At this moment, deep within the grasslands, Isla Su of a certain tribe had no idea that she had already become the object of resentment for two individuals.
To her, whether Oliver Sheng or the old Taoist Astral lived or died, it didn't matter much.
It was merely a small trick, manipulating hearts and playing with human nature—this was the innate nature of a fox demon, born to enchant.
She hadn't deceived the old Taoist Astral; she had indeed given the Golden Page to Oliver Sheng.
That thing was a hot potato, more coveted than the Heavenly Demon Mirror she possessed.
As one of the inheritance methods of the Heavenly Sect of Daoism, both the Kunlun and Earthly Sect would relentlessly hunt her down if they knew the Golden Page was in her possession.
Therefore, Isla Su threw this hot potato to Oliver Sheng.
After all, the Golden Page was a human cultivation inheritance; she couldn't cultivate it even if she had it, so it was of little use to her.
Unfortunately, Oliver Sheng narcissistically thought that the fox demon had taken a liking to him and thus gave him such a precious Daoist cultivation method.
Now, the arrival of a Kunlun Daoist Sect outcast had completely exposed his strength.
"Old Taoist, show me what you've got, or else when I cut off your head later, you won't have another chance," Oliver Sheng said, brimming with killing intent as he looked at Taoist Astral.
"Ignorant fool, how dare you boast so shamelessly," Taoist Astral's expression turned cold as he formed a seal with his hands, and a celestial sword appeared behind him.
The radiant celestial sword instantly split into thousands, its sword intent piercing the sky, dispersing the clouds above.
The air was filled with the sharp sword intent, its edge unmistakable.
"Fall!"
With a light command from Taoist Astral, the golden celestial swords shot towards Oliver Sheng.
"Great Sun Golden Body!"
Oliver Sheng quickly activated the protective technique from the Great Sun Heart Sutra, forming a golden divine body around him, radiating brilliant light.
"Boom boom..."
The celestial swords struck the protective golden body but couldn't break through Oliver Sheng's defense.
"Old Taoist, is that all you've got? Your celestial sword feels so weak. Did you skip breakfast or run out of mana?" Oliver Sheng mocked.
It was his first time using the protective golden body, and he was amazed at its formidable defense.
Taoist Astral's swordsmanship was no joke; even a casual sword strike could kill a Grandmaster.
Hearing Oliver Sheng's ridicule, Taoist Astral's anger flared up.
It had been a long time since anyone had dared to provoke him like this.
"Eight Desolate Fire Dragons!"
Taoist Astral unleashed eight fiery talismans, surrounding Oliver Sheng.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
"Rise!"
With a furious shout, Taoist Astral activated the spell, and eight fire dragons emerged from the talismans.
"Roar..."
The massive fire dragons, with flames rolling off their bodies, exuded a scorching heat that could incinerate the heavens and boil the seas.
These weren't real fire dragons but a type of magical technique from the Kunlun Daoist Sect, using talismans as a medium to channel the essence of fire from the heavens and earth, forming fire dragons to burn the enemy.
Oliver Sheng was enveloped by this magical talisman, and the eight fire dragons roared, spewing flames towards him.
The all-consuming flames hit Oliver Sheng's protective golden body, and he felt the scorching heat.
Indeed, these Daoists had many tricks up their sleeves.
Oliver Sheng wielded his battle blade in one hand and formed the Great Sun Divine Fist in the other, striking at the eight fire dragons.
"Boom!"
The eight fire dragons surged towards Oliver Sheng, attempting to tear him apart.
On the ground, Cameron Guo, Wesley Hu, Felix Wu, and Wang Zhan watched the fierce battle in the sky, the terrifying divine power overwhelming them.
It was an eye-opening experience.
"The General is so strong!" Cameron Guo murmured.
"I told you, the General is definitely a Grandmaster-level powerhouse. But I didn't expect him to be this strong. It's really tough on us," Wesley Hu said.
In their hearts, they were utterly shocked.
Back then, Oliver Sheng had broken through to the Postnatal Realm around the same time as them.
Now, Oliver Sheng's strength had grown to a level they couldn't fathom.
The two of them had relied on numerous pills, cultivation methods, and ample meat to reach the late stages of the Postnatal Realm.
The difference was incomparable.
"Is this the divine power that can be displayed when martial arts reach a profound realm? It's truly awe-inspiring," Wang Zhan's eyes were full of longing.
Unfortunately, his family's secret techniques could only be cultivated to the Innate Realm, and his talent wasn't great. After more than thirty years of cultivation, he had only reached the late stages of the Postnatal Realm.
"......"
Xiao Chuyi's beautiful eyes were filled with shock. Taoist Astral was a high-level Daoist in the Yin Spirit Realm.
Even a mid-stage Great Grandmaster might not be his match.
Yet Oliver Sheng could fight him to a standstill. It was unbelievable how strong Oliver Sheng had become!
She had already estimated Oliver Sheng's strength highly, but she still underestimated him.
This was no longer a martial arts prodigy; it was a martial arts demon.
An eighteen or nineteen-year-old Grandmaster, with combat power comparable to a Great Grandmaster, hadn't appeared in a thousand years.
Countless people looked up, their mouths agape, watching the god-like battle in the sky.
"Daddy, Daddy, I want to be a god too. I want to fly," a child's innocent and pure thoughts echoed.
Taoist Astral, taking advantage of Oliver Sheng dealing with the Eight Desolate Fire Dragons, pulled out several jade talismans from his spatial ring.
Infusing them with mana, he cast them into the void, setting up an array to use the power of the formation to kill Oliver Sheng.
One by one, the pre-refined jade talismans were cast into the void, arranged according to the formation.
"Boom!"
Oliver Sheng shattered a fire dragon with a fierce punch, then unleashed a powerful slash, killing two more fire dragons.
By the time he had destroyed all eight fire dragons, the eight talismans had burned to ashes.
Having broken Taoist Astral's Eight Desolate Fire Dragon Talisman Formation, Oliver Sheng sensed a hint of danger.
The space around him seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious force.
"Kid, I must admit, you're strong, but this is the end of the line," Taoist Astral said coldly.
"Old Taoist, who are you trying to scare? Show me what you've got," Oliver Sheng felt a slight unease in his heart.
This old Taoist, being from a major Daoist sect, had many tricks up his sleeve.
He immediately began to consume Kill Points to enhance his cultivation.
These Kill Points were saved for emergencies against powerful foes.
Consuming nine thousand Kill Points, Oliver Sheng rapidly elevated his cultivation to Grandmaster at Great Perfection, generating a fourth innate essence, the essence of wood.
Sensing the sudden increase in Oliver Sheng's aura and blood energy, Taoist Astral wasted no time, fearing any more surprises.
He immediately activated the formation.
"God-Slaying Array! Rise!"
The jade talismans emitted brilliant light, converging above Oliver Sheng's head to form a spear.
The spear's formation made Oliver Sheng's divine soul tremble; it seemed to be an attack targeting the divine soul.
Oliver Sheng immediately consumed five thousand Kill Points, directly allocating points to the Visualize of Gods and Demons, rapidly enhancing his divine soul, making it stronger and more solid.
"God-Slaying Spear, fall!"
With a shout, Taoist Astral commanded the brilliant God-Slaying Spear to descend from the sky, aiming directly at Oliver Sheng's divine soul.
Oliver Sheng's divine soul rapidly strengthened, and the divine soul of gods and demons in his sea of consciousness became clearer and more solid.
The next moment, a divine and demonic shadow appeared behind Oliver Sheng, half-god, half-demon, united as one.
Seeing the divine and demonic shadow behind Oliver Sheng, Taoist Astral's expression brightened.
"Indeed, that fox demon didn't lie to me. The Golden Page is with you."
"I didn't expect you to comprehend the Visualize of Gods and Demons and successfully cultivate it," Taoist Astral found it unbelievable.
Oliver Sheng hadn't cultivated the Dao; he was just a crude warrior. How could he comprehend the Visualize of Gods and Demons?
"But it doesn't matter. Once I kill you, the Golden Page will be mine," Taoist Astral's eyes turned ruthless.
He was confident in the power of the God-Slaying Array to destroy Oliver Sheng's divine soul.
This was the heritage of a major Daoist sect, possessing such heaven-defying methods.
Oliver Sheng looked at the descending God-Slaying Spear and immediately used a secret technique recorded in the Visualize of Gods and Demons. The divine and demonic shadow behind him rapidly formed a seal, and a divine soul light shot out from Oliver Sheng's forehead.
"Divine Demon Strike!"
The divine soul light shot upward, instantly hitting the God-Slaying Spear. The mysterious soul power erupted, tearing the void, shattering the jade talismans, and destroying the God-Slaying Spear.
Oliver Sheng felt his divine soul weaken, and the divine and demonic shadow behind him disappeared.
A single Divine Demon Strike shattered Taoist Astral's hope.
"What? Impossible."
"How can your divine soul be so powerful?" Astral couldn't believe his eyes as the God-Slaying Spear was destroyed and the God-Slaying Array was ruined.
This was one of his trump cards, capable of killing even a Yin Spirit divine soul.
But Oliver Sheng had used his divine soul power to break his ultimate move.
How could Oliver Sheng have cultivated such a powerful divine soul in such a short time after obtaining the Golden Page?
"Impossible! This is impossible!"
Seeing Astral in a crazed state, disbelief written all over his face, Oliver Sheng sneered.
"Impossible? There's nothing impossible in this world."
"Die!"
Oliver Sheng charged towards Taoist Astral.
