Chapter 879 - 608: [Sequence Perfection]_2

On the hull, stone patterns lit up, and the ferocious beast head at the bow opened its huge mouth, spewing dark red flames, crashing fiercely toward Xu Yuanji.

Xu Yuanji’s expression did not change, still indifferent. He lightly shook his sleeve, and a stream of light flew out from within, transforming into a Mountain and River Map.

——It was the Xuanxiao Mountain and River Map!

As the map unfolded, it instantly expanded, covering the sky, with mountains and rivers clearly visible within. A vast suction emanated from the map and wrapped around the charging bronze warship, making it disappear instantly, absorbed into the Mountain and River Map.

The Stone Man Sect Leader saw this, happy inside:

"Gotcha!"

He gently traced his finger, pointing fiercely towards the void.

Screech——

The ear-piercing sound of tearing echoed as the void, like a fragile curtain, was ripped apart.

A pitch-black fissure stretched across the heavens and earth, dividing this space into two distinctly different worlds.

The fissure was thin as a cicada’s wing yet indestructible, like a natural moat, completely isolating Xu Yuanji and his Xuanxiao Mountain and River Map.

Xu Yuanji was instantly thrown into another world, while the Mountain and River Map remained in the original space.

"Not good!"

Xu Yuanji’s expression changed drastically as he turned to look beyond the boundary, at the isolated Mountain and River Map.

It was merely a line of distance, yet as distant as heaven and earth. He could clearly see the glow of the Mountain and River Map but could not reach it regardless.

The Power of Eternal Night was also greatly weakened by the spatial isolation.

Beyond the boundary, the Stone Man Sect Leader laughed wildly, his voice arrogant, echoing through the heavens:

"How is it? Xu Yuanji! This place is the Stone Spirit Realm, forged by our sect over five thousand years, isolating all external forces."

"Especially your Eternal Night Daoist Technique, here, you cannot use even a shred!"

"I want to see how much Mana you have left, how you can be fierce before me!"

"Without the Xuanxiao Mountain and River Map, entering my Stone Spirit Realm, don’t think of escaping!"

Xu Yuanji turned slowly, looking at the surroundings of the Stone Spirit Realm, his expression gradually turning cold.

Underfoot, the ground kept crumbling, with massive fissures spreading out, dark red magma gushing from the cracks, radiating a scorching heat.

Around the mountain walls, countless boulders fell, quickly squirming, coagulating upon landing, transforming into towering Stone Spirits, their bodies like mountains, eyes emitting scarlet light, collectively roaring.

Roar——

The roar shook the heavens.

Countless Stone Spirits swung massive stone fists, rushing at Xu Yuanji, the Evil Qi soaring to the sky, unstoppable.

Xu Yuanji’s eyes turned cold, his fingertips slightly moved, forming Seal Techniques, his voice deep and resolute:

"Dividing two realms, what a Void Divine Technique!"

"Just as it shatters, you birthed a space divine technique, even designed to separate me and the Mountain and River Map; I underestimated you."

He paused, a touch of cold flashed in his eyes, and continued:

"But, do you think, with merely Martial Arts’ secret martial divine techniques, you can trap Xu Yuanji?"

As his words fell, Xu Yuanji rapidly formed Seal Techniques with both hands, a strange flesh and blood aura gradually enveloped him, entirely different from his original Dao Qi— it was the Power of Origin from the Stone Man Sutra.

He intended to invoke the Stone Man Sutra’s ancestral trick, create a black hole outside the boundary, using the suction to force the Stone Man Sect Leader into Ascension.

Yet, as the Seal Techniques settled, a weak black hole slowly appeared in the void, with no suction transmitted, like a dead silent hollow, unresponsive.

The Stone Man Sect Leader laughed even more wildly, almost in tears, his voice hoarse and piercing:

"Hahaha! Xu Yuanji, you’re too naive!"

"We are well aware of the Stone Man Sutra’s origin; that so-called ancestral trick was completely cut off by us a hundred years ago!"

"Did you think I would dare to lure you into a trap without preparation?"

Xu Yuanji was silent for a moment, slowly raised his eyes, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, and sighed deeply:

"Since it is so, then it can only be this way."

In an instant, the aura around him abruptly changed, the previously calm and reserved Dao Qi vanished instantly, replaced by a wild, primal, bloody aura.

It belonged not to the Eternal Night Daoist Technique but to the terrifying power of the secret martial arts of flesh and blood.

Ssss——

The skin reddened and ulcerated, bloody fluid seeped out, the smell pungent.

The Xuanxiao Daoist Robe shattered inch by inch.

His body swiftly withered like wood, chest cracked open, organs exposed, multicolored and writhing, hiding extreme ferocity amidst decay.

Boom——

The terrifying aura swept through the Stone Spirit Realm.

The void trembled fiercely, and the Stone Spirits rushing forward shattered instantly under the impact of the aura.

The Stone Man Sect Leader’s face changed drastically, the arrogant grin on his face froze suddenly, eyes filled with shock and fear, he exclaimed hoarsely:

"You... you also cultivated secret martial arts?! And at the Shattering level?!"

Xu Yuanji coughed blood, a cold smile forming at the corner of his mouth:

"Since you discovered the origin of the Stone Man Sutra, you should understand— the path of secret martial arts, the Eternal Night Daoist Technique, were created by the founder of my Xuanxiao Daoism."

The Stone Man Sect Leader was terrified, shaking his head repeatedly, eyes full of disbelief:

"Impossible! That’s just a legend... The two major cultivation systems can’t possibly be dual cultivated at a high level..."

Saying this, he suddenly fell silent!

Because, a real example was right before his eyes.

Xu Yuanji’s withered right hand clenched fiercely, a more terrifying aura erupted around him, malevolence surging to the sky.

"Now... it’s my turn."

Boom——!!!

A shadow flashed, a punch thrown, black and white intertwined, the force of the punch swirled with two ultimate forces.

Bang——

The Spirit Tide of stones shattered, debris flying.

The punch did not stop, the barrier cracked wide, spider webs spread, and instantly crumbled.
