Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

98: Chapter 98 Suppressing the True Disciple of a Grand Sect, the Name of a Prodigy!Chen Zhuxiao stood proudly on the Red Dust Life and Death Arena, his sharp gaze sweeping across the surroundings, causing many Cultivators to lower their heads, afraid to meet his eyes.

A Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator whose strength was not weak was thus slain by him, using his finger as a sword. If the Magic Treasure sword on his back were unsheathed, how much stronger would his power be?

“A Prodigy! An absolute Foundation Establishment Prodigy, and a Foundation Establishment Sword Immortal who comprehended Sword Intent!” A Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator spoke with a trembling voice, acknowledging Chen Zhuxiao’s name as a Prodigy.

“He is merely a Disciple from an ordinary Purple Mansion School. He doesn’t even have a Grade Six Spell. I can also slay such a being!”

Another Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator retorted, stepping onto the Red Dust Life and Death Arena with his head held high under the gaze of the crowd.

“Taiyuan Sect True Disciple, Xie Zhiyi!”

Chen Zhuxiao coldly swept his gaze over him. The thunder trace on his back was unsheathed, its tip pointing diagonally forward: “Someone from the Taiyuan Sect?”

“Does Your Excellency perhaps hold a grudge against my Taiyuan Sect?” Xie Zhiyi countered.

Chen Zhuxiao’s eyes turned into lightning. Sword Intent circulated ceaselessly around him, like a Divine Sword that had fully revealed its edge. Sword Qi crisscrossed in all directions, and Sword Light swept across the six directions.

“This is the Life and Death Arena. Life and death are decided by fate. If you are defeated, you die!”

Xie Zhiyi’s black hair flew wildly. Dharma Power surged within him, and a Green Copper Cauldron was summoned, emitting an extremely dense Jia Wood Qi.

“Since I stepped onto this Life and Death Arena, naturally I am not afraid. Instead, you will become the stepping stone for me to gain fame and fortune!”

As his voice fell, the Green Copper Cauldron instantly grew large, hanging in mid-air like a small mountain, radiating boundless light and cascading Jia Wood Dharma Power like a waterfall.

Boom!

Nine successive Jia Wood Great Dragons were condensed by him, embodying the utmost masculinity of Jia Wood. Each held a round of Azure Scorching Sun in its mouth, and intense Jia Wood radiance erupted, pouring out like nine Heavenly Rivers, submerging the Void Realm ahead.

Chen Zhuxiao held the thunder trace. Sword Intent gathered upon it, and the Concept of severing shackles and roaming freely in the Mortal World reappeared. Amidst the bursting thunder, nine hundred-zhang Sword Lights were unleashed in an instant, striking the Jia Wood Great Dragons from behind but arriving first.

RUMBLE!

The masculine Jia Wood clashed with the Divine Thunder Sword Light enhanced by Sword Intent, erupting in an extremely fierce impact. After a loud crash, a blazing radiance burst forth, forming a scene of destruction that shocked the heart.

The nine Sword Lights unleashed by Chen Zhuxiao were peerlessly sharp, allowing no endless shackles to bind them. They pressed forward relentlessly, splitting open the Jia Wood radiance, consecutively slaying the nine Jia Wood Great Dragons, and, with momentum undiminished, slammed into the Green Copper Cauldron.

Dong!

A sound like a great bell and chime resonated in all directions. Xie Zhiyi’s body violently shook. With the Green Copper Cauldron suspended above his head and blazing Jia Wood Dharma Power swirling around him, a pair of pupils shot out two astonishing beams of light.

“Strong enough! Come again!”

As he spoke, he immediately used his ultimate, hidden move, forming hand seals to fully revive the power of the Green Copper Cauldron and bless himself.

A towering Jian Mu reaching the heavens was manifested by him, standing high in the sky. Its surface was covered with mysterious and profound runes, pressing down so hard that the Void Realm faintly collapsed.

Grade Six Jia Wood Spell, Heaven-Propping Jian Mu!

Swish!

The thousand-zhang-tall Jian Mu descended from the sky, like a heaven-supporting pillar toppling over. It pressed down with the momentum of the sky collapsing, shattering the sea of clouds above the arena. It seemed intent on sinking the arena below with a single strike, annihilating Chen Zhuxiao along with the platform.

“Good timing!”

Two beams of lightning shot out from Chen Zhuxiao’s eyes. Overwhelming thunder surged. The thunder trace in his hand let out a clear sword chime, and a towering, Armored Divine Being phantom appeared behind him. Boundless lightning was blazing, and countless bolts of lightning struck down.

The next moment, the thunder trace slashed upward. Countless azure lightning bolts answered the call, extending upward, becoming part of the thunder trace sword body, and soaring straight into the vast high heavens.

To the Cultivators outside the arena, a beam of lightning Sword Light connecting heaven and earth counter-attacked upward, extending millions of Thunder Branches and Electric Snakes around it. It resembled the ultimate killing strike unleashed by a Thunder Dao Sword Immortal. Thunder boomed, and Sword Qi howled, resounding throughout the world!

This was a sword strike not confined by Spells, but one that Chen Zhuxiao unleashed by integrating his own comprehension of the Divine Thunder Path and the Sword Dao.

Boom!

The thousand-zhang Jian Mu clashed against the lightning Sword Light. Unparalleled divine power erupted from within. Sword Intent, capable of shattering ten thousand shackles, gathered upon it, greatly enhancing the might of this Sword Light.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, the Jian Mu was the first to fail, cracking inch by inch from the point of collision. It was annihilated by the lightning Sword Light empowered by Sword Intent, dissipating into countless specks of light.

Dang!

Dazzling sparks flew everywhere. A figure, along with the small mountain-like Green Copper Cauldron, was sent flying, blood constantly spilling from his mouth, staining the blood-splattered arena floor red.

Chen Zhuxiao struck again, merging with the Armored Divine Being phantom behind him. His might increased by several folds, making him resemble the Thunder Dao Dominator of the Ancient Thunder Palace, carrying infinite thunder light, utilizing the extreme speed of Divine Thunder, and unleashing Sword Light across the sky!

Xie Zhiyi’s Face was greatly horrified. He consecutively summoned several High Grade Tier Two Talismanic Incantations, which transformed into a sea of fire, an ice river, and a golden mountain to block the path ahead. However, they couldn’t hold up for long and were all annihilated by the lightning Sword Light in mid-air.

“Jia Wood generates blazing fire, triggering the Triple Tribulation!”

This True Disciple of the Taiyuan Sect gritted his teeth and hardened his resolve, using the Forbidden Technique of the Jia Wood Path, Fire Burning Wood. He took Jia Wood as the Foundation, stimulated the intent of annihilation, and thereby borrowed the power of the Fire Dao.

Jia Wood is inherently dry wood. As the saying goes, dry wood and fierce fire, Jia Wood is extremely easy to ignite. If the fire is strong, the wood will inevitably be incinerated, thus carrying the hidden danger of Complete Annihilation.

And the Forbidden Technique, Fire Burning Wood, derives its meaning from Complete Annihilation. At the cost of burning one’s own Jia Wood Foundation, it draws in Li Fire for assistance. The wood fuels the fire, greatly increasing its power!

A sea of fire connecting heaven and earth appeared, burning the sky above the arena bright red. A dry Jian Mu was constantly being incinerated, making crackling sounds.

“Fire Burning Wood, wood fuels fire! Take my strike, Li Fire Burning Heaven Saber!”

Xie Zhiyi’s Aura surged wildly. He formed hand seals. The Green Copper Cauldron above his head trembled violently, cracking into hundreds of fissures, and the Jia Wood Dharma Power pouring out rushed like a great river.

A Flame Heaven Saber manifested from the fiercely burning Li Fire ocean. A terrifying intent to burn the heavens permeated the air, making the Void Realm faintly show signs of melting from the heat.

Swish!

Following this, the Flame Heaven Saber, carrying the sea of fire, slashed down, enveloping the entire sky. The Li Fire leaped and pulsed, intensely blazing.

This was the standard of a True Disciple from a Great Sect. It was far beyond comparison to ordinary Sect Disciples and Loose Cultivators. Whether it was their Foundation or the various Spells they mastered, they were more than one level ahead of ordinary Cultivators!

Chen Zhuxiao held the thunder trace, stroking the sword with his hand. His thick black hair almost transformed into lightning, and dazzling electric light pulsed. The water in his internal Thunder Pool instantly decreased by more than half.

The next moment, a Sea of Thunder was unleashed by him, within which a bright and magnificent Sword Light rose and fell. Various Thunder Dao phenomena appeared. Heavenly might was vast, and thunder light illuminated the firmament.

Grade Six Spell, Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Captures the Vastness!

RUMBLE!

The Sea of Thunder and the sea of fire met. Blazing Thunder-fire exploded, like hundreds of active volcanoes erupting. Terrifying energy swept out like a fierce tide, submerging the two figures. Except for the Purple Mansion True Person, the rest of the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators could not clearly see the specific situation.

Not until the Sea of Thunder dissipated and the sea of fire extinguished did everything return to calm.

Two figures appeared in everyone’s eyes. Chen Zhuxiao stood holding his sword, his posture tall and straight, the beard on his Face gently swaying.

Opposite him, a blood-soaked figure knelt on the ground, crimson blood droplets continuously rolling down, their Aura extremely weak.

Beside him, a copper cauldron covered in cracks and charred black lay on the ground, having already become a piece of Scrap Armament.

“Yes... I lost.”

After speaking, lightning exploded, Xie Zhiyi’s chest burst open, and his entire body crashed to the ground. His Divine Soul perished, and he died on the spot.

“What?! Xie Zhiyi, the True Disciple of the Taiyuan Sect at the Peak of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, was defeated and killed?!” A Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator couldn’t believe his eyes.

“This person is only in the Early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, yet he was able to defeat Xie Zhiyi, who was at the Peak of Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, by fighting above his level. Amazing, truly amazing.” A Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator exclaimed.

“With Xie Zhiyi’s strength, suppressing and killing an ordinary Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator wouldn’t be difficult, but his opponent was a Foundation Establishment Sword Immortal who mastered Sword Intent and cultivated a Grade Six Divine Thunder immortal foundation. His death was not unjust.” A Foundation Establishment Peak Great Cultivator from a Great Sect said this.

If Chen Zhuxiao had been in the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, he would have stepped up to fight. Otherwise, it would be unacceptable for him, a Foundation Establishment Peak True Disciple from a Great Sect, to fight an Early-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, regardless of the outcome.

Chen Zhuxiao stood holding his sword. The Divine Thunder That Shakes the Universe Sutra circulated. He took out a few Medicinal Pills and began to recover his Spiritual Power.

Xie Zhiyi was, after all, a True Disciple of the Taiyuan Sect, and his Realm was not low, which consumed most of Chen Zhuxiao’s effort.

As for whether the Taiyuan Sect people would seek revenge, there was no need to worry.

If Xie Zhiyi had died elsewhere, the Taiyuan Sect would naturally investigate. But coincidentally, he died on the Red Dust Life and Death Arena. Everything was his own doing, and no one else could be blamed.

The Taiyuan Sect was not an ordinary Purple Mansion School. It was a Purple Mansion Great Sect that had produced a Golden Core True Monarch, possessed a Magic Treasure to suppress the Sect’s Luck, and was protected by a Great True Person with Five Dharma Manifestations. They still needed Face.

Although Guangze Prefecture, where the Taiyuan Sect was located, was not a Great Prefecture, because the Taiyuan Sect was there, it was not far inferior to a Great Prefecture.

Otherwise, the Xuan Yuan Sect wouldn’t have spent favors to invite the Taiyuan Sect to act against the Chen Family, completely trusting the Taiyuan Sect’s strength.

However, the Xuan Yuan Sect underestimated Yuan Feng’s strength, causing this calculation to fail.

Next, several more Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators stepped onto the stage to fight life-and-death battles with Chen Zhuxiao. For a time, Sword Light crisscrossed and thunder surged. These Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators were all slain by Chen Zhuxiao’s sword, further boosting his prestige.

Finally, a Young Master from a Hidden Family in another State took action. He had recently broken through to Mid-stage Foundation Establishment. His Foundation was immensely solid, and he was suspected of having forged a Grade Six Xin Metal immortal foundation, the [Heavenly Marrow Drop].

This battle was extremely fierce and exciting. In the end, Chen Zhuxiao was still superior, using the speed of Divine Thunder overlaid with the might of Sword Intent to sever his head, causing him to Perish.

This greatly enraged his Dao Protector, but the Red Dust Tower Lord personally stepped in to warn him, revealing a False Core level cultivation, which finally caused the Dao Protector of the Hidden Sect to retreat.

After this ordeal, no one dared to step onto the arena to fight Chen Zhuxiao again. His Aura also reached an unprecedented Peak at this moment. He broke through his Realm on the spot, becoming a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator, astonishing all the Cultivators.

“Please, Young Master, enter the pavilion for a conversation.”

At this moment, a clear, cold, yet pleasant voice came from within the Aerial Pavilion, sounding as if a Moon Palace Fairy from the Nine Heavens had spoken, ethereal and boundless, making people yearn for it.

Chen Zhuxiao originally wanted to refuse, but then remembered that his ability to comprehend Sword Intent was entirely due to the other party’s Flute Music. Thus, he stepped forward, ascending step by step into the sky, entering the Aerial Pavilion directly.

After he entered the pavilion, the Aerial Pavilion disappeared into the Void Realm, seemingly no longer in this space.

This scene caused the many Cultivators inside the Red Dust Tower to be filled with envy and jealousy, all wailing about why it wasn’t them.

Yuan Feng and Chen Fufeng exchanged glances, a strange look appearing in their eyes: “Old Chen, I think Zhu Xiao has a Peach Blossom Fate, destined to attract romance. Don’t expect him to marry just one person in this lifetime.”
