Chapter 711: Chapter 673: The First Among True Gods!_1

Zhu Ji’s fist obliterated all the Flaming Meteors.

In front of him, behind him, above his head and beneath his feet, the firelight poured down like torrential rain.

Yet he stood unyielding.

His short and stout body, placed amidst the sky full of light and rain of flames, was like the unrivaled sovereign standing tall between heaven and earth.

He seemed minuscule, but his aura was superior, not a bit weaker than Yan Lie’s.

At this moment, Zhu Ji finally made the world understand why he was the top man of the Human Race!

"Zhu Ji!"

"The Human Race still has such a heroic talent!"

"Terrifying fellow!"

Lie Yang, Jingsha, and Shajia gasped in astonishment.

The power displayed by Zhu Ji made them feel powerless and fearful; they realized they probably couldn’t withstand even one punch from him!

Just like that one punch earlier!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The Filth Alien Power of the Fifth Realm surged around Zhu Ji like the tide.

His small body, immovable as a mountain, his gaze, his consciousness, all possessed earth-shattering strength!

Zhu Ji’s gaze carried a terrifying weight, his consciousness wielded power, even his breathing could summon the forces of this world and imbue them with his will.

True God Zhu Ji ascended to True Godhood by harnessing the fate embedded in nature’s spiritual energy.

Yet in the Fifth Realm, he could effortlessly control the Filth Alien Power!

This included the "Hunyuan Big Sun Chart" offered by Lie Yang, the Golden Crow bird ablaze with Sun God Fire, those Sun God rays, streams of light and fire, Jingsha’s shadowy Alien Power, Shajia’s bright power, Aman’s strength of mountains and rocks.

All the powers that existed in this world, whether born of the natural environment or unleashed by the mighty.

As long as it was power, it could be wielded by Zhu Ji.

Zhu Ji used strength to break all laws!

His path was "force" itself, all the forms and types of power and energy; he did not delve into the truth of a particular power, nor did he explore the profound mysteries of force.

He merely needed to harness "force," applying it to his offensive moves.

Shattering those miles-high Flaming Meteors was done through the Filth Alien Power of the Fifth Realm, and the power emanating from the bodies of Lie Yang, Jingsha, Shajia, and Aman.

He cared not for the various laws within the Sun God Fire, nor the specific mysteries within the light.

As long as the Sun God Fire could provide the drive, light could form destructive power, anything that could generate power and energy could be used by him.

He was in control of energy itself!

"In the First and Second Realm, nature’s spiritual energy was at my command, easily summoned by me. In the Fifth Realm, even Filth Alien Power can be harnessed by me."

"Once I escape Purgatory, even the Starry Space Supernatural Ability from outside can be integrated into my attacks."

"No matter your thousand techniques, ten thousand paths, I can break them all with one force."

Zhu Ji threw his fist again.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Boundless Filth Alien Power surged, and the heavens manifested an omen as if rolling clouds of smoke gathered at his fist.

Zhu Ji swung his fist, and the energies of heaven and earth responded; his momentum made all beings in the Fifth Realm tremble.

Over Yan Lie’s head, where dense Filth Alien Power had already accumulated, even that was moved by the force of his punch.

The array of energies within thousands of miles’ radius in the void merged into this descending fist, striking with the grandeur and style of a deity parting the heavens and earth, targeting Yan Lie, the Alien God Spirit from beyond.

Though Zhu Ji appeared unremarkable, at this very moment, he captured the attention of everyone.

His strength, his grasp and comprehension of this Great Dao, surpassed even that of the high-ranking God Yan Lie!

"Boom!"

Yan Lie was forced to summon his true divine body.

His towering and colossal figure, stretched across thousands of feet, was draped in hundreds of streams of flame. Divine Fire and lightning adorned his entire body.

From the cuffs of his sleeves, his forehead, his shoulders, his earlobes, countless Flame Spirits sprang to life.

These vivid Flame Spirits had real souls and consciousness, flesh and bone; they were a miraculous race born alongside Yan Lie.

They regarded Yan Lie as their blood father.

Yan Lie was the progenitor of them all, their creator.

They naturally evolved life hierarchies; they aided Yan Lie in comprehending the ultimate truths of fire, offering up their wisdom, life, and strength to him. Together, they supported Yan Lie’s divine body.

Above Yan Lie’s head, a world of flames suddenly formed, becoming his unique God’s Domain.

Myriads of Flame Spirits swarmed, filling the Fire God’s domain, forging flaming stars and building cities and nations, maintaining the balance of the world.

Vast divine countries, bypassing the accumulation of millions of years, came into being in an instant within Yan Lie’s God’s Domain, unfolding miracles.

Majestic, solemn, and dignified ancient Fire Gods, wielding torches, braziers, and furnaces, emerged from Yan Lie’s domain and lifted their sacred objects toward the firmament.

Their Divine Realm was being assaulted by an external force; their world was facing invasion by an outside enemy.

Together they resisted, using everything within their power.

This spectacle left all onlookers dumbstruck.

Lie Yang, Ghost Mother, Aman, Jingsha, and Shajia all came to a halt.

For a moment, they were unable to distinguish whether the divine countries, cities, stars, beings, and god spirits within the divine domain created by Yan Lie were real or false.

Yet, it was the existence of this divine domain that blocked Zhu Ji’s terrifying punch.

In the Fifth Realm, Filth Alien Power flowed ceaselessly into this place.

Across seven vast continents, in the expanse of the void, at the edges of heaven and earth, the omnipresent Filth Alien Power found direction and purpose due to Zhu Ji, surging in from all places.

Zhu Ji, bringing with him the Filth Alien Power of the Fifth Realm, came to strike against the divine domain Yan Lie had crafted.

Such a divine domain was so dazzling, so real.

It evolved through the entire process within the Outer Star River, where a Star Domain emerges from nothing, from desolation to flourishing, and then to decline and destruction.

A High God like Yan Lie, with profound understanding of the Great Tao and insight into the vicissitudes of the Star River, commanded the admiration of powerful beings such as the Ghost Mother and Lie Yang.

They finally realized the gap between them and the powerful Alien God Spirits from beyond.

If not for Zhu Ji’s dao, the aggregate of all forms of power and Alien Power, the fundamental "force," and his ability to mobilize the entire Fifth Realm’s Filth Alien Power for battle.

Then, who could stand against Yan Lie?

"No wonder Li Wang felt so confident to leave,"

On Aman’s broad shoulders, sturdy as ancient city walls, Shajia took a deep breath and murmured somewhat disheartenedly, "We still underestimated the True God of the Human Race."

Aman grunted, saying in a deep and resonant voice, "Without those elders descending from outer space, Zhu Ji alone could have wiped us all out."

Shajia nodded bitterly, sharing the sentiment deeply.

Everyone knew of Zhu Ji’s strength, but they never understood where his strength lay until today.

All the energy of the Purgatory World could be controlled by Zhu Ji, turning it into the source of "force," becoming his weapon to choke his opponents.

The fundamental "force" enhanced and elevated Zhu Ji, not limited to the confines of Purgatory.

Once he leaves Purgatory, entering the vast, boundless Star River, Zhu Ji’s dao is just as effective!

Should he break through the Heaven Forbidden and leave, in the previously god-guarded Star River, he could still utilize all the Supernatural Ability of the Mysterious Fog!

He virtually had an unlimited amount of strength!

Unless he was in the void, an area devoid of all Alien Power, Zhu Ji would be like a perpetual motion machine, never worrying about running out of power!

The Sovereign who used six artifacts to send Zhu Ji to the Sixth Realm perhaps saw the terror in Zhu Ji’s dao and wanted the Sixth Realm to refine Zhu Ji further.

Unfortunately, even the Sixth Realm still contained Filth Alien Power.

In the Sixth Realm, Zhu Ji did not suffer from the invasion of Filth Alien Power at all.

He simply set up a barrier, preventing a single trace of Filth Alien Power from entering his body and eroding the nature’s spiritual energy within.

"I didn’t leave Purgatory because Li Wang kept asking me to stay and help the Human Race survive another calamity."

"What Li Wang wanted me to guard against were beings like you, like that Sovereign, like the Original Demon—Alien Gods from Outer Space who do not follow the rules. In Purgatory, no matter how you disrupt the rules, it is difficult for you to regain your peak combat strength."

"Whereas I can no longer be measured with the level of power of a True God."

Zhu Ji ceased to swing his fists.

He hovered in the divine domain above Yan Lie’s head, where boundless Filth Alien Power transformed into energy visible to the naked eye, surging in clusters.

Greyish-brown, blue-purple, light green, black—bunch by bunch, cluster by cluster.

The initially diffuse Filth Alien Power, condensed by Zhu Ji’s "force dao," became more concentrated and was directly visualized.

"Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!"

True Gods like Pu Zhaotian, Li Yuanli, Su Wenrou, Yin Ji, and Tian Du San Ren, when they broke through the dome of the Fifth Realm and descended, were all bewildered by the scene before them.

Yan Lie, revealing his true divine form as a High God from beyond and even unleashing a divine domain, was being suppressed by Zhu Ji alone. Zhu Ji commanded the entire Fifth Realm’s Filth Alien Power, allowing the power of this world to infiltrate his God’s Domain.

Filth Alien Power that fell into Yan Lie’s divine domain was being burned, consumed, and had its impurities erased.

The Filth Alien Power continued to be consumed.

Gradually, there was no more Filth Alien Power from the Fifth Realm floating into the Fourth Realm or the Third Realm.

If this battle continued to drag on and enough Filth Alien Power was eradicated, the Alien Tribes’ dream of following the Filth Alien Power into the Second Realm, or even the First Realm, would become utterly impossible!

"Truly worthy of the title ’First Person of the Human Race.’"

Pu Zhaotian, who arrived with great momentum, couldn’t help but exclaim as he observed Zhu Ji’s impressive feats.

After merging with the Heaven Forbidden of Purgatory, he enabled all True Gods to utilize the power within the Heaven Forbidden, and his combat power in the First Realm and Second Realm received tremendous augmentation.

Yet, it still could not compare to the terror of the dao Zhu Ji pursued.

The Divine Skills of encompassing all sources of power, making all power his own, would allow Zhu Ji to remain peerless in the Boundless Star River even once he left the Purgatory World.

If Zhu Ji does not die and continues to grow, the Hall of Gods may once again be plunged into turmoil!

"Once this calamity is passed, I will leave Purgatory,"

Zhu Ji turned his head and looked at Pu Zhaotian and the others, saying, "Be careful, in addition to this Yan Lie, there are two more troublesome Alien God Spirits from outer space."

The Original Demon has yet to show himself.

Luo Hongyan’s whereabouts are unknown.

Regardless of the Original Demon or Luo Hongyan, who is served by Yan Lie, both are greater troubles in Zhu Ji’s mind than Yan Lie.

With matters at this point, the battle between the Human Race and the Alien Tribes had truly commenced, and he worried those two would appear at any moment.
