Chapter 1280 Breaking Bai Xutao

1280 Breaking Bai Xutao

Despite the ineffectiveness of his initial attacks, which felt like punching a steel wall, Yuan persisted in his efforts to breach Bai Xutaoʼs defenses.

”Hahaha! Itʼs futile! You can keep struggling, but my defense is invincible!” Bai Xutao chortled maniacally.

”Heavenly Tigerʼs Severing Fury!”

Not only did Bai Xutaoʼs defenses experience a substantial boost, but his offensive capabilities also soared, perhaps even surpassing his formidable defenses.

”Whatʼs wrong?! Is your Soul Weapon just for show?!” Bai Xutao provoked him after noticing that he hadnʼt used his weapon once since he summoned it.

”Are you sure? I donʼt want to accidentally kill you.” Yuan replied.

”Iʼd like to see you try!” Bai Xutao grinned, and he suddenly stopped moving.

He spread his arms and gestured, ”Come! Iʼll even give you a chance to kill me!”

Yuan narrowed his eyes at Bai Xutao.

”Go ahead! What are you waiting for?!” Bai Xutao began approaching him with complete confidence written all over his face.

”Then I wonʼt be humble…”

Without any hesitation, Yuan swung the Dragonʼs Soul at Bai Xutao, but he didnʼt aim for the neck.

Sha!

The following moment, Bai Xutaoʼs eyes widened with disbelief when the Dragonʼs Soul tore right through his invisible armor and detached his right arm, almost as though his defenses had suddenly disappeared.

”Wha—?!” Bai Xutao immediately distanced himself from Yuan before taking out another pill and swallowing it. A few seconds later, his severed arm regenerated entirely.

Yuan then pointed at his severed arm in the distance and said, ”Go grab your Soul Weapon. I wonʼt touch you until you do.”

”You bastard…” The confidence on Bai Xutaoʼs face had been wiped clean off, and he hastily went to retrieve his Soul Weapon, feeling humiliated once again.

Meanwhile, Yuan couldnʼt help but be inwardly impressed by the Dragonʼs Soulʼs performance. He had struck Bai Xutao without employing any techniques just now, yet he had effortlessly severed Bai Xutaoʼs arm.

ʼAs expected of a Soul Weapon that is related to the Dragon Goddess…ʼ he smiled inwardly.

After realizing that Yuan could somehow penetrate his defenses, Bai Xutao refrained from recklessly approaching him.

ʼCurse it all! Just who is this guy?! Why is he so incredibly powerful?! Iʼve never heard of anyone like him in the upper heavens!ʼ Bai Xutao lamented inwardly, his thoughts in turmoil as he desperately sought to uncover Yuanʼs true identity.

Seeing Bai Xutaoʼs hesitation, Yuan smiled and spoke, ”Why are you thinking so much? Just increase your cultivation again. Maybe youʼll be able to suppress me when youʼre at Spirit Enlightenment.”

Bai Xutao clenched his teeth in frustration. Though he was reluctant to unlock more of his cultivation, he couldnʼt imagine defeating Yuan in his current state.

ʼDo I have no other choice?! Damn it all! If I donʼt do it, he might actually kill me!ʼ In the end, Bai Xutao decided to increase his cultivation once again, entering the first level of Spirit Enlightenment.

In his thoughts, Bai Xutao recognized that without increasing his cultivation, he would likely meet his end at Yuanʼs hands. However, he believed he had a reasonable chance of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation due to the abundance of resources at his disposal.

Naturally, he had little confidence in overcoming Yuan even with the release of his full cultivation, but such considerations had to be set aside for the moment.

ʼSo, this is Spirit Enlightenment, huh? The pressure is no joke...ʼ Yuan swallowed nervously after feeling the oppressive aura being exuded by Bai Xutao.

Not only was Bai Xutao now three entire realms above him, but Bai Xutao wasnʼt an ordinary Spirit Enlightenment Cultivator either. He hailed from a formidable clan in the upper heavens and possessed a true cultivation level far beyond Spirit Enlightenment.

ʼNow that things have reached this point, I will have to get serious, or Iʼll die.ʼ Yuan thought to himself.

He closed his eyes and recalled the feeling he had felt when he transformed.

[Dragon Awakening!]

In the following instant, Yuanʼs black hair transformed to a shimmering gold, and his eyes ignited with a brilliant gold hue. His aura swelled, emanating a domineering presence.

”What...?” Bai Xutaoʼs eyes widened in astonishment as he beheld Yuanʼs transformation, and he mumbled in a bewildered tone, ”You were a beast all along...?”

Having held the belief that Yuan was a human this entire time, and observing no prior indications of Yuan being a beast, this revelation greatly astonished him.

Yuan aimed his spear at Bai Xutao, his voice chillingly cold as he remarked, ”Try not to die too quickly.”
The instant his sentence ended, Yuan attacked Bai Xutao.

”?!?!?!”

Yuanʼs movements were so swift that Bai Xutao could scarcely react, and before he even realized, his left leg had been cleanly severed.

Bai Xutao didnʼt even have the time to express his pain before Yuan attacked again, aiming for his other leg.

Bai Xutao swiftly evaded the attack, but despite his efforts, Yuanʼs spear still grazed him, tearing away a chunk of flesh from his other leg.

When he realized that his strength was still insufficient, Bai Xutao did not hesitate to increase his cultivation again, entering the second level of Spirit Enlightenment. He also tossed another pill into his mouth, quickly regrowing his lost limbs.

Seeing this, Yuan pushed himself even further.

Sha!

Once again, Yuan managed to sever Bai Xutaoʼs legs. This time, he severed both legs with one swing.

ʼWhat the fuck is this bastard?!?!ʼ Bai Xutao began to panic when it seemed like he would always be behind Yuan no matter how much he increased his cultivation.

Over the next several minutes, Yuan would cut off Bai Xutaoʼs limbs over and over again, littering the ground with dozens of Bai Xutaoʼs limbs.

Bai Xutao would continuously swallow pills to restore his limbs and increase his cultivation, reaching all the way to the ninth level of Spirit Enlightenment. However, his mental strength did the opposite and deteriorated rapidly.

Eventually, Bai Xutao could no longer endure the torture and snapped.

”ENOUGH! I HAVE HAD ENOUGH! I DONʼT CARE IF I DIE AFTER THIS AS LONG AS I TAKE YOU WITH ME!” he unleashed his loudest roar yet.

ʼMy liege, you need to retreat now! Heʼs going to unseal all of his cultivation!ʼ Dong Ye suddenly warned him.

Yuan nodded.

But just as Dong Ye prepared to teleport Yuan away, another presence manifested in their vicinity, and a commanding voice boomed a second later, ”What do you think youʼre doing?! Halt this instant!”

Upon recognizing the familiar voice, Bai Xutao ceased his actions and regained his composure.

”Elder Sister…?” he mumbled in a dazed voice.

Sure enough, Bai Ning appeared before them a moment later.

”What in Immortal Monarchʼs name is happening here...?” she glared at Bai Xutao, demanding answers.
