The First Venerable of All Paths

"Fang Xuan, be buried with my son!"

Ming Yong stood in the void, his face contorted and twisted, his eyes filled with nothing but extreme killing intent and madness.

The Sun-Devouring Copper Ring hangs high in the sky, its pitch-black ring slowly rotating, emitting terrifying devouring power and releasing a killing might that makes the heavens and earth tremble.

"die!"

Ming Yong shouted sharply and pointed his finger forward.

"Buzz!"

The Sun-Devouring Copper Ring suddenly accelerated its rotation, its pitch-black body bursting with a blinding, dark light, carrying immense power capable of crushing everything.

Like a meteorite crashing down, it struck Fang Xuan's head!

This was a truly fatal blow!

The residual force of the attack had merely brushed past him, yet it had already damaged Fang Xuan's meridians and caused his blood and qi to surge.

At this moment, the Sun-Devouring Copper Ring had already enveloped and sealed this world.

Fang Xuan's entire escape route was cut off.

There's nowhere to escape!

Even though he possesses the Chaos Saint Body and has many trump cards.

If you get hit, your body will be shattered and your soul will be destroyed!

The fighting below had already ceased.

The disciples of both He and Ming families looked up in unison, their eyes fixed on the desperate scene in mid-air, their minds shaken.

"Brother Fang!"

He Yun's eyes were bloodshot and his body was trembling, but he was powerless to do anything.

The Sun-Devouring Copper Ring drew ever closer, its terrifying power seemingly intent on crushing this entire world.

Just then, a roar was heard, and a figure broke through the wind, standing resolutely in front of Fang Xuan.

It's He Zhongtian!

He used his remaining spiritual power to create a protective shield to protect Fang Xuan.

"Walk!"

He Zhongtian's eyes were bloodshot.

This is a matter between the He family and the Ming family; Fang Xuan shouldn't get involved.

The Sun-Devouring Copper Ring crashed down, striking the spiritual energy shield with pinpoint accuracy.

"Boom!"

The terrifying power easily shattered the protective shield.

But the force was still strong, and it slammed into He Zhongtian's back.

"puff!"

He Zhongtian felt as if he had been crushed by a mountain, spitting out blood and shattering his bones.

His body crashed heavily into the ground, causing the earth to shake violently.

When the smoke and dust cleared, He Zhongtian was already on the verge of death.

"Father!"

"Master!"

He Yun and the others rushed toward He Zhongtian.

In the void, Fang Xuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He didn't expect it.

At the critical moment, it was He Zhongtian who blocked the fatal blow for him.

"He's courting death!"

Ming Yong showed no mercy whatsoever, his eyes were cold and cruel, and he raised his hand again to activate the Sun-Devouring Copper Ring.

"Fang Xuan, today, no one can save you!"

The copper ring spun rapidly, its devouring power surging once more, more terrifying than ever before.

"call!"

Fang Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing all his emotions.

Under the watchful eyes of many, Fang Xuan actually sat cross-legged on the Phoenix Cry Sword, casually took the Innate Sword Box from his back, and placed it across his knees.

He stroked the sword case with his palm.

The innate sword energy and divine soul power all surged into the sword box.

When he looked up again, a cold glint flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes as he stared intently at the domineering bronze ring.

"The sword seal serves as a lock, all spirits return to their sheath!"

As Fang Xuan's voice rang out, a deep and resonant sword cry suddenly exploded from the depths of the sword box, echoing throughout the heavens and earth!

The long-dormant innate sword box trembled violently, and the ancient patterns on the box body lit up with brilliant golden light. Layers of pale golden sealing light curtains stretched out from the box body and shattered.

Sword case unlocked!

A vast, boundless, and extremely domineering sword aura instantly erupted from the sword box, crushing the entire scene!

At this moment, all the killing power and spiritual energy fluctuations in the world were suppressed by the pressure of the sword box!

"Hmm? What's that aura?!"

Ming Yong, who was activating the Sun-Devouring Copper Ring, suddenly changed his expression and his mind trembled violently.

The immense power within that sword case was far more ancient, heavier, and more domineering than the Sun-Devouring Copper Ring in his hand!

Before he could react, Fang Xuan placed both hands on the box, his gaze icy, and shouted in a deep voice:

"The innate essence encompasses all laws, the spirit box suppresses heaven and earth—collect!"

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, an extremely violent suction force erupted from the sword box, engulfing the heavens and the earth.

The Sun-Devouring Copper Ring, which had been rampaging and devouring everything, trembled violently in the face of this absorbing force.

The black light surrounding it was chaotic and turbulent, as if it had encountered its natural nemesis and was being slowly absorbed into the sword box.

Its domineering power was rendered ineffective in the face of the Innate Sword Box.

"Whoosh!"

In just a few breaths, the Sun-Devouring Copper Ring was absorbed by the sword box.

In addition, all the weapons that had reached a certain grade were also sucked into the sword box.

The Innate Sword Box can hold all the divine weapons in the world!

This is not empty talk.

"How...how is this possible?!"

Ming Yong's pupils contracted sharply, and his lips trembled violently.

Before he could even react, his Sun-Devouring Copper Ring was sucked away.

The entire room fell silent!

All the disciples and elders of the Ming family were dumbfounded, their minds blank.

The patriarch's weapons were... taken away?

"Fang Xuan, you... wow!"

Ming Yong's body trembled violently, his blood and qi reversed course, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his life force instantly weakening by more than half.

The Sun-Devouring Copper Ring was connected to his mind and body. When it was forcibly removed and sealed away, he also suffered a certain backlash.

In particular, his spiritual energy and soul had been greatly depleted before, and now, with the backlash, his injuries were even more severe.

"Fang Xuan, give me back my weapon!!!"

Ming Yong's eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could tear Fang Xuan to pieces.

Fang Xuan ignored him and instead sat cross-legged on the sword, closing his eyes slightly.

Just as the Sun-Devouring Copper Ring was absorbed by the sword box, countless fragmented insights into swordsmanship flooded into his sea of ​​consciousness like a tide.

It travels between the meridians and the bones.

It settles within the mind and consciousness.

"Pop!"

A bottleneck that had been troubling Fang Xuan for a long time shattered quietly, like porcelain!

"I'm calling you, give my things back!!!"

Seeing that Fang Xuan remained unmoved, the enraged Ming Yong mobilized his remaining spiritual power, condensing it into a large hand, and slammed it down on Fang Xuan.

"You little bastard, if you're not going to talk, then die!!!"

A massive hand of spiritual energy descended from the sky, like a pillar of heaven collapsing.

"Buzz!"

Just then, Fang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, and a dazzling sword light that pierced through heaven and earth shot up from Fang Xuan's body!

At this moment, he was like a sharp sword with its edge fully revealed!

Fang Xuan had no more residual energy left.

Physical body, soul, primordial energy, and sword intent all merge into one, becoming indistinguishable from one another.

Every inch of his skin, every breath of his blood, and every thought of his mind transformed into the purest sword of slaughter.

"Is this what it means to become one with the sword?"

Fang Xuan spread his palms out, as if the entire world's sword dao power was at his disposal.

"Indeed mysterious."

Originally, Fang Xuan only controlled the sword with his divine sense, but now his body and mind are completely integrated with the sword path. Every move he makes is a sword force, and every breath he takes is a killing intent!

He slowly raised his head, looking at the overwhelming spiritual power hand descending upon him, his expression calm and serene.

Then, Fang Xuan raised his arm, pointed his sword finger, and pointed forward.

"cut!"

With a single stroke of the finger, the movement is as swift as drawing a sword.

A single sword strike, without any fancy moves or unnecessary variations.

Only the purest and most ruthless killing intent, and the most domineering and destructive sword energy, can bloom from the fingertips!

The sword energy swept across the sky, like the first sharp edge that opened up the world, splitting the spiritual energy hand in two and continuing to approach the terrified Ming Yong!

"How is that possible?!"

Ming Yong screamed in terror, his heart filled with boundless fear.

But he was, after all, a powerful being at the Divine Realm. His rich combat experience allowed him to force himself to calm down, mobilize his spiritual power, and condense it into a shield.

"Snap!"

The spiritual energy shield was shattered by the sword energy as soon as it was formed.

"Pfft!"

The sword energy swept past mercilessly, instantly tearing through Ming Yong's protective spiritual energy and piercing his abdomen.

Blood splattered across the sky!

But Fang Xuan did not stop there.

Fang Xuan moved like a sword, appearing in front of Ming Yong in an instant, and pointed a finger at Ming Yong's brow.

Just as Fang Xuan was about to unleash his sword energy, a powerful and domineering force suddenly descended, suppressing Fang Xuan and preventing him from drawing his sword.

"Whoosh!!"

An extremely ghostly black shadow appeared out of nowhere, shattering the night sky. It grabbed Ming Yong and quickly retreated, hovering a hundred meters away.

This man was dressed in a blue robe, with a sinister face and an imposing aura.

"Liu Ming!"

Fang Xuan immediately recognized the other party as Liu Ming, an elder of the Beast Taming Hall.

He was also a wise and insightful master.

This person's cultivation was unfathomable. Even though Fang Xuan had mastered the unity of man and sword while Chi Lin was still asleep, he was no match for him at all.

"Elder Liu Ming..."

Upon realizing that it was Liu Ming who had saved him, Ming Yong felt relieved and then said urgently, "Quick, kill him! He stole the Sun-Devouring Copper Ring!"

No wonder.

Liu Ming was somewhat surprised.

Liu Ming also coveted that Sun-Devouring Bronze Ring.

Logically, with such military force at his disposal, Ming Yong should have been in an invincible position. However, he was forced into such a sorry state by Fang Xuan because Fang Xuan had taken away the Sun-Eating Copper Ring.

But what Liu Ming was even more curious about was how Fang Xuan had managed to take away the Sun-Devouring Copper Ring.

But it doesn't matter anymore. As long as this person is captured, the truth will come out.

"town!"

Liu Ming raised his arm and gently tapped Fang Xuan.

His cultivation at the sixth level of the Divine Intent Realm erupted at this moment, as fierce as a mountain and as fiery as fire.

"Sixth level of Divine Intent?!"

Below, He Zhongtian, who had just stabilized his injuries, sensed Liu Ming's aura and his expression changed drastically, his eyes filled with despair.

With such a powerful opponent, what can he possibly use to fight?

What will they use to win?

Even escaping is a luxury.

Fang Xuan tensed up and immediately gripped the Phoenix Cry Sword, his body radiating a chilling sword aura.

Man and sword are perfectly integrated.

Man is like sword, sword is like man!

"sucker Punch."

A mocking smile appeared on Liu Ming's lips. He gathered his spiritual energy and transformed it into a giant finger, which he pressed down on Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan suppressed his restless emotions and poured all his energy and spirit into this sword strike.

"one......"

Just as Fang Xuan was about to draw his sword, Liu Ming, who was making his move, seemed to sense something and suddenly looked eastward.

Then......

Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, he grabbed the bewildered Ming Yong and appeared a hundred meters away with lightning speed.

After a few more flashes, it disappeared into the night sky.

Liu Ming has actually left!

Moreover, judging from their appearance, it seems like they... fled in panic?

But no matter what, Liu Ming's departure is a good thing for He Zhongtian and the others.

Fang Xuan's mind also relaxed.

But then, he looked down at the Ming family members below, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"The Ming family..."

"Hey!"

The cry of a phoenix resounded through the night sky, and streaks of golden and red sword energy roamed the heavens and earth, traversing all directions.

One by one, the bodies of Ming family martial artists were pierced by sword energy.

Some tried to escape, but were met with even more chilling sword energy.

In an instant, screams, pleas for mercy, and the whistling of swords echoed throughout the Ming family mansion.

He Zhongtian and the others felt a deep chill as they watched Fang Xuan slaughtering everyone.

This boy, this boy...

He is decisive and ruthless, like a god of war, yet his swordsmanship is as divine as a god's!
