The First Venerable of All Paths

"The spear is drawn, as if by divine intervention!"

The final move of the Eighteen Blood Frenzy Techniques.

His spear strikes are like those of a celestial being, as if a celestial being were wielding a spear, dominating the world.

His tone was arrogant, and his gunmanship was even more arrogant!

In the midst of the miasma forest, a dazzling spear light, stretching across the heavens and earth, pierced through the thick miasma.

Countless towering trees snapped in the face of the powerful spear thrust, turning into countless fragments.

The dragon of blade light, powerful enough to cleave stars, began to crack and then completely disintegrated before this spear.

"Boom!"

A terrifying gale swept in all directions.

Dust filled the sky, once again shrouding the miasma-ridden forest.

On the mountainside, Mingche and the others stared in deep shock at the vanishing blade and spear marks in the dense forest.

"What terrifying swordsmanship!"

"What an imposing spear stance!"

Zhou Yan formed hand seals, trying his best to stabilize the magic array, his face filled with shock.

Just now, the fight between Fang Xuan and Wen Donglin almost shattered the formation.

Fortunately, he intervened in time and stabilized the magic array.

Otherwise, if the anti-air formation is lifted and he manages to escape, the consequences will be dire.

"Can you tell who won?"

Mingche was a little nervous.

"That kid is strong, but Patriarch Wen is still a cut above."

Zhou Yan said, "However, Patriarch Wen's condition is not right. We need to deal with Fang Xuan as soon as possible."

"That makes things easier."

Mingche nodded and said, "Let's go, let's see that kid off."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan hesitated.

"Young Master Ming, that boy is cunning and treacherous. It would be unwise to go there now."

Zhou Yan suggested, "Why don't we wait until Patriarch Wen has subdued that brat before we make our move?"

"Didn't Master Zhou just say that Patriarch Wen was superior?"

Mingche glanced at Zhou Yan and said, "Or is it that Master Zhou doesn't have confidence in his own magic array?"

"this......"

Zhou Yan hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "I will leave everything to Young Master Ming's discretion."

He could tell at a glance that Mingche didn't trust him or Wen Donglin.

He worried that he and Wen Donglin had conspired beforehand to kill Fang Xuan and then take possession of some of his belongings.

That's it.

Hopefully Wen Donglin can act quickly, otherwise he will suffer a huge loss this time.

.......

In the midst of countless miasma forests.

The smoke dissipated, and the dust settled.

Two figures stared at each other from a distance.

The blade was full of nicks and covered with fine cracks.

"Snap!"

The long sword turned into iron filings and slowly fell to the ground.

Wen Donglin remained unmoved, his gaze growing increasingly cold as he looked at Fang Xuan, his eyes filled with an intense killing intent.

His hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.

Below, Fang Xuan knelt on one knee, his hand gripping a long spear, bloodstains falling to the ground.

He stood up, supporting himself with his spear, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Ahem!"

Fang Xuan coughed, spitting out another mouthful of blood.

"Master Wen, you have great sword skills!"

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Fang Xuan looked at Wen Donglin with a calm gaze, devoid of sorrow or joy.

Even though he had mastered the unity of man and weapon, the difference in their levels of skill was still significant, and he was ultimately no match for Wen Donglin.

Even so, Fang Xuan showed no fear or intention to back down.

"You're not bad either."

Wen Donglin said with a complicated expression, "You are truly remarkable to have withstood my peak strike."

"Unfortunately, he was no match for Patriarch Wen."

Fang Xuan circulated his internal energy, attempting to suppress his injuries.

"Kid, don't waste your energy."

Wen Donglin said, "Although you have many trump cards, the residual sword intent within you is not so easy to suppress."

Wen Donglin raised his arm again, extended a finger, and gently pressed it down on Fang Xuan.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Array patterns appeared on Wen Donglin's body.

These array patterns do not indicate that Wen Donglin is an array master.

This is because the array eye that Zhou Yan left on Wen Donglin in advance helped him to gather the power of the array around him.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Sparks of light swept in, coalescing on Wen Donglin's fingers into a dazzling radiance that illuminated the heavens.

Finally, the array pattern transformed into a thick finger, which pressed down fiercely towards Fang Xuan.

"No airborne attacks allowed!"

Before his finger even touched the ground, Fang Xuan felt an indescribable force locking onto and suppressing him.

Let alone fight back, they can't even move a finger.

"A fourth-grade array master, truly a marvelous idea."

Fang Xuan steadied himself, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.

By using people as a unit, we can mobilize the strength of an entire force.

Such methods are beyond the comprehension of ordinary array masters.

"Unfortunately, you've messed with the wrong person."

A sinister smile curled at the corner of Fang Xuan's mouth, and the Bagua pattern flickered in his eyes.

The sealing power eased slightly the next moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Xuan quickly formed hand seals.

"The formation locks the mountains and rivers, blood shatters in all directions!"

As soon as he finished speaking, blood-red chains shot up from the dense forest, stretching across the sky and crashing down on the array's fingers.

"Splash!"

Crimson chains bound the array fingers, preventing them from falling.

"A formation?"

Wen Donglin's expression changed.

"When did you set up the formation?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan laughed and said, "If you could discover it so easily, wouldn't all my planning over this long period of time have been for nothing?"

"layout?"

Wen Donglin was startled and exclaimed, "Could it be...?"

"The formation undergoes three transformations: locking the mountain, trapping the sea, and sealing off!"

Fang Xuan's hand seals moved like lightning, and array patterns instantly spread throughout the entire Ten Thousand Miasma Forest.

Thousands upon thousands of fallen leaves drifted slowly up.

The broken branches and wood seemed to be held up by an invisible hand.

A thousand trees form an array, ten thousand leaves stand tall.

"Um?"

Mingche and the others, who had just stepped into the Ten Thousand Miasma Forest, all changed their expressions drastically when they looked at the array patterns around them.

"Master Zhou, this place seems to be sealed off!"

A rare look of panic appeared on Mingche's face.

"It's alright."

Zhou Yan smiled arrogantly and said, "That kid is just a third-grade array master. Here, I am the ruler!"

After saying that, Zhou Yan stomped his foot.

"break!"

The array patterns swept across the ground like a plow, preparing to disperse the surrounding array patterns.

"Boom!"

A loud bang was heard, and the array patterns released by Zhou Yan were completely shattered.

The magic array set up by Fang Xuan was not damaged in the slightest.

"What a powerful formation!"

Zhou Yan's expression changed, and he became serious.

"Master Zhou, what exactly happened?"

Mingche asked, "Don't you have a way to break this formation either?"

"It was Zhou who underestimated this formation."

Zhou Yan was somewhat embarrassed and said, "However, Young Master Ming, there is no need to panic. As long as we kill that brat, this formation will collapse on its own."

"I hope so!"

Mingche said, "This young master does not wish for any accidents to occur."

"Absolutely not!"

Zhou Yan said, "I will do everything in my power to help Patriarch Wen kill Fang Xuan!"

After saying this, Zhou Yan immediately sat cross-legged.

"The formation connects heaven and earth, the law governs the universe!"

Zhou Yan took out an array plate and continuously poured streams of Yuan energy into it.

"Buzzing!"

On the array plate, mysterious runes flashed continuously, and array patterns shot straight into the sky.

"By borrowing the power of all directions, let us vanquish demons and monsters!"

As Zhou Yan formed a complex hand seal and pressed it onto the array plate, streams of spiritual energy surged in from all directions, like a torrent entering Wen Donglin's body.

"Ugh!"

With the support of this spiritual energy, Wen Donglin's internal energy surged dramatically.

He broke through directly from the first level of the Divine Intent Realm to the second and third levels!

However, Wen Donglin's face showed pain.

The power within him was about to burst him.

"You little bastard, die!"

As Wen Donglin's cultivation improved, the array-patterned fingers that were bound by the blood-red chains suddenly released a dazzling spiritual light, breaking the blood-red chains one by one.

"Boom!"

The array-patterned fingers, now free, transformed into a massive mountain and crashed down upon Fang Xuan.

Moreover, the mountains are constantly growing larger.

Wen Donglin's attack actually contained a variation of the Lesser Heavy Mountain Formation.

"One sword pierces the peak, open!"

Fang Xuan's mind stirred, and the Phoenix Cry Sword came hurtling towards him like a streak of light, colliding with the mountain.

"Snap!"

The mountain was cleaved in two by a single sword strike, and blood-red chains wrapped around it once more, binding all the remaining rubble.

"Heaven and earth are overturned, mountains and rivers are reversed, and storms rage!"

Seeing that Fang Xuan had broken through the first attack, Zhou Yan changed the hand seals.

At the same time, Wen Donglin suddenly produced a Thunder Stone in his hand. He gripped it tightly, and lightning burst forth, condensing into a thunder blade that crashed down.

"Thunder Blade Slash!"

The Thunder Blade, carrying an overbearing aura, slashed towards Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan raised his sword fingers and pointed upwards.

"Ten thousand swords return to nothingness, one sword annihilates thunder!"

The Phoenix Cry Sword soared upwards, releasing a sharp sword light that shattered the Thunder Blade into dust.

"The Calamity of the Wind..."

Just as Zhou Yao was about to change her hand seals again, Fang Xuan suddenly stood up, and the Bagua pattern in his eyes emitted light.

"I borrow the green hills, and the green hills help me!"

Fang Xuan quickly formed hand seals, his eyes gleaming.

In an instant, a gale howled, blowing fallen leaves, which condensed into a giant leaf sword above Fang Xuan's head.

This sword instantly merged with the Phoenix Cry Sword.

Fang Xuan put two fingers together and slammed them down hard.

"cut!"

Within his body, all his innate sword energy was released, forming a giant sword made of leaves, which slashed towards Wen Donglin.

"Snap!"

The space trembled, the sound was terrifying.

Upon seeing this, Wen Donglin's expression hardened, and he then formed a hand seal, creating a spiritual energy shield above his head.

"Sizzle!"

However, the spiritual energy shield only lasted for a moment before it was pierced by the giant leaf sword.

The giant sword fell again, striking Wen Donglin hard.

"Wow!"

Wen Donglin trembled violently, suddenly spitting out blood, and his breath rapidly declined.

To Wen Donglin's horror, he was still unable to stabilize his injuries and could only watch helplessly as his cultivation level continued to decline.

He went from the third level of the Divine Realm to the lower level of the Divine Realm in an instant, and then to the half-step Divine Realm.

Finally, he actually fell directly to the seventh level of the Condensation Realm before he finally stopped.

Losing his ability to fly, Wen Donglin staggered and fell directly from mid-air.

"No!"

Wen Donglin's face showed horror, and he exclaimed, "Zhou Yan, you dare to betray me!"

He could easily guess that Zhou Yan had manipulated his cultivation level.

Zhou Yan used an array to forcibly drain his own cultivation.

The purpose was to build up power for the next attack and deliver a fatal blow to Fang Xuan.

"The Tragedy of Rain!"

At that moment, Zhou Yan's voice rang out from the air.

Immediately afterwards, a torrential downpour, carrying a terrifying corrosive force, crashed down on Fang Xuan.

"Don't embarrass yourself with such an outdated trick!"

Fang Xuan snorted coldly and took a step forward.

The murderous intent erupted like a volcano.

His body was enveloped in immortal phoenix flames, scorching the heavens and earth and refining the rain curtain.

Then, Fang Xuan waved his hand, and a Bagua pattern emitting mysterious runes immediately floated above Fang Xuan's head, blocking all the corrosive rain.

Three Thousand Formation Diagrams!

Even if it's just a fragment, it's enough to deal with a mere fourth-grade array master!

Fang Xuan's gaze fell on Wen Donglin, who was falling rapidly, and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

"One sword, shattering all laws!"
