Chapter 2161: Heavenly Dao Fist
The Sovereign's Ascension
Gu Xiyan began to hallucinate. In his eyes, when Ye Qingtian held onto the Flower Burial Sword and charged at him, he seemed to have become Flower Burial at this moment. This made him briefly stunned, and he wasnât able to react in time.
When he came to his senses, Gu Xiyan felt that his life was being threatened since the sword was aimed at his forehead, and it couldnât be dodged. A moment could change the outcome of a battle among geniuses, and one would lose the opportunity to dodge the sword if they were distracted just for a moment.
A ruthless light flashed across Gu Xiyanâs eyes. Since he couldnât avoid this attack, he might as well not dodge it. As an indigo radiance shone from his body, Gu Xiyan roared, âQilin Body!â
Gu Xiyanâs body began to swell under the indigo radiance that swept out from his body. His body began to swell under the indigo radiance with indigo scales appearing on his skin, emitting a metallic luster. His body was like divine iron, giving off a horrifying aura with purple runes spreading on his body.
When Lin Yunâs sword reached Gu Xiyanâs forehead, it was stopped by an invisible energy. Under the huge impact, lightning flashed and the Flower Burial Sword was knocked away.
âThe Qilin Body⦠isnât Gu Xiyanâs saint physique a little too terrifying?â Everyone was shocked when they saw this outside the Dragon Mountain. They initially thought that Ye Qingtian could turn the tables around, and the battle would come to an end. But who could have imagined that Gu Xiyanâs Qilin Saint Physique could manifest a Qilin. Gu Xiyan definitely refined some Qilin blood because his scales were too realistic.
At this moment, Gu Xiyan looked as though he had turned into a genuine Qilin, giving off a horrifying aura.
âIâll play with you since you want to play. But you better be serious or you might really dieâ¦â Gu Xiyan looked prideful as he looked at Lin Yun, and the indigo radiance shining on his face gave him an eerie temperament.
âHa!â Looking at Gu Xiyan. whose body had swelled, Lin Yun no longer suppressed the boiling Dragonâs Blood within his body. As thunderstorms roared, a terrifying dragonâs roar echoed with lightning flashing within Lin Yunâs eyes, accompanied by a massive dragon aura that swept out.
The Divine Physique was the taboo of this world. After all, the Azure Dragon Divine Physique was equivalent to grasping part of the Ancient Azure Dragonâs power. The surrounding space was heavily suppressed with Lin Yun in the center, and a visible indigo aura swept out, enveloping the entire Heavenly Dragon Stage.
The violent gale had formed into multiple vortexes around Lin Yun. Fluctuations began to spread out around the vortexes before forming into countless cracks. Lightning flashed on Lin Yunâs body as he soared to the sky and a massive downpour rained from the sky. As lightning began to flash on Lin Yunâs body, he released the Azure Dragon Divine Physique, unleashing a horrifying phenomenon.
Lin Yunâs body also began to swell up with dragon scales appearing on the surface of his body. As scales swiftly spread out, it gave Lin Yun an explosive power that made him feel like he could easily tear mountains apart with his hands.
Compared to Gu Xiyan, Lin Yunâs divine physique gave off a more powerful pressure. As a terrifying luster filled Lin Yunâs eyes, he grinned, âI initially wanted to play with you using an ordinary saint physique, only to receive your contempt. Since thatâs the case, I wonât act anymore. Mine isnât the Azure Dragon Saint Physique, but the Azure Dragon Divine Physique!â
âThen I will slay a dragon!â Gu Xiyan was surprised because he could sense that Lin Yunâs aura was much stronger than before.
âA decent mindset, but itâs a pityâ¦â Lin Yun looked at Gu Xiyan and stomped his foot on the ground. His body disappeared and reappeared before Gu Xiyan like he had teleported, before he threw his punch. Since Gu Xiyan liked to use his fist, he would play along with the latter then.
When he threw his punch, the air in front of him was compressed and exploded, causing space to distort. But Gu Xiyan was calm and didnât dodge the attack, and he even showed a hint of contempt in his eyes. He also threw a punch forth to face Lin Yunâs punch head-on.
When the two punches collided, a loud explosion echoed with the surrounding space shattered. Gu Xiyan took two steps back with a smile on his face before he dashed forth. The divine physique might be powerful, but Ye Qingtian was simply courting death to fight him barehanded as a swordsman.
Lin Yun was calm and composed with no intentions of recalling the Flower Burial Sword. Instead, he faced Gu Xiyan head-on barehandedly.
âCome again!â Fighting spirits blazed in Gu Xiyanâs eyes. It had been a long time since he had such a satisfying battle. He had been holding himself back whenever he fought those in the same generation because he couldnât unleash his full strength. After all, he might kill his opponent if he used his full strength, but he could have a satisfying battle now.
When two gigantic figures clashed, a terrifying shockwave swept out. This scene made everyone on the Dragon Mountain feel their scalps numb, and their hearts nearly exploded. They couldnât imagine how strong they were to create such a huge commotion when fighting barehanded.
âIsnât Ye Qingtian a little too arrogant? A swordsman like him actually managed to obtain a divine physique?!â Many cultivators outside the Dragon Mountain wore grave expressions because they knew how terrifying a divine physique was, even if it was acquired later on.
The Heavenly Dao Sectâs Thousand Plume Great Saint also wore a grave expression with unconcealable shock in his eyes. He couldnât believe that Ye Qingtian really managed to obtain a divine physique under the Dragon Origin Great Saintâs teachings. But it wouldnât be easy for Ye Qingtian to win this battle because a swordsman was ultimately a swordsman. Without his sword, it was hard for Ye Qingtian to defeat Gu Xiyan.
He already noticed that Gu Xiyan had executed a fist technique, the legendary Heavenly Dao Fist. If those without a strong fate tried to practice it, they would be courting death.
After another clash, Gu Xiyanâs punch landed on Lin Yunâs right shoulder and thunderflames began to corrode Lin Yunâs saint aura. When an explosion took place, cracks appeared on Lin Yunâs right shoulder bone.
After Lin Yun was sent flying away, he whipped a kick like a dragonâs tail and landed on Gu Xiyanâs chest. When his attack reached, blood splashed with the indigo radiance shattering.
Lin Yun turned around and hovered in the air. He had blood stains on his body and many of his dragon scales had shattered. But Gu Xiyanâs condition wasnât any better than him. They were both pretty heavily injured in their intense fight.
Many cultivators outside the Dragon Mountain were deeply shocked as they watched the fight. This was a battle between two cultivators who possessed top-tiered physiques. If it was someone else taking their attacks, they would probably be ripped into pieces on the spot.
Gu Xiyan wiped the blood off his lips and his eyes became crimson, filled with an ominous aura. When he raised his head to look at Ye Qingtian, the contempt had been reduced, replaced with a hint of admiration and respect. He said, âTo be able to force me this far after your sword technique failed, youâre not simple, Ye Qingtian!â
It had been a long time since he had such a satisfying battle, especially since Ye Qingtian chose to clash barehanded instead of using his sword.
Lin Yun took a deep breath and the Dragonâs Blood within his body began to boil to resolve the thunderflame that Gu Xiyan had left within his body. Gu Xiyan was a ruthless person. Lin Yun wasnât able to suppress him even after bringing out his Azure Dragon Divine Physique.
âBut itâs annoying when you pretend to be Flower Burial. Letâs end the battle quickly.â Gu Xiyan didnât want to drag the battle any longer because he was surprised to discover that the recovery speed of Lin Yunâs divine physique was stronger than his own.
In the next moment, terrifying lightning began to sweep out, instantly filling the entire region with the qilin aura, accompanied with murderous intent that began to accumulate in the heavens and earth, slowly fusing with heavenly dao.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became suffocating as the qilin aura seemed to be undergoing a transformation. As lightning flashed in Gu Xiyanâs eyes, he looked like a God of Thunder at this moment with him basking in lightning.
âThis is my final trump card. If you can withstand it, Iâll give up on the Heavenly Dragon Lordâs title,â Gu Xiyan grinned, and he roared, âKill!â
An ancient âkillâ word appeared in the sky that descended. When the word enveloped the Heavenly Dragon Stage, it had isolated the stage from the outside world.
âDragon Trapping Heavenly Dao!â Gu Xiyan clenched his fist, releasing a black radiance as his murderous intent began to accumulate in his fist. It sounded as if there was an entire army yelling âkillâ in unison as Gu Xiyanâs punch gathered the murderous intent of thousands of people. When Gu Xiyan threw his punch out, he unleashed a powerful punch of over a hundred feet that swiftly flew towards Lin Yun.
Seeing this punch, Lin Yunâs face became grave because he could sense that he was being isolated from the outside world and that the pressure given off by his divine aura was entirely suppressed. Gu Xiyanâs punch was weird because aside from containing murderous intent, it made his heart beat wildly with his soul trembling.
As Lin Yunâs thoughts processed, he began to form seals with his hands. When he formed the seven divine dragon seals, a seven-colored radiance shone as the Sovereign Dragon Seal was formed and blocked the incoming punch.
When Gu Xiyanâs punch landed on the Sovereign Dragon Seal, the seal shattered with a crack before Lin Yun was sent flying away with blood dripping down his lips. He was surprised because the power contained within Gu Xiyanâs punch seemed to be above the three thousand daos, giving him a feeling that there was no way he could face it head-on. He exclaimed, âHeavenly dao?â
âNot heavenly dao, but mimicking heavenly dao with qilin aura. Even so, itâs more than enough to deal with you, and this is just the beginning!â Gu Xiyan smiled because Ye Qingtian finally suffered a loss, so he threw another punch forth.
His murderous intent swept out with his punch forming into multiple ferocious Thunder Qilin. Not only did Gu Xiyanâs indigo saint aura contain qilin aura, but it was also empowered by two greater daos with a hint of a heavenly daoâs might.
This terrifying scene left many Saint Realm experts shocked because Gu Xiyan was a little too strong to mimic a heavenly daoâs might through qilin aura.
âQilinâs Rage!â Gu Xiyanâs hands joined together and a few hundred qilin descended from the sky so quickly that it made it impossible to dodge the incoming attacks.
