The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 173 Standoff

Just at this time.

Lu Xuan made a move.

His eyes suddenly widened.

"Chaotic Divine Eye, Annihilation!"

Although he has not yet truly mastered the second level of Nirvana, with the help of the trace of primordial power he absorbed in the Cleansing Pool, and the Netherfire Eye he possessed before, he has managed to absorb the strange fire.

It's still barely enough to unleash a single eye technique attack with the attribute of annihilation!

Of course, it can only be used once a day.

"Buzz!"

Two beams of grayish-white flame shot out from his eyes in an instant.

These two beams of light are actually not very thick, and even look somewhat weak.

But the moment they appeared, the surrounding space seemed to freeze.

"Pfft!"

The beam of light was extremely fast, completely ignoring the water ape's protective demonic aura and striking precisely at the location of its demonic core in its chest.

"roar!!!"

The water ape let out an extremely shrill scream.

Although the grayish-white flames were rather weak, they clung to its wounds like maggots, relentlessly burning its flesh and demon core.

The intense pain, originating from the depths of its soul, caused its massive body to tremble violently.

The originally ferocious offensive faltered for a moment, revealing a huge opening.

"A great opportunity!"

A sharp glint flashed in Xiao Huohuo's eyes.

As a battle-hardened genius, how could he possibly miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

"The Ninth Transformation of the Blazing Sun!"

"Burn the heavens and boil the seas!"

Xiao Huohuo shouted loudly, and his aura reached its peak at that moment.

A crimson phantom of a blazing sun appeared in the void behind him.

"Die!"

Xiao Huohuo gripped the giant ruler tightly with both hands and raised it high.

The illusory image of the blazing sun instantly merged into the giant ruler.

The giant ruler, originally crimson, has now turned into a dazzling white-gold color.

It emitted extremely high temperatures.

The surrounding river water evaporated instantly, creating a huge vacuum zone.

"boom!"

The giant ruler fell.

Like a shooting star falling to earth.

It smashed directly into the water ape's chest.

"Snap!"

The sound of bones cracking was clearly audible.

Followed by.

"Bang!"

A deafening explosion rang out.

The massive body of that water ape at the Returning Origin Realm was actually smashed into a cloud of blood mist by that foot!

Even the demon core was instantly melted by that terrifying high temperature!

He died like that?

One strike instantly kills a monster at the Returning Origin Realm!

This is the true strength of a peak expert at the ninth level of the Returning Origin Realm!

The entire audience was astonished.

Not only Lu Xuan, but also Jian Wuchen and the others not far away had their pupils shrink slightly.

Xiao Huohuo's move is already close to the power of a Dharma Body!

"call----"

Xiao Huohuo retracted the giant ruler, exhaled a long breath of stale air, and his face was slightly pale.

Clearly, this move also took a toll on him.

He turned to look at Lu Xuan, his eyes full of admiration.

"Junior Brother Lu, thank you very much!"

If Lu Xuan hadn't broken through the water ape's defenses and disrupted its movements with that attack, it would have been impossible for him to defeat this monster so decisively.

They might even find themselves in a fierce battle, overtaken by the horde of beasts behind them.

"You're too kind, senior brother."

Lu Xuan shook his head, his face also somewhat pale.

That attack just now almost drained all the chaotic primordial energy and most of his divine soul power from his body.

He was unable to launch a second attack for a short period of time.

"Don't just stand there!"

"Hurry up!"

With the water ape no longer blocking his way, Xiao Huohuo was instantly free to act.

Without any hesitation, he turned and charged towards the giant crocodile beast that was near Jian Wuchen.

"Brother Jian, I'm here to help you!"

With the two prodigies joining forces, the crocodile beast was instantly forced into a retreat.

"Dustless Sword Domain, Kill!"

Jian Wuchen also held back, gathering thousands of sword energies and piercing directly through the crocodile's head.

Next was Zhuge Qing's side, and then Leng Rushuang's side.

With the help of Xiao Huohuo, a powerful outsider, the remaining three monsters were quickly dealt with.

"Rush!"

With the last line of defense breached.

With no further obstacles, the group rushed into the blue vortex.

Just as their figures disappeared.

The beast horde behind them finally arrived, but they could only miss their target, letting out angry roars.

After a dizzying, weightless sensation, Lu Xuan felt his feet settle on solid ground again.

The sight before him startled him slightly.

This is a vast and boundless wilderness.

The sky was hazy and there was no sun; only nine enormous halos of different colors hung in the sky.

On the desolate plains, the wind howled, whipping up clouds of yellow sand.

In the far distance, a majestic mountain can be vaguely seen, piercing the clouds and seemingly connecting heaven and earth.

"This is... a secret realm?"

Su Qinghuan stood beside Lu Xuan, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

This kind of method, which forms its own world, is something that one may have seen countless times in ancient books, but seeing it with one's own eyes is still shocking.

A peak-level expert in the Dharma Aspect Realm can generally comprehend a trace of the laws of space and leave behind a small space.

But that's still a far cry from a small, independent world!

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Just then, a series of whooshing sounds came from behind.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of figures fell out of the void one after another.

It was the Yin Sha Sect and the Tian Jian Sect members who followed closely behind.

Although they were a step behind, they were not completely stopped by the beast tide. They just looked a bit disheveled, and many of them were even injured.

Especially on the Yin Sha Sect's side, the original team of one hundred people has now been reduced to less than seventy people, clearly suffering heavy losses in the beast tide.

However, this is consistent with the usual practices of the Yin Sha Sect.

The lower-level disciples are just expendable resources.

As soon as the true disciple of the Yin Sha Sect landed, he glared fiercely at Lu Xuan and the others, his eyes brimming with killing intent.

With Lu Xuan leading the way, the Ziyang Sect members were not held back by the beast tide and suffered almost no losses.

But the remaining beast tide directly besieged them and the Heavenly Sword Sect.

In other words, they took on some of the pressure for the Ziyang Sect.

This debt should naturally be settled with the Ziyang Sect.

At least that's how he sees it.

On the Tianjian Sect's side, the leader was a young man dressed in a blue sword robe and carrying an ancient longsword.

This person is named Jian Wuxin. He is the chief of the Tianjian Sect in this generation. His sword intent has been refined to the extreme, even surpassing Jian Wuchen of the Ziyang Sect.

Although he didn't speak, his sharp sword intent spoke volumes.

The three forces once again found themselves in a standoff on this wasteland.

The atmosphere instantly became tense and hostile.

"What? You want to make a move here?"

Xiao Huohuo, carrying the giant ruler, stepped forward and blocked the way for the crowd.

"This is supposed to be the First Heaven, and there's not a single thing here. Are we going to fight to the death here and let those rogue cultivators get the better of us?"

Upon hearing this, the Yin Sha Sect disciple snorted coldly. Although unwilling, he knew that Xiao Huohuo was right.

Taking action now would certainly not bring any benefits.
