“Extraordinary, truly extraordinary.” Kong Youran couldn’t help but sigh with emotion when she witnessed this scene. Even though she recognized Chen Xi before the Dao Discussion began, she hadn’t paid any attention to him.
But who would have expected that such a fellow would actually create miracles repeatedly and arrive amongst the ranks of the top four now?
It wasn’t just Kong Youran, the hearts of all the other cultivators in the outside world couldn’t calm down at this moment. Because this disciple of Oracle Mountain that had risen to prominence just a few tens of years ago had truly exceeded their imagination.
…
The battle was still going on.
As he gazed at Chen Xi who constantly pressed down towards him, Donghuang Yinxuan’s expression was extraordinarily gloomy, and he was unable to maintain his composure any longer.
He spared no efforts and practically utilized everything he’d learned throughout his life to their limits. His entire body was enveloped by dense and blazing golden radiance, and it was dazzling to the extreme.
On the other hand, the Taixuan Codex in his hand was ceaselessly rumbling while he drew incessantly with the Dao Control Brush, causing row after row of dense, ancient, and mysterious Dao Markings to appear.
Every single Dao Marking possessed monstrous and terrifying might, and if they were utilized against an ordinary Universe Enlightened Ancestral G.o.d, then they would be sufficient to easily annihilate that Universe Enlightened Ancestral G.o.d.
However, at this moment, when they stood before Chen Xi’s attacks, all of these Dao Markings were ceaselessly slashed into pieces, turned into powder, and dispersed. They were utterly unable to harm Chen Xi at all.
Moreover, along with the pa.s.sage of time, Chen Xi’s combat strength seemed to grow even more fierce, and he seemed to reveal the force to destroying everything before him and obliterate the world.
This caused Donghuang Yinxuan’s expression to grow even more unsightly while a wisp of restlessness and rage couldn’t help but arise in his heart.
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I’m the dignified Eldest Powerseal Disciple of the Divine Inst.i.tute, the most outstanding genius amongst the direct line descendant of the Donghuang Clan, and I possess the Dark Dao Battle Physique. How could I possible be defeated by you!” Donghuang Yinxuan roared loudly while his eyes almost split apart from rage, and the flames of rage burned in his heart. He practically gritted his teeth as he exerted his strength to the limit and seemed as if he intended to go all out against Chen Xi.
He was unable to accept defeat, and he was absolutely unwilling to stop before the final battle!
Bang!
On the Dao Engraved Battlefield, rumbling resounded incessantly like thunderclaps that resounded through the sky and tidal waves that swept towards the surroundings. Divine radiance flowed throughout the surroundings while s.p.a.ce was thrown into disorder, and it caused the scene in the surroundings to be shocking to the extreme.
However, it was precisely under such circ.u.mstances that everyone could still clearly see Chen Xi’s tall figure advancing incessantly without being shaken or stopped at all, and he was like the sharpest blade that was destroying Donghuang Yinxuan’s line of defense.
At this moment, everyone was able to discern that if Donghuang Yinxuan didn’t possess a more formidable method of attack, then he would be bound to be unable to turn the situation around.
At this moment, he was like an insect that had fallen into the restraints of a spider’s web, and he was in imminent danger!
“How could this little fellow… be so formidable?” This time, Chi Song’zi hadn’t spoken, and it was Daolord Xuan Ming that couldn’t refrain from muttering to himself, and his voice carried a trace of bewilderment.
Even an extraordinary figure at the Daolord Realm was in such a state, and this clearly showed how heaven defying the combat strength Chen Xi revealed now was.
“The combat strengths of the disciples from my Oracle Mountain have always been not bad.” Wu Xuechan grinned.
“Hmph!” Xuan Ming was stunned, and then he grunted coldly and fell silent.
“Earlier, didn’t someone say that it would be very difficult for Chen Xi to enter the final battle?” Xue Ling seemed to have no intention of letting this opportunity to ridicule Xuan Ming slip by, and she spoke slowly. “In my opinion, Chen Xi won’t just be able to enter the final battle, the Myriad Dao Pearl will definitely be his as well.”
Even though she didn’t speak in a direct manner and say Chen Xi would be able to obtain the 1st, the meaning within her words was thoroughly exposed.
This caused Xuan Ming to frown, and his stiff and dignified face was suffused with a wisp of coldness. But in the end, he didn’t say anything.
“Haha, the outcome hasn’t been decided, so it’s too early to say anything. Fellow Daoist Xue Ling, don’t speak carelessly.” Xu Tuo laughed before he spoke with a low and hoa.r.s.e voice.
“It’ll be obvious whether I’m speaking carelessly once the Dao Discussion comes to an end.” Xue Ling remained indifferent and seemed very calm.
“I really look forward to that moment.” Xu Tuo puckered his shriveled lips while no fluctuations of emotion could be discerned from his muddy eyes.
…
On the Dao Engraved Battlefield.
Donghuang Yinxuan was in utter panic when he saw Chen Xi had already come close. He roared loudly as he utilized the Taixuan Codex to the limit, and it emanated a myriad of Dao Markings that condensed into a scripture. After that, he utilized the Dao Control Brush as a catalyst to make it crush down forcefully at Chen Xi.
“You still intend to struggle?” Chen Xi glanced at him before he struck simultaneously with the Banisher and Talisman Armament, causing two completely different arcs of sword qi to shoot out.
Bang!
The Dao Scripture was forcefully slashed into pieces, and it transformed into a rain of light that erupted into the surroundings and dispersed.
At practically the exact same moment, Donghuang Yinxuan suffered the backlash from this. His entire body seemed as if it had been struck by lightning, and he was suddenly blasted flying over 300m away while his peerlessly handsome face showed signs of warping.
“This is impossible!” Donghuang Yinxuan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of Blood Essence. It soaked the tip of the Dao Control Brush in his hand, causing it to become bright scarlet red in color and seem extremely horrifying.
Swoos.h.!.+
He drew repeatedly in midair with the Dao Control Brush, and it actually condensed into numerous blood red Dao Markings. Every single one of them seemed as if they’d been soaked in an ocean of blood, and they were filled with peerless destructive force.
“This kid actually didn’t hesitate to damage his own foundation!” Xuan Ming frowned.
“How terrifying! Transforming blood into the Dao. What does he intend to do?” Many cultivators in the outside world exclaimed with shock.
“This attack is sufficient to threaten an ordinary Imperial Monarch….” The hearts of many Imperial Monarchs shook as they acutely noticed how terrifying this attack from Donghuang Yinxuan was. It had even surpa.s.sed the might that a Universe Enlightened Ancestral G.o.d should possess!
“Variants are emerging into the world while the Grand Dao is collapsing. Only burial with my blood can save the world!” Amidst his loud shout that carried boundless rage, Donghuang Yinxuan’s eyes were bloodshot while he seemed as if he’d gone mad. He held the Dao Control Brush as he rose into the air, and then he swung it ferociously.
Rumble!
In an instant, a Dao Scripture formed from dense blood colored Dao Markings appeared in the sky. It dyed the sky blood red while the heavens and the earth resounded with the sorrowful howls of the sages and the furious roars of the Grand Dao. It surged through the heavens and the earth, and it caused the entire bodies of many cultivators in the outside world to tremble and almost fall to the ground.
This strike could be described as heaven defying!
Chen Xi’s eyes narrowed when he faced this attack. He suddenly took a deep breath while a wisp of an extremely shocking and deep cold glow arose in his eyes.
He actually put the Banisher away, whereas, the Talisman Armament replaced the Banisher’s position in his right hand, and it surged with terrifying Chaotic Qi.
Swoos.h.!.+
His right wrist shook, and then a cold glow erupted into appearance.
A wisp of sword qi that contained indescribable might flashed swiftly through the air and vanished.
The hearts of the cultivators in the outside world had become empty for no rhyme or reason. It was like they’d lose something, and it felt extremely uncomfortable to them.
But in merely an instant, all of these unusual feelings vanished without a trace.
After that, a scene that they could never forget started to appear within their fields of vision.
The blood red world was like a motionless painting and no longer had any sound. At this moment, it seemed like a blade of obliteration slashed through it at the center, and it sliced open a completely straight rift in this blood red world.
Donghuang Yinxuan resided at the end of the rift!
Everything was completely silent. There was no sound of collision, no sound of explosion, no rumbling created by divine radiance shooting into the surroundings, or the clamorous sound emanated after s.p.a.ce was thrown into disorder. It was terrifyingly deathly silent.
Bang!
After that, this motionless painting that had been sliced into two was broken, crushed into pieces, and transformed into powder, causing a strand of terrifying rumbling to resound.
It shocked most of the cultivators in the surroundings to the point their hearts trembled, and they were on the verge of coughing up blood. They felt extremely uncomfortable.
It shocked many great figures to the point their eyelids twitched while they revealed a wisp of astonishment on their faces.
It shocked the Daolords within Convergence Hall to the point their eyes narrowed, and they revealed all sorts of expressions.
Everything had transformed from an extreme motionless state to an extremely active state, and the shock created by this had arrived at an unprecedented height.
Most cultivators in the outside world had merely felt something flash before their eyes, and then the battlefield was enveloped by a vast expanse of white mist, causing them to be unable to see anything anymore.
Who exactly was defeated in this collision?
Many people were unable to distinguish the outcome. It was even to the extent that from the beginning until the end, they hadn’t been able to clearly witness the appearance of that strand of sword qi that Chen Xi had executed!
“He has lost.” Only within Convergence Hall did an emotional sigh resound, and it came from Xuan Ming.
…
In next to no time, the dust and dirt dispersed.
The battlefield returned to calm, and then everyone noticed that Chen Xi was standing with the Talisman Armament in his hand. His figure was tall, and he stood like a spear that would never bend.
On the other hand, Donghuang Yinxuan was seated on the ground not too far away from Chen Xi. His hair was disheveled, his countenance ghastly pale, and a trace of blood still hung from the corner of his mouth.
“I lost, I actually lose, and I lost at your hands….” At this moment, Donghuang Yinxuan seemed to be dazed. His eyes were l.u.s.terless while his voice even carried a sense of loss that he was unable to overcome.
After that, he sighed as he stood up. He glanced coldly at Chen Xi and said, “I’ll remember the humiliation I received today!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Chen Xi remained silent for a moment when facing this scene, and then he forcefully restrained the killing intent in his heart before he heaved a long sigh. He shook his head as he gazed at Donghuang Yinxuan’s disappearing figure, and then he turned around and left.
If it was at any ordinary time, then when he heard such threats that were filled with resolution, he would absolutely not hesitate to kill that person.
However, it was the Dao Discussion now, so he could only remember it in his heart.
He was clearly aware why Donghuang Yinxuan hated him. It wasn’t just because he’d spoiled the cooperation between the Shentu Clan and the Divine Inst.i.tute, it was mostly because he was a disciple of Oracle Mountain!
After all, it was common knowledge that the Oracle Mountain’s relations.h.i.+p with the Divine Inst.i.tute was just like its relations.h.i.+p with the Sovereign Sect. They were like fire and water.
…
“He won!”
“Chen Xi won again!”
“Inconceivable! Truly inconceivable! Such a heaven defying and peerless figure like Donghuang Yinxuan was actually not a match for this disciple of Oracle Mountain that had just risen to prominence a few tens of years ago, Chen Xi!”
“Did any of you see that final attack clearly? Exactly what sort of might did that sword strike contain? How could it have defeated Donghuang Yinxuan in one go? Isn’t this a little too inconceivable?”
“I don’t know. Perhaps only existences at the Imperial Monarch Realm would be able to discern something. After all, such a might of the Sword Dao isn’t something we can understand.”
“This Chen Xi really is an outstanding genius that’s impossible to see through. It seems like since he partic.i.p.ated in this Dao Discussion until now, there has never been anything he was unable to accomplish. It’s truly shocking.”
When they witnessed the end of this battle, all the cultivators in the outside world were unable to maintain their calm and composure any longer. They spoke clamorously while their voices were filled with exclaims of admiration.
At this moment, those amongst them who had close relations.h.i.+ps with Chen Xi like Tu Meng, Gu Yan, Shentu Yanran, Le Wuhen, Yuqiu Jing, and the others were excited and happy to the extreme, and they couldn’t refrain themselves from cheering.
The end of this battle also represented that Chen Xi had become the other existence that would enter into the final battle!
Moreover, it wouldn’t be long before the 1st would be born from between him and Leng Xinghun!
