Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

"Heaven-Sundering Palm!"

"Chaotic Demon Celestial Spirit Hammer!"

"Chaotic Heaven Ancient Seal!"

Boom!

Crash!

Blazing, resplendent spiritual light surged forth like a vast ocean, roiling in seething flames, wildly rising, ferociously bursting in all directions, shaking the four corners of the mountains and fields as if they might shatter!

Palm winds thundered, deafening the ears!

The chaotic hammer shadows crisscrossed, woven like a net of heaven and earth with no rhyme or reason, their tempestuous might suffocating all!

There was also a terrifying ancient seal, primordial and vast, as if even the very vault of heavens were dragged down to crash!

The three surged forth brutally, each displaying their Divine Techniques, unleashing everything against Xu Yang.

In these three's eyes, the aged and decrepit Xu Yang was already a dead man!

"Old bastard, arrogance always comes with a price!"

"You shameless old fool, even if you kneel and beg now, it's too late!"

Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged, his lips curled in a slight smile.

Three Late Stage of Myriad Phenomena—indeed not weak!

Yet in his eyes, merely so-so!

"Heh, think little of an old man, and you'll pay in blood!"

Swish!

Xu Yang moved.

His figure sprang up like a flying swallow, feather-light and ethereal, every move suffused with the mysterious genius of heaven and earth, as if merging with the cosmos, harmonizing with yin and yang.

In that flickering sway, it was as if a great bell swung and paused for a breath, then in an instant, smashed down, shaking the heavens!

Boom!

Like morning bells and evening drums pounding against the firmament, erupting in an earth-shattering roar!

The trio were struck like by lightning, their hearts shuddered and their minds shaken, plunged into a split-second daze!

And in that fleeting moment of distraction—

Xu Yang transformed into a phantom, his form stepping skyward, instantly rising above them, and brought his palm crashing down!

Above, eight spectral chains flashed and disappeared, melting into void!

Beneath the shadow of his palm, it was like a domain—locking heaven and sealing earth!

This matchless power dominated heaven and earth!

Rumble!

Their Divine Techniques were struck as if by thunder, splintering and shattering!

Wails of agony instantly followed.

It was as if they were struck by an invisible mountain peak.

Wu Yu was first to scream blood, skin rupturing, body covered in fissures!

The old crone and the middle-aged man suffered even worse—struck directly in the brow by Xu Yang's terrifying Spiritual Power, their foreheads split and blood spurted like arrows!

Boom!

Bam!

The violently shaken mountains gradually stilled, dust clouds and their reverberations fading away before the naked eye.

The three collapsed to the ground, forced by overwhelming pressure to shiver, looking so pitiable none could bear to meet their eyes!

The old crone stared in terror, eyes wide.

"Spare us, Senior!"

"Spare me, Senior! It was my blind ignorance that offended you—please show mercy!"

She acted instantly, clutching her head and kowtowing repeatedly!

Wu Yu gulped hard, throat bobbing, as though he'd seen a ghost.

What the hell is this—he's certainly not some Late Stage of Myriad Phenomena!

In his eyes, Xu Yang at this moment was utterly like a god!

Awe and dread filled him!

That overwhelming aura of dominance was even more terrifying than some of the Myriad Manifestations Perfection experts he'd witnessed!

Playing the pig to eat the tiger!

This old man's truly insidious!

"Spare me, Senior!"

Wu Yu knew he was utterly ruined today.

They were crushed with a single casual palm—this kind of power could never be resisted even by staking their lives.

Every trump card they possessed was nothing but illusion before such a foe!

As for any treasures, forget about hope—survival was all they wished for!

Xu Yang gazed down upon the three, his words cold: "Is there any problem with me taking this treasure for myself?"

"No—no problem!"

"Senior, with such strength, you surely deserve this treasure alone!"

The three nodded wildly, terror at last replaced by a glimmer of hope, thinking perhaps they might survive.

Xu Yang smiled slightly, his brow suddenly quivering.

Crash!

A thousand blades burst forth, manifest and real, covering the sky and earth!

"No!"

"Old bastard, you wretched—"

"Ah!!!"

Their screams and curses were cut short!

Their bodies convulsed, stiffening, before collapsing limply and motionless—dead, their Dao perished!

Xu Yang casually swept his sleeve.

The three corpses scattered like sand in the wind, dissipating in an instant, leaving only a few Storage Rings dropping into Xu Yang's palm.

He glanced over them briefly; they contained many things, yet little useful to him.

After stowing them away, Xu Yang turned to gaze at the Spirit Array before him.

No longer disturbed, it was time to enter and probe its secrets!

Crash!

His eyes faded to pure dark gold, and within his sight, all mist dissipated, every blur swiftly cleared before the naked eye.

Xu Yang's expression tightened, stepping into mid-air.

Countless threads were woven together, dazzling spiritual patterns densely layered inside; even with Cangxu Divine Eyes penetrating all mysteries, it would still not be simple to enter unharmed.

Xu Yang raised his head to study the heavens, and then his eyes flashed, lips curling upward.

Swish!

His body flickered, drifting lightly as a wisp of green smoke.

Arriving where spirit patterns and threads entwined, his silhouette twisted, surrounding space-time folding and overlapping.

From outside, it looked as if he was twisted into dozens of forms by overlapping realms, squeezing through the folds!

Swish!

The threads were left trailing behind him.

And throughout the process, the Heaven and Earth Spirit Array trembled only lightly, but was not fully triggered.

The miracle of space and time—just as it should be!

Though he was only Early Stage of Myriad Phenomena, and hadn't even entered the first realm of Celestial Brilliance Divine Sky, this ancient art was incomparably mighty. Even without formal initiation, his mastery of space and time far surpassed Late Stage of Myriad Phenomena and some Myriad Manifestations Perfection!

After dozens of breaths.

Xu Yang stepped forward, passing through the final thread, stably arriving at the array's very heart.

Here was an expanse of emptiness, as if an open space surrounded by the Array!

Xu Yang lowered his gaze, and amid concentrated spiritual light, he saw an ancient spiritual pattern floating.

It was about a foot long, body tinted with gray-black ink!

At a glance, Xu Yang's heart and mind swayed, as if witnessing all heaven and earth's myriad phenomena shimmering upon it.

Shadows interlaced, luminous and bizarre!

Mountains, rivers, earth, grass and trees...all intertwine, like a naturally formed secret land of spirit!

Suddenly—

Xu Yang's heart skipped, the mystery faded, replaced by a terrifying force of disaster!

It felt as if heaven and earth would collapse, storms raging, destroying all the world!

Swish!

The Ten Thousand Forms Spirit Tribulation Pattern sensed Xu Yang's intrusion, flashing through the air, exploding forth like a lightning blade, tearing space!

Crash!

The somber world unfurled, all phenomena entangling, weighted oppression, countless roars, trees and mountains thundered—all unleashed devastating disaster upon Xu Yang!

It was like a natural domain!

Xu Yang's heart shuddered, his gaze focused.

He stood still, allowing the spirit pattern to assail him!

At the instant when that fearsome domain struck, Xu Yang curved his palm to receive!

Swish swish swish!!

Eight chains swelled in the wind, thick as barrels, weaving and plunging into the realm of spirit patterns!

Boom!

Crash!

Bam!

Explosions roared without end—deafening!

As if thousands of Divine Weapons and worlds were clashing!

The outer Spirit Array was goaded to violent eruption.

Invisible threads sparked; endlessly many spirit patterns, once imperceptible, now formed solid before heaven and earth.

From all directions, with mesmerizing distortion and ripping force, they surged toward the core!

"Worthy indeed are the Heaven and Earth Spirit Array and these patterns!"

Xu Yang's face tightened, both hands flashing in swift seals.

Even with his strength, he felt an immense pressure now.

Spirit patterns and arrays were highly compatible, and at full eruption, even Myriad Manifestations Perfection would struggle to withstand such power!

Frankly, Xu Yang thought even if those three fops had broken in, they would not have succeeded in taking the spirit pattern!

"Celestial Brilliance Divine Sky!"

Xu Yang sharply shouted, Divine Thunder merging into his body, Celestial Brilliance surging with vast force.

Boom!

His form rose straight and tall, equal to heaven itself!

"Hmph!"

With a snort, tidal waves of power flooded forth, spraying everywhere, fully blocking the array's terrible onslaught!

Meanwhile, empowered by the Celestial Brilliance Divine Sky Seal, the eight Heaven-Locking Divine Chains surged through the spirit pattern realm like unstoppable spears, breaking the fetters and ascending!

Then, the chains turned, forming a reverse web that once bound now ensnared!

"Seal!"

Xu Yang's voice boomed, chains encircling!

Bam!

Shining light erupted, heaven and earth ruptured, the Ten Thousand Forms Spirit Tribulation Pattern stricken as if by thunder, shivering violently—in mere few breaths of arduous struggle, the eight chains closed in, like mighty pythons, coiling and binding, locking it firm!
