urgently gesturing in the direction behind him.

Reacting swiftly, he spun around and was confronted by a sight that sent shivers of fear down his spine.

A figure, enveloped in crackling electricity, stood with an imposing stature resembling a god of thunder.

In his arms, he held a stunning woman, while a chilling expression adorned his face.

The electricity seemed to radiate from his very being, giving rise to an aura of utmost terror.

Qiu Xufeng's heart raced as he realized the danger he was in.

|ZRII|

Qiu Xufeng's smirk faded as he realized the tables had turned.

"Time to stop this pointless fight," Chen Tian muttered quietly, his voice void of any emotion.

Eternal Celestial Sword Art!

First Style: Celestial Radiance Slash!

Chen Tian lifted his sword high overhead, and a radiant golden aura enveloped the blade. The crackling energy surged, infusing him with a formidable force.

With a commanding presence, he held the graceful woman firmly, his expression resolute and impassive.

The radiant golden sword seemed to radiate from within him, exuding a chilling aura that sent shivers down Qiu Xufeng's back.

Realizing the danger he was in, Qiu Xufeng's heart raced with fear.

His body underwent a transformation, gradually assuming a shadowy figure as darkness merged seamlessly with his body.

However, Chen Tian was determined not to let him escape this time.

"It may have worked before, but it won't succeed again," Chen Tian murmured.

|Woshhh|

As Chen Tian swung his sword with powerful force, the air around him seemed to ripple with energy.

The blade sliced through the air, leaving behind a trail of shimmering light. As it reached its peak, the sword came crashing down, aiming directly at Qiu Xufeng.

"AH!!!!!"

Unable to withstand the force this time, Qiu Xufeng was struck by Chen Tian's powerful blow.

The impact propelled him backward, causing him to crash into the ground with a resounding thud.

The darkness that had enveloped his body gradually faded away, unveiling a luminous slash on his stomach, caused by a deep sword cut.

Gradually, Qiu Xufeng began to fade away from the arena.
