Chapter 604: The Foundation for Contending with Nitian Mozun

Lin Xuan's eyes were as deep as the stars, the depths of his pupils seemingly containing the mysteries of the entire universe. He slowly stood up, the surging divine power within his body flowing like a great river, and every breath he took could cause subtle vibrations in the surrounding space.

Xiao Yuan's transformation was equally astonishing; her temperament had become more ethereal and holy, as if she were an Immortal who did not eat the food of the Human Realm. Silver light flowed gently around her, radiating a sacred aura that purified all evil.

"This kind of power..." Lin Xuan felt the changes within his body, a look of shock flashing in his eyes, "Quasi-Saint level, and it is still growing."

Xiao Yuan nodded; she could clearly feel that her cultivation had reached a brand-new realm. Quasi-Saint, this was the supreme realm second only to a Saint, possessing the terrifying power to move mountains, drain seas, and reverse the heavens and earth.

More importantly, various divine abilities from the Taichu period surged into their consciousness like a tide. Return of Ten Thousand Dharmas, Taichu Huosu, Space-Time Imprisonment, Hun Dun Evolution... these heaven-defying skills had returned to their control.

"Return of Ten Thousand Dharmas..." Lin Xuan softly chanted the name of this divine ability, the relevant cultivation memories emerging in his mind, "It can return all laws in the world to the Taichu origin; no matter how complex the attack, it can be neutralized."

"Taichu Huosu can reverse space-time, changing things that have already happened within a limited scope," Xiao Yuan continued, a look of deep awe flashing in her eyes, "The power of these divine abilities far exceeds our imagination."

Hun Dun Dao Venerable watched the transformation of the two, a look of gratification welling up in his eyes. After waiting for countless ages, the Taichu Immortal Lord and the World-Purifying Immortal Maiden had finally returned.

"Very good, children," Hun Dun Dao Venerable nodded in approval, "Your awakening is even more perfect than I expected. The two of you now possess the foundation to contend with Nitian Mozun."

However, the moment his voice fell, the entire Taichu Shengdi suddenly shook violently.

The originally magnificent inheritance chamber instantly turned dim, and the night-luminescent pearls on the walls extinguished one after another. An extremely evil aura seeped in from the depths of the Void, carrying a malice that sought to destroy everything.

"This is..." Hun Dun Dao Venerable's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, "The aura of Nitian Mozun! How could it possibly sense this place?"

Taichu Shengdi was a special space independent of the Three Realms, and logically, it should not have been detectable by the outside world. But as an existence from the Taichu period, Nitian Mozun's understanding of Taichu Shengdi far exceeded imagination.

"Hehehe... Taichu Immortal Lord, World-Purifying Immortal Maiden, you have finally awakened," a sinister voice echoed above the holy land, carrying endless malice and mockery, "Since that is the case, let this Venerable test your current strength!"

Black clouds began to gather in the sky, these clouds emitting a nauseating, foul stench. A huge figure slowly descended from the center of the cloud layer; it was a humanoid figure composed entirely of black mist, standing a hundred zhang tall, its entire body surrounded by Hun Dun Power.

Unlike the previous Moying Fenshen, this was an origin clone separated by Nitian Mozun himself, possessing a significant portion of the main body's power and memories. Its strength was enough to rival a peak-stage Hun Dun Demon God, a truly terrifying existence.

The moment the clone descended, the entire Taichu Shengdi fell into darkness. The spirit herbs and immortal flowers that were originally full of vitality instantly withered and died, the leaves of the ancient towering trees fell one after another, and even the air became thick and oppressive, making it difficult to breathe.

"Damn it!" Hun Dun Dao Venerable roared, preparing to strike to meet the enemy, but was stopped by Lin Xuan.

"Senior Dao Venerable, this is our battle," Lin Xuan said firmly, "We must verify our own strength."

Xiao Yuan also nodded in agreement: "Senior, please let us handle it. This is also a responsibility we should bear as the Taichu Immortal Lord and the World-Purifying Immortal Maiden."

Hun Dun Dao Venerable looked at their firm expressions and finally nodded. He knew that this battle was of great significance to the two of them; it was not only a test of power but also a tempering of their state of mind.

Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan flew toward the sky hand in hand, meeting that terrifying clone. Gold and silver light swirled around them, forming brilliant halos that stood in stark contrast to the darkness emitted by the clone.

"Hmph, still as fond of playing the hero as before," the Nitian Mozun clone let out a mocking laugh, "But this time, you don't have the gods to help you!"

As soon as the words fell, the clone waved its hand and shot out dozens of beams of Hun Dun Power. Wherever these beams passed, space was torn into pitch-black rifts, emitting a terrifying power that destroyed everything.

Lin Xuan reacted instantly, his hands forming seals to execute the Taiji Lun Hui. A huge Taiji Pattern appeared in front of him, the black and white light rotating to form a powerful defensive barrier. The beams of Hun Dun Power struck the Taiji Pattern, emitting a deafening boom.

Yet, shockingly, the clone's attack easily penetrated the defense of the Taiji Lun Hui!

"What?!" Lin Xuan was shocked, hurriedly dodging to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal attack.

"Hehehe, have you forgotten? This Venerable possesses all your memories," the clone laughed triumphantly, "Every one of your moves, every one of your weaknesses, this Venerable knows like the back of my hand!"

This discovery brought great shock to both Lin Xuan and Xiao Yuan. They had not expected that Nitian Mozun not only possessed powerful strength but also mastered all their combat memories and habits from their past lives.

Xiao Yuan immediately unleashed the World-Purifying Divine Light to counterattack, countless silver rays shooting toward the clone like sharp swords. But the clone seemed to have anticipated this, easily dodging all attacks by sidestepping, then backhanding a palm toward Xiao Yuan.

"Xiao Yuan, watch out!" Lin Xuan hurriedly rushed over, wanting to protect his beloved, only to find that his own movement trajectory was also within the clone's expectations.

"Hun Dun Annihilation!" The clone seized the opportunity, its hands gathering a terrifying black energy ball, which it blasted directly at Lin Xuan.

This strike contained terrifying power capable of destroying stars; if hit, even a Quasi-Saint level cultivation could be severely injured. Lin Xuan wanted to dodge, but found that the surrounding space had already been sealed.

At the critical moment, Xiao Yuan arrived in time. She pressed her palms together and softly chanted a spell: "World-Purifying Barrier, Invulnerable to All Dharmas!"

A silver wall of light instantly appeared in front of Lin Xuan, completely blocking the Hun Dun Annihilation attack. But the huge impact still sent the two of them flying back hundreds of meters, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths.

"Damn it, this won't work," Lin Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "We cannot continue to rely on the experience of our past lives."

Xiao Yuan also realized the key to the problem: "That's right, we must develop brand-new combat methods and fight with our current thinking and insights."

The two looked at each other, seeing the same resolve in each other's eyes. Since their past-life moves had been completely mastered by the opponent, then they would create brand-new skills to deal with it!
