Chapter 65: Desperate Measures to Survive

"Is this the true strength of a Half-Step Great Power or even a Great Power? As expected, it's not something I can match." Jiang Xuan felt a chill in his heart. He used every means at his disposal; sword radiance pierced the Void, the Eight Trigrams Furnace suppressed his own body, and the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe offered unmatched defense. Within this dim light like a thin silk, he shifted Space, with crimson radiance and Purple Light desperately blocking the dim light's erosion.

However, it was of no use. Jiang Xuan could clearly sense that behind him, a gaze filled with malice and heat was fixed on him.

If he relaxed even for One Breath, the sky-covering dim light would completely erode his defenses and then blast him to death. This forced Jiang Xuan to flee desperately, unable even to counterattack.

The gap was too great. Jiang Xuan guessed the newcomer was likely Yaoguang Shengzi's Protector of the Way, with a cultivation realm of at least Half-Step Great Power at the Immortal Platform First Layer, possibly even a Great Power.

And with his current combat power, he should be between the Four Extremes and Dragon Transformation; below Dragon Transformation he was invincible, as for the Dragon Transformation Realm, he would only know after fighting.

"Pity, during battle I cannot use the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror's shifting function, nor do I have time to refine the Li Fire Divine Furnace. Otherwise, perhaps I could exchange a few blows with the Renren Yimai's Path Protector, but not now. All my strength is used for defense and flight; I cannot spare attention to refine the Li Fire Divine Furnace, or I'd be killed in a single exchange."

While resisting the dim light's erosion, Jiang Xuan constantly pondered a way to break the deadlock.

"Where exactly should I flee? Where can I flee? Shifting to the Fengyun World or Tianlong World requires blocking at least three breaths of dim light. Even if I block for a moment, I cannot guarantee the Renren Yimai will immediately strike again. Recklessly crossing over, I fear I'd die without a burial place. Although the Immortal Trapping Sword's flight speed is fast, the dim light is like a bone-attached maggot I can't shake off; the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe likely can't block it, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace cannot be refined."

In the blink of an eye, thought after thought flashed through Jiang Xuan's mind, but after considering back and forth, he actually found no viable path to survival.

Helplessly, he could only constantly dodge and resist within the range covered by the dim light, completely unable to escape the dim light region.

"What exactly is this constitution? Sword intent radiates from his fingertips, annihilating everything—too extraordinary. Purple Light is like an Immortal's flower canopy, defense unmatched; that furnace is extremely compatible with the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, its intent is extremely high."

The old man's gaze was sharp as lightning, extremely hot. In the moment they exchanged blows, he saw through Jiang Xuan's reality. If the Divine Embryo could devour this boy's Primordial Qi, he would walk the path of true invincibility, more terrifying than devouring the Primordial Qi of thousands of special constitutions.

"Unparalleled through the ages, not inferior to the Ancient Desolate Holy Body!"

Standing in the Void, as if looking at a rare treasure of the world. In his gaze, Jiang Xuan's Dao Rhyme truly manifested, every detail revealed. A peerless Immortal Sword with killing intent soaring to the heavens, a Bronze Furnace refining heaven and transforming earth, a robe of Purple Light innately invincible. These magic treasures Jiang Xuan had refined—in the old man's eyes, they were his manifestation of the Dao.

Nothing at all could escape this Yin Du Old Man.

While pursuing, the Yin Du Old Man's gaze flashed, a ruthless color crossed his eyes. Suddenly a Great Dao Treasure Vase appeared; its dark light flowed, like black jade, its style not complex, giving a feeling of the Dao being supremely simple.

As soon as the Great Dao Treasure Vase appeared, mountains crumbled and the earth split, Wind and Cloud surged. This region of Tian Di shook violently, as if it could suppress a region of Time, countless profound mysteries flowing within.

The old man drew trajectories with both hands, forming the Great Dao Treasure Vase Seal. The Great Dao Treasure Vase was held high above his head, profound and unmatched.

Suddenly, the mouth of the vase turned, the dark mouth aimed at Jiang Xuan. Endless killing intent burst forth at this moment, sky-covering. The terrifying momentum was as shocking as stars collapsing. Jiang Xuan felt his flesh and soul at this moment as if pressed down by an Ancient Tai Gu Shen Shan, his body on the verge of splitting.

"I can't dodge. This strike will surely kill me!"

Jiang Xuan's heart jolted, his thoughts raced madly. Like a sudden inspiration, he swung a sword; the crimson sword light directly shot toward Yaoguang Shengzi, who was sitting cross-legged in place recovering.

"Junior, you dare!"

A roar that shattered Shan He. The Protector of the Way was shocked and dismayed. Everything within dozens of li turned to dust in this roar. He was furious to the extreme. This Jiang Xuan was actually so cunning, using a move to besiege Wei to rescue Zhao.

The Great Dao Treasure Vase suddenly dimmed its dim light. He moved one hand inward and one outward, bringing his hands together. Dim light rushed out of the Great Dao Treasure Vase, these dim lights quickly condensed into layer after layer of Barrier, blocking in front of Yaoguang Shengzi.

While holding the Great Dao Treasure Vase, the Protector of the Way simultaneously attacked that Immortal Trapping Sword Qi. A darkness of devouring power suddenly descended upon the Void, entwining the Immortal Trapping Sword Qi, wanting to grind the sword qi to extinction.

"Old ghost, rather than saving Yaoguang Shengzi, why not give me the Renren inheritance? Although he is a Heaven's Pride, he ultimately lost to me. If I receive the Renren inheritance, I will surely push forward all the way, devouring all special constitutions under heaven and earth. Cultivating the Chaos Body is imminent."

"In the current world, among the younger generation, who can compare with me? Why not give up Yaoguang and let me devour him? The Renren Yimai will produce another Extreme Dao Great Emperor. Isn't that wonderful!"

Jiang Xuan's words were seductive, as if giving up Yaoguang Shengzi and letting him accept the Renren inheritance would be the most correct choice in the Yin Du Old Man's life.

The Yin Du Old Man's gaze flickered, and his divine power involuntarily slowed down.

"Chi!"

Crimson sword qi suddenly appeared. Tian Di was filled with crimson radiance. The Dadi began to collapse, began to sink.

No one could describe how terrifying the power of Jiang Xuan's sword, which poured all his strength into the Immortal Trapping Sword Qi, was at this moment.

Around Jiang Xuan's entire body, Space Cracks were directly shattered, spreading densely like a spider web in all directions!

"Chi chi chi! Chi chi chi!"

Yaoguang Shengzi sat cross-legged in place. Watching the moment the Immortal Trapping Sword Qi collapsed Space, he was so shocked he could not speak. In his heart he felt both desolation and the vastness of Tian Di, so many heroes. At this moment, all his pride and arrogance were extinguished by this sword.

This feeling—desolation, tragedy, helplessness, and a trace of regret—various emotions crossed and mixed together. Blood and intent interwove, finally leaving only the calmness of facing death with equanimity.

A trace of surprise flashed in Jiang Xuan's gaze. He had underestimated this Yaoguang Shengzi. Such a state of mind, such combat power—no wonder he surpassed various Heaven's Prides and became the number one great enemy on Ye Fan's Emperor Road.

But the enemy is the enemy. An enemy must be slaughtered completely. He would not show mercy. The opportunity must not be lost; once lost, it never comes again. Endless killing intent enveloped Yaoguang Shengzi.

The Yin Du Old Man's entire body surged as he rushed toward Yaoguang Shengzi. With a wave of his big hand, a vast dim light enveloped everything, blocking Jiang Xuan's shocking sword qi. He only then reacted, furious and ashamed. He had actually been seduced by Jiang Xuan. In this moment of distraction, this scoundrel seized the opening to kill the Divine Embryo.

"Immortal Trapping Sword Qi, slash for me!" This crimson light entwined sword qi fiercely slashed. The defensive barrier the Yin Du Old Man hastily formed was actually slashed to extinction.

This was an inconceivable scene. Even if hastily done, even if only one-tenth of his power, it should not be slashed through by a junior.

"Puff!"

The Immortal Trapping Sword Light that had slashed the dim light barrier continued to blast toward Yaoguang Shengzi. The remaining sword light directly pierced Yaoguang Shengzi's shoulder. The sword intent that annihilated everything raged within his body. Yaoguang Shengzi, already heavily injured, directly lost consciousness.

"Junior, I will make you die without a burial place!"

The Yin Du Old Man roared furiously, his gaze blood-red. The fire of anger ignited everything, as if he wanted to swallow Jiang Xuan alive and flay him. He flashed to Yaoguang Shengzi's side, crazily outputting divine power, trying to preserve Yaoguang Shengzi's vitality. His other hand glowed with dim light, choosing someone to devour, wanting to strike directly at Jiang Xuan.

If this scoundrel is not eliminated, he cannot rest easy to heal the Divine Embryo's injuries.

A muffled groan!

Sword light shattered Space. Jiang Xuan disappeared!
