Celestial Refining Divine Scripture
Chapter 532 - 530: Kneel Before Me!
Xiao Ming was momentarily stunned, then shook his head with a wry laugh. "You have backbone."
Almost as his words fell, he suddenly cupped his palm, raising it to the heavens.
Swish!
Only to see that eight-foot spirit mark sweep through the skies, stirring a boundless five-colored storm, encompassing the five elements, revealing myriad phenomena.
With effortless grace, a terrifying cloud mass formed out of the spirit mark, condensing a dazzling array of colors, appearing out of thin air.
The clouds billowed majestically; a closer look would reveal the surging energy within nearly woven into countless interlaced spirit patterns, emanating a dread might capable of crushing the arena.
As if the Cataclysmic Cloud of heavenly disaster forged of the power of the Five Elements, threatening to end the world.
"Five-Element Cataclysm!"
Yue Hong narrowed his eyes, murmuring sotto voce.
This was truly Xiao Ming’s true strength revealed!
The real killing move!
At this moment, even the peak True Monarch warriors of Dongyang Profound Sect watching this scene had fear in their eyes.
"Celestial Sword of Metal!"
Xiao Ming suddenly barked with ferocity.
Clang!
An explosive crash like thunder, an overwhelming sharpness.
A massive golden sword erupted out from the Five-Element Cataclysm, gathering surging golden sword qi. Its radiant chill pierced the heavens, like a dragon soaring aloft—icy, fierce, and indomitable.
Swish!
The giant sword slashed through the air, as if the judgment of an Immortal, deciding life and death!
Xu Yang’s eye twitched; leaping up, both hands gripped the Asura Blood Saber tight.
Energy within him blazed and churned; from within the Divine Cauldron, even greater power gushed forth.
Swish!
The saber’s energy was like a dragon, tyrannical and boundless—one cut, two cuts, three cuts... Xu Yang crazily hacked hundreds and thousands of blows, converging into a thousand-zhang saber-shadow, fiercely meeting the incoming swordlight head-on.
Bam!
Crack!
The saber light shattered.
The shadow of the sword fell.
Some could not bear to watch and closed their eyes.
Zuo Guangchen couldn’t help but clench his fists tighter.
The terror of this sword—divine and demonic beings would struggle to withstand!
In that flash of life and death, a tripod’s shadow shielded Xu Yang’s body.
Bam!
He crashed down in utter disarray, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
"Not bad. To actually block this sword."
Xiao Ming exclaimed in surprise, with a mocking laugh. He waved his hand again: "Heaven-Binding Profound Vine!"
The second wood-element attack instantly followed.
Xiao Ming now appeared like a lofty god, as though toying with Xu Yang.
Swoosh!
Vines, like giant pythons, surged forth, covering the heavens and earth, bringing a suffocating power of restraint and imprisonment, sweeping towards Xu Yang.
Swift as lightning, howling as thunder! 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Each vine was like a divine weapon, ripping through the sky.
Leaving Xu Yang without any chance to evade.
Watching this, Xu Yang took a deep breath; from within the Divine Cauldron, a dragon’s-eye-sized elixir suddenly sprang forth.
Bam!
The elixir shattered in his dantian with a crisp sound.
Super-Grade Celestial Monarch Elixir!
Rumble!
A terrifying, surging force rushed forth, like the mighty rivers soaring in the secret realm, instantly tearing flesh and shocking bone.
Xu Yang shivered like a leaf; his face twisted in extreme pain, his skin split and blood gushed forth. Even his flesh could not contain the terrifying power of the Supreme Grade Tian Elixir Monarch, instead spraying and spilling everywhere.
Everyone who witnessed this was dumbstruck.
"What happened?"
"Is he displaying some secret technique? His aura has surged so much!"
"Damn, Xu Yang’s aura now feels almost like a Peak True Monarch!"
...
Secret technique?
Even Xiao Ming couldn’t resist raising an eyebrow.
The surge in Xu Yang’s aura was truly too astonishing.
"Kill!"
Xu Yang roared, blood lacing his teeth.
Before his shout fell, he soared like a fierce dragon, swinging the Asura Blood Saber—bloody fiends surged, thunder roared, and the saber ripped through the skies.
Boom!
The sky-filling vines were instantly drowned in the bloody tide, vanishing without a trace.
The audience gasped, the sound rolling forth like tidal waves, sweeping the entire arena.
So wretched under the golden sword mere moments ago; now, crushing countless vines, he appeared utterly extraordinary!
In just an instant, as if he were a completely different person!
"Xiao Ming, you’re nothing special after all."
Xu Yang shouted wildly, the endless violent power within begging for release. He ignored the mangled flesh assaulted by the surge, and with a single thought, burst forth fierce saber intent, as if the Asura Blood Sea itself, slaughter pouring across the wilds.
"Kill!"
He charged straight at the Cataclysm of Five Elements.
"Heh!"
Xiao Ming sneered disdainfully, "Relying on secret techniques, how long can you last?"
"Water and Fire United, Heaven and Earth Prison!"
Rumble!
The cloud mass of five elements trembled, dual colors entwined, water and fire fused, shaking the world with Heaven and Earth’s might—instantly transforming into a terrifying Spirit Prison, crashing down toward Xu Yang’s head.
Immediately, Xiao Ming spat thunderously: "Profound Earth Baptism!"
The final strike—this was the key.
Facing the cage, Xu Yang let out a hoarse roar, like a supreme beast, wielding the Asura Blood Saber with ten thousand shadows trailing.
"Break for me!"
The will to shatter the heavens reached its utmost zenith!
Heaven-Shattering Divine Saber perfected!
Ten thousand shadows at once converged; their edges shimmered with illusion, forming a narrow saber domain—its own world, housing countless saber edges within.
Clang!
Rumble!
Brilliant bloody light spilled out from within the cage, sweeping out in all directions.
The arena shuddered, terrifying aftershocks threatened to burst forth, but the protective shield held fast.
Even so.
The impact made countless Dongyang Profound Sect disciples outside shudder uncontrollably, instinctively retreating over and over.
Far too terrifying.
Even the aftershocks alone could severely wound a typical True Monarch Perfection expert.
Chen Xuanji clenched his fists, his face pale.
The force shook even him to his core!
Impossible to withstand!
"How can he be so strong?"
Crack!
The brittle sound made Chen Xuanji’s eye twitch fiercely.
The cage broke.
Scarlet saber light soared to the heavens, dazzling and demonic, full of endless lethal intent.
But at that very moment, the final strike descended as well.
Profound yellow earthen torrents, as if bestowed by the heavens, surged forth like a waterfall.
Heavy as mountains—vast and mighty!
Like ten thousand li of earth leaping up, overturning Heaven and Earth, pressing down in suppression!
Xu Yang’s body sank, even the terrifying power from the Celestial Monarch Elixir was faintly suppressed.
"Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!"
Xu Yang bellowed in his heart; the tripod shadow at his surface shuddered violently and solidified.
He seemed enshrined within a colossal tripod, dashing upward, inner power pouring endlessly into Asura Blood Saber—Asura Blood Sea lit the heavens, staining the vault in crimson.
"Kill!"
Boom!
The profound yellow earth flow and saber light collided fiercely.
Thunderous crashes, as if heaven and earth collapsed, mountains shattered, seas roared.
The arena quaked; the earth around surged and rolled.
The crowd’s vision spun from the shock; their consciousness trembled.
"Can Xu Yang withstand it?" Zuo Guangchen was more anxious than anyone, as if fighting himself.
If he did, it would be a miracle!
It would be a huge blow to Xiao Ming and the supreme authority of the Five Elements Celestial Realm!
Bam!
A blood-stained figure fell in wretched defeat.
Zuo Guangchen shivered all over, face darkening in despair.
As expected, it couldn’t be done?
To reach such a point was already a marvel.
Xu Yang was like a kite with its string snapped, his body battered and bloody, miserable beyond words.
Yet the profound yellow earthen torrent above was thoroughly shredded too!
Xiao Ming gazed down contemptuously, saying mildly: "To withstand the Cataclysm of the Five Elements’ first-layer attack—even in death, you have reason for pride."
"What?"
"This was only the first-layer attack?"
The audience was stupefied, minds blank.
Xiao Ming—just what kind of monster is he?
"You won’t kneel?"
Xiao Ming wore an eerie grin, staring at Xu Yang slowly crawling up from the ground. "Absolute power will make you kneel!"
"Five Elements Spirit God, Assemble!"
As his shout rang out—
The Five-Element Cataclysm erupted with a roar, shattering into four pieces, yet without a trace of power leaking. Instead, it coiled inwards and upwards.
Five-colored spiritual light, as if enveloped by a blaze, surged explosively!
In an eye-blink, a thousand-zhang-tall giant appeared out of nowhere, just like a celestial mountain.
Eyes brighter than sun and moon, chest vast as the sea, feet trampling the spirit clouds!
Xiao Ming’s body blurred, merging into this giant.
The giant’s expression in that instant seemed to come alive.
The aura of oppression multiplied several times over!
He stood above, looking down at Xu Yang—a god’s indifference.
Countless disciples of Dongyang Profound Sect quaked uncontrollably, not daring to meet the giant’s gaze.
Xu Yang’s face was deathly pale; under the giant’s pressure, his mind blurred, flesh and bone shuddered, his legs audibly ’cracked’.
"Suppress!"
Xiao Ming spat thunder, within a thousand-zhang radius ferociously twisted, drawing down the sky, mingling sun and moon, overturning heaven and earth, bearing the boundless might of the cosmos, and stomped mightily down.
