Xianye

Chapter 551 (Sound)

A chilling wind swept across the land, and a mournful atmosphere soared to the sky—

At this moment, in a silence so profound that you could hear a pin drop, a corner of the deep, swirling energy slowly parted, like a curtain being lifted.

Deep within the dark, murky water, a fair, jade-like hand first emerged, followed by arms, head, and face. Though some parts appeared ethereal and uncertain, they were rapidly solidifying.

Before long, a figure stood on the rolling black water, his black sleeves fluttering, calmly gazing at Yin Wuji and Lü Rong from afar.

"It's actually Netherworld True Water? It's rare to see such true water appear in the world!"

A young man dressed as a wandering ascetic, wearing a crimson robe and a seven-jeweled kasaya, recognized the spell and his eyes lit up.

"Even such a method has been passed down... I haven't returned to the Void Emperor for many years. It seems the God King has finally found a good grandson? And my teacher wants to support the Dragon Court again. I wonder if he has any involvement in this?"

He muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, the Azure Lion, who had previously coveted the Divine Water of the Universe, couldn't help but rub his hands together and paced back and forth in the hall several times.

If it weren't for the fact that it was in Xudu Heaven.

If it weren't for the fact that those who practiced these two true water techniques were the true disciples of Yu Chen and Wen Huang...

Given his temperament, he probably couldn't resist making a move long ago and claiming this great fortune for himself!
While these two were deep in thought, each lost in their own ideas, many other cultivators all looked up at the sky, as if afraid of missing a single moment.

At this moment, within the Huanglao Sheji Tu (Illustrated Map of the State and its People), numerous souls, like ants, prostrated themselves in worship.

Those bizarre figures appeared and disappeared with the rise and fall of the black water, like ancient and solemn rock carvings in a tomb, unmoving.

At the very front of the wave stood a tall, elegant young Taoist priest with his hands behind his back, a faint smile on his face.

The golden crown on his head had been extinguished by the blow, so he simply stopped using it. His black hair hung down casually, swaying gently in the wind, but he did not look disheveled at all. On the contrary, it made his demeanor even more dignified and otherworldly, just like the sun and moon shining, with the appearance of a celestial being.

The sky was filled with towering waves, darkness reigned above and below, sunlight was nowhere to be seen, and the air was filled with malevolent spirits and demons eager to seize and devour people...

What was originally an extremely eerie and sinister scene has now been inexplicably diluted in terms of its sinister aura.

Many of the female cultivators' beautiful eyes sparkled with wonder, feeling a sudden burst of light before their eyes, and they whispered to their companions beside them.

"That brat."

Gu Yi watched for a moment, then suddenly turned around as if she had something to say. For some reason, a strange smile appeared on her lips.

She twitched her lips slightly and used a secret telepathic communication technique on Wei Lingjiang, but the latter remained indifferent, seemingly uninterested in arguing.

This was quite frustrating, like punching empty air. Gu Yi herself felt a bit bored and quickly turned her head away.

"..."

Yin Ruohua hesitated to speak, but ultimately remained silent, only frowning as she gazed at the sky.

"Netherworld True Water..."

At this moment, Yin Wuji slowly exhaled a long breath and also recognized this supernatural power.

Spirits and demons stand in rows, ghosts and monsters bow their heads, holding the reins of life and death, grasping the very essence of yin and yang—

The power of the underworld is profound and inviolable!
Just now, with the combined efforts of him and Lü Rong, Chen Heng was clearly devoid of any life force and was on the verge of being completely reduced to ashes.

But when he emerged from the black water, all his previous injuries were gone. Apart from being a little pale, he looked like a completely unharmed person.

Such mystery, such supernatural power!
To be able to do this...

At this moment, Chen Heng's aura was seen to be flamboyant and sharp, as if a surging torrent was surging back and forth within his meridians, but it was chaotic yet not dissipated.

Even without Zai Yuanfa's eyesight, Lü Rong recognized that this was due to the stimulation of the drug after consuming Chi Fan Zhen.

Although the Netherworld True Water grants immortality, it also consumes a great deal of magical power.

Even though Chen Heng is a first-grade Golden Core cultivator, he can only use this method as a trump card and cannot use it lightly.

But if he had Chi Fanzhen, he might be able to use this immortality ability one more time.

Even twice...

Suddenly, Lü Rong and Yin Wuji exchanged a knowing glance, and without saying a word, they unleashed their magic power and attacked fiercely!
A chilling, pale blue hand rose into the air first, and with the force of splitting mountains and shattering peaks, it fiercely grabbed at Chen Heng!

Lu Rong was a step slower, and this time he still used the Divine Tail Tai Sui Blood Soul Divine Power.

However, driven by the pursuit of no cost, five of the blood spirits even became covered in golden light and had fragrant flower banners on their heads. The ferocious look on their faces disappeared by most, and they appeared solemn and dignified, quite different from the surrounding blood spirits.

Just as the Great Handprint of Ten Thousand Poisons was about to strike, a wave of water suddenly rose up, holding the Great Hand in place and preventing it from falling.

Just as the two were subtly vying for power, two more waves rose from beneath Chen Heng's feet. This time, they stirred the water from both sides, like dragons and pythons intertwining, causing the large handprint to disintegrate into a thick, bluish-white mist.

Yin Wuji remained unfazed by the sight. While focusing on healing his injuries, he also worked quickly.

With a single shift of magical power, three more large hands flew out from the miasma, forcefully smashing aside the waves blocking their path, and continued towards Chen Heng!
The powerful hand clashed repeatedly with the black water, creating a deafening roar, like the sound of ocean waves and thunder.

Both sides are constantly breaking and rebuilding, and they are afraid of being even a step too slow, so they don't stop for even a moment!
For a time, neither side could gain the upper hand.

However, with the arrival of hundreds of Blood Souls who successively self-destructed, the stalemate was finally broken. The Black Water was blasted open with several large holes, and the situation began to tilt in Yin Wuji's favor.

Chen Heng raised his sleeve, and the Southern Bright Fire spun once, burning the blood spirits that rushed in from the leak into ashes. With another swirl, it burned dozens more.

Such extremely yang and intense fire techniques often require little effort to break through most of the demonic sect's yin and turbid Taoist arts, making them a natural nemesis of these sects.

However, when the five blood spirits, covered in golden light and resembling gods and celestial generals, charged forward...

This time, Nanming Li Huo had to expend more effort than before to refine and destroy one of them.

Chen Heng knew that only these five heads were the true Divine Tail Tai Sui Blood Soul. Although the others were also powerful, they were still incomplete in form and spirit within the Blood River True Method.

Although he could respond to any situation with the same unchanged approach and use the Southern Bright Fire to break the move, he was now fighting two opponents at once, and such an action would consume too much of his magical power. If an opportunity were found to exploit this situation later, it would not be good.

With this thought in mind, Chen Heng had an idea. He suddenly stepped forward and waved his hand!
With a deafening roar, the Netherworld River beneath his feet trembled violently, its sound echoing through the heavens, shattering not only the divine power of Yin Wuji's hand.

At the same time, a wave of water rippled out from in front of him, stretching across the vast sky!

"not good."

Just as Lü Rong sensed something amiss, the blood essence of the Divine Tail Tai Sui had already been swept away by the water light in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace.

Then the water light flashed and disappeared three times in succession, and the remaining three divine tail blood souls could not escape either, and were all absorbed into the true water.

No matter how much magic Lu Rong used or incantations, he could not summon them.

After achieving a decisive victory, Chen Heng did not stop. Instead, under the combined attack of Yin and Lü, his offensive became even more ferocious.

Not long after, the Southern Bright Fire once again blasted open the Myriad Poisons Handprint.

In an instant, a series of chilling laughs could be heard, sounding like both joy and wailing.

All sorts of living souls emerged from the depths of the black water, densely packed and countless!
Cloud worms, miasma mothers, flying barbarians, jackal demons, corpse spirits... In addition to these kinds of demons and monsters, there are also many unorthodox cultivators who have achieved great success, as well as hybrids of gods and monsters with bodies as large as mountains and the appearance of dragons.

Since obtaining the White Water of the Past and using it as a foundation to refine True Water, Chen Heng has been traveling outside the universe for decades.

During that time, besides Hongjingtian, he also went to many places on land and in the sky, large and small. Over the years, the number of evil spirits and souls he collected with true water reached an unparalleled level!

Such a number was more than enough for Zong Yin and Lü to handle, but they were unwilling to waste their energy dealing with the living souls, so they both chose to temporarily avoid the fray.

Their retreat, however, gave Chen Heng an opportunity to ease the pressure on him.

He let out a clear whistle, took a step forward, and leaped into the air.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the light of day flickered on and off in an incredibly short time.

A sword rose like a rainbow, tearing through the air in the blink of an eye!

……

……

Blood smoke billowed, and a grim fog hung in the air!

This time, even though it hadn't been more than three hundred rounds, the fight was more than ten times more intense than any of the previous ones.

All three were struck by each other's supernatural powers more than once, and their injuries were quite noticeable, with each wound so deep that the bone was visible.

As for Jia Xiu, he wisely left behind the bronze fish on his body and departed the arena long before the three of them were engaged in a fierce battle.

Although this person was a top disciple of Dou Shu and a high-grade Golden Core cultivator, he unfortunately ran into Yu Huangshang after the Transformation Mist dissipated and was severely injured.

The reason why Yu Huangshang did not expel him was because he had grasped the foundation of Jia Xiu's magical power and could extract his essence from a distance at any time to make up for his own deficiencies.

For this reason, this person can be considered the most frustrated Dan Yuan among the top ten.

Even at his peak, Jia Xiu was no match for these three, but at least he wouldn't have left the stage without making a single move...

At this moment, after knocking Lü Rong back with a punch, Chen Heng took advantage of the gap when the latter was entangled by the last few remaining living souls, and like a dragon leaping into the sea, he clashed with Yin Wuji several times!

Deep within the raging gale, Yang Zhao's illusory body was beheaded by a single sword strike, and his mutilated corpse fell into the depths of the abyss. Before it even hit the water, it exploded into wisps of smoke.

At the same time, the Southern Bright Fire was also returned by the Luo Yu Zhen Dan used by Yin Wuji's true form, causing Chen Heng to cough up blood continuously.

Boom!

After exchanging a palm strike with Yin Wuji, Chen Heng advanced instead of retreating, suddenly unleashing a torrent of true water. At the same time, lightning crackled between his fingers, instantly condensing into a ten-foot-long thunder spear.

While Yin Wuji was dealing with the real water, they took advantage of the moment.

Chen Heng exerted his strength so that the spearhead pierced through his left ribs, lifting him into the air!
This moment.

The world seemed to fall silent for a moment, and the surrounding fields were utterly still...

Yin Wuji let out a muffled groan as he used the Divine Water of the Universe to avoid a fatal blow.

Before the lightning spear could explode inside his body, he used his palm as a blade to cut the spear in two, and a fierce wisp of smoke slammed into Chen Heng's face!
At the same moment, Lü Rong also crushed all the living souls that were besieging him, activated the Earth Restriction True Technique, and surrounded them.

The three fought fiercely, their figures moving like lightning, crossing the waves in the blink of an eye.

Wherever he passed, his heroic spirit surged forth like a mountain collapsing and water boiling! After dodging a sword light, Yin Wuji suddenly and inexplicably descended from the clouds. With a wave of his hand, a gloomy vortex of energy blocked Chen Heng's position.

It was as if the walls were collapsing and the houses were crumbling, one after another. In the blink of an eye, sixteen vortexes appeared one after another, surrounding Chen Heng in the center.

The Dark and Lonely Qi —

Since the appearance of the Netherworld True Water, Yin Wuji had secretly used this supernatural power. Now, after much effort, he had finally trapped Chen Heng in this deadly place that he had carefully set up!
"go with!"

Yin Wuji roared and swayed, unleashing his magical power capable of moving mountains and shifting peaks. The sixteen vortexes of energy slowly merged into one amidst a thunderous roar.

Suddenly.

Yin and Yang clash, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth reverses!
The hundred-foot vortex swirled heavily in the sky, seemingly without beginning or end. The depths of the vortex were chaotic and indescribable, as if nothing existed there, yet it also seemed to be the source of all things. Dozens of streams of seawater roared up and poured into the vortex one after another, but they were like mud oxen entering the sea, without causing the slightest ripple.

"This scene... reminds me of that chaotic and utterly chaotic place."

A great cultivator couldn't help but sigh.

"Lü Rong!"

At this moment, Yin Wuji roared, blood flowing from his mouth and nose, as if he were carrying a heavy mountain, his back bent under the pressure.

Maintaining such supernatural powers would be extremely difficult, even for Yin Wuji.

Especially now that he is seriously injured, even though he has taken all kinds of powerful medicines, he is still not in good condition.

Upon hearing this loud shout, Lü Rong, whose body had just been shattered by the thunder, also reassembled, his face as white as paper.

Ignoring the dizziness that kept coming from his head, he forcefully activated his supernatural power, summoning a monstrous sea of ​​blood, and slammed it fiercely towards Chen Heng!
Under this combination of pressure and force, Chen Heng finally collapsed towards the vortex in the sky.

After several dozen breaths, seeing that the figure was finally swallowed by the vortex, both of them felt as if they had lost all their strength, and their fingers trembled.

"This...we won?"

A disciple of the Plague Sect, puzzled, frowned and asked his fellow disciple:
"Then later, will Senior Brother Yin be going to compete with Lü Rong?"

Upon hearing this, the several Plague Cultivators beside him all looked puzzled.

Meanwhile, Qi Shang, who was standing with his hands behind his back, shook his head, almost shaking the old ancestor Fu Shen, who was sitting on his shoulder in a daze, off.

The next moment, billowing flames engulfed Lü Rong's figure, while Yin Wuji was also swiftly struck by a five-colored hand!
The sounds of battle erupted again. Although there were only three people, it was as if a thousand troops were fighting to the death, and the fighting was incredibly intense!
The various colors of light shone brightly, dyeing half the sky with dazzling colors, making one's eyes dazzled...

This time, after deflecting the attack with Netherworld True Water, Chen Heng did not exert force to press the True Water down. Instead, a blue light flashed in his hand as he grasped the Escape Shuttle.

Given Chen Heng's deliberate actions just now, even risking his life to withstand several blows.

at this time.

Yin and Lü were positioned in the same direction.

Suddenly, Yin and Lü felt as if they were being held by an invisible hand from a distance, and the surrounding void turned into an iron wall, making it difficult for them to move and even hindering the flow of their magical power.

Normally, they could easily break free from such constraints.

But now that the battle had raged on, even with powerful medicine to restore their injuries and magic, the lingering fatigue and heaviness in their minds was hard to shake off, slowing their movements by several beats.

After quickly breaking the restraints, Yin and Lü were puzzled that Chen Heng did not take advantage of the opening to launch a sword attack.

He simply remained where he was, taking the opportunity to refine the last portion of the Crimson Flame Essence, then calmly stepped forward, his sleeves fluttering, and pointed towards this place from afar.

The next moment, a syllable was uttered softly from Chen Heng's mouth, like a golden bell gently tolling on a mountaintop, clear and distinct.

"Zha!"

This is the first sound since the beginning of time. Taoist scriptures say it has many wonderful uses and is extremely mysterious.

In an instant, Yin Wuji's pupils suddenly contracted.

Lu Rong's expression also inexplicably changed.

As the sound calmly rose, the sky was instantly filled with a brilliant golden hue, as a hurricane swept in, howling across the heavens.

Although the momentum was still brewing, it had already stirred up boundless spiritual tides, with rolling waves roaring and surging, reaching high into the sky, raging for hundreds of miles, and still rumbling outwards to even more distant places!
The earth bulges and the sea boils; the wind howls and the rain falls; the Milky Way flows down and all the waters boil together!
Tah!
Tah!
Tah!
In an instant, the heavens and earth were filled with a vast echo, as if a group of thunder gods were holding drums and swords, roaring in the depths of the bright clouds, their voices shaking the sky and sweeping across the heavens!

"This method? This is the method!"

Inside the seven-jeweled carriage, a tall, thin Taoist priest suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, a look of astonishment on his face.

"Taiyi Divine Thunder..."

Fu Can Lao Zu and Qi Shang exchanged a glance.

"Taiyi Divine Thunder?!"

The monk, clad in a crimson robe, opened his mouth in bewilderment, speechless.

As for the blue lion that had previously shown greed in its eyes, it was completely stunned, its expression complex, and it remained motionless.

At this moment, He Lizi felt a sudden shock in his mind. Then, he subconsciously looked at Xue Jing in the golden boat and saw that the latter had already thrown the wine cup hard and laughed heartily with his head thrown back.

"Taiyi Divine Thunder..."

Finally, in the main hall, the elders presiding over the Plague and Blood River looked extremely grim.

Xun Bingzong concealed it well, but his fingers, hidden in his sleeve, twitched slightly, and his eyes gleamed.

The pure air rises high and clears, while the turbid air descends and spreads downwards. The two polarities have no substance, and the mysterious and the yellow are separated!
The most powerful and devastating divine ability in the entire land, a majestic and world-suppressing technique—

Taiyi Divine Thunder!

At this moment, time seemed to stretch out for an eternity, and countless people exclaimed in surprise, their actions in disarray. Even many great cultivators were momentarily stunned, their eyes flashing.

With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth in the picture seemed to be violently torn open, and a flash of golden light disappeared in an instant!
Almost at the same moment this supreme divine power was unleashed, Chen Heng felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, coughed up blood, and saw golden lightning surge wildly from the depths of his eyes, shattering them first.

The excruciating pain did not stop; it then spread to the internal organs, chest and abdomen, and finally to the head, hands and feet. In the end, even the primordial spirit was tragically reduced to a wisp of green smoke and completely erased from sight.

The divine thunder had clearly not yet struck Yin and Lü, yet Chen Heng had already lost his life, dying from his own divine power.

The Taiyi Divine Thunder is not a supreme divine power that can be used by those who have reached the Golden Core stage; using it will inevitably lead to death, without exception.

Even a Nascent Soul True Person would be severely injured after using this world-suppressing technique!
In other words, Chen Heng could use the Netherworld True Water to avoid his death, which is why he dared to give it a try.

However, given the immense drain on magical power expended by Taiyi and Youming, even with Chifan Zhen's assistance in restoring their essence, it would be impossible.

But in this Dan Yuan Tournament, he only has one chance, and he can only use this killing move once...

And this moment.

This was the opportunity that Chen Heng had been waiting for!

Their vision was blurred, and an indescribable sense of danger sent chills down their spines and made them tremble all over. Yin and Lü felt a strong sense of death approaching them, something they hadn't experienced in a long time.

It seemed as if in the next instant, they would be crushed to dust, with no way to resist!
"So this is the supreme divine power you've been hiding all along?"

At the brink of life and death, this thought suddenly flashed through Yin Wuji's mind.

At that moment, a dark and chaotic aura crashed out from not far away, as Lü Rong roared and exerted all his strength.

He pushed the Divine Mantra of All Worlds' Expiration of Sins to its second level, causing his body below the head to explode. Under this great blessing, which even he himself could not control for long, he fiercely unleashed the True Light of the Six Desires Demon to meet the attack!
In a hazy state, white light seemed to ripple like water in the heavens and earth, and all the demons and ghosts revealed their joyful expressions in the watery light, each holding a ray of true light of the six desires in their palm, and bestowing upon it the supreme blessing incantation.

Although Yin Wuji was in a state of complex emotion, his actions were not slow at all.

Starlight surged in his eyes again, and several more energy orifices inexplicably appeared within his body, along with a sudden flash of brilliant azure light.

Wherever the azure light passed, seawater, mist, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth silently collapsed and were forcibly absorbed into it.

The Supreme Divine Power of the Plague Sect—The Great Plague Light Illuminating the World in All Directions!

Plague is a sign of yin prevailing over yang, and is the result of the accumulation of evil deeds in a corrupt world.

When Yin and Yang are out of balance, an epidemic is a divine punishment, a consequence of one's actions!
Given Yin Wuji's cultivation level, he had not truly mastered the world-suppressing technique of the Plague Curse. He merely used the wonders of the Divine Water of the Universe to forcibly accelerate the cultivation process, making the technique barely usable for him.

In Yin Wuji's mind, this killing move would kill a thousand enemies but also harm eight hundred of his own, so he probably wouldn't use it at the Dan Yuan Conference.

Who could know...

This series of actions, though seemingly lengthy, actually happened in the blink of an eye. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the three men's attacks clashed violently!
The true light of the six desires demons, blessed by divine mantras, illuminates the world in all directions, bringing great plague.

The two join forces for a showdown—

Taiyi Divine Thunder!

In an instant, only a great light rolled in and burned brightly, then all was silent.

After a few breaths, a deafening sound, as loud as if the sky were being torn apart, suddenly erupted, shattering large swathes of seawater into powder. The cracked seabed was even clearly visible, as if the entire seabed was about to be overturned. Countless aquatic creatures were reduced to minced flesh and blood mist.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, the clear and turbid world had been thrown into complete chaos, devoid of any life!
At that moment, two beams of light flashed outside the image.

Yin and Lü suddenly fell from the clouds, barely breathing. They were hurriedly rescued by their fellow disciples, which sent chills down the spines of many cultivators.

However, most cultivators focused their attention on the Imperial Map of the State, their eyes fixed intently, barely blinking, and barely uttering a sound.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, an unknown amount of time passed...

Beneath the hazy clouds, a drop of deep black water slowly solidified.

Then the water droplets gathered more and more until they merged into a long, black river without beginning or end, and the sound of the tide rose.

Finally, with a soft splash, Chen Heng's figure slowly emerged from the water.

He closed his eyes for a long time, suppressing the intense dizziness in his mind, before beckoning and taking the bronze fish from Yin Wuji and Lü Rong.

After doing all this, he didn't linger. He simply glanced down at the bottom before summoning the Dan Yuan Talisman and taking out the scroll.

At that moment, a clamor finally arose in Ying Jichuan, rising like boiling water and soaring into the sky!
