Chapter 243: The Wailing of Dishi Tian! Phoenix Blood in Hand!

The Sacred Heart Technique is a divine skill created by Dishi Tian over a thousand years by gathering myriad martial arts and phoenix blood; practitioners can not only achieve immortality, but even revive the dead!

At the pinnacle of cultivation, one can forge an indestructible diamond body, which meshes perfectly with Chu Yang's Dragon‑Elephant Bright King.

Among them are four ultimate killing moves, whose strangeness in the Fengyun world is rarely matched; they are called the Sacred Heart Four Calamities.

The Stunning Gaze Calamity can kill with a glance; the target must possess strong mental resolve to withstand it.

Killing with eye contact is an inconceivable ability in any world, and in the Fengyun world it can instantly slay most people.

The Corrupt Blood Calamity draws blood to draw blood, causing the opponent to bleed out; comparatively, it seems less absurd than the Stunning Gaze Calamity, yet in actual combat it is more valuable.

Those who can spar with Chu Yang already have comparable mental resolve, so the Stunning Gaze Calamity has limited effect and is suited for instantly killing some low‑level goons.

However, the Corrupt Blood Calamity is different; using Chu Yang's massive qi‑blood as a conduit, the enemy may instantly drain all blood—whether death or incapacitation hinges on a single thought of Chu Yang.

Similar to the Corrupt Blood Calamity is the Heavenly Heart Calamity, which activates almost identically, except it targets the heart.

It draws heart to heart, causing the opponent's heart to shatter.

The Sacred Heart Technique's immortality trait and rapid recovery ensure that practitioners won't be back‑fired when employing the Heavenly Heart Calamity.

Yet in Chu Yang's hands, the Corrupt Blood Calamity is more useful than the Heavenly Heart Calamity.

The most bizarre of the Sacred Heart Four Calamities is the final one.

The God‑Slaying Calamity! It uses one's primordial spirit as a weapon to strike the opponent's primordial spirit! Among Chu Yang's many arts, only one can attack an enemy's primordial spirit: Sword Twenty‑Three!

Aside from Temporal Stagnation, the two possess almost the same level of ability.

The formidable offensive methods, combined with the Sacred Heart Technique and phoenix blood's immortality, make Dishi Tian's combat power truly terrifying.

Even in a ranking of all characters in the Fengyun world, Dishi Tian's name would undoubtedly be near the top.

Unfortunately… he is too foolish.

In pursuit of the Five Thunder Extreme Hand, he fell into the Raging Wind Thunder's scheme, losing the phoenix blood within his body, causing his hard‑won Sacred Heart Technique to completely fail.

Rather than die in such a childish way, it would be better to offer Chu Yang some residual value.

The battle has reached its final critical moment.

With murderous intent seizing his mind, Dishi Tian begins to unleash the Sacred Heart Four Calamities.

His icy eyes, behind the demon‑mask, stare fixedly at Chu Yang's eyes, and a bizarre force erupts outward.

Stunning Gaze Calamity! Chu Yang stands unmoved, hard‑resisting the Stunning Gaze Calamity, unaffected in the slightest.

"Just so."

He retorts coldly.

The higher one's resolve, the stronger the mind, the less one is affected by the Stunning Gaze Calamity.

Dishi Tian startles sharply! More convinced that Chu Yang is an old monster, he immediately begins to trigger the Heavenly Heart Calamity.

His heart begins to pound violently, and Chu Yang, affected, feels his own heart race as well.

No matter what era's old monster you are, the body is still human; being human inevitably subjects you to the Heavenly Heart Calamity.

Thump thump thump!!! The two heartbeats instantly sound like war drums, shaking the surrounding flora and trees.

Nie Feng and Mingyue lack sufficient power; their hearts are also affected by the aftershocks of the Heavenly Heart Calamity, beating wildly, and soon blood spills from the corners of their mouths.

Nameless, seeing this, immediately shields the two with sword qi, and Ten Thousand Swords Return to Sect blocks the aftershocks of the Heavenly Heart Calamity.

The three retreat to a distance, and only after the influence ceases do they glance back at the battlefield, still trembling.

The Heavenly Heart Calamity, pushed to its limit, makes even Dishi Tian himself feel dizzy, yet Chu Yang remains calm.

"What kind of monster are you?!!"

Dishi Tian, shocked and enraged, can no longer maintain his lofty demeanor and curses like a street thug.

He's broken his guard!

Chu Yang covers his chest and says lightly, "If you jump any faster I can't take it."

Dishi Tian's temples bulge with blue veins.

You damn…!

Faster… I won't survive either…! "I don't believe you can completely break my Sacred Heart Four Calamities!"

Dishi Tian lets out a hysterical roar, activates the Corrupt Blood Calamity, attempting to draw Chu Yang's qi‑blood with his own.

The moment their qi‑blood connects, Dishi Tian flashes a delighted smile, finally having a technique that works.

But when he continues to draw the qi‑blood, he finds Chu Yang's qi‑blood is like a mire; no matter how he pulls, it won't budge.

He grits his teeth, pours in more qi‑blood, and his complexion turns increasingly pallid.

As more qi‑blood is invested, Dishi Tian's perception of Chu Yang's qi‑blood becomes clearer, gradually materializing in his mind.

First, a whiff of iron rust sweeps in like wind; when Dishi Tian opens his eyes, an endless sea of qi‑blood fills his sight.

The blood sea roils violently, as if it will swallow him in the next second! How could a tiny drop of qi‑blood possibly stir an infinite sea of blood?!

Dishi Tian awakens from the illusion, spitting a mouthful of hot blood, the demon‑mask falling away to reveal a face full of bitter anger.

"You old monster, how shameless! Though your cultivation has reached a god‑demon level, you still linger among mortals, toying with people like me."

"My whole life, how laughable it is in your eyes!!!"

Dishi Tian, grief and fury overwhelming, utters nothing but desperate wails.

Chu Yang: "???"

"No way, big brother, I only broke your move; the reaction shouldn't be this extreme, right?"

"I'm just standing here doing nothing, and you're already broken? Your mental fortitude is really poor…"

"Come to think of it, since the First Emperor has been dead for centuries, only Dishi Tian dares to return to the Central Plains; his mental quality is evident."

Dishi Tian appears to have survived for millennia, but in fact he has been cowardly for three thousand years.

"What's wrong with this person?"

Mingyue looks at Dishi Tian with a vacant stare, listening to his lament.

In the recent battle, aside from the Heavenly Heart Calamity affecting them, there was no way to know when the Startling Eye Calamity and the Evil Blood Calamity began or ended.

From Mingyue's viewpoint, Dixiatian fumbled around with all sorts of tricks for a long time, then clutched his head and wept, like a lunatic who had escaped from a mental asylum.

Nie Feng's reaction was much the same; seeing Dixiatian's frantic demeanor made his stomach churn, and the words he had just spoken seemed somewhat inexplicable.

If you must call Chu Yang some ancient monster?

But…

He does look a bit like one.

Recalling Chu Yang from the first meeting until now, his progress in martial arts is beyond ordinary reasoning.

This made Nie Feng mutter to himself.

Wuming, whose cultivation is more profound, saw a bit more than the two; he caught a trace of the strange energy emitted by the first three of the Four Calamities of the Sacred Heart.

Precisely because of that, the shock in his eyes was far stronger than Nie Feng's or Mingyue's! How exactly did Chu Yang resolve it?

Dixiatian no longer had any will to fight Chu Yang; seizing the moment Chu Yang was stunned, he used his footwork to flee desperately.

Chu Yang, of course, would not let him succeed; he darted forward, a fist striking Dixiatian's back, and then his body turned into countless strands of rosy vapor.

The punch hit empty air.

In the air echoed Dixiatian's triumphant laugh: "This is the Seven-No Absolute Realm; no matter how high your cultivation, you cannot kill me!"

Seven-No Absolute Realm?

Elemental transmutation, huh? Chu Yang's mouth twitched, domineering aura coiled around his fists, and he slammed them down.

Dixiatian's smiling face froze.

His whole body was punched into the depths of a dried riverbed! Why?!

Why did he so easily break his own Seven-No Absolute Realm?! As Dixiatian's life‑saving divine technique, the Seven-No Absolute Realm is as important as the Sacred Heart Technique, even more crucial than the Sacred Heart Technique at the brink of life and death.

In the past thousand years, Dixiatian has indeed faced strong foes, but all escaped thanks to the protection of the Seven-No Absolute Realm.

The repeatedly reliable divine skill—he glanced at it once and fully comprehended it, which shocked Dixiatian to the extreme.

Are there truly such geniuses in the world?! "You almost got away," Chu Yang said, hovering above Dixiatian, his gaze no different from how Dixiatian usually looks at others.

As if looking at an ant.

Dixiatian trembled all over; at this moment, all his thoughts turned to ash.

"After living for millennia, your courage hasn't improved at all; you've truly lived to the point of being a dog," Chu Yang said with a disdainful expression, then calmly added, "I'll give you a chance to survive: hurt me once, and I'll let you go."

"Is it really so?!" Dixiatian was both shocked and delighted, and hurriedly stood up from the pit.

"A Yang, we must not let him go." Hearing their conversation, Wuming hurriedly warned Chu Yang, "Dixiatian's temperament is erratic; if we let him go now, he'll disappear for decades, and after you die of old age, he'll return to wreak havoc on the world!"

Dixiatian turned and glared at Wuming, "He and I are both immortal; how could I wait for him to grow old and die, how could I let him wreak havoc on the world?!"

He almost wanted to strangle Wuming on the spot; that fellow's few words almost cut off his own way of survival.

Wuming was speechless, staring blankly at Chu Yang; it wasn't that he hadn't doubted him, he just didn't want to think too deeply.

"He is not like you." Mingyue's ethereal voice suddenly rang out, "I met him when we were young and grew up together; he could never be a millennia‑old monster!"

Mingyue's words landed like a hammer, easily shattering Dixiatian's last shred of pride.

He looked at Chu Yang in disbelief…

"You're actually just a kid?!"

Dixiatian's mind went completely blank.

In just a few short years, he could match my millennia of refined martial path!

The Seven-No Absolute Realm I once boasted about was uncovered at a glance.

Dixiatian's martial heart was utterly shattered, and he knelt on the ground like a puddle of sludge.

Nie Feng and Wuming wore faint, bitter smiles; in a sense, this answer was more hurtful than the fact that Chu Yang truly was immortal.

"You've decided to give up your life?"

Dixiatian suddenly looked up, "Do you really intend to give me a way out?"

Chu Yang smiled, "If you don't make a move now, I'll truly have no way out."

Dixiatian gritted his teeth, the veins on his neck bulging, channeling all his lifelong power.

"Cannot…"

Wuming was about to speak, but Mingyue stopped him, shaking her head: "A Yang knows what he's doing; you might as well trust him."

Wuming shook his head with a sigh and said no more.

"This is the strongest form among the Four Calamities of the Sacred Heart, also a supreme martial art I forged by gathering the strengths of countless schools over a thousand years; if you can block it without a single hair being damaged, there's no need for me to act—I will cut myself down."

"Divine Execution Calamity!!!"

In full view of everyone, a phantom drifted out from atop Dixiatian's head, turning into a dazzling white light that surged into Chu Yang's body.

"What is that?!" Nie Feng shouted, voice lost.

"Primordial Spirit." Wuming had already known of the Primordial Spirit's existence since his duel with the Sword Saint.

"He attacks A Yang with his Primordial Spirit; how can we defend against that?" Mingyue's heart leapt up.

Chu Yang closed his eyes, silently hovering above the void, terrifyingly calm.

Deep within his soul, Dixiatian seemed to have entered a mysterious realm, surrounded by bizarre sights, countless strange things flashing past him.

Time passed, though no one knew how long.

Dixiatian stood before a massive palace, gazing at its awe‑inspiring, masterfully crafted grandeur, feeling as if he had arrived at a divine court.

"Could this be the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in transit?"

"Inside are countless celestial beings?"

Dixiatian, overjoyed, rushed toward the main gate, his steps quickening until he broke into a light jog, taking two strides at a time across the long staircase.

Just as he reached the doorway, the palace suddenly opened, and several figures emerged from within.

Indra's smile suddenly froze.

Everyone who stepped out from inside was Chu Yang!

Aside from their ages ranging from young to old, each face was almost identical.

"You… how did you…"

Indra pointed at the crowd, his body trembling like a sieve, terrified to the extreme.

One Chu Yang is already a demon-like being; how could this cursed place have so many?!

Mage Chu Yang asked in puzzlement, "Where did this guy come from?"

Pirate Chu Yang was thrilled, turning back toward the palace and shouting, "Brothers, come out quickly, we have guests at home!"

Hokage Chu Yang looked at Indra, suddenly recalling Hei Jue and Su Na, who had mistakenly entered the Soul Palace; this person should be similar.

Immortal Chu Yang said, "No matter where he came from, he's not a friend; just kill him."

His words made everyone nod in agreement.

Indra turned pale with terror and fled, thinking these people were even more unreasonable than the one outside—kill on a whim. What kind of peerless demon king is this? Unfortunately, however exquisite his lightness skill footwork, he could not evade a flying sword that could take a head from a thousand li away.

【Heavenly Gate】 suddenly appeared; a flash of sword light, and Indra's Primordial Spirit collapsed instantly, leaving only a mournful wail.

"No!!!!"

The Soul Palace emitted a buzzing sound, absorbing all fragments of the Primordial Spirit.

Wind and Cloud World.

Chu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze blazing like torches, making others dare not stare.

Having lost his Primordial Spirit, Indra's body slowly collapsed, yet he was not dead; his condition was akin to a vegetative state.

Landing back on the ground, Chu Yang showed a satisfied smile; all of Indra's martial arts had been forced out by him, making this journey highly rewarding.

Especially the Sacred Heart Technique, which matches the Dragon Elephant Bright King perfectly; the two merging will surely produce unexpected changes.

"Ah Yang, is Indra dead?"

Three nameless figures approached Chu Yang, their eyes worried, their movements subtly guarded; they were unsure of Chu Yang's current condition.

"He struck my Primordial Spirit with a Primordial Spirit Secret Art, but his power was insufficient and backfired; now his Primordial Spirit is shattered, leaving only a shell—truly a living corpse."

Chu Yang answered with a smile.

Mingyue pushed aside Nie Feng and the nameless one, walked to Chu Yang, took a deep breath and said, "Are you Ah Yang?"

Chu Yang was momentarily stunned, seeming to understand their thought, shook his head and laughed, "The Primordial Spirit Secret Art, I grasped it long ago when the Sword Saint predecessor taught me swordsmanship; you need not worry."

After speaking, he performed a brief Primordial Spirit out-of-body.

Only his Primordial Spirit, compared to Indra's, was more solid, almost indistinguishable from a real person.

The three were amazed, finally believing he was Chu Yang, not Indra.

"You go ahead; I'll bury Indra's remains before returning."

Nie Feng and Mingyue were both wounded by the Heavenly Heart Tribulation, truly needing to return early for treatment, so the nameless one escorted the two back to Zhonghua Pavilion.

After they left, Chu Yang directly stored Indra's shell in the Soul Palace, acquiring Phoenix Blood, with Dragon Essence and Turtle Blood remaining.
