Invincible!

Chapter 217 Warm-up
"Everyone, attack together?"

Guan Canghai, Tantai Yue, Wei Lie, Song Xuanyan and the others all changed their expressions upon hearing Li Xian's words.

Tantai Yue, who had been calm and composed, suddenly became incredibly sharp-eyed.

Even before she had achieved her Golden Core, she was already among the top on the Ascension Ranking; now, with her Golden Core complete...

Let alone the top ten on the Ascension Ranking, even the top five, or even the top three, are qualified to try their luck.

And Mr. Li...

Despite being known as the number one true disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, he has never condensed a Golden Core and is not even a Dao Child. One-on-one is one thing, but this time he dared to speak arrogantly to her, Guan Canghai, and Wei Lie, three Golden Core cultivators at the same time.

Really...

So brave.

"Li Xian, even if you hadn't reached the Golden Core stage, let alone the fact that you haven't, challenging all of us is a gross underestimation of our abilities."

Guan Canghai said in a deep voice.

He didn't gain the upper hand in his head-on confrontation with Li Xian just now.

even……

They were still at a disadvantage.

This made him suspect that Li Xian's Floating Dawn True Body had already reached the seventh level.

So, after being repelled, he was somewhat hesitant and unsure whether to continue.

But now, Li Xian is courting death by challenging all of them to a duel?

“Li Xian, it seems you really think you’re Yi Yuanshi.”

Song Xuanyan said calmly, "But do you know that even when Yi Yuanshi was at the sixth level of True Fire, he didn't dare to be so arrogant as to provoke several Dao Child-level Golden Core cultivators?"

Not to mention them, even Shi Gui from Xianpinlou was somewhat panicked.

A mere sixth-realm cultivator dared to tell three Golden Core cultivators to "attack together"—such madness terrified him.

"I still miss the grand spectacle of facing the Xuanzhao Society and Taiyi Pavilion back in the inner sect... At that time, I single-handedly fought against dozens of innate disciples from the two major organizations..."

Li Xian suddenly sighed.

"innate……"

Wei Lie fell silent for a moment.

Li Xian, are you treating these Golden Core cultivators like Innate cultivators?

Within the inner sect, everyone is at least at the same cultivation level.

But now...

You, Li Xiancai, possess the Sixth Realm True Fire!
Li Xian ignored their true thoughts and simply stretched out his hand to them: "Come on, use your strongest spells and do your best to break my Floating Dawn True Body and make me feel a real fatal threat."

"..."

Wei Lie and Guan Canghai remained silent.

Song Xuanyan, who was also a disciple of the same lineage, couldn't help but speak up.

"Li Xian, you're arrogant!"

He suddenly let out a sharp shout.

This time, however, it was not the decisive Guan Canghai who made the first move, but the proud Tantai Yue of the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty.

"Be bold!"

With a clear shout, this celestial beauty, qualified to compete for the top three spots on the Ascension Ranking, waved her hand, and a beam of clear light shot out.

The clear light seemed to contain the power to purify everything, as if it could completely disintegrate all spells and true essence.

Upon seeing Tantai Yue, a Golden Core cultivator, make her move, Guan Canghai immediately followed suit.

Bathed in the undying starlight, he followed closely behind the clear light, about to launch his second attack.

Song Xuanyan was slightly slower, but he used the supreme technique of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect—the Great Sun Divine Light.

Therefore, even if the speed is slightly slower, relying on the characteristics of this supreme method, it can still strike first after being attacked later, and will closely follow Tantai Yue and Guan Canghai's attacks, serving as a third round of reinforcement.

But Wei Lie...

This Golden Core cultivator, who had verbally shown contempt for Li Xian, did not make a move at this moment.

It's understandable for a senior to discipline his junior.

What kind of thing is it to join forces with outsiders to besiege one's own true teachings?

On the other side, facing the combined attacks of two Golden Core cultivators and a top-tier sixth-realm expert, Li Xian neither dodged nor evaded.

"Well done!"

He even laughed loudly as he directly met the purifying light that Tantai Yue suddenly shot out, thrusting out with his right hand and quickly grabbing the light in his hand.

The seventh level of the Floating Dawn True Body, coupled with its internal chaos, devouring and many other characteristics, meant that the clear light only struggled in his hand for a moment before being crushed.

As he crushed Qingguang, he also clenched his left hand into a fist and faced Guan Canghai, who was rushing towards him.

It was still a heavy blow from a head-on collision.

Fist against fist, technique against technique!
The full-scale eruption of the Golden Core True Man's innate magic made Guan Canghai's punch contain boundless starlight, as if directly transporting people into a dazzling galaxy.

However, Li Xian's seventh level of magical skill, coupled with the inherent advantage of the Hunyuan Fuli True Body which surpasses even the most supreme magical techniques, meant that at the moment of collision, his body remained steadfast and unmoved, as stable as Mount Tai.

"Oh!"

The violent force, like a hurricane, exploded outwards again from the point of impact of their fists.

Almost simultaneously, Song Xuanyan's Great Sun Divine Light, like a giant laser cannon tearing through the void, struck Li Xian, who had just blocked the attack of two Golden Core cultivators and had no way to dodge.

"Boom!"

As if struck by a cannonball, a dazzling burst of light and flames exploded at the point of impact, illuminating the auction house brilliantly. The intense heat emanating from within created a raging fire that quickly ignited the surrounding void.

"bingo!"

The girl next to Song Xuanyan couldn't help but let out a surprised shout.

This strike was perfectly timed and hit the target directly.

"Senior Brother Song's Great Sun Divine Light has long been cultivated to the sixth level, and he is not far from the seventh level. Back when he was fighting in the outer sea, he used this technique to kill a seventh-level demon king. Its power was so great that even the most supreme protective methods could not stop it..."

The young girl, beaming with excitement, continued to describe the victory of this attack.

But the words were not finished...

The sound has stopped.

Yet, amidst that dazzling and brilliant light and flames, the enormous body manifested by Li Xian's Hunyuan Fuli True Body remained unchanged. The scattered flames made him resemble a god or demon bathed in firelight, adding to his ferocity.

And the place struck by the great sun's divine light...

Let alone tearing apart the defenses of the Hunyuan Fuli True Body, it couldn't even blast a hole in it.

At most, the surface charring and flames prove that this place was once attacked.

Suddenly...

Both the young girl and Song Xuanyan froze in their voices and expressions.

Li Xian tilted his head and glanced at this true disciple of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect. Then, he felt that he was not a threat at all, so he turned his head and looked at Guan Canghai in front of him.

Guan Canghai's expression changed drastically, and he unleashed another punch with his other hand. However, Li Xian did not dodge or evade. Instead, he suddenly moved forward, spread his five fingers wide, and grabbed Guan Canghai's fist that had unleashed its power.

The dazzling starlight of the Undying Starlight Body and the dark golden light of the Primordial Floating Dawn True Body burst forth as Li Xian grasped Guan Canghai's fist, as if cannonballs were constantly detonating within a small space.

"You're not strong enough!"

Li Xian pushed his arm forward, and in just a moment, the dark golden light had already overwhelmed the dazzling starlight of the Undying Starlight Body...

"The True Form of Fuli, the seventh level!?"

Immediately afterwards, to Guan Canghai's somewhat shocked and incredulous gaze, this fist, which was entirely made of starlight, was actually crushed by the giant hand formed from dark golden light.

"Oh!"

Hundreds of starlight beams exploded as if they had substantial mass, falling to the ground.

Each ray of starlight condensed into a special crystal, heavy enough to crush any wooden table or chair.

"call out!"

A clear light pierces the sky!

Another domineering white light, filled with the effects of purification and disintegration, swept across the void and struck Li Xianfu's true form directly in the chest.

However, amidst the collisions of rings of clear light and dark golden light, the clear light, which could even disintegrate the structures of fifth-realm and even sixth-realm magic treasures, could not do anything to the dark golden light of the Hunyuan Fuli True Body.

This scene……

This immediately caused Tantai Yue's eyes to widen, and she gritted her teeth: "My Su Yu Xuan Guang... How is this possible!?"

Li Xian, who blocked the beam of light, did not slow down at all. He crushed Guan Canghai's fist made of starlight with one hand, and suddenly swung out the other hand with the force of thunder, which slammed heavily onto the head of the Golden Core cultivator.

"Oh!"

Starlight is everywhere!

The enormous head of this Golden Core cultivator was smashed in half. The terrifying force acted on his radiant, indestructible starlight body, causing his massive body, which was over ten meters tall, to crash heavily to the ground.

Because the force of this blow was so great, Guan Canghai crashed to the ground, instantly shattering the ground into pieces.

Amidst a spray of stone chips and dust, he crashed to the ground, cracking and collapsing the floor, and fell directly to the next floor of the Immortal Pavilion.

Li Xian ignored this.

He strode forward and quickly walked towards Tantai Yue.

Tantai Yue stared intently at Li Xian, and with a wave of her right hand, a full moon appeared above her. As she poured her magic power into it, an even larger beam of clear light shot out and towards Li Xian.

At the same time, on the other side, Song Xuanyan also let out a low shout, raised his hands high, and a round mirror appeared between his hands. Brilliant flames burned in the round mirror. With a guide from this true disciple of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, the blazing and violent beam of light transformed into a divine sword that burned the void and pierced towards Li Xian's body.

Great Sun Divine Light!

It's still the Great Sun Divine Light amplified by a sixth-realm magic weapon!
Originally, Li Xian had already raised his right hand to block the impact of Su Yu Xuan Guang, but the Great Sun Divine Light arrived first after being launched later, like a ground-penetrating missile, with unparalleled penetrating sharpness, and hit Li Xian's head.

The violent explosion instantly generated flames and shockwaves that shattered the surrounding area for dozens of meters. The intensely hot shockwave also shook his body, causing his Fu Li True Form to tilt slightly.

"Zizi!"

In this situation, the right hand that was blocking the Jade Light seemed to be affected, and it quickly melted away under the power of this spell, like ice and snow being exposed to the scorching sun.

However, this dissolution lasted only a moment. With a flick of Li Xian's wrist, without even needing to deliberately use the Great Chaos Technique, the essence and disintegrating properties of this spell returned to chaos. Accompanied by the absorption property, the pure jade light that had turned into chaotic energy was quickly devoured and refined, causing the melted arm to rapidly recover.

Li Xian, who had blocked the attack, turned his gaze toward Song Xuanyan.

As his figure crashed through the flames, intense heat, and distorted air created by the explosion of the Great Sun Divine Light,
"How can it be!?"

Song Xuanyan's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He had already unleashed his natal magic weapon and delivered the strongest attack he could muster, but the result...

Even his protective spells couldn't break through!?
Especially when Li Xian stepped in, a suffocating sense of oppression emanated from the bronze-colored Hunyuan Fuli Zhen.

That feeling...

Just like when he was still a mortal, practicing slash-and-burn agriculture, wielding a wooden spear, facing off against a large mech more than ten meters tall, made entirely of special metal!

The feeling of despair that washed over him, even as he swung his wooden spear with dazzling skill, he couldn't even pierce the surface of the opponent's mech, made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"Brother, be careful!"

Just then, a panicked scream came from the side, barely waking Song Xuanyan from his shock.

"not good!"

Seeing the terrifying figure already closing in on him, Song Xuanyan immediately retreated. However, almost at the same moment he retreated, the dark golden figure that was pouncing forward seemed to detach from Li Xian's body, or rather, extend its own body, and pounced down, its huge palm slamming down on his retreating figure.

It's like swatting a mosquito!
"clang!"

A magical armor immediately appeared on Song Xuanyan's body.

The armor collided with the dark golden giant hand, producing a resounding, booming sound.

Even with his armor protecting him, Song Xuanyan was still struck by this palm strike, leaving him dizzy and spitting blood.

The violent force penetrated through the armor, bombarding his internal organs and nearly shattering them.

Such injuries would have been fatal to a cultivator who had not yet established a foundation for their Dao, or even one who had not yet cultivated their spiritual consciousness through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

And Song Xuanyan...

He wasn't killed by the slap, but the terrifying force still slammed him into the ground, like an upside-down onion.

After swiftly eliminating the troublesome disciple of the Yaoyang Immortal Sect, he turned and charged towards Tantai Yue.

This pampered young woman, who had been repeatedly struck head-on by spells but had been unable to break through Li Xian's protective magic, finally realized the gap between them.

Seeing Li Xian rushing towards him, he felt it was unbelievable, but he decisively turned and flew back, trying to rush out of the Immortal Pavilion.

but……

Li Xian's expression hardened, and a towering sword intent, seemingly containing billions of tons of weight, rolled down. This sword intent did not manifest any form, nor did it evolve into any supernatural power.

The sheer quantity of the Great Perfection Sword Intent and its unique attributes made Tantai Yue feel a heaviness in her mental processes.

"Dacheng Sword Intent!"

Tantai Yue let out a low shout.

She had already experienced Li Xian's masterful sword intent. The reason she dared to make a move was because she had a treasure that could temporarily amplify her spirit, allowing her to contend with Li Xian's sword intent.

I just didn't expect Li Xian's sword intent...

She is even better than Hou Tantai Qing, the champion who has also reached the same level of mastery and has sparred with her more than once.

Despite possessing a treasure that amplifies the spirit, she was still affected when she was suddenly attacked.

By the time she unleashed her power with the treasure and her mind returned to normal, Li Xian had already caught up with her.

Tantai Yue immediately retreated, trying to create distance between them.

But next second...

Her right foot was already grabbed by Li Xian's outstretched arm.

"not good!"

Tantai Yue's expression changed drastically, and she quickly activated the protective talisman bestowed upon her by the elders of the Immortal Dynasty, her body surface seemingly coated with a layer of golden light.

However, the rush of golden light could not stop the dark golden radiance from capturing her right foot.

As the dark gold arm that had seized her right foot swung her upwards, Tantai Yue, realizing what was happening, let out a piercing scream: "Li Xian, no! Stop..."

The next moment, the upward force slammed down even faster.

The sudden change in force and inertia almost snapped all the bones in her body.

After a violent, dizzying turn...

"Oh!"

I seemed to hear a loud crash.

Tantai Yue felt a violent jolt in her brain, as if her soul had drifted away from her body in the intense shock, and...

It kept drifting, drifting, without ever showing any sign of landing or returning to its body.

……

"That's it?"

Li Xian casually tossed aside the already concussed Tantai Yue, glanced at Song Xuanyan who was lying on the floor, and then at Guan Canghai who had just gotten up from the ground but dared not jump up again, still feeling unsatisfied.

These three people...

Guan Canghai is only at the level of Shura Daozi.

Song Xuanyan is at best at the level of a Golden Core cultivator.

As for Tantai Yue...

He's a bit stronger than that Golden Core cultivator, but a bit weaker than the Asura Dao Child.

This level of strength would have been enough for him to have a good time before he went to the lava volcano to cultivate, but now, it's just a warm-up at best.

"You don't even have the strength to hit someone, so where do you get the courage to cause trouble in the place I'm in charge of?"

Li Xian said casually.

Their gazes fell on Wei Lie.

This Golden Core cultivator from their Great Luo Immortal Sect hasn't made a move yet, so we don't know his exact strength.

With just that one look, Wei Lie, a Golden Core cultivator, felt fine beads of sweat quickly appear on his forehead.

But he maintained a strong composure: "As fellow disciples of the Great Luo Immortal Sect, how can we fight each other and become a laughing stock?"

"Oh."

Li replied first.

There was nothing more to say.

It's fine to do it in private, but doing it in front of so many outsiders...

Indeed, he became a laughing stock.

As for Bai Suxuan, who had previously relied on her status as the younger sister of Daozi, she had been burying her head in the sand the whole time. After witnessing one after another important figure at the Golden Core level taking the stage, she didn't dare to show her face at all.

Now that the Golden Core cultivators have been defeated one by one, they, like many of the spectators in the arena, dare not even breathe loudly.

"Too...too strong!"

"Two Golden Core cultivators! Both of them have cultivated supreme techniques and are equipped with sixth-level magic treasures, yet... neither of them can even withstand a single blow from Li Xian!? How is this possible!?"

"Insane! Absolutely insane! Isn't it said that after a seventh-level Golden Core cultivator cultivates their innate spell, the power of their spells will be significantly stronger? Why, why can't I feel any improvement in the innate spells of a Golden Core cultivator compared to the supreme spells of a sixth-level cultivator?"

"It's true, the rumors about the Heavenly Fiend Demon Sect are true! Li Xian's strength is so great, he could very well kill the Asura Dao Child!"

Although they dared not breathe, their thoughts were in turmoil.

Their eyes were filled with shock, disbelief, and disbelief.

I couldn't wait to tell everyone this earth-shattering news as quickly as possible, to vent the surging emotions in my heart.

Li Xian naturally had no idea what these people were thinking.

His gaze swept over everyone in the room with a hint of encouragement.

"So now, is there anyone who doesn't want to conduct the auction honestly and should step forward?"

Wei Lie was the first to sit down.

Because his private room was close to the battle site, even with multiple arrays absorbing the shockwaves from the battle at the Golden Core level, his room was still smashed to pieces, and none of the seats were intact.

So he simply sat down on the ground.

Not only him, but also some cultivators of the fifth and sixth realms who had not left before, and whose seats were affected by the aftermath of the battle, all sat down on the spot, sitting upright as if they were being pricked by needles.

"..."

Li paused for a moment.

Then, he turned his gaze to Shi Gui, who was hiding not far away: "Why are you sitting down?"

He frowned: "Stand up and continue presiding over the auction."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Shi Gui quickly got up, walked to the auction stage which had been reduced to fragments, and took out the Nine Heavens Breath Soil again.

Guests qualified to bid for the Nine Heavens Breath Soil...

He glanced at Song Xuanyan, who had crawled out of the ground, his face pale but silent, then at Tantai Yue, who seemed to still be unconscious, and then at Guan Canghai, who was unwilling to come up to the next level...

Finally, forcing a smile, he said, "Gentlemen... the auction continues... The price of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil is between 30 and 50 billion taels of gold. This small portion... is roughly equivalent to one-thirteenth of the whole portion... The starting price is 2 billion taels of pure gold, and each bid must be at least 10 million taels. Bidding begins now..."

After these words were spoken, the room remained silent.

No one dared to speak.

Even those with status and position in the room dared not bid arbitrarily.

For a moment, Shi Gui couldn't help but feel anxious: "This is the Nine Heavens Breath Soil. Although it's only one-thirteenth of the whole, it can still be used to assist in refining a supreme treasure for the Nine Realms Tribulation Transcending stage..."

Even Li Xian was somewhat surprised.

Why is no one bidding on such a treasure?

He then said, "This is a good item. If you are interested, please follow the auction rules and bid normally."

His words seemed to finally allow everyone in the room to relax their tense nerves a little.

But then Li Xian turned to Wei Lie and Bai Suxuan again: "You've come here to auction the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, haven't you? Are you going to bid?"

"Uh……"

When Wei Lie was called out, he felt his heart race.

Bai Suxuan, however, hesitated for a moment before calling out her bottom line: "Then... I'll offer two billion?"

"can."

Li nodded.

After he nodded, no one in the room dared to speak again.

Even though everyone knew he was just trying to keep the auction going, no one dared to bid again.

With Shi Gui feeling slightly unwilling, he repeatedly applied for confirmation, and thus, this Nine Heavens Breath Soil ended up in Bai Suxuan's pocket at an extremely low price.

This result left this true disciple of the Great Luo Immortal Sect in disbelief, as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

When the last item was sold at an extremely low price, the auction concluded...

The matter came to a relatively smooth conclusion.

Seeing this, Li Xian said to Shi Gui, "You can ask them for compensation for the damaged items later. Once the auction is over, our transaction will be complete."

"Yes, thank you, Master Li."

Shi Gui bowed respectfully.

As for compensation...

I would never dare to mention the Immortal City.

"It's just a transaction."

Li waved his hand.

His gaze swept over Wei Lie once more…

This Golden Core cultivator from the Great Luo Immortal Sect immediately focused his attention inward, keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead.

He seemed oblivious to Li Xian's gaze.

Not only him, but Guan Canghai, Song Xuanyan and others who had been shouting enthusiastically earlier also pretended to be dead, not daring to utter a single word.

Seeing this, Li Xian, still feeling unsatisfied, rose into the air and left the Immortal Delicacies Pavilion.
