Embers of Sword

Chapter 506 Killing the Dragon
The main hall collapsed, and flames flickered.

One figure stood upright, while another knelt in obeisance.

The crimson dragon raised its head and brandished its claws, but when it landed on the Domain of Life and Death, it only emitted sparks of light and fire. The golden-robed martial arts divine embryo remained calm and composed, easily withstanding this Great Completion Domain...

After years of biding his time and cultivating his Daoist skills to the highest level... Xie Zhisui is indeed an extraordinary figure.

Unfortunately.

This physical body, however, is unpolished and lacks refinement.

"Your body is even weaker than a sword cultivator's... Don't you know that you shouldn't let martial artists get close?"

Xie Xuanyi looked down at the kneeling Prince Jiangning and said expressionlessly, "What's the point of cultivating for so many years... all the way to the perfection of Yin Spirit, without ever winning a single battle?"

The Prince of Jiangning supported himself with one hand on the ground.

He covered his heart with his other hand.

Fresh blood dripped from his lips, pooling on the ground.

The Great Chu Dynasty has three universally recognized sacred sites for cultivating sword energy.

The first to be affected is naturally the Great Sui Sword Palace, followed by the Hundred Flowers Valley. The Taoist Jade Purity Hall cannot be considered a holy land for sword qi cultivation... after all, it only occupies one of the seven halls.

This is the third sacred place for cultivating sword energy.

In fact, it was the Xie family of Jiangning.

Even before Xie Xuanyi was born, Jiangning had produced many great swordsmen.

Nearly sixty years have passed.

Countless sword cultivators will take root, stay, and cultivate in Jiangning.

Xie Zhisui can be considered one of the best among them... He entered the Daoist sect and studied the [Crimson Dragon], but his sword-cultivation habits in his bones never changed. Most of the sword cultivators who have cultivated and attained the Dao in the past sixty years are good at using flying swords to fight enemies and take people's heads from thousands of miles away. This flying sword technique is indeed powerful, but its biggest drawback is that it is afraid of people getting close.

After cultivating the [Red Dragon] technique.

The Great Master Chongkan once gave a warning to the Prince of Jiangning.

The Taoist method of controlling Qi requires self-cultivation; no matter how powerful the Taoist domain is, it cannot be easily opened to others.

If one is attacked by a martial artist.

Then the outcome will be extremely tragic.

Everyone understands the principle...

But if a real fight breaks out, the situation will be quite different.

Xie Zhisui had cultivated diligently for decades, and apart from the Great Master Chongkan, almost no one in the world knew that this non-royal prince of the Jiangning Prince's Mansion was about to reach the peak of his cultivation.

What is the concept of the Nineteenth Realm of Yin Spirit?

The Yang spirit does not emerge.

This is undoubtedly the number one person in Jiangning.

If Jiang Ningwang hadn't encountered Chen Chong, an invincible "Great Perfection" being of Yin spirit, on that day at Qixia Mountain, he would never have ridden away on his white horse. What he truly wanted to do, neither Meng Kejian nor Du Yunzhong could have stopped him.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in life.

Xie Zhisui failed to kill Xie Zhen, and the cause and effect of leaving the country led to the current situation.

"..."

The main hall was completely silent.

It wasn't that the Prince of Jiangning was unwilling to speak, but rather that he couldn't speak.

This punch nearly shattered his heart, leaving his mind completely blank.

The glory and triumph of those years flash by like a revolving lantern...

The Prince of Jiangning had a misconception.

vaguely.

It felt like going back to forty years ago.

At that time, he had just become the head of the Xie family. Standing in the ancestral hall, he was full of vigor and ambition. The Xie family members, whose days were numbered, all bowed to him. If I remember correctly, a young couple on the outermost edge of the ancestral hall were holding a child. The child was not crying in the swaddling clothes and looked at him from a distance of more than ten feet.

This moment is just like that moment.

It's just that... the location has changed.

Xie Xuanyi just quietly looked at the Prince of Jiangning kneeling in front of him.

This punch seems "simple".

But in reality, the "Path of Annihilation" was used.

A cultivator of Jiangning's level possesses a nearly perfected Dao Domain protecting him. Even martial artists of the same level would find it difficult to defeat him. Only by engraving the Dao Realm into his fist could he have a chance to break through the Dao Domain. At this moment, the "Destruction Dao Realm" is raging within Jiangning's lungs and internal organs.

"Hooray!"

The Prince of Jiangning was in a daze. But his perfectly cultivated Crimson Dragon Dao Domain launched a counterattack at this moment...

The Dao Domain of the Yin Spirit Perfection Realm is just a tiny bit away from becoming a complete "Great Dao".

This crimson dragon avatar sensed that its master's mental state was extremely poor, and with a ferocious expression, it launched a final desperate gamble!
boom!
The massive dragon claw descended, slamming heavily onto the [Birth and Death] Dao Domain.

Xie Xuanyi raised his head and looked at the scene without dodging or flinching.

[Birth and Death] The black and white energies of the Dao Domain transformed into a large umbrella, opening up half of the sky and blocking the majestic Dharma form of the true dragon, keeping it all outside the Dao Domain.

Using the eleventh realm to confront the nineteenth realm.

This should have been a decisive defeat.

If it were at another time...

Xie Xuanyi would choose to temporarily avoid the limelight, but in this battle, he has finally found the right time, place, and people.

The Prince of Jiangning had too much of his vitality worn down by the White Crane Immortal...

That red dragon had long lost its initial ferocity.

The martial arts divine embryo that Xie Xuanyi cultivated stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes fluttering.

A true dragon descended, entwined and colliding!
The Divine Embryo unleashed its natal flying sword, clashing with the True Dragon. This top-tier flying sword, once tempered to the twentieth level of Yin God, held its own and repelled the Crimson Dragon. Countless golden sparks burst forth from the sky, falling gently and landing on the Divine Embryo's shoulders, as if undergoing a baptism of rain.

"Boom!"

A deafening clap of thunder echoed throughout the Dao Domain.

The Crimson Dragon's attack failed, so it summoned the lingering remnant of the Great Master Chongkan once again.

Due to the previous tragic battle in the [Soul Sea], seventy percent of this lingering spirit had been worn away. The lingering spirit of the Great True Person, whose clothes were now dim, rode a true dragon and transformed into a pillar of light from the top of the sky.

"It's time to put an end to this."

Xie Xuanyi spoke softly.

The words fell.

[Birth and Death] At this moment, countless storms surged in the Dao Domain, and the Martial Dao Divine Embryo raised its arms.

Black and white energies separate yin and yang, dividing chaos.

The left hand holds life, the right hand holds death!
The Martial Arts Divine Embryo took a step forward, rose from the ground, transformed into a rainbow, and took the initiative to meet the Crimson Dragon!

boom!
The void is broken!

The chaotic energy collided with the crimson dragon's pillar of light!
Although it is only at the eleventh level of Yin God, the powerful aura emanating from this divine embryo Dharma form is in no way inferior to that of the fifteenth level of Yin God.

The realm of Yin Spirit is like an insurmountable chasm.

The four realms are formidable barriers.

To fight across borders without being at a disadvantage is already an extremely difficult task.

To attempt a cross-border kill is an impossible miracle.

This is why Xie Xuanyi died in the North Sea in his previous life.

Bai Gui, leading countless followers from Yinshan, set up an array in the North Sea, determined to fight to the death.

If Xie Xuanyi cannot enter the Yang Spirit realm, then death is inevitable.

But things are different now.

Only after the superficialities are washed away can perfection be achieved.

Xie Xuanyi's second life was blessed with talent, good fortune, and a wealth of accumulated knowledge from his previous life.

Whether it's the True Man of Junshan or the Buddha of Miaozhen... their reincarnation and cultivation are all for the purpose of attaining such "Dao Fruit". It's just a pity that among the reincarnated True Men of the past thousand years, no one has been able to reach the level that Xie Xuanyi has achieved.

Unprecedented and unparalleled.

Such an existence has transcended the realm of demons and monsters.

They should cross borders and fight.

He should be invincible among his peers!

"boom!"

A loud explosion erupted in the dome.

With a single punch, the Golden-Robed Divine Embryo shattered the already dim remnant spirit of Grand Master Chongkan!
Followed by.

The golden-robed divine being leaped atop the crimson dragon, unleashing his natal flying sword, imbued with the lingering power of the Dao of Annihilation. Like a giant axe, it cleaved through the crimson dragon's head—

The heart-wrenching roar shook the heavens and echoed for miles around.

The Martial God Embryo remained in the riding posture, gripping his natal flying sword tightly with both hands, piercing through the red dragon's head, and then the two fell to the ground together!
boom!
The red dragon crashed heavily to the ground.

The once arrogant red dragon had lost its previous arrogance and transformed into a struggling earthworm, writhing madly after its head was pierced. However, the more it struggled, the more pain it felt. After a few breaths, the red dragon collapsed to the ground, its breath weak, its blood flowing onto the scorching earth and pooling into a small, scalding lake.
