Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 560: Dharma Aspect Apex

Shen Xuan’s decision to face True Master Wisdom Blade was well-considered.

Firstly, True Master Wisdom Blade had been seriously injured not long ago and couldn’t recover quickly.

This information was confirmed by Spirit Sword True Master.

The strength that True Master Wisdom Blade could exert was only half of what it used to be.

Definitely stronger than the Golden Core Middle Stage.

But not to the extent that Shen Xuan couldn’t resist.

Secondly, the battlefield was chosen above the East Sea.

To Shen Xuan, it was like a tiger gaining wings.

He was an Ice Technique Golden Core, who comprehended Ice Technique from Water Technique.

The East Sea was his home ground.

The vast ocean water was an inexhaustible source of Spiritual Power for him.

Thirdly, Shen Xuan possessed the Immortal Ice Lotus Divine Power, with extremely strong defense.

As long as he could withstand True Master Wisdom Blade’s attacks, over time, True Master Wisdom Blade wouldn’t be able to suppress his old injuries and would inevitably be defeated.

This was the path to victory that Spirit Sword True Master advised him.

Lastly, Shen Xuan could transform into a Flood Dragon, condensing the True Spirit Dharma Aspect of the Profound Ice Divine Dragon.

After using [Dragon Blood Boiling], the Flesh Body of the Profound Ice Divine Dragon would be strong and infinitely powerful, significantly boosting both offense and defense, enough to contend against Golden Core Late Stage.

However, the cost was severe, as it would continue to deplete his Lifespan.

For years, he had been cultivating prudently, avoiding trouble.

In any situation, Shen Xuan always remembered three considerations: consider danger, consider retreat, consider change.

He avoided danger, stayed hidden when he received attention, and thought flexibly when faced with difficulties.

He had always adhered to the principle of staying safe.

After witnessing Scholar Qianzhu’s demise with his own eyes.

Shen Xuan suddenly felt a sense of unresolved emotion.

He couldn’t yet achieve the supreme state of forgetting emotions and emptiness of the Five Aggregates.

A surge of nameless anger erupted.

It made him furious towards the Yan Country sects.

Simply to provide a place for the new True Masters of Yan Country sects, they waged war between the sects of two countries.

Countless cultivators and commoners lost their lives, many of whom were women and children.

In the regions of Song Country that fell, the economy collapsed, and both cultivators and commoners lived in hardship.

Because relatives died in the war, many people developed psychological issues.

All of this was brought about by the sects of Yan Country.

Shen Xuan was a Song Country native, born and raised there.

Emotionally, he still considered Song Country his homeland.

His friends and relatives were there.

Scholar Qianzhu’s demise deeply affected him.

Throughout one’s life, there are some things that must be upheld.

Now, he couldn’t achieve supreme emotional detachment.

The hatred in Shen Xuan’s heart suddenly exploded.

Unresolved thoughts would hinder cultivation.

Thus, Shen Xuan didn’t flee but actively chose to confront True Master Wisdom Blade.

Even if he wasn’t a match for True Master Wisdom Blade.

He wouldn’t avoid the battle and be subject to contempt and ridicule.

Moreover, in the deep sea, True Master Wisdom Blade should be unable to handle him.

"Wisdom Blade, do you dare to come down?"

Deep in the sea, the voice of the True Spirit Dharma Aspect of the Profound Ice Divine Dragon resonated clearly in everyone’s ears.

"Shen Xuan, do you dare to come up?"

True Master Wisdom Blade glanced at the True Spirit Dharma Aspect of the Profound Ice Divine Dragon deep in the sea and retorted.

He’s not foolish.

The Golden Core, fighting in the deep sea against an Ice Technique Golden Core, would be to make up for one’s weaknesses and attack the enemy’s strengths.

He definitely wouldn’t gain an advantage.

Shen Xuan thought to himself, these old foxes, none of them are simple-minded.

"Aren’t you seeking revenge against me? I’m right here, why don’t you dare come over?"

"Profound Ice, if you have the skill, come up!"

"Wisdom Blade, if you have the skill, come down!"

True Master Wisdom Blade’s face turned ashen with anger.

The True Masters of Badao Sect looked at each other in disbelief.

No one expected the battle between True Master Wisdom Blade and True Master Profound Ice to turn into such a situation.

"Senior Brother Ding Xian, how strong is that Profound Ice in the deep sea?"

True Master Ding Xian shook his head.

"Even in my case, facing him in the deep sea, I would have to proceed with caution."

He is one of the top Golden Core True Masters of Badao Sect.

He is actually above True Master Wisdom Blade.

Yet he still doesn’t dare to guarantee victory.

On the other side.

True Master Cold Jade could finally relax.

"Senior Brother Spirit Sword, isn’t Shen Xuan in an invincible position?"

Spirit Sword True Master nodded.

"More or less. Wisdom Blade shouldn’t go down to the sea. If he were to enter the sea, he might not be Shen Xuan’s match."

True Master Ling Xiao sighed and said, "I didn’t expect Junior Brother Profound Ice’s Body Refining Technique to be cultivated to such an extent!"

True Master Cold Jade pondered and remarked, "Shen Xuan carries the bloodline of True Monarch Shen, which is quite peculiar. His cultivation of Body Refining Technique seems to progress faster."

Spirit Sword True Master asked, "Has the Great Elder ever met him?"

"Yes, he has."

"What did he say?"

"Shen Xuan said that the Great Elder told him to cultivate well and gave him some guidance."

Spirit Sword True Master gazed intently at the battlefield where Shen Xuan stood, a smile slightly curling at his lips.

...

True Master Wisdom Blade and Shen Xuan remained in a standoff for over a dozen breaths.

"Fine, if you won’t come up, I’ll force you to!"

True Master Wisdom Blade hovered in the air, allowing the vast Spiritual Pressure of Golden Core Late Stage to be unleashed without restraint.

The massive golden blade floating in mid-air, inscribed with countless runes, gleamed brightly, emitting a formidable, sharp spiritual pressure.

"Shen Xuan, let me show you the Sect’s Ultimate Skill of Badao Sect!"

True Master Wisdom Blade roared, grasping the golden blade with both hands, and slashed down towards the deep sea.

" [Badao Slash] "

"Boom!"

A domineering and powerful dark-golden blade energy flashed past the blade’s edge.

The world lost its color.

The dark-golden blade energy, initially only a few inches long.

Raged and surged wildly.

By the time it touched the sea surface.

It had transformed into a sharp blade beam a hundred meters long.

Where the blade beam passed, space was torn with tiny cracks.

The sea water, under the pressure of the sharp blade intent, naturally parted to the sides.

Breaking mountains and splitting seas, unstoppable.

The blade gleamed with the weight of thousands of pounds, ruthlessly slashing towards the Profound Ice Divine Dragon in the depths of the sea.

The Profound Ice Divine Dragon showed no weakness.

In its icy dragon eyes, not only was there no sign of fear, but a fierce battle intent burned brightly.

Shen Xuan no longer held back, letting his vitality erupt around him.

[Dragon Blood Boiling]!

A violent destructive aura soared into the sky, the divine dragon’s murderous intent pervaded the surroundings, forming its own domain.

"Roar!"

The Profound Ice Divine Dragon let out a roar that reverberated through heaven and earth.

The dragon body soared into the air.

The seawater rapidly converged, forming a massive vortex, pouring into the strange golden cold iron rod.

The Profound Ice Divine Dragon grasped the strange golden cold iron rod with both claws, dark golden magic patterns continuously flashed, spreading violent destructive aura.

Then, the Profound Ice Divine Dragon swung the dazzling golden rod shadow, using the vast spiritual power of the sea, to forcefully compete with True Master Wisdom Blade’s dominant blade slash.

"Boom!"

The next moment.

The strange golden cold iron rod and the golden giant blade collided solidly together.

A majestic shock wave, centered at the collision point, burst and spread in all directions.

The seawater surged into hundred-foot tall waves.

The sea surface shook violently, splitting into countless abysses.

Golden light shone brightly, sparks flying, obscuring everyone’s divine sense.

Then, it gradually disappeared.

The golden giant blade’s spiritual light fluctuated, obviously dimming somewhat.

True Master Wisdom Blade’s face changed drastically.

He hadn’t expected that Shen Xuan, after transforming into a flood dragon, could withstand his dominant blade slash divine power.

Not only him.

None of the true masters present had expected that Shen Xuan would choose the simplest way to fight.

Which was the True Spirit Dharma Aspect, breaking through technique with force.

Concentrating the flesh body’s strength to the extreme, relying on the strange golden cold iron rod in hand to forcefully contend against True Master Wisdom Blade’s dominant blade slash divine power.

The Profound Ice Divine Dragon broke through True Master Wisdom Blade’s dominant blade slash with one swing, and let out a furious roar, numerous waves surging into its dragon body.

With the replenishment of the vast spiritual power of the sea, the Profound Ice Divine Dragon’s dragon body became more solid, its aura continuously rising.

"Body Refining Perfection, peak of Dharma Realm, not far from Divine Power Realm!"

True Master Wisdom Blade sensed the aura of the Profound Ice Divine Dragon, and his face became increasingly grim.

Had he known that Shen Xuan was a peak Dharma Realm body refining master, he shouldn’t have fought at this moment.

At least, wait until his injuries improved to have certain victory.

Now, he was already on the tiger’s back.

True Master Wisdom Blade snorted coldly, opened his mouth and spat out a red gourd.

This red gourd opened, from inside emerged a miniature golden dragon, emitting a hundred-foot golden light.

"Swift!"

With True Master Wisdom Blade’s shout.

The golden dragon opened its mouth, shooting a ghastly white cold light towards the reverse scale on the Profound Ice’s neck.

"Roar!"

The Profound Ice Divine Dragon was covered with a layer of celestial golden battle armor.

[Immortal Ice Lotus]!

A gigantic ice lotus phantom wrapped around the Profound Ice Divine Dragon.

The lotus petals flowed with Dao rhyme, crazily absorbing the sea’s spiritual power, solidifying the ice lotus phantom, evolving into substance.

The ghastly white cold light shot onto a jade-white lotus petal, its speed noticeably slowed.

Each inch forward appeared somewhat laborious.

Despite this, the ghastly white cold light still slowly flew.

Scarlet light flickered in the Profound Ice Divine Dragon’s eyes.

Then, the strange golden cold iron rod brought forth a dark golden afterimage, accurately hitting the ghastly white cold light.

"Ding!"

The ghastly white cold saber let out a mournful cry, flying back into the red gourd.

It turned out to be an immortal-slaying flying saber.

At this moment, Shen Xuan activated all his physical talent, [Dragon Blood Boiling] pushed to the limit, continuously burning lifespan.

Paying such a price, Shen Xuan would not let it end easily.

[Yin Yang Walking]!

The Profound Ice Divine Dragon broke through the void, instantly flying in front of True Master Wisdom Blade.

Letting out a roar, swinging the strange golden cold iron rod to smash down on True Master Wisdom Blade.

"Not good!"

True Master Wisdom Blade pinched a spell, using escape technique, transforming into a golden light, retreating hundreds of feet.

Even as a late-stage Golden Core, he wouldn’t want to fight a body refining master in close combat.

"Where do you think you’re going!"

Shen Xuan’s fury was unstoppable.

He had already used [Dragon Blood Boiling], depleting his lifespan.

True Master Wisdom Blade refused to directly take his attack.

With a crackling sound, the Profound Ice Divine Dragon’s body lit up with arcs of lightning.

[Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique]!

After transforming into a flood dragon, Shen Xuan’s thunder escape technique was even faster!

Perhaps this was related to the flood dragon itself being skilled in controlling thunder.

The golden light that True Master Wisdom Blade transformed into was quickly overtaken by the Profound Ice Divine Dragon.

True Master Wisdom Blade’s face was gloomy.

He hadn’t expected that Shen Xuan would know so many divine technique spells.

At this moment, he faintly regretted.

Rushing to fight without thoroughly investigating the opponent’s strength.

"Damn it, if my wounds were healed, I wouldn’t be so constrained!"

He had continually refrained from exerting full force.

Afraid of triggering the injuries, shaking the Golden Core.

Meanwhile, Shen Xuan was aggressive, giving him an inexplicable sense of panic.

Close combat with the Profound Ice Divine Dragon, he was sure to suffer.

"Fine, you’re forcing me!"

True Master Wisdom Blade’s expression darkened, he steadied himself.

Took out a blood-red spirit pill, swallowed it.

In an instant, his aura surged.

At this moment, the Profound Ice Divine Dragon swung the strange golden cold iron rod to strike.

True Master Wisdom Blade extended a finger.

[Dominant Blade Slash]!

The same divine power, its might greatly enhanced.

"Boom!"

The golden blade hung above True Master Wisdom Blade, forcibly blocking the strange golden cold iron rod.

The dazzling golden light flickered continuously.

The Profound Ice Divine Dragon was forcefully rebounded dozens of feet.

Retreating all the way.

A notch appeared on the strange golden cold iron rod.
