Chapter 18

Universe Borderlands.

The Undying Daoist stood towering in the starry sky.

His face was indifferent, his gaze profound, as if an Immortal Domain were emerging within his pupils, terrifying beyond measure.

The aura of a Flawless Emperor covered the sky and blanketed the earth, shaking the entire Universe.

In this instant, his thoughts returned to the moment after he proved the Dao in the Mythological Era.

Although he was the Undying Heavenly Emperor's Divine Self Body, he also inherited the main body's memories and thoughts.

"What a wonderful feeling! What a pity..."

"Since you forced me to this step, compensate with your flesh, blood, and Primordial Spirit."

The Undying Daoist stood in the starry sky like a Demon God, his gaze bloodthirsty.

Looking down on Gu Xuan, his pupils seemed to already regard him as Blood Food.

Treating a Great Accomplishment Holy Body as food — what a terrifying scene this is!

The Universe's major powerful clans caught sight of this scene, and not a single one failed to feel their hair stand on end!

"Then let's see if you have the life to come take it."

Gu Xuan's face was indifferent, not showing a trace of anger.

But he also deeply knew that he had encountered the most terrifying enemy of his life.

Although over these years he had exhausted his mind and tried every possible method to make all kinds of preparations.

The facts also proved that the trump cards he prepared played a major role.

Even until now, he still had trump cards he had not used.

But when he truly fought him, he only then deeply experienced the ultimate terror of a Flawless Great Emperor!

Truly, in heaven and on earth, I alone am honored!

Perhaps no matter how many trump cards he had, they would be powerless to turn the tide.

Nothing more to say; the Supreme Extreme Sublimation's time is limited, and the two's great battle erupted right then!

The Undying Heavenly Saber was sacrificed.

In one step he killed his way before Gu Xuan, surpassing the restrictions of time and space.

The Heavenly Saber slashed down, the Ten Thousand Daos wailed.

This saber was too sharp, capable of severing past, present, and future!

Gu Xuan finally sacrificed the Sun Stone Pagoda, meeting the Heavenly Saber head-on.

The Pagoda Body suppressed downward, endless Sun Immortal Essence surged, Chaos overflowed, as if to suppress the azure heavens of ten thousand ages.

Clang!

The two Imperial Weapons collided, erupting with light that startled Immortals, like the Great Dao light of the world's initial opening!

Endless Chaos collapsed and reorganized, Heaven and Earth were a blur.

"Hmph! The Sun Holy Emperor's weapon? Even if he himself came, what of it!"

The Undying Daoist shouted loudly, his words filled with ultimate dominance and confidence.

He was the Ten Thousand Races' Supreme God's Divine Self Body, had once acted on its behalf to govern the Eight Wastes of the Universe, looking down on the Nine Heavens Ten Earths, so naturally he would not acknowledge any other Great Emperor or Ancient Emperor as stronger than him.

Cannot deny, Gu Xuan's body cracked, injured by the saber light.

Nearly injured his Immortal Platform; fortunately he avoided it at the critical moment.

It was not that the Sun Holy Emperor's Imperial Weapon was inadequate.

Rather, Gu Xuan had indeed not yet achieved the Dao; a gap existed.

He also experienced the heaven-defying nature of the All Word Secret!

A certain probability of triggering, tenfold Combat Power increase!

Now having reached Gu Xuan's realm, especially at this kind of life-and-death juncture, the probability of him triggering it had already greatly increased.

Precisely because of this, he was able to battle a Flawless Ancient Emperor until now.

Otherwise, he would have long since perished!

The Great Accomplishment Holy Body, ultimately, is merely able to rival a Great Emperor.

Truly facing a Flawless Great Emperor, without special means, one will ultimately die in battle.

Passively taking a beating is not Gu Xuan's style.

During the desperate struggle, he exhibited all his Secret Techniques.

Six Paths Reincarnation Fist, Struggle Word Secret, Travel Word Secret, All Word Secret, Visions, etc., deployed one by one, without the slightest reservation.

All kinds of Chaos Dao Principles surged toward the opponent with reckless abandon, killing intent drowning him.

Even with the Undying Daoist's Flawless Imperial Body, he was knocked back multiple times, his body cracking open.

And Gu Xuan's injuries were even more severe; his Holy Body shattered several times, too miserable to behold.

If not for the Eternal Word Secret, and having taken the Undying Divine Medicine Fruit beforehand, he would have fallen on the spot.

However, he also had gains.

In this process, he comprehended while fighting a blood battle; the Undying Daoist's Saber Intent had already surpassed the category of technique, nearing the Dao.

This was a qualitative improvement for his combat awareness.

Only because the Undying Daoist's main body is one of the strongest of ancient times, the Undying Heavenly Emperor!

Another Side.

The Undying Daoist's face changed.

He finally understood Gu Xuan's battle method.

That is — trading Blood Qi for Blood Qi, even if Combat Power is slightly lacking, whoever stands longer laughs last!

"Trying to stall for time?"

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

At this moment, countless stars in the surrounding star domains instantly dimmed, and boundless immortal essence poured into his mouth like long rainbows piercing the sun.

Everyone watching through the formation arrays was horrified.

"So this is an Ancient Venerable of the Imperial Path? With a single breath the star domains change color — this is too terrifying!"

Bu Si Dao Ren joined his hands in a void gesture, formed seals, and cast a secret technique.

Requiring a Great Emperor to cast it — what a terrifying killing move this would be!

The next moment.

Hum—

The Five-Colored Heavenly Knife was sacrificed.

A supreme knife intent that connected heaven and earth instantly permeated Yu Nei!

Covering sky and earth, incomparably sharp!

In this Universe Borderlands, every speck of dust seemed tainted with strands of knife intent Qi.

This was a slash empowered by the Immortal Phoenix's Five Elements, surrounded by immortal light, peerlessly sharp, with attack power unparalleled in the world!

The knife radiance sliced through Eternal!

Surpassing everyone's understanding, perhaps even including the Forbidden Zone Supremes.

Carrying the destructive power of the Immortal Dao, it came to ambush kill!

Gu Xuan's face had long since changed color!

He could no longer care about anything else, forced to sacrifice the damaged Bronze Cauldron again, guarding his body, resisting the knife intent.

Chi!

The Bronze Cauldron was unharmed, but Gu Xuan nearly died body and soul.

His body exploded into blood mist; if not for the Bronze Cauldron, his Immortal Platform would surely have shattered as well.

It wasn't that the Emperor Venerable's immortal artifact was ineffective, but that it was truly flawed.

And Bu Si Dao Ren's Heavenly Will slash was too sharp, its skill shocking the Cosmos!

The existences in the Forbidden Zone all fell silent; only after a very long time did someone speak.

"Worthy of that person's Divine Self Body — truly terrifying, not beneath us."

"This knife intent has neared War Immortal; indeed hard to deal with, capable of suppressing and killing an Imperial Path Supreme."

……

Gu Xuan spat out essence blood from his mouth, transforming it into a Blood Body Substitute.

After barely blocking Bu Si Dao Ren, he hurriedly activated the 'Zhe' Character Secret to heal his injuries.

At this critical juncture of life and death.

He even activated the 'Jie' Character Secret to assist the 'Zhe' Character Secret, and his body's recovery speed increased greatly.

Bu Si Dao Ren obviously could not let him have his way.

The Heavenly Knife roamed vertically and horizontally, repeatedly destroying Gu Xuan's healing.

At the critical moment, the Sun Stone Pagoda automatically recovered, blocking several fatal ambush kills.

And the pagoda also shattered in many places, falling to the disadvantage.

This was not because Taiyang Sheng Huang's Imperial Weapon was weaker than the Undying Heavenly Knife.

Rather, with an Imperial Weapon's body, it hard-blocked a flawless Ancient Emperor; such performance was already heaven-shaking!

At the critical moment, Gu Xuan finally recovered more than half.

He struck out with both fists horizontally, striking the Undying Heavenly Knife, shocking Bu Si Dao Ren into retreat.

Then he recalled the Sun Stone Pagoda into his body.

The pagoda was the continuation of Taiyang Sheng Huang's will, supremely benevolent and brave like him; Gu Xuan no longer regarded it as a mere weapon, but as a comrade.

This was a desperate struggle, even the Imperial Weapon wanting to fight desperately.

Gu Xuan had already killed into madness; battle intent overflowed from every pore of his, like a Mad War Immortal.

Because of this he suffered heavy injuries many times.

Especially when the 'Jie' Character Secret failed, it was extremely dangerous; his body shattered several times, blood like waterfalls.

Several more times he sacrificed the Imperial Dao Puppet or essence blood as substitutes.

Otherwise, his Primordial Spirit would inevitably be severed — absolutely no survival.

For him, this was a nine-deaths-one-life struggle; the slightest carelessness would mean his fall!

And this fearless battle intent even made Bu Si Dao Ren feel a bit unnerved.

He finally felt some anxiety in his heart.

He had originally thought that after returning to the Imperial Dao Fruit position, he would win quickly.

But he never expected the opponent to be this hard to deal with; not to mention Qi and Blood not seeming aged, all sorts of attack methods kept emerging endlessly, not limited to the Holy Body lineage's Six Paths Reincarnation Fist.

His Extreme Sublimation time was limited, already difficult to sustain for too long.
