Xu Yang’s aura soared rapidly, his body, as if cast from gold, expanded, like a human-shaped bear standing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Martial Dao Imagery...\" Yan Guiyun’s face changed drastically, his voice sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Martial Dao Imagery!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang had actually comprehended Martial Dao Imagery. He had actually cultivated the Bear-King Palm to the Great Perfection realm that could induce Martial Dao Imagery. His true talent was even more terrifying than he had estimated before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One had to know that the power of Martial Dao Imagery was generally exclusive to Heaven Origin powerhouses. A few geniuses could master it at Great Perfection of Marrow Cleansing. Even he, who was once the first among the Ten Talents and third among the Ten Talents, had started to attempt the Heaven Origin realm, yet he hadn't cultivated Martial Dao Imagery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, he felt his hair stand on end, horrified, his mind feeling as if a giant rock were pressing on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person he had come to intercept was actually a genius who had been in the sect for less than three years and had comprehended Martial Dao Imagery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a person, as far as he knew, might not appear in the Profound Sun Sect in over a decade. In the current Profound Sun Sect, whether it was peak masters or elders, no one had comprehended Martial Dao Imagery at the Marrow Cleansing realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he felt Xu Yang was hiding deeply; now he knew what true hiding was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Martial Dao Imagery, can it do anything to you?\" Xu Yang roared, his rolling fighting spirit turning into Martial Dao Imagery that could shake the sky and earth. The mountain forest within a hundred zhang seemed to shake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stepped out, his whole body shining with golden light, and the Bear-King behind him let out a silent roar. His palm pierced through the air and slammed out with the momentum of destroying mountains and breaking peaks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Roar...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A huge roar came from his mind, and his mind was almost shaken to pieces. Yan Guiyun’s face changed drastically. Xu Yang’s mental cultivation had actually reached such a strong level that the attack of Martial Dao Imagery had actually involved the mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forcibly broke free, the roar that shook his mind disappeared, but the unstoppable palm force was already close at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he felt as if a giant mountain were pressing on his whole body, breathing was difficult, and before the palm force arrived, the powerful pressure had already made his feet sink into the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I cannot die here! I still have to break through to the Heaven Origin realm, a second Dragon Ascent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of life and death, he roared in his heart, his true qi ignited by anger, and scorching flames sprayed from his pores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pushed his hands out flat, exhausting all his life’s strength to intercept this palm blasted out with Martial Dao Imagery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang’s eyes were sharp, watching this third among the Ten Talents who had already been scared out of his wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vast power surged, and Yan Guiyun felt that he wasn't fighting a person, but a Bear-King that had walked out of the ancient wilderness. The power to destroy mountains and break peaks was simply not something a flesh-and-blood body could resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms trembled astonishingly in an instant, the flames on his body were shaken away, and blood sprayed from his pores.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His physical body, cultivated with the Burning Heaven Flame Body and capable of resisting semi-spirit weapons, let out a groan of being unable to bear the burden. He didn't know how many meridians were shaken broken, and his internal organs were displaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pain instantly covered Yan Guiyun’s face, a flush of red, and terrifying cracks spread along his palm, climbing up to his shoulder, revealing scarlet flesh and jade-like bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puchi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mouthful of blood sprayed out, and he was directly crushed, flying backward with his legs off the ground like a bundle of straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura spread on the ground like a tide, and amidst the rolling smoke and dust, only Yan Guiyun’s miserable scream pierced through the smoke and miasma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked down and saw that although his arms hadn't been shaken broken, many bones were already covered with cracks, and he didn't know how many meridians were broken. He had already become a bloody person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Martial Dao Imagery, can shake the sky and earth. Is this Martial Dao Imagery? It can be called invincible power of the same rank.\" Yan Guiyun’s heart was horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Martial Dao Imagery came out, Xu Yang, who was originally only evenly matched with him, almost shook him to death in one move, domineering and peerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just an increase in strength; under the pressure of Martial Dao Imagery, he could only exert seventy or eighty percent of his ten percent strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp sound rang out, and Yan Guiyun finally had the chance to draw his semi-spirit weapon. However, he had already been scared out of his wits by Xu Yang, and even with the semi-spirit weapon in hand, he had no courage to continue fighting Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carrying his heavily injured body, he took his semi-spirit weapon and turned to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hoo!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Guiyun’s chest heaved, his whole body feeling as if it were being sliced by a thousand knives, and every breath made his facial features twist with stinging pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt sorrow and indignation in his heart, unable to believe that he had been killed and forced to flee in heavy injury by a person he didn't hold in high regard. This was what pained him the most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spilling blood all the way, he rushed toward the distance like a streak of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flee! I cannot die here. Today’s failure is just a little wind and frost on my Heaven Origin path.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Guiyun suppressed the horror in his heart and, with his realm of subtle control over his body, controlled all his wounds to stop bleeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a genius and had his own arrogance. A temporary success or failure couldn't strike him down; it would only become a whetstone for his progress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said, today is your death day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A shrill sound pierced his eardrums. Xu Yang, his whole body golden, tore through the air and pursued him, pointing a finger in mid-air. A finger force, condensed to the extreme, shot out like an arrow from a bow, bringing with it sharp, shrill whistles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pure Origin Gold-Splitting Finger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu Yang, do you really want to kill me all? I am a disciple of the Sect Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His five senses captured the finger force, which was sharper than a knife, and Yan Guiyun roared loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already injured; he would be at the end of his rope if he took one more palm from Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't turn around, and the semi-spirit weapon in his hand stabbed out from under his armpit, precisely pointing at the golden finger force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The finger force dissipated, Yan Guiyun’s arm shook, and the semi-spirit weapon in his hand almost flew out of his grasp. Although it wasn't shaken away, the wounds that had stopped bleeding were shaken open again, spraying a large amount of blood. His body staggered in mid-air, and his speed plummeted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a premonition of something bad in his heart, and his five senses also captured the sound of Xu Yang approaching rapidly. Terrifying pressure was closing in on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, he no longer cared about the cracks all over his body, let the blood flow out, and with his true qi surging, he turned around and killed with a sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his counterattack at the moment of death, and also a sword for the sake of survival. His momentum and killing intent were unprecedentedly high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The semi-spirit sword, under the infusion of true qi, rang out like a dragon’s roar, turning into a piece of sword light that surged out, rolling up rolling smoke and dust, and leaving countless tiny sword marks on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Struggling on the verge of death!\" Xu Yang’s eyes were sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Yan Guiyun were still in his peak state, he would also have to avoid the other party’s semi-spirit weapon. But at this moment, Yan Guiyun was a heavily injured body on the verge of death, and his strength was less than half of his peak. He didn't need to be wary at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword momentum looked sharp and terrifying, but it had no strength at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden bear phantom roared, a violent aura swept out, and the golden palm pushed straight across.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword light and the palm had only just touched when they shattered like bubbles, unable to block this kind of extremely rigid and fierce violent power, finally revealing the body of the semi-spirit weapon, the tip of the sword resting on the golden palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the bloody, fierce, and slightly embarrassed genius of the Ten Talents, golden true qi and sword light colliding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Palm force surged, the sword light was covered with fine cracks, and the semi-spirit weapon, which had already been pressed into an arc, straightened. Yan Guiyun felt a violent force come from the sword body, and the sword in his hand was like a red-hot soldering iron that he couldn't grasp no matter what.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Puchi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the spraying blood, the semi-spirit weapon flew out of his hand, was slapped away by a palm, and the hilt hit his chest heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, even if he activated the semi-spirit weapon, he couldn't hurt Xu Yang in the slightest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't help but despair!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He regretted not bullying others with his cultivation and talent in the beginning, which led to grudges, and he regretted even more not acting sooner, letting Xu Yang grow to this degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden palm slapped the semi-spirit weapon away, moving forward like a hot knife through butter, piercing through the air and continuing to fall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not reconciled!\" Yan Guiyun didn't try to dodge, because he couldn't dodge at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden palm carried unimaginable pressure. Before the palm arrived, the pressure already made his body feel as if it were about to fall apart, his wounds collapsed, and his legs sank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Crack!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a heavy hammer hitting a drum, accompanied by the sound of bones cracking, Yan Guiyun’s chest collapsed, his body bowed like a cooked shrimp and flew backward, coughing up blood in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hit the ground, creating a large pit, and slid for a distance before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was full of filthy blood and dust, no longer having the style of the third genius of the Ten Talents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any last words?\" Xu Yang walked over, the golden light on his body fading, and his fighting spirit calming down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Guiyun’s eyes, which didn't have much vitality left, lit up, and he said: \"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, I have no interest in listening!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just before he could finish, Xu Yang stepped on his chest, crushing his chest into meat paste, his internal organs completely shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This beast was playing with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Guiyun widened his eyes and died in unwillingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang bent down to loot the body. Unfortunately, there was nothing on Yan Guiyun; the silver notes and elixirs had already been destroyed in the battle with him, and nothing was left. He just took off the sword scabbard and collected it with the sword that had fallen to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Another semi-spirit weapon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1992,"2026-06-16T12:17:43.130Z","2026-06-16T12:23:15.380Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","90c39ae74299a3257de6bfba88769d46c58c3ec6159c8ba00f6182250344e93b","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-339","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-337",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
