Embers of Sword

Chapter 606 Divine Sea Thunder Shock
In Xuanming's view, Xie Xuanyi, Chen Jingxuan, and Tang Fengshu, these three young "Yang Gods," together, had less than a 10% chance of winning against Chongkan.

The difference between the eighth and second levels of the Yangshen Realm is as vast as the difference between clouds and mud.

These three young people are indeed exceptionally talented.

Even a thousand years ago, he would have been considered a first-rate genius.

But after all, his years of cultivation were too short.

This gap in raw power cannot be bridged by magic arrays, magical treasures, or supernatural abilities.

"Less than 10%..."

To Xuanming's surprise, Xie Xuanyi did not show any sign of backing down upon hearing this reply; on the contrary, his fighting spirit soared even higher.

"It's higher than I expected."

Xie Xuanyi spoke frankly in his heart.

Xie Xuanyi realized from his previous encounter with the Palace Master of Qiantian that there was still a considerable gap between him and those already famous Yang God experts.

In terms of strength, Chongkan is much stronger than Yuwen Bo.

A 10% chance of winning this battle is already quite high!

"Unfortunately, my 'Tai Guang' is still in the hands of the Paper Doll Path."

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath.

If I can break through to a higher realm in this battle, my chances of winning will be even higher.

However, now that his fetal light is incomplete and his soul is incomplete, even if he abandons the path of life and only forges the "path of destruction", he will not be able to complete the advancement of the Yang God.

……

……

"It seems everyone has arrived."

The blood mist gradually dissipated.

Grand Master Chongkan covered his arm; his face was pale, but his eyes showed no panic.

He calmly surveyed the area in front of and behind him.

Within the Phoenix Fire Formation, the two divine avatars, a scholar in green robes and a female celestial being, stood swaying in the breeze.

At the end of the reeds, there is also a martial arts divine embryo.

There were three people in total.

These are the three monstrous talents he intends to kill on his journey north.

Chongkan slowly released his hand from his right arm.

The empty sleeve was "restored" once more. Although the flesh and blood had shattered, streams of pure and turbid energy flowed back and forth in the void, rushing towards the location of his severed arm... When one cultivates to the Yang God realm, one's own Dao realm condenses into the Great Dao, and one's natal cave heaven can be released externally, which will give rise to many incredible supernatural powers.

"Turbid and clear."

Tang Fengshu stared at the scene and slowly spoke, his voice hoarse.

The second path of the Great Master Chongkan is called "Turbidity and Purity".

This great path is similar in meaning to the principles of Yin and Yang, yet it is also different—

Everything has two sides.

In Chongkan's "Turbid and Pure Path," both the soul and the body are divided into two aspects: "turbid" and "pure."

Xie Xuanyi's sword strike had severely injured one of his arms... but as the clear and turbid qi flowed out, flesh and blood regenerated on Chongkan's right arm, and the severed arm was repaired in just over ten breaths.

"What kind of supernatural power is this...?"

Xie Xuanyi stared at this scene, his brows furrowed.

The regeneration of severed limbs is not a surprising thing.

He possessed the Fountain of Immortality.

Even if an arm is severed, it can still be repaired by activating the "Fountain of Immortality"... but the essence of limb regeneration is still to be activated by life force.

During the process of Chongkan repairing his right arm, Xie Xuanyi did not feel the slightest trace of life flowing through him.

Not so much.

This right arm grew out of the body.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that... this right arm was transplanted and had already grown in.

"It is said that Chongkan's 'pure and impure' philosophy evolved into two bodies: one pure and one impure."

Tang Fengshu used telepathy to explain to the two people beside him: "One of the Pure Body and one of the Impure Body are outside, and the other is inside. The Pure Body goes out to travel, while the Impure Body is hidden in the cave heaven. Once the Pure Body is injured, it can directly seize the Impure Body to replace it. Because the Impure Body is curled up in the Yangshen Cave Heaven, it can recover at an extremely fast speed. You can understand it as the Impure Body only needing to rest and recuperate."

"Does the Taoist sect possess such unorthodox techniques?"

Xie Xuanyi raised an eyebrow.

Chen Jingxuan pondered, "When I fought Yan Xie back then, he also used a similar supernatural power."

"good……"

Tang Fengshu sighed softly: "This technique is based on the Yin-Yang Mirror. Purity and turbidity, Yin and Yang, all lead to the same goal."

Over the years, among the disciples Chongkan has taken in, Yanxie has been the most "favored".

Only he truly obtained the Yin-Yang Mirror and learned the "Art of Purification and Turbidity".

"So, you want to kill Chongkan..."

Xie Xuanyi frowned: "Not only do we need to severely injure Qing Shen, but we also need to kill the turbid body within his natal cave?"

"Yes...it will be very, very difficult to kill him."

Chen Jingxuan sighed softly, somewhat helplessly.

This is why he laid the "golden cage" and set up so many traps.

This is a duel that spans several realms.

Even though Chongkan has experienced several major battles in succession, even though his strength is only half of what it used to be, maybe even less than half.

Defeating him remains an almost impossible task!
The three's heart-to-heart talk didn't last long.

A sudden rumble echoed from the sky.

The black-robed Grand Master raised his left arm, made a hand seal with his palm facing up, and the pure and turbid energies that were floating in the void quickly dissipated.

A scholar in a blue robe, a female celestial being, and a divine child of martial arts.

The Three Deities.

They were all enveloped by a mixture of pure and impure energy.

This is a sign that one's natal astral energy is manifesting outwards—

Thunder rumbled across the sky above the North Sea, and above the dark clouds, three majestic Buddha statues gradually took shape.

"finally come."

Chen Jingxuan took a deep breath, raised his head, and stared directly at the three divine figures on the dome.

The previous confrontations were just minor skirmishes.

From this moment on, the life-or-death struggle officially began.

The black robe transformed into a sky-covering curtain, enveloping the entire area within a ten-mile radius. The three magnificent Dharma images, reaching to the heavens and the earth, were as towering and unapproachable as mountains.

The highest supernatural power of Taoism.

One qi transforms the three qings.

……

……

Heavenly Stem, Earthly Stem, Human Stem.

There are three statues in total, each with a different expression and appearance. However, apart from the "personalized statue" that is almost identical to the main statue in the shrine, the other two statues appear to have been broken and repaired.

The battle with Qin Zu dealt a heavy blow to Chongkan.

Two of the three Dharma forms that evolved from "One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones" were shattered by Qin Zu.

The Dharma image can certainly be reconstituted.

However, the injuries left by Qin Zu were not so easy to heal.

It must be said that Lu Yu is truly the most cunning strategist in the world. Because he knew of the existence of the "Turbid Clear Cave Heaven," he deliberately concealed the Undying Spring. In the battle against Qin Zu in the Moon Hidden Realm, he exhausted ninety percent of the Turbid Clear Cave Heaven's reserves, and his intact "Turbid Body" was almost completely drained.

Rao is so.

The appearance of the Three Pure Ones' Dharma forms still exerted immense pressure on Xie Xuanyi, Chen Jingxuan, and Tang Fengshu.

"go."

Chongkan sat cross-legged, coldly issuing a command.

The three Dharma forms acted simultaneously. The personal Dharma form cast a Dao seal, summoning a thunder pool dozens of times larger than before, which crashed into the Phoenix Fire Formation.

Tang Fengshu leaped into the air and blocked the thunder pool at the top of the sky, retaliating with the "Great Dao River" technique.

Earthly Dharma Image threw out a whisk, and thousands of silver threads fell like rain. Chen Jingxuan immediately gathered the golden thread cage and countered with the Heavenly Mandate Golden Thread.

The world was enveloped in a shower of golden and silver light.

The most ethereal and elusive celestial dharma form stretched out its arm towards the sky, plunging its palm into the murky clouds. In the next instant, it suddenly drew out a sharp sword wrapped in ten thousand feet of lightning and slashed towards Xie Xuanyi at the end of the reed marsh.

boom!
The sword energy surged and spread for miles, as if it would cleave the entire world in two!
"careful!"

A sense of crisis flashed through Chen Jingxuan's mind, and he immediately shouted a warning.

Among the three deities.

The Heavenly Dharma Form is the most difficult to cultivate; even the most accomplished cultivators at the eighth level of the Yang God realm have not been able to achieve perfect cultivation.

However, the corresponding... Heavenly Dharma Form's killing power is also the strongest!
It is clear.

Chongkan's sword strike was aimed at directly annihilating Xie Xuanyi!

In his eyes, Xie Xuanyi, who had not yet advanced to the Yang God level but was already capable of fighting against a Yang God, was the biggest "scourge" among the three!
Chongkan was unaware that Xie Xuanyi's soul was incomplete, preventing him from advancing in rank.

But he must eliminate the possibility of such a genius achieving a breakthrough in the final moments—

Once Xie Xuanyi is promoted, this guy will likely become the next "Xuanzhi Zhenren".

"Boom!"

The thunder sword descended from the sky, instantly turning the entire North Sea reed marshland silvery-white.

This sword strike not only carries the power of the Great Dao.

Moreover, it contained an extremely powerful divine soul pressure.

A thunderous explosion erupted.

Even Chen Jingxuan and Tang Fengshu, who were several miles apart, felt the terror of the "Heavenly Dharma Image" at this moment. Their hearts were as if they had been attacked by a thunderbolt, and they could not calm down for a long time.

"Thank you, Brother Xie..."

Chen Jingxuan looked pale.

He couldn't imagine how Xie Xuanyi, who hadn't yet condensed his Dao, would deal with Chongkan's all-out sword strike.

……

……

"One Qi transforms into Three Pure Ones?"

When Tiange Faxiang inserted his palm into the clouds, Xuanming recognized this supernatural power.

A thousand years ago, this was a technique that could be compared to the [Primordial Devouring Divine Power], and only the Dao Ancestor successfully cultivated it back then.

The "Daoist leader" mentioned by this junior brother, although only at the eighth level of cultivation, has already condensed three Dharma forms, including the most difficult "Celestial Dharma Form"... As a result, the chances of winning this battle are probably less than one in ten. To accomplish the "defeat of the superior" rebellion, one either needs the assistance of a top-tier spiritual treasure or top-tier supernatural power.

Although the junior brother possesses the [Yuan Devouring] technique, he has only mastered one of the four methods.

The opponent... also possesses top-tier supernatural abilities.

In Xuanming's view, this last glimmer of hope was almost extinguished.

"Little junior brother."

Xuanming's gentle voice echoed from within the Holy Realm.

He said in a low voice, "Although we've only known each other for a few days, I already know you quite well..."

Some people remain friends even after a lifetime of marriage, while others become instant friends.

When receiving the inheritance in the Holy Realm.

Xuanming actually saw a reflection of his junior brother's fleeting life in Xie Xuanyi's heart.

In just thirty or forty years.

He joined the Sword Palace, became famous throughout the world, and was defeated and fled to the North Sea. The ups and downs of his first life are now being repeated in the second life.

Xuanming didn't actually care about the changes in the world.

During his previous meeting with the "Qiantian Palace", he confirmed the news of the fall of the Great Sage Chilong.

His master is dead, the Chongming Bird clan is extinct, and all his old friends have perished... He has no more attachments to this world; his only wish is for his junior brother to live. Only if his junior brother lives can the [Yuantun Sacred Realm] have a chance to be revitalized.

"Senior Brother Xuanming?"

Xie Xuanyi was taken aback.

Xuanming said gently, "Although I only have a wisp of remnant will... this wisp of remnant will can be ignited. Do you understand what I mean?"

He had previously told Xie Xuanyi.

Don't worry about going outside.

This has caused a huge problem.

Behind Xie Xuanyi are the [Yuan Tun Sacred Realm] and his own Xuanming.

Xuanming was serious about those words.

Even though Bai Ze has perished, and even though he himself only has a wisp of remnant spirit left, this wisp of remnant spirit is not something a mere eighth-level Yang God can desecrate.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xuanyi was moved. He took a deep breath and said sincerely, "I understand."

Xuanming was about to speak when Xie Xuanyi interrupted him.

"I beg you, senior brother, not to make a move."

Xie Xuanyi exhaled a breath of stale air and said seriously, "There's still a 10% chance of winning, isn't there... I want to give it a try."

This time, it was Xuanming's turn to be stunned.

boom!
The ethereal celestial figure atop the sky wielded a thunder sword and slashed down.

Xie Xuanyi raised his head.

A pale white lightning bolt instantly enveloped him, and a powerful force suddenly descended. This sword intent, imbued with lightning power, incinerated the entire reed marshland within a hundred feet, turning countless snow-white grass clippings into ashes in the air!

The martial arts prodigy raised his hands to block, but his arms were eroded by the sword energy and turned into bare white bones in just a few breaths.

Before Xie Xuanyi, sword energy unfurled, revealing a perfectly round, pitch-black barrier condensed from the Dao of Annihilation—

But this wisp of lightning was far too domineering.

The Dao of Annihilation had not yet solidified, and it was forced to retreat step by step in this battle. The pitch-black color of the perfectly round barrier gradually shattered and was gradually stained pale white!

"Ah."

Seeing this scene, Chongkan, suspended high above the heavens, remained expressionless, but a cold laugh rose in his heart.

Compared to this wisp of sword energy.

Even more dangerous is the soul attack contained within the sword energy that is about to erupt!
To kill a prodigy like Xie Xuanyi... we absolutely cannot be careless in the slightest.

Chongkan had no idea how this guy had survived the siege ten years ago.

He guessed that Zhao Chunyang had prepared a "heaven-defying" defensive treasure for Xie Xuanyi, enough to preserve his physical body.

That being the case.

That would shatter the very soul of this Xie brat!
hum!
There was a loud thunder.

The sword energy unleashed by the Heavenly Dharma Image suddenly rumbled with thunderous roar; this was Chongkan's true killing move—

Let alone a kid who hasn't even condensed his Dao yet!

Even against Chen Jingxuan and Tang Fengshu, who have already advanced to the Yang God realm, he is confident that a sudden attack could directly destroy the Heart Lake!

The slash hidden within the sword energy by the Heavenly Dharma Image is called "Divine Sea Thunder Shock". In the previous battle in the Moon Hidden Realm, this strike even caused Qin Zu to suffer a hidden loss!
After delivering this sword.

Chongkan subconsciously looked away... In his view, Xie Xuanyi had absolutely no chance of survival if he had taken a direct hit from the Heavenly Dharma Avatar's sword.

But the next moment.

Amidst the thunder, came the sound of sword energy tearing through the air—

Chongkan suddenly realized something was wrong.

He suddenly turned his head and saw the ghostly golden sword light again.

One man, one sword, soared into the sky against the lightning.

Xie Xuanyi withstood the "Divine Sea Thunder Shock" of the Heavenly Ge Dharma Image head-on, not only without any damage, but also full of energy and his fighting spirit soared.

"kill!!"

A low shout echoed along the shores of Beihai.

Xie Xuanyi unleashed a full-force attack, piercing Chongkan's brow with the thorn!
