Xiao Yan's previous attack had combined the power of the Five-colored Fiery Lotus and the power of the Heavenly Calamity. Even a cultivator at the Initial Tribulation Stage would not be able to withstand the violent power. Sword Venerable Firmament had also been severely injured in that clash.
If Sword Venerable Firmament had not pushed his strength to the limit, he would have been even more injured in that clash.
Although the Ancient Sword Venerable Firmament was powerful, fine cracks had appeared on the surface of the sword. If Sword Venerable Firmament had not placed his Primordial Spirit in the sword, the Ancient Sword Venerable Firmament would have been destroyed by Xiao Yan.
However, Xiao Yan's situation was even worse. His Dharmic power and aura dimmed uncontrollably.
Although the Five-colored Fiery Lotus was powerful, the pressure was also great and would cause damage to his Primordial Spirit.
He did not use the Nether Evil Flame and the Mysterious Heavenly Tribulation Flame, the two most violent and unstable True Fires, to fuse with the fiery lotus. This allowed him to activate the Firmament Fiery Lotus more quickly, and he would not be completely exhausted.
However, his Divine Powers and Dharmic powers were inevitably at a low ebb.
Even the power of the Heavenly Calamity was not as strong as he wished. The red light of the Heavenly Calamity also gradually dimmed.
Since he was not in his best condition, it became extremely difficult for him to break through the crack in the Netherworld Sea.
Sword Venerable Firmament, who was fighting with Xiao Yan, naturally sensed all of this immediately. As he laughed, he forcefully suppressed his injuries and mustered his remaining courage to continue attacking Xiao Yan.
Green sword light flashed continuously, piercing through the void and attacking Xiao Yan like a storm.
"Junior, it's commendable for you to have such strength as a Primordial Spirit Incarnation Realm cultivator. However, you're still far from being able to stop my Immortal Heaven from reappearing!" Almost everyone knew the strengths and weaknesses of Xiao Yan's Firmament Fiery Lotus. Although Sword Venerable Firmament had been trapped in Shushan for a long time, he was also well aware of this.
Xiao Yan's ultimate attack could not do anything to him. Now, he was at his mercy.
Part of Sword Venerable Firmament's attention was focused on the Heavenly Immortal Primordium Sword Formation fighting Sword Venerable Tiangang. At the same time, he was also paying attention to Chu Yang, Luo Qingwu, and Zhuge Zhan.
Right now, even though he had the confidence to kill Xiao Yan who had fallen into a trough, he himself was also injured. If Luo Qingwu and the other two attacked now, they might not be able to do anything to him, but if he wanted to kill Xiao Yan, it would also be difficult.
Sword Venerate Firmament felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.
The source of this feeling is Xiao Yan in front of him. This causes him to not hesitate at all, wanting to kill the threat as soon as possible.
Xiao Yan's expression was a little ashen, but his expression was calm, his gaze focused and calm. He calmly mobilized his remaining mana and did his best to gather Heaven's Calamity's power to protect himself, countering every move that came his way, blocking Sword Venerable Firmament's attack.
That ferocious red radiance lit up once again, blocking Sword Venerable Firmament's green sword-light.
However, this red light became more and more violent, gradually revealing a chaotic and unstable state.
In Xiao Yan's current state, it was already too much for him to control the power of Heaven's Bane as he wished. If he forced it, he would lose control of the power.
Sword Venerable Firmament's attacks became more and more urgent. His eyes were shrewd and ruthless, and he could see where Xiao Yan's problem lay. As long as he maintained enough pressure, Xiao Yan would be forced to forcibly draw upon the power of Heavenly Calamity, and the result of losing control of the power would be that Xiao Yan himself would be the first to be devoured by that fierce and overbearing red light.
Although the situation was becoming more and more advantageous to him, the feeling of unease in Sword Exalt Firmament's heart was becoming more and more intense.
"If this kid had only utilized this strange energy from the beginning and used other methods to deal with me, then even if it would be difficult for him to defeat me, he might not necessarily lose, and the situation might even fall into a stalemate. Why does he want to dig his own grave?" Sword Exalt Firmament's eyes narrowed into slits as a cold light surged ceaselessly within them.
The stalemate was actually advantageous to Xiao Yan. Sword Exalt Firmament's energy was being held up by Xiao Yan, and Sword Exalt Firmament could not be distracted. On the other side, Sword Exalt Firmament would gradually gain the upper hand against the Heavenly Immortal Primordium Sword Formation.
The Heavenly Immortal Sword had yet to completely return to perfection, and the sword formation did not have Sword Exalt Firmament presiding over it. In the end, he would not be able to hold off a great sword cultivator like Sword Exalt Firmament for long. In fact, Sword Exalt Firmament might even be able to seize control of the Heavenly Immortal Primordium Sword Formation in the end.
In Sword Exalt Firmament's eyes, Xiao Yan's eagerness to end the battle with a single strike was extremely abnormal. Other than Xiao Yan overestimating himself and advancing rashly, he could not find any other reason.
However, Sword Exalt Firmament's intuition told him that although Xiao Yan was upright, he was not such a reckless and unwise person.
With this thought in mind, Sword Exalt Firmament's sword shook, and he once again activated his Firmament Immortal Sword True Fruit to strengthen the ancient sword Firmament. Then, he once again executed the Primordial Spirit Sword Projection Technique, pushing his strength to the extreme.
He first blocked the attacks of Luo Qingwu, Chu Yang, and Zhuge Zhan with his sword. Then, he immediately turned around and swung his sword. The sword and man became one, turning into a boundless green light that covered the sky and earth as it attacked Xiao Yan.
The green light world collapsed into a line and fiercely slashed down at Xiao Yan.
The red light around Xiao Yan flickered continuously, blocking Sword Exalt Firmament's sword.
However, the red light that was enduring Sword Exalt Firmament's fierce attack gradually started to lose control. The originally abnormally ferocious light no longer obeyed Xiao Yan's orders and focused solely on defense. Instead, it started to attack Sword Exalt Firmament.
What put Xiao Yan in even more danger was that the red light was not only attacking outwards, but it was also attacking internally, endangering Xiao Yan's safety.
The line of green light started to return to its original state under the violent attacks of the red light, no longer condensing. Sword Exalt Firmament and the ancient sword Firmament were also continuously enduring its attacks.
However, after losing the protection of the red light, Xiao Yan, who was suffering from the red light's backlash and Sword Exalt Firmament's powerful attacks, was in an even more precarious situation. It looked like he was about to die here!
Xiao Yan let out a long roar, and his primordial spirit instantly shed its human form, turning into a Taiji diagram of flames. The seven great true fires turned into many small flames, together forming a huge Taiji diagram that covered the sky.
The colorful flames were divided into Yin and Yang, spinning continuously in the world. However, they had lost their previous vitality and brilliance, appearing extremely weak.
Suddenly, beams of golden light surged out from the Taiji diagram, covering the entire Taiji diagram. The light soared into the sky, isolating the red light from the Heavenly Calamity's backlash and Sword Exalt Firmament's sword light.
Countless inscriptions were carved into the void within the thick golden pillar of light, giving off a profound concept of power.
When Sword Exalt Firmament saw this golden pillar of light, he could not help but be stunned, "God's Descent Treasure Protecting Light? The Taixu Temple's God's Descent Golden Elixir?! "
In the instant that the God's Descent Treasure Protecting Light appeared, Xiao Yan stabilized the power of Heavenly Calamity that had gone out of control. He then reduced its power, returning it to his control once more.
The red light gathered once more, merging with the golden God's Descent Treasure Protecting Light to resist Sword Exalt Firmament's attack together.
Sword Exalt Firmament returned to his senses and snorted coldly, "So what if it's the God's Descent Treasure Protecting Light?"
His attacks became even more urgent. Although the power of Heavenly Calamity helped him defend once more, the golden God's Descent Treasure Protecting Light was still being worn down rapidly.
Under Sword Exalt Firmament's attacks, the golden God's Descent Treasure Protecting Light gradually disappeared. As for Xiao Yan's power of Heavenly Calamity, he did not strengthen it. As a result, the red light was gradually being broken through by the green light.
Beams of green sword-light began to pierce through the red light, landing on the Taiji diagram formed by Xiao Yan's Yuan Shen, truly injuring Xiao Yan's Yuan Shen.
The flames were extinguished one after another, and many scars appeared on the Taiji diagram, tearing out cracks and gaps.
As if forced to, the ferocious red light formed by the power of Heavenly Calamity around the Taiji diagram finally grew stronger once more.
However, as the red light resisted Sword Exalt Firmament's attacks, it gradually lost control and became chaotic once more.
However, a long sigh came from the Taiji diagram formed by Xiao Yan's Yuan Shen, "It's just as master said. I need a whetstone that can bring me a crisis of life and death. It can help me speed up my comprehension of the profundities of Heavenly Calamity, as well as help me completely discern my future path."
In the Netherworld Sea that only Xiao Yan could see, the red light grew denser and denser in the gloomy world that was filled with calamities and tribulations. Although it had yet to return to its previous appearance as the Heavenly Calamity Stone, it was gradually beginning to take shape.
Although this incomparably ferocious creation treasure was not as resolute as the Heaven Exterminating Sword, it was similarly filled with the power to destroy the world, as if it wanted to bring calamity and destruction to the Great Thousand Worlds.
However, it itself contained the power of creation and unique concepts. In the process of reforming its form, it once again evolved the process of achieving creation and the Great Dao.
Before the war between the two worlds, Xiao Yan had remained in the Netherworld Sea. Apart from communicating with the power of Heavenly Calamity and the Netherworld Sea, he had been observing the process and comprehending the principles within.
At the same time as these principles and concepts unceasingly verified Xiao Yan's own comprehension of cultivating the Yin and Yang Returning Origin Sutra, they also gradually cleared away the fog in front of Xiao Yan, revealing a clear path.
However, Xiao Yan's cultivation and comprehension had gradually reached a bottleneck, and he had yet to take that final step.
At this moment, the path before him was finally completely clear. Xiao Yan had officially stepped into this brand new world before him!
Amidst the long howl, specks of light suddenly flickered in the center of the Taiji diagram formed by Xiao Yan's Yuan Shen. They seemed dim, but they grew brighter.
It was as if sparks had suddenly shot out from a pile of fire that had been completely burnt out, before reigniting once more. The sparks instantly turned into a prairie fire!
The entire Taiji diagram seemed to have regained its luster at this moment. The flames surged into the sky, sweeping away the dejected and weak aura from before. It grew more and more vigorous and violent.
Sword Venerable Firmament's heart sank as he stared fixedly at Xiao Yan's Yuan Shen. With his understanding and experience of the Dao of Heaven and Earth, he quickly understood the changes in the Dharmic power and aura of Xiao Yan's Yuan Shen, "The power of the Dao of Life?! Furthermore, it's the power of the Dao of Life that far surpasses the ordinary and is rarely seen in the world. Cultivators of his realm have never seen the power of the Dao of Life! "
As Xiao Yan's Yuan Shen regained its vigor, the power of Heavenly Calamity that it triggered also grew abruptly, completely blocking off Sword Venerable Firmament's attack.
However, what was even more terrifying was that a flaming lotus was condensing on the Taiji diagram.
Milky white, pure gold, bluish-purple, green and black. The five colors represented the Pure Yang True Fire, Extreme Yang True Fire, Nether Evil Flame, Ksitigarbha True Fire and Mysterious Heaven Tribulation Flame respectively.
This was a fiery lotus that was even more domineering and powerful than the five-colored fiery lotus that Xiao Yan had activated for the first time!
The power of annihilation and destruction contained within it caused Sword Venerable Firmament's heart to turn cold.
A long howl resounded from the Taiji diagram, "The birth and destruction of the Dao, the incessant fire, incinerating the heavens and destroying the earth, surviving the calamity."
Amidst the howl, the terrifying fiery lotus flew out and struck towards Sword Venerable Firmament. Raging flames soared into the sky and tore the blue sky apart!
