Chapter 575 - 287: The End of Everything

Chapter 575: Chapter 287: The End of Everything

Shangguan Yu’s [Northern Celestial Might Domain] can suppress all external spells and Divine Techniques, drastically weakening or even nullifying their power, making the flow of Magical Power sluggish as if trapped in a quagmire.

However, Chu Xuan was not easily enveloped. The pitch-black [Realm of Unity] simultaneously unfolded, and the gold-white and dark domains collided, unexpectedly holding their ground in the confrontation!

Meanwhile, Chu Xuan also drew his sword, and the cyan sword light spread out like gold from a mine, like the moon above the clouds, a cold gleam beyond the catastrophe of sound.

"Clang~!"

One white and one cyan sword light tore through the sky, leaving behind persistent sword marks in the air, achieving a draw yet again.

Notably, Chu Xuan’s cyan sword light contained threads of blood, giving a very ominous feeling.

Shangguan Yu fixed a grim gaze on Chu Xuan; beneath his mask, Chu Xuan’s eyes had turned completely red, and even his body trembled slightly as if striving to endure something.

"You pay such a great price to borrow power that doesn’t belong to you. Do you really think you’ll have a good outcome?"

Chu Xuan displayed a mocking smile, "You should first worry about yourself. I can slowly drag it out with you, but can you afford to?"

In reality, Shangguan Yu was not in good condition either. He pretended everything was fine but secretly gritted his teeth in endurance.

Yet at the moment of action, his physical body showed signs of collapse; his Magical Power flowed unsteadily, his primordial spirit teetered on the brink of collapse, his black hair turned white, wrinkles crept across his face, and even his firm Dao heart was on the verge of shattering, with illusions appearing in his mind, various inner demons manifesting.

The "Five Decays of Heaven and Man" on Shangguan Yu, from the heavens and earth, meant that once resonating with nature, calamities would ceaselessly follow, strengthening until they completely took his life.

Therefore, for him, this battle could not be prolonged; he must quickly resolve the duel with the demonic force.

"We’ll see who dies first!"

Shangguan Yu formed a seal with his hands, chanting lightning incantations at an incredible pace. Suddenly, a multitude of purple thunderbolts descended from the heavens! Like divine retribution, everything within a thousand miles was obliterated, leaving the world seemingly filled solely with endless thunderstorms.

Heavenly Purity Purple Firmament Divine Lightning!

Chu Xuan bathed in the ocean formed by the intertwining lightning, channeling his Cultivation Technique to voraciously absorb the energy from the purple lightning along with his domain. Yet, he was still harmed by this terrifying thunderstorm, unable to fully absorb it.

However, he cared little for this as his mind felt hazy, filled with a thirst for blood and slaughter, as though only by killing all living things before him could he find some semblance of comfort.

Moreover, a higher-dimensional being seemed to gaze down coldly at him from infinite heights.

Forcing himself to endure the tearing and pain from within, Chu Xuan grasped the Divine Command and activated "Heaven and Earth Manipulation."

Suddenly, the thunder disappeared into thin air, and at the same moment, Chu Xuan ignored distance and appeared before Shangguan Yu, slicing him into two with one sword!

"Heaven and Earth Manipulation" isn’t the utmost strength like the Law of Heaven and Earth but the pinnacle of "control" and "dominion." Within this realm, Chu Xuan was like a sovereign, capable of arbitrarily altering the fundamental laws of the universe.

This includes altering natural phenomena, such as reversing day and night, confusing directions, as well as changing laws, such as manipulating space and adjusting the flow of time.

Of course, achieving such feats requires sufficient understanding of the corresponding fundamental laws.

At this moment, Chu Xuan first obliterated the thunder, then altered "distance," successfully executing this ambush.

However, after Shangguan Yu was severed, not a single drop of blood flowed; instead, each half of his body formed a new self.

Simultaneously, the Immortal Swords in the hands of both Shangguan Yus struck at Chu Xuan!

"Clang~ Clang~" With two sounds, one sword was blocked by Chu Xuan using the Cyan Willow Sword, the other desperately caught by his gauntlet, and surprisingly both swords were real.

The two Shangguan Yus evilly grinned and twisted off their own heads, instantly transforming into four, attacking in unison!

This time, Chu Xuan couldn’t fully defend against all their attacks, and a sword pierced the area not covered by his neck armor, with sword Qi erupting from the wound, bursting into a large blood bloom.

In the past, Chu Xuan never saw Shangguan Yu use such sinister means. It seems he had indeed fallen quite a bit over the years. Since he could even consume humans, practicing demonic techniques hardly seemed like crossing a new line.

"Chu Xuan, stop hiding."

Shangguan Yu’s voice echoed from all directions, "Where is that banner?"

In order to launch a close attack, Chu Xuan caused their domains to overlap instead of directly clashing, subjecting each other to incomplete negative effects.

His offensive was weakened, while Shangguan Yu’s power was quietly absorbed, making it impossible for Shangguan Yu to drag this out further.

Chu Xuan’s breathing was somewhat labored, his head feeling like it was about to split open.

He didn’t respond, instead, wiping his hand over the wound on his neck, forcing it to heal, while the invading sword Qi was consumed by his demonic technique.

Then, with the Divine Command’s power not yet exhausted, this time he chose to slow down time.

Of course, Chu Xuan’s own time flow wasn’t affected. A starkly beautiful streak of blood light flashed through the air, containing an ancient, destructive, bloody intent.
