Xu Le has enormous ambitions. He forged seven arrows, each corresponding to a human, demon, ghost, monster, immortal, god, and finally... Heaven!
The phoenix's eyes gradually closed, and after emitting a desperate cry, its body and soul were completely devoured, turning into a phoenix skeleton.
After the long arrow was completely absorbed, it circled in the air several times before shooting straight into the sky and disappearing as a speck of light.
"The phoenix... the phoenix is dead, an ominous sign!"
The gatekeepers on the city gate saw the phoenix's death, were stunned at first, and then screamed in terror...

Chapter 261: Immortal
Xu Le stood proudly with his bow in hand, gazing at the sky. An arrow pierced the air and stopped right in front of him, where he caught it in his hand.
The long arrow and the withering slowly echoed each other, and several streaks of crimson blood energy floated out from the arrow and flew into the bow.
In addition to strengthening the arrows, the bow also gains strength from the blood energy within them, continuously increasing in power. Although the rate of strengthening is slow, over time it can transform into an extremely powerful divine artifact, capable of rivaling even the mythical divine bow.
"Has it started yet?!"
Xu Le put away his longbow and turned his gaze to Dugu Yuyun. The sword intent in his eyes was rampant, and several sword beams were wrapped around his body. Although the aura was terrifying, it was not too sharp. Instead, it had a kind of gentle and compliant quality.
"Explain the principles, and verify them with yourself! Like a fish leaping over the dragon gate, you transform from mortal to immortal!"
The Sword Saint moved, suddenly brandishing his longsword. It wasn't fast; instead, it was as slow and deliberate as a mortal wielding a sword. It lacked any imposing or domineering aura; instead, it appeared gentler.
Xu Le's eyes followed the Sword Saint's movements closely. Witnessing someone else become an immortal was a great inspiration to him, even though the systems were different.
The Sword Saint's eyes were half-open, and the protective aura around his body slowly dissipated. He looked like an old mortal wielding a sword, his gaze devout as he looked at it. At this moment, the sword in his hand seemed to have come to life, and the two reflected each other, like the two poles of a magnet attracting each other.
"I, Dugu Yuyun, have cultivated until now, and have finally become an immortal!"
As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds gathered in the sky, like a battle formation approaching. The world seemed to be covered with a black veil, the light dimmed, and blue and white lightning snaked across the sky.
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning, several meters thick, came with the divine power of heaven to judge. The Sword Saint held his sword and, facing the surging lightning serpent, twisted his wrist and thrust his sword forward.
Not too fast, not too slow! Neither urgent nor leisurely!
The sword and the man become one. When the longsword comes into contact with the divine thunder, the principle of "the highest good is like water" transforms into a domain to protect the body, shattering the thunder and breaking it into tiny electric currents that dissipate into the air.
The dark clouds in the sky grew increasingly heavy, seemingly pressing down dozens of meters, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense. Several bolts of lightning intertwined and struck down, only to be dispersed by the Sword Saint's longsword.
After several attempts, the thunder stopped, but a single point continued to surge in, accompanied by deafening thunderous roars and flashes of blue and white lightning demonstrating its power.
Rumble!
The massive lightning pillar, tens of feet wide, shot straight down like a mountain pressing down. The sword saint beneath it was like an ant, trying to stop a chariot with his bare hands!
"Throughout my life, I have been loyal to the sword, and my heart has been for the sword!"
The swordsman seemed to be murmuring, or perhaps going mad, as the ribbon binding his hair came loose, and his long hair was casually draped behind him, dancing in the wind under the divine might.
Suddenly, several phantom figures appeared, wielding swords in the void. Some were young, some were old, some were joyful, and some were sorrowful. The phantom figures merged together through the swords. A small sword stood upright in the Sword Saint's pupils, just like the long sword in his hand. Time seemed to flow backward, returning to the time when he first practiced swordsmanship and learned the first technique.
prick!
He focused his energy in his dantian, twisted his waist, clenched his right hand, and coordinated his wrist movements with the use of his strength. The teacher's earnest teachings echoed in his ears. The swordsman's vision was covered by white light, and he thrust out his longsword with a fierce thud.
Bang bang bang!
The disintegrating electric column spread outwards, destroying everything within a hundred meters of the Sword Saint, causing it to sink several meters and creating a huge crater.
"Immortal..."
He murmured softly. His clothes were so tattered that he looked worse than a beggar on the street, but his expression was calm and his demeanor was extraordinary.
Snap!
Like the sound of an eggshell cracking, a white aura swirled around the Sword Saint. Although it was only a wisp, it carried a vast energy fluctuation and grew at a terrifying speed.
The white mist enveloped the Sword Saint's body. In the haze, the Sword Saint's skin repelled a large amount of black impurities, and his body exploded like firecrackers. His tendons, veins, bones, and blood underwent changes, transforming into another life state. His soul began to condense and transform, turning into an immortal soul, several times stronger than before.
Click click click click!
There is a difference between immortals and mortals. Although the Sword Saint has the form of a human, his body carries great power and his blood contains energy that can be called a rare treasure. His lifespan has increased hundreds of times, and he can witness the changes of the world.
The white mist around the Sword Saint's body slowly dissipated, and he opened his eyes. Everyone who met his gaze felt a pricking sensation, sharp and piercing.
"Congratulations, fellow Daoist! However, while becoming an immortal is a good thing, it seems that the mysterious person is already preparing to destroy the Demon-Locking Tower!"
Xu Le said with a smile, "Just as I finished speaking, a huge, continuous impact came from the direction of the back mountain. It must be the mysterious person attacking the Demon Locking Tower."
The Sword Saint frowned slightly. He wanted to subdue this unbridled man, whose heart was like a demon, and imprison him in the Demon-Locking Tower. However, faced with Xu Le's amused smile, he dared not make a move. His intuition told him that if he did, Xu Le might not die, but he would definitely pay a heavy price.
The Sword Saint's mind raced, and he abandoned the idea of attacking Xu Le. As soon as the thought arose, his longsword flew beneath his feet, transforming into a beam of sword light as he fled towards the back mountain.
Xu Le's gaze was deep, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth, and he disappeared from the spot in a flash, leaving with the Sword Saint.
Behind the mountain, the outer layer of the Demon-Locking Tower is held together by iron chains, and countless talismans are pasted on the tower. A large amount of the power of the five elements and the power of sealing are gathered on it, transforming into infinite power to suppress the ten layers of demons.
The mysterious figure floated in the air with his feet off the ground, his body shrouded in black mist. He transformed into a giant hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it against the Demon-Locking Tower, but it was blocked by the Demon-Locking Tower's defensive array.
Bang bang bang!
The violent hammering sounds echoed in all directions. Although the Demon-Locking Tower absorbed the power of the five elements to stabilize itself, it was still in grave danger from this terrifying impact. Cracks appeared in the protective shield. Although it was repaired very quickly, as the hammering became faster and faster, the power was continuously consumed, and the shield became weaker and weaker.
