Chapter 576

The sky was collapsing, and the destruction was unpredictable. The blue sky was right in front of them, crushing them.

Xiao Chuhe had just thrown out his fist intent when Gu Canghai, Wei Peining, Ji Ming, Chang Ya, Lu Yao, and the rest felt like they were being blown away by the wind and rain. They felt like they had turned into tiny moths, struggling in the incoming natural storm. They felt like they had been kicked out of this world, and were not allowed to exist in this world.

Right then, a purple sword light flew out of the chariot. It split into two as soon as it appeared, one going up toward the collapsing sky, while the other went forward, trying to crush the blue sky.

The sword light was extremely fast, but in the eyes of the adepts in the distance, and in the eyes of Gu Canghai and Wei Peining who were nearby, the purple sword light was slowly and clearly splitting into four, four into eight …

In their minds, it seemed like a whole hour had passed. But in reality, it was only a split second before the purple sword light in both directions had split into hundreds and thousands of silk-like, sharp, majestic, and noble sword lights.

The already dim sky suddenly fell into darkness, as if night had fallen. Then, a bright, noble star appeared in the middle of the night sky, and then one after another, brilliant stars rose from the night sky, dragging long, bright, and beautiful tails behind them.

These stars were either shining with bright starlight or transforming into their own bodies, forming one powerful formation after another, such as the White Tiger, the Green Dragon, the Greedy Wolf, the Vermillion Bird, the Black Tortoise, the Sky Star, and the Earth Star. They surrounded the Zi Wei Imperial Star in the middle, forming an inseparable, vast, and mysterious starry sky.

The sky and the starry sky collided, bringing up a fierce wind that was faster than the speed of sound. Some of the martial artists who were standing a bit higher in the sky were instantly blown into pieces.

In the air, the white clouds, the astral winds, the sun, and the bright moon pressed down on the shining, bright, and deep starry sky. The two sides were in a stalemate.

This shocking and grand scene exuded a breathtaking beauty.

As for the purple sword light that was moving forward, the thousands of strands of purple qi that were as thin as spider threads had also transformed into countless brilliant stars, forming one Starlight Sword Formation after another. There were white rainbows, canopies, big dipper, red lights, and so on. They accompanied a star that was emitting hazy purple qi and condensed into a dazzling pillar of starlight that slashed towards the blue sky that was coming towards them.

Although the starlight pillar was majestic and grand, it was extremely sharp. After it struck the azure sky, it effortlessly pierced through it like a knife cutting through tofu, splitting the azure sky into two. However, the white clouds, astral winds, sun, and bright moon in the azure sky each emitted a white, azure, or crimson brilliance, and they firmly resisted the enormous starlight pillar.

Xiao Chuhe was a bit surprised by Shi Shuan's sword art power. His Blue Sky Fist Intent had almost reached rank four after refining the Great Sun, Bright Moon, and his own spirit treasure. It was almost at the level of a rank four immortal art, but Shi Shuan was able to use two sword arrays at the same time, one attacking while the other defending. The power of his sword art was enough to compete with those top sword artists at the same level.

Of course, Xiao Chuhe had been through hundreds of battles, so he was very experienced and determined. This slight surprise was like a ripple that disappeared in the blink of an eye. Especially since he knew that Shi Xuan's sword art was one of the top ten sword arts in the entire universe: Sky Star Sword Art. Combined with that peak level two disaster flying sword that seemed to have eighteen layers of restrictions, it was not hard for him to achieve the half-step effect.

"Unfortunately, the Pure Yang treasure of the Flying Academy, the Purple Gold Alms Bowl, has already been traded by me for the Great Sun, Bright Moon, and that secret treasure with a rank four immortal spell sealed inside. Otherwise, if I were to use this Pure Yang treasure that can disturb the Yuan spirit right now, it would definitely have a miraculous effect when he has exhausted a lot of his mental power."

Because of his martial arts, he could not bring out the full power of the Pure Yang treasure. Once he had the chance, he would naturally trade it for something that he could use.

All of a sudden, a feeling appeared in Xiao Chuhe's heart. If this dragged on, he would be the one who would suffer the loss. So, he had to make the first move!

He had always been a decisive and decisive person. Although he was not willing to give up, with a thought, the sealed rank four immortal art was about to be activated.

However, right at that moment, above that huge starlight pillar that seemed to be blocked by the blue sky, the white clouds, the wind, the sun, and the moon, a dark, cold, and silent chaotic world appeared vaguely, adding its power to the starlight pillar.

Although this Chaosworld was very small and imperfect, it was still a complete Minor Chiliocosm. It was a power that only Heavenly Immortals and almighty experts possessed. Even though it had only been augmented by less than 10% of its power, it was enough to elevate the vast pillar of starlight from a near-fourth-tier immortal art to a true fourth-tier immortal art.

"Small thousand world? Heavenly treasure?! " It was not until then that Xiao Chuhe's premonition of being at a disadvantage suddenly turned into a feeling of extreme danger, as if his life might be in danger.

…

Inside the chariot, Shi Xuan had a serious expression on his face. His left hand kept forming hand seals, forming a black and white eight trigrams around the Tai Chi diagram. Above his head was a picture that was filled with chaos, releasing beams of light. At first glance, that picture seemed to have its own space, deep, mysterious, and horrifying.

…

In front of the dazzling starlight pillar that was enhanced by the power of the Heavenly Abode, the blue sky was like a thin piece of paper. It was easily sliced in half by it. What clouds, what astral winds, what sun, what bright moon, nothing could stop it.

In less than a second, the starlight pillar had already reached Xiao Chuhe's body.

He had no way to dodge, and he did not even have the time to perform his secret arts. He could only watch the starlight attack his body.

Right then, a pitch-black shiny needle had just appeared in front of Xiao Chuhe's body when it flashed in front of the chariot. It then stabbed right into it without making a sound. It was so fast that Gu Canghai and Wei Peining, the two Yin God Venerables, who were guarding on the sides of the chariot, did not even notice anything unusual. After that, the chariot returned to its usual silence, as if that black needle had never appeared before.

Endless starlight exploded everywhere, turning Xiao Chuhe into specks of dust. His last thought before falling into the eternal darkness was, "Fortunately, I used that secret treasure. So, it could be considered a mutual destruction. Why is there no sign of an immortal art?! "

The starlight got brighter and brighter, and Xiao Chuhe's body had completely disappeared, disappearing into the bright light.

Xiao Chuhe, who had never lost a single battle since he started his cultivation, had lost a battle for the first time.

However, his first failure had cost him his life, and his opponent had only thrown out one sword attack.

With one sword attack, the second tribulation Earth Immortal Xiao Chuhe, who had dominated the world for thousands of years and represented invincibility, had fallen!

…

Inside the chariot that was completely covered by his yuan sense, a dark, deep black hole appeared in front of Shi Xuan. It seemed to be spinning continuously, and that shiny black needle seemed to be stopped by some invisible power. It stopped right in front of the black hole, then slowly, bit by bit, it moved toward the black hole. At the same time, its condensed light was slowly disappearing.

In less than a few seconds, the shiny black thorn became dim. Shi Xuan changed his mind and the Chaotic Hole became bigger. It flew forward and enveloped the thorn. Then, the dark Chaotic Hole shrank rapidly. The bright yellow agarwood chariot was restored to its tranquility.

After erasing all the traces in the chariot, Shi Xuan let out a sigh of relief. Besides the fact that he could not use his Yin Yang Black Hole Godly Light in the open and could only be as careful as before, not daring to cause too much of a commotion, he had used all of his ace attacks one after another. He had used up all of his best attacks, including the completed eighteen layers of the Second Disaster Purple Ying Sword, the Minor Sky Star Sword Array, the power of the Natural Mountain and River Diagram, the Tai Chi Art, and the Precelestial Eight Trigrams. Finally, he had killed Xiao Chuhe with one sword attack!

…

In the eyes of the martial artists in the distance, as well as Gu Canghai, Wei Peining, Ji Ming, and Chang Ya, they could only see that huge starlight pillar falling down. The blue sky had only resisted for a second before shattering. Then, that tall and slim figure had also disappeared in that bright starlight.

It was only one sword attack, but Xiao Chuhe, who was known to be invincible and had the body of a saint, had been crushed.

As he fell, all of the martial artists, including Guo Yuquan, had lost their confidence, aura, and goals. They felt that the road ahead of them was filled with darkness and confusion.

The previous scene was so grand and spectacular, but the final outcome was so understated, causing people to involuntarily feel their hair stand on end and their hearts to tremble.

But compared to the despair, helplessness, darkness, and bewilderment in the hearts of the martial cultivators, it was nothing.

"The path of martial arts is over …"

"Even if one had trained his martial intent to this level, he would not be able to escape the fate of dying under one sword attack. Then, what is the point of us training so hard for?"

"Don't think that the Daoist Martial Arts had declined before, but it was only temporary. Any random powerful warrior would be able to suppress all of the other martial artists."

"Compared to the Daoist Martial Arts, the fist intent and sword intent are just too weak. Eh, I am only at the Qi Gathering Realm. It is not too late for me to turn to the Daoist Martial Arts! "

If it were someone else who had fallen, the impact on the confidence of these martial artists would not have been so thorough. However, Xiao Chuhe was the symbol of the path of martial arts in the Yuanmang Great World. His fall was like the collapse of their faith, making the martial artists start to deny their own path.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The sound of thunder continued to appear and disappear. It was like a funeral for the martial arts, a funeral for the dreams in their hearts.

Wei Peining, Gu Canghai, Lu Yao, Ji Ming, and the others beside the bright yellow agarwood carriage felt as if they were in a dream, and they couldn't believe what they saw with their own eyes.

The Earth Level Deity Xiao Chuhe, who stood at the top of the world and seemed invincible, had fallen just like that? This was not realistic! It was even more ridiculous than those stories!

After waking up, an uncontrollable ecstasy rose in their hearts. Gu Canghai and Wei Peining had just realized that Shi Xuan had never mentioned his exact cultivation. He had only used his Yuan Spirit to deal with them. Could it be that he was already a Three Tribulation Yang God Zhenren?

Ji Ming, Chang Ya, and the rest of the disciples had developed a blind trust and admiration for the Zhenren in the chariot. Whether it was a Man Deity, a One Tribulation Earth Level Deity, or a Two Tribulation Earth Level Deity, he could easily kill them with one sword attack.

"I never knew that our Daoist Martial Arts would be this powerful at the end. We must train hard in the future and never slack off. We will strive to reach the same cultivation level as Shi Zhenren one day!" Their confidence kept rising.
