Chapter 316: Chapter 290 Law of Heaven and Earth! (4K)_2
“Indeed, it’s the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art, but it seems you’ve embarked on a slightly different path, subtly distinct from the orthodox Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art,”
The Xuanyin Elder, leaning on his cane, arrived at the dueling ground and recognized Xia Ningxue’s cultivation technique.
Xia Ningxue’s eyebrows knit together, wondering why an ascetic from Dan State like the Xuanyin Elder knew about the Inquiry Immortal Pavilion’s Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art.
“Please enlighten me,”
Xia Ningxue called forth the Immortal Slaying Sword.
The moment the Immortal Slaying Sword appeared, the surrounding mountains crumbled, and a murderous aura boiled over!
Xia Ningxue knew her opponent was a peerless enemy, so she didn’t hold back, immediately using the nameless sword technique of the Qingxia Ancient Cave!
With boundless killing intent and formidable pressure, the Immortal Slaying Sword thrust toward the Xuanyin Elder.
The chill from the Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art froze the space around the Xuanyin Elder into ice, hindering his movements.
“This Immortal Sword surpasses Immortal Artifacts; pity you cannot unleash its full might,”
“The swordsmanship you use, it’s truly nostalgic,”
Yet, the Xuanyin Elder was undaunted by Xia Ningxue’s technique and swordsmanship, instead he offered his critique as if judging a bout.
As the Immortal Slaying Sword stabbed forward, the Xuanyin Elder, the next instant, appeared several miles away, evading the blade’s radiance.
The icy chill produced by Xia Ningxue’s Supreme Forgetting Emotion Art failed to confine his movements.
“Space Law?!”
All the cultivators present knew that those who mastered the Space Law were extremely troublesome to deal with.
With his deviously diverse cultivation techniques and extensive combat experience, the Xuanyin Elder proved to be a difficult opponent for Xia Ningxue to harm.
Xia Ningxue’s eyebrows lifted, as her left hand was already clasping a Spatial Talisman, pinpointing the Xuanyin Elder.
Having cultivated for seven hundred years in a space with Lu Changsheng, where they frequently sparred, Xia Ningxue had a wealth of combat experience. Furthermore, Lu Changsheng had gifted her a batch of Elixir Pills and Talismans.
The Spatial Talisman turned to ashes, and Xia Ningxue had already reached the sky above the Xuanyin Elder, her hands grasping the Immortal Slaying Sword as copious True Qi poured into it.
The Immortal Slaying Sword, with its endless killing intent and chill, slashed toward the Xuanyin Elder!
Boom!
The brilliant Sword Qi of the Immortal Slaying Sword shattered everything in its path, the fissures spreading across the land and the force of the impact reaching a hundred meters high!
“Fairy Xia’s experience and swordsmanship are quite astonishing,”
“Her swordsmanship probably surpasses the Sect Master of Thousand Swords Manor and is second only to the Sect Leader of Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng,”
Powerhouses from the various domains whispered among themselves in private.
After her rigorous seven-hundred-year training session in the cultivation space, Xia Ningxue’s abilities had advanced by leaps and bounds. Although her realm had not reached the ninth layer of the Unity Realm, she already possessed the strength of its pinnacle, having defeated the Sect Master of the Dragon Tiger Sect with her sword.
Sun Jian’s face turned ashen.
Ever since his defeat by Lu Changsheng, his reputation had plummeted, and he was often compared with other strong fighters.
Worse yet, Sun Jian couldn’t refute it.
Indeed, whether it was Wu Yue or Xia Ningxue, both were truly stronger than him, Sun Jian.
“Did she succeed in defeating him?”
With bated breath, Zeng Yeqiu, Xiao Meng’er, and the other Elders of Inquiry Immortal Pavilion anxiously watched the outcome of the battle.
If Xia Ningxue’s earth-shattering sword could strike true, then she indeed had a chance to defeat the Xuanyin Elder in one blow.
Lu Changsheng and Monk Wu Le, two Unity Realm powerhouses, remained with furrowed brows and no sign of relief.
The Xuanyin Elder was certainly not so easily defeated.
Suddenly, a dark shadow burst from the dust and hovered in midair.
Half of the Xuanyin Elder’s body had been torn asunder by the lethal aura of the Immortal Slaying Sword, a ghastly sight to behold.
However, the Xuanyin Elder appeared unfazed.
“Ha!”
With a low roar from the Xuanyin Elder, immense True Qi mended his injured body. Like a lizard regrowing its tail, he was made whole again.
“Hiss…”
The scalp of every powerhouse from the major sects present tingled.
The Xuanyin Elder not only possessed profound cultivation but also an astonishing ability to preserve his own life.
Having been struck by the Immortal Slaying Sword, he still appeared completely unharmed.
“This is… the Immortal Divine Art!”
Lu Changsheng, who also cultivated the Immortal Divine Art, recognized the technique the Xuanyin Elder practiced.
Lu Changsheng had not expected the Xuanyin Elder to have also cultivated a superior Immortal Realm cultivation technique, “Immortal Divine Art.”
The Xuanyin Elder was proficient in numerous cultivation techniques, far beyond Lu Changsheng’s expectations.
“Let me show you what a real Sacred Tier cultivation technique looks like.”
The Xuanyin Elder exuded an overwhelming dark aura, a suffocating presence enveloping the area, causing the ground where Xia Ningxue stood to collapse.
“Law of Heaven and Earth!”
The body of the Xuanyin Elder rapidly grew in height, reaching tens of thousands of feet, eclipsing the sun and sky.
The Xuanyin Elder had a green face and fangs with crimson hair, resembling a demon god.
Countless cultivators were moved and greatly shocked.
The divine skills of the Xuanyin Elder had surpassed those of this realm!
The Great Crushing Heaven Palm of Wu Yue could only partially realize the Law of Heaven and Earth, but the Xuanyin Elder’s divine skills surpassed Wu Yue’s Palm.
“Such cultivation techniques should not exist in this realm. Could it be that this Xuanyin Elder…”
Lu Changsheng had already guessed the Xuanyin Elder’s origins, and his face turned even grimmer.
The Xuanyin Elder had made his move, and the force of his palm plunged the world into darkness, with the power to destroy heaven and earth.
Once the Xuanyin Elder used his divine skills, even those on the viewing platform felt the threat.
The Four Rams Divine Honour Formation protecting the viewing platform might not withstand the Xuanyin Elder’s attack.
Xia Ningxue’s delicate frame appeared insignificant in the face of the Xuanyin Elder’s towering Law of Heaven and Earth.
Xia Ningxue faced the Law of Heaven and Earth head-on, wielding the Immortal Slaying Sword by herself.
“Insignificant ant, under the palm of this sovereign being, turn to ashes!”
Enhanced by the divine power of the Law of Heaven and Earth, the Xuanyin Elder’s palm force increased a thousandfold, sealing off the space and covering such a wide area that Xia Ningxue had nowhere to escape.
Under the terrifying divine skill of the Xuanyin Elder, Xia Ningxue’s stunning face showed despair.
Although the Xuanyin Elder was only at the ninth layer of the Unity Realm in terms of cultivation, his insights into the Dao far surpassed that of the Unity Realm!
Xia Ningxue stood no chance of victory and might even be killed!
“She’s no match for the Xuanyin Elder and could very well perish.”
“The Xuanyin Elder is too ruthless, either aiming to cripple the opponent’s cultivation or to kill them outright.”
The faces of those present changed.
The Xuanyin Elder was extremely ferocious and had profound cultivation, leaving the people powerless against him.
Among the entourage from Mount Shu, Lu Changsheng transformed into a shadow and rushed out, disregarding the rules, arriving beside Xia Ningxue.
With her lack of defensive measures and relying solely on her own skills, Xia Ningxue would certainly perish under the attack of the Xuanyin Elder.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was summoned, emitting ten thousand zhang of golden light and forcefully taking the hit of the Xuanyin Elder’s Law of Heaven and Earth on Xia Ningxue’s behalf.
The Xuanyin Palm Force was destroying the golden light of the Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda, shattering it inch by inch.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda trembled violently.
The Heavenly Earth Mystical Yellow Exquisite Pagoda had grown to a ten-layered golden tower, yet still could not withstand the Law of Heaven and Earth divine skill of the Xuanyin Elder.
Lu Changsheng channeled the superior Immortal Realm cultivation technique “Golden Bell Shield” to block the remaining palm force.
Gang Qi formed a faint golden bell shape, stoutly neutralizing the Xuanyin Palm Force.
Xia Ningxue, using an unnamed sword technique, alongside Lu Changsheng, together withstood the opponent’s attack.
Even so, both of them were forced to retreat hundreds of steps.
“Oh? Your cultivation is beyond my expectations, actually withstanding a strike of my Law of Heaven and Earth divine skill. I am somewhat looking forward to crossing hands with you now.”
The Xuanyin Elder did not continue attacking and returned to his original form, leaning on a walking stick, and said to the Supreme Elder of the Star Pavilion managing the Zhong Zhou convention, “The other party intervened during the match, breaking the rules. You can declare the winner now.”
“Yes, the winner of this contest is Xuanyin Elder from Profound Heaven Sect. Sect Leader of Mount Shu and Sect Master of Profound Heaven Sect will enter the final tenth round of the contest.”
The Supreme Elder of Star Pavilion was very displeased with the Xuanyin Elder for injuring their Pavilion Master, but rules were rules, and ultimately it was Lu Changsheng and the Xuanyin Elder who would compete for the title of the Zhong Zhou convention.
“I am no match for him, his strength far exceeds my imagination.”
Xia Ningxue’s expression was gloomy.
With her talent, under normal circumstances, there was a chance to meet Lu Changsheng in the finals. It was just that she encountered the Xuanyin Elder of unknown origin.
“If my guess is correct, this Xuanyin Elder has been body-snatched, and the one who has taken him over is likely Luo Feng, or to be precise, that Heretic Cultivator from the Immortal Realm.”
Lu Changsheng’s eyes flashed with a glint of sharpness.
The Law of Heaven and Earth divine skill possessed by the Xuanyin Elder had already exceeded the bounds of this realm, and it was impossible for Profound Heaven Sect to attain such a technique with their resources.
The feeling the Xuanyin Elder gave Lu Changsheng was somewhat similar to the mighty beings from the Immortal Realm he had encountered on Penglai Immortal Island.
