Immortality starts from the liver proficiency

Chapter 375 Five Sects in the World
The spiritual energy of the entire Tianzhu Peak was brutally shattered, and the mountain emitted a mournful cry of unbearable pressure. Countless ancient pines, palaces, and stone steps were reduced to dust before the hammer even arrived!
"boom--!!!"

The hammer struck the ground with tremendous force, like a pillar of heaven collapsing.

Centered on the Sword Pavilion Mountain Gate, the earth veins within a ten-mile radius cracked inch by inch, and the mountain collapsed like tofu. Countless Sword Pavilion disciples were shredded into blood mist by the violent true energy before they could even scream.

The elders watching from afar were terrified. They desperately activated their protective sword energy, but they were still shaken by the aftershocks and bled from all seven orifices. Those with weaker cultivation exploded and died on the spot!

When the smoke and dust cleared, the entire Jiange Mountain Range had completely collapsed, with only a solitary scripture pavilion standing on the edge of the ruins, which was the result of Xu Yunfan deliberately protecting it with his true energy.

He put down his hammer and stood up, his gaze sweeping over the few remaining Sword Pavilion disciples scattered among the ruins. Now only a handful remained. He said calmly, "From this day forward, this place belongs to my Dao Sect."

"..."

His gaze swept over the scarlet soft sword that the old woman He Yilin had left behind, and with a single gesture, he took the sword into his hand.

"gossamer……"

Looking at the two characters engraved on the scarlet sword, the sword trembled slightly as if it were alive, and faintly emitted a resentful hum.

Xu Yunfan remained calm as the pressure of a terrestrial immortal realm surged forth. The Ten Extremes True Qi spread from his fingertips to the sword hilt, and the sword spirit was struck as if by lightning, its self-contained scarlet sword light disintegrating inch by inch.

"A mere eighth-rank cultivator dares to disobey?"

With a snap of his fingers, the soft sword, like a red serpent, obediently coiled around his waist. The originally violent blood patterns on the sword's spine now flowed gently, and the sword itself seemed to transform into a black iron belt to fasten the dragon scale armor.
-
Before the aftershocks of the destruction of Jian Ge had subsided, Xu Yunfan's figure had already broken through the void and arrived at "Little Sumeru Mountain" where Amitabha Temple was located.

This mountain is known as the "First Pure Land of Zen Buddhism". The golden summit of the mountain is bathed in Buddha's light. The temple enshrines the relics of eminent monks from past dynasties, and there is also the "Mahavairocana Seal", a divine weapon guarding the temple to suppress the fortune.

However, when Xu Yunfan's Ten Extremes True Qi poured down like a celestial river flowing backward, all compassion became futile.

Without uttering a word, he raised his hand and unleashed a Heavenly Collapse from the Eight Desolate Dragon Meteor Hammer Technique, the Mountain-Shaking and Sea-Suppressing Hammer, carrying the phantom of a crimson-gold dragon, crashing towards the mountain gate.

Before the hammer even struck, the gale had already torn apart large sections of buildings, causing thousands of bronze Buddha statues inside the temple to crumble and the bell tower and drum tower to collapse with a deafening roar.

The first seated Cihang attempted to block with the "Vajra Subduing Demon Circle," but the hammer force shattered his divine weapon, and his true energy was completely absorbed, leaving him a dried-up corpse.

Within three breaths, the earth veins of the entire Lesser Mount Sumeru were drained, and the mountain collapsed from the peak downwards, with the Sutra Repository, Arhat Hall, and Relic Pagoda all sinking into the abyss.

The surviving elders formed the Ten Thousand Buddhas Paying Homage Formation, attempting a desperate last stand. Xu Yunfan sneered, and his Ten Extreme True Qi transformed into a gluttonous maw, devouring the life force of the hundred martial monks within the formation.

The abbot, Master Ku Chan, burned his lifespan to activate the "Great Sun Tathagata Seal," and the Buddha's light burned like the scorching sun. However, Xu Yunfan's spine was suddenly filled with golden light, and his Ten Extreme True Qi was like a raging storm. He struck out with his backhand, and the Buddha Seal shattered on the spot.

Ku Chan's life essence was drained, turning him into a dried-up corpse.

Ultimately, the thousand-year-old foundation of Amitabha Temple was reduced to ruins, with only half a broken stele inscribed with the four characters "Amitabha Buddha," soaked in blood mist.

At dawn the next day, Xu Yunfan set foot on "Xuanzhen Mountain" in Qingzhou.

This mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. The Xuanzhen Sect is famous throughout the world for its Dragon and Tiger True Qi. It practices the way of Yin and Yang, harmonizing the dragon and tiger. The old Taoists in the sect all cultivate the "Dragon and Tiger Elixir Strength".

However, as soon as Xu Yunfan reached the foot of the mountain, he cleaved the protective sea of ​​clouds with his sword, and the aftershocks of the sword energy cut the "ladder to heaven" on the mountainside into two sections.

The three elders of the Xuanzhen Sect joined forces to unleash the "Mystic Tortoise Armor," which activated the earth's veins to transform into a hundred-foot-tall phantom of a black tortoise. However, Xu Yunfan shattered the tortoise's shell with a single hammer blow. The recoil shattered the Sanqing Hall atop the mountain, and the jade statue of the patriarch enshrined inside was reduced to dust.

The Grand Elder roared, "Xu Yunfan! How dare you blaspheme the Dao Ancestor?!"

Xu Yunfan scoffed, "You who steal the people's wealth by taking advantage of their generosity, do you even deserve to talk about morality? You should have foreseen this day when you chose sides." Before he finished speaking, the Ten Extremes True Qi swept in like a raging tide, and the Xuan Turtle Armor crumbled inch by inch.

The Second Elder used his pure Dragon and Tiger True Qi to create a martial arts form, which became the Heavenly Master's Demon-Subduing Form, and the Venerable Form instantly became a thundercloud pressing down.

Xu Yunfan neither dodged nor evaded, letting the Dharma image fall. He then turned around and refined it for his own use, absorbing all of the Second Elder's true energy. Immediately afterward, he pointed a finger, and the Second Elder's head exploded.

The remaining disciples formed a sword formation under the guidance of an elder.

Xu Yunfan's expression was icy. His gaze swept around, pausing almost imperceptibly on Yu Jingshan below.

Yu Jingshan stood inconspicuously at the edge of the sword formation, her black hair fluttering wildly in the violent energy.

At this moment, the other party's expression was resolute, his brows were sharp as knives, and the three-foot-long sword in his hand rang out incessantly.

The robes were torn open in several places by the strong wind, revealing the blood-red muscles that twisted like dragons beneath, a sign that the "Mysterious True Bone Forging Technique" had been mastered to the "Golden Marrow Mercury Essence" stage.

With a clear shout, her blood and qi exploded like a furnace, and the energy of the three hundred disciples in the sword formation all converged on the tip of the elder's sword, actually forming a phantom of a "heavenly sword" more than ten feet long in mid-air. Wherever the sword pointed, even the mountain mist was cut into a cloud of sword qi by the sharp sword intent.

Xu Yunfan's gaze lingered for a moment on her taut knuckles, where her thumb and forefinger had already cracked and bled from the extreme surge of her blood and energy.

But the vague, unsettling feeling in his heart vanished in an instant, and he drew the Blood River Silk Sword from his waist with a backhand motion.

The moment the scarlet sword was drawn, it burst forth with a dazzling blood-red light under the infusion of the Ten Extremes True Qi, and the sword trembled like a ravenous beast.

"The first of the three styles of Pure Yang, Burning the Sea."

The last two words were uttered softly, yet they sounded like a decree from the God of Fire.

A violent burst of pure Yang sword energy erupted from the sword's edge, and blazing golden flames instantly engulfed the entire sword formation.

The illusory image of the Heavenly Sword, which was said to be able to evolve into a dragon and a tiger, vaporized inch by inch the moment it came into contact with the sword energy, just like snow meeting boiling water.

Within the sword formation, Yu Jingshan's pupils constricted sharply, her eyes filled with terror. Before she could make a move, golden waves of fire roared across her vision...

Where the sword energy passed, a golden thread simultaneously appeared around the waists of the three hundred Xuanzhen disciples.

The next moment, the blood waterfall shot into the sky, and before it hit the ground, it was evaporated into red mist by the pure yang true fire.

The rocks were vitrified by the high temperature, the streams boiled and cracked, and even the "Xuanzhen Precepts" inscription on the main peak cliff, which had been carved for 600 years, was melted into magma by the fire waves and flowed down the stone steps into dazzling blood-gold streams.

When Xu Yunfan sheathed his sword, the entire main peak had already turned into scorched earth.

Only the elder's broken sword remained, stuck diagonally in the ground, its hilt still bearing scorch marks.

Xu Yunfan glanced at it, then turned and left without hesitation.

Stepping into the space, the person shot off towards the Nine Luminaries Sect.

The Nine Luminaries Sect is based on the Nine Luminaries Mountain in Yanbei Road. The sect is founded on the "Nine Luminaries Qi Devouring Technique". Its disciples all have abundant blood and qi, and their blood and qi alone make them far superior to other martial artists of the same level.
