Chapter 662 - 612: I Don’t Believe
This was another function of the Taixu Mirror, which could briefly rip through the void and lead the attack to the outer chaos.
After deflecting the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, the Taixu Venerable fought back. The divine mirror flashed, and a divine light blinked, instantly launching an attack towards Pei Xuanjing.
Boom!
However, Pei Xuanjing waved the Sanbao Jade Ruyi in his hand, effortlessly shattering the divine light into countless radiance and remained unmoved.
In his hand, he held the jade ruyi, his face showing a calm look towards the distant Taixu Venerable, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, which the Taixu Venerable took as a challenge. After all, in the previous clashes, neither side had gained any advantage.
But for the Taixu Venerable, such a stalemate was unbearable. As the peak cultivator of the Nine Realms spirit, his arrival should be intimidating. And yet after several rounds with an inexperienced youth of the Spirit Realm Eightfold, he had not been able to suppress him.
Regardless of how enigmatic or how many rules Pei Xuanjing had broken or records he had set, it didn’t justify his audacity to challenge him.
“Today, I must kill you here, and all your secrets and fortunate encounters will fall into my hands,” the Taixu Venerable said sternly, his eyes flashing dangerously.
He was more determined than ever to kill Pei Xuanjing.
At the beginning, he regarded this as an easy task, but after several exchanges, he soon realized how formidable this junior was. He was formidable, even surpassing all the others at the Spirit Realm Eightfold that he’d encountered. Even labeling him the strongest of the Spirit Realm Eightfold wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
It was because of this that the Taixu Venerable was extremely curious about what kind of secret this junior had. He had reached a realm that many cultivators could not reach even after thousands of years of cultivation, and also possessed extraordinary strength. There must be an astonishing secret behind this.
If he could obtain and master this secret, then he might be able to further strengthen himself.
Pei Xuanjing nonchalantly played with the jade ruyi in his hand and replied disdainfully, “People always say that the cultivators in the Nine Realms spirit are the pinnacle of existence in the world, and no cultivator below this realm can beat them. But I’m skeptical about this. Today, I’d like to test the truth.”
The Realm of the Nine Spirit Levels was a sky-leaping step.
Once you reach the realm of the Nine Spirit Levels, you reach the pinnacle of mortal cultivation. Any cultivator below this realm is simply incapable of resisting their might, hence they’re referred to as the supreme.
However, in Pei Xuanjing’s view, these so-called “supreme ones” were only so revered because they hadn’t encountered strong enough opponents to shatter their overblown reputations, hence the numerous legends about them.
Having lived through experiences in the vast wilderness realm, Pei Xuanjing understood that these supreme ones of the Nine Spirit Levels were not invincible. If powerful enough, it wasn’t impossible to suppress and defeat the supreme ones of the Nine Spirit Levels using the power of the Eightfold Spirit Realm, as he’d done so himself.
After saying this, Pei Xuanjing showed no concern for how others regarded him. He took one step, crossing infinite voids in an instant and closing the distance to the Taixu Venerable. A purple and cyan thunder light flashed from his eyes, and Shenxiao Origin Qi flowed freely, transforming the Four Seasons and Five Orders at will, as if in that moment he had unified with heaven and earth.
“Junior, you’re quite arrogant. The gap between a cultivator of the Eightfold Spirit Realm and the supreme is unimaginable. In this world, only the supreme can beat and suppress the supreme. You’re just being presumptuous and acting recklessly,” said the Taixu Venerable with a sarcastic smile.
He had originally regarded Pei Xuanjing as a heroic character, but he had now come to find him absurdly humorous. Perhaps his smooth journey thus far had inflated his ego, making him bold enough to think of suppressing him.
As he spoke, the Taixu Xuanqi around him circulated, and the Taixu Mirror in his hand shone brightly, enveloping Pei Xuanjing with a brilliance that seemed to shatter time and space, appearing in front of him in an instant.
Seeing this, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t phased. He held the jade ruyi in his left hand, and his right hand, slender and pure white, opened up to reveal the Six-Color Sword.
The power of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder then spread around the law sword. The sword in Pei Xuanjing’s hand radiated a terrifying power. He raised his hand and slashed it.
Squish!
One sword destroys all laws!
Despite your many divine abilities, I will strike with one sword.
The mirror’s light that was shattering space and time was neutralized by the sword light from Pei Xuanjing’s blow, completely disappearing. The residual sword qi formed a long river of sword qi, sweeping towards the Taixu Venerable, densely spreading across the sky.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing’s Six-Color Sword, after the opening of the small world, not only had the Sanbao Jade Ruyi refined, but this sword too was baptized by the qi of chaos and the power of creation. Its power was now much stronger than the initial strength it had when it was just cultivated from his Taoist Skill.
Now, the power of this Six-Color Sword is not inferior to many high-level divine weapons. Besides, its invisible and dispersed characteristic makes it more convenient for Pei Xuanjing.
Countless sword qi rivers swept across the sky, shattering the void, causing the Taixu Venerable’s face to turn cold.
Although he had already experienced Pei Xuanjing’s sword skills, when his true body reappeared, and he genuinely faced this sky full of sword qi, he couldn’t help but be secretly alarmed.
The Taixu Mirror gently brushed in front of him, flashing countless rays of lights and further enveloping him. Despite being surrounded by these sword qi rivers, he did not sustain even the slightest injury.
“This Taixu Mirror is certainly a top-level divine weapon treasure, it’s deeply profound.” Pei Xuanjing exclaimed with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
So far, the exchanges between the Taixu Venerable and him had not really brought out his true strength. Mostly, the Taixu Venerable relied on his Taixu Mirror to fend off his attacks. Therefore, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t help but admire the power of the Taixu Mirror.
Once the river of sword qi dissipated, the Taixu Venerable’s face looked gloomy, and he decisively made his move. “Junior, I’ve no more time to play with you. Die!”
The Taixu Mirror in his hand gradually dimmed, replaced by a seal appearing, simple and unadorned, yet emitting a terrifying aura, as if it could punch a hole into the earth.
