Chapter 2049
"At this moment, you should use your own Dao foundation as a guide to merge your soul energy with the origin of the divine sword. Don't be impatient for quick results..." Chen Xuan nodded, a smile playing on his lips. Slaughtering the demons of the entire nebula was certainly mentally taxing, but it also laid a solid foundation for the six Northern Darkness Divine Swords to become imperial weapons. This deal was a sure win.
This state of plundering and tempering continued for nearly a month. To eliminate any future troubles, Chen Xuan simply activated the Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, letting the flames follow the blood clouds to invade the stars below. Whether it was the demons hiding in the cave or the ferocious demonic beasts raised by their clans, they were all reduced to ashes in the karmic fire.
As the last wisp of chilling aura dissipated, the year-and-a-half-long battle finally came to an end—Chen Xuan single-handedly slaughtered all the strange creatures in this nebula.
Such a record is something that even powerful beings in the Celestial Immortal Realm or True Immortal Realm who roam the void might not be able to achieve.
As the last eerie creature fell, the barrier formed by the entire nebula finally gave way and shattered with a crisp sound.
With a whoosh, streaks of milky-white divine light suddenly shot into the sky from the core of the nebula, tearing through the blood clouds like the dawn's first light, causing the surrounding stars to scatter in all directions. The originally chaotic void was instantly enveloped in a holy halo.
The next moment, the void was torn apart like silk, and a huge rift slowly opened, from which an enormous white lotus slowly bloomed. The white lotus petals were layered upon layered, each petal flowing with the charm of immortals, and the milky white divine light it emitted could purify all evil. It was firmly solidified in the center of the nebula, like a deity born from the void.
A dazzling light burst forth in Chen Xuan's eyes, his joy barely concealed: "The Purifying White Lotus! It really is it! Although it lacks a bit of the primordial aura of the innate white lotus, it must be the acquired Purifying White Lotus that Master spoke of, which was nurtured from the divine essence of that emperor after his death!"
"With this white lotus, I can immediately condense the fifth strand of immortal energy—the Purifying Immortal Energy!"
Chen Xuan couldn't wait to separate a wisp of his divine soul, which transformed into a beam of white light and probed towards the Pure World White Lotus.
Just as the soul was about to touch the petals, ripples suddenly appeared in the void to the west and east, and a familiar wave of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth suddenly spread out.
Immediately afterwards, a figure clad in black armor stepped out of the air. The armor was engraved with ferocious dragon patterns, and he held a long spear, the tip of which emitted a sharp light capable of piercing through the void.
On the other side, a stunningly beautiful woman appeared, dressed in a white fairy-like robe adorned with starlight. Her blood-red divine sword trembled slightly, radiating a chilling killing intent.
Their gazes immediately locked onto the Pure World White Lotus in the center of the void, their eyes filled with shock. They exclaimed in unison, "It is truly as recorded in ancient texts, that a Pure World White Lotus was born here!"
But when they caught sight of the blood-stained, murderous-looking youth standing before Bai Lian, their brows furrowed simultaneously, and their divine senses boomed like thunder in Chen Xuan's ears: "Young man, stop! How dare you lay a finger on such a divine object? If you dare to make another move, you will be annihilated in an instant!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan slowly withdrew his divine soul, his murderous aura instantly receding, replaced by a more solemn expression. He turned to look at the two, a cold smile playing on his lips: "What? We're both human, and seeing me obtain a divine artifact, you're going to resort to murder and robbery?"
He had already sensed their cultivation levels—the man in black was surrounded by the power of the complete Great Dao of Gale, while the woman controlled the essence of the complete Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Clearly, they were both top-tier beings from other realms and holy lands, with unfathomable strength.
The two men slowly stepped forward, forming a three-way standoff with Chen Xuan.
They exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with wariness—clearly, they were not on the same side, and might even have come from opposing realms. In the face of Chen Xuan, this "outsider," they were each other's greatest threat.
Chen Xuan understood. He had just gone through a year and a half of fierce battles. Although his aura was stable, his Dao foundation had weakened by three points.
He smiled and took a step back, lowering his posture slightly: "You two have come at the right time. I have just wiped out all the strange creatures in this nebula. Since you are here, I will concede and only ask for a portion of the divine substance and will emitted by the Pure World White Lotus. I will not touch its body."
The two men frowned slightly, but neither spoke. In their view, Chen Xuan's concession was certainly sensible, but such a divine object as the Acquired Pure World White Lotus was naturally a matter of chance for those who obtained its true form; the young man before them was no longer their primary target.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan said no more. He turned around and stepped to the outer edge of the Pure World White Lotus. He quickly made hand seals with his fingertips, and golden staff shadows appeared, forming the Fuxi Staff Formation to envelop himself and the white lotus.
He took out several jade bottles and poured all the pills and rare herbs inside into his mouth. The rich spiritual energy exploded in his body, quickly repairing his depleted magic power and divine power.
However, the mental and physical exhaustion brought about by more than a year of fierce fighting is like a deep-seated ailment that cannot be easily repaired by elixirs.
He had intended to reap the benefits while waiting for the two to fight before making his move, but the next moment, two powerful pressures suddenly locked onto him!
Chen Xuan's face darkened, and he suddenly looked up to see the man in black and the woman in white attacking him at the same time. The sharpness of the spear and the killing intent of the divine sword intertwined to form a net that stretched from heaven to earth!
"Hmph, I underestimated your vigilance!" Chen Xuan snorted coldly, his spiritual power suddenly erupting, the Northern Darkness Divine Sword and the Thousand Evils and Myriad Souls Banner simultaneously protecting him. "Since that's the case, then let's settle this with a single battle!"
Upon hearing Chen Xuan's unfriendly question, both the black-armored youth and the white-feathered girl stood indifferently outside the protective array.
The two seemed to sense that the array Chen Xuan had set up was a complete array formation with the power of the Great Dao. They clearly did not want to completely offend such a formidable opponent.
"Fellow Daoist, if you are to give up the fight for the Pure World White Lotus, please make a Heavenly Oath. Otherwise, we don't want a variable lurking in the shadows." The armored youth with the gun spoke in a cold voice, clearly worried that Chen Xuan would intervene after the two had decided their fate.
“Indeed, fellow Daoist, I am determined to obtain this Pure World White Lotus. If you know what to do, then swear an oath to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, don’t blame us for disregarding our kinship.” Although the white-clad girl’s tone was not as cold as the boy’s, her words left no room for Chen Xuan to negotiate.
Listening to their conversation from within the great formation, Chen Xuan chuckled and said, "I never imagined that one day I, Chen Xuan, would encounter such a thing. All the strange creatures and their descendants within this vast nebula have just been slaughtered by me, and you two come here just to pick up the pieces?"
Chen Xuan glanced at the two of them and said with a cold laugh, "Do you really think I, Chen Xuan, am easy to bully?"
