Taixuan Hall.
The Taixuan Heavenly Palace.
Rumble...!
Amid tremendous rumbling that seemed as though it would never cease, scorching black flames enveloped the entire half of the Heavenly Palace where Lü Daoxuan stood.
At this moment, only a mass of azure sword light within a radius of just over ten feet around Lü Daoxuan was still struggling to withstand the flames.
As Zhao Xuantan held Lü Daoxuan's sword intent at bay, he said thoughtfully:
"I never expected this. I thought Yuyangzi represented the ultimate realm of the Taixuan Sect inheritance. To think the Five Eccentrics of Qingxuan found a strongest successor such as you."
"It seems they held something back when Sword Forging made my sword all those years ago."
Boom! Boom, boom...!
Then, amid a deafening explosion, the sword light around Lü Daoxuan suddenly began spreading incessantly through the area covered by the Black Blazing Flame, like the roots of an ancient tree.
Boom...!!
Finally, with a tremendous crash, the mass of azure sword light around Lü Daoxuan suddenly expanded from a radius of ten feet to a radius of a hundred feet.
At the same time, slender streaks of sword light once again spread little by little through the surrounding Black Blazing Flame, like the roots of an ancient tree.
Then Lü Daoxuan, whose aura seemed to have recovered considerably, looked at Zhao Xuantan and said with a slight lift of his lips:
"This old man is no great talent. I am indeed somewhat stronger than that traitor Yuyangzi, but I will never be the strongest successor to the Taixuan inheritance."
Zhao Xuantan did not argue with Lü Daoxuan. He merely beckoned lightly and said:
"The heart aperture in this man's possession is no longer of use to the Demon Mother's awakening. Kill him without pardon."
