It was indeed Wei Qiyue’s Severing Dust Sword! Around the Severing Dust Sword, even finer threads of sword light, like silken strands, launched an attack at Lei Jun from all directions under the cover of the prominent Severing Dust Sword.

Seeing Lei Jun separated from the Celestial Master’s Sword, Wei Qiyue struck without hesitation. Her two Magical Treasures, the Flying Swords, utilized both hardness and softness, light and dark, their primary and secondary attacks interchanging fluidly.

Yet Lei Jun did not even turn his head, completely ignoring her attack. The Fire Dharma Earth Script Talisman and the Xuánxiāo Five Thunder Talisman shone simultaneously. The Yin Fire Tiger and the Yin Thunder Dragon manifested together.

The Yin Fire Tiger blocked the sword light of the Severing Dust Sword approaching from behind. The Yin Thunder Dragon spread out a diffusion of Mysterious Thunder, capturing numerous fine Dust Silk Sword lights along with the Pure Yang Immortal Thunder and Pure Yang True Fire that permeated the Pure Yang Sea.

Wei Qiyue, at this moment, was equally ruthless. She directly employed the Immortal Soul Sword Skill, merging her immortal soul with the Severing Dust Sword. The sword light, now more condensed, fierce, and piercing than before, immediately surpassed its previous intensity.

But behind Lei Jun, a Nine-colored Radiance descended, manifesting the Mixed Cavern Nine Lights, which continued to block Wei Qiyue’s sword light. The Severing Dust Sword trembled, and from it came Wei Qiyue’s voice, "The Celestial Master Robe?! No, it’s your ability to remotely channel the power of the Celestial Master Robe... Wait! Was it you who killed Junior Brother Gao in the Southern Wilderness? Are you trying to provoke conflict between us and the monks from the Western Regions?!"

Lei Jun still did not turn around, but an additional purple Talisman now appeared above his head. Streaks of purple thunder emanated from it, ultimately manifesting a purple Yang Gang Thunder Dragon—an application of the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talisman and the Ninth Heaven Thunder Ancestor Dharma.

The purple Yang Gang Thunder Dragon and the emerald green Yin Fire Tiger together let out an earth-shattering roar that shook the Nine Heavens. Yin and Yang harmonized; the Dragon and Tiger converged. The Purple-Green Tai Chi Diagram, unseen since the battle against Li Wai, reappeared in the world—the most orthodox Dragon-Tiger Strike from the lineage of the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master’s Mansion!

As the Purple-Green Tai Chi Diagram rotated, a terrifying torrent of light burst forth, striking the Severing Dust Sword directly! Wei Qiyue, her Immortal Soul merged with the sword via the Immortal Soul Sword Skill, let out a muffled grunt. "...The Celestial Master Robe isn’t actually in your possession. That means..." Her voice suddenly cut off. Because she saw something else—something that did not belong to the Celestial Master Mansion. Seven Flying Swords, arrayed in the formation of the Big Dipper Seven Stars, hovered above Lei Jun’s head.

"No wonder your disciple is better at wielding his tongue than his sword. It seems to be a trait passed down," Lei Jun said without looking back. The Seven Flying Swords were not aimed at Wei Qiyue. Their tips all pointed towards Rong Guangchen on the other side.

There, tormented by the Pure Yang Sea and attacked by Yuan Mobai, Rong Guangchen had been forced into a purely defensive stance. The manifestation of the Black Tortoise, combined with his Nascent Soul Transformation Great Elixir, indeed made him as stable as Mount Tai for the moment, impervious to external forces.

But Lei Jun’s favorite targets had always been such stationary opponents... This had been the case ever since he dealt with Wang Jingfang, the traitor from the Pure Yang Palace of the Middle Three Heavens, years ago. Master Lei always preferred to attack those who, confident in their defenses, arrogantly stood their ground without dodging.

Empowered by the intertwined forces of the Dual Polarity Heavenly Primordial Talisman and the Primordial Magnet Force, the Seven Flying Swords unreservedly transformed into streaks of sword light, racing through the Pure Yang Realm. Although there was a slight delay between each sword strike, every sword seemed capable of splitting the heavens and rending the earth. Wherever they passed, even the Pure Yang Sea roiled and parted. The sword light struck Rong Guangchen with unerring precision.

Having completed the Nascent Soul Four Transformations and integrated the Three Teachings into his Great Elixir, his defenses, when employed with all his might, were indeed formidable. In all the lands, aside from high-ranking Buddhist Precept Holders of the same realm, none could surpass his defensive capabilities. Lei Jun’s first sword failed to break through his defense. The second sword carved a crack into it. The third sword strike proved more effective. It pierced right through!

By the fourth sword strike, Rong Guangchen no longer remained stationary to dodge. He frantically tried to rise, but being severely injured and his movements hampered, Lei Jun’s sword still severed his lower body. "You... Chen Donglou?! Chen Donglou truly is dead! You were the one who killed Wang Dongchu, Zheng Dongying, and the others!"

Rong Guangchen was no less astonished than Wei Qiyue. He understood the connection between the Seven-Star Sword and Chen Donglou in an instant. But how Lei Jun, a cultivator of the Talisman Sect, could possess such Sword Control Technique was entirely beyond Rong Guangchen’s expectations. Even the existence of the Celestial Master Seal and the Thunder Law Heavenly Scripture Talisman had not shocked him as much as this realization.

Unfortunately, there was no time for further contemplation. He had no choice but to abandon his physical body, shed the Great Elixir he had painstakingly cultivated only to see it so easily destroyed, and eject his Nascent Soul—engaging in Nascent Soul Travel. His Nascent Soul, in its perilous escape, barely avoided the fifth and sixth Flying Swords. But while he might have dodged the earlier blows, he could not escape them all; the seventh strike was unavoidable, and his Nascent Soul was severed from below the knees.

For Dan Ding Cultivators, whose very lives are intertwined with their cultivation, even their Nascent Souls are more resilient than the Spiritual Souls of many other practitioners. Yet, despite Rong Guangchen’s resilience, he had now fallen into dire straits.

This time, Lei Jun did not need to worry about finishing him off. Above Master Yuan Mobai’s head, the rust-red Talisman glimmered, conjuring eighty-one Divine Weapons. These flew out like a torrential downpour, subjecting Rong Guangchen to a second baptism of storm and rain. This was Master Yuan Mobai’s life-bound Second Divine Power, the Nine Turns Nine Refinements Troop Commanding Talisman, unleashing the Jiuli Fierce Soldiers.

While Yuan Mobai was striking down Rong Guangchen, Lei Jun took a deep breath, replenishing his vastly depleted Mana. Then, he called out to Tang Xiaotang, "Little Senior Sister." Without needing further words, Tang Xiaotang condensed a Pure Yang Fire Tiger for him from the Pure Yang Sea beside Lei Jun. Lei Jun himself then manifested another Yin Thunder Dragon using the Xuánxiāo Five Thunder Talisman.

Gold and black intertwined once more, forming a colossal Gold-Black Tai Chi Diagram that shone in concert with the Purple-Green Tai Chi Diagram. A twofold Dragon-Tiger Strike. Double the devastation, delivered unto Wei Qiyue.

And so, the Severing Dust Sword truly fractured. Under the brilliant radiance of the two Tai Chi Diagrams, Wei Qiyue’s Immortal Soul was obliterated, her path to life completely severed. Then, the power of the harmonized Yin and Yang flowed back into Lei Jun. Not only did it leave him unharmed, but the interconversion of Yin and Yang also generated vitality, helping him recover his depleted Mana even faster.

Meanwhile, after Master Yuan Mobai had finished off Rong Guangchen, he charged towards Tang Xiaotang, the Pure Yang Boat, and the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King. As time passed, the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King gradually adapted to the Powerful Intent of the horsetail whisk. Its abilities to gather and scatter, and its feign-death-and-resurgence Supernatural Powers, began to reassert themselves.

But just as its body showed signs of dispersing, a Yin-Yang Tai Chi Diagram—formed by pure gold lightning and emerald green flames—hovered above, its dazzling light condensing and shining down upon it. The Thousand Leaves Butterfly King’s body was once again firmly suppressed, rendering it unable to escape. Yuan Mobai had already arrived behind it, delivering an extremely violent punch that struck the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King’s vital point.

Under normal circumstances, this Great Demon might have withstood the blow. But now, completely restrained, it took the full force of the hit and bled profusely. Before it could catch its breath, another punch landed in the very same spot. Lei Jun, manifesting the Destiny Star God as if a heavenly deity had descended, maintained the exact same punching motion as his master, Yuan Mobai. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The Thousand Leaves Butterfly King could not even utter a curse. The next instant, the Pure Yang Boat that had held it pinned dispersed. Tang Xiaotang herself, wielding the Celestial Master’s Sword, stepped off the boat. Converging purple and gold thunderbolts, supremely yang and ferocious, struck the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King, cleaving the Great Demon in two.

One half of the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King’s body was incinerated by thunderfire. But its other half saw an opportunity to escape. Yet, it still could not disintegrate and flee. A phantasmal three-colored Altar—purple, gold, and cyan—materialized, enveloping the area and pinning the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King’s remaining body.

Then, it could only watch helplessly as Lei Jun produced a square White Jade Great Seal, interwoven with purple, gold, and cyan light. Lei Jun grasped it and swung it down hard. The seal struck the Thousand Leaves Butterfly King’s vital point once more.

CRACK!

The Great Demon finally shattered into pieces. It was blasted into oblivion, utterly and irrevocably dead!
