Chapter 402 A Thousand Miles of Clear Light

"Well said, this is indeed a great change unseen in two thousand years, otherwise I wouldn't have appeared before you."

Ji Xiang praised Chen Taichu in a pretentious manner.

You've done well, you've said everything I wasn't quite clear about.

Now I understand completely.

You can die now.

Ascension Realm Second Divine Power, Divine Sword Formation!

A total of seven swords manifested!

While Chen Taichu was observing the Heavenly Mandates and being constantly interrupted by the Imperial Heaven's Retribution from chanting scriptures, Ji Xiang had already condensed the Divine Swords for battle. At this moment, the Divine Swords were released, arriving in an instant. However, although Chen Taichu had fallen from the level of an immortal, his divine powers could still be unleashed!

Divine sword against divine sword. Comparing a banished immortal with a crippled immortal, the banished immortal is ultimately stronger!

"Weakened, but weakened only to a limited extent."

The divine sword launched by Ji Xiang was offset by the sword light manifesting between the other party's eyebrows. However, due to being reduced to a banished immortal and his Dao heart broken, his divine sword could no longer be launched instantaneously like a normal Ascension Realm cultivator.

There was a process of brewing; this was the sign of falling from the level of an immortal.

Chen Taichu was somewhat agitated, while Ji Xiang's heart was as clear as a mirror.

A crippled immortal is certainly not as good as a banished immortal, but a crippled immortal will become stronger and stronger, while a banished immortal will become weaker and weaker. As time goes on, this gap will narrow more and more.

Moreover, the weakening speed of a banished immortal is almost immediately apparent.

"Ugh!"

Chen Taichu uttered a painful sound. He used the divine power of ascension, but no longer possessed the mana and state of mind matching the immortal level. In addition, the tribulation of his Dao heart's regression had not yet ended. As long as Ji Xiang was alive, the tribulation still existed!

Therefore, his act of forcibly condensing the divine sword caused his already damaged Dao heart to shatter even more severely, even faintly producing a secondary regression!

In the past, a Buddhist bodhisattva had regressed in his Dao heart six times, dying on the seventh, but throughout history, only this bodhisattva dared to do so, or rather, achieved the miracle of being able to re-cultivate after six regressions.

Ji Xiang seized the opportunity to strike with the Three Capitals Seal!

"Let me see, the guide for the Inner Vision Divine Tablet mentions some important spells, but Ascension Realm divine powers can only be avoided with escape techniques, or confronted head-on with similar divine powers. There aren't any particularly convenient solutions..."

The Three Capitals Seal was smashed out, and Chen Taichu shattered it with the divine power of Crushing the Void, scattering the Three Powers Qi in all directions. This greatly surprised Ji Xiang. Thinking about his own Crushing the Void, there was no way he could shatter the Three Capitals Seal like that. As expected, the crippled immortal was still far behind this guy in the application of ascension divine powers.

Chen Taichu was also apprehensive. Ji Xiang had just launched a series of divine swords. If he hadn't retained a trace of his mind, he would have been pierced through the heart by the seven swords in an instant!

"Crippled immortal, do you really think I can be bullied!"

Chen Taichu rebuked, "Although I have fallen from the immortal realm, I am still stronger than Pure Yang. With physical strength alone, I can crush your tiny Earth Immortal body!"

"Moreover, I still have tens of thousands of Yang God incarnations!"

"You can't use them."

Ji Xiang suddenly spoke, puncturing Chen Taichu's words.

"You're bluffing. Your condition wasn't very good to begin with, and you left all your Yang God incarnations in the Jade Dragon Taoist Temple."

Chen Taichu was horrified.

How did this crippled immortal know his situation?

"Are you wondering how I know your situation?"

"Why not ask the people you've met."

Ji Xiang also gave Chen Taichu a smokescreen. In fact, this situation was displayed by the Inner Vision Divine Tablet.

The fact that the other party didn't have Yang God incarnations was the basis for Ji Xiang's immediate action.

Yang God incarnations are not only for immortals to use, but can be used at the Primordial Spirit level. Above the Primordial Spirit is one to four incarnations. There won't be much increase until the Refine Spirit Realm, but once the Solar Refinement is completed and one advances to the Pure Yang Realm, there will be eighty-four thousand Yang God incarnations!

To deal with someone in the Pure Yang Realm, one must not only deal with his main body, but also with these eighty-four thousand Yang God incarnations.

Therefore, when the Shangqing Sect Mountain Lord suddenly disappeared, Ji Xiang thought that it was impossible for him to have been killed. It was a joke. A person in the Pure Yang Realm was an army in himself. Even just one person in the Pure Yang Realm was enough to establish a sect. No matter how many people came from below the Pure Yang Realm, it would be useless.

Chen Taichu gritted his teeth, but it was no use regretting it now!

Because Ji Xiang had already launched an attack!

The Three Capitals Seal was pressed down on his face, with great momentum, but it was not very murderous. Chen Taichu didn't know what Ji Xiang was doing, but none of this had anything to do with him!

Was he still daring to treat himself with a cat-and-mouse mentality?

A mere crippled immortal was nothing more than a demonic tribulation!

Tribulations are for people to overcome!

"The Heavenly Gang of the Sun and Moon, in the human body, are the left eye, the right eye, and the space between the eyebrows. Congenital divine beings all have three eyes, such as Doumu Lei Zu..."

He began to use immortal spells!

Taiyi Immortal Arts!

Chen Taichu's two eyes transformed into the sun and moon respectively. This was an extremely powerful immortal spell, capable of manipulating the splendor of the heavens and earth, and condensing the essence of the sun and moon. The Yin and Yang Qi of the object struck would be instantly separated. For ghosts and demons, it was an extremely restrained immortal law!

"Since it is a tribulation, there is a technique to overcome it!"

Ji Xiang's eyes lit up slightly. If Chen Taichu continued to use divine powers to clash head-on, he might still be able to gain a slight advantage. Now that he was using spells, the outcome was no longer up to him.

"But if the tribulation is not overcome, then there is only death and the dissolution of the Dao!"

Ji Xiang opened his mouth and recited a passage of scripture: "When the furnace is completed, a single Yang arises, and pure Yin is complete. The two Qi of heaven and earth are divided into north and south, Yin and Yang take their positions, grasping the sun and moon in the middle!"

This time, the scriptures recited and the spells cast were not to eliminate the other party's immortal law.

It was seen that the Stellar Qi of the Sun and Moon had just condensed on Ji Xiang's body, and in an instant, it separated, without taking away half a point of the Yin and Yang Qi in his body, and the purple-gold elixir in Ji Xiang's body suddenly shone brightly and began to rotate!

"The Golden Elixir corresponds to the profound phenomena of the sun and moon, the dragon and tiger rise and fall, the water and fire are used, obtaining the proper signs of the four seasons!"

Thanks to the power of the purple-gold elixir, Ji Xiang was able to maximize the power of these immortal arts that he had never learned before. Even if it was just a small section of certain immortal scriptures given by the Blank Divine Tablet, under the blessing of the purple-gold elixir, the power it exerted was enough to make the other party lose color.

At the Earth Immortal level, with the help of the purple-gold elixir, one could completely exert the power of the Lesser Vehicle Celestial Immortal-level immortal law.

The other party called himself Taiyi Scattered Number. From the Blank Divine Tablet's guide, it could be learned that Taiyi Scattered Number was a state between the Ascension Realm and the Ascension Peak, not yet entered the true stream, but also much stronger than the likes of Listed Immortals and Corpse Dissolution Immortals, with the preliminary ability to glimpse the secrets of heaven.

The Stellar Qi of the Sun and Moon flowed around Ji Xiang, and Chen Taichu's pupils contracted violently!

Not good!

"Go!"

Ji Xiang counteracted the Stellar Qi of the Sun and Moon, causing this immortal law of supreme power to be seized and driven by Ji Xiang. Thus, the Stellar Qi of the Sun and Moon appeared in front of Chen Taichu, who immediately used his escape technique to try to escape. Even though the escape technique would condense his mind, and such an action would cause a genuine secondary regression in his Dao heart, he couldn't care less.

He knew the power of the Stellar Qi of the Sun and Moon best.

If the Yin and Yang Qi were stripped and shattered, it would mean that the immortal vitality in his body would rapidly flow away. Among the immortals, apart from Ghost Immortals, all immortals after ascension are absolute Yang bodies, with no Yin Qi present in their bodies. The result of being struck by the Stellar Qi of the Sun and Moon would be the instantaneous collapse of the Yang body, endangering the root of his life.

"How could I let you leave so easily!"

Ji Xiang waved his hand!

Imperial Heaven's Retribution!

The mind that had just been condensed was instantly interrupted. The escape technique that was forcibly used only reached halfway before it immediately stopped. Half of his body transformed into an invisible wind, while the remaining half still maintained its human form.

"So it's Wind Escape! This is a superior escape technique among the Thirteen Great Escapes."

Ji Xiang saw the true form of the other party's escape technique. This Wind Escape was much more powerful than his own Metal Escape. Even just exhaling a breath, as long as there was air flow, it would be equivalent to generating wind. With the help of this instant of wind, one could escape from their location.

So, as long as a person is alive and can blow air, Wind Escape can be used.

Metal Escape, on the other hand, must touch metal objects to be used. Although he obtained the divine power of transporting metal objects and turning stones into gold when he obtained the purple-gold elixir, if he wanted to go to a distant place, these two abilities could not be used remotely, and were of no great use.

The limitations were great, and the effects were not satisfactory.

"It's really dangerous. First, I turned you into a banished immortal to prevent you from escaping with an escape technique. Now it seems that it was indeed the right thing to do. If you want to deal with a person, you must consider his means of escape. You come and go without a trace. It turns out that you used Wind Escape."

"With just a breath, you can disappear before my eyes. Even if I have a thousand methods and ten thousand magic powers, you can appear in various places with a single thought. Unfortunately, you can't condense your thoughts now."

Ji Xiang thought that he had glanced at the guide before. There was a stern reminder in the Blank Divine Tablet, telling Ji Xiang not to use the "Nine Heavens Gang Wind" that he had just obtained not long ago.

Ji Xiang originally thought that it was because he was concerned about his lack of proficiency in manipulating the Nine Heavens Gang Wind. He didn't expect that it was because the other party was Wind Escape. Using Gang Wind was equivalent to letting the other party hitch a ride and run away.

But now, the other party's state was a bit strange.

However, since he already knew the other party's escape technique, there was no need to keep his ultimate move!

Half of Chen Taichu's body had turned into an invisible wind and had already escaped. The remaining half of his body, only had half a face and half a body. What flowed from the missing part in the middle was not fresh blood, but pure Yang Qi!

At this moment, his expression was shaken. The Stellar Qi of the Sun and Moon immediately acted on his body, causing his Yang body to spew out surging immortal blood!

And a wisp of nine-colored flowing light had already appeared on Ji Xiang's fingertips!

"Between life and death?"

This light, one inch long, can brush away everything!

"Floating clouds obscure the moon after the third watch."

"The pure colors flow together for ten thousand miles!"

Ji Xiang's voice was transmitted, and the nine-colored flowing light also transformed into a flying sword and shot straight away!

"Supreme Void Treasure Light! You actually have it too!"

Chen Taichu was terrified. Although many experienced immortals knew that Jade Purity cultivators possessed the Supreme Void Treasure Light that devoured everything, not many people had actually encountered the Supreme Void Treasure Light. After all, those who encountered it rarely survived.

The Supreme Void Treasure Light required the Supreme Void Treasure as a carrier, which was the twelve glazed cauldrons. This thing was the key to refining the Supreme Void Treasure Light. Therefore, even if the Supreme Void Treasure Light was taken away by others, as long as they held the Supreme Void Treasure, they could instantly retrieve the treasure light.

However, Chen Taichu naturally couldn't possibly carry the Supreme Void Treasure.

The nine-colored brilliance instantly grew larger, covering him in it!

The treasure light disappeared, and Chen Taichu's body also disappeared, leaving only a mass of Stellar Qi of the Sun and Moon that had just killed its master and was now ownerless, drifting in the heavens and earth. The clear smoke soared up, devouring the Stellar Qi of the Sun and Moon, pulling it into the Blank Divine Tablet, and turning it into his own use!

"This is your own doing. If you hadn't pursued the Tiguai Demon Qi, it would have been a difficult battle for me to deal with you."

"But... only half escaped, and the remaining half can live. The half that escaped... should also be able to live. As expected of an immortal, even if banished, they are not easily killed."

"He should still have Yang God incarnations. By taking one incarnation, he can restore his original appearance, but his strength should drop greatly."

As soon as the words fell.

Suddenly, in this Phoenix Mountain, a strange howling sound was emitted!

Ji Xiang suddenly heard the wailing sounds of countless people, but these sounds were not emitted from the bodies of living beings, but came from the dark void, like prayers and cries.

.......

Chen Taichu's half body transformed with the help of Wind Escape, and the pure Yang Qi on his body quickly restored this half of his body to its original state. He was still in shock, not expecting his Wind Escape to be interrupted by that strange spell!

"That must be immortal magic; it can never be a human spell!"

"The disaster is difficult to overcome! I must leave this place first, avoid it for a period of time, and then make plans later."

Chen Taichu sensed the nine Yang God clones, but found that he could no longer detect the situation of the nine clones. It seemed that they had just died recently!

This startled him greatly. The Yang God clones possessed strength similar to his main body. Even if he became a banished immortal, lowering the upper limit of the clone's strength, they should at least possess Pure Yang-level combat power.

The Pure Yang Realm was already the peak of the human world. How could they possibly die in his perception?

"Could it be that after the Dao heart regresses and shatters, I can't condense my thoughts during this period, so even the clones will disappear?"

Chen Taichu shook his head. Without experiencing the situation of a broken Dao heart, naturally guessing blindly would not lead to any conclusions.

He was about to leave when he suddenly stopped!

A huge tearing force bloomed on his body!

"My Xing Shen!" (form and spirit)

Chen Taichu's Xing Shen suddenly cracked open and began to separate from his body! The immortal's form in the world began to be lost, and Chen Taichu was horrified, not knowing what had happened!

"I have already taken the Qingzhu Essence, this situation should not occur! Is it because my half-body was destroyed, leading to an incomplete Xing Shen!"

"No... no! My Xing Shen is collapsing and dissolving!"

"This is, this is!"

"Xing Jie Xiaohua, based on the matters of ghosts and gods!"

"Xu Fu, Xu Fu, you damned fellow!"

The vicious methods of the Taoist alchemists of the Qin Dynasty, destroying a person's Xing Shen, and then turning the person into a whole, into a wish, and then turning the wish into a vengeful spirit. Thus, they would be immortal and immortal, for the immortal master to drive, able to change in thousands of ways.

"You fellow, want to turn me into a vengeful spirit?"

"I'm afraid you're not qualified enough!"

"That crippled immortal bullied me..... He is a Trial Demon King, and I suffered his poison. It was also caused by tribulation, and the will of heaven is irresistible. So be it!"

"Now, you, a useless immortal, want to ride on my head?"

In Chen Taichu's body, as the Xing Shen shattered, bursts of strange black Qi began to be released!

His image began to change. A second Xing Shen emerged from his body, but it was no longer in the shape of a human!
