The First Venerable of All Paths

"Perfect martial arts techniques, and two of them at that!"

Exclamations erupted across the square, filled with shock and horror.

There are many martial artists in the world, and there is no shortage of those with exceptional talent.

However, very few people can cultivate martial arts to a perfect level and condense the true meaning of martial arts.

Not to mention someone like Fang Xuan, who has cultivated two martial arts to a perfect level and can use them simultaneously.

This is absolutely incredible.

"Elder Zhao, should we stop him?"

Beside Zhao Kou, an elder from the Dao Seeking Sect said in a deep voice, "I'm worried that the Holy Son might..."

"What?"

Zhao Kou gave him a cold glance and said, "Do you think Cang'er is inferior to that little beast?"

No, no.

The elder waved his hands repeatedly and said, "The Holy Son's strength is beyond doubt; I was just being nosy."

Don't worry.

Zhao Kou's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said in a chilling tone, "It's just the true essence of martial arts. It's not like only that little beast can cultivate it."

"Elder Zhao, you mean...?"

The elder was taken aback, but before he could finish speaking, a deafening sound swept across the heavens and earth again, making everyone's hearts pound with fear.

"Boom!"

Everyone looked up, their eyes widening in disbelief.

Because the innate Dao seal that was pressing down was actually blocked by the two majestic figures with their fist energy, preventing it from falling even a fraction of an inch.

"It actually blocked it!"

"That's an innate Dao body! He actually did it."

"Is this the true essence of martial arts? It's terrifying!"

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Fang Xuan's strength was beyond their expectations.

Despite Zhao Qingcang having already used his innate Dao body and unleashed a powerful secret technique, he not only failed to kill Fang Xuan, but was even blocked by him.

Is it really possible for this guy to defeat Zhao Qingcang?

"Snap!"

While everyone was shocked, two cracks appeared on the enormous innate seal.

Cracks spread throughout the entire seal.

The seal exploded on the spot the next moment.

"No!"

Countless disciples of the Dao Seeking Sect wore expressions of despair and looked gloomy.

The breaking of the Innate Dao Seal means that Zhao Shengzi has been defeated, and defeated utterly.

Many elders also looked grim.

Zhao Qingcang's defeat made the entire Dao Seeking Sect a laughing stock.

Just when they thought Zhao Qingcang's defeat was inevitable, thick bolts of lightning suddenly burst forth from the exploded seal.

The lightning bolts surged like snakes, unleashing a destructive and violent aura.

These bolts of lightning, as if drawn together, converged in one place.

It's Zhao Qingcang!

At this moment, Zhao Qingcang's body was surrounded by Dao patterns, and the Dao seal between his brows released supreme divine power.

He was surrounded by hundreds and thousands of bolts of lightning from all directions, making him look like a thunder god descending.

"Fang Xuan, do you think this is the end?"

Lightning flashed in Zhao Qingcang's eyes, and his aura surged infinitely.

"No, this is the killer move I've carefully prepared for you!"

Zhao Qingcang's voice concealed a hint of barely hidden excitement and killing intent.

"For me, the winner of this battle from beginning to end is me, Zhao Qingcang!"

As the sound faded, streaks of lightning swirled and coalesced into a colossal figure entwined with thunder in the heavens and earth.

Thunder roared, shaking the heavens.

"What is this? Is Thor descending to earth?"

"It's not Thor descending to earth, it's the true spirit of martial arts condensed from the true essence of martial arts!"

"My God, this Martial Arts True Spirit is terrifying!"

Everyone trembled, utterly shocked.

"good!"

On the high platform, Zhao Kou slapped his chair and laughed, his expression excited: "Cang'er truly lives up to his reputation as the Holy Son of my sect, the Qilin of the Zhao family! He has indeed not disappointed me!"

All the sect elders were also excited, their bodies trembling with excitement.

They knew what that thunderous figure represented.

"Fang Xuan, you can die without regrets from this attack."

Zhao Qingcang stood like a thunder god, raising his arm and striking Fang Xuan with a palm.

The figure of Thor also raised his arm, condensing a thunderous hand, and pressed it down fiercely towards Fang Xuan.

"Five Thunder Transformation Technique!"

"The Holy Son has truly cultivated this martial art to its peak!"

"Hahaha, the Holy Son is destined to win!"

While the disciples cheered, Qi Changfeng was equally shocked.

"The Five Thunder Transformation Technique, when cultivated to its perfect state, condenses a martial spirit that possesses a portion of the Thunder Lord's power—it's actually true!"

He had practiced this martial art for many years, but he had only reached the level of perfection.

Compared to the realm of true martial arts intent, it is simply not worth mentioning.

The thunderous hand in mid-air contained the power of the Thunder Lord.

Even a wisp of residual energy could destroy him completely, leaving not even ashes behind.

Not to mention, Fang Xuan was facing a complete giant hand of thunder.

"As expected, the Holy Son is the strongest."

Qi Changfeng's feelings were both excited and complicated.

From his perspective, he naturally hoped that Zhao Qingcang would win.

But from a moral standpoint, he felt it was a great pity that Fang Xuan had died like this.

"If anyone's to blame, it's you who shouldn't have come."

In fact, it's not just him; many people have the same mentality.

This feeling intensified, especially when they learned that Zhao Qingcang's innate Dao body was taken from Fang Xuan.

"Are we still going to lose?"

Jia Lian looked at the giant, thunderous hand that came crashing down from nowhere, a hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

"It seems that this matter can only be considered in the long run."

They had hoped that by helping Fang Xuan, they could suppress the arrogance of Zhao Kou's faction and gain more opportunities for them.

But in the current situation, Fang Xuan is still too weak.

"What a pity."

What he regretted was not that Fang Xuan would die, but that his plan could not be successfully completed.

The lightning bolt swept in, whipping up gusts of wind.

Fang Xuan, dressed in white, danced wildly, showing no fear whatsoever on his face.

Zhao Qingcang's attack was not only the power of the Five Thunder Transformation Hand, but also contained the Daoist charm of the Innate Dao Body.

It can be said that even a powerhouse at the fourth or even fifth level of the Divine Intent Realm would surely die in the face of such a terrifying attack.

Even someone at the sixth level of the Divine Realm will suffer severe damage.

This was Zhao Qingcang's final strike, a blow he was determined to deliver to kill Fang Xuan.

however,

"Is this your trump card that you're so proud of? It's decent, but not enough to kill me!"

Fang Xuan quickly formed hand seals, and twenty-eight chaotic golden patterns swirled wildly around his body.

"Come!"

Fang Xuan let out a low shout, neither dodging nor avoiding, standing still and waiting for the giant thunder hand to fall.

"What is he doing?"

"Is he going to take Zhao Shengzi's attack head-on?"

"Take that hit head-on? Are you crazy!"

"He's not crazy, I think he's just scared out of his wits!"

Under countless gazes, the giant thunder hand, carrying the power to destroy everything, slammed down on Fang Xuan, engulfing and devouring him.

"Knock knock knock!"

A violent force exploded across the square.

The solid ground was destroyed, and powerful shockwaves swept outwards.

With a wave of his hand, Zhao Kou unleashed his spiritual power, which transformed into a spiritual barrier that enveloped the center of the explosion, preventing it from spreading and affecting those around it.

Only within that barrier, the ceaseless, raging thunder and Fang Xuan, engulfed by destructive power, remained.

Qi Xuanlin's eyes sharpened.

What is this little guy doing?

She could clearly sense that Fang Xuan could have dodged, but instead chose to take the hit head-on.

The veiled woman sat up straight, and the sound of swords clanging seemed to emanate from her body.

Qi Xuanlin's mind stirred, and he turned to look at the masked woman again.

What's wrong with her good disciple today?

I was unable to control my emotions several times in a row.

Could it be that... she really knows that young man named Fang Xuan?

If that's the case, shouldn't she, as the master, step in and save that kid?

Let's see. If that kid can withstand this attack, then it's worth her intervention.

If we can't hold on, there's no need to intervene.

At the epicenter of the explosion, thunder roared and surged.

It took more than a dozen breaths before it gradually calmed down.

The once smooth and hard ground was now dilapidated, with charred marks everywhere from the devastation caused by lightning.

Especially in the center, a huge crater several meters deep suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

As for Fang Xuan's figure, he had vanished without a trace.

"Is he really dead?"

"Zhao Shengzi's attack was enough to kill a fifth-level Divine Intent Realm expert. How could Fang Xuan have survived? He must have been utterly annihilated!"

"That's right. Fang Xuan can die without regrets for being able to push Zhao Shengzi to this extent."

Many disciples and elders started celebrating on the spot, and the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed and joyful.

Despite the enthusiastic atmosphere, Zhao Qingcang couldn't feel happy.

For some reason, he always felt that he had overlooked something.

With a thought, Zhao Qingcang raised his hand and waved it, completely sweeping away the remaining smoke and dust above the pit.

The next moment, Zhao Qingcang's pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw it.

At the bottom of that deep pit, a golden light stood tall, condensing into the shape of a golden bell.

Fang Xuan, whose face was slightly pale, sat cross-legged in the golden bell with a calm expression.

Just as he looked over, Fang Xuan happened to raise his gaze and meet his eyes.

Fang Xuan, he's not dead!

"How is that possible!"

Zhao Qingcang's face twisted in anger as he exclaimed, "How could you possibly still be alive?!"

Zhao Qingcang's roar immediately brought the cheering and celebrating atmosphere to a halt.

They looked at the furious Zhao Qingcang, somewhat puzzled.

Then, a collective gasp of astonishment filled the air.

Because a golden light leaped out of the deep pit and crashed heavily to the ground with a deafening roar.

The golden bell dissipated, revealing Fang Xuan's figure.

"Fang Xuan?!"

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

Is this guy even human?

Zhao Qingcang's terrifying and powerful attack failed to kill him.

Moreover, judging from Fang Xuan's appearance, he was full of energy and vitality, showing no signs of having just fought a great battle.

"Crackling and popping!"

Fang Xuan stretched his limbs and then grinned at Zhao Qingcang.

"Zhao Qingcang, your trump card is actually quite weak."

Fang Xuan clenched his fist and said, "You're only good enough to tickle me."

Even Fang Xuan underestimated the power of the Chaos Sacred Body.

Zhao Qingcang's terrifying attack not only failed to harm him in the slightest, but also indirectly helped Fang Xuan temper his physique because it contained a trace of thunderous origin.

Even the Chaos Golden Bell is now superfluous.

"Fang Xuan, you've gone too far!"

Zhao Qingcang's face twisted into a hideous grimace, and the Dao seal between his brows released a terrifying fluctuation that sent chills down one's spine.

"Today, I will definitely kill you!"

Zhao Qingcang rapidly formed hand seals, and the Dao patterns around his body swirled wildly, transforming into a giant Dao pattern spear.

Lightning flashed across the giant spear.

"Die!"

Zhao Qingcang roared and unleashed his Dao-patterned Thunder Spear, thrusting menacingly towards Fang Xuan.

"Still have the capacity?"

A cold glint flashed in Fang Xuan's eyes: "Then I will destroy you completely."

After saying that, Fang Xuan opened his brow, revealing a gray vertical pupil.

"The Heavenly Eye of Desolate Calamity, activated!"
