Chapter 1434 - 40: White Paper Ashes
Sizzle sizzle sizzle!
The piercing sound of scorching reverberated through the sandstorm.
The young Sword Cultivator nailed to the desert, a fresh, blood-red lotus bloomed on his chest.
The Great Palace Master, holding the Phoenix Fire Origin, showed no mercy, a cruciform Sword Qi blossomed, tearing Xie Xuanyi’s chest completely apart... Who could have thought that this near-fatal wound was forcibly brought back to life by the Undying Spring.
A large amount of vapor evaporated from the gaping chest cavity!
"Ugh."
Xie Xuanyi groaned with extreme effort, reaching out both hands, gripping the Phoenix Fire Long Sword tightly, trying to halt its slashing momentum.
But against the absolute suppression of power.
This level of resistance truly seemed futile.
After Harmonization.
His Martial Arts Divine Embryo successfully transformed into the Martial Arts Saint Body.
By right, the strength of this body, comparable to an Innate Spiritual Treasure... Yet even so, it still appeared fragile like White Paper before the Great Palace Master.
"Crack crack crack."
The sand blew.
The sword edge vibrated, emitting an ear-piercing sound.
Feeling the resistance coming from the blade.
The Great Palace Master squinted, this battle seemingly "calm and composed", but actually he had already sensed the extraordinary quality of the young man before him.
If Xie Xuanyi were given a little more time.
The situation of this battle would definitely be different from now...
"Sorry."
The Great Palace Master spoke with a blank expression: "I’ll send you on your way now."
Unfortunately.
He has never been a soft-hearted person.
In these three hundred years, he has personally killed countless geniuses... In terms of aptitude, Xie Xuanyi might be the best of them. But the act of killing geniuses, he’s really too familiar, too accustomed to it.
He will not give Xie Xuanyi even a single moment for growth.
"Slash!"
The sword edge shifted.
Bright red blood spurted and surged back, under the assault of Phoenix Fire Origin, Xie Xuanyi spat a mouthful of fresh blood, his chest bore the brunt of an extremely heavy blow.
The sword that gouged the flesh was actually nothing.
What’s truly terrifying was that, with the rotation of the sword edge, a large amount of Karmic Fire was injected into the heart.
It is a force that cannot be resisted by the Undying Spring or Yuan Swallowing Boundary Stele...
Xie Xuanyi instantaneously fell into Purgatory!
The utmost heat and cold descended upon the Flesh Body and Divine Soul in an instant.
Karmic Fire scorched.
His skin was instantly covered by large amounts of ice shards... the next moment, blazing fire ignited fiercely...
Under the torment of such Divine Skills.
Xie Xuanyi still clutched the sword edge tightly.
"Truly astounding vitality."
The Great Palace Master looked down silently at this scene, which could be called miraculous, enduring such a heavy blow, yet still retaining a clear Divine Sea. Xie Xuanyi’s Dao Heart is not ordinarily tough; if it were any other Great Divine Ability User, they would have long been unable to bear the pain, their Divine Sea collapsing.
However.
Everything ends here.
He raised one foot, stomping on the hilt of the Phoenix Fire Long Sword.
Just as the Great Palace Master was about to apply force—
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Unexpectedly, the desert began to tremble, countless sands from all directions swept by the strong wind.
"?!"
The Great Palace Master’s pupils contracted, ears echoing the sound of an explosive blast in the void.
He slightly turned his head.
Only to see, amidst the sandstorm, a giant stone pillar emerging from nowhere, seemingly cast of bronze, heading straight for the Great Palace Master.
"Boom!"
The Great Palace Master, not thinking much, frowned slightly, lifted his sleeve and swept it away.
A thunderous sound erupted!
The void resonated with the sound of thunder, the impact of this giant stone pillar was stronger than he imagined, unexpectedly causing his body to sway slightly.
And the next moment.
The Great Palace Master’s complexion darkened like water.
Upon looking down.
Countless sands churned, forming a vortex, the young figure originally pinned by the Phoenix Fire Long Sword had vanished without a trace.
All of this happened swiftly.
Within a moment.
And more absurdly... the Great Palace Master’s Dao Domain had never been released!
By right, all the movements within this Dao Domain should be under his "control"...
"Primordial Swallowing Divine Power?"
The Great Palace Master instantly guessed the cause.
In the instant he swept away the giant pillar with his sleeve, there seemed to be a strange fluctuation, flashing for a moment.
The intelligence from Heavenly Phoenix Palace clearly mentioned that Xie Xuanyi had refined the Human Race’s Southern Border’s Primordial Swallowing Sacred Realm, gaining Bai Ze Great Saint’s Ancient Divine Power. This Primordial Swallowing Divine Power can swallow Primordial Energy, Divine Soul, Taoist Intent, Qi Flow... In previous clashes, he didn’t quite experience the might of Primordial Swallowing Divine Power, thus letting his guard down.
Just a brief moment of complacency led to this situation...
He ultimately misjudged.
This Xie kid had plans to escape from the very beginning!
"Open!"
In the Great Palace Master’s eyes, Killing Intent was revealed.
He raised his hand again.
Blood-red Heavenly Peak Killing Intent surged, countless Phoenix Fires transformed into a sky-reaching sword, furiously pouring into this desert...
The surrounding void has been sealed!
Even if Xie Xuanyi had already planned this "escape" plan, the only route for escape was to dive into this vast desert ruin.
No matter what.
Today, he must end Xie Xuanyi’s life.
Even if he had to dig three thousand feet deep, he must excavate Xie Xuanyi... alive to see the person, dead to see the corpse!
Rumble rumble rumble rumble rumble!
The sky-wide Phoenix Fire engulfed the surrounding ten miles completely!
The Great Palace Master’s Divine Skill was almost capable of incinerating the heavens and boiling the seas; tens of miles away, Ao Ying hid underground, and even there, she could sense the desert sands churning and roaring.
"Is this the power of the Strongest?"
Ao Ying trembled uncontrollably.
She had already cultivated to the Yin God Realm, but under this might, she still felt like a fledgling.
Fortunately, the battlefield was distant enough.
Otherwise...
In the Great Palace Master’s fury, he might directly incinerate everything he sees with Phoenix Fire!
