Nangong Huang stared at Chu Kuangren in disbelief.
One strike.
He had been forced back by just one strike!
He had never imagined such a situation. He drew a deep breath and looked at Chu Kuangren before him with utmost gravity.
"You're stronger than I imagined, but if you think this is enough to make you the Mystic Heaven Sect's eldest senior brother, you're wrong!!"
"Have a taste of this!!"
"Primal Chaos Golden Light!" Spiritual power surged within Nangong Huang, and a layer of mysterious golden light, flowing with Dao patterns, appeared over his body.
Chu Kuangren's eyes lit up.
"The Primal Chaos Golden Light Art!"
The Mystic Heaven Sect had three great Sage techniques.
The Purple Star Emperor Heaven Sword Art, the Nine Suns Divine Art, and the Primal Chaos Golden Light Art.
Among them, the Primal Chaos Golden Light Art allowed one to master a divine ability called Primal Chaos Golden Light. This divine ability could be used for both offense and defense and was exceedingly profound.
Covered in golden light and holding the Yuanhong Saint Sword, Nangong Huang exuded an immensely powerful aura. He suddenly slashed, and the golden light covering his body erupted with it.
Golden light enveloped the sword qi as it slashed toward Chu Kuangren.
"Human Mountain Seal Art!"
Chu Kuangren laughed heartily.
A mysterious Daoist rhyme flowed from his body, and the surrounding earth qi roared.
He formed a mystic hand seal, and his spiritual power gushed forth, transforming into a Primordial Divine Mountain that stretched across their path. The terrifying mountain smashed straight into the golden sword qi.
An explosion thundered, shaking the space around them.
The scattered force blasted pits and sword scars into the ground.
Chu Kuangren and Nangong Huang bore the brunt of it, and both were driven back.
"What technique is this?"
Having witnessed the Human Mountain Seal Art for the first time, Nangong Huang's heart trembled.
But in the next instant, Chu Kuangren was already beside him. Streams of dark-yellow force churned in his palm as he unleashed the Human Mountain Seal Art again.
The terrifying impact blasted apart the golden light covering Nangong Huang with a boom, and cracking sounds rang out from his bones.
Pfft...
Nangong Huang spat blood as he was sent flying backward.
Chu Kuangren stood before Nangong Huang with his hands behind his back, peerless in white robes, his bearing captivating, lofty as a deity.
"So... so strong!"
"He actually broke through the Primal Chaos Golden Light!!"
"All these years, aside from those renowned cultivation experts, even the Daoist Seeds haven't been able to break Senior Brother Nangong's golden light!"
"To think this Chu Kuangren is already so powerful."
"What captivating grace. It truly makes one yearn for him."
Standing a short distance from Nangong Huang, Chu Kuangren smiled faintly. "Junior Brother Nangong, you're... a little different from what I imagined."
"What do you mean?"
"You're a little worse than I imagined."
"You..."
Nangong Huang's expression darkened, and his fury became uncontrollable.
The spiritual power within him circulated wildly as he pushed it to its utmost limit. His eyes suddenly blazed with dazzling divine light, and a mysterious Daoist rhyme spread.
"Chu Kuangren, take my strongest move!"
"Yin-Yang Divine Light!"
Yin-Yang Divine Light was the innate divine ability of the Yin-Yang Divine Eyes. Its divine light manifested the Creation Dao of yin and yang and was incomparably profound. When used to attack an enemy, even a cultivator whose cultivation realm exceeded Nangong Huang's would find it difficult to withstand.
Chu Kuangren saw black and white divine light circulating in Nangong Huang's eyes before forming a vortex that emitted a beam of intermingled black and white divine light. An essence of yin and yang instantly enveloped him.
"Heavenly Dao Sword!" Chu Kuangren remained as unmoving as a mountain. A vast sword intent erupted, and purple radiance soared skyward, manifesting the supreme Sword Dao above his head and transforming into a Heavenly Dao Sword with nine apertures.
With the manifestation of his Dao Body Phenomenon, Chu Kuangren's combat strength rose once more.
Gripping the Kunwu Saint Sword, he suddenly slashed at the black and white divine light.
Human-Sword Unity!
The domineering purple sword light collided violently with the Yin-Yang Divine Light. The terrifying impact made the surrounding space tremble incessantly.
It seemed about to collapse!!
Gradually, the sword light ate away at the Yin-Yang Divine Light!
The Yin-Yang Divine Eyes did indeed rank highly among the Three Thousand Physiques, but they fell far short of a Supreme Dao Body like the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Sword Heart.
The Heavenly Dao Sword broke through the Yin-Yang Divine Light!
Nangong Huang was once again blasted back dozens of yards by the sword light. The golden light covering him was torn apart the moment it met the sword qi. Sword qi invaded his body, darting through him like countless tiny needles, seemingly intent on shredding his flesh!
"So this is a Supreme Dao Body!!"
Nangong Huang's pupils contracted, and the skin of his face trembled in shock.
"Nine Heavens Sword Prison!"
At that moment, Chu Kuangren's soft shout rang out again.
Sword qi poured from his body, blotting out the sky and covering everything within a thousand-yard radius. Boundless sword intent shrouded heaven and earth!
It was like a prison!
The second great phenomenon of the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Sword Heart, the Nine Heavens Sword Prison!
Sensing the sword qi around him, Nangong Huang turned somewhat pale. Having suffered repeated injuries, he now faced this phenomenon with the will to resist but not the strength.
But it was not over yet.
"Green Lotus Sword Song!"
The sword qi filling the sky darted beneath Chu Kuangren's feet, weaving together and transforming into a gigantic azure lotus. The lotus had thirty-six petals, each bearing mysterious patterns that seemed to expound the ultimate principles of the sword.
Waves of sword notes also echoed through the air, stirring the countless swords within the Mystic Heaven Sect. In the distance, Sword Mountain seemed to answer a summons, releasing a sky-shaking sword cry.
With the Heavenly Dao Sword above his head, the thirty-six-petaled Sword Qi Azure Lotus beneath his feet, and the Nine Heavens Sword Prison spread around him, Chu Kuangren had unleashed all Three Great Dao Body Phenomena!
He walked toward Nangong Huang step by step, like a peerless Sword Immortal!
Countless disciples watched in utter shock, while Nangong Huang, who bore the pressure of the Three Great Phenomena head-on, was already trembling all over!!
"That's impossible!!"
"How can he be this powerful!"
Black and white divine light flickered constantly in Nangong Huang's left and right eyes as he tried to activate his Yin-Yang Divine Eyes to resist the Three Great Dao Body Phenomena.
But it was utterly useless!
His eyes ached terribly, and he could not unleash the divine light at all.
Among the Three Thousand Physiques in the world, the Nine-Orifice Exquisite Sword Heart was a Supreme Dao Body that ranked in the top ten. The Yin-Yang Divine Eyes could not compare to it at all!
Only now did Nangong Huang realize how vast the gulf between the two was!
Gulp...
A short distance away, Murong Xuan swallowed.
Not long ago, when Chu Kuangren had fought him on Sword Mountain, he had unleashed only the Heavenly Dao Sword phenomenon, yet he had been able to draw on the sword intent of Sword Mountain's swords for his own use. Now that Chu Kuangren had unleashed all Three Great Phenomena, how terrifying would it be if they were on Sword Mountain as well?
Murong Xuan did not dare imagine it.
But his awe of Chu Kuangren grew ever deeper.
The other Daoist Seeds felt the same.
As the disciples watching from all around gazed at Chu Kuangren, who resembled a peerless Sword Immortal, they truly acknowledged his position as their eldest senior brother in their hearts.
"No wonder, no wonder the Sect Leader issued a decree appointing Chu Kuangren as chief disciple and eldest senior brother. He really does have the talent for it!!"
"I'm truly convinced, heart and soul."
"Who could compare to such peerless brilliance?"
"I'm afraid there aren't more than a few Heavenly Prides among the younger generation in the entire Azure Dragon Domain who could compete with Eldest Senior Brother."
"Forget the Azure Dragon Domain. Even across the entire Firmament Star, Eldest Senior Brother's talent would definitely rank among the very best."
The watching disciples discussed animatedly, sincerely won over by Chu Kuangren.
The young female disciples in particular gazed at Chu Kuangren's divine countenance and immortal bearing, their beautiful eyes shining again and again with admiration and yearning.
"No matter what anyone else says, he's my eldest senior brother."
"Heavens, how can he be so handsome?"
"So handsome and so strong. He simply makes it impossible to stop wanting more."
