CHAPTER 814: CHAPTER 410: DID LIN BEICHEN LOSE?

"This technique not only helps me break through the Celestial Gate but also aids me in surpassing the so-called Death Gate Realm to enter the Mystic Sect. Let me witness your true Mystic Sect cultivation today!"

Zhou Kuangtian took a deep breath, his chest swelling as if inhaling the sun and moon, then exhaled leisurely.

A path of ice, a path of flame.

The two different energies swirled before him, each gathering in his left and right hands.

His hands’ skin, tender as a baby’s.

Returning to infancy!

In the Daoist Sect’s divine techniques, there indeed exists the art of rejuvenation, but those able to cultivate such a technique are extremely rare.

After the Celestial Gate opened, many divine techniques of the Daoist family were validated. Zhou Kuangtian, regarded as the foremost figure of the Southern School, had integrated the strengths of various sects to finally create an extremely peculiar divine technique.

Although Zhou Kuangtian was renowned as a Daoist sect scholar, his studies were vastly diverse. Xiang Dao of this place not only had the Daoist school but also various obscure schools.

Lin Beichen saw numerous traces on Zhou Kuangtian, indeed feeling the strong Daoist aura, yet it wasn’t pure.

"Noisy!"

Lin Beichen coldly snorted, pointing a finger before him.

From Jiulong Mountain, a clap of thunder echoed, clouds encircling the sky; a white cloud was instantly compressed by him, transforming into a grand Atmospheric Sword.

Lin Beichen gripped the void and gently swung downwards.

"Do you think... only you can wield thunderlight?"

Lin Beichen said indifferently.

The thunderlight Zhou Kuangtian summoned was produced by the friction of large-scale Spiritual Qi rotations, while Lin Beichen’s concentrated thunderlight came from above the Nine Heavens.

Though both were thunderlight, the power they generated was entirely different.

With a gentle swing of Lin Beichen’s thunderlight, it descended swiftly from the sky like a supreme sharp sword.

While Zhou Kuangtian felt a shiver across his whole body as if all vitality had been seized.

Not good!

Zhou Kuangtian was suddenly alarmed; the icy blue flame in his hands immediately fused, forming a yin-yang bagua-like disc that shielded above his head.

As he inhaled and exhaled Spiritual Qi, his fingers again pinched and calculated as if employing other laws.

Though only a few seconds passed, it was sufficient for Zhou Kuangtian.

A strange smile briefly flashed across his face, and he gently exhaled.

"Heavenly Sovereign, please descend upon me."

Zhou Kuangtian formed a seal with his palm, gently placed it on his forehead, and suddenly closed his eyes.

When he reopened his eyes, nine terrifying auras burst out from behind him.

Each aura was filled with dense Evil Qi.

The Evil Qi, like nine giant dragons, coiled around him, merging with the yin-yang bagua and icy blue flames overhead, instantly rushing towards Lin Beichen.

Zhou Kuangtian’s goal had never been to engage in magical combat with Lin Beichen but to claim Lin Beichen’s life.

Although the thunderlight Lin Beichen wielded was powerful, it undeniably originated from the Nine Heavens, with a weak point before him.

If he could charge before Lin Beichen, regardless of how strong Lin Beichen’s divine techniques were, defenses may be too late.

All the concepts transformed into reality, displaying one point: the world’s number one before him, though genuinely skilled, yet lacked battle experience in magical combat.

No matter how powerful the cultivation technique, preparing defensive measures in battle is essential, or after life and death, despite mighty divine powers, it ultimately becomes nothing but an illusion, entirely dissipating.

Lin Beichen looked calmly at Zhou Kuangtian; only now did he believe this foremost expert of Xiang Dao indeed had the qualification to assault the Mystic Sect.

Yet, Zhou Kuangtian’s method of assault left Lin Beichen mildly disappointed.

In his mind, a person challenging the Mystic Sect, whether or not breaking through the so-called Death Gate Realm, at least needed to understand Unity of Heaven and Man.

Namely, mastering the Five Elements Spiritual Qi completely and merging them to a certain realm.

In the process of understanding the Five Elements Spiritual Qi, gradually finding the most suited path for one’s cultivation.

Lin Beichen cultivated into the withered flourishing body; this was cultivating a suitable technique during the process of understanding Unity of Heaven and Man.

Lin Beichen, being the master of the Five Elements Spiritual Qi, naturally had no most compatible one; to him, any Spiritual Qi transformed into a Spirit Body was suitable.

But for others, this process was imperative.

Born incomplete, therefore strengths and weaknesses must be balanced.

However, the divine technique Zhou Kuangtian displayed once again took the shortcut, the most foolish path.

"Faced with death, you still dare to be distracted; aren’t you truly afraid of dying?"

Zhou Kuangtian roared angrily, and the nine Earth Evil Dragons behind him converged on his palm, transforming into a substantial Evil Qi Long Saber.

After gripping the saber, all the aura around Zhou Kuangtian infused into the long saber, then swung down forcefully.

With this swing, Zhou Kuangtian’s previously rejuvenated body turned withered and bark-like again.

After the strike, he couldn’t even manage to look at Lin Beichen’s fate before flopping heavily to the ground.

The thunderlight aimed at him from above the Nine Heavens dissipated with a rumble.

Without looking up, Zhou Kuangtian sensed the dispersal of the thunderlight’s power, a weary smile forming at the corners of his mouth.

He didn’t need to see Lin Beichen to know his current state.

The saber he just swung was named ’Sea Dry and Stone Rotten’.

Being struck by it meant, even for those possessed of genuine Mystic Sect cultivation, survival was impossible.

He aggregated the best of all sects and the lives of their top masters.

The experts he targeted not only had to reveal their learned cultivation techniques but also transfer their entire cultivation to him.

One’s cultivation is the foundation, moreover, a secret not passed down; how could it be entirely shared with him?

No one knew this secret, but under a barrage of propaganda, the common folk believed these individuals to have a gentleman’s association with Zhou Kuangtian.

These people, enthralled by Zhou Kuangtian’s talent, voluntarily offered their own learnings.

But only Zhou Kuangtian knew.

These individuals were unyielding, and it was only after many tortures, utterly breaking their will, that he used bizarre techniques to extract their cultivation secrets forcefully.

Cultivation techniques are their family’s utmost secrecy, revealed over a hundred deaths, impossible.

These people, tortured to shapelessness by him, with grievances unvented in their chest cavities, couldn’t die peacefully even at the end.

And Zhou Kuangtian didn’t spare the dead.

He consolidated their grievances into a special secret technique, carried on him.

While battling experts, this was his final deadly move.

The saber he just swung towards Lin Beichen did not merely represent his all-out attack but also contained the collective grievances and strength of over a hundred super masters.

Lin Beichen absolutely died, couldn’t still be alive.

Once he killed Lin Beichen, he could truly attempt the Mystic Sect and continue researching with Lin Beichen’s corpse.

A truly Mystic Sect-crossing super master’s real strength, how strong precisely?

The value of their corpse is immense, simply immeasurable!

Zhou Kuangtian’s indescribable joy at heart, couldn’t help but lick his lips, planning to stand up for an inspection.

However, when he looked up, he saw a misty sky ahead, Lin Beichen’s body obscured among the fog, somewhat indistinct.

The power of this saber was so immense that it cleaved off a section of Jiulong Mountain’s peak directly.

From the mountain’s base, fog suddenly enveloped Jiulong Mountain, seemingly earth-shaking, hard to observe.

The crowd was chaotic, Liu Yunxi and others looking tense.

"It was fine just now, why is there an earthquake suddenly?"

Someone shouted amidst the crowd.

But as soon as they spoke, another shout came from beside them.

"Look quickly, someone seems to be flying in the sky."

Upon hearing this, people hurriedly looked up.

In the clouds mist above Jiulong Mountain, something seemed to slowly descend.

People quickly took out phones or spotting equipment to observe closely, yet found the shadow elusive, seemingly glowing.

How could someone be navigating the skies, and how could one emit light from nothing?

The crowd put down their phones, thinking it merely a bizarre weather phenomenon.

However, cultivators gazing at that silhouette looked immensely shocked.
