Chapter 189 The Fish Takes the Bait Again
The guys who destroyed the Divine Realm must have already thoroughly investigated Luo Xuan's terrifying combat power at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.
If I were to continue to feign weakness at this moment, it would probably seem too deliberate and artificial.
Therefore, Zhao Xuan had no intention of hiding anything and instantly unleashed his Heavenly Mandate God form.
In an instant, Zhao Xuan, now adorned with the divine form of the Heavenly Mandate, seemed to transform into an unparalleled emperor who controlled the blazing sun.
With every gesture, endless raging flames followed him like a persistent leech, each move containing terrifying, world-destroying power.
Faced with such power, even those usually arrogant and domineering Golden Immortals could not withstand a single move.
In the blink of an eye, these so-called Great Luo Golden Immortals died tragically on the spot, their physical bodies turning to ashes in an instant, leaving only wisps of fragile true spirits to flee in a sorry state.
This is the true source of the power of the Heavenly Mandate God form.
Only those who have entered the Primordial Chaos Realm, specifically the Great Luo Golden Immortals, can be honored as Dao Gods.
In other words, the perfect form of the Heavenly Mandate God is the legendary Primordial Limitless Golden Immortal.
Even if the Heavenly Fate God that Zhao Xuan contemplated only possessed a fraction of its power, it was still enough to bring about a tremendous boost to the power of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
After successfully dealing with the group of Great Luo Golden Immortals, Zhao Xuan began to deal with the troublesome Destruction Golden Immortal puppets.
Even though the Heavenly Mandate God form was incredibly powerful, Zhao Xuan was only wielding the Great Luo Golden Immortal power that Luo Xuan possessed, so it was still very difficult for him to deliver a fatal blow to these puppets.
Because the Destruction Golems lack their own consciousness, they can be regarded as objects, and the Destruction God Realm strengthens their physical bodies to the limit in various ways.
Therefore, it is very durable.
However, the most powerful aspect of the Heavenly Mandate God lies precisely in its ability to manipulate the immense power from the outside world at will.
It is a state of perfect control over the Dao, so high that even the fire element power cultivated by the three-legged fire crow after multiple evolutions cannot escape its control.
This is why the Heavenly Mandate God can easily absorb the immense energy contained within them without even needing the power of an array to control them.
After a century of careful incubation, those original fire crow eggs have completed their evolution.
Currently, among those fire crows, there are 12,960 three-legged fire crows that have reached the Golden Immortal level, and 3,000 three-legged fire crows that have reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.
When all these forces come together, the power they unleash is in no way inferior to that of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
Under the masterful control of the Heavenly Mandate God, this immense power instantly merged into one, transforming into a gigantic three-legged golden crow.
The endless raging flames were also highly condensed into the dazzling golden flames of the sun, like a blazing and dazzling sun hanging high in the sky.
With a deafening roar, the golden flames of the sun surged forth with overwhelming force, instantly engulfing the hideous, destructive golems.
In the blink of an eye, the Destruction Puppet turned into wisps of ashes under the terrifyingly high temperature and vanished without a trace.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xuan flashed and stood steadily on the broad back of the three-legged golden crow.
With its eyes firmly locked on the group of Grand Luo Immortals ahead, the three-legged golden crow beneath its feet flapped its wings and soared high, charging straight toward the enemy with an indomitable momentum.
However, at that moment, four figures suddenly rushed out of the Destruction God Realm like ghosts, blocking Zhao Xuan's fatal blow.
Of course, all of this was a scheme pre-planned by Zhao Xuan. He deliberately showed off his ability to easily eliminate those Great Luo Golden Immortals and Hunyuan Golden Immortals and destroy their puppets, in order to attract more powerful enemies to appear.
Faced with these four newly appeared Grand Luo Golden Immortals, Zhao Xuan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile...
While Zhao Xuan's speed in dealing with hundreds of Grand Luo Golden Immortals and dozens of Primordial Golden Immortals seemed fast, decades had quietly passed.
It should be understood that those people were by no means helpless pigs or sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
When they realized that they could not fight Zhao Xuan alone, they naturally did not sit idly by and wait for their deaths, but chose to escape or join forces with each other.
If these three hundred-plus Grand Luo Golden Immortals were to unite sincerely, the combined power they would possess would be formidable, perhaps even comparable to that of a Primordial Grand Luo Golden Immortal.
Therefore, even though Zhao Xuan, in his Heavenly Mandate God form, could kill an opponent with a single blow, he had to proceed step by step and take a strategy of divide and conquer to defeat them one by one when faced with so many cunning and unpredictable enemies.
That's why this battle took so long.
In comparison, the destructive puppets controlled by those Primordial Golden Immortals were actually easier to deal with.
During this time, the true spirits of those Great Luo Golden Immortals had already successfully returned to the God Realm of Destruction and relayed the various events that had occurred there back to their rear.
Zhao Xuan's display of the deity of destiny had another deeper meaning: to attract the covetousness of the Heavenly Wolf Imperial City.
For a Great Luo Golden Immortal who can visualize the Heavenly Mandate God, their own value is by no means inferior to that of a medium-sized divine realm.
Just as Luo Xuan had initially planned, the four stages of the Fire Crow, the Three-Legged Fire Crow, the Three-Legged Golden Crow, and the Chaos Golden Crow were the objects of contemplation.
Even if the path of cultivation is severed due to the differentiation of divine essence, it is still useful in its array system.
In the world of gods, starting from the Golden Immortal realm, cultivators have the ability to break through realms through visualization and evolution.
This kind of visualization evolution is not something that can be achieved overnight. It can go through four evolutions in total, and each successful evolution means a huge improvement in cultivation.
Once a cultivator completes their first visualization evolution, they can successfully advance to become a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
The second visualization evolution will allow one to advance their strength to the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The third visualization evolution leads to entry into the ranks of the Primordial Golden Immortal;
The most profound fourth stage of visualization evolution, once achieved, can lead to becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal.
However, in order to bear the terrifying power of a Primordial Golden Immortal, the object of visualization must reach the level of a chaotic being or a living spiritual treasure.
Sadly, even in the world of gods, chaotic beings and chaotic treasures are extremely rare.
They are so rare that there are simply not enough physical examples for practitioners to carefully study their mysteries.
Even if a cultivator is exceptionally talented and wise, it would be difficult to imagine out of thin air what kind of amazing mysteries these chaotic beings and chaotic treasures contain.
This is why many Primordial Golden Immortals in this world often encounter an insurmountable chasm when attempting to break through to Primordial Daluo Golden Immortal—how to obtain the mysteries of chaotic beings and chaotic spiritual treasures.
For disciples of major sects like Luo Xuan, the situation might be slightly better. After all, these sects with profound foundations and long-standing traditions may have been fortunate enough to capture a trace of the aura of chaotic beings over the long years and carefully preserved it for future generations to study and ponder.
However, for the vast majority of ordinary practitioners, this problem is almost impossible to solve, and they can only grope their way forward with difficulty on the long road of cultivation...
Disciples of major sects can use the aura of their sect's heritage as a reference.
Then, by using the Daoist aura permeating the Divine River, they painstakingly collected the mysteries contained within those chaotic beings.
This is why only one cultivator is allowed on each path.
It should be noted that in the entire God Realm, the most widely recognized ultimate form of fire is the Chaos Golden Crow.
Although many chaotic beings, such as the Chaos Vermilion Bird, the Chaos Fire Phoenix, and the Chaos Bifang, also cultivate the Way of Fire, they are still slightly inferior to the Chaos Golden Crow.
For cultivators like Luo Xuan, who come from major sects, they naturally don't want to fall behind others on the path of cultivation.
Therefore, every cultivator who chooses to practice the fire element regards the Chaos Golden Crow as their lifelong pursuit.
This could potentially lead to a conflict between the Holy Mother of Fire and the so-called "moral conflict".
Although the visualization object is theoretically allowed four advancement opportunities, in reality, many people feel that achieving three advancements is already the limit.
For this reason, when cultivators attempt to break through to the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, they usually adopt the method of visualizing objects three times and then combining it with the differentiation of divine essence to achieve the breakthrough.
However, among these many beings, there is one extremely special and rare type: the God of Destiny.
If someone can visualize the Deity of Heaven, there is no need to follow the traditional path of the evolution of visualized objects.
As long as one's own accumulation is deep enough, one can achieve a breakthrough and improvement in one's realm.
This is precisely the astonishing power of the Heavenly Mandate God. Even many powerful individuals who have reached the level of the Primordial Golden Immortal have been unable to transform their imagined objects into the Heavenly Mandate God.
Therefore, a Great Luo Golden Immortal who successfully visualizes the Heavenly Mandate God possesses extremely high value, even comparable to a medium-sized divine realm.
By capturing Zhao Xuan, we can explore his memories and gain insights into his understanding of the Heavenly Mandate God.
Although this may not guarantee that they will be able to visualize the Heavenly Mandate God, there is no doubt that these insights will greatly benefit their cultivation path.
Therefore, when Zhao Xuan learned that the visitors were cultivators from the Heavenly Wolf Imperial City, he understood that there must be a large number of top experts hidden behind them.
Therefore, Zhao Xuan did not rashly use the formation to suppress it directly, but chose to show weakness for the time being.
He knew that if he revealed his overwhelming strength too early, the God Realm might decide that the gains were not worth the losses and abandon sending more people.
Clearly, Zhao Xuan's strategy was correct, as the God Realm of Destruction dispatched four more Grand Luo Golden Immortals.
