The greatest saint of all time!

Chapter 80 The Road to Soul Refining

"die!"

Lu Xuan let out a loud shout.

The Heaven-Devouring Sword, carrying immense power, slashed down without hesitation.

"clang!"

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out.

The disciple with the double hooks felt an immense, unmatched force surge into his body through his arms.

The pair of fine steel hooks in his hand shattered into pieces.

The Heaven-Devouring Sword moved with unstoppable force, easily slicing through his protective spiritual energy.

The sharp blade slashed diagonally down along the shoulder.

"what!"

The piercing screams had barely begun when they abruptly ceased.

The disciple had been split vertically in two.

Crimson blood, mixed with shattered internal organs, flowed all over the ground.

"Third brother!"

Cheng Yifeng's eyes were bloodshot, and the blood-stained knife in his hand trembled violently with extreme anger.

"You little beast, I'll tear you to pieces!"

With a roar, his blood energy ignited, and he was willing to expend his own life force to unleash the forbidden sword technique of the Blood Blade Sect!

Blood Demon World Destroyer Slash!

Suddenly, a blood-red blade of light, ten feet long, condensed in the air.

He slashed down directly at Lu Xuan.

This strike was incredibly powerful, completely sealing off Lu Xuan's escape route. In fact, the entire space was firmly locked down by the terrifying sword intent.

At the same time, a ruthless glint flashed in the eyes of the disciple wielding the long whip.

The long whip in her hand transformed into a nimble, venomous python, which coiled around Lu Xuan's legs.

This move was extremely insidious, designed to prevent Lu Xuan from dodging or moving.

Upon seeing this, Cheng Yifeng revealed a sinister smile.

"Go to hell!"

He could almost see Lu Xuan's miserable end, being cleaved in two by his own blade.

However, facing this seemingly inescapable predicament, Lu Xuan's eyes remained cold, showing no sign of panic.

"Want to fight to the death? Then let's see who's tougher!"

Lu Xuan took a deep breath.

The dormant Primordial Pearl within his body began to tremble slightly, and a powerful surge of chaotic energy flowed into the Devouring Heaven Sword.

The eerie light on the sword suddenly surged, becoming so intense that it seemed to devour even the surrounding light.

"Devouring Heaven Sword Technique, Annihilation!"

Instead of retreating, Lu Xuan advanced, his long sword thrusting upwards against the tide.

He actually met the descending, terrifying crimson blade light head-on with a fierce counter-slash.

"boom!"

The jet-black sword energy collided with the blood-red blade light in mid-air.

A terrifying energy storm swept outwards.

The already dilapidated palaces were completely razed to the ground by this impact.

The long whip that was wrapped around Lu Xuan's legs also broke into pieces under the enormous impact.

The disciple who wielded the whip was particularly severely affected.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward.

At the very center of the explosion, the two figures were locked in a stalemate.

Cheng Yifeng's eyes were bloodshot, and his hands gripped the knife hilt tightly.

His spiritual power surged out like a river bursting its banks, attempting to completely crush Lu Xuan.

But no matter how hard he tried, the seemingly thin black longsword on the other side remained completely still.

This sword...

As steady as Mount Tai, like a pillar stabilizing the sea.

"How is that possible?"

"You're clearly only at the first level of the Soul Platform!"

A storm raged in Cheng Yifeng's heart.

At this moment, he had essentially burned his very essence.

Logically speaking, this strike should be enough to severely injure a half-step Heavenly Origin Realm expert, and even a true Heavenly Origin Realm expert would have to temporarily evade it.

Why is this kid able to withstand it?

Lu Xuan smiled slightly, his eyes filled with contempt.

"First level of the Soul Platform Realm?"

"Level of cultivation has never represented absolute strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Chaos Devouring Heaven Scripture within his body suddenly began to operate.

Then, an extremely terrifying devouring power emanated from the Devouring Heaven Sword.

This power actually began to absorb and plunder the spiritual energy contained in Cheng Yifeng's sword!

"What?!"

Cheng Yifeng felt his spiritual energy rapidly draining away.

His once incredibly sharp blade light began to dim at a visible speed.

"Break for me!"

Lu Xuan let out a low shout, and his arm holding the sword suddenly jerked.

"Snap!"

The blood-red blade, a high-grade spiritual weapon, in Cheng Yifeng's hand actually cracked under the sharpness of the Devouring Heaven Sword.

Then, with a crisp sound, it exploded!

"puff!"

Cheng Yifeng was struck as if by lightning; his chest caved in, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground. His fate was unknown.

"Senior Brother!"

Upon seeing this, the severely injured whip-wielding disciple was terrified and lost all will to fight, turning and fleeing.

"Are you able to leave?"

Lu Xuan snorted coldly, and the Devouring Heaven Sword flew out of his hand, transforming into a black streak of light.

"Pfft!"

The longsword pierced the disciple's back, pinning him to the ground.

Thus, all three experts at the late or even peak stage of the Soul Platform Realm perished.

Lu Xuan slowly sheathed his longsword.

Without even glancing at the corpses on the ground, he turned and looked at the battlefield on the other side.

At that moment, Su Qinghuan also pierced her opponent's throat with a sword.

She drew her longsword, slightly out of breath.

The look in their eyes as they gazed at Lu Xuan was filled with shock.

One against three, a counterattack against a high-ranking opponent.

Not only did they win, they won so decisively and cleanly.

What kind of monster is this guy?

"Let's go in and take a look."

Lu Xuan casually reached out and took the storage bags of the group into his hand.

His gaze then fell upon the dark hall.

Su Qinghuan nodded, swallowed a pill to regulate her breathing, and quickly followed.

The two passed through the shattered array of light and entered the main hall.

As soon as you enter, a chilling, bone-deep coldness hits you.

The interior of the main hall is very spacious, with twelve huge stone pillars standing around it.

Each pillar is carved with a ferocious demon statue, so lifelike that it seems ready to come to life and devour people at any moment.

In the very center of the main hall, a black stone platform floats.

An antique jade box sits quietly on the stone platform.

It emitted a faint, dim light, which stood out brightly in the dimly lit hall.

"What is that?"

Su Qinghuan's beautiful eyes lit up, and her breathing became a little rapid.

Even from a great distance, she could feel the extremely pure spiritual energy emanating from the jade box.

Lu Xuan reached out and stopped Su Qinghuan, who was about to step forward.

"Don't move."

Then, he frowned slightly and stared at the ground.

Su Qinghuan was taken aback.

"What's wrong?"

"Look at the ground."

As Lu Xuan spoke, he pointed to the ground.

Su Qinghuan looked in the direction Lu Xuan pointed and saw that countless fine lines were faintly engraved on the flat ground.

These patterns extend all the way to the base of the central stone platform.

Without careful observation, it's impossible to spot the clues.

Su Qinghuan was suddenly startled.

"Is it an array pattern?"

Lu Xuan squatted down and gently touched the edge of the pattern with his fingertips.

Noisy!

A wisp of black smoke rose, and a burning sensation came from my fingertips.

"This is not just an ordinary array pattern, but... the Soul Refining Path of an ancient demonic sect."

As he spoke, Lu Xuan's expression became extremely solemn.

"The seemingly ordinary ground is actually fraught with danger at every step. If you take the wrong step, you will be burned by the earth fire, and even your soul will be extracted by the great formation and refined into nourishment."
