Pure Yang!

Chapter 436 Clash with the Three Corpse Gods

The wind was strong, the sky was high, and the moonlight flowed like water.

Dark clouds drift like boats, while verdant mountains stand tall like monuments.

The figure arrived from afar, and the surrounding atmosphere instantly vanished, leaving only a vast expanse of heaven and earth. In everyone's sight, it seemed as if only he remained.

Zhang Wuming breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Mingchan's gaze suddenly fell upon it.

A unique radiance appeared on Yu Xuanji's beautiful face.

"Zhang Fan, you've finally arrived," Yu Xuanji exclaimed.

She seemed to have been waiting for a long time and was eager to try.

“Zhang Fan…another member of the Zhang family!?” Shen Mingchan gave Zhang Fan a deep look, seemingly lost in thought.

"If you had been any slower, I would have been gone."

Zhang Wuming took a step back, intentionally or unintentionally, and stood behind Zhang Fan.

At this moment, Zhang Fan's gaze was fixed on Yu Xuanji from the moment he appeared, his mind completely focused on her.

“Zhang Fan, I told you, we will be together eventually,” Yu Xuanji said.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingchan couldn't help but reveal a strange look in her eyes.

As a disciple of Gezao Mountain, he had long been in the Xijiang region and knew Yu Xuanji quite well.

This successor of Sanqing Mountain was as aloof as a fairy banished from heaven. She was extremely proud and rarely interacted with outsiders. Even among her fellow practitioners, very few could catch her eye. How could she have ever spoken so bluntly in front of a man?
With this in mind, Shen Mingchan's expression towards Zhang Fan was now correct.

“Yu Xuanji, on Zhenwu Mountain, I truly regret not killing you,” Zhang Fan said coldly.

If it weren't for Yu Xuanji, how could that tiny speck of dust have allowed Chu Chaoran's Three Corpse Gods, which had been sealed for sixty years, to escape and avoid the Pure Yang Tribulation?

Because of the calamity that mortals face, the prophecy of the Patriarch of Zhenwu Mountain came true.

"Kill me?" Yu Xuanji's lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

"Zhang Fan, no one in this world understands you better than me."

"I know you possess the potential to become a dragon among men. Perhaps, in this generation of the Daoist sect..."

"You are the number one in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingchan's expression changed drastically. If such words had come from someone else, they would have been considered ravings and wild pronouncements. However, coming from Yu Xuanji, they filled him with unease and were impossible to ignore.

He looked at Zhang Fan with some disbelief; he had never even heard of this name before.

"It's a pity, you don't understand yourself, nor do you understand me." Yu Xuanji's smile had become more distant and sarcastic.

"You can't kill me."

"Then give it a try!"

Zhang Fan spoke softly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he took a step forward. A loud bang shook the ground beneath his feet, and the terrifying force launched him out like a cannonball.

Without further ado, at this moment, Zhang Fan's bloodlust surged.

hum...

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fan was already in front of Yu Xuanji. At that speed, a distance of a hundred feet was covered in the blink of an eye.

His afterimage, as seen by Shen Mingchan and Zhang Wuming, had already transformed into a trajectory, as if time and space were intertwined, making it difficult to distinguish.

"Such speed!" Shen Mingchan's eyes narrowed to a single line.

With just this one step, he knew that this was a great master whose physical strength had reached the secrets of the Life Palace; otherwise, he would not have been able to move so fast, and his physical body and bones would not have been able to withstand it.

Rumble…

Yu Xuanji's gaze suddenly darkened, and a powerful aura rushed towards her like a wall. Her chest tightened, and the air she breathed in felt like a ball of fire, burning intensely in her throat.

"You've made great progress!" Yu Xuanji said softly.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Fan's fist suddenly arrived, the sound of it tearing through the air like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt.

Rumble…

The terrifying force pressed down like a bulldozer, and Yu Xuanji's body twisted rapidly, turning into a blur as she flew away. Such power would have turned an ordinary person into a pile of minced meat long ago.

bang bang bang...

The deafening sounds echoed through the depths of the mountains, creating large craters in the ground and sending plumes of dust billowing into the sky.

A faint smell of blood wafted through the air.

hum...

Suddenly, a milky white halo rose up, breaking through the scattered smoke and dust.

Yu Xuanji walked out. Under the moonlight, her chest was torn open, and the flesh was writhing. However, the dripping blood had a milky white halo, which set off the bright red color.

"Hmm!?" Zhang Fan's gaze darkened slightly, and he saw that Yu Xuanji's chest revealed a stark white bone. The bone was completely different from human bones, with a faint silver sheen on its surface and interwoven with faint fire patterns. Subtle sounds were transmitted, as if the bone marrow was constantly creating blood.

This blood is extraordinary. Just like the one that just dripped down, it is wrapped in a milky white halo and contains powerful vitality. If it flows in the body, it will constantly refine the flesh and cleanse the body.

If this continues, all illnesses will disappear, and achieving mastery of life cultivation will only be a matter of time.

"Dragon bone!?" Zhang Wuming's expression changed slightly.

As a disciple of the Northern Zhang, he had seen and read many ancient books and secret texts, some of which contained records of such things.

The so-called dragon bone belongs to the category of "rare treasures of mountains and seas". It is a treasure created by the dragon vein. It is usually hidden in deep mountains and marshes, and is only exposed from the mountain range when there is an earthquake or landslide.

Each time it is born, it is accompanied by thunder and lightning, and a strange roar comes from the mountains, like the cry of a dragon.

After the storm, it can be found deep in the mountains.

It is a strange mineral with a reddish-black surface and a silvery-white interior. This treasure is naturally compatible with human flesh and blood. Once transplanted into the body, it is comparable to the "Golden Tendons and Jade Bones" of the Zhai Shou realm, and is a supreme treasure for cultivating the Life Palace.

The bones of a naturally born spirit fetus are very similar to those of a dragon, except that they go a step further.

The dragon vein that gave birth to such rare treasures could not give birth to a "natural spirit embryo", so it could only go as far as the dragon bone stage.

Even so, a single dragon bone is extremely precious.

"The dragon bones enshrined at Sanqing Mountain were given to her!?" Shen Mingchan asked thoughtfully.

He knew that over the long years, two dragon bones had been found in Sanqing Mountain and had been enshrined there, offering incense and prayers, but had never been given to any disciple.

After all, rare treasures from mountains and seas are not something everyone can enjoy.

In retrospect, one of them was given to Yu Xuanji.

"Zhang Fan, your progress is really fast. You are even more amazing than you were at Zhenwu Mountain."

As the surrounding smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the wound on Yu Xuanji's chest was healing at a visible speed.

"Is your life cultivation about to reach its peak?" Yu Xuanji whispered.

Facing Zhang Fan, who was about to achieve mastery of his life cultivation technique, Yu Xuanji showed no fear whatsoever. Compared to when she was in the Ten Thousand Mountains, her progress was even faster and greater.

The difference between the two is like night and day.

"The Three Corpse Gods!"

Zhang Fan knew that Yu Xuanji's transformation stemmed from his Three Corpse Gods.

"No matter how strong you become, you can't kill me." Yu Xuanji's words were confident and provocative.

Rumble…

As soon as he finished speaking, fire suddenly erupted in Zhang Fan's palm.

The blazing red flames, when they encounter the raging black wind, are like wildfire unleashed, suddenly turning into a raging torrent of black flames.

"Black flames!?"

Black winds and flames soared into the sky, their ferocious nature obscuring the moonlight. Everyone's vision seemed to be burned away, and everything they looked at was stinging painfully.

"The Zhang family of Longhu Mountain, after suffering such a great calamity, still has such a powerful figure!?" Shen Mingchan roared in her heart.

He could naturally tell that this was no ordinary fire technique. It was based on the fire techniques of his predecessors, but transcended the true meaning of burning, and seemed to possess the six mysteries of profound understanding. It had already formed its own school.

Wow…

Suddenly, lightning surged around Yu Xuanji, pouring out like waves. The purple lightning crackled and merged, revealing a mixed white light. "Mixed White Lightning!"

The strange lightning exuded a chilling aura, splashing onto the ground like water, causing the ground beneath one's feet to seem to dissipate, leaving only a boiling mist.

Yu Xuanji gently reached out her jade hand, scooped up the water-like lightning, and the mixed white electric light melted in her palm.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Zhang Fan's killing intent intensified, and Yu Xuanji's [Divine Firmament Thunder Technique] also underwent a transformation, becoming infinitely more powerful than it had been in the Ten Thousand Mountains.

All these changes originated from the Three Corpse Gods.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered what Chu Chaoran had told him:

"The Three Corpse Gods are most compatible with the original body, just like Yin and Yang in the world. However, they are also each other's calamities. Once separated, it is like a dragon returning to the sea or a tiger entering the deep mountains..."

"Once He finds a compatible primordial spirit and unites with it, He can generate immeasurable changes, which are extremely mysterious."

"kill!"

Zhang Fan's eyes sharpened, and black winds and flames soared into the sky, surging towards Yu Xuanji.

Almost at the same moment, Yu Xuanji also moved, and the mixed white thunder surged like a rolling wave, moving forward.

Rumble…

The two figures collided and became blurred in everyone's sight.

Black wind and raging fire!

Mixed White Thunder!

Two completely different forces intertwined, creating a terrifying spectacle that soared into the sky, dividing the vast night sky into two distinct shades of black and white.

Thunder roared, flames raged, and everything was filled with signs of destruction.

The fierce wind pressed down on the mountains and forests, and terrifying echoes reverberated in the quiet valley, like a destructive roar of destruction.

"Yu Xuanji, she has actually cultivated to this level?" Shen Mingchan was greatly surprised.

He had always regarded Yu Xuanji as a rival, after all, in this land of Xijiang, the only one worthy of his attention was this successor of Sanqing Mountain.

In his mind, Yu Xuanji might be slightly stronger, or he might be stronger; there might be a difference between the two, but it wouldn't be significant.

Therefore, he has always maintained an independent personality and an aloof demeanor in front of Yu Xuanji.

However, at this moment, the strength that Yu Xuanji displayed completely exceeded his expectations.

Rumble…

Suddenly, the black fire trembled, the white lightning retreated, and two mysterious auras soared into the sky, radiating a dazzling light.

"Soul leaving the body!"

Zhang Wuming's pupils suddenly contracted, and his primordial spirit left his body. The danger was extreme; this was a true life-or-death struggle.

"Yu Xuanji, let's see how you manage to kill her."

Zhang Fan's voice was magnificent and resounding, echoing deep within the vast mountains and fields.

Suddenly, a dark mass seeped out from Zhang Fan's primordial spirit, like a long night, like thick ink, covering the sky and slowly dissolving.

"what is that?"

Shen Mingchan looked up and saw the overwhelming darkness that blotted out the sky. His expression changed drastically, and he felt a strong sense of unease.

That feeling, like the burial ground of life and death, the final resting place of the primordial spirit, made him feel the ultimate terror, and his brow and heart trembled.

"The Divine Demon Holy Embryo!?" Zhang Wuming murmured softly.

Rumble…

The abyss-like darkness radiated outwards, instantly covering a radius of a kilometer.

Yu Xuanji's primordial spirit was trapped in a quagmire, and she wanted to escape, but it was too late.

"The Demon's Heart Has Gone Deep!"

The sky was filled with darkness, like an abyss descending, completely sealing Yu Xuanji's primordial spirit inside. The sky was dark, the earth was without light, and everything was in ruins.

The world was a vast, dark void, like a dark, unlit night!

"Zhang Fan!"

Yu Xuanji's primordial spirit roared, carrying a calm yet furious tone.

"Yu Xuanji, let me see what you're capable of."

Zhang Fan's voice echoed in the dark abyss. The sky was not bright, and the night was eternal. This was a calamity for the primordial spirit, and the end of cultivation.

On that day, in Zhongnan Mountain, Zhang Fan used this move to suppress Luo Sen's Jia Sheng Gui Si.

hum...

The dark abyss is contracting and coalescing.

The eternal darkness seemed to writhe, and Yu Xuanji's primordial spirit was as if it had fallen into an endless sea of ​​suffering, constantly sinking into despair.

Such a decline seems endless, even those with innate spiritual essence will be lost.

"The Divine Demon Holy Embryo... truly worthy of being one of the Nine Laws." Zhang Wuming's expression was solemn as he sensed Yu Xuanji's aura steadily waning.

"Zhang Fan, you can't kill me."

Yu Xuanji's voice came again, and suddenly, her primordial spirit disappeared, as if it had completely vanished into the dark abyss and disappeared into the dark night.

"Can you hide it?" Zhang Fan asked coldly.

Rumble…

Suddenly, a terrifying aura emanated from Zhang Fan's primordial spirit, followed by flickering flames bursting forth from his eyes, mouth, and nose...

The brilliance of the flame gives rise to samadhi, soaring into the sky and sweeping across the Milky Way.

"This is……"

Shen Mingchan's expression changed drastically. His eyes were filled with the mysterious firelight, and even the shock in his eyes was obscured.

"The secrets of the Xuanmen (Taoist sects) that are not passed down, the supreme divine power of Taoism!"

"This is Samadhi Fire!?"

This senior disciple of the Lingbao Sect could hardly believe it. The legendary divine power had appeared before his eyes so openly, and it was even being used by his primordial spirit. That would truly destroy the very foundation of his life and the very source of his cultivation.

In heaven and on earth, there is death but no life.

"Yu Xuanji, I'll see if I can burn you to death." Zhang Fan was truly driven to murder.

This was also the first time in his life that he had used his primordial spirit to activate the Samadhi True Fire.

Zhang Fan knew very well that Demon Heart Abyss could only trap Luo Sen for a while, and it was even more inadequate to deal with Yu Xuanji. Therefore, at this moment, he held nothing back and directly used the Heavenly Gift Divine Power.

Rumble…

The mysterious flames spread across the sky, engulfing the entire dark abyss.

That kind of darkness swallowed the light of heaven and earth, and even the Samadhi True Fire could not illuminate the area it reached. However, that earth-shattering power was everywhere, and within the darkness, there seemed to be boiling waves.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

Just then, a series of painful screams came from the depths of darkness, heart-wrenching and agonizing.

The Samadhi True Fire can burn the heavens and destroy the earth; even if Yu Xuanji has the power to turn the world upside down, she will have nowhere to hide.

At this moment, her primordial spirit reappeared, continuously crumbling and dissipating within the Samadhi True Fire.

Roar……

At the same time, a sinister shadow broke free from Yu Xuanji's primordial spirit.

"The Three Corpse Gods!"

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Fan realized that the shadow bore an eight or nine-tenths resemblance to himself, like the yin and yang of the world, or the universe of the Dao. The moment it appeared, he sensed its presence.

Rumble…

At that moment, Zhang Fan's primordial spirit shone brightly. He took a step forward and arrived beside the shadow. He suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.
