89: Xuanjian Zhenjun

"Teacher, what kind of flower is this? It looks so eerie," Li Xingyan asked Fire Old, still shaken.

Seeing Li Xiangyun make his move, Fire Old breathed a sigh of relief and explained, "This is an other shore flower, growing by the banks of the Underworld River, symbolizing life and death."

"However, these in front of us are not true other shore flowers, but a manifestation of your Old Ancestor's The Dao Intent of Life and Death."

"other shore flower, huh..." Li Xingyan murmured to himself, continuing to stare ahead.

At the same time, Li Xiangyun's Aura was still rising.

Late-stage Golden Core... Golden Core Peak... yet he still couldn't cross that chasm.

Clearly, for a Golden Core to advance to Nascent Soul, it couldn't be achieved by Medicinal Pills alone.

But even so, by using Medicinal Pills to reach Golden Core Peak, Li Xiangyun finally gained the ability to resist.

Watching the giant palm get closer and closer, Li Xiangyun moved his stiff body.

At this moment, Li Xiangyun recalled the scene of the monkey facing the Buddha's Palm in his previous life.

He remembered the monkey standing tall, looking down on all heroes, yet feeling powerless as he was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain.

At this moment, they were also facing an unprecedentedly powerful enemy.

But he was different from the monkey; he dared to draw his sword!

At this moment, an unprecedented Aura erupted from Li Xiangyun's body.

His Qi pierced through the rainbow, he was fearless, he stared directly at the sky, his killing intent undisguised!

"Oh!"

The figure in the sky let out a surprised exclamation, and the speed of his palm involuntarily quickened a bit.

Li Xiangyun showed no fear, his entire body's power continuously converged frantically towards the long sword in his hand.

The Dao Intent of Ice, the Dao Intent of Sword, The Dao Intent of Life and Death, and finally, that ice-blue spiritual flame.

At this moment, all of Li Xiangyun's power was gathered on the long sword in his hand.

It seemed to sense his Battle Intent.

The star scar sword in Li Xiangyun's hand began to tremble violently, and a vast and powerful Sword Intent shot straight into the sky, as if it would fly out of his hand in the next second.

At this moment, the giant palm was already close at hand, mysterious spiritual patterns flowed beneath the skin of the giant palm, each pattern shimmering with dazzling light.

Then, the palm print patterns transformed into ancient suppression runes, pressing down towards Li Xiangyun.

Without hesitation, Li Xiangyun swung his sword.

This one sword, he wagered all his power!

"other shore flowers bloom, a fleeting moment of splendor!"

Li Xiangyun roared, pouring out all the power in his body.

In an instant, a sword light that seemed to transcend time flashed past.

Everyone's gaze at this moment was fixed on that sword light and the giant palm.

And so, under everyone's expectant gaze, that sword light collided with the giant palm.

There was no earth-shattering roar, nor a vast scene of a spiritual energy storm sweeping all around.

There was only the eerie contest between the sword light and the giant palm.

Finally, under everyone's shocked gaze, that sword light seemed to transform into the most brilliant meteor in the world, piercing through the giant palm and disappearing into the horizon.

Immediately, the golden giant palm also began to dissipate rapidly into specks of starlight in the air.

Shock!

At this moment, everyone looked at this scene, and besides shock, there was only shock.

To be honest, they had just thought that Li Xiangyun was certainly dead.

After all, when a Nascent Soul True Lord made a move, no matter how Heaven-Defying a person was, as long as they were still in the Golden Core Realm, it was almost impossible to stop them.

Because the gap between Golden Core and Nascent Soul was not just a difference in Spiritual Qi and Realm.

It was an even greater difference in the mastery of the rules of heaven and earth.

While the gap in Spiritual Qi could be bridged, the gap in the rules of heaven and earth could never be bridged.

Therefore, everyone was so shocked.

Among them, the most shocked was none other than Wei Tiangang.

Because he knew that with his strength, he simply couldn't block that sword just now.

In other words, if the Old Ancestor hadn't been here today, he might have already been cut down by Li Xiangyun's sword.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat instantly broke out on Wei Tiangang's back.

"But luckily, Li Xiangyun is destined to die today!"

A hint of killing intent flashed in Wei Tiangang's eyes; he didn't believe that with the Old Ancestor making a move, Li Xiangyun could still live.

Don't look at how Li Xiangyun's sword just now broke through the giant palm, shocking the world.

But Wei Tiangang knew that it was merely a casual strike from the Old Ancestor, while that sword was already Li Xiangyun's full power.

In fact, it was true.

At this moment, Li Xiangyun was panting heavily, his Spiritual Qi almost completely depleted, but even so, there was still no trace of fear in his eyes.

Suddenly, a majestic and domineering man appeared in front of Li Xiangyun.

His Aura was like an abyss, and he stood with his hands behind his back, wearing a black Daoist robe embroidered with dark gold turtle patterns, which shimmered faintly with the Spiritual Qi circulating around him.

His eyes were as deep as an abyss, as if hiding thousands of stars, and also seemed to contain the vast waves of the ocean; just a casual glance made people feel enveloped by a mighty Divine Sense, as if falling into an ice cave.

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

The Spirit Beast Sect Disciples below shouted in unison.

Wei Tiangang came to Lord Xuanwu's side, pointed at Li Xiangyun, and said, "Revered Master, this man killed an Elder of my Spirit Beast Sect. Please kill him, Revered Master, to eliminate future troubles."

"You are Li Xiangyun!"

Lord Xuanwu looked at Li Xiangyun, asking knowingly.

Li Xiangyun replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Precisely!"

"You do have some strength. Is there anything you wish to say?"

Lord Xuanwu was surrounded by an Aura like a mountain, steady and profound, commanding respect without anger.

"Nothing," Li Xiangyun remained calm and composed.

"In that case, then stay here!"

Having said that, Lord Xuanwu struck out with another palm towards Li Xiangyun.

"Revered Master!"

"Old Ancestor!"

Li Muwan and the others couldn't help but exclaim.

But Li Xiangyun showed no fear; instead, he looked towards a certain Void Realm, a smile playing on his lips.

Suddenly, a flying sword flew from the sky, easily blocking Lord Xuanwu's attack.

Immediately, a childish voice sounded, "Sword Qi spans thirty thousand li, one sword's light chills nineteen states!"

Wan Qing's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed joyfully, "It's Old Ancestor Xuanjian!"

However, Li Xiangyun was not surprised.

In fact, he had known that the Sect's Old Ancestor had arrived long ago, otherwise he wouldn't have been so presumptuous.

He just didn't know why Lord Xuanjian had been hiding in the dark, watching the show, probably wanting to see his strength.

Since that was the case, he naturally had to put on a good display.

Immediately after, under everyone's gaze.

Ten thousand Sword Qi suddenly appeared in the sky, streaking across the sky like a pouring galaxy.

The originally clear sky suddenly rippled in layers, and an ancient bronze sword engraved with ancient runes floated in mid-air. As the sword body trembled, a storm of fierce Sword Intent swept across the wilderness.

A handsome young man, treading on the sword's spine, slowly stepped out from the Void Realm. The Sword Qi surrounding him condensed into a light blue halo, and wherever he passed, the Void Realm trembled.

Everyone was somewhat surprised, not expecting the rumored Lord Xuanjian to appear as a young man.

But what made everyone most speechless was that this Lord Xuanjian actually kept winking at the Spirit Beast Sect Cultivators below, causing many female Cultivators to cheer.
