In ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍the next instant, a heaven-shaking roar erupted within the void.

Gu ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Yan and Ning Daoxuan’s projection were already locked in battle.

Gu ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍Yan raised his hand and waved. The power of the Five Elements circulated around his body—this was the Qi Refining stage divine ability, Five Elements Attraction.

Although ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍this divine ability was the most basic, when used with his current Human Immortal First Layer cultivation, its power was no longer what it once was.

Five-colored ‍​‌​‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​​​‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌​​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌​‍light shot out from his fingertips, transforming into five chains that coiled toward Ning Daoxuan.

The powers of the Five Elements intertwined and merged, forming a great net that descended.

Ning Daoxuan’s expression did not change. He flipped his right hand.

A streak of black light appeared in his palm, transforming into a pitch-black serpent that expanded with the wind.

The black serpent opened its mouth and actually swallowed the five-colored chains in one bite.

Gu Yan’s gaze sharpened.

Was this a legacy divine ability of the Kunlun Sect? Devouring all things?

Ning Hongye had used a similar method back then.

But it could swallow the Five Elements chains—could it swallow this as well?

With a thought, Gu Yan instantly appeared behind Ning Daoxuan.

He raised his right hand and struck down with a palm.

Five-colored light flowed within his palm—this was the Transformation Spirit stage divine ability, Five Elements Annihilation.

With one palm, all things were destroyed.

As if he had eyes on his back, Ning Daoxuan twisted his body and narrowly avoided the strike at the last moment.

At the same time, he swung his hand backward, releasing another black serpent that shot straight toward Gu Yan’s throat.

Gu Yan raised an eyebrow and once again vanished into the void.

The black serpent missed, but did not dissipate. Instead, it turned and continued its pursuit.

As Gu Yan evaded, he observed.

This projection of Ning Daoxuan truly had terrifying combat awareness.

Even though it was only a projection without consciousness, that battle instinct felt as though it was carved into his very bones.

Every move was perfectly timed.

Every evasion was executed to absolute precision.

Gu Yan suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

Now this was interesting.

He stopped evading and stood still.

Within his eyes, five-colored light suddenly appeared.

The light flowed, and within the depths of his pupils, faint phantoms of reincarnation emerged.

This was the Nascent Soul stage divine ability, Five Elements Reincarnation Eyes.

This divine ability could see through the flaws of all techniques and could also impose the power of Five Elements reincarnation, causing the opponent to fall into a brief daze.

Gu Yan’s gaze fell upon the pursuing black serpent, instantly seeing through its essence.

This black serpent divine ability was, in essence, a manifestation of devouring power.

It devoured all things—but devouring itself was also a form of Five Elements power.

Since it was of the Five Elements, it could not escape the insight of the Reincarnation Eyes.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Gu Yan’s lips as he waved his hand.

Five Elements Myriad Tribulations Undying Calamity-Transcending Divine Light was unleashed!

Where the divine light passed, the black serpent seemed to encounter its natural nemesis. It let out a shrill hiss before turning into black smoke and dissipating.

Seeing this, Ning Daoxuan remained expressionless.

His hands moved rapidly, and countless black serpents flew out from around him, densely packed and covering the sky as they surged toward Gu Yan.

Each black serpent contained the terrifying power to devour all things.

Looking at the swarm of black serpents, Gu Yan took a deep breath. The aura around his body suddenly changed.

A five-colored light surged out from within him, transforming into a massive phantom that enveloped him.

That phantom was identical to him, yet tens of thousands of meters tall, towering between heaven and earth.

This divine ability was the Five Elements Dharma Body!

With the Dharma Body formed, Gu Yan threw a punch.

The black serpents collided with his fist, exploding one after another and turning into black smoke.

However, when one serpent dissipated, ten more rushed in.

When ten dissipated, a hundred followed.

Gu Yan frowned slightly, and the Dharma Body dissipated.

His hands moved rapidly, and streaks of sword light shot out from around him.

The sword light shimmered with five colors, each containing the terrifying power to shatter the void.

This was the Integration Realm divine ability, Five Elements Great Thousand World Shattering Sword.

With one sword, a great thousand world could be shattered.

At this moment, Gu Yan unleashed eighty-one consecutive strikes.

Eighty-one five-colored sword lights formed a massive sword formation, enveloping Ning Daoxuan within.

The sword lights crisscrossed, each strike aimed at vital points around Ning Daoxuan.

Ning Daoxuan remained expressionless.

His hands moved continuously as massive black serpents flew out, colliding with the sword lights.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Continuous explosions erupted in the void.

Sword light and black serpents intertwined. The power of the Five Elements clashed with devouring power, creating endless ripples.

Watching this, Gu Yan nodded inwardly.

As expected, Ning Daoxuan’s physical body was incredibly powerful.

Although the black serpents were shattered by the sword light, he himself stood firm, unmoving.

If it were an ordinary Human Immortal, they would have already been torn to pieces by this sword formation.

As expected of someone capable of slaying Immortal Kings.

With a thought, the sword formation suddenly changed.

The eighty-one sword lights merged into one, forming a colossal sword tens of thousands of meters long that slashed down toward Ning Daoxuan.

Facing this strike, Ning Daoxuan finally moved.

He raised his head, looked at the descending giant sword, and spread his arms.

Black light surged around his body, forming a massive vortex.

That vortex was pitch-black and unfathomably deep, as if capable of devouring everything.

This was Ning Daoxuan’s trump card divine ability—Heaven-Devouring Earth-Swallowing.

The giant sword plunged into the vortex with a muffled roar.

Then, the sword light dissipated.

The vortex also shattered.

The two retreated several steps each, standing a thousand meters apart in confrontation.

Gu Yan took a deep breath.

Exhilarating.

Truly exhilarating.

Since stepping onto the path of cultivation, he had never experienced such a satisfying battle.

Even if it was only a dream, even if it was only a projection.

This kind of intense battle, this feeling of going all out, was far more interesting than secluded cultivation.

Gu Yan looked at Ning Daoxuan in the distance and released the suppression on his cultivation.

Ning Daoxuan’s aura began to rise.

Human Immortal First Layer.

Human Immortal Second Layer.

Human Immortal Third Layer.

It continued rising until peak Human Immortal before stopping.

A smile curved at the corner of Gu Yan’s lips as his figure vanished once more.

...

After an unknown amount of time—

Gu Yan stopped, breathing heavily.

In the distance, Ning Daoxuan’s figure slowly dissipated.

He had won this battle.

Peak Human Immortal Ning Daoxuan, though several times stronger than at the First Layer, had ultimately still been defeated by him.

But the victory had been far more difficult than he had expected.

Gu Yan sat cross-legged and silently reviewed the battle.

He had used all his divine abilities.

From the Qi Refining stage Five Elements Attraction, to the Human Immortal stage Five Elements Great Luo Heavenly Palm — Immortal Nation Within the Palm, and even the new Human Immortal stage divine ability Great Luo Heaven Supreme Primordial Five Elements Chaos Divine Light—he had used them all.

Each divine ability had played its role in the battle.

The Five Elements Dharma Body allowed him to directly contend with Ning Daoxuan’s black serpent divine abilities.

The Five Elements Reincarnation Eyes allowed him to see through the flaws in his opponent’s techniques.

The Five Elements Great Thousand World Shattering Sword suppressed the opponent’s offense.

The Five Elements Myriad Tribulations Undying Calamity-Transcending Divine Light countered the devouring power.

The Five Elements Great Luo Heavenly Palm — Immortal Nation Within the Palm trapped the opponent, buying time.

Finally, the battle was ended with the Great Luo Heaven Supreme Primordial Five Elements Chaos Divine Light.

This new Human Immortal stage divine ability was indeed domineering.

Once the divine light emerged, chaos was evolved, and the Five Elements were recreated.

Ning Daoxuan’s black serpent divine abilities had no power to resist before this light.

But even so, the battle had lasted a long time.

Because Ning Daoxuan’s physical body was simply too strong.

Although the black serpents were countered, his physical defense was absurdly powerful.

Several times, even when Gu Yan had clearly struck him, he could only inflict minor injuries.

In the end, it was only through continuous grinding with the divine light that he was worn down to death.

After resting for a moment, Gu Yan stood up.

With a thought, Ning Daoxuan’s figure condensed once again.

This time, it was at the early Heavenly Immortal stage.

Gu Yan took a deep breath and charged forward once more.

...

This battle lasted even longer.

Early Heavenly Immortal Ning Daoxuan was more than ten times stronger than at peak Human Immortal.

His black serpent divine abilities were even more terrifying, his devouring power stronger, and his physical defense even more monstrous.

Gu Yan pushed all his divine abilities to their limits before barely achieving victory.

Still the same conclusion—he won, but with extreme difficulty.

Gu Yan panted, looking at the dissipating figure in the distance, his eyes filled with excitement.

Again.

Mid-stage Heavenly Immortal.

This time, Gu Yan lost.

Not a complete defeat, but by the end, neither could do anything to the other.

At mid-stage Heavenly Immortal, he could fight to a draw.

This meant his strength had already far surpassed those of the same level.

Again.

Late-stage Heavenly Immortal.

This time, Gu Yan finally tasted defeat.

Late-stage Heavenly Immortal Ning Daoxuan was absurdly strong.

Every black serpent could threaten his life.

His physical defense was so strong that even Gu Yan’s divine abilities could barely break through.

By the end, Gu Yan was exhausted, while Ning Daoxuan remained as steady as a mountain.

Gu Yan stopped and waved his hand.

No more.

He could not win.

He sat cross-legged and silently summarized.

At Human Immortal First Layer, to fight a late-stage Heavenly Immortal to this extent was already very good.

Who was the opponent?

Ning Daoxuan.

A monster who could slay Immortal Kings at peak Golden Immortal.

Even if it was only a projection, even if it only had late-stage Heavenly Immortal cultivation, that combat awareness and mastery of divine abilities far surpassed ordinary Heavenly Immortals.

Being able to fight to a draw earlier was already a pleasant surprise.

After resting for a moment, Gu Yan stood up.

Next, it was time to test something else.

Magic treasures.

Since beginning his cultivation, he had obtained countless divine abilities and quite a few magic treasures.

But he had never once gone all out while using all his magic treasures.

Today was the perfect opportunity to try.
