Chapter 582: Chapter 582: The Biggest Outcome
"In the eyes of others, war is a life-and-death struggle, but in Benben’s eyes, it is an art of the ’path’!" It is the art of the path, using the least expenditure to achieve the greatest results.
"Your strength greatly surprises Benben, proving your talent is truly extraordinary!" But when Benben sees you in this file, you don’t know how to fight. This file doesn’t need to put pressure on you. It doesn’t need to fight you in a life-and-death battle. It only needs to fight with you. Then it continually makes you think you’ve won the fight. It makes you believe the next file will fail so that it keeps draining your magic, shortening your time to break through and suppressing your momentum. From the very beginning, gasoline won’t be defeated!
Saying this, Li Yicai suddenly erupted in a fit of rage, leaving everyone stunned, even Yang Tian furrowing his brows slightly.
The impetus was so strong that it was even heavier and more terrifying than when he fought Yang Tian before.
In the original battle, Li Yicai hadn’t exerted all his effort; everything was done, as he just mentioned, to minimize expenditure and maximize results.
"Enough, this explanation ends here!"
He unleashed the true brilliance of his power and slowly raised the treasured sword in his hand, pointing it at Yang Tian. "Entering my cultivation as a demon, you have only one choice: kneel before this clan, submit to this clan. I won’t kill you!"
In that moment, Li Yicai stood under the sword, exuding an aura so overwhelming, it left everyone breathless, as if he truly was the ruler of the world!
Only at this moment did everyone truly grasp the terror of Li Yi.
No matter the time or place, in every battle, Li Yicai was always the ultimate victor!
This is the flair of the number one figure in Xiu Zhen.
Even the Prime Elder of Baixiao Pavilion sighed after hearing Li Yicai’s words, saying, "A thousand years of Jianling Sect, a thousand years of Li Yicai." From the time Li Yicai entered the Jianling Sect, as long as he doesn’t ascend to his mortal limits, he has commanded respect over thousands of years!
"Lord Pavilion Master, does the Guiyuan Heavenly Venerate really have no chance of resurrection?"
Qi Yu’er sorrowfully asked from another side.
After all, in her view, not even mentioning Yang Tian’s devilish status in cultivation, it was said that even when Bai Xiaoge was recorded, no previous master’s ’threshold’ could "force" Jianling’s prestige to such a level.
Is this the end?
This is the end!
This time, everyone turned to watch Li Yicai wield his sword, and they all shared the same thought in their hearts. Simultaneously, they breathed a collective sigh of relief!
Though in their hearts, Yang Tian had not shaken the unshakable authority of ranking among the top three, ultimately leaving just a trace of regret.
However, compared to Yang Tian’s devilish identity in cultivation, such regret was entirely negligible!
After all, the eternal enemy of cultivators, the demon cultivators, had long been equated with devils in the legends of practitioners.
No matter what, these cultivators did not wish for demon cultivators to surpass them and become invincible beings!
But just then, a crisp sound rang out—something fell from the sky and landed right in front of everyone!
It was a broken sword, one that looked very familiar!
"Where did this come from?"
Old Duan of Zongjian Ridge frowned as he asked.
On the other side, Xiao Daoyin laughed and said, "Where else could it have come from? It must be that child who wanted to fight to the death but got cut down directly by the sect leader..."
Yet at the moment Xiao Daoyin said these words, he suddenly froze!
Duan Nong was also stunned!
Because they suddenly realized one thing: Yang Tian’s Magic Treasure was not a sword, but a knife!
So if this wasn’t Yang Tian’s Magic Treasure, whose could it be?
With that thought, both immediately raised their heads—only to be dumbstruck in an instant!
Because at this moment, Li Yicai was standing in front of Yang Tian, staring disbelievingly at his own hands!
In his hands was the Star Sword, but at this moment, the weapon that had always symbolized the unrivaled power of Li Yicai’s Star Sword was left with only half, as if it had been cleanly broken in half right at the center!
The broken half of the sword lying on the ground was actually Li Yicai’s Galaxy Sword!
Across from Li Yicai, on Yang Tian’s black shirt, a large vertical gash had been cut open from the top down. However, beneath the torn fabric, a faint golden light flickered. Deep golden patterns continuously flowed across Yang Tian’s skin like living things.
"How... how could this be?"
Li Yicai looked at the broken Galaxy Sword in his hand, then at Yang Tian, his brows nearly knitted into a single line!
He could see it very clearly!
He had struck Yang Tian with a sword carrying tremendous True Yuan. It had struck flawlessly!
Under this sharp sword, Yang Tian’s ’great’ body should have been completely severed in two, with his Nascent Soul captured, ending the battle!
But now, what happened?
Yang Tian’s clothing was merely damaged; there weren’t even any scars. But his legendary Star Sword—that sword, his pride—was broken. At this point, Li Yicai felt utterly disoriented, as though he were in a dream.
"A devil from the heavens!"
At this moment, ignoring the dazed Li Yicai, Yang Tian placed a hand on his glowing torso and said, "Although demon cultivators and truth practitioners follow different paths, they still tread the same road. They cultivate energy, build a foundation, form Golden Cores, achieve Yuan Essence, face tribulations, ascend through the Mahayana stage, and rise to the stars! And what happens after ascension?"
"After ascension?"
Li Yicai frowned deeply at these words.
Although he was gifted, he was merely a cultivator and not an immortal. Could he possibly know what the world looked like after ascension?
Would one become an Immortal? Enter the Fairy Palace?
Yang Tian continued, "Cultivators who ascend achieve earthly immortality, human immortality, Golden Immortality, and beyond to True Immortality. Demon cultivators ascend to demon domains, achieving Demons of Foundation, Demon Cores, Demon Monsters, and ultimately Revered Demonhood."
"Those who practice the truth become Earth Immortals, Human Immortals, Golden Immortals, and even True Immortals? While demons ascend to become demons, onto monsters, and ultimately Revered Demons? What... what are you saying?"
Li Yicai wanted to respond with mockery, to accuse Yang Tian of rambling nonsense!
After all, if all this were true, wouldn’t the world of truth cultivation and the world above the earth... wouldn’t the immortals themselves be divided? How could anyone know of a higher existence beyond the stars?
Yet staring at Yang Tian, Li Yicai found himself unable to refute these claims, as if a voice in his heart told him that everything Yang Tian said could be true!
So, he could only take a deep breath and ask, "How do you know all this?"
"How does this ancestor know?" Shouldn’t you already know by now?"
Yang Tian smiled faintly, the breeze brushing past his face, then opened his mouth to ask, "Don’t you understand the meaning of an ancestor’s refined ’great body,’ which is known as the Demonic Golden Body?"
"The Demonic... Golden Body..."
Li Yicai carefully contemplated these words, his face suddenly flashing with an expression of utter disbelief. "Are you saying... your great body has reached... the realm of supernatural devils?"
"Correct!"
Yang Tian smiled and said, "You guessed it. This ancestor is indeed."
Did Li Yicai lose?
The Leader of the Three Great Families, ruler of the Cultivation Kingdom Jianling for so many years, the revered number one, was defeated?
For a moment, all the leaders and elders of the sects were left utterly speechless.
Although Yang Tian had previously countered Li Yicai in skirmishes, at that time, Li Yicai had not been in peak condition.
Ultimately, Yang Tian shattered the constraints of suppression and revealed his true strength!
