The fourteenth realm of martial arts cultivation was the fifth realm of the Martial Emperor Realm. It was the pinnacle of the Martial Emperor Realm and was known as Suppressing the Universe.
Ever since the Jade Emperor died and the Twelve Kings of Hell disappeared, no martial arts expert of this realm appeared in the Central Plains.
Only after the rise of the North Thearch, Gao Shihui, did a fifth realm Martial Emperor appear in the Northern Mang.
Zheng Ximing sought the Coiling Dragon Rock in hopes of reaching this realm.
However, he would never have thought that Lou Ning would reach this level before him and dominate the universe.
The God Slaying Halberd's radiance was rippling and spreading, filling the entire world. It was as if the entire world was within its grasp.
At this moment, Lou Ning's chest was also surging.
Although he was somewhat mentally prepared, when he really ascended to this realm, he still felt a rare sense of excitement in his heart.
At this moment, Lou Ning was full of admiration for His Majesty's remarkable abilities.
In Chang 'an City's Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun smiled.
Zheng Ximing was already in Invincible City.
Hence, he didn't need to spend any guardian experience points to raise Lou Ning's cultivation.
It was just like how he raised Purple Sun and Gu Hechuan.
However, on the surface, Lou Ning's rune flashed like Ao Kong, Long Te, and the others. It looked like he used the same method.
No matter what method he used, Lou Ning was now a fourteenth-realm cultivator. He was on par with Master Kong Ru, Peng Ziling, and Kong Shengzhen.
However, this was a huge blow to Zheng Ximing. He was a little dazed.
Lou Ning didn't hold back at all. The God Slaying Halberd slashed down on Zheng Ximing's head.
Although Zheng Ximing reacted in time, he lost all his courage. He didn't dare to fight Lou Ning head-on. He quickly tried to escape.
He was a Martial Dao expert and could ignore space and distance.
He took a step forward and was about to escape a thousand miles away.
However, he quickly realized that he couldn't take this step.
The God Slaying Halberd's radiance was everywhere. Zheng Ximing couldn't move at all.
He could only try his best to collide with it. His figure merged with the bloody light as he tried his best to open up a path of survival.
However, while he was trying his best, Lou Ning also took a step forward and arrived in front of him, blocking his path.
Lou Ning slashed with the God Slaying Halberd. The sharp edge instantly cut through the bloody light and forced Zheng Ximing to dodge.
Both of their martial arts were extremely rare in the world.
Zheng Ximing's Common People's Blood Blade was extremely sharp, above most martial arts in the world.
The sanguine light had a myriad of transformations, and it was even more agile and strange.
If the enemy was injured, the Common People's Blood Blade could absorb the enemy's essence blood to replenish its own strength. From there, it would be able to fight longer and stronger.
In terms of sharpness, Lou Ning's God Slaying Halberd was even stronger than Zheng Ximing's Common People Blood Blade.
Previously, when the two of them fought at the same level, neither of them could do anything to the other.
Now that Lou Ning's cultivation had reached a higher level, the sharpness of the God Slayer Halberd was something Zheng Ximing couldn't handle.
At the same time, Lou Ning swung his halberd, causing Zheng Ximing to feel a boundless force pass through him. The shock caused the blood in his body to churn and his limbs to go numb.
Zheng Ximing made up his mind and started to fight with all his strength. It was as if he wanted to fight Lou Ning until both of them were injured.
At this moment, Lou Ning wasn't in a rush.
The God Slaying Halberd was extremely sharp, but with his cultivation and strength, everything was as he wished.
The sharp God Slaying Halberd was as gentle as water when Lou Ning swung it.
However, when Zheng Ximing saw this, his heart surged with helplessness and despair.
Lou Ning wanted to capture him alive!
Zheng Ximing rushed left and right but was unable to get past Lou Ning.
On the contrary, he was like a fly caught in a spider's web. The more he struggled, the tighter he was.
After exchanging a few more moves, Zheng Ximing saw that his space to move was getting smaller and smaller. He said helplessly, "I surrender. I am willing to follow you to Chang 'an and ask for forgiveness from the City Lord."
"It's too late."
Lou Ning didn't stop. "If you had surrendered when I found you, you would still have had a chance. Now, I will at least break your arms and legs first."
Zheng Ximing was furious. He stopped talking and used all his strength. Even if he had to die, he had to severely injure Lou Ning.
The more anxious he was, the more leisurely Lou Ning became. He continued to exchange blows with him calmly.
In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun retracted his gaze and ignored him.
The outcome was already decided. Lou Ning would definitely capture Zheng Ximing alive. Zheng Ximing wouldn't be able to escape.
Master Zhang started to pay more attention to whether anyone else would come from the North Sea.
If he could take them away, it would save him a lot of trouble.
Unfortunately, Master Zhang's wish didn't come true.
After waiting for a long time, even after Lou Ning had captured Zheng Ximing, there were still no more reinforcements.
Zhang Dongyun shook his head and ignored him.
Lou Ning captured Zheng Ximing and sent him to Eastern Border's Chang 'an City.
With his current cultivation, it only took him a moment to travel from Middle Earth's North Sea to Eastern Border.
"Well done."
In Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun looked at the kneeling Lou Ning. He didn't hesitate to praise him.
"It was all thanks to Your Majesty that I was able to capture him. I really don't deserve Your Majesty's praise," Lou Ning replied respectfully.
As he spoke, he felt that his cultivation had fallen back to his original Realm 13.
"Go back and study it carefully," Zhang Dongyun said.
Lou Ning kowtowed. "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."
Today, Zhang Dongyun had raised him to Realm 14. Although it hadn't been long, it was an extremely rare opportunity for him.
Although he had fallen back to his original realm, the experience just now had brought him great benefits for his future cultivation.
If he could successfully break through to a higher realm in the future, he wouldn't be able to do without today's experience.
Martial arts emphasized actual combat. Now that he had returned to Middle Earth and continued to fight for Chang 'an against Middle Earth and Northern Mang experts, it was the best way to absorb today's experience.
Lou Ning bowed to Zhang Dongyun and left.
Zhang Dongyun tried to use the same trick again. He used Zheng Ximing as bait to lure more people in.
Unfortunately, the people on the other side didn't fall for it this time.
Master Zhang didn't mind that his plan didn't work.
He refocused his attention on the Coiling Dragon Rock. He began to use the rock to cultivate.
Master Zhang was leisurely and relaxed. Far away in Middle Earth's North Sea, Jiang Zhe and Hui Xing were in a dilemma.
"Aren't we going to help Senior Zheng?" Hui Xing asked.
"As for Second Brother, if he can capture him, then he can. If he can't, then we can only forget about it."
Jiang Zhe said, "Big Brother sent a message. The Northern Mang Emperor appeared near his nest. I believe it's not a small matter. We should go there first."
"Senior Jiang, since you've cultivated an Evil Shadow, you can send a White Bone Ape Evil Shadow to support Senior Zheng," Hui Xing suggested.
"It's too troublesome to chase him all the way to the Southern Wastelands. If Second Brother can't capture him, it's useless even if I send an Evil Shadow to help." Jiang Zhe said, "Why don't we inform him to come back? After we finish things here, we can go to the Southern Wastelands together to find him."
"Alright, Senior Jiang, you can make the decision." Hui Xing said no more.
He fell into deep thought.
Jiang Zhe and Zheng Ximing had always been on par. Both of them were Thirteenth Realm cultivators, and their strength was about the same.
If Zheng Ximing obtained the Coiling Dragon Rock, he would have a chance of breaking through to a higher realm.
When that time came, he would inevitably rise above Jiang Zhe.
The current leadership structure of the Six Fiends of North Sea might change greatly.
Although they were sworn brothers who went through thick and thin together, advancing and retreating together, it was one thing for them to stand shoulder to shoulder with each other, and another thing for someone to rule over everyone else.
Jiang Zhe might not be happy to see Zheng Ximing find the Coiling Dragon Rock.
He might have come to help with the search because he had other intentions other than a favor.
If he found the Coiling Dragon Rock first, Zheng Ximing might not be able to get it easily …
To Hui Xing, having a Fourteenth Realm expert among the Six Fiends of North Sea was beneficial for his revenge.
But now that the Coiling Dragon Rock had fallen into someone else's hands, he would not risk his life for Zheng Ximing.
Similarly, he would not force Jiang Zhe to lose face.
Therefore, although he understood this, Hui Xing did not expose it. He went with Jiang Zhe to meet the Scaled-Dragon King Tan Ping.
"Big Brother, is it really the Northern Mang Emperor Gao Shihui?"
Jiang Zhe asked after they met.
In the hall, there were two other people besides Tan Ping.
They were the fourth of the Six Fiends of North Sea, Evil Thunder Song Rui, and the sixth of the Six Fiends of North Sea, Starshark King Xiang Chen.
"Third Brother." The two nodded at the Bone Devil Jiang Zhe. Jiang Zhe nodded back. "Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother."
Tan Ping looked at Jiang Zhe and Hui Xing. "Where's Second Brother?"
The fifth of the Six Fiends, Black Cloud Immortal Tu Lin, had gone to the Central Plains to gather information. Tan Ping had told her not to rush back.
"Second Brother was looking for the Coiling Dragon Rock and encountered some trouble."
Jiang Zhe answered, "I've already told him to come back first."
Tan Ping nodded and then answered Jiang Zhe's previous question. "It is indeed Gao Shihui. However, he doesn't seem to be looking for trouble with us."
"Why do you say that?" Jiang Zhe raised his white eyebrows slightly.
Tan Ping's tone was somewhat puzzled. "He seems to be searching for someone else. I don't know the specifics."
Jiang Zhe pondered. "Big Brother, did he discover your underwater dragon palace?"
"Of course," Tan Ping said. "However, he didn't say much."
Tan Ping was at the Thirteenth Realm. If he could sense that Gao Shihui was searching for someone, then Gao Shihui, who was at the Fourteenth Realm, would naturally have discovered him in the underwater palace much earlier.
However, Gao Shihui only glanced over a few times before withdrawing his gaze and leaving.
It looked like it was searching for someone or something.
Jiang Zhe, Song Rui, Xiang Chen, and Hui Xing all fell into deep thought.
Tan Ping's eyes suddenly flashed. "Fifth Sister sent a message back."
In the deep sea outside the palace, a small white sparrow suddenly flew to the bottom of the sea and went all the way to the palace.
Tan Ping received Tu Lin's message. After reading the content, he said slowly, "Gao Shihui once went to the Saint Evolution Mansion. After subduing Kong Shengzhen, he left in a hurry."
