136: The Immortal Clan of Immortality, the Eternal Heart!

[Ding, daily intelligence has been refreshed!]

[White Intelligence: In tomorrow's Foundation Establishment Great Competition finals, the Son of Destiny Xiao Fan will be defeated by Lu Xueyao. At the life-and-death moment when he is about to be slain by Lu Xueyao's sword, a Body Integration Stage pressure capable of suppressing the entire field will suddenly descend!]

The newcomer is a Body Integration Stage expert from the Longevity Immortal Clan's Qin Family in the Central Region—Qin Jiuyou.

This person is actually the Dao Protector for the Family of Xiao Fan's biological mother and has been secretly observing Xiao Fan's growth. He will forcefully intervene to save Xiao Fan and take him away through the void to the Central Region on the spot.]

[Golden Intelligence: Although the Son of Destiny Gu Changge acts crazily, he has also kept a final life-saving trump card. He has pre-set a hidden one-way teleportation Formation in a withered well of an abandoned ancient temple in the west of Huangtian City.]

Once today's plan to blood sacrifice Huangtian City fails, he will no longer linger in battle and will escape directly through this Formation to the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

There lies a secret palace he left behind in his past life as the Devil Emperor—the Eternal Night Demon Palace. Within the immortal manor, a "Eternal Heart" that he stripped from himself in his previous life is sealed. If he can fuse with this heart, it will not only instantly repair his damaged Foundation but also cause his Physical Body's strength to skyrocket directly to the Peak of Refinement Void level!

[Green Intelligence: Although the Grand Elder of the Purple Heaven Immortal Sect, Dao Monarch Zixiao, successfully promoted to the Body Integration Stage, he actually forcibly consumed a Tribulation Crossing Pill to pass the Heart Demon Tribulation; in reality, the Heart Demon still exists within his body.]

The Formless Heavenly Demon Art that the Host has just mastered is the absolute nemesis of this fellow. If, at a critical moment in a magical duel, this technique is used to trigger the fears and obsessions deep within his heart, it can instantly detonate the Heart Demon Tribulation he has suppressed, causing his magical power to backfire and leading to his collapse without a fight.]

After reading these three pieces of intelligence, Lu Yuan's originally lazy gaze instantly became sharp.

"Qin Family? Longevity Immortal Clan?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of Lu Yuan's mouth: "Beat the small one and the old one comes, beat the old one and an even older one comes. This cliché is truly classic."

However, now that he knew the opponent's background, things would be easy to handle.

As for Gu Changge... "The Eternal Heart, huh?" A glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes: "As expected of a Devil Emperor's Reincarnation, he really has a lot of good things!"

...The next morning.

The Huangtian City Martial Arts Arena was bustling with noise, even more lively than yesterday.

Today was the day of the final battle for the Foundation Establishment Stage competition!

Two figures stood upon that solitary central arena stage.

Lu Xueyao, dressed in white, held the Great Luo Heavenly Sword, with Reincarnation Sword Intent flowing around her like an invincible female sword immortal.

Opposite her, Xiao Fan was dressed in green robes, hands behind his back, his expression as indifferent as water.

At this moment, Xiao Fan's temperament was completely different from before.

Within his eyes, there was a faint sense of ancient, weathered depth that had seen through the world, as if an old monster who had lived for thousands of years resided within his body.

Heaven-Deceiving Secret Art!

Deep within the Sea of Consciousness where no one could perceive, the remnant soul of Venerable Yao had already taken control of this body.

"Lu Xueyao."

"Xiao Fan" spoke slowly, his voice carrying a hint of hoarseness: "You are very strong, but before me, you are ultimately a step behind."

"Your sword path is sharp, but not heavy enough."

This old-fashioned tone of guidance made the audience below the stage freeze for a moment, feeling that Xiao Fan was acting quite strangely today.

Lu Xueyao, however, didn't care at all what he was pretending to be. Her beautiful eyes turned cold, and the long sword in her hand was instantly unsheathed.

"Enough nonsense, draw your sword!"

Zheng!

The Panhuang Void Sword intent erupted.

A silver thread of Sword Qi ignored the spatial distance and instantly sliced toward Xiao Fan's throat.

"Merely the fur and feathers of Law of Space."

"Xiao Fan" shook his head, a flash of disdain in his eyes.

"Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The aura within his body surged crazily at this moment.

His cultivation, which was originally only at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, actually broke through the barriers under the stimulation of the secret technique, briefly reaching the terrifying level of the Middle Stage Golden Core!

This was Venerable Yao's unique secret technique, using exotic fire as fuel and burning potential in exchange for power.

"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger—Two Fingers Shatter Mountains and Rivers!"

"Xiao Fan" raised his right hand, pressing two fingers together and pointing fiercely at the incoming void sword thread.

Rumble!

The void trembled as two ancient finger phantoms, like pillars supporting the sky, condensed out of thin air. The fingerprints were clearly visible, carrying an ancient aura that suppressed everything.

Bang!

The void sword thread struck the giant fingers, actually producing the sound of clashing metal. Subsequently, both shattered, turning into a storm of Spiritual Qi that filled the sky.

An even match!

"He actually blocked it?"

A flash of surprise crossed Lu Xueyao's eyes, but her sword momentum didn't stop for a moment.

"Again!"

"Pan Huang Years Sword—Severing Spring and Autumn!"

She turned her wrist, and the sword light became blurred and dreamlike, as a sense of the vicissitudes of passing time filled the arena.

This strike slashes one's Lifespan!

Facing this attack, "Xiao Fan's" expression finally changed.

The power of time was the most difficult to deal with.

"Ancient Desolate Sacred Body—Chaos Seed Green Lotus!"

He no longer acted arrogant and directly activated his Sacred Body Phenomenon.

Boom!

A grey, hazy sea of Chaos misery spread out behind him, and a swaying green lotus rose from the sea, shedding ten thousand rays of green light to protect him within.

Zizi zizi!

The Sword Qi of ages slashed against the green light. Although it made the green lotus tremble violently and its light dim, it was ultimately blocked.

"What a fine Ancient Desolate Sacred Body."

Lu Xueyao took a deep breath, and within her eyes, those six mysterious black vortices surfaced once more.

This time, they were clearer and deeper than before.

After Lu Yuan's guidance last night, her comprehension of this move had reached the Transcendent level.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword—Six Paths Destruction!"

Qiang!

The Great Luo Heavenly Sword let out a wail, as if it could not withstand the terrifying power of this move.

A terrifying Sword Qi, pitch-black as ink and seemingly connected to the depths of Hell, spanned across the sky.

As this sword slashed out, the heavens and earth changed color, and the sun and moon lost their light.

The entire arena's protective Formation shattered in an instant, and six massive black hole vortices revolved around the Sword Qi, swallowing all surrounding light and Spiritual Qi.

"Not good!!"

Within Xiao Fan's Sea of Consciousness, Venerable Yao let out a terrified scream.

"This is the power of Reincarnation? How could this girl possibly master such a forbidden power?!"

"I can't block it! I absolutely can't block it!"

Venerable Yao panicked. He could feel that this sword strike not only slashed the Physical Body but would even drag the Soul into Reincarnation to be obliterated. He was currently only in a remnant soul state; if he took this hit, he would surely die!

"Xiao Fan! Run!"

He tried to control the body to retreat, but under the lock of that Reincarnation aura, the surrounding space had already solidified.

Watching as that terrifying black sword light was about to completely swallow Xiao Fan.

Just then.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort seemed to come from above the Nine Heavens.

"Boom!"

A vast and boundless, eternally suppressing terrifying pressure descended upon the Martial Arts Arena without warning.

It was precisely the Body Integration Stage pressure!

"Who dares to harm the Bloodline of my Qin Family?!"
