Ao Shibidi’s mother was a battle-hardened Great Demon King. Ao Shibidi inherited both his parents’ advantages, making him exceptionally skilled in combat.

Any martial arts in his hands are mastered immediately upon learning, and refined to perfection.

Even more terrifying is Ao Shibidi’s exceptional focus and determination. He integrated magic and Dao practice into Martial Dao, cultivating for seven thousand years.

Even an ordinary person, if focused on practicing martial arts for seven thousand years, would become a Grandmaster. Let alone Ao Shibidi, such a martial arts genius.

After acquiring the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber, he integrated his bloodline Divine Techniques and Dao practice magic into sword techniques.

The East Sea Dragon Court is full of strong individuals, and if comparing Dao practice magic, he might not rank in the top ten.

However, when it comes to sword techniques and martial arts, he confidently considered himself the best.

Ao Shibidi had been observing Gao Xuan all along, yet he indeed couldn’t see through Gao Xuan.

Though Ao Ming kept provoking madly, Gao Xuan remained deep as an abyss, with all of Ao Ming’s antics unable to stir a ripple.

Gao Xuan’s depth, his generosity, his Dao practice all made Ao Shibidi highly vigilant.

Therefore, once he made the move, Ao Shibidi used his full strength.

This move ’Thunder Sea Cross’ was his lethal strike.

The key to Thunder Sea Cross lies not in the variability of the move, but in its intrinsic Power.

The Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber can harness endless thunder to gather Celestial Spirit Blade Qi, possessing the domineering nature of thunder combined with the sharpness of the Divine Saber.

Ao Shibidi’s Divine Soul was a tiger-headed human body with dragon scales, and there was a pair of small dragon horns on his head.

Through these dragon horns, Ao Shibidi had inherited the bloodline Divine Techniques of the East Sea Dragon Race, which controlled the Power of Wind and Thunder.

Thus, his Divine Soul would present him in his most true and original state.

The Divine Soul directly wielded the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber, with endless Power of Thunder transforming into concentrated Celestial Spirit Thunder Blade Light.

The outward spreading of Thunder Light was merely the residual power of the blade, mainly used to confuse people’s perception and Sixth Sense.

The real Power of Thunder was completely stored within the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber, with the five-foot blade slashing down, its speed accelerating under the enhancement of Thunder Light.

Finally transforming into a sharp cyan Thunder Light, it shone as it reached Gao Xuan.

Just as the blade was about to cut down, Gao Xuan lightly brushed his long sleeve with his left hand, the sleeve like flowing clouds swirling, graceful and light yet agile.

The Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber, which slashed with the speed of light, was unexpectedly caught by the slow-moving long sleeve.

Ao Shibidi was slightly shocked, as Gao Xuan’s sleeve changes were refined and mysterious, vaguely containing powerful Space Divine Techniques.

Thus, he was able to use softness to counter sharpness, slow to conquer fast.

Without hesitation, Ao Shibidi stimulated all the Power of Thunder from the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber, causing sea-like Thunder Light to erupt simultaneously.

This sea-like Thunder Light was not metaphorical, as Ao Shibidi had absorbed endless tribulation thunder power through the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber, continuously tempered by his own Divine Intent and finally transformed into unrivaled sharp Thunder Blade Light.

Released all at once, its power was enough to shatter the entire Celestial Dragon Island.

Ao Shibidi was ruthless by nature; once he made a move, he had no scruples. Moreover, facing such a powerful opponent as Gao Xuan, he had no opportunity to hold back.

As long as he could kill Gao Xuan, sacrificing one Celestial Dragon Island was a small price.

Gao Xuan also felt the pressure; the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber was indeed a formidable Divine Artifact, with the Power of Thunder transforming into unabated, sharp, and majestic Blade Light.

Relying only on the Inversion of Heaven and Earth Technique, he surprisingly could not hold onto such wild and fierce Blade Light.

With his current cultivation, this Inversion of Heaven and Earth Technique could easily contain ten Celestial Dragon Islands. Still, it couldn’t withstand the power of the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber.

It showcased Ao Shibidi’s prowess.

Gao Xuan also had to offer praise, for this man’s martial arts were just one tier below the Asura King and the Six-armed Demon Ape.

Magic and Dao practice could rely on talent, but martial arts require one’s own hard practice.

Ao Shibidi, with such status, could commit to hard work in Martial Dao, which was indeed not easy.

Had he encountered Ao Shibidi upon entering the Cyan Celestial Realm, he would have had to display his ultimate skills to win.

Now, that was unnecessary.

With a shift of thought, Gao Xuan had already activated the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light Gauze Robe.

The Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light Gauze Robe was like light, gas, water, with its clean circulation exhibiting extreme Spiritual Miao nature. Internally, the evolution of Five Elements Power was exquisitely brilliant.

The Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light’s offensive ability was inadequate, but its endlessly changing resilience was extremely tough.

Though the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber had a Thunder Blade Sea, when enveloped by the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light, its domineering, sharp, and unmatched Thunder Blade Light was completely suppressed.

This move was brilliantly superb, with its transformative evolution flowing like clouds, seeming to exist yet leaving no trace.

Ao Shibidi felt his hand lighten, with the world-destructive Thunder Blade Light completely swallowed, making him uneasy.

He also saw that the moon-white gauze robe on Gao Xuan was a powerful Divine Artifact, with endless transformations of the Five Elements Power within, surprisingly evolving into Supreme Soft Transformation.

Though the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber was Supreme Yang, for the time being, it couldn’t break this moon-white gauze robe.

Gao Xuan was very interested in the changes of the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber, so he wasn’t in a hurry to subdue Ao Shibidi, merely stimulating power to continually probe the opponent.

Ao Shibidi also had his skills; although the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber couldn’t escape the invisible Celestial Net Divine Light, it wouldn’t be completely suppressed either.

On the Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber, the blade light flickered, the long saber twisted and transformed, unpredictable as a rising and flying electric serpent.

Ao Shibidi and Gao Xuan remained in a stalemate, which made Ao Jiuni quite uneasy.

He knew well how domineering and fierce Ao Shibidi’s Celestial Spirit Thunder Saber was; Ao Shibidi either wins quickly or loses quickly, this stalemate was very unusual.

Moreover, it was obviously suppressed by Gao Xuan’s sleeve. This was even more terrifying.

Ao Jiuni doesn’t know what Gao Xuan’s true ultimate skill is, but using a sleeve clearly indicated that Gao Xuan hadn’t exerted his full strength.

Even so, Gao Xuan managed to suppress Ao Shibidi.

The Supreme Soft opposes the Supreme Yang. Clearly, over time, the sharpness and fierceness of the Supreme Yang will inevitably be worn down. In a prolonged standoff, Ao Shibidi is bound to lose.

Though Ao Jiuni’s Martial Dao is not as strong as Ao Shibidi’s, his insight and vision are in no way inferior—perhaps even higher.

The situation is obviously unfavorable, and Gao Xuan seemingly has yet to unleash a killing move. Admitting defeat and withdrawing now could still allow for a safe retreat.

Having collaborated with Ao Shibidi for thousands of years, despite their thin blood ties, they are important partners in their work.

In the East Sea Dragon Court, their statuses and situations are quite similar. They are even more so in need of sticking together.

Ao Jiuni would prefer Ao Ming to be killed rather than see Ao Shibidi harmed.

At this moment, they cannot rely on Ao Ming, who is a madman, capable only of causing trouble without achieving anything.

After estimating the chances of making a move, Ao Jiuni, observing Gao Xuan’s composed demeanor, realized he had no confidence in rescuing Ao Shibidi.

Therefore, the simplest method is to directly admit defeat.

With Gao Xuan’s magnanimity, he likely wouldn’t insist on killing.

As Ao Jiuni resolved to admit defeat, Ao Ming, impatiently drawing his sword, lashed out, "Useless waste, I have to do it myself!"

While speaking, Ao Ming raised his sword for a thrust; the next moment, the Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword targeted Gao Xuan’s heart.

Ao Ming was unlike Ao Shibidi; his sword strike was quite casual, lacking special variations or techniques.

The only commendable aspect was its exceptional speed.

The flash of Cyan Light reached right in front of Gao Xuan, fast enough to astonish him.

Even the Jun Heaven Wheel, known for propelling the fastest Primordial Magnetic Divine Light, couldn’t match the speed of Ao Ming’s strike.

Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada in Gao Xuan’s sea of consciousness chimed a clear warning, alerting him to the danger of this sword.

It was unusual; with his current cultivation, how could little Ao Ming pose a threat?

Gao Xuan’s right sleeve swung to wrap around the aqua-colored sword light.

Yet the sparkling aqua-colored sword light instantly pierced through the spatial constraints fashioned by the Inversion of Heaven and Earth Technique.

In Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul, he distinctly heard the sound of fabric tearing—layers of invisible spatial barriers being pierced by the sword tip, the feedback transmitted directly to his Divine Soul via the vibration of Primordial Qi.

"Truly formidable..."

Gao Xuan quietly praised, the Five-Colored Celestial Net Divine Light ensnaring again, yet another time wrapping around the aqua-colored sword light.

Surprisingly, the aqua-colored sword light flashed once more, piercing directly through the Five Elements Celestial Net Divine Light.

Cornered by the opposing sword light, Gao Xuan could only employ his Innate Primordial Golden Body.

The heavily obstructed aqua-colored sword light was eventually delayed.

Gao Xuan caught the sword blade between his two fingers steadily.

Suddenly, the aqua-colored sword light transformed into a streak of electric brilliance, slipping from Gao Xuan’s grasp and piercing towards his heart.

The sword blade failed to breach the skin over Gao Xuan’s heart, yet the thread of aqua-colored sword light directly entered his sea of consciousness.

Inside Gao Xuan’s sea of consciousness, several Divine Artifacts were present, yet none could hastily deploy against this strike.

The shining aqua-colored sword light stood directly on Gao Xuan’s golden Divine Soul.

Simultaneously, the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada emitted an even sharper high-pitched cry within Gao Xuan’s sea of consciousness.

The Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada transformed into Dark Gold Armor, appearing instantly to block the aqua-colored sword light.

Despite this, the aqua-colored sword light still pressed deep, leaving a profound sword mark on the Dark Gold Armor.

At this point, the sword finally exhausted all its power.

Gao Xuan, however, was inwardly astonished by the swiftness and sharpness of this sword strike, directly targeting the Divine Soul, allowing no opportunity.

In the Cyan Celestial Realm, among many formidable figures he encountered, none could withstand this sword. Even the six-armed Demon Ape would have its Divine Soul severed by this blow.

No wonder Ao Ming was so arrogant, indeed his capability was remarkable.

However, even without protection from the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada, Gao Xuan believed he wouldn’t die. His Innate Primordial Dao Body was a unity of inner and outer, perfect and flawless.

The sword’s advantage lay in its sharpness, but it lacked sufficient follow-up force. It couldn’t kill him.

Nevertheless, being cornered by this sword into such a frantic state, Gao Xuan felt embarrassed.

He had thought dealing with a few members of the Dragon Race would be effortless.

Ao Ming, however, had taught him a lesson. Regardless of Dao Practice or Martial Arts, mere possession of a Divine Sword was enough to dominate.

Gao Xuan gained patience and humility in the Immortal Realm with time. He wouldn’t be courteous to someone as vicious as Ao Ming.

Gao Xuan flicked his fingers lightly, and the Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword halted at his chest was repelled.

Ao Ming’s face was filled with disbelief; Gao Xuan survived?

The Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword, once sacrificial offerings were made, was known to ensure an inevitable kill.

To slay Gao Xuan, he even sacrificed Yu Wuxia.

Of course, if Gao Xuan had accepted Yu Wuxia, it would have been even better. He had a Secret Technique ready to handle Gao Xuan.

Unfortunately, Gao Xuan refused Yu Wuxia! So, using the Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword was the only option left.

Relying on the Cyan Light Immortal-Slaying Sword, Ao Ming faced no adversary. This made him increasingly arrogant. He never imagined the sword would fail.

In a flash, Gao Xuan drew the Hongyi Sword, sweeping it horizontally.

The clear aqua-colored Sword Light circulated, sending Ao Ming and Ao Shibidi’s heads flying skyward.

In an instant, the entire audience gazed upon the two heads soaring through the sky, a singular thought in their minds: It’s over!
