Chapter 442: Slay Immortal Sword, Exterminate Life Sword Dao

A hint of doubt flashed in the black-clad cultivator's eyes, then was replaced by vigilance.

He knew that against an unknown enemy, any hint of carelessness could be fatal.

But the earthly power coiling around Longling could not be deceived, and moreover the opponent could freely move through soil and stone; only an earth-attribute cultivator who had reached the Myriad Laws Realm and comprehended the earth-attribute law could do that.

Yet he felt no trace of earth-attribute law power from Longling at all.

"No matter who you are, since you involve the Ancient Earth Royal Clan, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

The black-clad cultivator said coldly.

He quickly formed seals with both hands; a strong surge of spiritual energy burst from his body, forming black whirlwinds that swept toward Longling and Heifeng.

Longling's eyes flashed with disdain; he vanished from the original ground, reappeared at another spot, and rose lightly from the earth as if clouds and wind were gentle.

That black whirlwind rose into the air and swept toward the distance; the towering ancient trees in its path were uprooted, and even the boulders embedded in the ground were shattered into dust by the Heifeng's agitation.

This person merely stared blankly at the black-clad individual and white-robed cultivator before him.

The two of them exchanged a glance, both seeing shock in each other's pupils.

Again, that same move?

How exactly did the enemy before them accomplish that?

One must know that although they are descendants of the Ancient Earth Royal Clan, even if they hide in the earth, they cannot act with such free ease and mastery.

A cold glint appeared in the eyes of the black-clad person and the white-robed cultivator; this matter is too strange, likely involving some leaked inheritance of the Ancient Earth Royal Clan.

Since the Ancient Earth Human Emperor emerged and reached the pinnacle of the Universe Cultivation World, later ages of primeval antiquity and ancient times have continued to the present, and many similar events have occurred.

Yet the inheritance of the Ancient Earth Royal Clan is so noble and sacred that for the Human Emperor's descendants, only imperial bloodline can cultivate it.

Whoever is involved with the Ancient Earth Human Emperor's inheritance will be attacked by the Earth Emperor's descendants, who will seize the Ancient Earth Human Emperor's Treasure Canon and welcome it back to the clan.

However, while they were lost in thought, Heifeng seized the moment, flickering into a black shadow and silently moving behind the black-clad cultivator.

"Impudent!"

After sensing the danger, the black-clad cultivator's expression changed sharply and he quickly turned around.

As he waved his hands, black light shot from his palms, emitting a series of explosions.

Just as Heifeng silently approached the black-clad cultivator, the fierce ghost killing spirit in his hand condensed into a blade, forming a pitch-black dagger like ink, about to stab the cultivator's back.

"Boom—"

At the moment the dagger was about to touch the black-clad cultivator, a white light suddenly descended from heaven and deflected Heifeng's dagger.

The white-robed cultivator had somehow joined the battle, gripping a white longsword whose blade flowed with a faint light.

"Since you are not of the Ancient Earth Royal Clan!"

"Then please explain how you can so skillfully wield earthly power!"

"Otherwise, the Ancient Earth Royal Clan will certainly not let today's matter rest."

The white-robed cultivator's voice was calm and firm, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Longling and Heifeng.

Longling and Heifeng exchanged a glance, showing no fear.

Especially Longling, upon hearing the white-robed cultivator's words, felt a cold sneer in his heart.

The inheritance of Earth's Xia civilization, spanning five thousand years, with the Hundred Schools of Thought and myriad sects, once shone with unparalleled brilliance.

Whether Daoist, Yin-Yang, Buddhist, Confucian, or others, countless mysterious sages have appeared in the endless river of history.

Those sages, whose fame spread far and wide, shaking ancient and modern times, analyzed the mysteries of the profound, Buddhist, Yin-Yang, and Five Elements laws in exhaustive detail.

Moreover, many mysterious escape techniques were passed down, such as this Five Elements Escape Technique, which the venerable one created by studying the scriptures of the great Daoist and Buddhist sects, filling in the gaps as a mysterious divine ability.

Yet the black-clad cultivator and the white-robed cultivator mistakenly took the Earth Escape Technique from the Five Elements Escape Technique to be a part left by the Primeval Ancient Human Emperor in the Universe Cultivation World, and even intended to test them on it.

However, the Five Great Human Emperors created techniques for cultivators of the Universe Cultivation World, spreading them among humanity to let people resist strong foes, passing the torch down, allowing humanity to endure.

Such achievements are admirable and commendable!

But after countless ages, the Ancient Emperor's descendants became selfish; whenever they saw a powerful Five Elements Law divine ability, they regarded it as the supreme killing technique left by the Ancient Emperor in the Universe Cultivation World and sought to seize it by force.

Such conduct is overly domineering!

"Hmph!"

"You stole the ancient sigil we intended to obtain, and now you act like ruffians trying to steal our cultivation methods."

"Shameless!"

"If we fight, we fight—I hardly even consider you two."

Longling said in a deep voice, his tone thick with naked mockery.

Heifeng extended his scarlet tongue to lick the black dagger condensed from the fierce ghost killing spirit, his face equally cold.

Since Longling fears nothing, he who follows Longling naturally fears no provocation from the Human Emperor's descendants.

On a narrow path, the brave prevail; here lie the relics of the Ancient God Sect, all coming for the treasures of the Primeval Ancient Great Teaching's divine treasury, and under such fierce competition, it's either you die or I live.

"You damned wretches, do you know the fate of offending the Ancient Emperor Clan? If you're sensible, stretch your necks for slaughter, leaving you a whole corpse."

"Otherwise, I'll kill you all."

The black-clad cultivator spoke in a deep, angry voice.

Afterwards, he secretly exchanged a glance with the white-robed cultivator, as if communicating something with his eyes.

After witnessing Longling and Heifeng's methods, they all grew wary.

Longling and Heifeng are very strong; this is what the two of them had previously seen hidden in the jungle, otherwise the Universe Cultivation World cultivators they ambushed would not have had much means to resist.

The white-robed cultivator gave a cold snort.

"Boastful without shame!"

"You are clearly courting death!"

The white-robed cultivator's voice was filled with anger and naked killing intent.

The black-clad cultivator also promptly followed up, coldly saying: "Why waste words on them? Capture them first, then perform a soul search, and everything will become clear."

Boom

The light on the black-clad cultivator's long sword shone brighter, clearly ready for another attack.

Seeing this, Longling and Heifeng emanated an incredibly fierce aura, showing no weakness at all.

This made the cultivator of the Ancient Earth Royal Clan frown instantly.

A sense of extreme danger inexplicably rose in their hearts.

Their souls seemed to feel an unprecedented pressure; if they truly clashed head-on, they would likely find it hard to retreat unscathed.

"Go ahead and come, I'm afraid you won't make it."

Heifeng's voice revealed a hint of resolve.

His body began to emit a faint black light, and the wandering souls and wild ghosts around seemed to start responding to the summons summons of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner above his head.

The ground began to tremble, and clods of earth flew up.

Heifeng bolstered himself with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, bringing forth the surrounding ferocious ghosts; with his palms together, streams of black qi surged from his body, forming a protective shield that enveloped both him and Longling.

"Come on, let's see what your so-called strength is!"

Heifeng's voice carried a hint of provocation; he had already prepared to receive the attack.

The black-clad cultivator and the white-robed cultivator said no more; they knew words could not resolve the matter, only true combat could decide the victor.

At the same moment, their bloodline power awakened, eerie earth-yellow runes coiling around them; drawing on the earth's power, their bodies became like ghostly afterimages, wandering in all directions.

The black-clad cultivator was surrounded by a swirling vortex of black earth dust, while the white-robed cultivator's long sword emitted a dazzling white light; both simultaneously launched a fierce assault on Longling and Heifeng.

The battle erupted again.

Earth spikes intertwined with black light, whirlwinds with white light, forming a spectacular and terrifying clash.

Boom—

The battle continued for a long time, neither side had a clear advantage, but both were also very clear.

If they continued like this, they would eventually collapse from exhaustion and be defeated.

They must find a breakthrough; otherwise, in today's battle, they will hardly survive.

"Bang…"

In the fierce clash, Longling's body shuddered violently; a mighty power burst from within him, forming a colossal ten-thousand-zhang Spiritual Power Giant.

This great dharma aspect, backed by the bright moon, was a white bone seated in the void; beneath it, a white lotus with eight petals bloomed, and it charged toward the black-clad and white-robed cultivators.

Heifeng was not to be outdone; his black qi shield suddenly expanded, enveloping both the black-clad and white-robed cultivators, then swiftly contracted, forming a black cage that trapped them inside.

"If that's all your strength, then become part of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner!"

Heifeng shouted loudly; the Ten Thousand Souls Banner above his head clattered, and the mysterious malevolent power shook heaven and earth.

This murderous scene made distant observers feel as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The black-clad and white-robed cultivators, trapped in Heifeng's cage, faced the giant dharma aspect summoned by Longling, their expressions turning grimly solemn.

They knew that if they could not quickly break out of the cage, they would face great danger.

The battle entered a white-hot stage; both sides unleashed their signature techniques, the battlefield filled with violent forces, terrifying surges swept the area, leaving most obstacles gone.

The black-clad and white-robed cultivators, trapped in Heifeng's cage, flashed a hint of ruthlessness in their eyes.

They were descendants of the Ancient Earth Human Emperor, part of the Universe Cultivation World's five great ancient royal clans; this life-and-death contest concerned not only their lives and fortunes, but also the dignity of the Ancient Earth Royal Clan.

As descendants of the Ancient Earth Human Emperor, the Human Emperor lives in the hearts of all beings; this is 'who else if not me,' the vast glory that shakes the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

They must not allow the dignity of the Ancient Earth Royal Clan to be desecrated.

The black-clad cultivator drew a deep breath, quickly formed seals, and a stronger black spiritual qi surged from his body, violently colliding with the black qi inside the cage.

"Break!"

He shouted loudly; the black spiritual qi, like a sword, instantly tore a corner of the cage.

At the same time.

The white-robed cultivator's long sword also emitted a dazzling light, condensing a white beam at its tip, pointing straight at the other end of the cage.

"Slash!"

Following his command, the beam pierced the black qi, merged with the black-clad cultivator's spiritual qi, and together tore the cage apart.

"Bang bang bang…"

The terrifying sound waves echoed back and forth in the void…

Longling's summoned White Bone Dharma Giant had already reached the Ancient Earth Royal Clan cultivator; its massive fist, accompanied by a sonic boom, smashed toward them.

The black-clad and white-robed cultivators exchanged a glance; their movements were nearly simultaneous—one turned into a black shadow, the other into white light, dodging the White Bone Giant's attack from left and right.

At the same moment, they used their bloodline power to mobilize the earth's law, forming thick earth-yellow armor on their bodies to defend their souls.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh…"

Above the earth, endless thick yellow mist shimmered forth, gathering into the bodies of the black-clad and white-robed cultivators, continuously replenishing their earth-attribute spiritual power.

"The power of the earth resonates with our bloodline!"

"Your fate is already sealed."

"Surrender now, and leave you two with intact corpses!"

The black-clad cultivator's voice was full of mockery; he formed seals again, and streams of black spiritual qi, like ropes, wrapped around the White Bone Dharma Giant's form, beginning to rapidly erode it with earth-attribute law.

The white-robed cultivator was not to be outdone; his sword traced white arcs in the air, forming a complex formation that trapped the White Bone Dharma Giant.

"Seal!"

He gave a soft shout; the formation shone with dazzling light, beginning to suppress the White Bone Dharma Giant's movements.

Seeing this, Longling curled his lip in a cold smile.

He hesitated no longer, directly unleashing the power to shake heaven and earth; his delicate, crystal-clear palms joined together, gathering spiritual power from all directions, continuously condensing upon the bright moon behind the White Bone Dharma Aspect.

The bright moon rose slowly, absorbing the surrounding lunar power for use, forming a huge transparent light sphere.

Heifeng saw this and likewise showed no sign of weakness.

The Myriad Soul Banner clattered above his head, the violent murderous aura condensed on the dagger, and the light on the dagger grew brighter and brighter.

"Kill!"

Longling let out a loud shout and hurled the earth ball at the black-clad cultivator and the white-robed cultivator.

At the same time, Heifeng transformed his dagger into a black meteor, pointing straight at the two.

"Oooom—"

The black-clad cultivator and the white-robed cultivator instantly changed expression, an unprecedented sense of danger suddenly began to permeate their hearts.

This was the terrifying counterattack of Longling and Heifeng, leaving them no room to retreat; they had to meet it head-on.

The black-clad cultivator's black spiritual energy and the white-robed cultivator's white light burst forth simultaneously, forming a black-and-white interwoven barrier that blocked the attacks of the earth ball and the black meteor.

For a moment, the entire battlefield was shrouded in this powerful force.

"Boom—"

The light ball and the black meteor dissipated before the black-and-white barrier, and two figures were flung out from the tremendous mushroom-cloud storm that shot up into the sky, their bodies swaying as if about to collapse at any moment.

The black-clad cultivator and the white-robed cultivator looked horrified, their clothes tattered, having just resisted the enemy's attack head-on, they had expended a large amount of spiritual energy.

If they could not draw upon the power of the earth, they would certainly be in danger of falling.

"I never expected this."

My brother and I relied on our formidable combat power to make a name for ourselves in Huanyu, earning the title Black-White Double Fiends.

You actually managed to reduce my brother and me to such a sorry state.

Your strength has made us look at you anew, but the methods of the Ancient Earth Emperor must be restored.

The white-robed cultivator gazed at Longling and Heifeng, his tone tinged with a hint of sorrow.

The black-clad cultivator also nodded, saying, "The Human Emperor is the glory of our clan; we will not allow outsider cultivators to desecrate it."

Even if we die in battle, we have no regrets!

Heifeng saw that Longling remained as calm and indifferent as ever, and for a moment he was somewhat shocked.

I never expected that the two before me were actually the famed Black-White Double Fiends of the Universe Cultivation World, and that the Black-White Double Fiends were also descendants of the Ancient Earth Royal Clan.

If it were the past, the thought of being able to defeat the cultivator before me would be unthinkable, but now, with Longling's help, I have actually managed to do it.

Heifeng took a deep breath, and the Myriad Soul Banner above his head clattered.

As long as Longling gives the word, I will strike a killing blow and take the souls of the Black-White Double Fiends. (End of chapter)
