I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Chapter 806  Chapter 422: Duowu Cave, Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter Strikes_2

A group of martial artists suddenly found themselves breathing heavily.

Meng Chong, at this moment, was like a walking treasure vault.

Ordinarily, each branch of the Wanbao Alliance was guarded by strong defenders, with highly fortified vaults. Unless an Immortal Heavenly Venerable took action, they were impregnable.

Moreover, no one dared to rob the Wanbao Alliance's vaults.

Yet, here was Meng Chong, a ruthless individual who had broken into two branch vaults and looted an unknown quantity of martial arts resources.

However, the thought of Meng Chong's power and ferocity made the idea of overpowering him seem even more challenging than breaching a Wanbao Alliance branch!

...

After emerging from seclusion, Xu Yan went to the city within the Changyun Realm to gather intelligence about the situation of the Heavenly Grottoes in Changyun Realm.

"Is the Wanbao Alliance hunting down my junior brother?"

Xu Yan stumbled upon the bounty posted by the Wanbao Alliance.

He immediately took out a Communication Talisman and contacted Meng Chong to understand the situation.

"Big brother, it's a trivial matter. Let the Wanbao Alliance try to hunt me down as they wish; there's no need for big brother to act for now.

"Although I am no match for an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, they can't threaten me either. I've already shaken them off, and I won't stay in the Changyun Realm for long. I will plunder a few branches of the Wanbao Alliance when the opportunity arises, and then I will leave Changyun Realm,"

Meng Chong replied.

Big brother must be preparing to go to the Heavenly Grotto, and once he gets involved in this matter, he won't be able to go to the grotto. Therefore, Meng Chong didn't intend to ask his big brother to act.

Moreover, the Wanbao Alliance couldn't threaten him anyway.

He was only passing through Changyun Realm; the treasures he needed to accumulate a foundation were almost sufficient.

"Second junior brother, be careful. If you need help, send me a message,"

Xu Yan nodded his head.

With his junior brother's methods, disguising his identity, concealing himself, and evading pursuit would not be difficult.

"My Physiognomy Realm has reached great achievement, and perfection in the Physiognomy Realm isn't far off. Once I achieve perfection in Physiognomy, I will be able to kill ordinary beings in the Immortal Realm,"

Xu Yan thought to himself.

"I look forward to breaking through to the Void-breaking Realm, and once I enter Void-breaking, I'll dominate the Immortal officers!"

Xu Yan was filled with anticipation.

Somewhere in Changyun Realm.

"Master, we've located Xu Yan,"

"Good, very good. Where is he?"

"Xu Yan has appeared in this area..."

"I will take care of it personally. Xu Yan's end has come. Let's see just how powerful the people behind him are and if they can stir the winds of change in the Divine Realm,"

a man wearing a Ferocious Mask, engraved with eight leaves, said coldly.

Xu Yan left the Wanbao Alliance Branch and looked back, hesitating for a moment. Ultimately, he decided against taking action against this branch of the Wanbao Alliance.

"Let it be, the Wanbao Alliance doesn't pose a threat to my junior brother for the moment. There's no hurry. If they become a threat, I can always act later,"

Xu Yan mused.

Inside the Wanbao Alliance, Xu Yan purchased a volume listing divine materials and treasures of the Divine Realm, including introductions to grottoes in various realms.

With branches spread across thirty realms, the Wanbao Alliance naturally had information for sale regarding the Divine Realm's various realms and the distinct features of their Heavenly Grottoes.

As a trading alliance, it was especially knowledgeable about divine materials and rare treasures; it even sold volumes listing these treasures.

Sometimes, they would also publicly solicit certain special and rare treasures.

Having learned this information, Xu Yan promptly visited the Wanbao Alliance to purchase the relevant information he needed.

He also inquired about news of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, only to find no information on it.

Was it because this branch of the Wanbao Alliance wasn't ranked highly enough to be involved with the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow force, or was it that the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow truly so deeply hidden that even the Wanbao Alliance had no information?

Xu Yan leaned towards the former; this branch of the Wanbao Alliance wasn't ranked high enough to access intelligence on the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow.

"The most famous Heavenly Grotto in Changyun Realm must be this Witch Grotto, also known as Duowu Cave, claimed by an otherworldly strong being named Duowu.

"Duowu possesses the Unique Powers of a Hundred Eyes; once shone upon by the Light of a Hundred Eyes, one becomes slothful, weakened, despondent, and devoid of fighting spirit, unable to exert their full strength,"

Xu Yan focused on the introduction of one particular Heavenly Grotto.

"Duowu? Could he possibly come from the same place as the Seductive Witch? If I visit this Heavenly Grotto, I wonder if I would be able to draw out the Seductive Witch."

Xu Yan murmured to himself.

"Let's go see Duowu Cave and find out if Duowu is truly as peculiar and powerful as the rumors suggest."

The records about Duowu all pertained to his Unique Powers, which made targets become slothful and spiritless.

Even an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, when confronted by Duowu, had to exercise caution. A slight mishap could lead to their downfall.

An Immortal Heavenly Venerable was once struck by the Light of a Hundred Eyes and couldn't defend against it, turning indolent, weakened, and lacking the spirit to respond to attacks.

In the end, another Immortal Heavenly Venerable had to step in to rescue him from the Grotto.

"Aside from the Immortal Realm Duowu in the Duowu Cave, there are also weaker Duowu creatures. However, it's uncertain whether they are all avatars?"

Xu Yan left the city and, after discerning the direction, he set out toward the Duowu Heavenly Grotto.

"With my Wisdom Sword Realm at great achievement, Imperishable Sword Intent, Mountain and River Myriad Manifestations, Minor Heavenly Eye, and the power of the Depraved Witchcraft, it should not affect me."

His mystique of martial arts was extraordinary, far beyond the Taicang Martial Arts, leaving him with many more methods to deal with these peculiar forces.

Just after leaving the city, Xu Yan suddenly came to a halt.

A figure floated toward him as if they had already taken control of this part of the Domain.

The person wore a Ferocious Mask, marked with eight leaves.

"Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter?"

Xu Yan's eyebrows raised.

The forces of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, with the Seven-leaf Heavenly Slaughter being warriors of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, meant the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter belonged to an even stronger level within the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

And the Earth Shadow, with their duties of lurking and assassination, excelled in the methods of stealth and covert killing.

The Earth Shadow wearing the cloudy mask, held the strength of Immortal Heavenly Venerable.

This Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter indeed surpassed ordinary Immortal Heavenly Venerables, and although still weaker than powerhouses like Emperor Da Yue, they wouldn't be too far from the top within the Immortal Heavenly Venerable rank.

According to Xu Yan's understanding of the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, Emperor Da Yue was at the late stage of the Immortal Realm, counted among the top ranks of the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, while Sui Hongwu was at the early stage.

This Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter, however, was at the middle stage.

"You Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow really know how to linger like a bad smell."

Xu Yan scoffed coldly, not the least bit intimidated.

"Xu Yan, you are the most talented individual I've ever seen, and today I shall extinguish that talent!" the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter declared coldly.

"With your head in hiding like a rat?"

Xu Yan sneered disdainfully.

"You arrive just in time for me to test my martial arts on you."

Xu Yan smiled with scorn.

"You're the first to look down upon the Immortal Heavenly Venerable like this, and to scorn the immortal is to court certain death!"

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter raised a hand.

Boom!

The Domain Power gathered, this part of the Domain seemingly under his complete control.

"Die!"

With a press of his palm, the Domain Power crashed down as if the Domain itself were pressing in to crush everything.

Hum!

Xu Yan swung his hand, and the Yin Yang Undying Sword, the Mountain and River Physiognomy appeared, along with the force of the Domain Laws, instantly weakening his opponent's grasp on the Domain Power.

"What kind of martial arts is this?"

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's brows furrowed tightly, looking at Xu Yan's Mountain and River Physiognomy with some surprise.

Not an Immortal Realm, yet possessing a similar ability to control Domain Laws. Although, compared to the Immortal Heavenly Venerable, this control wasn't a complete dominance of the Domain, it did weaken the Immortal Heavenly Venerable's controlling power.

It was as if two Immortal Heavenly Venerables were struggling against each other, each trying to control the Domain.

"No wonder he can sweep through opponents below the Immortal Realm; with such martial arts, which True King Heavenly Venerable could compete?"

The thought made the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's heart grow cold, yet he was inwardly thrilled.

"With such profound martial arts, Xu Yan must have a Supreme Expert behind him. Killing him and provoking that Supreme Expert would surely plunge the Divine Realm into chaos."

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's eyes sparkled with a keen light as he finally understood why Tian Shiqi insisted on eliminating Xu Yan and Meng Chong.

This was the fastest, most efficient way, and it could stir the winds of change in the Divine Realm in the shortest time!

"Your martial arts may be mystical, but you have yet to reach the Immortal Realm. Today, you will die!"

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter smiled coldly, with a chilling divine sword in hand.

"Die!"

Swoosh!

A cold light filled the Domain, the sword light carrying the power of the Domain, slashing down in an instant.

Xu Yan's eyebrows raised as he said with disdain, "A frog in the well dares to use a sword in the presence of Sword God Xu Yan?"

Hum!

As the Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter's sword cut through the Yin Yang Sword Wheel, it was repelled back, the sword light becoming even more fierce, as though imbued with a sort of spiritual wisdom.

"How is this possible!"

The Eight-leaf Heavenly Slaughter was shocked.

In terms of the Sword Dao, within the Changyun Realm, he was second to none.
