Chapter 162: Severing Dusk and Dawn with One Sword!

Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea, outside Heaven-Mending Peak.

At first glance, the gloomy sky was empty. However, in reality, the Foundation Establishment Realm was long filled with people. Seven or eight Perfected Ones were squatting and guarding within it.

“Yo. You came too?”

“Joining the fun.”

“Together, together.”

Several Saint Sect Perfected Ones stood together, communicating very happily. Everyone had an enthusiastic smile on their face, as if they were senior and junior brothers with sincere feelings.

“How long has Wu Cang been inside?”

“About the time of one incense stick. Middle Stage fighting Initial Stage, there shouldn’t be any accidents. The formation is also set up. Once he comes out, we’ll immediately knock him out with a sap!”

“He has offended Yuan Tu to death this time.”

“Wait until Wu Cang grabs the things and comes out. We’ll grab the Perfected Lord’s manuscript back, sneak a few peeks in the meantime, and then dump all karma onto Wu Cang…”

“If you ask me, this Wu Cang is far inferior to Yuan Tu. Although both brought skills to join the sect, Yuan Tu clearly obtained the essence of our Saint Sect. On the contrary, Wu Cang can never change his rogue cultivator nature. Bad but not crafty. This life will just be like that; hard days are still long ahead.”

Several Saint Sect Perfected Ones chatted with fervor and assurance, appearing very calm.

Clearly, Wu Cang thought his action was secretive, but how could it hide from those with intentions? It was just that everyone happened to need a shield.

However, just then—

Boom.

With a loud noise, the Perfected Ones inside the Foundation Establishment Realm raised their heads one after another. They saw Heaven-Mending Peak shaking slightly, faintly projecting a patch of magnificent illusionary colors.

“Actually able to cause a commotion?”

Now, some Saint Sect Perfected Ones were truly curious: “What does this Wu Cang do for a living? Middle Stage fighting Initial Stage, actually allowing someone to make noise?”

“Are rogue cultivators so incompetent?”

“Not to that extent. Although that Wu Cang has average scheming ability and doesn’t understand playing with karma, he does have combat proficiency, at least on the level of the Middle Stage.”

“So it’s not that he is too weak?”

As soon as these words came out, the Saint Sect Perfected Ones present fell silent instantly. Their expressions changed one by one, and when they looked at Heaven-Mending Peak again, a bit more shock had already appeared.

Meanwhile, inside Heaven-Mending Peak.

Lu Yang held the [Avici Sword] in reverse with one hand, still not stopping the input of spiritual. His other hand was channeling Divine Ability, and a Dao sound came from his mouth:

“Insects and reptiles eat Qi, dissolve and kill myriad intents!”

[Clarify Right and Wrong]!

As this Dao decree fell, all Qi-Eating Insects received enhancement. Their mortal bodies actually gained a few bits of Foundation Establishment profundity out of thin air, and their power skyrocketed abruptly.

“Damned bugs!”

Seeing this, Wu Cang frowned tightly. He wasn’t afraid of these Qi-Eating Insects. So what if there were one hundred and forty million? Spending great spiritual power to urge his Life-Bound Divine Ability, he could still kill them cleanly. But in that case, he would inevitably consume a lot of spiritual power and be delayed for quite some time.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Lu Yang again.

To be precise, he glanced at the [Avici Sword] held in reverse behind Lu Yang’s back. His spiritual consciousness sensed a fatal threat from it.

Absolutely cannot be stalled!

In an instant, Wu Cang had made a decision, forming a hand seal with one hand.

With this move, a novel change suddenly arose within the sky-supporting large tree transformed from his Dao Foundation. A spark actually ignited within the tree crown.

In a flash, the single spark turned into a prairie fire!

The entire tree crown turned into a huge fireball. Crimson firelight illuminated the sky vault. Even with the formation’s enhancement, it could almost hardly conceal its brilliance!

“[Bu Nan Ben]!”

In an instant, wood died and fire was born, transforming heaven and earth into a furnace. Placing himself within it, Lu Yang even felt that every breath through his mouth and nose was mixed with scorching pain.

It’s an Innate Divine Ability!

At the center of Lu Yang’s brows, the [Investigating Heaven Sphere] operated, its precious light illuminating thoroughly. Instantly, he understood the details of the opponent’s Divine Ability.

Very similar to Arhat Fu Long’s [Fire Blazing Dragon]… This is transformed from the Qi of Heavenly Spirit belong to [E Feng], also called ‘Jia Wood’, a pure Yang precious tree…

However, Wu Cang and Arhat Fu Long still had differences.

Arhat Fu Long’s [Fire Blazing Dragon] was obtained from the intersection of Heavenly Stem [E Feng] and Earthly Branch [Zhi Xu]. With Heavenly stem as the main, the essence was Earth and Wood generating Fire.

However, [Bu Nan Ben] was different.

This Innate Divine Ability was a product of the combination of Heavenly Stem [E Feng] and Earthly Branch [Dun Zang]. The meaning taken was— Fire relies on Wood to be born; when Fire is prosperous, Wood must be burned!

The imagery of the Divine Ability just happened to echo Wu Cang’s [Coiled Dragon Divine Wood Dao Foundation]. At this moment, sacrificing Wood to Fire, the flame urged out was fierce to the extreme, known as “Heavenly Furnace Li Fire.” Any Wood-attribute Divine Abilities or spiritual treasures would only have one result — reduced to ashes beneath this flame.

Whoosh whoosh—!

The sky full of Qi-Eating Insects almost took this flame head-on, instantly turning into flying ash in patches. However, that monstrous fire momentum seemed not to weaken in the slightest.

As Wu Cang pointed with his hand seal, the flame came through the air!

Almost simultaneously, the hand seal in Wu Cang’s hand changed. The [Coiled Dragon Precious Fir Tree] behind him bloomed and bore fruit again. This time, the fruits were one green and one gold.

“Go!”

In the next second, two fruits fell from the precious tree, actually generating two profundities likewise. cooperating with that “Heavenly Furnace Li Fire,” they covered Lu Yang together!

These were the three profundities of Wu Cang’s Life-Bound Divine Ability [Coiled Dragon Precious Fir Tree]. The red fruit was named “Fire in Wood,” which could burn and kill Dharma bodies. The green fruit was named “Flat Peach Pit,” which could fix shapes, making it difficult for people to escape. The gold fruit was named “Dragon Scale Seed,” which could prosper Qi, greatly increasing the might of Divine Abilities.

Life-Bound Divine Ability, three profound mysteries.

One main attack, one main control, one enhancement. completely uninvolved with karma and heavenly secrets. All goals were to bring the killing power of the Divine Ability to the limit!

For a time, heaven and earth both displayed light and darkness.

With Wu Cang as the dividing line, forward was “Heavenly Furnace Li Fire” burning clouds and piercing the sky, illuminating the Six Directions like noon. Backward was moonless, windy, and high, exactly deep night.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yang finally sighed.

In the next second, Li Fire touched his body!

Then something that made Wu Cang dumbfounded happened… Lu Yang shook his sleeve robe, spiritual power flowing naturally, and actually flung the flame away!

This response was extremely dashing.

The manipulation of spiritual power was even exquisite to an indescribable degree. It almost stunned Wu Cang, who subconsciously drove the flame to pounce at him again.

Then it was flung away by him easily again.

How is this possible!?

Wu Cang didn’t believe in heresy, urging the flame to press up again. And this time, Lu Yang finally lost the calmness of the previous two times, instantly turning into a burning man.

In an instant, Lu Yang’s whole body was roasted by the “Heavenly Furnace Li Fire” until skin and flesh split open, revealing white jade-like flawless bones. Flowing fire poured into his chest, lungs, spleen, and viscera, burning through his internal organs. For a time, even the breath he exhaled carried sparks. This time he was almost heavily injured by Wu Cang’s one strike!

However, just then, a laughter came from within the fire.

“…Heh!”

Amidst the rolling flowing fire, Lu Yang raised his head, grinning. His ignited eyes looked straight at Wu Cang like two suns.

The [Avici Sword] in his hand trembled slightly.

This gold-swallowing beast had been constantly swallowing his spiritual power since the beginning of the battle. Only now did it finally give a little response, seeming to be finally full.

Lu Yang looked up at Wu Cang, decreeing from his mouth: “Kill!”

[Clarify Right and Wrong] urged. Like the Son of Heaven opening his mouth in the high hall, words followed by law. Brilliant golden Divine Ability colors instantly enhanced the Avici Sword.

In the next second, Lu Yang had already offered up the [Avici Sword]!

Blood light mixed with gold, like heaven and earth dividing into two, Yin and Yang separated. The sky color originally showing dusk and dawn due to the illumination of Li Fire was actually slashed open by one sword at this moment!

Severing Dusk and Dawn with One Sword!

This sword was not merely purely exploding physical objects, but cutting straight at spirituality. After emitting a burst of explosive sound, the “Heavenly Furnace Li Fire” slashed open by it actually faded its original spiritual wonder, turning into ordinary fire in an instant. It drifted away just like that, revealing Wu Cang’s figure hiding behind the flames.

Wu Cang’s eyes were wide open, blood spurting from his mouth and nose.

And on his body, a sword mark visible to the naked eye was reflected on his waist and abdomen. Flesh and blood split gradually as time passed. He was actually cut in half at the waist just like that!
