Chapter 790: Chapter 497: Dualities

Combat, combat, combat, “One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones,” displaying formations and battling fierce dragons.

“Heeheehee!”

The Sword Child chuckled. Holding the Zi Ying in his arms, he drew his swords with both hands, and with a majestic slash, a destructive sword qi erupted like purple thunder, charging fiercely towards his opponent.

“Here I come!”

Old Sword’s long howl approached, and with the Qing Suo sword in hand, he executed a slash radiating jade-green sword light, imbued with the essence of creation, devoid of any murderous intent.

However, the Sword Master in the center, with a flick of his fingers, transformed the essence of life into the energy of death, creation into destruction, and concealed within it the posture of Chaos Yuan, leading to illusions ephemeral and unreal, falsities within dreams.

…

Such an attack was fraught with killing intent and extreme peril at every turn.

Nevertheless, Xu Yang remained completely unfazed, as Xuanyuan moved unhindered, the Divine Sword opening and closing, cleaving through the purple lightning and shattering the jade-green electricity.

In the end, although the edge of life and death illusion bore down on him, and the twilight yin and yang qi approached, it all dissipated with the flash of a precious light, unable to inflict any harm whatsoever.

“Hmm!?”

Seeing this outcome, Ren Baimei frowned, voicing his concern from his left and right bodies.

“Inverting Yin and Yang?”

“Chaotic Five Elements!”

The Sword Child and Old Sword each cried out, naming their opponent’s divine abilities, until finally the Sword Master spoke gravely, “The Li Ground Flame Light Banner?”

To this, Xu Yang merely smiled without a word, fiercely contending with the Three Purities Immortal Sword.

“Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!”

Suddenly a rapid series of alarmed noises erupted. Xuanyuan’s movements were unstoppable, forcing retreat with a single sword strike against the twin swords, pressing Ren Baimei, the Sword Master.

Ren Baimei’s brow furrowed tightly as he stepped back to evade, while the Sword Child and Old Sword crossed swords at his side. Purple and green became one, ultimately withstanding the edge of Xuanyuan’s might.

This Merit Sword possessed an overwhelming aura – thunderous and momentous as if manifesting heaven and earth’s wrath. Despite being only a top-quality Immortal Implement, its might surpassed even the Purple and Green Twin Swords, requiring their combined force to restrain its sharpness.

Even as a Sword Dao True Immortal, Ren Baimei found this sword perplexing.

Though he had encountered Treasuries of Merit before, this sword…

Ren Baimei’s brow remained tightly locked as the Sword Child and Old Sword combined their swords, mixing purple and green into one hue, to combat Xuanyuan Shenfeng.

“Inverting Yin and Yang!”

“Chaotic Five Elements!”

“It’s that Ground-Departing Flame Light Banner!”

“Has the Mingxiao Observatory Master lent this treasure to Li Xuanyuan?”

“It seems that Li Xuanyuan has also mastered the Heavenly Gang Divine Powers of ‘Inverting Yin and Yang’ and the ‘Five Elements Immortal Method’.”

“With these two divine powers at his side, coupled with the ‘Impervious to All Methods’ Ground-Departing Flame Light Banner, he can stand on invincible ground.”

“Two treasures against two treasures, top quality against top quality, this…”

“Is it going to be a deadlock again?”

“No, ‘One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones’ is a Great Dao Method, and creating avatars is but a simplistic application; Ren Baimei hasn’t yet used his killer move.”

“This Great Dao Divine Ability is something he comprehended during his ascension to the Ninth Calamity True Immortal, from the Imperial Mansion Heavenly Decree Book. It has only been a century, what kind of killer move could he have?”

Hundreds of miles away, the immortals focused their attention, eyes locked on the battlefield, daring not to be distracted even for a moment.

At this moment…

The Sword Child and Old Sword, their swords united, blended purple and green into one, parried the edge of Xuanyuan’s might, and then split into two, one left and one right, one yin and one yang, with uncertain twilight and indistinguishable life and death.

Looking back at the primary incarnation of the Sword Master, Ren Baimei stood resolute at the center, his eyes filled with cryptic significance, as he announced.

“One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, the Two Instruments are but dust!”

“This battle shall end!”

No sooner had he spoken, Ren Baimei guided a sword technique, and the Three Flowers once more revealed themselves. To his sides were the hues of purple and green, while the center manifested Chaos Yuan.

Within this Chaos Yuan, a talisman emerged.

It was neither entirely a talisman nor a charm; the Three Pure Ones merged into one qi, Chaos Yuan revealed the achievement of seeing the Dao.

“This is…”

The eyes of the immortals narrowed, exclaiming in unison, “Imperial Heavenly Scrolls Tusita Divine Edict?”

“Wrong!”

The explanation was cut short as Ren Baimei’s eyes became severe, “It’s the ‘Innate One Qi Great Purity Talisman’!”

Having spoken, Ren Baimei decisively pointed with his sword, and the “Innate One Qi Great Purity Talisman” instantly dematerialized, entering the void, turning into patterns of the Dao, connecting to the purple and green light, and forming an array.

All at once, the three sword immortals seemed to become nothing, leaving only the interplay of purple and green lights within the formation, manifesting the Tai Chi, setting up eight gates, toggling light and shadow, life and death, making the ten directions of space boundless.

“What is this…?”

“Two Instruments Polarity Dust Formation!”

“Retreat!!!”

The immortals’ pupils contracted, and they were immediately alarmed, fleeing without a second thought, explosively retreating thousands of miles away.

“This…”

“Run!!!”

Upon witnessing this scene, the cultivators were first stunned, and then they were shockingly awakened, hurriedly activating their escape light and fleeing recklessly.

“What’s happening?”

“Why is everyone running?”

“Is it really so exaggerated?”

“They are Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods, are they really that timid?”

Inside the live broadcast room, people couldn’t understand the cause, and they thought the people on-site were making a big deal out of nothing.

Little did they know…

“The Two Instruments Polarity Dust Formation, the Two Instruments Polarity Dust Formation!”

“He actually managed to refine it!”

“This is the ‘One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones’!”

“No wonder…”

A thousand miles away, a group of Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods stopped in their tracks, steadied their bodies, and looked back at the battlefield with lingering fear. They gazed at the Illusory Destruction Formation covering the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, their eyes filled with shock, indescribable in words.

One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, and the Three Pure Ones return to Chaos Yuan.

This is a Divine Power of the Great Dao, not a method of avatar creation. Creating avatars to fight the enemy is the most superficial application.

Ren Baimei, with his exceptional talent, had long passed that stage and had refined the Innate One Qi Great Purity Talisman using the “Three Pure Ones Uniting as One” technique.

With this talisman in hand, one can reunite the Three Pure Ones, merge into Innate One Qi, and evolve into the strongest killing formation of the Taiqing Lineage—the Primordial Dual Polarity Dust Great Formation.

This formation, with Chaos Yuan as its foundation and combining the Principle of Yin and Yang and the mechanism of life and annihilation, claims that the Dual Realm of Yin and Yang can be as small as dust, and life and death can be decided in a thought. Let alone Human Immortals, even Earth Immortals, and True Immortals would find it extremely dangerous inside, with a slim chance of survival.

Ren Baimei had cultivated the technique of One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones, making him one of the very few within the Taiqing Sect who could set up the Two Instruments Polarity Dust Formation.

Even though his Two Instruments Polarity Dust Formation does not have the power to create and destroy worlds, it is capable of determining the life and death of a True Immortal.

Not to mention within the formation, even outside it is immensely terrifying, otherwise, these Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods wouldn’t have lost their composure and retreated a thousand miles in shock.

“To perform this formation, is he intending to utterly destroy his enemy?”

“Two Instruments Microcosm, Dual Realms as dust, life and death cycle endlessly, Immortals and Gods are in reincarnation!”

“This battle… is truly to the death!”

“That Li Xuanyuan…”

The Immortals retreated a thousand miles and gazed from afar at the battlefield, watching the two realms of the Illusory Destruction Formation flicker between twilight and brightness, totally unexpected that matters would turn out this way.

A sword duel, to go to such lengths?

With Ren Baimei performing the Two Instruments Polarity Dust Formation, if Li Xuanyuan does not have other methods and relies solely on the Li Ground Flame Light Banner, I’m afraid it would be difficult for him to pass this trial.

In front of the Two Instruments Polarity Dust Formation, with one thought determining life and death between Yin and Yang realms, the so-called Impervious to All Methods cannot withstand the test at all.

So…

“It seems it’s finally coming to an end!”

A soft murmur, answering the call, the swordsman shot into the air and soared into the ninth heaven.

“Hum!”

Following that, a thousand miles away, the cultivators drastically changed color, pressing their hands against their Magical Treasures. A group of disciples from the Sword Sect, in particular, were aghast and angry, forcefully suppressing their swords in their sheaths.

“What happened?”

“This sword…!”

The cultivators clenched their teeth and forcefully subdued their Magical Treasures; the Sword Sect disciples pressed down even harder on their swords.

Still, there was a sound of clashing metal as the swords fought to break free from their sheaths.

Even inside the Storage Bags and Sumi Rings, there was a tumult of activity, numerous Items clanging, striving to break free and come forth.

“This…”

The group of Calamity Realm Immortals and Gods also showed shocked expressions, looking at their own equipment to see streams of light bursting forth uncontrollably, transforming into Sword Qi Primordial Spirits.

“!!!”

Upon witnessing this scene, the Immortals’ pupils shrank, and as they looked around, they saw all people, all weapons, all artefacts, and all treasures exuding Primordial Spirits, with Sword Qi becoming visible.

Not just the people, not just the weapons, but even…

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The world trembled, and thunder roared.

The people looked up to see that in the sky, the wind, clouds, and even the flashes of lightning had all turned into vast flows of swords, and even in the void, where nothingness reigned, Yuan Spirit Qi took on the form of swords.

“Hum!!!”

Ten thousand miles away, within Scholar’s Palace, the movements of the various sect disciples faltered. Looking down, they saw Sword Qi emerging from the core of their beings.

Flying Boats, Warships, Mecha, even the academies of Scholar’s Palace all had the Sword Light rising.

Sword edges were seen everywhere, and vast currents flowed in all places.

In the midst of the battlefield, a voice from the ninth heaven echoed, and Xu Yang, silent and wordless, simply extended one hand forward.

He held out his hand, and within his palm, a brilliant Sword Light suddenly appeared.

Majestic Sword Light, fierce Sword Intent.

As if connecting heaven and earth, man and sword became one.

In an instant, the world shook, hearts were moved, and Sword Qi from all directions converged into billions of massive flows, like rivers entering the ocean, lifting up a Majestic and Regal Holy Sword.

The sword was golden yellow, split into two sides—one bearing the image of the sun, moon, and stars, the other depicting the mountains and rivers, one depicting the techniques of agriculture and husbandry, and the other bearing the Strategy of Uniting the all Lands, shining brightly with an imposing presence unmatched in ancient and modern times, truly a supreme Holy Divine Weapon.

Xuanyuan!

“Boom!!!”

The Sword Light blazed forth, the Sword Momentum grew wild, stretching ten, a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand zhang. The Divine Sword’s radiance rose like a mountain, reaching the clouds, splitting the universe in two and creating a magnificent spectacle where the heavens and earth lined up.

With the authority bestowed by Nine Rituals Heavenly Venerate, he Commanded Heaven and Earth!

The Xuanyuan Divine Sword Jue, the Nine Instruments Celestial Honor Method, the ultimate skill of the Holy Tao!

“Boom!”

As Xuanyuan stood erect, Nine Rituals dominated the heavens, the Divine Sword cleaved the universe, reaching beyond the celestial space, then descended from beyond the heavens, striking directly at the Golden Summit of Mount Emei and the Two Instruments Microcosm.

“Boom!!!”

With a thunderous crash that shook the heavens and earth, Xuanyuan opened the heavens and split the earth, landing on the Tai Chi Diagram. The Two Instruments Polarity Formation instantly turned to dust, following the separation of the heavens and earth, collapsing with a boom, and even Mount Emei itself split in two.

One sword devastated stars, cleaved mountains, and split peaks!

The world was in turmoil, Yuan Spirits scattered and dust and smoke billowed, obscuring the sight of the people who could no longer see the figure of the True Immortal, hearing only a cold voice.

“Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect…”

“Concedes defeat!!!”
