"Battle!"
Xu Chu roared.
...
Xu Chu wielded the Fire Cloud Blade in his hand and slashed down with fury. On one side, flames blazed across the sky; on the other, shallow blue sword energy was peerless. One was fierce and domineering, capable of shaking heaven and destroying earth; the other was sharp and keen, enough to pierce the four seas. The two clashed on the ocean like a raging tempest. The immense, blinding sharpness obscured the blade intent and sword intent, erupting with thunderous roars and stirring up waves ten thousand feet high. The entire ocean split in two, a chasm appearing!
"Boom!"
This was currently the pinnacle battle of the cultivators in the Cangyuan world plane. This terrifying combat power represented the extreme of martial arts. On one side was a powerful being from a higher plane who had severed his own realm, and on the other, a half-step peerless fierce general who had dominated an era in ancient Huaxia.
Yang Hao, who was concealed in the void, was astonished by the immense impact. The two seemed like spirits of ancient divine beasts, dueling in the void, vying for the peak of the Great Dao. The colossal impact of primal energy made the heavens and earth rumble incessantly. On the vast ocean, the sparse primal energy was swept away and consumed completely.
The seawater rapidly receded, and the myriad sea creatures in the depths frantically evacuated. Those who were a step too slow had their primal energy within their bodies completely diluted, turning them into nothingness.
"This Cangyuan plane is rather unusual!"
Outside the Cangyuan plane, a burly man sitting cross-legged in the void, holding a trident, frowned deeply as he watched the surging space. The powerful primal energy fluctuations made him take notice.
"Boom ka cha~~"
The void cracked, and golden streams of light clashed and repaired. The burly man outside the plane, holding a trident, looked bewildered.
Above the sea, the frenzied primal energy fluctuations swept out for ten thousand miles, even reaching the coast of the Western Regions Continent. The supreme collision of blade intent and sword intent, and the radiant divine light, obscured the nine heavens.
"Bang!"
After dozens of breaths of stalemate, they suddenly pulled apart. The ground beneath their feet was no longer the azure sea, but a desolate, scarred land, devoid of primal energy.
"Impossible!"
The High Priest held his long sword above his head, lightning flashing. A trace of horror flickered in his eyes. The first time he saw Xu Chu, he was shocked by his astonishing vitality and monstrous talent.
A being barely over thirty years old who could forge such a powerful physique and reach the peak of the lower plane in a few decades was something he had never witnessed in his life.
In higher planes, he had seen countless beings ascend to higher planes, all of whom had long since had their vitality depleted. They relied on body replacements and the nourishment of precious medicines to cling to life and barely enter the path of cultivation, but were destined to not go far.
Looking at Xu Chu, who was eyeing him menacingly, the High Priest was filled with awe. If this being were to reach higher planes, he would likely be a powerful entity capable of suppressing an era.
The Great Han Dynasty, who is the divine being behind you!
"You are very strong!"
The High Priest's expression flickered. "If you can follow me, perhaps reaching the Great Dao and becoming a true god in the future will not be impossible!"
"Oh?"
"Are you worthy?"
"What if I become a true god? If a god obstructs His Majesty's path, I will surely slay that god!"
Xu Chu's eyes flashed, and he didn't care about the High Priest at all. The Vermilion Bird armor on his body gradually peeled off, revealing the colorful blood tiger on his flesh. His eyes gleamed with blood-red light, and his powerful aura continuously climbed, making the High Priest's heart clench and his breathing become difficult.
"Human, you are too arrogant. How small is the Cangyuan plane, merely an insignificant grain of sand among countless others."
The High Priest extended a hand, a long sword appearing in it. Brilliant sword energy of the highest level erupted, causing the void to ripple like water.
"Clang!"
The High Priest wielded his long sword, and a river of sword energy cleaved through the air. Sword light intertwined, lightning clashed, as if the Cangyuan world had been opened by sword dao and nurtured within sword dao. In Xu Chu's eyes, everything was composed of sword energy.
The High Priest held his long sword, his eyes shining coldly. An aura that did not belong to this plane emanated from him. Where the aura spread, space shattered, and all things vanished. Streams of void energy, however, were unaffected and poured down.
"Is there no end to this!"
Outside the void, the burly man holding the trident roared in anger, glaring at the star that looked like a grain of sand. Beside this star, three worlds of varying sizes were scattered.
"Hmm?"
Seeing the erupting sword energy, the burly man's face trembled, and he murmured, "This shouldn't be!"
"When did the Cangyuan plane have a being of the Sword Bone lineage!!"
"Xu Chu, today, I will show you what supreme divine art is!!"
The High Priest took a step, and the void was torn apart inch by inch. Divine might crazily enveloped his body. Two narrow flames flickered in his eyes. The moment the flames appeared, heaven and earth split apart. Xu Chu couldn't help but grip the Fire Cloud Blade in his hand. The colorful blood tiger behind him roared in the void, its eyes looking at the divine might and vast flames in the High Priest's eyes with caution.
"Divine fire?"
Outside the Cangyuan world, the burly man's face turned pale. He looked at the divine fire that had appeared with horror. "The Sword Bone clan!!"
"This is bad. I must report this. The Sword Bone clan has actually reached into my Sea God Island."
...
The divine fire in the High Priest's eyes flickered for a few breaths before being extinguished by the interwoven lightning.
"Cough cough......"
A trace of black blood appeared at the corner of the High Priest's mouth. He looked up at the sky with trembling eyes. "Even though I have broken the rules and failed to receive the divine fire's blessing, I can still dominate this world!"
"Ant, come quickly and accept your death!"
He thrust his long sword forward, and a river thousands of miles long instantly surged forth, spanning ten thousand miles.
"Who do you think you are? Even if the Horseman were here, Xu Chu could fight him for three hundred rounds!!"
"Open!"
A blood-red light obscured the sword energy river stretching for ten thousand miles. The fierce blade intent suppressed the sword energy river, causing it to churn and surge. The supreme collision of these two different powers, divine light erupting continuously!
The two sides clashed wildly in the endless void. This world was torn apart by the terrifying force to the point it could not be observed by the naked eye. The shocking fissures, like scars, crisscrossed and lay sprawled across this barren abyss.
"Hum~~"
The long sword spun rapidly, sword energy entwining, as if holding a terrifying divine thunder from heaven in his hand. Sword energy erupted, searching for gaps in Xu Chu's attacks. The High Priest's hunched body was incredibly agile at this moment. As he attacked, he moved like a divine dragon soaring through the four seas, his might exceptionally fierce.
"Roar!"
A tiger's roar shook the surroundings!
Xu Chu's eyes blazed with layers of Southern Bright Fire. He shifted his steps, shattering space. Streams of void energy flowed beneath his feet, unable to harm him in the slightest!
"Impossible!"
"This is impossible!"
The High Priest's eyes bulged, and even his supreme offensive attacks with his long sword faltered slightly!
