Volume 2: Achieving the Nine Heavens and Breaking the Cage Chapter 549: Gu Xiaoxing's Changes in Mind
The thousands of miles of black ice lake area turned into a vast ocean under the cover of extremely high temperatures!
Moreover, the water level was still dropping. There was no mist gushing out due to the massive evaporation of water. Instead, the endless water directly vaporized under the terrifyingly high temperature!
As Yantian waved the flame flag for the fifth time, countless lines appeared on the flag, which turned deep red. With the flag as the center, a thick layer of ripples spread and pressed downwards.
These ripples are like a layer of sky, containing unimaginable high temperature and high pressure!
With this strike, all the energy in the flame flag was completely released by Yantian!
This is almost as terrifying a force as that generated by a complete explosion of a small eternal sun!
When this circle of ripples falls, it will be enough to sweep away everything. Whether it is Xuantian City or Xuantian Palace, they will probably be destroyed and the building will collapse!
But Gu Xiaoxing will never allow this to happen!
“Stop it!”
With a devil-like roar, Gu Xiaoxing's huge body soared into the sky. He held a golden wooden sword in his hand, and his eyes shone with a strange light!
It transformed into a demon sword of will that was tens of thousands of miles long, and at this moment it burst out with unprecedented power!
Gu Xiaoxing stared at the ripples rippling from with a firm and unwavering expression, and suddenly spoke!
"My sword...wants to split the sky!"
Suddenly, as Gu Xiaoxing's voice fell, a strange rune appeared on the Will Demon Sword.
This is... the innate magic rune!
Before, Gu Xiaoxing had always performed the innate technique with his own hands, but this was the first time he used the Demonic Sword of Will to perform it!
The moment the rune appeared on the sword, the aura of the entire sword suddenly changed!
It was originally a demonic sword with the will to kill everything, and with the integration of innate techniques, it seemed that the sword's indomitable willpower was elevated to the extreme!
It was so extreme that even the wooden sword could not bear it. Cracks began to appear on the sword body that was tens of thousands of miles long, centered on the innate magic runes!
Gu Xiaoxing's eyes focused, and without hesitation, he held the Will Spirit Sword and slashed open the sky!
If the rippling waves were like a layer of sky, then what Gu Xiaoxing was performing at this moment was the true art of opening the sky!
I saw that the sky that was covering the sky was instantly torn apart from the center, and the entire sky collapsed in an instant and turned into nothingness!
The sword of creation was mighty as it flew straight to Yantian above the nine heavens!
Yan Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved the flaming flag, trying to block the sword, but instead he broke the flag into pieces!
But the power of Gu Xiaoxing's sword still continues!
The next moment, Yan Tian was cut into two halves by the Kaitian Sword!
But what was strange was that after Yantian was cut into two halves, what gushed out from the broken end was not blood, but billowing golden flames, instantly covering the surrounding area!
The two halves of Yantian's body were quickly spliced and healed in the endless golden flames!
Gu Xiaoxing looked at this scene without being too shocked. He just narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized the other party's methods!
This is the unique healing divine flame of Yantian Realm. He had seen it from the Holy Son of Yantian when he was in the Barrier World.
As the lord of Yantian Domain, it is not surprising that Yantian has such means.
However, Gu Xiaoxing did not expect that the ability of the repairing divine flame was so strong that it could even quickly repair the body of a person who had reached the great perfection of the Divine Transformation Realm.
Then Gu Xiaoxing took another look at the Will Demon Sword in his palm which had shrunk back to its normal size and was full of cracks, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Go back and take care of it first."
As he finished speaking, the wooden sword slowly merged into his palm and returned to Gu Xiaoxing's body.
The strongest point of the Will Demon Sword is the unyielding will within it!
Also, because the innate technique that Gu Xiaoxing learned was called Kaitian, it can be said to be highly consistent with this indomitable will, the ambition to open the sky.
The combination of the two allowed the indomitable will to reach its peak!
The wooden sword itself is just the shell of this indomitable will. This sword has exceeded the limit that the shell can bear, and it will naturally break under the weight.
In this situation, the Demon Spirit Sword will probably need some time to recover.
Fortunately, the sword body did not completely collapse. Once the sword body was destroyed, the will spirit would return to its former invisible state.
Even weaker than before.
Moreover, there is no Nascent Soul in Gu Xiaoxing's body for the Will Demon Spirit to inhabit, so it only has two choices.
Or, slowly disappear from the world.
Or, stay in the body of the origin temporarily and play with the crazy origin baby...
Right now, only the body is damaged, so I can only say that it's a fluke.
After putting away the Demon Spirit Sword, Gu Xiaoxing slowly rose into the air, without taking the opportunity to attack the opponent while he was repairing his body.
Given Gu Xiaoxing's personality, it's not that he doesn't want to do this, but the series of battles before have forced him to take a break.
Even though Gu Xiaoxing was entangled in the Nether Fire, when he used the Ancient Spirit Transformation, the speed at which the Nether Fire burned to restore his cultivation was no longer as fast as the speed at which it was consumed.
In addition, Gu Xiaoxing has been at a disadvantage in the battle, and he also has to protect Xuantian. He is now physically and mentally exhausted!
Yan Tian also looked at Gu Xiaoxing thoughtfully, and suddenly said: "If you want to leave, I can't stop you."
This was the first sentence Yan Tian said to Gu Xiaoxing after the two sides had been fighting for so long.
The fact that Lord Yantian said such words was enough to show that Yantian had recognized Gu Xiaoxing's strength and acknowledged that Gu Xiaoxing and he were on the same level!
"The cage is so small, where can I go? My roots are here. If you want to destroy Xuantian Palace, I will fight you to the death!"
This was also the first time that Gu Xiaoxing spoke to the other party, and his words were firm and decisive!
Yantian's body gradually recovered completely while being repaired by the divine flame. His face remained calm, but after listening to Gu Xiaoxing's words, he remained silent for a moment and did not choose to take action immediately.
After a long while, he sighed softly and said, "Roots, a group of remnants left over from who knows how many years ago, where do the roots come from?"
"You, me, and all the living beings in this cage are nothing but rootless duckweed. Only by finding the road ahead can we take root!"
As the two men confronted each other in the sky, in Xuantian City and Xuantian Palace below, the hearts of countless people were rising and falling violently along with the sea tides outside, and they were still frightened!
Just now, they really thought they were going to die, but they didn't expect that they would be rescued in the end.
At this moment, many people looked at Gu Xiaoxing with gratitude.
Qinggu and Hongyue also focused their gazes on Gu Xiaoxing, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.
But the nervousness could not be suppressed, because the battle between the two people above the Nine Heavens was obviously not over yet.
Gu Xiaoxing frowned deeply as he listened to Yantian's words.
Yantian’s attitude is very clear, he will not give up for this road!
And Gu Xiaoxing also has his own path, and it is impossible for him to give way to others!
Gu Xiaoxing has gone from being a young boy from a mountain village to where he is today, and has experienced too many life and death experiences.
I don’t even know when it started, but Gu Xiaoxing gradually became less afraid of death from his original extreme fear of death!
In other words, he no longer fears death itself, as if the deeper his spiritual practice, the more indifferent he becomes to death!
But Gu Xiaoxing is still afraid of death!
The only difference from the past is that what Gu Xiaoxing fears now is not simply death, but a kind of unwillingness!
Extremely unwilling!
Because today's Gu Xiaoxing is no longer just Gu Xiaoxing, he also has his promise and his way!
These have not been completed yet, and he is unwilling to disappear from the world!
He wants to live!
But this kind of work can sometimes make him risk his life, even to the point of dying!
This kind of belief and mission that one can live for and die for is the result of the changes in Gu Xiaoxing's mental journey since the beginning of his practice of Taoism!
This kind of change can even allow Gu Xiaoxing to say things that he would never have been able to say before.
"Unless you can step over my dead body!"
This sentence is very decisive!
"Since you and I have different paths, there is no need to say more. Let's fight!"
Yantian looked at Gu Xiaoxing, and with a wave of his hand, he rolled up the rolling repairing divine flame, which condensed into a bead and was taken into his mouth, and then he suddenly made a hand gesture!
The next moment, endless flames gushed out from Yan Tian's body again, but it was no longer the golden repairing divine flame, but the incomparably blazing Hengyang True Flame!
This is the divine flame that can only be condensed by the special technique practiced by Yan Tian.
When the endless Eternal Yang True Flame swept across, another giant appeared above the Nine Heavens, a giant completely condensed by the Eternal Yang Fire.
The Giant of Eternal Fire stands tall in the deep sky, like a human-shaped eternal sun, illuminating everything.
Then the giant raised his hand and grabbed it. The previous flame flag was infinitely enlarged, but the flame flag no longer had a flag surface. Only the flagpole was left. Yantian grabbed it in his hand and waved it, using it as a spear.
Countless people below were looking at the scene in the sky in horror. Two flaming giants stood in the deep space, one holding a spear, the other holding burning incense, just like two gods!
But compared to the Eternal Fire Giant transformed by Yan Tian, the Nether Fire burning around Gu Xiaoxing was obviously much dimmer.
But the fire burning in Gu Xiaoxing's heart is even more intense than the eternal sun fire in Yantian!
Suddenly, it was Gu Xiaoxing who moved first. He took a step forward, causing ripples in the void. He crossed the void and swung the burning incense and smashed it down on Yantian's head!
However, Yantian was even faster. He struck later but was the first to arrive. As his spear turned, it pierced directly into Gu Xiaoxing's chest and succeeded in one strike!
But this successful attack made Yan Tian stunned. He didn't expect Gu Xiaoxing would not dodge!
Once Gu Xiaoxing gets ruthless, he is really ruthless. He doesn't care at all that his chest was stabbed through. With a ferocious look on his face, the burning incense has already fallen heavily!
Then the head of the Eternal Fire Giant exploded like a fireball, and sparks filled the sky, so brilliant!
But even though his head exploded, the Eternal Fire Giant did not completely collapse. Instead, he raised his foot and kicked Gu Xiaoxing flying backwards.
Then countless flames condensed and spread like silk threads, and soon the head of the Eternal Fire Giant grew out again!
