Chapter 427 - Xuan Lao
The chilling murderous aura seeped into his bone marrow.
The sword light that was interweaving about in the sky was extremely sharp, and it caused people’s skin to feel a stinging pain. It felt as though the blood vessels in their bodies were about to be punctured, as though they could burst out at any moment.
After being baptized by the blue lightning tribulation, his entire body had been tempered and turned sparkling and translucent. His physical body had undergone a tremendous metamorphosis, comparable to a first transition Dou Xian, or even the second transition of his physical body. One must know that the strength of this special physique of the ‘Myriad Transformation Body’ was unparalleled.
According to what the greedy old man said, if one reached the realm of ‘Devouring Emperor’, then one would be able to use their physical body to fight against the supreme Dao Artifact, which was definitely not a lie. The reason why the ‘Boundless Body’ was so difficult to cultivate was because this kind of body was too terrifying, able to withstand all kinds of injuries.
Both Zang Gu Chen and Tian You Qing were at a much higher cultivation level than Xuanyuan, and they were also able to fight against this sword light. Even so, their faces were ugly.
“How could this be? Although we knew that this place would be dangerous, from the looks of it, it seemed as if they wanted to kill us. What should we do?” His face was not very pretty, and from the silver hair on top of his head, a powerful aura could be felt. The ‘Pulse of Love’ sword at his waist was unsheathed, and gave out a long cry.
“What else can we do?” Tian You Qing’s delicate face revealed a trace of madness as she viciously said:
“F * ck him!”
"Haha, that’s right, kill him! I want to see just how powerful ‘Rebirth’ is in the east region’s headquarters. Let’s have a big fight here today, hahaha! " An intoxicating smile appeared on his face as the corners of his lips curled upwards, but his eyes were suffused with a cold light that was enough to freeze someone. The ‘Pulse of Love’ in his hand vibrated, and suddenly, a thousand love threads shot out like a thousand snakes tearing through the air, seemingly sharp but containing an extremely soft mental state, swirling towards the sword beams that filled the sky.
At almost the same time, the terrifying sword light in the sky seemed to have received guidance as it tore down madly. Terrifying sword cries sounded out in unison, and the ear-piercing sound of wind piercing through the ears, causing one’s hair to stand on end.
The thousand strands of emotion were like a gentle wind as they swept up, revealing boundless, gentle Dou Qi. The thread of emotion was the most complicated thing in the world. The word emotion was a word that many ancient emperors found difficult to decipher.
The love threads that flowed all over the sky exuded a soft and gentle feeling, developing a kind of gentle dou qi. It was not sharp, but it was fatal. Xuanyuan deeply experienced the terror of such dexterous qi. It was simply a gentle killer, killing people without a trace.
When those sword lights came in contact with the Emotional Strings of Dou Qi, they couldn’t stop trying to deal with it. In the end, they were entangled by the endless Emotional threads of Dou Qi until they cracked inch by inch.
An ancient Buddha appeared behind him, looking solemn and dignified, exuding an aura of great compassion. Faintly, swastika characters began to appear on the surface of the ancient Buddha, although it was not clear, one could see the great power it contained.
The vast Buddhist Dou Qi surged out, and Tian Qing’s body was just like a golden cast. He punched out, and the swastika symbol on the ancient Buddha behind him floated for a moment, and the golden blood and Qi surged into the sky, causing the sword beams that were rushing down to kill the heavens to shatter.
Xuanyuan also did not show any sign of weakness. A silver dragon emerged from behind Xuanyuan and roared as it soared into the sky. The silver dragon coiled around Xuanyuan, looking as mighty as an immortal. Soon after, the image of a phoenix appeared.
Xuan Yuan proudly raised his head. One hand transformed into a silver dragon, while the other evolved into an immortal phoenix. They interweaved together and shot out in an instant. The silver dragon and immortal phoenix soared into the heavens as purple battle qi surged out, shaking the heavens and earth.
“Cry of the Dragons and the Phoenix!”
Wherever it went, the sword beam would be shattered. The ‘dragon and phoenix combined cry’ evolved into a taiji pattern that was formed from dragons and phoenixes intertwined, containing the highest principles of the Great Dao. It released a terrifying energy, which spread out, and the terrifying sword aura that was seeping down from the sky was shattered into pieces …
As the remnants of the battle qi dissipated, the sky turned tranquil and the killing intent that had been spreading all along vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed before. However, Xuanyuan, Zang Gu Chen, and Tian You Qing did not dare to slack off.
“Good, good, good. I didn’t expect the three of you to be such outstanding geniuses. After passing this trial of piercing the heart with ten thousand swords, you can now be considered qualified to enter my ‘Reincarnation’.” The cold, dry voice rang out once more, followed by a thumping sound. Xuanyuan Fang looked over and saw an old man bent over, each step trembling like a candle in the wind, ready to die at any moment, with a black walking stick in his hand, a black ring on his bony finger, and a face so wrinkled that it could pinch a fly to death, his eyes were almost covered with drooping eyelids, and the top of his head was protruding with only a few strands of hair left, revealing his yellow teeth, which made him especially unsightly to laugh.
Even so, Xuan Yuan and the rest did not dare to underestimate this old man.
“We sincerely came to ‘reincarnation’, is this how you welcome us?”
“Hehe, don’t be angry, young man. What a handsome young man. Tsk tsk, if I had been as handsome as you, I would have hooked up with that woman from the ‘Six Paths’ long ago. It wouldn’t have ended up like this all alone …” The old man’s voice was sinister, and it made Drunken Gu Chen feel a little uncomfortable. Goosebumps rose all over his body as he kept having the nagging feeling that this old man was up to no good.
"Sir, what did you mean by ‘training’ just now? Have we passed it yet? I hope that old sir can give us some pointers. After all, we are unfamiliar with Samsara, and upon arriving here, there are many things we don’t understand, and now that we have old sir, it is like giving us a beacon in the endless darkness, illuminating our path forward … " Tian You’s words were gentle and full of respect towards this old man. His manners were polite and polite, causing the old man to repeatedly nod his head in approval.
Xuan Yuan naturally knew in his heart that this should be a test of everyone’s strength within the ‘Reincarnation’. Not only did he want to test their strength, he also wanted to see what kind of supernatural ability they were cultivating! Thus, they began to make guesses about the powers behind everyone.
The divine power Xuanyuan Wentian displayed was the one he obtained after killing Yuan Tianlong. Although the divine power that Yuan Tianlong cultivated was rare, it was not unique. So, when Xuanyuan used it, it did not cause anyone to doubt him.
Hehe, not bad, not bad, you are the love of heaven, right? I think very highly of you, follow me. From today onwards, just follow me. The person who called himself Xuan Lao laughed hoarsely, giving off an indescribable eerie feeling.
“Thank you, Elder Xuan.” Tian You Qing bowed, while Xuan Yuan and Zang Gu Chen remained silent.
They all had one thing in common, and that was that after experiencing a long period of time, they would never be destroyed. One could imagine how terrifying the power of those who had attacked and reincarnated back then was, but since this place could still be passed on, one could see how terrifying the ‘Reincarnation’ truly was.
The black godly temple, on top of the huge rock it was piled up with, on top of it were carved small and thin words as well as mysterious runes, giving off the feeling that these runes were placed together because of them. These runes interweaved together, causing people to feel that the restrictive formation interweaved within was no small matter, clearly, if it was activated at a crucial moment, it would definitely deal a terrifying blow to the enemy.
Entering this tall and broad black temple, the group felt as if they had entered a massive black hole, as if they were being swallowed up. They felt as if the entire world was spinning around them, and from all directions, they could feel a ghastly aura, as if there was an extremely terrifying existence in the deepest parts of the temple that would cause anyone who looked into their hearts to feel fear and fear.
The sound of their footsteps could be heard clearly as they echoed in his ears, causing everyone to feel nervous. Xuanyuan Xinjian was as tough as iron and did not move at all. He had already seen the Great Emperor Ying Tian’s footsteps before, although the reincarnation cycle was powerful, it was not enough to intimidate him.
Along the way, Xuan Lao began to talk to Xuan Yuan and the others about the rules of the ‘Samsara’.
“Earlier, you entered to face the Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart, testing the reactions and personality of those who enter the cycle of reincarnation.” Earlier, you entered to face the Ten Thousand Swords Piercing the Heart, testing the reactions and nature of those who enter the cycle of reincarnation. Xuan Lao laughed.
“Your divine abilities are all very strange. I won’t ask where you came from, but from today on, you will be under my name. When your strengths become stronger than mine, I will let the elders of the earth generation lead you to continue cultivating …”
It turned out that Samsara was divided into the heaven and earth Profound and yellow elders, depending on their strength, every new disciple would be arranged for the elders to understand the essence of the assassinations, because the ‘Samsara’ was very mysterious, it was unable to be used to publicly teach and cultivate like the other immortal estates. In order to maintain the secret of ‘Samsara’, one could only verify the existence of the new disciples after passing a generation of elders.
They also finally understood why ‘Reincarnation’ had always been so mysterious, and why it dared to accept Heaven’s Pride from the outside world. Even if they knew that they would leave, their knowledge of it would be very limited because there were some things that even Xuan Lao did not know, because Xuan Lao was only an elder of the Xuan generation.
And in this temple that was like an endless abyss, they had passed down countless years of their life. It was unknown just how many restrictions were placed on this temple, or how many terrifying existences were watching them, so they were not afraid of anyone’s plans. Furthermore, even if they came here and left, they would still not know how to get here.
