Covering the Sky: I, a mortal, ascended to the throne step by step.

Chapter 82 Battle Techniques Reveal a Flaw in the Hidden Liver Technique

The ground was littered with wreckage, and the air was thick with the smell of blood.

Li Xian stood in the center of the five-colored array, his white robe stained with blood.

Four moves to defeat the Holy Son.

He tore the five elders apart with his bare hands.

Such elegance is unparalleled.

Even the most holy son of the most sacred land.

Even at the same level, it's difficult to achieve.

Outside the array.

An Miaoyi looked at that tall, slender figure.

Her dignified and reserved demeanor vanished completely from her clear, bright eyes.

Instead, there was an undisguised yearning!

Like a starving cat eyeing its fattest prey.

"Unrivaled combat prowess, ruthless nature, decisive in killing, and incredibly wealthy —"

An Miaoyi quickly assessed the situation in her mind—

The successor of Miaoyu Nunnery has spent his life searching for an unparalleled genius who can protect him on his path.

I originally thought that the Holy Son of Yao Guang and the Golden-Winged Roc King would be the first choice, but after seeing this rogue cultivator with no background today, the indifference he exudes in his bones, treating all things as straw dogs, is the most perfect protector.

"Only such a person is worthy to help me prove my truth."

An Miaoyi clasped her hands together, her fingertips tucking into her palms.

"No matter the cost, we must take down Li Xian!"

in the crowd.

After a brief silence.

An earth-shattering uproar erupted.

"That method of evolving all things—it can't be wrong!"

The living fossil from the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beginnings gripped his cane tightly, his voice trembling: "No move is too elaborate to be performed, no technique too versatile to be mastered—that's the number one fighting technique in five thousand years!"

"One of the Nine Secrets, the Secret of the Character 'Fight'?!"

The whole place erupted in chaos.

The whereabouts of Jiang Taixu, the White-Clad God King, have become unknown.

This supreme secret technique, hailed as the best in offensive combat, has since disappeared.

Now, it has actually reappeared in the hands of a rogue cultivator at the Dao Palace Realm?

"No, it's not the complete secret of the Dou character."

A powerful voice silenced the clamor.

Within the Jiang family's camp.

A powerful figure with fiery red hair stepped forward, his eyes blazing with divine light as he stared at Li Xian: "He only used a fragmented part of it; he grasped the form but not the spirit. He lacks the overwhelming offensive power of the Dou Zi Secret Technique, which grows stronger with each challenge and has no upper limit."

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the powerful figure from the Jiang family added, "But even if it's incomplete, it's still a killing technique derived from the Nine Secrets. Its power surpasses the methods of sages and saints, and it can be considered a quasi-Emperor level secret technique."

Quasi-Emperor-level Secret Technique!

Five words ignited everyone's greed.

The young prodigy's breathing quickened, while the older generation's eyes gleamed.

They wished they could rush into the formation immediately and devour Li Xian alive.

Divine Source, Immortal Gold, Quasi-Emperor Secret Techniques.

In everyone's eyes, Li Xian was no longer a person, but a moving, peerless divine treasure.

Gong Wuheng's face had changed from ashen to fanatical.

He stared at Li Xian.

His eyes were filled with madness.

As long as Li is captured—

The Five Elements Palace can then rise to become a place comparable to a holy land!

"Good! Very good!" Gong Wuheng laughed loudly. "Li Xian, you killed my disciple, you must pay the price today! Qingyue, go and capture him!"

The words fell.

A middle-aged beautiful woman appeared.

He wore a blue Taoist robe, and his aura was as deep and profound as the sea.

Gong Qingyue, the previous senior sister of the Five Elements Palace.

"Holy Lord, I have already reached the first level of the Four Extremes Heaven."

Gong Qingyue spoke, her voice cold and sharp.

"It's alright." Gong Wuheng waved his hand. "Suppress your cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Fifth Heaven of the Dao Palace, and fight him fairly."

Upon hearing this, people outside the area...

They all sneered, but no one spoke up to stop them.

Greed had blinded everyone; they were eager for the Five Elements Palace to discover all of Li Xian's trump cards.

Gong Qingyue nodded.

He stepped into the formation.

The five-colored light curtain closed.

"Hand over the secret technique, and I'll leave you with a whole corpse."

After Gong Qingyue finished speaking, she unleashed her magical weapon.

The five different colored rings jingled.

Connected end to end, they transform into a massive five-element ring, descending from above.

The Five Elements Ring does not govern killing and warfare, but rather restraint and control.

Five mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining forces enveloped Li Xian, locking the space around him.

Li Xian looked up.

This is a tactical approach.

The Five Elements Palace could tell that he had an unparalleled physical body and was invincible in close combat.

Therefore, they sent people to use formations and magical artifacts from a distance in an attempt to wear him down.

"Trying to lock me up?"

Li Xian moved his hands, creating a mountain-embracing seal.

The black iron divine peak solidified, and he used one arm to support the mountain, smashing it fiercely towards the Five Elements Ring above his head.

"boom!"

The Five Elements Ring trembled violently, but it did not shatter. Instead, it shone brighter, and the confinement doubled.

Gong Qingyue sneered: "The five elements generate each other endlessly; you can't break through that."

She made a hand seal with both hands.

It continuously draws the essence of the five elements from outside the formation and pours it into the five-element ring.

Li Xian's movements visibly slowed down, as if he were stuck in a quagmire.

Ten moves.

Twenty moves, fifty moves —

Under the suppression of the Five Elements Ring.

Li Xian kept throwing punches and slapping his fists.

Gong Qingyue's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

She discovered that no matter how much pressure she increased, it didn't work.

Li Xian's divine power seemed inexhaustible, showing no signs of exhaustion.

"We can't delay any longer!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Gong Qingyue's eyes.

He bit his tongue hard, spitting out his semen.

His aura suddenly erupted, breaking through the shackles of the Dao Palace and restoring him to the first level of the Four Extremes Realm!

Moreover, she possesses the combat power of the second level of forbidden realms, and when she unleashes it at full power, her aura rivals that of an ordinary cultivator at the third level of the fourth realm.

"Shameless!"

The Great Xia Imperial Uncle roared angrily from outside the formation.

Gong Wuheng, however, explained frankly:

Didn't you see my beloved daughter vomiting blood?

This is a secret technique of the Five Elements Palace, which can temporarily boost combat power.

Many factions remained silent, refusing to expose the truth.

Inside the formation.

Gong Qingyue, having recovered her cultivation, manipulated the magic ring.

It smashed towards Li Xian's head, aiming to kill him with a single blow.

Li Xian looked at the Five Elements Ring, his lips slightly moving, his eyes icy: "I've been waiting for you to unleash the full power of the Five Elements—"

Drive it with all your might.

This means that without external support, they can only rely on brute force.

Otherwise, if the enemy keeps building strongholds and fighting a protracted war, they might actually be worn down and killed.

Li Xian himself possessed the cultivation level of the fourth level of the Dao Palace and the combat strength of the Four Forbidden Realms, making him no weaker than a cultivator at the third level of the Four Extremes Realm.

"it's over----"

Li Xian's hand seals suddenly changed.

Instead of coalescing into mountains, it operates the incomplete "Fighting" character, which evolves into a stream of pitch-black water.

Li Xian uttered a soft voice: "Water overcomes fire."

The black water transformed into a phantom of Xuanwu, crashing into the fire ring within the Five Elements Ring.

The ring of fire dimmed.

"Fire overcomes metal."

His left hand transformed into a crimson-gold sun, smashing towards the golden ring.

"Wood overcomes Earth".

His right hand transformed into a blue dragon claw, tearing apart the earthen ring.

The five elements counteract each other, allowing for precise strikes.

Gong Qingyue's Five Elements Ring, which maintained its balance through the mutual generation of the five elements, was immediately out of control after Li Xian precisely severed its nodes.

"Snap!"

The Five Elements Ring shattered.

Li Xian's figure flashed.

Jinlian pushed her body technique to its limit, closing in on Gong Qingyue.

"You one"

Gong Qingyue was terrified and was about to back away.

Li Xian's fist has arrived.

Six black hole phantoms swirled around the fist.

It struck Gong Qingyue squarely in the chest.

"Bang!"

The body of the previous generation's senior sister of the Five Elements Palace was torn apart like rags, turning into a rain of blood that fell from the sky.

A hundred moves clashed.

One blow kills.

The outcome is decided, and so is life and death!

Outside the battle formation, heroes gathered.

Silence fell again.

Even with the combined power of the Four Extremes First Heaven and the Two Forbidden Battle Forces, he was still killed!

Li Xian is a prodigy and an eccentric genius!

"Qingyue!"

A roar of grief and anger resounded from the Five Elements Palace camp.

A middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes rushed to the edge of the formation.

He was the senior disciple of the previous generation of the Five Elements Palace, and also Gong Qingyue's Daoist partner.

"Li Xian! I will tear you to pieces!"

The eldest disciple screamed hoarsely as he frantically smashed the protective barrier.

Li Xian stood in the center of the formation, looking at him through the light barrier, her purple-gold eyes shining brightly.

Grief and indignation?

Li Xian could see it clearly.

In the depths of this man's eyes, there was only a fraction of sadness; the remaining nine parts were pure greed.

The acting was terrible.

"Come in and take a look."

Li Xian beckoned with her finger.

The eldest disciple was overjoyed and stepped into the formation.

His true realm is the second level of the fourth realm, and he also possesses two forbidden combat abilities.

The eldest brother didn't use any magic weapon; he simply condensed the essence of the five elements into a divine sword in his hand.

"die!"

He lunged forward.

The sword light was like a woven tapestry, dense and impenetrable.

Li Xian waved his palms, unleashing the Great Sun Seal and the Crescent Moon Seal alternately to clash head-on with the Five Elements Divine Sword.

After a few moves, Li Xian frowned.

This senior brother's swordsmanship wasn't particularly refined, but the placement of each thrust was extremely tricky.

Not the head, not the heart, but—below the right rib.

The location of the liver's spirit.

"when!"

Li Xian used his Mountain-Embracing Seal to smash the divine sword and then retreated.

The eldest brother stopped in mid-air.

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He no longer concealed his greed, staring intently at Li Xian's right rib.

"Your physical body is indeed incredibly strong, and your secret techniques are truly heaven-defying."

The eldest brother's voice echoed throughout the hall: "But you're too eager for quick success."

"In order to break through the realm, the spleen and liver spirit were forcibly opened, ignoring the wonder of the mutual generation of the five elements, and were not fully tempered."

"Hahaha—what's even funnier is that you still have old injuries in your kidneys!"

This statement came out.

The knowledgeable senior cultivators all nodded in agreement.

"So that's it! No wonder he has such amazing combat power, yet he never uses the deities of the Dao Palace."

"Any mortal seeking rapid rise to power inevitably resorts to extremes, leaving behind hidden dangers that are now fatal!"

"But he's not even thirty years old yet—"

An Miaoyi frowned slightly.

The little nun was so anxious she jumped up and down.

Inside the formation, the eldest disciple no longer held back.

He secretly released his cultivation suppression, and the divine power of the second level of the Four Extremes Heaven erupted in full force.

"The Five Elements Deadly Sword!"

The divine sword transformed into five streams of light, blocking all of Li Xian's escape routes, and finally converged into a dazzling sword beam.

Li Xian crossed his arms, attempting to block.

"puff!"

The sword's edge pierced through Li Xian's defenses.

It pierced his right rib with perfect accuracy.

Blood splattered.

Li Xian grunted and retreated violently, crashing heavily into the array's light barrier.

He instinctively covered his right rib with his fingers, and bright red blood oozed from between his fingers. His face turned pale for the first time.

The battle situation.

reverse.

"He's not going to make it!"

The disciples of the Five Elements Palace cheered loudly.

The Great Xia Imperial Uncle's face was grave, and he clenched his fists.

"Big brother!"

Seeing Li Xian injured, the young nun Xia Yilin's eyes reddened. She turned and tugged at the sleeve of the Great Xia Emperor's uncle, crying, "Nineteenth Uncle, please save him! He's bleeding so much!"

The Imperial Uncle sighed.

Of all the forces present, only the Great Xia was willing to step forward, putting them under immense pressure: "Yilin, rules are rules—"

Inside the formation.

The eldest brother, carrying the Blood-Dripping Divine Sword, walked step by step toward Li Xian.

"it's over."

He looked down from his high position, feeling smug and self-satisfied.

Li Xian leaned against the light screen, her head bowed.

A drop of blood.

It dripped down his chin and onto the ground.

Then, he suddenly laughed.

The laughter sounded particularly jarring in this deathly silent space.
