Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 619 Sword One: Breaking Illusion
Looking at Xu Yunfan's "So that's how it is, you're just a petty thief" expression, the murderous intent in his eyes became undisguised.

Xu Yunfan's expression made him realize that there was no point in continuing the charade.

"Okay, very good!"

The ethereal air between Qingyuan Zhenjun's brows was instantly replaced by a cold murderous intent, his eyes completely devoid of warmth, and he was even too lazy to refer to himself as "this one." "You're right, this time I, Qingyuan Zhenjun, owe you something."

He looked at Xu Yunfan indifferently, his gaze as if he were dismissing a beggar.

"I will personally send you into reincarnation. In the next life, I will personally guide you back onto the path of cultivation. What do you say?"

Before the words were even finished, and before the last syllable of "He" had even faded completely, he was still speaking.

Something strange happened!

A beam of sword light suddenly shone brightly from Xu Yunfan's body.

Without warning, without any trace, it was like a sword light piercing the boundary of reality from nothingness.

It is devoid of any frills, possessing only the purest and most profound insight into reality, a desire to tear away all pretense.

Sword One: Breaking Illusion!

Qingyuan Zhenjun's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Pure Yang True Monarch?!"

Xu Yunfan remained silent, but focused his full power on unleashing the Sword Intent of Breaking Illusion.

The sword intent was neither aimed at Qingyuan Zhenjun's Immortal Abode Pure Qi Shield nor at directly piercing his vital points.

This golden elixir sword intent, personally refined by the Pure Yang Patriarch Lü Chunyang, was incredibly precise in its target, triggered by Xu Yunfan's long-accumulated mental focus.

It directly pierced Qingyuan Zhenjun, attempting to silently annihilate Xu Yunfan's last spiritual connection with the power of his divine soul.

Before Qingyuan Zhenjun's words "I will send you into reincarnation" had faded, the invisible killing blow that "will kill you with a single glance" was forcibly severed at the waist by Chunyang Patriarch's "Sword One: Breaking Illusion".

"Pure Yang!!!"

With an incredulous roar, it erupted from Qingyuan Zhenjun's mouth for the first time, losing his composure.

His ancient face instantly drained of color, filled with shock and rage.

He never expected that Lü Chunyang would value this mere Foundation Establishment cultivator so much, not only bestowing upon him a life-protecting sword intent but also granting him such a powerful ability to counterattack.

Moreover, this first sword strike precisely shattered his prized spiritual annihilation technique, which killed without a trace, and even tore away all the pure celestial energy around him.

In the blink of an eye, just as the sword intent of Sword One Breaking Illusion was about to pierce the core of his mind, True Lord Qingyuan had no time to spare.

He suddenly brought his hands together in front of his body.

boom!
The celestial palace in the sky was suddenly illuminated by a pure and bright aura.

The entire sky over the East China Sea seemed to be instantly pulled into another dimension.

The boundless pure energy of heaven and earth condenses into layers upon layers of magnificent palaces and jade pavilions, with red steps and jade staircases, as thick and heavy as city walls forged from ancient black iron, exuding grandeur, solemnity and sanctity.

This is his Golden Core Dao Domain Manifestation Grotto-Heaven, Qingyuan Immortal Palace.

In an instant, the pure white, flawless sword light that could pierce through all illusions and deceptions crashed into this world composed of celestial energy.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a sharp, soul-piercing sound of annihilation.

Chi!

The moment the Sword Intent of Breaking Illusion came into contact with the Pure Qi of the Immortal Palace, a large number of seemingly unbreakable palace phantoms, talisman seeds, and law chains silently disintegrated and collapsed, like snowflakes thrown into a scalding blade.

The characteristics of the Sword Intent of Delusion Breaking were brought to their fullest extent at this moment, specifically to break through all illusory obstacles. No matter how vast these obstacles may be, their foundation lies in the evolution of pure energy, and their core is ultimately a combination of energy and laws.

Xu Yunfan could clearly see that the aura of the Breaking Illusion Sword Intent was being worn away and consumed as it broke through the Qingyuan Immortal Palace of the Qingyuan True Monarch's Cave Heaven.

Although the sword light was weakened layer by layer, its momentum was not exhausted.

That piercing, all-seeing will carved a cone-shaped passage through the ocean of celestial energy that formed a barrier.

The celestial palace's pure energy surged violently, its light flickering erratically, emitting a mournful cry of unbearable strain that shook the entire East Sea.

Finally, the sword light exhausted its last bit of power, dissipating about a foot away from Qingyuan Zhenjun's brow. The sword energy vanished.

The pure energy of the celestial palace rapidly contracted, once again enveloping True Monarch Qingyuan.

His face was so dark it was almost dripping with water, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he stared intently at Xu Yunfan, all traces of his aloof and otherworldly demeanor vanished.

What enraged him even more was...

Click!

Chi Chi!

The protective aura barrier surrounding him, which was normally strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Golden Core cultivator, was now silently collapsing, flickering like a candle in the wind before finally turning into specks of light and vanishing completely.

Although the sword strike that shattered illusion was ultimately blocked by the immortal pure energy manifested by his Dao Fruit, it completely shattered the permanent protective pure energy barrier that he relied on to protect himself. When he tried to restore it, he found that a sword intent was like a maggot clinging to his bone, constantly blocking his way.

A deathly silence fell over the scene.

Holding the Star Spirit Banner, with Ye Xuan imprisoned beside him, Xu Yunfan's chest heaved violently as he withstood a direct attack from a True Monarch. Even though it was just a passive defense, the soul-shaking effect brought about by the difference in their status almost made him vomit blood.

Fortunately, Master Chunyang was very helpful.

The results brought about by this sword intent exceeded his expectations.

Is this what a Golden Core sword cultivator is like?

Now, one of the three life-saving sword intents has been lost.

But Xu Yunfan has no regrets.

Qingyuan Zhenjun stood in mid-air, his protective aura completely gone, and the hem of his magnificent Taoist robe was torn in several places by the remaining sword energy.

The shock and anger in his eyes burned like real flames, locking onto Xu Yunfan, his killing intent almost solidifying into ice spikes.

But he did not make another move immediately.

The power of the sword and the imprint of Lü Chunyang's signature aura made him extremely wary.

A thousand years ago, whenever Chunyang Zhenjun fought against Zhenjun of the same level, he would use three swords: one to shatter illusion, one to annihilate calamity, and one to ensure no return.

The three sword techniques have severely injured countless True Lords during great calamities.

He could naturally sense that there were two equally dangerous auras lurking within Xu Yunfan's sleeves, ready to be unleashed.

Sword II: Annihilation?

Is it still Jianwang 3: No Return?

Even for him, taking two more sword intents head-on would not be easy.

As a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm, if he were to take the attack head-on, it would likely damage his own spiritual realm.

More importantly, although the atmosphere in this East China Sea region is chaotic, the commotion caused by his mobilization of a massive amount of immortal pure energy to resist Jian Yi has far exceeded that before.

Did the True Lord of Salvation, or even the people of the Ten Thousand Chariots Sword Sect, notice anything?

Will they follow the trail and investigate?

Forcibly suppressing his boiling killing intent, True Monarch Qingyuan stared intently at Xu Yunfan, his eyes icy and piercing, as if trying to etch Xu Yunfan's image into the depths of his soul: "Xu Yunfan...you are very good! Very good!"

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, filled with deep-seated hatred. "I will remember what happened today!"

Before he finished speaking, he took one last deep look at Xu Yunfan, his eyes filled with complex and unfathomable emotions, including hatred, anger, fear, and a hint of seriousness that was hard to detect.

Immediately, his figure faded and disappeared as if it had merged into ink painting, leaving no spatial fluctuations and vanishing silently from the spot.

It was as if it had never existed, leaving only the East Sea void, which was now even more chaotic and fragmented, as well as the lingering, dense, and unyielding golden elixir energy in the air and the icy Daoist charm left by the shattered immortal palace's pure energy.

The heavy pressure suddenly dissipated.
Xu Yunfan swayed and almost fell from mid-air.

He forced down the metallic taste in his throat, breathing heavily, his back soaked with cold sweat.

However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a white jade hand suddenly appeared behind his head, its five fingers spread out, pressing down on him.
