Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 354: Fusion of Truth
With a deafening explosion, the purple aura between the old Taoist's brows burst open.

Amidst the shattered purple light, the true energy of the dragon and tiger surged forth, beginning to take shape.

Seeing this, the two old Taoists beside him also grunted and pushed their Dragon Tiger True Qi into it.

"Roar!"

First, a tiger's roar that shook the heavens resounded from the sky, and wherever the sound wave passed, it caused everyone's hearts to tremble slightly.

Then came another long, resonant dragon roar, echoing the scene, as if the winds and clouds in the world were changing color, and the dark clouds were rolling like a raging sea.

To everyone's astonishment, the true energy behind the old Taoist took shape, and a huge Dharma image appeared.

The Dharma image was over three zhang tall, with the left half of its body in the shape of a white tiger, its snow-white fur flowing with the energy of Geng metal, and the right half in the shape of a green dragon, its green scales shimmering with the radiance of Yi wood.

With a tiger's head and dragon's horns, and dragon eyes brimming with power, it is surrounded by solidified dragon and tiger energy, each strand of which contains destructive power.

"Martial Arts Dharma Image? I didn't expect that your Xuanzhen Sect had also seen the Xuantian Treasure Record and actually managed to develop a Dharma Image."

Xu Yunfan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and the Ten Extremes True Qi in his palm transformed into a vortex, which actually dissected and devoured the Dragon and Tiger Qi in the newly formed Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Venerable Dharma Image.

He was familiar with the Dragon Tiger Elixir.

He had also seen the Xuan Tian Bao Lu, so he naturally knew its flaws.

The Dharma image instantly shattered, and the three old Taoists screamed and fell to the ground, their blood and qi bursting apart. The backlash of the Dharma image directly destroyed their blood and qi!
Xu Yunfan took a step forward, and the bluestone beneath his feet shattered with a deafening roar, his figure transforming into a blur that tore through the void.

A series of shockwaves erupted in the air, and before the old Taoist priest from the Xuanzhen Sect could make any move, everything suddenly went dark.

Xu Yunfan's right palm pressed down like the sky collapsing, his five fingers gripping the top of the head, and the Ten Extreme True Qi in his palm enveloped the head.

"Your inner energy is already gone; you might as well give it to me."

Before he finished speaking, the old Taoist priest trembled violently, and wisps of green smoke billowed from his seven orifices.

His Dragon-Tiger True Qi, which he had painstakingly cultivated for two hundred years, suddenly gushed out from his Baihui acupoint like a flood bursting its banks.

Xu Yunfan's palm spun rapidly, tearing apart the surging dragon and tiger energies.

The Tiger's Fiend Qi was refined into crimson flames by the Ten Extremes True Qi, while the Dragon Qi was transformed into a ghostly blue mist.

The old Taoist's face withered at a visible speed, his skin cracked rapidly, revealing the dried blood vessels beneath, like a weathered terracotta figurine.

Even more terrifying were the scattered remnants of true energy.

Whenever the Dragon Tiger True Qi tried to escape, fine scales would appear on Xu Yunfan's body, like thousands of hungry little mouths, devouring the free energy.

Beneath the old Taoist's robe, the Xuan Turtle Shell creaked under the strain, its life force drained, and the shell pieces crumbled into dust.

Three breaths later, Xu Yunfan withdrew his palm and lightly shook it, scattering a handful of bone powder between his fingers.

The empty shell of a body crashed to the ground, shattering into dust upon impact and vanishing without a trace in the wind. Only the charred tiger claw marks and dragon-shaped watermarks remained, proving that a ninth-realm grandmaster had once perished here.

'You have absorbed a large amount of Dragon-Tiger True Qi, greatly increasing the total amount of your Ten Extremes Martial Arts True Qi. You have reached the limit of a hundred years of cultivation.'

I glanced at a message floating on the attribute panel in the field of vision.

Before he could even get a good look at the surge of true energy within his body, Xu Yunfan looked up at the remaining two Xuanzhen Daoists, revealing his gleaming white teeth.

The Ten Extreme True Qi within his body surged like a raging sea. The True Qi he had just absorbed had not yet been fully refined, and wisps of True Qi were already emanating from every pore of his body.

He raised his head and looked at the remaining two Xuanzhen Sect elders, their white teeth barely visible, like ferocious beasts ready to devour their prey.

Before the two old Taoists could recover from the shock of their fellow disciple's tragic death, their vision suddenly blurred. Xu Yunfan's hands were already gripping their skulls like iron clamps.

The Ten Extremes True Qi in their palms swirled rapidly, forming a strange vortex above their heads, resembling a dragon and tiger locked in combat.

The old Taoists, who had painstakingly cultivated the Dragon and Tiger True Qi for sixty years, were now fleeing frantically as if they had encountered their natural enemy. The Tiger Fiend Qi transformed into crimson flames that spewed from their seven orifices, while the Dragon Vein Profound Qi condensed into a dark blue mist that rose from the Baihui point.

"Brother Daoist... save me..."

The old Taoist on the left roared and began to manipulate the Dragon-Tiger Seal, but Xu Yunfan pulled back his five fingers, forcefully shattering the still-developing secret weapon.

The old Taoist on the right fared even worse; his protective Xuan Turtle shell cracked with a "crackling" sound, and his life essence blood seeped out from the gaps in the shell plates, which was quickly drained into dried scabs.

Three breaths later, Xu Yunfan shook off the two empty shells.

That once ethereal and otherworldly body now crumbled inch by inch like a weathered terracotta figurine, its impact on the ground producing a sound like metal clashing against metal.

After the Dragon-Tiger True Qi was completely extracted, the final movement of these two ninth-realm Qi Refining bodies, which had been tempered to transcend the mortal realm, was the transformation of their bones into jade.

"..."

The area within the barrier was now like a battlefield.

Xu Yunfan coldly glanced at the remaining Tianxuan Sword Master, the three female cultivators from Penglai Pavilion, Na Xuanlin, and the two old eunuchs.

The sword master suddenly tore open his clothes, and the sword-shaped birthmark on his chest burst forth with a dazzling cold light: "Xu Yunfan! Take another step forward, and I will self-destruct the Heavenly Pivot Sword Soul!"

Before he could finish speaking, he felt a chill on the back of his neck.

Xu Yunfan appeared behind him without him noticing, and the Ten Extremes True Qi wrapped around his fingertips actually simulated the unique "Sword Qi Turns into Rain" characteristic of the Sword Pavilion, freezing him in place instantly.

"Your lives are no longer in your own hands."

Upon witnessing this bizarre and terrifying scene, the beautiful woman from Penglai screamed and was about to turn and flee when Xu Yunfan grabbed her from a distance.

She was horrified to discover that her internal energy was leaking out like a burst dam, even though Xu Yunfan hadn't even touched her skin.

The special effect of remote energy absorption brought by the Ten Extremes Martial Arts Absorption is now fully displayed!
On the Xuanwu Martial Arts Stage, the moment the last wisp of true energy pierced through the old eunuch's brow, the entire arena fell into deathly silence.

Looking around, the training ground was completely unrecognizable.

The bluestone ground was covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and several deep pits still contained residual waves of true energy, which occasionally burst out with dazzling lightning.

The corpses of the five major sects lay scattered everywhere.

The entire arena was filled with the pungent smell of blood, mixed with the odor of burnt flesh.

Broken weapons and torn flags were scattered everywhere, and several banners embroidered with the sect's emblem were still emitting wisps of smoke.

The only living person standing was Xu Yunfan, who stood with his hands behind his back, and the old deacon he had specially left behind.

The old man slumped beside the wreckage of the referee's bench, the hem of his official robes soaked in blood. His aged fingers gripped half of the Imperial Examination Book tightly, his cloudy eyes filled with dazedness and numbness.

Xu Yunfan was surrounded by grayish-brown Ten Extreme True Qi, and his body was like a furnace constantly refining various kinds of exotic true qi.

Occasionally, a wisp of golden Buddhist energy could be seen attempting to escape, only to be instantly pulverized by the Primordial True Seed. At other times, several strands of dark blue water-elemental true energy would circulate within his flesh and blood, but he would suppress them with the Ten Extremes Martial Arts.

He looked up at Xuan Lin, who was kneeling on the ground. This envoy of Penglai Pavilion, who was once so imposing, was nowhere to be seen.

The fish-scale armor, forged from millennia-old black iron, was cracking and fissures, and the gleaming cloud patterns between the armor plates were fading one by one.
