The First Venerable of All Paths

"An invincible realm? What's that?"

Gu Xiao's words left everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.

Although I don't understand it, it sounds very impressive.

"The invincible realm is also known as the ultimate realm."

Manager Sun suddenly spoke, his tone also carrying a hint of surprise.

As the manager of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, he was well-informed and knew some martial arts secrets unknown to outsiders.

"Those who reach the pinnacle break through limits, elevate themselves, and are considered invincible."

Manager Sun looked at the white-clad youth in mid-air with a solemn expression.

"Those who reach the ultimate realm are invincible in that realm."

Steward Sun then looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "But this boy hasn't even reached the Divine Realm, so how can he fly? That shouldn't be possible."

Soon, Manager Sun seemed to have discovered something, his gaze fixed on the ball of green light at Fang Xuan's feet.

Because of the lighting and perspective, he didn't notice it at first.

Upon closer examination, Steward Sun discovered something amiss.

The cyan light sometimes condensed into the shape of a lotus flower, and sometimes transformed into a ball of cyan flame.

A blue flame that allows one to fly through the air?

Manager Sun frowned, frantically searching his mind for information on this matter.

No!

Absolutely not!

What exactly is this thing?

Manager Sun was inexplicably irritated.

Of course he didn't know.

This is due to the unique nature of the Azure Lotus Sword itself.

Unlike the Phoenix Cry Sword.

The Azure Lotus Sword was created by Fang Xuan by refining a ninth-grade Azure Lotus and subduing the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire.

The Azure Lotus Sword itself is a manifestation of the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire, and Fang Xuan achieved a connection between man and sword.

After breaking through to the second level of the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Ruins Technique", Fang Xuan's mastery of swordsmanship improved by several levels compared to before.

Therefore, with just a thought, the Azure Lotus Sword would transform into two orbs of azure light, helping him to fly through the air.

Unless their cultivation level and spiritual power far surpass his, no one can see through the true form of the Azure Lotus Sword if he is unwilling.

"No wonder, no wonder you were able to defeat the strong with the weak."

Gu Xiao stared intently at Fang Xuan, his killing intent growing stronger.

"No wonder even the combined forces of Elder Yan and Elder Gong are no match for you."

Gu Xiao said in a deep voice, "That's because you've stepped into the extreme realm more than once, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience shook.

Stepping into an extreme environment is an incredible opportunity.

But Fang Xuan, he actually stepped into the extreme realm multiple times?

This makes sense.

The Condensing Yuan Realm only made Fang Xuan invincible within the Condensing Yuan Realm.

However, it is absolutely impossible to overturn the understanding of martial arts, and to defeat the Divine Intent Realm with the cultivation of the Condensation Realm.

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"

Fang Xuan stood holding his gun, looking at Gu Xiao expressionlessly.

They neither admitted nor denied it.

"It's really not that great."

Gu Xiao said in a chilling tone, "Because this still doesn't change the fact that you are destined to die today."

The stronger Fang Xuan is, the less he should be allowed to live.

If they are allowed to escape, they will become a major threat to the Gu family within a few years.

This is something Gu Xiao cannot tolerate.

As for the young master, capturing Fang Xuan alive and taking him back for questioning was no longer within Gu Xiao's considerations.

Only by using absolute power to completely annihilate the opponent can we eliminate all future troubles!

"So, the only option is for you to die!"

Once he finished speaking, Gu Xiao no longer hesitated.

He raised his palm, and a blinding light exploded in his palm.

At the center of the light, there was a faint hint of darkness.

The black dot was initially only the size of a grain of rice, but in the next moment it swelled to a size of a hundred meters, engulfing Fang Xuan entirely.

Fang Xuan frowned.

He discovered that, being in the darkness, Fang Xuan could not sense the fluctuations of Yuan energy and spiritual energy from the outside world, and therefore had nothing to absorb to replenish his energy.

"This thing is like the realm of martial arts, but it's also different."

Fang Xuan looked surprised.

In the realm of martial arts, that is a heaven-defying ability that only experts at the Profound Realm can master.

Within this domain, all laws cannot penetrate it, and it is invincible.

The black canopy before him was not a martial arts domain, but it could still block external forces and even obscure Fang Xuan's five senses, weakening his combat power.

"It should be a kind of barrier created by imitating the martial arts field."

Fang Xuan's expression began to turn serious.

In that case, Gu Xiao would have to go for the kill.

"Boom!"

As Fang Xuan pondered, a hand carrying terrifying power descended from the black sky and grabbed at him.

Those five fingers, like pillars supporting the sky, sealed off Fang Xuan's surroundings, rendering him unable to move.

The fourth level of the Divine Intent Realm, coupled with this barrier, seemed to put immense pressure on Fang Xuan.

Fang Xuan showed no fear whatsoever.

By isolating itself from the absorption of external forces, the impact on Fang Xuan is actually not significant.

Fang Xuan held a long spear, channeling his power as he thrust it out.

"His spear strikes are as swift as a divine being!"

When it strikes, it's the most powerful shot.

The giant war spear ripped through the sky, aiming for the descending hand.

"Boom!"

As the two forces collided, the air rushed out of control.

However, this usually invincible strike had little effect against the spiritual energy palm.

"Snap!"

With a forceful grip, the giant war gun exploded.

The God-Slaying Spear flew back to Fang Xuan's hand at an extremely fast speed.

The force from the spear sent Fang Xuan staggering back a few steps, his gaze sharpening slightly.

This barrier seemed to be much more powerful than he had imagined.

"As expected of the Second Elder, the methods used to create this forbidden barrier are truly astonishing."

Seeing that Fang Xuan was no match for him, Steward Liang immediately showed a smug look on his face.

"So what if you're invincible?"

A murderous glint flashed in Guan Gongfeng's eyes as he sternly declared, "You are nothing before the Second Elder!"

"That's natural."

Elder Yan also flattered, "The Second Elder is at the fourth level of the Divine Intent Realm. This Forbidden Path Barrier is a powerful secret technique that he obtained by chance. With the two combined, its power is not just doubled."

"Fang Xuan, you little bastard!"

Below, Li Mozhan and Li Meng hid far away.

From the very beginning, Fang Xuan displayed his divine power and defeated Guan Yan and his companion, who were terrified.

Seeing that Fang Xuan was powerless to fight back against Gu Xiao, they became excited again.

"You dare ruin my Li family's plans? You'll die a horrible death!"

Li Mozhan hates Li Xintong, but she hates Fang Xuan even more.

All of this was caused by Fang Xuan's attempt to abduct the bride.

Li Meng was no less capable.

"You little beast, because of you, I lost my cultivation and almost lost my life."

Li Meng's face was contorted with rage as he cursed venomously.

"As long as you die, that rebellious daughter will marry into the Gu family, and I, Li Meng, will still be a man of high status!"

At that time, he will have that rebellious woman help him find elixirs to repair his martial meridians so that he can continue cultivating martial arts.

Everyone thought that Fang Xuan was doomed.

Only Steward Sun frowned deeply.

He always felt that things weren't that simple.

The young man named Fang Xuan always gave him a feeling of being unfathomable.

Fang Xuan, who was inside the forbidden passage barrier, had an icy expression.

Two flames burned wildly in his eyes.

"Azure Lotus Karmic Fire, emerge!"

With a clenched fist, a blue flame appeared in his palm.

Fang Xuan looked up and saw a chilling aura emanating from his body.

"Watch me break through your turtle shell!"

With a stomp of his foot, Fang Xuan burst forth, throwing a punch at the black barrier.

Behind him, in the void, a tall figure floated faintly, an emperor descending upon the world.

Killing Path King Fist, Summon True Spirit!

"Open it!"

Fang Xuan let out a cold shout and threw a punch.

The figure of the Goddess of Slaughter behind her also threw a punch, slamming it into the forbidden barrier.

"You think you can break through my forbidden barrier? What wishful thinking!"

In mid-air, Gu Xiao formed hand seals and frantically poured his power into the forbidden barrier to reinforce it.

The black barrier grew thicker and more solid, while simultaneously shrinking rapidly, attempting to trap Fang Xuan within it.

"Snap!"

A sudden cracking sound rang out.

Gu Xiao was startled and stared intently at the forbidden barrier, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

Because he saw that a hair-thin crack had appeared on the barrier of the forbidden passage.

An overwhelming, scorching power surged from the crack, instantly covering the entire forbidden passage barrier.

Like a fire engulfing Jinshan.

"Splash!"

A shattering sound resounded, and the entire barrier instantly shattered into pieces before vanishing into nothingness.

"How is that possible?"

Gu Xiao exclaimed in disbelief, "You actually managed to break my forbidden barrier?"

Is that strange?

Fang Xuan withdrew the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire, which bloomed and closed in his palm like an azure lotus, repeating endlessly in a mysterious and wondrous manner.

"That is..."

Suddenly, Steward Sun below shrieked, "It's the Azure Lotus Karmic Flame! How could you possibly possess the Azure Lotus Karmic Flame?"

That's the legendary heavenly fire!

Burn the heavens and earth, purify all realms.

Such sacred objects are actually in the hands of a young man who is not even twenty years old.

No wonder he had found it strange before.

It turned out that the blue light beneath Fang Xuan's feet was a manifestation of the Azure Lotus Karmic Fire.

"The Karmic Fire of the Azure Lotus?"

Everyone gasped in shock.

Someone actually managed to subdue the Heavenly Fire.

This opportunity made them so jealous that their eyes turned bloodshot, and they wished they could possess it for themselves.

"Fang Xuan!"

With the barrier to the forbidden path broken, Gu Xiao's face was ashen, and he said sternly, "I really underestimated you."

"Guan Yan and the other two retainers, along with Old Madam Li, let's make a move together."

Gu Xiao looked around and said coldly, "Today, we absolutely cannot let this little beast leave alive!"

Upon hearing this, the two retainers, Guan and Yan, were first taken aback, then their faces lit up with ecstatic joy.

So what if it's a fire from the sky?

With four experts at the Divine Realm joining forces, how could you possibly ascend to heaven?

Guan Yan and his companion moved without hesitation, each taking a different position to encircle Fang Xuan.

Then, a chilling aura swept up from not far away, transforming into a hunched and gaunt figure.

It was none other than Old Madam Li!

"You little beast, you've ruined the Li family's plans and jeopardized our future! Today, I will grind you to dust!"

As soon as Old Madam Li appeared, she looked at Fang Xuan with resentment in her eyes.

They looked as if they wanted to devour Fang Xuan alive.

Four powerful experts at the Divine Intent Realm surrounded Fang Xuan from four directions, locking him in place with their auras, giving him no chance to escape.

Faced with the attack of four people, Fang Xuan showed no fear whatsoever, which was unusual.

But the cold glint in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Four Divine Realm experts, what a grand display!"

Fang Xuan grinned, his killing intent palpable.

"But do you really think this will kill me?"

"You little bastard, still being stubborn even when you're about to die?"

With a fierce shout, Old Madam Li declared, "If I don't skin you alive today, I'll die a martyr for my cause!"

"To die a martyr? You old hag, you don't deserve that!"

Fang Xuan laughed and cursed, his body moving like a dragon fish, instantly appearing in front of Old Madam Li, and slapped her down with a raised hand.

"You old hag, take this slap!"
