Chapter 1685: Long Rainbow Asks the Dao

The strength achieved after refinement in the Emperor Cauldron was clearly far superior to that of the Jade Bone Divine Sword. The Cold Spring Divine Sword, forged from these materials, boasted a strength significantly beyond that of ordinary divine artifacts, potentially even reaching the extraordinary quality of a Heaven-Born Prime Divine Artifact.

Upon hearing the Sword Immortal's guidance, Xu Yang grew restless. He certainly wouldn't let slip such a rare and heaven-sent opportunity. A smile gradually broadened on his face, and his eyes became remarkably sharp.

"The one sealed beneath the lotus platform must be the Supreme Living Fossil Elder from the Misty Rain Royal Family's lineage. Come out and face me."

Xu Yang's voice was remarkably calm, but the opponent offered no sufficient response. Losing patience, Xu Yang sneered, stomped his foot, and unleashed an incredibly powerful ice-cold sealing force from his Cold Spring Sword Soul behind him.

With just a casual swing of his sword soul's outline, a glacial blue sword beam shot towards the jade throne before him.

The moment the two forces collided, the throne itself emitted a protective light resembling a turtle shell in form and pattern. This peculiar, entirely silver-white defensive aura actually managed to block the Cold Spring's sword beam.

"Heh, interesting. As expected of a Supreme Living Fossil who has transcended the boundless realm. To achieve such a level of physical defense, I can't wait to use your bones to forge my own sword."

Xu Yang began to get serious, swiftly forming hand seals. A powerful aura instantly erupted, materializing countless dragon totems around his body in an instant.

Simultaneously, the Eternal Sword Radiance began to exert its power, with colossal and transparent sword qi appearing out of thin air in the void, one after another.

In conjunction with the continuously surging and roaring dragon totems surrounding him, each Eternal Sword Radiance, aided by its corresponding dragon soul, coalesced into the most potent attacking force, surging towards the turtle-shell-shaped protective light.

"I'd like to see how many rounds of my attacks your one-sided defense can withstand."

Xu Yang was filled with confidence in his own strength and, conversely, began to disdain the opponent's defensive, "turtle-like" fighting style.

As expected, in just a few rounds, the silver-white turtle-shell defensive aura was shattered to pieces by Xu Yang's impregnable offensive. The outer protective light collapsed, and the incredibly transparent Divine Lotus Throne was next to face the attack.

This time, however, the Supreme Living Fossil's physical body, which had been sealed, did not continue to feign death. Instead, it directly opened its eyes and used its body to shield the White Jade Lotus Platform from all incoming attacks.

"Young man, you truly show no regard for our Supreme Elders. The inheritance of the Six Human Spirit Meridians is not a place where you can act recklessly."

Xu Yang could sense that the one speaking within the physical body was not the Supreme Elder's complete soul power. The true, complete Supreme Soul should be guarding the will of the Supreme God and would never easily depart without special circumstances.

The Supreme Elder's body being manipulated and engaging him in battle was merely a phantom soul of the Supreme Elder. While its strength was far from that of the Supreme Elder's true soul possessing the body, at this moment, as long as the opponent could wield the inherent power of this physical body, it would achieve the desired effect.

Sword qi, accompanied by dragon roars, pierced the Supreme Elder's physical body again and again, demonstrating the immense power of Xu Yang's Eternal Sword Radiance.

Yet, after enduring so many direct attacks, the opponent did not turn to ash. Instead, in the shortest possible time, their bodily energy rapidly recovered, and they reappeared before Xu Yang in the complete form of a human.

"Heh, interesting. Your recovery ability has exceeded my expectations. This isn't just the result of the Immortal Victory Method. The real reason is that you've bound the life force within your physical body to the White Jade Lotus Platform behind you.

This allows you, to a certain extent, to directly share the life force granted by the Undying Divine Lotus through your physical body. It seems the biggest parasite on this Undying Divine Lotus is you, old geezer."

The elder burst into laughter. "I know you envy me, but there's nothing that can be done. My life force was born the moment the power inheritance of the Six Human Spirit Meridians appeared. The Undying Divine Lotus has always belonged to me. No one, apart from the will of the Supreme God, can make me share this power."

Xu Yang scoffed and, without further hesitation, twelve angelic wings rapidly appeared behind him. His entire being became enveloped by dazzling laws of light. At this moment, he looked like a lofty celestial god.

"I don't know who gave you such confidence, but I, Xu Yang, have never failed to obtain what I desire, and today will be no different.

Next, I will separate this minor Divine Lotus from the White Jade Lotus Platform, and then devour your physical body along with the White Jade Divine Lotus. I want to see what methods you still have to stop me."

After Xu Yang finished speaking, powerful laws of light swiftly took effect. Countless golden rays, combined with Xu Yang's Eternal Sword Dao, unleashed an incredibly potent force.

Wherever the golden light filled the sky, it was where Xu Yang's sword aura converged. In just one encounter, an overwhelming torrent of sword qi rapidly descended.

Endless sword beams relentlessly battered the seemingly indestructible physical body of the Supreme Living Fossil before him.

Xu Yang continued to destroy the body, while the opponent constantly mobilized their life force for recovery during the assault.

It must be said that the ultimate realm of the Immortal Victory Method truly reached the limits of human physical repair. Coupled with the fact that this individual was backed by the Undying Divine Lotus, it was almost impossible to kill the opponent with mere ceaseless attacks.

Xu Yang realized that his current offensive had not yet reached its peak destructive effect. Therefore, he decided not to waste any more time and decisively summoned his most powerful attacking sword soul, the Roaming Sword Soul.

"Let me show you what the most ultimate path of slaughter in this world truly is."

"Long Rainbow Seeks the Dao!"

The moment Xu Yang uttered the four words, "Long Rainbow Seeks the Dao," a brilliantly magnificent and world-shaking long rainbow materialized across the entire sky.

As this light of rosy clouds stirred the entire firmament, an unending torrent of sword qi, like a breaching river, rapidly converged in the direction guided by the long rainbow, piercing downwards towards the opponent's main body.

"Such powerful sword qi!"

Even though the old man was a venerable Supreme Living Fossil, he ultimately could not remain still.

Undoubtedly, this was the most formidable sword dao sharpness he had witnessed in hundreds of thousands of years. Faced with an attack of this caliber, even he dared not show any negligence.
