Chapter 1056: Chapter 296: Surely the Foremost in the Human World (10,000-word Thank you Note to Book Friends)_3

And all this, this shocking and fear-inspiring scene of light and shadow... Zhongxuan Zun merely cast a detached glance with his pitch-black, ink-like eyes.

The slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips made him seem less lonesome as he soared through the air. Suddenly, he once again extended his right hand with his index and middle fingers pressed together, pointing directly at the sky!

Boom!

A sun emerged in the sky!

It was a different sun from the harsh sun in the distant vault of heaven.

Beyond the sun, there was another sun. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

This blazing sun hung high, directly over the vast and ferocious Ghost General, blocking the massive knife energy it had released!

The knife energy mixed with Soldier Slayer’s force tried to slash through this sun, but it disappeared soundlessly, like a clay ox entering the sea.

This Divine Skill was known as "Sun Wheel"!

It suppressed all evil and filth, clearing all impurities. All evil retreated, and both gods and ghosts were incinerated!

In that instant, the Sun Wheel firmly blocked the Ghost General.

Following that, Zhongxuan Zun’s remaining fingers gradually spread out from their pointed position to a wide open right hand.

He spread his five fingers and moved them toward Xie Baoshu.

Thus, everyone knew...

He had chosen his breakthrough point!

Xie Baoshu laughed maniacally, "What harm can you do to me, boy!"

Before his words could finish, a mirror that blurred the line between reality and illusion appeared above his head, its clear light illuminating all directions, a bright mirror suspended in the Six Harmonies.

This was the Divine Skill, Bright Mirror!

The Bright Mirror, untainted by dust, naturally reveals Cause and Effect. Its effect was to reflect any influence cast upon it.

And precisely because of the existence of the Bright Mirror Divine Skill, he was able to suppress the influence of the Mad Song Divine Skill, allowing him to remain lucid yet mad, truly keeping to his original heart, thus better controlling the Mad Song Divine Skill.

But...

Something utterly shocking to almost everyone occurred!

Zhongxuan Zun suddenly appeared in front of Xie Baoshu!

In his suddenly widened eyes, the handsome and peerless youth in white suddenly reached toward the sky!

The Sun Wheel, which had been locked with the Ghost General, suddenly disappeared and reappeared in his hand.

At first glance, it seemed as if Zhongxuan Zun had grasped the sun itself and then smashed it directly onto Xie Baoshu’s head!

Smash!

The "Bright Mirror" shattered.

Boom!

The blazing, eye-blinding Sun Wheel directly struck Xie Baoshu’s forehead, shattering all the splendid light around him and silencing the surrounding Mad Song sounds.

And once again, he was smashed to the ground...

Alive or dead, unknown!

It was only then that the huge wolf chasing Zhongxuan Zun silently dissipated. The Divine stroke had ultimately failed to erase him.

Many Cultivators observing the battle couldn’t make sense of what had just transpired.

The step that Zhongxuan Zun took to appear in front of Xie Baoshu had been too sudden; even Xie Baoshu himself hadn’t managed to react.

Jiang Wang, who had a deep understanding of the Monster Art, had realized what had happened through his perception of the Suction force during the event.

The pressing motion Zhongxuan Zun made towards Xie Baoshu was, indeed, the use of the Zhong Xuan Ability, but not in the attacking manner Xie Baoshu had imagined.

Instead, it was through the powerful Suction force, aiming to draw him close—initially, this seemed like a decidedly unwise choice. With Chao Yu’s hidden blades nearing, the giant Technique brush also close by, and even Bo Zhao converging... drawing Xie Baoshu close was like inviting a wolf into one’s house, adding more danger to himself. Even using Xie Baoshu as a human shield would not have blocked so much damage.

Hoping that Chao Yu or Bo Zhao would hesitate out of fear of injuring each other was out of the question.

However, it just so happened that Xie Baoshu had activated Bright Mirror Divine Skill!

The rebound effect of the Bright Mirror Divine Skill caused... Zhongxuan Zun to be inversely drawn close to Xie Baoshu.

This led to that reaching hand that grasped the Sun Wheel and smashed it!

That is to say, both Xie Baoshu’s Divine Skill and his choices were crystal clear to Zhongxuan Zun.

Thinking deeper... Zhongxuan Zun facing three opponents that day might not be as many imagined, driven by rampant pride. Rather, it’s more likely that he truly understood his own strength and also understood the strength of his opponents.

Before he entered Under Jixuegong last year, he had already learned about Xie Baoshu!

Indeed, if Zhongxuan Zun himself only had talent in Cultivation, relying on Zhongxuan Pang’s wisdom, the struggle for Family Head of the Chongxuan should have settled long ago...

Putting aside Jiang Wang’s wary heart, the battle on the plaza continued.

After Zhongxuan Zun’s Sun Wheel smash downed Xie Baoshu, only Chao Yu with her Ghost General and Bo Zhao remained on the field.

The scene of him smashing down Xie Baoshu was certainly shocking, but neither Chao Yu nor Bo Zhao hesitated at all.

The massive Ghost General, suddenly free from the blocking Sun Wheel, roared, and a blood mist exploded around it!

Before the blood mist had even dispersed, its huge shadow had already pressed down in front of Zhongxuan Zun, the ghostly knife cleaving through space to strike!

The Ghost General wasn’t considered an evil creature. Or rather, born with Divine Power and nurtured by Soldier Slayer, it fundamentally lacked the vulnerabilities of an evil being. If it had such obvious weaknesses, Chao Yu wouldn’t have been considered for the roster at the Yellow River Gathering.

Thus, while the Sun Wheel Divine Skill possessed the ability to sweep away all evils, in its prior blocking, it had only been a clash of forces against it, never inflicting any real damage.

Now suddenly free, the force of one slash fell like mountains.

Clang!

A deafening boom rang out.

Zhongxuan Zun held the Sun Wheel up single-handedly, using the blazing sun as a shield, resisting the Ghost General’s ghostly blade.

The Sun Wheel Divine Skill, and the Dao Technique used by Zuo Guanglie at the age of fifteen during the Yellow River Gathering to make a name for himself, Chiyang, seemed somewhat similar in performance, but were fundamentally different. Chiyang used the high heat of the harsh sun to incinerate everything. The Sun Wheel Divine Skill, on the other hand, embodied the brightness of the great sun, making all evils retreat.
