Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 805: A Showdown Between Top-grades

The blood mists kept condensing around the giant red person, and they finally outlined countless complicated patterns that interlaced with each other. In particular, 5 red stones could be seen between the eyebrows of the person, and they connected the complicated patterns. When the blood lights flickered, the bloodstains on the person’s body would shine extremely wonderfully.

Even the most exquisite and perfect gem did not have the slightest dazzle of the 5 red stones.

Li Xin opened his mouth and suddenly exhaled. It was as though a black hole suddenly appeared in the sky and sucked the air, which was rapidly compressed and exploded after that.

Concurrently, he let out a sound that was neither demonic nor devilish.

Following his roar, hundreds of hurricanes emerged around him.

Li Xin closed his fingers and swung his hill-sized fist at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One. When the fist wind burst out, its repercussions alone were enough to wipe out everything within a few kilometers for him. In fact, visible ripples could also be seen in the space. His combat power as a Venerable One could clearly be seen.

Subsequently, he roared and charged forward. The earth shook orderly as a result.

“Do you think I’m afraid of you!” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One also let out a cry in the air when it saw this. Even time paused against common sense as the Venerable One seemed to have been fixed in mid-air by an invisible power. It took a step forward as well, and its fur stood up on their ends. An ice-cold look could be seen in the majestic ape’s bloodshot eyes.

The red stones between the eyebrows of the giant red person flickered. When he punched, black thunderbolts could be seen surrounding his fist. Accompanied by strong winds, mists as tall as 33 meters were stirred up. They headed toward the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One, and their surging airflows blotted out the sky, hence the earth turned dark.

Once the fists clashed, the air was being squeezed outward, revealing a fearsome white. It sounded like glass was shattered by an enormous power, where the sound wave that spread sounded like muffled thunders to many spirit beasts on the mountain. They quivered and staggered, then they died with blood flowing out of their eyes, noses, and mouths.

“Bam, bam, bam!”

The human and the beast were humongous, but they were incredibly agile. Their collisions were also very clean, where it seemed like they were going back to basics. Each time they collided, they separated in an instant as if they had a tacit understanding. All of a sudden, Li Xin widened his hill-like mouth and shouted, “Saber…”

As soon as he finished, his red arm shook and held a Shentu Saber. The saber let out a soft ring, then the tadpole-like runes on it flickered and cracked into plenty of black marks that assimilated into the saber. The Shentu Saber seemed to have a spirit’s power, where blood lights flashed and a clear ring could be heard. It was 33 meters long. When Li Xin wiped the back of the saber gently and slashed, the sky seemed to have darkened.

The saber sought the path while its slash contained the universe’s maxim.

When Li Xin leaned his body backward, his massive body crushed a small hill with a single step as though he was a deity.

“Boom—” Wherever the saber light passed, all of the airwaves became gentle and flexible. This was the highest state for the maneuvering of a saber.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was still not changing its trick. It lifted its arm and struck forward again, causing its vigor to burst out.

An electric arc flashed the second the saber-light and the fist force clashed. Their momentums were concentrated, and they finally soared into the clouds above. As for River Tianlan, which was to their east, its water seemed to have been drawn to the sky by 9 giant dragons, where it flowed in reverse and turned into hard ice before it fell.

“Swing!” The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One let out a strange roar as it lifted its right arm and pointed its middle finger at the sky with a fierce look in its eyes. When it pressed down afterward, the whole universe seemed to be shaking intensely while the autumn wind blew and whistled. Furthermore, the illusory images of 3 ancient apes appeared behind it, and they looked exactly like it. They shut their eyes tightly, but their majestic pressures spread in the universe at once.

Crackles could be heard all over the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s body as it was enveloped by electric arcs.

When it charged straight at the giant red person, one of the 3 illusory figures behind it opened its eyes. The bloodiness in its eyes dispersed such that everything around it turned red—red sky, red earth, red mountains, and red river—as if those eyes were covered by blood. Upon seeing this, Li Xin felt a tingling sensation on his scalp, and a chilly air flowed inside his body.

Nonetheless, he suppressed the odd feeling and clutched the Shentu Saber as he released a stunning saber-light with a slash.

Who knew, when the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One raised its hand and closed its fingers, the saber-light disappeared just like that.

Li Xin’s face turned cold when the sharp light was stopped. He brushed his left thumb across the Shentu Saber and spat out a mouthful of essence and blood before he yelled, “Dragon’s Growl!” Right after he finished, an indescribably dazzling saber-light appeared and oppressed the Sun’s light.

“I’ll slash your true body with this saber!” His immensely cold voice filled Heaven and Earth.

“Boom!” The saber-light spread and split the universe completely as if they were now on two different ends of the world. One side was filled with dust while the other side was the blue sky, and they seemed to be worlds apart. The wind stopped, the plants stopped swaying, and even River Tianlan’s surging waves paused in the sky. Everything became still at this instant.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz!”

Following that, the saber-light changed and transformed into a 33-meters long giant dragon. It penetrated the sky while its growl filled the universe, then it zoomed toward the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s head.

Nevertheless, it was then when the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One pressed its palm down several times. The illusory ancient apes behind it opened their eyes, then they turned darker bit by bit until they became black streams of light. Next, a roughly 300-meters long red ax was condensed.

“Sacrifice—” Its voice was hoarse but before it went away, it began running. The big red ax looked like blood was flowing around it, where bloody ripples spread and looked like they were going to drip down at any time.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One raised the ax and sprinted to chop the giant dragon that was formed from saber-light. It swung the ax with its right hand and borrowed force to chop the giant dragon from its waist. Consequently, the saber-light that was hiding inside burst out and was so striking that one could not open one’s eyes. The Venerable One also left heaps of bloodstains on it, but they were insignificant. Later, it did a back-raise with its giant ax and flattened a peak that was over 600 meters tall, causing gravel to fly everywhere.

When it lifted its ex and dashed again, intense piercing sounds could be heard in the air as it was too fast.

At this point, even the formidable Li Xin was afraid, by which he breathed out his vigor. A white light circle emerged from the blood mists when he swung his right hand in the air, and it grew with the wind until it expanded to cover a range of tens of meters. Numerous saber-lights were released as well, and they seemed like they could cover the sky. It was worth noting that their saber intents were concentrated as if they had gone into a rage.

Masses of spirit sabers flew out from the white light circle. There were over 10,000 of them, and they had different shapes and dissimilar qualities where some were good while some were bad. Even so, they had a similarity—they had the belief that they could penetrate the universe.

When the giant red person made certain finger gestures, the 10,000 sabers rang and spiraled down such that the sky and the earth became their ocean.

As Li Xin swung his hand, the Shentu Saber immediately flew out. It flashed and transformed into the tip of a saber, by which the spirit sabers became its body while swords were its handle.

On the other hand, the spiritual Qi inside Li Xin’s dantian acted as a medium that merged all of the sabers. He cast a solid saber intent with its ambitious look that could devour even nothingness. “Honor a saber with spirits!” Li Xin spat out blood once more. As he took a step forward, the whole universe shook intensely. Gravel was stirred up into the sky, the river water was drawn upward, and even the 3,000-meters-tall mountains that were 50 kilometers away became shorter.

Li Xin was similar to a saber that could put a hole in the sky. He lifted his right hand and pointed ahead, then the saber shot toward the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s chest right away. It was exceptionally fast like a red lightning, and it was not alone as it comprised 1,000 and even 10,000 sabers.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One was calm and unafraid. Its fur stood up, and it had a majestic momentum.

At this moment, the big red ax in its hand flew up and down while it spun endlessly like a windmill. After holding the ax’s handle tightly, it chopped outward.

The second the saber and the ax clashed, countless black vortexes appeared around them, and they could not be in a deadlock at all. At the spur of the moment, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One deflected its wrist outward. The big ax shook along with the movement, and it unloaded the saber’s force without any effort. By lifting and deflecting, the Venerable One simply “lifted” the saber outside.

Li Xin’s face changed, where a ruthless look could be seen in its eyes. He slapped the spot between his eyebrows with his large red head, causing the red stones, which were 10,000 times more dazzling than the most perfect gem, to be crushed. The elder’s red body expanded once more, thus the blood mists surged while the patterns on his body lit up. After that, he leaped out and grabbed the saber in a hurry to aim for the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s bulging chest again.

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One held its ax vertically and placed it in front of its chest.

With that, the saber’s tip, which was actually the Shentu Saber, struck the red ax. Accordingly, an airwave that could overturn mountains and rivers spread out.

“Slash…”

Li Xin yelled, whereas the 10,000 sabers shook and rang non-stop.

From the handle onward, the assembled saber broke bit by bit, but a crack could also be seen on the giant red ax.

“Crack, crack!” The instant the sounds were heard, closely packed cracks could be seen on the ax.

A small leak could sink a big ship—once there were cracks, the ax could not be used to block anymore. “Boom!” A thunderous sound was heard as the giant ex shattered and turned into innumerable blood lights.

Without the giant red ax as an obstacle, the saber’s tip entered the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s body and stirred its flesh and meridians. An immense pain went straight to its mind as if its heart was being pricked by several 10,000 needles at the same time.

Li Xin was relieved, but the spiritual Qi inside his dantian boiled and released an even greater force.

At this time, the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One suddenly lifted its arm to punch Li Xin’s chest with its hill-like fist. Due to the overly overbearing power, the elder was forced to back away. With every step he took backward, a 6-meters-wide crack could be seen on the ground, and he spat blood as if he had an unlimited supply of them. The elder’s pupils shrunk as he thought, ‘Ever since I became a Venerable One, I’ve never had a tough fight. Now, I actually got entangled with such a frightening being because of Ou Yangming.’

The 10,000 Beasts Venerable One roared and used both its hands to pull out the saber’s tip little by little.

It later crushed the tip into powder, and its fighting spirit became tangible.

Without warning, a formidable aura appeared in Li Xin’s senses. That aura had also reached that of a top-grade Venerable One but unlike the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One’s violent aura, it was more conformed with the way of nature and could not be perceived.

Li Xin’s pupils shrunk again. He glanced at the 10,000 Beasts Venerable One and looked down, then he flashed and turned around to leave.
