Void Storm

Chapter 259 Void Storm
Devouring the superior Dao artifact of the Great Dao—the Primordial Chaos Pearl.

The Flowing Void Sword is a superior Dao artifact of the Void Dao.

These are two superior Dao artifacts that Li Xian obtained when he went to the Ancient Burial Ground of Immortals after he forged his Golden Elixir.

Despite having acquired these two superior Dao artifacts early on, Li Xian has never used them over the years.

Firstly...

He felt that relying on external things was not conducive to the growth of strength, nor to a deeper understanding of his own shortcomings.

Secondly...

Since he obtained these two Dao artifacts, no one has ever forced him to use both of them at the same time.

Even today, this Demon Lord Rahu...

He did it.

The Purple Cloud Dao Palace is so powerful that even a fully-developed Void Dao Body cannot compare to it!
And the destructive power that can utterly destroy the Great Chaos Technique, the Great Devouring Technique, and the Primordial Floating Dawn True Body!

The absolute advantage formed by the combination of the two easily overwhelmed all his means, forcing him to use these two superior Dao artifacts to fight against his Zixiao Dao Palace and the Spear of Godslaying.

Li Xian held his sword level, pointing it directly at the Demon Lord Rahu.

"Again!"

"Ridiculous! You think you can beat me like this?"

Rahu, the Demon Lord, sneered.

Before the laughter had completely subsided, he burst forth like a black streak of light.

Amidst the streaks of light, the Purple Cloud Palace, used to suppress the void, was driven forward by his divine sense, slowly advancing like Mount Tai pressing down, enveloping the battlefield where the two belonged, as if forming an absolute domain here.

However, as Li Xian took the Flowing Void Sword, the power of the void became clearer than ever before in his perception.

With this clarity, as he continued to delve deeper and layer upon layer, he seemed capable of wielding the power of a Dao artifact to unleash a void storm.

Just like now, although he couldn't stir up a void storm, the Flowing Void Sword in his hand carried a sharpness that seemed to be able to tear the void apart. He almost ignored the void suppression of the Purple Cloud Palace and fiercely confronted the God-Slaying Spear that the Demon Lord Rahu had thrust at him.

The two supreme techniques, the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi and the Heavenly Punishment World-Destroying Spear, collided under the influence of a superior Dao artifact.

In an instant, the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi was shattered by the Heavenly Punishment World-Destroying Spear.

but……

In addition to the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi, Li Xian also possesses the Primordial Floating Dawn True Body.

After the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi was dispersed, the dark golden giant sword phantom manifested by the Hunyuan Fuli True Body was attached to the Liuxu Sword, and collided head-on with the Heavenly Punishment World-Destroying Spear, whose flames were slightly dimmed.

The dark gold light and black flames exploded simultaneously, and the ripples in the void that spread outwards were also shaken.

However, the space in this area had become more stable than ever before under the suppression of the Zixiao Dao Palace. The destructive torrent that should have burst forth in all directions and leveled the dozens of miles of the Daluo Immortal Sect's territory had only spread for a few hundred meters before it returned to nothingness under the suppression of the Dao Palace.

After one round of clashes, the Spear of Godslaying was no longer able to pose any threat to Li Xian's Primordial Chaos True Body.

And Li Xian's Flowing Void Sword...

Even with the boost from the Primordial Chaos True Body, it was powerless to continue after shattering the Heavenly Punishment World-Destroying Spear.

The true form of Hunyuan Fuli is ultimately primarily defensive.

Although it possesses a certain killing power after changing its form, it is clearly inferior to supreme techniques like the Heavenly Punishment World-Destroying Spear, which are dedicated to killing.

However, when the Spear of Godslaying was blocked, the Demon Lord Rahu's expression changed slightly.

The next moment, his figure suddenly changed, and three afterimages appeared.

Three illusory figures attacked simultaneously from three directions, each wielding the Heavenly Punishment World-Destroying Spear, and each figure looked remarkably real...

"No! It's not just like the real thing, all three attacks were real!"

At best, the attacks of two of the figures could not be amplified by the superior Dao artifact, the Spear of Godslaying.

Li Xian's spirit is concise and focused.

As the three figures attacked, he suddenly thrust out the Flowing Void Sword in his hand, displaying exquisite void techniques from the tip of his sword.

The space centered on him seemed to be divided into three planes.

The three planes divided Rahu's three avatars into three battlefields.

After selecting one of the battlefields, Li Xian unleashed a powerful Chaos Technique, instantly shattering the "Luo Hou Demon Lord's" offensive.

Without the Spear of Godslaying and after its power was divided into three, the power of the Heavenly Punishment World-Destroying Spear was greatly reduced, and it could no longer perfectly block the disintegration and dissolution of the Great Chaos Technique. The black flames contained in the spear were directly transformed into chaotic energy by the Great Chaos Technique, and then absorbed by the devouring power transformed from the Primordial Pearl...

This avatar was quickly devoured by the Chaos Pearl.

At this moment, the other two figures had already used the power of the Zixiao Dao Palace to shatter the two separated spaces.

The destructive power contained in the Spear of Godslayer spread rampantly, accompanied by a force that seemed to make every cell in his body tremble.

This force interfered with his life instincts, making him desperate to get away from these deadly dangers as quickly as possible.

This is a magical technique similar to the Great Fear Technique, derived from the Great Dao of Destruction!
The source of fear!
However, Li Xian had condensed his spirit to the extreme, as if his thoughts, consciousness, and cognition had been stripped away from his emotions and desires.

At this moment, he only had eyes for this powerful opponent.

Fear, trembling, and even the dread of facing destruction—a fear stemming from the very instinct of life—did not disturb him in the slightest.

There was no panic!

No fear!

Face destruction!

Heading towards death!

Then... defeat him! Surpass him!
"Candlelight!"

The instant the two clones attacked, Li Xian's mental will had already broken through the source of fear, a magical technique. A black sun burned and collapsed above him, transforming into an absolutely profound dark particle that distorted space and interfered with time.

The two spears, which were originally incredibly fast and seemed capable of crushing his true form with overwhelming force, slowed down as if they were in slow motion.

As the power of the Great Chaos Technique and the Primordial Pearl was activated once again, one of the avatars began to distort and become indistinct.

"Buzz!"

The powerful divine sense, squeezed out by the forbidden technique, erupted once more, stirring up a violent wave of divine sense that ruthlessly broke through the sword intent of the Candlelight Divine Power.

As the spear charged forward, the dark golden light of Hunyuan Fuli's true form rapidly dissipated.

but……

enough!

Just as the Spear of Godslaying pierced through the true form of Hunyuan Fuli once again, the Flowing Void Sword in Li Xian's hand had already slammed out.

With the assistance of this superior Dao artifact, the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi stirred up faint cracks in the void and slashed towards the spear.

Under the calamity-inducing power that could tear the void apart, the black flames contained in the Spear of Godslayer seemed to be extinguished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The terrifying rift, capable of annihilating the entire concept of "existence," continued its relentless assault on the superior artifact, the Spear of Godslaying, tearing apart all the magical power and divine consciousness contained within it...

In particular, some of their divine consciousnesses, after being swept away by the void rift, seemed to be directly thrown into another dimension, forever stripped from the mind of the Demon Lord Rahu.

Although the number was small, his face turned pale because he could only activate two supreme treasures at the same time by unleashing forbidden techniques and withstand the sword intent divine power.

"Unbelievable..."

After the void rift created by the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi completely extinguished the destructive power unleashed by the Heavenly Punishment World-Destroying Spear, its remaining momentum continued to sweep towards the body of the Demon Lord Rahu.

The demon lord, who roamed the Western Continent, brandished his spear, his divine sense surging. Another ripple that suppressed the void within the Purple Cloud Palace was drawn away, easily smoothing out the sweeping void rift.

However, after smoothing out the void rift, the Demon Lord Rahu appeared incredibly decisive.

He retreated rapidly, widening the distance between them.

"Li Xian, your strength truly exceeds my expectations! The world has underestimated you!"

The next moment, a talisman appeared in his hand.

The Talisman of Vanishing Without a Trace!
He had realized that he couldn't kill Li Xian in a short time.

Even compared to him, the Ten-Scar Heavenly Lord, whose physical body was already capable of undergoing tribulation, the opponent's strength was not inferior.

Of course, the key point is...

Li Xian unleashed the Flowing Void Sword, and relying on his own understanding of the Great Dao of Void, he stirred up a faint void rift, cleaving through the domain suppression of the Purple Cloud Dao Palace.

Suppressing the scattered...

Even if they don't part ways, the fact that two top experts are fighting with all their might in the Boundless Immortal Dynasty is enough to alarm all the great immortals within the dynasty.

Before a breath had passed, the auras of powerful immortals had already manifested, soaring straight into the sky.

At that time, he was thinking of finishing off Li Xian in one fell swoop, so he did not leave immediately.

But now, things are beyond saving...

Even the Boundless Calamity Wave Array in the capital of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty has been activated, so he can no longer delay.

"Li Xian, in four months, the Immortal Realm will open, and we will settle our score once more!"

As soon as the Demon Lord Luo Hou finished speaking, he suddenly activated the Zixiao Dao Palace, unleashing a ripple effect that spread wildly.

Our battle is not over yet!

Li Xian suddenly stepped forward and slashed out with his sword, the resulting ripples in the void almost freezing the space itself.

but……

The power erupting from the Purple Cloud Palace continued to impact and quickly shattered the stagnant power of the void.

Taking this opportunity, Demon Lord Rahu retrieved the Dao Palace, the talisman that allowed him to freely traverse the Boundless Calamity Wave Array, and the Myriad Miles Without a Trace Talisman, and used them simultaneously.

Make a decisive decision!

All in one go!
Ripples spread through the space, and this powerful demonic lord who roamed the Western Continent vanished from Li Xian's perception range without leaving any trace in this area.

"I told you, our battle is not over yet!"

A gleam of light appeared in Li Xian's eyes.

At this moment, his mind and thoughts collided fiercely, and countless Daoist principles flashed in his mind, bursting forth with myriad rays of spiritual light.

When the Zixiao Dao Palace was activated time and time again, there was a mysterious Dao charm that exceeded the limits of his cognition. There was also the causal supernatural power that he had obtained from Lingxu several years ago, but had never been able to grasp. It was the Primordial Technique!

But at this moment, in this special state of intense collision of spiritual consciousness and sparks of inspiration, he seemed to sense something.

There is no such thing as a fleeting moment.

If you sensed it, you sensed it.

What you see is what you understand!
The moment he sensed something, it was swiftly and precisely inscribed and captured by Li Xian…

Suddenly... he saw it clearly!
cause and effect!

It wasn't a karmic connection between him and the Demon Lord Rahu, but rather...

His karmic connection with the Zixiao Dao Palace!

Or rather, the cause and effect between Zixiao Dao Palace and all those who possess destiny!

The "Ten Thousand Miles Without a Trace" spell erases all traces of the void, and can even dissipate any tracking spells that may have been planted on the body when it breaks through space.

But even the most skillful "Ten Thousand Miles Without a Trace" cannot sever the cause and effect.

And relying on the primordial technique to intuitively grasp this thread of cause and effect, Li Xian suddenly looked up...

Without the slightest hesitation, he slashed forward with the Flowing Void Sword in his hand.

Teleportation!

Void Sword Escape!

In an instant, his figure had already darted out of this area and disappeared.

Only now did the Golden Core and Spirit Refining experts stationed at the Great Luo Immortal Sect's headquarters and in other surrounding embassy districts finally awaken.

"The Purple Cloud Palace!" That palace, radiating endless mystery, that signature power of void suppression...

What else could it be but the Purple Cloud Palace?!

And the Purple Cloud Palace...

"It's Rahu, the Demon Lord! The most powerful Supreme Heavenly Lord in the modern history of the Demonic Path, who roamed the Western Continent with unparalleled might, and who repeatedly escaped death from the encirclement and killing by powerful beings in the Immortal Realm!"

"The Demon Lord Rahu actually attempted to assassinate True Lord Li Xian?!"

"How is this possible? This is the capital of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty! A region covered by the Boundless Calamity Wave Immortal Array! Where did Demon Lord Rahu get the audacity to show himself here and even assassinate the peerless True Immortal seed of the Great Luo Immortal Sect?! Has he gone mad?!"

"It's over! The unparalleled True Immortal seed of the Great Luo Immortal Sect was actually assassinated by the Demon Lord Rahu, and this tragedy happened in our Boundless Immortal Dynasty! The Great Luo Immortal Sect will never let this go! It's all over now!"

A series of auras emerged, heading at full speed towards the embassy area of ​​the Great Luo Immortal Sect.

However, unlike the cultivators who were farther away who mistakenly believed that the Demon Lord Rahu had made a move and that Li Xian was doomed, the other major sects around the Great Luo Immortal Sect's base saw what had just happened more clearly.

"The attacker was indeed the Demon Lord Rahu. His methods of suppressing the void and destroying all things are unparalleled! But... Li Xian doesn't seem to be dead!?"

Jie Qianchou's expression was full of doubt.

His perception clashed sharply with reality.

"The elders saw it too? Although we can't understand how Li Xian managed to evade the assassination attempt by Demon Lord Rahu, he certainly didn't die, and it seems... he escaped? Demon Lord Rahu relentlessly pursued him?"

As Guan Canghai spoke, his tone was a mixture of shock and uncertainty.

"I have a feeling that it was Demon Lord Rahu who escaped first, and Li Xian followed closely in pursuit?"

Song Xuanyan whispered from not far away.

His words were immediately rejected by Tantai Yue.

"How could that be! You're not trying to tell me that Li Xian is stronger than Demon Lord Luo Hou, are you? He didn't even have a clear advantage in his duel with Leng Xing Shu. Against Demon Lord Luo Hou, just surviving would be the limit. How could he dare to actively pursue and kill him?"

Amidst the bewildering speculations in the embassy district, at the Great Luo Immortal Sect's embassy, ​​True Person Dongming soared into the sky.

"Yunwanshan!"

His voice was filled with shock and anger, and his powerful divine sense directly questioned the celestial being who was rushing over at top speed: "How could the Demon Lord Luo Hou escape the encirclement of the Boundless Calamity Wave Formation when he made his move? Your Yun family must give us an explanation!"

As he questioned, it seemed that some kind of formation in the Great Luo Immortal Sect's embassy was activated, and a terrifying power was brewing, seemingly trying to break through the blockade of the Boundless Calamity Wave Formation and forcefully descend.

……

The capital of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty was thrown into chaos by the assassination attempt by the Demon Lord Rahu.

On the other side, Li Xian relied on the pull of cause and effect to traverse the void with the Flowing Void Sword. With a Void Sword Escape, he appeared directly tens of thousands of miles away.

but……

The Demon Lord Rahu left too decisively!

The use of the three "Ten Thousand Miles Without a Trace" talismans was carried out without any delay, and there was no talk of saving or being reluctant to use them.

Li Xian, who had caught up, didn't even notice his back before the demon lord disappeared again, forcing Li Xian to break through the air and pursue him once more.

Three times in a row, the two appeared one after the other, appearing in the blink of an eye 30,000 miles away, far away from the capital of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.

After using the three Vanishing Talismans, the Demon Lord Rahu's expression turned cold. He suddenly rolled up his illusory cloak and headed straight for the mountains below.

Almost at the same time he rushed towards the mountains below, Li Xian's figure had already followed closely in pursuit.

"Escape!? I gave you permission to escape!?"

Driven by cause and effect, he completely ignored the ninth-realm magic treasure and the extremely powerful concealment ability of the Demon Lord Rahu. With a single sword strike, the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi tore through the sky, pouring down like a rain of swords towards the Demon Lord Rahu.

"Li Xian!?"

Seeing the figure catching up, Demon Lord Rahu was shocked by Li Xian's extraordinary abilities to see through the trail of the Thousand-Mile Vanishing Talisman, but also felt a hint of surprise.

"You choose the path to heaven but refuse to take it, you barge into the gates of hell! You're rushing to your death, so I'll grant your wish!"

With a sudden wave of his hand, the God-Slaying Spear was once again firmly in his grasp. At the same time, he raised his left hand high, and the Purple Cloud Palace was summoned again.

However, unlike before, this time when he summoned the Purple Cloud Palace again, he clearly felt a sense of "heaviness".

The Zixiao Dao Palace is of a very high grade.

Although he only mobilized a very small portion of the power of the Purple Cloud Dao Palace, even this small portion of its power was more profound than any superior-grade void artifact.

Under the suppression of the void, not to mention those at the Dao Realm, even some powerful beings at the Immortal Realm will be greatly affected.

This is also why he was able to escape with his life time and time again from the pursuit of powerful beings in the celestial realm when he was in Xizhou.

but……

The Purple Cloud Dao Palace is of astonishing quality and has endless wonders, but it also places an astonishing burden on one's divine sense.

Especially since he himself does not possess a spacetime Dao body.

Even if he had refined his divine sense to the extreme and perfected his spear intent, it would still be quite difficult for him to activate this Dao Palace and make it display its divine power without using the secret technique of divine sense burst.

but……

Although it will be difficult, holding out until Li Xian is killed is not out of the question.

"town!"

As the Taoist palace was reactivated, the space where Li Xian was located once again became "viscous" like never before.

He is like an ordinary person who can dive hundreds of meters into the ocean without any equipment.

Even the slightest movement feels like it's about to be crushed.

"Is this all the tricks you have up your sleeve?"

Li Xian immediately activated his Hunyuan Fuli True Body, raising the Liuxu Sword high into the sky and slashing out, as if tearing a chasm in this void domain.

A fully developed Void Dao Body is in no way inferior to a Human Immortal or even an Earth Immortal.

With just one more step, one can merge with the Dao and even attain the status of a true immortal.

With the added amplification from the perfectly compatible Flowing Void Sword, the Purple Cloud Dao Palace could no longer suppress him.

After carving out a chasm in the domain, Li Xian's figure rushed directly in front of the Demon Lord Rahu.

The Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi erupted.

Just like the Demon Lord Rahu, he countered the Heavenly Punishment World-Destroying Spear with the God-Slaying Spear!

However, at the very moment the two were about to collide, the black sun appeared.

Sword Intent Divine Power - Candlelight!
The spacetime distortion brought about by the candlelight sword intent, one step ahead of the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi, slashed towards the spiritual world of this Demonic Heavenly Monarch!
"Even if you possess sword intent and supernatural powers, how could you possibly harm me!?"

Having experienced this before, the Demon Lord Rahu immediately unleashed his divine sense, drawing upon the power of the Purple Cloud Palace. Once again, a series of Daoist chants emanated from this supreme treasure.

The spatial and temporal confusion and cognitive dissonance caused by the candlelight sword intent were quickly annihilated under the impact of this Daoist rhythm.

During the annihilation process, the Daoist aura pressed down on Li Xian's spiritual world with such force that it felt as if he were being attacked by the backlash of sword intent, and his entire spiritual world seemed about to collapse.

"My fighting spirit will never die! You cannot crush me!"

Li Xian let out a long roar, his will and beliefs resounding, and his spiritual world collapsing.

However, as long as this collapse and shattering does not occur instantaneously, it can always recover towards the pre-recorded state of its peak.

"Great Luo Limitless!"

As the Demon Lord Rahu distracted himself and activated the Purple Cloud Palace to counter the Candlelight Sword Intent, the Daoist Rhyme on the Flowing Void Sword was fully activated, and the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi trembled violently, as if it were stirring up a weak void storm!

Even though it was just a single cluster, the terrifying power of the void storm, capable of annihilating everything, still swept towards Rahu's God-Slaying Spear at this crucial moment.

"break!"

With a low shout from Li Xian, the Daoist rhyme and magical fluctuations contained in the Spear of Godslaying were completely torn apart by the storm power stirred up by the Great Luo Limitless Sword Qi!

During the intense confrontation, the superior Dao artifact, the Spear of Godslaying, was also heavily struck by the Flowing Void Sword!
"clang!"

As the metal clashed, the void surrounding the artifact shattered once more like a mirror, unleashing a destructive force powerful enough to annihilate everything, which then spread rampantly from the broken void.

However, despite the terrifying aftershocks, Li Xian's forward momentum did not falter in the slightest; instead, he plunged into the terrifying aftershocks.

The destructive power continued to erode and dissolve the true form of Hunyuan Fuli, almost destroying this supreme spell.

However, Li Xian withstood this destructive power and brought the profound mysteries of the Void Dao Body to their limit.

His gaze followed the path of the void he had reached when comprehending the spirit of the void, and with the Flowing Void Sword, a superior Dao artifact, he unleashed the power that only a perfected Void Dao Body could master.

A true void storm of power was formed in the destructive torrent created by the head-on collision of the two superior Dao artifacts.

With a mighty force, a single sword strike can decide the fate of the world!

"This power..."

The Demon Lord Luo Hou, who had just triggered the Zixiao Dao Palace to defeat Li Xianjian's divine power, was shocked, and an unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart.

Void Storm!?
This power is definitely not something that belongs to the Dao Realm!

Li Xian has actually pushed the power of the void to this extent!?
For a moment, this invincible demonic lord, who had roamed the Western Continent, even felt a pang of regret. Had he known that Li Xian possessed such supernatural powers, he should not have set his sights on him.

However, this thought only lasted for a moment before he forcibly suppressed it.

Once a move is made, there's no going back.

Now that things have come to this, the only option is to fight to the death!
Throughout his life, Rahu was a force to be reckoned with, and he was by no means inferior to anyone in his time!
"town!"

He once again activated his divine sense, intending to draw upon even stronger spatial and temporal power from the Zixiao Dao Palace to forcefully suppress this already formed void storm.

However, at that moment, a thunderous roar resounded throughout the spiritual world of the Demon Lord Rahu.

Amidst this terrifying roar, an unprecedented weakness and stinging sensation suddenly erupted from the depths of my spiritual world.

The already extremely "heavy" Zixiao Dao Palace seemed to have become so heavy that it was overwhelming his divine sense!

"How could this be!?"

He suddenly looked up and stared intently at Li Xian.

But then a sword intent as black as the sun was seen slashing towards the Purple Cloud Palace!
Do not!
To be precise, it was aimed at the Yin God power that controlled the Purple Cloud Palace and was almost one with this supreme treasure!
This sword intent distorted the void and interfered with time, so much so that he was not alerted at first!

"How is that possible... Under the crushing power of the Purple Cloud Palace, even if your spiritual world isn't destroyed, it has absolutely no ability to fight back..."

A hint of fear flashed in Rahu's eyes.

He frantically activated forbidden techniques, squeezing out all his divine power, but he was still unable to re-expand the spacetime domain of the Purple Cloud Palace.

And Mr. Li...

He arrived with a true void storm, unleashing his last strength as he aimed the Flowing Void Sword at the body of the Demon Lord Rahu and brought it crashing down.

"cut!"

"Li Xian!"

With a long roar, the Demon Lord Rahu unleashed his fury, his hair growing longer as he unleashed the destructive power of his Dao Body to its fullest extent. The God-Slaying Spear in his hand pierced through the void, burning with unprecedented black flames, as he fiercely met the storm power that only a perfected Void Dao Body could unleash...

"Break!"

To achieve our goal in one decisive battle!
However, this angry shout and howl, which lasted for a moment, was gradually replaced by an uncontrollable horror.

The destructive power unleashed by the Godslayer Spear melted away before this true void storm, much like ice and snow exposed to the blazing sun.

“I, Luo Hou, am destined to become a True Immortal who resides in this world, and even a Mysterious Immortal of Creation… How can I… die here…”

The Demon Lord Rahu unleashed a full array of methods, his magical treasures and talismans constantly flashing as he exerted all his strength.

However, the void storm advanced layer by layer, disintegrating the destructive power on the God-Slaying Spear, tearing this superior Dao artifact to shreds, annihilating all the talismans and magical treasures, and then, with its remaining force, sweeping over his body...

"No! No! No!"

Amidst cries filled with despair, resentment, and even a hint of regret, the figure of this Demonic Heavenly Lord was ultimately engulfed by the void storm.

"Boom!"

After the storm, everything returns to nothingness.
