Chapter 107: The Tyrant Body Xuan Ming

When Xu Lie was calling friends and companions, his heroic spirit soaring to the clouds.

Beside him, there were also one or two friends who sent out warning signals.

On another Star Sky Ancient Road, someone was crossing a terrifying Great Calamity, suspected to be the Overlord Xuan Ming from the Ba Ti Zujing.

"Dao Friend, the Overlord Xuan Ming has always acted in a tyrannical and cruel manner; you had best be more careful."

"Indeed, the Cang Tian Ba Ti lineage has always regarded the Holy Body as an unprecedented great enemy; it's possible they have already targeted you."

These two were steady-acting people; they reminded Xu Lie out of goodwill.

Overlord Xuan Ming?

Xu Lie naturally knew of this person; he was the most outstanding Heaven's Pride figure among this generation's Cang Tian Ba Ti.

In fact.

When he first heard this person's title on the Star Sky Ancient Road, he was naturally rather wary.

Because the enmity between the Huang Gu Holy Body lineage and the Cang Tian Ba Ti lineage has existed since ancient times; they are undoubtedly destined enemies.

But as for the origin of the hatred at the very beginning, it can probably no longer be verified.

The world only transmits rumors: in the endless ages past, the Ba Ti clan produced a Supreme who killed several Quasi-Emperors in the Universe, claiming to be invincible under the Starry Sky Below, about to Prove the Dao, yet was killed by a Great Perfection Holy Body.

Of course, later that Great Perfection Holy Body also died; he failed to Prove the Dao and fell in the Universe Borderlands.

Some even say it involved the God War of the Great Emperor Ancient Heavenly Court.

But up to now, the era is truly too distant; who knows how many Ancient Texts or secret histories have perished in the river of time.

And the most recent Saint and Tyrant Conflict was already nearly a hundred thousand years ago.

That time, the Great Perfection Holy Body defeated the Great Perfection Ba Ti of the same era, continuing the Holy Body lineage's glory, while also letting the Ba Ti Zujing fall silent for tens of thousands of years.

However, in this current era, the Ba Ti lineage ultimately still gave birth to a Peerless monster rare since ancient times.

This person is named Xuan Ming; he acts decisively, incomparably cold and ruthless, even to the point of being called cruel.

But he happens to be startlingly talented, his talent covering the world; since his debut he has rapidly broken many mythical records of the Ba Ti lineage.

His years are not many, yet he has already beaten all opponents across the myriad Domains invincible, successively defeating countless Heaven's Pride of the Universe's major powerful clans; even many old-generation experts could not withstand his sharp edge.

Later, his fame became resounding; he reigned supreme over hundreds of Star Domains, and was called Overlord Xuan Ming.

Afterwards, Xuan Ming, like Xu Lie, stepped onto the Star Sky Ancient Road, hoping to touch the opportunity for Ba Ti Great Perfection.

Finally, the two encountered each other on a certain Star Sky Ancient Road.

Destined enemies meeting, eyes especially red with hatred.

Two tigers contending, there must be one injury; the two swore to decide a victor.

After a Blood Battle, the Holy Body lineage's Xu Lie ultimately still defeated Overlord Xuan Ming, suppressing him.

If not for Xuan Ming having a Supreme Forbidden Artifact from the Ba Ti Zujing inside his body, which rushed out at the Critical Moment, wrapping Xuan Ming to Escape, the outcome would be even harder to predict.

This battle also further increased Xu Lie's confidence.

I soar freely above the heavens; since his debut, Xu Lie has also had life-and-death great battles, but most were smooth victories, making him more and more confident.

And especially later.

On the Star Sky Ancient Road, a shocking piece of news spread.

Perhaps due to his Dao Heart suffering some setbacks, Overlord Xuan Ming lost again; he lost at the hands of a Heavenly Demon Body originating from the Burial Emperor Star!

"This..."

Xu Lie, hearing this news, had a somewhat complex expression.

Because Heavenly Demon Bodies were all his defeated subordinates, yet the Overlord actually lost to a Heavenly Demon Body!

He originally thought Xuan Ming might be the great enemy of his destiny, but never expected this person looked somewhat useless.

This made the originally extremely rough and bold, even to the point of being called careless Xu Lie, basically no longer put Overlord Xuan Ming in his eyes.

His target became other, even stronger opponents.

Even, he aspired to, after the Luan Gu Great Emperor's Dao Marks dissipate, Prove the Dao and Become Emperor!

Having this kind of Dao Heart, originally speaking, should be a good thing.

But unfortunately, Xu Lie underestimated this person Xuan Ming's ruthlessness and hatred.

As a member of the Cang Tian Ba Blood lineage, losing to the Huang Gu Holy Body Xu Lie is an unforgivable great humiliation; if he cannot wash away the shame, he would rather sever himself from the ancestors upon the ancestral star.

Because for him, this matter involves too much; it concerns the ancestors' honor and disgrace, and also concerns the superiority of the two bloodlines.

And conversely, on the other side, Xu Lie.

Perhaps because the journey so far has been very smooth, plus his innate personality, although he also has this awareness, he lacks sufficient vigilance toward Xuan Ming.

Finally.

After enduring hundreds of years of extreme Bitter Cultivation, Xuan Ming ultimately still crossed the Great Calamity, becoming a Great Perfection Ba Ti; the destined battle will finally arrive.

This day.

On the Star Sky Ancient Road, Xu Lie, who had recently achieved Holy Body Great Perfection, already knew the news of Xuan Ming's Great Perfection.

He also finally sensed, throughout the entire Star Universe, that unusual Qi mechanism, like a storm approaching, yet also seeming to carry some cruelty and suffering.

Without doubt, this Qi mechanism comes from the Great Perfection Ba Ti Xuan Ming, influencing the Great Dao laws of many Star Domains.

This generation's Great Perfection Ba Ti, whether due to his growth environment, or his previous miserable defeats to the Heavenly Demon Body, Xu Lie, etc., acts with exceptional cruelty, even to the point of being called torture; among all historical Great Perfection Ba Ti, it is extremely rare.

Xu Lie, learning of these circumstances, even with his carefree personality, felt a sense of urgency.

Between Saint and Tyrant, there must be a battle.

He seemed to see a future blood-soaked scene.

And the arrival of this day was not long in coming.

In the Bian Huang Xing Kong.

A figure coughed up blood in great mouthfuls, fleeing desperately while throwing various Forbidden Artifacts behind him.

This was a good friend of Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie; the two shared a like-minded personality and an unbreakable bond, truly like-minded comrades.

But now, his appearance was miserable beyond compare; the lower half of his body was gone, turned into a pulp of flesh.

Pursuing him from behind was precisely Dacheng Ba Ti Xuan Ming, who was currently laughing wildly and ferociously, intending to kill him in this dead land.

If not for the numerous life-saving Forbidden Artifacts on Xu Lie's friend, and his cultivation having reached a certain height, he would have long since perished under Xuan Ming's Heavenly Knife.

In fact.

Xuan Ming did not seem to be in a hurry to kill him either.

It could be seen that he not only exceptionally enjoyed the pleasure of a cat toying with a mouse, but also seemed to have another purpose.

Otherwise, this pursuit would have ended long ago.

And finally.

Xu Lie's friend could persist no longer.

All the supreme treasures for preserving his life on him had already been sacrificed, and he himself had nearly reached the end of his rope; even though he had once, by a great opportunity, cultivated the Roc Heart Method, which was said to be not much weaker than the Line Character Secret, he could not sustain it any longer.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Xuan Ming sacrificed the Heavenly Knife, once more severing half of his opponent's body, eliciting a miserable scream that shook several Star Domains.

Causing a High-Level Quasi-Emperor to let out such a miserable cry, one can see the terror of this killing move.

Only because within Xuan Ming's weapon there carried the Ba Ti lineage's unique violent and domineering Qi mechanism; once it hit, supreme Great Dao laws would spread and expand in the wound, not inferior to a Forbidden Zone Supreme in the slightest.

Watching.

Xuan Ming was about to shatter his opponent's Immortal Platform, to completely exterminate him.

His eyes were cold and ruthless, bearing the indifference of ten thousand ages, as if slaughtering an insignificant prey.

But faintly, within his pupils there seemed to be a thread of cold gloom, as if disappointed at not having waited for the person he was waiting for.

But the next moment.

Hum!

A Primordial Heaven Treasure Wheel broke through the void, appearing on this battlefield, blocking Dacheng Ba Ti Xuan Ming's sure-kill strike.

That was Xu Lie, across the endless starry sky, throwing out his own Supreme Soldier to save his friend.

As expected, he came!

Xuan Ming grinned, revealing white, forest-like teeth, somewhat awe-inspiring!

And he did not give up his killing move.

Even though his own Heavenly Knife clashed head-on with the Primordial Heaven Treasure Wheel, he still reached out with a large hand, directly seizing the head of Xu Lie's heavily injured friend.

At such a close distance, it looked like he would succeed!

Critical moment.

Xu Lie disregarded his own condition, burned his essence blood, took one step out, forcibly rushed to the center of the battlefield, and stretched out his hand to intercept this strike.

Bang!

With the prepared striking the unprepared, Dacheng Ba Ti Xuan Ming's apparent target was the person he was pursuing, but in reality it was Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie.

At this moment, both his fists struck out together, releasing boundless mighty power, pouring it all onto Xu Lie's back.

A single move alone injured Xu Lie, causing blood to overflow from the corner of his mouth; this result shocked him.

The fact was already very obvious: even if Xuan Ming took some advantage, his combat power was still above Xu Lie's!

Because at their realm, whatever battle methods, techniques, ultimately still fall upon true combat power.

This was an inauspicious beginning; from the start it brought a bloody light and shadow to Xu Lie's life-and-death decisive battle, and also cast a shadow over the hearts of his several friends at endless distance.

But Xu Lie ultimately still saved his friend.

Bearing his own injuries, he sent his friend out of the battlefield!

This scene moved Xu Lie's several friends in the starry sky beyond the battlefield's periphery, at endless distance, to tears, even bringing hot tears to the brim of their eyes.

Even though his personality was sometimes overly rough and bold, refusing advice, appearing somewhat careless and boisterous.

He was still, in the end, that Holy Body of the human race with a bright and upright heart.

Whether toward friends or other ordinary cultivators, he was always open and aboveboard; his deeds shone upon all living beings.

And now.

He finally faced the hereditary enemy of his own lineage, and from the start suffered no light injuries, seemingly at a disadvantage.

This could not help but worry the majority of people watching from the battlefield's periphery!

But that was all; their strength differed too greatly, even at endless distance they had to be extremely careful, otherwise a single strand of the battle's aftermath could heavily injure them, even kill them.

"Holy Body, you've finally come to deliver yourself to death?"

Beneath the starry sky, Dacheng Ba Ti Xuan Ming stood tall, like a demon god walked out of the Hong Huang, his gaze cold and ruthless beyond compare, and bearing a transcendent confidence.

"It seems you are very confident; I only hope you won't be like last time."

Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie wiped away the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth, then circulated a secret art to heal his injuries.

Though his heart was faintly on guard, his mouth was calm and composed, slowly returning the retort to his opponent.

This reply actually held some deeper meaning.

Because the last time the two exchanged blows, Xuan Ming, still the Overlord, had similar rhetoric; pity he was beaten into a crushing defeat and returned.

If not for the restriction set in his body by his Ba Ti Ancestor, whether he could have escaped alive was still uncertain.

Sure enough.

Hearing these words, Xuan Ming's face darkened, his gaze cold and ruthless beyond compare.

He was born on the Ba Ti Zujing, and was one of the most powerful Heaven's Prides in the history of this lineage; since his debut he had always been undefeated in battle, unrestrained and peerless.

This also let him establish an invincible Dao Heart for a time!

However, after arriving on the Star Sky Ancient Road, he was defeated in succession by the Heavenly Demon Body and the Hugu Holy Body from the Beidou Ancient Star, and moreover suffered crushing defeats.

Especially losing to the Hugu Holy Body of his sworn enemy's lineage made it even more unacceptable to him.

But with his innately domineering and powerful nature, he not only hated others, he was even more ruthless toward himself.

Over hundreds of years, he underwent bitter cultivation unimaginable to ordinary people, endured terrifying trials, and forcibly walked out of the heart demon from that battle, ultimately achieving Dacheng in his Tyrant Body.

This time he returned, it was to wash away his humiliation!

To make the Holy Body lineage's sworn enemy also taste the boundless suffering he had endured these years!

In the boundless starry sky.

Dacheng Tyrant Body Xuan Ming adjusted his condition, bringing his Spirit, Energy, Mind to an absolute peak of his own being, challenging Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie!

In this battle, Xuan Ming went to extremes in his frenzy, his battle intent soaring to a terrifying height.

His gaze was bloodthirsty, like a violent fierce beast walked out of the mythological era, trading life for life, blood for blood with Xu Lie — a fighting style that completely disregarded his own injuries and death.

This situation greatly shocked Xu Lie.

A scholar parted for three days should be looked at with new eyes.

He never in a million years expected that Xuan Ming, this defeated subordinate, this opponent whom he had defeated without much effort even when the latter used all his trump cards back then, would today actually dare reach such heights, even almost employing a mutually assured destruction battle method.

This caught Xu Lie somewhat off guard, and put him at a disadvantage.

And this still wasn't the most important thing.

The most important thing was, Xu Lie underestimated Dacheng Tyrant Body Xuan Ming's cruelty, and the bone-deep hatred in his heart!

In the later stages of the great battle.

Xuan Ming employed forbidden methods, decomposing and recombining various divine forms, the most suitable for his own body, not counted as purely divine forms, fusing laws, the evolution of the battle body, all methods combined together, transforming into another kind of creature.

The Tyrant Body lineage's Ancestral Body!

This was a thorough and complete monster, extremely terrifying and awe-inspiring, making everyone feel a bloodthirsty fear!

Dragon head, snake tail, White Tiger claws, Feng Chi, Qilin Armor, Xuanwu back... gathering the strengths of various kinds in one body, supremely hard and strong, indestructible.

Once this Tyrant Body Ancestral Body manifests, even Heaven and Earth send down vast Thunder Tribulation.

Obviously.

This is a supremely terrifying divine form, which once committed boundless killing tribulations, naturally carrying the great sins of blood and fire.

Therefore, even the Upper Heaven cannot tolerate it, sending down Wan Gu Lei Ting, each bolt stretching dozens of millions of zhang or even vaster, to suppress and kill the Tyrant Body Ancestral Body.

However.

The current Xuan Ming has already grown strong to a certain height.

He not only does not fear this heavenly punishment in the slightest, but instead guides various Thunder Dragons into his body, tempering his own form.

Simultaneously, he also unleashes various forbidden secret techniques, even his Mei Shen shines brilliantly, as if a star blazed there, dazzling, pressing down this region of starry sky.

Under this prestige, every inch of Xuan Ming's body releases energy, every cell is a Jin Zang Men, his Tyrant Blood boils, boundless Divine Rules surge through the Ba Huang.

"Kill!"

With a sky-surgeing killing intent roar, he suppressed and killed downward toward Xu Lie.

This scene, combined with Xuan Ming's evil ghost demon god-like Ancestral Body form, can be said to have reached the pinnacle of terror!

This moment.

Across endless distance, the surrounding cultivators watching the battle felt their bodies crack, sensing an supremely ferocious bloodthirsty killing Qi mechanism.

And Xu Lie, bearing the brunt, naturally welcomed the most violent slaughter.

As a Dacheng Holy Body, even though he had only recently entered this realm, he naturally would not show weakness, going all out, his Dao power operating to the limit, supporting the Holy Body Vision.

Immortal King Descends Nine Heavens, Three Thousand Great Worlds...

The Holy Body lineage secret arts obtained from the Holy Emperor Stone Stele were also activated to the utmost, engaging in a life-and-death duel with Xuan Ming.

This is not only a clash of Dao arts, but a great showdown of physical bodies, and simultaneously a collision of their respective weapons!

Both sides possess equally unrivaled physical bodies, Qi and Blood surging to the heavens, hence the fight is exceptionally bloodthirsty and cruel.

Right from the start it was head-on hard collision, no flowery probing or maneuvering whatsoever.

"Chi..."

A great battle of this cultivation level, desperate and bloody, as the two supreme figures continuously engaged in great collisions, roars filled the air, and precious Treasure Blood sprinkled down in the starry sky.

There was Holy Body Xu Lie's golden blood, and also Tyrant Body Xuan Ming's purple Treasure Blood.

This is undoubtedly supreme divine medicine; obtaining any single drop can help others extend their Lifespan, even wash marrow and refine essence.

But not a single person dared step deep onto the battlefield to pluck even a drop, none dared bring fire upon themselves, inviting death.

Bang bang bang!

After several violent great collisions, the two figures let out muffled groans, each flying backward.
