Embers of Sword

Chapter 590 Feeding Fist
A fierce wind howled as the great demon Yazi spread out his domain!
Within a radius of a hundred feet, everything was encompassed within the Dao Domain—

Xie Xuanyi raised his palm to his chest, summoning back the [Sick Illness], which hovered quietly in front of his forehead.

"There was no murderous intent."

He silently sensed the surging demonic energy within this Dao Domain.

Although the world was in chaos, the killing intent was not fierce.

This Yazi Dao Domain is like a thick fog!
Xie Xuanyi's divine sense was imprisoned within the Dao Domain and could not be released outwards. He could only see the scenery within ten feet around him with all his might!

next moment.

With a muffled boom, the chaos in all directions shattered.

Yuwen Bo, dressed in a bright yellow robe, suddenly threw a punch. He was ten feet away from the target and threw a simple and unadorned punch. This punch shattered the void, howled the wind and thunder, and even the [Sickness] flying sword could not help but emit a low hum!
"coming!"

Xie Xuanyi held his breath and reacted extremely quickly.

Although he has not yet advanced to the Yang God level.

But he caught the movement of that punch.

The chronic illness instantly shot out, transforming into a golden ray of light that crashed into Yuwen Bo's fist.

珰!
The sound of metal clashing echoed through the thick fog.

This exchange of blows was far from "easy." Xie Xuanyi's Dao Intent of Annihilation was instantly shattered. Yuwen Bo's fist was comparable to a primordial spiritual treasure, extremely hard, and it was unknown what kind of Dao Intent it contained. In just one exchange, he sent Chen Ke flying backward.

The flying sword is connected to its master's mind and spirit.

The flying sword was knocked back.

The owner will naturally be implicated as well.

Xie Xuanyi groaned and staggered back several steps, taking a deep breath to barely stop himself.

A wisp of divine thought swept in from his dantian.

"As expected, this guy didn't come to kill you."

Xuanming said leisurely, "If he really intended to kill you, that punch just now would have been enough to seriously injure you."

Xie Xuanyi was indeed a genius.

But Yuwen Bo had already advanced to the Yang God realm long ago...

The difference in the amount of time the two have spent cultivating cannot be made up for simply by talent.

To fight Yuwen Bo, Xie Xuanyi must at least complete the Yang God advancement.

In a sense.

The moment the Qian Tian Palace's giant ship landed, the outcome of the battle was no longer in doubt.

Xie Xuanyi didn't flee because he still possessed the [Yuan Tun Sacred Realm], his greatest trump card and reliance. Yuwen Bo was unaware that everything that happened after the giant ship landed was being watched by Xuanming. This celestial being, who had lived for a thousand years, still had some remaining divine power. While dealing with the great calamity might be somewhat difficult, resolving the current battle of Yang Gods was not particularly challenging.

"If it's not to kill me, why make such a fuss..."

Xie Xuanyi murmured unconsciously.

As soon as he finished speaking, he understood the answer.

He had slaughtered the entire families of the three major sects in the Southern Frontier, leaving the mountains and fields littered with the corpses of Yinshan disciples.

With the experience of the Palace Master of Qiantian, how could he not know that to kill him, one would need at least the cultivation level of a Yin God?

even……

Ordinary Yin spirits are not even qualified to step into this battlefield!

The Battle of Beihai ten years ago caused quite a stir. Who doesn't know how formidable Xie Xuanyi is? Who would dare to be careless?
This large ship can be considered Qiantian Palace's answer to the imperial city.

Empress Dowager's Edict.

Clean up the battlefield in southern Xinjiang and capture the traitor Xie.

Qiantian Palace had no choice but to comply.

So Yuwen Bo led his entire ship of disciples south. Presumably, the scene of this battle was also recorded by the divine jade. After the Yazi demon was released from the Dao Domain, the battlefield was in chaos, and no one knew what had happened. Yuwen Bo was dealing with this "edict" in his own way.

His method was to feed the opponent punches!
Yuwen Bo could see it.

Xie Xuanyi was only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Yang God... Such top geniuses often unleash their greatest potential when facing life and death. If Xie Xuanyi could break through during this "fist-feeding" exercise, then the failure of the Qian Tian Palace's encirclement would be an unexpected yet reasonable turn of events.

boom!
The first punch had just landed.

The second punch was thrown.

The Palace Master of Qiantian Palace, dressed in a bright yellow robe, remained calm as he threw a second punch.

The second punch followed the same wide and powerful trajectory, without any strange or unpredictable style. It went straight for Xie Xuanyi's face, clearly intending to clash head-on with the flying sword!

"Junior brother is really lucky."

Xuanming chuckled softly, "I thought... I was going to make a move."

The large ship arrived earlier.

Xuanming was ready to take action and "intervene".

Looking back now, it seems unnecessary.

Xie Xuanyi had just comprehended the "Swallowing Dao Scroll" and needed a fierce battle to digest and hone it. At this moment, what could be a more suitable opportunity than a Yang God personally feeding him a punch?

"go with!"

Xie Xuanyi concentrated.

The Great Dao of Annihilation clashed with the fist wind of the Palace Master of Qiantian.

The two strands of Dao intent were not even on the same level... The Dao of Annihilation was indeed powerful, but it was only a nascent embryo. The Palace Master of Qiantian Palace had been condensing his "Dao" for sixty years, as thick and solid as a copper wall and iron barrier, something that the Dao of Annihilation embryo could not possibly cut through! The two clashed and the outcome was decided in an instant, but this sword strike was not merely a clash of Dao intents; Xie Xuanyi had contained the "Devouring Dao Technique" within his flying sword!

"……Um?"

The Palace Master of Qiantian Palace raised an eyebrow slightly.

The moment his fist collided with the sword, he felt a mysterious force.

His own Dao had momentarily lost control!
How can it be?

The difference in their levels of understanding was immense... He had never heard of such a strange thing before.

This is the Primordial Devouring Divine Power?!

The tip of the flying sword pierced the fist of the Palace Master of Qiantian.

Unfortunately, although the "Swallowing Dao Scroll" unexpectedly interfered with the Qian Tian Palace Master's Dao, this sword strike was still ineffective, only barely repelling the power of the second punch.

"interesting."

Yuwen Bo smiled and transmitted his voice in a deep voice: "Your sword strike is indeed 'selfless and fearless.' Aren't you afraid that your sword energy might suddenly attack and I will be on guard?"

"True flying sword techniques cannot be guarded against or defended against."

Xie Xuanyi shook his head and said sincerely, "Besides... with Sect Master Yuwen's cultivation level, do you still need to be wary of me? If the Sect Master were to use lethal force, there wouldn't be this scene."

"You can see it."

Sect Master Yuwen suppressed his smile.

He said quietly, "I received the Empress's decree and came to arrest you on behalf of the Qiantian Palace... After receiving the order, I did not stop for a moment. I'm afraid even if other holy lands are the fastest, it will take them half an hour. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Xie Xuanyi understood, of course.

Yuwen Bo was unwilling to see Xie Xuanyi repeat the tragedy of Beihai.

He came here in person.

The purpose was to provide Xie Xuanyi with punches.

"Since you are only half a step away from becoming a Yang God."

Yuwen Bo calmly transmitted his voice, "Today, I will send you to the summit."

These words stirred a ripple in Xie Xuanyi's heart.

His expression was somewhat complicated.

He suppressed some of his words.

Ten years have passed, and many people and things have changed. Jiang Ning has revealed his true colors, and Xie Zhisui's actions have chilled his heart.

But many people have not changed.

Yuwen Bo wanted to lend him a hand...

Unfortunately.

The idea is good, but putting it into practice is too difficult.

When Yuwen Bo heard the news of Xie Xuanyi's death, he assumed that the young man had secretly hidden away after the great calamity in the North Sea and had been cultivating for ten years... He did not know that Xie Xuanyi had started his cultivation from scratch, and the difficulty of crossing the "Yang God" threshold was extremely high. If he only had a single path to the Path of Annihilation and was just one step away from the goal, perhaps there would still be some hope.

Xie Xuanyi has now cultivated to the dual Dao realm.

It's impossible to reach the perfection of the "Life and Death Dao Realm" simply by feeding him punches.

Not to mention, Tai Guang is still in the hands of the Paper Doll Path.

Xie Xuanyi swallowed these words. He simply rallied his spirits, gripped the ailing flying sword with his martial arts divine body, looked at the middle-aged man in yellow robes not far away, and bowed. Xie Xuanyi said in a deep voice, "Please enlighten me, Sect Master Yuwen!"

"it is good!"

Yuwen Bo no longer held back.

Within the Chaotic Dao Domain of Yazi, two figures officially clashed.

Yuwen Bo suppressed the Great Dao, unleashed his fist technique, and threw a punch, followed by another—

Although there was no intention to kill.

But the force of that punch was suffocating!
Xie Xuanyi had a feeling that this Sect Master Yuwen had abandoned all distracting thoughts and was punching him with wide, sweeping movements, like a surging river, making it difficult to defend against, yet a faint glimmer of hope remained.

With each punch he received, Xie Xuanyi had to use the life force within his dantian to alleviate the pain.

This punching match seems like a showdown.

But after Yuwen Bo actually threw a punch, his killing intent gradually spread and surged.

Xie Xuanyi seemed to have transformed into a withered leaf, standing amidst the raging waves.

Yuwen Bo's fist strikes came wave after wave, each wave higher than the last...

He seems to have long forgotten the original purpose of this punching session!

Each punch was harder and heavier than the last!

Hit the back.

Even Ya Zi, who was watching the fight, had a strange expression on his face... He had never seen such a crazy exchange of blows, and Yuwen Bo no longer cared about the weight of his punches.

At that moment, a ridiculous thought arose in Ya Zi's mind.

If Xie Xuanyi fails to break through, he might very well be beaten to death on the spot by Sect Master Yuwen!

However, what Ya Zi found even more "incomprehensible" was...

This terrifying and suffocating wave of the Great Dao was actually withstood by Xie Xuanyi. From the very first punch, the young man appeared to be struggling, seemingly about to collapse under the onslaught of the next punch... But even in this precarious posture, he maintained his stance, taking more than twenty punches in a row. Xie Xuanyi's protective Dao energy was shattered by the impact of his flying sword, and his Martial Dao Divine Embryo was also shaken to the point of being unable to coalesce, yet he did not fall! His eyes even became increasingly fervent!

How come this kid can take a beating?

Damn it!!
Ya Zi looked at the secret shackles on his feet and asked himself if he could withstand so many punches if he were in the fight.
I'm afraid... he can't do it!

"Little guy."

Just as Ya Zi was feeling a sense of melancholy and regret.

A deep and gentle divine voice suddenly swept into his heart.

Ya Zi, who advocated the Chaos Dao Domain, suddenly shivered. He felt his soul suddenly become extremely cold... Although the voice was very gentle, it made him feel great danger!

What a joke! Although his cultivation was restricted by the secret techniques of the Qian Tian Palace...

But it is still a great demon of the Yang God realm!
Who can silently transmit their voice into one's heart?

next moment.

What made Ya Zi even more "heartbroken" happened.

Suddenly, a gust of wind and snow swept through his mind, and this wind and snow was quite similar to his chaotic Dao intent. The area within several miles of his mind was shrouded in thick fog, and a black-clad man with his eyes covered by satin slowly floated out of the fog, three feet off the ground.

"???"

Ya Zi had never encountered anything so terrifying in his life.

My inner world has been invaded.

To accomplish this...

There is only one possibility.

The other party's spiritual realm is much higher than his own.

My own spiritual realm is at the first level of Yang God... The other party is much higher than me, how much higher is he?

The ninth heaven of the Yang God, the tenth heaven, or perhaps...

Ya Zi didn't dare to think any further.

"Don't worry. I have no intention of killing you."

Xuanming separated a wisp of his remnant spirit and swept it into the heart lake of the Yazi Great Demon of Qiantian Palace.

He looked around at the scenery and sighed softly, "I wonder if your divine sea inheritance... still retains any memories about the 'Chongming Bird'?"

"The Double-flaming Bird?"

Ya Zi was completely stunned.

He tried frantically to recall, but his mind was completely blank.

"The great calamity has only ended a thousand years ago... and the demon race has already suffered such a great loss of its heritage?"

Xuanming's expression darkened somewhat.

A thousand years is a long time for a cultivator.

But for a group, it's very short.

To escape the great calamity, he led the Chongming Bird clan to flee into the [Yuantun Sacred Realm], whereupon they went into hiding. Given his cultivation level and status back then, he should have left a significant mark on the divine sea inheritance of "Yazi." Unfortunately, after only a few generations, the legacy of the "Chongming Bird" was almost completely forgotten.

"senior……"

Ya Zi was drenched in sweat and his voice was hoarse; he tried his best to show the utmost respect.

The moment I saw Xuanming.

He then guessed the other person's identity—

Xie Xuanyi obtained the [Primordial Devouring Divine Power]!
This mysterious person is very likely to be someone closely related to the [Yuan Tun Divine Power] from a thousand years ago!

At this point, the answer is obvious.

This is Bai Ze's disciple!
A thousand years have passed, and yet a remnant of its spirit still survives, still able to invade my divine sea...

Could this be a legendary celestial demon?

Think about this.

Ya Zi couldn't help but gasp.

He cursed inwardly.

What the hell is that brat surnamed Xie trying to do?
With someone of such a level standing behind him, he stubbornly kept quiet!

"Senior, what brings you here? Do you have any instructions? This junior may communicate via telepathy!"

Ya Zi quickly spoke up: "Sect Master Yuwen is a martial arts fanatic, and he doesn't know his own strength when he fights... I'll tell him about your existence right away!"

"No need."

Xuanming smiled and shook his head.

His voice seemed to possess a peculiar magic, capable of freezing time and space.

Ya Zi's eyes widened.

Just now, he wondered if it was just his imagination, but when he tried to activate his divine sense, he felt his mind become stagnant.

The black-clad man, suspended in the chaos, seemed to have a dense network of roads hanging behind him.

Ya Zi had never seen so many "Great Daos" in his life!
I had intended to catch up with you.

Xuanming lowered his eyes, his voice tinged with regret: "A thousand years ago... the Great Sage Chilong and my master were bosom friends. I also had a very good relationship with Chilong's eldest disciple, 'Panqiu'."

"Panqiu?"

A thunderous explosion erupted in Ya Zi's mind.

Panqiu Dasheng is the creator of the Qiantian Palace's lineage!
The Qiantian Palace has been able to endure for a thousand years, all thanks to Panqiu... A thousand years ago, just after the great calamity had ended, Panqiu came south to the western border. As a demon, he formed a brotherhood with several heroes, including the Great Chu Emperor, the Dao Ancestor, and the first leader of the Sword Palace. Together, they re-established order on the wasteland of the great calamity and eventually created the holy land of "Qiantian Palace".

After that, fortunes rose and fell, and due to the difficulty of cultivating the techniques, Qian Tian Palace gradually declined and could no longer compare with Da Sui Jian Palace.

But a thousand years ago.

Panqiu Dasheng is a top-tier existence comparable to the Great Earl Sect Leader and the First Lord!

Ya Zi was able to cultivate to the Yang Shen realm because he received the inheritance of "Pan Qiu".

He was born in the wild wilderness of the demon race.

The fighting in the demon kingdom was too fierce. Ya Zi lost his battle with the previous master of Qian Tian Palace and asked him to take him back to the Western Region.

Due to bloodline resonance.

He successfully refined the Panqiu inheritance.

But as a price... for the next hundred years, he will have to guard the mountain for the Qiantian Palace!
The "edict" left by the coiled dragon was imprinted in his divine sea.

Once this decree is made, it shall be binding and effective.

Even though Yazi was inherently tyrannical, he could not disobey Panqiu's decree and could only obediently stay in the mountain gate... At first, Yazi was relatively well-behaved, but in recent years, he has become increasingly irritable and increasingly wanted to leave Qiantian Palace. Yuwen Bo was worried that this great demon would lose control, so he added this shackle.

In reality, this move was meaningless.

Because... even after a thousand years, the divine decree left by Panqiu is still in effect, as inviolable as the might of heaven!
