Chapter 1456: Yun Xiao VS Zhang Taixuan: The Might of Proving the Dao Through Strength (3/5, Seeking Subscriptions)

Yun Xiao: "Divine Spirit? The kind conferred by imperial decree?"

Su Xiao: "Most likely not. Akuya should be a Primordial Divine Spirit. It's just that she's lived through far too many years, so her personality comes across as a bit eccentric."

Yun Xiao: "I see. Fellow Daoist Taixuan, besides the Immortal Martial Dao and the Three Corpses Dao in the Shangcheng, is there any other path that can achieve Primordial Chaos?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Proving the Dao through strength!"

Yun Xiao: "Proving the Dao through strength?"

Biyou: "Isn't that just a legend? This method is said to be unworkable."

Zhang Taixuan: "For ordinary people, it truly is unworkable. Because even if one accumulates magic power through immeasurable kalpas, one still may not prove the Dao and become Primordial Chaos. However, with the foundation of myriad heavens and worlds, one can still give it a try."

Yun Xiao: "Fellow Daoist Taixuan, do you prove the Dao through strength? May I have the honor of witnessing it?"

Su Xiao: "Wow, Sister Yun Xiao has real guts, daring to challenge Brother Taixuan."

Xiao Mai: "It's been so long since I've seen Brother Taixuan make a move."

Qi Tian Da Sheng: "Has Miss Xiao Mai gone senile? Didn't he just fight the Buddha not long ago?"

Xiao Mai: "That was only one move. I couldn't see anything at all."

Su Xiao: "Same here!"

Ye Hei: "Same here!"

Zhang Taixuan: "Then let's have a battle on the arena! Want to wager something?"

Yun Xiao: "Arena?"

Xiong Ba: "The arena is a function of the chat group. It can project the true strength of group members, and even death within it has no real effect. Arena battles are divided into wager mode and sparring mode. Witnessed by the chat group, it's perfectly fair."

Yun Xiao: "I see. Then I'll wager a mid-grade Primordial Spirit Treasure—the Purple Thunder Sword."

Zhang Taixuan: "As for me, the Heaven-Opening Method or the Creation Jade Disc Condensation Method—choose either one. How about it?"

Yun Xiao: "The Heaven-Opening Method! The Creation Jade Disc Condensation Method? Fellow Daoist, you are truly generous!"

Su Xiao: "Just hearing it makes my heart stir. I used to think these two mental methods were pretty useless, after all, I had no use for them. Now that I know their purpose, I realize how limited my horizons were before."

Xiao Mai: "Sister Yun Xiao, which one are you choosing?"

Biyou: "Pick the Heaven-Opening Method, right? Without the Heaven-Opening Method, you can't open up a Great Thousand Worlds, and you still won't achieve Primordial Chaos."

Lala: "But without condensing the Creation Jade Disc, you can't become a Saint either."

Yang Jian: "You're all overthinking it. Although Immortal Yun Xiao is powerful, I don't think she'll win!"

Su Xiao: "That's true too. Even the Buddha was taken out in one move. How many moves can Immortal Yun Xiao last?"

Yun Xiao: "... Although I don't know if I can win. Still, I'll choose the Heaven-Opening Method first. Fellow Daoist Taixuan, may I exchange spirit treasures for the Creation Jade Disc Condensation Method afterward?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Of course."

Yun Xiao: "Fellow Daoist, you are truly magnanimous. Let's begin."

【Ding! Arena activated!】

【Ding! Zhang Taixuan and Yun Xiao have started an arena battle. Come watch!】

【Ding! Biyou has entered the arena...】

【Ding! Lala has entered the arena...】

【...】

Chaos manifested, and boundless Great Chaos Domains unfurled.

This time, the arena environment was not the mortal world, but within Chaos itself.

Clearly, the chat group also knew that the two combatants were extremely powerful, so it was better to simulate the arena environment as Chaos.

Though called a simulation, it felt almost real. Both the corrosive nature and the violent properties of chaotic qi were faithfully replicated.

For ordinary cultivators to enter such a place, let alone fight, merely surviving would be an achievement.

But for Zhang Taixuan and Yun Xiao, the properties of the chaotic qi currents were like a gentle breeze brushing their faces, posing no threat whatsoever.

Yun Xiao hovered the Hunyuan Jin Dou above her head, her gaze solemn.

With just one glance, she knew the person opposite her was extremely dangerous, and she couldn't help but compare him to the Grandmaster of Tongtian.

The Grandmaster of Tongtian had an aura that pierced the heavens—vast and majestic, radiating the presence of one who suppressed myriad heavens and worlds.

But the person before her had his aura condensed to the extreme, like a terrifying Demon God crossing through time and space.

With every step he took, it was as if a Great Thousand World was crushing down.

"Fellow Daoist, after you!"

Yun Xiao did not give Zhang Taixuan the initiative. Uttering these words, she struck first.

The Hunyuan Jin Dou radiated mysterious light, descending toward Zhang Taixuan.

Within the Hunyuan Jin Dou lie the Three Powers, containing the wonders of Heaven and Earth. It can strip away one's Three Flowers and Five Qis, making it the bane of those with great divine abilities.

In Investiture of the Gods, Yun Xiao used this treasure to strip the Dao cultivation of the Twelve Golden Immortals—truly boundless in power.

Now, wielded by Yun Xiao with vast magic power, it was deployed with far more focus than in the original tale against the Twelve Golden Immortals, and the treasure's might was displayed to its absolute utmost.

"A ultimate move right off the bat!" Su Xiao exclaimed repeatedly. "I feel like I couldn't withstand even one hit from that thing."

Hu Yifei was speechless: "Isn't that obvious? Even without the Hunyuan Jin Dou, you still couldn't take a single hit from Immortal Yun Xiao."

Su Xiao immediately protested: "Ahhh! Sister Yifei is too hurtful."

Hu Yifei: "What, should I flatter you against my conscience? Tell you that you could take a hit from Immortal Yun Xiao?"

Xiao Mai shrank into a tiny form, rolling on the ground laughing: "Miss Xiao, how dare you even think that?"

Su Xiao: "I just wanted Sister Yifei to be a bit more tactful."

Biyou: "Being more tactful won't change the outcome. That's a peak Quasi-Saint level expert!"

Su Xiao fell silent at once.

That hurts so much!

Boom!

Just then, Zhang Taixuan made his move.

No divine ability, no mystic light—only a Bai Xi's palm stretched out, striking toward the Hunyuan Jin Dou and the mystic light it radiated.

His hand seemed like a fantasy killer—divine abilities, spirit treasures, the moment they met his hand, they all crumbled.

Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the mystic light seemed like a bubble, shattering at the slightest touch.

Even the Hunyuan Jin Dou was lightly pressed by the palm and smashed into scraps.

The watching crowd didn't understand what had happened, but Yun Xiao felt an immense pressure.

That hand was utterly unremarkable, yet it seemed like the source of every principle in the world, making her feel as insignificant as gazing up at Gaoshan, her spirit stunned and frozen.

Standing opposite him, she felt as though she had become incomparably tiny.

Not until that palm reached right before her forehead did she snap back to her senses. She hastily unleashed boundless magic power, executing a divine ability that conjured a pair of scissors, and met Zhang Taixuan head-on.

Crack!

Zhang Taixuan's expression remained calm, his offensive momentum unchanged, his palm neither slow nor fast, advancing along its original path.

Yun Xiao deployed every means she had, until she felt a chill on her forehead—only to realize the opponent had already pressed his palm atop her head.

In an instant, she felt that all the magic power and laws within her body had been sealed.
