Gao Xuan felt a bit disappointed and said to Xuan Xiang, "Master, why aren't you exerting yourself?"

Xuan Xiang was infuriated. Gao Xuan not only gained the upper hand but also mocked him. Yet, Xuan Xiang was fully channeling his Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Claw and had no extra energy to transmit his voice via Divine Sense.

Seeing the black flames raging around Xuan Xiang, with black dragon scales appearing on his face, Gao Xuan knew Xuan Xiang had already given it his all.

"So, you were already at your limit, I misjudged you."

Politely, Gao Xuan said to Xuan Xiang, "Master, farewell."

With a slight tremor of his palm, the overpoweringly fierce Palm Force of the Primordial Cross-Training Golden Body erupted suddenly. The Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Claw was the first to twist and shatter, followed by Xuan Xiang's arm and body, all twisted and crushed under the unrivaled Palm Force.

By the time the Palm Force exploded, Xuan Xiang, with six thousand years of cultivation, had already burst into a blood mist.

The black Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect roared and flew within the blood mist, trying desperately to escape.

Xuan Xiang's physical body was destroyed, but his Divine Soul, tempered for six thousand years and having undergone ten Thunder Tribulations, was incredibly powerful, marking him as a top-tier force in this realm.

The Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect and his Divine Soul were fused together. Thanks to the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect, Xuan Xiang's Divine Soul didn't collapse immediately.

However, such struggles were futile.

Gao Xuan's left hand shimmered with dark golden lights, and the Nether God Claw had already captured Xuan Xiang's Divine Soul and the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect entirely.

The powerful Divine Soul and the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect of the Eleventh Tribulation Cultivator provided immense energy for the Nether God Claw.

The Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Dharma Aspect and Xuan Xiang's memories were also preserved.

Thus, Xuan Xiang, the foremost expert of the Northern Province Buddhist Sect, was utterly annihilated in both form and soul.

The encounter between Gao Xuan and Xuan Xiang was complex, but the actual battle was brief. It only took the time of a few sentences.

Particularly the final palm strike Gao Xuan used to kill Xuan Xiang; the black flames of the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon engulfed the surroundings, making it impossible for anyone to see the battle process.

Through the space barrier, everyone saw a shadow flash, followed by the gradual fading of the black flames, revealing Gao Xuan's figure.

The opposite Xuan Xiang had vanished without a trace.

Many Arhats were busy dealing with the ripples and did not see Xuan Xiang's situation.

The other three Golden Body Arhats immediately sensed something was wrong.

Clearly, Xuan Xiang had been killed, annihilated in both form and soul, leaving not even ashes.

Realizing this, Jinshan, Jin Yuan, and Lingxu were all terrified.

The Celestial Fool watching the battle also had no trace of a smile on his face as he gravely watched the space where Xuan Xiang once was, seeing nothing.

He found it hard to believe; this was Xuan Xiang, the top expert of the Northern Province Buddhist Sect. Although the Celestial Fool was not convinced by Xuan Xiang, he had to admit that with just the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon and World-Ending True Flame, Xuan Xiang was solidly above him.

Such a powerful figure had died so casually. The Celestial Fool widened his eyes, unable to see what exactly happened, nor did he know what method Gao Xuan used to kill Xuan Xiang.

Considering Gao Xuan might have used an incarnation, it became even more frightening.

Jinshan and the others naturally thought of this point, so the three Golden Body Arhats were all anxious.

Jinshan's Heaven-shaking Golden Cymbals suddenly sounded, each strike sending out spots of golden light.

The Heaven-shaking Golden Cymbals, as a Magical Artifact, were most powerful in Sound Killing Technique. The title "Heaven-shaking" was not given lightly.

Realizing the dire situation, Jinshan disregarded everything else and madly struck the cymbals to produce a massive resonance.

Layered sound waves stirred up transparent air ripples. The entire space was like a rippling lake, everything starting to twist and warp.

Jinshan had not found a flaw in the Inversion of Heaven and Earth Technique, and in desperation, fully unleashed the Golden Body Power.

This pair of Heaven-shaking Golden Cymbals could practically shake the heavens, let alone merely a space divided by technique.

As the space was about to shatter, a golden halo appeared behind Gao Xuan's head on the opposite side.

With the halo, Gao Xuan appeared dignified, exuding a majestic aura that commanded the heavens and earth, akin to a Supreme Celestial Venerable from the Nine Heavens.

Within the golden halo, seven-colored divine lights swirled — red, white, blue, purple, gold, green, and orange — each rotation of the seven-colored lights possessed an awe-inspiring power.

Under the illumination of the halo, Jinshan's Divine Soul was penetrated by the seven-colored light. In an instant, Jinshan felt his Divine Soul was about to be melted by the seven-colored light.

In terror, he hastily activated the pair of Heaven-shaking Golden Cymbals to protect himself, but under the seven-colored light, they were hard to control.

In a moment of delay, the Heaven-shaking Golden Cymbals were devoured by the seven-colored light. As Jinshan attempted to flee, the seven-colored Primordial Magnetic Divine Light turned again, leaving Jinshan feeling numb, his Divine Soul decomposing under the seven-colored Primordial Magnetic Divine Light.

The seven-colored Primordial Magnetic Divine Light of the Jun Heaven Wheel was exceptionally terrifying, once invading the Divine Soul, a presence like Jinshan was certainly unable to resist.

This also led Jinshan to lose his nerve and basic composure. He failed to make the correct judgment facing the Jun Heaven Wheel, leading to his mistake and ending up annihilated in both form and soul.

Gao Xuan shook his head inwardly, Jinshan's reputation was vast, yet he was not much stronger than Jin Guang. These brothers were both quite useless.

That pair of Heaven-shaking Golden Cymbals was also rather silly. Gao Xuan had no intention of wielding a pair of cymbals to randomly strike at enemies, that was just too foolish.

As Jinshan was dealt with, Jin Yuan faced his own misfortune.

Gao Xuan extended his left hand, a massive hand composed of five dark gold blades descended, capturing Jin Yuan.

Jin Yuan had no way to evade, only able to summon the Vajra Bright King Dharma Aspect to protect himself, a colossal Demon-Slaying Pestle rested above, trying to hold off the continuously contracting dark gold blade hand.

Having absorbed the Profound Image Divine Soul Essence Blood of Xuan Xiang, the power of the Nether God Claw greatly increased. With Gao Xuan's incarnation driving and activating it, it was not something Jin Yuan could resist.
