Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

"Again!"

"Halberd Five, Devour Heaven and Earth."

"Black Flame Nether God Shatter!"

Yi Chen's ultimate move reappeared, colliding fiercely with Hei Mietian.

A cry of "again," coupled with a robust foundation and a sudden mighty force, the dark light of dead silence that suddenly appeared in the sky collided with the vortex of Devour Heaven and Earth. Rings of light exploded, radiating ripples of light visible to the naked eye that seemed to have substance.

Intense gusts swept in all directions, instantly clearing the airspace where Yi Chen and Hei Mietian crossed blows, as if it was a forbidden zone. No one dared to fight near them.

Hiss... Hiss... Hiss...

Countless forces collided, eroded, and nullified each other in the sky, sparking halos of various colors.

The two spat out mouthfuls of blood before separating again.

The enormous white orb hanging in the sky shed strands of white qi, replenishing Yi Chen's expended energy.

As the battle intensified, Yi Chen felt his spirit slowly approaching a zenith. Although his physical momentum was waning, his spirit seemed even more lively.

Between life and death lies great terror but also the chance to "steal the secrets of heaven."

It's like the masters of national arts from his previous life practicing on the edge of a cliff—placing themselves in danger, with thoughts becoming more nimble under the pressure of life and death. Fail and die, but if one can withstand the immense pressure, they can transform from cocoon to butterfly.

Yi Chen's actions held a semblance of "stealing the secrets of heaven."

"Zhang Hu, do you really want to end up with both the fish dead and the net broken?" Hei Mietian's voice was fierce with reproach. He was starting to feel afraid. The Yin Yang He Huan Holy Lotus Formation that trapped the Hehuan Sect members had become his shackle. With Yi Chen's restraint, he had no choice but to fight to the death.

"Fish dead? Net broken? You think you're worthy?"

Yi Chen fiercely wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, wiping away the blood. He extended a finger, first pointing at Hei Mietian, then at himself.

"It's you who dies! I live! That's right!"

If he could not even defeat Hei Mietian, whose power was restrained by the Extreme Origin, how could he hope to contend with the Evil-Vanquishing Luohan or even mention the stronger experts from the Great Weide Heavenly Dragon Temple and the esteemed elders of the Yan Family?

With that thought, Yi Chen's Extreme Origin surged again. Under the impetus of Divine Power, the Holy Halberd was raised high. Suddenly, in his hands, the Holy Halberd expanded, and with the Extreme Origin condensing a white orb above his head, a forty-meter-long column of light abruptly appeared.

Like a strongman cleaving a mountain, Yi Chen roared furiously, and the long halberd pressed down violently.

"Again!"

"Halberd Three, Earth Sever!"

"Borrowing force from the heavens!"

This halberd, merging all of the white light that had been concentrated above Yi Chen's head for a long time, combined with the third ability of the Strength-Breaking Realm to launch a pre-emptive strike. Hei Mietian instantly felt as if the space around him had solidified.

In his eyes, the sky seemed to have a huge hole torn in it, and boundless darkness shrouded his figure.

A powerful destructive aura swept over him like tidal waves, relentlessly assaulting his sea of consciousness; this was an unprecedented experience for him.

If Yi Chen's previous ultimate moves were pure power, now he felt that this move seemed alive, filled with emotion, and had a rhythm like a human heartbeat.

"Ah! Zhang Hu!"

"You! You deserve to die!"

"How dare you use me for practice! I want you dead! Want you dead!"

The black Dao patterns suddenly trembled, waking up Hei Mietian's consciousness.

A scarlet pill was instantly popped into Hei Mietian's mouth—a Heaven Demon Pill, one that burns lifespan and overdraws potential.

This time, even at the cost of regressing in cultivation and returning to the near-path realm, Hei Mietian was desperate.

He was beginning to regret collaborating with Sect Master Hong Luo. Even if he managed to kill his present foe, his cultivation would suffer significantly. Indeed, lust can make a person blind; such regret.

The Heaven Demon Pill dissolved as soon as it entered his mouth, working with the mysterious hand signs. Black qi slowly emitted from the Dao patterns on Hei Mietian's body, gradually dissolving. Circles of undead qi, like rolling waves, began to surge forth.

Under the influence of this strong force, Hei Mietian's figure swelled dramatically, his eyes nearly bursting out of their sockets, and his skin turning blackish-green. Two lengthy fangs burst through his lower jaw, exposed directly to the air.

"Break for me!"

"Inherent Corpse Flame!"

The now over ten-meter-tall Hei Mietian slammed his huge cyan-black arm against his chest, letting out a thunderous roar like a Vajra, a jet-black column of flame, abyssal as ink, capable of devouring light sprang into existence.

The remarkable fight between Yi Chen and Hei Mietian had already drawn everyone's attention. The outcome of their battle concerned the life and death of both parties. For a moment, both sides ceased fighting, casting their gazes upon this earth-shattering strike.

A black and a white column of light collided starkly against each other in the sky, locked in a deadlock.

"Sect Master Qinyun, what exactly did you offer this pre-entrance senior that he's fighting so hard?" the ugly-faced giant from the Hou Tu Sect suddenly asked, a gleam of curiosity in his eyes.

Two hundred thousand taels of gold my foot, is a pre-entrance expert's life that cheap? Must it not involve some kind of substantial sacrifice?

True Monarch Xiaotian, Wan Yangzi, and Fu Mo also looked over with similarly peculiar expressions, their glances shifting between Qinyun and Zhen Ruan.

"You misunderstood, I really don't know, I really only gave him twenty drops of Gold Essence."

"He just clicked with my daughter Xiaoruan."

Sect Master Qinyun's voice grew fainter, and his face turned beet-red....

"So that's how it is. Qinyun, with such a senior looking after you, I can rest easy."

"No wonder you didn't write to ask for help," True Monarch Xiaotian said with a sour tone.

"Ah, I see," muttered Wan Yangzi and the others, nodding in unison.

Under Hei Mietian's desperate move, Yi Chen's fierce halberd finally met its match, and even he was rebounded by the force, spitting out another mouthful of fresh blood. Fortunately, with the weakening ability of spatial shifting and the nourishing warm flow from the Origin Point, he was still able to continue fighting.

"I'm nearing my limit. I can only sustain such intense combat for three more moves."

"But that's enough."

At that moment, the energy organs within Yi Chen's body rapidly decomposed to support his Cultivation Body and heal his wounds. Facing the impressive momentum of Hei Mietian, a slight smile slowly emerged on his face.

He held the halberd in one hand and slowly rose to full height, his spine once again ramrod straight!

The previous overwhelming move was merely the 'Halberd Three: Earth Extinction.'

To deliver such power, it all relied on the unfinished, half-formed technique 'Inverse World.'

And now, he had understood it.

Bizarre energy suddenly spread, causing countless rocks to surge towards the sky.

"Annihilate and obliterate, the cycle of four techniques becomes 'Halberd Five: Devour Heaven and Earth; Reincarnation.'

"To imbue emotions into the five techniques, to reverse reincarnation, this is."

"Halberd Six: Inverse World!" Yi Chen suddenly looked up, his volume surging by eight decibels.

He swept his halberd horizontally, and twenty-eight golden divine figures within his body rose in unison, their movements synchronized with his own.

"World! World! World!"

Suddenly, an eerie chant echoed in the hearts of all the cultivators present on and around Hehuan Mountain, causing those with weaker cultivation to stumble, nearly falling over, feeling dizzy and congested.

Twenty-eight golden divine figures rose in unison.

The phantoms of a fierce dragon, an evil tiger, and a green ox divine pattern soared into the sky, then returned to Yi Chen's body.

"A thousand peaks stand alone."

"Ten thousand paths are untraveled."

"Holy Halberd questions the heavens."

"One technique, Vanquish God."

"Halberd Six: Inverse World; Vanquish God."

"I've grasped it."

Yi Chen roared to the heavens, his long hair flying wildly.

The feeling of elation surged again within Yi Chen as his figure shot upwards, then froze in place. A shadow identical to his own abruptly emerged, dashing toward Hei Mietian like a flash of lightning.

As this move was unleashed, the floating rocks in the sky seemed to be swept along, hurtling towards Hei Mietian's form, while at the same time, an extreme white light blasted from the tip of Yi Chen's halberd.

'Halberd Six: Inverse World; Vanquish God' was a formidable halberd technique combining soul-shocking power with boundless strength.

The 'Supreme True Martial God Halberd Technique' had reached a level beyond the realm of mortal techniques.

It should be known as 'Immortal Slaying Halberd Method.'

There is great terror between life and death!

A more terrifying true meaning than before enveloped Hei Mietian's form.

He felt his soul trembling.

How could the assault on the soul be avoided?

The speed at which the black dao marks in Hei Mietian's palm dissipated accelerated, suddenly starting to flicker.

Facing the threat of death, he stood up tall to meet the incoming attack.

The terrifying Corpse Flame True Fire reappeared, penetrating and neutralizing the white light shot from the tip of Yi Chen's halberd; the residual flame column struck Yi Chen's left palm, and in an instant, half of his arm vanished.

But he could not defend against the shadow that was identical to Yi Chen's own form, which passed through his body, extinguishing the flame of his life in an instant. (Reference: Sword Twenty-Three)

"Halberd Six: Inverse World; Vanquish God."

It severed both the physical body and the soul.

A perfect purple-gold palm suddenly plunged into the still-alive body of Hei Mietian, pulling out his corpse heart, turning it into a black torrent that furiously surged into Yi Chen's mouth.

An overwhelming energy assailed him.

The energy organ in Yi Chen's body, which had barely propped itself up and whose faint red light was almost extinguished, suddenly braced itself by half.

With this aid, the figures in his accupoints, whose golden divine light had faded, were slightly revitalized, their drooping heads lifting once more.

"Zhang... Sect Master Zhang, is your hand alright?"

After a long moment, Sect Master Qinyun stuttered, her voice clear as a spring.

"It's just half an arm, hardly worth mentioning."

"Grow!"

"Borrowing the energy of heaven!"

Yi Chen wiped the unknown black liquid from the corner of his mouth, and amid the shocked gazes of those around, the flesh bud at the site of his severed arm began to wriggle, growing at a visible rate.

Meanwhile, the energy organ inside his body that had managed to prop itself up began to sag once more.

The Body-Breaking Realm's ability, regenerating limbs, had now appeared before the world.
