The Final Battle at Heaven Gate Sea

Although Liu Chengfeng did not have such a long period of time to nurture this sword, he had already sealed a natal sword light into the Dao Platform from the moment he projected it here, refining it day and night with his unique Swordcourt Peak technique.

Although only a few months have passed, the Killing Power contained in that sword light has been refined to a level that gives him confidence.

At this moment, facing Chen Lingxi's overwhelming Thunder-Prison Heaven, facing the Longevity Bridge crashing towards him, and facing the Great Sage Treasure Form hanging high behind Chen Lingxi, he showed no fear whatsoever.

He took a deep breath, Dao Platform spun wildly. On the Profound Root, a Dao fruit suddenly shone with dazzling light.

He opened his mouth and spat it out.

A beam of sword light flew out of his mouth.

The next moment, a dazzling azure light suddenly shone on the sword light, as if a dragon that had been sleeping for thousands of years had suddenly opened its eyes!

"Sing!"

A faint dragon's roar emanated from the sword light.

The dragon's roar was deep and resonant, like a slumbering dragon awakened from its deepest abyss, letting out a dissatisfied howl.

But when the dragon's roar passed, the clouds in the Void were shaken into nothingness, and the Weiji Thunderlight that was surging toward Liu Chengfeng also paused slightly in the face of this deep dragon's roar.

The sword light grew longer in the wind.

It transformed from the size of a silver needle into a three-foot-long Azure Edge Method, and then from the three-foot-long Azure Edge Method into a phantom image of a dragon stretching across the sky.

The dragon was constructed entirely from the purest sword intent, its scales and claws flying, lifelike. Each dragon scale was a Sword Qi condensed to the extreme, and each dragon whisker was a wisp of incomparably sharp murderous intent.

After three hundred years of dormancy, the dragon pierces the sea of clouds with a single sword.

Although Liu Chengfeng's sword strike had only been nurtured for a few months, the Killing Power it contained was enough to make even cultivators at the same Dao Foundation Realm tremble with fear.

With a single sword strike, the azure dragon phantom roared and crashed towards Chen Lingxi. Wherever the azure dragon passed, visible cracks were torn in the Void, the edges of which gleamed with a pale blue Sword-Ray.

Chen Lingxi stared at the roaring azure dragon phantom, his eyes suddenly blazing with lightning.

"A fine sword," he exclaimed sincerely, then stepped forward.

The Heaven-Concealing Great Sage behind him also stepped forward at this moment, unleashing Heaven-Inviting Might that surged forth and collided head-on with the sword intent emanating from the illusory dragon, creating countless ripples in the Void.

Add to that the Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool that just leaped away!

Two terrifying forces collided in the Void.

The Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool and the Hidden Dragon Sword Light intertwined and entwined, while the Unfinished Thunder and the Azure Sword Qi eroded each other, exploding into clusters of light that blotted out the sky.

The azure dragon phantom's scales shattered inch by inch under the thunderous onslaught of the Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool, its sword intent transforming into countless specks of light.

However, the Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool also trembled violently under the impact of the Azure Dragon's phantom, and the lightning was about to collapse.

After a few breaths of stalemate, the azure dragon phantom finally let out a reluctant dragon roar. Its massive body shattered under the last bolt of lightning from the Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool, turning into countless azure light fragments that scattered and drifted into the Void.

Liu Chengfeng stood at a distance, watching the figure in black robes stepping out of the Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool, a hint of undisguised astonishment flashing in his narrow eyes.

Although his Hidden Dragon Cry Sword had only been nurtured for a few months, the Killing Power it contained was extraordinary.

He originally thought that even if this sword strike couldn't seriously injure Chen Lingxi, it would at least force him into a panic, giving him a moment to catch his breath.

However, Chen Lingxi did not retreat. Instead, he directly confronted him, using the Immortal-Calamity Thunder Pool Dragon Sword Light.

"This person has only just entered the Dao Foundation Realm, yet his Thunder-Prison Heaven Divine Ability has already reached such a level. His Killing Power is outstanding even among the many disciples of Thunder Pool."

Liu Chengfeng silently recited the words in his heart, the knowing look in his eyes growing even stronger.

At that very moment, amidst the dazzling lightning, another Sword Qi split off and slashed down.

Liu Chengfeng unleashed the Hidden Dragon Cry Divine Ability, but his Dao Platform Dao Origin was already completely depleted. In his haste, he used the remaining Dao Origin to support a sword aura!

Chen Lingxi's sword light and lightning struck simultaneously, the sword energy colliding with the Thunderclap Sword Light, enveloping his entire body in the terrifying lightning.

The outline of Liu Chengfeng's avatar became increasingly blurred and transparent.

The sharp lightning and Sword Qi pierced straight into his body and into his Dao Platform!

With unimaginable destructive power, it utterly destroyed his Dao Platform, his Profound Root, and his avatar.

So he lost?

"Chen Lingxi's cultivation has improved greatly again, and his Killing Power is formidable... I'm afraid even without that Slaying-Force Cauldron, I would be no match for him!"

Liu Chengfeng took a deep breath.

When the lightning dissipated, the avatar was reduced to a mere phantom of light and shadow.

He stood there in the Void, then suddenly shook his head, realizing something. "Chen Lingxi concealed his cultivation; he has already Profound Root Transformation! He's just hiding it!"

Liu Chengfeng suddenly grinned and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, I will remember your defeat today."

If we meet again in the Great Xuanzhuo Realm, I, Liu, will surely repay this debt!

Chen Lingxi her head slightly, and with a flick of her finger, a Sword Qi soared out and pierced Liu Chengfeng's brow. Liu Chengfeng's illusory avatar shattered under this Sword Qi, turning into countless blue-green light fragments that scattered in the Void.

Chen Lingxi his sword, and the lightning around him slowly subsided.

He stood amidst the lingering shards of light, raised his head, and gazed towards the direction of the Heaven Gate Sea.

Liu Chengfeng is dead.

The death of this person means that a very troublesome variable has been removed from the competition for the Cauldron Vessel.

On the Enemy-Slaying Spirit Jade, Liu Chengfeng's name had completely disappeared, leaving only a faint, ancient aura that still flowed slowly.

Chen Lingxi a deep breath, and the lightning-streaked azure cloud beneath his feet silently propelled him into the sky, flying swiftly towards the direction of the Heaven Gate Sea.

But at that very moment, a terrifying fluctuation suddenly came from the direction of the Heaven Gate Sea!

The initial fluctuation was extremely distant and minute, like a muffled thunderclap rolling across the horizon.

In the blink of an eye, it intensified, transforming into a deafening roar!

A long rainbow stretched down from the horizon.

Emperor Daye rode in his chariot, stepping on a rainbow of light.

He stood with his hands behind his back on the chariot, wearing an imperial crown and a black dragon robe.

The Dao Origin fluctuations of the Heavenly Decline Method and the Sundial Reversal Dial, which were all around him, were as deep and vast as the sea, pressing down in all directions.

Its power was so immense and domineering that it caused the surging waves of the Heaven Gate Sea to freeze!

Chen Lingxi stood on a cloud, gazing at the rainbow light and the figure in a black dragon robe on the chariot.

Emperor Daye remained calm, looking down at the Heaven Gate Sea from his high vantage point.

And from all around the Heaven Gate Sea, in the Void, another powerful aura emanated.

Chen Lingxi followed the aura and looked towards it. Then she saw a towering figure approaching from the distant horizon, his hands behind his back.

Zhao Duanxuan had no rainbow light on his body, nor any cloud beneath his feet; he simply walked through the air.

With each step taken, the Void beneath their feet exploded with a deafening roar, creating ripples.

The profound and vast Dao Origin fluctuations around him were much deeper than during the battle at Ancestral Mountain. Behind him, two illusory figures of profound Profound Root appeared and disappeared, exuding a terrifying pressure that made people suffocate.

He walked towards the Heaven Gate Sea with an expressionless face, his imposing presence reaching its peak.

Besides Zhao Duanxuan, the other powerful figures also made their appearance.

Yu Jiangwei stood on a blue cloud, the mysterious mist formed by the Substitute Dao Body Grand Divine Ability slowly flowing around her, obscuring her face, only revealing a pair of deep, abyss-like eyes.

Her aura was calm and serene; simply standing there, she resembled a sharp sword yet to be drawn.

Bai Lingze, dressed in spotless white robes, stood atop a Jade Platform suspended in Void.

The sounds of Divine Hymn lingered around him, two jade-colored lights slowly swirled in his eyes, and a calm smile played on his lips.

Emperor Daye sat upright on the chariot, his gaze sweeping over the powerful figures, a hint of weariness suddenly appearing in his eyes.

He spoke softly, "The Cauldron Vessel belongs to my Cave Heaven, and you outsiders have no right to lay a finger on it."

Zhao Duanxuan stood proudly in the clouds, his eyes gleaming with a powerful light, exuding an aura of grandeur.

He snapped his fingers, and a great sun rose slowly.

The sun was so intense and dazzling that it was as if a real sun had fallen from the sky and hung in the Void behind him, radiating a terrifying heat that could scorch everything.

His expression was calm, and his aura was as dignified as the sun itself, shining brightly and impossible to look directly at.

Then he raised his hand and pulled a mountain out of Void!

That mountain was not a mirage, but a real, majestic mountain!

The mountain was entirely dark gold in color, covered with countless intricate and ancient runes. These runes were layered upon each other, like a spider web covering the entire mountain, exuding a terrifying pressure that made people's breath suffocate—the mountain was actually an extremely precious Spirit Artifact!

With the blessing of this Spirit Artifact, Zhao Duanxuan's aura became even more magnificent and terrifying, subtly overshadowing Emperor Daye!

He stepped forward, but instead of vying for the complete Cauldron Vessel emanating an ancient aura from beneath the Heaven Gate Sea, he stared directly at Emperor Daye on the chariot, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

"A mere cultivator at the Qi-Less Grotto-Heaven, Dao Foundation Middle Stage, and possessing such combat prowess—truly a prodigy, igniting my... fighting spirit." Zhao Duanxuan spoke slowly, his words echoing like a resounding bell throughout the world. "Ying Xian, fight me!"

Emperor Daye frowned, and golden flames suddenly flickered in his eyes.

They probably never expected that Zhao Duanxuan's Spirit Artifact would be so powerful.

The mountain-shaped Spirit Artifact hovered behind Zhao Duanxuan, its brilliance mirroring the dazzling sun, causing Zhao Duanxuan's aura to surge considerably.

Outside the Void where he confronted Emperor Daye, several other powerful figures were eyeing the Cauldron Vessel covetously.

Yu Jiangwei stood above the blue clouds, her body surrounded by swirling mist, her gaze piercing through the churning seawater and landing on the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree.

A glint of light flickered in his eyes; he was clearly plotting something.

Bai Lingze stood on the Jade Platform, his smile undiminished, but his gaze was fixed on the Dao-Seizing Ancient Tree.

This person is extremely cunning. Although he was defeated by Chen Lingxi that day, he managed to escape by taking advantage of his hidden strength.

He didn't rush to make a move at this moment, but waited silently.

There's also Bai Lingze, who has recovered from her injuries.

Compared to the battle at Ancestral Mountain, his aura was even more profound, and the Xianchan Dao emanating from his body was even more harmonious and unimpeded.

It was probably after that battle that he gained something new, and his cultivation improved again.

Besides these, there is another powerful figure from the Calamity Sea named Ling Shangyou.

This person, suspended in the Void, was even stronger than Luan Shu, who was sitting cross-legged on the black lotus platform. The Calamity Sea Dao Origin around him surged silently like an undercurrent.

Chi Jianshu Daoist Shurong of the Dao-Below Academy stood atop the Northern Dipper Jade Ruyi, his face cold and aloof, his body surrounded by starlight.

The powerful figures here each occupy their own territory, eyeing each other with predatory intent.

They are all waiting.

Wait until Zhao Duanxuan and Emperor Daye make their move, and until the struggle for the Cauldron Vessel truly begins.

At that very moment, lightning suddenly surged across the distant horizon!

At first, it was just a faint arc of light in the distance, but in an instant it intensified and transformed into a deafening thunderclap. A dazzling rainbow of lightning tore through the surging sea of clouds, trailing a long, pale golden tail, and crashed headlong toward the Heaven Gate Sea!

Zhao Duanxuan and Emperor Daye raised their heads almost simultaneously, looking at the bolt of lightning.

Yu Jiangwei, Bai Lingze, Chi Jianshu, Ling Shangyou all looked up at the same time, their gazes falling on the place where the lightning was converging.

As the lightning dissipated, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged from it.
