Chapter 237 Retreat
Taoist Xianjin was well aware of how anxious the second best in the world was at the moment, and he had already passed the most difficult hurdle, and the rest would be fine as he would just recover slowly.

Moreover, with the magical item like Thunder Tribulation Liquid, his recovery time will definitely be greatly shortened.

After saying that, the three of them stood up again and headed towards the Heavenly Beast Forest, where the body of the second best in the world was.

……

The Sky Beast Forest covers a vast area and is full of huge trees. Each tree has lived for more than tens of thousands of years and is extremely thick.

Logically speaking, such ancient trees should have become spirits long ago, but, just like the burial ground and the Divine Medicine Mountain Range, no matter how long the trees have grown, it is difficult for them to become spirits. Moreover, even if some ancient trees have power, their consciousness is still muddleheaded, as if they lack a main soul!
This is a very strange phenomenon. This area seems to restrict the spiritual communication of living beings.

The creatures here are equally powerful, some of them are even at the supreme level.

But even at this level, their intelligence is generally low.

There is indeed a strange force in this world that restricts the living beings here.

However, the three of them didn't care too much about it, there was nothing worthy of attention.

They took a step forward and arrived deep into the Sky Beast Forest.

This is a sacred place, surrounded by lush vegetation, all the leaves are shining, very gorgeous, and full of energy.

In front, which is the center of this area, there is no grass or any plants.

However, this does not give people a sense of desolation. On the contrary, it makes people feel more and more holy and unstained by dust.

In the center ahead, there are some mountains, which are extremely huge and made of stone. They are all flowing with chaotic energy and accompanied by a little fairy light!

This is an unimaginably blessed place that breeds the spirit of immortality.

Above this rocky mountain, there is a huge creature, filled with fairy air, shrouding it and hanging in the air.

It was an ancient beast with a chain on its body that connected it to the stone mountain below. It was actually locked there!

Also, on the head of this ancient beast, running across both sides of the head, there is an immortal weapon that pierced its head. It carries an immortal aura and is very amazing.

Even after the immortal weapon was inserted into its head, it did not die and still had life!
On the stone mountain below, there is a stone tablet, and the chain that locked the ancient beast is tied to it. On the tablet are four characters left from the ancient immortal era: No. 2 in the world.

This is the true form of the No. 2 in the world, which looks like a pangolin and also like an ancient crocodile, but is much stronger, with thick and powerful limbs.

Of course, it can't be a pangolin, nor is it an ancient crocodile. There is a pair of real dragon horns on its head, and the head is extremely similar to that of a real dragon.

In addition, there is a pair of huge wings behind it, covering the sky and the sun, which are silver-white in color, and are also covered with countless scales, shining brightly.

This creature is truly terrifying. Its size is so huge that it exceeds all the huge stone mountains.

When its wings spread out, it was unconscious, stirring up chaos, hazy and terrifying, and emitting immortal light that made the void tremble!

This was an absolutely powerful creature, and just by hanging there, even unconsciously, it gave off a terrifying aura.

This was a divine dragon, who had once vied with the Ten Evil Real Dragons for the real name. However, he was defeated by the real dragons due to a single move and from then on he called himself the second best in the world.

In this world, the title of a true dragon has a unique fortune. Any living creature in the world can compete for the title of a true dragon as long as it follows the path of a true dragon.

As long as you get the real name, great fortune from heaven and earth will be bestowed upon you, and your cultivation will be helped by heaven.

Several epochs ago, two powerful dragons cultivated to the realm of Immortal King and fought a great battle in the vast starry sky.

At that time, the two dragons were both at the level of ordinary Immortal Kings, but the winner of that battle, that is, the Ten Evil True Dragons, after winning the battle for the true name, surpassed the top Immortal King and reached the level of a giant in a short period of time.

In the early days, the Second in the World was clearly on par with the True Dragon, but after that battle, he was left far behind, and the gap became larger and larger.

But even so, the second best in the world did not lose heart at all. Although he lost, his Tao heart remained firm, and in the years that followed, he also cultivated to the level of the supreme Immortal King.

Moreover, his combat power is very strong. At the end of the ancient times of immortality, he fought a great war with foreign lands. The second best person in the world fought against three immortal kings of foreign lands and delayed the opponent for a long time. In the end, he was outnumbered and was suppressed.

Even though he was defeated in the end, the supreme immortal king was hard to kill, and at the last moment, the second most powerful soul in the world escaped, leaving only a trace of soul in his body.

In this case, if its body is blown up, the second best in the world can be considered to have escaped.

After all, for an immortal king, reshaping the body is not a difficult task.

The aliens obviously also knew this, so they chose to seal his body with a formation and used his body to perform a horrifying method.

In this way, the second most escaped soul in the world will not be able to reassemble the body. If he returns to his body, he will be suppressed together. If he does not return, the escaped soul will become a wandering ghost.

“What a cruel method. Although I don’t remember much, it seems now that I was forced to enter the Virtual God Realm.” The Second in the World sighed.

His memory is now incomplete and he can't remember many things, but when he sees the methods that have been set up on his body, it is not difficult to imagine how helpless he was at the time.

"Okay, let's all go. Now that we are out of trouble, after we recover, I will accompany you to the foreign land and kill all those immortal kings who besieged us." said Taoist Xianjin.

When it comes to foreign lands, the two people who usually smile and laugh are now full of murderous intent.

It was really frustrating at the beginning. I was surrounded and attacked. I had incredible fighting power and few rivals at the same level, but in the end I was powerless to turn the situation around.

Feng Xi walked to the second body in the world and stretched out his hand to pull out the spear. Suddenly, the huge ancient beast opened its eyes and let out a loud and grand dragon roar.

Unlike Taoist Xianjin, there is still a trace of residual spirit in the body of No. 2 in the World that barely maintains his body. However, this trace of residual spirit is too weak and can only keep the body alive.

"Okay, fellow Taoist, go back to your seats." Feng Xi said.

A blazing divine rainbow flew over and went straight into the ancient beast's head. The second best in the world returned to his position!

Seeing this, Feng Xi took out the Immortal-Destroying Pool, and several drops of thunder liquid flew out of the pool and sank into the body of the ancient beast.

Suddenly, the body of the second best in the world began to wriggle, a terrifying aura burst out, and the hideous wound on his head recovered rapidly.

The entire Heavenly Beast Forest shook, and all living creatures prostrated themselves on the ground, worshiping the center of the Heavenly Beast Forest.

Since ancient times, the dragon has been the overlord of the ferocious beasts in the world. Although the second best in the world is not a real dragon, as a being that once competed with the real dragon for the real name, he is only weaker than the real dragon.

The aura of such an existence alone is enough to make all ferocious beasts feel their bloodlines suppressed.

"I finally realized the existence of my body." The Second Under Heaven stood up and transformed into a human form.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had this feeling.

At this moment, Feng Xi's eyes suddenly moved and he looked towards the direction of the burial ground.

Not only Feng Xi, but also the second best in the world and Taoist Xianjin felt it.

There, several powerful auras suddenly appeared and came towards this side.

This place is very close to the burial ground. When the Second in the World recovered, he burst out with powerful momentum. That is the power of the Immortal King level. The Burial King in the burial ground naturally noticed it and is now coming here.

In just a few breaths of time, several majestic and sacred figures arrived. They were obviously from the darkness, just like the foreign land, but the undertaker's appearance was extremely sacred.

When several Burial Kings arrived at the Heavenly Beast Forest, they immediately noticed the Second in the World and the Immortal Golden Taoist.

They knew both of them, after all, they were both prominent figures in the last era.

But when these burial kings saw Feng Xi, they were even more shocked.

Nowadays, there is almost no one in the universe who does not know Feng Xi. His supreme giants can be counted in the entire universe. It is said that at this step, he has almost embarked on the road to becoming an emperor.

Facing a strong person of this level, even the Immortal Kings dare not be careless, because they know very well that if a being of this level attacks them, they will have almost no chance of survival.

However, there is no conflict between Burial Land, Jiutian, or even the Immortal Realm, so there is no need to worry about Feng Xi taking action against them.

On the contrary, they were very curious about the existence of the Second Best in the World and the Immortal Golden Taoist.

Several Burial Kings looked at each other and saw curiosity in each other's eyes. First of all, the Second in the World and the Immortal Golden Taoist did die in the last era, but now for some unknown reason, the two are standing here well.

After a moment of contemplation, one of the Burial Kings said, "We just felt a strong aura because the Sea Realm Immortal King had invaded, so we came here to check it out. We never thought it was Fellow Daoist Feng Xi and the two of you."

"Greetings, fellow Taoists." Looking at the Burial Kings, Number Two Under Heaven and Taoist Xianjin greeted them.

They naturally knew these Burial Kings.

"I thought the two of them had already fallen, but it seems that was just a rumor!"

"Not really. My body has been suppressed here for so long, and you have all seen it."

"Then... congratulations on escaping from this predicament."

……

Fairyland.

After rescuing the Second Best in the World and Taoist Immortal Jin, Feng Xi naturally came back. As for the other two, they stayed in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and sat in charge of the Nine Heavens with the Stone King, the Immortal King Biluo and others.

Now that the two of them have the Thunder Tribulation Liquid on their bodies, it won’t take long for them to recover to their peak states. After they have fully recovered, Jiutian will have five top-notch Immortal King-level warriors.

With such combat power, even if a giant breaks into the Nine Heavens, he will probably be restrained.

The Original Star Domain has been watching Jiutian all the time. When Jiutian can’t hold on any longer, the Immortal King of the Original Star Domain will take action.

Such an arrangement almost cuts off the possibility that Jiu Tian will be defeated.

After doing all this, Feng Xi began to retreat. Now he has already achieved the realm of a quasi-immortal emperor, and his realm has reached the peak of the Immortal King. He is only one step away from the last step.

If others want to break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, the first thing they need to do is to master the Taoism of that realm, just like Shi Hao. The Immortal King has a god above his head, and when the god and the body are combined, they can become a Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

This is the great road, and only by pioneering at that step can we break through.

This step is very difficult. People like the funeral king, butchers, chicken farmers, and fake medicine sellers are almost all stuck at this step.

Each of them has his own path. The one they hate the most is the one who sells fake medicine. This man directly dismembered his body into six parts, and then spread it throughout the heavens, looking for those paths with potential.

Becoming a quasi-immortal emperor is really too difficult for others, but for Feng Xi, this step is very simple, so simple that he can break through as long as he follows the steps.

Inside the Heavenly Palace, in the hall where Feng Xi was, those resources that were extremely luxurious for the Immortal King were simply placed there.

The situation is getting worse and worse now. The Immortal King is very strong. With the help of the kings of the Immortal Realm, he is confident that he can defend the Immortal Realm.

But these are only temporary. As the unrest continues, this great reckoning will become more and more terrifying.

The creatures in the heavens are like pigs in a pigsty. They are harvested a little every two epochs and cleared out every three epochs, leaving only a few creatures as seeds.

This time, it will be a great reckoning that will leave only the seeds. By then, countless immortal kings will climb up the embankment and kill towards the heavens here.

At that time, even Feng Xi could not hold on, so he could not wait any longer. Only by breaking through the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm would he have the strength to suppress everything.

From that day on, Feng Xi began to retreat. As massive amounts of resources disappeared, his realm continued to advance.

Although the peak of Immortal King is only one step away from Quasi-Immortal Emperor, in fact this step is extremely far away. It is not an exaggeration to say that the distance from the human realm to the peak of Immortal King is not as far as the distance from the peak of Immortal King to Quasi-Immortal Emperor.

Fortunately, he already possesses the realm of a quasi-immortal emperor and does not have any bottlenecks at all, so his strength is actually getting stronger day by day.

The rapid improvement in strength also made Feng Xi's sense of urgency slowly disappear. Now with his strength, no matter how many Immortal Kings come, they cannot defeat him.

If he had no worries, then in fact he would not have to worry about the so-called catastrophe.

After all, in the great reckoning, only the Immortal Kings will come out to reap the rewards, and those quasi-Immortal Emperors will not attack ants.

But people cannot be immune to it. As long as they are in this world and as long as they still have emotions, they will not be truly free from worries.

It would be fine if he didn't have the strength. When he had the strength, he would naturally not watch darkness poison the world.

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world!
This is Feng Xi’s principle in doing things. First of all, he ensures his own safety. If he has enough ability, he doesn’t mind becoming a wall in the way forward for all living beings.

Moreover, if the heavens were really cleansed, what would happen to his faith value?

This won’t do. This is related to his own career, he must fight hard.

On this day, the fairyland came under attack, and an alliance of nearly twenty fairy kings began to attack the border of the fairyland.

The fairyland was shaken, and the kings came out of seclusion and began to resist the power of the Fairy King.

Among them, naturally several Immortal Kings from the primitive ancient world were also dispatched to fight with the Immortal Kings who broke into the Immortal Realm.

The entire starry sky sank, and the universe ruled by an immortal king became a battlefield.

In this battle, Qi Yu showed his power. As a veteran giant and one of the strongest people under the supreme giant, his combat power was stronger than many giants.

But even so, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent's nearly twenty Immortal Kings in a short time.

Fortunately, the fairyland has an amazing foundation. In addition to Qi Yu, there are also giants such as Meng Zheng and Mo Zhu.

This battle lasted for several years, and the group of Immortal Kings finally withdrew because they could not win the battle after a long time. Moreover, this was the main battlefield of the Immortal Realm, so the larger the group, the more support they would get. There was no need to waste time here.

After the war, the creatures in the fairyland were not happy, because in recent years, the fairyland had been hit more and more frequently.

Although the group of Immortal Kings retreated this time, they will not give up. As long as there are other forces attacking the Immortal Realm, they will follow suit.

In this situation, Qi Yu couldn't sit still and came to the original star field.
