Chapter 1658: Chapter 220: Brahma Chant

"...What’s this?"

Lu Yuzhen was startled for a moment, then immediately realized what had happened.

Before he could establish [Dao Domain].

Xie Xuanyi had already established his [Dao Domain].

Lu Yuzhen knew, during Xie Xuanyi’s travels in the Demon Country, when facing Great Divine Power users, he had cultivated a Divine Skill named [Gathering]. This skill could condense Sword Qi into a cage, and what he currently faced was precisely such a cage.

Therefore.

This battle taking place in Phoenix Seal City was not because Xie Xuanyi was indifferent to the fate of Li Kingdom’s creatures.

But because...

Xie Xuanyi had planned from the beginning to use [Gathering] to sever the heavens and earth.

Not waiting for Lu Yuzhen to act.

Once [Gathering] was established, it self-destructed within a breath.

The outer world gradually unfolded—

The two had been shifted into an ancient temple.

Around them stood towering statues of Buddhas, the Four Great Heavenly Kings, and the Eighteen Arhats.

"Fan Yin Temple?"

Lu Yuzhen squinted his eyes, an ominous feeling subtly arose in his Heart Lake.

For him.

It didn’t matter where the battle began.

Fan Yin Temple, Taoist sects, Da Sui Sword Palace... these thousand-year Holy Lands, as long as the Three Religions Ancestors weren’t hiding in a Pocket World, it all didn’t matter.

"Don’t worry, it’s just me alone."

Xie Xuanyi stood before the Bodhisattva statue and calmly said, "You challenged me to a battle, hoping to seize this chance, to break through to Yang God, and become a Heavenly Human."

"Yes."

Lu Yuzhen responded indifferently.

His intentions were clear, there was no need to hide.

"In this world, the Heavenly Dao is shattered, the Primordial Energy is deficient."

Xie Xuanyi said, "No matter how we fight... achieving promotion is impossible."

"So?"

Lu Yuzhen chuckled coldly.

"Aren’t you curious about how I can ignore your [Space-Time Dao Realm]?"

Xie Xuanyi lowered his hands.

Today, Fan Yin Temple was empty.

Lu Yuzhen extended his Divine Thought, discovering the [Gathering] Divine Skill hadn’t completely dissipated, but instead expanded its range, enveloping the entire Main Sect of Fan Yin Temple, about a mile radius.

Because his Divine Thought could only cover a mile.

Within this mile radius, there were no living creatures, no birds singing, the silence was deafening.

"Why?"

Lu Yuzhen asked.

"For the past thousand years, only you have harmonized the [Time Dao] and [Path of Void]."

Xie Xuanyi said slowly, "But these two Great Dao... weren’t cultivated solely by you."

Path of Void—

Venerable Ling and Ling Chenzi have both successfully cultivated it.

Time Dao—

After ascending to Yang God, Chen Chong gradually grasped this Tao Realm.

"Oh?"

Lu Yuzhen’s eyes brightened at this moment, suddenly realizing the key to Xie Xuanyi’s method of breaking the stalemate.

Indeed, their confrontation lasted only a brief moment.

But over the years...

Xie Xuanyi’s [Life Avatar] explored the Four Realms, visited Holy Lands and renowned sects, gaining numerous opportunities to "Swallow Dao."

"You used [Primordial Swallow] to absorb ’Time Dao’, ’Path of Void’..."

Lu Yuzhen murmured.

"Correct."

Xie Xuanyi admitted, "Your ’Time Dao’, and ’Path of Void’... I’ve seen many times."

However, this wasn’t the crux.

"Heavenly Dao is shattered."

"Therefore, to transcend in the Great Dao, one needs ’Harmonization’."

Xie Xuanyi paused and slowly said, "A thousand years ago, achieving Heavenly Human was far less troublesome..."

A thousand years ago, during the Golden Era, many Heavenly Humans were born.

In that glittering era.

The number of Harmonizers was far rarer compared to Heavenly Humans.

Thus it is evident.

Harmonization... isn’t the key to becoming a Heavenly Human, this extremely demanding requirement is actually the inevitable path to becoming Immortal.

"I know what you say is right, but it’s useless now."

Lu Yuzhen replied flatly, "Because now is a thousand years later."

"What if we return to a thousand years ago?"

Xie Xuanyi suddenly said.

This statement caused the entire Fan Yin Temple to fall silent.

"You..."

Lu Yuzhen was bewildered, gazing at the person before him.

This notion.

Is indeed quite unthinkable, quite astonishing.

"You’ve been able to activate [Space-Time Dao Realm], reverse the River of Destiny."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly, "Thus breaking the Break Point, returning to a thousand years ago... isn’t impossible."

The world is fragmented, hence to transcend in the Great Dao requires "Harmonization."

The fusion of two Taoist Intents, perfectly intertwined.

Harmonizers are the dominators of this realm.

Whether it was Xie Xuanyi, or Lu Yuzhen, or even Cui Zhen...

A thousand years ago, they would have been the top-tier beings in the universe, because the Harmonizer itself has already reached Supreme.

However, the essence of "Harmonization" is the perfect merging of perfection.

Lu Yuzhen never imagined what the scenario would be like if two Harmonizers joined forces.

"So you chose the final battlefield here..."

Paperman Taoist hesitated for a moment, speaking softly.

"Do you wish to enter the River of Destiny?"

Lu Yuzhen’s expression suddenly changed.

The unease in his Heart Lake surged once again.

"Yes."

Xie Xuanyi calmly replied, "The true battlefield of this battle, doesn’t lie in Great Chu, nor in Da Li... but in the River of Destiny..."

"Absurd!"

Lu Yuzhen’s forehead veins bulged.

In the River of Destiny, he suffered countless losses, and over the millennium, faced numerous pursuits.

After finally arriving here!

How could he return there again, stirring up this chaos?

"I’m sorry."

Xie Xuanyi said coldly, "This time, you still have no choice."

It’s not just Lu Yuzhen who wants to ascend to Heavenly Human.

Xie Xuanyi...

Likewise wants to ascend!

As the voice fell, the quiet Main Sect of Fan Yin Temple suddenly resonated with grand bell and drum sounds. The Four Great Heavenly Kings, the Eighteen Arhats in the Buddhist Temple seemed to "come alive" at this moment, countless gold light shone in this darkened world.

"Swish swish swish!"

Golden rays fell upon Lu Yuzhen.

Even though snow swirled inside the Buddhist Temple.

Lu Yuzhen still felt danger and retreated, yet the void was sealed by the sword domain. Even if he summoned the Pure White Saint, and struck with all force, it was in vain, as the rolling thunder echoed, spreading in all directions, not only failing to shatter the sword domain, but inciting even fiercer booming.

"You yourself haven’t stepped into Divine Travel..."

Lu Yuzhen accused, "Yet you wish to drag me into the River of Destiny?"

"What was impossible before, isn’t impossible now."

Xie Xuanyi watched indifferently.

The Four Great Heavenly Kings, the Eighteen Arhats, like divine Buddhas peering down at human affairs.

The thunder sound initiated by Lu Yuzhen continued to spread, cycling endlessly, like sea tides layering progressively higher.

Finally.

A Sword Qi slipped from Xie Xuanyi’s sleeve, he grasped it with his Holy Body Dharma Aspect, and heavily struck the distant void.

A loud bang!

The entire Main Sect Temple was enveloped by the grand, majestic Brahma sound!
