Chapter 173

Jiang Xuan raised his hand, and that terrifying pressure abruptly halted before him; the light scattered, and the Heavenly Emperor Sword was caught in one of Jiang Xuan's hands, the palm blocking the blade suffering no injury whatsoever.

"How is this possible!" Wang Teng cried out in shock.

A faint smile surfaced on Jiang Xuan's face: "How is it impossible!"

Fine earth-yellow Dao Patterns condensed in his hand, and Yin-Yang Power spread along the Heavenly Emperor Sword that was clamped tight, crawling toward Wang Teng's sword-holding hand.

Wang Teng's eyes changed drastically; Divine Light emerged from the depths of his eyes, and his Martial Dao Heavenly Eye instantly opened.

The Martial Dao Heavenly Eye possesses the functions of seeing through falsehoods, probing flaws, and accelerating the brain's thinking speed; at this moment the panicked Wang Teng instantly calmed down, eyes fixed dead on Jiang Xuan, decisively activating a forbidden ability, a desolate ancient aura spreading from his body.

"Chaos Ancient Saint Art"

As the forbidden secret art with the lowest cultivation requirement demanded by the Chaos Ancient Emperor, its power must not be underestimated.

The core of the Chaos Ancient Saint Art is the single character "Chaos". It can disorder time, space, interfere with attacks, interfere with thoughts, causing every battlefield environment to extend in a direction favorable to oneself.

As the center of chaos, Jiang Xuan stood with hands behind his back, carefully experiencing the profundities of the Chaos Ancient Secret Art; the enormous gap in cultivation realm meant this secret art could not affect him in the slightest.

Time became chaotic, Divine Light crisscrossed, dense Space Cracks spread in all directions like a spider web. Yet in reality Wang Teng easily took the Heavenly Emperor Sword back, that Yin-Yang Power also rapidly receding the further it went; he decisively struck out with another sword.

This was the Chaos Ancient Saint Art exerting power again; space was interfered with, and this attack had already landed on Jiang Xuan's body the moment it was swung.

Wang Teng's figure appeared beside Jiang Xuan, his face full of killing intent and ferocity, a furious roar soaring skyward: "Die for me!"

Jiang Xuan was completely undefended, watching the opponent's Heavenly Emperor Sword slash onto his own skin.

Immediately, a fine scratch appeared on Jiang Xuan's chest, tearing his clothes open.

Wang Teng's morbidly excited smile gradually froze; the hand holding the Heavenly Emperor Sword had already begun to tremble slightly — what kind of monster physique is this?

The Heavenly Emperor Sword is a Holy Soldier; relying on his Peak Great Power strength, plus the disruption of the Chaos Ancient Saint Art, Jiang Xuan was basically in an undefended state, yet it merely scraped a bit of skin?

Jiang Xuan looked at the other with a smile; just now when he caught the Heavenly Emperor Sword barehanded, he had already known that with Wang Teng's current strength, even controlling a Holy Soldier could not possibly injure him.

He more wanted to see just what this North Emperor Wang Teng, who boasts Great Emperor character qualifications, is made of — so unrivaled, so fond of displaying sanctity before others.

"You done attacking? Now it's my turn!" Jiang Xuan's hand pointed forward lightly, a ruthless voice accompanying Domain Expansion; the Secret Path Seed inhaled and exhaled, vast mental power surging out.

"All chaos within this space is error!" A book condensed in his hand, characters slowly emerging on it: "Chaos shall be swept clean within the domain, rules shall return to their original form and suffer no violation!"

As the words fell, the Hidden Space instantly wrapped Wang Teng and the Eight Great Powers behind him; that chaotic aura instantly vanished like smoke.

Simultaneously, one of Jiang Xuan's hands swiftly gripped the Heavenly Emperor Sword that had slashed at his chest; endless Black Flames billowed out!

A trace of disdain flashed in Wang Teng's eyes; he had never feared anyone in energy collision — the Chaos Ancient Qi can throw everything into disorder; he was already on undefeated ground, how could he lose?

Black Flame and Chaos Ancient Qi met at the midsection of his Heavenly Emperor Sword, followed immediately by silent devouring, like a basin of water meeting a sponge; that Chaos Ancient Qi was devoured completely at visible speed, the Black Flame's advancing momentum not diminishing in the slightest, even more vigorous than before.

Wang Teng, who had opened his Divine Eye, now also panicked somewhat; he could only hurriedly abandon the Heavenly Emperor Sword and withdraw his palm; the dark flames, after devouring the Heavenly Emperor Sword, returned along the original path into Jiang Xuan's body, incidentally bringing the Heavenly Emperor Sword into his Sea of Consciousness as well.

Seeing Jiang Xuan actually dare to take the Heavenly Emperor Sword, Wang Teng felt confidence return!

His Heavenly Emperor Sword is an extremely loyal Holy Soldier that actively acknowledged him as master; no matter how far, it can find him. Jiang Xuan took the Heavenly Emperor Sword into his body without refining it — his Heavenly Emperor Sword can just break through from the inside!

He refuses to believe that just because Jiang Xuan's body surface possesses such a powerful physique, his internal organs could be that powerful too!

Just as Wang Teng thought, the Heavenly Emperor Sword, discovering its connection with its master severed, immediately prepared to pierce the dantian and break through Jiang Xuan's body from within.

But the Heavenly Emperor Sword without Source Power support, and without Wang Teng's empowerment, now had its attack power drop another level!

The Heavenly Emperor Sword emitted Divine Light wanting to break through the dantian, yet earth-yellow Dao Patterns manifested inside the dantian; the thrusting Sword Radiance had no effect whatsoever.

Immediately afterward, suction came from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, sucking the entire Heavenly Emperor Sword into the Eight Trigrams Furnace to suppress it; the dantian returned to tranquility.

Jiang Xuan's body trembled slightly; he raised his head to look at Wang Teng, a mocking expression on his face; his internal and external defenses are the same, both blessed by Xuanhuang Mother Qi.

"Uncle, come help quickly!" Even the arrogant and conceited Wang Teng, facing the situation of being completely crushed, finally couldn't help but call for reinforcements!

Overbearing Saber figures descended in unison; a black array instantly laid out across the ground, changing heaven and earth!

The Subduing Demon Array activated!

An attack condensed from the power of the eight-person array followed.

Jiang Xuan's internal Eight Trigrams Furnace fused with his body; black flames wrapped his whole body; the Immortal Slaying Sword, contending in energy, burst out of his body; a single stroke of splendor slashed out!

"Boom!" Light scattered in space, illuminating the sky shrouded by the Hidden Space until it was bright.

A bizarre golden ring flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes — Steal Authority!

Now his Steal Authority has neared the Dao; even though it is a collective of eight Great Powers, they cannot resist this mental Steal Authority ability!

The eight old men instantly stood frozen at the entrance, no longer moving, eyes full of bewilderment; the Subduing Demon Array collapsed along with them; Wang Teng's retreating figure was revealed once more, eyes full of fear.

Jiang Xuan also attempted mental control on the opponent, but the Chaos Ancient power inside him actually possesses the ability to disrupt mental control; wanting to control the other's consciousness would actually take considerable time.

The eight old geezers are nothing to worry about; Jiang Xuan took a step out, instantly catching up to Wang Teng; sharp white light stabbed out from between his fingers.

At the moment of attack, the fear on Wang Teng's face vanished completely, instead revealing a perverse, ferocious smile: "Chaos Heaven Secret Art — Banished Forever!"

A forbidden top-tier secret art from the Chaos Ancient Scripture; in a split second the ten directions were annihilated; countless abysses appeared in the sky, each extending toward different planes!

This is a Space Chaos Cave; within it everything can be buried; it is an invincible secret art! It is the strongest move the Chaos Ancient Emperor created to win with weakness against strength! No matter how powerful you are, once banished and cast into a different dimension, you can never escape again.

This was Wang Teng's final move, hiding killing intent!

This strike actually caused Jiang Xuan's perfected Rule Domain to gradually shatter; one must admit the techniques inherited by the Chaos Ancient Emperor do possess a certain strength.

But Wang Teng's cultivation is ultimately only crawling at the edge of rules; dealing with Ye Fan would be relatively easy, but against Jiang Xuan it is simply not enough to look at.

"Space Extraction!"

As one hand grasped down, the entire space was divided and hidden by Jiang Xuan, and a small piece of space was separated to protect Yao Xi and the carriage, hidden within a space interlayer; one could even see those Space Chaos Caves outside violently absorbing everything around them, causing heaven and earth to tremble incessantly.

Yet the space controlled by Jiang Xuan was utterly unaffected by external changes, calm to the point where only Wang Teng's incredulous, fear-laden cries remained.

"You're not just a Saint! Who exactly are you!"

At this moment Wang Teng even somewhat resented his dead father, pointlessly provoking such a killing god, leaving them now caught in a dilemma.

And when did Beidou produce such a figure? You must know that above Saints in Beidou basically cannot stay hidden; the Wang Family has acted tyrannically in the North for so long precisely because they rely on those above Saints not appearing easily; even opposing a Saint, Wang Teng and the Wang Family could still fight a battle relying on the Subdue Demon Array.

"I am called Jiang Xuan!"

Wang Teng wore a blank expression; in his memory there was simply no such name as Jiang Xuan, or rather he would never bother remembering the names of those so-called geniuses from other domains, because no matter how good their talent, in his eyes they were not even a one-move opponent.

But Wang Chengyun, vomiting blood from backlash, stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in alarm: "You are the demonic Dao Jiang Xuan who suppressed the Eastern Wasteland's younger generation, who withstood the Innate Dao Diagram bare-bodied?"

"When did I ever admit I'm demonic path! I just killed a few more people, that's all!" Jiang Xuan said discontentedly.

Wang Chengyun shook his head violently: "Absolutely impossible! Jiang Xuan is only in his twenties, even our Wang Teng who possesses Great Emperor Posture is only a Peak Great Power now, how could a wild bastard like Jiang Xuan have already broken through to Saint King!"

Jiang Xuan's face darkened, spiritual disturbance directly annihilated the other's soul.

These words were fine to think about, why did he have to say them out loud!

As Wang Chengyun's gaze dimmed and he fell to the ground, Jiang Xuan shifted his gaze to Wang Teng: "Hand over the Chaos Ancient Scripture, and I can consider letting you and the remaining Wang Family Supreme Elders leave!"

Wang Teng's aura surged and churned, he had never suffered such humiliation, but no matter what methods he exhausted, he only left a single white mark on the other party, and the Heavenly Emperor Sword was consequently received into the other's body, without a shred of news.

"You forced me!" Wang Teng's pride still wouldn't allow him to surrender just like that, he mobilized the forbidden with all his might once more.

Ten Thousand Spirits Transform Dao — endless as the sands of the Ganges!

Since there was no possibility of rule collision between Great Powers and Jiang Xuan, Wang Teng prepared to borrow heaven and earth's myriad things to transform into primordial qi as Dao, absorb the myriad Daos to serve him, even a Great Sage King, relying on his Chaos Ancient Scripture, would have the power for one battle, the Chaos Ancient Divine Talisman floated in the air, displaying endless radiance.

Then... there was no then.

Ten Thousand Spirits Transform Dao is extremely terrifying, in this world anyone possessing a spirit body can transform into daojie, the more spirit creatures summoned, the more daojie he can control, even like a giant net enveloping all things, but the premise is there must be spirit creatures.

If it were merely a space partitioned out, Ten Thousand Spirits Transform Dao would not be blocked, but the space Jiang Xuan seized possesses mystery characteristics, even if the Heavenly Dao personally came it would probably be unable to find where this space is located, let alone respond to Ten Thousand Spirits Transform Dao's calling.

In the end, only a sparse few daojie transformed!

Jiang Xuan sighed lightly, his figure instantly appeared before Wang Teng, his palm grabbing toward the other's head.

Since he was unwilling to speak, Jiang Xuan would take it himself, just that the aftereffects are slightly larger.

"No! I haven't lost!" In his fear, Wang Teng was near madness, he was Great Emperor reincarnation material, he shouldn't be killed here!

Sever Self Enlightenment Art!

Can sever the past self, transcend the present self, able to sever demon body and live again.

The next second Jiang Xuan's hand had already landed on the other's head top, all-knowing all-powerful power instantly poured into the other's sea of consciousness, Wang Teng's every experience played rapidly before his eyes like a movie, simultaneously there were the Chaos Ancient Scripture and parts of the Indestructible Heavenly Art's cultivation laws.

After all knowledge was seized, Wang Teng's consciousness was already a chaos, subconscious island shattered, the future already like an idiot, an idiot possessing Peak Great Power cultivation.

After reading Wang Teng's memory, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but marvel at what is a World's Son, what is a Protagonist Template!

Wang Teng not yet two years old at birth, every interval would be carried away by an immortal crane for shedding mortal body exchanging bones, at five danced with a flood dragon in a deep pool, at seven obtained the Golden Ancient War Chariot at the Northern Domain Ancient God Lake, at nine obtained the Chaos Ancient Divine Talisman and Heavenly Emperor Sword at Ancient Emperor Mountain, at twelve obtained the Divine Phoenix Blood in the Undying Cave.

It's as if unknown hitmen were pushing Wang Teng to continuously progress!

Hard-to-come-by opportunities, yet chased after him like dogskin plaster.

No wonder Wang Chengkun hung "my son Wang Teng has Great Emperor material" on his lips every day, anyone who saw would think Wang Teng's future must become a Great Emperor.

Pity he ran into Jiang Xuan, who let Wang Teng nearly kill Ye Fan, although still lacking quite a bit, but since killing intent has arisen, then you have a path to death.

Looking at the dazed Wang Teng and those seven Supreme Elders behind him having their consciousness continuously stolen, Jiang Xuan shook his head, watching the Chaos Ancient Secret Art gradually calm outside, stepped out of the hidden space.

That seized space, the moment Jiang Xuan walked out shattered into powder, drifting in the void turbulence unknown to anyone.

The instant Jiang Xuan appeared, countless probing consciousnesses landed on his body.

The movement here has already attracted countless powerful forces to probe, that sky-covering space chaos cave just now even more made people feel heart palpitations, if without merge dao, in this chaos cave no one can escape!

This also made people even more curious who was battling here.

"Hahaha! That guy Wang Teng was actually forced to use the Chaos Ancient Secret Art, wonder who this brother is?" A soul projection appeared in midair, wearing a crown cap, a lean face appearing dissipated handsome.

"Jiang Xuan!"

"Brother Jiang Xuan, don't know where Wang Teng ran off to, I'll also go intercept and join in the excitement!" Xiang Yufei said excitedly.

"Who are you?" Jiang Xuan glanced at the other.

"Eh!" Xiang Yufei froze, among the current young talents there's actually someone who doesn't recognize him "Middle Emperor Xiang Yufei"? He's the one who fought the future Great Emperor Wang Teng to a draw, in the future even if not a Great Emperor, he'll certainly become a Quasi-Emperor!

"I am Middle Emperor Xiang Yufei! After I go chase and kill Wang Teng and return, I'll definitely drink wine and talk happily with brother!"

"Wang Teng is dead, also Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Chengfeng and Wang Chengyun, plus eight Supreme Elders all dead!" Jiang Xuan's calm words were like a thunderclap surging in everyone's ears!
