Can't Beat Me

When those three great phenomena—the War God Descending, Chaos Cleaving the Heavens, and Swallowing the Heavens and Devouring the Dao—unfolded simultaneously in the valley, their resplendent divine might resonating with heaven and earth, the cultivators watching from afar completely boiled over in excitement!

"Phenomena! My god! It's phenomena! All three of them actually manifested phenomena!"

A divine sense was filled with shock and excitement.

"The War God Descending! Chaos Cleaving the Heavens! And that vortex that devours everything... Th-these are all phenomena that only exist in ancient legends! To think they would appear simultaneously today!"

Another knowledgeable old cultivator's voice trembled, as if he were witnessing a myth.

"No wonder! No wonder they can clash head-on with a Saint while only in the Heaven and Human Realm! With the blessing of these phenomena, their combat prowess, recovery speed, and affinity with the laws of heaven and earth will skyrocket!!"

Someone suddenly realized, their tone filled with envy and awe.

"Terrifying! Just what kind of monsters are these three youths?! Such talent is rare across the ages! If they survive today, they will definitely become titans who stir the winds and clouds in the future!"

Someone cried out in horror, finally understanding where those four got their arrogant confidence.

"Madness! This world has gone mad! Resisting a Saint at the Heaven and Human Realm, and even manifesting such phenomena... Today's events will surely be recorded in the annals of history!"

More exclamations and gasps of cold air intertwined in the void.

The cultivators who were originally gloating, waiting to see those four fiends crushed by the Saint, now had incredibly solemn expressions, even carrying a trace of reverence. The voices of those opening betting pools quieted down significantly.

Ku Xuan, who was in the center of the battlefield, had his murky pupils suddenly shrink the moment he saw these three great phenomena. For the first time, an expression of unbelievable shock appeared on his shriveled face!

"Phenomena?! And three completely different supreme phenomena at that?!"

Stormy waves surged in his heart. His original mindset of having guaranteed victory vanished without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and deep wariness!

He had lived for thousands of years and seen countless geniuses, but he had never seen such a sight!

He knew better than anyone what it meant to be able to manifest such perfect phenomena at the Heaven and Human Realm!

It meant that the potential of these three juniors was endless, and the terrifying level of the inheritance behind them far exceeded imagination!

Furthermore, it meant that the blessing of heaven and earth they were currently receiving was enough to largely bridge the massive gap brought by their cultivation realms!

"This is troublesome..."

Ku Xuan's heart sank. He originally thought he was just casually crushing a few slightly stronger ants, but he didn't expect to run into three true dragons about to soar into the sky!

In that instant, he even felt a trace of hesitation and the urge to retreat.

For the sake of a clue to an elixir of immortality that might not even exist, was it worth offending three monstrous geniuses with such terrifying potential and backgrounds simultaneously?

However, this trace of hesitation only existed for a split second before being replaced by a deeper ruthlessness and resolve!

"Retreat? Where else can this old man retreat to?!"

An incredibly cruel reality, like a cold poisonous snake, viciously bit at his heart.

His lifespan had long since dried up. Like a candle in the wind, he was only hanging onto his last breath through slumber and secret techniques. At most, he could only linger on for a few more years.

Even if he retreated today and hid back in the Holy Land, it would just be changing places to wait for death. His ending was already predestined!

But right before his eyes... before his eyes was a glimmer of hope for survival! No, it was a path to the heavens!

These juniors were so young yet possessed such heaven-defying phenomena and combat prowess. They must definitely harbor heaven-shaking inheritances and supreme treasures!

The fragrance of that Dao Comprehension Tea could not be faked!

If he could capture them, search their souls, seize their treasures, obtain their cultivation inheritances, and perhaps even that legendary Dao Comprehension Tea...

He might just be able to glimpse a sliver of an opportunity for a breakthrough, extend his lifespan by a thousand years, and even resume his path of the Dao!

The flames of greed instantly overpowered his reason and wariness, burning his murky eyes blood-red!

"Wealth is sought amidst danger!

This old man has eked out a living for thousands of years and is already at the end of his rope. It's death either way! I might as well risk it all and seize this heaven-sent fortune!"

Ku Xuan's shriveled chest heaved violently. His decaying vitality was actually stimulated by this crazy thought and began to boil once more.

The gaze he directed at Xiao Ruobai and the other two was no longer just filled with killing intent, but also naked, near-manic greed and possessiveness!

It was as if they were not enemies, but peerless divine medicines that could allow him to live another lifetime!

"Juniors! If you want to blame someone, blame yourselves for carrying heavy treasures without knowing the crime of harboring a jade! Today, your talents, opportunities, and even your lives will all become the resources for this old man to continue his path of the Dao!"

He no longer held back in the slightest. The decaying death aura around his body surged madly, and his Saint Dao laws operated at full capacity. The power of his Dao techniques increased once again, carrying a heavier, more rotten sense of finality as it viciously pressed down toward those three great phenomena and the three people beneath them!

"Juniors! So what if your talents are extraordinary? Today, I will let you know that in the face of an absolute gap in strength, even the strongest talent is merely a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water!"

Ku Xuan's voice was bone-chillingly cold, filled with resolute killing intent.

The great battle instantly entered a more tragic and crucial stage!

"Fight!" Xiao Ruobai shouted loudly.

The three great phenomena shone with boundless radiance, viciously colliding with that destructive torrent of death, erupting with a light that illuminated heaven and earth and a roar that shook the nine heavens!

The three of them had a momentum like a rainbow, fighting Ku Xuan to a standstill.

But Ku Xuan was a Saint after all. Even with decaying vitality, his comprehension of the Saint Dao laws and his level of power still far exceeded the three of them. Under the prolonged battle, the three gradually felt their pressure multiplying.

A ruthless glint flashed in Ku Xuan's eyes as he finally found an opportunity. The death aura on his withered claw condensed to the extreme, transforming into a dark gray finger beam that tore at the divine soul, aiming straight for the center of Xiao Ruobai's brow!

This finger strike contained his profound understanding of the Great Dao, poised for a one-hit kill!

Right at this critical juncture—

"You can't defeat me!"

Xiao Ruobai, Fang Hanyu, and Ling Xi simultaneously recited the incantation in their hearts, pushing the supreme secret technique imparted by Gu Changge to the absolute limit!

There was no earth-shattering momentum, but a more profound and deeper fluctuation of laws instantly spread out with the three of them at the center!

Their three invisible domain fields did not merge, yet they produced a wondrous resonance. Like three layers of invisible shackles, they stacked upon each other and came crashing down to envelop Ku Xuan and his Saint Dao domain!

Buzz—!!!

Ku Xuan's entire body violently shuddered, his face instantly turning deathly pale!

He felt as if he had been thrown into a completely unfamiliar world with distorted rules in an instant!

The circulation of Saint power throughout his body suddenly became incredibly sluggish, as if he were bogged down in ten-thousand-year profound ice!

The Saint intent and laws that he originally directed as easily as his own arms were now obscure and difficult to mobilize, their power reduced to less than a tenth!

What terrified him even more was that his Saint Dao domain—the very foundation upon which he became a Saint and roamed unhindered for thousands of years—was now being forcibly suppressed and compressed by an incomprehensible power, even showing faint signs of collapsing!

Looking back at Xiao Ruobai's trio, they were like fish in water within these overlapping domain fields. Their spiritual senses were sharpened to the extreme. Every minute flaw of Ku Xuan, every node of his power transitions, was presented incomparably clearly in their minds!
