Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 684 Precepts
Baihe.

Like white grease flowing ceaselessly, it intertwined with the fire, but was at a disadvantage, and the hills and valleys were gradually exposed to the endless stream of light.

Li is the fire of the heart, empty inside and bright outside, hiding yin and revealing yang, the abode of the spirit and will.

This flame is a celestial fire, symbolizing how a cultivator uses inner peace and tranquility to control outward scorching heat, thus enabling them to wield power without violence and to kill without harshness.

The water originally possessed a balanced and vibrant energy, and was nourished by fire. It was not afraid of this Li fire. However, now that it has fallen into the demonic path, it is killed by the bright light of the Li fire.

The [Fire Illumination Array] moved towards Bai He at an extremely fast speed from the center, and under the guidance of the silver lightning, it was unstoppable and unstoppable.

Boom!

The black flames dissipated, revealing a tall and divine Asura woman. Blue and green water and fire condensed into thousands of giant snakes, coiling and circling around Tie Sui.

【Kusura】

As a divine power of the supreme fire path, this divine power was known in ancient times as "Asura in one body, all demons as one", which can borrow the bodies of all the great Asura demons in history and their mysteries.

But the sliver of lightning in the sky only paused for a moment before effortlessly passing over the thousands of blue and green water and fire snakes, and gracefully descending upon the Asura's neck.

Black fire exploded, the demonic body shattered, and in just one exchange, Tie Sui's Asura demonic body was cleaved in two, and even that divine power was difficult to condense again in a short time.

Robbery Sword Technique, [Suffering Slaughter].

The "Sword Technique of Thunderous Roar" records three sword moves: "Suffering Strike," "Mirror Reflection," and "Thunderous Roar." The last move, Thunderous Roar, can only be driven by sword intent.

The mystery of this fatal strike lies in the initial encounter. If the opponent has not been struck by the Heavenly Lightning, this sword strike will inevitably land on their neck, resulting in a decapitation.

Compared to Si Jie, this sword technique can only be activated at the beginning of the battle, and its power and killing force are reduced by a lot. However, it has the advantage of being unexpected. After all, who would expect the opponent to behead someone in one move!
Tie Sui suffered this loss. At this moment, his demonic body was broken, his supernatural powers were stagnant, and the strength of his magical body was declining sharply.

'They actually let him go this far!'

The prince of Northern Liao was horrified, a chill running through him. He no longer cared about concealing his abilities or using hidden supernatural powers; he only looked behind him and exclaimed in surprise:
"Help me—"

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling sword light gathered again, thunder roared, and the world darkened.

Xu Xuan drew his sword, and lightning shot into the sky. The calamities that had been repeatedly refined were mixed with the sword's edge, repeatedly condensing until finally becoming a magnificent silver sword light, as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the scene of the outside world.

[Mirror Image]

This technique uses lightning to reflect the heavens and earth, and has the wonderful effect of binding and restricting. Right now, this mirror-like sword light suddenly fell, instantly taking Tie Sui into it, cutting it off from the outside world, and even making it unable to sense the void.

Tie Sui's expression darkened, and his body began to condense waves of violent and fierce intent, causing white saltpeter, yellow sulfur, and black charcoal to erupt from his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears, bursting his face.

His abdomen swelled abnormally, and muffled thunderous sounds came from inside, causing the lightning mirror to shake violently, become unstable, and break open.

The Liao man lay down like a toad, his [Auxiliary Nitrogen] fully activated, his cheeks puffed out, and he aimed at Xu Xuan's location.

The Toad's Elixir-Swallowing Technique

Autumn-yellow tattoos began to appear on his body, coated with spiritual materials from the Hidden Gold Path. They were not for external defense, but to prevent him from exploding from the inside, like a pill repository locking in the ultimate fire.

Boom!

A gust of wind surged from his mouth, black flames erupted wildly, and finally brought out a black pill as big as a human head, which was as big as earth and stone. It was formed from pure fire.

Of the five fires, the most violent is the Supreme Fire, which explodes at the slightest touch. This black fire pill is formed from the Supreme Fire of the Purple Mansion—the [Toad Fiend Fire].

Once the fire pill left his body, it rushed towards Xu Xuan at an extremely fast speed, about to explode. It should be noted that the instantaneous burst speed of the ultimate fire is comparable to divine lightning, and its attack is even faster than that.

Xu Xuan did not retreat. A flash of silver light appeared in his eyes, and the Heavenly Talisman and Black Law within his body became one. Sensing the heaven and earth, he was blessed with good fortune and naturally entered a mysterious realm.

The surrounding world seemed to have completely merged with him, and the mystical phenomena within his inner vision were reflected outwards, moving at his will. Even the condensation of spells could be completed outside.

"You really can achieve the unity of man and nature."

Tian Tuo's voice was slightly somber. He had been reborn in the Upper Heaven and had a good understanding of the highest realm of this thunder technique. After all, the Heavenly Thunder was the master of this art.

Once you reach this level, you can command heaven and earth to carry out your destiny, which means changing the subject of the spell from yourself to heaven and earth.

If one wants to cast a spell, one usually condenses the prototype of the spell in the inner landscape, and then uses incantations, hand seals, magical artifacts, or even supernatural powers to unleash it. Ultimately, it still has to go through the body, and there are various limitations.

In the realm of harmony between heaven and man, the process of casting thunder magic is formed directly in the outside world by sensing heaven and earth. Not only is the power greater, but it can also be summoned from any place at any time!
However, this state does not last long and can only be used for lightning magic; other spells still need to be condensed in the inner realm.

Even so, it was enough to decide the battle opportunity. Xu Xuan's silver lightning chain appeared out of thin air, instantly blocking the fire pill and delaying the killing move.

He dodged away on lightning, narrowly avoiding the fierce, fiery aura. Behind him, a deafening explosion shook the light of the blazing fire. The light descended, enveloping Tie Sui, with flowing blue-green water and fire transforming into countless venomous snakes and arrows that rained down on Xu Xuan, protecting Tie Sui as he escaped.

Xu Xuan's body emanated the light of Qingwu, forcefully blocking the attack. At the same time, the sword in his hand twisted again, startling Tie Sui so much that he almost cried out.

'You still have other methods?'

The Heavenly Tribulation took over the entire sky with an unparalleled force. No matter what kind of fire or water it was, it had to be forced to retreat to the side, allowing the black and white lightning to cut the entire sky into a chessboard shape.

The state of communion between heaven and man cannot be maintained for long, lasting only a few dozen breaths.

Xu Xuan stepped on lightning, flashed to the front, and handed over the sword again.

"Heaven proclaimed its punishment, and in gratitude, it granted his execution."

The third move of the robbery technique: [Declaration of Thunder].

This sword move requires the power of sword intent to drive it; it is a true sword strike capable of annihilation.

The sword pointed forward, piercing through the iron shaft, and the Liao man's face flashed with shock and determination. His body swelled, and the gold patterns on it were burst inch by inch.

"He's going to explode!"

Tian Tuo roared. He had witnessed the power of the ultimate fire before, and if he were to be hit by it solidly, it would be no small injury.

Xu Xuan retreated gracefully, abandoning his longsword. His [Dan Ting] transformed into a scattered burst of lightning and disappeared. The sword technique that had been brewing and gathering within Tie Sui's body suddenly vanished.

The Liao man looked deeply puzzled, sensing that the sharp sword intent was still gathering, and the killing intent was already formed, but it was not aimed at him.

"wrong--"

Tie Sui's eyes widened in horror. He was about to warn Zhi Xi above when he felt a strong killing intent.

The silver-robed man in front smiled slightly, widened the distance between them, and opened his third eye, which was surging with golden and black light between his brows. The sunlight burst forth and struck with a bang.

The sun is the source of all yang and the head of all light. Once struck, it has nowhere to hide. At this moment, Tie Sui's body was instantly pierced by the light of the Heavenly Eye.

The sun's flames appeared, the Bing light shone brightly, and the Wu radiance lost its weight. These three mysterious forces descended in succession, instantly interrupting any attempt by Tie Sui to self-destruct. Finally, a dark, annihilating eclipse light erupted, silencing him completely, and he dragged his mangled body backward.

Zhixi, who was in the sky, was fighting Wei Shuang and had the upper hand. She used her rolling hot spring to melt away the wind and snow. But when she noticed the change below, she felt something was wrong and looked over.

Xu Xuan's hands were empty, but the Dan Ting sword had appeared behind Zhi Xi without her noticing. The [Xuan Lei] sword had already been formed and struck down instantly.

In the state of "unity of heaven and man", Xu Xuan's sword moves are more concealed and can take shape in the world. Combined with the miraculous power of his sword intent, he can strike wherever he wants.

Zhixi was startled, feeling her demonic body begin to merge with the entire world. However, it was not she who commanded the world, but the world that commanded her, forcibly linking her life to the entire land.

In this state, if the opponent were to strike the heavens and earth with their sword intent, it would be as if the sword were falling on her body, without releasing even the slightest bit of killing power.

Zhixi gazed at the silver-robed man in the distance, letting the pair of wind-blade and frost-sword pierce her body. Her wounds opened up like gaping mouths, actually biting the pair of swords and creating cracks!
Wei Shuang paused, a chill running through her. She turned and left, abandoning her sword and blade, riding away on a cold dragon.

【冱寒雪】is a realm-defining divine power that can freeze snow and rivers. It is specifically designed to deal with water-elemental beings. Ren, Gui, and Han would not fare well if they encountered it. Kan water is not afraid, but Hua water can counteract it.

Fortunately, this supernatural power can also be used to control dragons, to kill enemies and escape, and to manifest plum blossoms to protect the body.

In an instant, countless silver sword lights slashed down from the sky, and [Thunderclap] was suddenly activated, sweeping across the entire world like a storm. This killing power was then transferred entirely to Zhixi.

There is no way to avoid it.

The female demon's body was quickly riddled with holes by the lightning, her bones and blood completely destroyed. However, waves of white energy surged from her abdomen, rapidly repairing her body, severing her connection with heaven and earth, and carrying her as she plummeted into the valley.

"These two aren't enough."

Xu Xuan raised his hand, summoning his spirit sword. He then looked towards the ravine and said solemnly:

"Why are you still hiding? If you don't show yourself, I will break the formation."

Copper lamps and feather fans quickly appeared beside him, and the three calamities of thunder, fire, and wind converged, causing the heavens and earth to slump for a moment. From that valley, various Buddhist precepts began to appear, purifying evil desires, like a single lamp shining in the space.

"Those who follow the precepts in ancient times are at least at the Mahaprajnaparamita level, on the verge of sudden enlightenment at the [non-retrogressive stage]!"

Tian Tuo's voice gradually deepened, and Xu Xuan also felt a pressure. Within the Buddhist precepts, he could not see a trace of karma. Under the influence of the Heavenly Tribulation of Thunder, it seemed as if an empty space had appeared.

If one is not tainted by karma, why would one be struck by lightning?
