One Sword Destroys Yin and Yang; Who in the World Can Rival Him?
Enveloped by the enormous yin-yang taiji diagram,
Gu Xuanjin remained as unruffled as ever, only his robes snapping in the endless gale.
With a lift of his hand,
His magical power surged and roiled, and the Sword Dao hummed and trembled.
A vast, razor-sharp intent poured forth like a great river.
It churned and seethed, raising boundless waves!
It condensed into a silver-white immortal sword, wreathed in a vast divine radiance and rippling with endless immortal might.
This sword strike was like a blow from an immortal,
Gathering every sharp edge in the world within it, its keenness surpassing all limits.
It seemed capable of grinding the laws of heaven and earth to nothing and cleaving apart the myriad forms of chaos!
The next moment,
A piercing boom rang out.
The immortal sword tore through the void and met the yin-yang taiji diagram that blanketed heaven and earth.
In an instant,
The two attacks, each filled with boundless divine might and terrifying power, collided with a crash!
Rumble-
In that instant,
Heaven and earth trembled, mountain peaks exploded, and sand and stones flew.
The sky-shaking boom echoed throughout the Jade Pool Holy Land!
The vast and magnificent Jade Pool Square was destroyed beyond recognition, shattered to pieces!
In the void,
The enormous silver-white immortal sword was too powerful, too domineering, too sharp!
Nothing could withstand it, nothing could escape its edge!
The boundless, wondrous black and white Qi was steadily ground into nothingness by the silver-white Sword Qi.
The lingering force of the terrifying power unleashed rippled outward in every direction.
Apart from Nangong Yue, Qin Mofeng, and a few others,
The gifted young talents watching the battle were all driven out of the square.
"It's one thing for the Gu Clan's divine son to be this absurdly strong.
How is that boy in Daoist robes just as outrageous?"
"That's the man known as the reincarnation of the Dao Ancestor. What did you expect?"
"I'm afraid only this Dao Son could make the Gu Clan's divine son get even a little serious!"
The assembled young talents were filled with both amazement and envy.
Compared to the battles of these peerless monstrous talents, who could destroy heaven and earth at the drop of a hat,
Their own fights were as laughable as children playing house.
In the void,
The vast, mighty yin-yang taiji diagram could no longer withstand the silver-white immortal sword.
A faint cracking sound rang out, and a fissure crept across the yin-yang taiji diagram.
In just a few breaths,
The yin-yang taiji diagram exploded!
The dense black and white Qi scattered at once.
A clear sword cry rang out.
With nothing left to stop it, the silver-white immortal sword descended with overwhelming might!
Li Xuanji's expression grew grave.
He formed seals with both hands.
The extraordinarily mysterious black and white Qi
Condensed in an instant into a vast, weighty barrier before him!
Runes covered its surface.
Black and white light formed from the laws of the Dao flowed around it.
It radiated an extraordinarily powerful defensive presence.
Yet before the silver-white immortal sword, it was like paper.
It was torn apart in an instant!
The silver-white immortal sword struck Li Xuanji directly.
Amidst its endless sharpness,
An irresistible force erupted at once!
Li Xuanji coughed up blood, and his body was slammed hard into the square below.
Bang-
The already shattered square could no longer bear the strain.
Not only was it reduced to rubble,
But its center was pulverized into an immense crater.
The vast, ethereal, razor-sharp intent had grown dense to the extreme.
It lingered over the ruined square for a long time.
When the weaker young talents drew just a little closer,
They felt a sharp pain as their arms were cut.
Seeing that even the equally legendary Dao Son of the Supreme Purity Palace was just like them,
Unable to withstand a single move from Gu Xuanjin,
Qin Mofeng and the others felt somewhat better.
A moment later,
From the crater,
Li Xuanji slowly rose into the air atop his azure ox, looking somewhat helpless.
A trace of blood hung at the corner of his mouth.
His breath was ragged and weak, and parts of his Daoist robes had been shredded by Sword Qi.
He was dusty and disheveled, but not excessively so.
Looking at the serene, immortal-like youth, Li Xuanji sighed softly.
"The arrogance and pride this humble Daoist has unwittingly acquired over the years
Have been cut away by the divine son today."
Gu Xuanjin's eyes flickered a few times, and he smiled faintly.
"To withstand one of my sword strikes, you must be more than you appear, Dao Son."
Li Xuanji gave a couple of bitter chuckles.
"Divine son, your sword strike was hardly easy to withstand."
"This humble Daoist must still make a trip to the lower realm, so I won't take up any more of your time.
I'll seek your guidance again next time."
The great age had arrived, and the lower realm was not at peace either.
Gu Xuanjin said calmly,
"I hope you won't hold back next time, Dao Son.
At least give me a chance to draw my sword, won't you?"
Li Xuanji gave Gu Xuanjin a long look and smiled, then rode his azure ox through the air and departed.
Xu Lingxi came to Gu Xuanjin's side and said with a light laugh,
"Let's go, divine son.
Another young supreme like the Dao Son of the Supreme Purity Palace probably won't show up anytime soon."
Gu Xuanjin nodded slightly.
He returned with Xu Lingxi to the Jade Pool Hall on the main peak.
Seeing Gu Xuanjin leave,
Nangong Yue pondered for a moment, then looked at Qin Mofeng beside him and smiled coldly.
"Go back and recover properly.
Tomorrow, I want to see what you, the Taichu Holy Son, are truly capable of.
I hope you won't disappoint me!"
He had given up on challenging Gu Xuanjin now.
That fellow was absurdly strong; thrashing him was as easy as playing a game.
Although Baili Chang'an and the others were also top talents,
They were not on his level.
So Qin Mofeng, whose strength was close to his own, had become the most suitable opponent.
Qin Mofeng nodded slightly, his expression indifferent.
His thoughts were much the same as Nangong Yue's.
The two then left and returned to the hall.
Baili Chang'an and the others also followed them back to the hall.
High in the void,
The leading figures of several major powers from the Azure Radiance Dao Domain were concealed there.
Gu Xuanjin's performance made them deeply envious of the Gu Clan.
"I wonder what kind of dog-shit luck the Gu Clan had, to produce a junior who can suppress his entire generation."
"Suppress his entire generation? Don't speak so soon.
Those ancient freaks, successors of forbidden zones, and young great emperors haven't emerged yet!"
"Those pieces of trash?
I'm afraid they're far inferior to even the Dao Son of the Supreme Purity Palace, the one hailed as the reincarnation of the Dao Ancestor.
Let alone this forbidden divine son of the Gu Clan."
The next day,
A battle broke out between the Taichu Holy Son and the young master of the Extreme Dao Demon God Palace.
It also drew quite a few young talents to watch.
After all, it was a clash between the successors of two top powers.
Many still wanted to know which of them was stronger.
Their battle
Was not as breathtaking or awe-inspiring as Gu Xuanjin's crushing victory,
But its might was just as immense, and its phenomena astonishing.
One possessed boundless demonic might that shattered the nine heavens, like a demon sovereign descending upon the world.
The other manifested the six paths of reincarnation and buried all living beings, like the lord of reincarnation.
Their clash
Also taught some of the watching young talents a thing or two.
What no one expected, however,
Was that after the two fought fiercely for most of the day, unleashing an endless succession of divine abilities and spells,
The battle would end in a draw.
Over the next two or three days,
As more and more gifted and monstrous talents arrived,
The gathering of young talents grew livelier.
However,
No legendary talent like the Dao Son of the Supreme Purity Palace appeared.
Thus, Gu Xuanjin did not fight again over those few days.
That left the talents who arrived later
Deeply regretting that they had not seen the young sword immortal's peerless bearing with their own eyes.
Because Baili Chang'an and the others had suffered crushing defeats at Gu Xuanjin's hands,
Some monstrous talents assumed they were soft persimmons, easy to bully.
So they issued challenge after challenge,
Hoping to rise by stepping on these successors of major powers, who looked impressive but were useless.
