Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

He gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, raised the Zhuxian Sword high, and pointed it straight at the sky.

"Boom—!"

High above, in the sky, where the blood-red demonic clouds were shrouded, something seemed to have been stirred.

Deep rumbles of thunder began to gather, and streaks of silver lightning, as thick as a child's arm, flashed and weaved wildly through the dark clouds.

The Beast God sensed the immense, restrained power of heaven and earth.

And the annihilating power emanating from Dao Xuan, which even made him feel uneasy, not only did he not fear it, but the madness in his eyes intensified.

"Dao Xuan, is this the supreme secret technique of your Central Plains Xuanmen?"

"That's certainly interesting! Now, I'll show you the true terror of my Southern Frontier witchcraft!"

He began chanting incantations.

As the incantation resounded, the endless malevolent energy, baleful energy, and deathly energy in the surrounding world seemed to be summoned and frantically converged towards him!

His clothes couldn't withstand the pressure and instantly turned to dust.

Immediately afterwards, a thick, inky black spot began to appear on his fair, jade-like skin.

The blackness spread rapidly, as if it were alive, across his body.

His body made a "crack" sound as his bones expanded violently and his flesh grew wildly!

Amidst the horrified gazes of everyone, the image of the handsome young man vanished completely, replaced by...

It was a colossal creature, hundreds of feet tall, pitch black all over, seemingly formed from countless twisted and resentful spirits!

It has hundreds of dancing arms, and in the center of each palm is a malevolent eye that keeps turning.

Dozens of hideous and terrifying heads of various shapes grow on its body.

It exudes a fierce aura powerful enough to make the world lose its color!

This is the true form of the Beast God—a world-destroying monster with a thousand hands and a hundred heads, born from heaven and earth!

Dao Xuan Zhenren's pupils suddenly contracted, but the sword technique in his hand remained completely undisturbed.

The lightning in the dark clouds high in the sky had accumulated to its maximum.

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Temple, transform into divine thunder! The majestic might of heaven, drawn forth with the sword!"

Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique!

"boom--!!!"

It was like a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, a terrifying divine thunder that had accumulated to its peak.

As Dao Xuan swung his sword, it transformed into a destructive beam of light with a diameter exceeding one hundred meters.

It carries the majestic power of heaven to purify all evil in the world.

It crashed down on the enormous monster with a thousand hands and a hundred heads!

"roar!"

The monster, transformed from the Beast God, raised hundreds of enormous black arms simultaneously.

"Sizzle—!!!"

They collided violently in mid-air!

After taking the divine lightning that was powerful enough to destroy a region, his body swayed slightly and the black mist churned, but his ferocious aura did not diminish.

On the contrary, it was replenished by the ever-increasing stream of malevolent energy from heaven and earth.

They became even more ferocious and arrogant!

"Dao Xuan! Is that all? Take this!"

The beast god's dozens of heads simultaneously let out a cold, sinister laugh, and its thousands of enormous arms suddenly clasped together.

Like a cage imprisoning heaven and earth, it covered the sky and the sun, enveloping Dao Xuan from all directions.

We must crush him and that space together completely!

"Master!"

"Be careful, real people!"

Below, all the cultivators who witnessed this scene had their hearts in their throats, cried out in shock, and their eyes widened in horror!

Just as the thousand-handed cage was about to close completely—

A voice filled with righteous indignation clearly emanated from the center of that dark cage.

It resonated deep within the soul of every living being:

"The righteous spirit of heaven and earth endures forever! We do not seek to slay immortals, but only to vanquish ghosts and gods!"

The moment the sound faded, an extremely pure and powerful sword intent, like the rising sun, pierced through the endless darkness!

"boom--!!!"

The dark cage, composed of hundreds of terrifying arms, was violently shattered from the inside by a huge sword shadow, exploding into countless black fragments flying everywhere!

A gigantic sword shadow wielding dazzling light, surrounded by an overwhelming and unstoppable aura of righteousness.

Like a deity who broke through the chaos, standing tall between heaven and earth!

Below, Wan Jianyi, who had been intently watching the battlefield, witnessed this scene.

His eyes shone with an unprecedented light, and his body trembled slightly with excitement.

He felt the sword intent that originated from the same source but was even purer and more vast, and only one voice cried out in his heart:

"This is...this is the true 'slaying of demons and gods'!"

Beneath the vast sky, a chilling atmosphere prevailed.

The Beast God's enormous, mountain-like demonic body stood between heaven and earth.

Dozens of ferocious heads roared and raged like tangible black flames, burning wildly around him.

The malevolent energy permeating the world transformed into countless visible gray-black streams of energy.

It surged wildly into his body.

With each unit he absorbed, his aura surged even higher.

Opposite him, Dao Xuan stood in mid-air, his Daoist robe fluttering in the wind.

The magical power within him has been pushed to an unprecedented peak.

It surged and flowed through the limbs and bones, even causing the most resilient meridians to feel a stinging pain from the unbearable strain.

The water and fire spirit orb suspended within his body erupted with the power of water and fire, carrying a powerful force of annihilation and destruction.

"kill--!"

The power accumulated by the Beast God finally reached its peak, with the remaining hundreds of giant arms.

They blasted out at the same instant!

Rumble!

At that moment, countless enormous black fist shadows swept across the sky, crushing the void.

With a will to destroy everything, it swept towards Dao Xuan.

Faced with this terrifying offensive, Dao Xuan's eyes suddenly calmed down.

That was a profound calmness born from a profound understanding of life and death.

He parted his lips slightly and slowly uttered two clear yet icy words, which resonated deep within the souls of every living being:

"Slay! Immortals!"

"Buzz—!"

The seemingly simple and unadorned longsword in his hand suddenly emitted a clear and resounding sword cry that shook the heavens.

Even the thunder that filled the sky was suppressed! A seven-colored divine light that pierced through the heavens and earth erupted from the sword!

The next instant, Dao Xuan's figure became blurry.

It was as if he had completely merged with the Zhuxian Sword; man was the sword, and the sword was man!

A colossal, seven-colored sword shadow stretched across the sky!

The sword shadow was enormous, and the sharp sword intent it emitted carried the supreme majesty of slaying immortals and gods and destroying all rules!

The Immortal Slaughtering Sword Technique is the supreme martial art of the Qingyun Sect and the foremost of the four great sword techniques.

At this critical juncture of life and death, he reappears in the mortal world!

"cut!"

In the darkness, a cold, profound Daoist voice seemed to resound.

The seven-colored sword shadow that pierced the heavens and earth moved!

There was no grand display, no fancy changes, just a simple vertical slash that contained the ultimate truth of swordsmanship!

As the sword's shadow fell, time seemed to freeze at that moment.

That devastating black tide of fists, that seven-colored sword light that cleaved the sky.

A brutal collision!

Before the ultimate destruction, even sound seemed to be swallowed up.

Only a blindingly white light erupted from the point of impact, engulfing everyone's vision.

Immediately after

"Crack... Boom!!!"

An indescribable roar suddenly exploded, not affecting the eardrums, but directly vibrating the very source of the soul!
