Chapter 1650: Chapter 212: Entering the World (Sixth Update)

"The broken mirror can be made whole again, spilled water can be retrieved..."

"In this battle, I am defeated."

Amidst the flying snow, a gentle sigh echoed.

Cui Zhen raised his head, staring at the figure shrouded in Paper Snow. At this moment, he needed to lean on the Mallet Blade just to barely stand.

A slash was delivered, yet Lu Yuzhen did not die.

The outcome was already determined.

Cui Zhen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

He was prepared for death.

The blade just now was delivered without reservation, depleting all his strength.

He knew.

Even with the "Longevity Lamp" and "Undying Spring" — reversing the situation was impossible.

Lu Yuzhen’s Dao Domain could reverse cause and effect.

This kind of divine skill had already surpassed Cui Zhen’s understanding.

He had to admit, this was almost... an unbeatable opponent.

"You’re strong."

"Just a bit more... and you would have the chance to kill me."

Lu Yuzhen slightly turned his head, looking back at the collapsing Snow Mountain ranges.

He gave a remarkably high evaluation.

Yet Cui Zhen merely smiled.

He knew.

The so-called "a bit more" was indeed quite far off.

From the very beginning, the outcome between the two was already decided, Lu Yuzhen wasn’t lying, even if he had spent ten arduous years in cultivation... the additional chance of victory would be only ten percent at best.

Lu Yuzhen had cultivated the "Space-Time Dao Realm" to such an extent. In this world, is there truly anyone who can defeat him?

Suddenly, a figure floated across Cui Zhen’s mind.

It’s unlikely.

That guy might also find it difficult.

Just when Lu Yuzhen raised the "Daoist Brush" again, a voice suddenly emerged.

"You cannot kill him."

The voice came without any warning, appearing out of thin air.

Lu Yuzhen slightly froze.

Cui Zhen was also stunned, subconsciously turning his head.

Only to see a figure in black appear at the edge of the Snow Mountain, the person not yet arrived, but the voice had already reached them.

That figure in black lightly stepped forth, seemingly casually, yet directly walked from the end of the Snow Mountain into the space between the two.

This was no ordinary "Crossing the Void"—

The entire realm harmonized with his path.

Rather than saying...

He walked here.

It might be better said.

The realm delivered him to the endpoint.

"Xie Xuanyi?"

Cui Zhen was somewhat surprised, he knew that Xie Xuanyi had been in seclusion for the past two years, but hadn’t expected Xie Xuanyi to emerge at such a moment.

Divine Thought swept across.

Cui Zhen’s expression turned peculiar.

Xie Xuanyi’s current realm... was only at the Eighth Heaven, not having broken through.

Moreover, the soul thought aura wasn’t particularly strong, seemingly unchanged compared to two years ago.

"You’ve finally arrived."

Seeing Xie Xuanyi’s figure.

Lu Yuzhen revealed a smile; however, the next moment, he furrowed his brows.

"Eighth Heaven..."

Lu Yuzhen gazed at Xie Xuanyi and said coldly, "What have you been cultivating all these years?"

Though trapped within the River of Destiny.

In the ten years gone by, everything happening in the Flower Bud World was under the control of the Paperman Sect, Cheng Er being the "Anchor Point" of this world, constantly observing the dynamics of both realms.

Thus.

Lu Yuzhen knew, the Great Palace Master was attentively fostering Jiang Huang, Cui Zhen leisurely cultivating as a loose cultivator in the Snow Mountain.

Regarding these two.

He didn’t have much hope.

From the beginning to the end, the strongest he wished to challenge was none other than one person.

For ten years...

Xie Xuanyi had been arduously cultivating.

In the last two years, he even sealed Lotus Peak and secluded himself in the Life and Death Gate.

Because of this, Lu Yuzhen descended upon the Heavenly Phoenix Palace for his first battle.

In his plan.

The Da Sui Sword Palace, where Xie Xuanyi was, was meant to be the final destination.

He would first kill the Great Palace Master, then Cui Zhen...

To conclude these two strongest.

Only then it would be Xie Xuanyi’s turn!

"I’m sorry."

Xie Xuanyi didn’t refute anything, only chuckled lightly, "I’ve disappointed you."

"..."

Lu Yuzhen’s face turned grim.

The Daoist Master suddenly swung his sleeve, murderous intent spilled like ink, once more he slashed toward Cui Zhen with the "Daoist Brush".

Indeed, Lu Yuzhen was greatly disappointed.

Xie Xuanyi hadn’t achieved perfection, which meant... his long-awaited battle of the strongest would be postponed.

He would additionally grant Xie Xuanyi some cultivation time.

However.

Cui Zhen’s life, he would claim today!

"Screech!"

Under the grand pressure of the "Space-Time Dao Realm".

Cui Zhen seemed trapped in a quagmire, unable to move. Facing the piercing of the Daoist Brush, he could only watch, wanting to survive, needing to squeeze out strength for one more parry.

The earlier slash.

Had already drained him of all strength.

A second draw of the blade, how could it be easy?

Just then, an unexpected event occurred.

Xie Xuanyi directly moved.

He stepped forward once more, in this space-time Dao realm, Xie Xuanyi seemed utterly unaffected by the suppression of the Great Dao—

With a single step, he reached in front of Cui Zhen.

"???"

Witnessing such a sudden change.

Both Cui Zhen and Lu Yuzhen were taken aback.

The more astonishing event followed, in face of the Daoist Brush’s stab, Xie Xuanyi chose a tremendously simple yet equally brutal response.

Stretched out his hand. ⅇ𝒃𝚗ℴ

Took the hit directly.

With a muffled sound, flesh ruptured.

The Daoist Brush pierced through the palm, copious amounts of blood gushed out, resembling a stagnant splashed ink painting within the Dao Realm.

Xie Xuanyi let out a muffled groan, the Daoist Brush penetrating his hand, he retreated two steps, using his own flesh as the price to halt the strike.

Cui Zhen stared in shock at this scene.

It seemed as though he understood something.

"Rustle."

In the next moment.

The Dao Realm was lifted, Lu Yuzhen proactively retrieved the Daoist Brush.

A shower of blood scattered to the ground from the air.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi, who was supposed to suffer serious injuries, merely frowned, glanced down at his hand, as though the stabbing he suffered moments ago wasn’t a fatal injury. Under the Void Dao’s bombardment, the entire arm’s Sacred Body’s muscles and bones shattered.

However, accompanied by the evaporation of moisture, these muscles and bones rapidly recovered back to normal.

As the possessor of the Undying Spring.

This was not an astonishing fact.

Yet... both Cui Zhen and Lu Yuzhen could discern, the vapor swirling in Xie Xuanyi’s palm wasn’t from the Undying Spring.

"Life Dao?"

Lu Yuzhen suddenly chuckled, "Great Success of Life Path?"

At this moment, the vapor swirling around Xie Xuanyi’s palm was the Path of Life.

Over a millennium.

Only two individuals, could cultivate it to Great Success.

One was the Zen Master.

The other was now Xie Xuanyi.

Compared to the Zen Master, Xie Xuanyi’s achievements were more challenging... because what he was cultivating was not just one Great Dao.

Xie Xuanyi’s realm had always been constrained by the insights from Life Dao.

Yin God, Yang God, all were affected.

Now, the "Great Success of Life Path" that he showcased was a symbol of Yang God Perfection.

Thus, Xie Xuanyi should have smoothly reached the Realm of Nine Heavens of Yang God.

However.

At this moment, Xie Xuanyi’s aura indeed remained at the "Eighth Heaven".

Just now, confronting the Daoist Brush.

Xie Xuanyi took the hit with his flesh without employing a Flying Sword.

Reflecting on the preceding scenes, Cui Zhen’s speculations were confirmed.

"You rascal..."

Cui Zhen rubbed his temples, sighed in frustration, reluctantly asking: "Could it be you’ve only sent a single avatar over?"
