The dark gold blade claw kept tightening, slicing through the giant Vajra Bright King Dharma Aspect to create numerous cracks, and the enormous Demon-Slaying Pestle also couldn't withstand the pressure, twisting and deforming.

"Celestial Master, I surrender,"

Jin Yuan realized he couldn't hold on and hurriedly tried to concede. At that moment, the dark gold blade claw clamped down suddenly, crushing both Jin Yuan and the Vajra Bright King Dharma Aspect to pieces.

Xuan Xiang and Jinshan died too quickly, and through the spatial barrier, no one could see clearly.

Jin Yuan, however, held on for a moment, and everyone saw clearly how he was crushed by the dark gold blade claw.

Zuo Wentao and Tao Jun were originally very disdainful of the Buddhist monks, but seeing a dignified Golden Body Arhat being squeezed to death like this, they couldn't help but feel a twinge of sympathy.

All were cultivators, and cultivators of the Human Immortal Level who had cultivated for three to five thousand years. Jin Yuan wanted to concede, yet Gao Xuan still coldly crushed him to death.

Such a death was both humiliating and somewhat tragic, making fellow cultivators like Zuo Wentao feel uneasy.

Celestial Fool was delighted. He chuckled and said, "That grip was impressive, killing a Golden Body Arhat like squashing a bug, satisfying indeed!"

With three Golden Body Arhats consecutively slain, the remaining Lingxu's heart sunk to the very bottom.

The key was that even Jin Yuan couldn't surrender. It snuffed out all of Lingxu's hopes.

Running was impossible, and surrender was not an option, so there was no choice but to fight to the death.

Lingxu appeared kind and benevolent, but her natal Dharma Aspect was the war-loving Asura King.

With malice rising in her heart, she directly burned her Divine Soul Essence Blood, transforming into a mass of red-black blood light that merged with the Asura King Dharma Aspect.

The Asura King Dharma Aspect, which still bore a hint of illusory aura, was intensified by Lingxu's burning of her Divine Soul and Essence Blood, increasing its power tenfold.

A black aura rippled from around the Asura King Dharma Aspect, and the longsword in its hand turned blood-red.

Even Celestial Fool, who was watching, was a little surprised, "This woman's ruthless, using her Divine Soul as fuel to ignite the Asura King Dharma Aspect. This Blood Transformation Divine Saber specifically kills living beings, extremely vicious..."

Lingxu merged with the Asura King, and her power skyrocketed. At this point, her mind had only one thought: to kill Gao Xuan.

She knew this state couldn't last long, so she immediately spurred the Asura King Dharma Aspect to chase and hack Gao Xuan.

At this moment, the Asura King under Lingxu's control had established a slight resonance with the real Asura King above the Nine Heavens.

This slight resonance not only increased the prestige of the Asura King Dharma Aspect but also gave Lingxu countless combat skills in her mind.

The Asuras were the most combative, the most warlike race among all beings in the Nine Heavens. To survive and continue, they naturally had unparalleled martial arts.

Lingxu instinctively exhibited the martial and combat skills obtained through resonance.

The Asura King's longsword unfurled, and instantly, the red sword light filled all directions.

Even with Gao Xuan's martial skills, he was forced to retreat repeatedly under the assault.

Gao Xuan was also surprised. He had encountered several formidable foes in his lifetime, but none had ever suppressed him on a martial level.

Lingxu transformed into the Asura King, and her sword techniques were fierce, poisonous, yet marvelously exquisite. Gao Xuan was slashed once after just two exchanges, but luckily, he triggered the Jun Heaven Wheel to dodge the opponent's longsword with incredible speed.

Gao Xuan initially intended to exchange a few moves with the Asura King, but he quickly realized the opponent's sword techniques were much superior. Engaging in close combat was self-abasement.

Gao Xuan felt a bit begrudged. Getting slashed a couple of times by the Asura King didn't matter; with the opponent's level, they couldn't break through his Primordial Cross-Training Golden Body anyway.

But with spectators around, taking a few slashes would easily expose the secret of his Golden Body.

Gao Xuan thought for a moment, then summoned back the Hongyi Sword, and stored Ripples into his Mind Sea. The upcoming battle was fierce, and a spirit body like Ripples definitely couldn't withstand a slash from the Asura King.

Holding the Hongyi Sword, which was like a glistening autumn water, Gao Xuan steeled his expression and engaged the Asura King fiercely.

Seeing Gao Xuan prepare for battle, the Asura King's eyes blazed brighter, and the Blood Transformation Divine Saber in its hand turned into a sheet of blood red that slashed down.

Gao Xuan twisted the Hongyi Sword in his hand, transforming the sword light into an extremely pure water mirror.

The water mirror reflected the Asura King, but within the water mirror, it remained deep and endless, like it concealed an endless abyss.

This sword was precisely the Abyss Sword that Gao Xuan had created, which he was quite proud of. Gao Xuan believed, purely in terms of sword intent and transformation, it was first-rate even in the Immortal Realm.

Facing the water mirror that resembled an abyss, the Asura King slashed down abruptly without hesitation.

The water mirror shattered silently, exploding into countless crystal fragments that flew all around. Each fragment bore the image of the Asura King.

It was as if the Asura King had chopped itself into thousands of pieces. Such a profound and mysterious change in sword intent directly targeted the Asura King's divine soul.

Beyond the shattered water mirror, Gao Xuan was nowhere to be seen.

The Asura King, however, was completely unfazed. The Blood Transformation Divine Saber viciously and abruptly slashed horizontally, precisely locating Gao Xuan's true body hidden behind the fragments.

Gao Xuan twisted his longsword again, turning the aqua-colored sword light into a rapidly spinning vortex that swallowed the Blood Transformation Divine Saber.

The Vortex Sword was also one of Gao Xuan's ultimate sword techniques of leveraging force to divert force.

The Asura King was undeterred by the transformations of the Vortex Sword, precisely slashing the midsection of the sword.

As the sword and saber clashed, the fierce and unmatched sword intent of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber tore through the Vortex Sword, pushing the Hongyi Sword aside by three parts.

The Blood Transformation Divine Saber followed the opening along the sword's seam, about to pierce Gao Xuan's chest. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Gao Xuan, helpless, could only trigger the Jun Heaven Wheel to retreat three feet.

His retreat was as sudden as a flash of lightning; the Blood Transformation Divine Saber was just a hair's breadth away, unable to touch Gao Xuan.

When the Asura King's strike had exhausted, Gao Xuan seized the blade of the Blood Transformation Divine Saber with his left hand.

Gao Xuan reckoned that with the power of his Golden Body, he could forcibly seize the Blood Transformation Divine Saber.

Even though he lost in sword techniques, as long as he won, it was enough.

Gao Xuan was confident, but he immediately sensed that something was amiss. The Blood Transformation Divine Saber in his hand hummed and trembled, numbing his hand slightly. Then the saber flowed out like a stream of light, transforming again into a blood blade aimed at his throat.

Such subtle transformations were seamless, and even Gao Xuan's strength couldn't match the opponent in skills.

Gao Xuan could stubbornly kill the opponent, but he was still curious to see just how strong the Asura King truly was. He triggered the Jun Heaven Wheel, transforming into a golden rainbow for rapid retreat.

Having missed several strikes, Lingxu realized that Gao Xuan was too fast. No matter how strong her sword techniques were, they were useless if she couldn't strike the opponent.

The space was also transformed by Gao Xuan's magic; she had no way to suppress Gao Xuan.

If they continued the struggle, her Divine Soul Power would soon be exhausted, and there was no chance of killing Gao Xuan.

Only the Asura King's strongest killing move, the Eternal Hell, might annihilate the opponent.

Lingxu thought of this and commanded the Asura King to press its palms together in a salute to Gao Xuan, chanting a Buddha's name lowly: "Mercy of my Buddha."

The Asura King's dark Dharma Aspect suddenly transformed into blood-red, and the Nine-Revolutions Divine Cicada deep within Gao Xuan's Mind Sea emitted a clear cry, warning Gao Xuan to be careful.

The red Asura King paused for a moment, then exploded into a sky full of blood light.

Simultaneously, Gao Xuan activated Inversion of Heaven and Earth.

The blood light that shot across the sky was like billions of Blood Arrows, shooting with unstoppable force in all directions.

This move, Eternal Hell, was originally to deal with Gao Xuan, but Gao Xuan used Inversion of Heaven and Earth to throw the self-destructed Asura King into the Arhat Array.

Dozens of Buddhist Arhats had no idea what was happening, only seeing countless Blood Arrows shooting at them.

The Asura King's strongest secret technique, Eternal Hell, was terrifying. The Dharma Aspect of five hundred Arhats was easily pierced by the Blood Arrows, and the dozens of Buddhist Arhats couldn't react and were all penetrated by the Blood Arrows.

The Eternal Hell was extremely vicious; as soon as the Arhats were tainted by a Blood Arrow, they instantly turned into puddles of pus and blood.

In an instant, all the dozens of Buddhist Arhats turned into pus and blood.

The Blood Arrows of the Eternal Hell landed on the invisible spatial barrier, burning black and red holes through it. The entire space was filled with a strong, disgusting smell.

In fact, this space was polluted by the Asura Blood Arrows, transformed into an Eternal Hell. If Gao Xuan had stayed inside, he would not have fared well either.

The vicious force made Gao Xuan secretly grateful; thankfully, it was an independent space he had created.

If Eternal Hell had been unleashed in the real world, even Bai Cang River would have been contaminated, and the riverbanks would turn into dead land...

Gao Xuan waved his sleeve, collecting this space, as the forces inside were too fierce and foul, requiring proper handling.

Celestial Fool, who had been watching the spectacle, came over and formally bowed to Gao Xuan, saying, "The Celestial Master's divine prowess is invincible, this old Taoist admits defeat…"
