Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

Bao Xueyang circled the Origin Stone, which was a full two zhang in diameter, several times with rapid steps, then stopped, his brow furrowed, his originally sinister gaze becoming even more icy and cold.

He had devised this plan to deal with this very Daoist adept at earth遁. In a mere few decades, this person had advanced from the early stage of Core Formation to the late stage, clearly having obtained an extraordinary opportunity. Coupled with that divine Golden Ape, if he could kill him and seize his treasures, the rewards would certainly be considerable.

The development of the battle was as he had expected. As predicted, this Daoist relied on his earth遁 technique to burrow into the earth to capture him, and he relied on this strange beast hide with spatial abilities to trap this person. However, he had not anticipated that this person would have such a hard stone shell to protect himself, making him somewhat difficult to deal with.

This beast hide of his was the skin of a strange beast called the "Stone Pig." This beast had long become extinct, and this Stone Pig skin was what he had obtained from an ancient ruin twenty years ago. After hundreds of thousands of years of degeneration, this item was no longer as powerful as it once was, but in the present day, it was still a top-tier spatial treasure. Moreover, because the Stone Pig was an earth-attribute beast, this skin possessed extremely strong earth遁 abilities and the ability to conceal itself with the help of the soil.

From within the Origin Stone, Zhang Yuanjing also saw the magic of this item, and his heart immediately burned with passion. This item, coupled with his earth遁 technique and the Origin Stone, was simply a great weapon that combined escape and enemy annihilation.

However, he quickly calmed down. The enemy before him was a solid Core Formation Completion cultivator with many tricks up his sleeve, so he could not be underestimated.

After waiting for more than ten breaths, seeing that the round stone was motionless, Bao Xueyang sacrificed a cyan flying sword and began to chop at it. This sword was sharp, and each time it struck, it left a sword mark about an inch deep on the surface of the Origin Stone.

Zhang Shi snorted twice, clamoring to attack proactively, using offense as defense. Zhang Yuanjing saw that it was not seriously injured, so he did not agree.

Bao Xueyang sneered, and the hand incantation changed. Two clusters of emerald green mana surged from his fingertips and were flicked into the cyan sword.

The cyan sword made a clang and leaped up, slashing down, directly breaking the outer shell of the Origin Stone and invading inside.

Zhang Shi felt pain and twitched all over, as if "convulsing."

Zhang Yuanjing secretly thought it was bad. He thought Bao Xueyang would attack with spirit beasts, but he did not expect this person to have such a sharp weapon of attack, capable of splitting open the Origin Stone's defense with one sword strike, which was extremely powerful.

At this moment, Bao Xueyang guided his long sword, ready to strike again, but he heard the entire space rumble, and the thin gauze-like beast hide shrank by a zhang and trembled violently.

Bao Xueyang was shocked and quickly stopped the hand incantation, retracted the cyan sword, and his gaze at the Origin Stone became suspicious.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Origin Stone mobilized earth power to heal the wound and become whole again.

Bao Xueyang pondered for a long time, then suddenly drew his sword and struck the Origin Stone again, but without injecting that green mana. After a few sword strikes, there was no effect. He then changed to a black long staff and smashed it down fiercely. For a time, there was a clanging sound in this beast hide, echoes overlapping, noisy and deafening. However, it could not do anything to the Origin Stone. He then changed to a short axe, but without using any techniques, it still could not break through the Origin Stone's defense.

Then, he sacrificed the cyan sword again, injected two clusters of green mana, and with just one sword strike, he split open the outer shell of the Origin Stone. However, the spatial turbulence also arrived as expected and shrank by another zhang.

At this time, not only Bao Xueyang, but even Zhang Yuanjing understood that the stability of the beast hide's space was related to the Origin Stone. Or rather, when the cyan sword split open the Origin Stone, revealing its internal aura, the beast hide judged the Origin Stone to also be a spatial treasure and regarded its internal space as part of itself, so it began to shrink the space outside the Origin Stone to maintain its stability. This must be the rule contained in the internal restrictions when this item was originally refined, and unless it was not used, it had to be obeyed.

A thought flashed through Zhang Yuanjing's mind, and he quickly thought of a way to deal with Bao Xueyang. He first remained still, waiting for Bao Xueyang to attack again.

Bao Xueyang did not know whether he was helpless or had some idea in mind, and he did not move, just standing still, his sinister eyes staring at a certain place on the outer shell of the Origin Stone, without blinking.

The two were in a stalemate, neither of them making a move.

As the one controlling the strange beast hide, Bao Xueyang naturally held the initiative and could withdraw at any time. Zhang Yuanjing was relatively passive and could only launch a thunderous strike when Bao Xueyang's attack caused spatial changes. Before that, even if he attacked, he could not take down this person.

After waiting for more than ten breaths, Bao Xueyang's brow moved, as if he had an idea.

Zhang Yuanjing suddenly became nervous. What he was most worried about was that Bao Xueyang would feel helpless and leave. In that case, although he would not suffer any losses, the煞雷竹 and the strange beast hide would be out of his reach. Of course, if that were the case, he would not take the risk, after all, there would still be opportunities to find this person in the future.

Bao Xueyang hesitated for a few breaths, raised his right hand, and wiped the cyan storage bracelet on his left wrist, and a half-foot-long black short bamboo appeared in his hand. The moment this bamboo appeared, light snakes danced and thunder rumbled, it was the煞雷竹 that Zhang Yuanjing had been coveting for a long time!

At the same time, the entire beast hide space vibrated, as if it could not withstand the impact of this thunder power and was about to collapse.

Zhang Yuanjing was startled and thought of a possibility, and he immediately had less confidence in whether he could keep this person. Because, the appearance of this煞雷竹 in this space alone had caused such great pressure on it, if Bao Xueyang stimulated its power, wouldn't it collapse immediately! And the means he used to deal with this person required maintaining the existence of this space.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but none of them could reduce the destructive power of the thunder.

At this time, Bao Xueyang had already raised the Thunder Bamboo with his right hand, his cold gaze was both sinister and resolute, and his left hand pushed the cyan sword out fiercely. In the flashing green light, he drove it like a stream of light to strike the Origin Stone.

This sword did not actually carry that green mana, so it only cut a shallow mark on the outer shell of the Origin Stone. However, this attack startled Zhang Yuanjing, because the green light at the moment the sword was released made him think that Bao Xueyang was attacking with all his strength, and he almost used the means he had prepared. This move could only be used unexpectedly, if it was used in advance, it would be useless and would only startle Bao Xueyang.

Fortunately, he and the Origin Stone were like one, and he could feel how it was injured without the need for divine sense to judge, so he stabilized his mind at the critical moment.

Bao Xueyang sneered, retracted the cyan sword, and attacked again. This time it was still the same as last time, and Zhang Yuanjing naturally would not be fooled.

The third time, Bao Xueyang's attack was the same as before, but the moment the flying sword struck the Origin Stone, the Thunder Bamboo in his hand suddenly moved, and a black light drew out, chasing the cyan sword.

At this moment, driven by Zhang Yuanjing's thoughts, the Origin Stone instantly swelled up and quickly pushed towards Bao Xueyang.

Bao Xueyang's eyes widened, and he poured the green mana into the Thunder Bamboo in his hand like flowing water, and several black sharp lights swirled around it like small snakes.

However, before these electric snakes could be activated, the rapidly shrinking beast hide strangled him tightly against the expanding Origin Stone from behind, preventing him from moving at all, and the crack cut out by the cyan sword was right in front of his eyes.

"Crack!"

Thunder exploded, the beast hide space collapsed, but Bao Xueyang failed to escape and was exposed in the mud. A broken white blade was deeply inserted into his head.

He was completely lifeless.
