Chapter 198: Taiyi True Immortal Perfection, Xuangui Breaks Through?

"Opportunity!"

"This is opportunity."

Sheltered under the Taiji Diagram, Lin Fan stared with burning eyes at the figures battling in the distance.

He sat cross-legged, locking his gaze onto Laozi, carefully comprehending every move and stance of Laozi, and even the power of will emanating from him, such as the Taiqing Sword Intent, Sword Momentum, Sword Domain, and even the Sword World.

All of this was what he urgently needed, and what he himself required.

Relying on his Learn at First Sight talent, even if it was obscure and difficult to understand, or even if there were no clues to be seen at all, his mechanical-like learning ability still caused his comprehension of the Taiqing Sword Dao to soar in a straight line, and his mastery of the Taiqing Sword Dao was also rising rapidly.

Under these circumstances, time flew by.

As Saints, the strength of both Laozi and the Demonic Saint was beyond doubt, which resulted in the fact that although there was some gap between the two sides, the difficulty of completely defeating or even suppressing the other was also incomparably huge.

After an unknown number of years, a series of extremely terrifying aura fluctuations suddenly began to emanate from within the Zhuxian Sword Formation in the distance.

At this moment, both Laozi and the Demonic Saint, who were in the midst of a life-and-death struggle, were startled.

Their eyes met, and the two stopped their movements simultaneously.

Subconsciously turning their heads to look at where the Zhuxian Sword Formation was, the Demonic Saint took the first step to retreat and put distance between himself and Laozi.

Laozi did not pursue either; he floated in the mid-air region with his sword in hand, his gaze subconsciously looking toward the Zhuxian Sword Formation. He said nothing, and the entire area fell into an eerie silence.

"Break for me—"

It was at this very moment that Lin Fan, sheltered under the Taiji Diagram in the distance, whispered quietly.

The next second, Lin Fan's aura could be seen erupting; his Taiqing Sword Intent reached Great Accomplishment, his Taiqing Sword Momentum reached Great Accomplishment, and in the area beside him, a special power dominated by Taiqing Sword Intent and Sword Momentum began to condense, eventually gathering together to transform into an exotic space resembling a territory.

Although not large, the birth of this Sword Domain caused the sharp aura around Lin Fan to soar hundreds of times over.

Furthermore, because of the birth of the Sword Domain, it directly led to a certain degree of improvement in his own Slaughter Sword Dao, Destruction Sword Dao, Damage Sword Dao, and Shangqing Sword Dao.

With this, Lin Fan's own Sword Dao strength improved in all aspects, stabilizing at the stage where Sword Intent and Sword Momentum reached Great Accomplishment. After mixing together, it even caused that Sword Domain to expand by ten times, his overall strength improved, and his cultivation base soared in a straight line to the Perfection of the Taiyi True Immortal realm!

"It's over!"

"I didn't control it!"

Sensing his own situation, Lin Fan opened his eyes abruptly, a bitter look appearing on his face.

He had previously deliberately stalled his cultivation base, all to buy enough time to polish his own realm and foundation.

But who could have imagined that this comprehensive improvement in his Sword Dao would directly lead to his mind relaxing, and his cultivation reaching the Perfection of the Taiyi True Immortal realm? The time he had left to polish himself would be greatly reduced, and he would even need to accelerate the condensation of the Five Qi Converging to Origin, as well as the trials of the Three Calamities.

After a long while, Lin Fan came back to his senses and sighed inwardly: "Forget it, since I have already broken through, then I shall wait quietly for the result!"

"Fortunately, I completed the condensation of the Five-Colored Divine Light. Under these circumstances, the foundation of the Innate Five Elements Qi is already perfected, and the condensation of the Five Qi Converging to Origin Dao Fruit will be much simpler when the time comes!"

Thinking of this, Lin Fan stopped struggling with it and continued to close his eyes, immersing himself in cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

Lin Fan successfully stabilized his realm, and along with it, some of his own shortcomings were also completely remedied.

After finishing all this, Lin Fan opened his eyes and looked toward the area in the distance.

One could see that both Laozi and the Demonic Saint were still staring at the location of the Zhuxian Sword Formation. The aura fluctuations emanating from it were becoming increasingly intense, even reaching an extremely terrifying level. Even the previously obscure Zhuxian Sword Formation now seemed much more transparent, and one could vaguely see the body of a behemoth standing within it.

Zzz—

Just at this moment, the sea area below trembled.

Following closely, a flash of crimson quietly emerged, spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and within a short time, it dyed the sea area where the Zhuxian Sword Formation was located red.

Under these circumstances, countless Demons began to gather toward this place, frantically devouring those bloodstains. With every mouthful swallowed, the aura on those Demons would improve to a certain degree.

"This is Xuangui Blood!"

"The blood of a Half-step Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal is actually such a great tonic!"

His pupils constricted, and Lin Fan licked his lips, a trace of heat flashing in the depths of his eyes.

He was also a Demon body; if he went down to swallow the blood, he could also rapidly increase his magic power.

However, after only a moment, Lin Fan calmed down.

It was not that he had suppressed his greed, but that those Demons below had already undergone changes; one by one they wailed in pain, and even Innate Evil Qi began to entwine around their bodies.

In just a few dozen breaths of time, large swaths of Demons were infected, completely losing their reason, and with red eyes, they began to slaughter each other; clearly, there was no sanity left.

"Tsk tsk, Innate Evil Qi is truly a power more bizarre and difficult to deal with than Innate Turbid Qi."

"It directly destroyed the souls and Primordial Spirits of those Demons, leaving only the spirits, which, because they absorbed the Xuangui Blood, directly merged into their physical bodies, causing those Demons to transform at this moment into something similar to Ancient Fierce Beasts. Moreover, they do not have the powerful physical bodies of Ancient Fierce Beasts, and their potential is far inferior; this life of theirs can be considered completely ruined!"

At this moment, Lin Fan secretly rejoiced that he had not been impulsive.

Crack—

Just at this time, a sound of shattering rang out.

In an instant, Lin Fan, Laozi, and the Demonic Saint all raised their heads to look.

One could see that the outer area of the Zhuxian Sword Formation began to crack, and an aura surpassing that of a Half-step Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal surged out. That terrifying pressure raged, directly causing Laozi's expression to turn grave, and the Demonic Saint's face to turn as cold as frost.

After a long while, the Demonic Saint came back to his senses, snorted coldly, and looked at Laozi, saying: "Are you satisfied now?"

"I want to see how you will deal with it when the time comes!"

"An existence that has broken the shackles, a guy who is truly free and unfettered in the real sense—just wait and regret it!"

After speaking, the Demonic Saint did not intend to linger any longer.

He cast an unwilling glance at the location of the Zhuxian Sword Formation, then waved his hand to tear through space, stepped into it, and disappeared into the region of the North Sea End.

After the Demonic Saint left, Laozi's expression was not very good either. He looked complexly at the location of the Zhuxian Sword Formation and muttered: "It actually succeeded. Such a slim hope could actually be fulfilled; is this Heaven's Will?"

"If this is the case, then what do we Saints count for?"

Lin Fan looked at the system panel, his expression calm, and he muttered to himself, "It seems that the path of the Dao is truly endless."
