Chapter 539 The Method of Taihao (2/2)

Yunyang plainly said, ”If Emperor Xia were to be inured even before reaching the Eastern Barbarians, that would be the biggest joke in this world.”

Emperor Xia coldly snorted. The void in the sky and the earth, with the snow on the ground, trembled strongly. A crisp hum of the blade broke through the sky and within a blink of an eye, there was a long blade, as black as the night, in Emperor Xia's hand.

When Emperor Xia's right hand was holding that demonic blade, the qualities of his entire being suddenly changed. Before this, if Emperor was vast like the ninth heaven and filed with the prestige of an emperor, his qualities now had an extra strangeness and unpredictability to it. It was like the changes in the water flow of the Nine Underworlds where its source and root could not be found.

Shen Lian was slightly and visibly moved, to his surprise, Emperor Xia had gotten to such a deep state in the Dao of the demonic blade.

Even compared to the Avici and Yuantu Swords' will he had, it would not be inferior to it. This was not to say that Shen Lian's Avici Yuantu was incapable but he only had a superficial understanding between these two methods. While Emperor Xia had already comprehended the demonic characteristics of the demonic blade which allowed him to receive and dispatch it freely.

There were some of those, who even with the demonic blade in hand, still could not become the matchless Demon King, just like Ming Luo previously. However, Emperor Xia was not the same. Deep within his bones, he was someone with true feelings and true character with a stubborn streak hidden within it. There was a natural accordance with the demonic blade, coupled with Emperor Xia's exceedingly high cultivation, this allowed him to be able to venture far on the Dao of the demonic blade.

The Emperor with a blade in his hand would undoubtedly still have people who would be his opponent in this heaven and earth, but it was definitely not Yunyang who was before him.

The green phoenix hissed and shrieked. Very quickly, four more cries responded.

Yunyang's face was imposing. The tree pattern between his brows became deeper. The blinking green glow was cold and faint as an ethereal Dao meaning seeped out.

Those who did not have great wisdom could not enter Dao, those who were not of true feelings and characters had difficulty becoming the true demon.

With the long blade in his hand and one cut from it, the gleam of the blade was like a vast blur of misty rain as it attacked. This time, the same tall and big tree that blocked Yunyang was chopped off like splitting bamboo.

The profound and subtle gleam of the blade was finally going to touch Yunyang's body.

His expression was imposing and he combined his palms as one. He went to the length of clamping the ethereal gleam of the blade with his own flesh and body. The green glow from his entire body converged towards the area between the two palms. He was bound to curb the demonic blade of Emperor Xia.

Nonetheless, it appeared that the area where Yunyang was had transformed into a world of green. There was no way of seeing what was going on inside. A long streak of the gleam of the blade chopped into that ball of green.

From four corners, four phoenixes came tripping down.

Firstly, there was an intense all burning fire which took the lead and was sprayed towards the head of Emperor Xia.

What followed next, was the soil of the ground becoming extremely loose as it wanted to swallow Emperor Xia into its pit. Then, a surging wave of black light enlaced both of Emperor Xia's foot. In the midst of the void, there were uncountable thin golden lights and it did all it could to greet the divine body of Emperor Xia. 并指成剑 - A type of finger movement in Taichi.
