Chapter 258: Golden Virtue Tai Bai Tai Hao Star Deity

Chapter 258: Golden Virtue Tai Bai Tai Hao Star Deity

Li Yaxian's heart trembled.

Qi Yuan instantly killed Yang Kang, a turn of events she hadn't anticipated.

She had never imagined Qi Yuan's strength to be this formidable.

Wasn't he a Divine Infant?

Perhaps he had been concealing his true power.

But none of that mattered now.

The crucial fact was that Qi Yuan had killed someone!

He had taken the life of an elder within the Quest for Dao Palace!

This was a matter of immense significance!

Even a Dark Deity visiting the Quest for Dao Palace would dare not kill so casually.

Li Yaxian's mind was in disarray.

The woman in the yellow skirt was also taken aback, as the scene before her eyes exceeded her expectations.

"Let's get out of here!" Li Yaxian's mind was filled with the urge to flee.

Even though she knew they might not make it out, this thought had just crossed her mind when powerful auras suddenly emanated from all directions.

"Who dares to cause trouble within the Quest for Dao Palace!"

"You audacious rogue! Killing in the Quest for Dao Palace is a death sentence!"

In an instant, over a dozen formidable auras swept through the area, instantly surrounding Qi Yuan and Li Yaxian.

Each of these individuals was a Purple Mansion Cultivator, and their auras were particularly terrifying.

Surrounded by so many Purple Mansion Cultivators, Li Yaxian's face turned deathly pale, feeling closer to death than ever before.

The woman in the yellow skirt clenched her teeth, her face ashen.

Amidst the crowd, Qi Yuan remained calm. He spoke indifferently, "I am a seeker of the Dao, and I have come here with sincerity to challenge the esteemed cultivators of the Quest for Dao Palace.

If I win, I request that you bestow upon me the cultivation techniques you have practiced. If I lose, I will grant you the opportunity to attain divinity."

???

These words left the Purple Mansion Cultivators present somewhat perplexed.

Li Yaxian and the woman in the yellow skirt were also bewildered. Qi Yuan's thought process was too swift for them to follow.

"Don't change the subject. How do you explain killing Yang Kang?" An elder questioned Qi Yuan.

As time passed, more and more Purple Mansion Cultivators gathered, some observing from a distance.

"I was about to pay my respects to Elder Fu Lu, but this fellow wanted me to sleep with him, so I killed him without a second thought," Qi Yuan replied nonchalantly.

Facing so many Purple Mansion Cultivators, he remained composed.

This scene left Li Yaxian feeling both impressed and helpless.

"You're twisting the truth!"

"Even if he insulted you, it's the Quest for Dao Palace's responsibility to judge him. Who are you to take his life?"

"When you enter the Quest for Dao Palace, you must abide by its rules!"

The Purple Mansion Cultivators' auras grew more menacing.

After all, killing within the Quest for Dao Palace, and an elder at that, was a blatant disregard for their authority.

"Why should I follow your rules when I'm not a member of the Quest for Dao Palace?" Qi Yuan stated matter-of-factly.

This immediately incited fury among the Purple Mansion Cultivators.

The person before them was simply too arrogant.

Did he not know this was the Quest for Dao Palace? Was he not afraid of anything?

Just then, a faint voice resonated in the hearts of everyone present.

"Bloodrobe Sword God, as a Great Venerable, why bother playing with these juniors?"

A robust man clad in blood armor stepped forward.

His entire being was shrouded in blood, and a terrifying aura emanated from him.

Standing there, he seemed both close and distant.

The arrival of this person caused every Purple Mansion Cultivator present to tremble.

For the newcomer was none other than the hidden master of the Quest for Dao Palace.

Martial Lord Venerable!

Martial Lord Venerable was an enigmatic figure, and even among the Purple Mansion Cultivators, only one in a hundred had ever laid eyes on him.

Today, he had revealed himself.

And what he said...

Bloodrobe Sword God...

Could it be...

The Purple Mansion Cultivators were stunned. They had surrounded a Great Venerable, intending to suppress a Great Venerable!

Li Yaxian was also bewildered, staring at Qi Yuan in disbelief.

The woman in the yellow skirt covered her mouth, her eyes wide with shock as she looked at Qi Yuan.

She could never have imagined that the man before her was her idol, the Bloodrobe Sword God.

Qi Yuan looked at Martial Lord Venerable with a calm gaze. "I wasn't playing with them. They are all Purple Mansion Cultivators, my seniors in age.

I came to the Quest for Dao Palace to challenge these esteemed seniors.

My previous words still stand.

If I lose, I will offer you the cultivation techniques I've practiced. If I win, I will grant you the opportunity to attain divinity."

Qi Yuan's words left the Purple Mansion Cultivators present exchanging glances.

They wondered what gave this Great Venerable the audacity to challenge them from afar? He was a Great Venerable!

All the Purple Mansion Cultivators in the Quest for Dao Palace combined were no match for a single Dark Deity.

Even all the Dark Deities in the Waveless Ocean Realm were no match for a single Great Venerable.

A Great Venerable challenging them... They didn't know if they should feel honored or if it was simply absurd.

As for the fallen Yang Kang, no one seemed to care anymore.

If he had died at the hands of a Dark Deity, that Dark Deity might still fear the strength of Martial Lord Venerable and offer apologies.

But a Great Venerable was a different story.

Offending a Great Venerable and expecting to live?

Martial Lord Great Venerable gazed at Qi Yuan, his eyes filled with complexity. "You... are you serious?"

He had long heard of Blood Robe Sword God's madness.

A few days ago, Blood Robe Sword God's meeting with Jasmine Great Venerable had also made Martial Lord Great Venerable feel that this Blood Robe Sword God was no ordinary person.

"I never lie, so of course I'm serious.

I, a young man, challenging a group of old monsters in Quest for Dao Palace, is like asking for trouble. But I'm doing this out of respect for the elderly, isn't that reasonable?" Qi Yuan spoke with a sense of entitlement.

The Purple Mansion Cultivators were speechless.

They really wanted to say that Blood Robe Sword God's thick skin knew no bounds.

Challenging Purple Mansions as a Great Venerable since the birth of the Canglan Realm, had such a thing ever happened before?

And he even claimed to be at a disadvantage.

This was too shameless.

"Sigh, facing so many renowned old monsters, I'm actually feeling intimidated.

But I still mustered the courage to challenge them!

Even if I end up bruised and battered, surrounded and besieged, I'd have no regrets!

This battle, let's fight until heaven and earth collapse, let's battle across the cosmos!"

Qi Yuan spoke with passion and fervor.

It was as if a weak person was daring to challenge a strong one, expressing his thoughts.

"What's your real intention?" Martial Lord Great Venerable narrowed his eyes, as if trying to see through Qi Yuan.

"I... want all the techniques of Quest for Dao Palace.

I also want Quest for Dao Palace to help me with something!"

Qi Yuan quickly ended his state of excitement and shared the matter of the Origin Spirit Shared Society with Martial Lord Great Venerable.

Martial Lord Great Venerable furrowed his brows.

"Your request... is a bit excessive."

Techniques are the foundation of Cultivators.

How could Quest for Dao Palace, with its history of over ten million years, easily give away their techniques?

Even if the person is a Great Venerable.

Martial Lord is also a Great Venerable, a peak Sky-Treading Fourth Step Great Venerable, and he was not afraid of Qi Yuan.

After all, Qi Yuan is a Moon Gazing Great Venerable, and in the Canglan Realm, he could only display a weak Sky-Treading Fourth Step.

"If I challenge you, and then challenge all the Purple Mansions in Quest for Dao Palace, and defeat all of you, will I be able to... obtain all the techniques?" Qi Yuan spoke softly.

Upon hearing this, all the Purple Mansions in the room were shocked.

Divine Battle!

This was a divine battle!

Blood Robe Sword God actually wanted to challenge Martial Lord Great Venerable!

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

Martial Lord Great Venerable was also taken aback.

He didn't know where Qi Yuan's courage came from, daring to challenge him.

"Your courage is great, and your confidence is high." Martial Lord Great Venerable's body was clad in blood-colored armor, and the aura he exuded was exceptionally dangerous.

He understood.

Blood Robe Sword God came to Quest for Dao Palace to pick a fight, prepared to defeat them.

Everything was just an excuse.

"If my courage were not great, how could I challenge so many old monsters alone!"

Qi Yuan scanned the group of Purple Mansions, his expression solemn.

The Purple Mansion Cultivators seen by Qi Yuan blushed, wishing they could find a mouse hole to hide in.

Martial Lord Great Venerable looked at Qi Yuan, divine light flashing in his eyes: "Even if you don't challenge me, I will challenge you!

Blood Robe Sword God, if you win, what's the harm in taking a copy of Quest for Dao Palace's technique manual?"

In the 1619 book bar, there's no mistake in this version!

Martial Lord Great Venerable's voice was majestic, reaching everyone's ears, but the part about "Mythic Treasure" was only transmitted to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows.

He couldn't accept this result of failure.

Being unable to associate with Jasmine Great Venerable, how could he obtain the Mythic Treasure? But thinking that he wouldn't lose, he smiled.

"Okay." He agreed.

The Purple Mansions on the field trembled.

Divine Battle... was it really about to begin?

How many years had it been since Phoenix Heavenly Domain had a Dark Deity battle?

Now, two Great Venerables were about to engage in combat.

"Since that's what you want, in seven days... let's fight!" Martial Lord Great Venerable's eyes flashed with divine light.

To obtain the Mythic Treasure, he must defeat Qi Yuan.

Even though he knew it was Jasmine Great Venerable's bright scheme, he had to enter the game.

Only then would he have a chance to obtain the Mythic Treasure.

As for the value of the Mythic Treasure to a Dark Deity, one could imagine its nobility.

As for Jasmine Great Venerable, as beautiful as she was, how could Martial Lord Great Venerable truly be infatuated with a woman? Even if she was the number one beauty of Phoenix Heavenly Domain.

"Why wait for seven days, let's fight now! After defeating you, I'll challenge all the hundreds of Purple Mansions in Quest for Dao Palace, let's get it done quickly." Qi Yuan said.

The Purple Mansions couldn't hold back.

They really wanted to tell Blood Robe Sword God to stop dragging them along and treating them like pawns.

Martial Lord Great Venerable was taken aback, he hadn't expected Qi Yuan to say this.

"Are you sure you want to fight now?"

"Sure." Qi Yuan replied lazily.

"Since that's what you want, then let's fight!" Martial Lord Great Venerable didn't hesitate at all.

He guessed that Blood Robe Sword God didn't want their battle to be watched by others, so he... did this.

His battle intent soared.

With a wave of his hand, a surge of divine energy flowed and landed on Qi Yuan's body.

Instantly, Qi Yuan's figure and the Martial Lord Great Venerable's silhouette vanished, both entering the Void Realm.

In the Canglan Realm, any cultivator who unleashed the power of a Dark Deity would be dragged into the Void Realm.

At that moment, in the Pathfinding Palace, the Purple Mansion Cultivators saw Qi Yuan leave, and the pressure they felt dissipated, finally allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Blood Robe Sword God has quite the nerve to challenge the Martial Lord Great Venerable!"

"Where does he get such audacity!"

"On the Moon Gazing Continent, Blood Robe Sword God might be powerful, but in the Canglan Realm, he's nothing!"

When a lifeform devours the Heavenly Dao in its own realm, it receives a boost, but when it goes to other worlds, it is suppressed by the Heavenly Dao and cannot exert its full strength.

It is common knowledge that it can only display the strength of a weaker Venerable.

Initially, the connection between Blood Robe Sword God and the Moon Gazing Continent was concealed, but unfortunately, the news eventually leaked out.

These Purple Mansion Cultivators in the Pathfinding Palace had also learned the true nature of Blood Robe Sword God.

Not far away, a yellow-skirted woman blinked and asked, "Grandma, is he really Blood Robe Sword God?"

Upon hearing her granddaughter's words, Li Yaxian took a deep breath and replied, "He should be."

She couldn't imagine that the man who had been sunbathing and complaining about his poverty on the flying boat with her was actually a Great Venerable.

The yellow-skirted woman's heart was filled with mixed emotions.

She had even thought of setting up a match between Blood Robe Sword God and her grandmother!

What's more, she had once believed that Blood Robe Sword God was not worthy of her grandmother.

Fortunately, she hadn't shown this, or Blood Robe Sword God would have known...

"Will Blood Robe Sword God win this battle?" the yellow-skirted woman asked Li Yaxian.

Blood Robe Sword God was her idol, and she had even met him before. During their journey, she had constantly teased and mocked him. Now, it all seemed like a dream.

So, she hoped Blood Robe Sword God would win.

"It's very difficult," Li Yaxian said.

At that moment, the Void Realm was empty, devoid of any objects.

Qi Yuan and the Martial Lord Great Venerable stood face-to-face.

This duel had been arranged hastily, so there were no spectators.

Even if other Dark Deities knew of the battle between the two, they wouldn't know where it was taking place.

The Martial Lord Great Venerable stared at Qi Yuan, emitting a formidable aura.

After entering the Void Realm, he no longer held back his strength.

The overwhelming aura swept through the space, as if it were about to tear it apart.

He glared at Qi Yuan, his fighting spirit soaring, "Let's see what gives you such audacity!"

He couldn't comprehend how Blood Robe Sword God dared to challenge him! The gap between Dark Deities was immense.

Clearly, Blood Robe Sword God's achievements were merely the result of killing a few Dark Deities.

In the Canglan Realm, under the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, his abilities were no match for a Great Venerable. Facing a Great Venerable was akin to seeking death.

"When I condensed my Golden Core, I dared to take action against Dark Deities.

Now that I've condensed my Divine Infant, what's there to fear in challenging a Great Venerable?"

"Madness and delusion!" The Martial Lord Great Venerable roared.

With his voice, a powerful Divine Domain was unleashed.

Battles between Great Venerables were all about the clash of Divine Domains.

The Martial Lord Great Venerable immediately unleashed his Divine Domain, clearly aiming for a swift victory.

"My Divine Domain is named Golden Annihilation!"

Within the Martial Lord Great Venerable's Divine Domain, the power of gold was supreme, representing ultimate offense.

As the Divine Domain unfolded, Qi Yuan was bombarded with countless golden spears and magical artifacts attacking him.

Facing such an assault, Qi Yuan remained calm, his voice carrying authority, "Brilliant and radiant, the Divine Infant emerges, heed my command, Golden Virtue, grand and glorious!"

As he spoke, a Divine Infant appeared, exuding an ancient and vast aura.

A distant and ethereal voice seemed to transcend time itself, "Golden Virtue Tai Bai Tai Hao Star Deity, obey my command!"

Upon hearing this voice, the Martial Lord Great Venerable's expression shifted in shock.

What had he seen! His lips quivered, and his body trembled, his once-proud Divine Domain now wavered, barely holding on.

He saw a Divine Infant, but it was as if a star as vast as a starry sky had unfolded before him.

That star seemed even larger than the Canglan Realm itself.

A Divine Domain larger than the Canglan Realm! Was this still a Divine Domain?

How could there be such a Divine Domain! He trembled, unable to comprehend.

Infinite golden energy, pure and pristine, seemed like a mere thread could shatter his Divine Domain.

How could he possibly fight back?
