241: Chapter 240 Words Become Law, The Art of Truth

"Spokesperson? Son of Heaven? Heh... You are not worthy."

Ye Xiu sneered, and immediately, the purple energy transformed into a killing intent. After carving the character [Sword] into the firmament, a heaven-piercing sword glow instantly shot toward the old man.

Boom...

The old man gripped the incoming sword glow with one hand, his body forced to retreat repeatedly by the terrifying offensive Qi.

"Not bad. Among those at the Emperor level, I am willing to call you the strongest."

"And then what?"

Ye Xiu was enveloped in purple energy, his entire body radiating brilliant light, as ancient characters manifested one by one in the firmament.

Following this, a sky full of sword light ruthlessly struck at the old man.

"Words manifesting the law, truly remarkable. It is a pity... since it cannot be used by me, then die."

The old man let out a cold laugh.

He took a step forward, directly breaking through the blockade of sword light, and smashed down with a fist.

The firmament shook.

This simple, unadorned punch seemed to carry the power to split the heavens and open the earth.

Ye Xiu's expression turned grave.

This old man was the master of the Blood Sea Divine Spring; his power was terrifyingly immense, and in terms of his Physical Body, he had absolutely reached the limit.

Perhaps the Daoist lineage of the era this old man came from focused primarily on the Cultivation of the Physical Body.

Boom...

The terrifying force directly caused Ye Xiu's hands to twist slightly.

"Old ghost, your strength is not enough either."

A faint light flickered in Ye Xiu's eyes, and the distortion on his arms recovered to normal in an instant.

"Brat, let's see how long you can keep talking tough."

With intense killing intent in his eyes, the old man stomped his foot and surged forward.

He threw another punch.

As the firmament shook, the expected outcome did not occur.

A character [Shield] blocked him, preventing his fist from descending.

"Taste this punch of mine and see how it is."

Ye Xiu snorted coldly, and the Heavenly Emperor Fist erupted.

The terrifying fist glow struck fiercely at the old man, but he did not dodge or evade. Exerting force with his fist, he shattered the shield and immediately collided with the fist glow.

Boom...

Amidst the terrifying explosion, the firmament collapsed, and everything turned into nothingness.

Before the old man could make another move.

A character [Kill] had already manifested above his head.

Infinite killing intent erupted.

This was an attack originating from the Soul. The old man's expression changed; not daring to resist it head-on, he quickly stepped aside, directly evading the assault of this killing intent.

However, as a character [Slow] condensed, his body jolted, and his original speed slowed down significantly at this moment.

"Old ghost, you seem very afraid of Divine Soul-type attacks. Is it because you didn't gain any advantage on the other battlefield either?"

Ye Xiu sneered.

The four ancient runes [Divine Soul Attack] manifested in the collapsing firmament.

These four characters did not possess any tangible imposing power.

Yet, when the old man saw these four characters, he saw a different scene.

A sword.

An invisible sword capable of attacking the Divine Soul.

As the four ancient characters condensed, it manifested in the Void Realm.

"Brat, I have to admit, this Cultivation Technique of yours is a very unique existence among all Daoist lineages, but wanting to rely on this ancient method to deal with me is likely not enough."

"Is that so? But why do I feel like you are afraid?"

Ye Xiu laughed out loud, and the [Divine Soul Attack] struck directly toward the old man.

Hum...

An invisible sword hum sounded.

The old man's expression changed drastically. He forcibly urged his own blood Qi to break through the blockade of the [Slow] character, and only then did he rapidly dodge in the firmament.

Yet, the invisible Divine Soul sword was as if it had a tracker.

As the old man moved, it pursued him accordingly.

"Brat, do not think I have no way to deal with you. Do not force me to kill you."

The old man was somewhat annoyed under the pursuit of the sword edge. If it weren't for his own Divine Soul being held back by those three, preventing him from using his Divine Soul power at will.

How could he be hunted by this brat?

"Old ghost, big talk is useless. If you want to kill me, just come and do it."

Ye Xiu was not annoyed. Purple energy erupted from his body, and ancient runes manifested one by one in the firmament, all of them being the four ancient runes for [Divine Soul Attack].

Hum...

The invisible sword hum was extremely piercing.

The Divine Soul swords, which originally could not affect the physical world, immediately caused a resonance when their number reached dozens.

The Void Realm was trembling.

Seeing this scene, the old man's aged face changed color.

He laughed coldly in anger: "Good brat, I didn't realize you had such strength. Today, I will kill you first, and then deal with them."

"Then you should block these attacks first before saying that."

Ye Xiu waved his hand, and dozens of invisible sword shadows immediately shot toward the old man.

This time.

The old man did not dodge.

It was as if a deity had possessed him; the Divine Soul that had previously vanished seemed to have returned this time. Looking at the incoming invisible swords, he no longer dodged.

He threw a punch.

Crack...

Heaven and earth cracked, and those dozens of sword shadows were immediately blocked entirely.

"Although I only retrieved ten percent of my Divine Soul power, it is enough to kill you." The old man sneered, took a step forward, and took the initiative to arrive in front of Ye Xiu.

He pressed down with another ordinary punch.

The terrifying power of blood Qi had almost reached the limit of what this world could achieve.

Ye Xiu's expression changed.

This old ghost's Physical Body was too strong, simply indescribably strong.

[Strength] [Increase] [Power] [Speed]

Four types of status enhancements descended upon him instantly.

Looking at the fist that had reached his face, he reached out and blocked it directly.

Boom...

Amidst a roar that shook the heavens and earth.

Ye Xiu was sent flying by the old man's punch.

He slammed heavily into the Restriction he had set up earlier.

Amidst a cracking sound.

That terrifying Restriction showed some cracks.

"Although it was very difficult, you were still able to block it. However, your Divine Soul power is not abundant; I would like to see how long you can hold out."

Ye Xiu's killing intent surged.

The four ancient runes were once again applied to his body.

[Divine Soul Coverage]

Kill!

With various status enhancements, Ye Xiu, like a Vicious Beast, began a fierce battle directly with the old man.

"Overestimating your own capabilities."

The old man let out a cold snort and met him directly.

Boom... Boom...

Amidst the terrifying reverberations, the two fought extremely fiercely.

Although Ye Xiu was far inferior to the old man in terms of the Physical Body.

But with the various status enhancements, he was still able to barely fight against him.
