Fang Lin Kong gazed at everything around him, lost in a dreamlike state, unable to comprehend what was happening. He could not understand the conversation between the two old Taoists. All he could do was watch as the two seemingly divine old priests engaged in a battle of spells. It felt as if something was suppressing his thoughts, leaving him devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
Voidbreaker and Liexiezi fought together, their battle enveloping the mountains for hundreds of miles in the brilliance of Flying Swords and freezing air. The scene was dazzling, with cold currents swirling around them, and for several hours, neither side could gain the upper hand.
The materials used to cultivate protective treasures were crucial. Some rare heavenly treasures and extraordinary materials inherently contained rich spiritual energy. When used for cultivation, even a small effort could yield tremendous results. Naturally, these items were highly sought after by practitioners. However, such treasures were not easily obtainable, and top-tier artifacts were not simple to refine. Some cultivators did not prioritize the cultivation of artifacts but instead focused on powerful spells. Although training in these spells required immense time investment, they had the advantage that once mastered, their power would grow alongside the practitioner's abilities. Unlike artifacts that could be rendered useless if damaged, spells offered more convenience in application. Finding Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for cultivating high-quality artifacts was no easy task. In contrast, those who dedicated themselves to mastering powerful spells would see their hard work rewarded.
Liexiezi had initially preferred to cultivate spells and possessed no formidable artifacts. However, after escaping from the Blue Plow Ancestor, he acquired several treasures he had cultivated throughout his life, significantly enhancing his strength. At this moment, he was not truly afraid of his senior brother.
Aqua Water Elite was the essence of the northern source of the five elements, painstakingly gathered by Liexiezi over many years of spell cultivation. Once unleashed, it transformed freely and unpredictably. When activated, the atmosphere instantly turned as frigid as midwinter; once lush forests were coated in frost. Aqua Water Elite itself formed an ice peak that protected Liexiezi within it. The transparent ice peak floating in the sky extended countless tendrils of icy air, resembling a dragon made of ice crystals.
Voidbreaker unleashed over a hundred Flying Swords; some tangled with these icy crystal dragons while others pierced through the ice mountain formed by Liexiezi's Aqua Water Elite. Yet Liexiezi seemed oblivious to it all. The razor-sharp sword light moved like a long rainbow; although it could shatter countless shards of ice from the peak, it grew larger almost instantaneously. Each strike only seemed to enhance its size rather than diminish it.
Seeing that his Flying Swords were ineffective against the enemy, Voidbreaker contemplated using another artifact to secure victory when Liexiezi had already anticipated this move and prepared countermeasures in advance. After all, why would he engage directly with a senior brother whose power surpassed his own by five hundred to a thousand years?
Once Liexiezi lured Voidbreaker's protective Flying Swords out, he seized the moment when Voidbreaker was fully focused on them and executed a spell in secret—initiating the Aqua Water Divine Art. With everything ready, he pointed upward; the previously clear sky suddenly darkened ominously. A cold light appeared from nowhere above them and rapidly expanded tenfold, casting an eerie glow across the land. The dozens of icy crystal dragons extending from the ice peak surged with newfound power, firmly gripping Voidbreaker's hundred Flying Swords.
Just as Voidbreaker grasped his artifact tightly in hand, he noticed an overwhelming cold light above him; despite having many Flying Swords at his disposal, he could only defend himself against it and realized that Liexiezi's skills had greatly advanced over the years—his spells truly formidable—leaving him astonished and unwilling to relax. He pointed upward to retract some of his Flying Swords while fully concentrating on resisting the descending chill.
At that moment, a fierce cold wind rose; angry waves roared as sinister winds howled around them. With a loud crash, sand and stones flew into the air as Liexiezi's protective ice peak suddenly shattered. Amidst colorful smoke flashes, an ice crystal dragon that had been coiled tightly on top of the peak now soared freely through the sky, chasing after Voidbreaker's long rainbow-like Flying Swords. A strange radiant arc followed closely behind—a fully transparent ice crystal dragon pursuing relentlessly.
Liexiezi understood that his senior brother's spells were astonishingly powerful and that any artifacts he crafted were among the best in existence. The Azure Sword Light that had intercepted him earlier was no ordinary Flying Sword; it was an Innate Sword Artifact from their Daoist Sect—divine in nature—and he might not be able to withstand it himself. Furthermore, when it came to magical prowess among contemporary practitioners, only a handful could rival his senior brother; he knew he stood no chance against him. To win would require taking risks. Thus without hesitation, he released his protective Azure Lightning.
This Azure Lightning took the form of weapons that resembled neither knives nor swords—known as Liexie Twin Hooks—they were treasures intrinsically linked to his life force. Originally forged during ancient times by merging primordial essence with millennia-old cold crystals by the Gonggong Clan and further refined through Kunlun Celestial Path's Patriarch's thunderous techniques; their power was immense and unparalleled. This was the first treasure bestowed upon him upon entering cultivation—a precious item he regarded as a second life and rarely wished to use lightly.
The Liexie Twin Hooks crackled with the power of thunder and ice, the chilling aura pressing down. The brilliant blue lightning surged forward in an instant, and although there were many Voidbreakers and Flying Swords, they could not all be recalled in time, leaving no choice but to avoid confrontation. Secretly gripping the Five Elements Escape Spirit Flag in his hand, he flipped it over and unfurled it against the wind. As he activated the escape technique, smoke swirled around him, hissing softly for a moment before dissipating, leaving the Voidbreaker nowhere to be found.
Liexiezi was both shocked and furious that his daring attack had failed. The Liexie Twin Hooks, possessing a remarkable spirit of their own, sought out the enemy's location after missing their target, shooting out beams of light that flickered unpredictably. They did not immediately return to Liexiezi's side.
Suddenly, a green light shot toward Liexiezi from behind. He quickly turned around to see the Voidbreaker, draped in flowing robes, having somehow appeared leisurely behind him. Without hesitation, he unleashed his protective sword light to counter.
The Voidbreaker remained silent, his fingers dancing as he unleashed a second and third wave of Azure Sword Light. In an instant, he released ten beams of Azure Sword Light, which soared and transformed like a dragon stirring the sea, intricately weaving through the air. The brilliance of Liexiezi's protective sword light dimmed under this onslaught, leaving him at a disadvantage.
Cultivators train with Flying Swords, gathering the essence of the five elements and refining metal into its purest form. It takes immense effort to cultivate even one Flying Sword, let alone to master it to such an extent that it becomes an Innate Sword Artifact. If not for the profound skill of the Voidbreaker, who had refined his Flying Sword to such a level that it possessed both form and spirit, he would not have been able to effortlessly produce so many sword lights.
These ten sword lights were unlike any other. The Innate Sword Artifact cultivated by the Voidbreaker had been refined to an ethereal state, possessing its own spirit while also harmonizing with his own vitality—truly extraordinary.
As Liexiezi struggled against the overwhelming force of the sword lights, he quickly retracted his Liexie Twin Hooks. In an instant, two brilliant blue lightning bolts blocked his path, emitting fiery red light that spiraled around him in a protective barrier.
Liexiezi understood that his senior brother's cultivation and magical prowess far surpassed his own; his artifact crafting skills were also beyond compare. Although this Solar Pearl was not considered an exceptionally powerful treasure, it perfectly countered his own Aqua Water Elite, creating a synergy between water and fire. He had already unleashed his protective ice peaks and could not retract the icy dragon in time. All he had left was a thin layer of freezing mist for protection; he dared not be reckless.
However, as he tightened his defenses with his magical artifact, the Voidbreaker rolled up the Five Elements Escape Spirit Flag, vanishing from sight once more.
The empty icy dragon intertwined with over a hundred beams of light from the Voidbreaker's Flying Swords. Liexiezi did not dare to recklessly recall them either. The same went for the Voidbreaker. Although his techniques were extraordinary and surpassed those of Liexiezi, engaging directly in battle risked injury for both sides—a prospect neither desired. Thus, they danced around each other, appearing and disappearing as they fought.
At this moment, Fang Lin Kong had long forgotten fear or surprise; witnessing such an exhilarating display of combat felt more vivid than any movie special effects or computer graphics. The sensation of something existing yet also being elusive made him realize that these spells would not harm him directly. It felt like being lost in a dream.
Seeing that despite being at a disadvantage, Liexiezi remained resilient only fueled the anger of the Voidbreaker. With a swift motion of his hands, he conjured balls of thunderfire that burst forth like firecrackers. A casual wave sent shockwaves through the air, shaking the ground with thunderous roars. He pressed down on the icy dragon unleashed by Liexiezi, compressing it into a single mass. The hundreds of sword lights intertwined gradually formed a cohesive force against the Aqua Water Elite. The ten beams of Azure Sword Light produced by his refined artifact matched up against the azure lightning from the Liexie Twin Hooks, resulting in a stalemate where neither side could gain ground.
Determined in his strategy, the Voidbreaker resolved to forcibly break through his opponent's protective magic and eliminate this unruly junior brother's Yuan Shen. With one hand pressing down, he amplified the power of over a hundred flying swords, pushing down on the trapped Aqua Water Elite toward the Liexie Twin Hooks. In an instant, they converged into one spot. Seizing this moment when Liexiezi was unable to defend adequately, he wrapped his sword light around both artifacts. Drawing forth ten beams of light from his innate sword artifact combined them into one; this singular beam of azure light suddenly blazed forth with tenfold intensity.
Liexiezi was ensnared by Voidbreaker's Thunder Control Technique, caught off guard as he watched Voidbreaker unleash Sword and Body as One. A blue rainbow of sword light tore through the heavens and earth, and he found himself unable to summon his nearby magical artifact in time. He was powerless to resist. The sword light circled around him, shattering the thin protective frost and the Solar Pearl, and in the blink of an eye, Liexiezi's corpse was severed in two by Voidbreaker's sword light.
Just as Voidbreaker was about to celebrate his victory after defeating his enemy with the Flying Sword, a sudden change occurred. From the severed remains of Liexiezi's body, a surge of red light erupted, charging towards Voidbreaker's protective sword light with tremendous force. Caught off guard, this red light carried immense potential, causing Voidbreaker's protective sword light to scatter slightly.
In that instant, countless golden stars hidden beneath the red light surged toward Voidbreaker's body through the minuscule gaps. As he prepared to use a Spell for protection, Voidbreaker felt an immediate sense of dread as these golden stars struck him; the protective Spell proved ineffective, and the surrounding aura was quickly eroded.
In a state of panic, a loud howl erupted from behind him. From the damaged remains of Liexiezi's body, a mass of vital energy coalesced into form—his original Yuan Shen.
He shouted loudly, "Brother! Your Innate Sword Artifact cannot withstand a full-force strike from my Haotian Divine Sword, which I obtained by chance. Although I cannot subdue this ancient Divine Weapon, it will be enough for you to enjoy when paired with Wutu Zhenluo."
Upon hearing the names Haotian Divine Sword and Wutu Zhenluo, Voidbreaker felt a surge of anger and disbelief. "How could such a divine artifact fall into your hands? You must have obtained it from the Ancient Immortal ruins back then!"
Liexiezi smiled brightly; although his physical body was destroyed, his Yuan Shen remained intact. The outcome of this battle was still uncertain. He had known that the sect had acquired treasures from the Ancient Immortal, which had spurred him to commit many heinous acts in pursuit of power. However, he had never been able to refine those celestial treasures for his own use—ultimately making it a loss rather than a gain. But this time, he was fortunate to possess this immensely powerful Ancient Celestial Weapon for his ambush against his brother.
Wutu Zhenluo was a Primordial Anomaly, slightly smaller than an ordinary locust but surrounded by innate Wutu true energy that absorbed the essence of cultivators' blood. Once it latched onto someone, it would burrow into their flesh and organs, making it impossible to remove. This move by Liexiezi was truly insidious.
Voidbreaker realized that his physical body was in grave danger. Unlike Liexiezi, he was close to Ascendence; only mundane matters had kept him tethered to the mortal realm. If he lost his physical form now, he would have no choice but to ascend to the celestial realm without delay. Liexiezi knew this well and had plotted accordingly with this poisonous scheme. At that moment, signs of decay were already evident in Voidbreaker's body as Wutu Zhenluo drained much of his essence; if not for his profound cultivation level, he would have already succumbed.
With no other options left, Voidbreaker unleashed a technique that enveloped him in a layer of golden light emanating from the crown of his head. This forced suppression countered Wutu Zhenluo's absorption. He abandoned entanglements with Liexiezi's various artifacts and gathered all his Flying Swords together to press forward against Liexiezi…
