Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 861 - 533: Immortal-Slaying

Chapter 861: Chapter 533: Immortal-Slaying

“This…”

“How can this be!?”

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone outside the formation lost their voices, looking on in utter shock and disbelief as Qi Zhengming’s Three Flowers were pruned and his Five Qi were extinguished.

The Three Flowers atop the head and the Five Qi in the chest are the tangible manifestation of the meritorious fruit of the Immortal Path, the vital foundation of a Mysterious Gate True Immortal, its significance no less than that of the Primordial Spirit and soul. Damage to such a foundation means the meritorious fruit of the Immortal Path must have been injured.

But now, Qi Zhengming’s situation was not simply one of damage, but rather, someone had directly extinguished his Three Flowers and Five Qi. The meritorious fruit of True Immortal cultivation that had been painstakingly nurtured over a hundred thousand years was gone in a flash, like water retreating…

How is that possible?

...

This is the Three Flowers and Five Qi!

Let alone a Nine Tribulations Completion True Immortal, even a Void Immortal, who is still amidst the Tribulations, would not have their Immortal Path’s meritorious fruit easily extinguished; the difficulty is even greater than destroying the physical body and the Primordial Spirit, only achievable by Great Divine Power and monumental means.

Yet Qi Zhengming was a True Immortal. Li Xuanyuan had only just entered the Tribulation Realm, so what Divine Power, what methods could he have used to overcome such a Heavenly Pass, to extinguish the meritorious fruit of a True Immortal with the power of a Void Immortal?

An Eighth Order Immortal Array?

Or a Ninth Order Immortal Treasure?

It made no sense, utterly incomprehensible!

It was precisely because it was incomprehensible that the shock was even greater at this moment.

The people outside the formation were already so, let alone the multitude of cultivators within it.

“Senior Brother Qi!”

The cultivators of the Sword Pavilion were extremely shocked, wanting to help but not knowing how to proceed.

In the meantime…

“Ah!!!”

Another piercing scream. The body of Qi Zhengming, whose Three Flowers had been pruned and Five Qi extinguished, trembled. His snow-white hair withered instantly, turning into dust and scattering down, his skin slackened, withered, aged, devoid of any vitality, only the heavy aroma of dusk remained. His eyes, too, became dull and seemed to struggle with vision…

In an instant, his body, once impervious to heat and cold, extraordinary and detached from the common world, was now covered in profuse sweat, filthy and exuding a foul stench, an abomination to both humans and gods. His eyes were riddled with dullness, his ears constantly buzzed, and his mind was topsy-turvy, muddled and unclear.

In just an instant, the young man in black with white hair and soaring sword intent had become an old man on the brink of death, overwhelmed by the burden.

“This…”

“Brother!”

Upon seeing this, the cultivators of the Sword Pavilion were terrified, their eyes filled with panic, and they involuntarily retreated.

“How can this, how can this, how can this—Ah!!!”

Qi Zhengming, now an old man, hunched over, his eyes dull, ears buzzing, and his voice incredibly hoarse, shakily held his Xiang Huang, let out a roar, and then tried to exert all his strength for a final desperate struggle.

However, he could not see his opponent clearly at all, and his Sea of Qi in the Dantian was as barren as a dried-up pond. Before he could make a move, he plummeted from the sky, disintegrating into ash mid-fall, his flesh turning to dust, leaving only a skeleton clothed in black that fell into the waves of the Southern Sea, disappearing without a trace.

“…”

“…”

“…”

Silence, absolute silence descended in an instant!

“Boom!!!”

After a moment of stillness, thunderous activity resumed within the formation. Xiao Buping was the first to act, disregarding the boiling immortal power within and the imminent life-and-death threshold, exploding his life-bound Flying Sword and shooting out a bloody Sword Light, heading straight out of the formation.

A heroic severing of one’s own limb, ruthlessly decisive.

“This…!”

“Run!!!”

Upon witnessing this scene, the others were also jolted awake, each summoning their Sword Artifacts, desperately fleeing outward.

Yet, the moment they acted, the Formation shifted. A mournful aura shot into the sky, and a sinister gloom pierced the ground, sealing off the exits and cutting off any chance of survival in this Termination Array.

“Retreat!!!”

Outside the Southern Sea Formation, the cultivators watching also made a resolute decision, withdrawing in an instant, their Escape Light streaking away like birds startled by the twang of a bowstring.

Escape, escape, escape!

There’s no choice but to flee, Qi Zhengming’s tragic state replaying incessantly in the minds of the Calamity Immortals, like a relentless nightmare.

A Nine Tribulations True Immortal has died so miserably, unable to resist in the slightest, unable to struggle at all, reduced to bones and dust.

What kind of method is this?

What kind of Formation is this?

The cultivators didn’t know, and were even more panic-stricken, scattering like animals, fleeing this contentious place with terror and regret in their hearts.

…

The cultivators outside the Formation dispersed like birds and beasts.

Those within the Formation were even more desperate.

“Ahh!!!”

Xiao Buping screamed his lungs out, his blood-colored Sword Light flaring violently, darting left and right within the Formation, leaping up and plunging down, yet unable to find a single path to life, seeing nothing but dark mists and shadowy streams, the deathly gates of the Termination Array.

For a moment, regret surged to his mind, suffocating him with despair.

Xiao Family, Xiao Family!

Thrive because of the family, perish because of the family.

Just one unworthy descendant, and the family legacy is lost!

“Li Xuanyuan, I will not rest for ten lifetimes!!!”

The extreme regret turned to curses, Xiao Buping roared, his blood-colored Sword Light suddenly turned, attacking the Interior of the Formation, ready to fight to the death.

But as the sword met the dark flow, there was no trace left, the Formation remained unchanged, still the chilling wind whistled, and the shadowy streams surged on.

…

At the center of the Formation, Xu Yang casually flicked his sleeve, and from the surging waves of the Southern Sea, he fished out a Corpse Body’s skeleton.

Qi Zhengming!

Though turned to bones and skeleton, the white bones still seemed to show traces of resentment and struggle, with despair and unwillingness shining through.

Indeed unwilling!

A might Nine Tribulations True Immortal had died at the hands of a Void Immortal, soul shattered, body and path extinguished, utterly defeated.

He still had methods, still had reliance, accumulated over more than a hundred thousand years, countless Treasures on his body, numerous Divine Powers in his hands, yet unexercised he became the loser, how could he accept this?

But reality was cruel, accept he must, endure he must!

The Reverse Nine Rites Great Formation, this was the Heavenly Secret Realm, the fruit of ten thousand years of bitter cultivation.

The positive side of it need not be mentioned, Xuanyuan’s Sacred Method, Commanding Heaven and Earth, harnessing the abilities of the Nine Instruments and the Three Talents, integrating with Swordsmanship, empowering oneself, it could raise the power of a Void Immortal to that of a True Immortal, with the ultimate move possessing the might of Immortal-Slaying.

This was the heritage of the Xuanyuan Sacred Method, the positive application of the Nine Instruments Three-Talents Formation.

But in this world, everything contains Yin and embraces Yang, there is positive because there is negative, and where there is negative, there is positive.

Xu Yang, in the Earth Immortal Realm, within the Heavenly Secret Realm, not only comprehended the Innate Five Directions Banner, the Three Books of Heaven, Earth, and Man, and other Ancient Treasures, but also didn’t neglect his own cultivation, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, Taiqing Pure Righteous Dharma, the Dao of Yin Yang and the Five Elements, Realm and Cultivation, Taoist Cultivation and Mana, he was continually improving.
