Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan felt dizzy and almost fainted. His attack, which had gathered almost all his strength, was only this powerful?! This was too ridiculous!

Chapter 464 Earthquake in the Spiritual World

Celestial Vision: The Beginning of the End!

This Heavenly Eye fighting technique was something Xiao Xuanyuan had only recently comprehended. Previously, his Heavenly Vision Divine Eye only had the function of spying on "identity," and this seemingly useless fighting technique had actually helped Xiao Xuanyuan a lot in many ways.

Not only that, the Heavenly Vision Divine Eye also has the function of finding long-lost treasures, just like a heavenly eye. No matter what level or quality of the item is placed in Xiao Xuanyuan's possession, he can see through its essence directly. It is incredibly effective and never fails.

Among them, the "Gravity Combat Technique" was a treasured combat technique that Xiao Xuanyuan pulled out from a stall in his own market, and the ancient combat technique Reincarnation Ancient Technique was the same.

These two exceptional fighting techniques provided him with tremendous assistance.

Xiao Xuanyuan was not yet proficient in the newly comprehended "Heavenly Vision: The Beginning of the End," or even fully mastered it. However, he had reached a dead end and had no choice but to use it.

What he really didn't expect was that at first glance, the power of "Heavenly Vision: The Beginning of the End" seemed quite strong. When it shot out that extremely dark black beam of light, the surrounding space seemed to be distorted and swallowed up, even the light itself.

Moreover, all the spiritual energy in the surrounding space was instantly devoured, creating a brief vacuum. Xiao Xuanyuan's soul perception could not sense the existence of any spiritual energy in the world, not even the extremely abundant fire-attribute spiritual energy in this world. Within a radius of a hundred feet, it was completely empty.

Furthermore, due to its lack of skill and rather clumsy execution, the fire fighting spirit that Xiao Xuanyuan had just recovered was completely devoured, leaving his meridians and dantian completely barren, without a trace of fire fighting spirit. If Hei Sha hadn't held him just now, Xiao Xuanyuan would definitely have fallen from the sky.

This attack drained Xiao Xuanyuan's body of every last trace of fire fighting energy and extracted most of his soul energy. He almost fainted because he couldn't supply such a huge amount of energy during the attack. Finally, at this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan barely bit his tongue to wake up. He burned several mouthfuls of essence blood before he could barely manage to unleash the clumsy "Heavenly Vision Divine Eye: The Beginning of the End".

Unexpectedly, the result was disappointing. The extremely dark black beam of light only pierced through the enormous, towering, illusory world of flames, leaving a hole the size of a fist. That was all!

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan's face was as pale as paper, his body swaying precariously. His Purple Cloud Wings, lacking the support of fire-attribute spiritual energy, had lost their dreamlike colorful luster and drooped limply. If it weren't for the powerful regenerative abilities of the Burning Technique, which was slowly circulating and absorbing the scarce fire-attribute spiritual energy drifting from the distant void, Xiao Xuanyuan would likely have fallen into a deep coma due to exhaustion.

The enormous, phantom world of flames continued to descend from the sky with immense, terrifying pressure, slowly crushing down on Xiao Xuanyuan's head, bringing with it the shadow and pressure of death, and finally drawing its conclusion.

Is that all?

Xiao Xuanyuan murmured, his voice trembling slightly, his dim eyes filled with extreme resentment and anger, "No! I will never..."

Since his rebirth, even with the constant protection and support of the old doctor, Xiao Xuanyuan has never slacked off in his cultivation. Back in the Xiao family in Wutan City, he always demanded to train himself to the extreme, and sometimes even asked the old doctor to increase the intensity. This shows that he has a fighting spirit that refuses to be idle and a fighting will that refuses to fall behind.

He wasn't an exceptionally gifted prodigy, nor was he a direct descendant of one of the seven top families of the Central Continent. During his growth, he lacked any abundant high-quality cultivation resources or the protection of powerful figures...

He wasn't like Xiao Yan, a child of destiny who was born with his mother's heirloom, the "finger ring," and thus had the protection and guidance of the powerful Yao Lao within the ring, ensuring his growth. Moreover, Xiao Yan, burdened with countless opportunities and fortunes, was practically defying the heavens; otherwise, he wouldn't have ultimately grown into the most powerful Dou Di in the history of the Dou Qi Continent, ultimately annihilating the strongest member of the Soul Clan, the Soul Emperor. Xiao Xuanyuan had none of all of this…

All Xiao Xuanyuan had was a grandfather who held a certain position in the Xiao family, and his parents had long since passed away. He also had two younger brothers who were younger than him. Without any means or luck to his name, he could only rely on plundering everything.

To embark on the path to becoming a Dou Di amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he challenged Xiao Yan countless times, all for the ring on Xiao Yan's body and for the existence of Yao Lao. But that was not enough. He had to be stronger, even stronger, so that he could protect the Xiao family of Wutan City who gave him birth and raised him!

The path of cultivation is lonely, painful, tedious, and long, but Xiao Xuanyuan didn't care. He was walking a path that might never lead to the other shore, risking his life countless times, breaking through his limits countless times, and becoming stronger and stronger. All of this was because he had a passionate, pounding, crimson heart, and an indomitable, fearless fighting spirit...

Memories of countless brushes with death, of constantly pushing himself to the limit, of countless times bleeding and wounded, flooded back. Then, a voice appeared in Xiao Xuanyuan's mind.

"I want to become stronger, much stronger..."

At first, the sound was very soft, but then it grew louder and louder, reverberating throughout his entire mind...

In the mind, which seems to have no end in sight, there is an endless blue ocean with a blood-red crimson moon hanging in the sky, filled with an eerie and bewitching beauty that shines on the entire spiritual world, creating a hazy and mysterious beauty.

In the heart of this vast spiritual sea, a solitary island, roughly a hundred feet in circumference, stands alone. Surrounded by birdsong and fragrant flowers, it is covered with a variety of green and red vegetation, resembling an undisturbed paradise.

In the very center of the island stands a colossal pillar that reaches the sky and touches the earth. The pillar is surrounded by cliffs and jagged rocks, but in the middle of the massive pillar, there is a thick, dark iron chain as thick as a water bucket. A figure that looks extremely delicate and whose clothes are tattered is firmly bound to the pillar by this thick, dark iron chain.

This woman was beautiful and charming, like a celestial being. But at this moment, her beautiful eyes were empty, staring blankly at the distant sea. Her hair, which had been tied up, was now extremely disheveled and hanging down, making her look extremely miserable. However, this could not hide her celestial beauty at all. Her skin was as smooth as jade, which made people feel a sense of pity and tenderness.

This celestial woman was none other than the "Nightmare Queen" who had been suppressed and bound in Xiao Xuanyuan's mind by his entire spiritual power!

The celestial woman remained in this listless, absent-minded state, but suddenly, her entire spiritual world shook violently, the sea roared, and countless monstrous waves surged, blotting out the sky and creating a scene of apocalypse, as if the blood-red demonic moon hanging in the sky was about to fall from the heavens.

The entire island trembled violently, and the towering pillars rumbled, pulling the celestial woman back to reality from her dazed state.

"What's going on?" The celestial woman's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion and doubt, but suddenly, as if she had thought of something, her voice carried a hint of surprise, "Could it be that the boy is suffering from severe external injuries...? Then wouldn't my escape be just around the corner?"

Chapter 465 Self-created Battle Technique: Battle Intent Greatsword, I Defy the Heavens with Blood

The entire spiritual world was shaken, creating a huge upheaval, but this did not last long before it subsided, leaving only the traces of seawater that had been washed ashore on the island.

On the towering pillar, a glimmer of hope had just risen in the Nightmare Queen's beautiful eyes at the prospect of breaking free from the Soul-Locking Chains, but as her mental state gradually calmed down, she couldn't help but gradually reveal a look of disappointment.

"Is it possible that I am truly unable to break free from these damned iron chains?!"

As if in a fit of pique, the Nightmare Queen unleashed her immense soul power, her jade-like hands gripping the thick iron chains that bound her delicate body, twisting them violently. However, these soul-locking chains were not only as thick as buckets, but also incredibly long. They coiled around and locked the towering pillar halfway up the mountain, extending all the way down into the seawater surrounding the island. The gaze followed the thick iron chains downwards, immersing itself in the vast ocean floor, stretching endlessly until it reached the bottom of the abyss tens of thousands of meters below the surface of this immense ocean world.

Once you arrive here, even light cannot reach you; it's pitch black, and the immense pressure of the seawater is something even a nine-star Grand Master would find unbearable.

The existence of this long and thick soul-locking chain means that even powerful soul messengers, as bizarre as the Nightmare Queen who can enter a cultivator's nightmare at any time, can only be trapped, with no way or hope of escape.

The Nightmare Queen struggled desperately to break free of the Soul-Locking Iron Chains, but the dark iron chains, forged from Xiao Xuanyuan's powerful soul energy and countless soul restrictions, were not so easy to break free of.

She struggled for a long time, her fair hands and body covered in blood, but she still couldn't win. In the end, the Nightmare Queen could only sigh helplessly and give up resisting.

She only suffered superficial injuries to her soul. Under the automatic envelopment of her incredibly powerful soul energy, the injuries stopped bleeding, healed, and she returned to full health.

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan was outside, full of fighting spirit, constantly resisting the magma fire dragons and hurricanes that were closing in from all sides.

After a long time, the spiritual world was shaken again, with waves crashing up. This time, the tremor was much more intense than the last one, and seawater surged in, almost submerging the entire central island.

But the Nightmare Queen struggled for a long time, yet still failed.

Outside, when Xiao Xuanyuan had exhausted all his moves and countless ultimate techniques had depleted all the fire energy in his body, he still could not withstand the slowly crushing phantom world of flames above his head. At that moment, the fierce fighting spirit in his heart that was about to be extinguished was finally ignited.

"Are we cowards?! If we cannot win, then we will die in battle!"

Xiao Xuanyuan let out a long roar, and the battle intent within him surged rapidly at a visible speed. If he was a dull gemstone just now, he was now like a sharp giant sword drawn from its sheath. This battle intent had transformed from nothingness into reality. Centered on Xiao Xuanyuan, a giant sword, solid as a substance, rose into the sky and continued to expand. In an instant, Xiao Xuanyuan disappeared from his original spot, leaving only a towering giant sword standing majestically in mid-air.

"With my battle intent transformed into a giant sword, I will cleave through the nine heavens of the world!"

With a furious roar that pierced the sky, the colossal sword instantly moved, shooting straight up into the heavens and slashing towards the illusory world of flames that was crushing down from the sky.

"A self-created fighting technique?"

High in the distant sky, Chen Ya watched this almost overwhelming baptism with her beautiful eyes. She really didn't expect that the trial participant who inherited her father's technique, the Burning Technique, was becoming more and more unfathomable to her. Not only did he possess a constant stream of powerful combat techniques that were dazzling and eye-catching, even making her envious, but he also had an opportunity that all cultivators envied.

Even so, it might not have been enough to truly move Chen Ya. But this newcomer was creating a new fighting technique right before her eyes—a fighting technique unlike any she had ever heard of before! In any case, this powerful fighting technique, which used fighting spirit as its catalyst and energy source, was simply unheard of.

Even in the distant era when Chen Ya and her father, Emperor Tuoshe, lived, she had never seen such a powerful fighting technique with battle intent as its core energy. Now, Xiao Xuanyuan was beyond all her comprehension.

"This child is exceptionally gifted and a rare talent. If he can continue to grow, he may achieve even greater success in the future, reaching the same level as his father..."

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Chen Ya's mind.

……

The giant sword formed from Xiao Xuanyuan's battle intent, carrying a sharp sword intent that reached the heavens, as well as his indomitable and unyielding fighting spirit, charged towards the vast and incomparably fiery illusory world.

"If Heaven opposes me and tries to destroy me, even if I die in battle, I will stain the heavens with my defiant blood!"

A furious fighting spirit roared, an indomitable soul trembled, and a blood-red heart pounded wildly with resentment…

The Greatsword of Battle Spirit slashed fiercely at the enormous phantom world of flames. The void itself seemed to shatter from the blow, accompanied by a deafening roar and ripples that pierced through space, before crashing down upon the overwhelming phantom world of flames.

"Even if you create your own powerful battle techniques, so what? Faced with such an overwhelming gap in strength, everything is but an ant!"

Seeing this, Chen Ya's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of great appreciation, but her slender hands were still moving quickly, forming various hand seals.

"Lord of Heaven and Earth Fire, incinerate all things! In my name, revolve the world, and condense!"

As Chen Ya let out a soft shout, the previously illusory phantom world of flames suddenly revealed its substantial form. Twenty-three different flames swirled and soared into the sky, incinerating everything in the surrounding void, including air, spiritual energy, and even the spatial and temporal laws of that spacetime. Everything seemed to be intensely burned and refined.

The moment the two collided, a devastating energy storm erupted, its aftershocks sweeping across all directions, stirring up waves and causing countless magma dragons, heavenly pillars, and hurricanes to turn to ashes.

"Twenty-three different kinds of strange flames?! How is that possible?!"

From within the colossal sword came Xiao Xuanyuan's furious, bewildered, and incredulous voice. But after this roar, the sharp giant sword, formed from Xiao Xuanyuan's entire fighting spirit, began to shatter inch by inch, starting from its blade, and the shattering continued throughout the entire sword.

Crackle! Crackle...

At the same time, the already materialized phantom flame world was also cut in half by this giant sword. Of the twenty-three kinds of strange flames, apart from the volcanic stone flame and the wind rage dragon flame, a total of five or six phantom strange flames were extinguished and disappeared.

"It's all in vain! Annihilate!"

Chen Ya uttered a soft shout, and the enormous, materialized phantom world of flames continued to crush down, completely shattering the last bit of stubborn resistance of the Battle Intent Greatsword. Amidst a series of "booming" explosions, the entire Battle Intent Greatsword instantly turned into ashes.

Chapter 466 Xiao Xuanyuan's Death

"It's all in vain! Annihilate!"

With a soft shout from Chen Ya, the giant sword of battle intent that Xiao Xuanyuan had transformed into instantly crumbled and turned to ashes. Without the support of the giant sword of battle intent, he was instantly exposed, and an enormous, materialized phantom world of flames crashed down on him.

At this point, Xiao Xuanyuan had exhausted all his tricks. Not only had he used up all his powerful fighting techniques, but his fire fighting energy was also completely depleted. His newly created battle intent greatsword, which he had just begun to comprehend, was shattered. All that remained to protect him was his damaged strange fire armor!

However, even though it was already mostly damaged, the enormous, materialized phantom world of flames was still a formidable force, with more than ten of the twenty-three different flames still swirling around it.

Faced with such a powerful top-tier Heaven-rank combat technique, especially one unleashed by Chen Ya, the guardian of the third-level Divine Medicine Pavilion from an ancient era hundreds of thousands of years ago, Xiao Xuanyuan was still too inexperienced.

Boom!

Boom!

The massive, materialized phantom world of flames crashed down, instantly deforming the strange fire armor condensed from the three different flames. The incomparably powerful flames tried to burn outwards, but were fiercely squeezed inwards by the materialized phantom world of flames, forcing Xiao Xuanyuan's body to emit a crackling sound of intense compression.

"what!"

Xiao Xuanyuan let out a miserable scream as the strange fire armor covering his body shattered completely inward, finally turning into its fiery form and being squeezed into his own body...

At the same time, along with the shattering of the Battle Sword, a storm like the end of the world also swept through Xiao Xuanyuan's mental world. The seawater surged back, the sky spun, and the entire mental world seemed to turn upside down. The island with the towering pillar was like a magnitude 9 earthquake, with countless boulders falling from the top of the pillar and crashing down with a rumbling sound.

As the entire spiritual world was engulfed in a storm and turned upside down, the thick, dark iron chains binding the Nightmare Queen's body rattled and swayed in the stormy sea.

"An opportunity has arrived?!"

Having already experienced this situation twice, the Nightmare Queen was still somewhat dazed and unsure if she could break free. However, when she realized that this situation seemed even more intense and violent than the previous two mental storms, she gritted her teeth and decided to try again, even though she had already consumed a significant amount of her soul's energy.

"Nightmare power, all things come to life, in the name of my king, I will turn all beings upside down..."

The Nightmare Queen formed hand seals, and countless purplish-black soul energies surged forth from her body, continuously coalescing in front of her through her jade-like hands into a massive purplish-black crystal sphere over three zhang tall. Countless purple and black gases swirled within, and countless images of sentient beings appeared and shifted endlessly. Among them was the figure of Xiao Xuanyuan. A rather youthful figure stood tall and straight, with twenty-three different kinds of strange flames constantly swirling above and around his head. He stood majestically in the sky, exuding a chilling aura…

There was also the figure of the Flower Fairy from the Alchemy Valley, holding a newborn baby who was nestled happily in the arms of a young man. The young man's appearance was none other than Xiao Xuanyuan...

All things in heaven and earth have nightmares, desires, and fantasies; all of these are the root of the seven emotions and six desires, which cannot be severed... This is the source of the Nightmare Queen's powerful strength...

Once she sets her sights on someone, she has already planted the seed of nightmares in that person's mind, and all their desires and fantasies will be unable to escape her control...
