Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

Chapter 693: Chapter 692: Emperor Realm Divine Technique VS Emperor Realm Divine Technique

Moonlight Flash.

The Death God appears.

The Celestial Moon Strike is unleashed.

The terrifying power contained within the strike instantly cut down the Seven Evils, who had just successfully merged, their aura soaring to a level nearly comparable to a Tier Two God King.

That terrifying moonlight was like a power capable of erasing everything.

Be it their physical bodies, their auras, or even their Divine Souls…

At this moment,

Everything turned to nothingness.

Only masterless clouds of Evil Qi remained, which were easily absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword.

In the entire Forbidden Fire Domain,

Only Yang Xiao’s figure remained.

At the same time,

the seven-colored divine light on his body flared again. The last vestiges of the Flame Power—less than a third of the original amount—were instantly absorbed by Yang Xiao.

Before everyone’s eyes, this Forbidden Land, this Land of Inheritance, this Land of Rebirth left behind by a Supreme Divine King…

Vanished.

The Heaven and Earth Origin Fire within Yang Xiao’s body finally began to swell once more.

His fifth Talent Power.

Was born.

“I succeeded!”

Yang Xiao thought to himself.

But his face showed no trace of joy.

Because he knew.

It wasn’t over yet.

The man who wanted to kill him…

Was still alive.

Instantly,

his gaze swept outward.

It fell upon Nangong Xinghui, who stood frozen in the void.

Although the man’s aura and appearance had changed…

Yang Xiao…

Knew.

This was the man who had tried to kill him time and again. If Yang Xiao hadn’t arrived in time to stop him, or if he hadn’t benefited from Yue Lingxi’s presence back then, he likely would have had to confront this man over a month ago. He might have even been forced to flee to the Star God Continent. And Yun’Er, whom he cared for most, would have probably been reduced to this man’s Furnace Cauldron.

All these overlapping layers of hatred…

Left Yang Xiao…

with only one emotion in his eyes.

Killing intent.

‘No, this is impossible! How can this bastard be so powerful? The treasure… right! It must be the sword in his hand! There’s something strange about that sword… It—it’s actually upgrading?’

Nangong Xinghui’s expression changed drastically.

If before he had clung to a sliver of hope, believing Yang Xiao would be weakened after that strike and pose no threat…

Then now,

his face was ashen as death.

After all, as a direct descendant of the Emperor Race—and the son of a Top-tier Emperor at that—his cultivation might not be high, but his knowledge was vast.

How could he not know that the only treasures capable of upgrading were either Innate Divine Artifacts or Lifebound Divine Artifacts?

Moreover,

even before it began upgrading, Yang Xiao had used this sword to slay his squad of Seven Evils.

So what would happen now that it was upgrading?

But understanding was one thing.

It was obviously impossible for a man like him to simply sit and wait for death.

‘Run! I have to get out of here first! Once I escape, I’ll let Big Bro deal with him. He’ll definitely thank me for it later.’

As the thought crossed Nangong Xinghui’s mind,

his body flickered as he tried to tear open the void.

Yet even now,

his mind was still concocting schemes to ensure Yang Xiao’s death.

However,

he had once again miscalculated.

In a flash,

a figure appeared.

Instantly blocking his path.

The figure wasn’t tall, but it was an impenetrable wall. At the same time, the Void Power that Nangong Xinghui had summoned was instantly dissipated without a trace.

This figure,

was naturally Yang Xiao.

He stared at Nangong Xinghui, his eyes filled with cold, murderous intent.

Nangong Xinghui, however, trembled in fear.

“You… you can’t kill me! I’m Nangong Xinghui! You should know who I am, right?”

As he spoke,

the very man who had gone to great lengths to disguise himself before arriving now dispelled his Breath Transformation Talisman, reverting to his true appearance.

And his true aura.

He did this because he knew.

If he hadn’t, the man before him would have genuinely played dumb and killed him on the spot.

When that time came, even if his father found out,

he might not punish Yang Xiao for it.

That was why, even now, he hadn’t tried to communicate with the Spirit Will the Star Emperor had left within him.

Instead, he planned to use his own identity to make Yang Xiao hesitate.

“Of course I know who you are. The third legitimate son of the Star Emperor. You’ve sent people to kill me time and again. How could I not know you?”

Seeing the state he was in, Yang Xiao actually laughed.

‘He’s at death’s door,’

‘and he’s trying to flash his identity?’

‘Does he really think I’d be scared?’

‘Of course not.’

Seeing Yang Xiao’s completely unfazed expression,

Nangong Xinghui’s heart sank into the abyss.

He grew even more hesitant to awaken the will the Star Emperor had left within him.

Because he felt…

that this bastard only dared to be so arrogant…

because he was relying on the Star Emperor—Nangong Xinghui’s own biased father.

If he were to summon his father’s will,

wouldn’t that just be seeking his own doom?

‘Looks like I have no choice but to fight. If I can kill this bastard, then even if that will inside him appears, it might not actually kill me. But if I can’t kill him… then I’m afraid death is my only option.’

Nangong Xinghui thought.

The courage that had vanished just a moment ago suddenly surged back.

Especially since…

he could sense that Yang Xiao’s aura hadn’t grown any stronger. It was still at Divine General Peak, the same as his own.

Meanwhile, the Divine Sword that had just slain the Seven Evils…

was in the middle of upgrading.

It was obviously unusable.

This was an absolutely perfect opportunity!

“If you insist on putting me to death, then you can go die first!”

With a furious roar,

Nangong Xinghui made his move.

He raised his hand and sent a palm strike flying toward Yang Xiao.

At the same time,

the aura around him skyrocketed.

All the acupoints in his body seemed to light up. Though he was clearly only at the Divine General Peak, his power in this moment surpassed that of a Tier Seven Divine Marquis.

He was nearly comparable to a Tier Eight Divine Venerable.

Clearly, the man was using an extremely terrifying Secret Technique, or perhaps one of the Divine Techniques.

‘An Emperor Realm Divine Technique?’

Yang Xiao raised an eyebrow.

He wasn’t the least bit surprised.

It would be a joke if the legitimate son of the Star Emperor didn’t have an Emperor Realm Divine Technique or two.

Furthermore, he could now sense a familiar energy pattern emanating from Nangong Xinghui.

It was a shadow of the Starburst Skill!

Evidently,

the Cultivation Technique this man was using was precisely the advanced version of the Starburst Skill that Yang Xiao had deduced earlier.

He didn’t know what kind of Divine Technique it was,

but it was undeniably powerful.

It was no weaker than the Flame Emperor Divine Fist, the Divine Technique he had used to achieve his Dao in his first life.

Unfortunately,

this man before him…

had not mastered it.

If he could wield it to its full potential, he would be at least ten times stronger.

At that point, forget being comparable to a Divine Venerable; he would have the power to contend with a Tier One God King.

It was just like Yang Xiao himself right now.

If he went all out, relying on his Divine General Talisman and pushing his Flame Emperor Divine Fist to the absolute limit of Perfection,

a Tier One God King…

would be absolutely no match for him.

Likewise,

even if he held back…

and couldn’t fight a Divine King,

the man before him…

was undoubtedly a dead man.

Therefore,

Yang Xiao didn’t hesitate.

He met the attack with a punch of his own.

Instantly,

two Emperor Realm Divine Techniques—and top-tier ones at that—

at this very moment,

collided with a thunderous BOOM.
