Chapter 519: Pollute my Dao heart? You aren't qualified enough!

~7 min read 1,318 words

The tip of the spear burned with a purplish-black flame; it was the manifestation of Hun Dun Power, possessing extreme corrosiveness.

Lin Xuan narrowly avoided his vitals, but the long spear still pierced his shoulder. Instantly, a heart-piercing pain arrived; it was not merely a physical wound, but an erosion at the level of the soul. The Hun Dun Power burrowed into his body like a maggot on a bone, attempting to pollute his Taiji Three Origin Power.

"Haha! Once struck by our Hun Dun Poison, let's see how long you can hold on!" the ambushing cultivator laughed triumphantly. "Soon you will be like the others, becoming a slave to Hun Dun!"

However, they underestimated Lin Xuan's willpower. The "Will Transcendence" realm not only granted Lin Xuan sensory abilities surpassing ordinary people, but more importantly, it tempered his iron-like will. Facing the erosion of the Hun Dun Power, his state of mind was as calm as an ancient well; no matter how the evil power surged, it could not shake his conviction.

"Want to pollute my Dao heart?" Lin Xuan sneered. "You aren't qualified enough!"

As he spoke, he began to mobilize the Taiji Three Origin Power within his body, forcibly expelling the invading Hun Dun Power. This process was extremely painful, like carving flesh with a knife, but Lin Xuan's expression became increasingly resolute.

Just at this moment, Lin Xuan suddenly remembered the "Three-Origin Unity Great Array" that Lingjizi had taught him before they parted.

"Remember, the true profound meaning of the Taiji Three Origin Power does not lie in using them separately, but in perfect fusion." Lingjizi's words echoed in his ears. "When the three powers of Yin, Yang, and Equilibrium become one, you can manifest the ultimate mystery of the Taiji Dao."

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and began to adjust the way his internal power circulated according to Lingjizi's guidance. In the past, he had always called upon Yin Power, Yang Power, or Equilibrium Force separately according to the needs of battle; although he would use them in combination, he had never attempted a complete fusion.

This process was more difficult than he had imagined. The attributes of the three powers were completely different; forcibly fusing them would likely cause violent conflict, resulting in damaged meridians at best, or a deviation into a demonic state at worst. But the current situation allowed him no hesitation; he had to stake everything on one throw!

"Yin reaches its extreme and Yang is born, Yang reaches its extreme and Yin is born, Yin and Yang intertwine, and all things are renewed..."

Lin Xuan recited the Taiji mental cultivation method silently, beginning to guide the three powers within his body to blend together. At first, these powers indeed produced intense conflict; Lin Xuan's body felt as if it were being roasted in a furnace, and every cell was enduring tremendous pain.

However, as his will persisted and the mental cultivation method operated more deeply, a miracle began to occur. The gentleness of Yin Power, the rigidity of Yang Power, and the peacefulness of Equilibrium Force—these three seemingly opposing attributes actually began to complement and achieve one another.

In Lin Xuan's dantian, a brand-new power began to be born. This power possessed the inclusiveness of Yin Power, the sharpness of Yang Power, and the stability of Equilibrium Force; the three fused perfectly, forming an unprecedented energy system.

The Guixu Sect cultivators outside were still attacking frantically, but they gradually discovered something abnormal. Although Lin Xuan still appeared to be struggling to hold on, the energy fluctuations around his body were undergoing subtle changes. The originally distinct three-colored light began to merge, forming a strange color that was difficult to describe.

"What is he doing?" a cultivator keenly sensed that something was wrong. "Quick, stop him!"

However, it was too late.

Lin Xuan opened his eyes abruptly; the Three-Origin Unity Great Array within his body had finally been constructed. In an instant, a massive Taiji Pattern appeared beneath his feet—this was not an illusory light and shadow, but a tangible energy structure!

The Taiji Diagram reached over ten zhang in diameter, shrouding the entire battlefield within it. The edges of the pattern shimmered with the light of the three colors blending together, while the Yin-Yang fish in the center rotated slowly; every rotation produced powerful force field fluctuations.

"What kind of spell is this?!" The Guixu Sect cultivators discovered with horror that their attacks were actually being deflected upon contacting the edge of the Taiji Diagram. Fireball Techniques were flicked toward the sky, Ice Spike Techniques were absorbed and dissipated, and Lightning Techniques were even turned directly around, striking the casters themselves.

Even more magically, the attack energy absorbed by the Taiji Diagram did not disappear, but was converted into pure Spirit Qi, continuously replenishing Lin Xuan's consumption. These Guixu Sect cultivators were shocked to find that the more desperately they attacked, the stronger Lin Xuan became!

"This is impossible! How can there be such a spell in the world!" the leading Integration Stage cultivator exclaimed, the attacking motion in his hand involuntarily pausing for an instant.

Panic began to spread through the crowd. Some of the less resolute cultivators saw this god-like scene and began to doubt whether they were standing on the right side. Their attacks became hesitant, and their formation began to loosen.

Lin Xuan keenly captured this opportunity. He stood up slowly, the Taiji Diagram rotating violently with his movements, releasing an increasingly intense light.

"Everyone, turn back before it is too late." Lin Xuan's voice became incomparably majestic under the reinforcement of the Taiji Diagram's force field, like a heavenly god descending to the world. "The Hun Dun Dao is not the righteous path; why act as a tiger's accomplice?"

As he spoke, he raised his Eight-Trigrams crutch; the crutch resonated with the Taiji Diagram, releasing an even more brilliant light. This light contained the pure Taiji True Intent, which had a natural restraining effect on Hun Dun Power.

Those Guixu Sect cultivators with lower cultivation immediately felt the Hun Dun Power within their bodies begin to stir restlessly, as if they had encountered a natural enemy. Their faces turned pale, and some even began to retreat.

"Don't be bewitched by him!" the leading Integration Stage cultivator grew anxious at the sight. "He is only one person; we have dozens of people—are we really afraid of him?"

As he spoke, he launched an attack first; the black sword in his hand slashed out a massive sword beam dozens of zhang long, pointing straight at the top of Lin Xuan's head. This sword beam contained his entire cultivation, and its power was strong enough to split a mountain peak.

However, Lin Xuan only glanced at it indifferently, and the Taiji Diagram suddenly erupted with a scorching three-colored light. This light was as dazzling as a sun, instantly illuminating the entire Hunyuan Valley as if it were broad daylight.

In this intense light, Lin Xuan's figure became blurred and sacred, like a deity descending to the Human Realm, majestic and inviolable. The moment that powerful sword beam touched the light, it actually dissolved rapidly like ice and snow meeting a raging fire, without even stirring up a ripple.

"This... how can this be..." The leading cultivator stood frozen on the spot, the long sword in his hand trembling.

Lin Xuan walked toward them step by step; with every step he took, the Taiji Diagram beneath his feet released a ripple of energy. Wherever these ripples passed, the Hun Dun Power in the air was purified and dissipated, replaced by fresh Spirit Qi.

"One last chance," Lin Xuan stopped, his gaze sweeping over everyone present. "Lay down your weapons, and I can spare your lives."

As soon as he finished speaking, several weak-willed cultivators finally could not withstand this pressure, dropped their weapons, and knelt to surrender.
