Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

At the very moment Lu Chuan touched the first Cold Frost Elixir, cold light surged in waves from Xu Yang’s eyes.

"Explode!"

Lu Chuan would never have expected that Xu Yang, a mere first-rank Immortal Soldier, would actually dare to strike at him.

He had taken three drops of Xu Yang’s essence blood—how could Xu Yang not have guessed what he was up to?

Yet in such a situation, Xu Yang still chose to act decisively.

The reason for his attack was because Xu Yang had already deliberated throughout the entire alchemy process!

Missing such an opportunity would make it nearly impossible to encounter another like it.

A large amount of cold attribute Immortal Grass grew here; as time passed, Lu Chuan would only grow stronger.

He also didn’t have time to break through to the True Immortal Realm—the resources here were simply not enough.

Even if the resources were sufficient, the commotion of a twelfth-grade Immortal Foundation could never be hidden!

Boom!

The three Cold Frost Elixirs shattered and exploded in an instant, unleashing a surging torrent of ice.

The Divine Cauldron rang and swelled madly, in the blink of an eye expanding to cover over half the cavern.

"Hiss!"

"You actually dare strike at this old man?"

Lu Chuan’s reaction was lightning-fast. His body quivered, palm curved like thunder, viciously tearing through the frozen torrent.

"You old bastard, I’ve wanted to kill you for a long time."

Xu Yang sneered coldly, launching himself without hesitation, smashing forward with a fist.

"Courting death!"

Lu Chuan’s face darkened, not taking Xu Yang seriously in the slightest. His palm thundered down, mighty as a collapsing mountain, making the whole cavern tremble violently.

Bang!

Xu Yang’s expression shifted dramatically. His fist was struck as if by thunder; flesh mangled, bones shattered.

Agony as if being sliced by blades swept through him, twisting his features, wringing out a howl of pain as he tumbled down in embarrassment.

"So strong!"

That force was utterly overwhelming!

If only he still had the Daluo Saber, he might have managed to resist a little.

But without the Daluo Saber, he was utterly powerless!

"Hm?"

Lu Chuan’s brow rose, even more shocked.

"You actually have strength at the early stage of True Immortal."

That punch was nothing to him, but it was unmistakably on par with the Early Stage of True Immortal.

If it were one of those weaker True Immortals from Baimu Village, they’d suffer a huge loss from that blow!

Recalling Xu Yang’s earlier appearance and the Daluo Saber, a sharp glint flashed in Lu Chuan’s eyes—this brat surely had more secrets!

"Ignorant and unafraid! I gave you a chance at life, but since you refuse, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

Before his words had finished, he vanished from where he stood like lightning.

Xu Yang’s face was expressionless as he leaped straight into the Divine Cauldron.

At this moment, the Divine Cauldron was massive, taking up over half the cavern, its mouth open wide and divine fire raging within.

He plunged into the Divine Cauldron, swallowed instantly by the surging divine fire.

Lu Chuan, appearing at the cauldron’s edge, hesitated!

He sensed something was wrong!

Xu Yang’s actions were far too strange.

Could he really hope to block me with just a cauldron?

Lu Chuan stared at the roiling divine fire, but didn’t feel much threatened.

A cold gleam flickered in his eyes as a thick Immortal Yuan Shield enveloped his body. A silver spiritual umbrella covered him, dropping a silver barrier. With this double protection in place, he stepped in without the faintest hesitation.

Swoosh!

The Heaven-Burning Divine Fire was forcibly ripped apart, rolling and spreading in all directions.

At the edge of the cauldron’s inner world.

Xu Yang appeared out of thin air.

This was the first time he’d entered this place with his physical form.

The feeling was different from usual, but right now he couldn’t afford to care—his gaze was alertly fixed above.

Soon, an invisible ripple swept over. Xu Yang knew instantly that Lu Chuan had followed him in.

Shuaa!

Lu Chuan approached at terrifying speed. When he saw, behind Xu Yang, the outlines of a vast world shrouded in darkness, he gasped in shock.

"A world?"

"There’s actually a world inside this cauldron..."

"Brat, you really are hiding a massive secret!"

Lu Chuan was shaken to the core, his alertness soaring; at this point, he dared not underestimate Xu Yang for his weakness.

"Kill me, and this cauldron, and that saber—they’re all yours."

Xu Yang grinned, "Oh by the way, that saber isn’t called Purple Sun Saber. It’s the Daluo Saber!"

"Daluo Saber... Wait, Daluo?"

Lu Chuan’s whole body shuddered, the muscles of his face twisting violently, his eyes blazing with unrestrained desire.

"That’s right, just as you suspect—a Daluo Immortal Artifact!"

"But even if you kill me, you’ll need the power to control it."

"Without true strength, it’s nothing but scrap in your hands!"

"What an arrogant little brat!"

Lu Chuan growled, icy with rage.

At this point, he no longer cared that Xu Yang could refine pills.

He would kill him—no, capture him, completely dominate him, torture him, force out all his secrets.

A Daluo Immortal Artifact, and even this cauldron, were hardly any less valuable.

There must be a way to control them.

Lu Chuan advanced in great strides, carrying the vast might of the Late Stage of True Immortal, as overwhelming as tidal waves, bearing down on Xu Yang.

He wasn’t reckless; his mind was clear, his vigilance extreme.

Xu Yang’s heart was deadly calm; beneath this oppressive force, he felt mired in a swamp.

"Heaven Locking Will!"

Xu Yang snarled low, shaking the very walls of the world.

The Heaven Locking Will unleashed to its limit, summoning over a hundred Heaven and Earth Divine Chains, swarming toward Lu Chuan like a massive black prison.

"Oh? Interesting."

Lu Chuan looked surprised; even he found this divine technique incredibly enigmatic and impossible to describe.

"You really think you can take me down with this?"

"A fool’s dream!"

"Break for me!"

Lu Chuan spun on his heel; his body shot up like a spiral, immortal yuan inside him erupting like a volcano, twisting into a vortex, unleashing utterly terrifying destructive might.

Boom!

Crack!

Chain after chain of Heaven and Earth Divine Chain was struck by thunder, shattering apart.

The Heaven Locking Will was forcibly torn to pieces!

Xu Yang grunted, retreating several steps.

Lu Chuan burst forth with a sinister grin, pressing the attack.

"Old bastard, try this too!"

Xu Yang roared viciously.

Crash!

The world trembled as ancient evil qi erupted forth.

Xu Yang’s body flickered, summoning Heaven and Earth Divine Chains once more, stabilizing himself and dodging the wave of ancient evil qi.

"Evil qi?"

Lu Chuan’s palms formed a Curved Palm Seal, instantly conjuring a mountain of immortals, which slammed down, shattering the evil qi.

The evil qi surged like a tide, inexhaustible, extremely terrifying.

Yet Lu Chuan, though momentarily disheveled, quickly regained his footing—his stance fierce, like a javelin, ruthlessly crushing the gathered evil qi.

Lu Chuan almost laughed.

After all his caution, afraid of falling into a trap,

he’d clearly overestimated Xu Yang.

But, thinking again,

a first-rank Immortal Soldier’s power rivaling an early True Immortal was already astonishing—what more could he stir up?

In that moment, Lu Chuan’s vigilance greatly lessened. With a roar, surging immortal yuan erupted around him, condensing into strange runes, shaped like thunderbolts, exploding in a deafening blast.

Rumble!!

The flood of evil qi was completely smashed.

Lu Chuan’s feet stepped on clouds of immortal radiance, arcane runes hanging from him like lightning; immortal might surged in waves, vast and resplendent, pressing the void around into frenzied distortion, as if forcing it to retreat.

"Brat, any other tricks?"

Lu Chuan mocked with scorn, flicking his sleeve. Immortal light danced like rainbows, runes intertwining, bolts of lightning fusing to form a thunderous giant hand, clawing toward Xu Yang from afar.

"So much scheming, no real power—like an egg striking a rock, utterly stupid!"

Xu Yang’s face curled into a sly grin. Under that palm his body trembled, but his primordial spirit suddenly tore through its fetters, piercing the wall of worlds.

Swoosh!

The vibrant power of his primordial spirit rippled out, instantly alarming the remaining will on the battlefield.

"Seniors, ancient immortals are attacking—follow me to kill the enemy!"

Xu Yang’s primordial spirit thundered a heaven-shaking roar, echoing through the boundless world.
