The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 542 The net is about to break, the net is about to break.
Xu Xingchen grasped a three-zhang-long, multicolored sword beam and swept and slashed it, cutting away all attacks that came towards him and clearing a bright sky within a three-zhang radius around him.

The three-zhang-long green mountain, the several-zhang-long red ribbon, and the Yuan Magnetic Ring charged wildly at the five people around them, bombarding them and stirring up wave after wave of gusts of energy.

Wu Yazi and his five companions also exerted all their strength, resisting and dodging Xu Xingchen's attacks while unleashing a series of terrifying and strange techniques at him.

Dense as rain, violent as wind.

The intense battle between the six individuals spread to the surrounding area, and as they moved rapidly, the battlefield continued to extend to other places.

Ever since.

The group of martial arts practitioners on the surrounding hilltops saw a battle storm, like a raging torrential rain, moving rapidly across the majestic mountain.

As it passed through the woods, it uprooted the thick, towering trees and pulverized them in the blink of an eye.

As they passed the cliff, a series of booming explosions echoed, sending rocks flying and cliffs crashing down. After the billowing dust dissipated, they saw that the cliff had crumbled into a steep slope covered with rubble.

As the river flowed, a large amount of water, like a tornado, twisted and turned, being sucked into the sky, and then, in the fierce battle, it disintegrated into a surging, misty vapor that enveloped the surrounding area.

Wherever the six-person battle group goes, the terrain and landforms will undergo tremendous changes.

Vast stretches of forest were transformed into uneven, flat land amidst cracking and popping sounds.

The river changed course here, branching into hundreds and thousands of streams.

Amidst the thunderous roar, the cliff transformed into a steep slope and a gentle incline.

The rocks flew far away, hitting the surrounding flowers, grass, and trees with a crackling sound.

These landforms, altered by earth-shattering forces, present a scene of utter devastation.

The martial arts practitioners on the surrounding mountaintops watched in astonishment at the magnificent sight unfolding on the majestic mountains ahead, witnessing the terrifying power that could change the world. They exclaimed repeatedly, speechless with amazement.

"My God! Such thick trees, yet they handled them as lightly as straws."

That cliff... it's shattered, shattered.

"That waterfall actually turned into a river, no, into hundreds and thousands of streams."

"Those stones that were flying everywhere must have weighed over a thousand pounds each, right? How come they were able to fly so far?"

"Is this power that a human can possess? Is this the combat strength that a top expert in the Heavenly Realm can unleash?"

"Gods! Gods! If they aren't gods, then who could be?!"

"This trip was worthwhile, truly worthwhile. To witness this battle today, I have no regrets for the rest of my life."

"Hahaha, let's fight! Let's fight! This battle between top masters has truly broadened our horizons!"

Some cheered loudly, some muttered to themselves, some stared blankly, and some knelt down excitedly as if worshipping a miracle.

Many people were overwhelmed with emotion, their hearts trembling, their bodies trembling, their hands and feet trembling, and even their lips and tongues trembling so much that they could not speak.

This great battle truly lived up to its name as the "Ascension (Godhood) Conference".

Using a majestic mountain as their battlefield, they acted with unbridled ferocity, their attacks altering the landscape as if performed by a god.

A group of martial arts practitioners watched the spectacle from the surrounding hilltops, but the six people involved in the battle each had their own profound insights.

Xu Xingchen's power was incredibly refined and unbelievably strong.

The Northern Darkness Divine Art, capable of absorbing the internal energy of others for one's own use.
The Star-Shifting Divine Skill, capable of transferring and reflecting all of another's martial arts techniques back.
The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, the most powerful and unstoppable palm technique in the world, capable of splitting stone tablets and shattering rocks.
The unpredictable Tianshan Six Yang Palm and Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand
Long, white streaks, sharp and swift as a white rainbow piercing the sun.
All the extraordinary characteristics of these divine skills and unique techniques lost their effectiveness in front of Xu Xingchen.

Their battle with Xu Xingchen has devolved into a mere clash of basic forces.

Whoever is stronger will be able to overwhelm the other. Xu Xingchen has undergone three cycles of rejuvenation and regeneration, and his internal strength is unparalleled in history and the world.

Even Wu Yazi, a practitioner of the Beiming Divine Art who could continuously accumulate his own power by absorbing the internal energy of others, was no match for Xu Xingchen in this respect.

The Northern Darkness Divine Skill is indeed extremely miraculous, and it can indeed rapidly accumulate one's internal energy to an unbelievably profound level in a short period of time.

With his internal strength, Wu Yazi could face any powerful enemy in the world, making him invincible and hard to find an opponent.

However, his internal strength was, after all, the result of years of refinement of the essence and spirit of others. Even when he broke through to the Heavenly Realm and washed away all the spiritual imprints of others from his internal strength, it still lost its purity.

To put it bluntly, the Beiming Divine Art follows a path of cultivation that embraces all things, emphasizing "broadness" and using quantity to win and overwhelm others.

But the human body is finite, while the universe is infinite.

These top experts at the Heavenly Realm only used the primordial energy of heaven and earth as a resource that could continuously replenish their internal strength in a state of oneness with heaven and man.

When performing martial arts, one still relies on the internal energy within one's own body.

When the internal energy within the body reaches a certain limit, even the slightest step forward becomes extremely difficult.

Even if Xu Xingchen relied on his youth and strength, the limit of internal energy that his body could contain could not exceed that of Wu Yazi by much.

After all, the Northern Darkness Divine Art was too overpowered, allowing Wu Yazi to become a top expert in the Heavenly Realm at a young age, thus filling his meridians and dantian to the limit of human potential.

Therefore, in terms of internal strength, even after two or three rejuvenations, Xu Xingchen only slightly surpassed Wu Yazi.

But in addition to being incredibly powerful, his internal strength was also described as "pure".

Only the finest and purest!

This made him stronger than Wuyazi and the other four.

Even under the combined attack of the five, Xu Xingchen, unleashing his full power, was still able to fight them to a standstill and hold his own.

but.

The five men who attacked him were all top-notch masters in the world. Whether in terms of martial arts skills or intelligence, they were role models for all martial arts practitioners.

Second only to the sweeping monk of Shaolin Temple!

Therefore, Xu Xingchen's battle with them was extremely difficult.

Amidst the fierce, torrential attacks, Xu Xingchen resembled a lone warrior adrift on a stormy sea, his body rising and falling with the waves.

Sometimes it is swept into the sky by raging winds and giant waves, and sometimes it is swept away by waves and slammed into the sea.

In the midst of the fierce struggle, the already highly refined spirit and energy began to rise and surge again under unparalleled pressure, reaching for higher levels and higher realms.

The laws of heaven and earth that bound his body began to tremble at this moment.

Like a fishing net that has captured a giant monster, it is becoming strained, bloated, and its threads are loosening and becoming precarious as the monster struggles within it.

The fishing net is about to tear!
But it's still just a little bit short.

Just a tiny bit.

So the giant continued to hold on until it came down.

However, Xu Xingchen had already seen hope of breaking free from the constraints of the rules of this world.

Therefore, he struggled even more fiercely!
