"Swish, swish, swish!"
The fierce wind roared.
Spiritual energy condensed around Chen Jiuyang, flames billowed, and then his indifferent voice rang out:
"Yuan Dao—Hundred Flower Kill!"
A majestic halo condensed into a sphere, containing Chen Jiuyang's essence, energy, and spirit.
The Hundred Flower Kill, a move created and evolved from a divine ability breakthrough!
He had only used it once before, but that was when he was at the Heavenly Realm.
Now, he was at the Venerable Realm.
"Crack—"
A deafening explosion resounded.
The light sphere shattered, transforming into thousands upon thousands of petals, transparent and brilliant, like individual flower petals under the sunlight.
In an instant, the petals surged like a tide and swept towards the sky.
Their target was the old demon Du Xing.
"Such a divine ability..."
"More terrifying than Void Return stage spells!"
"Is the Sect Master of the True Saint Sect truly walking the martial path?"
The people of the Origin Demonic Sect, witnessing this beautiful yet chilling scene, could not help but harbor this question.
"It's this move..."
Those familiar with Chen Jiuyang's move couldn't help but look dazed.
But more people tensed up, realizing the gap between them and the genius Chen Jiuyang.
Martial path divine abilities could be played with such flair.
"Rumble!!!"
In an instant, all of Du Xing old demon's illusions were submerged within it.
Then, Du Xing old demon's true body emerged from the sea of flowers, with at least a hundred wounds on his body, blood flowing incessantly, and his expression somewhat grim.
He, a dignified Void Return stage mighty figure, was actually unable to control the divine ability of a junior who had just entered the Venerable Realm less than a year ago.
What a profound humiliation this was.
Not to mention, the Origin Demonic Sect had always considered themselves the most noble among the one hundred and eight lineages of the Nine Demonic Sects.
As Du Xing old demon's figure escaped the pursuit of the flower sea.
"Swish!"
Chen Jiuyang took a step forward, his figure instantly flashing to Du Xing old demon's front, his long saber radiating golden glazed saber qi, and he slashed down at Du Xing old demon.
"Junior!!!"
Du Xing old demon let out a roar of shock and anger, raising his hand to unleash his pre-set thousand-layer defense shield.
"Crack, crack, crack, crack, crack!"
With a single slash, he directly cleaved through Du Xing old demon's defense shield without any obstruction, but he did not wound him again.
The people of the True Demonic Sect watching from the void shifted their gazes and began to communicate.
"The Sect Master's combat style is a bit off."
"Indeed, I noticed it too."
"The Sect Master seems... to have killing intent!"
"If the Sect Master only wanted to defeat this Du Xing old demon, he could have just used his divine abilities. Why use such a simple move to confront him?"
"Heh... this Du Xing old demon has always liked to toy with people's memories and emotions using heart demon techniques. Based on our understanding of our Sect Master, our Sect Master is a person who deeply values relationships."
A mighty figure from the True Demonic Sect narrowed his eyes and said, "Then he has stepped directly onto the Sect Master's sensitive spot. There's a good show to watch."
"This elder is also curious, by what means will the Sect Master kill this Du Xing old demon."
...
"Swish!"
Another saber strike.
Chen Jiuyang's Pure Lotus Sacred Fire ignited, directly capable of resisting and devouring any of Du Xing old demon's attacks. Slightly trickier spells were directly cleaved apart with a single saber strike.
In the sky.
A dignified Void Return stage mighty figure was being chased and slashed by Chen Jiuyang.
As time dragged on, it felt like a cat playing with a mouse.
The faces of the Origin Demonic Sect members immediately turned grim.
It was known that Immortal Dao cultivators' combat power was inferior to Martial Dao cultivators.
"Ch—"
One saber strike after another, one after another, one after another.
Chen Jiuyang was gradually weakening and devouring the life force of this Du Xing old demon.
The demonic path was ruthless.
But Chen Jiuyang, who had struggled out from obscurity, was even more ruthless.
One saber strike after another, Chen Jiuyang did not leave any saber shadows, preparing for a killing blow.
He was simply hunting Du Xing old demon with the mindset of a predator.
Meanwhile, Du Xing old demon was filled with unwillingness, yet refused to concede.
Firstly, he relied on his noble status within the Origin Demonic Sect and looked down on Chen Jiuyang.
Secondly, he was a Grand Elder of the Origin Demonic Sect, a Void Return stage mighty figure, who could die but not be insulted.
"Junior! You are going too far!"
Du Xing old demon coughed up blood and roared.
Chen Jiuyang's expression remained impassive, and he coldly said, "Qian Yang!"
After this divine ability move was unleashed.
"Boom!!!"
Du Xing old demon's physical body and soul, inside and out, turned to ashes.
A demonic old monster who had lived for an unknown period had thus perished.
It wasn't that he wasn't strong, but that Chen Jiuyang was too formidable.
"Next."
"Who will be my opponent?"
Chen Jiuyang stood in the void, his indifferent and cold voice spreading.
The faces of the Origin Demonic Sect members were knitted in a frown.
Chen Jiuyang's posture was too overbearing, but with the Sacred Artifact overseeing the Sacred Path competition, there was nothing they could do to tamper with it.
"This old man, Daoist Liansheng."
A middle-aged man in white, with a refined aura, holding a folding fan, stepped out and bowed slightly to Chen Jiuyang.
Chen Jiuyang said nothing more and spoke, "Begin."
As soon as Daoist Liansheng made a move, the heavens and earth changed color, with thunder and lightning flashing.
This was not a divine ability, not a spell, and certainly not a Dharma Aspect!
It was a heavenly tribulation!
The people of the True Demonic Sect were all shocked.
"Daoist Liansheng, despicable and shameless, actually drawing upon the heavenly tribulation!"
"What can be done about this!"
Daoist Liansheng was going to draw the lightning tribulation, causing Chen Jiuyang to perish in the heavenly tribulation.
How terrifying was the Void Return stage heavenly tribulation?
Tribulations before the Dao Integration stage were called heavenly tribulations, while after entering the Dao Integration stage, they were called Dao tribulations.
Chen Jiuyang looked at the suddenly formed heavenly tribulation, his brow furrowed, his gaze cold as he looked at Daoist Liansheng, as if looking at a dead man.
"To use the Void Return stage heavenly tribulation to kill me."
If this were anyone else, they would have long been terrified and fled.
Unfortunately, they encountered Chen Jiuyang.
If nothing else, when Chen Jiuyang advanced to the Heavenly Realm and the Venerable Realm, he could not only withstand the heavenly tribulation but also counter-attack it and turn it to his own use.
Not to mention, he also had the divine ability 'All tribes in the mortal world fear me as heaven' passed down by Princess Shi Le, which could evade heavenly tribulations.
Daoist Liansheng looked at Chen Jiuyang and said, "You are quite remarkable, a Venerable Realm cultivator at the age of twenty-seven participating in the Sacred Path competition. Throughout the countless years of our Sacred Path history, you are the most astonishing and talented one."
"It is a pity that all things in nature are born, and origin is the most noble. To walk this Sacred Path competition, it is only fitting that our Origin Sacred Sect should do so."
"Today, this old man will offer himself as a sacrifice to the Sacred Path, to protect the reputation of our Sacred Sect for ten thousand years!"
Chen Jiuyang looked at him expressionlessly. After entering the Nascent Soul stage, the thinking and conduct of Immortal Dao cultivators would increasingly be influenced by their sect's inheritance.
The speech of Daoist Liansheng was practically like that of a madman.
But he was a man on the verge of death, and Chen Jiuyang would not get angry with him.
"Rumble!!!"
Ten thousand zhang lightning dragons descended from the sky. The power of this was as if it possessed world-destroying might, causing a shudder.
Within the range of the heavenly tribulation were Chen Jiuyang and Daoist Liansheng.
The people of the True Demonic Sect were all anxious.
"Why doesn't the Sect Master immediately retreat from the heavenly tribulation range and fight after Daoist Liansheng's tribulation has passed?"
"This is bad, the Sect Master has been implicated in Daoist Liansheng's heavenly tribulation."
