Divine Brilliance

This was just too sudden. Not only was Zong Shou stunned on the spot, but the other few people on the altar were all stunned too.

Zong Shou saw it more clearly. Lin Xuanxuan’s whisk and hand exploded not because the enemy was stronger, but because the moment they clashed, she forcefully exploded and gave up.

“Daoxuan God Stealing Technique? Daoxuan Demon Lord? The Daoxuan Calamity of the past?”

Shen Yuexuan’s expression changed like he had thought about something really bad. Even someone as calm as him was shocked.

Su Xiaoxiao also exclaimed. She muttered with a lost expression, “Daoxuan Demon Lord, wasn’t he sealed? Why did Yuan Demon let him out?”

In her heart, she understood that the person had probably come here for that item…

The Daoxuan Calamity 6,000 years ago was not something that someone present apart from Lin Xuanxuan had gone through.

In that era, due to this Demon Lord, tens of thousands of Celestial Realm and above cultivators had died. The entire Cloud World was in a mess.

Even if the Demon Path couldn’t avoid it, the number of Demon Path experts who had died to his hands exceeded the number that Zong Shou killed by several times.

However, after all, it happened a few thousand years ago and the few of them didn’t go through, so there wasn’t much for them to fear.

However, for someone half a step into End Realm like Lin Xuanxuan to take such a huge loss and even lose one arm right away…

No matter how slow they were, they knew from the rumors that Daoxuan Demon Lord was scarily strong!

“Isn’t it Cultivator Fanmeng, Senior Lin Xuanxuan?”

Laughter rang out in their ears as a person stepped out.

He was around 20 and had a devilish face. His eyes were filled with a blue glow.

Below him were those million troops, but for some reason, they didn’t dare to attack that person.

The nearby generals gathered strength and they were wary of him like he was their enemy.

“You are asking to die!”

With Zong Shou’s Nine Hole Essence Stone buffing, Lin Xuanxuan’s arm grew. In just a few breaths, a new stem appeared.

Her face was ice-cold and filled with endless chill intent.

“No matter why you came, I suggest you leave! This world isn’t like it was 6,000 years ago. Xingya has fallen and Wushang Yuan Demon alone can’t protect you. If you don’t want to die, then scram!”

Daoxuan Demon Lord’s face turned green and then it recovered back to normal. He smiled, “So, according to you, I must rely on them to gain a footing in the world? How annoying… Common People’s Path has four End Realms now. Isn’t that really great?”

A fierce light flashed in his eyes and it suddenly swelled. The turtle shell’s spiritual light disappeared.

It actually fell into his hands. The demonic power around him formed into a dragon and reached out toward Lin Xuanxuan’s body.

Lin Xuanxuan didn’t dare to take it head-on. She flashed and dodged, shooting out several talismans.

However, the claw grabbed her and blood mist exploded out.

When Lin Xuanyuan appeared, she was several miles away.

Her expression was cold. Yet another arm had been broken.

The people on the altar took in a cold breath. They knew that the ability of the Daoxuan Demon Lord forced her to have to break her arm to love!

At this moment, Lin Xuanxuan seemed to be worried about them and said solemnly, “Don’t fight him. Daoxuan God Stealing! He can steal abilities and steal the mysteries of the flesh and blood. He can steal and pillage every item and skill in the world. Unless it is a Grade Twelve ability or God Treasure, it will be useless on him.”

Zong Shou only felt his heart turn ice-cold. He had read up about the technique and the Daoxuan Calamity that happened 6,000 years ago.

His ability was this: everything he touched, he could steal and make it one of his own.

This was why 6,000 years ago he stole souls and recruited many cultivators. He stole their abilities and used them as his own. He was really strong and caused chaos in the world.

This was why that ancient turtle shell fell into his hands. Lin Xuanxuan also had to forcefully break her body and cut off energy meridians. Only then could she avoid her soul from being stolen.

Shen Yuexuan didn’t know what to say, but 24 golden bamboo stems spread out around his body. Numerous five-colored lights shot out like a storm.

Yuan Wushang reached out and sucked the spiritual energy from these 10 miles.

“Eh? Five Element Extreme Needles, you are from the Mohist Faction? Interesting…”

Dao Xian’s brow rose up. Layers of light spread out from the turtle shell to block those thousands and tens of thousands of light.

He was unable to block and some needles shot in. However, he didn’t worry about this small number of them. Before he even did anything the needles had already fallen to the ground.

He casually played around with the artifact in his hand.

“What a treasure. It can even block the Five Element Extreme Needles that was said to be able to kill Saint Realm experts. It must be one of your Common People’s Path Sect Protecting Celestial Treasures? Just nicely, I’ve just broken out and lack items. I will gratefully accept it!”

He laughed coldly and said leisurely, “You really know my methods. However, since you know, you can only use it for self-harm. Before I broke free I swore a heart oath to kill this Great Gan Ruler for Li Biexue. I don’t care about the others. Are you confident in protecting him? If I were you, I would bring the others to escape as far as possible!”

Lin Xuanxuan took in a deep breath and bright light shone in her eyes.

As expected, he had come for Zong Shou! She had guessed it when they first clashed. However, at this moment, it was confirmed by Daoxuan.

Her lips curled up and her tone was filled with mocking intent, “Let me escape? You don’t have the skill! Do you really think that with the technique you are invincible in the world? His brother Aokun’s Existence and Destruction ability could destroy you! Do you really think that you can survive the attacks of the Lu Family and the five Common People’s Path End Realm experts? I advise you: rather than fulfilling the oath, why don’t think of a way to restrict the heart demon!”

Dao Han’s eyes squinted and then he broke into a laugh, “Sky Burning Lu Family, five End Realm Saint Venerables, is that very scary? Unfortunately, in this world there are people who aren’t afraid. You always said that I was crazy, I did things like a mad man, so how can my actions be judged through normal thinking?”

With a flash, that person appeared above the altar, less than 1,000 feet from Zong Shou. Yuan Wushang subconsciously stabbed out.

However, the moment he got close, he was forced to retreat. The spiritual energy in front of him exploded.

His hand also exploded, avoiding his soul from being in danger of being stolen.

However, his sword fell into Daoxuan’s hands. He was shocked but felt really fortunate. Thankfully, it wasn’t that half step God Treasure, otherwise, he would have felt really heart pained.

He explosively retreated and also forcefully stopped the jade puppet that was about to attack.

He knew that even if the puppet went all out it wouldn’t be able to harm him and might instead end up helping him.

That Daoxuan laughed out loud. He casually waved the sword he stole and slashed Chuxue’s Blood Moon Blade. Chuxue coughed up blood and was tossed aside.

“A God Weapon…”

He looked greedily at the blade and continued forwards.

Lin Xuanxuan’s face turned cold and he knew that Zong Shou was in huge danger. However, she didn’t panic.

She chanted out and light talismans formed around her body, gathering onto her newly formed arm.

She pointed out and it floated in an ethereal manner towards Daoxuan. However, mid-way, astral energy exploded out!

When the finger attacked, even Daoxuan had to take it seriously. He laughed, “Legend had it that Xi Zi had three Junior Sisters who were all beauties and he personally taught them. Xuanshuang learned the Source Life Breathing Art. Yuanjing learned the Spirit Changing Heaven Technique, Change technique, a whole variety of changes. Only you are the most mysterious and very few people knew about it. So, you actually studied the Pure Mixed Technique! What a waste… although it was Grade Twelve, it isn’t enough!

The sword slashed out, and with a loud explosion, it struck her finger.

With the sword, Lin Xuanxuan’s finger fell apart. The arm and also half a shoulder were sliced.

She stumbled and flew several thousand feet away.

Daoxuan was really calm as he walked in front of Zong Shou.

“Although I don’t know why Li Biexue wants to kill you, you must have something that he is tempted by! You hold a treasure, so after you die, just blame…”

He said it really simply as he slashed at Zong Shou’s neck.

Zong Shou’s face was sunken. Not only was he not afraid, but he also looked really focused.

The God Refined Sword in his hands also slashed out.

…One Origin Sword Beginning and End!

In despair, before death arrived, all the potential in his body was brought out.

It also pushed his sword technique to an unimaginable level.

Light and Darkness merged into one, Beginning and End were one body!

The moment the sword stabbed out, it was like one could see a God!

At that moment, the space for 10,000 feet around couldn’t be seen with the naked eye.

It was like a true Black and White Hole had formed above the sword body.

Daoxuan’s eyes lit up and a bright glow appeared in them. When the swords clashed, the sword in his hand collapsed.

Zong Shou flew back a hundred feet, spitting out large amounts of internal organs and blood.

Daoxuan praised, “Interesting, interesting. Your ability is even above that of mine!”
