"Xiao You Qingxu Tian? Candidate for the Holy Son?"
Shen Yuan immediately understood that Xu Hao in front of him was born in the Holy Land of Dongtian. He was a person who, like Gong Buyu, had used special means to survive through ten thousand years and survive into the future generations.
Shen Yuan also learned some information about this group of people from the sect.
Ten thousand years ago, the ten sacred caves and heavens had imprisoned some of their saintly sons and daughters using special means, hoping to allow these peerless geniuses to survive the era ten thousand years ago and wait to be reborn in the next era.
Some people believe that this is the intention of the saints and holy maidens of the ten holy places to avoid the era of the Supreme Taoist and head to the next era to ascend to the fairyland.
Some people also believe that the ten sacred caves and heavens had already foreseen the occurrence of the connection between heaven and earth, and wanted their saint sons and saint daughters to compete for the top position as the sect's foundation passed down for thousands of years.
A long time has passed, and the specific true situation is no longer possible to investigate, but those holy sons and daughters of the holy land of the cave heaven who have avoided disasters for thousands of years have indeed become one of the greatest assets of the blessed land of the cave heaven.
These saints have never been baptized by the period of spiritual energy depletion, and their own paths have not been worn down by the depletion of spiritual energy, so they have the hope of reaching a higher level.
In their minds, there is also precious knowledge passed down from thousands of years ago, which can make up for the sect’s lost heritage in these thousands of years.
When Shen Yuan participated in the conference on Taoism, he had vaguely heard that the Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Dongtian Holy Land were about to be born, but he never expected to meet them here.
However, the Xu Hao in front of him was just a candidate for the Holy Son. He was from the same generation as Yu Ke, who was almost killed by Shen Yuan ten thousand years ago. Even their statuses were comparable.
And from the tone of his voice, the Holy Son Xu Hao in front of him seemed to be an "old acquaintance" from ten thousand years ago.
Looking Xu Hao up and down and noticing his ugly expression, Shen Yuan realized that his questioning words were regarded as contempt by Xu Hao, which was why he was so emotional.
Shen Yuan had no intention of explaining this.
Ten thousand years ago, he had killed the True Lord Lianxu, who had a slight Qingxu Heaven, and had long been on the opposite side of the number one holy land of the world. There was no need for him to care about the attitude of a candidate for the Holy Son.
Shen Yuan glanced at the furious Xu Hao and said in a cold and pointed voice:
"Is it really just a fight?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Hao's stiff face became even gloomier, and the two spiritual masters behind him looked quite confused.
In fact, after finding out Xu Hao's identity, Shen Yuan realized that Xu Hao's claim that he had fought with him in Xiaoxumi Mountain ten thousand years ago was probably just self-flattery.
The time when Shen Yuan fought with him should be during a subsequent journey of ten thousand years when the Tianyuan secret order was used.
Ten thousand years ago, Xu Hao was just a candidate for the Holy Son with some talent. At best, he was only one level stronger than Yu Ke, who was also a candidate for the Holy Son.
During the last journey of ten thousand years, Shen Yuan was able to crush Yu Ke with his cultivation in the Qi training realm.
But now his cultivation has reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, his primordial spirit has been solidified and entered the Yang God Realm, his strength is far beyond what it was before.
If they really have to wait until the next time of the ten thousand years of time, Xu Hao will definitely not be his opponent. The truth about the so-called fight before is most likely that he was easily defeated by Shen Yuan.
Xu Hao couldn't sit still after being exposed by Shen Yuan. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice:
"I heard that you did not choose to seal yourself, but relied on yourself to survive the ten thousand years of spiritual energy depletion. Now you can walk normally between heaven and earth, causing everyone to be wary."
Having said that, Xu Hao sneered.
“Others may not know the secret, but since you and I are practitioners of the same era, how could we not know it?
Even if you really reach the realm of earthly immortals through this passage between heaven and earth by some means, it is impossible for you to walk freely in the real world.
Whether it is the suppression of the Nine Cauldrons or the influence of the incomplete rules of heaven and earth, your cultivation will be brought down.
Even if you have entered the realm of Earthly Immortal, the best you can do is to gradually restore your cultivation after the rules of heaven and earth are complete. It is absolutely impossible to retain your cultivation under such circumstances.
This means that even if you try to hide it, you can't hide the fact that your true cultivation level is only at the level of the Transformation Spirit in the outer world!"
Having said that, dense array patterns flashed in Xu Hao's sharp eyes. The array patterns, which were shrunk countless times, were carved on his eyes. It seemed that he could see through everything and understand cause and effect wherever his eyes reached.
Shen Yuan only felt his heart tremble, and the star number magic power to block the cause and effect secrets could only be triggered quietly. The starlight gathered and turned into a layer of silver gauze to block Xu Hao's prying eyes.
Xu Hao only felt that the starlight in the sky was like sharp swords piercing into his eyes. The sophisticated formation texture in his eyes shattered in an instant, and strands of blood flowed out from his eye sockets.
"Hahaha! I saw it!"
Xu Hao, who suffered the backlash, did not feel angry at all. Instead, he laughed heartily and took a step towards the sea of clouds in front of him.
The endless sea of clouds in front of him seemed to be pushed away by an invisible force. As Xu Hao's footsteps fell, the sea of clouds spread in all directions like waves, and the sea of clouds within a radius of dozens of miles was cleared away by this kick.
At this moment, Xu Hao's Taoist robe was puffing up, and a powerful aura that was no longer concealed suddenly burst out from him.
The peak of Spirit Transformation, the early stage of Spirit Refining, the middle stage of Spirit Refining. All the way to the peak of Spirit Refining, a gigantic image of the Yang God stood above the sea of clouds.
But such supernatural power cultivation is still not the end. The radiance of the Yang God's Dharma image behind Xu Hao faded, and his body seemed to transform into all things and merge into the world.
The heaven and earth became his body, the sea of clouds became his armor, and his every move was wrapped in the trend of heaven and earth, turning the power of heaven and earth for his own use.
This method is already close to that of Great Immortal Huanxu.
At this moment, Shen Yuan finally noticed Xu Hao's true cultivation level, which was actually that he had already reached the level of Great True Man Huanxu.
There is no Great Immortal Huanxu in the blessed land because he himself is integrated with heaven and earth and cannot be separated from it for a long time.
The period of spiritual energy depletion lasted for a full three thousand years, and Great Immortal Huanxu was simply unable to sustain it for so long, so the current situation was created where there was no Great Immortal left in the blessed land.
Xu Hao, who has sealed himself with a secret treasure for ten thousand years, does not need to enter the state of fusion between heaven and earth, so he is naturally not included in this list.
Restricted by the rules of the outside world, even though there is a small secret realm to isolate himself from the backlash of heaven and earth, Xu Hao can still only display the cultivation level of the peak of spirit refining.
However, a person who has reached the peak of spiritual cultivation and can borrow the power of heaven and earth is almost no different from Great Immortal Huanxu.
Behind Xu Hao, two soul-refining masters who were born in a relatively pure and clear world also took the initiative to step forward. The hundred-foot-tall Yang God Dharma images appeared, showing their powerful cultivation at the peak of soul refining to clear the formation for Xu Hao.
In the small secret realm where the sun had already set, it seemed as if three suns were rising, hanging high above the mountains.
Looking down at Shen Yuan, Xu Hao said with a sneer:
“The Supreme Taoist is good at using the weak to defeat the strong, and I, Xu Hao, have heard of this a long time ago.
But right now you are only at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm, I want to see how you can defeat me who has only one foot in the Realm of Returning to the Void."
As he spoke, the Yang God Dharmakāya whose body had merged with heaven and earth raised his right fist. The howling strong winds and the sea of clouds above the nine heavens all gathered in his hand.
Sweep away everything in whirlwind!
With one punch, the gathered power of wind and cloud was like a change in the sky, pressing down on Shen Yuan with irresistible force. The strong wind tore through the sky, and in an instant, the mountains collapsed and the earth fell. The power of heaven and earth borrowed by the Yangshen Dharma Image was no longer something that an individual could achieve.
Even if there are more Yang God Dharma images, without the means to fight against the power of heaven and earth, they cannot compare with the means of the Great True Man Huanxu.
The terrifying changes in the wind and clouds swallowed up everything, and as the clouds dispersed, the mountain thousands of meters high where Shen Yuan was located had already been completely destroyed by the power of this blow.
Xu Hao stared at the ruins, breathing heavily.
Obviously, borrowing the power of heaven and earth with the peak of spiritual cultivation is also a big burden for him.
Despite the huge consumption, his face still revealed an irrepressible excitement, because he could clearly sense that there was no chance of survival after that punch.
The Supreme Tao Son!
This man, who had been the unattainable object of countless saint sons and saint daughters and the nightmare of countless powerful aliens, fell in his hands just like that?
All this made Xu Hao feel unreal.
"Is this the end?"
As soon as the words fell, two sharp wails resounded above the clouds.
Xu Hao quickly turned around and saw Shen Yuan in a white robe who had appeared behind him, holding a rusty bronze sword.
In front of him, two Yang God statues, each one hundred feet tall, were rapidly dimming. A clear sword mark was clearly engraved on the center of the eyebrows of the huge golden statue.
The sword mark was so sharp that just looking at it made my eyes hurt.
The two masters who were at the peak of spiritual cultivation were kneeling above the clouds with empty eyes. Their bodies, which were already near the end of their lifespan, seemed to have experienced the erosion of a long period of time, and completely decayed and turned into ashes in changes visible to the naked eye.
The two Yang God Dharma images also completely perished and collapsed completely above the sea of clouds.
At this point, only Shen Yuan, Xu Hao, and Xue Mingzhi who was thrown on a distant mountain were left above the sea of clouds.
Xu Hao's attack, which was comparable to that of the Great Master Huanxu, was indeed extraordinary. If Shen Yuan encountered this in the outside world, he might have a headache if he didn't use his trump card.
But this is the secret realm of Fang Cun, a world created by Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan only needed to break through the space to avoid the fierce attack from the Great Master Huanxu.
As for killing two masters at the peak of spiritual cultivation, it was just a piece of cake for Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan, who has already forged the Yang God, is qualified to enter the stage of refining the spirit and returning to the void, but he is unable to break through due to the limitations of the rules of heaven and earth.
With the blessing of Yang Shen, the Disha swordsmanship has reached a whole new level.
If there is no special magical power inheritance, the real person of the spirit refining can be killed with one sword, not to mention that the Zhulong Immortal Sword in his hand has already entered the initial recovery level. With the blessing of the two, the real person at the peak of the spirit refining level will not be his opponent.
Shen Yuan said nothing, and waved the ancient bronze sword in his hand casually. A ray of sword power easily cut through the sea of clouds, as if splitting the sky in two.
"Danger!"
Xu Hao's heart was filled with alarm. The Yang Shen Dharma Image, which seemed to have merged with heaven and earth, put his hands together, and the rhyme of thousands of wonderful Dharmas flowed through them. The power of heaven and earth gathered and turned into mountains that stretched across his body.
The energy of the mountains was connected with the Yangshen Dharma, like an ancient mountain god who held up the mountains and traveled through all realms, and he forcibly met the sword intent that cut through the sky.
“Zheng!”
The sound of sword chanting pierced through heaven and earth, as if thousands of swords were converging at the same time and adding all their sharpness to his body. Even if he was protected by the mountains, he could still cut it down with one sword.
The sky cracked, the mountains collapsed, and the ancient mountain god transformed by the Yangshen Dharma Image collapsed in an instant.
Although the sword did not kill the Yang God Dharma Image, the power of the sword still forced Xu Hao's Yang God Dharma Image to fall out of the state of merging with heaven and earth.
The aura of Xu Hao, who had originally taken half a step into the realm of Great True Man Huanxu, suddenly dissipated.
"You still retain this kind of strength!"
Xu Hao's eyes were full of disbelief. He did not doubt that Shen Yuan had the strength to defeat the Great Master of Refining God with his body of Incarnation of God, but he borrowed the power of heaven and earth and almost possessed the strength comparable to the Great Master of Returning to Void.
He couldn't imagine that someone with such strength could be defeated so easily.
"I don't believe it! I don't believe you can really cross two realms in a row!"
Xu Hao's eyes were wide open with anger, he no longer had any reservations.
As a purple-gold talisman on his body suddenly burned, Xu Hao's suppressed cultivation in the Return to Void Realm was completely revealed between heaven and earth.
Above the imperial capital, a huge amount of calamity clouds suddenly gathered at the entrance of the small secret realm. Dark purple lightning streaks were wandering in the sky among the clouds, turning the entire sky into a pool of thunder.
Even though the thunder tribulation could not cross the boundaries of the secret realm, the backlash from heaven and earth still transmitted through the entrance to the secret realm and entered the Fang Cun secret realm.
"puff!"
Xu Hao, whose aura had reached its peak, suddenly vomited blood, and he forcibly resisted the backlash from heaven and earth.
A precious light flickered in his hand, and a flag of top-grade spiritual treasure appeared in his palm.
With both arms waving the flag, pale blue light covered the sky. The Yangshen Dharma Image let out an earth-shaking roar, and in his hand appeared a magical flag that was exactly the same as the one in Xu Hao's hand.
The huge image of the Yang God waved a banner, and wild winds howled between heaven and earth. The endless power of heaven and earth brought down the majesty of this world, and its majesty was as if the world was overturning.
The dim sky and earth seemed to have turned into a hazy chaos. Only the image of Yangshen waving a treasure banner stood between heaven and earth, like an almighty god holding a giant axe and creating the world.
The wonderful magical power of Taoism opens up the mysterious world!
The miraculous Taoist powers derived from the Yuqing inheritance, combined with the power of the Great Immortal Huanxu, are close to the limit of this secret realm and have long been beyond human power to contend with.
Under this blow, even a fellow Great Immortal Huanxu would not be able to escape.
Shen Yuan stared calmly at the image of Yangshen waving a giant banner in front of him. He did not take the might that seemed to destroy the world seriously at all.
As the mighty force of the sky collapsing, the earth sinking, and the rivers flowing backwards fell, even the space was distorted at this moment, and Xu Hao's eyes flashed with bloodthirsty madness.
But just as this magical power was about to fall on Shen Yuan, the raging winds and the power of heaven and earth that gathered on the Yangshen Dharma Image suddenly disappeared in an instant.
Then, Shen Yuan's voice slowly sounded.
"Are you using my power to suppress me?"
