Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The relationship between the five phoenixes and Yunyang was that they were associates. Since Yunyang’s birth, they had grown up with him and protected him from Xia Kingdom’s masters, from being hunted down by powerhouses of the Eastern Barbarians that had gotten closer to Xia Kingdom. Now, each of the phoenix had grown to the state of land immortals and each of them belonged to one of the elements of the five elements. Once they collaborated, there would be a variation between creation and destruction and it was profound and boundless. With the addition of Yunyang, even those of the heavenly immortal state would feel that he was extremely troublesome.

Facing the natal invasive killing of the four phoenixes, the corners of Emperor Xia’s lips had a cruel and cold smile. In the blink of an eye, a huge explosion rang out.

It was seen that within the orifices points on Emperor Xia’s body, wisps and strands of Universal Qi of Virtue floated like willows, like thousands of silk sashes.

From the earth, Emperor Xia slowly moved up as his facial expression was chilling and forbidding. The surrounding flames, black water, mire and thousands of golden needle-like light that harassed him were destroyed by the Universal Qi of Virtue and it vanished without a trace.

Emperor Xia stood in brilliance, as though an ancient divine demon had entered to the world. He was filled with harsh, impassive and haughty aura as he looked at all the being disdainfully from the corner of his eyes.

Shen Lian sighed to himself, there odds were completely against Yunyang. This was because Emperor Xia had defended using the indestructible body.

Like the King Kong Strength, the Art of Gigantes or any similar cultivation methods that had reached the state of the land immortal and Arhat, it could be called damage proof bodies, even the thunders from the gods could not do anything. Nonetheless, these kind of bodies still had its weakness. Once it encountered any restraining magical talisman or occult techniques, the body would be destroy and the Dao would vanish. But, when it was brought to one level higher, it would be an indestructible body. For those who have cultivated to this level, it was not that difficult for one to defeat people of this level but to kill these people, it was extremely challenging. If this was brought even one further step, it was the so call the reborn from a blood drop state. Only those of on the level of Daoist master and Buddha could entirely eliminate these kinds of people.

To cultivate the Dao of the physical body, it did not have many transformations compared to the Primordial Spirit of Daoism. However, once it had reached a higher and deeper level, it could surpass the connoisseurs of Daoism.

Just like that monkey from the legends 1 , considering the mana state, there were many in the heaven that were above him. However, speaking solely about the efforts of preserving one’s life, there were only a handful of people in the heavens and universe that could be on par with him. This was because he had cultivated the indestructible body.

To be able to cultivate to this state, it did not rely on epiphanies and states for success but it also relied on limitless piles of resources such as spiritual materials and treasure items that are used to absorb its sun essence and the radiance of the earth. Even the celestial elixir that one could only encounter by chance was used, only then there was a chance for success.

For Emperor Xia to cultivate the indestructible body, naturally he had relied on the long years of accumulation of the Xia Kingdom to be able to have this mystical art. It was also due to his unique bloodline.

However, with Shen Lian’s brilliant eyesight, he could see the hidden troubles in Emperor Xia’s imperishable body. It was that his flesh and spirit had not truly combine as one. If there was a peerless spirit vanquishing method, it could still put him to death.

This flaw was not something that could be simply remedied but a kind of misfortune trial was needed to be experienced, only then he could complete this achievement. This was like how that monkey underwent the burning of the True Samadhi Fire that burnt for forty-nine days in Taishang Laojun’s Eight Trigram Furnace. Finally, he had truly cultivated the indestructible body and he had even gotten the supernatural power of the Piercing Eye.

Naturally, Yunyang did not have this kind of occult techniques in vanquishing the spirit. At this moment, all five phoenixes flew behind him and each of them swallowed and spitted out five-colored lights. All of the lights were poured into Yunyang, causing his divine light to be plentiful and this forced the demonic blade to not be able to take one step closer.

Emperor took a step further, like a demonic god, there was a maniacal laugh as he said, “I am matchlessly undefeatable, even if you were the son of the White Emperor, so what?”

He raised his hands and the demonic blade flew back into his hand.

Yunyang’s facial expression was cool as he stared straight at Emperor Xia. The five phoenixes burrowed into his body. A pair of five-colored phoenix wings grew out of Yunyang’s body as five-colored flames burnt around him.

The vitality that nourished all beings and the horrifying destructive aura seeped out from it.

Shen Lian’s mind and spirit were jarred as he could sense with his gut that there was an intriguing transformation that had happened to Yunyang. That would be his true root.

Emperor Xia was unfazed. With one chop of his blade, it was as though there was a glow of the morning light had shone in the eternal long nights.

“A marvel done by Nature’s hands, o’er light and shade it dominates.” Out of nowhere, Shen Lian thought of this phrase from a poem, which somehow coincided with Emperor Xia’s current blade technique.

It was definitely hard to use any words to describe just how quick the blade was, this was because the blade gave out a perplexing and contradictory feeling. With this blade movement, the specific trail of the blade could be seen. As for the principle of law of heaven and earth that were attached to the gleam of the blade told of an unexplainable Dao of Yin Yang Udayabbaya.

But for Yunyang who was directly facing this blade, he was the one who could feel the most when it came to the terror of this blade. The flow of time of the space that he was in seemed like it had become extremely slow, even an instance felt extremely long. Thus, even his thoughts were slightly sluggish. He could only watch as the blade crossed through the space and came for him. The blade manifested the abstruse of birth and fragmented into the paths of Yin Yang Udayabbaya and deliver him from life to death.

Once the blade got close to the front of him, the gleam of the blade completely exploded into pieces and it completely engulfed Yunyang.

If it was said that those of the Buddhist and celestial sects make a move, the mountain would crumble and the earth would shatter, then this blade by Emperor Xia was annihilation. This gleams of the blade would annihilate everything in reach. There was no difference between the weak or the strong, every matter within the parameter of the gleam of the blade would vanish.

The formidable part of this blade was that it was like the morning light that broke through the veil of the sky, to give the land its light.

Emperor Xia’s blade method was definitely not limited to this, but Yunyang could only encounter this blade.

In this vast world with hundreds of years passed, there were not many supernatural powers that could compare favorably with this blade.

No matter the kind of cultivator, if one encountered Emperor Xia’s blade, even with just a slight weakness in the Daoist’s mind, there was a possibility the blade’s shadow would be left behind. This would cause the Daoist to not be able to have another breakthrough for the rest of his life.

Once the blade passed, the universe cleared up. However, there was still the loud and clear shrieks of the phoenix ringing, it was unyielding. Following that, there was a streak of True Fire that sprinted towards the eastern direction. It transformed into a red rainbow and there was no trace of it within the blink of an eye.

Shen Lian recognized that True Fire. It was the Phoenix Fire of Nirvana. It was true that Yunyang did not block against Emperor Xia’s demonic blade but he had the Fire of Nirvana. To one’s surprise, he rose from the ashes and preserved more than half of his origins.

He reincarnated into a red rainbow and just reincarnated.

Nonetheless, Yunyang was considered a failure. Even if he could reincarnate, his Qi of vitality was severely hurt. Even more, he did not even injure Emperor Xia by an inch and even got the Emperor to display his almost unbeatable military force.

Emperor Xia and Yunyang caused their battleground to have a humongous crate that spanned up to hundreds of miles. It was exceptionally smooth. The heavy continued falling and very quickly, it stuck to the top of it. The snow was pure white. If one person were to be within it, it would be hard for him to realize that he was within a huge snow pit.

Fifty thousand Xia soldiers quickly gathered by Emperor Xia’s side like ants. They continuously cried out Emperor Xia’s unique words of praises. Emperor Xia transformed back to the normal human size and did not look delighted. He only said to Guan Longzi who was before him, “This time, I have truly frightened the younger generation.”

Guan Longzi’s gaze was fevered. He could finally witness his Emperor’s heroic posture after so many years. It was exactly this display by Emperor Xia that allowed him to follow after him even till death without remorse.

Shen Lian poured a pot of water to the outside. He closed his eyes and thought about Emperor Xia’s blade method. He had at least six methods to overcome the blow of the blade, dismantle the will of the creation of the Yin Yang Udayabbaya. Nonetheless, Emperor Xia’s blade method was definitely not confined to that one move. There were more.
