Huangxiu

Chapter 1239 Devouring
The true essence desperately suppressed this violent power, while the wondrous pure spiritual water flickered endlessly in his mind.

He felt as if he were in the midst of a raging storm, as fragile as a leaf, about to be swept away at any moment.

The Dragon Bell slowly emerged.

From the ancestral aperture between his eyebrows, pure and vast spiritual power surged forth, part of which entered the golden sword and part of which was used to control the Dragon Soaring Bell.

He and the golden sword both hovered in the air, trembling and flashing.

His body flashed with white, purple, and golden light in succession.

The golden sword shimmered with golden light incessantly.

He suddenly formed a hand seal.

Above the void, the Demon-Subduing Divine Tree appeared, its transparent and pure branches swaying gently, scattering starlight.

Starlight fell upon his body and into the blade of the golden sword.

The golden light suddenly intensified.

Even so, the berserk power was not completely eliminated and continued its relentless attacks.

It simply created a standoff.

Chu Zhiyuan shook his head inwardly.

I underestimated this golden scepter; it truly lives up to its reputation as a rare treasure on par with the Myriad Pure Water.

It's not that easy to deal with.

Despite employing every possible means, they were unable to completely suppress the enemy and were forced into a stalemate.

He gritted his teeth, and an idea struck him.

A vast and pure spiritual energy surged into the golden sword, causing it to emit a brilliant white light.

It slowly pushes the power derived from the accumulation of merit to its limit.

"laugh!"

It transformed into a beam of white light and shot back into the raging river.

"Clang..." A golden light burst forth.

The golden sword was once again deflected from the river, shot towards him, and stopped beside him, flashing intensely.

A violent force coursed through the sword, surging and threatening to destroy it.

Chu Zhiyuan formed a hand seal, his expression solemn.

A portal of light appeared in the void, and Chu Liezhao appeared, his hands forming a seal, pointing towards the raging river.

A section of the raging river suddenly rose into the air, and the golden scepter was among it.

Chu Zhiyuan looked up.

In the void, a colossal golden dragon roamed among the clouds.

Chu Liezhao formed a hand seal, and a small golden dragon, about the length of an arm, materialized in front of him.

Above the void, the enormous golden dragon suddenly exhaled a breath.

The breath transformed into a ball of golden light and landed on the little golden dragon.

The little golden dragon instantly shone with golden light, then quickly receded back into itself.

It instantly became solid and hard, as if it were cast from purple gold.

Its purplish-gold luster is dull, exuding a calm and restrained air.

It then transformed into a beam of purple-gold light, shooting towards the golden scepter suspended in mid-air.

The golden scepter and a section of river resemble a giant block of ice suspended in mid-air.

Upon colliding with the purple-gold dragon, the golden scepter once again emitted a dazzling golden light.

Chu Zhiyuan had already suppressed the violent power within his body and the golden sword. Seeing this, he once again urged the golden sword to shoot out.

"boom!"

Jin Guang surged again.

The golden scepter possesses extremely high power, and is exceptionally domineering and ruthless.

His true energy was almost impossible to suppress.

However, the spiritual energy in the Outer Heaven where Chu Liezhao resides is even more abundant, and the true essence he cultivates is also purer and stronger.

Moreover, he used not only his true essence but also the power of his bloodline.

The essence of the Heavenly Dragon's Guidance is bloodline power, and its level is extremely high.

He couldn't suppress his true essence, but the power of the golden sword, transformed from merit, was different, and with the help of the wondrous pure spiritual water, it was even more powerful.

Under the combined attack of the two forces, the golden scepter no longer posed a threat and grew weaker and weaker.

……

Fifteen minutes later, the light emanating from the golden scepter dimmed to almost invisible.

Chu Liezhao stepped through the portal and disappeared.

Only the golden sword was attacking the golden scepter in mid-air.

Chu Zhiyuan's spiritual power seemed inexhaustible, and the golden sword continued to evolve in the process.

Under extreme pressure, it grows extremely fast and transforms rapidly.

"Swoosh!" In the next moment, the golden sword pierced through the golden scepter and went straight through.

The golden sword instantly burst forth with golden light.

Golden light enveloped the golden scepter.

The golden scepter also emitted golden light, which merged with the golden light of the golden sword.

The golden light became brighter and brighter.

The golden scepter was constantly emitting stronger golden light, becoming brighter and brighter, to the point that it was too dazzling to look at directly.

Under the super-sensory light, the golden scepter was rapidly shrinking while emitting golden light.

It was as if it had transformed itself into golden light and merged into the golden light of the golden sword.

After the golden light reached its peak, it slowly faded and dimmed.

After a cup of tea, the golden light completely disappeared into the golden sword.

Chu Zhiyuan felt the jubilation and cheers emanating from the golden sword, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile.

He felt a power that far surpassed the strength he had previously possessed.

After the golden sword swallowed the golden scepter, it made rapid progress and underwent a qualitative change.

Especially spirituality.

It's as if he suddenly grew from a three-year-old to a ten-year-old.

It leaps and cheers with joy at its own growth, suddenly taking flight and dancing in the air.

Chu Zhiyuan's mind stirred slightly, and it suddenly shot out, shooting farther and farther until it stopped at the mountain peak three miles away.

Under its heightened senses, it circled a tree branch on the mountaintop several times without damaging a single leaf.

A moment later, it flew back to Chu Zhiyuan and hovered in mid-air, still beaming with joy.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head.

The golden sword is becoming increasingly spiritual, making it easier and less stressful to wield.

If this continues, in the future, one won't even need to lift a finger to kill; a single thought will be enough to take someone's head from miles away.

These are the magical techniques I read about in books from my previous life.

He reached out and touched the golden sword, but the serene water remained calm.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

That's the biggest concern. The origin and background of this golden scepter are unknown, it's very strange, and it may even possess its own spirituality.

Its contribution to the growth of the Golden Sword far surpasses the combined effect of all the statues of the Undying Evil Lords.

The previous joint attack shattered its spirituality, and finally the golden sword devoured its material, the immortal golden essence.

This immortal golden essence is different from the statue of the immortal evil lord.

In hindsight, there are no future problems.

……

When he returned to his courtyard, Dong Muyu and Li Hongzhao were still talking non-stop.

The two of them seemed to have endless things to talk about, and remained animated and cheerful.

"Junior brother, where have you been?" Dong Muyu asked casually.

Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. Senior Sister, are you going down the mountain?"

"Wait a little longer." Dong Muyu's eyes lit up as she smiled. "Let's go down the mountain when we're more confident, so we don't run into any trouble."

Chu Zhiyuan nodded.

Li Hongzhao smiled and said, "After this incident with the evil spirits, the world should be able to rest for a while. Senior Sister, you really shouldn't rush down the mountain."

Dong Muyu smiled and said, "I was in a hurry at first, but when I saw the two of you, I wasn't so anxious anymore."

Li Hongzhao was puzzled.

Dong Muyu said, "I used to be competitive, but seeing the two of you, I suddenly felt at ease and was no longer so impetuous."

Li Hongzhao chuckled and asked, "Senior Sister, you're not discouraged?"

“I used to think that I was exceptionally talented and a chosen one of heaven, so I always worked hard to cultivate. I felt that if I didn’t work hard, I would be ashamed of my talent. Now I think that there is no need to work too hard to cultivate. It’s better to take it easy.”

"Senior sister has a high level of comprehension," Li Hongzhao said with a radiant smile.

Dong Muyu rolled her eyes at her: "I have to be quick to understand things, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get by, especially with my junior brother!"

Li Hongzhao has phoenix blood, there's nothing more to say about that, it's something to envy.

Chu Zhiyuan, however, had no bloodline, yet his progress was even greater; he was an extremely pure genius.

So this is what a peerless genius looks like; my own genius is just ordinary.

With this realization, all her pressure vanished, and she suddenly became carefree and at ease, finding joy in spiritual practice.

"By the way, junior brother, Senior Brother Chonglou was seriously injured and fled back to the sect a couple of days ago." Dong Muyu's smile faded, and he frowned, saying, "He was seriously injured, and his cultivation was ruined."

Chu Zhiyuan asked, "Senior Brother Chonglou?"

“He is also a prodigy in our sect. He went down the mountain before you came, so you haven’t seen him before.”

Chu Zhiyuan frowned: "Who did this?"
