Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 30 Phoenix Divine Bird, A Narrow Gorge

Thousands of starlight and sword light burst forth. Taiwei raised his hand and unleashed a Taiyi Divine Thunder, which he had learned from Shenxiao. The divine thunder, which divided Yin and Yang, shattered the surging power of spacetime.

The Seven Star Dragon Abyss, covered in silvery starlight, tore apart the vast star river blocking Taiwei's way. The pure and turbid energies surged, and Taiwei let out a low shout, unleashing the Dragon-Tiger Intercourse Divine Power from the Twelve Branches of the Mysterious Pivot.

A dragon's roar shattered the purple tassels hanging in front of Zixiao, and a tiger's roar pierced through the square order evolved by the power of spacetime. The Heavenly Tiger and Purple Dragon appeared on the left and right sides of Taiwei.

The Heavenly Tiger was above, draped in the Seven Stars, its body emitting a constant metallic clang. Below, the Purple Dragon surged with the power of Yin Turbid Mysterious Water, and a mighty, rushing river severed the power of spacetime order surging in front of Zi Xiao.

"I'm not like Brother Luo Hou. I would never do something like devouring someone else's original memories. However, I am indeed very interested in their origins and understanding of the Great Dao. The fact that you could see through my plan at a glance suggests that you have done this before."

Zi Xiao flung out the wooden ruler in her hand, and a phoenix with fiery red feathers, golden eyes, and colorful tail appeared above her. Its ethereal and melodious cry, which penetrated time and space, suppressed the dragon roars and tiger howls on Taiwei's left and right sides.

Strands of bright red Nirvana Flame appeared on the Phoenix Divine Bird. Upon seeing this, Taiwei frowned. He was not surprised that Zixiao could evolve the Crimson Phoenix Divine Bird with a wooden ruler; he could do the same.

However, the fact that even the Phoenix royal family's most powerful divine ability, the Nirvana Sacred Flame, could be manifested made Taiwei somewhat confused. The Nirvana Sacred Flame is the Phoenix royal family's innate divine ability, which only the Phoenix with the purest bloodline can master.

Taiwei knew that Zixiao's true form was definitely not a phoenix, but the phoenix he had evolved could now control the Nirvana Sacred Flame. This was enough to show that Zixiao knew the Phoenix royal family very well, and it was even possible that he had killed a pure-blooded phoenix to study the Phoenix royal family's Nirvana Sacred Flame.

"A bunch of useless people, they don't even know that their most important supernatural power has been taken over by others."

Taiwei looked at the phoenix divine bird that was attacking him with fiery clouds all around him. He knew that he could not stop this phoenix divine bird with just the Heavenly Tiger and Purple Dragon on his left and right sides.

As Yin and Yang energies flared around him, the Heavenly Tiger and Purple Dragon on either side of Taiwei's body collapsed simultaneously. Then, accompanied by a majestic dragon roar, a true dragon with purple scales and golden patterns appeared in front of Taiwei, blocking the sweeping Nirvana Holy Flame.

Bingding True Fire, Rengui True Water, and Taiyi Divine Thunder—three supreme divine powers of heaven and earth—burst forth one after another from in front of the Purple Gold True Dragon, blocking the Nirvana Holy Flame that burned all things and decomposed Yin and Yang into nothingness.

Even so, the Purple-Gold True Dragon is still not as strong as the Phoenix Divine Bird, but it can hold out for a while. Now it depends on whether Taiwei can sever Zixiao's primordial spirit imprint before the Purple-Gold True Dragon is burned to ashes.

The Seven Star Dragon Abyss drew upon the immense power of heaven and man to strike down, its ultimate sword light, like that of a flying immortal, crisscrossing thirty million times in an instant, completely tearing apart the spatial and temporal order surrounding Zi Xiao.

The overwhelming sword aura was like the collapse of the heavens and the fall of the sun. The powerful and vast sword light shattered the misaligned spacetime that had just formed in front of Zi Xiao amidst his slightly furrowed brows. The so-called supreme and powerful spacetime power had no effect whatsoever under such a magnificent and vast sword aura.

"Flying sword, powerful sword, it seems you have a wide range of knowledge in swordsmanship. But don't you have your own unique swordsmanship? Why don't you use it? Do you lack confidence in your own swordsmanship, or do you believe that a single swordsmanship is insufficient to defeat me?"

The wooden ruler also unleashed a dazzling and pure sword light, and the same mysterious and subtle sword light burst forth in front of Zixiao. One sword light evolved into streaks of purple immortal light, blocking the thousands of flying immortal sword lights that the Seven Star Dragon Abyss had unleashed.

Another sword light slashed across the void, and the sun and moon appeared together, and the sea of ​​stars descended. Zi Xiao easily unleashed the essence of the sword technique that governs all things in heaven and earth, and the powerful sword that had struck down from the Seven Star Dragon Abyss vanished without a trace.

"That's right. My Celestial Sword Dao is still in its early stages. In terms of perfection, it is naturally inferior to other branches of sword dao. It is basically impossible for my Celestial Sword Dao to sever your primordial spirit avatar at this stage."

Taiwei made no attempt to hide anything and openly admitted that his Celestial Sword Dao was insufficient to kill Zixiao.

Although the opponent was only a primordial spirit incarnation, he still possessed the cultivation level of a peak Golden Immortal, coupled with the Daoist cultivation level of the Taiyi realm. In the fight so far, although Taiwei had tried his best to suppress Zixiao, he was still slightly at a disadvantage on the field.

"So the next match won't be a kendo contest."

Taiwei's Seven Star Dragon Abyss sword flew out of his hand instantly, and the lightning-fast Flying Immortal Sword light also knocked away the wooden ruler in Zixiao's hand. The two spiritual treasures, which carried the essence of the two great sword arts, continued to expand above.

One swordsmanship moves the square and circle, evolving the order of heaven and earth; another swordsmanship descends upon the starlight, constructing a vast sea of ​​stars. The four sword paths constantly intertwine and attack, and in Taiwei's eyes, there are dazzling sword light trails. At this moment, his own sword skills have improved slightly.

With his sleeves hanging down, Taiwei looked at Zixiao, who was calm and smiling, and his expression turned slightly cold. He flicked his left sleeve in front of him, and countless yin and yang energies intertwined and collided, creating a torrent of light that was black and white and whose light was unclear.

The bolts of purple lightning that struck the torrent of light twisted and collapsed the instant they hit it, instantly vanishing. The black and white torrent of light was only two fingers wide, but its length was endless.

Taiwei stood behind the torrent of light, looking at Zixiao opposite him with an unusually calm expression. The seemingly ordinary torrent of light was now like a chasm, separating Zixiao and Taiwei in two different areas.

No matter what supernatural powers or profound truths Zixiao manifests, they cannot surpass the torrent of light by even a fraction.

"Divine power, One Line of Heaven." Taiwei looked at the furrowed brows on Zixiao's face and said calmly. This divine power was not one of the twelve branches of the Xuan Shu, but Taiwei had just had a sudden realization.

Although it was only a sudden enlightenment of a divine power, this One Line Sky is both offensive and defensive, and it is one of the few divine powers that Taiwei has mastered that has almost reached perfection.

Even from Taiwei's own perspective at the Taiyi realm, his One Line Heaven Divine Power was extremely profound. The Yin and Yang energies evolved into opposing forces, and by constantly colliding with each other, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was annihilated.

Even Taiwei at this stage doesn't have a good way to get past the One Line Sky, a divine power it has evolved.
