Using divine abilities that defy the Heavenly Mandate to break the immortal pháp of the supreme expert 'Huangyue' from the Five Great Sacred Lands – the Heavenly Mandate!
Perfectly fitting!
As if two distinct wills of heaven and earth descended.
And then collided!
The pháp power within Chen Jiuyang's body poured out like a surging great river.
"As expected, the strength above the Dao Integration realm is completely different."
"Previously, when I used this divine ability, it didn't consume much, merely affecting myself. But this time, it's entirely different!"
Moments later.
'Huangyue's' immortal pháp techniques were shattered.
"How is this possible? Demon, you dare to use divine abilities that defy the Heavenly Mandate! This is a violation of the Immortal-Mortal Covenant! How dare you! How dare you!"
After his immortal pháp techniques were destroyed, Chen Jiuyang instantly ceased using the Heavenly Mandate-defying divine ability and soared into the air.
From a distance, Chen Jiuyang clearly saw the figure of 'Huangyue'. It was a young man clad in ancient jade robes from Baiyujing. Were it not for the ancient aura emanating from him, an aura that did not belong to this era, one might mistake him for a scholar on his way to an examination, his every movement exuding elegance.
But how could a supreme expert be as simple as he appeared on the surface?
The next instant.
A pháp power, as vast as an ocean descending, surged forth, sending streaks of ghostly light killing moves towards Chen Jiuyang.
In an instant, they reached Chen Jiuyang.
With no time to loose an arrow, Chen Jiuyang drew his Yan Sheng Saber from its sheath.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sky was a tapestry of five-colored light.
The wind howled, as if the end of days had arrived!
Countless people were secretly observing this great battle. Those watching remained still, and some spoke with sighs.
"This perfected Heavenly Will Four Symbols Arrow is truly extraordinary, striking first and catching 'Huangyue' off guard."
"Another killing move that shatters the Heavenly Mandate, his foundation is truly unfathomable."
Someone clapped their hands and exclaimed, "His saber path is also perfected..."
"Master of both saber and bow, even Yan Huang was perhaps no more than this!"
"Most importantly, he is still very young. The Demonic Path undoubtedly has more than one visible protector. We should not make a move, lest we reveal our presence and incur the pursuit of the Demonic Path Patriarchs."
"Rumble!!"
The sky was filled with a chaotic battle, mountains collapsed, and cracks spread everywhere.
The ten-kilometer expanse of snow-laden dark clouds was forcefully dispersed, scattering into the sky.
"Clang clang clang!!!"
Fierce combat erupted continuously. Chen Jiuyang instantly darted before 'Huangyue', engaging in close-quarters combat.
Unlike him, 'Huangyue' was a supreme expert who had achieved the Dao. Chen Jiuyang's various attacks could not completely break through his defenses.
What did this signify?
It signified that although his combat power had arrived, allowing him to contend with supreme experts, there was still a thin, unbreakable membrane separating them.
After hundreds of exchanges, Chen Jiuyang was covered in crimson blood.
This was a battle of attrition. Although 'Huangyue' appeared to be relentlessly pursued and beaten by Chen Jiuyang, he was actually increasing Chen Jiuyang's injuries through attrition.
He put on a grand show, intending to wear Chen Jiuyang down and kill him alive.
"This kind of power... this kind of power..." 'Huangyue' was not as relaxed as he appeared, and his heart was equally astonished by Chen Jiuyang's combat prowess.
To be able to fight him for hundreds of moves without being severely injured, before even reaching the realm of supreme experts, and with his martial path being inherently stronger than the immortal path.
He was both shocked and relieved. If Chen Jiuyang had stepped into the Imperial Path...
This battle might have been difficult to predict.
But for now, it was manageable.
No matter how high Chen Jiuyang's combat power was, he had not broken through that membrane to pose a substantial threat.
As long as he was slowly worn down, he could be eliminated.
Why? Immortal cultivators had long lifespans.
As they fought.
Chen Jiuyang suddenly coughed up blood, as if he had sustained a very serious injury. He slowly spoke, looking at 'Huangyue', and asked, "Are the Five Great Sacred Lands only sending you, one of their Patriarchs, to kill me?"
'Huangyue' said coldly, "Qianyang Demon Head! Who do you think you are, to warrant the full attention of the Five Great Sacred Lands? My journey this time is merely to retrieve the Human King Sword, which is the most important matter."
"So."
Chen Jiuyang's expression was calm, and he slowly said, "I have tested the limits of my current strength against you."
"My combat power is high, but it is ultimately just a quantitative accumulation. Without forging a furnace and ascending to the Imperial Path, I cannot achieve a qualitative change, and I cannot kill you."
'Huangyue' sneered, "It's good that you know. Today, I, this supremely wicked great demon, shall take your life!"
Chen Jiuyang looked at him with a calm expression and slowly said, "Have you misunderstood something?"
"When did you get the delusion that you could kill me?"
'Huangyue' sneered, "The Five Sacred Sealing Needles have already been set. Without stepping into the Imperial Path, how do you qualify to fight me?"
"It seems..."
"The Five Great Sacred Lands have indeed sent a Patriarch-level figure like you to kill me."
"In that case, I can truly rest assured."
'Huangyue' frowned, looking at the heavily injured Chen Jiuyang, and said coldly, "Putting on a show!"
"Die!!!"
A boundless, ocean-like pháp power poured out, transforming into various moves that attacked Chen Jiuyang.
Thousands of pure pháp power and origin suddenly appeared, causing the onlookers' hair to stand on end.
Chen Jiuyang slowly uttered a few words, each one resonating like a great bell, as if commanding heaven and earth.
"Divine Ability—"
"Past, Future, Present Moment, No Immortals!!!"
"Rumble!!!"
An unfathomable, ineffable dread suddenly descended upon heaven and earth.
Then, countless people's expressions changed!
"Another divine ability that defies the Heavenly Mandate!"
"This Qianyang Demon Lord of the True Demon Sect is truly remarkable..."
The first to bear the brunt was 'Huangyue'!
In an instant, he felt unable to mobilize the origin and law power within his body, his face drastically changing:
"This divine ability that defies the Heavenly Mandate! Chen Jiuyang, what have you done?"
Chen Jiuyang slowly revealed a chilling smile, "Exactly as the words imply."
This divine ability, since Princess 'Shile' taught it to him, had never been used in several years.
It was the two great Heavenly Mandate-defying divine abilities, 'All Races of the Mortal World Fear Me Like Heaven' and 'Past, Future, Present Moment, No Immortals', that were Chen Jiuyang's trump cards for daring to challenge a supreme expert across a major realm this time!
This was the first time he had unleashed this divine ability.
"Rumble!!!"
'Huangyue's' power was instantly sealed, and a large portion of his strength plummeted.
It was only at this moment that terror appeared in his eyes: "Where did you obtain this divine ability that defies the Heavenly Mandate..."
Such a terrifying divine ability was utterly beyond the possession of anyone from the mortal world.
"Where did I obtain it?"
Chen Jiuyang's figure flashed, and his Yan Sheng Saber cleaved towards his physical body.
"Chira—"
The physical body of the dignified supreme expert 'Huangyue' was split in two, separating from the middle.
Countless people were aghast!
A Venerable Realm expert could kill a supreme expert in the Dao Integration stage?!!!
