The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 236 - 204: Two Profound Yellow Origin Fragments!
Chu Huaixu never expected that this trip to the Origin Spirit Realm would come with a buy-one-get-one-free service.
"Elder Ye is really too generous, actually bringing me another Profound Yellow Origin Fragment."
Ye Kongxuan took it out from his own storage pouch and quickly placed it on his own forehead!
In the next moment, the mirror-like Origin Fragment merged into the four-colored mark on his forehead.
But bizarrely, it only merged halfway.
It looked as if it was embedded in his forehead, forcibly stuck in his flesh and blood.
And the aura emanating from Ye Kongxuan suddenly changed!
His momentum was rising continuously, and the True Qi within him was growing disorderly and violent!
Chu Huaixu instantly understood.
"So, what the Daoist Ancestor's Proverbs described was actually this kind of scene!"
"Those from Kunlun Cave Heaven, upon entering the Origin Spirit Realm, are suppressed by the Power of Origin, unable to wield their full strength."
"The Daoist Ancestor's Proverbs said that this suppression would be weakened."
"Turns out, it's because the other party brought an Origin Fragment and forcefully merged it into themselves to weaken the suppression!"
"To think they would use such a tactic!"
As for where this fragment came from, it could only have been snatched earlier by Kunlun Cave Heaven!
Jiang Zhi mentioned before that the cultivators from Profound Yellow Realm who entered the Origin Spirit Realm had about an eighty percent success rate.
Meaning, a certain amount of Origin Fragments had been plundered by Kunlun Cave Heaven.
It's likely, without surprise, that the so-called great tribulation of heaven and earth is Kunlun Cave Heaven's attempt to connect worlds to invade during the approaching End of the Dharma Era!
And the Profound Yellow Origin Fragments are probably the most crucial essentials.
"Ye Kongxuan brought one fragment, intending to seize another?"
"This is nothing short of a dangerous gamble!"
"It shows that the situation in Kunlun Cave Heaven must be dire, for after a millennium of planning, they take such a desperate risk." Chu Huaixu analyzed in his heart.
But since they've chosen to do this, it seems they're determined to obtain this Profound Yellow Origin Fragment!
At this moment, the terrifying power emanating from Ye Kongxuan continued to spread outward.
This is the power of the [Profound Yellow Origin Fragment]!
Chu Huaixu quickly retreated several meters, knowing he was no match for it.
This cultivator from the Kunlun Sect displayed endless agony on his face.
With a hoarse voice, he shouted at Chu Huaixu, "Profound Yellow brat, to think you forced me to this extent!"
"Do you know once this body is tainted with the aura of the Profound Yellow Origin, when I return to Kunlun Cave Heaven, I will be disliked by the Heavenly Dao, suppressed by my Kunlun Heavenly Dao!"
"In such a scenario, my cultivation may never progress, and I'll have to abandon it! I must find a suitable body for possession!"
"This body is incomparably perfect, with extraordinary talent and physique, and a Spirit Root that's exceedingly rare!"
"Tell me, what should I do with you?" His face twisted into a grimace.
Chu Huaixu quietly watched him, showing no trace of fear on his face.
He calmly said:
"That's easy."
"I'll kill you, then you won't have to return and endure Kunlun Heavenly Dao's humiliation."
....
....
"Boom——!"
A chaotic pressure spread around, pushing Chu Huaixu back half a step.
Ye Kongxuan had slowly stood up, appearing vastly different from before!
Fortunately, he only intended to taint himself with a bit of Origin Power's aura to weaken the suppression of the Power of Origin.
He seemed incapable of absorbing much of the [Profound Yellow Origin Fragment]'s power.
Otherwise...
"I'd be heartbroken!" Chu Huaixu thought.
Damn, in that case, this fragment wouldn't be saturated anymore!?
With the aura of Origin Power no longer leaking, Chu Huaixu dared to step forward and fight.
The formidable power from before had made him too wary to approach.
Ye Kongxuan looked at the young man opposite him, with only one arm left but an expression of arrogant defiance.
"Profound Yellow brat, even now, still attempting to kill me?"
"Truly an ant from the Lower Realm, ignorant of the vastness of the heavens and earth!"
Chu Huaixu deliberately used his words against him.
"Lower Realm? Then your so-called Upper Realm is likely near or already in the End of the Dharma Era, isn't it?" he scoffed. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Ye Kongxuan, instead of being angry, burst into laughter.
"That's unimportant! Do you know why we call Kunlun Cave Heaven just a cave heaven?"
"When your Profound Yellow Realm falls into our hands, we'll term it a cave heaven too!"
Chu Huaixu understood the underlying meaning.
Judging from this statement, Kunlun Cave Heaven seemed to have been seized by the Kunlun Sect countless years ago!?
No wonder, no wonder!
So that's why they're repeat offenders!
Ye Kongxuan ceased speaking any further, raising his left hand to form a seal as the remaining three flying swords circled around him.
"Profound Yellow brat, I have tainted myself with your Lower Realm's Origin aura, little time remains."
"Prepare to die!"
Chu Huaixu looked at him, saying, "Coincidentally, my time is also limited, so hurry and die too!"
Both men spoke the truth.
For Chu Huaixu, the duration was limited after the Heart Sword left the body.
Under normal circumstances, using the polite Borrowed Sword technique, he wouldn't harm others' Sword Spirits, and could only borrow for three breaths, five at most!
Otherwise, the mere existence of the Heart Sword's personage would harm the Sword Spirit.
This was genuinely just borrowing, with what was borrowed returned perfectly intact to its owner.
He now holds the Four Symbols White Tiger Sword, and this is not a matter of borrowing anymore—it's a case of "I must take it even if it's impolite!"
When the Heart Sword entered the White Tiger, it shattered it, taking over its place.
This way, the separation time can be extended significantly, but it is still limited.
Just now, when Chu Huaixu saw Ye Kongxuan forcibly staining himself with the Origin Qi, unable to get closer, he simply... let the Heart Sword return to the Sea of Consciousness to rest.
After all, the White Tiger Sword Spirit had been destroyed, and the opponent could no longer summon it back.
He is clearly someone who carefully plans his days, and only now did he let his Heart Sword enter the White Tiger again.
With his current power, this in-and-out technique can only be practiced three times within a day.
And the duration of each time is getting shorter.
Therefore, Chu Huaixu aimed for a swift and decisive victory.
Ye Kongxuan lifted his only remaining left arm and made a move in the air.
This time, he did not hold the Cyan Dragon Sword in his hand but chose the Black Tortoise Sword instead.
Previously, after the White Tiger Sword was taken away by Chu Huaixu, he fought with the Cyan Dragon, and for some unknown reason, the Cyan Dragon Sword Spirit was injured within a few strikes.
Now, he could only switch to the Black Tortoise.
"It suits the occasion," thought Chu Huaixu, holding someone else's White Tiger in his heart.
Their figures instantly disappeared, both using their body techniques to move forward.
Ye Kongxuan shouted, "This kind of sword that harms both the enemy and oneself, let's see how many more strikes you can make!"
"Then you better watch closely!" Chu Huaixu replied loudly, "It doesn't matter how many strikes I can make, but you've only got one arm left!"
——[Six Out of Seven]!
His barely healed right arm suddenly emitted a cracking sound.
That sound would be excruciating even for a bystander to hear.
The terrifying self-healing ability of the Dao Scripture had already stopped the bleeding and began to rapidly heal his lacerated arm.
At this moment, however, blood splattered out again, and the torn skin and flesh split more severely, each crack was so horrifying!
Using [Six Out of Seven] for the second time, Chu Huaixu felt the meridians in his right arm start to suffer damage.
The pain and destruction began to spread toward his right shoulder, where he also began to hear the sound of bones cracking!
Chu Huaixu's whole right side started to go numb, ache, and swell!
His chest muscles, abdominal muscles, and lower back all emanated a tearing sensation!
That bone-chilling coldness, like ice and snow, spread throughout his body.
Yet the blood-red lightning swirling around the sword began to burst more violently!
The two bloody holes bored through Chu Huaixu's body had already stopped bleeding, but now the blood began to flow wildly again.
Ye Kongxuan watched his opponent ravage his own body in this way!
Yet, perversely, the young man's gaze remained unchanged throughout.
If there was any change, it was that the killing intent had increased!
"Black Tortoise Sword Formulas!" The Four Symbols Black Tortoise Sword in his hand began to condense an incomparably thick power.
He had already fallen for the other party's insane methods once.
The cost was his entire right arm and half his right shoulder!
Ye Kongxuan couldn't fathom how such a monster had been cultivated in the Profound Yellow Realm!
Such a First Realm cultivator, if not personally handled by this one, any child in the Qi Refining Stage within the sect would die one after another! Whoever came would face certain death!
"Even if I hadn't brought this Origin Fragment, I would be doomed here!" This was the most absurd part to him.
This demonic prodigy, given time, would certainly become a major threat!
The two swords clashed, and both were shaken and flew several feet away.
The two flying swords in the air took the opportunity to strike towards Chu Huaixu.
He maneuvered the power of the Heart Sword, launching an assault on the Sword Spirit.
The jet-black airflow shielded his body once more, barely blocking them.
Chu Huaixu spat out fresh blood, and Ye Kongxuan's left arm was also covered with dense wounds.
The left shoulder of this cultivator drooped a bit, and merely holding the sword brought endless stabbing pain, causing his arm to hang down.
But what about Chu Huaixu?
His right arm was almost completely ruined!
Yet he held the sword tightly!
Ye Kongxuan couldn't imagine the immense determination required to stubbornly endure like this!
The young man clad in a black robe was drenched in blood.
Even though he'd accumulated internal injuries during the brief skirmish, he didn't stop but charged again without a moment's hesitation, giving neither of them any respite.
Being severely injured should weaken his combat power.
How was he acting as if nothing had happened!
"The right hand can still manage another sword strike, and then it's completely done for!" thought Chu Huaixu.
"After it's done, I'll use the left hand!"
If it wasn't for Body Refining, an ordinary sword cultivator would likely just wait to die after unleashing a single strike.
The two clashed swords once more!
Ye Kongxuan, utilizing that trace of Origin Qi, could boost his power by several levels.
Yet despite this, he still felt that his left arm was about to give out.
They were both shaken back several feet, each crashing into a tree, bringing it down.
Three breaths later, the trees "repaired" themselves and returned to their original state.
Ye Kongxuan gasped heavily, barely able to withstand the endless pain from his body, sweating all over.
He lifted his gaze to the young man in the distance, only to see Chu Huaixu still expressionless.
"You ask me how many more times I can use [Six Out of Seven]?"
Chu Huaixu made just one move, which instilled some fear and despair in the heart of this Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
He slowly shifted the long sword from his right hand to his left.
