Born with immortal seed

Chapter 854 It's just a life-or-death struggle; who wouldn't do that?

"Truly decisive, even willing to sacrifice the Primordial Qi Azure..."

Bai Zichen felt a pain between his brows, knowing that a major crisis was imminent.

The blinding sword light crashed through the river, sweeping across everywhere with its combined power, calming all turmoil wherever it went.

The Ziwei Xuanlei Sword and the Xiwang Jinmu Sword, which had been firmly suppressing the golden talisman, now had all their sword intent vanished, leaving them like two stubborn pieces of iron stuck in the ground.

Even the Yuan Ying sword he held in his hand had lost its sharpness.

A sharp pain shot through my brow, signaling a warning.

On the other side, unconsciously, he relaxed his true energy, returning to the peaceful world of birdsong, fragrant flowers, and melodious music.

As long as you lay down your weapons, you can be free from illness and disaster and enjoy peace.

This extreme conflict confused him, leaving him no time to discern a solution.

We can only leap and bound in the tributaries of the long river of time, never pausing for a moment.

If you hesitate even for a moment, you will be overtaken by the seemingly gentle sword light and face annihilation.

"You alone have the courage to abandon your principles and risk your life, do you think I don't..."

Bai Zichen's eyes flashed, knowing that the situation had reversed and it was now his turn to be in imminent danger.

The difference in their levels of skill is too great to be compensated for by supernatural sword techniques.

Previously, the position of the Great Dao of Time was high enough to avoid a direct confrontation, and the momentum of the River of Time was used to suppress it.

No matter how formidable one's strength, one can only sigh helplessly at the vastness of time.

However, when Lin Feng destroyed his immortal foundation and forcibly raised his realm, the advantage brought by the River of Time was erased.

Lin Feng could not do anything about the River of Time, but he could forcefully push it aside with ten or a hundred times the power of the Great Dao's true meaning, and taking a short stroll was no problem.

Once the target is killed, the river of time will dissipate, and the predicament will be resolved.

Bai Zichen understood this point and knew that his chance of survival depended on how long this false realm, obtained by sacrificing the Primordial Qi, could be maintained.

Whoever can persevere the longest will ultimately prevail.

He actually possessed a suitable supernatural power to buy time, but the cost of activating it was too high, so he had never used it.

It was founded by a Celestial Venerable of the Dao Court, but was brought to its full glory by the cultivators of the Heavenly Palace!

He used his lifespan to open the Heavenly Gate and suppress all enemies in the world.

For others, the biggest challenge in cultivation is not that they need to burn their lifespan every time they activate it, but that the technique is obscure and they cannot even get started without hundreds or thousands of practice sessions.

Ordinary deductions fail to grasp the essence, making it even more difficult to understand the true meaning.

How many lifespans would it take to withstand hundreds or thousands of attempts? Even powerful beings at the Fusion Realm would hesitate to attempt it.

It was only natural that this supernatural power was neglected in the Daoist court in its early years. I really don't know what methods the Heavenly Palace used to allow its disciples to bypass this restriction.

Bai Zichen had completed the Heavenly Gate Formation in his sea of ​​consciousness using the Cantong Qi, but had not yet used it once.

In this critical moment, there's no time to worry about each Heavenly Gate burning through five hundred years of lifespan.

With a thought, two majestic heavenly gates formed in Lin Feng's sea of ​​consciousness, appearing out of thin air above his head the next moment.

There are four heavenly gates in the ninth heaven, made of deep blue glass and adorned with bright and precious jade.

At that moment, it seemed as if two statues had been moved to the scene, one on each side, pressing down on Lin Feng so much that he couldn't lift his head.

He stumbled and almost fell to his knees.

Even the crisscrossing paths and vibrant caverns behind them couldn't block it.

"So what if I only have a thousand years of lifespan? I'm young enough to take the risk!"

Bai Zichen gritted his teeth, blood flowing from between them, his mouth filled with a metallic taste.

The two Heavenly Gates directly cost him a thousand years of his life, a price that was undeniably heavy, nearly ten percent of his total lifespan.

The supernatural powers they gained in exchange were indeed extraordinary; the two heavenly gates were covered with golden mystical patterns that dazzled the eye.

As you get closer, you feel an urge to kneel before the Heavenly Gate, for the aura emanating from it seems to have endured through countless eras, timeless and eternal.

I've heard that the four heavenly gates in the Nine Heavens don't need anyone to activate them; just standing there gives them an aura that makes even those at the Unity stage tremble with fear and dare not make a move.

This method is meant to simulate the true Heavenly Gate, but ordinary means cannot replicate the wondrous artifacts personally crafted by the Heavenly Emperor; one can only accelerate their lifespan.

The celestial cultivators used this supernatural power to create many miracles.

Both the transformation of the spirit into a spirit and the suppression of the illusory body, and the suppression of the illusory body by the fused body, have occurred.

Of course, this requires the combined efforts of several people, without the threat of death.

Dozens of heavenly gates fell, and even with the advantage of a higher cultivation level, how many people could escape them?

"Tianmenluo...Are you a successor of the Daoist Court or a disciple of the Heavenly Palace?"

Lin Feng's face was grim. The Heavenly Gate was heavier than the Five Sacred Mountains. Moving mountains in reality was not difficult, but moving the Heavenly Gate was as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Even though the entire Immortal Realm is aware of the power of the Heavenly Gate Fall, the only ones who might actually use it as a regular tactic are the disciples of the Heavenly Palace.

The Daoist court paid even more attention to it, but apart from a few people who mastered it, the rest remained outside the gate.

It remains a pipe dream to promote this on a large scale at the grassroots level.

The bones in his body made a teeth-grinding grinding sound, and the pressure on his shoulders was more than a hundred times greater with every inch he lifted.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth. Normally, he wouldn't be afraid of the Heavenly Gate Fall, no matter how mysterious it was.

Even the most imposing and authoritative person needs to be able to command respect and control others to be truly effective.

Unfortunately, in the long river of time, it barely manages to withstand the erosion of time's true meaning. Not to mention traversing the void, it can't even use its ability to teleport or flicker.

It was as if he had used his physical body to withstand two heavenly gates; from his shoulders down, everything was a blur, with flesh and bones tangled together.

If it weren't for its powerful healing ability, the bone and new flesh would have sprouted out long ago, leaving only a bare stick in the middle.

Lin Feng let out a soft shout, as if a piece of porcelain had shattered, and the most beautiful music rang out.

Two streams of bloody tears fell from his eyes, mixed with specks of milky white porcelain.

A surge of power suddenly appeared within him, and the two Heavenly Gates on his shoulders rose up, propelling him forward two more steps.

The sword that had been with him since childhood let out a mournful cry and slashed heavily down into the empty space.

The Taoist in the green robe, whose figure was transparent, was on the other side of the river of time, going in completely opposite directions.

The sword's sharpness and its unyielding strength are what Lin Feng is most proud of and what have been his greatest asset in getting to where he is today.

The fact that he was able to gain the favor of the sixth-tier Zhige Sword during the Core Formation stage was due to these two perfectly compatible sword bones.

But when it comes to life and death, they are just as decisive in giving up, without the slightest hesitation.

Two sword bones were sacrificed in exchange for the Zhige Sword gaining the ability to see through the passage of time.

When you are in the midst of it, the most important thing when attacking the enemy is not the direction or location, but locking onto the figure that travels through the river of time.

Otherwise, either in the past or in the future.

No matter how powerful it is, what good is it if it only hits the physical body and time?

Wherever the sword light passed, even the river of time receded and cleared away, revealing a clear and pure white sky.

Just as he caught his breath, two more heavenly gates descended, pinning him to the spot.

"How is this possible! When will this supernatural power be able to be activated continuously without restriction!"

This time, it was completely immobile; how could it possibly support the four heavenly gates?

Lin Feng roared in frustration, his heart filled with rage.

This Taoist priest in green robes has too many secrets about him; he seems to be a descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, or a disciple of the Heavenly Palace.

Now it seems that the trepidation he felt when he discovered the innate magnetic vein was not directed at the Magnetic Mountain, but at the person hidden inside.

I should have been more cautious. I shouldn't have lost my sense of smallness just because I thought there was no fusion in the Heaven of Separation and I was invincible.

……

"Even if I lose another thousand years of my lifespan, I will still have fought my way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How could I not have this much fighting spirit!"

When they descended to the lower realm, the Qingfeng Sect grew from a small, remote sect surrounded by wolves. Bai Zichen faced a life-or-death test that was unknown to Fanfan.

It was through overcoming the strong with the weak, through fierce battles, that they forged their path to success. Otherwise, they would have perished in the Northern Region long ago, and there would have been no chance for them to rise to prominence later.

Later, he comprehended the Great Dao, mastered swordsmanship, and his supernatural abilities advanced by leaps and bounds, so he rarely had to risk his life.

But when it comes to the crucial moment, they still have the courage to draw their swords and risk their lives.

The Heavenly Gate Fall technique learned from the Hall of Longevity is limited to the Nascent Soul stage and lacks content from the Void Refinement and Body Integration stages, mainly because his status is insufficient.

With this divine power descending from the Heavenly Gate, cultivators in the Daoist realm face immense difficulties in their progress.

Even if it is not used, in order to maintain the prestige of the Heavenly Gate, one's lifespan will be unknowingly drained.

Trying to extract Bai Zichen's lifespan was a pipe dream. Everything was progressing smoothly, and he mastered it in just a few years.

When he had just successfully suppressed Lin Feng and was showing signs of breaking free of the Heavenly Gate, he did not hesitate and immediately activated the Snap of Time.

He had long discovered that this great divine power could take a person back to a point in time, and all their physical state would return to that moment.

Besides being a life-saving technique for rescuing people from danger, it is also a clever way to double the effectiveness of a killing move and make it repeatable.

Returning to the state before ten breaths, the burned lifespan cannot be made up for, but activating the Heavenly Gate again will at least not cause that feeling of soul being torn apart and the sea of ​​qi being ruptured.

With another activation, his two thousand years of lifespan were gone in a short time.

Aside from someone as overly young as Bai Zichen, how many cultivators can actually wield this supernatural power?

No wonder it is so powerful; otherwise, it wouldn't live up to the conditions that triggered it.

However, as long as he advances to the Fusion stage, all these efforts will be made up for in one fell swoop, and he will immediately enjoy the lifespan of one Yuan.

Tianmenluo did not disappoint Bai Zichen's trust; the simultaneous descent of all four peaks was something that could only be accomplished by combining forces.

They echoed each other, forming a unified whole, as if the true Heavenly Gate had reappeared in the Ninth Heaven, and who could possibly escape it?

Faced with the unavoidable Zhige Sword, he could only summon the Earth Deity Star Stone and smash it down fiercely.

The supreme treasure of Xuanhuang merit is called flawless, impervious to all evil and unaffected by any dharma.

A naturally powerful defensive magic weapon that can block any kind of damage.

At this moment, it collided with the Zhige Sword, and after being slashed, it emitted a burst of yellow light, made a muffled roar, and then fell while spinning.

The bright yellow Earth Dezhen Star Stone immediately dimmed, and at least half of the merit power stored inside was gone.

At least he managed to block the Zhige Sword. Lin Feng, who was firmly suppressed by the four Heavenly Gates, had no ability to unleash such a powerful sword strike again.

It's enough to traverse the river of time, dodging back and forth, since time is on your side anyway.

……

A quarter of an hour later, after Lin Feng destroyed the empty shell of the Integration Realm he had gained by destroying the Primordial Qi Azure, and returned to being an ordinary Perfected Void Refinement Realm cultivator, he had no power to resist the Heavenly Gate Fall.

As time flows by, his face ages rapidly, deep wrinkles cover his entire body, and his expression is one of fear.

Another day passed, and his flesh was pulverized, his bones withered, and he fell to the ground without a sound.

The Heavenly Gate had long since vanished, but Lin Feng's physical body and primordial spirit had also passed away, decaying and rotting down to every hair and every strand of consciousness.

Even cultivators who were once incredibly close to achieving the Fusion stage could not withstand the erosion of time.

Even if there were an incarnation or a reincarnation, it wouldn't be effective; they would either perish together or die in the womb.

Having absorbed the true essence of time from the Three Lifetimes Sword Technique, dying here means truly dying; don't even think about having a next life.

Only when Lin Feng manifested in the world did he summon several fragments of the cave heavens in the real world to be received by the Shaohua Cave Heaven during the process of their disintegration, and forcibly merged them together.

A deafening roar was heard, and the world of Shaohua Cave expanded by 30%, with countless spiritual mountains and fairy lakes appearing, and countless rare treasures emerging.

The spiritual energy of the cave is equally earth-shattering, far surpassing the feedback from advancing to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm.
