Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"Don't even think about it!" Fang Jiuyue attacked first when she saw the one-eyed beast disappear underground!

Two high-grade earth-elemental magic artifacts, the Thick Earth Mirror, are revealed: one is primarily for defense, and the other is primarily for offense!

As soon as the two high-grade earth-elemental magic mirrors appeared, the surrounding fire spiritual energy instantly gathered and was converted into a large amount of earth-elemental spiritual energy by Fang Jiuyue.

With the blessing of the Five Elements Mutual Generation True Meaning, Fang Jiuyue instantly used two earth-based spells, shaking the earth and attacking the one-eyed beast that had traversed underground!

But in that instant, the one-eyed beast actually pierced through Fang Jiuyue's two earth-based spells.

It ignored those two earth-based spells!

"This...could it be Earth Escape?!" Fang Jiuyue was terrified!

It is important to know that Earth Escape is one of the Five Elements Escape Techniques.

It is an advanced version of the true meaning of the mutual generation of the five elements, which is the Five Elements Supernatural Power!

Supernatural powers can only be used by Golden Core stage cultivators; they possess the miraculous ability to seize the creation of heaven and earth and alter the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!

It is many times stronger than the spells of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

A Golden Core stage cultivator truly possesses the power to defy fate and change destiny.

With a lifespan exceeding a thousand years, one can leap and flee a thousand miles away!

He possessed the element of metal and could wield supernatural powers, appearing to the world like an immortal.

Xu Xuan, this one-eyed little beast, actually has the ability to ignore Fang Jiuyue's earth-based magic, which is very similar to the legendary earth-escape technique!

In that instant, neither of Fang Jiuyue's two spells could stop the one-eyed beast, which was about to sneak into the underground cave.

"Damn it!" Xuan Yuan Yi immediately reacted, his killing intent gathering, and a scarlet blood bat phantom appeared behind him.

He was about to use his magic to move quickly and chase after the one-eyed beast.

"I can't let it disturb Junior Brother Jiang's cultivation!" Xuan Yuan Yi thought to himself.

At this critical moment, just as Xuanyuan Yi was about to set off!

A sword aura burst through the ground, emerging from the soil below.

A one-eyed beast was blasted out by the sword energy and flew heavily into the air.

"The wind is the same!" Xu Xuan said in a chilling voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure flew out from the hole in the ground, stood facing Xu Xuan, and floated in the air.

The wind blew, and the white-clad figure moved even without wind. Within a three-foot radius, the sword intent was solidified, and the air itself seemed to carry a faint chill.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on Xu Xuan, causing Xu Xuan a stinging sensation, as if staring at him for too long would pierce his eyes with invisible sword energy.

"You're actually here! Are you going to fight me for such a nobody?" Xu Xuan said with some apprehension. His one-eyed beast flew to his side and growled at Feng Yiran.

Feng Yiran, underground, struck the one-eyed beast with a "Mysterious Heaven Sword Finger" technique.

Although it didn't cause it much harm, it did give the one-eyed little beast a fright.

"I cannot let you pass today!" Feng Yiran said in a deep voice.

Even though he couldn't use the sword pellet in his hand for the time being, Feng Yiran was still not afraid of Xu Xuan.

The sword cultivator's prowess is on full display!

"In that case, I'll test your sword!" Xu Xuan said in a deep voice. As the eldest disciple of the outer sect of Beast Taming Mountain, he naturally had his own pride.

The two had never competed before, and Xu Xuan, the number one Foundation Establishment cultivator, had long wanted to challenge him!

Xu Xuan was unaware that Feng Yiran's sword pellet had already developed a trace of gold.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Xuan made his move, and with a flick of his wrist, a golden halberd fell into his hand.

A flash of spiritual light appeared on the golden halberd; it turned out to be a low-grade spiritual weapon.

Xu Xuan swung his arm, and golden light flew out, heading straight for Feng Yiran.

At the same time, the one-eyed beast fell to the ground, whipping up sand and gravel like a tornado.

Feng Yiran transformed into a sword of light, just dodging Xu Xuan's golden light, but then crashed head-on into the sand and gravel tornado whipped up by the one-eyed beast.

With a deafening roar, the sword light shattered, and he was sent flying backward, his white robes stained with dust.

The small beast emerged from behind again, its one eye gathering power once more. Feng Yiran's sword flashed between his fingers, yet he could never pierce through the tacit understanding between the man and the beast in their deadly struggle.

Feng Yiran did not draw his sword, and faced two opponents alone, but for a time he was at a disadvantage.

Xu Xuan truly lives up to his reputation as the top disciple of the outer sect of Beast Taming Mountain. His strength is extraordinary, and both his low-grade spiritual weapon and his one-eyed beast are extremely powerful.

Feng Yiran's "Mysterious Heaven Sword Finger" is unlikely to cause them any harm.

"Where is your sword?!" Xu Xuan finally noticed the problem. Feng Yiran, the most famous sword cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage of Taihua Sword Sect, was actually without a sword in his hand.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing is impossible.

But now it has really happened; Feng Yiran really doesn't have a sword in his hand.

"Even without a sword, I can still kill you!" Feng Yiran transformed into a sword light, slicing through several golden halberd shadows of Xu Xuan. Then, from his high vantage point, he unleashed three sword energies, attacking Xu Xuan.

On the other side, Xuan Yuan Yi and Fang Jiu Yue stood together.

"Feng Yiran has no sword; he's no match for Xu Xuan. Let's find an opportunity to attack together and take him down!"

Xuan Yuan Yi said with murderous intent.

Facing the eldest outer disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain, one of the ten major sects, Xuan Yuan Yi showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he wanted to eliminate him.

Facing the eldest outer disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain, one of the ten major sects, Xuan Yuan Yi showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he wanted to eliminate him.

To others, this would seem like overestimating one's own abilities.

But now, there are three people on the field: Xuan Yuan Yi, Fang Jiu Yue, and Feng Yi Ran.

Although Feng Yiran had no sword in his hand, he could hardly exert any of his strength.

However, relying on his own sword intent, he managed to fight to a draw against Xu Xuan and the one-eyed beast.

They were only slightly at a disadvantage.

This is enough to demonstrate Feng Yiran's strength; he truly deserves the title of the number one cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage!

Xu Xuan also noticed this. He and Feng Yiran belonged to the same of the Ten Great Sects. He was a disciple of the Beast Taming Mountain Sect, while Feng Yiran was a disciple of the Taihua Sword Sect.

They are all senior outer disciples of their respective sects!

Among their contemporaries, they were all among the most outstanding figures.

They are often compared, but the two have never fought each other before.

He was usually somewhat unconvinced, believing that since he was on the same level as everyone else, he was not afraid of anyone.

Even Feng Yiran, the number one cultivator in the Foundation Establishment stage, was not afraid of him at all, believing that he could not possibly be inferior to him.

Looking back now, I realize I still have some shortcomings.

However, the opponent doesn't use a sword, so it's impossible to know how big the gap is.

Xu Xuan was unaware that Feng Yiran's sword pellet had already developed a trace of metal element, and had been nurtured by the marrow-cleansing spiritual spring for many days.

At this moment, if Feng Yiran were to forcefully use the sword pellet, he could probably kill Xu Xuan with a single strike.

The Golden Nature—that's a power that only a Golden Core cultivator can possess.

Feng Yiran was able to use his supernatural powers during the Foundation Establishment stage by relying on this trace of metal element.

Even if Xu Xuan is powerful, he is only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. His companion spirit beast's technique, which looks like an earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical ability), is not a real magical ability.

It was merely the one-eyed beast's innate magic.

If the one-eyed beast grows up and advances to the Golden Core stage, then this innate technique will be upgraded to a divine power.
