Star Sky Professional

"Hmm?"

Fang Xing, who was advancing with his sword, suddenly noticed something was amiss.

Within his dantian, the mana of the bicolored time-space lotus surged, and layers of emerald green lotus leaves manifested around him, transforming into layers of defense.

"A secret technique warning? Someone is tracking my cause and effect?"

"But I just arrived in the True Immortal Realm, akin to being freshly born—who could seize my cause and effect?"

Almost in an instant, Fang Xing thought of the one who just said 'Daoist friend, please stay your step'.

"Sure enough, those who say such things are always trouble!"

"To catch me with such tenuous cause and effect, is it an extremely skilled Dao Lord adept in the art of causality? Or is it reliant on some Secret Treasure?"

Fang Xing's thoughts raced, but his speed didn't slow in the slightest.

He formed a sword with his fingers, allowing the force of nature to descend and transform into an emerald green sword body.

And on the blade, bicolored lotus flowers of gold and silver bloomed, transforming into lotus imprints.

"One sword severs cause and effect!"

He swung the sword to sever himself, a deep gleam crossing his eyes as the world suddenly turned hazy.

A thin line of cause and effect could be seen extending from the void, connecting to himself.

And at the end of the cause and effect line, there appeared to be a Talisman?

"What kind of Talisman can achieve this?"

Fang Xing's long sword fell, striking the cause and effect line.

Boom!

The line shattered violently.

But it was a step too late, as waves of autumn water had already traveled along the line.

Whoosh!

In an instant, Fang Xing saw a lake of autumn water.

From the lake, a pair of eyes as bright as stars, like autumn waters, flashed.

"Dao Lord Qiushui?"

Fang Xing sighed: "Still a step too late!"

Rumble!

In that moment, the power of the Dao of Qiushui descended, transforming into a jade hand with the light of autumn and water, gently patting forward!

"All Swords Return to One!"

Fang Xing slashed out with his sword, as if dividing time and space, the river of time and the origin of space roared across, like a brilliant galaxy, striking the jade hand of Qiushui.

Whoosh!

The power of the Dao shattered, transforming into a rain of countless droplets.

Fang Xing, united with his sword, didn't slow down at all, resembling a white rainbow piercing through the sun, striking towards the void, clearly intending to escape.

Whoosh!

In the void, numerous emerald green flags appeared, transforming into an array.

Clang!

Fang Xing's sword light divided into thousands, its Sword Qi astonishing gods and making ghosts wail, but it was blocked by ripples on the emerald green flags.

Water benefits all things without contention, therefore none in the world can contend with it!

"The defense of the Dao of Qiushui is truly remarkable... I've learned something today."

Fang Xing sighed.

Soon after, he beheld a chariot drawn by nineteen True Immortal phoenixes, and within the chariot was a female Dao Lord wearing a Daoist robe.

He understood clearly that he ultimately made a crucial mistake.

Previously, although Dao Lord Qiushui had caught a hint of his presence, he had not only detected it but had also severed it with a sword.

Dao Lord Qiushui could do nothing but send two attacks through the void, along with deploying a set of 'Qiushui Array Flags' to form the 'Qiushui Grand Array'!

If he had not only managed to sever the jade hand but also broken the array flags with that one sword, he could have escaped, enjoying freedom like a fish in the sea or a bird in the sky.

Alas... he did not!

In such a moment of delay, it was enough time for Dao Lord Qiushui's true body to reach the battlefield!

A Dao Lord of the Fourteenth Realm capturing a mere True Immortal of the Thirteenth Realm is naturally a task as easy as turning a hand!

"Your swordsmanship is truly astounding, you must be the most extraordinary Sword Immortal."

Dao Lord Qiushui's bright eyes were charming, her Divine Thought vast: "Being able to face two moves from a Dao Lord with your True Immortal body is something you can pride yourself on! You are indeed worthy of possessing the Transcendence Inheritance!"

"With your strength, an ordinary first-step Dao Lord might not be able to hold you, but unfortunately, I have already advanced to the second step."

Within her heart, Dao Lord Qiushui felt an intense heat.

"First Step Dao Lord, Second Step Dao Lord?"

Fang Xing smiled slightly, knowing this was the hierarchy in the True Immortal Realm.

The four-step Dao Lord corresponds one-to-one with the Fourth Realm Dao Master.

A Dao Lord who reaches the fourth step is essentially equivalent to a master of the Innate Dao, also known as the Fourth Realm Dao Master!

Although this cultivation avatar of his had yet to break through to Dao Lord, his true body was already at the Fourteenth Realm in strength, cultivating supreme Daos.

Combined, he was worthy of being called a 'True Immortal Overlord', a Sixth Rank Dharma Master, capable of engaging and even triumphing over an ordinary first-step Dao Lord.

Even if not victorious, he could escape.

But against a second-step Dao Lord, he ultimately fell short.

"Transcendence Inheritance?"

Fang Xing chuckled, secretly communicating with the Gate of All Heavens: "Have all you Dao Court Dao Lords, disciples of the Dao Venerates... completely pledged allegiance to the Demon Venerables and the Demon Lords?"

"In the face of great tides, one must follow to live and oppose to perish; it's an unavoidable matter."

"Daoist, you are also a part of the Dao Court, benefitted from the Immortal Dao, shouldn't you surrender the Transcendence Inheritance at this juncture to provide some assistance for us? If we were to overthrow the Demon Venerables and Demon Lords in the future, you could be remembered for all eternity and perhaps have a chance for reincarnation."

Dao Lord Qiushui's tone was gentle, yet seemed to carry an underlying threat.

After all, Fang Xing's escape last time was very mysterious.

She may not be confident in catching him!

"Haha... The Dao Lord has mistaken one thing, I am a Sword Cultivator!"

Fang Xing laughed heartily: "As a Sword Cultivator, I would rather break than bend!"

Clang!

As soon as the words fell, the sky was filled with a flash of sword light.

Countless sword lights gathered, merging with the power of time and space, transforming into a white line, attacking Dao Lord Qiushui.

This sharpness was incredibly astonishing, with time flowing and changing in an instant!

It was an Instant Kill Sword!

Wave!

In front of Dao Lord Qiushui, endless water waves appeared, constantly undulating, reducing the power of Fang Xing's previous sword.

She looked at her own right fingertip, only to see the tip of her jade-white finger with a sword wound, and a crystalline drop of blood appeared.

"Good swordsmanship, to actually injure me. If it were an ordinary First Step Dao Lord, you might have slain them with this sword, accomplishing the great feat of a True Immortal slaying a Dao Lord, but unfortunately... when a Dao Lord bleeds, disaster must follow!"

Dao Lord Qiushui formed seals with both hands, and streams of spirit light appeared.

The spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth surged vast and mighty, but was repelled by the power of the Dao.

In an instant, Fang Xing felt as if he had arrived in another realm.

In this realm, the fluctuations of law were forbidden!

Even the laws of time and space he was best at had no effect at all!

This is the might of the Dao Lord!

As the Dao moves with the world, it is not weakened, but the True Immortal Dharma Master cannot manage this.

"The heavenly path moves with water, enriching all beings..."

Accompanied by Dao Lord Qiushui's incantation, the world suddenly transformed into a vast autumn water sea.

Crash!

A colossal creature, indescribable in form but unimaginably vast, emerged from the darkness of the deep sea and leapt to the surface.

It was a Kunpeng!

Bang!

The giant Kunpeng flapped its wings, as if overturning the heavens and earth, the Qiushui Dao surged mightily, crashing down.

In an instant, the void of the True Immortal Realm shattered, countless spatial cracks appeared over hundreds of thousands of miles.

A Dao Lord, with a casual strike, could create a forbidden zone in the True Immortal Realm!

Dao Lord Qiushui was very confident in her cultivation, stepping instantly to a large pit as if in an instant teleportation.

At the bottom of the giant pit, Fang Xing's head was suppressed by infinite autumn water, solidified like crystals, with a gravity greater and more terrifying than a trillion water elements.

Threads of autumn kill chill constantly invaded Fang Xing's meridians, penetrating directly into the dantian, freezing the gold and silver lotus.

Only a single green stem could still barely move.

A flash of green light passed, preventing Fang Xing from being crushed under the weight, kneeling immediately.

"The Transcendence Inheritance, truly extraordinary, even under my Qiushui Dao's suppression, there is still some remaining strength?"

Dao Lord Qiushui was very surprised, then came to Fang Xing, meeting his gaze.

She exhaled orchid-like fragrance, smiling tenderly: "It's just a shame...you are only a True Immortal now. If you had already achieved a Dao Lord status, even those Third Step Dao Lords might not be your match... you might even advance faster than Xiaoyao, achieving a Fourth Step Dao Lord!"

"Xiaoyao Dao Lord is only a Third Step Dao Lord?"

Fang Xing gritted his teeth, seemingly speaking with difficulty.

"Hehe... of course, otherwise, with his mastery of the Dao of Xiaoyao and the Immortal Dao, if he could step into the Fourth Step, returning Postnatal to Innate, regardless of which path he takes to proving the Innate Dao, it would barely ensure safety under the Demon Venerable and Demon Lord's scrutiny, and the pattern of the True Immortal Realm wouldn't be as it is now."

Dao Lord Qiushui seemed to deliberately reveal secrets, distracting Fang Xing, making it easier for her to secretly perform techniques to Soul Search Fang Xing.

"It's just a pity, the Demon Venerable and Demon Lord are unlikely to give him such an opportunity... but Dao Lords in our Dao Court won't concede, many have plans in the shadows..."

"My plan is you... I ask fellow Daoist, for the sake of being both of the Immortal line, fulfill this lord."

Dao Lord Qiushui suddenly advanced, her eyes emitting strange light, stabbing into Fang Xing's eyes!

——Soul Search!

At this moment, behind Dao Lord Qiushui, the void sealed by the Dao unexpectedly reappeared with strange fluctuations!

No!

It wasn't the Space Law, but an inexplicable force transcending the void Dao, forming an invisible gate!

An indescribable hue, encompassing everything, accommodating all... as if existing above boundless time, the Great Sun descended through the layers of time and space!

——Immortal Great Sun King Spell!

A trace of a smile appeared on Fang Xing's cultivation avatar's face, as a Great Sun Furnace rose in the Sea of Consciousness, making Dao Lord Qiushui snort coldly, clearly injuring the Dao Lord's Primordial Spirit!

Then, within the boundless Great Sun, a Great Sun Tathagata emerged, with the appearance of Fang Xing's true body, pushing both palms!

——Infinite Light!

——Infinite Life!

The tenth form of the Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm——Great Sun Nirvana!

Rumble!

The complete power of the Dao of Panwu descended, smashing through the layers of Qiushui Dao's defenses, falling behind Dao Lord Qiushui!

Dao Lord Qiushui screamed miserably, severely injured by a single move!

This indeed was the result of Fang Xing's cultivation avatar creating this opportunity for his true body to launch a full-force surprise attack!

Of course, the fundamental reason is that Fang Xing's true self, being also a Second Step Dao Lord, is stronger than Dao Lord Qiushui!

In other words, when both challenge the Sky Tablet, Fang Xing's palm prints could penetrate more than 2,100 meters, while Dao Lord Qiushui's would reach only about 1,450 meters at most!

"I ask the Dao Lord's generosity, to fulfill this little immortal!"

Fang Xing's cultivation avatar laughed heartily, revealing a trace of madness on his face, a round Great Sun Primordial Spirit emerged, directly charging into Dao Lord Qiushui's Sea of Consciousness along her eyes!

——Reverse Soul Search!
