ao Ren felt like he was dreaming.When he reached the first floor lobby, the pretty receptionist gave him a slight smile as he passed by—anyone who could enter the CEO's office must be an important gue...Chapter 787: There Are Always People Beyond Humans and Heaven Beyond the Sky

Cheep cheep...

The little white dragon left behind golden flames as it saw Hao Ren vanish into the sky and pursued him.

Cheep cheep cheep cheep cheep...

Several baby snow lions that had been hiding in the sea rushed out to follow the little white dragon.

The appearance of a vortex near the Dragon Palace caused these snow lions, driven by their instincts as beasts, to hide. Now seeing the little white dragon, they seemed to see their leader and emerged one after another.

Currently, the little white dragon was already a Tier 10 monster, completely breaking the understanding of spirit beast snow lions held by cultivation sects above the Fifth Firmament Sky, thus rightfully becoming the big brother of these baby snow lions!

If in the future Little White became Suanni's disciple, then these snow lions that followed her would become Suanni's grand-disciples. They could all reach Tier 10 or even breakthrough to the Incarnation Stage. Their collective appearance would be incredibly impressive!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A few streaks of sword light shot out from high above, forcing the little white dragon back down onto the sea surface.

Hao Ren knew that Little White was loyal but did not want her to follow him into danger, especially since he knew she was actually a young girl!

The golden shield that had been suddenly abandoned by Little White flew over and attached itself to her back like a spoiled child.

It realized that Hao Ren didn't want it, which made it somewhat depressed. It then thought of Little White as a Tier 10 monster who was about to achieve true incarnation. Suddenly, the idea popped into its mind that it could acknowledge Little White as its master! Its potential would be equally great!

In the future, it would appear in front of Little White's head like a small golden hairpin, adorning her cute and black hair!

Boom boom boom...

Hao Ren among the thick clouds slashed with his sword, pushing back hundreds of celestial soldiers.

The black dragon spear in Zhao Kuo's hand was like a cone-shaped four-edged sword, instantly shattering two celestial generals' armors.

Six celestial generals and several hundred celestial soldiers intended to capture Hao Ren for questioning but were met with resistance from Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo!

When Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo joined forces, they even dared to blind the eyes of Yazi. How could these celestial soldiers and generals hold them back

Not to mention there was a Black Qi Ink Qilin breathing out black qi!

These celestial soldiers and generals were simply unable to withstand their attacks and had to retreat while fighting.

Although they in the upper realms were immortal, it didn't mean that they wouldn't die in battle!

They could never have imagined that Hao Ren would dare resist his fate and not surrender.

Clink...

Hao Ren, Zhao Kuo, and Zhen Ciming in the form of a Black Qi Ink Qilin beat back the celestial soldiers and generals one wave after another, breaking through into the Fifth Firmament Sky!

These celestial soldiers and generals came from the heavenly realm through a transmission array but couldn't return to the heavens. They were driven by Hao Ren et al straight into the Fifth Firmament Sky.

The cultivators in the Fifth Firmament Sky saw several cultivators wearing gold and silver armor being defeated and scattered by two cultivators and an ink qilin with black luster...

Among them, three small sects near Mysterious Peak were shocked to such a degree that their eyeballs nearly popped out.

This person in the middle... wasn't he the old ancestor Herb King they served

The cultivators wearing gold and silver armor clearly weren't from this world or dragon army soldiers but rather upper realm cultivators!

One could sense it just by their armors' aura. Each set of armor glowed, radiating an aura akin to spiritual treasures.

Old Ancestor Herb King actually beat these upper realm cultivators back! And his aura... was already at the Nascent Soul stage!

Not to mention there was a Black Qi Ink Qilin helping him fight. Was this legendary creature not Old Ancestor Herb King's spirit beast

In that moment, these three small sects' cultivators didn't know whether it was good or bad.

Cultivators in the Fifth Firmament Sky were worth nothing. Not only could those from higher firmaments exterminate them under any pretext, even larger sects from the Fifth Firmament could do so with sufficient reason.

Offending the upper realms was something they didn't dare imagine!

Bang!

Hao Ren sent out a streak of sword light that instantly pushed away dozens of celestial soldiers. If not for their armors' quality comparable to spiritual treasures, these soldiers would have been unable to stand up.

"Haha, nothing more than this!" Zhao Kuo missed the fierce battle and returned to Donghai City just in time to help Hao Ren blind Yazi's eyes with his spear. Now he finally had a taste of bloodshed, forcing three golden-armored celestial generals to fly backward!

Gold and silver waves kept impacting Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo but were continuously repelled by them.

The cultivators of the Fifth Heavens watched as they broke through the barrier between the Fifth and Sixth Heavens, entering the Sixth Heaven.

Swish swish...

Hao Ren unleashed the Divine Needle Stabilizer, dispatching hundreds at a time. Zhao Kuo's black dragon spear was wielded by his two hands to create layer upon layer of black shadows, taking out three with each strike!

Zhen Cunming, having transformed into a Black Qilin, charged left and right, smashing the scattered Celestial soldiers and generals away. He had already recovered after swallowing the pills given to him by Qiuniu; while their armors may be robust, how could they compare to the scales of a Black Qilin Every strike shattered an armor!

Without protection from their armor, who would dare charge forward against Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo

The Lingwu Ancestor of Mount Tiandu Sect, along with the remaining core disciples in the Spirit Martial stage, were all in seclusion when they suddenly heard the commotion in the Sixth Heaven. They hurriedly flew out from their individual secret chambers.

When they saw Hao Ren leading the Black Qilin and smashing the Celestial soldiers and generals into a chaotic retreat, they instantly gawked in shock.

Hao Ren's sword qi had transformed into an eye-searing golden hue, seemingly merging with some kind of mystic treasure. Wherever that golden radiance passed, a Celestial soldier would be sent flying several thousand meters away!

As Hao Ren charged forward while enveloped in the golden glow, he seemed like a god!

Ring ring ring...

Suddenly, thousands of Celestial soldiers and dozens of Golden-armored generals appeared in the void.

"Ancestor, Ancestor..." The several Spirit Martial ancestors from Mount Tiandu Sect saw their ancestor Lingwu still floating midair and urgently reminded him.

But Lingwu was dumbfounded. Just as he was being tugged by a few charging Spirit Martial elders to hide in the mountains, Hao Ren's sword formation suddenly unleashed its might, forcing several thousand Celestial soldiers back!

In an instant, golden radiance blazed through the Sixth Heaven!

The Black Qilin carrying Hao Ren clashed with those towering generals. The mystic treasure in his hands—whether a staff or spear—emitted layer upon layer of sword techniques, disintegrating each general's armor one by one!

Legend had it that the Black Qilin was his mount; could it really defeat Celestial soldiers and generals Just how powerful must he be

The area where the golden staff passed through saw rows of Celestial soldiers tumbling like harvested stalks.

As Lingwu's body shook with surprise, Hao Ren burst through a cluster of Celestial soldiers and generals, riding on the Black Qilin's back. He directly smashed through the barrier to the Seventh Heaven!

Zhao Kuo followed closely behind Hao Ren.

Thousands of Celestial soldiers and generals pursued them. The Sixth Heaven was filled with a flurry of lights before suddenly falling silent.

Lingwu turned around, glancing at the Spirit Martial cultivators, only to realize that his entire body had been drenched in sweat.

The Transcendence-stage cultivators from the Seventh Heaven heard the commotion and were about to come out when they saw countless golden and silver rays flashing into their domain. The Sixth Heaven's forces seemed unstoppable!

These Transcendence-stage cultivators, who ranked as earth immortals by realm, found themselves mere mortals compared to the true immortals from the Celestial Realm.

One after another, they retreated far away; none wanted to be caught in this celestial conflict!

Zhao Kuo fought alongside Hao Ren and grew increasingly energized. With a burst of laughter, his spiritual energy surged out like waves from the dragon pearl and crystalline essence, nearly reaching the point where he could breakthrough.

Fighting these Celestial soldiers and generals gave him that fiery sensation he had felt when battling Su Han!

Damn heavens! I'll tear a hole through them!

Since you won't let me ascend to the Heavens, I'll make my own way there!

Misery, grievance, arrogance, wrath—all poured out in one go!

Bang...

Without any delay, Zhao Kuo and Hao Ren charged into the Eighth Heaven.

Dong dong dong...

The Celestial soldiers and generals collided against the barrier of the Eighth Heaven but couldn't break through. The Eighth Heaven's barrier was only penetrable by Transcendence-stage cultivators!

Hao Ren, a Transcendence-stage cultivator himself, easily shattered the barrier.

Bang...

With Black Qilin carrying him, Hao Ren left a trail of black light as he flew towards Shenzhao Sect's headquarters.

Zhao Kuo followed郝仁through the gap in the barrier that he had created and arrived at the Eighth Layer of Heaven, a place he had never been to before!

The cities resembled ancient prosperous empires, situated on both sides of rivers, while towering mountains hid individual training grounds for practitioners of the Sky Apex Dao.

"The Eighth Layer of Heaven! I've also been to the Eighth Layer of Heaven!" Zhao Kuo wiped away the steaming blood drops from his cheeks and shouted happily.

He had just engaged in a series of intense battles, but now he found himself in such a tranquil environment. His heart was still surging with excitement.

Swoosh…

Five cultivators at the Transcendence stage flew towards郝仁and Zhao Kuo.

The Eighth Layer of Heaven did not allow any cultivators outside the Sky Apex Dao to enter without permission!

Hearing that five Transcendents were flying over,郝仁considered Qingfeng’s feelings and refrained from attacking them.

He had fused the Divine Needle of the Eastern Sea with the Crystallized Heart of the Seven-petaled Five-color Lotus. After several fierce battles, he had developed a profound connection with his life-bound treasure. With a flick of his hand, five streaks of golden light shot out.

"A Celestial Treasure!"

The five Transcendents could not recognize the Divine Needle; they only felt that the artifact郝仁had launched was at least a celestial treasure and hurriedly defended themselves.

Boom!

Hearing his blood rushing to his head,郝仁’s Primordial Spirit connected with the Five-petaled Lotus. Just now, as he fought fervently, the five elemental energies in his body were wildly transformed; the divine might of the Divine Needle and his Elemental Crystallized Heart had fused completely!

"Five-petal lotus!"

The five Transcendents shouted in alarm and instantly moved ten thousand meters away.

This kid… Zhao Kuo looked at郝仁in astonishment. He hadn’t expected that besides refining the Divine Needle of the Eastern Sea,郝仁could also convert its divine energy! If he continued to advance like this, there was a chance for him to reach the Sixth-petal Lotus stage!

However, such advancement might not be very stable.

Hiss…

Holding Zhao Kuo up with his Divine Needle and utilizing the speed of the Black Qilin,郝仁brought him into the headquarters of the Sky Apex Dao in an instant!

Hum… Hum… Hum…

In midair, countless golden and silver talismans suddenly appeared. Just like fireflies fluttering over a summer mountain field.

The Talisman Array for the Five Elements of Life and Death.

This array contained the principles of yin-yang transformation as well as the five elements’ relationships with each other in terms of creation, destruction, generation, and overcoming.

"My mother is responsible for guarding the Eighth Layer of Heaven, which serves as a channel connecting to heaven. This is her duty." Qingfeng’s voice echoed over the shocked cultivation city.

“If you wish to enter heaven, then break through this array!” Qingfeng’s tone was soft yet suddenly turned stern.

The Eighth Layer of Heaven served as a necessary passage from the lower realm to the upper one. Passing through it would lead to the Nine Heavens, and breaking the void meant crossing the Nine Heavens to reach the upper realm beyond them. As such, the Sky Apex Dao was the most heaven-aligned cultivation sect, bearing responsibilities in separating the upper and lower realms.

Qingfeng wished she could let郝仁go, but her son was the leader of the Sky Apex Dao and she herself was its strongest cultivator, so it was necessary for her to stop郝仁. If he went up into the higher realm without defeating Xi Wangmu, there would be severe punishment. And since he held the key to Xiao Yujia’s happiness, Qingfeng wished from both a personal and public standpoint that郝仁would stop right here, leaving room for negotiation.

But as she thought this way,郝仁released infinite sword light and charged into her talisman array in the Sky Apex City!

Zhen Cunming’s Black Qilin emitted black rays of light that burned up all kinds of fragmented talismans.

The cultivators in the Sky Apex City watched in amazement as郝仁and his companions stormed into their city.

No one could tell when exactly the Sky Apex Dao was founded, but it predated those at the Seventh Layer to Fifth Layer of Heaven by a long time. In other words, they were on an entirely different level from them.

Originally, the Sky Apex Dao was an upper-world sect!

The cultivation sects below the Eighth Layer belonged to land-based ones, but as their conflicts involved Dragon Palace, and got dragged into it by dragon cultivators, they were expelled onto land and ascended high in the air with powerful magic.

With the Sky Apex Dao’s control over heavenly thunderbolts, even heavenly dragons and Transcendents could not casually enter. Moreover, none could enter the core of the sect—the Sky Apex City!

In the long history of the Sky Apex Dao, there had only been one demon king about a thousand years ago who once charged into the Sky Apex City, beating its cultivators to a pulp before breaking through the Eighth Layer and advancing to heaven.

However, now two people and an animal were forcefully charging into the Sky Apex City!

Buzz!

All the suspended talismans lit up in response to each other. These talismans could harness the power of heaven and earth to eliminate cultivators even at the stage of a six-petaled lotus, or even a seven-petaled one!

Division of Light Sword Shadows Technique!

Hao Ren used the Needle of Pacifying the Sea to produce an infinite variety of light.

The Five Elements Life and Death Talismans of Gentle Breeze Loose Taoist could completely counter Hao Ren's Division of Light Sword Shadows Technique, but Hao Ren had the best five-element mystic crystals as well as the best magic treasures; things were different now!

Zhao Kuo’s body emitted surging sword qi.

Charge through the array formation! If they’re going to charge, let them all do it together!

The gold and silver talismans suddenly transformed into five-colored talismans with flowing light, rearranging their positions according to changes in heaven’s constellations.

Swish-swish-swish…

Hao Ren's sword light combined with Zhao Kuo’s sword light and was shot out!

The sword lights were many, but the talismans were even more numerous!

Each talisman intercepted one sword light while the rest of them swarmed toward Hao Ren, Zhao Kuo, and the Black Qilin, aiming to penetrate their acupoints.

No one from Kunlun Mountain’s group of Nascent Soul cultivators dared attempt this talisman array formation, but Hao Ren and Zhao Kuo charged straight into its center!

"Go!"

Hao Ren waved his arm; the Needle of Pacifying the Sea shot toward the heavens. Then it transformed into countless clones that scattered like fireworks across Shenxiao City.

Sitting calmly in his small courtyard, Gentle Breeze Loose Taoist saw Hao Ren’s five-petaled lotus stage and knew he was relying on the power of the Needle of Pacifying the Sea to do this. He slowly shook his head but suddenly made a gesture.

The talismans spread throughout expansive Shenxiao City suddenly flew up, intercepting these countless light points that transformed into a cylinder aimed at the condensing Needle of Pacifying the Sea.

Hao Ren felt a dull ache in his chest and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Needle of Pacifying the Sea was his life-bound magic treasure; the clash with Gentle Breeze Loose Taoist’s heavenly talismans made his body unable to withstand it.

"Go!" Hao Ren urged them on.

Zhen Cunming, in his transformation as the Black Qilin, used the pair of horns on its forehead to lift Zhao Kuo and bolted toward the high platform at the center of Shenxiao City.

In an instant, billions of talismans suddenly dispersed across Shenxiao City before gradually vanishing into empty space.

Hao Ren knew that this was Auntie Gentle Breeze deliberately letting him pass while severely damaging his spirit as a lesson to let him know there were others beyond people and heaven. At the same time, it showed that she had fulfilled her duty of intercepting them.

Actually, Hao Ren also understood clearly that he and Zhao Kuo being able to damage Yazi's eyes was mainly due to Qiu Niu and Suan Ni acting together, Zhen Fei’s three people tightly restraining him, and Yazi becoming overconfident in his anger.

But… Hao Ren wouldn’t retreat because Auntie Gentle Breeze had warned him. At this point, he would fight no matter what!

Fight for a principle!

The Black Qilin moved almost at an indiscernible speed, drawing out a streak of black light as it charged to the platform and paused briefly before charging toward the ninth heaven!

If the Heavenly Realm wasn’t willing to let them go up there, they would lose themselves in endless empty space.

But Hao Ren wagered that they would certainly meet his challenge!

Zhen Cunming in his transformation as the Black Qilin had also thrown caution to the wind. He should have stayed with Wu Luoxue, living a peaceful life like a primary school student. But even his calm beast blood was ignited by Hao Ren!

Qiu Niu worried that Zhen Cunming, who grew up in chaotic Wan妖海 (Wan妖Sea), would cause trouble and thus strictly disciplined him; however, this kind of discipline couldn’t rein in Zhen Cunming’s arrogant nature!

The world was vast, perhaps only Wu Luoxue with her ice-cold intelligence could restrain Zhen Cunming.

Deep blackness radiated from his black Qilin claws, darker and deeper than endless empty space. The five-petaled lotus stage Black Qilin was already capable of breaking through void!

Hao Ren opened the pouch left by Qiu Niu and saw five red pills inside; without hesitation, he scooped one up and swallowed it. His injured meridians rapidly recovered—the pills were at least 10th-grade quality!

Whoosh…

Suddenly they appeared before an open Heavenly Gate!

The Heavenly Gate that Hao Ren had collapsed was now restored to its original condition, just like last time. No array formation had been set up as one would in a cultivation sect.

How could mere array formations stop cultivators who had made it this far

No heavily armed troops were waiting in anticipation; there weren’t even those first batch of Great Immortals blocking the door. Here was simply one cultivator with a hairy face and bright eyes.uarrel ensued. This was a rather common situation, but it escalated when Zhao Jiayin spoke rudely and threw a ball at them. As the basketball team’s members have short tempers, they ended up fighting....
