901: Luo Li crushes Jiang Xuan and strikes out a peerless divine axe

“Ah…”

A familiar sharp pain swept through his entire body, and Jiang Xuan let out a shrill cry, his heart filled with extreme terror.

However, having experienced it once before, coupled with ten years of tempering and arduous cultivation in a world with a different flow of time, he was not as broken as the first time.

Jiang Xuan immediately circulated the Chaos Devouring Dao Scripture. This was the supreme Dao scripture created by the first-generation Chaos Devouring Body Demon God.

Jiang Xuan, having devoured the other party's origin and residual soul, naturally also obtained this supreme Dao scripture and many peerless great divine abilities.

The Chaos Devouring Dao Scripture, combined with the Chaos Devouring Body, perfectly complemented each other, rumored to be capable of devouring even the Boundless Chaos.

Devouring the Phoenix Nirvana Fire should be no problem.

However, the result struck terror into Jiang Xuan’s heart.

The Chaos Devouring Dao Scripture could devour the Phoenix Nirvana Fire, but it could not extinguish it.

The Phoenix Nirvana Fire, like an eternal, unextinguishable true fire, attached itself to his body, his divine soul, and his Dao fruit, burning fiercely.

It seemed as if it would never go out until it had completely consumed him.

“How could this be…?”

Jiang Zhiwei’s eyes were filled with disbelief, her heart shattered, her faith broken. She couldn't help but collapse.

In her mind, the Chaos Devouring Body had always been an invincible existence, capable of devouring the heavens and earth, and even the rules of Chaos.

The Chaos Devouring origin possessed infinite growth potential.

Luo Li’s Phoenix Nirvana Fire was merely one of the Three Thousand Great Daos of Chaos, not even comparable to the great dao she had proven, let alone Jiang Xuan’s Chaotic Great Dao.

Yet, the reality was that the Phoenix Nirvana Fire was crushing Jiang Xuan.

How could things be this way?

“So, it’s true that Daos have no high or low, strong or weak…” Jiang Zhiwei murmured, long-forgotten memories surfacing in her mind.

She once met an Old Scoundrel who spent his days gazing at the Boundless Chaos, lamenting, “Dao is not Dao, man is not man…”

Jiang Zhiwei, disliking the Old Scoundrel’s pretense, drew her sword, intending to kill him and send him to the animal realm, ensuring he would never be human again.

Who knew she would be easily defeated, shattering her Dao heart.

Even more terrifying was that this was merely a Dharma idol, a wisp of obsession, of the Old Scoundrel.

Jiang Zhiwei immediately knelt down, wanting to become his disciple, but was asked three questions that pierced her heart.

One of them was, what is the great dao?

Her answer, of course, was the Chaotic Great Dao.

Unexpectedly, the Old Scoundrel directly stated that she had no affinity with the great dao, and even audaciously claimed that Daos have no distinction of high or low, strong or weak; the supreme great dao is a Dao, and a minor Dao is also a Dao. Daos only have distinctions of level and realm.

Her realm was insufficient, her level was insufficient, her understanding too low, making her unworthy to be his disciple.

Jiang Zhiwei was furious.

She refused to accept it.

She was unwilling.

Yet, she had no way to deal with this Old Scoundrel.

Jiang Zhiwei always firmly believed that the Chaotic Great Dao was the most powerful great dao.

But now, seeing Luo Li’s eternal, unextinguishable true fire, her faith, accumulated over countless years, completely collapsed.

She wasn't blind.

She could naturally see that Luo Li’s Dao of Fire had already ascended to another level, which was the 'level and realm' the Old Scoundrel spoke of. It was no longer a simple flame, but a supreme great dao.

Then, the question arose.

If Jiang Xuan couldn’t even defeat Luo Li, could he defeat Gu Qing, who Luo Li herself admitted inferiority to?

Could Jiang Xuan still become a supreme existence?

What about her Jiang Family? What path should they take?

How should they face the glorious and brilliant great era?

“How can such monstrous talents exist in this world? How exactly did they comprehend the supreme great dao from minor daos? What should I do to break the limitations of the great dao and break through the realm levels…”

The more Jiang Zhiwei thought, the more her head ached, her brain feeling like it would split. Fine blue veins appeared on Jiang Zhiwei’s forehead, her expression both frantic and broken.

“Hiss~”

“This woman is terrifying to this extent!!!”

The many Heaven’s Chosen Dao Seeds watching from afar were stunned when they saw Luo Li, with her Dao Lord cultivation, defeat a Dao Lord.

However, when they clearly saw Jiang Xuan’s appearance, they were immediately taken aback.

“Is that… Jiang Xuan?”

Unsure, they looked again.

After all, Jiang Xuan only had a Heavenly Human cultivation, so how could he suddenly become a Dao Lord?

Believing Jiang Xuan was a Dao Lord was less believable than there being someone in this world identical to Jiang Xuan… Luo Li knew the principle of striking while the iron is hot. Even with Jiang Zhiwei watching, if she couldn’t kill Jiang Xuan, she still had to severely wound him as much as possible.

She was seen holding a long spear, transforming into a divine phoenix, burning with raging, unextinguishable true fire.

There were no majestic and dazzling divine ability phenomena; she was like a sharp sword, or a streak of light, compressing space and time. The world seemed to be left with only a single streak of light plummeting straight towards Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan’s eyelids twitched, sensing a great terror of life and death.

He didn’t think much, nor did he bother to suppress the Phoenix Nirvana Fire within his body, instead summoning an upper-grade Chaotic Spiritual Treasure pagoda.

At the same time, he unleashed the Grass Character Sword Art. A tender green sprout suddenly appeared in the void, its gentle green light flowing, emitting an utterly terrifying Opening Heaven Sword Intent.

Because he felt that his pagoda might not be able to defend against Luo Li’s divine ability, which was both extremely simple and extremely terrifying.

Things were as he expected: the streak of light blasted a crack in the pagoda, sending it flying. The streak of light, its power undiminished, then shattered the tender green sprout.

With a boom, the tender green sprout exploded, unleashing boundless Opening Heaven Sword Intent that surged into the divine phoenix, attempting to tear Luo Li apart.

However, after the Opening Heaven Sword Intent entered Luo Li’s body, it was incinerated by the Phoenix Nirvana Fire, and Luo Li reappeared in human form, completely unharmed.

It was precisely because of the Phoenix Nirvana Fire and her Myriad Tribulations Indestructible Body that she dared to abandon her defenses without hesitation and focus all her power on offense.

“The Chaos Devouring Body is nothing more than this.”

“With your meager strength, to say ‘seeing you is like seeing the clear sky’ is truly ignorant arrogance, not knowing your own limits,” Luo Li sneered.

Jiang Xuan’s Myriad Transformations of Chaos and Gu Qing’s had been noticed.

Jiang Xuan had, at most, only grasped a superficial understanding of the Myriad Transformations of Chaos.

She could kill Jiang Xuan even without Gu Qing’s intervention.

“You…”

Jiang Xuan remembered his earlier words and couldn't help but feel his face burning. He hadn't expected to be humiliated so quickly.

He had guessed Luo Li was strong, but he hadn't expected her to be *this* strong. He had no power to retaliate whatsoever.

Fortunately, Luo Li hadn't accepted his wager earlier, otherwise it wouldn't have been as simple as just being humiliated.

The more Jiang Xuan thought, the more his heart shattered.

He had worked so hard, he had even comprehended the Myriad Transformations of Chaos, yet how could he not even defeat an unknown Luo Li?

How many other powerhouses like Luo Li and Gu Qing were there in this world?

Even if he broke through to Dao Master perfection, could he be invincible in Chaos?

Jiang Xuan had always had an ultimate goal.

That was: “At the end of the great dao, who stands supreme? Upon seeing Jiang Xuan, the Dao becomes empty.”

However, now, this ultimate goal was like a bubble dream, popped.

“Useless. If you weren’t a Dao Child of the Jiang Family, I would have killed you today.”

Luo Li withdrew the Phoenix Nirvana Fire remaining on Jiang Xuan’s body.

Jiang Xuan couldn't devour the Phoenix Nirvana Fire, but that didn't mean he couldn't devour it with someone's help.

If Jiang Xuan devoured the Phoenix Nirvana Fire and comprehended the profound mystery of eternal indestructibility, it would be a huge loss.

“Boom~”

The aftershocks of their divine abilities landed in a certain void, immediately causing a layer of formation light curtain to rise.

Scattered Phoenix Nirvana Fire landed on the formation light curtain, instantly burning through an opening.

“Hmm?”

“Hiss~”

“This… what level of Chaotic Spiritual Treasure is this?”

The moment the formation shattered, everyone’s eyes widened, and they gasped.

They saw a divine axe, vast and boundless, its axe head obscuring half the sky, separating the cosmic void.

The axe handle resembled a divine pillar supporting heaven and earth, with profound great dao divine runes flowing upon it.

“Hiss~”

“Pain, pain, pain!!!”

Everyone glanced at the axe blade and immediately felt a divine axe cleaving their bodies and souls, their divine souls seemingly shredded, causing them unbearable agony.
