Dongfang Bai regretted it, he really regretted it!
It wasn't that she regretted engaging in the battle, but rather that she regretted her recklessness. Just now, in order to withstand Ximen Chuixue's strongest attack, she had squeezed out all of her innate Innate Extreme Yang Qi.
Even more fatal was the overload of the final blow, which caused considerable damage to the muscles, bones, and meridians in the body, resulting in the loss of control over most of the body, making it difficult to even move.
Given this unforeseen turn of events, there's no way to avoid it now.
She still had Blood Sea to avenge; how could she so recklessly end her life?
Despite feeling deeply resentful, there was ultimately nothing that could be done!
Just as Dongfang Bai was regretting her actions, a figure stepped in front of her, directly confronting the exploding ball of sword energy.
The blue and red sword energy spheres shattered with a deafening roar, and the eerie blue lightning and fiery red flames danced wildly, filling the entire field of vision of the two.
Instead of foolishly standing still to withstand the shock, Wang Hao controlled his protective aura to be thrown away by the shockwave like a ball, minimizing the force he absorbed.
Unfortunately, the Innate Thunder Sword Qi and Innate Extreme Yang Sword Qi that the two had gathered were already incredibly powerful. After the two were forcibly merged into an energy sphere, they generated a terrifying repulsive force against each other, making the exploded sword energy even more powerful.
The protective aura that Wang Hao created, based on the ultimate technique of his adopted son, Daoist Qingsong Evergreen for Eons, known as Eternal Green, was strong, but it could not completely withstand this kind of impact.
A small amount of sharp sword energy pierced through the protective aura and rushed in. Helpless, Wang Hao could only meet it head-on and use his own powerful physical body to block it.
There's no other way; Dongfang Bai isn't in great shape right now. If she were to face these sword energies, she'd definitely be torn to shreds, so it's his turn.
"Hiss hiss hiss..."
Countless sword energies bombarded Wang Hao's powerful body one after another. Most of them were resisted by his cultivated Tenacious Force, but some pierced into his body, leaving hundreds of hideous bloody wounds.
After a long while, the two kinds of lightning and fire that had raged within a range of two hundred feet dissipated, leaving behind a scene of devastation.
This is a true ruin. All the buildings within a two-hundred-foot radius have been pulverized, some even charred black, as if burned by the Innate Extreme Yang Sword Qi. In some places, raging fires have even broken out.
The destructive power was not limited to a range of two hundred feet; it was just that this area was in the very core of the zone. The rest of the area was also severely ravaged by the two types of sword energy that were ejected, turning some buildings into dangerous structures and others into ruins.
After all this turmoil, the Mount Song Sword Sect has become history.
After the violent lightning and fire subsided, the martial arts practitioners who had retreated dared to approach again. They were shocked and speechless at the sight of the ruins before them, and many of them dropped their weapons.
"Are you... are you kidding me? Is this really something a human could do?"
"This is practically a battle between Immortal God!"
Xiantian Grandmaster really that terrifying?
Coming to their senses, the crowd turned their awe-inspiring gazes to the two figures standing at the edge of the ruins. Then, eight figures flashed past, none other than the eight patriarchs of the Confucian School.
"Young friend Ximen, why are you doing this to yourself!"
"May you rest in peace, young friend Ximen!"
"To die in battle, I would rather not!"
The eight Confucian School patriarchs looked at Wang Hao's blood-soaked body, their faces filled with sorrow, but their eyes revealed a hint of joy.
Although they were not entirely clear about the situation in the overseas martial arts world, they all did not want the other side to become stronger, which was why they sent Qin Yan to intercept and kill the Peerless Sword Saint, Dugu Jian.
The Ximen Chuixue who appeared this time was even stronger than the Peerless Sword Saint, so naturally they didn't want him to live. Moreover, they might even use his death to stir up trouble and incite infighting among the overseas martial arts world.
So that kid deserved to die, he died a wonderful death!
"I'm not dead yet!"
With only half of his face intact, Wang Hao suddenly turned his head and glared at the eight Confucian School patriarchs surrounding him. He had just been completely absorbed in his body, repairing the internal organs that had been injured by the sword energy and removing the Innate Extreme Yang Sword Qi from his body, which was why he appeared somewhat lifeless.
But these old guys thought they were dead, and what was with that smug look in their eyes?
Is this someone who wishes for their own death?
Screw you!
To this, Wang Hao could only silently raise a thousand middle fingers at these eight old geezers to express his contempt.
This unexpected turn of events left the eight Confucian School patriarchs, who were secretly delighted, completely stunned, and even some martial arts practitioners who had followed them were taken aback.
It wasn't that they lacked mental fortitude, but rather that the scene before them was simply too horrifying.
Wang Hao's injuries were severe; the skin and flesh on his chest were almost completely gone, revealing his charred ribs and even his internal organs.
In addition, the injuries on his limbs were also severe, with leg and arm bones visible in many places, making him look even more grotesque than the most tragic zombies in Resident Evil.
In their eyes, this kind of injury would absolutely be fatal; even a Peak Xiantian Grandmaster would be doomed.
But this guy actually spoke! Luckily it's Big White; if it were a Hei Feng and stormy night, it would have scared a lot of people to death.
"Young friend Ximen, are you alright?"
The first Confucian School elder to react tentatively asked, even swallowing hard.
"It's nothing, just some minor cuts and bruises!"
Wang Hao waved his hand dismissively, indicating that it was just a minor injury, nothing to worry about!
At the same time, granulation tissue rapidly grew on those gruesome wounds, repairing the broken areas at an extremely fast pace. At this rate, they would be completely healed in less than fifteen minutes.
Just kidding, his Bloodline Power has now reached the Peak Second Tier, and thanks to the tenfold potential boost from the Nine Revolutions of Samsara Technique, its effects are ten times that of others at the same level.
The Bloodline Power of Mortal Realm Second Tier already has an exaggeratedly fast repair speed; as long as the injury is not fatal, it can be recovered. With the tenfold enhancement, it is naturally even more terrifying.
Therefore, this level of injury is really just a superficial wound for him. The most troublesome thing is just expelling some of the Innate Extreme Yang Sword Qi that was blasted into his body.
As for the Innate Thunder Sword Qi, it was originally his. As soon as it pierced his body, it was instantly absorbed into his own energy to replenish his consumption, so he didn't need to worry about it.
"Could this be the profound mystery of the Divine King Physique?"
One of the Xiantian Grandmaster on the periphery couldn't help but gasp, recalling what Wang Hao had mentioned earlier about the Divine King Physique.
It seems this person once said that the strongest aspect of the Divine King Physique is its physical recovery ability, and that when cultivated to its extreme, it can even transform into the Divine King Undying Body.
Previously, they had no concept of the regenerative abilities of the Divine King Physique, thinking that at most it was just a little stronger than the regenerative abilities of ordinary people, but now it seems that it is much stronger than that!
How could such a freakish constitution exist in the world?
"Young friend Ximen, have you perhaps already mastered the Divine King Undying Body?"
The eight Confucian School patriarchs, having been reminded, Satori and then eagerly inquired, looking at Wang Hao as if he were a delicious lamb.
"What's so special about that? I'm only at the Lesser Completion stage of the Divine King Physique, still a long way from the Greater Completion stage!"
Wang Hao casually replied that although he was currently using the pseudonym Ximen Chuixue, this version wasn't the original; it was a comedic, nonsensical version created by Master Xing Chow, so it didn't need to follow the original's rules.
Moreover, given his appearance and balding head, it's impossible for him to be cold-hearted!
"This is only at the minor stage? How terrifying must the fully accomplished Divine King Undying Body be?"
Everyone was shocked once again. The regenerative power they had witnessed was already incredibly exaggerated, practically defying the heavens, and yet you're telling us that this is only at the minor completion stage, a far cry from the major completion stage of the Divine King Undying Body?
Everyone said they didn't have enough brain cells or enough imagination, and really couldn't imagine it.
"According to records, cultivating the Divine King Physique to its fullest extent can truly achieve immortality, even reaching the realm of rebirth from a drop of blood. As long as the body cannot be completely destroyed and the internal energy is sufficient, it can continuously regenerate."
Wang Hao started to seriously deceive people, while also showing off a bit.
Moreover, this is not a lie. If the Shrouding the Heavens World truly exists, the Divine King Physique, when cultivated to its peak, can indeed be reborn from a drop of blood, even achieving the effect of Phoenix Nirvana. In Dong Ge's novel, the old God King lived a second life through this.
So he really wasn't lying. Even if he was, it was Dong Ge lying. He was just a small-time porter.
Therefore, he is an honest and straightforward person who never tries to deceive others!
"Hiss!"
This bluff caused a collective gasp, and everyone was deeply shocked.
"Impossible! How could such an absurd thing happen in the world?"
Immediately, some people expressed disbelief, saying, "Laozi just a native of a martial arts world; how could such fantastical things exist in this world?"
This is seriously exceeding the bounds of righteousness, isn't it?
"Is it hard to understand? The concept of 'rebirth from a drop of blood' is just a reference to the process of a baby's growth and development in the mother's womb. You should all know that a baby is formed from the parents' blood and essence. Initially, it is just a tiny particle, much smaller than a drop of blood, and even difficult to see with the naked eye."
"If a tiny particle can grow into an infant and eventually an adult, is it really that hard to understand to be reborn from a drop of blood?"
Wang Hao expressed a look of doubt, seemingly puzzled by the ignorance of the others.
Of course, it was all an act. Once he started his deception, he was determined to completely fool all of them.
He wasn't afraid of being questioned, because such questioning only gave him an opportunity to further deceive... no, to explain, and to thoroughly instill his nonsensical ideas into everyone.
Therefore, those who questioned him were essentially helping him.
This novel explanation startled everyone, and then they all seemed to be deep in thought.
Although there is no biological anatomy in this era, some common sense still exists.
Although they do not know exactly how a baby is formed, they do know that the fetus does grow little by little inside the mother's body, and the pregnant woman's belly is initially flat, which proves that the fetus is very small in its early stages.
Using this concept to verify the Divine King Undying Body seems quite reasonable!
"Thank you! Why did you save me?"
Having recovered somewhat, Dongfang Bai looked at the balding, greasy middle-aged man in front of her with a complicated expression. She couldn't understand why he had saved her earlier, and why he had paid such a huge price, even nearly dying.
As someone who experienced it firsthand, she deeply understands just how dangerous it was; one wrong move could have cost her her life.
"It's nothing. There's an agreement in our overseas martial arts world that unless there's Blood Sea, we must do everything in our power to help those who Awakening the Ancient Emperor Bloodline in trouble. Besides, we Ancient Emperor Bloodline should help each other, since there aren't many Ancient Emperor Bloodline Lineage with special physiques who can Awakening their bloodlines in the same era."
With a casual wave of his hand, Wang Hao had almost recovered, carefully examined Dongfang Bai, whose face was deathly pale, and solemnly advised, "I must say, you are very outstanding to be able to unleash the power of extreme yang with your Shaoyang Physique. You have the qualifications to become a prodigy, but for you now, the power of extreme yang is not so easy to bear."
It's best to use it less in the future, otherwise, let alone advancing to the Celestial Person Realm, even survival will be a problem. Moreover, your path has gone astray. The Dao of the Sun encompasses everything, with life and death intertwined, but you've only taken the most extreme Dao of Destruction.
Although its power is considerable, it also places a huge burden on oneself, especially before you have advanced to the Solar Physique.
The true Dao of the Sun is one of destruction and creation coexisting; all things are inseparable from the sun's illumination. You must further study other aspects of the Dao of the Sun, otherwise a purely Dao of Destruction will not allow you to go far.
He wasn't just making things up. In the Primordial Great World, the Dao of the Sun truly encompasses everything, containing both extreme destruction and boundless vitality. Simply following one of these paths would have significant flaws and wouldn't last long.
Only when both aspects coexist, and are combined with other aspects, can the true Dao of the Sun be formed.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Ximen. I have learned Bubai!"
Dongfang Bai seemed to be deep in thought, then bowed deeply to Wang Hao in gratitude.
