477: Chapter 477 How to Play

Heavenly Venerable Mogong glanced at her from the side, his voice not loud, yet carrying intense insult: "It has reached this point, and you still don't understand?"

"Mad Venerable was injured and went into seclusion, but he has long since fallen victim to a sinister plot."

Mystic Talisman Heavenly Venerable trembled all over, as if struck by lightning.

She opened her mouth, but found she couldn't utter a single word. Now that the facts were clearly laid out before her, she had no choice but to believe it.

Medicine Venerable added salt to the wound from the side: "You should be grateful that during the last turmoil in Rain God Continent, the target of that Great Love Immortal Venerable was not you."

In the Void Realm, Great Love Immortal Venerable held two god-rank Magic Treasures, his surrounding Aura having already climbed to a terrifying level.

That pitch-black long blade trembled slightly, and the seven dark red gems on the back of the blade bloomed one by one, like seven scarlet eyes watching all things in the world.

And the dim blue flame on the Eternal Evergreen Lamp flickered gently, a pale blue light shield spreading from the lamp body, enveloping Great Love Immortal Venerable entirely.

"To be able to force this Venerable to use these two supreme treasures, you have enough reason to be proud."

As the words fell, he waved his left hand, and the pitch-black long blade slashed out abruptly!

There was no blade radiance, no sound of wind, only a strange black line silently cutting through the Void Realm.

Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, formed a hand Seal with his left hand, and a giant shield condensed from the Sun True Fire took shape before him. The golden flames burned fiercely, sufficient to incinerate all things.

However, that black line treated the fire shield as if it were nothing, passing straight through without the slightest hesitation.

Chen Xuan had no choice but to flash his figure, avoiding its sharpness, and moved several zhang to the left. The black line flew past his robe corner, disappearing into the distant Void Realm.

Heavenly Venerable Mogong hurriedly spoke up to remind him: "Sect Master Chen, do not be careless. That Soul-Devouring Blade specializes in severing Dao foundations. Wherever the blade edge passes, it leaves a black line. That black line corresponds not only to the severing of the cultivation base and Dao foundation, but also represents a death tribulation."

"The seven gems on the blade each Seal a death tribulation. When the seven gems all dim simultaneously, it is the Seven Tribulations becoming one, which even immortals cannot save."

Medicine Venerable also provided intelligence from the side: "That Eternal Evergreen Lamp, as long as the green light does not extinguish, the holder possesses an undying body. Any injury or Spiritual Qi consumption will be forcibly reverted to an unoccurred state by that green light, lasting at most for half an incense stick of time."

After speaking, he turned his head and whispered a reminder to Heavenly Venerable Mogong: "If the situation is not right, the two of us will immediately make a move to take this person down."

Heavenly Venerable Mogong nodded gently and gave a sound of acknowledgment.

At the moment, that Sect Master Chen had not yet shown signs of being at a disadvantage, so it was not convenient to act rashly.

Great Love Immortal Venerable frowned and glanced at the spectators on the side, "Truly noisy."

"So what if you know this Venerable's background? I really want to see what other moves you have to respond."

Chen Xuan clicked his tongue twice. A Magic Treasure that can kill enemies instantly, and one that can provide invincibility for a short time—truly worthy of being god-rank Magic Treasures; indeed, none of them are simple.

Hmm, the Soul-Devouring Blade can be left for Ye Hao to use; that kid is decisive in killing, which is just right. As for the Eternal Evergreen Lamp, it can be left for Ping'an; that child is exactly in need of life-saving means.

With his thoughts finished, Chen Xuan raised his eyes to look at Great Love Immortal Venerable: "Come!"

Great Love Immortal Venerable's expression changed, and he instinctively swung his blade. Another black line shot out from the Soul-Devouring Blade, slashing towards Chen Xuan's face.

Chen Xuan did not dodge or avoid, his figure abruptly changing direction in mid-air. With a flip, he let the black line pass beneath his feet, his movements smooth as flowing water, clean and neat.

He formed a hand Seal with his left hand, and a purple thunderbolt gushed out from his palm, turning into a baring-fangs-and-brandishing-claws thunder dragon, rushing towards Great Love Immortal Venerable with a boom.

The thunder dragon collided with the green light shield of the Eternal Evergreen Lamp, stirring up circles of violent ripples, but it was like a clay ox entering the sea, unable to penetrate even a fraction.

Great Love Immortal Venerable didn't even bother to defend, only focusing on swinging his blade to attack fiercely. The best way to use this Magic Treasure was to trade injuries for life—anyway, with the green light protecting his body, the opponent's attacks couldn't do anything to him, while as long as his black line touched the opponent even a little, it would mean the Dao foundation was damaged and the cultivation base would drop.

The third and fourth black lines were slashed out in succession, weaving into a large black net, enveloping Chen Xuan from different directions.

Chen Xuan's pupils shrank slightly, and he pushed his movement technique to the limit.

He moved and dodged in the Void Realm, like a butterfly flying through flowers, dancing gracefully between the blade edges. The first black line flew past his left shoulder, the second passed over his head, and the third grazed his waist. Each time was extremely dangerous, yet he was always able to barely avoid them.

Although those black lines could not be defended against, as long as one's movement technique was fast enough and reactions were sharp enough, one could calmly dodge them before they reached the body.

Great Love Immortal Venerable's expression grew increasingly gloomy, and his blade momentum became more and more fierce.

Great Love Immortal Venerable's expression was calm: "You can hide for the first day, but you cannot hide for the fifteenth."

The fifth black line slashed out. Chen Xuan lowered his figure, and the black line passed over his head, cutting off a few strands of hair.

The sixth black line followed closely behind. Chen Xuan had no time to dodge, so he could only strike out with a palm, borrowing the force of the recoil to drift back several zhang, barely passing by the black line.

Six black lines crisscrossed in the Void Realm, almost sealing off all space for evasion. But Chen Xuan was always able to find that single gap at the most dangerous moment, barely scraping past, as if he had already calculated the trajectory of every black line in his heart.

Heavenly Venerable Mogong's eyes were like torches, and he whispered: "Stalling for time is correct. Within this half an incense stick of time, any counterattack is futile. Only by waiting for that lamp flame to extinguish is it possible to obtain a chance of victory."

Medicine Venerable nodded slowly, but his brows were tightly locked: "But... wanting to forcefully drag it out for half an incense stick of time, I am afraid it will be somewhat difficult."

Great Love Immortal Venerable obviously also realized this point, "Do you think this Venerable will let you drag it out like this?"

In an instant!

Streaks of black line slashes gushed out from the Soul-Devouring Blade, intersecting into an airtight net of death, covering down from all directions simultaneously. Above, below, front, back, left, right—all retreat routes were sealed. The current situation was unavoidable.

Chen Xuan's gaze condensed, and he suddenly stopped his figure, forming a hand Seal with both hands. "One Thought Void-Shattering Art."

Invisible spatial ripples spread wildly from his fingertips, but they were not attacking outward; rather, they were piling up layer upon layer in front of him. Layer after layer of spatial fragments, like millions of pieces of glass, constructed a twisted barrier before him.

Crack, crack, crack.

The spatial fragments shattered layer by layer, emitting crisp sounds like breaking glass. With each layer shattered, the might of the black line weakened by a fraction, and its direction was also distorted and shifted slightly.

When the last layer of spatial fragments shattered, the black line had already deviated from its original trajectory, passing by half a zhang to the side of Chen Xuan, slashing into the distant Void Realm, leaving a huge crack that could not heal for a long time.

"Good technique." Medicine Venerable on the side couldn't help but praise, a brilliant light flashing in his cloudy old eyes.

However, the next moment.

A stream of light flashed across the Void Realm, so fast that even Divine Sense couldn't catch it. Great Love Immortal Venerable had already appeared behind Chen Xuan, and a wisp of faint black energy still hung on the Soul-Devouring Blade.

"First blade!"

Heavenly Venerable Mogong and the others looked over fiercely, only to see that on the right elbow of the Man in White Robes, a pitch-black diagonal mark had already been slashed.

Chen Xuan frowned slightly, only feeling that a large portion of the Spiritual Qi in his body was instantly drawn away. Rather than being drawn away, it was more like a section had been severed. Not more, not less, exactly one-seventh.

But before he could think carefully, the missing Spiritual Power was quickly filled again.

From the depths of his Dantian, an endless stream of power surged out, like a dried-up riverbed being flooded again by a deluge, and in the blink of an eye, the severed part was completely replenished.

My goodness...

Truly worthy of being a Peak experience card; it lives up to the word 'Peak'.

Spiritual Power can be automatically replenished even after being severed; where is this a Peak Tribulation Transcendence Realm? It's simply cheating with unlimited battery life.

But with this kind of cheat, how are you supposed to let Great Love Immortal Venerable play?
