Chi Yuan sat cross-legged, his sleeve robe billowing, hovering high above the clouds as he looked indifferently at Xu Xing standing on the ground.
If he let Xu Xing go simply because he feared the unknown will of heaven, wouldn’t that be ridiculous?
Xu Xing had risen to prominence in a re one hundred years, while he, Chi Yuan, had been renowned in this world for tens of thousands of "Spring and Autumn" spans.
"Is this Martial Uncle’s Dharma Phase?"
Trapped within the Black and White Chessboard, Xu Xing showed no signs of nervousness, his expression still calm and composed. He glanced around before clasping his hands towards Chi Yuan and asking the question.
This was the Dharma Phase of the Nascent Soul Stage. It was not restricted to one’s own true form. It was more an embodint of the Dao one pursued. In other words, the Dharma Phase of Nascent Soul Cultivators differed from that of a Nascent Soul. It could manifest as various things like flowers, birds, fish, insects, beasts, or fowl—all of which were materializations of the Dao Principles they had comprehended. If Xu Xing’s primary aptitude were the Human King physique, then upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the Dharma Phase he would most likely condense would be the Dragon and Tiger Dharma Phase, ford by the Laws of Dragon and Tiger. However, chessboard-like Dharma Phases were rare among Nascent Soul Cultivators.
"That’s right, this Black and White Chessboard is indeed my Dharma Phase..."
"I spent nearly ten thousand years comprehending the Yin and Yang Great Dao to finally condense this Dharma Phase."
Chi Yuan nodded slightly. Although he had resolved to defy this so-called "will of heaven," he still wished to avoid taking action unless absolutely necessary.
If they could talk, they would talk. Act cautiously, but strike ruthlessly when the ti cos!
"Dharma Phase..."
Xu Xing shook his head and sighed.
Previously, he had only known fragnts about Dharma Phases from Ancient Books. It was only through this firsthand experience that he truly understood their marvels. Under the envelopnt of a Dharma Phase, an entire region was suffused with Dao Principles. Ordinary cultivators, suppressed by these Dao Principles, would typically have no strength to retaliate and could only await death obediently. Of course, he was an exception.
Seeing Xu Xing say no more, Chi Yuan sighed inwardly and shook his head.
A life-and-death enemy it is.
He lifted his sleeve, and a spiritual light flashed between his fingers, piercing into the Chessboard.
In an instant, thunderbolts rumbled in the Heavenly Vault, affecting thousands of miles. Dark clouds pressed down upon the heaven and earth, dyeing the surroundings a pitch black.
With another wave of his hand, a colossal hand, accompanied by lightning and thunder, erged from the dark clouds. It enveloped all directions and pressed down over thousands of miles, as if intending to shatter the very fabric of Tianyi Gorge with a single slap.
Simultaneously, on the ground, the Chessboard began to transform. Black and white chess pieces condensed one by one, morphing into wisps of Yin and Yang Energies that swept towards Xu Xing.
If I’m touched by these Yin and Yang Energies, my Magic Power will reverse, the Five Elents within will go into disarray, and I’ll be defeated without a fight...
Fortunately, I have Innate Immortal Qi protecting , so I won’t be disturbed by these Yin and Yang Energies.
As soon as the Yin and Yang Energies made contact with the white protective barrier ford by his Innate Immortal Qi, Xu Xing imdiately perceived their might and inwardly rejoiced.
In terms of his own cultivation realm and strength, he was roughly comparable to individuals like Zhongtai Dao Monarch, considered a Nascent Soul Grand Cultivator. However, he possessed nurous techniques, which was how he had beco the foremost individual beneath the Nascent Soul Stage, capable of exchanging a few blows with a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch like Chi Yuan.
All I need to do is escape from Chi Yuan, and that will be my victory... Half a month! The ti Chi Yuan needs to find using his Divine Powers and Secret Techniques should be around half a month...
Xu Xing’s eyes flickered as he urged the Tide Feather Sword to shred the surrounding wisps of Yin and Yang Energies.
As the colossal hand descended from the sky towards him, he remained unhurried. He retrieved a Grey Feather from his sleeve robe and tossed it towards the colossal hand.
Kunpeng Slaughtering Immortal Law! Xu Xing silently chanted.
In a fleeting mont, the Grey Feather split from one to two, then from two to three, and then from three into countless, seemingly weightless sword lights that stabbed towards the palm of the colossal hand.
This Immortal Law was one he had obtained from the Emperor Jin World. It was a formidable offensive technique capable of generating imnse destructive power in an instant. Last ti, in his battle against Song Knife and Nan Lu, he had relied on this very move to directly eliminate Nan Lu, who was several small realms above him.
However—this Immortal Law was still insufficient against the deadly might of Chi Yuan, a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch. It only managed to delay the colossal hand’s descent for half a breath, slightly diminishing its fierce montum.
"Slash!"
However, in that instant, Xu Xing had also gathered the power for a technique to deal with the colossal hand. He activated the Tide Feather Sword in his hand and slashed fiercely at the colossal hand.
It was no empty boast that a sect master-level Nascent Soul Cultivator wielding a Half-Immortal Artifact could face a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch without being at a disadvantage. The might of an Immortal Sword was extraordinary.
In a split second, a sword light flashed. The colossal hand that had enveloped the heaven and earth instantly vanished without a trace, and clarity and light returned to the world.
"Xu Daoist, how did you end up facing such a terrifying enemy..."
When the sword light and the colossal hand collided, their power dissipated into the heaven and earth. Ao Yuniang, hiding in Xu Xing’s sleeve, was instantly jolted awake.
A clash of Nascent Soul-level techniques! This is practically a major battle! Although the residual power felt like a gentle breeze to Chi Yuan and Xu Xing, it wouldn’t necessarily be the case for others.
"Sixth Princess, now that you’ve awakened, do you have any Divine Powers to impart to , to make my escape easier?" Xu Xing multitasked, simultaneously countering Chi Yuan and planning his escape while communicating with Ao Yuniang via sound transmission via divine consciousness.
"I don’t..." Ao Yuniang replied. "Though I do possess so escape-type Divine Powers, Daoist Friend... you are facing a Nascent Soul Cultivator. Even if I were to teach them to you, you wouldn’t be able to learn them in an instant..."
"In that case..."
"Then, Sixth Princess, please refrain from disturbing for now. We can talk after I’ve managed to escape this peril."
Disappointnt flickered in Xu Xing’s heart, and he severed the Divine Sense Communication with Ao Yuniang.
