Chapter 414: Words that fail to astonish mean death

Xi Wudi's entire body was shrouded in extreme yin power; his face was jade‑like, his clothes fluttering, revealing an extraordinarily stunning, unworldly grace, as if an ice fairy had descended to the mundane world, and the Taiyin law commanded all yin for its use.

Although Xi Wudi's fair face lacked any trace of blood, his appearance was peerless.

His tall, perfect figure stood straight like a pine, his black hair dancing in the cold wind, the wisdom light in his eyes blazing like stars, also giving off an aloof feeling.

The cultivators of the Universe felt, upon sensing the aura emanating from Xi Wudi's whole body, an almost suffocating oppression.

The Taiyin Holy Land is the foremost of the Universe's ten major orthodox powers, and Xi Wudi is moreover the present Holy Son, the youthful leader who defies heaven and seeks the pinnacle; countless heavenly pride's corpses beneath his feet have paved the way for his mighty renown in the Universe Cultivation World.

Xi Wudi, taking 'Invincible' as his name, even an ordinary Myriad Laws Realm expert of the older generation would be doomed to ten deaths and no life under his peerless Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivation.

At this moment, facing the White Bone Dharma Appearance, Xi Wudi showed no trace of fear on his face, and his words carried an overbearing, questioning tone.

The other heavenly pride who had stepped out of the ice lotus from various sects, seeing this, all stood behind Xi Wudi with arms crossed, choosing to remain mere spectators.

Such peerless heavenly pride of the Universe's great Dao lineages are supremely confident in their own strength, never deigning to join forces with others against an enemy, for they would consider it an insult to their true selves.

"Sir, dark clouds cover your head; you will surely meet a bloody disaster—please restrain yourself."

The White Bone Dharma Appearance emanated a magnificent, mighty power from its whole body and directly spoke.

"Pfft."

The Universe cultivators nearby, hearing this, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The White Bone Dharma Appearance actually gave Xi Wudi a face reading, opening its mouth to say he was ill‑fated and in danger of losing his life.

This remark formed a stark contrast to Xi Wudi's arrogantly overbearing demeanor; the bland words emanating from the White Bone Dharma Appearance were worthless.

Many cultivators wondered what kind of being the Dragon Source Demon Master was, so unrestrained and dissolute.

But upon thinking of how the White Bone Dharma Appearance had several times rescued the Universe cultivators just now, they also began to feel resigned.

Indeed, such an absolute ground Divine Ability wielder, whose strength shocks the eight wildernesses, with invincible confidence, can respond to everything as they wish, encountering no restraint.

"Xi Wudi, are you being teased?"

"Hahaha."

The Holy Son of Fenglei Pavilion, Lei Lushan, chuckled and joked, his voice unrestrained, obviously not on good terms with the Holy Son of the Taiyin Holy Land.

The Universe cultivators, seeing this, could also understand.

The Universe's ten major orthodox powers, especially the Upper Four Sects, appeared harmonious on the surface, but in reality undercurrents surged.

The Upper Four Sects, vying for the orthodox leadership that rotates every thousand years, have always been secretly competing; Lei Lushan's mockery of Xi Wudi also makes sense.

"Hmph."

"Slay the heavenly pride, tread the perilous path!"

"The Universe's eight wildernesses, the six directions are supreme."

"Even if myriad karmic burdens cling to me, I shall still defy heaven and open the way."

"A bloody disaster? Delusional nonsense."

After hearing Lei Lushan's words, Xi Wudi flew into a rage and coldly rebutted the White Bone Dharma Appearance; his mighty voice exploded between heaven and earth, spreading in all directions.

The Taiyin cold power, taking the nine heavenly killing chills for use, formed strands of frost around the White Bone Dharma Appearance, continuously ravaging and freezing the void.

The Universe cultivators could see with the naked eye that the frost was rapidly spreading toward the White Bone Dharma Appearance, seeking to directly ice‑seal it.

"Papapa."

The extreme frost cold power sealed heaven and earth, yet when it was still a hundred‑odd zhang away from the White Bone Dharma Appearance, it was outright blocked by the Appearance's immensely sturdy mighty power.

The extreme icy crackling power resonated, forming a one‑zhang‑thick ice barrier around the White Bone Dharma Appearance, and, as the yin cold could not erode its mighty aura, it continued to thicken rapidly.

That heavy, crystal‑clear ice, bathed in the White Bone Dharma Appearance's seven‑colored rosy light, refracted into rainbow ribbons spreading in all directions, making the Appearance look incomparably divine.

That White Bone Dharma Appearance was like a true deity seated in the void, giving a feeling of transcending the mundane to enter the sacred.

"Sir, your killing intent is too heavy; if not checked, it will surely bring disaster upon your family."

"At best it will cost a life; at worst it will destroy the family and leave people dead."

"You ought to wholeheartedly turn to good, refrain from creating further karma, lest you destroy yourself and your home."

The White Bone Dharma Appearance's eyes flickered with sun, moon, and stars, and it spoke again.

Its resonant voice exploded throughout the space, making all the surrounding cultivators' faces turn strange; the words, pregnant with endless profundity, were clearly a double entendre.

Upon hearing this, Xi Wudi's face was utterly cold.

Although he himself was at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, the White Bone Dharma Appearance's shrouded, mysterious aura made it impossible for him to see through.

He had originally intended to probe the White Bone Dharma Appearance's background indirectly, but who knew his emotions would be directly led away by it.

Xi Wudi gazed at the White Bone Dharma Appearance; as proud as he was, his heart was also filled with great discontent.

He gazed at the White Bone Dharma Appearance's serene, composed bearing, and a deep apprehension welled up in his heart—something he had never encountered since his birth on his invincible path of battle.

"Hahaha, you are nothing but my calamity, are you?"

Xi Wudi's eyes flashed with cold light; he quickly dispelled his inner unease, strengthening his resolve, as a mighty battle intent spiraled outward from his body, the Myriad Cold Law converging, his runes spreading in all directions, giving the Universe cultivators an unfathomable feeling.

"Xi Wudi, are you afraid?"

Bibo Xianzi, seeing Xi Wudi's battle intent surging throughout his body, hesitated to act first, smiling lightly and speaking softly.

Countless Universe cultivators, hearing this, all felt a tremor in their hearts.

Bibo Xianzi, united with the Dao, exuded a profound, mysterious feeling from her whole body; her supreme form was tranquil emptiness, seeming to merge with the Dao and also resemble the primal pattern of myriad laws, with great‑dao spirits circling her, giving a sense of invincibility under heaven.

Those words were clearly meant to provoke Xi Wudi, to have him test the White Bone Dharma Appearance's strength before the assembled heavenly pride.

"Let's do it three‑on‑one."

"I like stimulation."

The White Bone Dharma Appearance chuckled in reply; Bibo Xianzi was instantly startled, her silver teeth grinding with a squeak.

Many of the Universe cultivators present, hearing this, covered their faces to stifle laughter; the White Bone Dharma Appearance's remark—'words that don't astonish mean death'—directly caused the instigator Bibo Xianzi's face to fall dramatically.

Everyone saw that, even though Bibo Xianzi had a white veil covering her face, the crimson had already spread to her forehead, and even her delicate jade ears were red enough to almost drip blood.

"Hahaha, the White Bone Dharma Appearance truly is a paragon of strength."

I quite like it.

Among the cultivators of Huanyu, a female cultivator spoke, her eyes fixed on the White Bone Dharma Manifestation, divine light shimmering.

Hehe, what a grand spectacle, haha!

Within the crowd of Huanyu cultivators, murmurs of agitation arose; many male cultivators wore amused expressions.

The White Bone Dharma Manifestation showed no fear, spouting nonsense, openly teasing the immortal who partakes no mortal fare; even the holy son of a supreme sect in Huanyu would not dare, yet the White Bone Dharma Manifestation truly brings surprise.

"Bibo Xianzi, just agree!"

Fuyang Sect's holy son Fu Ji spoke, directly giving Xi Wudi and Bibo Xianzi eye drops in front of the Huanyu cultivators.

The White Bone Dharma Manifestation glanced at Fu Ji, the holy son, eyes narrowing as it spoke in a yin-yang tone.

"Do you also wish to join?"

"This?"

Fu Ji's face instantly darkened, rendered speechless by the White Bone Dharma Manifestation's question, inwardly cursing its ancestors through eight generations.

Bibo Xianzi's expression quickly returned to calm, her heart curious as she regarded the White Bone Dharma Manifestation.

She used her Dao-eye to scrutinize the source of the Great Dao, realizing the white bone before her was merely a Dharma Manifestation; the true caster was not within it, a method most astonishing—even though Bibo Xianzi possesses the supreme Shen Ti, a favored child of the Dao, she still carefully searched the surroundings.

Yet while her Dao-eye could see cultivators' foundations, it found no caster behind the White Bone Dharma Manifestation, making Bibo Xianzi all the more curious about its master.

Bibo Xianzi's face showed a faint smile, and she said.

"Fellow Daoist, you're so confident—don't you dare show your true face?"

"If the immortal takes a fancy to me."

"Under the red bridal canopy, we can hold a candlelit night talk." The White Bone Dharma Manifestation said with a playful grin, its eyes opening and closing, leaving Bibo Xianzi speechless again.

Bibo Xianzi was stunningly beautiful; even with a heart as steadfast as a mountain, she was shaken to the point of earth-splitting, her tone clearly turning cold.

"Destroying the grand schemes of punishment of all Dao lineages, now provoking the heaven-chosen of each sect."

"You truly have the confidence to easily defeat us."

The White Bone Dharma Manifestation issued a solemn voice, utterly unmoved.

"There have been cultivators who spoke to me this way, but they no longer exist in Huanyu."

He boasts of his earthly trash-talking prowess, claiming the Great Xia has never lost.

"Is it this true self challenging one of you, or challenging a bunch of you?"

"You may choose as you wish."

"I am invincible; do as you please."

The White Bone Dharma Manifestation spoke calmly.

Upon these words, the heaven-chosen figures who stepped forth from the ice lotus of all Dao lineages all had twitching faces, full of rage.

The White Bone Dharma Manifestation's words were overly arrogant, not regarding any of them in the slightest, its tone extremly insolent, as if a mere gesture could suppress them.

The contempt in those words made the heaven-chosen of all Dao lineages feel utter shame.

Especially when the White Bone Dharma Manifestation finally called them 'a bunch,' it was tantamount to treating them like filth.

The heaven-chosen of all Dao lineages brimmed with terrifying killing intent, stirring heaven and earth, yin and yang into chaos.

The cultivators present, gazing at the sky above where they could be slain at any moment, were all extremely tense.

"Sharp-tongued."

"Let me, this seat, test your true power."

Xi Wudi stepped ahead of all the heaven-chosen, striding forward to reverse the heavens, to slay the White Bone Dharma Manifestation and establish the name of the Taiyin Holy Land, to become its chief, with myriad laws supreme.

The Taiyin Holy Land is the chief among the righteous powers of Huanyu; as its holy son, he is naturally also the leader among the youthful heaven-chosen holy sons and daughters of all sects.

Xi Wudi stepped forth, Taiyin divine patterns appearing in the void, as if an ice immortal had descended to gaze upon the White Bone Dharma Manifestation.

In the boundless void, Taiyin power surged; bright moonlight fell like soft watery radiance, giving the world a silvery haze, and fluttering jade-white snowflakes drifted down from the nine heavens.

Xi Wudi clenched his hand; Taiyin power madly gathered in his palm, forming a black ice sword in an instant, its runes entwined, divine light blazing as it faced off against the White Bone Dharma Manifestation.

"To gather laws into weapons—this is a method only those of the Myriad Laws Realm can wield."

"As expected of the Taiyin Holy Son, to possess such terrifying power of a Myriad Laws Realm expert while still in the Spirit Terrace Realm."

A Huanyu cultivator gazed at Xi Wudi's black ice sword in his hand and exclaimed in shock.

Xi Wudi's battle spirit boiled over, the ice sword hanging heavenward; shocking killing intent shook the void, shattering space and crushing toward the White Bone Dharma Manifestation, its tremendous surge like oceanic waves, leaving the cultivators on this battlefield mute as cicadas in winter, cowering silent.

"Xi Wudi's strength is simply terrifying; under that killing intent, even though I am also a Spirit Terrace Realm cultivator, I dare not block it."

A Huanyu cultivator gazed at the soaring sword qi, inwardly terrified as they compared themselves.

"Indeed, the heaven-chosen of Huanyu's various Dao lineages are no ordinary folk."

"Each can fight across realms."

"If thrown into the Primordial Spirit Realm, even without Spirit Terrace Realm cultivation, their battle prowess alone could sweep a domain."

A Huanyu cultivator could not suppress the feeling of oppression, speaking with trembling voice.

"Although we share the same realm, I cannot even block a single finger of his."

Among the Huanyu loose cultivators, a bare-chested man with a massive axe on his back muttered in fear, fists clenched, eyes fixed on the battlefield, hoping to comprehend the battle martial canon of the Huanyu Great Teaching therein to boost his own strength.

"I don't know whether the White Bone Dharma Manifestation or Xi Wudi is stronger."

A Huanyu cultivator speculated, still leaning toward the White Bone Dharma Manifestation, for it had once suppressed the Yellow Springs and the reverse-rotating whirlwind in the Tianji Abyss.

Yet this is the Tianji Holy Realm, radiating countless mysteries.

As the holy son of the Taiyin Holy Land, Xi Wudi surely possesses supreme fortune; who knows what dreadful trump cards he may have.

That White Bone Dharma Manifestation appeared in the Tianji Holy Realm without being rejected by the laws, its realm not yet reaching that of the deep-strength experts of the Huanyu Great Teaching; under these circumstances it holds countless unknown possibilities.

In the void, wind and thunder surged, furious winds howled, terrifying runes scattered, even the emptiness was covered in cracks.

The White Bone Dharma Manifestation's eyes flashed with a chilling light, its body entwined with misty power, seeming like dream and illusion, like existence and non-existence.

The violent sword Dao killing intent, like a raging ocean, actually pierced through the White Bone Dharma Aspect's body; the White Bone Dharma Aspect was like rising, curling cooking smoke, rippling and swaying in the air.

"Boom!"

The violent destructive force of the sword Dao killing intent struck the great mountain of Heavenly Pole Ancient Abyss; majestic peaks burst, giant trees flew sideways, and the broken bodies and severed claws of ferocious beasts and birds exploded and scattered amidst the destructive waves, shooting in all directions.

"You?"

After seeing the White Bone Dharma Aspect's rippling and undulating, Xi Wudi continued to stand steadily in the void; his shocked pupils suddenly contracted, his face full of disbelief.

That White Bone Dharma Aspect was actually as transparent as air, offering no resistance to the heaven-and-earth-destroying sword Dao killing intent, letting it automatically pass through its body—such a formidable method that even a strong cultivator of the Myriad Laws Realm would not dare to treat it so casually.

"How is that possible!"

Huanyu cultivators were also stunned.

Xi Wudi's sky-soaring sword Dao killing intent—something they would not dare to contend with even if they expended all their cultivation—yet facing the White Bone Dharma Aspect, it was as light as clouds and wind, without dodging or avoiding.

"Could the Dragon Source Demon Master really be an immortal?"

A Huanyu cultivator exclaimed in shock.

Their mouths were stretched into an O shape, almost able to fit an egg.

This was a young cultivator whose whole body exuded a wild aura; because he was too shocked, he found it hard to accept, and he scratched his hair messy.

"Absolutely impossible!"

Upon hearing the Huanyu cultivators' praise and shock toward the White Bone Dharma Aspect, Xi Wudi's expression turned cold directly.

He had always been the foil highlighting his invincibility and strength, but now he actually became the green leaf backdrop for the White Bone Dharma Aspect, which shattered Xi Wudi's pride in his heart to pieces.
