The Ten Tribulations of the Evil King could easily shatter Sword Separating the World, which surprised Wang Xuan.

If he had recognized this blade, he would have known that even in the high-martial world of Wind and Cloud, the Ten Tribulations of the Evil King was among the most formidable divine-demonic blade arts. There were other Ultimate Arts capable of standing alongside it, but Sword Separating the World was nowhere near that level.

He had understood this the moment he received the first strike. Although the opponent's blade art was incomparably evil, its power was genuinely formidable.

Facing the gray-black blade radiance sweeping toward him once more, Wang Xuan did not dare show the slightest carelessness with the Six Styles of Proud Cold.

The Snow-Drinking Mad Blade in his hand suddenly erupted with icy blade light hundreds of zhang long. The amplification of the True Martial Seven-Section Formation flooded into the blade like a tide. As he unleashed the Six Styles of Proud Cold, its power soared, surpassing Yin Mingchen's by an unknown amount.

The two blade radiances collided with a resounding boom. Thunderous explosions rang through the heavens as violent force blasted in every direction. It was as if a world-destroying hurricane had swept across the sky above the entire city. Buildings trembled, dust filled the air, and shattered stones and tiles were sucked into the sky before being ground into powder by the shockwaves.

"This guy definitely isn't cultivating some ordinary martial art, but he's still not quite strong enough to take me down!" Wang Xuan's gaze swept over the city below, which was on the verge of collapse beneath the aftershocks of their battle. With a thought, his True Qi surged, and his entire body transformed into a silver-white divine dragon a hundred zhang long.

Its dragon horns were majestic, its whiskers fluttered, and its scales shone brilliantly. Every detail was lifelike, radiating dragon might that looked down upon heaven and earth.

This divine-demonic Dragon God Art, originating from Water Moon Cave Heaven, completely unleashed its terrifying power under the enhancement of the True Martial Seven-Section Formation.

The silver-white divine dragon circled through the sky, its tail sweeping through the clouds. Wherever it passed, the dark clouds were churned apart, revealing rifts one after another.

Then it transformed into a radiant silver-white phantom. Its dragon maw opened slightly, sharp fangs glinting with cold light. Accompanied by a dragon roar that shook heaven and earth, it charged fiercely toward the Great Evil King, which was tightly wrapped in gray-black resentment in the distance.

The dragon's roar pierced the clouds and shook heaven and earth.

All living creatures fell silent beneath that dragon might. Even the raging wind and dark clouds seemed to freeze.

In the city below, citizens hiding in their homes were so terrified by the dragon roar that they collapsed to the ground, believing a True Dragon had descended into the world.

"Ten Tribulations of the Evil King—Fourth Tribulation: Six Paths of Reincarnation!"

The Great Evil King's evil thoughts abruptly swelled. The gray-black resentment turned into clusters of evil flames that burned fiercely, while the vertical evil eye on its blade lit up with a glaring scarlet light, locking firmly onto the silver divine dragon.

The yin-fiend death energy accumulated within surged out like a burst dam. A terrifying blade intent that controlled life and death and condemned all things to endless reincarnation spread outward, instantly blanketing half the sky. Even the dark clouds and rumbling thunder fell silent.

The blade light suddenly split apart, becoming six heaven-shaking streaks of evil radiance. With piercing shrieks that tore through space, they twisted toward the silver divine dragon.

Each of the six evil radiances contained a different realm of reincarnation: the Heavenly Path, Human Path, Asura Path, Hell Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Animal Path. As all six paths emerged together, they seemed intent on casting their opponent into the abyss of endless reincarnation, never to be reborn.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The six evil radiances slashed fiercely against the silver divine dragon's scales, erupting in dazzling sparks. The ear-splitting sound of metal striking metal thundered through the air.

Yet the divine dragon's silver-white scales did not move in the slightest and remained completely unharmed. Faint spiritual light flowed over every scale, distributing the damage from the evil radiance evenly throughout its body. The extremely yin evil power collided with the Dragon God True Qi of supreme hardness and yang, producing sizzling sounds of scorching heat.

The divine dragon was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it reached the Great Evil King. Its sharp fangs bit viciously into the blade's body while its hard dragon horns crashed into Hoshino Taki's chest. Boundless dragon power surged forth, driving Hoshino Taki and the Great Evil King together toward the distant sea.

Hoshino Taki spat out a mouthful of black blood. His ribs cracked loudly, though it was impossible to tell how many had broken. Yet controlled by the Great Evil King, he could not feel pain at all. He still gripped the hilt tightly and refused to let go.

The moment they approached the sea surface, the silver divine dragon twisted sharply. As its dragon body churned, towering seawater was swept into the sky. Gale-force winds howled and gradually gathered into a colossal tornado that blotted out the sky, trapping the Great Evil King and Hoshino Taki firmly within.

Inside the tornado, seawater was like blades and violent wind like knives, constantly scouring their bodies.

The seawater twisted into countless sharp water blades, cutting across Hoshino Taki's body and leaving wound after wound deep enough to expose bone.

"Ten Tribulations of the Evil KingDemonic Brahma Prajna!"

"Ten Tribulations of the Evil KingMad Evil Overturning Heaven!"

Demonic Brahma Prajna was a mental killing technique. Invisible demonic sounds and evil thoughts quietly spread out, attempting to invade Wang Xuan's Sea of Consciousness and drag him into illusions, making him take up a weapon and kill himself. This move ignored physical defense and specifically targeted those with strong wills.

Those demonic sounds were like tens of thousands of voices whispering in his mind at once, bewitching, threatening, and tempting him by every possible means.

Even with Wang Xuan's concentrated mind, his heart could not help but tremble slightly, and a faint ripple appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.

If you enjoy this book, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

The Mad Evil Overturning Heaven that followed instantly spread out a domain. Within a hundred zhang, heaven and earth were reversed: forward became backward, left became right, and every attack would recoil upon its user. It sought to make Wang Xuan lose control and destroy his own defenses.

Within this domain, all sense of direction was distorted. Even light bent in strange ways.

Faced with the invisible mental evil thoughts of Demonic Brahma Prajna, Wang Xuan focused his mind and calmed his spirit, stabilizing his Sea of Consciousness.

The Mind-Absorbing Origin Return attribute of the Arhat Demon-Subduing Divine Skill operated at full force. His thoughts became clear as a mirror, and every distracting thought vanished.

With a thought, countless thoughts condensed into a wisdom sword and a precept blade. The sword intent was sharp, the blade momentum heavy. Within the intangible mental domain, he unleashed fierce sword and blade arts, shattering and suppressing the Great Evil King's evil thoughts and demonic sounds layer by layer.

The demonic sounds that had invaded his Sea of Consciousness were torn apart like thin paper beneath the wisdom sword. The evil thoughts that bewitched the heart were chopped to pieces beneath the precept blade.

His mind remained clear throughout, completely untouched by the illusions.

As for the law-reversal domain spread by Mad Evil Overturning Heaven, Wang Xuan relied solely on the Dragon God Art to endure it head-on.

Whether it was the sinister blade radiance slashed out by the Great Evil King or the icy blade light and sharp sword radiance that reversed back from his own attacks, all of it landed upon the silver-white divine dragon's scales.

The piercing sounds of metal striking metal rang out without end. Scorching sparks fell into the sea like rain, hissing as they struck the water and raising vast clouds of white steam that blanketed the entire sea surface.

The seawater evaporated into thick fog, reducing visibility to almost nothing within several miles. Only the silver-white divine dragon's figure flickered in and out of sight within the mist, like a deity.

After battling fiercely for half an hour, Wang Xuan's cultivation remained unfathomable.

The dragon-might suppression of the Dragon God Art, the peerless defense of Xiantian Qi, the nimble evasion of Free and Unfettered Wind, the precise predictions of the Emperor's Qi-Gazing Technique, the cycle of Calamity Power from the Black Heaven Book, and the continuous enhancement of the True Martial Seven-Section Formation—all these Divine Arts complemented one another perfectly. His attacks flowed as smoothly as clouds and running water, with no sign of fatigue.

True Qi circulated endlessly within him like an inexhaustible river. Every strike carried the force to topple mountains and split seas.

The Great Evil King, meanwhile, constantly communicated with the endless resentment between heaven and earth, transforming it into a supply of evil power for itself. Its endurance was equally boundless.

That resentment came from the Royal Clan's slaughter in this world over the past year. At this moment, it had all become nourishment for the Great Evil King.

The power of the Ten Tribulations of the Evil King showed no sign of weakening. Every slash was fiercer than the last, every move more vicious than the one before.

However, even though the Great Evil King continually drew upon the resentment of heaven and earth, crazily amplifying the Ten Tribulations of the Evil King, Hoshino Taki's body under its control could hardly bear the burden of such a divine-demonic battle.

During the clash, the invisible qi armor condensed around Hoshino Taki by the Nirvana of Fatal Demise technique was continuously battered by Wang Xuan's blade and sword qi. Its surface became covered in cracks before it finally exploded apart, turning into black qi that scattered through the sky.

The yin-evil death energy in his body was rapidly depleted amid the unceasing collisions, like sand slipping through an hourglass, growing less and less.

Cracks covered his body, and blood flowed everywhere. Some wounds were deep enough to reveal bone, and even the internal organs within, blackened by evil qi, could be seen.

But the Great Evil King had already lost control. It ignored the damage to the body entirely and continued to forcefully drive the Ten Tribulations of the Evil King against Wang Xuan.

Blade light and sword shadows intertwined as explosive force resounded without pause. Every strike made Hoshino Taki cough up blood, yet that evil blade refused to stop, as though this body did not belong to its master at all, but was merely a disposable tool.

Wang Xuan seized this opening and instantly closed in. The Snow-Drinking Mad Blade in his left hand was replaced with the dark God-Splitting Spike. True Qi poured from his fingertips, and using the swift technique of the Little Li Flying Dagger, he suddenly fired it.

Little Li Flying Dagger, Never Missing a Target.

The God-Splitting Spike shot forth like lightning, carrying a bone-chillingly cold aura, like a divine dragon exhaling the breath of death.

It drew a straight black line through the air, piercing through layers of dense resentful mist and accurately penetrating Hoshino Taki's brow.

Hoshino Taki's entire body stiffened. Before he could even scream, his pupils instantly lost focus. Life left his body, and he fell straight down.

Even though the Great Evil King desperately urged its evil power, trying to forcibly control this already dead body, it was useless.

The dead body was like a bucket with its bottom missing. No matter how much evil power was poured into it, it leaked straight out. It could not be maintained at all.

Without the foundation of a physical body, the Great Evil King could not act either. Its evil power rapidly collapsed, and the blood-red light on the blade visibly dimmed.

The Great Evil King fell into the sea along with Hoshino Taki's corpse. The blade let out an unwilling hum in midair, as if it were screaming and roaring.

Wang Xuan snorted coldly and pressed his hand downward through the air, activating the Energy Absorption Technique with full force.

An invisible suction force surged from his palm, stopping the corpse that was about to fall.

The Great Evil King, on the other hand, trembled violently beneath the sudden suction. Ancient evil runes along its blade spine flickered with bloody light, like an evil dragon making its final struggle.
