The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 537 Ascending to Heaven! Diving into Earth!
Boom!

The cliffs trembled, and rocks flew everywhere.

Murong Fu's body was embedded firmly in a crater several meters wide in the stone wall, his head drooping and his eyes half-closed.

As his chest rose and fell, white air currents were inhaled and exhaled from his two nostrils.

"That's really... infuriating!"

Murong Fu muttered to himself, straightened his back, raised his head, and immediately broke free from the pit in the stone wall.

The seven dim stars, which had been almost compressed to the surface of his body, began to shine brightly again, slowly swirling and dancing around his body and lifting him into the void.

"My martial arts skills are getting further and further behind those of Master Xu; this is truly unbelievable."

Murong Fu murmured unwillingly.

next moment.

The seven stars transformed into seven streams of light, carrying his body as they soared into the sky once more.

above the sky.

Just as Xu Xingchen used his several-foot-long red ribbon to send Murong Fu flying, he heard a thunderous roar beside him, and at the same time, his hair began to stand on end like a frizzy mess.

Turning my head, I saw a lightning dragon, its surface crackling with bluish-white electric light, tearing through the sky and rushing towards me in an instant.

Xiao Feng had extremely rich combat experience, and upon seeing Xu Xingchen make a move, he immediately took the initiative to attack.

The timing was perfect.

Xu Xingchen had no time to dodge or even react before being struck by the several-meter-long lightning dragon.

Click!
A deafening roar of lightning and thunder filled the air, and bluish-white electric light spread out in all directions, baring its fangs and claws.

After Murong Fu transformed into a meteor and fell off the cliff, Xu Xingchen transformed into a second lightning meteor, crashing down towards a grove of trees near the mountaintop.

Click!

His body crashed into the dense canopy of a large tree, causing countless branches and leaves to explode and fly everywhere, accompanied by crackling and flashing electrical currents.

Click!

Its body pierced through the dense canopy of trees, then smashed into a large tree that would take three people to encircle, snapping it in half. The jagged, broken wood was charred black by the power of the lightning.

It even burst into flames with a "whoosh".

Boom!

Xu Xingchen's body then crashed into the grass below.

Dirt flew everywhere, dust billowed, and a huge crater was blasted open.

above the sky.

As Xu Xingchen, the master, departed, the power of the three-zhang green mountain and the two magnetic rings he controlled immediately diminished.

A glint flashed in Wu Yazi's eyes, and the black water tornado immediately unleashed its power, blowing the three-zhang-high green mountain above its head away, flying in an arc into the distance.

After completely escaping Xu Xingchen's perception range, it exploded into a vast and mighty blue whirlwind with a bang.

Wu Xingyun unleashed another Tianshan Six Yang Palm, sending the Yuan Magnetic Ring, whose speed had been greatly reduced, hurtling out and exploding into a black and white ring of energy in the distance.

Li Qiushui's response was similar.

Among the three elders of Xiaoyao, the one who launched the first counterattack against Xu Xingchen was actually Li Qiushui.

Relying on the astonishing speed of her White Rainbow Palm technique, she suddenly plummeted from the sky, like a white lightning bolt plunging straight into the pit below.

A muffled boom resounded.

The ground trembled, dirt flew everywhere, and the crater that Xu Xingchen had blasted open expanded even further.

"Huh, what about people?"

From the bottom of the swirling, dusty pit, came Li Qiushui's puzzled voice.

Not far away, a cloud of dust and dirt, several meters high, suddenly erupted from the ground. A bluish-green energy shot out from within, instantly reaching the sky above the pit and condensing into a three-meter-high green mountain before crashing down.

Bang~~!

The ground shook again.

The billowing smoke and dust instantly became several times thicker.

The pit below expanded again, overturning several large trees around it. The thick roots, like dragons breaking free from their restraints, lashed out wildly amidst the billowing dust.

"So, you traveled here from underground!"

Among the three swift figures swooping down from the sky, Wu Xingyun was at the forefront. With a cold shout, he suddenly struck down with his jade-like palm.

A white palm print the size of a millstone shot out, splitting into six parts midway. The five palm prints, like five petals, spun around the central "stamen," resembling a blooming white plum blossom, before crashing down into a spot in the rising dust.

Bang!
The billowing smoke and dust exploded into undulating waves, causing the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees to bend and sway violently.

Xu Xingchen, who had been hiding inside, revealed himself, surrounded by black and white divine dragons that formed a solid magnetic ring.

The white plum blossom-shaped Tianshan Six Yang Palm landed on the Yuan Magnetic Ring.

The Yuan Magnetic Ring trembled slightly and contracted once, then shuddered outwards, instantly shattering the Tianshan Six Yang Palms into streaks of white light arrows that shot out in all directions, scattering the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees into pieces, with wood chips flying everywhere.

However.
One after another, the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan descended from the sky, carrying a powerful and domineering force as they rushed towards Xu Xingchen.

Buzzing.
The magnetic ring vibrates incessantly.

Thump thump thump thump thump thump.
The sounds of explosive energy and roars were incessant.

All of the Tianshan Six Yang Palms were disintegrated into beams of white light, scattering outwards.

Just at this time.

Wu Yazi, who was right behind Wu Xingyun, also made a move.

Knowing that his other martial arts skills were no match for Xu Xingchen, he immediately used the most powerful technique of the Xiaoyao Sect: the Northern Darkness Divine Art.

He raised his palm and pushed down.

A vast, surging black wave of energy erupted, instantly condensing into a swirling black waterspout that swept down upon Xu Xingchen below.

Xu Xingchen, who had just used his Yuan Magnetic Ring to shatter several Tianshan Six Yang Palms, was caught in the black water tornado that descended from the sky before he could dodge.

The black waterspout, carrying Xu Xingchen, continued to surge downwards, crushing countless lush tree canopies and breaking one thick, strong tree after another.

Just as Xu Xingchen was about to be crushed like an ant onto a huge, sloping boulder below.

Xu Xingchen stomped down with both feet, the huge impact causing his feet to sink deep into the rocks, and fine cracks appeared around his footprints.

But it also stopped his downward momentum!

Xu Xingchen's clothes billowed like sails, her long black hair danced wildly, and her eyes flashed with a sharp light like lightning.

He raised his hands to the sky, and the magnetic ring that had been surrounding him appeared above his head, transforming into a circle about ten feet in diameter, buzzing and spinning, firmly resisting the pressure of the black water tornado.

Click!Click!
The sound of lightning and thunder shook the mountains and forests.

A dragon of lightning drew a zigzag bluish-white trail in the air, quickly fell into the forest, leaped and flashed between several large trees, and pounced on Xu Xingchen's side in an instant.

"Ouch~~~~!"

The dragon's roar was deafening.

A broad, thick hand, wreathed in bluish-white lightning, appeared and disappeared within the head of the lightning dragon.

The next moment, it pierced through Xu Xingchen's figure and slammed into the huge, sloping rock behind him.

Boom!

Pebbles flew everywhere.

The bluish-white lightning crackled and danced, causing the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees to tremble and quickly turn black, but it failed to touch Xu Xingchen's figure.

But it turns out...

Just before Xiao Feng's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms attack arrived, Xu Xingchen shattered the Yuan Magnetic Ring, and the power he unleashed temporarily resisted the crushing force of the black water tornado above his head. At the same time, he used the Lingbo Weibu's "Shadow Clone" technique, leaving behind a lifelike clone in place while his real body suddenly flashed several feet away.

During this time, Xu Xingchen also comprehended the extraordinary technique of "shadow clone" from the Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique). *Pfft!*

A slight noise.

A white rainbow burst forth from the ground and appeared at Xu Xingchen's feet, who happened to be nearby.

At that moment, it was as supple as a giant white python, nimbly wrapping around Xu Xingchen's ankles.

And it rapidly climbed and wrapped around the calves, knees, and thighs.

This was another variation of the White Rainbow Palm Force that Xu Xingchen had never seen before.

With his lower body tightly bound by Bai Hong's palm force, Xu Xingchen immediately lost the ability to move.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that Li Qiushui actually copied me, breaking through the soil at the bottom of the pit and quietly getting beneath me."

Before Xu Xingchen could finish her exclamation, a terrifying sound suddenly came from nearby.

Like a cannonball fired, it broke through the air barrier, leaving a piercing shriek in the wind.

Murong Fu flew nearby, using the seven stars around him as a bow and arrow, and forcefully drew the Star Bow, shooting out a Star Arrow.

Arrows of stars, shining brightly, chasing stars and the moon.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived within three zhang of Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen flicked his wrist and threw out a Yuan Magnetic Ring, which collided with the Star Arrow.

Dang~~~!

Amidst the resounding clang of a great bell, a burst of energy exploded outwards.

The arrow of starlight shot back.

The magnetic ring also traced an arc as it shot in another direction, colliding violently with a hand as white as jade.

Dang~~~!

Another resounding bell rang out.

The Yuan Magnetic Ring, which had been hastily parrying, lacked sufficient force and was sent flying by a palm strike from the rapidly approaching Wu Xingyun.

It pierced through the trunks of three large trees, broke off a branch of a large tree with lush foliage, and shot rapidly towards the horizon, exploding into a raging storm in the distance.

Taking advantage of this fleeting moment, Xu Xingchen tried to break free from the white rainbow beneath her.

However, the white rainbow abandoned its offensive power and focused on the binding force of entangling and trapping, making it impossible for Xu Xingchen to break free for the time being.

Murong Fu drew his Star Bow again and fired a second Star Arrow.

From another direction, a lightning dragon flashed and darted among the trees, rapidly approaching.

Above their heads, a black waterspout twisted and turned, carrying a vast and powerful force, and once again pressed down.

Only Wu Xingyun, who had knocked away the Yuan Magnetic Ring with a single palm strike, hesitated for a moment, but then stepped on a large tree and transformed into a gust of wind, charging forward once again.

They were surrounded and attacked by five people.

Xu Xingchen seemed to have no room to hide.

But Xu Xingchen's reaction exceeded the expectations of the five people present.

He was drawn downwards by the force of the white rainbow binding and pulling him.

During the rapid descent, a several-foot-long red ribbon with dragon patterns outlined in gold thread burst forth from his body, spinning and dancing rapidly around him.

In the blink of an eye, the several-foot-long red silk ribbon transformed into a spindle shape with a sharp bottom, a rounded middle, and a similarly sharp top.

The sharp shuttle formed from the red silk spun rapidly.

The moment it touched the ground, it was like a hot knife cutting through butter, carrying Xu Xingchen swiftly into the depths of the soil.

Li Qiushui, who was hiding in the underground soil, obviously did not expect Xu Xingchen to crawl in again.

A fierce battle immediately broke out between them and Xu Xingchen underground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground shook like ocean waves, rising and falling, making a loud rumbling sound.

A dozen or so large trees nearby were leaning precariously, their thick roots bursting free from the soil and whipping wildly through the air.

Some huge rocks, buried deep in the soil, also sprang out in pieces, like projectiles launched from a catapult, flying in all directions.

above.

The four men, Wu Yazi, Wu Xingyun, Xiao Feng, and Murong Fu, whose attacks missed, could not see the battle taking place underground and had to temporarily halt their offensive.

"Let's split up and see where Master Xu will rush out from!"

Xiao Feng offered a suggestion.

The other four exchanged a glance and immediately dispersed to the surroundings.

They were all wise people, and naturally understood that Xiao Feng's suggestion was very reasonable.

They spread out, closely monitoring the surrounding ground. If Xu Xingchen emerged from anywhere underground, and the person nearby could hold him off for a moment, the others would immediately arrive and launch an attack.

The ground trembled, muffled and like thunder.

In just a few breaths, a huge hole suddenly appeared in the ground, and a large amount of soil shot up into the sky like an inverted waterfall. A white figure flashed out from it.

The guards up there had sharp eyes and immediately recognized the white figure.

It was Li Qiushui, who else could it be?!
obviously.

In the brief underground confrontation, Li Qiushui was no match for Xu Xingchen and was forced to the surface by him.

The others immediately focused their attention, staring intently at the ground below, searching for any activity underground.

Li Qiushui spun around like the wind, her feet landing lightly on the branches of a nearby tree. As her clothes billowed, all the mud and dust that had been clinging to them were swept away, restoring them to their original clean state.

"This kid's martial arts skills are too strong; I can't hold him back by myself."

Li Qiushui's alluring and seductive face turned extremely serious at this moment.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the ground began to change again.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One after another, plumes of dust and mud shot into the sky, their astonishing force overturning large trees and scattering rocks buried deep in the soil.

The scene became incredibly chaotic.

"Be careful that kid doesn't take advantage of the chaos."

Wu Xingyun gave a reminder, and his gaze, which had been constantly scanning the surrounding ground, suddenly sharpened. He swung his palms in quick succession, swiftly unleashing six Heavenly Mountain Six Yang Palm imprints.

Each of the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan split into six halfway through, transforming into spinning white plum blossoms.

Wherever you go.

All the smoke and dust were blown away, revealing Xu Xingchen underneath.

Xu Xingchen looked up at Wu Xingyun, his face as calm as a lake, letting the six Heavenly Mountain Six Yang Palms strike him without dodging or flinching.

"That figure is fake!"

Wu Xingyun frowned and stopped his palm strikes.

as predicted.

When those Tianshan Six Yang Palm imprints touched Xu Xingchen's body, it was as if a bubble had been popped, the power lost its way, and crashed into the ground below, creating huge craters.

The figure vanished into the billowing dust.

Wu Xingyun immediately looked up and glanced elsewhere, while loudly warning, "Be careful, he might use his clone technique to confuse us."

Her reminder came a little too late.

The others had already made their moves, attacking the billowing dust below.
