Chapter 671: Chapter 295: Slaying Bai Pi, Sweeping Across the Maze Sea (Part 2)

He was like a supersonic jet on the ground, going from still to multiple times the speed of sound in just an instant.

This already exceeded the reaction speed of many First Nirvana demons.

Xu Guang’s figure disappeared once more.

"Have you ever wondered why I appeared injured by your attack?"

The grand voice exploded in the sky with a rain of blood.

"I’ve seen through your Dao."

At that moment.

The Three Venerable Technique appeared from three sides, standing in the three directions of the inverted sea water, like three deities.

An invisible wave connected among the three.

Slaughter, aging kill, forgetfulness.

Three true intents intertwined and flowed in the air, waves of terrifying power frantically spread outward along with circles of light.

The White Spira Demon King threw a punch.

Boom!

A loud explosion.

The two saw immense forces squeezing and colliding.

Qi Force mixed with terrifying pure blood qi and violent demonic power collided like two massive mountains, striking with fierce simplicity.

Dazzling white light mixed with multicolored lights entwined, then compressed and rotated.

In a soundless moment of stillness.

Sizzle!

A ring of gray airflow spread outward like a wave from the point of collision where the two clashed.

Everything touched by the ripple seemed to decay as if weathered by the passage of time.

"Hahaha! That’s right, fight me, I will kill you, kill, kill, kill!!!"

The White Spira’s frenzied roar rose with the roar of the sea.

Snap.

After a crisp sound, the two abruptly separated.

Each stood in two different places.

The White Spira Demon King lowered his head to look at his chest, where an enormous and hideous wound appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh?"

"How did you manage to injure me?"

With his physical body, he was confident that even a Second Nirvana Venerable armed with a Second Nirvana Divine Soldier would have had a hard time injuring him to this extent.

Yet here he was, inexplicably... wounded?

With a gasp, the wound on his chest healed rapidly at a visible speed, completely recovering in the blink of an eye.

It was as if the effort Xu Guang spent to injure him was just a momentary illusion.

Xu Guang did not answer, only watched silently as the wound healed.

’Is it really like this? Measuring Blood Divine Techniques, simple and crude, perfectly controlling everything about oneself, even lost blood will return, just like... immortality.’

For the average person to comprehend such a divine technique and become a second-rate expert is already rare, but for someone like the White Spira to develop and utilize such an unremarkable divine technique to this extent is truly uncommon in the world.

The White Spira suddenly spread his arms, the massive white jade blood qi on his body softened and faded into obscurity.

"Destroy!!!"

In an instant, a dazzling white jade light once again illuminated from his body.

This time the brightness was far stronger than before, layer upon layer spreading outward around him.

But before his eruption could fully unfold, a dazed look suddenly appeared on his face, as if he had encountered something completely incomprehensible.

On his chest, another hideous wound inexplicably reappeared.

Xu Guang slowly spread his arms, his face turned pale at a strange speed, as if a monster was consuming everything in him from some part of his body.

"It seems that in the end, the winner is me."

In his shock, White Spira saw a brilliant green light suddenly emerge from his wound, and a Green Emperor Fashen, garbed in imperial robes, walked out from his chest, and it was not over yet, red blood flames suddenly began to spread across his wound.

"You..."

The pale-faced Xu Guang charged forward, it was his first proactive attack against White Spira, and also the last.

The three Fashen aligned with Xu Guang, centered on that bizarrely appearing wound, rapidly eradicating the vitality in White Spira.

"No!"

Bai Pi found it unbelievable; he didn’t even know how he ended up defeated.

The Blood Qi Divine Technique was deployed, but Xu Guang’s main body interfered, and his vitality slipped away like sand through fingers.

For three whole days.

Bai Pi’s vitality completely vanished, he was old and frail, his life force like a candle in the wind, flickering weakly.

"I understand now, you’re using the power of time."

At this point, Xu Guang no longer hid anything, nodded slightly, "The Red Lotus Karmic Fire can harm you, but I didn’t use much, just in case you were prepared. A trace of the Power of Karmic Fire infiltrated your body; though you expelled it in time, it left a mark over time."

"Such... a defeat is not in vain."

Bai Pi chuckled bitterly, his voice gloomy.

As the bronze Long Sword thrust out from the void, he fell to the ground with a bang.

...

The battle between Xu Guang and Bai Pi lasted several days, shaking half of the Lost Sea; even though Dark Abyss City was enveloped by countless arrays, it still experienced tremors.

The Dragon Elephant Demon King on the main seat opened his eyes with interest, but said nothing and quickly closed them again.

Many Demon Kings sensed something amiss, but ultimately said nothing.

Until that Shadow Demon King, her eyes suddenly turned fierce.

She was closely related to Bai Pi Demon King and sensed his demise.

"Something happened to Bai Pi!"

She couldn’t continue the meeting, stood up directly, and walked out.

The little demons guarding outside saw her as a backbone, regardless of her being their Demon King, rushed forward, and began to wail.

The Demon Kings finally realized something.

Soon, bad news came one after another.

"Bai Pi Demon King and Xu Guang fought on Black Rock Island for days, the seawater suspended, the final result unknown."

"Remnants under Demon Kings Rong Kui and Lei Kun reported that many resource points within their territories were plundered clean, suspected to be Xu Guang’s doing!"

"Statistics... In recent months, more than twenty First Nirvana Realm colleagues have been confirmed fallen by Xu Guang’s hands! Among them, top-tier beings like Bai Pi Demon King!"

The hall was deathly silent before erupting into furious rage!

"Audacious! Lawless!"

"Even Brother Bai Pi..."

"If this scourge is not eradicated, where does Dark Abyss City’s prestige lie?! What face do we have to rule the Lost Sea?!"

"Find him! Even if we have to comb through every inch of the Lost Sea, bring him to me! Tear his body into thousands of pieces!"

The Xuan Gui Demon King was so enraged that his real body’s projection was trembling, and the dragon head roared deafeningly.

New grudges piled upon old, his killing intent towards Xu Guang was already sky-high.

The fragile balance just reached at the meeting collapsed instantly, all Demon Kings united in a common cause, unanimously deciding to spare no cost, using every available power, to launch a full-scale hunt for Xu Guang.

Several Second Nirvana Demon Kings skilled in tracking personally led teams, combined with countless demon soldiers under them, began a comb-like search across the Lost Sea.

Even Master Qingsong and other Human Race great cultivators, under these circumstances, had to make a gesture, sending some manpower to participate in the search.

The entire Lost Sea was once again in turmoil because of Xu Guang alone.

But their pursuit was destined to be futile.

Xu Guang vanished for years after this.

Rumors began to circulate in the Lost Sea that Xu Guang and Bai Pi both suffered heavy losses in their battle and finally fell in some unknown place.

...

An ancient palace remnant located in a trench at the deepest part of the Lost Sea, its exterior wrapped in layers of naturally formed chaotic force fields and starry sky forbidden techniques laid by Yan Ruge, as highly concealed as possible.

When Xu Guang found this place, Yan Ruge was still intently researching those ancient forbidden techniques, trying to find more clues about the Sea Eye and the Lost Sea’s origin from them.

Seeing Xu Guang’s aura become extremely unstable, his face pale, a flicker of an almost indiscernible ripple flashed in Yan Ruge’s cold eyes.

"You’re finally back?" Her tone remained flat, but her hands moved quickly, immediately taking out several bottles of precious Healing Pills and handing them over.

Xu Guang took the pills, swallowed them all at once, sat cross-legged to adjust his breath, and poured out some things from a jade gourd.

"I casually slaughtered some who didn’t open their eyes on the way, these Spiritual Objects are useless to me, see if they help with your breakthrough."

Yan Ruge explored with her Divine Thought and was slightly surprised in her heart. The ring was piled with Spiritual Materials and Demon Cores, all of which were rare treasures. Among them, a few were even greatly beneficial to Fifth Realm cultivators. This "casual" harvest was a bit too abundant.

She looked at Xu Guang deeply, did not ask more, just silently accepted them.

"I need to retreat and break through to the Fourth Realm," she said.

"I also need time to digest my gains." Xu Guang nodded.

He indeed needed cultivation; slaying Bai Pi was immensely beneficial for him, his physical body, enough to help him completely comprehend the Martial Dao true intent of the Training Soldiers Divine Power.
