Chapter 556 The Setting Sun and the Fire Cricket
It's Chief Chen!
"The chief has finally emerged from seclusion!"
However, True Monarch Yi Yang's profound abilities are formidable; even the chief disciple might not be able to defeat him upon emerging from seclusion. If he were to lose, it would likely bring harm to the sect.
Upon seeing Chen Beiwu's appearance, the Yuqing cultivators present exchanged slightly different glances.
Some students of the Immortal Cultivator expressed their expectations, believing that Chief Chen's combat power was unparalleled and that he could defeat even the most outstanding talents of the Cave Heaven.
However, some students looked pessimistic and were not optimistic about Chen Beiwu.
The reason is simple: in the eyes of many Jade Purity Immortal students, the Five Great Grotto-Heavens are superior to the Thirteen Immortal Sects and stand apart from them, which cannot be changed by Chen Beiwu alone.
Unseen by the immortal students, the eyes of the divine consciousness clones hidden in the shadows watching the battle gleamed slightly.
"The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves forward. Only a few years have passed, and Junior Brother Chen has already reached the late Nascent Soul stage. Such talent is truly terrifying." True Monarch Nixia Su Miao exclaimed in admiration.
"With Junior Brother Chen taking action, Jiang Xuanyang won't be able to cause much trouble," said Yue Shan, the Mountain Moving True Lord, calmly.
Even among Nascent Soul True Monarchs, there are differences in strength.
If it weren't for the rules of the Cave Heaven Grand Competition, which prevented them from bullying the weak, any one of them could easily suppress the arrogant Jiang Xuanyang, even if they had to suppress their cultivation level.
It's absolutely true.
Qin Zheng, the Thunder Hunter, nodded slightly, his tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxing.
As a True Lord of the Jade Purity Immortal Sect, he naturally could not tolerate the Pure Yang Cave Heaven True Lord's arrogance at the Jade Purity Mountain Gate.
Now that Chen Beiwu has appeared, displaying the aura of a late-stage Nascent Soul True Monarch, Qin Zheng's worries immediately vanished.
Although Jiang Xuanyang's Pure Yang Immortal Technique is powerful, he is not the chief of the cave heaven and does not have the power of the Dao Fruit to support him. He is probably no match for Chen Beiwu.
At the same time, Jiang Chuan Zhenjun, who was in charge of receiving guests for the Yuqing Immortal Sect, smiled calmly and said, "Yi Yang Zhenjun, our sect's chief disciple has arrived. You may need to recuperate for a while before starting the Dao Debate."
Jiang Xuanyang had no time to heed Jiang Chuan Zhenjun's words.
At this moment, he couldn't even care about Yu Zhaohua; all he could see was Chen Beiwu.
Jiang Xuanyang began studying the immortal technique "Pure Yang Fusion Fire Burning Heaven Great Dao Scripture" under the guidance of his family elders from a young age. After years of arduous cultivation, he finally achieved some success after attaining the Nascent Soul True Monarch realm, and forged the Burning Heaven True Dao that could burn away True Monarchs of the same realm.
However, the moment his eyes met Chen Beiwu's, the Burning Heaven True Qi within his body frantically circulated as a warning, as if facing a formidable enemy, or as if confronting an invincible, ferocious beast.
No wonder Senior Brother Zhu has always praised Chen Beiwu highly, calling him an unparalleled expert, and telling me to be extremely careful when I visit the mountain this time!
Jiang Xuanyang took a deep breath and suppressed the restlessness within his body caused by the Burning Heaven True Essence.
He didn't comment at the time, but felt that Senior Brother Zhu's words were an exaggeration and overestimated the so-called geniuses of the Three Immortal Sects.
In Jiang Xuanyang's mind, the geniuses of the Upper Three Immortal Sects were not much different from those of the Ten Great Immortal Sects; they could all be placed on the same table, a bunch of worthless fish and shrimp.
But now that he has seen Chen Beiwu in person, Jiang Xuanyang understands that what his senior brother Zhu said was not an exaggeration; on the contrary, he underestimated the heroes of the world.
This person has good fortune, accompanied by purple aura; no wonder he was able to defeat Yu Zhaohua.
Chen Beiwu's eyes flashed, he gave a brief self-introduction, and then agreed with Senior Brother Jiang Chuan's words, saying that it would be fairer for Jiang Xuanyang to take pills and rest and recuperate for a period of time after the battle had just ended.
Jiang Xuanyang did not refuse and readily agreed.
Whether he rests or not, his combat power is not affected when facing ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators; he can suppress them with a flick of his palm.
But when facing a truly formidable enemy, he needs to circulate his internal energy and spirit to their peak.
"Senior Brother Li, is that Chen Beiwu? Compared to Chief Zhu, his aura is nothing special, only his appearance is slightly more outstanding." Wu Qing transmitted his thoughts telepathically.
"Shut up! With your Foundation Establishment cultivation, how dare you presume to speak of a True Monarch!" Li Tianming's heart skipped a beat, and he gave Wu Qing a cold glance.
Having followed Yi Yang Zhenjun for many years, how could he not see the caution in the latter's eyes?
Wu Qing's current reckless words, spoken with divine consciousness, not only show contempt for True Lord Zhenwu, but also for True Lord Yiyang.
You should know the saying that trouble comes from the mouth.
This is a one-time exception; there will be no next time!
As Jiang Xuanyang's voice rang out, Wu Qing groaned, a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, his eyes showing astonishment.
What's going on?
Jiang Zhenjun actually warned him for the sake of a sect leader!
On the other side, Yu Zhaohua got up from the lava ravine, took out a pill and swallowed it, then used her divine sense to remind Chen Beiwu.
Be careful, Jiang Xuanyang's Heaven-Burning True Fire is extremely fierce, even the molten core of the Flint Rock Coiled Dragon cannot withstand it.
clear."
Chen Beiwu nodded and communicated with the golden egg and iron egg through his divine sense: Who of you wants to warm up?
Golden Egg and Iron Egg exchanged a glance, then Golden Egg voluntarily stepped aside: "Let Iron Egg make the move."
Although Jin Dan was reluctant to admit it, sending Tie Dan into battle against Chunyang Dongtian Zhenjun would undoubtedly result in a more decisive victory.
Conversely, it can win when it enters the game, but it will have to take some hits and it's hard to win in a good way.
"Woof."
Tie Dan barked softly, its eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.
"Okay, Jiang Xuanyang is your responsibility." Chen Beiwu smiled.
Yi Yang Zhenjun was not the chief of the cave heavens, but rather a mountain-knocking envoy sent by Chunyang Cave Heaven to assess whether the various sects of the Immortal Alliance were qualified to participate in the cave heaven competition.
He can win by letting Tie Dan take action now; there's no need to let Jin Dan, Xue Le, and Zhi Ling take action as well, which would expose too much information.
The more intelligence cards he hides, the less likely he is to be targeted in the future Cave Heaven Competition.
Two quarters of an hour later, Jiang Xuanyang finished his meditation and stood up to look at Chen Beiwu.
"Chief Chen, please."
As soon as he finished speaking, the mysterious ring on Jiang Xuanyang's finger emitted a brilliant light.
In an instant, a blazing and domineering ancient aura descended, like the sun descending upon the world, scorching the heavens and the void, causing Yu Zhaohua's eyes to narrow.
-
Damn it, when she made her move to fight Jiang Xuanyang, he didn't even summon his ginseng beast. He only used the ginseng contract to unleash pure yang profound power, using the opponent's strength against him and finding a weakness to win.
"cracking!"
Under the watchful eyes of many Jade Purity cultivators, the crimson light dissipated, and a colossal beast suddenly appeared.
It is about seven zhang tall, with a body as huge as a mountain. Its entire shell is the color of reddish-gold lava, with faint traces of flowing fire.
A pair of slender tentacles on its head resemble ribbons of flame, with thorny protrusions at the ends, containing potent fire poison that can corrode the demon king.
The two pairs of wings behind it were forged from the essence of the great sun, with blazing white flames swirling around the wing bones.
But compared to these, what chilled the Jade Purity cultivators present the most was that this giant beast had six legs condensed with fire, its stomping on the ground was silent, and the vast aura surrounding it was like the blazing sun, unstoppable.
This is a peak demon king with 7999 years of cultivation, just one step away from perfection!
Jiang Chuan Zhenjun's eyes flickered, and he immediately detected the cultivation level of this demon king.
Honestly, if they were to confront each other head-on, he might not be able to suppress this peak demon king, and might even be defeated.
No wonder Jiang Xuanyang is so arrogant. If he could contract such a ferocious beast at this age and possess such cultivation, he would probably be even more arrogant than Jiang Xuanyang.
"What a magnificent and exotic beast!"
Chen Beiwu raised an eyebrow, and information about the beast flooded his mind.
【Name】：Sunset Firefly 【Attribute】：Fire (Yang)
[Bloodline]: Fourth-Order Supreme Grade [Cultivation]: 7999 years [Mystic Abilities]: Sunset in the Western Regions, Refining Truth with Extinction Fire, Fire Virtue Cricket Power, Four Extremes Meteor Shower —
[Introduction]: A fire-elemental mythical beast born from the essence of fire and the intensity of the setting sun. It has a domineering personality and can manifest the power of the great sun.
Although this beast is not listed on the Celestial Alliance's Heavenly Mystic Beast Ranking, if we only consider its combat power and disregard its bloodline inheritance, it can rival the top five Heavenly Mystic Beasts on the list.
"Woof!"
Sensing the aura of the setting sun fire cricket, Tie Dan stepped forward and stood in front of Chen Beiwu, his eyes solemn.
Jiang Xuanyang glanced at Tie Dan, his brows furrowing slightly, and looked directly at Chen Beiwu.
He felt looked down upon!
As everyone knows, Zhenwu Zhenjun's cultivation path is unique, and he has contracted with as many as four beasts, including a three-headed black dragon, a great sun black dog, a seven-tailed purple fox, and a five-qi vine.
When they fought, Chen Beiwu only sent out one Great Sun Black Dog, while the other three Fellowship Beasts were nowhere to be seen, which was definitely a sign of contempt.
"What a Zhenwu Zhenjun! He's even more arrogant than me!"
Thinking of this, Jiang Xuanyang's eyes turned cold, and he had no intention of exchanging pleasantries.
Since Chen Beiwu is so arrogant, he will use his profound techniques to force him to use all his strength before defeating him.
What... what's going on here?
Yu Zhaohua was slightly taken aback, and looked at Chen Beiwu with surprise in her eyes.
According to her understanding, Chen Beiwu is a steady person who never overestimates himself and has never underestimated his opponents.
"Could it be that Chen Beiwu is absolutely certain?"
Upon thinking of this, Yu Zhaohua's breath hitched, and she locked her divine sense firmly onto Tie Dan, trying to figure out what was going on.
No matter how she investigated, Tie Dan's current aura was only at the late stage of the Demon King realm, and his cultivation was at most 5,999 years, inferior to Canyang Huoqiong, making it difficult for him to win.
On the stage.
Without uttering a word, Jiang Xuanyang slowly raised his right hand and launched the first attack.
In an instant, the temperature of the world rose, and a surge of powerful fire-attribute spiritual energy rushed into Jiang Xuanyang's palm, making a hissing sound. Then, he struck Chen Beiwu with his palm.
This palm strike may seem ordinary, but it is actually the renowned supreme divine power of the Pure Yang Cave Heaven, inherited from the Pure Yang Daoist Venerable: the Pure Yang Palm.
This profound and mysterious art is easy to learn but difficult to master, far beyond the reach of Nascent Soul True Monarchs. Even among the countless True Monarch geniuses in the Pure Yang Cave Heaven, very few have been able to cultivate it successfully, and Jiang Xuanyang is one of them.
However, Jiang Xuanyang's cultivation level was low, and all he could control was a simplified version of the Pure Yang Palm, which was called the Pure Yang Void-Gathering Palm.
This palm strike is incredibly powerful. It can draw upon the strength of heaven and earth with one's own yang energy, absorb all laws into emptiness, and evolve into an extremely yang and powerful strike. It can easily crush a True Monarch of the same realm. Even Yu Zhaohua, who possesses the Fiery Dao Body, was defeated by this profound technique!
"Strange, why isn't Chen Beiwu reacting?"
Yu Zhaohua's pupils contracted slightly as she noticed Chen Beiwu standing with his hands behind his back, making no move whatsoever, as if the enormous hand covering the sky in front of him did not exist at all.
"court death!"
Upon seeing this, Jiang Xuanyang roared inwardly and activated his two profound abilities, Heavenly Eye and Heavenly Ear, raising his guard to the maximum.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.
Chen Beiwu's confident and calm demeanor is unlikely to be mere bluff; he must have something to rely on.
Even knowing this, Jiang Xuanyang had no intention of withdrawing the Pure Yang Absorbing Void Palm.
He wanted to see how Chen Beiwu would break through this palm strike; was he really going to just watch the Great Sun Black Dog die?
"Woof!"
The barking of dogs caused Jiang Xuanyang's expression to change slightly, sensing a strong sense of danger.
The Great Sun Black Dog roared, and crimson Nirvana Fire surged wildly from its head, back, limbs, and tail, stirring up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transforming into a majestic Dharma form that was beyond description.
The Great Heavenly Purification Prison Form was about ten thousand feet tall, its entire body made of crystal, and it was exceptionally majestic. It helped Tie Dan break through the barrier of his realm and instantly step into the peak of the Demon King realm.
Before this Dharma image, Jiang Xuanyang's Pure Yang Absorbing Void Palm was on the verge of collapse.
"Even the Demon King of the same realm could comprehend the Heavenly Dipper Dharma Form?"
Jiang Xuanyang didn't have time to think too much and called for the help of his fellow beast.
"cracking!"
The Sunset Fire Cricket opened its giant jaws, unleashing the power of Absolute Fire Refining True Profound Power, and swiftly bit towards the Great Heavenly Purification Prison Form.
The "Refining True Fire" technique, which can break fire magic and is invincible, failed to work for the first time in front of the Great Heavenly Purification Prison Form.
boom!
The giant jaws clashed head-on with the Great Heavenly Prison.
The Sunset Firefly trembled, quickly released its massive jaws and retreated violently, its eyes filled with disbelief.
How strange! What kind of Dharma image is this?
Logically speaking, even if a Nascent Soul Peak True Monarch unleashed his full power with a fire-attribute Heavenly Gang Dharma Form, it should have been able to bite through it in one bite. However, it was the other way around that it couldn't withstand the terrifying high temperature, and its giant jaws showed signs of melting.
This Dharma form is not right; it contains a special artistic conception. Could it be the Heavenly Gang Dharma form that has reached the initial stage of transformation?
Seeing that Chunyang Naxu Palm was defeated by the Black Dog Dharma Image, Jiang Xuanyang felt an increasing sense of crisis and did not hesitate to reveal his trump card.
The immortal arts are profound and mysterious, and pure Yang returns to oneness.
open!
Jiang Xuanyang formed a hand seal, and the Heavenly Gate of Flames opened behind him, revealing a celestial Dharma image.
His physical form was 14,000 feet tall, wearing a pure yang crown and a robe that draped in the morning sun, with each of his six arms holding a mysterious treasure.
One hand holds the sun wheel, the other a fire bell, one hand holds the sun bottle, one hand holds a fire ruler, one hand grasps the Fiery Sword, and the other hand is in a half-open grip.
At that moment, all six arms moved in unison, aiming at the setting sun and the fire cricket.
"cracking!"
With a hiss, the Sunset Fire Cricket merged with the Heaven-Burning Dharma, its body spinning with the sun wheel, its aura instantly surging to the peak of the Demon King realm. The terrifying pressure it emitted caused the wind and clouds of this place to change color, emitting a rumbling sound that could not bear the weight.
This is precisely the special immortal technique [Extreme Blazing Sun] that Jiang Xuanyang combined with his own cultivation of immortal techniques, using the Heavenly Gang Dharma Form and the innate profound power of the beast of the same kind, the Western Regions of the Setting Sun.
In the Cangyuan Realm, he once used this immortal technique to easily suppress and kill a Nascent Soul Perfected True Monarch level expert (Martial Ancestor Perfected).
Jiang Xuanyang was confident that even if Chen Beiwu had unparalleled talent, he would be powerless against the fierce setting sun.
boom!
boom!
boom!
As the setting sun dipped below the horizon, reaching its zenith, Chen Beiwu remained standing motionless, his hands clasped behind his back.
Immortal Techniques of Profound Understanding, Great Heavenly Purification, Divine Appearance of the Dharma Form, Sun-Swallowing Nirvana, Nine Luminaries Return to Truth!
At this moment, Tie Dan's aura surged at an unbelievable speed, breaking through the peak of the Demon King realm and boldly stepping into the perfect Demon King realm. Then, it opened its giant maw, causing the world to darken, and the fire cricket, which had transformed into a setting sun, let out a terrified roar.
In an instant, the sky and earth brightened again, and the clouds dispersed and the rain stopped.
Jiang Xuanyang coughed up blood, his energy plummeted, and he knelt on the ground, losing the connection with the Covenant Contract.
Immediately afterward, under his desperate gaze, Tie Dan let out a burp and slowly spat out half of a familiar wing bone.
"You—you ate the cricket?"
Jiang Xuanyang stared blankly, as if in a dream, finding it hard to accept.
He could accept his crushing defeat, but he could not accept the Sunset Firefly becoming a blood sacrifice and perishing!
