I Seek Immortality Through Serendipity

Chapter 507: Chapter 345: Lifting Mountains Holding Tripods, Primordial Magnetic Golden Bone!

The Dao Sword cuts through the three souls, leaving the body a corpse instantly!

This is the true core secret seal of the Yunji Sect, a Dharma seal with a heavy slaughter power. Once unleashed, the enemy cultivator’s three souls fly uncontrollably, and then the Dao Sword flies, slaying the soul instantly.

This sword is shapeless and invisible, yet swift as lightning, killing silently.

Countless renowned cultivators and Great Demons, who shook vast domains, have perished under this sword.

The Soul-Slaying Sword is not restrained by ordinary protective techniques and is swifter than Gu Yuan’s sword light, instantly striking toward Gu Yuan.

This sudden scene seemed to reverse, and above the clouds, everyone watching dared not breathe.

Master Mingde, occupying the main seat, had a White Jade Seal, glowing vibrantly, trembling incessantly, before his knees.

This was the Tier Four High-grade Spiritual Treasure bestowed by a True Person of the Yunji Sect, the Soul Suppressing Great Seal.

Once this seal is activated, any cultivator below the Daoist Embryo level has their divine soul frozen, and their mana suppressed, rendering them motionless like mere mortals.

This seal has guaranteed the normal conduct of numerous Dharma Assemblies over the years.

Once activated, conflicts cease immediately, preventing any injury from occurring.

At this moment, Master Mingzun observed the battlefield, noted the reversal, and, with a hint of a smile on his lips, stirred his mana, ready to activate the seal to protect Gu Yuan.

For many years, no one has ever been able to withstand the Soul-Slaying Sword.

"Buzzing!"

But just as he was about to activate the Great Seal, he found it immobile, as if an overarching will had settled upon it.

Master Mingde’s expression changed instantly, looking up to the skies above the Abyss Pool.

"Boom!"

At this moment, an invisible, intangible but terrifying beam, as if composed of countless lightning flashes, burst forth, piercing through the floating clouds, striking Sunx Fashan directly.

The three Dao Swords that cut souls in the air emitted a mournful cry but couldn’t even resist under this beam, turning to void in an instant.

Everyone looked closely and saw at Gu Yuan’s forehead, a Dao Seal, seemingly composed of countless thunders, slowly closed like a third eye on his forehead, shutting tight.

Yet the terrifying Soul Power that burst out momentarily, enough to shake mountains and rivers, lingered long, sweeping all the floating clouds aside, revealing the blue Celestial Vault.

Under this Celestial Vault, a grand sword light, having already traversed the void at an unknown time, stretched under Sunx Fashan’s neck, only needing an inch more for Sunx Fashan’s head to be severed.

"Fellow Daoist Sunx, I concede!"

As everyone was stunned, a hearty laugh brought everyone’s thoughts back, and someone even shivered unconsciously.

Under the Celestial Vault, Gu Yuan stood with hands behind his back, smiling at Sunx Fashan.

Sunx Fashan’s face was deathly pale, but looking at the golden brilliance of the sword light on his neck, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, hoarsely saying, "Well played, Fellow Daoist. I am defeated!"

After speaking, his figure flickered, disappearing to an unknown place.

"What, defeated just like that?"

On the viewing platform, many cultivators seemed yet to comprehend, clueless.

The final Magical Combat was as swift as lightning, but devoid of grand spiritual light, with only terrifying Soul Power overflows, leaving them unable to respond.

In mere moments, they saw Gu Yuan cupping his hands, and then the biggest contender of the Dharma Assembly, Master Luo Fu of the Yunji Sect, was lost without a trace.

"Divine Soul Battle Technique is the swiftest and most perilous. Fellow Daoist Sunx thought the Soul-Slaying Sword, which instantly slays the three souls, was a surefire victory technique and the best method to deal with a Great Sword Cultivator like Master Feiyu. Yet, it turns out this Master Feiyu’s Soul Cultivation is far more formidable than imagined. This Dharma Eye seems innate, a true Divine Power not inferior to any Golden Seal, coupled with Golden Core Peak’s Soul Power, even the Yunji Sect’s Soul-Slaying Technique couldn’t prevail!"

"No, it’s not just because Master Feiyu’s Soul Cultivation is formidable; his Sword Dao is equally fierce. With Golden Core Peak’s Soul Power, Fellow Daoist Sunx should have been prepared. Didn’t you see this powerful Divine Soul Dharma Eye didn’t kill Fellow Daoist Sunx? The real kill stroke was hidden under this Dharma Eye’s Boundless Sword Light!"

"When using this Dharma Eye, Master Feiyu still had the leisure to control the sword light to follow as a shadow, piercing through Fellow Daoist Sunx’s protective technique, slashing right at the neck, which was the deadliest!"

"It’s a pity; this cultivation level matches a true Sword Dao Great Cultivator. Along with the terrifying Soul Power cultivated from unknown sources, Fellow Daoist Sunx, even with many mysterious techniques, couldn’t unleash them..."

On the Cloud Chariot, many Golden Core Cultivators with keen insight observed the situation, sighing deeply.

Sword Dao, Soul Dao—either one of these, when mastered, is a one-hit kill technique, endlessly fierce, with life and death hanging in the balance with every move.

And this Master Feiyu mastered both, showing his ferocity.

The Yunji Sect, a major sect that has endured for thousands of years with countless Secret Techniques, undoubtedly Sunx Fashan had other means. But when he chose the Soul Dao Technique trying to turn the tide, the outcome was already sealed.

Great Cultivator’s Magical Combat sometimes lasts several days to half a month, but sometimes it’s over in seconds.

A single misstep can lead to complete defeat, just like this.

...

...

Gu Yuan felt a bit introspective.

The Yunji Sect’s way to cut through the three souls was indeed profound, but his Soul Power was a cut above, with the Great Thunder Origin Cave Divine Dharma Eye piercing through everything with might, concluding what could have been a lengthy Magical Combat.

And now, around the Golden Lotus Platform, while many shadows were watching intently, no one spoke for the moment.

Slashing open the Celestial Abyss with a single sword, defeating Sunx Fashan again, Gu Yuan’s elegance had deeply etched into everyone’s mind.

Those who wanted to challenge had to measure their own strength.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan chuckled lightly and then leisurely walked toward the Golden Lotus Platform.

"Fellow Daoist Lii, admirable skill, excellent cultivation!"

"Fellow Daoist Sunx roamed the Great Domain for centuries, rarely tasting defeat, yet today lost the first match at your hands!"

"But if you want to take the top package, you’ll have to ask me first!"

Just then, from behind Gu Yuan came a deep, resonant voice.

Gu Yuan turned around to see a brawny man, his chest half-exposed, standing nine feet tall, staring intently at him.

The brawny man’s mana aura was relatively normal, but the surging Qi Blood he emitted was like rolling wolf smoke, soaring into the sky, as if a giant furnace ablaze in the air.

"Oh, it’s Fellow Daoist Zangyue from the Mountain-Suppressing Temple!"

Gu Yuan remarked with a smile.

The Mountain-Suppressing Temple was a rare sect specializing in "body cultivation," otherwise known as Power Cultivators.

Compared to normal Dharma Dao cultivation, Power Dao cultivation is more arduous and might not necessarily withstand Dharma Dao Cultivators.

After all, although Power Cultivators possess mighty physical bodies, Dharma Dao Cultivators manipulate heaven and earth’s Spiritual Qi, inhaling clouds and exhaling fog, controlling wind and lightning, understanding Yin and Yang, boasting tremendous Divine Power.

If also leveraging artifacts, they become more fearsome, wielding Great Divine Power, Great Mana.

On the other hand, Power Cultivation requires endless spiritual materials to forge the "Body Seal," improve one’s constitution, and refine the root bone, gradually honing the physical body, which might take indefinite time, still possibly unable to match Dharma Dao Cultivators, hence it is not a mainstream method, thus gradually waning.

When Gu Yuan was in the South Mountain Domain, there wasn’t even a mention of a "Power Dao Grand Sect."

However, if the spiritual material resources are abundant, along with profound techniques, a Power Cultivator’s combat power is incomparable, capable of moving mountains and lifting peaks, crushing artifacts bare-handed, resisting Celestial Thunder, and breaking rivers with a shout—all are common feats.

Mountain-Suppressing Temple is precisely such a Power Dao Grand Sect.

It is said that within the sect, there is a rare "Heaven-Earth Spirit Root," allowing it to continuously cultivate Power Dao prodigies.

This sect was a strong contender for the top rank in the last competition.

Now, Master Zangyue observed Gu Yuan’s Sword Technique Soul Light but still dared to challenge, undoubtedly having something to rely on.

On the clouds, everyone focused their gaze sharply.

"Fellow Daoist Lii, I’ve witnessed your skill. If you can break my Dharma Body, I will retreat immediately, no longer challenging you!"

After speaking, the brawny man’s head shone, an [斗] character Dharma Seal, like a star, suddenly lit up, followed by his already surging Qi Blood rising like a Great Sun, and his nine-foot-tall body transformed directly into a ten-zhang-tall giant.

Moreover, swaying his shoulders, under the [斗] character Dharma Seal, a [金] character fragmentary seal flowed out abruptly, while beneath the [金] character seal, the small seals of [元磁] followed.

In addition to that, one after another, tiny seals, like star dust and golden patterns, circulated upward.

Finally, atop the brawny man’s head gathered into eight character seals.

"Lifting Mountains Holding Tripods!"

"Primordial Magnetic Golden Bone!"
