Chapter 316 The Fiery Dragon Devours the Heavens, the Vermilion Bird Annihilates the World, and the Law of Heaven and Earth Manifests

"This is insane!"
"He's really gone mad!"
"A mere Nascent Soul cultivator dares to challenge the might of a Void Transformation cultivator? Heh, this Emperor Xuan is far too arrogant."
"Yet, when he was at the Golden Core stage, he transformed the entire city's storm into a single sword strike, slaying an old monster at the Nascent Soul stage!"
"So what? This is the Void Realm, a terrifying being who has mastered the laws of order. In a single thought, mountains can crumble and the earth can split, the sun and moon can be overturned. If someone of this level were to unleash their power, I'm afraid none of us here would be enough to kill them. And he, Xiao Xuan, with only the Nascent Soul cultivation, dares to point his sword at the Void Realm? Isn't that just courting death?"
"That's true, but what if he wins?"
"Heh heh, I'll kneel down and kowtow three times and call him 'Father.'"
"What father? If he can withstand ten moves from that Blood Demon Island Lord, I'll call him my ancestor!"
“............”
When Xiao Xuan pointed his sword at the Blood Demon Island Lord, all the cultivators on the Blood Sea were in an uproar.
Some were amazed by Xiao Xuan's courage, while others felt that this Emperor Xuan was too arrogant and disdainful of others.
However—
Many people were curious about how things would end if the Xuan Emperor was defeated, and how to get that Void Realm senior to take action.
"Heh...ha...hahahaha..."
The Blood Demon Island Lord, who was always mysterious and unpredictable in the eyes of the world, was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter. He looked at Xiao Xuan with deep and vast eyes, as if trying to see through the young man in front of him to see why he was so arrogant.
But all he ever saw was the young emperor standing proudly, and the intense fighting spirit contained in his calm eyes.
At this moment, the Blood Demon Island Lord truly realized that the excessively young man before him was serious.
That's quite interesting.
With his divine transformation ability, he fought against the Void Realm. Was he truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, or was he just a newborn calf unafraid of tigers?
It is common knowledge that challenging those below the Void Realm is difficult, but not impossible. Some outstanding geniuses can do it, but fighting at a higher realm is almost impossible. However, in each era, there are still one or two peerless geniuses who can suppress the monstrous talents of that time.
However, that only applies to those below the Void Realm.
Because mastering the laws and not mastering the laws are two different things.
Even though he had only recently entered the Void Realm and was not yet proficient in the laws, he was still far beyond the reach of a Nascent Soul Realm expert.
"Your Majesty, are you not speaking recklessly?"
The Blood Demon Island Lord stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on Xiao Xuan's expression.
Xiao Xuan gripped his greatsword, his spiritual energy surging and coalescing into a golden dragon that coiled in the sky. His voice boomed:
"My word is my bond!"
"Island Lord Xie, if you can defeat me today, then I promise that the territory of my Vermilion Bird Dynasty will never again set foot in the Blood Sea. Furthermore, I am willing to leave behind this top-grade spiritual treasure in my possession."
"But if you fail to defeat me, then what about Island Master Xie?"
Xiao Xuan's expression was stern as he stared intently at the Blood Demon Island Master.
"good! "
"Truly, the younger generation is to be feared!"
"If you can truly defeat me today with your Nascent Soul power, then I will willingly submit and serve you from now on!"
Looking at the spirited figure on the chariot, the Blood Demon Island Lord couldn't help but feel a surge of pride himself.
He, the Lord of Blood Demon Island, an unparalleled demon, possessed strategies hundreds of times greater than cultivation. He was praised by the world as the "Embroidered Tiger of Heaven and Earth." He spent his entire life gambling, but he would not gamble unless he could win, and he would always win when he gambled. This was because he knew he would win before he even started gambling, and he would never gamble if he knew there was a chance of losing.
Today, although he believes the world is vast and full of wonders, he is still willing to accept the young man's bet.
It wasn't just because of the powerful figure at the third level of the Void Realm above his head, but also because of the Qiankun Embroidered Tiger, which naturally possessed a certain amount of spirit.
"Haha, great!"
Xiao Xuan laughed loudly, then consulted Wen Qing.
Although Wen Qing trusted his junior brother, he was still worried. However, when he met his junior brother's gaze, he nodded and agreed to his actions. Then he retreated dozens of miles and quietly floated in the void.
"Little Wen, is your junior brother really going to challenge that Void Realm demon with his Nascent Soul Realm cultivation?"
"Isn't that just courting death?"
The Netherworld White Tiger raised its adorable head, its amber eyes gazing at Wen Qing.
"I have complete confidence in my junior brother."
Wenqing gently stroked the little head of the Netherworld White Tiger.
"Xiao Wen, you don't actually think that a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator can defeat a Void Realm cultivator, do you?" The Netherworld White Tiger's eyes widened.
"I don't know."
Wen Qing shook her head, then said, "Xiao Bai, meow like a kitten twice."
"Hmph, Little Wen, I've told you a million times, I am the esteemed young prince of the Netherworld White Tiger clan."
The Netherworld White Tiger held its little head high, its two little paws on its hips, looking incredibly arrogant.
Then, in the next moment, his expression changed, and he began to shout loudly.
"Meow~ >▽< Meow meow meow meow meow meow~~~~"
Everyone present heard it and turned to look at it with curiosity.
So, is it a tiger or a cat?
"Yeah, Lao Zhao, didn't you say he was from the Netherworld White Tiger clan?"
"Uh... I don't know, maybe it's a mixed-breed ocelot."
"Oh—maybe."
Everyone suddenly realized.
However, the little tiger roared even more joyfully.
"Meow meow meow~, I'm a happy little kitten, Xiao Wen's most, most, most beloved little kitten~~~"
......
"Your Majesty, please!"
The area within thousands of miles of Blood Demon Island was completely cleared, and everyone consciously retreated, leaving a huge battlefield for the two of them.
At this moment, they no longer had any intention of taking advantage of the chaos or picking up bargains; all they wanted to do was watch and enjoy the show.
Being able to witness firsthand the actions of someone at the Void Realm is also of great benefit to them.
"Hahaha, then this emperor won't stand on ceremony."
Xiao Xuan laughed heartily.
At this moment, in that vast void, there were only two figures: Xiao Xuan and the Blood Demon Island Master. Even Xue Yueqing had ascended to the heavens, looking down below.
Boom!
Xiao Xuan is always decisive in his actions; once he decides to take action, he never hesitates.
Therefore, as soon as he finished speaking, he instantly leaped up from the chariot, causing the void to tremble. His secret power intertwined and evolved into five giant swords that reached the sky.
The giant swords hovered around him, reaching a length of over a hundred feet. Each of the giant swords was also wrapped with a golden dragon that breathed out raging flames.
The Nine Swords of Absolute Heaven is an eighth-order sword technique taught by Qin Shou. Xiao Xuan, being exceptionally talented, comprehended it to a high level even at the Nascent Soul stage, and can now manifest five giant swords.
In addition, Xiao Xuan also used the Nine Spirits Secret Technique, instantly increasing his combat power six or seven times.
At this moment, the terrifying pressure emanating from his body was enough to easily slay any Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Ninth level of Nascent Soul!"
"Xiao Xuan has already reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm!"
"How is this possible?!?"
"Didn't he just reach the Nascent Soul Realm sixty years ago?!?!"
"grass! "
"Someone fucking tell me what's going on? This son of a bitch, his luck is just too incredible!"
Everyone was alarmed as they watched Xiao Xuan's aura and pressure steadily increase.
They knew that this Emperor Xuan was exceptionally talented, but they never imagined that he had reached such a terrifying level!
A ninth-level Nascent Soul cultivator who's not even two hundred years old... that's just too terrifying!
"What a fine young man!"
"What a fine Emperor Xuan!"
At this moment, not only others, but even the Blood Demon Island Lord, looking at the overwhelming pressure emanating from the sky, couldn't help but feel a moment of shock.
What alarmed him was not the aura that Xiao Xuan was currently exuding, which was faintly beyond the realm of Nascent Soul, but his age.
Having entered the Void Realm and mastered a law, he could more easily discern the true age of this Xuan Emperor, which was perhaps less than 150 years old—a truly terrifying prospect.
Was he born to face calamity?
In that instant, the Blood Demon Island Lord's mind raced, and he thought of many things. In the end, his gaze softened, and he simply let out a cold snort.
"Hmph, I admit I underestimated Emperor Xuan before. But unfortunately, a Nascent Soul cultivator is still just a Nascent Soul cultivator. No matter how powerful you are now, you can't possibly defeat me."
The Blood Demon Island Lord was quite confident about this.
He had only heard of the Divine Transformation Technique to Slay the Void once, but that was the Empress, the number one talent and combat power recognized by the Tianxuan Continent for millions of years.
Anyone who knows about that empress would never believe that a genius like her would ever appear in later generations.
"Haha, whether we can win or not, we'll only know after the fight."
Xiao Xuan led a carefree and unrestrained life, but when facing enemies, he would put aside all contempt. No matter how strong or weak the enemy was, Xiao Xuan would take them seriously and do his best, never becoming someone who would be caught off guard and suffer a setback.
"Slay!"
With a cold rebuke from the young emperor, the entire sky darkened.
Only endless golden light and six towering sword energies descended majestically to the mortal realm. Wherever the sword energies passed, the sea of clouds boiled, the void trembled, and even the thousands of feet tall peaks on Blood Demon Island collapsed and were destroyed, turning into dust, under the ripples of the sword energy.
"So strong!"
The spectators suddenly widened their eyes.
They felt that this sword strike had already exceeded the scope of the Nascent Soul Realm.
However, it might not be enough to face the Blood Demon Island Master, who is at the Void Realm.
And indeed, this was the case. Although Xiao Xuan's sword energy was strong and his sword intent was intense, the Six Absolute Swords that could slay all cultivators within the Nascent Soul stage were blocked by the gray-robed island lord with a simple palm strike.
"Hehe, Your Majesty the Xuan Emperor, your sword intent is unparalleled, having actually reached the second level of sword intent—the realm of sword intent manifestation. Truly unparalleled. Unfortunately, if you only rely on this to deal with me, it is far from enough."
"drink! "
With a soft shout, the giant sword that had been flowing in the sky shattered.
The explosive sword energy transformed into a storm, sweeping across the area in an instant. Even though those people had already dodged far enough, many were still instantly affected, their golden bodies shattered, their bodies splattered with blood, and they staggered backward.
"This!!! Just the residual force of a collision has caused such injury to an old cultivator like myself at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm. This Xiao Xuan is truly terrifying!"
An elderly man with white hair murmured aloud.
The next moment, he transformed into a long rainbow and left this place of trouble without looking back.
No matter how exciting the battle, it's not as important as your own life.
"That Xiao Xuan! That scoundrel, it seems I really have to go back to the Vermilion Bird Dynasty with him and become some kind of guardian spirit."
A burly man spat, feeling quite uncomfortable.
He's always been a playboy, making fun of others, but ever since he met Xiao Xuan, this freak, he's ended up making fun of his own brothers to amuse others. It's truly despicable.
"Brother, why don't we sneak away while Xiao Xuan is distracted right now?"
His henchman reminded him.
"You think you can just run away like that? You know what kind of scoundrel he is. If I run now and he catches me later, he might just grab a spiked club and make me toy with my brother myself."
"Sigh, brother, following you has been such bad luck!"
"Say that again, you fucking idiot?"
"My mom doesn't want to talk about it anymore."
"Holy crap, you guys have gone too far!"
*Crackling sounds*
......
"If this is all the power Your Majesty the Emperor possesses, you should perhaps retreat sooner rather than later."
"Haha, Island Lord Xie, what's the rush? This is just the beginning. I'll be there to favor you now."
Phew!
A loud phoenix cry suddenly rang out.
The Vermilion Bird, a divine bird that blots out the sky, is enveloped in endless golden flames. It spreads its wings in the heavens, and in an instant, the entire sky above the sea of blood is covered by that invincible divine fire.
"Vermilion Bird Divine Fire!"
The Blood Demon Island Lord was shocked; this was a flame said to be able to incinerate even gods!
"The Fiery Dragon devours the heavens, the Vermilion Bird annihilates the world! Thank you, Island Lord! Please accept another strike from this Emperor!"
Rumble!
At that moment, the sky collapsed, the void crumbled, and the blood-red clouds stretching for thousands of miles were completely swept away by the sword energy that filled the universe. The entire sky was transformed into a golden sea of fire.
In that sea of fire, the young emperor, his robes billowing, descended from the sky, accompanied by a fiery dragon and a vermilion bird. His speed was like that of a meteor falling to earth. In an instant, the entire atmosphere was exploding and burning. His magnificent and awe-inspiring appearance was too dazzling to behold.
"this........ "
Everyone went mad.
They didn't believe that was the power that a Nascent Soul cultivator could unleash.
At this moment, in their eyes, it was clearly a young deity descended from the realm of gods!
"Boundless obliteration!"
Upon seeing this, the Blood Demon Island Lord was somewhat amazed and surprised, but remained as steady as Mount Tai. With the opening and closing of his palms, a huge black millstone was formed.
The millstone spun, and endless demonic energy surged, hovering majestically in mid-air, resisting Xiao Xuan's unparalleled power.
boom!
First, a collision sound rang out between heaven and earth, and then everything seemed to fall into a moment of silence.
As far as the eye could see, the sky was covered in raging flames, with endless sword energy and demonic energy churning, colliding, and exploding, then churning again, colliding again, and exploding again...
They shone brightly in an instant, and bloomed in an instant, as if the most beautiful and fantastical colors in the world were blooming in the process of destruction and rebirth, which was extremely shocking.
Boom!
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
After a brief silence, a series of deafening explosions erupted.
Sword energy and demonic energy shattered and scattered, sweeping up towering waves thousands of feet high above the sea of blood.
Xiao Xuan stood atop the sea of blood, amidst the giant waves, his gaze fixed intently on the imposing gray-clad figure, his fighting spirit soaring.
"The power of the Void Piercing Realm is unfathomable, even to ghosts and gods; truly fascinating!"
"Today, I, the Emperor, am ready for a thorough and satisfying battle!"
Xiao Xuan laughed loudly and, without wasting any words, raised the Flaming Dragon Devouring Heaven Sword in his hand and launched another fierce attack.
After the first two brief exchanges, both sides seemed to have gained some confidence, and the ensuing battle truly became a brutal, bloody affair.
The Blood Demon Island Lord's advantage lies in his high level of cultivation, and his techniques and methods are unpredictable.
Xiao Xuan's advantage lies in his unparalleled combat strength within the same realm, his peerless bloodline, and the top-tier cultivation techniques, supernatural abilities, and secret arts he possesses. Therefore, even now, when facing a Void Realm cultivator who has mastered the laws of order, he is not at a disadvantage.
These things appear especially terrifying to the general public!
"He, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, can actually contend with a Void Realm cultivator?!"
Everyone was amazed.
At this moment, they seemed to truly realize just how terrifying this young emperor, hailed as the number one genius of Yunzhou, really was!
If such figures were to grow up, they would be able to establish their own sects and religions in the Central Plains, some thought to themselves.
Click!
The void shattered, and a figure was sent flying, the sound of blood and bones breaking echoing.
However, that figure seemed fearless, growing stronger and more ferocious with each battle.
In the end, the burning divine blood transformed into a fist powerful enough to crush everything, and slammed into the Blood Demon Island Lord's domain with a thunderous roar.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, a crack appeared in the domain formed by the interwoven laws.
Countless golden flames burned fiercely along the crack, causing even the Blood Demon Island Lord to frown in astonishment.
"Good job, young man!"
The Blood Demon Island Lord roared, "Today, I will show you the full power of the Void Realm!"
The words were spoken.
The laws around the Blood Demon Island Lord intertwined, accompanied by endless gray mist surging, and a majestic gray Dharma body suddenly stood above the sea of clouds.
The Dharma Body was majestic and imposing, radiating endless demonic energy and unparalleled pressure. With a casual palm strike, it shattered and distorted the surrounding space.
Caught completely off guard, Xiao Xuan was sent flying by a palm strike, blood gushing from his chest, his clothes ripped apart, and on his bare upper body, muscles bulged, a vermilion bird pattern slowly emerging, lifelike.
"Hahaha, thank you, Island Lord. You possess the Void Transformation Body, and I, the Emperor, also possess the Heavenly Manifestation Body!"
Xiao Xuan laughed wildly and immediately unleashed the Law of Heaven and Earth.
The next moment, a magnificent golden statue, thousands of feet tall, suddenly stood above the sea of blood. The golden statue was majestic and was also burning with a layer of golden flames, making it appear sacred and solemn.
