Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 590 Yang Jian of the Heavenly Realm
The Star Spirit Banner fluttered frequently, its eerie light flickering erratically.

Xu Yunfan, carrying the Star Spirit Banner, roamed aimlessly throughout the Heavenly Realm.

A celestial fairy named Snow Soul, who commanded the Netherworld's Frosty Souls to freeze a hundred miles of broken walls in an attempt to hide herself, had her protective icy light shattered by a lightning strike and screamed as she was captured into a banner.

An old monster, a Gu Immortal, who commanded a golden toad rife with poison and spewed out seven-colored poisonous miasma, attempting to poison all living beings he encountered, had his poisonous miasma body shattered by the Purple-Gold Thunder Force. The golden toad, along with its soul, became the Poison Toad Star Lord within the Star Banner.

Furthermore, those barefoot immortals who hid deep within the ruins of Yaochi, now a lava lake, attempting to refine the remaining spiritual water to heal their wounds, were all found by Xu Yunfan following the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy. With a flick of his star banner, he swallowed them all, along with the pool of turbid water.

Xu Yunfan was overjoyed as he sped along. The Heavenly Realm was about to be devoured, and the Heavenly Dao was beginning to shatter and disintegrate. Many profound principles of the Dao were now directly presented before his eyes.

It was an extremely rare encounter.

As time passed, Xu Yunfan reaped great rewards. The starlight within the Star Spirit Banner grew brighter and brighter, and the starlight trajectory gradually took on the charm of a nascent grand array.

Xu Yunfan was like a diligent miner, silently mining for wealth on the very edge of the chaotic battlefield.

Until this day.

Xu Yunfan had just swiftly suppressed a celestial official near the ruins of a star-gazing platform where the remnants of a boundary-breaking array still lingered. This official was wielding a star compass and attempting to trigger a counterattack from the remaining array.

Just as he put away the Star Spirit Banner and prepared to disappear into the next shadow.

"Extraterrestrial demons! How dare you harm my celestial officials!"

A sharp shout, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, burst forth with unparalleled sharpness.

Xu Yunfan felt a slight chill and turned around abruptly.

A hundred feet away, atop a pile of stones formed by the collapse of a glazed jade pillar, stood a towering figure.

The man wore a three-peaked phoenix crown, silver chainmail, and a black battle robe. He held a strangely shaped, three-pointed, double-edged sword that gleamed with cold light.

His face was resolute, his eyes were like lightning, and most strikingly, there was a slightly closed vertical line between his eyebrows, which contained divine light and exuded a chilling power of insight and deception.

A tremendous battle intent, typical of someone in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, mixed with extremely pure martial will and immortal spiritual power, firmly locked onto Xu Yunfan.

This fighting spirit was extremely pure and refined, far surpassing the Celestial Immortals encountered before. It seemed to have undergone countless trials of blood and fire, representing a sublimated version of martial arts.

Kind of interesting.

Xu Yunfan's eyes shone brightly as he scanned the three-pointed double-edged sword and the vertical eye between the eyebrows. A name that was famous in mythology from his previous life instantly jumped into his mind.

"Yang Jian?"

He wasn't surprised by the appearance of Yang Jian. After all, this celestial realm had the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Empress, so it wasn't surprising to have more legendary figures. Wasn't the young divine general he had encountered earlier also called Nezha?

But such a distinct feature, so directly corresponding to the name, still stirred a strange ripple in his heart.

Why would someone write something that seems plausible but is actually false?

Upon hearing this, the divine general wielding the three-pointed double-edged sword suddenly contracted his pupils, and the vertical line between his brows seemed to tremble violently as he shouted a stern question.

"Who are you? How do you know my name?!"

Xu Yunfan's mind raced, but a barely perceptible Nike smile appeared on his face. His tone was calm, as if he were stating a trivial matter, speaking slowly and deliberately.

"When we first invaded the Heavenly Realm, I casually dealt with a brat who didn't know his place. He was riding on two flaming wheels and wielding a fire-breathing spear."

Before he died, he said that Erlang Shen, the True Lord of Heaven, was his elder brother and would surely avenge him.

"Ha, so noisy, I crushed your soul with a flick of my wrist." He said this half-truthfully, the name Nezha originating from his past life memories, which he casually used as bait to provoke the other party.

But the effect was immediate.

"You killed Nezha?!"

"Take your life!!"

Yang Jian's eyes were bloodshot.

The world's end had already tainted the hearts of the creatures in this place with a sense of gloom, and Xu Yunfan's words instantly ignited all the grief, anger, and murderous intent within them.

The vertical eye between his brows, which had been tightly closed, suddenly opened.

hum!
A golden-red beam of light, condensed to its extreme and as dazzling as the blazing sun, instantly tore through space, carrying the terrifying power to incinerate everything and see through the origins of existence, and pierced straight for Xu Yunfan's brow.

This is the Heavenly Eye's Golden Light that dispels illusions!

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and his entire body transformed into a silver dragon tearing through the void. His three-pointed double-edged sword slashed through the sky, and even before the tip of the sword arrived, the domineering and fierce sword intent, which seemed capable of splitting a ten-thousand-foot-tall divine mountain in two, had already locked onto Xu Yunfan.

"Die!!!"

The sound shook the universe; the golden-red beam of light was as fast as the aurora borealis, arriving before the enemy! The blade's energy was like a bolt of lightning, cleaving the heavens and earth with its force.

Xu Yunfan snorted coldly, a hint of seriousness and excitement flashing in his eyes.

With the combat power of a peak mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the opponent's pure martial arts fighting style, it was perfect for him to test the strength of a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If Yang Jian were incorporated into the Star Spirit Banner, he would definitely be a powerful banner spirit.

Faced with the golden-red beam of light that seemed to pierce through the soul, the already stable and endlessly rotating nascent form of the cave within his sea of ​​consciousness trembled slightly, and a sense of heavy barrier originating from the foundation of the world instantly strengthened his soul.

His divine will was as firm as a rock, unmoving.

The golden light of the Breaking Illusion shot out, like the scorching sun burning solid ice. Although it stirred up a violent fluctuation in the soul, it failed to truly harm Xu Yunfan's essence.

Almost at the same instant he was bracing against the golden light, Xu Yunfan moved.

Instead of directly confronting the incomparably sharp three-pointed double-edged sword, he swayed slightly, and arcs of electricity spontaneously ignited, seemingly merging with the chaotic energy flow surging beneath his feet. He vanished from his spot in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint purple afterimage that was pulverized by the sword's energy.

"Boom!!"

Yang Jian's strike missed its mark, landing where Xu Yunfan had been standing. The violent force unleashed completely pulverized the already dilapidated observatory ruins, leaving a huge, bottomless gash that even caused space itself to distort violently.

"what?"

Yang Jian felt a chill run down his spine; his opponent had managed to evade his deadly attack so easily.

With his rich combat experience, he did not hesitate. His Heavenly Eye swept the void again, like a searchlight, and at the same time, he flicked his wrist, and his three-pointed double-edged sword drew out countless silver blade nets that were difficult to distinguish from reality and sealed off the space in all directions.

"Are all the powerful gods in your celestial realm so fond of close combat? Their martial arts are indeed superb, but it's a pity..."

Xu Yunfan's voice, tinged with inquiry, echoed like a ghost from the broken wall ten feet to Yang Jian's left.

"Faced with the path of magic and supernatural powers, it seems that I am not strong enough. One force can break all laws. Although the path of physical sainthood is good, it is ultimately difficult to master."

Yang Jian suddenly turned around, glaring angrily. His sword strike shifted again, sweeping out like a raging storm: "You heretics and demons, you dare not fight head-on, you only know how to scurry and hide like rats, how dare you question the battle tactics of my Heavenly Realm?!"
