Chapter 113: Law and Dao

Ye Fan and Pang Bo both felt some doubt in their hearts; they knew Jiang Xuan was indifferent to female beauty, so could this Zi Fu Saintess have something special about her? And what did it mean that the Shaking Light Holy Maiden was following at Jiang Xuan's side?

Yao Xi's beautiful eyes looked at Jiang Xuan, her heart somewhat dimmed.

The big black dog wore a displeased expression and grumbled: "The Innate Saint Body Dao Embryo is gone, Ye kid, if you don't want it, someone else does!"

Jiang Xuan laughed helplessly and teased: "I don't just need the Innate Dao Embryo, I also need your Ancient Desolate Holy Body."

"Jiang Xuan, have you cultivated the Swallowing Human Body Origin Source Method from the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art?" Ye Fan worried; if the Holy Body's origin could help Jiang Xuan, he would naturally be willing to split off a portion, but he remembered Jiang Xuan once saying that following the path of the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art would ultimately only produce a Flawed Chaos Body, with no hope of Proving the Dao and Becoming Emperor.

Jiang Xuan possessed Heavenly Pride; he was unwilling to let Jiang Xuan stray onto a wrong path.

"My cultivation has hit a bottleneck, unable to break through for a long time; I need to comprehend the mysteries of special constitutions, it won't harm your origins, and will actually be of some benefit to you." Jiang Xuan smiled; he needed to comprehend special constitutions and those with innately extraordinary bloodlines — how such inborn gifts break through realms; they only become shackled by their bloodline constitution when proving the Dao, but in the early stage of cultivation they are like a massive treasure trove waiting to be excavated.

In a certain sense, his Treasure Body is also a kind of special constitution, except it was forged postnatally; at first he thought that by cultivating and refining treasures step by step, finding divine materials to refine, raising the Magic Treasure grade, his cultivation level would naturally rise with the tide.

Now it seems he was too naive back then; the human body's complexity and subtlety is in no way inferior to a great universe — how could a simple refining of treasures and fusing achieve a leap in life level?

"What do you need me to do?" Ye Fan didn't hesitate in the slightest; Jiang Xuan could never harm him.

"Go to the Fire Domain!"

Jiang Xuan reached out and grabbed the Mountains and Rivers Map above the High Heavens; only he dared to do so, unafraid the Zi Fu Saintess might suddenly launch a sneak attack from within the map.

Divine Light enveloped the few people and one dog; Jiang Xuan took a step and vanished.

……

Donghuang, Fire Domain.

The big black dog's eyes bulged round, shocked, incredulous — this Void Shifting technique… no Domain Gate borrowed, no Jade Platform borrowed, just a single step taken, this was far more than a Wanli distance, arriving in a flash.

The Black Emperor's face showed greedy longing; this technique was too miraculous, it really wanted to learn it.

"Jiang Ge's methods, how could a dead dog like you fathom them?" Pang Bo looked at the Black Emperor with great displeasure; during the fight with the Zi Fu Saintess, the Black Emperor had shoved him out, which enraged him.

"I need to analyze the mysteries of your constitutions; there may be some pain."

"Us?" Pang Bo was puzzled; only Ye Fan had an Ancient Desolate Holy Body here, why would Jiang Ge speak like this?

Jiang Xuan smiled: "Pang Bo, do you know why you are so burly? In university you crashed straight ahead, not losing to Ye Fan — have you never wondered why?"

Pang Bo's expression moved; thinking back to childhood, among his peers there were indeed extremely few as burly and strong as him — could he also have a special constitution?

"After entering the Lingxu Dongtian, among all the classmates, aside from me, your cultivation progressed the fastest."

"The reason for this phenomenon is entirely because you have Demon God bloodline in your body, and the concentration is extremely high; your ancestors likely produced a Demon God — this is also why that Great Demon in the Qing Emperor's Tomb wanted to possess you back then."

Everything made sense now; Pang Bo was shocked, never expecting he actually had Yao clan bloodline, and the background seemed huge — Demon God, just hearing it sounded incomparably powerful, extremely explosive.

Ye Fan puzzled, "Jiang Xuan, then Earth…"

"Earth is not as simple as it appears on the surface; it has produced Emperor's Way figures, and even now several Quasi-Emperors exist in the world."

Jiang Xuan knew what Ye Fan wanted to ask, and continued: "But to return, you need at least Saint-level realm to cross the boundless universe, or like when you came, ride that Coffin."

"When your realm arrives, all doubts will become clear; all hardships and thorns are but passing clouds."

Ye Fan nodded; when weak, thinking too much yet being powerless only adds vexation; spending the time wasted on self-pity on cultivation instead increases the hope of the return journey by a fraction.

"Enter the furnace!" Jiang Xuan waved his hand; a strand of Xuanhuang Qi wrapped the two and went straight into the Fire Domain Ninth Layer, Xuanhuang circulating, protecting them from the Nine-Colored Flames' assault.

Jiang Xuan's mind moved; an Eight Trigrams Furnace phantom appeared out of thin air, growing against the wind, descending and enveloping the two.

Another wave of his hand, and the Nine-Colored Flames from all directions poured into the furnace; Ye Fan and Pang Bo stood at the Xun Position, the Burning Heaven Boiling Sea flames surged into the Thousand-Zhang Divine Furnace, not harming the two in the slightest.

"I need you two to engage in a life-and-death struggle, displaying your Laws and Dao, divine power and flesh, spirit and will to me." A voice resounded in both their ears.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo understood in their hearts; they charged at each other, launching into fierce combat.

Each was the person in this world who understood the other best; there was no probing whatsoever — from the start they used the most ferocious means.

Boom!

Pang Bo shouted loudly, black hair dancing wildly, a punch smashed out, tearing through flames, incomparably fierce.

Ye Fan's whole body blazed with awe-inspiring golden light; likewise he pressed forward with fist momentum, meeting Pang Bo's fist — terrifying fluctuations shook the four directions, surrounding flames turning into rolling waves of fire.

Neither used their own weapons; only thus could they fully display their Laws and Dao to Jiang Xuan.

The Void rippled; one black Void Crack after another appeared, spreading in all directions, yet in a flash they rapidly mended and closed under the might of Heaven and Earth; the two collided and bombarded continuously, golden light and black light flashing alternately, brilliance illuminating the four directions.

Ye Fan and Pang Bo both walked the path of unyielding tyranny, and both were at the Dao Palace Five Heavens cultivation; in a short time their combat power was almost equal, difficult to determine a victor.

In a little over a year, with the twenty million catties of Source Jiang Xuan gave, the two rapidly reached the peak of this Dao Palace realm.

"What the two learned is exactly the same; the Cursed Holy Body has still not been fully developed at this time, their combat power differs by almost nothing." Jiang Xuan's eyes flickered, watching the two battling in the flames.

He began waving his sleeves, hooking the Nine-Colored Divine Fire, separating out threads of Nine-Colored Mist entering the two's bodies, wanting to analyze their constitutions; he controlled the Nine-Colored Mist very well, it would not harm the two, but rather helped them temper their physical bodies.

Endless great force collided; the two were like two barbarian dragons possessing them — a casual movement, terrifying Mysterious Qi permeated, Divine Fire boiled; the two used the Eight Trigrams Furnace as battlefield, no need to worry the external Nine-Colored Divine Fire would harm them.

Ye Fan attacked forward, raising his right arm was the Baji Top Heart Elbow evolved to the extreme, then his left hand condensed the Great Dao Treasure Vase, smashing toward Pang Bo's head top.

This was a peerless method, offense extremely fierce; he knew Jiang Xuan had certainly prepared protective measures, would not truly let them die or be injured, so he held nothing back, displaying his fist art.

Pang Bo met the battle, striding forward a great step, evolving the Eight Extremities Fist Iron Mountain Lean with the Dou Zhan Holy Law; only to see his right foot stomp down violently, force issuing from the heel, traveling through the waist, piercing through the hands, violently crashing into Ye Fan.

Eight Extremities Fist — Swaying Shoulder Topples Heaven, Stamping Foot Shakes Nine Provinces.

The two unfolded fierce great battle; everywhere scattered flames, everywhere unrivaled fist shadows, terrifying battle intent pressing Heaven and Earth, divine power and fist intent intertwining, like two Ancient Battle Gods in a life-and-death struggle.
