Azure Gate Heaven's Will
"Who exactly are you?!"
The flames in True Person Bright Moon's golden eyes flickered violently.
The aura emanating from this Daoist priest was completely different from any other lineage or tradition in the Azure Gate Realm.
Profound, ancient, and deep, it seems to come from another completely unfamiliar and vast world!
Why ask so many questions of someone who is about to die?
Qi Yun spoke calmly, his right hand remaining loosely clenched.
Within the Domain Heaven, the chaotic energy flow no longer surged erratically, but instead, following Qi Yun's thoughts, it suddenly differentiated and solidified.
A portion of the pure energy rose, transforming into a hazy, illusory star map. As the starlight shimmered, it cast down strands of "order-fixing power" that bound the trajectories of all things.
Some of the turbid energy sank down, condensing into a thick, ethereal form of the Nine Nethers Netherworlds, emanating the "meaning of Ruins of Return" that absorbs and submerges all things, both tangible and intangible.
"Arrogant!"
True Person Bright Moon was, after all, a powerful Yang Spirit, with a firm will, and remained calm despite his shock.
"No matter where you come from or what you rely on, remember this: beneath the Yang Spirit, all are but ants."
Today I will show you what the Pure Yang Dao Intent truly is, a penetrating understanding of all laws!
The blazing white sphere suddenly shrank to about ten feet in diameter, but its light became more than ten times more concentrated, like a real liquid flame flowing.
True Person Bright Moon formed an ancient hand seal and pressed it down on Qi Yun from afar.
The light of the grotto-heaven, tracing back to its origin, breaks through!
Buzz-!!!
A beam of light, its color indescribable, shot out from the sphere of light!
On the incandescent white base, a seven-colored, glassy luster flows, capable of reflecting the essence of all things.
This is the supreme demon-subduing divine Divine Ability passed down through the Moonlight Sect, which can only be truly unleashed by those at the Yang Spirit Realm – [Grotto-Heaven Divine Light]!
It is a powerful tool for breaking all kinds of strange laws and evil methods, and is an extremely effective way to deal with unconventional forces!
The moment the divine light appeared, the entire array domain trembled!
The beam of light tore through the void, ignoring distance, and instantly penetrated into Qi Yun's [Great Luo Myriad Laws Domain]!
Within the Domain Heaven, the rising star map phantom was illuminated by divine light, causing the starlight to dim rapidly and its trajectory to become disordered; the sinking Nine Nethers phantom groaned under unbearable pressure, and the intent of Ruins of Return was constantly being "purified" and diluted.
Qi Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.
This [Grotto-Heaven Divine Light] is indeed wondrous; the powerful Yang Spirit of this realm are quite something.
Wield Myriad Laws!
Qi Yun slightly raised his head, his eyes flashing with nine-colored divine light.
He unleashed Divine Ability full power.
The vast, unpredictable divine light suddenly froze, as if gripped by an invisible hand, unable to escape no matter how much it struggled.
Master all laws with all laws!
Integrate their way into your own!
"What?!"
True Person Bright Moon was horrified. His invincible [Grotto-Heaven Divine Light] was now beginning to slip away. An almost unreasonable force was rapidly seizing control of the divine light from his hands.
This child must not be allowed to live!
True Person Bright Moon's murderous intent surged, and he held nothing back.
Blazing white flames shot into the sky, forcibly causing a change in the celestial phenomena within this array!
September is here!
Supreme Yin Monument!
With his shout, the void around the sphere of light suddenly darkened.
Immediately afterwards, nine bright yet extremely cold "moons" appeared out of thin air, slowly rotating around the True Person Bright Moon.
In each moon's shadow, there seems to be an ancient, broken, and weathered "monument" phantom floating in the moonlight!
Upon the monument, a terrifying Daoist aura flows, freezing time, sealing away the divine Divine Soul, and bearing eternal desolation!
As September rotates, the power of Supreme Yin spreads like a tide, forming a strange balance of Yin and Yang with the pure Yin and Yang power of Zhong True Person Bright Moon himself.
The phantom images of nine "Supreme Yin Monument" slowly descended.
The High Antiquity the monument lit up, transforming into cold, lifeless gray chains that ignored spatial barriers and pressed down on Qi Yun's Domain Heaven!
The divine Pure Yang Grotto-Heaven Divine Light is primarily for breaking down and purifying magic!
The Supreme Yin Monument and its chains are the main force for suppression and sealing!
When the two are combined, Yin and Yang Lunzhuan, and their power is multiplied many times over.
This is True Person Bright Moon's trump card.
Faced with this terrifying combined attack, powerful enough to make even ordinary Yang Spirit tremble, Qi Yun's eyes shimmered with chaotic light, yet he showed no sign of panic.
"I also wield the power of Heaven's Will's will."
"The supreme power of Thunder Method cannot tolerate the usurpation of Yin and Yang!"
Qi Yun formed an ancient thunder mudra with his hands in front of his chest and softly chanted a mantra.
There was no gathering of wind and clouds, no harbinger of thunder and lightning.
Only in the void before him, a single, extremely brilliant, and pure golden light, seemingly containing the first wisp of destruction and life at the beginning of creation, suddenly shone brightly!
The golden light rapidly stretched and extended, transforming into a physical talisman no more than three feet long and three fingers wide, its entire body woven from countless extremely fine lightning Dao patterns.
The talisman floated silently, yet it exuded an unparalleled majesty that transcended all things, acting as the embodiment of divine punishment and the judge of all living beings.
Its mere existence caused the chaotic rules of the surrounding [Heaven-Deceiving Grand Formation] and the Yin and Yang power triggered by True Person Bright Moon to instinctively "retreat" and "tremble"!
[Divine Firmament Thunder Talisman]!
"Go."
Qi Yun is in a blink of an eye.
The golden lightning talisman that had been silently floating vanished in an instant.
The next instant, it appeared directly in the center of the nine entangling Supreme Yin chains.
Then, it exploded with a deafening roar.
"Boom-!!!"
Boundless golden light burst forth!
Countless strands of golden lightning, as fine as hair yet condensed to the extreme, intertwined and surged.
Every bolt of lightning leaps with the majestic power of heaven to destroy evil, cleanse the universe, and restore the balance of yin Yin and Yang.
Centered on the talisman, the golden sea of lightning expanded instantly, engulfing the nine Supreme Yin chains, the nine bright moons, and even the True Person Bright Moon Immortal!
"Hiss hiss hiss--!!"
The Supreme Yin Chains were the first to be affected, like snow meeting the blazing sun. The desolate Daoist aura that froze time and sealed the Divine Soul quickly melted and disintegrated under the pure and domineering power of thunder.
The chains snapped inch by inch, turning into nothingness!
The nine bright moons trembled violently, and the illusory "Supreme Yin Monument" in the moon's shadow emitted a mournful cry of unbearable strain, with countless cracks appearing on the monument's body.
"Thunder Method?!"
How can you possibly control this?!
The figure of True Person Bright Moon let out a shrill and unbelievable roar.
He felt his Yang Spirit body, the pure Yang Dao intent he had cultivated throughout his life, and the Supreme Yin Principle being fundamentally "erased" under this blazing heavenly thunder!
With each strike, his skill would be reduced by three-tenths.
This is the terror of [Thunder Method]!
As the authority over heaven and earth, it possesses terrifying destructive power.
[Thunder Method] can directly reduce an enemy's cultivation level!
They might even reclassify him as a mortal!
A golden sea of lightning raged, dispelling the gray mist within the [Heaven-Deceiving Grand Formation], and the entire array domain was bathed in a golden-white light, as if transformed into the palace of the Thunder God.
Qi Yun stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the sea of lightning, his body surrounded by chaotic aura and golden lightning, like an ancient god who ruled over all lightning descending to earth.
He calmly watched the Yang Spirit sphere of light rapidly dimming and shrinking within the sea of lightning.
Then, with a large hand, he spread countless talismans over it, sealing it tightly before locking it into the [Great Luo Heaven].
The golden light gradually faded, and silence returned to the array area.
Only the lingering, Divine Soul- chilling aura of thunder in the air and the few charred marks on the ground proved that the brief but extremely high-level interdimensional battle just now was real.
Mo Wenxuan peeked out from behind the stone pillar, looking at the deep blue figure standing with his hands behind his back, his aura as deep as the ocean. He then looked at the empty sky where the Yang Spirit's incarnation had once been, opened his mouth, but found that he had already lost his voice.
Only awe and chill emanating from the depths of one's soul permeated the entire body.
The powerful Yang Spirit —just like that—gone?
There was no earth-shattering, protracted battle, nor the anticipated arduous struggle.
From the Qi Yun truly unleashed his vast, heaven-like aura to the moment he suppressed True Person Bright Moon, only a dozen or so breaths had passed.
A powerful Yang Spirit vanished completely, like a thin mist under the blazing sun.
This overwhelming power exceeded all of Mo Wenxuan and the others' imagination regarding the concept of "combat."
Qi Yun, however, paid no attention to their shock.
He slowly withdrew his gaze from the sky, a chaotic divine light swirling in the depths of his eyes, revealing a hint of deep thought.
The powerful Yang Spirit of this world, in terms of their inherent strength, are roughly equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Early Stage True Person my Xuanhuang Realm.
However, this is only reflected in the Divine Soul, and is rather superficial, lacking a solid foundation.
"As for the techniques of combat, the transformations of Divine Ability, and the subtle and profound application of the rules of the Great Dao—" He shook his head slightly.
"Far inferior to me, True Person of the Xuanhuang Realm."
This brief but direct encounter with True Person Bright Moon gave him a clearer understanding of the level of the so-called "top combat power" in the Azure Gate Realm.
The Yang Spirit Realm corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Xuanhuang Realm.
However, the level of power, understanding of the Dao, and especially the ability to adapt to the enemy and the use of trump cards that it exhibits all appear rather rudimentary and simple.
While the [Grotto-Heaven Divine Light] and the [Supreme Yin Monument] certainly have their unique features and lofty ideals, they are not without their merits.
However, the method of application is crude and lacks variety.
They lack the decisiveness and ruthlessness honed through countless trials and tribulations, tempered in the face of life and death.
"In a world of this level, the upper limit of cultivation seems to be locked at the [Yang Spirit] realm—can [Fruition Status] truly be naturally generated?" Qi Yun's heart was filled with doubts.
If the [Fruition Status] that Desolate Halberd True Lord left behind here was truly born naturally in this world, then the original level of this world should be extremely high.
"Zhao Xuanji once mentioned that [Azure Gate Heaven's Will] had undergone a change, and the [Heaven's Will] after that was obviously different from the one before."
Changeable, cold-blooded, and appearing much more frequently than before----
Therefore, there is only one possibility—"
Silently analyzing all the information he currently possessed, Qi Yun's slowly moving fingers suddenly stopped after a moment.
He slightly raised his head, and an answer emerged in his mind.
"Someone has taken the place of [Azure Gate Heaven's Will]."
