Chapter 1588 - 157: Slaying the Demon

Chapter 1588: Chapter 157: Slaying the Demon

Cui Zhen spoke while gesturing.

He extended two fingers, pinching them to exaggerate the size of a tiny gap.

The implication was, Xie Xuanyi was merely a hair’s breadth away from comprehending the Origin...

"..."

Xie Xuanyi completely ignored these words, choosing to disregard them.

He knew in his heart that the previous enlightenment was merely like throwing a pebble into the Great Dao River, and it would be considered good enough to create a ripple.

Who could ascend to become Heavenly People overnight?

It’s all nonsense.

Great Dao cultivation proceeds step by step.

Today’s comprehension was similar to the Enlightenment at the mountain peak when he was fourteen, akin to casting a stone to probe the path. In the future, if he truly reached the point of touching the "Origin", would this stone truly stir waves.

"Alright, I’m done teasing you."

Cui Zhen restrained his smile and said seriously, "The inheritance from Great Ape Mountain you obtained in the [Ruins], should be related to the Fighting Technique, right?"

Xie Xuanyi’s aptitude.

He was aware of it.

However, comprehending the Origin isn’t that simple.

Saint Prince’s application of the Fighting Technique allows all observers to gain some insights from it.

Yet, Xie Xuanyi’s sudden enlightenment is probably related to the inherited legacy.

"That’s right."

Xie Xuanyi didn’t deny it.

Primordial Immortal Technique and the Fighting Technique performed by the Saint Emperor share the same origin!

Even Hong Da probably didn’t anticipate, in the end of the dharma era where Primordial Energy was exhausted, someone could discover the "Origin of Battle", the Saint Emperor was truly a remarkable figure, almost reaching the "end point" even without the Primordial Immortal Hall’s inheritance.

It’s just a pity.

Born in the wrong era.

"Though the Fighting Technique is good, it cannot guide you to the true Other Shore."

Cui Zhen said seriously, "Your Dao is ’Life and Death’. The path you need to take is different from the Saint Prince."

"I understand."

Xie Xuanyi said calmly, "This Fighting Technique... I am merely observing."

"Wait a minute."

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch suddenly furrowed his eyebrows.

He looked into the distance and said solemnly, "Isn’t something wrong?"

Inside the Barrier at Fighting Holy Peak.

The mountains crumbled and shook the heavens and earth.

Saint Prince continued to suppress Nether Sea Venerable, but the radiant light emanating from him was dimmer than before.

"The Divine Thought of Saint Emperor... has dissipated partially."

Cui Zhen squinted his eyes.

"Will this fight end unfinished?"

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch felt a pang of anxiety.

He was most fearful of such a situation, fearing the complete exhaustion of the Saint Emperor’s lingering thought during the evolution of the Fighting Technique.

This hard battle made him uneasy.

"It shouldn’t end unfinished."

Xie Xuanyi’s gaze fell on Saint Prince.

Though the golden light had dimmed by thirty percent.

But Saint Prince’s demeanor remained composed and calm... He did not appear to be without backup.

As soon as he finished speaking.

A deep voice echoed in his Heart Lake.

["Xie Xuanyi."]

Xie Xuanyi was slightly startled.

He looked towards the distance.

Saint Prince, while performing the Fighting Technique, cast a glance over.

["It is I."]

The transmitted voice was calm and unhurried, with a hint of laughter. Upon closer listening, one would notice a touch of admiration in Saint Prince’s eyes.

"Saint Emperor..."

Xie Xuanyi was stunned.

["This soul thought of mine is almost exhausted, the evolution of the Fighting Technique has ended."]

Saint Emperor said warmly.

["You should have gained some insights, right?"]

Clearly.

Xie Xuanyi’s earlier enlightenment didn’t escape the Saint Emperor’s sensing.

"Thank you..."

Xie Xuanyi thought for a moment, eventually expressing his gratitude.

Years ago.

The Saint Emperor stood against the Human Race.

He and Xie Xuanyi’s Master were mortal enemies, having fought and clashed multiple times.

But now, the Saint Emperor had indeed lent a helping hand.

If the Saint Emperor hadn’t intervened in the Ruins, Xie Xuanyi might have been buried under the sand dunes, ending his second life of cultivation.

"No need to thank me."

Saint Emperor chuckled, saying lightly, "This soul thought of mine can linger a little longer in this world... There are things I wish to discuss with you after the war concludes."

"What do you mean?"

Xie Xuanyi was puzzled.

"To kill this wretch, you might need to contribute a bit of effort."

Saint Emperor shifted the topic, "Suppressing him isn’t difficult, but exterminating him requires a considerable amount of effort."

Currently, Nether Sea was no longer a Demon Cultivator.

Leaving aside this dragon body.

More than half of his bloodline had fused with the "Shadow" and opposed the Heavenly Dao, exchanging for the undying and undying filthy Origin.

Even if he was bruised and battered by the Fighting Technique, Nether Sea Venerable still didn’t face any threat to his life, only a bit ragged and miserable... Once the Saint Emperor stopped, these injuries would soon recover.

He would not die just like that.

"What should I do?"

Xie Xuanyi looked serious.

"In the battle of Falcon Wind Gorge, you snatched a Lifebound Sword from Master Ni Yu."

Saint Emperor calmly said.

Though he was secluded in Great Ape Mountain, his Divine Thought had entered the River of Destiny, knowing the past and future events here.

This little incident could not escape the Saint Emperor.

"Yes."

Xie Xuanyi candidly admitted, "I snatched this sword with my own abilities, I won’t return it to her."

Saint Emperor laughed at this.

This boy was indeed different than he imagined.

"Rest assured, I won’t make you return it."

Saint Emperor said, "This Bronze Sword is naturally yours in your hands, you should have noticed... The material of this Bronze Sword feels quite familiar."

"I recently found the Primordial Immortal Hall left by the First Generation Saint Emperor in the [Ruins]."

Xie Xuanyi said, "This material is called ’Bronze Immortal Gold’, that ruin is full of it."

"That’s right."

Saint Emperor wasn’t surprised by the existence of the Primordial Immortal Hall, "Bronze Immortal Gold is the key to exterminating this wretch... The Bronze Sword in your hand is cast with Immortal Gold, most importantly, the sages of the past in Great Ape Mountain left an immensely powerful inscription on this sword. A single sword cannot destroy Evil Spirits, but paired with the inscription, the effect is different."
