Chapter 351: Divine Dragon Descends, Execution to Calm the Gods

Chapter 351: Divine Dragon Descends, Execution to Calm the Gods

"What is it?" Li Xuan asked with a smile as he saw Xu Yan returning.

"I just need to organize my thoughts, and I will understand it all." Xu Yan replied joyfully.

Li Xuan was even happier than his disciple. This meant that Xu Yan was about to step into the Broken Void realm! It was a crucial step towards transcending the heavens and earth.

"Excellent!" Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Master, there seems to be an extraordinary presence in the Sky Cave. It's not spiritual energy, but I can't quite identify it. I want to enter the cave and try to comprehend it; perhaps I'll gain some insight." Xu Yan said.

Li Xuan nodded. He, too, was curious about the formation of the Sky Cave.

Since Xu Yan mentioned the presence of an extraordinary aura within, there might be something to gain. As a master, it was only natural to clear any obstacles for his disciple's entry into the Sky Cave.

And that obstacle was none other than Mei Wu.

For the sake of his grand pursuit of martial arts, Mei Wu must die!

"It seems you have also reached your peak. Are you ready?" Li Xuan remained seated in his chair, not even bothering to stand up.

"To think that the Mei Wu, capable of killing a Sky Lord, would be deemed unworthy of your serious attention. Your greatness truly knows no bounds!" Fu Tianhai and the others were left in awe.

"Xu Yan's master is truly formidable. He is an extraordinary being, one not to be provoked, absolutely not!" Thousands of Martial Palace Masters silently warned themselves.

At the same time, he felt relieved that he hadn't taken action personally earlier; it would have been a foolish move. Otherwise, the Thousand Martial Palace might have been destroyed by now.

He glanced at Fang Hao, who was on the Evergreen Pavilion, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Is Fang Hao also a disciple of an extraordinary master? How should we deal with the disruption caused by the Alliance in the spiritual realm?"

"This matter is beyond the control of my Thousand Martial Palace." Thinking of this, the master of the Thousand Martial Palace began to calculate how to resolve the conflicts with Fang Hao.

Mei Wu, on the other hand, was furious. She couldn't tolerate the arrogance of her opponent, who didn't seem to put her in his eyes at all. It was truly detestable!

"I want to see how you plan to kill me, Mei Wu. As long as the Sky Cave exists, you won't be able to kill me, no matter how strong you are!" Mei Wu's body emanated a pink glow.

A unique aura rippled through the surroundings, causing even the spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth to seem uncomfortable. The spiritual energy of the world seemed to be tinged with a faint pink hue.

"So powerful!" Wu Tiannan and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

The strength Mei Wu displayed at this moment was obviously stronger than when she had fought the Sky Lord.

"Since I, Mei Wu, have entered this world, don't even think about expelling me completely. My power is infinite; let's see how you plan to kill me." Mei Wu said fearlessly.

"What can you do, no matter how strong you are?"

Li Xuan looked at her with indifferent eyes, then glanced at the Sky Cave, deep in thought.

Mei Wu was right; it wouldn't be easy to eradicate her completely.

But she had encountered a master like him, and his strength was not limited to the martial arts of this world.

"Sky Cave, a hole in the heavens and earth. Mei Wu came from the Sky Cave; could she be an enemy from beyond the heavens?" Li Xuan began to speculate.

He became curious about the Sky Cave and wondered if it was possible to glimpse what lay beyond the heavens and earth.

"What divine ability should I use?" Li Xuan hesitated. Using the Heaven and Earth as a model was powerful and shocking, but it would require him to get up from his chair, which didn't fit the image of a superior master who could suppress Mei Wu with a casual wave of his hand.

"Should I use the universe within the sword?" Li Xuan rejected that idea as well and finally decided on a divine ability to use.

Divine Dragon Descends!

With a casual wave of his hand, a divine dragon would descend and slay the petty villains. Wouldn't that be shocking enough?

It would also broaden the horizons of the warriors in the spiritual realm.

"Are you ready? I'm about to make my move!" Li Xuan ignored Mei Wu's rage and said indifferently.

"Come on, let's see how capable you are to be so arrogant!" Mei Wu sneered.

The pink light intensified, and a huge pink lotus flower floated above her head.

Li Xuan sat in his chair, his eyes indifferent as he looked at her. He raised one hand and gently patted the air!

Roaaar!

With this gentle pat, a mighty force descended, causing the heavens and earth to change color. A dragon's roar echoed, as if all living things in the world would tremble in response!

Golden light appeared, and a gigantic golden dragon suddenly emerged. Its eyes were fierce and intimidating, devoid of any emotion as it gazed indifferently at Mei Wu.

The mighty dragon's might stirred up the heavens and earth, and thunder rumbled in the sky.

Fu Tianhai and the other powerful beings in the spiritual realm stared with wide eyes, their bodies trembling. Their breath seemed to freeze, and their faces were filled with shock.

The golden dragon's majestic dragon might caused their souls to tremble.

Just a glance was enough to make them feel like they were gazing upon an unapproachable being.

"A true dragon!" Mei Wu's face paled in horror.

The golden dragon lifted one dragon claw, surrounded by the swirling winds and thunder. It pounced towards Mei Wu.

"I don't believe it!" Mei Wu shrieked, and the pink lotus above her head burst forth, attacking the golden dragon.

However, the pink light began to crumble.

The golden dragon was like a divine dragon descending upon the world. With a single claw, all defenses and attacks were torn apart and destroyed.

Boom!

Dragon might rippled, dragon whiskers fluttered, and with a single claw, Mei Wu was instantly destroyed. The pink light could not withstand the sweep of the dragon's might and completely vanished!

And between heaven and earth, there was no longer any trace of Mei Wu's presence, only the mighty dragon might stirring the winds and clouds.

"Mei Wu is dead!"

"Even the Sky Lord wasn't her match. After consuming the Sky Lord, her strength increased, yet she was still killed in a single strike!"

"Is that a legendary true dragon?"

"An extraordinary master! With a single palm, a true dragon descended. What incredible power!"

Everyone was stunned.

"This is the Dragon Subduing Palm!" Xu Yan was also greatly shocked.

"It's the divine ability-level Dragon Subduing Palm! This is the Dragon Subduing Palm divine ability!" Xu Yan's heart burned with enthusiasm. He couldn't wait to break through to the divine ability realm himself and make a true dragon descend with a single palm, just like his master.

"Did Master use one-ten-thousandth of his strength?" Fang Hao muttered to himself.

"What are you talking about? Master didn't even dare to reveal a trace of his origin energy for fear of causing a heavenly calamity. How could he have used one-ten-thousandth of his strength?" Xu Yan corrected him solemnly.

Meng Chong nodded deeply, "Big Brother Xu Yan is right. Master only used one-billionth of his strength with that palm strike!"

Fang Hao felt ashamed. He had thought that Master had used one-ten-thousandth of his strength!

Indeed, only the eldest senior brother truly understood Master and had glimpsed a trace of his true strength!

At this moment, Xu Yan's face was flushed with shame. "It's all my fault for improving too slowly. Otherwise, Master wouldn't have had to take action. Every time Master makes a move, he has to suppress his power for fear of bringing a heavenly calamity. It's really difficult for Master!"

When Meng Chong and Fang Hao heard this, their faces also turned red with shame.

It was their fault as disciples for being incapable and not being able to handle even such a weak enemy, requiring Master to take action.

Wu Tiannan and the others: ...

Were they even speaking a human language?

They didn't know how to describe the shock they felt at this moment.

Li Xuan felt a little embarrassed. His disciple was really exaggerating his praise.

"Fortunately, my strength is powerful enough to maintain the image of a lofty and unfathomable master!"

Everyone looked at the Sky Cave, where the golden dragon had not yet disappeared. It coiled in the sky above the cave, its golden eyes shining fiercely.

"How can she be dead and not dead?" Su Lingxiu wondered.

Xu Yan and the others were equally puzzled, as their master's strike had seemingly obliterated Mei Wu completely. How could she still be alive?

"Mei Wu came from the Sky Cave. Her true body is not in the Spirit Realm," Li Xuan explained calmly.

"That wasn't her true body?" Xu Yan and the others were astonished.

Especially Wu Tiannan and the rest, who knew that Mei Wu had consumed a Sky Lord. They couldn't believe that such a powerful being wasn't her true self.

Li Xuan didn't elaborate further, as he waited for Mei Wu to reappear after regrouping.

A pink glow emerged from the Sky Cave, and Mei Wu's figure materialized once more, looking somewhat weakened, as she had just reconstituted her body.

"You have impressive skills. I will remember you, and offending me, Mei Wu, will only bring misfortune!" The newly formed Mei Wu spoke coldly, her gaze indifferent, as if she were a completely different person.

Or perhaps, she had undergone a personality shift.

Li Xuan stood up, stepping out of the Evergreen Pavilion's flying ship, and said indifferently, "Do you know why I waited for you?"

Mei Wu looked puzzled.

"I want to tell you that killing you is not difficult. Even if we are separated by countless spaces, it is still within my power." As Li Xuan spoke, a mysterious aura began to emanate from him.

The Great Wilderness Divine Countenance also manifested, exuding an ancient and boundless aura.

This Mei Wu was undoubtedly a formidable opponent, and her true body's strength was likely even more formidable.

However, she was unable to cross over fully.

Therefore, Li Xuan wanted to intimidate her, making her fearful and cautious.

As the Great Wilderness Divine Countenance appeared, a look of shock flashed in Mei Wu's cold eyes.

Behind that figure, it seemed as if the heavens and earth were in their infancy, shrouded in primordial chaos, wild, ancient, and eternal... an enigma that defied comprehension, making the heavens and earth seem insignificant in comparison.

Even Mei Wu was overwhelmed!

Wu Tiannan and the others were utterly stupefied, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets, their mouths hanging open as they stood there, dumbfounded.

"What is that?" Inside the Evergreen Pavilion, Xu Yan and the others were deeply shaken.

Li Xuan slightly raised his hand, and as he moved, the heavens and earth trembled as if they were about to turn upside down or shatter into pieces.

He paused for a moment, not continuing the upward motion, but instead, he curled his fingers, and a wisp of Mei Wu's aura fell into his hand.

"This sword is a warning to you!" Li Xuan said, snapping his fingers. A golden dragon swooped down, instantly tearing through Mei Wu, transforming into a golden sword that pierced the Sky Cave and vanished without a trace.

It was the Decisive Silence Sword, slaying Mei Wu with her own aura, and striking directly at her true body!

This was a warning.

Li Xuan guessed that while the strike was powerful, it might not be enough to kill Mei Wu outright.

However, it should be enough to intimidate her.

He turned to look at the Great Wilderness Divine Countenance, shook his head, and the mysterious aura faded away as the Great Wilderness Divine Countenance disappeared. He returned to the Evergreen Pavilion and sat back down in his chair.

Once again, he resumed his unremarkable appearance.

From the manifestation of the Great Wilderness Divine Countenance to lifting his hand to slay Mei Wu, it had all happened in a short span of time.

However, Fu Tianhai and the other powerful beings in the Spirit Realm were left stunned, their eyes wide and their bodies trembling. They seemed unable to process what they had just witnessed.

What kind of formidable existence was this?

Xu Yan had mentioned that his master's mere leakage of his origin energy would bring about a heavenly calamity. They had thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seemed to be the truth!

Just a slight lift of his hand caused the heavens and earth to tremble as if they were about to collapse.

Such overwhelming power was beyond their comprehension!

It completely surpassed their understanding of what a strong cultivator could achieve!

It was truly awe-inspiring!

To save the Spirit Realm and kill Mei Wu, he had no choice but to intervene, but he dared not use even a trace of his true power, forcefully suppressing his cultivation. One could only imagine the frustration and helplessness he felt.

At that moment, the powerful beings in the Spirit Realm felt their horizons broaden. They now knew that there truly existed such terrifying beings, surpassing their previous understanding of the limits of strength.

"We thank the noble sage for saving our Spirit Realm!"

"We are forever indebted to the noble sage!"

Da Zhou Huang was the first to kneel and express his gratitude.

Fu Tianhai and the others quickly followed suit, bowing respectfully.

Their hearts were filled with excitement. With such a powerful existence in the Spirit Realm, they could rest easy, for what crisis could threaten them now?

However, the calamity that befell Yunzhou and Dazhou had caused unimaginable devastation, and it would take a long time for those places to recover.

"It was a minor matter," Li Xuan said indifferently.

His disciple had claimed that his mere movements could shake the heavens and earth, so he had to maintain that image.

Thus, when he lifted his hand earlier, it had appeared as if the heavens and earth were shaking, but in truth, he had directly manipulated the laws of the world to create that illusion.

However, since it was an illusion created by the laws of the world, it felt no different from actual tremors, and it was difficult to discern the distinction.

When it came to understanding the laws of the world, Li Xuan believed that if he claimed second place, no one would dare claim the first.

The Sky Cave returned to tranquility, with no more pink aura emerging. It seemed that Mei Wu had been thoroughly eradicated.

The Evergreen Pavilion's flying ship hovered above the Sky Cave, and the group looked downward. The ashen-black cave seemed like a gaping hole, with an unknown aura lingering within.

"A hole in the heavens and earth... Is this a rift in space within the heavens and earth?" Li Xuan wondered aloud.

No wonder Xu Yan had been able to comprehend the method to reach the Broken Void realm within the Sky Cave. Its existence, a gaping hole in the void of the heavens and earth, was extraordinary.

With a slight movement, Li Xuan stepped into the Sky Cave.

His divine sense covered the entire cave, and he detected the unusual aura that Xu Yan had mentioned. It was indeed peculiar, carrying a hint of an indestructible essence.

In an instant, wisps of aura gathered towards him.

The invisible aura swirled around his palm, and Li Xuan examined it silently. These wisps were very unique, almost as if they couldn't be refined or absorbed.

If they couldn't be refined or absorbed, it meant that cultivators wouldn't be able to utilize them, and if they entered the body in large quantities, they might even affect the cultivator adversely.

"What kind of aura is this?" Li Xuan was intrigued, his gaze shifting towards the bottom of the Sky Cave.

This Sky Cave wasn't particularly large, nor was it small. Apart from the ashen-black hole and the lingering extraordinary aura, there was nothing else to be seen.

Mei Wu had also vanished.

The bottom of the Sky Cave wasn't made of soil or governed by the laws of the world.

"Some sort of barrier, a heavenly barrier perhaps?" Li Xuan mused.

At the bottom of the Sky Cave, strands of aura were seeping through, and it was through this that Mei Wu's power had entered their world.

"Beyond the heavens and earth..." Li Xuan was almost certain that Mei Wu was an enemy from beyond their realm.

"The essence of the Dao, yet not complete. This is a heavenly barrier, preventing intrusion from beyond while also stopping the spiritual energy of the heavens and earth from leaking out.

"What lies beyond the heavens and earth?

"The Sky Cave was formed by an external impact, allowing outsiders to infiltrate, but those within cannot cross the barrier to the outside.

"Is it a protection to safeguard the origin of the heavens and earth, or is it a form of restraint?"

The more Li Xuan sensed the bottom of the Sky Cave, the more he felt that its existence was unusual.
