59: Li Jiaoyang of Xuanyang Holy Land, Substitute Death Talisman

Xu Jinhuan took the lead, with Yin Xinsu, Fang Qingyao, and the other two women following closely behind as they walked into the dilapidated thatched cottage.

Outside, a group of Cultivators watched their backs and discussed spiritedly.

"This Young Master is just too handsome. Hehe, I really want to welcome him with open arms..."

"To be able to trouble a Saint Elder from the Red Lotus Heavenly Palace to clear the way, what kind of Prodigy is this person?"

"Look at the Taiyi mark on his robes, combined with such world-shaking appearance, I fear this can only be the rising star, Sequence Xu from the Giant Deer Dao Province!"

A Cultivator blurted this out.

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent for a brief moment, followed by a chorus of gasps. The crowd's gaze toward the thatched cottage was instantly filled with shock and awe.

At the same time, countless Cultivators became excited.

"If I remember correctly, the God Child of Renyu Manor already went in earlier, right?"

"Not just him! The Goddess of the Qin Family from the Longevity Family, the Dao Progenitor of the Zhou Family, the Seventh Young Master of the Nine-Headed Golden Lion clan, and the Saint Li Jiaoyang from the Xuanyang Holy Land... these top Prodigies have all arrived!"

"With so many young Prodigies gathered here, there's going to be a good show! We might even witness a clash between Prodigies with our own eyes!"

The crowd kept naming prominent figures, becoming more and more excited; such a grand event was rare and hard to come by.

These Prodigies were usually high and mighty, hidden within their Sects and families, rarely seen. Only an Opportunity like the appearance of a Great Emperor Legacy could draw them all out.

"Master, I want to go in with Young Master Xu too."

Beside Elder Yu, her female Disciple spoke shyly, looking like a young girl experiencing her first love.

"If you are lusting after Young Master Xu, you can just say so; there's no need to beat around the bush."

Elder Yu mercilessly exposed her Disciple's tactic while reminding her.

"Even if you really want to go in, you should change your underpants first. Look at yourself, what have you become?"

"Master! You have the nerve to criticize me? In my opinion, Master, you should change your clothes too! I can even see the changes!"

"Wicked Disciple, you're asking for a beating!"

The two played and joked for a while before returning to the Saint flying boat to change their attire.

...

Walking into the thatched cottage, Xu Jinhuan felt a mysterious sense of dizziness wash over him. The scenery before his eyes shifted rapidly like flowing light and shadow, and his body also shrank rapidly in an invisible way.

The dilapidated thatched cottage, which looked no more than ten square meters from the outside, actually contained a hidden dimension within, instantly transforming into a vast space spanning ten thousand miles!

"Mustard Seed in Sumeru, what a delicate Divine Ability. No wonder this place has always been suspected of being a Great Emperor Immortal Cave."

Upon entering, Xu Jinhuan knew why this place was so famous.

He surveyed this mountain-and-river-like space and saw that in a certain corner, a large number of Cultivators had already gathered. At this moment, they were all sitting cross-legged, their eyes fixed on the center of the crowd, their expressions entranced, clearly immersed in the comprehension of the Dao, attempting to fathom the mysteries of the Great Emperor Legacy from it.

Xu Jinhuan and the others did not hesitate and walked directly toward that direction.

Sure enough, the legendary Great Emperor stone carving was being surrounded by everyone for comprehension.

Around the stone carving, many Cultivators had their eyes tightly closed, their foreheads covered in bead-sized sweat, clearly the mysterious power emanating from the stone carving was causing no small trouble to their Divine Soul.

Xu Jinhuan and the other four also walked slowly toward the stone carving, preparing to calm their minds and comprehend the Supreme secrets within.

But just at this moment, a blazing stream of light suddenly tore through the Void Realm, carrying terrifying flames capable of incinerating a Heavenly God, surrounded by countless Laws of Divine Light.

Whoosh!

The stream of light and flames acted like an arrow, shooting directly toward Xu Jinhuan's direction!

Seeing the incoming blazing stream of light, Fang Qingyao's body trembled violently, her Face turned pale as paper in an instant, her delicate body shivering uncontrollably, her eyes filled with extreme fear and anger.

The aura of those flames was something she remembered deep in her bones!

It was one of the unique Divine Ability used by the culprits who wiped out her entire Fang Family back then!

Xu Jinhuan keenly sensed the abnormality in the beauty beside him. His Divine Thought moved slightly, instantly understanding the cause and effect, and a chill rose sharply in his eyes.

"Are these troubles finally coming to my door?"

He sneered, not even turning his head, just casually flicking his hand.

Hum!

Chaos Power appeared suddenly, like a Chaos river spanning heaven and earth, crashing straight into that Heaven-burning flame.

The terrifying flames, in front of the Chaos Power, were like snow meeting the scorching sun; they didn't even last half a breath before turning into wisps of green smoke and dissipating without a trace, and the source of that stream of light was also fiercely repelled by an invisible giant force.

With a boom, the Void Realm not far away exploded violently.

A figure stumbled out, forced to reveal their form.

It was a young man wearing red Daoist robes, with a handsome but somewhat arrogant Face, surrounded by astonishing heat waves, as if he were a walking blazing sun, domineering and unruly.

"The younger brother of the Xuanyang Dao Progenitor, the Saint Li Jiaoyang?"

Not far away, a gossip-loving bystander instantly recognized the young man's identity and exclaimed.

Li Xuanyang was the most terrifying Prodigy in the history of the Xuanyang Holy Land, having broken through to the Heavenly God Realm before the age of thirty, and was famous throughout the Three Thousand Dao Provinces.

And his younger brother, Li Jiaoyang, was not weak either, being at the fourth level of the Divine Spirit Realm at twenty-five, with a considerable reputation.

Now that they saw Li Jiaoyang make a move, many Cultivators had their attention drawn over.

"Sure enough, it's Qingyao's enemy!"

Xu Jinhuan felt no fluctuations in his heart; he had already anticipated the other party's identity.

"Surname Xu, you dare to block me?"

Failing in his attack, Li Jiaoyang steadied his figure, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Xu Jinhuan with sinister eyes, looking at Yin Xinsu with some trepidation, but the arrogance in his tone did not diminish in the slightest.

"Little girl of the Fang Family, today, out of respect for the Taiyi Holy Land, I will let you go for now. Next time we meet, I will definitely behead you!"

After speaking, he turned around and prepared to retreat into the crowd, as if his previous attack was just a casual act.

He completely disregarded Xu Jinhuan.

Just at this moment, Xu Jinhuan spoke.

"Who gave you the guts to just walk away in front of me?"

Xu Jinhuan's voice was as cold as ice. He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes boiling with killing intent.

Behind him, the Void Realm trembled, and ten phantoms of ancient Immortal Beasts that blotted out the sky suddenly emerged.

A Qilin spitting auspiciousness, a Golden Roc striking the sky, a True Dragon soaring through the clouds, a White Tiger roaring at the moon...

The ten great Immortal Beast phantoms roared in unison, their Divine Might piercing the heavens!

"Since you have attacked me, courtesy demands reciprocity. If you can take one move from me, I will spare your life today."

Boom!

Xu Jinhuan pushed out a palm.

This palm looked ordinary, but it fused the Origin characteristics of the ten great ancient Immortal Beasts, and even more, it was wrapped in Chaos Power, containing terrifying strength capable of killing a Heavenly God.

Before the palm print landed, the surrounding space had already begun to crack inch by inch, as if it were about to be completely crushed by this palm!

The jade-white palm swept across the sky, spraying out boundless Chaos Qi, instantly piercing ten thousand zhang of the Void Realm, and crushed directly toward Li Jiaoyang.

"You dare?!"

A cold glint flashed in Li Jiaoyang's eyes, and his Face turned extremely ugly.

He had never thought that Xu Jinhuan would actually dare to attack him.

And so ruthlessly.

This strike was clearly aimed at killing him!

The other party was too arrogant!

Li Jiaoyang laughed out of extreme anger:

"Good! What a madman! Today I will let you know that the chasm between a Mortal and a Spirit God cannot be crossed by mere talent!"

The flames around his body surged, driving all his cultivation, and the Xuanyang Holy Fire transformed into a huge fire shield in front of him.

But all of this was in vain.

"Not good!"

Boom!

The immensely fierce palm landed heavily on Li Jiaoyang.

In an instant, it exploded in boundless Divine Light, countless defensive treasures shattered and broke, turning into a pile of scrap metal flying everywhere.

And Li Jiaoyang himself exploded directly in the Void Realm, turning into a mist of blood.

"Damn! This... how is this possible?!"

"Li Jiaoyang is the younger brother of the Xuanyang Dao Progenitor. If it weren't for Li Xuanyang being too stunning, he might have had a chance to become the Dao Progenitor. How could he be blasted apart by a single palm so easily?"

Around them, a large number of Cultivators were shocked by the palm just now, standing frozen on the spot.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief, as if they had seen a scene that would only appear in a fantasy world.

"Deserving of being an existence that can break the eternal extreme realm. Just that punch, I feel that even if a Heavenly God came, they might not be able to withstand it!"

"Too terrifying. Although that palm wasn't aimed at me, I just felt a sense of suffocation, as if I were being pressed by a ten-thousand-mile mountain on my shoulders, and I didn't dare to move at all!"

"Is this the gold content of the Taiyi Holy Land sequence? It's truly outrageous. No wonder he was personally appointed by the Taiyi Old Ancestor!"

At the same time, many Prodigies comprehending the stone carving turned their heads one after another, looking at the battlefield with solemn eyes.

Xu Jinhuan showed such terrifying strength, which greatly increased the pressure on their shoulders.

And there was also that notorious profound yin sword master present.

I fear that in the entire Huayang Immortal Cave, there is no force that can rival them.

Hum—

In the Void Realm, red light lit up, and Li Jiaoyang's figure re-condensed, but compared to the original, it became much more illusory.

At the same time, his Face was pale, and his eyes were filled with extreme fear.

This Xu Jinhuan is too terrifying!

"A Death-Substitution Talisman? It seems your brother really dotes on you to have given you such a thing."

Xu Jinhuan was also slightly surprised in his heart.

The value of a Death-Substitution Talisman is not low, and it can only be made by a Great Saint powerhouse. It can be used as a life at a critical moment, and after use, it can obtain half a quarter of an hour of Saint Power protection.

If not for this Talisman, Li Jiaoyang would have really been killed by Xu Jinhuan's palm!

"Get lost now!"

Xu Jinhuan's gaze flashed, and he said lightly, his killing intent still stern, but the other party had Saint Power protection, so he couldn't do anything to him for the time being.

"You!"

Hearing such a direct reprimand and expulsion, Li Jiaoyang's Face turned blue and white, and his expression was extremely ugly.

But thinking back to the unstoppable and terrifying palm just now, he couldn't help but shudder, and infinite fear sprouted from the bottom of his heart.

His Death-Substitution Talisman had already been used; if he were caught by Xu Jinhuan again, he would surely die!

In a panic, he didn't even have time to say any harsh words and turned around to leave.

With Li Jiaoyang's departure, no one around the stone carving dared to underestimate Xu Jinhuan anymore.

"What a terrifying method. I couldn't have taken that palm just now..."

The Goddess of the Qin Family muttered, then smiled bitterly in dejection.

"Junior Brother Xu looks so handsome and romantic, I didn't expect his Physical Body to be so terrifying; it's even worse than those ancient extreme fierce beasts!"

Yin Xinsu beside her was also clicking her tongue endlessly.

Fang Qingyao was full of admiration and gratitude.

That palm was so satisfying!

She had been suppressed for more than ten years, experiencing countless pains and hardships, and today she finally felt proud and elated!

"Deserving of being the Supreme Supreme destined to suppress the eternal ages and step on the galaxy Universe, deserving of being my man..."

After confirming that Li Jiaoyang had left, Xu Jinhuan walked quickly toward the stone carving and waved his hand, signaling.

"Alright, it's time to go see what is going on with this Great Emperor Scripture."
