Xiao Chen had cultivated his Lunar True Flame by using a Lunar True Flame without an Origin Flame to swallow up other Yin-attributed flames.
It was far from comparable to the true Lunar True Flame. However, after swallowing the Extreme Yin Flame and the Netherworld Flame, its Origin Flame was already the size of a baby’s fist. No matter what, its might would rank much higher than this Dark Underworld Bone Flame.
Thus, it was naturally not a problem for the Lunar True Flame to absorb a strand of the Dark Underworld Bone Flame.
“You really have a lot of good things on you. Coincidentally, I need to upgrade my Lunar True Flame. Watch as I extract your Dark Underworld Bone Flame’s Origin Flame later.”
Smiling faintly, Xiao Chen moved his arm around as if nothing had happened to it. He clenched his right fist and punched towards the approaching trident. As he did so, he used Myriad Heaven Divine Fist’s Deities Descending. He quickly gathered his Quintessence, Magic Energy, and Vital Qi, exploding forth tenfold stronger.
There was a loud ‘bang.’ Xiao Chen forced back the overwhelming, ferocious, fast, and mighty white bone incarnation, sending it tumbling in the air, falling toward the sea.
“Don’t you wish to see my saber? I will show you what my saber is!”
Xiao Chen snorted and executed Thunder Dragon Steps. Then he chased after the falling Long Fei at an even faster speed. He gave off a bright light, and it was like a sharp, flawless saber being unsheathed instantly.
With my palm as my saber, my legs as my saber, my wrist as my saber, my hair as my saber, my body as my saber, I am the saber and the saber is me.
This saber is called Flawless. This Dao is perfect and flawless!”
Xiao Chen closed the distance to Long Fei in a heartbeat and exhibited his Flawless saber Dao. The sharp fist lights were saber blades, his matchless legs were saber blades, his thousands of strands of hair were all saber blades.
With all that Long Fei’s eyes saw, all that his ears heard, and all that his body felt, it seemed to Long Fei that thousands of sabers were attacking him continuously from all sorts of angles. It was hard to imagine and impossible to figure out the sabers’ trajectories.
This was a sea of sabers, a world of sabers.
Saber Domain!
Such a scene brought these words to mind for several of the old men in the sky. In the scene below, aside from the boundless saber blades, only Long Fei’s white bone incarnation remained, doing its best to fight with the sabers.
“Saber Domain, the domain of a bladesman. Once it is used, the area will be filled with saber blades able to break everything. Once an enemy is trapped, no matter how powerful he is, after suffering from thousands upon thousands of saber strikes, he will definitely die,” exclaimed Feng Xingsheng, a first-rate genius bladesman, despite himself.
Saber Domain was a domain ability that the legendary Ancient Era Saber Monarchs could execute. It required an absolute talent for the saber before one could comprehend it.
To date, there had been many famous Saber Emperors, but almost none of them could execute a Saber Domain, although some experts could execute a Sword Domain. Could this really be a Saber Domain?
After a while, Feng Xingsheng, who had a grave expression, heaved a sigh of relief. He said, “That’s good. It is not a Saber Domain. He only used his body as a saber, turning everything of his, everything he touched into a saber. While it is very similar to the legendary Saber Domain, there is still a qualitative difference.”
However, Bai Wuxue sighed instead. He countered, “Feng Xingsheng, you are relaxing too soon. While this is not a Saber Domain, it clearly has a vague form of a Saber Domain. With this fellow’s talent, he is bound to gain some traces of comprehension about it. Don’t be too shocked if you see him truly executing a Saber Domain in the future.”
Feng Xingsheng suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment. He could not help but smile bitterly. “Haha, it looks like I am just lying to myself and others. However, Brother Bai managed to see through it. Even so, you will probably lose your bet with Xiao Chen.”
A complicated expression appeared on Bai Wuxue’s face. However, he relaxed after a while and said, “The grudges between us have to be resolved at some point in time. After losing this time, I will be able to put to rest the obsession in my heart. That might not be a bad thing for me.
“There are many people who are stronger than me in this world. The three Holy Scions are stronger than me, An Junxi is stronger than me, the newly surfaced ancient race geniuses are stronger than me. Why is there a need to brood over Xiao Chen being stronger than me? It is just myself dwelling on it, the reluctance of my competitive heart to admit defeat.
“Brother Feng, please help me with something.”
Feng Xingsheng felt it was strange as he said, “Please, tell me what it is!”
“Whoosh!”
A jade strip flew toward Feng Xingsheng. He stretched out his hand and caught it. Bai Wuxue said, “This jade strip contains the Snow Race’s inheritance that Xiao Chen wanted. Please pass it to him for me.”
As Feng Xingsheng held the jade strip, he said, “The fight is not over yet. Brother Bai, why are you leaving before it is finished?”
“I am already thirty years old. I became famous at a young age. Along the way, with all my fights and everything I saw, it is not that I saw too little but that I saw too much. However, I have failed to digest them. I am entering closed-door cultivation. If I cannot break through this, I will not come out. We will just take it as my not existing in this world. If so, this damned age of geniuses has nothing to do with me, Bai Wuxue!”
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky. When they landed on the surface of the ocean, they created a path of ice. Bai Wuxue walked on this path and left. Indeed, as he said, Feng Xingsheng would not hear any news of him at all for a very long time.
Currently, everyone’s attention was focused on Xiao Chen and Long Fei’s shocking battle. Not many noticed the snowflakes drifting down or Bai Wuxue leaving.
Surrounded by saber lights, Long Fei did not appear. Neither did the scene of the white bone incarnation shattering, which was what the crowd expected. Instead, the incarnation materialized thousands of arms giving off an aura of ruin, unwilling to admit defeat.
This bet against Xiao Chen was a battle of attrition; whoever got exhausted first would be the loser.
“My Thousand-Hand White Bones originates from a mysterious Buddhist secret technique. The white bone incarnation is like the incarnation of the Thousand-Arm Buddha. I have unlimited energy. You turned your body into a saber, materializing the Flawless saber Dao to wear me down. However, you will be disappointed.”
The white bone incarnation looked very dignified at this moment. Long Fei no longer cared about the wounds on his body that the sabers had inflicted. He waved the thousands of arms around so fast that they were invisible. Now, he clashed wildly against Xiao Chen, who had already turned himself into limitless saber blades.
The scope of the two’s battle became increasingly broader. The waters below parted, and a gap appeared in the vast ocean that would not fill.
When Long Fei used his thousand-arm white bone incarnation, he immediately reclaimed the advantage that Xiao Chen had gained, creating the current scene.
The battle continued. It seemed like time froze forever. With the bright moon illuminating the sky and its light not dimming, how could night pass?
Since the bright moon did not leave, the spectators’ sense of time blurred. They could not tell how long the two had fought already. A night? A day? Or perhaps more?
Xiao Chen already forgot the initial objective of this battle. He only felt extremely carefree. Plenty of information and inspiration for the Flawless saber Dao appeared in his mind.
As he gained further comprehensions, he suddenly remembered the Four Season Saber Technique that he once practiced. The Four Season Saber Technique’s Cycle of Seasons…if he could execute it with his Flawless saber Dao, he would definitely be able to wear down this thousand-arm white bone incarnation with endless energy.
The moment Xiao Chen thought of it, he immediately tried executing it.
He used the Flawless saber Dao to execute Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter simultaneously. Four different scenes appeared around the thousand-arm white bone incarnation at the same time.
On one side was a cool spring breeze with peach blossoms blooming; on another side was a blazing sun burning the land; on a third was a desolate autumn wind blowing leaves off the branches; and the last was filled with white snow, freezing the water for five hundred kilometers.
On every side was a saber. Compared to the countless saber blades from earlier, there were now only four sabers. These sabers were called Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Flawless Four Seasons, cycling endlessly!
Good! Good! Good! Xiao Chen said “good” in his heart three times. This was the Four Season Saber Technique that he created himself, Flawless Four Seasons. This Saber Technique was unexpectedly very compatible with his Flawless saber Dao. He managed to execute it perfectly in an instant.
Long Fei’s expression slowly turned frustrated. He discovered that these four seasons cycled endlessly. The move seemed to resonate with the Great Dao of cycles vaguely. Unexpectedly, there were no signs of it stopping.
“Damn it! Thousand-Hand White Bones, explode!”
Seeing that he was slowly being suppressed, Long Fei shouted this order ferociously. The white-bone incarnation bloated up relentlessly. After that, it exploded before Xiao Chen could react. Unexpectedly, Long Fei choose to detonate his incarnation. This was a desperate move that would cause great damage to the enemy at the expense of injuring one’s self.
“Bang!”
The white bones shattered and exploded; the aura of ruin immediately reached its peak. Peach blossoms fell, the blazing sun extinguished, the autumn wind stilled, and the white snow melted. This aura immediately devastated this Flawless Four Seasons.
Long Fei’s body was riddled with wounds. He bled from all his facial orifices, looking very horrifying. He no longer had the appearance and elegance of a scholar.
Xiao Chen was in an equally sorry state; his flesh was ripped apart. Long Fei laughed loudly as he said, “I just need to nourish my white bone incarnation for a month before a statue of the Thousand-Arm Buddha, and it will be able to recover. From the very start, I have been undefeatable. Even if I am low on energy, you are like a lamp at the end of your wick. You cannot do anything to me.
“In the end, this is a draw!”
Xiao Chen tried to wipe away the blood at the corners of his lips. However, he found that the blood kept flowing without pause. His heart and lungs had all torn. Without a period of rest, he would not be able to recover.
The explosion of the white bone incarnation was very horrifying. Furthermore, with the will of ruin from the trident, it achieved peak damage. Having been caught in the middle of the blast, he was indeed severely injured. He had not expected Long Fei to use such a ruthless move.
However, this Long Fei was too naive if he thought that this would end in a draw. Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Raise your head and look at this sky. Do you discover anything unusual about it?”
Long Fei’s expression changed as he looked up. He only saw the bright moon in the sky, perfect and flawless. It was even more beautiful than any full moon that he had ever seen before.
That’s not right. Even though I did not pay much attention, I definitely fought him for at least the whole night. Why is the sky not bright yet?
“Do you find it strange that the sky is not bright yet? I will let this bright moon that I prepared for you show you. I can cause night to pass with the flip of my hand and prevent the sun from rising with a wave.”
Xiao Chen pointed, and boundless moonlight gathered at his fingertip. It turned into a flawless saber light and shot out. Long Fei wanted to dodge but found that there was nowhere he could hide.
Flawless Bright Moon, the entire world is filled with moonlight, where can you hide?
“Ka ca!” The saber light instantly chopped Long Fei in half. His lifeforce started diminishing rapidly. Xiao Chen extended his hand and grabbed Long Fei’s trident.
The moon had been up for too long already. As the cultivators around watched the bright moon wane, many could not get used to it. They thought that Xiao Chen had really drained the moon dry of moonlight and caused it to shatter. They even regretted it.
However, once the bright moon faded away and everyone looked up, they saw that there was actually another full moon. They all thought they were dreaming. However, after a while, they understood that this was the real moon. Xiao Chen’s battle with Long Fei had lasted from night to day and back to night again.
