Chapter 1146: Peerless

It is not that Dou Zhao, in his Dou Zhan Golden Body state, has surpassed Chong Xuansun in pure power.But at the moment he revealed his Dou Zhan Golden Body, his intent and momentum were bursting forth.Like spring grass sprouting, like a surging tide.Chong Xuansun could no longer withstand his Saber Intent!The Five Divine Abilities Fist, controlled by starlight, also shattered under Dou Zhao's God-Slaying Saber.In this situation, pushing Dou Zhao to an infinite height, towards the scorching sun of the present world, had become an impossible task.If they continued to stalemate, there was no need to fly much further; Dou Zhao could cleave Chong Xuansun to death with his Saber Intent alone.Both sides in the battle understood this very well.In such a situation, Chong Xuansun decisively unleashed a divine ability, Reversal of Profundity!Holding the sun wheel, he suddenly plummeted at extreme speed.The blade of the Sun Wheel and the Tianxiao Saber separated for an instant.But...The Tianxiao Saber quickly slashed down, once again striking the Sun Wheel!Chong Xuansun now wished to disengage from the entanglement, but Dou Zhao did not agree!High in the sky, he attacked wildly with his saber.Because Chong Xuansun was accelerating his descent, to prevent him from escaping the saber momentum, Dou Zhao did not use any complex saber techniques, but the simplest and most direct...Strikes!His saber momentum enveloped Chong Xuansun, unwilling to let go for an instant. He descended with Chong Xuansun's downward momentum, but the Tianxiao Saber struck continuously.Clang clang clang clang!Clang clang clang clang!Like a sudden downpour on banana leaves, the strikes were extremely fierce and intense.The Tianxiao Saber produced a blur of afterimages, as if hundreds of sabers were simultaneously striking Chong Xuansun.The reason there were only so many saber images.It was only because, under Chong Xuansun's control, the Sun Wheel blocking the saber was only this large, not allowing space for more strikes.But Chong Xuansun could not shrink the Sun Wheel further, as it was already in its most suitable form under his extreme control. Any larger, he could not hold it; any smaller, he could not defend against the descending saber and would be unable to protect himself.Both sides pushed their offense and defense to the limit.In the sight of all onlookers, the two increasingly distant and smaller black dots gradually became larger and clearer.Then came the whistling sound of air exploding.And then they saw—Dou Zhao, with his brilliant Golden Body, holding the Tianxiao Saber in both hands, pressed down on the Sun Wheel, and cleaved Chong Xuansun, in his Five Mansions Illumination state, down from the high dome!Five radiant sources of light pierced through the white robe, illuminating Chong Xuansun like a deity.And Dou Zhao's red and gold bordered martial attire had been completely dyed a brilliant gold.In the air, with his back to the scorching sun, he seemed to become the sun itself!His continuous fast strikes were like a blacksmith of infinite strength forging iron before a furnace. He treated the exquisitely graceful Chong Xuansun as a piece of iron, a lump of iron.Each strike was like a heavy hammer falling.Chong Xuansun had always used the Sun Wheel and his fists to smash people; this was the first time Jiang Wang had seen him being smashed in this manner.The saber smashing the Sun Wheel was merely the surface.The true spectacle was the peak confrontation between Dou Zhao and Chong Xuansun during the frantic collision of the Tianxiao Saber and the Sun Wheel.Just as Chong Xuansun had pushed back Dou Zhao earlier, this time it was Chong Xuansun who continuously attacked, using Profound Profound power, starlight controlling the Five Divine Abilities Fist... attempting to break free from the saber momentum.And Dou Zhao, with the Way of Dou Zhan, controlled the God-Slaying Saber, dissolving each of Chong Xuansun's attempts.In the rounds where Dou Zhao held the advantage, he refused to give Chong Xuansun any opportunity!Unlike the ascent, Chong Xuansun's descent had an end, and it would reach that end very quickly.Dou Zhao's saber strikes appeared wild, but each one was precisely controlled.One strike pursued the next.Strikes overlapped, saber momentum accumulated.And the saber momentum accumulated along this path, at its peak, when Chong Xuansun was forcefully cleaved to the ground with no possibility of retreat, could cleave him in two!From ten thousand zhang high back to the Observing River Platform, from a distant black dot to being clearly visible to all spectators... How many saber strikes were there in between?Jiang Wang counted very clearly.Seventeen thousand five hundred and sixty-two strikes.Dou Zhao and Chong Xuansun, engaged in battle, knew even more clearly.They clashed in every detail, every minute aspect, in strength, momentum, and intent, without the slightest compromise.If nothing unexpected happened, within twenty thousand strikes, the outcome would be decided.The outcome resulting from this situation was certainly not what Chong Xuansun desired.So he spread his hands!The Sun Wheel disappeared...The furious rain of strikes on banana leaves.Suddenly stopped.But the Tianxiao Saber, which had accumulated the momentum of seventeen thousand nine hundred and thirty-one strikes, struck Chong Xuansun without any obstruction, directly at his exquisitely graceful face!Huang Shelizi in the stands clenched the chair tightly, unable to bear the wilting of beauty.Snap.Something brilliant and jewel-like shattered.Chong Xuansun's life-saving divine ability!During the rapid descent, he was always unable to escape Dou Zhao's saber momentum.After confirming that the situation was irreversible, he decisively withdrew the Sun Wheel, risking the expenditure of one life-saving divine ability to prematurely end Dou Zhao's continuous strikes.But the timing he chose was also very clever.It not only happened to be at a point where Dou Zhao was relatively uncomfortable, preventing the maximization of his accumulated striking momentum and dissipating a small portion of its power...More importantly, it was about the location.Their current location was still high in the air... right next to the Moon Wheel!The Moon Wheel, suspended high in the sky, which they had passed and many had ignored, was once again passed as they descended from a higher altitude.It was at this moment.That radiant bright moon instantly transformed into myriad rays of moonlight, covering Dou Zhao's entire body.Threads of moonlight, one end connected to an unknown point in the void, the other fixed on Dou Zhan.Thousands upon thousands of threads of moonlight fixed Dou Zhao, who had just shattered Chong Xuansun's life-saving divine ability, in place.This scene was truly mysterious.Snow-white moonlight seemed to weave a spider web, spreading out and covering the high sky.And at this moment, Dou Zhao was like a small golden insect caught in a silver spider web!The offense and defense shifted again!Chong Xuansun's body reversed, from descending to ascending. He tightly clenched his right fist, starlight circulating, the light of the Five Divine Abilities shining, and punched Dou Zhao in the abdomen.This was...The Five Divine Abilities Fist!The fist struck Dou Zhao's Golden Body, producing the sound of metal colliding.As the top-tier divine ability of the Chu Dou Clan, said to appear only once every five hundred years.The Dou Zhan Golden Body is undoubtedly powerful.The Dou Clan having two in this generation was a stroke of luck.But Dou Mian's Dou Zhan Golden Body, compared to Dou Zhao's Dou Zhan Golden Body, was like gold dust plated on brass.With Dou Zhao, relying solely on his defensive power, he could withstand the Five Divine Abilities Fist head-on without dying!Although, Dou Zhao's entire body was already bent like a shrimp in the air.But how many Outer Mansion cultivators could withstand such a punch with their fleshly bodies?Chong Xuansun did not hesitate to deliver another punch.Dou Zhao, who had just straightened up, was again bent by the blast.And this time, he spat out a mouthful of golden blood!The golden blood indicated that Dou Zhao's Dou Zhan Golden Body had truly developed from the outside in, from skin and flesh to bone and blood, to the utmost extent possible at present.This mouthful of blood, upon leaving his body, actually transformed into a golden saber, which twisted suddenly and unleashed a technique, Skin Rot, striking towards Chong Xuansun's face.Chong Xuansun did not dodge or evade, still delivering a punch to Dou Zhao's body.He would rather withstand this saber strike with his life-saving divine ability than give Dou Zhao a chance to escape!A punch struck Dou Zhao's face, shattering a few teeth and the remaining force shattering his hair bun.Dou Zhao was heavily injured again.But the golden blood saber, taking advantage of the situation, turned upwards, transforming into Divine Nature Extinction, landing on the moonlight web.When this saber was unleashed, it already contained two stances. If Chong Xuansun blocked, he would use the momentum to escape. If Chong Xuansun disregarded it, he would use this saber to save himself.This blood saber strike was too beautiful, completely deceiving Chong Xuansun.Spraying blood to form a saber was already a brilliant move.And a saber formed from sprayed blood, which could contain two stances, was an almost impossible feat. It was unimaginable, naturally undefendable.Only a top-tier prodigy like Dou Zhao could turn the impossible into the possible!The golden blood saber with the momentum of Divine Nature Extinction struck the moonlight web.Dou Zhao's Golden Body shone, and he regained freedom in an instant.All of this happened very quickly.At that very moment, Dou Zhao had just been punched in the face, two golden shattered teeth mixed with blood flew out, his entire handsome face was forced to turn to the right side...There were still golden bloodstains on the corner of his mouth, his hair bun had long been scattered, and his golden long hair was flying in the air.But as soon as he was free, he suddenly turned back, his golden eyes shining with divine light!As he turned, he had already turned his saber.When his golden eyes reflected the snow-white figure again, the Tianxiao Saber had already arrived!The scene that followed almost rendered all observers speechless.Only at this moment did Dou Zhao completely utilize the Seven Techniques of Dou Zhan with the Dou Zhan Golden Body,Truly reproducing "Since the Present World, the First Killing Technique!"The Tianxiao Saber descended.Skin Rot!Body and Soul Decay!Human Calamity!Cleaving Nature, Seeing the Self!Divine Nature Extinction!Heavenly Punishment!Under the activation of the Dou Zhan Golden Body, these six consecutive techniques were exquisitely performed.The saber light easily entangled Chong Xuansun within it.His skin and flesh were damaged, his body and soul were injured, he brought calamity upon himself, his original heart was cleaved, his divine abilities were annihilated, and he suffered heavenly punishment!That beautiful and brilliant, jewel-like object... flickered twice in succession.In other words, in this round of saber light unleashed by Dou Zhao, Chong Xuansun faced a situation of certain death twice!He was completely suppressed with no ability to retaliate.But it was not over yet!At this moment, Dou Zhao, with golden bloodstains still on the corner of his mouth, was directly facing Chong Xuansun.The Tianxiao Saber struck down squarely!This saber was grand and imposing, shining with golden light, brilliant and dazzling, yet awe-inspiring like a deity.The Seven Techniques of Dou Zhan...The Five Signs of Decay of Celestial Beings!Around Chong Xuansun, that beautiful and brilliant, jewel-like object...Snap, snap, snap...It seemed to make a series of crisp sounds like this.It rang three times in a row!Na Liang, who had manifested a near-divine body, had once asked how many times Chong Xuansun's life-saving divine ability could be used.The answer to this question was seven.Chong Xuansun's life-saving divine ability is called Star Wheel.Seven stars surround him, able to withstand seven fatal attacks.In the battle with Na Liang, it was consumed once and had not yet recovered.Earlier, to end Dou Zhao's continuous strikes, it was consumed once more.In Dou Zhao's six consecutive strikes after regaining freedom, it was consumed twice again.And this last saber strike of the Seven Techniques of Dou Zhan, unleashed by Dou Zhao with the Dou Zhan Golden Body...Had completely exceeded the current tolerance range of the Star Wheel.Even after shattering three times, it was not exhausted!Before such a terrifying saber strike.Chong Xuansun's snow-white clothes had quietly become stained.His dark, clear long hair instantly withered and fell.Sticky sweat continuously emerged from his armpits.A foul smell began to emanate from his body.He was completely restless and his thoughts were scattered.This was precisely the manifestation of the Five Signs of Decay of Celestial Beings!This was a saber that could even slay celestial beings!Those originally blazing and dazzling five sources of light had also dimmed!Dou Zhao had expressed regret when revealing his Dou Zhan Golden Body.He regretted that Chong Xuansun could not display his fifth divine ability because he would not give Chong Xuansun another chance.At this moment, with a single strike of the Five Signs of Decay of Celestial Beings falling, the exquisitely graceful Chong Xuansun had begun to wither!Life was draining away.At a terrifying speed.Everyone could see that Chong Xuansun was irreversibly heading towards death, falling into defeat.Under such a saber strike, even if his Star Wheel had three more uses, he could not withstand it!Wang Yi Wu in the stands had already stood up, veins bulging on his fists.Even the True Person Cao Jie was intently watching the martial arts platform, ready to concede defeat for Chong Xuansun at any moment. Even knowing that Yu Xu would preserve the life of the loser, he worried about the possibility of deliberate negligence.A top-tier prodigy like Chong Xuansun is a loss that no country can afford!But at this moment.Chong Xuansun stretched out his hand.Clearly under the saber momentum of the Five Signs of Decay of Celestial Beings, clearly destined to die.Yet he still struggled to stretch out his hand.It was a fair, long, and powerful hand... but it was now withering and aging.He extended his left hand.From the Master's Ceremony, the martial arts performance in front of the Grand Temple.To the Observing River Platform championship at the Yellow River Meet.No matter when, he had always fought with his right hand.Holding the Sun Wheel, gripping the iron fist.He had never used his left hand to lead an attack.Now he extended his left hand.In his palm, points of light appeared.A point of red light, the Sun Wheel.A point of white light, the Moon Wheel.A point of treasure light, the Star Wheel.Three points of light arranged side by side.The Sun Wheel, Moon Wheel, and Star Wheel... stored within his body, suspended in the sky, and circling around him.Suddenly appeared, connecting with each other.Brilliant light circulated, the three lights shining together.Together, they formed a strangely shaped long saber.The back of the saber had three curves, and the spine had two points.The blade had only one curve.The body of the saber was shaped like three crescent moons joined together, and the hilt was a flowing, constantly changing light.Now this light was held in his hand.Now this saber was wielded by his left hand.Very few people knew that Chong Xuansun had always practiced left-handed saber.What he was truly skilled at was saber technique.Because very few people could force him to use his left hand.Even fewer could see his saber!At this moment.The Sun Wheel, Moon Wheel, and Star Wheel, the three wheels combined, materialized the Sun-Moon-Star Three Wheel Saber.And Chong Xuansun, holding it with his left hand, empowered by Profound Profound power, in his own endless decay, unleashed a single strike!As soon as this saber emerged, it had already cut across Dou Zhao's neck!Chong Xuansun's last divine ability in his Five Mansions is called Cleaving Delusion!Because it has the effect of "cleaving through delusion and reaching the true self," it is named Cleaving Delusion.Inwardly, it cleaves through the illusions of the Dao path.Outwardly, it strikes at vital points.Rare in ancient and modern times, a single strike of Cleaving Delusion!The Sun-Moon-Star Three Wheel Saber cut across Dou Zhao's neck. As soon as it met the golden light of the Dou Zhan Golden Body, it drove straight through, cutting into his neck!Almost simultaneously, Yu Xu stepped onto the martial arts platform, clear light flowing in his palm!Source:
