Chapter 1145: Chapter 725: Withering (Part 4)

Eventually, slashing is not as powerful as a straight thrust. Aoba believes that a single thrust can definitely pierce through Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul.

Then, the Cyan Leaf Sword can employ the Transformation Rune Technique to twist and grind Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul into pieces.

Aoba is confident in her plan, but Gao Xuan can’t let her have her way.

Gao Xuan prefers to take a hit from Aoba, using his Divine Soul to forcefully block the Cyan Leaf Sword.

Otherwise, with the Cyan Leaf Sword as agile as divine, he can only passively take hits, completely unable to restrict the transformations of the Cyan Leaf Sword.

At this moment, Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul was resonating with his physical body, although the two were forcibly divided, his Innate Primordial Dao Body was not completely broken.

His Divine Soul could momentarily borrow some strength from the Primordial Golden Body of his physical body, which slightly hindered the Cyan Leaf Sword.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gao Xuan activated the Ice Soul Sword.

After slaying the North Sea Dragon Race, Gao Xuan comprehended the Ice Law, greatly enhancing the power of his Ice Soul Sword, making it his strongest killing move.

At this moment, Gao Xuan used his own Divine Soul as a sword to activate the Ice Soul Sword, the extremely cold and yin Ice Soul Sword Intent froze the Cyan Leaf Sword, even Aoba was frozen by the Ice Soul Sword Intent.

In an instant, Aoba’s Divine Soul was covered in a layer of white frost, frozen like an ice sculpture.

Aoba’s Divine Soul Consciousness was about to be frozen, she was momentarily dazed before realizing something was wrong.

Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul Power was strong and dominant, she couldn’t compete against Gao Xuan in this direct clash.

Aoba hurriedly urged the Cyan Leaf Sword, trying to pull back and adjust. But being frozen by the Ice Soul Sword Intent, her movements inevitably slowed by a beat.

The Cyan Leaf Sword’s cyan Sword Light surged, simultaneously shattering the layer of white frost over Aoba.

Just as Aoba was about to withdraw her sword, a black Long Spear pierced straight from behind Aoba.

This Long Spear was powerful and condense, its straight thrust carried a domineering force that could pierce through anything.

Aoba sensed the danger and tried to swing her sword to block, but she was a bit too slow. The black Long Spear suddenly pierced into her back, and the spear blade protruded two feet from her chest.

This spear strike was fierce and swift, severely injuring Aoba’s Divine Soul on the spot.

Although Aoba was a born Sword Spirit, she couldn’t withstand this, instinctively letting out a sharp scream.

Seizing this opportunity, Gao Xuan gripped Aoba’s sword edge with one hand, while his other right hand pressed on Aoba’s delicate little face.

Although using his palm, he harnessed the Netherworld Sword Intent within.

The Netherworld is the most filthy place between heaven and earth, containing the most formidable power of death and destruction.

Aoba’s screaming face, struck by Gao Xuan’s palm, immediately twisted and warped, and her pure and condense cyan Divine Soul was tarnished with a patch of deep, filthy yellow.

That deep yellow was like the earth that buried bodies, filled with yin energy and the scent of death.

Aoba’s twisting, warped face was contaminated by the deep yellow Sword Intent, which continued to expand and grow.

In a blink, most of Aoba’s Divine Soul had turned deep yellow, though she wasn’t dead yet, she displayed a strong aura of death and decay.

Aoba was unwilling to die like this, she continuously gathered Cyan Leaf Sword Intent to try to cleanse the Netherworld Sword Intent, but with her Divine Soul severely injured, she had no strength left to eradicate the Netherworld Sword.

Soon, Aoba couldn’t hold on, her body slumped into a puddle of deep yellow sludge, her face struggled to emerge within but eventually was completely assimilated by the deep yellow.

"What a pity."

Seeing Aoba’s Divine Soul thoroughly corroded by the Netherworld Sword Intent, Gao Xuan reached out a finger to retract the Netherworld Sword Intent.

Aoba’s Divine Soul was killed by the Netherworld Sword Intent, but without the contamination of the Netherworld Sword Intent, her Divine Soul Origin naturally condensed into a radiant Cyan Leaf Sword.

This is the Cyan Leaf Sword Spirit Origin Crystal. It just lacks vitality and spirituality.

Gao Xuan brushed his long sleeves, storing away the Cyan Leaf Sword.

Now he has no way to explore the memory within Aoba’s Divine Soul Crystal. Only after leaving the Ziwei Star Palace and throwing the Cyan Leaf Sword into the Endless Celestial Dragon Claw can he extract the desired information.

Gao Xuan is not in a hurry; he doesn’t concern himself with the Demon Sect. The most valuable aspect of Aoba is her Cyan Leaf Sword Technique.

Even now, Gao Xuan feels it was a bit of a pity.

The Swordsmanship had reached this realm, nearly akin to the Dao.

Although Aoba’s sword mastery was mostly innate, it was deserving of respect.

He could kill Aoba, firstly because of the Ice Soul Sword, and secondly due to the Thought Spear.

The Thought Spear condenses all Divine Soul Power into a spear, originally a secret technique of the Insect Race.

With Gao Xuan’s growing Cultivation, this simple Divine Soul Secret Technique was set aside.

Until just now, due to the special environment in Ziwei Star Palace, no other Divine Techniques or secret techniques could be used, Gao Xuan remembered the Thought Spear.

It’s very simple, but its power is proportional to the Divine Soul Power.

An innate Sword Spirit like Aoba, in terms of Divine Soul Power, fell far short compared to Gao Xuan.

At that time, Gao Xuan took a palm from the Ksitigarbha King, reincarnating for a thousand years, to refine a powerful Divine Soul. Based on his Divine Soul foundation, there were few in the Immortal Realm who could compare to him.

The Thought Spear could perfectly leverage his strengths. Of course, without the Ice Soul Sword first freezing Aoba, the Thought Spear couldn’t have pierced her.

Gao Xuan was quite satisfied with his performance during the battle.

He also had to admit that the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch had calculated well. Under normal circumstances, they had a great chance of success.

Gao Xuan reminded himself not to underestimate the many strong figures of the Cyan Celestial Realm; they all had some skills.

Gao Xuan directed his gaze to the nine-pointed projection of Ziwei Star, reflecting that the loss was not in vain; he must completely refine the Future Star Constellation Pearl.

Then he would use the Future Star Constellation Pearl to kill the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch, as a cycle of the Heavenly Dao!

Based on the Rune Secret Technique on the Future Star Constellation Pearl, it didn’t take long for Gao Xuan to have a projection of the Ziwei Star within his Divine Soul.

With this step accomplished, Gao Xuan naturally established a close connection with the Future Star Constellation Pearl, leaving his Divine Soul Brand at the core of the Future Star Constellation Pearl.

By this point, Gao Xuan had completely refined the Future Star Constellation Pearl, becoming its new master.

In the night sky, the Ziwei Star began to shine brilliantly, causing the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch, under the peach blossom trees, to slightly change expression, looking again at the calmly seated Aoba, whose body had already been stained with a deep yellow.

This deep yellow was filled with intense decay and death power, the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch’s purple pupils sparked with electricity, trying to discern the source of this power.

Aoba’s body had already been corroded into a puddle of turbid yellow water. This puddle soaked into the ground, causing nearby peach blossoms to immediately wilt and wither. Then, the entire peach tree was corroded into mud.

Dozens of acres of blooming peach blossoms, forming a sea of flowers, withered successively, all peach trees progressively decaying, collapsing, and rotting into mud.

The bloom turning to decay, all in a moment.

The Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch looked at the forest, reduced to a swamp of rotten sludge, with disbelief in his eyes.

The peach forest wasn’t significant, but Aoba was clearly dead!

Each Celestial Mandate child is favored by the Immortal Realm’s destiny, how could Aoba die so easily?

The Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch couldn’t fathom the changes, but he knew he had to leave Celestial Dragon Island, as far away as possible.

If he hesitated a moment, he would end up like this peach forest, turned into a swamp of mud!
