Chapter 486 Why not use so many methods? Xuandu nodded slightly upon hearing this.
" The Chaos Ancient Beast, carrying ten thousand mountains on its back, is indeed extraordinary."
"And what's the second method?"
Shen Ni continued.
Secondly, there's the defense provided by his tortoise shell.
" Azure Mystery's true form is the Chaos Black Tortoise, whose shell is the hardest in the Xuandi Heavenly Domain."
"I once witnessed him fighting a Chaos Beast from afar. That beast was Zenith Heaven Nine Heavens Peak, with claws strong enough to tear through the void. Yet, when it struck Azure Mystery's tortoise shell, it didn't even leave a white mark."
"The beast attacked for a long time but could not defeat Azure Mystery. Finally, it was exhausted and swallowed whole by Azure Mystery."
"I saw it from afar, and the image of the tortoise shell left a very deep impression on me."
Upon hearing this, Xuandu's eyes flickered slightly.
"Can a tortoise shell, so tough, withstand an attack from the Nine Heavens Peak?"
"It's a good treasure."
"And what's the third method?"
Shen Ni a deep breath, his voice turning somber.
"Thirdly, there is Azure Mystery's ' Xuanming Breath '."
"That is his Innate Divine Ability as Chaos Ancient Beast, Chaos Xuan Ming energy accumulated over billions of years. When spewed from his mouth, it can freeze the void, solidify the laws, and seal all things."
"Even with my cultivation at the Nine Heavens Peak back then, if I were hit head-on by that Xuanming Breath, I would probably be frozen for a moment."
"That brief moment of stillness, in a life-or-death struggle, can be fatal."
After listening to Azure Mystery's three methods, Xuandu remained silent for a moment.
He then spoke, his voice calm.
" Ten Thousand Mountains Suppression, Defensive Tortoise Shell, Xuanming Breath."
"It's well-rounded in both offense and defense, with no obvious weaknesses."
"What about the Green Wood of the Southern Border?"
Shen Ni sorted out his thoughts and continued.
" The Green Wood attained enlightenment through the Chaos Spiritual Root; its true form is a Sky-Reaching Divine Tree named ' Azure Emperor Wood '."
"Legend has it that the Azure Emperor Wood was the first Spirit Root born in the Chaos at the Primordial Chaos time, making it three times more ancient than the Innate Spiritual Root of the Great Wilderness."
" The Green Wood takes root in the Southern Border, its branches and leaves covering billions of miles of void, its roots penetrating deep into the depths of Chaos, drawing upon the Chaos Origin."
"His methods are completely different from Azure Mystery's."
"Firstly, there is his ' Ten Thousand Woods Domain '."
"The roots of the Green Wood spread across billions of miles of void in the Southern Border, with its roots reaching into every inch of the void."
"Within his domain, he is the ruler. Any being that steps into the Southern Border will be suppressed, bound, or even assimilated by his aura."
"If anyone ventures into the core of the Southern Border without his permission, they will be entangled by his countless roots until their very essence and spirit are completely drained."
"Back then, a Chaos Beast at the eighth level of the Zenith Heaven mistakenly entered the depths of the Southern Border and was drained of its life force in just three days."
"Although I have never been trapped by that Ten Thousand Woods Domain, I have sensed its aura from afar, and it is indeed terrifying."
Xuandu nodded slightly upon hearing this.
"Domain suppression is indeed troublesome."
"And what's the second method?"
The Shen Ni the Dao.
"Secondly, it is his ' Azure Emperor Creation '."
"As Chaos Spiritual Root, Green Wood possesses extremely powerful Creation Power within its origin."
"He can continuously repair himself during battle. Even if he is seriously injured, as long as his roots are still intact, he can recover very quickly by absorbing the Chaos Origin."
"Even those whose cultivation is slightly higher than his will be worn down and killed in a prolonged battle with him."
"Because he can't beat you, but he can outlast you."
Upon hearing this, Xuandu's lips curled into a smile.
"He can fight, heal, and even regenerate health; this Green Wood is quite a troublesome character."
"And what's the third method?"
Shen Ni's voice was slightly deep.
Thirdly, there is his " Falling Leaves Whisper ".
"That's Green Wood's Innate Divine Ability. Using billions of branches and leaves as blades and the Chaos Origin as a guide, it transforms into countless wooden swords that blot out the Sky Dome and seal off all escape routes."
"Once the Falling Leaves Whisper begins, it is like a torrential downpour, boundless and endless. Each fallen leaf carries the power of the laws of the Chaos Spiritual Root. Even a cultivator at the Zenith Heaven Nine Heavens would have their cultivation forcibly diminished if trapped by the rain of fallen leaves."
"Because every fallen leaf is devouring the Chaos Origin of the one it strikes."
"Legend has it that a being who had reached the Half-Step Hunyuan Taiji once sought to seize the Southern Border and fought a great battle with Green Wood."
"That battle was so fierce that the heavens and earth collapsed and the void shattered."
" Green Wood held out against that being for a long time before finally unleashing ' Falling Leaves Whisper ' to force him back."
"Although we failed to kill him, we managed to wound him and make him flee, never daring to set foot in the Southern Border again."
After listening to Green Wood's three methods, Xuandu remained silent for a moment.
" The Ten Thousand Woods Domain, the Azure Emperor Creation, the Falling Leaves Whisper."
"This is an opponent who can fight, wear down, and inflict damage; they are indeed not easy to deal with."
"What about the Taixu in the Eastern Border?"
Upon hearing Shen Ni, Shen Ni's expression turned slightly serious.
Deep within those blood-gold eyes, the light flickered uncertainly, as if even someone of his stature was shrouded in mystery regarding the Taixu.
"Master, I know the least about Taixu."
"He resides in the Eastern Border, yet no one has ever truly witnessed him in action, and those who have even seen his true face are few and far between."
"Some say he was the remnant soul of a Chaos Demon God, who took the name ' Taixu ' and cultivated the Dao of the Void."
"Some say that he is not a native of this Heavenly Domain at all, but rather a wanderer who drifted here from the far Chaos Depths."
"There are many rumors, but none of them are confirmed."
"Back when I was roaming freely in the Xuandi Heavenly Domain, I once thought of going to the Eastern Border to explore the true nature of the Taixu."
"But whenever I approach the edge of the Eastern Border, I sense a very faint repulsive force."
"The repulsive force wasn't strong, but it carried a fluctuation that made even the disciple's innate Fierce and Malevolent Qi uneasy."
"After careful consideration, I have decided not to set foot in the Eastern Border."
"Because this disciple has a vague feeling that Taixu is probably more troublesome than Azure Mystery and Green Wood."
After listening to Shen Ni Ni's description of Taixu, Xuandu Du fell silent.
He stood with his hands behind his back on the stone platform, a flickering light deep within his calm eyes.
After a moment, he spoke.
" Azure Mystery, Green Wood, Taixu."
"These three beings who are at the Half-Step Hunyuan Taiji do indeed each possess unique skills and foundations."
" Azure Mystery is good at both offense and defense, Green Wood is both resilient and durable, Taixu is unfathomable."
"If I can subdue them one by one, it will be enough for me to cross that final line."
He paused, his voice turning somber.
"It seems I made the right choice coming to the Xuandi Heavenly Domain."
Shen Ni was slightly shaken upon hearing this.
He gazed at Xuandu, at that young yet composed face, at those eyes that were as calm as an ancient well yet concealed a sharp edge.
He couldn't help but ask.
"Master, do you really intend to... subdue those three beings?"
Xuandu turned his head and looked at him.
Deep within those calm eyes, however, a very faint light was flickering.
Why not?
" This Master accepts a disciple, he never considers their background."
"Whether it's Chaos Ancient Beast, Chaos Spiritual Root, or even the Taixu of the Eastern Border, as long as he is willing to become my disciple, I will accept This Master."
"Not to mention..."
He paused, and a slow smile crept onto his lips.
"In this Xuandi Heavenly Domain, only these three are worthy of This Master attention."
