System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"Too fast! Stop them!"

The old man was horrified to see that the sword light from the Lesser Thousand Swords Formation completely ignored his natal flame and was like a sharp blade piercing his throat.

His body trembled slightly, and he hurriedly pulled out a talisman. The runes on the talisman shone brightly, radiating a mysterious light.

He slammed the talisman onto himself, and a golden light shield instantly enveloped him like an eggshell. Runes flowed on the shield, seemingly trying their best to resist the impending attack.

"Break!" Chen Xuan's eyes were like those of a hawk, and he guided the sword light of the jade sword that had already attacked the old man with one hand.

*Snap*—The talisman struck the body, and the golden light shield that had just risen was immediately trembling upon contact with the sword's edge. The golden light dimmed and finally burst like a bubble.

Without the protective aura, the black-robed old man's body was directly exposed to the sword's light.

The cold, relentless, and deadly sword light caused the black-robed elder's pupils to contract. He instinctively tried to take out other defensive magic treasures to block it, but the sword light was too fast, and he couldn't react in time.

“Youngster, how dare you… I am…”

He only remembered to introduce himself now, but it was too late. Chen Xuan's sword light was as swift as lightning, giving him no chance at all.

"Bah-"

The jade sword light gathered from the nine-layered sword formation, with an unstoppable momentum, pierced directly through the black furnace blocking its path.

The black furnace shattered instantly under the impact of the sword light, turning into countless fragments that scattered down. The sword light, still powerful, pierced straight through the black-robed elder's brow once more.

"I, I am...you, you...dare..."

The sword light pierced through the old man's brow in an instant. His eyes widened in disbelief and resentment, and he let out a series of sobs.

His body, like a piece of rotten wood, fell straight down from the sky, his life force rapidly fading away like the tide, slowly dragging him into an endless abyss of darkness.

Be more careful in your next life.

Chen Xuan's expression was cold and stern. With a wave of his hand, the old man's several storage magic treasures were all taken back into his hand like birds returning to their nests.

"This this?"

Witnessing Chen Xuan swiftly and decisively kill a Nascent Soul Daoist with a single sword strike, Wang Kaixuan felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart was filled with shock. He stared wide-eyed at Chen Xuan in disbelief, as if he were witnessing an unparalleled god of death.

"Master, you actually killed a Nascent Soul Daoist with a single sword strike?" Bai Li looked up at Chen Xuan in shock, her eyes filled with admiration and amazement. Her small body trembled slightly, clearly still reeling from the shocking scene.

Looking at him like he was a monster by Bai Li and Wang Kaixuan, Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, saying, "This person's understanding of the Dao is only at the Dao Domain level. In comparison, his strength is not as good as Senior Brother Jianxin's two years ago. Two years ago, I was able to defeat Senior Brother Jianxin head-on with my understanding of the Dao. After obtaining many inheritances two years later, what difficulty is there in killing this kind of ordinary Nascent Soul Daoist with one sword?"

The Dao Realm and the Primordial Spirit Daoist are related.

Under normal circumstances, once one comprehends the realm of the Dao, one can rely on this realm to break through the myriad phenomena and achieve the primordial spirit. This is the origin of the primordial spirit Daoist.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's explanation, Wang Kaixuan and Bai Li belatedly realized that, after making a comparison, they once again raised their opinion on the overall strength of the second-generation disciples of Xuanqing Palace.

This place is only about two hundred miles away from the Azure Dragon Mountain Range. Such a violent fluctuation of spiritual energy is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, instantly attracting the attention of the Azure Dragon Mountain Range's God-Slaying Guard.

"How dare you! You have the audacity to wage war near my Azure Dragon Mountain Range!"

Anyone who makes a disturbance shall be killed without exception!

……

Only two or three breaths had passed since the battle ended when the God-Slaying Guards stationed in the Azure Dragon Mountains arrived at the scene as if divine soldiers had descended from the heavens.
