The water roared and surged towards the ancient Taoist temple, submerging everything in its path. Another powerful being shot out two divine beams from his eyes, like blades splitting the heavens and earth, slashing directly at the temple. Instantly, endless, dazzling light surged forth like a raging torrent. Many cultivators were swept away like ants by this violent energy wave. Even those who retreated far were not spared, all caught in the surging aftershocks. The same was true where Li Jie stood; rocks tumbled wildly, and vegetation snapped in two. The violent power made the space around him extremely unstable, filling him with horror. This immortal ruin was terrifying beyond compare; even after countless years of erosion, it still unleashed an astonishingly powerful force. The surging energy, like a world-destroying torrent, raged in all directions, seemingly threatening to devour the entire world. Such world-destroying power was beyond imagination; it was impossible to fathom the unparalleled, all-powerful divine abilities possessed by the immortal who built this Taoist temple!

    A tribute to Er Gen! 🐥🙊🙉🙈🐵 9.4 Points, 1.6 Million words. "Nine-Rank Weapon Refiner" is deeply influenced by my idol, Er Gen. It can be said that this is a fantasy novel paying homage to him. Its story framework borrows from "A Thought Through Eternity." This is because the protagonist, Qian Duoduo, like Bai Xiaochun, is a typical rural boy. However, Qian Duoduo's personality is completely different from Bai Xiaochun's. Their paths to immortality are completely different. While the starting point and ending point of cultivating immortality from mortal to supreme being are similar, the "path" they use is entirely different. Dear readers, please see how Qian Duoduo portrays a completely new "Bai Xiaochun."
