Ying Xian Protects the Dao

But from a great distance, extremely powerful fluctuations of Dao Origin emanated, terrifying beyond measure.

The fluctuation contained not just one aura, but several distinct Dao Origin intertwined and collided, unleashing terrifying light capable of tearing the heavens apart.

At the point of impact, golden light and lightning intertwined, Sword Qi and Dao Origin crisscrossed, dyeing half the sky into a magnificent yet terrifying chaos.

Chen Lingxi's pupils contracted slightly. He recognized two of the auras.

One was the Heavenly Decline Method Dao Origin of Emperor Daye Ying Xian the Great Cause, which was deep and vast, like an abyss and the sea, carrying a strange power that caused all things to decay; the other was more domineering and more intense, like a bright sun hanging in the sky, wanting to burn and melt everything.

"That's... Immortal Husk?" A thought suddenly flashed through Chen Lingxi's mind.

"Not bad." Bai Lingze smiled. "That Immortal Husk is in Ying Xian's hands."

If Ying Xian hadn't been trapped, I would have been somewhat hesitant to attack you in this avatar.

I don't know why Ying Xian would protect you. Although I'm not afraid of him, I don't want to be ambushed by him while I'm fighting you."

He paused, his gaze returning to Chen Lingxi, the smile in his eyes growing even more composed, "But now, Ying Xian entangled with Zhao Duanxuan and has no time to attend to you."

This is the perfect opportunity for me to kill you.

Chen Lingxi immediately understood.

It seems that many powerful figures in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm have made a move against the Emperor Daye.

Those Dao Foundation Realm Incarnations who descended to this world originally fought and attacked each other individually, but after the battle in Nanche Prefectural City, they all probably understood a principle: if they did not join forces, in individual battles, apart from Zhao Duanxuan, probably no one could be a match for Ying Xian.

And so, we have the situation we have today.

Led by Zhao Duanxuan, the Xi Family forces, along with several other powerful individuals coveting the Immortal Husk, launched an attack on Ying Xian.

Even from such a great distance, Chen Lingxi could still sense the intense Dao Origin fluctuations emanating from the distant horizon.

At the same time, a strong radiance shone forth, just like the sun.

Chen Lingxi raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Lingze again.

Bai Lingze had turned around, his eyes blazing with a chilling murderous intent.

He spread his arms wide, and with a sudden gust of wind, endless golden sound waves burst forth from his body.

The hymn of Divine Hymn reached its peak at this moment, as if hundreds of gods were chanting an ancient war song at the same time. The hymn transformed into profound truths and into a tangible force of suppression, pressing down on Chen Lingxi from all directions.

At this moment, the profound and vast Dao Origin fluctuations surrounding him also unleashed themselves without reservation.

The Dao Origin surged like a tide, and the sound waves were like the sea, stirring up the clouds within a hundred miles into a boiling turmoil.

He stood in the very center of that golden sound wave, his robes fluttering, looking as dignified as an immortal!

Then, he suddenly struck out with his palm.

Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and the shadows of the mountains loomed. Amidst the surging golden sound waves, a Jade Platform phantom about a hundred feet tall hung in the air, carrying a terrifying power to suppress all things, and pressed down on Chen Lingxi.

The oppressive force was too immense and too domineering, causing the protective lightning around his body to flicker violently!

Bai Lingze immediately activated his Divine Ability — the Jade Platform Seal!

The Jade Platform was incredibly solid, its entire body constructed from the purest jade-colored Dao Origin!

Chen Lingxi raised her head and looked at the illusory Jade Platform platform that blotted out the sky, but there was no fear in her eyes.

He took a deep breath, and the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform within his body suddenly lit up at that moment.

On the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade, Bai Lingze's name suddenly lit up.

An indescribable ancient aura emanated from the spirit jade, penetrating the Hongdong Bag, penetrating his Qi Sea, and completely merging with his spiritual Qi!

Mysterious power surged forth continuously!

With the immense power of this Cauldron Vessel, Chen Lingxi felt his spiritual energy suddenly become incredibly abundant!

The spiritual energy was more than three times thicker!

At the same time, his flesh, bones, and skin also surged wildly under the blessing of the Cauldron Vessel's power, and his physical strength increased as well!

Within the Inner Divine Palace of Chen Lingxi's body, the illusory figure of the Heaven-Inviting Great Sage Yaotian suddenly opened his eyes, and the Great Sage Aura swept out in all directions!

"The Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade is indeed extraordinary."

Chen Lingxi activated the Cloud-Riding Method, and a dazzling pale golden lightning suddenly erupted from the azure clouds beneath his feet. This Cloud-Riding Method, which had already reached a state of the Mystic Realm, increased in speed under the support of the great power of the Cauldron Vessel, becoming as fast as a real thunderbolt piercing the sky.

He vanished from his spot in a flash, narrowly avoiding the direct hit of the Jade Platform Seal.

The Jade Platform Seal grazed his robes and crashed down, shattering the cliff he had just been standing on into pieces. Shards flew like rain, and dust billowed into the sky!

Using the extreme speed of the Wonder-Realm Cloud-Riding Method, Chen Lingxi weaved and leaped through the rubble and dust, rising up and advancing instead of retreating, heading straight for Bai Lingze!

His aura collided with Bai Lingze's, and the two terrifying auras collided in the Void, creating a visible ripple of energy that spread wildly in all directions.

Where the ripples passed, the sea of clouds was shaken apart, the mountain peaks trembled, and even the churning clouds in the sky were torn open with a huge hole.

At the same time, another beam of sword light burst forth.

Chen Lingxi pointed his fingers like a sword, and at his fingertips, a sword light purely constructed of lightning was flashing wildly!

It is the Thunder-Wielding Heavenly King Sword!

This killing technique of the Thunder-Hiding Sword Canon became incomparably intense and domineering under the enhancement of the great power of the Cauldron Vessel.

As the sword light took shape, an incomparably sharp sword intent soared into the sky, shattering the Divine Hymn hymn emanating from Bai Lingze into pieces!

The two sword lights collided!

Thunder and jade light intertwined, sword intent and Dao Origin clashed, and a sky-covering halo exploded at the very center of the collision.

Within that halo, countless fine bolts of lightning and jade-colored runes clashed and dissolved each other, producing a series of earth-shattering explosions.

In this brief exchange, the Thunder King's sword light suddenly dissipated, and the remaining power of Bai Lingze's Jade Platform Seal Dao Origin was also severed by Chen Lingxi's sword, losing most of it.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Lingxi Heaven-Inviting Might. The Golden Essence Flower above his head, as large as a mountain, bloomed to its fullest extent at this moment, and the surging essence rushed into his limbs and bones like a flood bursting its banks.

He stepped forward, his right fist clenched, and the phantom of the Great Heaven-Inviting Great Sage behind him also clenched his fist and slammed it out!

This punch was imbued with the Great Sage Aura, the power of Cauldron Vessel, and all of Chen Lingxi's own spiritual energy. Lightning and golden light intertwined and swirled on the fist, making the punch as powerful as a dragon!

With a single punch, Bai Lingze's already dwindling Jade Platform Seal Dao Origin was completely shattered, sending jade-colored light fragments flying like rain.

Bai Lingze frowned slightly, probably not expecting Chen Lingxi to be able to withstand his Divine Ability without being defeated.

With a flick of his sleeve, several more ripples of Divine Hymn emanated from him and surged toward Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi Dao Platform trembled, as if he were injured, but he used the force of the recoil to float backwards for hundreds of feet, landing on a mountain peak that was still trembling.

"We can't beat them."

Chen Lingxi then fled.

With the Cloud-Riding Method activated to its fullest extent, the azure cloud, interspersed with pale golden lightning, ripped through the sky like a real bolt of lightning, hurtling towards the distance.

The direction he was heading was precisely where the Storm Immortal Pivot was located high in the heavens!

Bai Lingze's spirit still lingers in Chen Lingxi.

The sound waves of the Divine Hymn enveloped an area of hundreds of miles like an invisible net, locking onto Chen Lingxi's aura.

Chen Lingxi at an extremely fast speed.

Bai Lingze's face showed surprise.

He watched the pale golden lightning streak fly further and further away, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He probably never imagined that this lowly cultivator, whom he regarded as an ant, could actually escape unscathed from his Jade Platform Seal's great Divine Ability, and even have the strength to flee?

But then he realized what was going on.

"It's that Slaying-Force Cauldron."

He scoffed inwardly, "If we were at the same cultivation level, with this Cauldron Vessel to aid us, you might actually be able to contend with me!"

"It's a pity that you will die today and will never be able to reach the Dao Foundation Realm!"

Bai Lingze, full of fierce energy, pursued them at an extreme speed.

There was no cloud beneath his feet, nor any light of escape; he simply walked through the air, each step covering hundreds of feet.

The sonic waves of Divine Hymn surrounding him enveloped him like an invisible barrier, completely shutting out the wind and clouds of the sky.

Chen Lingxi her teeth and fled. "Fortunately, we are not far from the Storm Immortal Pivot."

I only need to hold on until I reach that high heaven, where the ten thousand feet will disappear, and I will fall into that Storm Immortal Pivot.

If Bai Lingze dares to pursue again, that avatar will be reduced to dust.

Chen Lingxi pondered these thoughts.

But Bai Lingze's speed was just too fast!

Dao Foundation Realm cultivators are already extraordinary, let alone Bai Lingze, who is no ordinary Dao Foundation Early Stage cultivator. He ranks third on the Immortal Ranking, even higher than Yu Jiangwei, who possesses Substitute Dao Body Grand Divine Ability.

This shows that he has a very deep foundation and never uses his full strength on ordinary days.

Even with the triple boost from the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade and the extreme speed of the Wonder-Realm Cloud-Riding Method, his speed in pursuing Chen Lingxi Chen Lingxi was still no less than Chen Lingxi's.

Even when Bai Lingze's lips curled into a slight smile.

The sonic waves emanating from him, which Divine Hymn, suddenly became high-pitched and rapid.

The whisper of the divine being in his ear suddenly became faster and more urgent!

With the encouragement of such praise, Bai Lingze's speed suddenly increased.

At this speed, it would only take a dozen or so breaths to catch up with Chen Lingxi.

Chen Lingxi frowned, her mind racing.

Although he has now cultivated the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform and is blessed by the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade, he is still not strong enough to directly confront Bai Lingze's avatar.

Just now, he shattered the Jade Platform Seal with the Thunder-Wielding Heavenly King Sword and shattered the remaining Dao Origin with a punch from the Great Sage. He seemed very powerful, but in fact, he had already exhausted most of his spiritual energy.

At this moment, within the Qi Sea, although the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform was still slowly rotating, the rate at which spiritual Qi recovered could not keep up with the rate at which it was consumed.

"Does this mean we have to shatter the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform to escape?"

A cultivator achieves the Dao Platform, and the Dao Platform itself holds Mystery Mechanism.

If one is determined to fight to the death, shattering the Dao Platform and detonating all the power of the Dao Platform that has not yet fully condensed will grant an explosive boost of spiritual energy, making it exceptionally powerful.

This is a true method of fighting for one's life, a cultivator's last struggle in a desperate situation.

"However... if my Dao Platform crumbles, I fear I will lose my chance to establish Dao Foundation Realm."

I've waited so long, begged for the Divine Ability Jade, begged for the Thunder-Prison Spirit Branch, and obtained the fortuitous opportunity of the Storm Immortal Pivot... and now I'm just one step away from the final step.

If this Dao Platform collapses, everything will be for naught.

In a short time, Chen Lingxi's thoughts were racing.

He suddenly remembered the Lake Immortal Pivot.

"If I were to shatter the Dao Platform and escape, and then return to the Lake Immortal Pivot by the lake, I wonder if it would be able to heal my injuries."

The thought lingered in his mind.

Just then, Bai Lingze's leisurely voice came from behind.

"If I'm going to kill you, you won't escape."

Can't escape?

Chen Lingxi her lips and gritted her teeth.

He sensed the terrifying aura drawing ever closer behind him, and the overwhelming sonic waves of Divine Hymn, and an indescribable resolve welled up within him.

His Dao Platform rotated, and with just a thought, the Dragon-Stripping Dao Platform would crumble.

Just as Chen Lingxi was about to shatter the Dao Platform, a huge golden face suddenly broke through the clouds in the Void!

The man's face was a hundred feet long, with an extremely heroic and majestic appearance. His sword-like eyebrows reached his temples, and his eyes were like stars. He looked like a towering statue made of pure gold that had fallen from the sky.

The eyes of the human face still flickered with firelight; they were two burning, wildly spinning golden nebulae.

The nebula seemed to contain extremely mysterious spiritual energy, and also seemed to be filled with an indescribable ancient aura.

It was none other than Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Great Ye Dynasty!

"Ying Xian?"

Bai Lingze's expression changed drastically.

He could clearly sense that the enormous human face was not a physical entity, but a projection of magic, just like the power sealed within the Golden Finger Bone he had seen before.

Even as a projection, the oppressive force contained within this power was far more terrifying and domineering than that sealed within the previous finger bone.

And at this moment!

Emperor Daye slammed his hand down!

The hundred-foot-tall human face suspended in the Void suddenly emitted a dazzling golden beam of light from its right eye.

As the pillar of light appeared, endless gray-white mist burst forth from it, churning and transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, slamming down on Bai Lingze.

That palm contained an extremely dense amount of Heavenly Decline Method power!

Wherever the gray-white mist passed, the clouds decayed, the winds rotted, and even the sunlight hanging high in the sky was dimmed by the strange decaying power that fell upon the mist.

Bai Lingze suddenly stopped.

He had no choice but to stop his pursuit of Chen Lingxi and push the sonic waves of the Divine Hymn surrounding him to their limit.

Golden sound waves surged toward the grayish-white palm like a tsunami. The sound waves contained extremely pure jade-colored Dao Origin, like an invisible divine sword, about to shatter the palm!

But to his astonishment, he discovered...

His invincible Divine Hymn, however powerful, vanished like mud into the sea before the gray mist of that Heavenly Decline Method!

The moment the gray-white mist touched the sound waves, the sound waves began to age, disintegrate, and dissipate in a strange way.

Just as a divine sword, after being washed away by the Long River of time for millions of years, will eventually turn into scrap metal.

Emperor Daye slammed his palm down, instantly transforming it into thick mist that enveloped Bai Lingze.

The Heavenly Decline Method was operating within that mist!

The mist trapped Bai Lingze like an invisible cage. As the mist surged, the power of decay rushed towards him from all directions like a tide, trying to corrupt and annihilate his avatar along with the Divine Hymn sound waves surrounding him!

Bai Lingze sneered, "You can't even save yourself, yet you dare to save others?"

Although he was trapped in the misty cage of the Heavenly Decline Method, his Divine Sense could still perceive the movements of the outside world.

He clearly sensed that the true form of Emperor Daye Ying Xian of the Great Ye Dynasty was currently tens of thousands of miles away, engaged in a fierce battle with Zhao Duanxuan and others.

Ying Xian stretched thin fighting against many opponents, yet he dared to spare his attention and expend enormous resources to save this insignificant ant?

Chen Lingxi thought to himself, "Emperor Daye truly keeps his word; even now, he is still protecting me."

Without hesitation, he went straight to the Storm Immortal Pivot!

He pushed the Cloud-Riding Method beneath his feet to its limit, and the pale golden lightning bolt ripped through the sky like a real thunderbolt, hurtling towards the heavens.
