Under the Profound Heaven Sword Formation, Di Tianxing was assailed by countless Sword Qi; however, the Dragon Scale Armor he wore and the Body Integration Law Domain emanating from his body released endless Dragon Qi, successfully fending off the Sword Glows striking him.
Di Tianxing's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he glared at the sky-filling Sword Glows. His aura suddenly surged, and the spiritual power within him churned violently. He darted left and right, attempting to break through the Sword Formation's encirclement.
However, within the Profound Heaven Sword Formation, ten thousand spiritual swords followed him like shadows. They were uniform and their Sword Intent was awe-inspiring, weaving into an impenetrable net in the air, firmly trapping Di Tianxing within, leaving him with no way to advance or retreat.
Di Tianxing attempted several times but failed to succeed. Facing such a profound Sword Formation, brute force alone was not enough to escape; he had to use a higher level of power.
A hint of annoyance flashed in Di Tianxing's eyes as he stared at Li Mu, who was controlling the Profound Heaven Sword Formation. The killing intent in his heart intensified.
To deal with a mere Refining Void cultivator, he couldn't just capture him easily. He was even forced to exert his full strength and consume his own Foundation, which was an unforgivable sin!
Facing Di Tianxing's cold, frosty, and murderous gaze, Li Mu sighed helplessly and sincerely proposed again, "Senior, you and I have no deep-seated grudges. How about we stop here? I don't know how Xuantian Sword Sect offended Senior, and I apologize to Senior here!"
Di Tianxing was an old monster who had been famous for ten thousand years and possessed countless trump cards. Li Mu did not want to be his enemy, but this old fellow's stubborn and relentless nature truly gave him a headache.
Just as Li Mu thought his renewed plea for peace would slightly quell Di Tianxing's anger, he saw a cold sneer curl on Di Tianxing's lips. That smile not only held disdain for Li Mu's suggestion but also concealed a sense of determination and madness.
"Hmph, a mere Sword Formation, and you think it can make this Emperor stop?" Di Tianxing sneered, looking at Li Mu.
The next moment, Di Tianxing's figure suddenly solidified, and his aura underwent a drastic change. An ancient and majestic aura erupted from his body, and a vast Dragon roar echoed, causing the entire space to violently tremble.
"Dragon Emperor descends, appear!"
As Di Tianxing's words fell, an ancient and mysterious power seemed to awaken between heaven and earth. Centered on Di Tianxing, black ripples rapidly spread. Wherever they passed, space twisted, Sword Glows were devoured by this power, and the might of the Profound Heaven Sword Formation also dimmed slightly.
Immediately after, a colossal being slowly condensed from the black ripples. It was a giant Dragon covered in dark golden Dragon scales, with eyes like torches, emitting a terrifying glow. This was precisely the manifestation of Di Tianxing's strongest ultimate skill—the Dragon Emperor True Body. It was not only a symbol of power but also the embodiment of the supreme majesty of the ancestor of all Dragons.
"Roar—" The giant Dragon roared to the sky, its sound waves materializing into sound wave blades that fiercely collided with the Sword Qi of the Profound Heaven Sword Formation, producing deafening roars.
Myriad Swords Mountain, which controlled the Profound Heaven Sword Formation, felt the threat from the Dragon Emperor at this moment. The body of the Sword Mountain resonated with buzzing Sword hums. Ten thousand spiritual swords, empowered by the Sword Intent of the Sword Mountain, flashed more rapidly. Their flight speed increased several times, and Sword roars continuously echoed as they tried to resist this invincible power of the Dragon Emperor.
"Little friend! If you have any other trump cards, quickly use them. That Night Emperor has revealed his Dragon Emperor True Body; he's going all out against you."
Qingyang Zi's remnant soul, hidden in the soul world pearl, discovered this scene and urged Li Mu anxiously, speaking with urgency.
Night Emperor - Di Tianxing's Cultivation Technique, the Dragon Emperor Art, is one of the most ancient and rare Cultivation Techniques in the world. Its core lies in comprehending and wielding the Dragon Emperor Qi. Dragon Emperor Qi is one of the purest and most powerful forces in the world. It contains the supreme majesty and vast vitality of the Dragon Clan's ancestor, capable of not only enhancing the Cultivator's Physical Body and spiritual power but also unleashing world-destroying power at critical moments.
In the process of Cultivating the Dragon Emperor Art, the condensation of every trace of Dragon Emperor Qi is extremely difficult, requiring the Cultivator to endure countless hardships and comprehend the profound truths of heaven and earth to glimpse a trace of the Dragon Emperor's secret. Di Tianxing, as a peerless expert from ten thousand years ago, not only successfully Cultivated to the highest Realm of the Dragon Emperor Art but also integrated the Dragon Emperor Qi into his own Bloodline, forming the unique Dragon Emperor True Body.
At this moment, Di Tianxing revealing his Dragon Emperor True Body would inevitably consume his Dragon Qi Origin, meaning he would pay a huge price. He must have harbored a killing intent towards Li Mu.
However, for Li Mu, who only had a Void Refining Cultivation, Qingyang Zi no longer dared to underestimate him. This kid was simply a peerless Prodigy. With his Five Elements Spiritual Root and Cultivating ancient Cultivation Techniques, not only did he achieve the Void Refining Realm in just a few hundred years, but he was also proficient in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Puppet, Formation, Beast Taming, and many other Cultivation arts, and he had countless trump cards.
Even though he was one major Realm lower than Di Tianxing, with Li Mu's extraordinary wisdom and means, he might be able to pull out even more powerful trump cards in this desperate situation to seize a glimmer of hope.
"Alas!"
Li Mu sighed helplessly. Without Qingyang Zi's reminder, he also felt Di Tianxing's aura increase by thousands of times at this moment, and he dared not underestimate him.
"Since Senior insists! Then there's only a fight to the death!"
Li Mu stared at Di Tianxing, who had transformed into a black Dragon Emperor with immense Dragon might, and said in a deep voice.
As the word 'fight' escaped his lips, a powerful aura erupted from Li Mu's body. He stopped the operation of the Reversal Yuan Illusion Breath Art, revealing his Cultivation aura at the Refining Void Peak Realm, his powerful Divine Soul aura, and his Five Elements Dao Body also manifested.
This scene, falling into the eyes of Di Tianxing and Qingyang Zi, caused both of them to perk up, shocked by the sudden emergence of Li Mu's true Cultivation aura and powerful Divine Soul.
Di Tianxing's vertical Dragon pupils flickered with complex light, containing both surprise at Li Mu's true Cultivation and anticipation for the battle about to enter a heated stage: "Refining Void Peak, and such a powerful Divine Soul. I underestimated you. However, this alone is not enough to shake this Emperor's Dragon Emperor True Body."
What is this? Five Elements Spiritual Body?
What kind of Divine Sense Cultivation Technique is he Cultivating? How can his Divine Soul be so powerful?
Feeling the true aura and powerful Divine Soul emanating from Li Mu, Qingyang Zi was utterly shocked speechless.
"Is that so!"
At this moment, a hint of killing intent also flashed in Li Mu's eyes. He had repeatedly pleaded with the other party to stop, yet the other party was relentless, acting as if they had him cornered.
Now, Li Mu was thoroughly enraged and prepared to unleash a massacre.
"Golden Sharp, appear!"
"Fire Lotus, appear!"
"Green Wood, appear!"
"Earth Yuan, appear!"
"Water Ripple, appear!"
Li Mu extended his hand and chanted continuously. The next moment, five Seventh-Order Dao Swords flew out of his body one after another.
Each of the five Dao Swords contained the purest Five Elements power between heaven and earth. They circled around Li Mu, their bodies glowing with dazzling light, as if they could cleave the Void Realm and pierce through all things.
"Golden Sharp" had a slender blade, shimmering with dazzling golden light, sharp and incomparably keen, as if it could cut through all hard objects in the world.
"Fire Lotus" had a crimson blade, and a flickering flame lotus bloomed at its tip, its petals containing destructive fire element power.
"Green Wood" had a jade-green blade, exuding vibrant vitality. The surrounding space seemed to be filled with greenery, and countless vines grew out of the Void Realm.
"Earth Yuan" had a heavy and steady blade, surrounded by earthy yellow light, giving a sense of steadfastness like a mountain, and waves of heavy earth element power emanated from it.
"Water Ripple" had a blade as blue as water, and as its tip trembled slightly, the sound of surging waves seemed to emanate.
The appearance of the five Seventh-Order Dao Swords instantly stirred the Five Elements Yuan Power of the entire Star Domain into a frenzy. Heaven and earth seemed to form a magnificent Five Elements scroll, and Li Mu stood at the center of the scroll. The might of his Five Elements Dao Body ascended another level. His eyes were cold, and the Five Elements Dao Swords circling him were in perfect sync with his will, dancing as he willed, spewing terrifying Five Elements Sword Glows.
Five Seventh-Order Dao Swords?
Seeing this scene, Di Tianxing was startled, and the Dragon claw he was about to unleash paused.
Li Mu wouldn't wait for him. His powerful Divine Soul attached to the five Seventh-Order Dao Swords. With a flick of his Sword Art and the infusion of vast spiritual power, the five Five Elements Dao Swords glowed brightly, instantly transforming into five Sword Rainbows that vanished in an instant, heading towards Di Tianxing's Dragon Emperor True Body.
"Five Elements Sword Formation, kill!"
Li Mu let out a low roar. The five Seventh-Order Dao Swords instantly wove into a complex and profound sword net in the air according to the sequence of Five Elements mutual generation. Within the sword net, the Five Elements power circulated endlessly, and each Sword Glow contained the terrifying power to tear apart the firmament.
Di Tianxing's Dragon pupils suddenly constricted. Faint glows appeared on his black Dragon scales. He spread his claws, and his Dragon might surged, twisting the surrounding space into a powerful storm, attempting to tear apart the Five Elements Sword Formation.
However, once the Five Elements Sword Formation was formed, the Five Elements generated each other: Metal generated Water, Water generated Wood, Wood generated Fire, Fire generated Earth, and Earth generated Metal, forming a perfect cyclical system. The generation of each Sword Glow not only contained Sword Intent but also involved the mutual transformation and enhancement of the Five Elements power, thereby multiplying the power of the Sword Formation.
Within the Sword Formation, golden Sword Glows, like sharp blades, cut through space, fiercely colliding with Di Tianxing's Dragon Breath storm, producing deafening roars.
The flame lotus at the tip of the Fire Lotus Sword swayed gracefully in the storm. Each bloom was accompanied by destructive fire element power, incinerating the Dragon Breath in the storm.
The Green Wood Sword, on the other hand, exuded vibrant vitality. Countless vines spread in the storm, attempting to bind the Dragon Emperor True Body's movements, while simultaneously absorbing energy from other Yuan powers, continuously transforming and strengthening the Formation's Foundation.
The Earth Yuan Sword was heavy and steady, as stable as the earth itself. It resisted the impact of the storm, providing a solid backing for the other four Dao Swords.
The Water Ripple Sword was exceptionally agile. As its tip trembled slightly, the power of rivers, lakes, and seas seemed to gather, interweaving with the Dragon Breath in the storm, forming swirling water tornadoes that tore the Dragon Breath storm to shreds.
Di Tianxing immediately felt a powerful suppressive force. His Dragon Emperor True Body was tightly bound by the Five Elements power within the Sword Formation, as if trapped in a cage composed of the Five Elements of heaven and earth. His Dragon Emperor Qi was rapidly consumed, yet he could not escape the range of the Five Elements Sword Formation.
"Ah—! Get lost!"
Di Tianxing's roar shook the Void Realm. Unwillingness and anger converged into an invisible force, causing the surrounding air to solidify. His Dragon might reached its Peak at this moment. His black Dragon scales, like stars in the dark night, emitted a chilling glow, attempting to break free from the Five Elements Sword Formation, which seemed to possess a supreme will.
The Five Elements Sword Formation, like the embodiment of natural Law, sensed the increase in Di Tianxing's power. Instead of retreating, it further stimulated its inherent spirituality and power.
The Golden Sharp Sword's edge was incomparably sharp, as if it could cleave the Void Realm;
The Fire Lotus Sword's flame was scorching and pure, like the sun's fire, incinerating all things;
The Green Wood Sword was full of vitality, releasing the rhythm of life, attempting to bind the powerful enemy with the power of nature;
The Earth Yuan Sword was heavy and steady, bearing the weight and tenacity of the earth, providing an indestructible Foundation for the Sword Formation;
The Water Ripple Sword was exceptionally agile, as if the essence of rivers, lakes, and seas had condensed, using softness to overcome hardness and neutralizing all attacks.
Every fierce impact from Di Tianxing was like hitting an invisible wall, skillfully and precisely neutralized by the Five Elements power. At the same time, the Sword Glows within the Sword Formation became denser, like falling stars across the sky. Each Sword Glow contained the terrifying power to tear space, mercilessly piercing the Dragon Emperor True Body.
"This... how is this possible!"
Di Tianxing endured the pain, his heart filled with shock. He never expected that even at his full power, he would be trapped by a Refining Void cultivator's Sword Formation.
However, the facts were before his eyes, and Di Tianxing had to face them. If this continued, he might truly be defeated, which was intolerable.
Di Tianxing gritted his teeth, deciding to expend a trace of Dragon Emperor True Blood to unleash his ultimate move.
"Dragon Emperor Blood Sacrifice, break for me!"
A look of determination flashed in Di Tianxing's eyes. He knew the cost of this move, but at this moment, he had no other choice.
As Di Tianxing unleashed his Dragon Emperor True Body, an ancient and powerful Bloodline Power within him awakened. A drop of Dragon Emperor True Blood, resplendent like a ruby, slowly seeped from his glabella and floated in the air, instantly emitting a dazzling light that illuminated the entire Star Domain in a crimson glow.
This drop of True Blood contained the essence and power passed down through generations of the Dragon Emperor Clan. Once released, it would unleash world-destroying power.
Di Tianxing formed hand seals, integrating his entire true essence with this drop of True Blood. His entire body's Dragon power boiled, and his black Dragon scales glowed brightly, as if countless stars were flickering on them. He suddenly opened his massive mouth and spewed out a powerful torrent of Dragon Breath, roaring as it surged towards the Five Elements Sword Formation.
"Boom!" A deafening roar shook heaven and earth.
The torrent-like Dragon Breath exploded in the air, transforming into an extremely brilliant crimson light pillar that shot straight into the sky, fiercely impacting the Five Elements Sword Formation.
At this moment, the entire Star Domain seemed to tremble, space cracks spread, and stars dimmed.
The Five Elements Sword Formation violently vibrated under the impact of the crimson light pillar, its Sword Glows flickering erratically, as if they could collapse at any moment.
The next moment, Di Tianxing roared, and his figure instantly broke out of the Five Elements Sword Formation, traversing dozens of miles to appear before Li Mu, his giant Dragon claw fiercely striking down towards him.
"Die!"
Di Tianxing hated Li Mu to the core; a mere Refining Void cultivator had made him pay such a huge price. (End of Chapter)
