Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

The sword energy, like a hot knife cutting through butter, silently sliced ​​into the giant claw and then cleaved it in two!

"Pfft!"

The giant claw shattered, turning into a shower of black rain.

Elder Taotie groaned, and a deep, bone-revealing sword wound appeared on his right palm.

Dark golden blood dripped down, each drop as heavy as a mountain, smashing deep craters into the ground.

The entire room fell silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the bluish-gray sword energy floating in mid-air, and then looked at the end of the sword energy.

There, Wan Jianyi was slowly sheathing his sword.

In his hand lay the most treasured artifact of the Qingyun Sect, an ancient and deadly weapon—

The Immortal-Slaying Sword!

"The Immortal-Slaying Sword! It's Dao Xuan Zhenren's Immortal-Slaying Sword!"

"We're saved! Dao Xuan Zhenren has arrived!"

"No...it seems to be just sword energy..."

After a brief silence, the allied army erupted in thunderous cheers.

Although it was just a sword aura, and it only temporarily forced back the Golden Immortal.

But this was the first time since the start of the war that they had seen any hope of victory!

"What a vicious sword."

Elder Taotie stared at the Zhuxian Sword in Wan Jianyi's hand, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes, but it quickly turned into greed.

"However... you don't seem to be able to unleash its true power."

"Was this sword energy injected beforehand?"

Wan Jianyi gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his expression solemn, and he did not answer.

Indeed, the three sword energies in the Zhuxian Sword were left by Daoxuan with his life essence before he went into seclusion.

Each one contained the full force of an early-stage Golden Immortal's attack.

That last sword strike had already used up one of his swords.

"No matter how many sword energies there are, today will surely be the day your Taotie clan is destroyed!"

Wan Jianyi spoke loudly, his voice echoing across the battlefield.

At the same time, he secretly transmitted his voice to Gu Yuan and the others: "Everyone, our sect leader is on his way. Please hold on for a little longer!"

Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Pool of Qingyun Gate.

The Taiji Array, which had been operating for a month, finally reached its final moment.

At the center of the formation, Dao Xuan slowly opened his eyes.

In his eyes, the yin and yang energies had completely merged.

A jade seal the size of a fist floated in front of him.

The seal is in black and white, with one side depicting the sun soaring in the sky and the other side depicting the bright moon in the sky, with endless stars flowing between the sun and the moon.

The seal knob is shaped like a Tai Chi symbol with two fish, rotating slowly, each rotation resonating with the laws of the universe.

The bottom of the seal is engraved with four ancient seal characters, each stroke containing the true meaning of the Great Dao:

【镇·世·乾·坤】

Around the jade seal, space was distorted and time was disordered, as if this treasure itself had transcended the laws binding this world.

"Finally...it's done."

Dao Xuan grasped the Qiankun Jade Seal, feeling the terrifying power contained within it.

That is the origin of the elixir energy left behind by the Emperor-grade embryonic elixir, the essence of countless rare and precious materials.

It is the ultimate fusion of the true fire of the sun and the true water of the moon.

It is also the ultimate sublimation of his own Tai Chi Dao and a drop of his life essence.

This supreme treasure surpasses even the Taiji Diagram that suppresses the Netherworld of Eternity.

He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the formation.

When it reappeared, it was already high in the sky, with the land of China beneath its feet and a blood-red sky in front of it.

Without hesitation, Dao Xuan transformed into a streak of black and white light.

It seems to be tearing space apart.

……

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted—Dao Xuan Zhenren was coming!

The peerless expert who suppressed Chonglou with a single palm and ranked third on the Heavenly Immortal Stele is finally going to personally come to the battlefield!

"Hmph, what arrogance!" Elder Taotie sneered, raising his palm again.

"I'd like to see how many sword energies are still within your sword!"

The second strike was even more powerful than the first.

Without hesitation, Wan Jianyi unleashed his second sword aura.

"boom--!"

The sword energy and the palm print collided again, this time evenly matched, and both were annihilated.

"The third one!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Elder Taotie's eyes as he unleashed his third palm strike with all his might.

The palm print blotted out the sky, aiming to crush Wan Jianyi and the tens of thousands of Qingyun disciples behind him!

Wan Jian gritted his teeth and unleashed his final sword energy.

The bluish-gray sword light shot into the sky, but this time... it was clearly at a disadvantage.

After all, it was just the sword energy left behind by Dao Xuan, while the Third Elder of Taotie's palm strike was an angry attack from a Golden Immortal.

"Pfft!"

The sword energy was mostly destroyed by the palm print, but the remaining palm force continued to press down.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and the others hurriedly joined forces to resist.

They barely managed to withstand the blow, but their faces turned pale and their blood was churning.

Wan Jianyi looked down at the dimly lit Zhuxian Sword in his hand; the three sword energies had been exhausted.

"There's no sword energy left in the sword, is there?" Elder Taotie laughed, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Well... it's time to end this."

He raised his right hand, and a jet-black ball of light condensed in his palm.

The sphere of light was small, only about the size of a fist, but it emanated an aura of destruction.

It made all the celestial immortals tremble with fear.

"This strike will send you all on your way."

The ball of light slowly flew out, and wherever it passed, space collapsed inch by inch.

Time flowed erratically, even light was swallowed up, leaving behind a dark trail.

That was a full-force attack from a Golden Immortal, enough to level an area of ​​tens of thousands of miles and annihilate an army of tens of millions!

Wan Jian gritted his teeth, ready to burn his own essence to forcefully activate the Zhuxian Sword.

Gu Yuan, Hun Tiandi, and others were also prepared to fight to the death.

But at that very moment!

"Click."

A soft cracking sound came from the depths of the void.

The sound was soft, yet it resonated clearly in the ears of every living being.

Then came the second sound, the third sound...

Countless cracking sounds surged forth like a tide, as if the entire world was collapsing.

Time seemed to slow down dramatically at that moment.

Everyone saw the pitch-black sphere of light, powerful enough to destroy the world.

Flying slowly through the air, as slow as a snail.

Then, they witnessed an even more shocking scene.

The sky has cracked open!

It wasn't broken, but rather a hole was forcibly torn open by some force.

The opening was initially only the size of a pinhead, but it quickly expanded, transforming into a vertical black channel.

Deep within the passage, the sun, moon, and stars could be faintly seen moving about, and chaotic energy surged.

A figure slowly stepped out from the passage.

He wore a blue Taoist robe, his white hair was as white as snow, and his face was as calm as an ancient well.

He held a fist-sized jade seal in his hand, which was black and white, with the sun engraved on one side.

One side is engraved with the moon, and between the sun and the moon are countless stars flowing.

It was Dao Xuan Zhenren, who had been in seclusion for a month, refining a supreme treasure!

"Master!"

"Sect Leader, Senior Brother!"

"Dao Xuan Zhenren!"

Countless shouts of joy echoed across the battlefield.

Dao Xuan did not respond, but simply looked at the slowly approaching black orb of light and softly uttered two words:

"town."

The Qiankun Jade Seal in his hand trembled slightly.

The next moment, a beam of silvery-white light shot out from the jade seal, like an inverted Milky Way, instantly enveloping the sphere of light.

Under the incredulous gazes of everyone.

The pitch-black orb of light, powerful enough to destroy the world, rapidly shrank and dimmed amidst the silvery-white light.

Finally, with a "poof," it vanished without a trace, like a bubble.

Elder Taotie's pupils contracted to their maximum, and for the first time, a look of horror appeared on his face.
