Chapter 111: Destination of the Treasure Wheel Holy Body, Another Existence Emerges

~16 min read 3,010 words

Clang clang clang!

From Xuan Ming's Lunhai, another one hundred and eight Tyrant Knives flew out, arranging into another Peerless Knife Array.

This is the Tyrant Body lineage's Supreme Array; in the past it had repeatedly severely injured opponents, including the Dacheng Holy Body of the ancient era.

And Xuan Ming was startlingly talented; on this basis he innovated further, and he also obtained the Group Character Secret.

The two Great Arrays combined together were not a simple addition, but multiplied their power many times over, absolutely lethal without limit, leaving one with death but no life.

"Did you think I didn't know you would come?"

Xuan Ming spoke coldly, activating the Knife Array to shoot down at Xu Lie; every strike was peerlessly sharp, destroying all that stood before it.

And his own aura also surged violently; whether Qi and Blood or Combat Power, all surpassed the previous battle by a great margin.

In the end.

He once again manifested the Tyrant Body Ancestral Body, like a ferocious Demon God, Combat Power shocking the heavens, and terrifyingly awe-inspiring!

Obviously.

These years he had also long been prepared for Xu Lie's possible return.

This time, with his Dacheng Tyrant Body reaching the Absolute Peak Combat Power, aided by the Peerless Killing Array, he aimed only to thoroughly exterminate this arch-enemy Xu Lie, not letting him have any possibility of escape again.

However.

Since Xu Lie dared to reappear, he naturally had sufficient confidence.

"Boom!"

Boundless divine light erupted from his whole body, propping up the Holy Body Vision Immortal King Descends Nine Heavens; his whole person was like a golden War God.

Within that killing array, his figure had already reached a certain height, rushing through the array, traversing space as he moved.

This is the supreme mystery of the Walking Character Secret.

This is the Nine Heavenly Venerables' array patterns opposing each other from the past, Walking Character Secret opposing Group Character Secret, carried out by the later generation's Dacheng Holy Body and Dacheng Tyrant Body.

The result also showed this was an evenly matched confrontation.

The Peerless Killing Array, though sharp, still could not injure the Holy Body that was fast to the extreme.

Seeing this scene, Xuan Ming was slightly disappointed in his heart, yet his face showed not the slightest ripple.

If the killing array could add flowers to brocade, even better; if not, relying on his own absolute Combat Power to suppress, he was also confident he could suppress and kill the opponent.

But the next moment.

Boom!

The two people clashed in one exchange; this was the Six Paths Reincarnation Fist against the Cangtian Tyrant Fist, and also the ultimate manifestation of the two people's Combat Power.

The result was very cruel.

Xuan Ming's body flew horizontally, coughing large mouthfuls of blood, even his arms had broken bones and severed tendons, a wreck, this was a miserable scene.

And on the other side Xu Lie, though also staggering back with blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, had ultimately steadied his steps, only his complexion slightly pale.

Obviously.

In this most direct violent clash, the Holy and Tyrant had determined superiority.

"How is this possible?"

Xuan Ming, disregarding his injuries and operating a secret technique to recover, simultaneously had eyes full of incredulity, not daring to believe he was at a disadvantage in this kind of clash.

The opponent who in the past was almost refined by him into a flesh and blood Weapon, now actually returned, and even reached such a height!

This couldn't help but cast a shadow over Xuan Ming's heart.

Could it be he would again, like those Tyrant Body seniors in Ancient History, become a backdrop for the Saint and Tyrant Conflict?

Since the Mythological Era, in the confrontations between the two great arch-enemies, the Tyrant Body has always had difficulty achieving anything too outstanding.

The rare few cases are only Canglan Ancestor defeating an elderly Dacheng Holy Body, and the recent Xuan Ming defeating Xu Lie.

Among the world, most also thought Xu Lie had already perished.

Who knew, today he actually reappeared in the world!

Xuan Ming was unwilling!

Ding ding ding!

Taking advantage of the gap where the one hundred and eight Tyrant Knives dragged Xu Lie, Xuan Ming took out a treasure bottle, twisted open the stopper, and poured it into his mouth.

Inside was fresh red Treasure Blood, crimson mist gorgeous, life Essence Qi soaring to the sky.

That was Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie's blood!

In the previous great battle, it was extracted by Xuan Ming with cruel methods and refined, only then did this bottle of supreme Treasure Blood exist.

Even for existences of their Cultivation Level, it is a supreme great medicine, letting Xuan Ming replenish quite a lot of Essence Qi.

Needless to say, this naturally made Xu Lie's pupils contract tightly.

But it only stopped at this; just some essence blood of the past.

He survived and was ultimately able to return, that was already rare; now only calmly facing it is the wisest choice.

The great battle continued.

Xu Lie ultimately did not live up to the years spent at the Holy Cliff Dao Chang.

With a Holy Emperor crowning past, present, and future giving guidance, he completely had no reason to lose to the Cangtian Tyrant Blood lineage.

Finally.

Xu Lie destroyed withered and pulled rotten; Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, Walking Character Secret, All Character Secret and various secret techniques all came out.

He forcibly shattered the Peerless Killing Array including the one hundred and eight Tyrant Knives, with the Peerless Holy Fist hard-clashing the Tyrant Body, striking him until four or five parts split.

And he himself was also quite heavily injured, Shen Ti covered in wounds, deep enough to reveal bone, but compared to Xuan Ming was still much better.

In the starry sky, blood splattered everywhere, mostly the Tyrant Body lineage's purple blood; obviously Xuan Ming was nearly dead.

This is a desperate scene.

Through various Source Heaven arrays, people witnessed the world-shaking scene of the Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie bathing in Ba blood and going mad.

But Supremes are hard to kill, especially once they reach existences of their cultivation level — it is impossible to kill them with a single strike.

Although Xuan Ming's physical body was destroyed, just as Xu Lie had encountered in the past, his Primordial Spirit still escaped the calamity, shifting horizontally at extreme speed.

However, the time left to him was not much either.

Both understood that the two sides were already in a life-and-death struggle; they shattered the Heavens, fighting from the Border Wilderness Star Domain to another domain, battling until the star sea dimmed and the sun and moon lost their luster.

Time flew by, and finally the most critical moment arrived.

Xuan Ming roared continuously, yet could not conceal his perilous disadvantage; his Origin had been damaged too greatly, and he could no longer afford to endure.

He had also never felt as he did today, a premonition of his true end — even his life might not be saved; what a desolate sorrow this was.

At this moment, a great terror arose in his heart!

He had once been a generation's Supreme, with the Ten Thousand Races submitting — what a carefree life that was.

And his ambition did not stop there; as the ancient peerless strongest Heaven's Pride of the Cangtian Ba bloodline, he wanted one day to prove the Dao and become Emperor, even become Immortal, eternal and undying!

But all of this, it seemed, would today return to dust and earth.

Xuan Ming was extremely unwilling; his beautiful life had only just begun, it should not end like this!

Right at this critical moment.

From the direction of the Ba Ti Zujing, two supreme fluctuations attacked, their impact force utmost rigid and fierce, transcending the limits of time and space to arrive at the battlefield.

These were Xuan Ming's two seniors, Dacheng Ba Bodies Kungu and Canglan, acting with full force to stop Xu Lie from killing Xuan Ming.

And almost at the same instant.

From within Xu Lie's body, a stone stele rushed into the sky, immortal light shining, intercepting those two supreme fluctuations.

To outside observers, this looked like a Forbidden Artifact Xu Lie had painstakingly refined himself automatically activating.

In fact, for experts of their cultivation level, having such a Supreme Forbidden Weapon hidden in their bodies is a very common thing.

Only Xu Lie himself knew.

Inside the stone stele was a backhand left by the Holy Emperor — it had not only saved his Primordial Spirit in the past, but also helped him block the pincer attack of two other Dacheng Ba Bodies today.

And he tightly seized this opportunity, activating the Jie Character Secret again, combat power increased tenfold, aiming for a sure-kill strike.

Only to see divine light blaze around his body, Qi and blood surging like mountains roaring and seas howling, clearly his Dao power had revolved to the utmost.

And Xuan Ming opposite, seeing this scene, how could he not know his doom might truly have arrived?

He roared one last time, wanting to reorganize his True Body, but could not sustain it.

Chi!

Finally, Xuan Ming was torn apart one last time, even his Primordial Spirit chopped into ashes!

A generation's Dacheng Ba Body thus ended his life.

Before death a desolate sigh, filled with bleakness, filled with unwillingness, and filled with despair.

The whole world shook in shock!

Before this, the Ba Blood Supreme who was still high-spirited and pointing over Yu Nei, just like this blood splattered the starry sky — even his clan's Ba Ti Ancestor could not rescue him in time.

In the Universe, unknown how many people were first silent, then their thoughts diverged.

Some sighed: beyond people there are people, beyond mountains there are mountains; the cultivation road has many dry bones — even Supreme-level experts cannot avoid walking to a bleak dead end.

Some gritted their teeth in their hearts; not long ago they had paid an inestimable price to climb onto this high branch of Dacheng Ba Body Xuan Ming, yet never expected it would so quickly turn into a bubble...

And in the starry sky.

Xu Lie himself had also suffered not light injuries, but seemed to still have strength to spare.

"Roar..."

From the direction of the Ba Ti Zujing came the roars of Kungu and Canglan.

Xuan Ming's death caused their lineage to lose a junior Heaven's Pride with limitless future prospects — a truly heavy loss.

Originally with the two of them rescuing, preserving Xuan Ming's life was absolutely without worry.

For two ancient Dacheng Ba Bodies acting with full force — their divine might covers the world; generally speaking, it is absolutely something a mere Dacheng Holy Body cannot oppose.

Who knew, at that kind of critical moment, a terrifying immortal light would actually fly out from inside the Dacheng Holy Body.

By the time they wanted to act again, it was already too late — Xu Lie had already killed Xuan Ming!

And with matters having come to this, Kungu and Canglan could only helplessly stop.

Otherwise if they truly continued, it would very likely draw fire onto themselves.

There are still hundreds of thousands of years until the Immortal Path opens; the two of them actually also have the ambition to brave the Immortal Path, to exist eternally undying!

Just like that, a generation's Dacheng Ba Body Xuan Ming thus fell, ending his brief years of supremacy.

After the great battle ended.

Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie retrieved from a certain secret realm the small sect of his origin.

Everyone was safe and sound, not killed by Xuan Ming in resentment.

They all told Xu Lie that not long after he disappeared back then, a mysterious person transferred them away, avoiding the Ba Body lineage's liquidation.

As for who the mysterious person was, no one knew.

Because in this sect, the highest cultivation was only Saint Realm — fundamentally unable to see that benefactor's True Body.

And Xu Lie naturally knew who it was.

By now, he had long known that it was a Dao Body of the Holy Emperor manifesting.

However, he also did not speak much, for during those days at the Holy Cliff Dao Chang, he had already learned many things.

In the following hundreds of years, he always sat guarding this sect of his origin, doing many things.

First, he successively helped many elders and friends who had great grace toward him wash marrow and refine essence.

Not only did it greatly extend their lifespans, it also greatly enhanced their cultivation potential.

Among them was the old sage who had taken him to the Burial Emperor Star back then; originally advanced in years, his lifespan was nearly exhausted.

But under Xu Lie's efforts, he was restored like a withered tree meeting spring, gaining several thousand more years of lifespan, and perhaps in the future he might yet cultivate into a Great Saint!

For that old sage, it was nothing less than defying heaven and changing fate, bringing tears of joy to his eyes!

Second, Xu Lie also passed down peerless scriptures and preached the Dao many times within the sect, greatly flourishing this lineage.

Third, he left behind several supreme-grade weapons and set up an unparalleled supreme-grade great array, equivalent to creating an ancient aristocratic family out of nothing.

Of course, he did not forget the friends who had once helped him, including the lineages on the Beidou Star, such as the Qingyun Holy Land.

A drop of kindness is repaid with a gushing spring.

Xu Lie ultimately did not fail those who had helped him when he was weak.

Several hundred years later.

Xu Lie left the sect where he had been stationed.

And on the same day.

Qingyun Holy Land.

An ancient stone stele came from the depths of the starry sky, descended from the heavens, and returned once more to the depths of its ancestral grounds.

This naturally brought great joy to the entire Qingyun Holy Land!

Originally they thought that this holy object left by the Holy Emperor might never return with the Dacheng Holy Body.

Who would have thought that it would actually have this moment of return!

Setting aside that it was nearly an extreme Dao imperial weapon, with awe-inspiring imperial Dao pressure notwithstanding.

It was also a remembrance and a token left by the Holy Emperor Ancestor for the Qingyun Holy Land.

With its existence, perhaps if an ancient Holy Body appeared again in later generations, there would be a great possibility they would come to visit the Qingyun Holy Land, and at that time it would be another great opportunity.

For the entire Holy Land, this was a visible benefit!

And it was also a treasure of luck, able to bring endless luck to the entire sect, worthy of being called Purple Qi Comes from the East!

As for where the Dacheng Holy Body went, no one knew.

Only in the Sheng Ya Dao Chang in the star sea, there was one more gatekeeper.

And this also represented that the era of Dacheng Holy Body Xu Lie had come to a close.

In Xu Lie's view, being able to become the gatekeeper of the Holy Emperor's Dao Chang was a great fortune rarely found through the ages.

He would rather not be that so-called Dang Shi Zui Zun, but instead hold fast to his current choice.

Not to mention that here there was a divine aura that severed ages and suppressed the immortal, making it a peerless treasure ground for cultivation and enlightenment.

And even if the Sheng Ya Dao Chang were merely some desolate mountain or wild place, he would still closely follow the Holy Emperor's footsteps.

The reason for this, naturally, went without saying.

For a figure like the Holy Emperor, although Xu Lie could not fully perceive his true strength, because their realms were still far apart.

But he also vaguely felt that if one day he could become an immortal, it would most likely be because of following the Holy Emperor.

As for Gu Xuan.

At first, he was still somewhat surprised by Xu Lie's request.

The Treasure Wheel Holy Body from the original trajectory would become the guardian of his mountain gate?

But he also understood the other's intentions.

And Xu Lie, as a successor of the Ancient Holy Body lineage, had a bright heart and acted uprightly throughout his life, worthy of being called a glory to all living beings.

Such a person, becoming his comrade and comrade-in-arms, was absolutely trustworthy, and it was also an honor for him.

Therefore, Gu Xuan readily agreed to Xu Lie.

Just like that, one more Dacheng Holy Body gatekeeper was added to the Sheng Ya Dao Chang.

In Gu Xuan's view, the personnel configuration of his Dao Chang was somewhat like the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land.

Time flowed like water, years like a shuttle; in the blink of an eye, another four thousand years passed.

In the depths of the star sea.

On a majestic Dao Platform, Ten Thousand Daos Chaos Waterfalls cascaded down, and figures with indistinct Dao Rhyme sat cross-legged within.

If someone could look closely.

They would discover his hair was white as snow, his face weathered, and even his body was somewhat withered.

It was Gu Xuan; he had reached over twenty thousand years of age in his Third Life and was gradually entering old age!

Although in recent years he had been preparing for the road ahead and had achieved considerable results.

But the path of Red Dust Immortal was not always smooth, and he vaguely saw a corner of the dangers in the future.

"It seems it is time for you to appear."

Sitting cross-legged on the Dao Platform, Gu Xuan looked toward the direction of the Beidou Ancient Star, his gaze seeming to pierce through the endless starry sky.
