This was the first time Chen Shi used the West King Jade Seal as a magical treasure.

Previously, the West King Jade Seal had little power. Without the Mountain and River Map, without divine enthronement, the West King Jade Seal was merely a piece of jade carved into an ordinary magical treasure. However, combined with the Mountain and River Map and the local divinities, its power had grown significantly.

Because it is the symbol of sovereignty!

Mountains and rivers refer to the geographical landscapes, while territories imply the deities of all lands and grains on these geographical landscapes.

Land and grain represent the territory of survival and food, both crucial for the Human Clan.

The Mountain and River Map is a record of human territorial survival and grain production.

With these, one truly holds royalty.

After the True King passed away, the West King Jade Seal was held in the Western Capital, but it was just an empty shell with little use because it lacked the Mountain and River Map.

Now, Chen Shi has illuminated the Mountain and River Map of four provinces.

The force of the territories from the four provinces empowered the seal. As the treasure seal descended, the surrounding space twisted, and the sky visible to Zhong Wuwang's eye shrank to the size of the treasure seal, pressing down upon him.

As it approached, the treasure seal grew larger in his vision, filling up everything in sight, consuming all!

This is the power of unrivaled sovereign reign!

Zhong Wuwang's face changed, and the earring hanging by his ear suddenly flew, the solar fire on the earring flaring into a blazing sun soaring into the sky, while the crescent moon transformed into a curved moon, the sun and moon entangled, yin and yang in turmoil, meeting the descending West King Jade Seal.

This earring was a significant treasure of the Immortal Family, acquired from a celestial corpse when he first left Despair Slope, traveling with his master. The earring floated, untouchable by anyone, even his master, whose profound skills repeatedly repelled by the yin-yang qi it emitted.

Only Zhong Wuwang grasped the pattern's mysteries on the earring, understanding its sacrificial refinement method, comfortably securing it in his possession.

Since then, he has worn this earring on his left ear, treating it as an ornament in daily life, but as an amulet during danger.

This small object, though tiny, possesses mighty power, helping him survive numerous perils. This time, the ancestors of the Fei, Yan, and Gu families came to kill him; their terrifying strength, such that even with his innate dao embryo, he was heavily wounded. Thanks to the Yin Yang Sun Moon Ring, he survived multiple deadly scenarios.

What he didn't expect was that upon encountering Chen Shi, he would have to raise the Yin Yang Sun Moon Ring, seeking a sliver of survival!

The yin-yang qi propelled the great sun and the curved moon, rising higher, swirling the currents, forming magnificent scenes of mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, and plains under the sun and moon!

This treasure's power surged, clashing with the West King Jade Seal with a resounding clang. Instantly, the sun and moon extinguished, the great sun and bright moon rapidly shrinking, and the world formed by yin and yang qi collapsed and vanished!

This heavenly treasure transformed into solar wheels and moon crescents, streaking through the sky with two golden-white gleams, reattaching to Zhong Wuwang's ear.

Zhong Wuwang grunted, the recoil from the Yin Yang Sun Moon Ring bursting open his wounds, blood flowing wildly.

Luckily, the innate dao embryo in the divine shrine absorbed most of the recoil, preventing him from exploding to death.

With the West King Jade Seal and Yin Yang Sun Moon Ring clashing, the sky-covering phenomenon vanished immediately. Zhong Wuwang seized this chance and swiftly escaped.

His injuries were severe, and his cultivation was difficult to use, forcing him to hide in Qinghe Town.

The injuries he had barely suppressed flared up again due to this collision with Chen Shi. If he continued tangling with Chen Shi, should the West King Jade Seal descend again, he would be doomed.

He used the Earth Escape, which means a cultivator's body transforms into earth, traveling underground. Anywhere with soil is navigable, emerging from the earth in a secure place.

Yet, as he entered the earth, the surrounding ground vanished, and he found himself in the sky.

"Qiankun Transformation? The earth turned to sky!"

Zhong Wuwang remained unfazed, immediately activating the innate dao embryo to break the Qiankun Transformation, escaping as a flash of flame.

The Fire Escape enables a cultivator to transform into fire and conceal themselves, able to travel hundreds, thousands, even tens of thousands of miles, emerging from any flame.

Yet, just as he entered the Fire Escape, he flew out from a flame near Chen Shi.

He faced Chen Shi's storm-like onslaught, Chen Shi using his fingers as a sword, sword qi shooting from his fingertips, aiming at Zhong Wuwang's heart. Zhong Wuwang retreated, sidestepping to dodge the sword qi emitting from his fingertips. Simultaneously, Chen Shi's other palm reached his throat, clamping his throat bone, intent on tearing it out.

Zhong Wuwang tensed his throat, muscles twitching, flicking away Chen Shi's fingers.

Chen Shi kicked at his lower region, Zhong Wuwang sidestepped to dodge, tilting his head to avoid Chen Shi's ear-piercing slap but felt tears of pain at sudden agony. Chen Shi attacked not his vitals but inserted two fingers into his wound, gouging his flesh, nearly tearing it out.

Zhong Wuwang immediately attempted a Water Escape but water appeared, and he emerged from the water, confronting blades splintered into twos, then fours, then eights.

The two soared and jumped over the water, surrounded by increasing swirling sword qi.

The sword qi shot through Chen Shi's fingers, underarms, elbows, back, and other hidden places. His form shielded the sword qi, and the sword qi shielded his attacks, throwing Zhong Wuwang into disarray.

Zhong Wuwang activated the innate dao embryo, halting all sword qi, turning into a flash of thunder light to escape.

"Can you really escape?"

Chen Shi raised his hand and grabbed, a bolt of thunder falling from the sky, from which Zhong Wuwang's figure flew out.

Chen Shi rushed forward, the two engaged in close combat, their attack speed growing faster. Chen Shi's every move no longer targeted his vital points but stabbed only at his wounds.

Zhong Wuwang's vital points had been refined to be flawless, with defenses extremely perfect, but the wounds on his body were exactly the flaws found by the ancestors of the Yan, Gu, and Fei families.

This battle was extremely tough for Zhong Wuwang. Almost every wound was attacked five or six times again by Chen Shi, and some wounds were repeatedly poked by Chen Shi's fingers, as if pulling out his flesh and tendons.

Such a ferocious fighting style, it was his first time witnessing it.

Such swift attacks, he had no time to unleash his magic, and could only fight strength with strength!

"If I cannot escape, I will surely die here!"

With this thought, he immediately activated his Innate Dao Embryo. Only the sound of continuous thunderclaps was heard, and one flash of lightning after another fell from the sky.

Zhong Wuwang turned into a bolt of thunder and fled, his figure appearing in another bolt of lightning, then vanished again, escaping far along the path of continuously appearing lightning.

"Chen Shi, once my injuries are healed, I will have no weaknesses. Then we shall compete again!"

His voice quickly faded away.

On the great plains of Lingzhou, one bolt of lightning after another continued to fall, stretching rapidly into the distance, spanning thousands of miles in an instant.

At the same time, in Lingzhou City, Yan Weizhong, Gu Tong, and Fei Zichong, the three ancestors, immediately sensed it, each rising into the air, chasing after those bolts of thunder!

"Found you!" The spirits of the three ancestors were greatly lifted.

Zhong Wuwang, using one breath, escaped tens of thousands of miles, exiting Juzhou Province. He immediately switched his Escape Skill.

He detected the aura of three virtually Immortal beings chasing him, guessing it to be the ancestors of the three families, so he dared not delay, knowing that if he didn't change his Escape Skill, he would surely be harmed.

He switched several Escape Skills in succession, fleeing to Tangzhou Province, then to Zhe Man Province and Juzhou Province, spanning more than a hundred thousand miles, finally shaking off the three old Immortals.

Zhong Wuwang hid himself, concealing his presence, still unable to hide the look of excitement.

"This time I was severely injured, Chen Shi used the most powerful Immortal Artifact of the True King Era, the three old Immortals pursued me, yet I still escaped. Once I patch these flaws in my wounds, I will have no weaknesses and will have the confidence to kill these three old Immortals!"

Every wound of his is a flaw, and with his own understanding, it's difficult to discover these flaws usually. But the ancestors of the three great families were all peerless geniuses of the True King Era, and during the battle with him, they sharply found these flaws. Zhong Wuwang could then target his own weaknesses and improve his Cultivation Technique to make it more perfect, even advancing further!

That is to become an Immortal!

He went down the mountain this time, calculating that the masters of the Thirteen Families would pursue him, and he also wanted to use this opportunity to hone himself, to break through!

He had absolute confidence in becoming the first Immortal of the new method!

At this time, after the excitement passed, Zhong Wuwang began to feel the burning pain at each wound on his body.

Chen Shi gave him a hard beating this time. In terms of cultivation and strength, Chen Shi was far inferior to him, yet he specifically attacked those wounds, bringing injury upon injury.

"Child Scholar, this is your only chance in life to wound me."

Zhong Wuwang smiled slightly, suddenly feeling a pain in his left ear. He raised his hand to touch it, and was stunned, his whole body turning cold.

He didn't feel the Yin Yang Sun Moon Ring.

That Immortal Artifact had vanished without a trace!

Along with the disappearance of the Yin Yang Sun Moon Ring was his left earlobe!

A piece of flesh was missing from his left ear!

Zhong Wuwang's expression changed unpredictably, thinking back to when, before he used Thunder Light to flee, during the close combat, Chen Shi had an attack that missed, skimming past his left ear.

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

Chen Shi's attack did not miss but seized the opportunity to tear off his earring along with his earlobe!

Outside Qingshui Town, Chen Shi did not pursue. With his cultivation, he couldn't catch up even if he tried.

Scholar Zhu was healing his wounds, and Little Dun Fairy was also injured. Utilizing their cultivation would only worsen their injuries.

He opened his palm, and a lump of flesh throbbed in it.

This finger-sized lump of flesh was precisely Zhong Wuwang's left ear earlobe.

And the Yin Yang Sun Moon Ring, the Immortal Artifact, was hanging below the earlobe.

Chen Shi tossed the earlobe to the ground, picked up the Yin Yang Sun Moon Ring, and suddenly smiled: "With this treasure, Yin Yang Refining, even the Three Corpse Gods will no longer be a problem!"
