CHAPTER 541: 279、FEATHERED IMMORTALS! TRAGIC VICTORY!

Immediately after, the youth in a green robe raised his hand, and an identical, or perhaps even more violent, sword light quickly surged from all directions.

In an instant, the void could hardly withstand such a tremendous force, collapsing and shattering.

"Nirvana Technique!"

Xu Xing let out a low shout, and the Golden Crow Avatar behind him burned with infinite light. Within the light, a phantom phoenix spread its wings and flew.

His momentum became increasingly powerful, like a radiant Great Sun, and the appearance of Sun True Fire turned into gold and silver.

The breath of life’s Dao Principles covered his entire body, and the bloodline of the Golden Crow Immortal Body began to revive, its aura even more ancient than before.

Under the power of the bloodline, clusters of flames fell from the Sun Star, staining the surrounding hundred miles into a golden sea of fire.

CLANG! CLANG!

Another sword resonated.

Zhongtai Dao Monarch and the others showed horrified expressions, as if a great terror was about to descend upon their heads. They looked up to see Xu Xing, who had been in front of them just moments before, already transformed into a sword light amidst thousands of sword shadows, charging at them.

CLANG!

The sound of metal rang out.

When the Taoist Treasures of various sects encountered the Tide Feather Sword, their spirituality significantly weakened. Some were cut down directly, while others were flung away.

After the Xiyi Sword and Jueming Pen, two Taoist Treasures, could no longer withstand the power of the Immortal Sword, Xu Xing finally approached the Vermilion Bird Avatar.

Brilliant light suddenly shone.

The Vermilion Bird Avatar was instantly torn into fragments. The Thirteen Array Flags emitted the sound of tearing silk and broke in half in the hands of Zhongtai Dao Monarch and the others. The celestial formation manifested by the Nine Suns Fire Pillar Array immediately dissipated, and the area returned to its original state.

"The array is broken?"

"This battle is won by Master Xu! He achieved victory in just one day..."

The onlookers from various sects exclaimed as they saw the red fire pillar in front of them disappear.

The challenge agreement stated that as long as Xu Xing survived for three days, the Flying Feather Immortal Palace would no longer trouble the Butian Sect. However, at this moment, Xu Xing had directly torn through the array with his great Divine Power in just one day—it was nothing short of a miracle.

"From today onward, the decline of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace may begin. We have witnessed history in the Cultivation World..."

Some sighed in reflection.

The Flying Feather Immortal Palace, an esteemed Higher Teaching that had stood in East Huangzhou for tens of thousands of years, had not only lost its Orthodox title to the Butian Sect but was also suppressed by Xu Xing in front of the Righteous Path sects. He had broken the Arranged Array they had set up, causing them to lose both reputation and influence.

"From now on, the Butian Sect can truly be considered established. We should also consider establishing formal ties with them..."

The Sect Masters from the various sects communicated via Divine Sense, deciding to establish relations with the Butian Sect once today’s battle concluded.

Previously, at the Welcome Hall, although the Butian Sect had been established, none of the other sects had truly formed ties with them, offering only verbal support.

"Indeed!"

The Cultivators nodded slightly in agreement.

After their discussion, the Cultivators once again focused their Divine Sense on the Nine Suns Fire Pillar Array Remains hovering in the sky, continuing to observe the battle between the two factions.

After Xu Xing broke through the Vermilion Bird Avatar manifested by the Nine Suns Fire Pillar Array and severed the Thirteen Array Flags that formed it, his Magic Power seemed to wane, and his attacks were no longer as sharp or unstoppable as before.

However, fortunately, after the array was broken, the Thirteen Dao Lords of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace did not completely cast aside their dignity.

At this time, aside from Zhongtai Dao Monarch and three Dao Lords from the Aristocratic Families who were engaged in a fierce battle with Xu Xing, the other Dao Lords chose to stand by and watch, maintaining a standoff with the Seven Dao Lords of the Butian Sect.

Sword lights constantly flickered in the Heavenly Vault. Without the protection of the Large Array, Zhongtai Dao Monarch not only avoided immediate defeat but fought Xu Xing on even terms. It seemed the previous array had actually restricted his movements and hindered him.

The two sides exchanged blows, abandoning their slower Divine Powers and Spells, relying solely on their magical swords to clash and duel.

After more than ten breaths, the three Dao Lords from the Aristocratic Families who had joined the fray were miserably forced out, injured by the shockwaves of Xu Xing and Zhongtai Dao Monarch’s battle. Their auras diminished greatly, and some even suffered damage to their Immortal Bodies, losing arms.

"Your swordsmanship shows glimpses of your master’s skill, but... it still needs refinement..."

After a brief period of sword fighting, Zhongtai Dao Monarch and Xu Xing created some distance. His eyes flickered a few times, and he snorted coldly, saying, "As soon as my words fell,"

Before Xu Xing could respond, he summoned two more magical swords, strapping them to his back before charging at Xu Xing once more.

Their sword lights intertwined as they fought from dusk till deep into the night, continuing for a full two days and two nights with no sign of stopping.

"It seems Zhongtai Dao Monarch is unwilling to be defeated by Lord Xu and wants to regain some face. Unfortunately for him, Lord Xu is not lacking in foundation either..."

"Even after consuming so much Magic Power, he still shows no sign of defeat."

The Cultivators from the various sects also discerned Zhongtai Dao Monarch’s intention: he sought to regain some face by battling Xu Xing, which was why he had fought so fiercely until now without retreating.

"Flying Immortal Art!"

Hearing the crowd’s discussions, Zhongtai Dao Monarch’s brows furrowed. He glanced at the sky, noting it was midnight. After a moment of hesitation, he made his decision.

As his voice fell, a faint light appeared in the night sky, illuminating the surrounding hundred miles. Strands of misty Immortal Qi descended from above, settling upon Zhongtai Dao Monarch.

It was as if a passage to the Immortal World had been opened.

In that instant, Zhongtai Dao Monarch was drawn by the guiding Immortal light. He ascended towards the moon, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall Feather Robe Immortal wearing a star crown.

At this moment, the Feather Robe Immortal looked down from the Heavenly Vault at the Cultivators in the mortal realm, his gaze utterly indifferent and cold.
