Invincible!

Chapter 153 Life and Death
Yan Cailian's magic is the Heavenly Extreme Sword Intent!

A powerful and protective magic technique!

She was only at the upper-level Dao Foundation stage. In order to ensure that the power of this spell could be brought out, she not only created a three-realm magic weapon specifically for this sword spell, but also practiced the Five Elements method, which was also created to amplify this sect-protecting spell.

Therefore, her attacks lacked variation.

But it also made her swordsmanship even purer!
The dissipated sword intent reformed with incredible speed.

Moreover, the sword intent within it not only cuts through momentum and energy, but also slays the spirit.

When the sword strike came down again, carrying its sword intent, Li Xian clearly realized that his attempt to reassemble the Rising Sun Sword Moment was torn to pieces!
Recreating the world!?

Passing the torch from generation to generation!
Even though he is incredibly resilient and his talent, once broken and collapsed, can quickly rebuild, he is still affected after being shattered again by the Heavenly Sword Intent.

It's as if all living beings in this world have had their backbone and spirit stripped away, leaving them in a daze. No matter how beautifully this world is built, the people living in it are nothing more than a bunch of walking corpses!
That's a kind of disintegration that originates from the spiritual level!

Even Li Xian was affected by this collapse.

The thought even crossed my mind that this world was beyond saving.

Let the masses rot away in numbness and depravity.

This is the power of the Heavenly Sword Intent technique!

He shattered all of the opponent's sword techniques with overwhelming force, and then, relying on his own already stronger magical power, he unleashed a continuous offensive, ultimately defeating the opponent completely.

Break their momentum!
Slay its spirit!
Destroy his body!

"Boom!"

The Sun-Chasing Sword Qi and the Heavenly Extreme Sword Intent collided one after another!
Even though the magical power Li Xian drew from the blue crystal was equivalent to the third realm, and even though the Heavenly Extreme Sword Intent was not good at physical destruction, how could he possibly contend with her sword magic when his sword momentum had already been completely shattered by Yan Cailian's magical sword intent?

"Sword intent! This is the sword intent I've been searching for!"

Li Xian stared intently at Yan Cailian's descending Heavenly Sword Intent!
That was a power completely different from sword intent!
One type is the power that transforms the abstract into the concrete after a spiritual metamorphosis!

Back when he first clashed with the Crimson Scaled Fish Demon in the Cloud Mist Swamp, the opponent's seemingly "alive" strength had already piqued his curiosity.

Later, he understood that power...

It's called Divine Strength!

To unleash extraordinary power requires both physical strength and unwavering spirit.

Li Xian cultivated diligently for a long time, and only after cultivating the Chaos Heavenly Demon did he master this power.

This kind of "lively" force was used when dealing with Yan Shuirou.

However, human strength is finite, and not all cultivators possess extraordinary physical abilities.

But the spirit is boundless.

Later generations innovated and combined boundless spirit with the mysteries of swordsmanship to create a power even stronger than divine force—sword intent!
A power powerful enough to shatter the spiritual consciousness of all four realms!
In theory, only those who have cultivated spiritual awareness can truly comprehend the essence of swordsmanship.

Li Xian was no exception.

However, not long ago, he had clashed with a fourth-realm sea serpent.

Although the Four Realms Sea Serpent did not master the power of "intention," it was able to personally experience and observe the basis of this power's existence through the spiritual consciousness derived from the Four Realms.

He caught a glimpse of the nascent form of sword intent.

at the moment……

He was facing sword intent in the sense of magic!

The Heavenly Sword Intent is derived and simulated using the sect's most powerful magic, and its effect is indistinguishable from the real sword intent!

"Come!"

Faced with this sword intent, Li Xian once again unleashed his sword power and rose to the challenge.

"Boom!"

The next second, countless sword energies mixed with sword intent rolled down, crushing the newly formed sword momentum into dust.

The sword energy maintained its unstoppable momentum, relentlessly bombarding his Chaos Demon Body. Even though the Chaos Demon Body was enhanced with Fu Li's magic power, as if it were wearing a set of dark golden armor, it still could not withstand the barrage of sword energy.

Fu Li's magical power was violently fluctuating, seemingly on the verge of collapsing under this swordsmanship.

"Heavenly Sword Intent! This is the power of the sect's most powerful technique!"

Nangong Feixu, whose attention was mostly focused on Li Xian, watched this scene from afar with worry in her eyes: "Yan Cailian has completely integrated the magic weapon and sword intent into one. The sword energy contains sword intent, and the sword intent contains sword energy. Every time the sword energy collides, one has to bear the impact of sword intent, tearing one's mind and soul apart... This kind of attack is simply not something that a cultivator who is not at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top Realm can withstand!"

Can't stop!
Facing Yan Cailian, who was now unleashing the full power of her Heavenly Sword Intent and displaying the formidable prowess of a Grand Sect Disciple...

Mr. Li...

He couldn't stop him at all!

If this trend continues, his true form will be destroyed in just a few breaths!

Once the true form of Fuli is lost...

Under the Heavenly Sword Intent, Li Xian is doomed!

With this thought in mind, Nangong Feixu focused her mind.

The Taiyin Xuan Guang shone brightly, like a pillar of light, rushing straight towards Jiang Rufeng.

Jiang Rufeng's pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately activated the Danxia Sword Sect's most treasured and exquisite technique—Crimson Cloud Treasure Qi—to protect his mind.

At the same time, he used his escape techniques to the fullest extent to avoid the illumination of the Taiyin Xuan Guang.

Fortunately, he was a powerful cultivator at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top stage, with perfect essence, energy, and spirit, making him extremely resistant to the Taiyin Mystic Light.

If he were still in the stage of perfect five elements and had not yet activated the Shangyuan Cave Heaven, which is known as the Ancestral Aperture, his soul would have been frozen by the attack of Taiyin Xuan Guang, and then beheaded by the sword light that followed.

Even though he had the advantage in cultivation level, under the illumination of Nangong Feixu's Taiyin Xuan Guang, he could only protect himself and had no time to fight back.

Especially after this great disciple unleashed his full power with the Taiyin Profound Light, forcing him to retreat and dodge, the opponent directly left the battlefield and headed straight for Yan Cailian.

This scene was immediately noticed by Yan Cailian, who was using the Heavenly Extreme Sword Intent to forcefully break through Li Xianfu's true body and Chaos Heavenly Demon body.

"Stop her!"

Yan Cailian gave a sharp shout.

"Didn't you say three breaths!?"

Jiang Rufeng's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Three breaths have long passed!

"Stop her! If we fail to kill Li Xian today, I, as a true disciple, may be unharmed, but you will surely die!"

Yan Cailian gave the cruel order.

Pain flashed in Jiang Rufeng's eyes.

But more often than not, it was a resolute decision.

Wealth and wealth are found in danger.

At that moment, he pushed the Crimson Glow Treasure Qi to its limit, and relying on the advantage of spiritual consciousness derived from his realm, he barely managed to withstand the Taiyin Profound Light.

“Jiang Rufeng! Li Xian is a figure from our Great Luo Immortal Sect who has been listed on the ‘Hidden Dragon in the Abyss’ list, a future Golden Core seed! If anything happens to him, the sect will definitely investigate to the end! If you leave now, I can let bygones be bygones! Otherwise, according to the sect’s actions, even if it’s just suspicion, you will be doomed!”

Nangong Feixu shouted.

"A hidden dragon lurking in the abyss!?"

Jiang Rufeng was deeply shaken.

Li Xian is no ordinary core disciple; he has such a background!
No wonder!

No wonder he, a mere cultivator at the Magic Power Realm, is so powerful!
For a moment, Jiang Rufeng felt as if he had been tricked into joining a pirate ship.

But things had already come to this point, and the arrow was already on the bowstring, so he had no choice but to act.

Looking back and forth will only lead to nothing.

He had no choice but to persevere and buy more time for Yan Cailian, sticking to his plan until the very end!
……

At this moment, Li Xian's Chaotic Demon Body was teetering on the verge of collapse.

Fu Li's true form is on the verge of collapse.

Once a spell is broken, at best the spell's power will be disrupted and combat strength greatly reduced; at worst, one's cultivation level will drop, or even one's life and cultivation will be destroyed.

But under such danger, his eyes shone even brighter.

Countless inspirations sparked in the collision of sword momentum and sword intent.

Countless thoughts surged as his magical power was severed by the sword intent.

seem……

Almost!
Just a little bit closer!
At this moment, Yan Cailian seemed to sense something as well.

too long!
She has wasted too much time on Li Xian!
Jiang Rufeng might not be able to hold on at any moment!
Delay may lead to unforeseen changes!

At that moment, countless images flashed through her mind.

From cultivating in childhood and defeating his own clan, to joining the immortal sect, he proceeded step by step with great care.

Then, one must lay the foundation for one's path and diligently practice magical arts.

Two cycles of sixty years, through diligent and tireless work, she has achieved what she has today.

If we don't seize this opportunity to kill Li Xian and force him to retreat back to his sect to cultivate in seclusion, given the talent and potential he has shown...

No need for the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top!

Once the Five Qi converge, she will completely lose the chance to kill him!

and so……

"once!"

Yan Cailian understood immediately.

This is her only chance to kill Li Xian!
A belief that life or death was embodied in this true disciple.

Her will began to boil.

From all directions, seemingly endless streams of sword light and phantoms rolled in, all converging on the divine sword she suddenly raised high.

In a daze, it seemed as if all the true essence of swordsmanship from the ancient eight wastelands was being summoned and condensed into this one sword strike.

This summoned, omnipresent sword intent, which shone brightly alongside the magical artifact in her hand, combined with her boiling will and the magical power that evolved into sword intent, made her truly like an invincible peerless sword immortal, wielding all the true essence of swordsmanship in the nine heavens and ten earths, and transforming into a sword monarch with thousands of sword shadows.

"Mr. Li!"

Yan Cailian gave a low shout.

With one sword strike, ten thousand swords return to one.

With the amplification of all the true essence of swordsmanship, Yan Cailian's Heavenly Sword Intent seemed to have truly achieved the feat of human will conquering heaven and defying fate!

This sword strike seemed to break through the limits of swordsmanship, truly stepping into the realm of sword intent.

This will, wielding the sword that rules over all living beings, desires to annihilate all creatures that stand in her way with overwhelming force.

In the distance, Nangong Feixu, who was suppressing Jiang Rufeng with all her might, stared wide-eyed.

"Heavenly Sword Without Limits!"

Information she had gathered over the years to collect data on Yan Cailian flashed through her mind: "Back then, Yan Cailian once used the sword intent of this sword to kill a fifth-realm demon!"

This……

This is definitely Yan Cailian's strongest sword strike!
however……

Faced with this sword strike that swept down with countless sword intents and sword energies, Li Xian showed no intention of dodging it.

Even so, at this moment, his Chaotic Demon Body was already on the verge of its limit.

Fu Li's true form is also on the verge of collapse.

but……

He still looked up, staring directly at the sword above his head.

"Truly...splendid swordsmanship!"

If he hadn't come into this world, he probably would never have known in his entire life that swordsmanship and sword intent could be developed to such an extent.

This sword intent technique...

It is filled with a sense of defying fate and the brilliance and splendor of human determination conquering nature.

Fear is a survival instinct!

Courage is the hymn of humanity!

It is precisely because humanity possesses this courage and fighting spirit to defy fate and never give up that it has been able to create one moving and legendary epic after another.

This……

And this is merely a sword technique performed by a sword cultivator at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top realm!

Above that, there are the Taiyin and Taiyang, and the immortal elixir that grants lifespans of a thousand years!
And, the immortal beings who span countless ages and live forever, and even the immortal true immortals who are said to live as long as heaven and earth and shine as brightly as the sun and moon!

When they master the unparalleled swordsmanship created from the essence of ten thousand or even a hundred thousand years of wisdom, and unleash it in a state of extreme passion and self-transcendence, letting it bloom freely...

How dazzling must that light be!?

he……

We should go see it.

You absolutely have to see it!

Even if he is ultimately burned by the dazzling sword light or incinerated by the blazing sword energy, he will have no regrets and will not hesitate to sacrifice everything!

If you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening!

And if one wishes to continue to hear the Way and attain enlightenment...

His first task was to condense his already mastered swordsmanship and elevate it to the extreme into an equally brilliant and dazzling sword strike, in order to confront and break through this sword strike!
"Hahaha!"

Li Xian let out a long howl.

With this fervor, longing, and soul-deep sincerity, his spirit and soul seemed to begin to burn fiercely, constantly being refined and tempered under the flames!
At some point...

This rigorous training seems to have honed something!
A flash of inspiration!
A moment!
A fleeting glimpse!

but……

He caught it!
The moment it was captured... the state remained constant!
His thoughts and consciousness broke through the limits and constraints of the spiritual level with this moment of inspiration!
Who says one can only cultivate sword intent by condensing spiritual consciousness?!
Heavenly Sword Intent: Man will conquer nature!
The amplification from the dual overlimit state allowed him to transform all his sincerity, fervor, longing, and beliefs into an indomitable will that could overcome all obstacles and move forward with unwavering strength, possessing the power to break through all mental shackles...

Draw your sword!

The five elements' magical power within the blue crystal seemed to be drained in an instant!
His sword strike was a blazing, sublime display of joy and exhilaration, carrying with it an unprecedented sense of delight and happiness!

An immense joy that comes from the heart and originates from the soul!
Filled with this joy, sincerity, and conviction, he saw nothing else. All his spirit, conviction, and will were focused on the Heavenly Sword Intent that Yan Cailian had unleashed, and all that remained in his eyes was the desire for this life-or-death duel.

Whatever the outcome of this round of confrontation.

Regardless of whether he can break through the limitless power of this sword.

Regardless of whether his true form would collapse and shatter under this sword strike...

None of it matters!

The important thing is...

He thrust out this sword with the utmost sublimation.

He thrust the sword beyond his own limits.

He thrust the sword with great joy.

The sword is drawn without regret.

The sword is drawn without fear.

Once the sword is drawn, there is no regret.

"I am invincible!"

……

The clash between sword intents created a distortion in the void.

Two sword intents: one is the belief that man can conquer nature, the desire to use the sword in hand to defy fate and ultimately dominate the world!
The other one also carries a hint of human determination to conquer nature...

But his sword breaks free from constraints and oppression!

This kind of constraint and oppression...

It is heaven and earth and all things!
It is the destiny of all beings!
It is also one's own spirit and soul!

Only by breaking free from all constraints can one attain true freedom, great joy, and great liberation!
The sword intent was dazzling!

The two sword intents collided like meteors hitting the earth, instantly unleashing boundless light and heat!
Both Nangong Feixu and Jiang Rufeng, who were partially focused on watching the battle, felt a stinging pain in their minds, as if they were being burned by an invisible light.

It seemed that the light and heat were not illusions formed by the dissipation of sword intent and the impact on the mind, but rather the real apocalypse caused by the falling stars, which burned the sky and boiled the sea!
Annihilation!

The two sword intents clashed fiercely, crumbling and annihilating inch by inch!
In this unadorned collision and annihilation, the sword intent between the two was clearly fighting to the death.

"Buzz!"

It was as if a thunderous sound wave exploded in their mental world, tearing all their thoughts and consciousness to shreds!
At that moment, their minds seemed to come to a standstill.

"To burn jade and stone together" means to burn jade and stone together.

The moment the sword intent vanished, both Li Xian and Yan Cailian suffered the backlash from the collapse of the sword intent!

Yan Cailian uses the Heavenly Extreme Sword Intent to evolve sword intent.

The moment the sword intent is shattered is equivalent to the spell being broken!

The backlash caused his thoughts to become scattered and his magical power to become chaotic on the spot!
In particular, since she used her superior Dao foundation to cultivate the sect's protective magic, almost all of her strength was focused on the Heavenly Extreme Sword Intent. Once the sword intent was broken, her aura plummeted.

As for Mr. Li...

The sword intent he had just cultivated was immediately shattered and disintegrated in this collision, and the backlash would crush his will and destroy his mind.

but……

Relying on the Chaos Demon Body, relying on its immortality, relying on...

Extraordinarily gifted!

He withstood the backlash of sword intent that theoretically caused mental and physical collapse and even dissipation of will, and forcibly concentrated his thoughts.

And not far away...

Awakened from the scorching light of the two sword intents colliding head-on, Jiang Rufeng stared wide-eyed at the two figures who were clearly both injured, his face filled with disbelief.

"Sword intent! Sword intent!"

A cultivator at the Dharma Power Realm, who had not yet activated his spiritual consciousness in the Upper Yuan Cave Heaven, had actually cultivated a sword intent that over 90% of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top cultivators could not achieve!

"How can it be!?"

The hidden genius of the Great Luo Immortal Sect...

No matter how abnormal it is, how could it be so powerful that it defies common sense?!

Spiritual awareness is the foundation for cultivating sword intent!
This kind of genius doesn't even care about basic common sense!?
Are he and they even the same species?!
After the initial shock, an unprecedented sense of dread washed over me.

Yan Cailian's magic has been broken!
With one's magical power in disarray, even if one hasn't fallen in cultivation level, it will definitely take a while to recover.

In this situation, they also have to face Nangong Feixu...

"escape!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Rufeng immediately withdrew and retreated rapidly, like a streak of light, escaping Nangong Feixu's attack range and shooting into the distance.

Nangong Feixu was also deeply shocked that Li Xian had actually cultivated sword intent before the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

"Sword Intent!"

Such extraordinary talents who break the fundamental rules are probably few and far between throughout the entire history of the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

Good thing...

Although extremely rare, it did happen once.

Therefore, she quickly realized what was happening.

She didn't chase after Jiang Rufeng; instead, she flashed and headed straight for their battlefield.

She didn't know the extent of the backlash from the clash of sword intent between Li Xian and Yan Cailian.

But when she sensed the fighting spirit that Li Xian was trying to regroup, she stopped.

The sword intent, thwarted...

Only victory can allow us to reclaim what we have!
……

"Sword Intent!"

Yan Cailian, who was the first to calm her chaotic magical power, tilted her head, gritted her teeth, and her face was filled with shock, horror, and even...

His face was contorted in a grotesque expression, it was unbelievable.

When she saw how quickly Li Xian had cultivated his magical power, she knew that this was her only chance to kill him.

But she never imagined that even though her actions were so decisive and she had seized this one and only opportunity so precisely, in the end…

It still ends up like this!
Mr. Li...

At the very last moment, he grasped the essence of swordsmanship!
And they fought a fierce battle with her Heavenly Sword Intent, resulting in mutual destruction!
"My entire life has been held hostage and burdened by the Yan family. To support them, I have expended a great deal of resources. Otherwise, I would have more than just a third-realm magic weapon! More than just a superior-grade Dao foundation! I would not have lost today's battle..."

Do not!
She hasn't lost yet!
The battle isn't over yet, who says she's lost!?
Both were severely injured; her spell was broken, her magical power was in disarray, and Li Xian's condition...

He's definitely worse than her!

She still has a chance!
"In the duel, you have truly matched my achievements with your strength, but..."

Yan Cailian suddenly sprang up and fiercely pounced on Li Xian, whose will had been broken.

"Today's battle is not about victory or defeat, but about life and death!"

At this moment, Yan Cailian actually ignited the chaotic magical power within her body!
The only chance!
She had no way out!
Burn yourself out!

put all one's eggs in one basket!
There is only death and no life!

"call out!"

The three-realm magic weapon, a longsword, carrying sword energy, tore through the void!

At this moment, Yan Cailian seemed to return to the time when she was a princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty, fighting bloody battles with three other candidates who were more outstanding than her.

At that time, she was not the most outstanding person in the Yan family, but she relied on her unwavering determination, indomitable will, and indomitable belief to defeat all competitors step by step, reach the pinnacle, stand at the highest point, and finally step into the Immortal Sect...

Change your destiny against the will of heaven!

He will become the most outstanding prodigy in the history of the Yan family!
She was able to overcome numerous difficulties and obstacles back then...

The same is true today!
"kill!"

"Well done!"

Li Xian's will and spirit have not yet been fully rallied.

He was so distracted that he couldn't even concentrate on seeing his opponent clearly!

However, he could sense his opponent's burning fighting spirit.

That kind of burning self-sacrifice, that unwavering determination!
This kind of opponent...

Regardless, he will give it the utmost respect!

Unable to concentrate!?
Magic power cannot be gathered!?
Then let's use physical strength!

Use the Chaos Demon Body!

With this body of flesh and blood, forged through countless trials and tribulations to its ultimate strength!
"Boom!"

Driven by this fighting instinct, every muscle, bone, flesh, organ, viscera, and even every cell in Li Xian's body was cheering and rejoicing.

Let us sing with abandon to enjoy such a thrilling battle!
"kill!"

He raised his right hand high, gathering his energy into a sword, and directly met Yan Cailian, who was charging with a magical weapon but also couldn't muster much magical power.

The power to recreate the universe, along with the sword energy that is passed down from generation to generation and even reborn from the ashes, collided with Yan Cailian's charging body.

Magic power, true energy, strength, blood and qi, sword stance, swordsmanship, fist techniques...

No matter what power you have!
And no matter what power it can unleash!
At this moment, everything was unleashing the most resolute and devastating bombardment!
This is a clash between flesh and blood!

This is a clash of beliefs!

Yan Cailian knew that between her and Li Xian, only one of them could survive!
And Mr. Li...

he does not know……

He didn't want to know!

All he wanted was to satisfy his burning desire to fight!
at the same time……

Satisfy your opponent to the fullest!

You die, I live!
……

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Violent collisions continued to erupt between the two!

I've exhausted my magic power, so I'm using my true energy!

When true qi is exhausted, use qi and blood!

When your Qi and blood are exhausted, use your strength!
No one backed down, and no one hesitated!
At some point...

Li Xian's punch suddenly missed its mark.

This sudden stop left him somewhat bewildered, having caught his breath and regained a little of his composure.

After a while, his eyes gradually focused.

His gaze fell upon what was in front of him.

It was a figure with a broken arm, a crushed right foot, torn ribs, and only one eye left...

At that moment, she collapsed.

But the gaze...

He was still staring intently at Li Xian.

I want to get back on my feet, I want to fight again...

Just like when she defeated one opponent after another, entered the Great Luo Immortal Sect, forged a superior Dao foundation, and fought her way into the position of true disciple.

pity……

No matter how much she struggled or tried, her body felt as if it no longer belonged to her...

It's impossible to control even the slightest bit.

Therefore, she could only stare at Li Xian with her eyes, and within them, it seemed, still burned a flame, a flame...

The flames seemed intent on burning him to ashes!

Li Xian looked at her.

After a long while, he said, "You lost."

Those three words made the flames in Yan Cailian's eyes flare violently.

"I……"

She was unwilling to accept it and refused to admit it.

But a moment later, she saw Li Xian's face, which, though stained with blood, was still so young and full of vigor.

In a daze, she remembered...

Li Xian was only twenty-five years old.

Li Xian, he is only at the second level of magical power.

And she...

The next moment, the belief that Yan Cailian had always held in her heart collapsed.

"Lost..."

The flame in his eyes gradually died out.
