Chapter 1640
Chen Xuan never expected that the beautiful woman in golden robes he had encountered in the outer realms—the one who tried to kill him because of his sins, but was ultimately killed by him—was actually a celestial being.
Experiencing the oppressive aura unique to the gods up close is something that even a second-class celestial being cannot compare to.
“Indeed, it is I.” Chen Xuan smiled calmly, looking at the Azure Light God whose features were slightly distorted. “When we met in the outer realm, I greeted you with the respect due to a junior, but you did not ask for the reason and directly tried to kill me.”
Upon hearing this, the Azure Light God's expression grew even more unpleasant.
"Four years have passed since I left, senior. Please tell me, do I still carry the aura of sin and karmic fire?" Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
Qingguang scanned with his divine sense and immediately discovered that Chen Xuan was surrounded by eighteen feet of golden light of merit.
With a hint of smugness, Chen Xuan continued, "Now that I am free of sin, does Senior still intend to kill someone like me who has accumulated merit?"
"Hmph! You dared to ambush and kill my primordial spirit avatar and steal my Great Dao Merit Artifact Embryo. Do you think you can let this grudge go with just a few words?" As soon as Qing Guang finished speaking, the blood-red sun behind him burst forth with dazzling light.
Wherever the light reached, space and the universe were suppressed; at this moment, she was the ruler of this world.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan nodded in agreement, and then turned his hand to take Yu'er, who had a worried look on her face, into his immortal abode.
"Husband, you must be careful."
Chen Xuan smiled at Yu'er, nodded in agreement, and then put away the immortal abode.
Feeling the Great Dao Domain unleashed by the Azure Light Celestial God—where heaven and earth and space were completely suppressed—Chen Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Senior, I did not want to be your enemy. If I return that Great Dao Merit Embryo to you, can this matter be dropped?"
Chen Xuan had originally planned to stay here temporarily and leave once the Chaos Nest opened, so he didn't want to become enemies with this local power from the bottom of his heart.
However, human nature is such that even if one breaks through to the realm of celestial immortals or gods, one may not necessarily change.
Seeing that Chen Xuan seemed to be willing to back down, the Azure Light Celestial God sneered: "Only the death of you and your Daoist companions can appease my hatred! Junior, say no more and prepare to die!"
Before she finished speaking, the crimson sun behind the azure light suddenly transformed into nine crimson rivers, instantly covering tens of thousands of miles in radius. She reached out a claw towards Chen Xuan in the void, and a crimson dragon claw the size of a mountain slammed down, its speed and power so great that even Chen Xuan felt a slight pressure.
This person was originally at the level of a second-class celestial immortal, and after undergoing tribulation in the realm of gods and demons to become a celestial god, Chen Xuan estimated that his combat power was infinitely close to that of a first-class celestial immortal.
However, even though the opponent was powerful, Chen Xuan was not afraid.
If he had encountered this person four years ago, he would probably have had no choice but to run away; but now, after four years of tempering at nine times the time flow rate of the small tower and after more than ten failures, he has already cultivated the merit and immortal energy to perfection.
It took Chen Xuan thirty-six years to finally succeed in overcoming the first major hurdle of the Nine Heavens Immortal Qi.
According to Xiaota's assessment, if Chen Xuan were to unleash his full power at this moment, even a first-class celestial immortal would find it difficult to kill him, let alone someone like Qingguang who had only just stepped into the ranks of first-class celestial immortals.
Seeing the massive, blood-red dragon claw hurtling towards them with an aura of destruction, Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he shouted, "In that case, senior, our feud is now irreconcilable!"
"So what if we fight to the death?" Seeing that Chen Xuan had no reaction, Qing Guang sneered, "Although you have some talent in Daoist arts, you are ultimately just an ant in the Nascent Soul Realm."
However, as soon as she uttered those words, her next disdainful remark caught in her throat—looking incredulously at the "ants" in her eyes, she instantly summoned three transcendent immortal energies: blue, red, and gold, corresponding to the Azure Lotus Immortal Energy, the Red Lotus Immortal Energy, and the Merit Immortal Energy, respectively.
Three streams of transcendent immortal energy appeared and immediately empowered Chen Xuan, greatly increasing his power.
A sharp and deadly sword move easily annihilated the enormous blood-red dragon claw that was right in front of them.
"How is this possible? I am also a Celestial Immortal who achieved enlightenment through three strands of immortal energy. Why are you so strong?" The Azure Light Celestial God's eyes narrowed as he saw Chen Xuan annihilate his attack with a single sword strike, and he shouted angrily.
"Young man, which sect do you come from? Who is your master?" Seeing the young man's extraordinary talent, Qingguang felt a real sense of worry. If he was just a rogue cultivator, that would be fine, but he was afraid that he might be a promising disciple of a major sect.
"Is there any point in saying all this now?"
Surrounded by three streams of celestial energy that transcended the mortal realm, Chen Xuan could unleash true celestial combat power with a casual sword strike.
In particular, Chen Xuan's main cultivation was the sword path, which was most skilled in killing. He let out a low shout, and a massive amount of crimson divine power surged from his body. In the blink of an eye, a three-headed, six-armed god-demon with a height of eighty-two feet and long, snow-white hair appeared in the arena.
"What?" The Divine Demon Body Refinement best demonstrates a cultivator's foundation. Seeing that Chen Xuan, at only the Nascent Soul Realm, could cultivate the Law of Heaven and Earth to eighty-two zhang, Qing Guang was completely shocked.
Since she successfully transcended her tribulation, she has experienced countless years and seen countless so-called young geniuses, but she has never heard of any Nascent Soul Realm cultivator who could cultivate the close combat supernatural power of the Divine Demon Path to such a level.
"With my control over the universe and the Great Dao of Space, I couldn't suppress his void-traversing ability? His swordsmanship is so sharp, and he's even cultivated the Crimson Bright Divine Body to this level... Just who is this kid?"
But since Chen Xuan had already decided to reveal his trump card and fight to the death, he said no more, his eyes filled only with the conviction and madness to kill the enemy in front of him.
With the three streams of immortal energy empowering him, the six Beiming Swords, comparable to divine swords of the immortal rank, were drawn from their sheaths, and their sword cries echoed incessantly.
Chen Xuan let out a ferocious laugh, carrying six Beiming swords that exuded the power of the Great Dao. He took a step forward and appeared in front of the Azure Light God in the blink of an eye.
Faced with such a bloodthirsty and terrifying god-demon, coupled with the opponent's mastery of the Great Dao of Speed, Qingguang's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
"If you refuse to talk, then I will have no choice but to kill you!"
Although Chen Xuan's path of gods and demons was amazing, Qing Guang was a being who had transcended tribulation to become a celestial god. Although his divine body aptitude was not as good as the Crimson Bright Divine Body, which was the number one in the Three Thousand Worlds, the suppression of his realm was enough to make up for the gap.
Seeing Chen Xuan transform into an eighty-two-zhang-tall demon god, Qing Guang also snorted coldly. The nine blood-red rivers extending around his body instantly converged, and then, an eight-armed demon god towering one hundred and forty-six zhang tall appeared, with a huge golden wheel of the sun behind him radiating terrifying pressure.
Chen Xuan held six Beiming swords, while Qing Guang held eight black pointed cones—the tips of which shimmered with a cold, emerald light, and were actually eight top-grade divine weapons of the immortal rank.
Facing the all-out attack of the Heavenly God, Chen Xuan immediately launched a frenzied assault.
Ding ding ding —
When gods and demons fight each other in close combat, they rely on their skills and cannot afford any fancy moves. Every punch is brutal and every move draws blood, making it extremely tragic.
In terms of close-range agility and movement, Qingguang Tianshen is no match for Chen Xuan; but in terms of close combat experience, Chen Xuan's control of eight arms against six arms is far inferior to Qingguang's.
After a fierce close-quarters battle where he disregarded his injuries, Chen Xuan's sharp sword marks were left on Qingguang Tianshen's legs, chest, waist, and face.
Chen Xuan looked even more disheveled – two of his three heads had been blown off, his remaining brow was pierced by a celestial-grade spike, one of his legs had been broken, and blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.
