Chapter 313: Ascending to the Divine Ascension Hall, Battle Against the Demon Essence
Man Xiong made his move.
Without looking back, Yang Ji's figure flashed, instantly transforming into three phantoms, with his true body swiftly advancing hundreds of yards forward, while the two phantoms that remained were shattered by two golden fist shadows.
Only then did Yang Ji turn his head to look, just in time to see Man Xiong enveloped in a sphere of golden light, his size having explosively increased by more than threefold, and the aura he emitted became as fierce and tangible as never before.
"Hmph, you do react quite quickly!" Man Xiong's eyes turned cold as he suddenly burst out in a shout, and a myriad of golden rays radiated from his body, his figure quickly swelling several more times.
"Are you of the royal lineage among the barbarians, the Golden Barbarian? Savage God Golden Body—a powerful body cultivation technique?" Yang Ji's eyes brightened, and he grew interested.
"Hmph, you are somewhat knowledgeable!" A cold look on Man Xiong's face, his protective barbarian energy popped and crackled as his single arm became a blur, and a mountain-sized golden fist shadow punched towards Yang Ji through the air.
Yang Ji's expression remained unchanged. The Humanoid Weapon activated, with golden runes subtly emerging on his skin, and he threw a straightforward punch at the incoming golden fist shadow.
With a "boom,"
the two fist shadows collided, and the tremendous force sent ripples through the void, spreading outwards in all directions.
The two bursts of light then unexpectedly dissipated simultaneously, turning into nothingness.

Their strengths were evenly matched, neither one conceding defeat!
"Your strength is not bad!" Yang Ji smiled, but Man Xiong's brows furrowed slightly, irritation brewing within him.
To know, he was blessed with an extraordinary skeletal structure, having specialized in body cultivation for thousands of years. Now, even when utilizing the unparalleled body cultivation technique "Savage God Golden Body," his strength was still no match for Yang Ji.
After a few moments of thought, a fierce glint flickered in his eyes, and he began to murmur an incantation.
Suddenly, the golden light on Man Xiong rose again, and pale blue strange patterns emerged on the surface of his skin. The sinews and bones within him resonated, his body size further increased by three parts, and his aura underwent a change, gaining an added air of ferocity.
"Ancient barbaric runes?" Seeing this, a flash of recognition crossed Yang Ji's eyes, and he dared not take it lightly, promptly stimulating the Immortal Qi within him, making the golden runes on his body glow even more intensely.
At that moment, the massive figure of Man Xiong leaped into the air, hurtling straight towards Yang Ji from above, sweeping his huge arm across, causing the giant fist to blur slightly and, likewise, transformed into seven or eight indistinguishable golden fist shadows, pummeling towards Yang Ji once again.
With a "boom"!
After Yang Ji's figure blurred, he suddenly disappeared into the distance, and the space where he stood collapsed amidst a burst of golden light, shredding apart.
But as soon as Yang Ji reacted, Man Xiong made another swift move to pounce, his giant fist flickering with golden light.
At the sight of this, Yang Ji chuckled, his body shook violently, creating three phantoms, not retreating but instead advancing to meet the attack.
Man Xiong's fist shadow surged, shattering another phantom, but as soon as the phantom dispersed, another new phantom immediately materialized!
With a "boom" of an explosion!
Taking advantage of Man Xiong's brief moment of distraction, Yang Ji's true body eerily appeared behind him, the Destruction Hand Seal directly striking his back.
Caught off guard, Man Xiong's body was hit by a massive force and was sent flying backward, tumbling a thousand yards away.
He pushed himself up with his arms, and then, with a "puh," he spat out a large mouthful of blood. The golden light on his body quickly faded, the Savage God Golden Body was broken by a single punch, and his body deflated like a leak, shrinking back to normal size in moments, and his aura seemed to weaken as well.
"The Savage God Golden Body isn't bad. If I'm not mistaken, the Cultivation Technique you're practicing is incomplete, unable to fully unleash your latent potential—it's quite a pity."
"If you chose to contend with me using another Immortal Technique, perhaps there might have been the chance for a few more exchanges. But you wanted to vent the frustration in your heart with a show of force. I'm afraid that wish is going to fall through now."
A few yards away, a faint voice came through, and the three phantoms blurred into one person, then with a flash, appeared several yards further away, hands behind his back, standing erect. It was Yang Ji.
Man Xiong's face flushed with a mix of green and red. His pride, the Savage God Golden Body, was dismissed as worthless, and a well of blood pooled in his chest, spurting out with a "puh." At that moment, he somewhat understood Ancestor Lieyan's feelings.
"I'll take no more of your challenges; farewell!" Yang Ji glanced down at the Hidden World Family below, waved his sleeve, and gathered them all into the Mount Sea World, "Your treasures and I were fated. I accept them and have protected you once."
With that, he turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.
While in flight, messages from Wang Tianli and others came through.
"Junior Brother, the Chunyang Dao Sect has been rescued by us. We'll split up and proceed to assist the other Dao Sects."
"Alright, I'll head to the Divine Ascension Hall!" Yang Ji replied, shifting direction towards the Divine Ascension Hall.
At this time, like the other Dao Sects, the Divine Ascension Hall too was desperately hanging on.
The attackers here, same as at the Wuji Dao Sect, numbered one hundred fifty Heavenly Demons, among them three leading Heavenly Demons.
As Yang Ji stepped in, a Heavenly Demon was just tearing open their Sect Protection Array.
"Huh? Someone is coming." The three top Heavenly Demons, each enhanced by the power of forty-nine lesser Heavenly Demons, suddenly turned around, frowning as they looked towards Yang Ji.
"Such strong energy!"
"Leave him to me; you all go deal with the people of the Divine Ascension Hall."
Among the three top Heavenly Demons, the most powerful one, Demon Lord, stepped forward, unleashing the Demonic Qi within his body without any reservation. In an instant, the sky took on a darker cast, and even the Spiritual Energy of the entire space became frenzied.
