I've never felt happy to become an immortal.

Chapter 216 Can Reach the Heavenly Throne
The heavy snow covered consciousness.

When Bai Xuan awoke, he was already back in that dimly lit hall.

At this very moment, it is still a life-or-death crisis where life and death are at stake.

But he wasn't nervous at all.

He stood in the impenetrable darkness, slowly adjusting his breathing, feeling the flow of time around him slow down. This was not a true Zavarudo, nor was it a time stop, but rather a sensory acceleration of time.

When one's mental strength reaches a certain level, it can manifest extraordinary abilities to a certain extent.

Transforming mental power into telekinesis is merely the most basic application. Using mental power to project outward is the simplest and most direct method, as easy to understand as muscles working. However, if you want to apply mental power to yourself, you need more precise control.

Bai Xuan held the remains of the sword immortal in his hand, feeling the latter seamlessly merge into his body. At the same time, he felt as if he had broken a shackle and been freed from some kind of heavy restraint, like Kakarot removing the thick training clothes from his wrists and body. A strong sense of liberation surged up.

The perceived time is accelerating or even running out of control.

From that moment on, the concept of 'speed' became almost meaningless to him.

If he wanted to, any action would appear as slow motion in his eyes, and slow motion would inevitably be full of flaws.

This doesn't mean Bai Xuan can control time; he simply has a more precise control over himself, and can even control the speed of his thoughts.

This has nothing to do with realm, but rather it is the liberation of a new level of boundless spiritual power.

At this moment, Bai Xuan himself had a sudden realization: the remains of the sword immortal were like a key, unlocking the constraints on him layer by layer.

The most terrifying thing is that this supernatural power and the liberated spiritual power can be used freely and without restriction even in the modern world.

The level of one's realm determines the extent of one's cultivation, and without spiritual energy, there is no cultivation.

His supernatural powers depend entirely on Bai Xuan's mental strength, which is not constrained by the spiritual energy environment.

He slowly exhaled, clenched his fist, and felt the incredibly abundant spiritual energy. He felt that he could easily control dozens of swords at the same time.

However, none of these are enough to counter the Heavenly Position.

No matter how fast you go, you can't break the constraints of space.

The power of the Heavenly One is overwhelming and utterly unreasonable.

It's like how no matter how fast a person runs, they can't crash their body into a mountain; otherwise, the faster they run, the faster they'll die, and the best outcome will be mutual destruction.

At any other time, Bai Xuan would not have found even the slightest possibility of survival.

However, the new supernatural power he gained allowed him to cleverly overcome the insurmountable gap between himself and the Heavenly Realm.

When——!
A resounding, crisp sound echoed.

With victory in his grasp and intending to crush Bai Xuan into mincemeat, the Six Desires Demon's right hand was suddenly flung away, tearing a gap in his sleeve. He was stunned, staring at his flung hand, unable to comprehend the white-clad figure.

what happened?

How could it be bounced back?

Countless question marks appeared in the mind of the Six Desires Demon. When a Heavenly Rank expert made a move, even a Grandmaster on the Earthly Ranking would have to become a beach guardian. Throughout history, the only one who could exchange a few blows with a Heavenly Rank expert was Qi Wuyi, who had mastered the 'Absolute Sword'.

Because Qi Wuyi's sword can break through the absolute defense formed by space.

But what level is Bai Xuan at?
How could someone at the Finger Profound Realm possibly repel the spatial suppression of a Celestial Realm expert?

The Six Desires Demon did not believe it and attacked again. The darkness in the hall solidified into a palm, which once again enveloped Bai Xuan and slammed down fiercely, like a mountain falling.

This move was small in scale, but extremely powerful; in the eyes of the person involved, it was almost enough to fill their entire field of vision.

However, another strange sense of blockage struck.

When——!
The Six Desires Demon's right hand was flung away again. This time, the entire sleeve of his robe was torn apart. The shattered dark hand could not maintain its form, and his aura weakened. He fell from his proud stance in the void.

Their morale has waned considerably.

A crack quietly appeared on the demon's right arm.

This body cannot be squandered indefinitely; it is like a precious consumable, and every use of it will greatly damage it.

"What exactly did you do?!" the Six Desires Demon roared angrily.

Bai Xuan held his sword in his right hand, his expression calm, and said, "I merely withstood your attack. Is that so hard to understand?"

"How can a mere Finger Profound Realm cultivator possibly withstand a Heavenly Position!" The Six Desires Demon roared hoarsely, his voice almost breaking.

“With my current level of cultivation, I am indeed unable to withstand it.” Bai Xuan raised his sword and pointed it at the Heavenly Demon: “But if it possesses supernatural powers, then that’s a different story.”

“Supernatural powers…” The Six Desires Demon seemed to have realized something: “You, could it be? No, impossible, no one would know its name, absolutely impossible!”

"Any scheming conspirator will always say something similar when they fail: Impossible, shouldn't be... It seems that in your plans, you are the only ones who can scheme against others, but you don't allow anyone else to break the plan."

"Why?"

"There is no such logic in this world; logic only exists on the edge of a sword."

A cold glint flashed in Bai Xuan's eyes; he was genuinely intent on killing. In the countless battles before, Bai Xuan had never truly unleashed his killing intent; this time was an exception.

Bai Xuan's killing intent was not violent, but rather profound and surging, like a dam filled with water that would turn into a torrent the moment it was opened.

That's something accumulated through a long life experience; the more enemies a powerful person has killed, the more overwhelming their killing intent becomes.

As the saying goes, "Heaven creates all things to nourish man, yet man has nothing to repay Heaven."

The Six Desires Demon was stunned by that ferocious killing intent for a brief moment, perhaps a snap of the fingers, perhaps a breath.

It was indeed distracted, because in that murderous intent, it smelled the bloody scent of mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind it, as if it could see countless evil spirits climbing in the deepest hell.

Even the sins it has committed over the past few centuries are perhaps not even a fraction of what it has done.

In that fleeting moment of distraction, Bai Xuan had already arrived with his sword.

His mental energy enveloped the entire hall, frantically accelerating his sense of time. He was as if draped in lightning, transforming into a lithe white light that sped through the deep darkness. Moonlight illuminated his path, and the desolate moonlight arrow pierced deeper into the long, dark night.

This sword strike aimed at the Six Desires Demon's body.

The killing intent was aimed at nineteen vital points, all of which were connected in one stroke. The sword blade, like splashed ink, left wild cursive characters on the human body, outlining a bright red 'death' character.

Amidst the surging killing intent, this sword, once unleashed, possessed a pressure powerful enough to shatter mountains. Its speed had already surpassed its limits, even cleaving through the sound barrier layer by layer before it could strike. The arrow of moonlight, after traversing the darkness, transformed into a shattered glacier, with a vast expanse of sword energy and a torrent of frost rolling down!

Even a Grandmaster on the Earth Ranking would be alarmed to find himself perhaps unable to withstand this sword strike.

This sword strike directly triggered the Six Desires Demon's instinctive reaction.

It subconsciously believed that it would die before this sword strike, also because of the atmosphere created by that terrifying killing intent.

Therefore, it retaliated.

And it was a counterattack with all its might.

The Six Desires Demon shattered the large palace beneath its feet, raised its hands high, and slammed its fists down against the collapsing glacier torrent, like a giant raising its fist to smash into the oncoming flood. The surrounding space was as fragile as tofu under its clenched fists, bursting and shattering inch by inch.

The two fists slammed down, creating an invisible void right in front of them.

A martial force at the level of shattering the void—that's what a Heavenly Realm expert is like.

In the blink of an eye before the clash, the Six Desires Demon saw the corners of Bai Xuan's lips curl up, and his heart sank. He regained a sliver of rationality from that overwhelming killing intent and realized that he didn't need to go all out at all.

Bai Xuan's sword strike might threaten a Grandmaster, but it could never threaten a Celestial.

His sword strike couldn't even break through the Heavenly Rank's defense!
His initiative was to put pressure on the Six Desires Demon and force him to take action.

This made it easier for Bai Xuan to stage an accident!
Because the full name of this third supernatural power is...

"Reaching for the heavens!"

Bai Xuan's sword slashed into the invisible void.

Then, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

The sword stuck to the void, neither cutting through it nor being crushed by it.

What Bai Xuan held in his hand didn't look like a sword at all, but rather like a baseball bat. The collapsed void was the baseball on the bat, and with a sweeping spin, he countered the entire void ball back!

The Six Desires Demon's all-out attack not only failed to harm Bai Xuan in the slightest, but instead forced him to face the punch that collapsing the void.

Supernatural Power - Third Heavenly Power.

This is the true meaning of 'reaching the heavens'.

—It can rival the heavenly throne!
'Third Immortal Slayer' is a forged name that alters and distorts the original meaning of 'Third Heavenly Strike'... In other words, the two are completely opposite in nature.

'The Third Immortal Slayer' is the creation of space; while 'The Third Heaven-Defending' is the restoration of space; 'The Third Immortal Slayer' is the destruction that can tear space apart; 'The Third Heaven-Defending' is the defense that restores space.

Therefore, this is not a supernatural power for offense, but a supernatural power for defense.

Even the absolute suppression of the Heavenly Rank can be withstood.

Or rather, it was specifically designed to suppress the unreasonable spatial forces of the Heavenly Position.

This can force both sides back to the same starting line.

If the Six Desires Demon did not manipulate space, but instead suppressed it purely with his cultivation, Bai Xuan would not be able to determine the outcome of this battle.

Unfortunately, it merely borrowed the body of a celestial being, possessing the opponent's cultivation level but lacking a matching realm, and could only suppress others with force.

However, once the advantage of force disappears, its greatest advantage also vanishes.

That's why he was deceived by Bai Xuan's sword moves and suffered the consequences!
The pitch-black void tore apart half of the Six Desires Demon's body.

Before it let out a scream.

Bai Xuan had already destroyed his foothold, transforming once more into white light and merging into the swift torrent. He pierced the heart of the Six Desires Demon with one sword, while simultaneously slashing horizontally with another...

Cut it in half at the waist!
One sword cuts two!
