My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1399 - 507: Deadly Struggle (Part 2)
Divine manifestation!
His primordial spirit slowly drew a giant sword from the magma, then followed by his physical body, both smashing toward the primordial spirit of the Kunxu Patriarch.
From the center of Xuanqiongzi's forehead, a silver needle shot forth. The seemingly hair-thin silver needle collided with the giant sword without any retreat.
His physical body was simultaneously wielding the Taiyi Sword, repeatedly clashing with the Longdan Bright Silver Spear.
Stalemate continued for more than twenty rounds.
The situation finally changed noticeably.
Xuanqiongzi's aging body could no longer maintain such high-intensity combat, as his mana and primordial spirit were burning under the Heavenly Fire Domain, sliding into a noticeable decline.
Finally.
He exposed a flaw.
Chen Sansi seized the moment, stomping his foot, causing magma to erupt from the sea of fire, transforming into flying snakes that coiled around the Taiyi Sword Edge and the silver needle tip, temporarily obscuring their spirit light.
"Clang—"
This time.
The Taiyi Sword failed to block the long spear and flew out of his grasp.
The spear transformed into a flame dragon, biting onto Xuanqiongzi's shoulder.
"Buzz!"
The Kunxu Patriarch was wrapped in a golden light.
The flame dragon bit down, emitting "crack crack" sounds, as if gnawing on a piece of metal.
Finally...
The golden light melted.
The flame dragon's massive jaws struck.
A burst of blood erupted from Xuanqiongzi's body, his aging form flying backward, heavily crashing into a charred colossal stone.
He opened his mouth, swallowed two elixir pills, and formed a mantra with both hands to perform healing divine power, allowing the wound to heal visibly, though his complexion turned pale.
This child...
The primordial spirit was never weak.
After breaking through divine intention, it reached a new level.
And in this domain, it was the opponent's ground.
Comparing mana and primordial spirit alone, the opponent was no weaker than him.
Moreover, he was elderly and nearing the end of his lifespan.
Dragging this on...
This old man might truly lose to the young man before him!
This was not just about life and death between two individuals.
It was about the life and death of the entire Heavenly Water and all Human Race cultivators!
Absurd!
At such a juncture, Xuanqiongzi suddenly laughed silently.
He had cultivated painstakingly for more than two millennia, yet had not ascended, only to guard the mortal world and prepare for the Unity Realm stage—not due to insufficient strength.
On the contrary.
He was the true foremost cultivator of the Human World.
Today, if he truly lost to a mere youngster.
Even if he survived to ascend, his Daoist heart would shatter completely!
All along.
To conserve resources and extend his lifespan as much as possible, he rarely appeared, seldom revealing his presence—even when Lord Taishan invaded the mountain, he only used the sect's Daoist spirit to resist.
Yet now, it seemed his old bones must fight like he did when he was young.
More than two thousand years!
Though Tian Wu child had weathered merely a hundred years of trials and tribulations, how could it compare to his more than two millennia of countless life-and-death struggles?
His title as the foremost cultivator of the Human World was not bestowed by birth.
It was earned step by step through cultivation!
This child may have indomitable will, but Xuanqiongzi too possesses an unyielding Daoist spirit!
Xuanqiongzi's entire aura suddenly became ethereal and dangerous.
He raised his hands slowly, not forming a mantra, but as if lifting a piece of the sky, he raised the entire world high!
An indescribable pressure and aura of slaughter spread, causing the entire Heavenly Fire Domain's roiling dark red sea of fire to stagnate.
"I, Xuanqiong, inherit the Immortal Palace Daoist Inheritance, command the Circulation of Stars, with a thousand years of freedom..."
He murmured quietly, each word stirred resonance in the void, behind him subtly appearing the phantom of an immense star sea, star rivers flowing, Immortal Palaces rising and falling, an atmosphere of supreme immortal grace!
Meanwhile.
Outside the domain, the entire Kunxu Saint Sect began to shake.
A colossal armored giant rose from the ground.
The sect's Dao spirit!
But...
After the Dao spirit appeared, it did not go to assist the patriarch but instead emitted a painful struggle.
Overhead. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂
A golden vortex appeared.
As if extracting life force, causing the Dao Spirit unbearable pain.
After a few breaths.
A stream of colorful light shot out from the top of the Dao Spirit's head, merging into the golden vortex.
The massive body of the Dao Spirit then collapsed with a boom!
Immediately after.
One stream of spirit light after another erupted from the seventy-two peaks, also being swept into the golden vortex.
The sect's fate!
The golden vortex quickly transformed into a giant golden sword, which fell, tearing apart the Heavenly Fire Domain, breaking into the battlefield, and then descending from the sky!
Xuan Qiong held his ground, allowing this giant sword to pierce through his body!
Taiyi Secret Technique, Immortal Falling Tribulation!
After absorbing the sect's fate and the Dao Spirit's origin transforming into the giant sword, the elder's body began to undergo a terrifying mutation.
Beneath his skin, there was no longer blood, flesh, or bones, but a viscous, golden-flame-burning jade marrow nectar, with golden Dao patterns spurting out from his seven orifices.
His entire body resembled a glazed immortal statue, emitting the power of laws, creating a piece of pure land at his feet, which continuously expanded, dispersing the raging sea of fire.
Finally.
It split the entire domain in two.
Half a purgatory of fire, half a magic sea of golden light!
"Clang clang—"
The seventy-two Taiyi Flying Swords, quenched in the flames, transformed into a three-foot-long golden divine sword, appearing unremarkable yet emanating a terrifying law pressure.
Xuan Qiong made his move.
He seemingly turned into a ray of golden light, moving with unimaginable speed.
"Bang!"
Chen Sansi instinctively blocked.
And then his entire being, along with the entire Heavenly Fire Domain, suffered a heavy blow, sending his body flying backward, with the Taia Sword embedding into the lava, leaving a massive trench.
Before he could lift his head.
Xuan Qiong attacked again.
"A mere century of cultivation!"
"How can you compare to my two thousand years of painstaking cultivation!!!"
"Boom boom boom—"
The ancestor of Kunxu, in a berserk state, launched frenzied attacks.
Chen Sansi was once again suppressed, almost to the point of being unable to retaliate!
After all, the first cultivator of the Human World, being two small realms higher, was truly extraordinary.
The advantage he had gained through Nirvana vanished in an instant.
Fortunately...
He had one last resort!
Immortal Treasure Strange Fire!
After Divinity Transformation, Chen Sansi was already able to briefly control the Immortal Fire. Now, after breaking through God's Will, he was greatly enhanced in all aspects and should be able to control the Immortal Fire!
Although...
It would be very difficult!
And could even cause irreversible backlash to himself.
But no matter the pain he endured, as long as he could win and survive, once God's Will recovered, he could undergo Nirvana again to heal his injuries.
Thinking so...
Chen Sansi did not hesitate.
Gu insects flew out from his chest, densely arranged in mid-air.
One of them exploded.
Crimson flames instantly ignited the rest of the Gu insects.
The numerous Gu insects started to burn, turning into a meteor shower-like descent into the domain's sea of fire, transforming the entire sea into a sea of Immortal Fire!
Within the domain, the temperature soared several times higher!
"What?!"
Xuan Qiong understood that the opponent intended to perish together!
Where would he find the opportunity, his attack speed increased, but it was already too late.
In the sea of Immortal Fire.
Chen Sansi used Swallowing Fire Technique, allowing the crimson flames to drill strand by strand into his body.
The terrifying burning pain hit him, and he felt his blood almost dry up in an instant, with the smell of scorched flesh in the air, even his bones turning to charcoal!
Fortunately...
With the cultivation of the Swallowing Fire Technique combined with the Fire Breathing Technique, even the domain of divine intent was a Nirvana, providing a natural resistance to flames.
His physical body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, forcibly sealing the Immortal Fire in his Dantian for his own use!
When Chen Sansi stood up again from the sea of fire, his features were already blurred, his whole being resembling nothing but a human skin filled with rolling magma, appearing like a human skin lantern carrying flames!
As if he was no longer a living person, but a purely fire law-crafted anthropomorphic god of death!
