Chapter 4695

Tianlong Immortal Monarch released a golden halo from his right hand to meet the incoming attack. The eighteen Dinghai Pearls successively smashed against the golden halo, shattering it like paper.

Golden light erupted from Tianlong Immortal Monarch's body as he retreated, activating the Law of Time to accelerate his movement.

Wang Changsheng appeared in a flash before Tianlong Immortal Monarch, performing the Daoshu: Heaven-Treading Step.

Tianlong Immortal Monarch let out a deafening roar, unleashing a sound wave that caused numerous cracks to appear in the void. This was the Rong Qiao Jue.

The sound wave instantly reached Wang Changsheng. Golden light erupted from his body, and six additional arms grew from his back, manifesting the Daoshu: Eight-Armed Vajra.

He summoned the Heavenly Dragon Gauntlets, fitting them onto his eight fists, which then moved to meet the attack.

Wang Changsheng shattered the sound wave. Golden light burst from Tianlong Immortal Monarch's body, which now appeared to be plated with a layer of golden film.

Daoshu: Iron Bones and Steel Sinews!

Tianlong Immortal Monarch swung his fists to meet the attack.

The four fists collided, unleashing a powerful shockwave that rent the void, creating countless cracks.

Tianlong Immortal Monarch's body was sent flying backward, landing heavily on the ground as he spat out a mouthful of vital blood. The Soul Annihilation Gourd appeared, unleashing a stream of green mist that enveloped Tianlong Immortal Monarch.

A golden halo manifested around Tianlong Immortal Monarch's body, shielding him.

The green mist clashed with the golden halo, causing a puff of green smoke to rise from the latter. Innumerable green arrows flew out from the Soul Annihilation Gourd, striking the golden halo one after another, creating numerous cracks on its surface until it shattered.

Hundreds of green arrows successively struck Tianlong Immortal Monarch's body, causing green smoke to rise and fine cracks to appear on the surface of his golden film.

As the void rippled, a golden dragon claw materialized and struck towards the Soul Annihilation Gourd. The gourd, glowing with green light, vanished from its position, narrowly avoiding the attack.

Wang Changsheng instantly appeared before Tianlong Immortal Monarch, unleashing a flurry of punches with his eight fists upon his body.

After a series of muffled thuds, the cracks on the golden film grew, and it soon shattered. Tianlong Immortal Monarch's head was then smashed to pieces by Wang Changsheng's punch, dissipating into specks of spiritual light.

The defense provided by the Daoshu: Iron Bones and Steel Sinews was formidable. Even with his Daoshu: Eight-Armed Vajra and the enhancement from the Heavenly Dragon Gauntlets, Wang Changsheng struggled to pierce it. It was only thanks to the Soul Annihilation Gourd, which significantly weakened its defense, that Wang Changsheng was able to overcome it so swiftly and secure victory.

"Excellent, someone has finally managed to defeat him."

A man's voice, full of praise, resonated.

As soon as the words ceased, Qianxiao appeared, a look of approval on his face.

"Surely I don't have to face a Dao Ancestor as well!" Wang Changsheng inquired.

"No, that won't be necessary! As a reward for defeating the foremost Grand Luo Golden Immortal supreme expert, you may choose two items. I hope this helps you ascend to the rank of Dao Ancestor."

Qianxiao flicked his sleeve, and a golden mist swept forth, revealing fifty items suspended in mid-air. Among them were the Enlightenment Jade Sandalwood Fruit and the Two-Pole Dao Origin Fruit.

Wang Changsheng had previously acquired a Two-Pole Dao Origin Fruit tree at the Dao Ancestor Slayer's cultivation ground, but its fruits were still unripe.

Besides immortal fruits, there were also immortal pills, fifth-tier artifact refining materials, fifth-tier immortal talismans, and fifth-tier immortal pills.

Numerous Dao Ancestors had emerged in the Immortal Realm, alongside masters of various fifth-tier professions, including immortal alchemists, immortal talisman masters, immortal formation masters, and immortal wine masters.

Wang Changsheng selected two items: a Ten Directions Immortal Armor Talisman and an Enlightenment Pill. The Ten Directions Immortal Armor Talisman was a defensive fifth-tier immortal talisman, while the Enlightenment Pill was a fifth-tier immortal pill designed to assist Grand Luo Golden Immortals in their breakthrough to Dao Ancestor.

After making his selection, Wang Changsheng was transported out of the Qiankun Pagoda, reappearing beside Wang Qingling.

"How was it?" Wang Changsheng sent a voice transmission to Wang Qingling.

"Most of them have emerged," Wang Qingling replied.

Most of Wang Qingshan and the others had completed their challenges, with the majority of clan members achieving favorable rankings. Wang Qingshan, Wang Qingxiao, Wang Yingjie, Wang Mengbin, Wang Yidao, and others had each defeated a supreme expert.

Wang Changsheng nodded. At that moment, numerous immortals arrived from various locations. Wang Changsheng and Wang Qingling did not hinder them, allowing them to enter the Qiankun Pagoda to undergo the trials.

After about ten minutes, Wang Ruyan emerged from the Qiankun Pagoda, her face slightly pale, indicating a significant depletion of her immortal essence.

Lacking a treasure like the Soul Annihilation Gourd, her battle against Tianlong Immortal Monarch was not as straightforward. Fortunately, she possessed the Azure Lotus Guqin, Heavenly Dragon Blade, and various fourth-tier immortal talismans. Her mastery of two supreme laws, coupled with the immense power of her Rong Qiao Jue and the assistance of Wang Chan and Wang Huanyu, allowed her to successfully defeat Tianlong Immortal Monarch. She secured the second position, with Tianlong Immortal Monarch ranking third.

"Are you alright?" Wang Changsheng flew over and carefully examined Wang Ruyan. Only after confirming she was unharmed did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"I'm fine," Wang Ruyan replied.

They returned to the vicinity of the Qiankun Pagoda entrance. The entire pagoda was shrouded in a sea of green mist, from which immortals occasionally emerged. Those arriving at the location, however, found their view obscured, unable to discern what was happening within the green mist.

As Grand Luo Golden Immortals continued to challenge the Qiankun Pagoda, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan made no attempt to stop them, and other immortals naturally dared not voice any objections.

After about fifteen minutes, the last clan member was teleported out of the Qiankun Pagoda.

Wang Changsheng directed them into the Earth-tier Immortal Vessel. He then put away the Immortal Concealing Pearl, and the Qiankun Pagoda fully materialized.

They boarded the Earth-tier Immortal Vessel and departed from the location, with no Grand Luo Golden Immortal daring to obstruct their path.

After their departure, other immortals also entered the Qiankun Pagoda for trials. They discovered that the difficulty had significantly increased; the heaven's favored supreme experts of the same realm were all formidable, and the top-ranked ones predominantly possessed complete sets of immortal artifacts, raising the challenge level.

Over two hours later, three Dao artifacts vanished. The news of these Dao artifacts' appearance quickly spread, with rumors suggesting that core members of the True Dragon Clan had passed through the area. Their leader was supposedly Long Hai, a cultivator in the late Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm.

In a secret chamber on Azure Lotus Peak, Azure Lotus City, within the Chaos Continent.

The Ruyi Gate materialized, and Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stepped out from it.

Wang Changsheng flicked his sleeve, and the Azure Lotus Pendant flew forth, from which he bade Wang Qingshan and the others emerge.

"Do not divulge the details of this trial. Do not show yourselves easily. If you must venture out, disguise your appearances. Should you absolutely need to reveal yourselves, do so discreetly," Wang Changsheng cautioned.

Too many clan members had participated in this trial, and even a single mishap could expose the existence of the Ruyi Gate. Therefore, Wang Changsheng instructed clan members below the Grand Luo Golden Immortal realm to remain and cultivate within the Azure Lotus Pendant, while allowing Wang Qingshan and other Grand Luo Golden Immortals freedom of movement.

For the sake of caution, it was best if none of them easily appeared in public. There might have been immortals present at the time who possessed powerful secret arts or exotic treasures, and without revealing themselves, it would be difficult for others to recognize them.

Wang Qingshan and the others agreed, then departed one by one.

In this trial, all Grand Luo Golden Immortals of the Wang family achieved favorable rankings. Wang Qiulin also defeated a heaven's favored expert, earning a chance for revival.

With the Ruyi Gate in their possession, if the Qiankun Pagoda were to manifest again, and if it happened to be within the Wang family's sphere of influence, their clan members could utilize the Ruyi Gate to teleport there and participate in the trials.
