Chapter 843: Endgame 323: Crushing!

Lu Xuan, fellow Daoist, this is between us! I want to duel you one-on-one; if I win, let this matter be dropped—do you dare accept?

The voice fell!

Everyone was stunned.

Ye Chen and the others exchanged glances, unable to hold back laughter.

This Refine Heaven Ancestor really knows how to pick opponents!

The True Martial Primordial Ancestor couldn't help laughing out loud, "Dueling Lu Xuan, the Venerable Lord, one-on-one—do you have that kind of strength?"

The Refine Heaven Ancestor, however, clung to the last straw like a lifeline, shouting at Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, dare you or not? Let's have a fair fight!"

Lu Xuan lightly said, "As you wish."

The True Martial Primordial Ancestor suddenly retreated tens of millions of zhang away with a boom.

The Refine Heaven Ancestor climbed up from the ground, his expression turning grave, "Lu Xuan, fellow Daoist, I've actually always been curious about your true strength."

At that time, his plan was based on the premise of being able to devour Lu Xuan!

In the next instant, the Refine Heaven Ancestor directly launched a crushing attack toward Lu Xuan.

"Boom!"

He drew the terrifying spirit-fire power of the Main Star from his body; here accumulated over endless ages, the spirit-fire great Dao power, like a vast sea, endless, the Refine Heaven Ancestor's hand seal shifted, and he slapped his palm toward Lu Xuan.

"Refine Heaven Technique!"

The surging spirit fire continually evolved into myriad heaven-and-earth phenomena, directly locking onto Lu Xuan, transforming into a terrifying fire dragon.

The fire dragon's body was huge, its scales flashing with crimson light, almost like a true dragon descending; its claws scorched heaven and earth, and its interior contained a vast amount of spirit-fire power.

This power was incredibly fierce, capable of refining the myriad heavenly stars!

The Refine Heaven Ancestor reminded, "Lu Xuan, fellow Daoist, if you can't withstand it, just tell me! I don't want to hurt you either; we're just sparring."

Lu Xuan gave no response, his expression light and carefree, merely extending a finger lightly.

"Hiss!"

A river of divine splendor burst forth, shooting straight at that terrifying spirit-fire dragon.

The Refine Heaven Ancestor furrowed his brows, saying, "Lu Xuan, fellow Daoist, you're greatly underestimating me..."

Before he finished speaking, the terrifying fire dragon he had evolved shattered segment by segment, its body turning into countless spirit-fire fragments that scattered across heaven and earth.

"Pfft!"

The Refine Heaven Ancestor spat out a mouthful of essence blood, as if suffering heavy injury, his body flying backward directly.

"How is that possible?"

The Refine Heaven Ancestor wore a look of shock, "What exactly is this power?"

Just now he could have seized a thread of the World Tree's power!

Just as the Refine Heaven Ancestor was about to rise, Lu Xuan's figure suddenly appeared before him, and he threw a punch.

"Boom!"

Within this punch surged terrifying martial dao power.

A golden ocean burst forth from above his fist.

A huge fist imprint directly slammed onto the Refine Heaven Ancestor's chest, like mountains crushing down.

Instantly blood burst forth!

The Refine Heaven Ancestor's chest directly appeared a huge blood hole.

"You……"

His vitality became extremely scattered, instantly aging greatly, and he continuously spat blood from his mouth.

Lu Xuan's punch nearly obliterated him!

If not for the World Tree's power giving him vitality, he would have already fallen!

Seeing this scene, many elders and disciples of the Flame God Sect were stunned in place.

No one expected Lu Xuan to be this strong!

Even as strong as the Refine Heaven Ancestor, he couldn't withstand even a single move from Lu Xuan.

The ancestor actually dared to challenge Lu Xuan to a duel?

Isn't this just seeking death?

Lu Xuan lightly said, "It's over."

The Refine Heaven Ancestor's eyes burst with endless will to survive, his gaze turning extremely sharp, "No! It's not over yet!"

His killing intent surged to the heavens!

"Boom!"

The Refine Heaven Ancestor's hand seal shifted, and he slapped the ground; his flesh began to melt, turning into specks of starlight, not disappearing but directly merging his Dao foundation into the Main Star.

Taking the Main Star as his body!

For a moment, the Refine Heaven Ancestor, aided by the World Tree's power, reforged his flesh; with a boom, the entire Main Star continually shifted, and an immensely ferocious spirit-fire giant slowly rose.

Lu Xuan watched all this with a calm face, waving his hand at the True Martial Primordial Ancestor and the others.

"Retreat!"

Ji Fuyao lifted her jade hand lightly.

In an instant, everyone directly withdrew from this realm of heaven and earth!

Meanwhile, the Refine Heaven Ancestor's body continued to swell.

"Lu Xuan, you forced me to this!"

"Today, everyone must stay!"

"I never wanted to kill you! This is your own doing, seeking death!"

Heaven-Refining Ancestor's body towered to the heavens, having evolved from within the Main Star; its skull alone was as vast as a great domain, and fierce flames burned in its two eyes, like two fire abysses.

This is his ultimate trump card!

I never expected it to be forced out by Lu Xuan!

His Heaven-Refining Secret Technique had long refined the countless nearby stars, then, drawing on the World Tree branch's power, over endless ages tempered the stars; his Great Dao power had already blanketed the Main Star and other stars.

This is his true strength!

"Boom—boom—boom!"

Torrential flames kept burning, countless stars continually shattered and then recombined, becoming the Heaven-Refining Ancestor's chest, thighs, arms, and hips.

But the elders and disciples on those stars kept crying out in misery.

They too were burned by the heaven-reaching spiritual fire and then became part of the Heaven-Refining Ancestor.

"Ancestor, save us!"

"Ancestor, don't be so ruthless!"

"Ancestor..."

But the Heaven-Refining Ancestor ignored them.

The entire Flame God Sect existed to serve him; those elders and disciples were merely his nourishment, and now that they have been refined, it is all Lu Xuan's fault.

The Heaven-Refining Ancestor gave a cold snort: "If you hold a grudge, blame Lu Xuan! Without Lu Xuan, you wouldn't die today!"

Lu Xuan wore a puzzled expression.

Is the Heaven-Refining Ancestor still a person?

He somehow ended up carrying a huge black pot for no reason!

But the many elders and disciples began cursing the Heaven-Refining Ancestor.

"Ancestor, I fuck you, immortal plank plank!"

"You won't die a good death!"

"You'll also follow in our dust!"

The Heaven-Refining Ancestor gave a cold snort, ignored those elders and disciples, let them be refined, then with a single palm strike launched a killing blow at Lu Xuan.

"Lu Xuan, you once could summon a trace of the World Tree's power! The World Tree branch here has already been refined by me! If you've got the guts, come and contest—let's see who can truly command the World Tree's power!"

This is his last reliance!

Using the World Tree's power to annihilate Lu Xuan and wipe out everyone here!

Lu Xuan laughed outright, slowly opened his right hand, a thought moved, and he said to the Heaven-Refining Ancestor's body, "Come out!"

The Heaven-Refining Ancestor gave a cold laugh: "Dream on!"

But in the next instant.

In Lu Xuan's hand directly appeared a jade-green branch.

The Heaven-Refining Ancestor froze outright, "This is…"

In a moment, the power on the Heaven-Refining Ancestor's body kept weakening.

Its originally immensely swollen body could also begin to disintegrate.

His vitality began to ebb!

There was a force of extraction!

The Heaven-Refining Ancestor looked at Lu Xuan with shock: "You've taken the World Tree branch from within my body!"
