"Fire Qilin!" Di Shitian said coldly, "Do you think you can cause trouble at our Heavenly Gate just because you've subdued a Fire Qilin? You're courting death!"
"The Fire Qilin is nothing but something I look down on. If that Fire Qilin could grant immortality, I would have slaughtered it long ago. Why would I leave it for you to bring blessings?!"
It's not hard to tell from Indra's words that he had once coveted the Fire Qilin. However, he discovered that the Fire Qilin was useless to him, and that the Qilin's blood contained immense demonic and malevolent energy that would cause him to go mad.
The world of Fengyun is filled with countless hidden masters, and the Fire Qilin is not particularly powerful. If the Fire Qilin weren't so useless, it would have been killed long ago, just like the Phoenix and Xuanwu!
"I'm too lazy to waste words with you. A villain like you, Di Shitian, should be dealt with first." Wang Xuan didn't argue with Di Shitian and immediately started fighting.
Chapter 243 Slaughtering "Heaven"
Wang Xuan leaped off the back of the Fire Qilin and charged towards Di Shitian's location.
Because of the limitations of this world, he cannot unleash his full power; otherwise, it might cause some unseen change. If he wants to kill Indra, he would be better off engaging Indra in close combat, so that he can unleash the maximum destructive power of his limited strength.
Indra laughed angrily. He, Indra, who called himself "Heaven," was inherently arrogant. Now, someone dared to attack him—in his eyes, this was utterly courting death!
"A towering cliff piercing the clouds!"
With a cold shout from Di Shitian, countless ice blades instantly flew out from the glacier beneath his feet, sweeping towards Wang Xuan's vital points.
Emperor Shitian embraced the martial arts of all schools in the world of Fengyun and created the Sacred Heart Technique. Leaving aside the other methods within the Sacred Heart Technique, the most powerful killing techniques are the Four Sacred Heart Techniques and the Four Sacred Heart Tribulations.
The technique that Indra is now using is "Ten Thousand Blades Piercing the Clouds," one of the Four Sacred Heart Techniques. This killing move transforms ice into blades that soar straight into the sky and can pierce through the clouds.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Wang Xuan neither dodged nor evaded, letting the ice blades strike his body with muffled thuds.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Wang Xuan can't muster too much power. His physical strength is undeniable. Even if Di Shitian's attack power were increased tenfold, it wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on his head!
"How is this possible!" Di Shitian stared at the scene in horror, as if he had encountered a ghost, and exclaimed, "Even gods and demons who have cultivated the World-Destroying Demon Body to its fullest extent cannot withstand my attack with their physical bodies!"
“That’s right, none of this is real. What you just saw was an illusion!” Wang Xuan hovered over a hundred meters above Di Shitian’s head. He decided not to rush into action and teased Di Shitian with a playful tone.
"You're courting death!" Emperor Shitian was furious and unleashed his killing move once again.
"boom!"
In an instant, a real thunderclap exploded, engulfing Wang Xuan.
This is "Emperor's Heavenly Thunder," one of the four ultimate techniques of the Sacred Heart. It can turn ice into thunder, which explodes like thunder upon striking the enemy.
However, even the Heavenly Thunder could not have any effect on Wang Xuan, who was so unreasonable, and it couldn't even damage Wang Xuan's clothes in the slightest.
After Wang Xuan's Heavenly Silkworm Robe was destroyed, he reforged a white Daoist robe. The white Daoist robe he is wearing now looks understated yet luxurious, but it is actually a top-grade magic weapon. Even if all the divine weapons in the Fengyun World were used at full power, they could not damage it in the slightest.
"Where did this monster come from?!" Di Shitian roared inwardly, but still clung to the last glimmer of hope.
Since the newcomer's physical body is incredibly powerful, and ordinary attacks cannot harm him in the slightest, then we must find another way.
Fortunately, Emperor Shitian has not been idle over the years. In order to deal with the couple in the Search God Palace whose physical bodies are extremely powerful, Emperor Shitian created the Four Tribulations of the Sacred Heart in addition to the Four Absolutes of the Sacred Heart.
Indra's heart suddenly began to beat rapidly, like a giant drum, and the pounding could be heard even from a distance.
Wang Xuan remained completely calm. He sensed a strange force invading his body, trying to make his heart beat along with it.
Based on his understanding of the original novel, he naturally knew that this was Di Shitian's doing.
This is nothing more than the Heavenly Heart Tribulation in the Four Tribulations of Indra's Sacred Heart, which involves using one's own heart to influence the enemy's heart, causing the opponent's heart and soul to shatter violently.
If Wang Xuan wanted to stop it, he only needed to think about it, and that strange force would not be able to invade his body at all, and would not be able to have any effect on him.
However, Wang Xuan did not stop him, but allowed Di Shitian to unleash the Heavenly Heart Tribulation.
Indra sensed that he had succeeded in his Heavenly Tribulation and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
Most body cultivators may have incredibly strong physical bodies, but their internal organs are quite fragile, at least in the world of Fengyun.
With the blessing of the phoenix's essence blood, Di Shitian believed himself to be immortal and indestructible, and naturally had the confidence to exchange injuries with Wang Xuan.
"Thump! Thump thump! Thump thump thump!"
They stared at each other, their hearts pounding rapidly, nearly a thousand times a minute.
If an ordinary person's heart were beating like that, it would have exploded long ago, but Wang Xuan showed no signs of distress.
"puff!"
A moment later, Di Shitian spat out a mouthful of blood, his face extremely gloomy, and tried to escape by breaking through the ice.
Although he had only exchanged a few blows with Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan had taken all his attacks without dodging or avoiding them, and had not suffered any harm. On the contrary, he himself had suffered some minor injuries.
Now that things have come to this, how could Indra not see that he had run into a brick wall? This arrogant fellow who appeared out of nowhere was far stronger than Indra himself!
There's a saying that the longer people live, the more afraid they are of death, and there's some truth to that. Back then, Di Shitian was defeated and forced to flee by the invincible Ten Strong Warriors, and lay low for over two hundred years, not daring to cause any trouble. Now that he knows Wang Xuan is no match for him, Di Shitian turns and runs without hesitation, not caring at all about losing face in front of Luo Xian.
"If you want to escape, you'll have to ask me first." Wang Xuan flashed forward and approached Di Shitian from behind at an extremely fast speed, punching him in the back.
Di Shitian was sent flying more than a thousand meters away by this punch. If it weren't for the phoenix blood essence that quickly restored his injuries, he would have been crippled even if he hadn't died!
Seeing Wang Xuan closing in again, Di Shitian was terrified and used his last trump card, the halberd.
"The Tribulation of Gods!"
This secret technique uses the primordial spirit as a weapon and is the strongest of the four tribulations of the Sacred Heart.
No matter how powerful your physical body becomes, if your soul is not strong enough, you will be destroyed by this one move!
Wang Xuan neither dodged nor evaded, taking Di Shitian's attack head-on, and even actively sending his own primordial spirit to meet it...
The final result was obvious: Di Shitian used his own primordial spirit as a weapon to attack Wang Xuan's primordial spirit, but how could a dancer at the fifth-order Celestial Realm possibly shake the primordial spirit of a seventh-order god and demon?
On the contrary, Indra's magic failed, and he suffered a powerful backlash, becoming dazed and frozen in place.
Wang Xuan was speechless. He hadn't even made a move yet, and Di Shitian had already gotten himself into trouble.
He walked directly in front of Indra, grabbed Indra's head with one hand, and used his divine sense to examine Indra's memories.
Whether it's the previous Shu Mountain world or the mythical Three Kingdoms world, there are special methods for searching souls.
Di Shitian's face was blank. His primordial spirit had been severely damaged and would not recover without ten days to half a month of rest. He could only let Wang Xuan do as he pleased.
Chapter 244 Luring the Dragon in the East Sea
Di Shitian was captured by Wang Xuan and his soul was searched. The goddess Luo Xian opened her mouth, hesitated, but ultimately did not make a move.
She knew that if she dared to make a move, the end result would be that she would have to be buried with Indra.
The Divine Mother Luo Xian was self-aware enough. Di Shitian could easily kill her, let alone an unparalleled powerhouse whose strength far surpassed Di Shitian's. She simply couldn't contend with him.
Wang Xuan completely ignored Luo Xian. After thoroughly reviewing Di Shitian's memories, he directly destroyed Di Shitian's soul as well.
He had indeed seen some strange things in Indra's memories.
For example, more than two thousand years ago, Di Shitian was just a wandering Taoist priest with ordinary cultivation. He only obtained the Phoenix Blood Essence after tens of thousands of Qin soldiers wore down the Phoenix Divine Beast.
But Xu Fu was just an ordinary person before, so how could he know that the essence of the phoenix could grant immortality?
You should know that there is only one phoenix in the entire world of Fengyun. Before killing that phoenix, who let Di Shitian know that consuming the essence blood of the phoenix can grant immortality?
Similarly, in the world of Fengyun, there is only one Azure Dragon. Before killing that Azure Dragon and refining the Dragon Essence, who would know that the Dragon Essence could make people immortal and ageless?
All of this seems to be influenced by an invisible force, subtly affecting Indra.
"Is it Nuwa, or the Great Sun Tathagata?" Wang Xuan pondered for a moment, but suddenly his expression changed, and he looked down at his feet.
The Emperor Shitian, who had been beaten to the point of annihilation, was now alive again and slowly regaining his vitality.
"This phoenix blood essence is so strange that it can even bring back to life those whose souls have been scattered!" Wang Xuan's expression changed several times, but in the end, he still slammed down with his palm, smashing Di Shitian's head into a pulp.
If he could use all his power, even if the phoenix blood essence was incredibly powerful and bizarre, Di Shitian, whose soul he had destroyed, would not be able to be resurrected.
Because even if a being at the God-Demon realm were to make a move, it would be an annihilation at the level of laws!
The reason why Di Shitian was able to be resurrected is less due to the power of the phoenix blood essence and more due to the fact that Wang Xuan did not use enough power.
"Don't you possess the essence of the phoenix, enabling you to be reborn from the ashes? Then I'll extract all the essence of the phoenix from your body and see how you can be reborn without it!"
Wang Xuan's face was full of ruthlessness, and Samadhi True Fire swirled in his palm, enveloping Di Shitian within it.
A moment later, Di Shitian had completely vanished from the world, and Wang Xuan held a fist-sized ball of crimson blood in his hand, which looked like a burning flame.
Needless to say, this blood is the essence of the phoenix.
After dealing with Di Shitian, Wang Xuan turned to the goddess Luo Xian beside him and said calmly, "I'll leave Tianmen to you. I don't want to hear any more news about Tianmen causing trouble in the world."
"This junior will follow your teachings, senior. From now on, there will be no more Heavenly Gate in this world," Luo Xian said respectfully to Wang Xuan.
The Heavenly Gate Goddess was filled with complex emotions. Although Emperor Shitian was her master and there was some affection between them, his death meant she no longer had to live in constant fear, and she felt a sense of relief.
Even though Luo Xian was his disciple, a twisted soul like Di Shitian would kill her if he displeased her. Luo Xian was always on edge, afraid of doing something wrong and angering Di Shitian.
Wang Xuan did not linger here. He even killed Di Shitian, so naturally there was nothing in Tianmen that could attract him to stay.
He rode the fire-breathing qilin on his journey once more, this time heading towards the East Sea.
He had previously searched Di Shitian's soul and learned where the Azure Dragon was hiding.
If it were a martial artist from the world of Fengyun, no matter how powerful their cultivation, they would have to wait until the auspicious day that occurs once every six hundred years before they could carry out the act of slaying the dragon.
But Wang Xuan was different. He had traveled through many worlds, including several mythological worlds, and had accumulated countless rare treasures.
For example, he has a "dragon's saliva grass" in his spatial ring, which can have a fatal attraction to dragons.
This is because this dragon's saliva grass can help dragons temper their bloodline, making their bloodline closer to that of the divine dragon!
"Fine, regardless of whether these four sacred beasts are a hidden weapon deliberately left behind by someone, they are indeed a good thing. They contain the origin of the world. After I take them, I will throw them directly to the Xuan Tian World to devour."
With these thoughts in mind, Wang Xuan arrived in the East China Sea.
Within this vast East China Sea lies an island, whose inhabitants call themselves Dragon Island and consider themselves guardians of the Azure Dragon.
Of course, the Azure Dragon didn't take them seriously at all. In the original story, when the Azure Dragon appeared, it ate many of the island's inhabitants.
Wang Xuan had no intention of meeting with the island's inhabitants. He submerged his entire body hundreds of meters underwater and took out the Dragon Saliva Grass from his spatial ring.
As soon as the ambergris appeared, a strange fragrance permeated the seawater, affecting an area of hundreds of miles around.
Before long, several golden carp rushed over and opened their mouths to bite the dragon's saliva grass.
