Chapter 1166 - 1166: Life and Death Realm

Clang!

A cold gleam suddenly appeared, swiftly standing in front of Liu Zixuan, forcibly blocking the Youming Emperor's violent strike.

The Youming Emperor angrily cursed, "Who dares to interfere with my affairs!"

"He is not human!" Liu Zixuan's palm paused, directly reaching into the cold gleam, and suddenly Sword Intent emerged, the Nameless Sword shining with cold light was revealed.

Buzz~!

A clear sword hum sounded, the Nameless Sword erupted with a fierce attack, forming a semi-arc shape towards the Youming Emperor.

The Youming Emperor raised the scarlet saber in his hand, and with a sway, a burst of Qi scattered out, colliding with the Nameless Sword Intent.

Boom!

Rumble!

The aftermath rippled, resembling a boulder falling into water, splashing countless droplets; only here, they were waves of Qi, shattering nearby rocks and trees.

"So strong." The Youming Emperor secretly thought, his eyes fixated on Liu Zixuan's sword, "Has it birthed a Sword Spirit?"

"This sword, Nameless!" Liu Zixuan stood proudly in mid-air, his entire body at its peak, with the Youming Emperor claiming the title of Emperor, completely unmatched!

Looking at the powerful Sword Intent emanating from the Nameless Sword, sensing Liu Zixuan's domineering aura, the Youming Emperor frowned, "First hiding your strength, making me think you reached the Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven with elixirs, now brandishing a sword with a Sword Spirit. You've truly surprised me!"

"The surprises for you have only just begun!" Liu Zixuan poised his sword edge, pointing directly at Youming Emperor, "So, it's my turn to strike!"

After speaking, Liu Zixuan disappeared like a phantom, appearing less than two meters from the Youming Emperor, his sword edge raised, ready to strike.

Clang!

With the advantage of his realm, the Youming Emperor's reactions were naturally not lacking; he raised his hand to easily block with the scarlet saber, but the clash made the weapon vibrate intensely, causing even his arm to ache!

A sinister expression emerged between his brows, his wrist flicked to push Liu Zixuan back, suddenly the scarlet saber detached from its hilt, under control of an iron chain, it headed directly towards Liu Zixuan's face.

The iron chain was extremely strange, infinitely lengthening, emitting invisible attacks constantly disrupting Liu Zixuan's defense.

Whiz!

Whiz!

Bang bang bang!

Liu Zixuan swung the Nameless Sword to block those invisible attacks, yet with the scarlet blade as the main attack, it was difficult to completely fend off, soon multiple blood streaks appeared from being pierced.

After retreating several dozen meters, Liu Zixuan's arms, legs, and back were all stained with blood.

"No matter how you hide your strength, or possess a sword with a Sword Spirit, don't forget, your realm is still not as high as mine." The Youming Emperor's eyes flashed, his aura becoming even more fiercely unleashed.

Standing between heaven and earth, he quickly suppressed Liu Zixuan's momentum, as if he was an Emperor overlooking all beings.

"Has he broken through to that realm?"

Previously knocked back, Zhao Yi and others returned, standing at the original spot, muttering with pale faces.

"The previous aura was extremely stable, and now it's violently manifesting, easily changing and shifting aura, it must be that realm." Jiang Yunxuan took a deep breath, "Brother Xuan is indeed strong at the same realm, but facing someone of that realm, perhaps his Innate Emperor Realm Third Heaven strength isn't enough!"

"I thought earlier he already broke through, but never imagined after the breakthrough he would be so strong." Zhao Yi squeezed his forehead, looking towards Liu Zixuan who was also injured. For a moment, he also felt unsure.

And Liu Zixuan, secretly channeling the Holy Medical Scripture to repair his injuries, looked up at the Youming Emperor, "You are indeed a bit higher in realm than me, but only half a step higher, you haven't completely broken through to that realm!"

"You all talk about this mysterious realm, that realm, it seems you still don't know what it's called, right?"

The Youming Emperor laughed sinisterly, "Then I will enlighten you before your death. This realm is called the Life and Death Realm."

"The Life and Death Realm is different from previous realms, common realms are mostly divided into three layers, while the Emperor Realm is divided into Innate and Acquired, but the Life and Death Realm is singular, the only realm."

"Life and Death Realm?" Liu Zixuan murmured, suddenly a flash of inspiration erupted in his mind.

Yes, earlier he comprehended the mysteries of this realm because Ye Lianyi was pregnant, discussing life and death reincarnation with her made him realize.

"I am indeed half-step into the Life and Death Realm, but this half-step doesn't mean I've comprehended half the realm's mysteries, but that I haven't reached realm perfection. Just like the Emperor Realm, a half-step into the Life and Death Realm equals the Innate Emperor Realm Second Heaven, merely a hair's breadth from the true Life and Death Realm, so saying I'm truly in the Life and Death Realm is no exaggeration!"

The Youming Emperor shifted his tone, speaking deliberately, "The realm of Life and Death transcends life and death, reaching immortality, unless you are at Life and Death Realm Perfection, even if all of you band together, you cannot kill me!"

No wonder, having heard before as one advances in realms, life expectancy increases; indeed the Martial Arts realm relates to longevity, in the Emperor Realm one can live to a hundred in the mundane world, a hundred is the greatest barrier, few surpass it, often dying before reaching a hundred.

And the so-called Life and Death Realm truly crosses this centennial barrier, transcending beyond life and death.

However, Liu Zixuan felt claiming immortality and indestructibility was somewhat exaggerated.

"Brother Xuan, what should we do?"

Upon hearing the Youming Emperor's words, Zhao Yi and others also approached Liu Zixuan.

Liu Zixuan frowned, "Escaping is impossible, and we can't run away, so we can only fight!"

"Just the five of us?" Tiger scratched his head, "Though I can brag, but now I can't quite manage. Life and Death Realm, we've never encountered it before."

"Later I'll take the lead, you assist, using the battle array tactics I taught you to fight him."

Previously, at Xiao Hu's protected Seven-Star Tomb, Liu Zixuan obtained a Battle Array Map, and during the Willow Association fight, he used it, but the array was then formed by the Shadow Guards.

Later, Liu Zixuan taught Zhao Yi and others.

Jiang Yunxuan raised his eyebrow, "Can the battle array defeat him?"

"This is only the first step, first delay then talk." Liu Zixuan said sternly, "Prepare...Move!"

After speaking, Zhao Yi and Xiao Hu stood to Liu Zixuan's left, Jiang Yunxuan and Tiger stood to his right, guarding his center, forming a sword-like position with matching speed and cultivation techniques, attacking directly at the Youming Emperor.

The Youming Emperor scoffed, "I will show you just how insignificant you are in front of the Life and Death Realm!"
