Invasion Myth: Starting with the Schoolteacher

Chapter 1060 The temptation is over
This axe, carrying the immense force of clouds falling from the heavens and the terrifying power of the earth and mountains collapsing, crashed down fiercely!

The younger generation of humans! They can't stop me!

Yayu roared in his heart, and the stone axe tore through the sky, colliding violently with the golden-red stream of light!

however--

The moment the weapons clashed, there was complete silence.

Time seemed to be forcibly severed at this moment.

All sounds were silenced, all movements slowed down, and the entire battlefield fell into an eerie stillness.

then!

Light, being the fastest speed, became the first to announce this destruction.

The point at which the sword and axe blades collide unleashes a pure and ultimate light of destruction!
It was a dazzling interplay of pale white and blazing gold born from the most intense energy explosion, which instantly devoured everything at the center of the battle with an incomparably ruthless manner.

The light was so intense that it completely bleached the inherent yellow, blood-red, and lead-gray hues of the Yellow Springs Hell within a radius of a thousand miles! The entire world seemed to be immersed in an ocean of light.

The turbid Yellow Springs River became as transparent as crystal under this light, revealing the endless skeletons layered upon layered at the bottom of the river; the hideous faces of the demons watching the battle in the distance and the twisted souls of the karmic ghosts were all clearly revealed in this all-pervasive radiance, as if they were being observed under a magnifying glass.

Even the indestructible rock body of the Stone King took on a translucent quality under the light; Duke Zhuang of Zheng subconsciously raised his hand to shield his eyes, his soul feeling a stinging pain in the pure light.

The moment the light expanded to its maximum, the shockwave arrived.

Originating from the most thorough release of energy core, a turbid, ring-shaped shock wave, visible to the naked eye, expands wildly in all directions in a perfect sphere from the point where the sword and axe collide.

This shockwave was no ordinary airflow; it contained a terrifying power of energy collapse, and wherever it passed, space was violently distorted and deformed.

A ring-shaped shockwave swept across the earth, turning the ground upside down as if it had been ploughed up by an invisible giant plow, and the hard rock layers turned into dust in an instant.

The wandering spirits in the air, the pervasive malevolent aura, and even the omnipresent "sound" were forcibly pushed aside and annihilated by this absolute power, forming a brief vacuum dead zone in front of the shock wave—a place with no air, no sound, no energy, only the purest nothingness.

Just as this devastating circular shockwave swept out, leveling the distant hills of bones and pushing the River of the Dead into surging waves.
The real roar arrived with a thunderous crash, like a heavy burden left far behind by the light and impact.

"boom--!!!!!!!"

The deafening roar was a fusion of the mournful cry of metal, the roar of energy, and the tremor of space.

It was like billions of thunderbolts exploding in my ears at the same time, or like the painful groans of the entire underworld hell that could not bear the burden.

The sound waves followed the trail of light and shockwaves, violently filling every inch of space.

Those demons who managed to survive clutched their ears in agony amidst the sonic waves, while those with weaker cultivation exploded and died instantly; the karmic ghosts let out shrill screams, their souls twisting and deforming in the sound waves; even the ever-flowing Yellow Springs River briefly stopped flowing at this moment.

The moment Shi Wang sensed the energy collision, he grabbed the still-stunned Duke Zhuang of Zheng and ran off into the distance without hesitation.

This experienced demon king didn't even dare to look back at the light and shadow effects behind him, only focusing on escaping for his life.

Here we go again, here we go again.

This time, they can't even get close enough to watch the battle; it's truly a sad state of affairs for the demons.

It expected the battle to be intense, but it never imagined that Xu Xuan would come up without even testing the waters and immediately unleash his full firepower.

This kind of fighting style, where they fight to the death at the slightest disagreement, is too ancient.

As the shockwave swept in after them, the Stone King was even more grateful that he had evacuated in time.

The intense energy fluctuations caused its rocky demon body to tremble uncontrollably, a testament to the weak's instinctive fear of the strong.

The two powerful figures facing the impact are now experiencing an even more terrifying response.

They were both thrown back like two pebbles launched by a catapult.

Xu Xuan felt his bones groaning, his muscles tearing, his blood flowing backward, and even his soul trembling violently.

Is this a divine soul?! This can't possibly be a divine soul!

Putting everything else aside, Xu Xuan is a formidable expert in terms of pure strength, yet he has never encountered such tyrannical power before.

He was beaten so badly that his teeth were loose. This is outrageous! This is too much!
But just as he was flying backwards, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet hard in mid-air!
"Om-"

The space was rippled by the force of the footsteps.

He would rather suffer more internal injuries than fail to forcefully stop the process of flying backwards to dissipate the force and regain his momentum!

Because when facing an existence that can unleash such powerful abilities as summoning wind and rain on its own, one must never keep their distance.

Once the opponent gains casting space, they will be met with a devastating barrage of spells.

Only by engaging in close combat and entangled in a fierce battle, and seeking opportunities in close combat, can one unleash supernatural powers specifically targeting the soul.

This is the only way to determine the winner!

Unexpectedly, the Yayu on the other side did the same thing!
Just as Xu Xuan forcibly stopped his retreat and turned back to attack, the dark blue figure also plunged back into the still-unresolved shockwave without hesitation.

The two of them unexpectedly chose the most dangerous way to fight—to continue their battle amidst the turbulent energy currents!

Yayu's expression clearly showed that she was purely enjoying the battle.

Its smile carried an indescribable sense of exhilaration, as if it were venting some long-suppressed stubbornness, or perhaps resentment.

Was it resentment at being shot down by Yi the Archer? Or resentment at losing its sacred status? Perhaps even it couldn't say for sure.

The battle instantly entered an extremely intense, white-hot phase!

The Chilong Sword and the Stone Axe collided countless times in every instant.

The clanging of metal against metal was so dense and continuous that it sounded as if a million blacksmiths were forging weapons simultaneously. The flashes of swords and the shadows of axes intertwined to form a storm of death, completely engulfing the two men.

A human and a god engaged in an earth-shattering battle between the void and the islands surrounded by the underworld.

Sometimes they stood suspended in mid-air, sometimes they skimmed across the river. The aura emanating from each of their clashes caused the Yellow Springs River to tremble violently, stirring up towering waves. The spider lilies on the bank lay prostrate on the ground, trembling in the aftershocks, even their vibrant red light dimming.

King Shi protected Duke Zhuang of Zheng as they retreated again and again, until they were almost out of sight.

This demon king, who once dominated eight hundred miles of water, was now completely unsure of how to withstand the aftershocks of the battle. The vibrations from each collision made its rocky heart tremble.

In the sky, two figures intersected, separated, and intersected again like shooting stars. Each collision sent shockwaves of pale white energy ripples through the void, carrying with them lightning, flames, and torrential rain, spreading wildly in all directions.

Countless collisions have turned the area within a thousand miles into a new forbidden zone for life. The relentless release of light and heat is destroying everything in its path—the hills of bones have been razed to the ground, and the forests of the underworld have been reduced to charred remains.

After one stick of incense.
After countless head-on clashes, Xu Xuan was shocked to discover that he was steadily falling into a disadvantageous position!
He always said he was not good at swordsmanship, but that was only in comparison to a natural swordsmanship monster like Li Yingqi.

In fact, based on his own characteristics of cultivating both Buddhism and demonism, and combined with the powerful calculation and deduction abilities of the White Lotus Divine Soul, Xu Xuan had already figured out a fighting style that best suited him.

The countless life-or-death battles and the numerous brushes with death over the past three years have all become the most valuable resources for growth.

In the mortal realm, he was already an exceptionally talented fighting genius.

But the enemy before them was a unique being that had been dead and resurrected since ancient times.

Yayu's experiences were even more extraordinary than those of Xu Xuan, the "saint father."

First, he was a vassal under the Yellow Emperor, then he was assassinated and died. He was resurrected by the elixir of immortality and transformed into a ferocious beast, only to be shot down by Yi the Archer. Now, he is about to live a third life.

Even more terrifying is that this ancient deity had a much longer lifespan and participated in countless earth-shattering battles.

From the Yellow Emperor's conquests of all directions to his rampage across the Weak Water and wreaking havoc on humankind, his combat experience was absolutely overwhelming.

Theoretically speaking, the outcome should have been decided long ago.

Xu Xuan has been able to hold on until now entirely because he has built up a strong foundation and managed to maintain his undefeated status.

That's why the story of defying the superior realm is so amazing; every successful case is enough to be told throughout the land.

Because this means breaking with common sense, overturning perceptions, and accomplishing a feat that was almost impossible.

Of course, if the counterattack fails...
Most likely, he would die.

Xu Xuan used both hands to hold the sword and forcefully blocked Ya Yu's powerful and heavy slash.

The deep, resounding collision was like thunder from the heavens, its echoes spreading for eight hundred miles, forcing even the distant Stone King to retreat once more.

But this time, he couldn't completely stop the terrifying attack.

He groaned, feeling as if his internal organs were churning. A sweet taste rose in his throat, indicating internal injury. The violent impact made his body stiffen for a moment.

In such a high-intensity battle, this momentary lapse in concentration can be fatal!
In a flash, Yayu decisively abandoned the stone axe and twisted her five fingers like iron clamps to grasp the wrist of her opponent holding the sword.

This ancient deity possessed immense combat experience, giving its opponent no chance to breathe. It spun around, using the momentum to its advantage, and slammed Xu Xuan to the ground!
"boom--!!!"

That immense and terrifying power erupted completely, and the entire island shattered in response!

A massive crack stretched from the point of impact all the way to the edge of the island, and murky Yellow Spring water rushed in, turning the battlefield into a vast swamp.

The person who was smashed into the ground was in an even more horrific state.

The golden light surrounding it was covered with cracks even finer than those on a shattered island, as if it would collapse completely at any moment.

The internal injuries were even more severe, with multiple fractures in his immortal skin and jade bones, his Buddhist golden body on the verge of collapse, and even the inner landscape of his divine court was violently shaking and nearly collapsed.

Xu Xuan endured the excruciating pain and took a deep breath.

The fragments of Ksitigarbha's Pure Land immediately took hold of the Divine Court, barely stabilizing the collapsing inner landscape. Then, it unleashed the chaotic power of Buddha and demon as one, forcefully shaking off the approaching Yayu and narrowly dodging the stone axe that was about to strike again.

He crudely refined the prepared pills, letting the violent medicinal power rampage through his meridians.

I felt all sorts of negative feedback coming from my body.

Despite the stinging pain of shattered bones, the burning sensation of throbbing meridians, and the dizziness of agitated soul, the flames of war within Xu Xuan's heart only grew stronger.

Very good, the probing is over.

Did you know that the main characters can't unleash their ultimate abilities without getting injured?

Since that's the case, then let me show you my true fighting stance!

Wiping away the blood from the corner of his mouth, an unprecedentedly intense white light ignited in his eyes. Illusion and reality overlapped, and seductive scriptures floated out from his inner vision.

“窫窳”.

"Times have changed!"

White lotus flowers bloomed gracefully at Xu Xuan's feet, each petal radiating pure purifying power; crimson karmic fire rose from his body, scorching and distorting the surrounding air; pitch-black demonic energy surged forth like a tidal wave, carrying a terrifying aura that could devour everything; and brilliant golden Buddhist light gathered into a wheel above his head, showering down a protective radiance that was impervious to all laws.

The four distinct colors represent four mutually reinforcing and restraining power systems, which are now perfectly embodied by the human body.

Xu Xuan's aura reached a whole new level at this moment. What was even more terrifying was that the violent collision and interweaving between these power attributes completely obscured his true aura.

It was too chaotic and too complicated. Even an ancient deity like Yayu could not see through the layers of brilliance and reality for a while.

Yayu frowned slightly; it didn't really like these flashy special effects.

In its view, combat should be straightforward, and power should be pure and refined; these dazzling lights and shadows are not very helpful in actual combat.

Little did they know that Xu Xuan had his own plans.

Just as the enemy was distracted in assessing the practicality of these special effects, he suddenly moved!

The Chilong Sword swept out horizontally, its sharp sword energy forcefully creating space for the battle.

Then, it opened its mouth and spat out a burst of blazing Eight-Step Heavenly Dragon Fire, the blinding flames illuminating the entire battlefield and temporarily obscuring the view.

Just as there are no fixed formations in warfare, water has no fixed shape. One who can adapt to the enemy's changes and achieve victory is called a master strategist.

All the special effects are tactics!

Xu Xuan understood this principle well. It would be difficult to defeat this ancient deity with brute force alone; a surprise attack was necessary.

At the very moment when the flames were at their brightest, hidden beneath the sleeves of his robes, twenty-seven Asura Blades shot out silently!
These demonic blades spontaneously formed a mysterious array in the air, and their chilling aura instantly condensed into a three-headed, six-armed Asura form.

This phantom of an evil god already possessed terrifying and malevolent power. Now, with the addition of gold, red, black, and white colors, it became even more vivid and domineering, as if a real Asura had descended.

Taking advantage of the moment when Yayu's vision was obstructed, they charged forward!
All of this was just a prelude.

Next, the Asura Blade Formation will transform into a rain of blades that explodes completely, severing the physical body and invading the mind, creating an opportunity for the final, fatal blow!
This battle should end!
The radiance of the white lotus began to gather, and the innate divine power sang praises of the future of their homeland in the void.
