"Barbarian", as the name suggests, is a Chaos Primordial Technique that primarily focuses on the cultivation of physical body strength.

Barbarian has five realms.

"Broken Gold"

"Moving Mountains"

"Heaven-shaking"

"Breaking Void"

"Supreme True Power"

Each realm is markedly distinct, and, like "Zheng", is an exceptionally profound Chaos Primordial Technique.

Wang Xu studied for decades, and Barbarian has just reached the First Realm "Broken Gold".

With the power of plants, shattering golden stones.

Don't underestimate it just because it's the First Realm; Wang Xu's physical strength has increased more than sevenfold due to the enhancement of this First Realm!

"Even the First Realm can enhance physical strength so much; if it reaches Perfection, just how terrifying would it become?"

Only now did Wang Xu realize the formidable nature of Barbarian.

"No wonder in the past, I often heard other Ancestors in the Immortal Tang Divine Palace mention Desolate Fury Master, always with a particularly apprehensive expression..."

With Wang Xu's current strength, without using any Secret Techniques, merely striking with an ordinary physical palm is no different from a genuine Extreme Dao Ancestor.

A strike from Desolate Fury Ancestor would be even more terrifying!

"The power increase is indeed formidable, but the understanding of the Second Realm has added many difficulties; it seems that without tens of thousands of years of hard cultivation, reaching the Second Realm is extremely hard."

Wang Xu took the first step, reaching the First Realm of Barbarian within just several decades.

But he needs to attain Perfection in the First Realm before comprehending the Second Realm, a process that could take tens of thousands of years and becomes increasingly hard to estimate as he progresses.

This isn't [Zheng], without the insights left specially by the Profound Dragon Great Emperor.

Even if it is Desolate Fury Ancestor, it's feared he hasn't cultivated to Perfection himself, and as for Wang Xu, achieving something in Barbarian will be even more difficult.

"Let's halt the cultivation for now; having spent several million years in the Profound Dragon Room, who knows what changes have occurred in the outside world, Qing Xian and Golden Crow Yunzhan, are they doing well?"

Before entering the Profound Dragon Room, Wang Xu learned of the killing of the Ancestor of Annihilation and the capture of several peak geniuses, and he had been worried in his heart.

Qing Xian and Golden Crow Yunzhan were in the Ancestral Hall of Chaos at that time; perhaps they could avoid the calamity.

"Return to the Rebellious Divine Palace and take a look."

Wang Xu decided immediately.

Back then, he didn't dare to return to the Rebellious Divine Palace because he had just been promoted to Saint Venerable and couldn't hide his Fengye aura; he had to stay far away to avoid being discovered.

But now he was no longer afraid.

After cultivating [Zheng], Wang Xu not only learned how to manipulate using Soul Power and instantly annihilate soul aura but also how to alter soul aura.

"Soul, change!"

Wang Xu focused his gaze, and the invisible Soul Power rippled out. Under his intentional alteration, the soul aura entirely changed its flavor, identical to the soul aura emitted by the beings of Kedan.

Altering soul aura and simulating Kedan's life are no longer difficult for Wang Xu.

Even if someone at the Great Emperor Realm uses the utmost means to probe his soul, there's a high chance they won't detect Wang Xu's Fengye aura deep within his soul.

This is the power of the soul.

Once it reaches Perfection, even an aura simulated from the soul would be exceedingly difficult for someone at the Great Emperor Realm to distinguish.

"Returning, what has the Rebellious Divine Palace become now?"

...

The black stream of light flickered rapidly in the void.

Each flicker crossed a distance of over eight light-years, almost comparable to the space jumps of a Cosmic Battleship Wang Xu once had in the Ancient Luo Cosmos.

His Reversal Law had fused the Law of Light and the Law of Void within it.

The perfect blend of speed and spatial characteristics, coupled with Wang Xu now fully enduring the tearing force of such void traversal, made the speed of his journey exceedingly rapid.

However, relying solely on his speed, he ultimately couldn't return to the Rebellious Divine Palace in the shortest possible time, so Wang Xu specifically used the Divine Continent's super Teleportation Array.

Five years later.

Wang Xu had already arrived in the city where they entered the Rebellious Divine Palace initially.

This place had changed significantly; the city walls were no longer stone but coated with a layer of special metal, enhanced by powerful arrays, exponentially increasing the city's defense.

"Hmm?"

As Wang Xu entered the city gates, a silver-robed figure in the distance suddenly soared into the air, hurriedly heading toward the Teleportation Array.

Although Wang Xu merely gave it a glance, he still recognized that hurried silver-robed figure as none other than the Longxi Saint Venerable who had once accepted him as a disciple in front of the Rebellious Divine Hall!

This Longxi Saint Venerable, whom Wang Xu had once respectfully called "mentor," vanished without a trace after accepting Wang Xu, never teaching him any Secret Techniques or providing any assistance, but instead allowed disciples to oppress and bully Wang Xu.

His first disciple, Long Chen.

It was due to his arrogance that Wang Xu directly killed him during the Celestial God competition at the Rebellious Divine Palace.

They could be said to share the name of mentor and disciple in name only, and Wang Xu no longer regarded him as his mentor!

Now running into Wang Xu here, Longxi Saint Venerable looked panic-stricken, as if witnessing something fearsome, hastily trying to head to the Teleportation Array to enter the Rebellious Divine Palace via it.

"Running upon seeing me? There must be something peculiar!" Wang Xu's gaze sharpened.

Whoosh~~

Spiritual consciousness scattered out as Wang Xu extended a finger.

Instantly, the space where the Saint Venerable Longxi was located solidified, and Longxi was frozen in the void, as if struck by the Immobilization Technique, unable to move.

With a thought from Wang Xu, the void contracted, and the distance between the two was shortened in an instant.

No one in the city noticed this, after all, this was the City of Protection of the Rebellious Divine Palace, who would dare to create trouble in this city with their lives?

"Saint Venerable Longxi, you appear very frightened upon seeing me. In such a hurry, where are you planning to go?"

Wang Xu waved his hand, isolating the surrounding space, so that outsiders could neither hear their conversation nor see their figures.

The void around Saint Venerable Longxi slightly eased.

"Tai Xu... No! I should call you Tai Xu indeed!"

Saint Venerable Longxi's face flickered between light and dark, "You can't escape! This is the City of Protection of the Rebellious Divine Palace, watched by countless eyes. If I die, you won't escape no matter how skilled you are!"

Saint Venerable Longxi could sense the terrifying aura emanating from Wang Xu.

That was the dreadful power fluctuation belonging to the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, and it was even more intense and profound than the ordinary Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm in the Rebellious Divine Palace.

From this alone, he could discern that Wang Xu's strength had already surpassed his own!

Wang Xu frowned.

How did he know his title in the Fengye Chaos Cosmos?

Could it be...

A hint of shock flashed across Wang Xu's eyes.

"Qing Xian, Golden Crow Yunzhan, have they been captured!" Wang Xu demanded harshly.

"Hmph! You three spies from another cosmos planned to plot against our Kedan. Luckily, our people of the Great Emperor in Kedan aren't just there for show. No matter how deeply you hide, haven't we still found you all!" Saint Venerable Longxi sneered hideously.

Back then, after many years, Saint Venerable Longxi returned to the Rebellious Divine Palace, only to discover that his eldest disciple Longchen had been killed by the newly recruited disciple Tai Xu!

Saint Venerable Longxi was infuriated. Although it was a celestial god competition where life and death were not considered, he simply couldn't swallow this grievance.

Longchen's identity was not only as his disciple but also his illegitimate son!

Due to Longchen's mother's identity as a figure of the demonic path, Saint Venerable Longxi had no choice but to conceal this matter. Even Longchen himself did not know that Saint Venerable Longxi was his father.

With his biological child dead at the hands of Wang Xu, the immense hatred drove Saint Venerable Longxi to crazily search for Wang Xu's whereabouts.

Hearing that Wang Xu was in the Ancestral Hall of Chaos, he waited there for ten years until Wang Xu left, planning to seize the chance to kill Wang Xu and avenge his son!

However, at the end of a million-year period, Saint Venerable Longxi found that Wang Xu had already left the Ancestral Hall of Chaos!

But Saint Venerable Longxi was certain that Wang Xu would eventually return to the Ancestral Hall of Chaos. As long as he continued waiting there, he would inevitably encounter Wang Xu and be able to kill him!

But just one million six hundred thousand years ago, the Rebellious Divine Palace discovered two spies from the Fengye Chaos Cosmos.

Qing Xian, Golden Crow Yunzhan.

The two were captured, and their soul memories were searched by the emperors. Naturally, Wang Xu became a well-known fugitive throughout the Rebellious Divine Palace.

This made Saint Venerable Longxi all the more excited.

As long as he kept waiting here, when Wang Xu appeared, not only could he avenge his son, but he could also gain a significant reward!

But he was wrong.

Wrong beyond measure.

During these few million years, Wang Xu had honed himself to an immensely powerful state, surpassing his former self by leaps and bounds.

In Wang Xu's eyes, Saint Venerable Longxi's Four Elements Saint Venerable Realm was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed with a single finger.

"Speak! Were Qing Xian and Golden Crow Yunzhan captured?" Wang Xu demanded angrily.

"You canine spies from another cosmos, murdering my son Longchen, I curse you to die a horrible death!" Saint Venerable Longxi appeared mad.

Wang Xu's face darkened.

He couldn't allow Saint Venerable Longxi to continue causing a commotion here. This was the City of Protection of the Rebellious Divine Palace, filled with the disciples of the Rebellious Divine Palace. If they realized the situation, it could be disastrous.

"Obstinate and seeking death!"

Wang Xu stretched out his large hand, his five fingers covering Saint Venerable Longxi's head.

Instantly, soul power surged, dark light flickered, and Saint Venerable Longxi's crazed expression froze, sinking into an unconscious state, as if he had lost his soul, with his eyes dim.

Soul Searching Technique.

Another method of using soul power.

Using one's own powerful soul power to forcibly search another creature's soul memory, the discrepancy in soul power between both parties was evident.

A moment later.

"Scram!" Wang Xu withdrew his hand.

"Yes, master." Saint Venerable Longxi became incredibly docile.

After the soul searching, to prevent Saint Venerable Longxi from leaking information, Wang Xu simply enslaved him.

Wang Xu had no desire to associate with someone like Saint Venerable Longxi, but to conceal his tracks, he had to proceed cautiously.

After Saint Venerable Longxi left, Wang Xu stood with furrowed brows, his gaze full of anxiety.

From Saint Venerable Longxi's soul memories, he learned that Qing Xian and Golden Crow Yunzhan had been captured by the emperors over a million years ago.

However, the emperors had not killed them but had tied them together with other peak geniuses captured from various holy lands onto a "Heavenly Wood" high in the clouds, visible to everyone in Kedan.

This was just one of the things causing him anxiety.

What troubled Wang Xu even more was another matter—the Kedan Chaos Cosmos had allied with the Earth Chaos Cosmos and already declared war on Fengye! (To be continued.
