Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 178 Tianshu
At the top of the golden ladder, countless divine thunders surged, transforming into a pure golden sea. The lightning was brilliant, like a huge sun rising from the clouds.

A touch of purple suddenly broke in, circulating and circling, standing in the vast golden sea of thunder, like a lonely boat, in danger of capsizing at any time.

Xu Xuan exhaled lightly, and the [Danting] sword continued to ring. The sword intent was generated and turned into a round state, constantly cutting off the surging golden lightning. He stood firmly here, and then pointed the long sword directly at the person in front of him.

The white-robed scholar in front of him held the golden sword in his hand, and the entire sea of thunder rolled and shook because of his movements. There were swift ghosts with laws, golden-armored gods, purple-gold sky snakes, golden thunder suns and other images appearing around him.

"Zhou Shi."

The scholar in white before him still had a gentle and kind smile on his face as he quietly stated his name. A hint of pure gold gradually appeared in his eyes.

Just standing here brought more pressure to Xu Xuan than any previous opponent. The power of heaven was overwhelming, electric snakes were running, and thunder was exploding, as if scolding him for overestimating his own abilities.

Xu Xuan activated the [Zelong Body], and Mingze's innate magical power was also activated. The dark Yin light surged on the reverse scales, the water was calm, and the flood overflowed, and even the [Jade Blood Heart] was fully amplified.

His realm rushed to the late stage of foundation building in an instant. His body was madly absorbing the thunder and lightning essence liquid. The spiritual liquid that combined creation and destruction continuously provided him with magic power, almost bursting his sea of ​​qi.

"Mu Youdu."

"please."

Both sides drew their swords, and a golden incense began to burn slowly in Xu Xuan's sea of qi.

Xu Xuan moved first, activating the [Marsh-Trapping Dragon Technique], and with the cooperation of the immortal base, the lake of thunder overturned and turned the surroundings into his home ground. He sat in charge, controlling the thunder. The divine thunder dragon in the immortal base was activated, and three thunders merged and turned into a purple thunder dragon leaping in the lake.

As his mind moved, the Thunder Dragon began to move in a cycle like the sword intent, and the entire swamp changed accordingly. Finally, with his body as the peak, it exploded, turned into a stream of light, and slashed down with red lightning, like a floodgate bursting.

Zhou Shi was still standing there, and even took the initiative to disperse the golden divine thunder that supported him. There was nothing around him but misty clouds. He did not make any unnecessary movements, just a slash.

The dazzling golden sword light came at an unimaginable speed, as if it had existed before Xu Xuan drew his sword, waiting for him. It was obviously Xu Xuan who attacked first, but the other party drew his sword and took the initiative back in an instant.

Xu Xuan looked at the sword light coming at him and had to switch from offense to defense. The purple thunder dragon lingered on the sword body, and the powerful and lofty sword intent slashed forward, turning into a circle and blocking the sword light.

It was as if thousands of mountains were collapsing and the pressure of tens of thousands of troops was transmitted from the sword light. The thunder dragons condensed from three thunders were cut down in an instant, and the sword intent that was originally cyclical and could not be moved by external objects showed a flaw.

The sword light continued to slash forward with undiminished power, splitting the Thunder Lake in half like a golden bird splitting the sea, leaving only a ray of skylight.

Xu Xuan used [Dan Ting] to strike continuously, and the sword intent was almost solidified, turning into a natural circle. Taixu shattered under this terrifying sword intent, and then healed in an instant, finally completely wearing out the sword light.

At this moment, he was almost knocked down from the top of the golden sea of thunder. He stood still with the sword in his hand and took a deep breath. Only then did the golden incense in the sea of qi begin to burn a little.

Zhou Shi now held the golden sword, his eyes had turned into a dazzling golden color, his voice was mellow, his robes moved with the mighty wind, and he said in a low voice:
"I won't hold back. If you value your life, then go down."

A hazy purple light gradually rose in Xu Xuan's serpentine pupils. He felt that the blood in his body was burning hot, and his soul was trembling. The sword spirit on [Dan Ting] was cheering and shouting. He just smiled and said:

"Come!"

The three swords of [Mu Ming], [Qing Zhi] and [Dong Xi] were drawn out at the same time, and the [Dan Ting] in their hands turned into silver and white and appeared at the same time. The magic swords stood in four directions, and the sword intent spread.

Vibrating sounds, moonlight, solar flames, and thunderous calamities surged out simultaneously, integrating into the circulating, eternally unchanging sword intent. The [Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Punishment Sword Formation] was activated at this time, locking Zhou Shi inside.

The thunder lake overflowed, and the immortal foundation was activated to the maximum extent, connected with this sword formation. He visualized the [Tianpeng Zhumotu], and three heavenly soldiers appeared, each leading an area and guarding it with a sword. Xu Xuan sat in the east, holding the [Danting] in his hand, controlling the place with the strongest murderous intent.

This sword formation has extremely high requirements on his physique, magic power, spiritual awareness and swordsmanship, and it is almost impossible to use it after building a foundation. Xu Xuan has been tempered by heavenly thunder and refined his spirit, and he still has a dragon body, so he can barely use it.

There was a vast expanse of space in the sword formation. Zhou Shi raised his head, with a look of surprise and trance in his eyes.

"If it were in ancient times, you would indeed be qualified to ascend to heaven and enter the Thunder Palace."

His voice was not loud, but it spread throughout the place, and countless golden divine thunders changed and echoed it.

Xu Xuan said nothing, manipulating the sword formation. Heaven, earth, and man all felt murderous intent. The yin and yang energies rotated, purple thunder was hazy, and white thunder was dazzling. Everything condensed into one place and turned into a sword wheel, suppressing it down.

Zhou Shifa's sword went against the trend and resisted the sword wheel that exuded boundless murderous intent. The countless golden divine thunders around him wanted to help, but they were repelled by him.

He did not have any other magical weapons on his body, only a sword, and he had never used any magic or sword moves. He only used the sword intent to fight the enemy. He was the last to strike but the first to arrive, faster than cause and effect. No matter what means Xu Xuan used, he would just cut with one sword, and the opponent would have to guard against it.

The vast sword wheel was cut into pieces, and the golden sword light cast by the opponent was also shattered. Xu Xuan's mind sank a little, and when the magic swords collided, he felt the problem with the golden sword in the opponent's hand.

It is not an ancient magic weapon, nor is it a purple palace spiritual sword. It is made of ordinary iron, ordinary and without any magic. However, with the blessing of the extremely fast sword intent, it has become a first-class killing weapon in the world.

"At the Foundation Establishment stage, I'm afraid there's no one stronger than the one before me. This is the might of a sword that can shatter all laws." Xu Xuan's mind was burning, his eyes blazing, and a mighty sword intent was surging. He wanted to use the other party as a whetstone to temper his own nascent sword intent.

Zhou Shi seemed to see what the person in front of him was thinking, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. On the tip of his sword, many golden divine thunders condensed and turned into a bright sun, which he picked up with his sword.

It was not until now that he used some means for the first time. The divine thunder sun moved along the green path, extremely masculine and strong, combined with the sword intent, ready to go, emitting an extremely terrifying aura.

The scholar in white raised his sword to the sun, looked at the sword formation above, and said in a deep voice:

"Traveling with the sky, the celestial pivot remains unmoved."

The sword swung out, and Xu Xuan had already prepared for it before the sword was drawn, but it was useless. The opponent's sword was too fast, and every move came before Xu Xuan made a move.

The divine thunder sun with sword intent instantly broke through the [Heavenly Tribulation and Earthly Punishment Sword Formation] and replaced Xu Xuan as the hub of this place. Zhou Shi lightly snapped his fingers, and the magic sword in his hand returned to the divine thunder sun.

With Tianshu now fixed, Xu Xuan tried to change his shape with Lei Ze, but he could not escape no matter what. Always under the shining of the divine thunder sun, the golden magic sword arrived in an instant and went straight to Xu Xuan's heart.

He revealed his true form, his dragon body leaped, bright light surged on the dark gray dragon scales, his talent of [Buxing] was activated, and [Xiyan] even raised a surging wall of fire. The sun's divine light shone down to protect the dragon's body.

The three heavenly soldiers rushed forward together, holding swords to block, but were instantly killed and turned into scattered lightning. Xu Xuan held the sword with his dragon head, and his dragon body danced like a circle, meeting the golden sword in an instant.

The sword intent collided, and various colored magic lights rushed out, clearing the surroundings. The earth, water, wind and fire were spinning, and there was a vast expanse of space. Lightning surged in all directions, and the scene could no longer be seen.

The originally vast Lei Ze was gradually shrinking, and the crystal dragon blood was leaking onto the ground. Zhou Shi frowned slightly, as if he was waiting for something, and stood there quietly.

A ray of light from the sky broke through, and Xu Xuan's body turned into a flash of lightning and flew out, appearing from the vast lightning. His body was seriously injured, with only his right arm remaining. His left arm, which had turned into a dragon shape, was nailed by the golden sword, but it also gave him a chance.

It was not until this time that he finally turned from defense to offense, and rushed to the front of the opponent in an instant. He swung [Dan Ting] and slashed down, and the powerful sword intent circulated and slashed. This magic sword was connected with his mind. His energy and spirit reached the peak, and he slashed out the most powerful sword in his life.

Zhou Shi looked at the dark magic sword coming towards him, and did not dodge. Instead, a smile appeared on his face, and he used his fingers as swords. The two swords collided with each other, and the roar resounded throughout the place, and then both of them flew backwards.

Almost at the same time, the two men stood up. Xu Xuan looked inward at his Qi Sea and saw that the golden incense had been mostly lit. He urged his [Jade Blood Heart] to repair his injuries as quickly as possible, but the sword energy left in his left arm blocked his flesh and blood, making it difficult to deal with.

Zhou Shi's momentum also dropped a little at this time. He recalled the golden sword, on which Xu Xuan's left arm was still nailed. The scales and claws were sharp and the dragon blood was dripping. He swung the magic sword and sent the arm in front of Xu Xuan. He gestured slightly and temporarily put away the sword.

Xu Xuan reattached his left arm, and the dragon scales healed the wound. He exhaled lightly. He had already exhausted all his skills and was almost at the end of his strength, while the opponent's momentum was only slightly reduced.

He whispered in his heart:
"Three more drops of essence liquid."

"You will die. Your body will explode."

Tiantuo's voice sounded, as if giving a warning. At this moment, Xu Xuan had completely immersed his mind in this battle. He was extremely happy, and his sword intent became more condensed and powerful.

"If we retreat like this, what's the difference between that and death?"

Xu Xuan's life was trembling. He felt that he was now walking on a road where he could only move forward and not retreat. Once he retreated and gave way, he would never have the chance to reach the highest point in his life.

The golden incense burned slowly, with only a short flame left, but the scholar in white in front of him had already picked up the sword again. The divine thunder sun in the sky shone down, and the golden sword energy circulated around the sky, locking onto Xu Xuan.

There was no more sound coming from the Qi Sea. Three drops of thunder essence liquid dispersed and turned into thunder mist and poured in. The scales all over Xu Xuan's body exploded, and his flesh and blood shattered. He activated [Xi Yan] to bind his own body tightly to prevent his magic power from leaking out.

His Qi Sea was on the verge of exploding in the truest sense, and his Immortal Foundation even showed signs of crumbling. The surging Lightning Energy stretched his meridians throughout his body, and his eyes turned into an extremely pure purple.

The dragon head appeared, and it spit out a breath of extremely pure purple thunder, which landed on [Dan Ting]. The magic sword made a sword sound of extreme joy.

The purple thunder lake overturned again, like a vast ocean. Xu Xuan gripped the magic sword tightly and raised it high. Countless purple thunders responded to the call, extending upwards, turning into part of the magic sword and going straight into the sky.

He looked solemn and dignified, his [Jade Blood Heart] beating wildly, like a war drum, almost draining all his blood and energy. His magic power surged, all of it was added to this sword.

The sword light extended straight up and connected with thousands of thunder branches and electric snakes, slashing down. The vast thunder lake lifted up Xu Xuan's body, and the hazy purple light shone on him, making him look like a god.

Zhou Shi was extremely solemn, and pointed the golden sword forward. The divine thunder fell like a sun on the sword. The place where he stood was the center of heaven and earth. The endless golden divine thunder condensed into substance, met with the sword's intention, and slashed out straight away.

There was chaos, and at the top of the ladder, only purple and gold remained, nothing else.

In Xu Xuan's Qi Sea, the gray stone statue's face seemed to be chiseled by a knife, and a hole slowly appeared. It was a breath, and chaotic Qi spread out. A shocking sound was heard, which was completely connected with his immortal foundation.
