The young Taoist priest arrived at the Gate of Life first and saw a primordial magnetic divine light shrouding the area in azure.
The light was hazy and shifting, seemingly capable of washing away everything.
Even a celestial being, if accidentally caught in the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, would likely be reduced to ashes after being washed away by its magnetic power.
This Taoist was naturally far from the realm of immortals, but fortunately he had a jade talisman in his hand. He raised his hand and threw the jade talisman, which immediately turned into a stream of light and rushed out, disappearing into the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light.
Immediately, a channel of flowing five-colored light was opened in the divine light.
The Taoist then leaped onto the passage and flew straight to the end. The surrounding magnetic divine light continuously washed over the passage, but the five-colored light on the passage flowed endlessly, and there was no sign of it collapsing.
The Taoist priest ran at breakneck speed and soon reached the end of the formation. With a flash, he was out of the formation.
At that moment, Du Xuan arrived in front of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and saw the Taoist's departing figure.
He was secretly surprised: "This guy? He seemed to be somewhat familiar with this immortal abode before, and now he can pass through the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light so easily. It seems that he must have a close relationship with this immortal abode."
However, he did not linger and quickly headed towards the gate of life.
When he walked up to the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, he felt a powerful magnetic force, as if it was trying to pull him into it.
He raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike, which emitted a dazzling light and collided with the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, producing a piercing sound.
As the divine light surged, it quickly annihilated the ball of lightning in the palm of his hand.
Du Xuan raised an eyebrow, pointed his finger, and released another Great Gengjin Innate Sword Qi.
With a flash of sword light, formed in a breath, it transformed into a heaven-splitting axe light, successfully carving out a passage within the primordial magnetic divine light.
Without hesitation, Du Xuan stepped onto the passage and sped towards the Gate of Life.
The magnetic light behind him continuously washed over the passage.
The passage cleared by the sword light could not last long, and soon collapsed and shattered behind him.
Soon, he reached the end of the passage and left the formation.
After leaving the formation, Du Xuan found himself in a mountain forest, surrounded by silence, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.
He took a deep breath, feeling the breath of freedom, and his heart was filled with emotion.
With a flash, he leaped into the air as lightly as a bird. His gaze quickly swept around before finally settling on the endless palaces and pavilions in the distance.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately rode the escape light and sped towards his target.
Before long, he passed through layers of palaces and pavilions and arrived at the main hall in the very center.
At this moment, the young Taoist who arrived first had already summoned a brand-new bronze cauldron, leaped into it, and was busy retrieving a flying sword sealed inside.
This sword was forged from the essence of the innate Yi wood.
Once unleashed, it will release a powerful beam of Yi Wood sword light, capable of severing all things in the world.
Du Xuan keenly sensed the situation inside the cauldron and naturally wouldn't let that Taoist priest seize the initiative easily.
So, he swayed and rushed into the cauldron as well.
At this moment, the Taoist priest had forced the Yi Wood Flying Sword into a corner of the cauldron, and it seemed that he was about to successfully trap it completely.
Seeing this, Du Xuan hurriedly released a fierce Geng Metal Innate Sword Qi, which swept towards the Yi Wood Flying Sword.
The moment the sword energy was unleashed, the Taoist priest in the distance immediately sensed something amiss.
He whirled around, his gaze shooting like lightning towards the direction from which the sword energy was coming. The sword light hurtled towards him like lightning, carrying an incomparably fierce aura.
"You brat! How dare you ruin my plans!" The Taoist was furious, his eyes flashing with rage.
A thought flashed through his mind, and the sword case on his back vibrated slightly, emitting a crisp sound.
With this vibration, an extremely sharp flying sword immediately spewed out from the sword box, flying towards the Great Gengjin Innate Sword Qi like a streak of light.
With a deafening roar, the two sword lights collided violently in mid-air, unleashing a powerful energy surge.
Amidst the clanging and clashing sounds, the two sword lights crossed and slashed at each other at an astonishing speed, exchanging blows more than a hundred times in the blink of an eye.
Although the Great Geng Metal Innate Sword Qi was extremely profound and contained the power to split mountains and cleave seas, it ultimately lacked a substantial sword body compared to the flying sword summoned by the Taoist.
After this intense exchange, this weakness was quickly exposed and continued to grow.
After only a hundred or so exchanges, the Great Gengjin Innate Sword Qi could no longer withstand the enormous impact and shattered completely with a crisp pop.
At the same time, Du Xuan once again used the Mind Light Escape Technique, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the Yi Wood Flying Sword.
Without hesitation, he stretched out his right hand and reached for the flying sword, trying to snatch it away.
The young Taoist priest reacted extremely quickly. Just as Du Xuan was about to grab the flying sword, he suddenly took a step forward, making a loud noise and sending Du Xuan flying.
Du Xuan's body flew a short distance after being hit, but he quickly adjusted his posture and stabilized himself.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations.
The next moment, his index finger blossomed like a lotus flower, and streaks of sword light shot out from his fingertip, forming a halo of sword energy that slashed toward the Taoist at an astonishing speed.
This move is one of Du Xuan's most powerful divine abilities, with immense power, so much so that even Taoists dare not easily resist it.
At this moment, the sword light had already approached the Taoist. The Taoist did not have time to retract the Yi Wood Flying Sword, and could only quickly shake the jade talisman in his hand.
Instantly, a colorful cloud of smoke rose from his body. This cloud of smoke was formed by the condensation of the five elements and had the characteristics of both offense and defense.
Puff puff puff!
The sword light continuously bombarded the five-colored mist, triggering explosions that caused the mist to tremble violently.
While the Great Geng Metal Innate Sword Qi unleashed by Du Xuan was indeed profound, the jade talisman in the Taoist's hand was ultimately forged by Bian Qingzi himself.
Before Bian Qingzi ascended to immortality, he had already attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit. The spiritual treasures he personally crafted were certainly not simple.
The dazzling sword light continuously shattered under the wash of the Five Elements Radiance, and Du Xuan frowned.
It should be noted that although the Great Geng Metal Sword Qi is fierce, it also consumes a great deal of magical power.
He hadn't even condensed his primordial spirit yet, and after the previous exertion, releasing so many sword energies now made him feel a sense of emptiness for a moment.
When he realized that the Great Geng Metal Innate Sword Qi could not break through the Five Elements Mist, he immediately dispersed the hand seals in his hands. Before the Taoist could react, he once again used the Mind Light Escape Technique, flashed to the Yi Wood Flying Sword, and grabbed it in his palm.
The next instant, it flew away from the treasure cauldron without looking back.
Upon seeing this, the Taoist priest quickly dispersed the five-colored mist and chased after Du Xuan.
