Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 1108: 673 Chapter: Sword Technique_2

Looking at his opponent again, he remained calm and collected, his blue robe as radiant as jade, his sword stance solid and imposing, truly an unparalleled True Immortal.

“This…”

“The Yin-Yang Harmony Array?”

“Has he seen through it?”

“This man’s Taoist Cultivation and mastery over Formations…”

“Without an Imperial Arm to suppress the center, even with the Yin-Yang Harmony Array at tenth tier, it is still impossible to affect him!”

“Hehe Mountain… has no chance of winning!”

Looking at the Hehe Saint Master and his Daoist couple, who were forced to reveal themselves, the surrounding Immortals shook their heads and turned their gaze towards the people from the Great Profound Sect.

The battle was yet to be decided, but the outcome was already clear.

Xu Qingyang’s Taoist Cultivation and Formation expertise were profound and peerless, his understanding of the Yin Yang and Five Elements had reached a pinnacle, even while splitting a significant portion of his power to support his disciples outside the Formation, the strength he retained was still sufficient to navigate the array without being destroyed by the Yin Yang Great Mill.

Put simply, he had “unraveled” this Formation.

Previously, the reason he remained unmoving and withstood the force of the Yin Yang Great Mill was that he was using his body to decipher the principles and structure of the Yin Yang Harmony Array.

Now that the analysis was complete, everything laid bare, he no longer needed to resist the force of the Array Power. He could move freely within the array, even attacking its foundational nodes and the central hub, gradually breaking down this layered formation.

That Hehe Saint Master and his pair being forced out of the array was evidence of this.

As the situation developed to this point, unless Hehe Mountain could summon the lost Imperial Arm, the Yin Yang Harmony Map, there would no longer any suspense in this battle; defeat was only a matter of time.

The Immortals outside of the array could see this clearly, and the pair inside the array were well aware too, but with no place to retreat, Hehe Saint Master could only grit his teeth and change the array’s stance, while simultaneously using Divine Sense to seek help from outside.

But…

“Idle talks of a Cultivation visitor in the fairy garden, who says the sacred embryo forms on the spiritual platform, encountering this only leads to a rebirth of bones, then you realize the left path is no good match!”

In the midst of the Divine Sense transmission and the array’s change, a Taoist Man burst forth on his sword to the sound of a Daoist song.

“Boom!”

In an instant, the wind rose, clouds surged, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. Amidst the Chaos, a thunderous anomaly appeared following the Cultivator’s sword edge. A wave of calamity came crashing down on Hehe Saint Master and his Daoist couple, causing both of their complexions to drastically change.

“This…”

“How is this possible!?”

Hehe Saint Master’s pupils contracted, only to feel the Immortal Power inside his body boiling like a cauldron, his whole body unbearably hot, a sense of impending doom stronger even than the Ninefold Immortal Tribulation he had endured tens of thousands of years ago.

It wasn’t just him; even his Daoist couple, Hehe Saint Mother, a fellow True Immortal, felt the same.

“This is…?”

“Brother!!!”

Hehe Saint Mother’s complexion changed drastically as she let out an alarm, full of terror.

“Sister?!”

Hehe Saint Master’s expression changed instantly, and as he turned to look, he saw his Daoist couple trembling all over, pale as death, sweating profusely as if she were bearing unimaginable pressures.

This filled Hehe Saint Master with both shock and anger, and he quickly urged his Immortal Power, casting Yin-Yang Harmony, attempting to rescue his Daoist couple with the power of the Emperor Scripture.

But to his surprise, someone was faster than him. A Sword Light emerged, sweeping across the expanse, and in a blink, it slashed upon the body of Hehe Saint Mother under the shocked and angry gaze of Hehe Saint Master.

All of a sudden…

“Ah!!!”

A miserable scream, extremely tragic, Hehe Saint Mother was sent flying backward, a lacerating sword wound across her chest, from which five streams of Immortal Energy dispersed, and even more, three streams of Immortal Light burst through her Heavenly Spirit, revealing to all the True Immortal Taoist Result she had attained through great hardships.

The Three Flowers on the Crown and the Five Qi in the chest, fragments of the True Immortal Taoist Results spilled out before dissipating under the frightened and desperate gaze of Hehe Saint Master.

“Sister!!!”

“Ah!!!”

A roar and a wail.

Hehe Saint Mother, shorn of her Three Flowers and extinguished of her Five Qi, trembled as her hair instantly withered to ashes, falling down like dust, her skin became loose, withered, aged, devoid of any luster, only a thick sense of twilight remained, her eyes clouded over as if obscured by darkness…

In an instant, a body that was once immune to the heat and cold and transcended the mundane, was now drenched in sweat, filthy and extremely foul-smelling, rejected by both humans and gods, her eyes cloudy, her ears ringing continuously, her mind in a state of turmoil and confusion.

In just a moment, the beautifully enchanting and attractive Hehe Saint Mother was transformed into a decrepit old crone, withered and burdened beyond endurance.

“Sister!!!”

Hehe Saint Master arrived with a heartrending cry, hugging his Daoist couple tightly, desperately channeling immortal power into her, but to no avail. He could only watch, powerless, as her flesh and blood turned to ash, disappearing into nothingness.

“Ah!!!”

Such a sight caused the Hehe Saint Master’s eyes to nearly split open, with fresh blood gushing forth. Unable to care for anything else, he abruptly turned and looked at Xu Yang: “Demon Head, what evil skills have you cast to covertly harm my junior sister…”

Before he could finish, he was interrupted by a sharp gleam. The Five Colors Divine Light came slashing in every direction, piercing through the Saint Master’s body like a sword.

Caught off guard, the Hehe Saint Master was penetrated by five streams of Divine Light, stumbling backward. His hairpin fell into disarray, as his black hair withered in an instant, and he suffered from the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, becoming dizzy and disoriented, with ringing in his ears.

Xu Yang’s expression was cold and indifferent. Without uttering a word, he simply let loose the Sword Light, preparing to eliminate the roots after cutting the grass.

He had previously said that among True Immortals, he was invincible!

This was no baseless assertion. In the world of cultivation, progressing side by side, and ultimately, with his perfect merit as a True Immortal, his strength was beyond the assessment of ordinary Immortal Gods.

His cultivation, his realm, his grasp of the Way and its principles, of mana and its regulations, had reached the peak of perfection, divine transformation.

Not to mention anything else, just this “Positive and Negative Nine Forms Xuanyuan Sword Skills” alone was enough to make countless True Immortals bite the dust.

These Sword Skills weren’t just about sword moves but were actually a Sword Array. The positive doesn’t need much explanation; it’s the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, the original moves of the Nine Instruments Holy Method. On the other hand, the negative aspect is based on this, fused with the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, resulting in an innovated alternative Nine Forms Sword Array.

Regardless of whether it’s positive or negative, both are Sword Arrays, requiring an arrangement to be made to draw on the power of the heavens and earth, or even the collective will of the masses, to be activated. It is a method in which you borrow the sword from heaven, earth, and mankind.

But the current “Positive and Negative Nine Forms Xuanyuan Sword Skills” were an innovation where Xu Yang borrowed the sword from within himself.

Because he had ascended to True Immortal status, his cultivation, his realm, and his Taoist cultivation mana had all reached an extraordinary state. He could stand in for heaven and earth, for the hearts of billions, to wield this Xuanyuan Divine Sword, to use the Nine Instruments Holy Method.

Thus, he successfully transformed the Positive and Negative Nine Forms Sword Formation into the Positive and Negative Nine Forms Xuanyuan Sword Skills, which he unleashed in this Battle Fight.

Facing his Negative Nine Forms Xuanyuan Sword Skills, which integrated the logic of the Nine Bends Yellow River Formation, the least cultivated Hehe Saint Mother was the first to be breached, struck by his sword, losing the Three Flowers on the Crown and the Five Qi in the chest, dying and dissipating, turning to dust and smoke.

The remaining Hehe Saint Master, although slightly superior in cultivation, was not much stronger, also trapped in the jaws of death.

Xu Yang said nothing further, only unleashed the Divine Sword, intending to settle this battle.

But unexpectedly…

“Boom!!!”

A thunderous sound; heaven and earth trembled, as the forces of the Dragon and Tiger surged forth, instantly breaking into the Yin Yang Harmony Array, shielding the Hehe Saint Master, attempting to save his life.

But unexpectedly, the Five Colors Divine Light suddenly split apart, having anticipated this move, deftly avoiding the Dragon and Tiger’s energy and striking the Hehe Saint Master at the back.

“Pfft!”

A muffled sound, blood splattered, the Hehe Saint Master was struck by five swords, the Five Declines of Heaven and Man intensified in an instant, unable to let out even a single cry before he turned to ashes, with only his robes falling onto the mountainside.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Seeing this scene, silent death pervaded all around, leaving the Immortals voiceless.

Although the outcome of the battle was anticipated, such a result had not been expected.

Two great True Immortals, to die such a miserable death?

The Five Declines of Heaven and Man, their fruit of labor completely extinguished!

Their bodies dead, their Dao vanished, flesh and blood turned to dust!

Even with mental preparation, knowing this battle was out of the ordinary, and that it was very likely that True Immortals would perish, such a ghastly end was still hard for everyone to accept.

The onlookers were shocked, and even more so for the Great Profound Sect.

Within the scattered array power, the Dragon and Tiger qi returned to one person, a young man with white hair and an ethereal Taoist appearance.

“Great Profound Sect!”

“Dragon and Tiger True Monarch Zhang Dongting!”

“It’s actually him who has come?”

The Immortals’ eyes condensed, revealing various thoughts.

Glancing back at the array, Zhang Dongting, holding a horsetail whisk, glanced at the remnants of the Hehe Saint Master, who had turned from flesh to ashes and was left with only his clothes, then looked towards the pale and unsettled cultivators of Hehe Mountain, shook his head and sighed softly: “Why must you be so merciless, my Taoist friend?”

“Merciless?”

Xu Yang, with his hands behind his back, spoke out coldly: “They killed my disciple, harmed my followers, plotted against my Taoism, went so far as to torture for information, engaging in soul-searching and soul-snatching. These actions aren’t called merciless. Now that I return the favor, merely executing the mastermind, you come to me accusing of cruelty. Doesn’t such behavior disgrace the doorway of the Taoism?”
