Chapter 152: The Dragon Appears and the Heavenly Dao Ranking List Collapses
After the Investiture of the Gods, for thousands of years, he was the only True Immortal.
This title is enough to suppress the current era.
No, it’s not just enough to suppress the current era.
I’m afraid, it can suppress the future for who knows how many years.

Three months later.
The coast of the East Sea.
One day, suddenly, a huge, incomparably ferocious dragon with limbs, broke into a town, killing everyone inside.
This dragon’s appearance doesn’t quite match traditional Chinese depictions; it’s more like an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex, essentially a sub-dragon species.
This Tyrannosaurus Rex kept causing destruction.
Some chivalrous martial artists wanted to go and slay the dragon, but they were immediately stunned at the first sight of it. This dragon was over ten meters tall and tens of meters long, simply a behemoth, and it could breathe fire.
Those who went to slay the dragon were all killed by the dragon.
This matter also spread quickly.
The Ming Dynasty immediately sent Li Rusong, who was ranked sixth on the Heaven List, to investigate. As a result, Li Rusong took one look at the dragon from afar and fled in terror.
At this point, the Ming Imperial Court also realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately organized people to start a rapid retreat, as far away as possible.
But the speed of evacuation was definitely not as fast as the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s movement speed.
Town after town was destroyed by the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
A large number of people died at the hands of the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
The Ming Imperial Court was feeling quite helpless.
While the people of the Ming Dynasty were in a panic.
The only True Immortal of this era, Peng Feng, arrived!
As soon as Peng Feng heard about this Tyrannosaurus Rex, he immediately understood that this should be the dragon that Xu Fu wanted to slay in *Wind and Cloud II*.
For some unknown reason, this dragon actually ran to the coast to cause trouble.
Of course, he had to kill this dragon.
Moreover, with Xu Fu’s strength, he wouldn’t dare provoke this dragon either. He only dared to come and slay this dragon when its strength decreased on the unique day of the Jingrui Sun every six hundred years. So, the strength of this dragon is probably destined to be above the Loose Immortal Realm.
With this analysis, only he himself could slay this dragon.
Therefore, he came.
Peng Feng, holding the Sun Devouring Blade, stood on the earth.
Finally, in front of him, that sub-dragon species, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which was tens of meters long and over ten or twenty meters tall, finally appeared.
This Tyrannosaurus Rex was overall black in color.
It had a ferocious and blood-red mouth, sharp teeth, and as it opened and closed its mouth, a high-temperature flame of tens of thousands of degrees spewed out from it.
Peng Feng held his blade, his expression calm: “You actually dared to come to the Central Plains to seek death, then I will grant you a quick death.”
Having said that.
Man and blade became one, and he slashed out.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex instantly realized that this human in front of it was very strange, different from the humans it had eaten before. The Tyrannosaurus Rex instantly spat out a high-temperature flame of tens of thousands of degrees.
Peng Feng was completely enveloped by the flames.
However,
The next moment.
Peng Feng had already passed through the flames unscathed.
With one slash, he struck the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s body.
This Tyrannosaurus Rex, in theory, only had seven weaknesses, and the rest of its body was invulnerable to blades and spears. But Peng Feng was the only True Immortal of this era. This slash carried the power of a True Immortal, directly cutting a blood mark nearly five or six meters long on the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s body.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was stunned. In its long life, no one had ever hurt it so deeply. For the first time in its dragon life, a look of fear appeared on its face.
Therefore, it turned and fled.
“Evil beast, you want to escape after killing people. How laughable.” Peng Feng sneered, already chasing directly after it, slashing at the Tyrannosaurus Rex with one blade after another.
โโโ
The Tyrannosaurus Rex could also be considered a top-tier combatant in this era, with a strength of the tenth level of the Loose Immortal Realm, but its fate was not good. It encountered Peng Feng, the only True Immortal in thousands of years.
After a short while, the Tyrannosaurus Rex’s huge dragon body directly collapsed onto the ground, dead.
And the most valuable thing on its entire body was naturally its Dragon Core.
Peng Feng easily found the Dragon Core.
It was a Dragon Core as big as a basketball, emitting a brilliant golden light.
In the original *Wind and Cloud* story, the Dragon Core was divided into seven parts.
Then, these seven parts of the Dragon Core, besides increasing a person’s lifespan, could actually increase a person’s lifespan.
Peng Feng carefully examined the Dragon Core in his hand and found that this thing should be able to increase lifespan by three thousand five hundred years. If it was divided into seven parts, then each part could increase lifespan by five hundred years.
Peng Feng thought about it and decided to cut the Dragon Core in half, eat half and keep half. The other half might be useful in the future.
He then consumed the Dragon Core.
Immediately, he felt an extremely violent energy spreading throughout his body, and a beastly nature that was extremely fierce was also spreading in his heart. In the original story, Duan Lang ate two-sevenths of the Dragon Core and eventually couldn’t control this beastly nature, becoming a half-dragon, half-human hybrid.
However, how could a mere beastly nature do anything to him?
After Peng Feng consumed half of the Dragon Core, he only felt his strength constantly improving, from the third level of the True Immortal Realm, he directly broke through to the fifth level of the True Immortal Realm. This improvement was quite significant.
Wait!
Not good!
Peng Feng suddenly felt his head was extremely dizzy.
This familiar feeling… the Dragon Core activated a part of the Phoenix Blood’s ability, and his own Phoenix Blood was going to fall asleep to adapt to the Dragon Core, causing him to fall asleep again.
Before falling asleep, Peng Feng immediately flew hundreds of kilometers away, found an uninhabited valley, and fell into a deep sleep.

In 1591 AD, an evil dragon appeared on the East Sea. Peng Feng, the only True Immortal of this era, fought against the evil dragon. After this battle, the evil dragon was slain. The dragon’s corpse was unimaginably huge, causing people to marvel. The only True Immortal of this era disappeared without a trace.
In early 1592 AD, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth suddenly decreased rapidly, and martial artists could hardly absorb any spiritual energy.
In this way, although the strength of martial artists would not disappear, they could no longer improve.
For a time, martial artists were extremely terrified, not knowing why such a change had occurred in the world.
In August 1592 AD, the Heavenly Dao Three Rankings in the sky suddenly shattered, turning into countless fragments. That is to say, the Heavenly Dao Three Rankings, which had started in 1107 AD, had officially become history after experiencing four hundred and eighty-five years.
Moreover, there was another change at this time. The lifespan-increasing effect of practicing martial arts seemed to have disappeared. Martial artists had the same lifespan as those who had never practiced.
As time passed, powerful martial artists passed away one after another.
In 1620 AD, the last martial artist above the Divine Strength Realm passed away.
The world officially entered an era without martial artists.
And in the martial artist era, firearms and cannons, which even a Diamond Realm martial artist couldn’t handle, suddenly became the strongest power in the world.
The era of martial artists receded.
The era of firearms arrived.
By 1640 AD.
At this time, more than twenty years had passed since the era of martial artists, and there were no martial artists left in this era.
People of this era, upon seeing ancient books that recorded martial artists being able to fly through the sky and escape on earth, split mountains and cut rivers, couldn’t help but laugh: “The ancients really liked to brag. How could people possibly fly through the sky and escape on earth, split mountains and cut rivers? No matter how strong a martial artist was, they would definitely die after a volley of gunfire.”
“Oh right, the ancients also liked to talk nonsense, saying that there was an undying myth, that someone lived from the Northern Song Dynasty all the way to the Ming Dynasty. How laughable, how could anyone possibly live that long?”
This volume is over, and the next volume will start soon.
In the next volume, only the protagonist will be completely unaffected, officially entering the era of firearms.
