27: What kind of talk is that? Does he mean I have to die if he doesn't?
Whoosh!
Bursting forth from the Seven-Colored Divine Light, the space was filled with seven-colored cracks. Yan Tianxing's flame Spell instantly disintegrated under the impact of the Seven-Colored Divine Light.
“Die!”
Shen Xuansheng pressed down with a palm, and the Seven-Colored Divine Light directly penetrated Yan Tianxing's body. More than half of his body instantly turned into nothingness.
“Gurgle... gurgle... hah...”
Yan Tianxing's eyes widened as he watched more than half of his body disappear, blood continuously spilling. “How... is this possible?”
“A mere Nirvana Realm cultivator, if I can't instantly kill you, then wouldn't the pain I suffered from the Great Sun Golden Flame be in vain?” Shen Xuansheng said, extending a palm that transformed into a giant magical power palm, intending to extract Yan Tianxing's Divine Soul.
“Come out!”
Yan Tianxing's Divine Soul was seized by Shen Xuansheng and forcibly pulled out from the remaining half of his body.
Suddenly.
A more powerful flame fluctuation came from the sky, shattering Shen Xuansheng's magical power palm, and Yan Tianxing's Divine Soul instantly returned to his body.
“Your Excellency, one should be lenient when possible!”
“Yan Tianxing has already paid the price for his mistake, why must Your Excellency pursue him to the death?”
Flames swept through, roaring across the heavens and earth. From within the flames, a handsome Young Master emerged, clad in a flame robe, with streaks of red hair mixed in his long hair. In his hand, he held a flame folding fan, which he snapped open, revealing three large characters on it.
Fire God Son!
“I heard that the Fire God Sect has a Saint who possesses the innate Fire God Dao Body, extraordinarily powerful. It seems that would be you?” Shen Xuansheng said calmly after seeing the newcomer.
Fire God Son closed his fan, cupped his hands, and said, “Indeed, it is I.”
“Fellow Daoist, Yan Tianxing's actions were entirely his own and have nothing to do with my Fire God Sect. Huo Jing's death was her own undoing. Yan Tianxing merely acted irrationally upon seeing his beloved die.”
“Now, Yan Tianxing's injuries will take several hundred years to recover, which can be considered the price for offending Your Excellency. I wonder if, for my Face, you would let this matter rest?”
Fire God Son spoke with sincerity and humility.
Upon seeing Fire God Son, Yan Tianxing immediately shouted, “Senior Brother, save me!”
Shen Xuansheng looked at Fire God Son and chuckled softly, “No!”
“Look at what you're saying. If he doesn't die, do I have to die?”
“I say he dies, and he must die!”
Fire God Son's expression changed, and his folding fan snapped open again. His voice also turned cold: “Your Excellency, are you not planning to yield even a step?”
Shen Xuansheng shook his head: “I cannot yield!”
“However, if you want to die, I can also grant your wish.”
“You Senior Brothers have deep affection; you might as well keep each other company on the road.”
As Shen Xuansheng spoke, he pointed a finger.
“Azure Sea Underworld Finger!”
A terrifying magical power fluctuation erupted. Seeing this, Fire God Son's body was engulfed in flames, transforming into a streak of fire as he fled into the distance: “Since that's the case, I must take my leave!”
Yan Tianxing: “???”
“Senior Brother!!”
Shen Xuansheng dispersed the Yellow Springs Finger Divine Ability, looking at the fleeing Fire God Son: “This guy is quite interesting!”
Life-Slaying Sword swayed over to Shen Xuansheng and said, “Old Shen, this guy is someone significant. He already has the Immortal Tribulation upon him, so he probably doesn't dare to make a move.”
“Hmph!”
“Not worth worrying about. If he dares to interfere again next time, I'll just refine his Fire God Dao Body to strengthen my Seven-Colored Li Fire Dao.”
After Shen Xuansheng finished speaking, he slammed his palm down.
Amidst Yan Tianxing's screams, Yan Tianxing's Divine Soul was completely annihilated!
“Senior, the Cultivation Technique you gave me doesn't seem to be able to absorb spiritual Qi from heaven and earth. Does that mean I can only Cultivate on the Sun Star from now on?” Shen Xuansheng asked with a frown. The Heavenly Dominance Divine Art was powerful, but it seemed it couldn't be Cultivated with heaven and earth spiritual Qi.
Di Cha shook his big head: “Don't ask me, I don't know either.”
“You figure it out yourself. If you need to go to the Sun Star, I'll just take you up there.”
After learning about the Void Realm and Chaos Sea, Shen Xuansheng was reluctant to go to the Sun Star now. What if something emerged from the Void Realm and Chaos Sea that he couldn't contend with in his current state?
“Forget it.”
“I'll explore it further.”
Shen Xuansheng sat on Di Cha's back, continuing to explore the wondrous uses of the Heavenly Dominance Divine Art... Three days later.
At a location fifty thousand li away from the Jiesheng Sect.
Di Cha suddenly stopped.
His gaze turned to another direction.
“What's wrong?” Shen Xuansheng asked, puzzled.
Di Cha said, “I sensed Xu Yaochi's aura.”
“She has left the Jiesheng Sect. Your Sect Master said that once Xu Yaochi leaves, she must be prepared.”
“Kid, that Xu Yaochi is facing a Prodigy who has fused with a Devil Head. Although Xu Yaochi is Cultivating again with a crippled body, her strength is greater than before, but in the end, it's not her original body.”
“Do you want to go and see?”
Shen Xuansheng's eyes darkened: “Senior, what stage is Senior Sister's current strength at?”
“One hundred and fifty years ago, she was already at the Profound Immortal Realm Early Stage.”
“The Life-Slaying Sword is here, and that guy wouldn't possibly give her the other two sect-guarding Magic Treasures.”
Shen Xuansheng took a deep breath: “Profound Immortal Realm, which means the opponent's strength can only be above the Profound Immortal Realm?”
Di Cha nodded.
“That's impossible.”
Shen Xuansheng said, “That person is from the Sima Family. According to Xu Yao, that person must still be in the Sima Family. If the opponent were an Immortal, the Sima Family definitely couldn't accommodate her.”
“The opponent cannot be an Immortal.”
“Senior Sister has the strength and cultivation of the Profound Immortal Realm, yet she's still not the opponent's match? That's unlikely, isn't it?”
Di Cha snorted.
“Kid, it seems you still know too little. It can't be helped, you're young, so it's normal not to know.”
“If the Devil Head and that person have merged and haven't become an Immortal after all this time, it means that person hasn't absorbed the Devil Head's power. But once absorbed, as long as the main body is Nirvana Realm Perfection, becoming a Profound Immortal would only take an incense stick's time, or even surpass the Profound Immortal Realm.”
Shen Xuansheng was stunned: “No Undergoing Tribulation?”
“With the Devil Head's power, it can still hold on for a short period, and this time is enough to decide life and death with your Senior Sister.”
“And once Xu Yaochi dies, the opponent can obtain Xu Yaochi's Dao Body Origin Essence. Huo Jing comprehended using Xu Yaochi's Dao Body Origin Essence, the Devil Head obtained the Origin power and Divine Soul power, and the remaining Divine Soul power of Xu Yaochi would be seized by the opponent, making Undergoing Tribulation for Immortal Ascension a trivial matter.”
“Then let's go and see!”
Shen Xuansheng said, “With the Life-Slaying Sword and you, Senior, Senior Sister won't possibly lose.”
Di Cha exhaled two streams of white smoke from his nostrils.
“I hope so.”
Tianduan Mountain Range.
This place is eighty thousand li from the Jiesheng Sect and a full one hundred and twenty thousand li from the Sima Family.
Within a thousand li radius, it is all wasteland.
Only this Tianduan Mountain Range stands on the wasteland. Here, various violent heaven and earth spiritual Qi are abundant, making it a veritable place for Undergoing Tribulation.
“Xu Yaochi!”
At the peak of the mountain range, a woman in green sat cross-legged on a Magical Power Lotus, her expression gentle, like a lotus flower, showing no signs of having any connection to a Devil Head.
On the other side of the mountain range.
The blue-clad Xu Yaochi slowly walked over from the air: “How is my Dao Body Origin Essence working out for you?”
Sima Yun slowly rose: “Unfortunately, it's still a little short.”
“Xu Yaochi, today, completely give your Nirvana Dao Body to me!”
