The First Venerable of All Paths

"Boom!"

Two figures collided violently in mid-air, like shooting stars.

The spiritual energies clashed, transforming into a powerful aftershock that swept outwards in all directions.

Several surrounding buildings were instantly destroyed and collapsed.

"Bang bang bang!"

Before the aftershocks of their spiritual energy could dissipate, the two figures charged at each other again, unleashing their powerful martial arts skills.

"Elder Fang, our cultivation levels are evenly matched, and neither of us can defeat the other."

Su Chongming laughed loudly, "Why don't we just stop here and avoid a lose-lose situation?"

"They've joined forces with the Blood Fiend Gang to destroy my Fang family and kill my young master. How can this be allowed to end?"

Fang Shanhai sneered, "Even if we both suffer heavy losses, I will still kill that bastard Su Chongshan!"

"Stubborn to the end!"

A flash of anger crossed Su Chongming's face: "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for not showing any mercy!"

"Old flame?"

Fang Shanhai laughed loudly, his voice full of sarcasm.

"Your Su family was nothing more than a dog raised by my Fang family back then. Relying on the favor of my young master, we helped your Su family become a first-class family in Qingyang County."

"You, Su Chongming, are heartless and treacherous. How dare you even mention those old feelings?"

As they spoke, Fang Shanhai unleashed several palm strikes, forcing Su Chongming to retreat.

"You old fool, you've really given me too much credit!"

Su Chongming could no longer contain his anger.

What Fang Shanhai said was a thorn in Su Chongming's side.

Now that Fang Shanhai had brought up this matter, Su Chongming was instantly enraged, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

"You're courting death, and I'll grant your wish today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chongming's aura surged dramatically.

His hands moved rapidly, forming hand seals.

The spiritual energy gathered and transformed into a crescent moon, hanging in the sky.

"Moon Wheel Slash?"

Upon seeing this, the Fang family members exclaimed in surprise.

This is the Su family's secret technique, the third-grade martial art, Moon Wheel Slash.

Its power is enough to destroy a mountain.

In the hands of a master at the Divine Realm, it can unleash unparalleled and terrifying power.

Fang Shanhai also had a solemn expression.

But they showed no fear whatsoever.

Just as Fang Shanhai was about to unleash his martial arts skills and determine the victor from Su Chongming.

The entire Qingyang County trembled violently.

Everyone was startled and turned to look in a certain direction.

In a certain part of the city, flames soared into the sky.

The powerful shockwave continued to spread outwards.

"That's... the direction of the Su family!"

Su Chongming's expression changed drastically: "Something's wrong! Something's happened to the Su family!"

Immediately, Su Chongming disregarded his fight with Fang Shanhai, grabbed Su Chongshan, and in a flash, leaped onto a wall.

"Elder Fang, let's call it a day and fight another day."

Su Chongming's gaze fell on Fang Xuan, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"You little beast, I'll let you live a little longer."

After saying that, Su Chongming left without lingering and quickly departed with Su Chongshan.

After Su Chongming left, the Fang family was silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous cheers.

"We won! We won!"

"The Grand Elder is mighty!"

"Young Master is mighty!"

Today is extremely dangerous.

The Fang family was so close to being expelled from the family register.

Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the Grand Elder emerged from seclusion.

Moreover, he successfully broke through to the Divine Realm.

All of this is thanks to Young Master Fang Xuan.

Looking at his tribesmen cheering with joy, Fang Xuan also smiled.

"elder brother!"

Fang Rou rushed over and, upon seeing Fang Xuan covered in blood, immediately burst into tears of heartache.

"Brother, how are you? Does it hurt?"

Fang Rou hugged Fang Xuan, her body trembling with fear.

"Little sister."

Despite being in excruciating pain all over his body, Fang Xuan forced a smile.

"Brother's alright, I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Fang Xuan's head lolled to the side, and he fainted.

"elder brother!"

Fang Rou let out a mournful cry, tears streaming down her face.

"Young Master!"

Fang Shanhai quickly appeared beside Fang Xuan and said, "Elders and clansmen whose injuries are not serious, continue to be on guard and repair the formation; those who are seriously injured, immediately receive medicine to heal them."

"With integrity, righteousness, and propriety, let's tally the casualties!"

"yes!"

Under Fang Shanhai's arrangement, the Fang family operated like a sophisticated machine, quickly cleaning up the mess.

"Let's go, take the young master back first!"

Fang Shanhai ordered his clansmen to take Fang Xuan back to the clan and place him on the bed.

"You may all leave."

Fang Shanhai said, "Next, I will heal the young master's injuries."

"yes!"

Fang Rou pleaded, "Grandpa Elder, can I stay here with my brother?"

"Girl, you can go out now."

Fang Shanhai laughed and said, "I guarantee that the young master will be fine."

Fang Rou resisted somewhat, holding Fang Xuan's hand tightly and unwilling to let go.

"Xiaorou, let's listen to Grandpa."

Fang Yurong comforted him, "Grandpa is a powerful expert at the Divine Intent Realm; he will definitely be able to cure Fang Xuan."

Fang Rou also knew what was important and what was urgent.

Knowing that staying wouldn't help at all, he stopped being stubborn and left the room with Fang Yurong.

As soon as the door was closed, Fang Shanhai suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

His divine cultivation level rapidly diminished.

His breath immediately became extremely weak.

seem.

His divine aura just now was all a facade.

Fang Shanhai didn't care about anything else and began to check Fang Xuan's injuries.

However, the moment Fang Shanhai's fingers touched Fang Xuan's wrist, they jerked back as if electrocuted.

My finger was cut, and blood was gushing out.

"What domineering sword energy!"

Although he forced himself out of seclusion, he failed to completely break through to the Divine Realm.

However, his Yuan Power had already begun to merge with his divine soul.

Spiritual energy has also been generated within the dantian.

Even a peak-level expert in the Qi Condensation Realm could not harm him in the slightest.

Even while Fang Xuan was unconscious, he managed to injure Fang Shanhai and cause him to bleed with just a single sword strike.

This left Fang Shanhai utterly shocked.

However, the sword energy within Fang Xuan's body was like a wild horse, running rampant and frantically damaging Fang Xuan's meridians and internal organs.

However, there was another force within Fang Xuan's body that continuously suppressed these sword energies, preventing them from causing trouble.

At the same time, it released a rich vitality, repairing Fang Xuan's damaged meridians and internal organs.

Fang Shanhai naturally had no idea.

This power is none other than Fang Xuan's Chaos Sacred Body.

The origin of chaos inherently possesses the power of immortality and indestructibility.

Although Fang Xuan is still very weak and unable to fully grasp the power of the Chaos Origin.

However, repairing the injury is not difficult.

Fang Shanhai also noticed this and breathed a sigh of relief.

For the Fang family today, Fang Xuan is their hope.

Given enough time, he can lead the Fang family to grow stronger step by step, becoming a massive family comparable to those with a thousand-year history.

of course.

The Fang family is now facing considerable challenges.

The Su family!

Blood Fiend Gang!

And... the Dao Seeking Sect!

Seeing Fang Xuan unconscious, Fang Shanhai took a deep breath, suppressed his weakness, and pushed open the door to go out.

"Grandpa Elder, how is my brother?"

Fang Rou rushed forward, looking anxious.

Fang Yurong also looked worried.

"Don't worry, young master is fine."

Fang Shanhai said with a smile, "It's just that the young master has exhausted too much energy today and has just taken some pills. He may need to rest for a few days before he wakes up."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fang Rou was so happy that she cried tears of joy.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Fang Shanhai said, "Alright, everyone go and rest first. We'll discuss everything after the young master wakes up."

"yes!"

......

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Sword energy crisscrossed the heavens and earth.

One after another, swords of different shapes, but all exuding a chilling aura, darted through the air.

Clear sword marks were left throughout the void.

At a glance.

Swords were everywhere, in all directions.

Like an ocean of swords.

"Where is this place?"

In the sea of ​​swords, there is an isolated island formed by various long swords. Fang Xuan looked at the long swords flying around in the air, his face full of doubt.

"This is the Sword Ruins, also known as the Great Void Sword Sea."

In the void, a clear, cold, aloof, and majestic female voice rang out.

next moment.

Within the sea of ​​swords, a colossal sword, reaching to the heavens and standing tall, suddenly rose from the sea of ​​swords.

A woman dressed in a black sword robe sat cross-legged on the hilt of a sword.

Whether it was because of the distance or because the other party used some method, Fang Xuan could not see the other party's appearance clearly.

But his whole being exuded a chilling sword intent.

Its appearance immediately caused a cacophony of swords, a sea of ​​swords rising and falling.

But Fang Xuan recognized at a glance that the other party was the Sword Void Empress who had taught him the "Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Void Technique".

"Junior Fang Xuan greets Empress Sword Ruins!"

Fang Xuan quickly bowed in greeting.

I also learned that my presence here was orchestrated by the other party.

"Let's skip these formalities."

The Sword Ruins Empress's voice was cold and sharp, like a sword.

"Although you have inherited my legacy, it is not enough to become a sword cultivator."

The Sword Ruins Empress's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"Then what should this junior do?"

Fang Xuan was not surprised, and continued to ask respectfully.

"Refine the void and forge the sword bone."

The Sword Ruins Empress made a gesture with her jade hand.

The world was instantly filled with hundreds of millions of sharp swords.

Like an army arrayed in battle formation, the swords exuded a chilling aura.

"These are all transformed from the primordial sword energy within the Sword Ruins."

The Sword Ruins Empress continued, "As long as you can refine them all, the Sword Bone can be formed."

"Only by forging sword bones and becoming a sword cultivator can one wield innate sword energy."

The Sword Ruins Empress's tone carried an innate arrogance.

"Only then are they qualified to inherit my legacy."

With each word spoken by the Sword Ruins Empress, Fang Xuan's expression of shock deepened.

In the end, Fang Xuan was completely stunned, as if struck by lightning.

With so much sword intent, when will he be able to refine it all and cultivate sword bones?

"that......."

Fang Xuan asked hesitantly, "Your Majesty, do you have a method for refining it?"

"no."

The Sword Ruins Empress said bluntly, "Furthermore, you only have one chance to refine it. If you fail..."

"What will happen?"

"The soul is scattered, the body dies, and the Dao dissipates."

Fang Xuan swallowed hard.

Soul scattered and spirit dispersed?

Death and the annihilation of one's spiritual path?

That's too cruel!

"Your Majesty, I..."

Before Fang Xuan could finish speaking, the Sword Ruins Empress vanished.

The sword intent filled the sky like a celestial river flowing backward, sweeping over Fang Xuan in an overwhelming manner.

"I'm ￥#%......."

Upon seeing this, Fang Xuan was so frightened that he burst into curses.

but.

Fang Xuan did not dodge, nor could he dodge.

He immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and formed a mudra with his hands.

A burst of purple energy erupted from his body.

Chaotic Holy Body, activated.

The origin of chaos, blossoming.

Looking at the overwhelming sword intent sweeping across the sky, Fang Xuan remained calm, his hand seals changing.

"From the origin of chaos, all things evolve."
