Chapter 216: The Difficulty of Overcoming the Fate
The Five Elements Thunder Seal fell down fiercely, and although it did not hit him, its overwhelming power had already made him breathless.

Xu Heng even felt that the circulation of his own magic power had begun to become sluggish, and it was becoming more and more obvious.

Obviously, the Five Elements Thunder Seal is not only extremely powerful, but also has the ability to suppress and control. Xu Heng did not take the opportunity to retreat before, so it is difficult for him to escape now.

But he just held his head high, and the sharp edge in his heart became sharper and sharper under this heavy pressure, until –

Bursting out, shining brightly in the sky.

Xu Heng suddenly raised his energy, and his magic power began to boil under the suppression, gradually climbing to a peak.

“out!”

At this moment, all of a sudden, there was silence in all directions, with only the sound of Xu Heng’s words remaining.

There is no earth-shaking sword energy, no rainbow light that pierces the sun and the moon, and no sharp roar that splits rocks and pierces the clouds.

A ray of light leaped out from Xu Heng’s spiritual orifice.

“This is…” Chen Taichen suddenly felt a sharp and painful sensation inside and outside his body, as if he remembered something. Finally, his mind was shocked, “Xuanhong Sword Technique!”

“Yuanwei Manifestation of the Xuanhong Sword Technique” is the culmination of the work of Master Xuanwei. It is rumored that it was only passed on to the masters of four lineages, and no one else in three generations was able to learn it.

Xu Heng actually learned the Xuanhong Sword Technique. Did he learn it from the Xuanhong Sword? Or was it passed down from Tianchi?
Chen Taichen’s mind was wavering, but the momentum of Xu Heng’s sword was unshakable.

The dark rainbow is boundless, like daylight, overwhelming and majestic – it illuminates the void!
The first move of “The Yuan Wei Manifests the Xuan Hong Sword Technique” is the bright shining of the Xuan Hong.

The moment this point of light appeared, the boundless sword energy had already reached every tiny spot that the light illuminated. Even if it was as small as a mustard seed, it was still illuminated by the dark rainbow.

Yes, this is the grandeur and domineering power of the Xuanhong Sword Technique. Under the bright light, nothing can escape. The sword washes the universe and there is no escape!

At that time, sword energy burst out simultaneously from the six hundred and forty Five Elements Divine Thunders that formed the Five Elements Great Thunder Seal, and stars floated, shining like a river in the sky.

It’s a pity that in the next moment, the Sky River burst out and crushed the Five Elements Divine Thunder into pieces!

The boundless power of the Five Elements Thunder Seal was shattered by Xu Heng’s sword.

In an instant, all the thunder and fire disappeared like ice, and the sky became completely clear. However, the dark rainbow had not yet stopped and was already shining brightly on Chen Taichen’s body.

Chen Taichen’s body shook again, and in an instant, the Hengfa Great Spell that protected his body was shattered into pieces.

In the next instant, the precious robe Chen Taichen was wearing suddenly emitted a spiritual glow, and opened up a circle of bright Dharma light. The sword energy in it was like a raging storm, but it could not advance an inch.

It turned out to be another top-notch magical weapon robe. When Chen Taichen was fighting, he seemed to rely on few magical weapons except for those needed to cast the Thunder Seal. However, at this critical moment, he still showed the basic skills of a descendant of a noble family or a true disciple of a great sect.

Unfortunately, this seemed useless in the face of the Xuanhong Sword Technique. Before the robes were torn, a flash of light appeared on Chen Taichen’s chest. It turned out to be a precious mirror that shattered for no reason.

Chen Taichen’s face changed again and again, and countless lightning flashes appeared in his magic orifices. He finally managed to protect his Taoist body before the sword energy reached his body. Unfortunately, he was still unable to resist it completely. Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced his lungs, and he couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, which flew into the empty air.

Instantly, a great terror struck his mind, and Chen Taichen knew clearly that he was on the verge of life and death.

In the temple, there was a golden talisman that kept jumping. He knew that as long as he used his magic power, this golden talisman would be able to take him away from here. By then, saving his life would be of course a piece of cake. But could he… retreat?
A terrifying thought suddenly emerged in his mind, and Chen Taichen finally understood why he was unwilling to retreat just now.

Once, twice, but not a third time! He could take the initiative to retreat once, and he could be forced to retreat by Xu Heng once more, but a third time, I’m afraid there would be no chance of turning the tide and winning.

There was nothing wrong with my choice, but it was a pity that I failed to seize that opportunity and had to retreat in the end.

And if this is the case… Practitioners have to endure tribulations, especially when they reach a critical point, there will be no shortage of heavenly tribulations, earthly tribulations, human tribulations, killing tribulations… all kinds of tribulations will befall them, and the higher the level of Taoism, the more so.

If you can survive the calamity, the world will be vast. What if you can’t?

All my cultivation is just empty talk? I think it is serious, but if I can’t get through this calamity, can I still complete the wonderful level?
Chen Taichen suddenly felt that he seemed to have fallen into a boundless void, getting further and further away from the first-grade golden elixir, and it would be difficult for him to reach it again.

“Because it has been concluded, the result must come. Because it has been concluded, the result must come. Because it has been concluded… So that’s how it is. So that’s how it is.”

“Hahahaha.” Chen Taichen suddenly laughed, but it was hard to tell whether he was happy or sad: “Xu Heng, I will destroy your cultivation once, and you will cut my Dao Heart with your sword.”

“The grudge between you and me is over! It’s just the cycle of cause and effect, but there is no end to it.”

“Let’s meet again in life and death in the future.”

After he finished speaking, a golden light burst out from his temple, and then it was rolled up in an instant and pierced through the void.

……

At the original place, Xu Heng pressed down the sword ball and frowned slightly, but soon unfolded it again.

Xu Heng was not surprised that Chen Taichen found a way to escape. He had never thought that he could kill Chen Taichen here.

Not to mention the major sects’ true teachings, which have many ways to protect their ways, even in this Tai Guang Immortal Palace, the masters of our sect will never sit idly by and watch this happen.

Of course, it would be the same if he lost. Xu Heng didn’t think so. As there was a layer of Xumi Cave Heaven between them, he was no longer in the sight of Master Qiao. One must know that the great master of Lianxu had magic power that could penetrate the void, so how could the cave heaven block his eyes?

Therefore, he and Chen Taichen did not fight to the death from the very beginning, but each of them had some unclear reasons in their hearts.

“Cut your Dao heart with a sword?” Xu Heng shook his head and smiled: “Why should I cut your Dao heart with a sword?”

From this moment on, Chen Taichen had been forgotten by Xu Heng, and he didn’t take Chen Taichen’s words to heart at all.

As soon as he thought about it, he collected the sword ball and returned. Then he waved his robe sleeves, clearing a clean path in the sky full of powder caused by the fight, and flew out of the air, looking towards a place not far away.

“Brother, you have been watching quietly for a long time, why don’t you show up and see?” Xu Heng said.

A sigh was heard in the void, and then Chen Taiji appeared and walked out, bowing: “Greetings, Junior Brother.”

Xu Heng said calmly: “Brother, are you here for the same mission as Chen Taichen?”

“In Xumi Cave Heaven, fighting is prohibited.” Chen Taiji shook his head and said, “I came here to stop Taichen from breaking the ban.”

“Oh?” Xu Heng glanced at Chen Taiji and said slowly, “If that’s the case, why don’t you take action?”

Chen Taiji simply sighed and said, “When I arrived, the calamity had already begun.”

“Has the calamity occurred?” Xu Heng nodded slightly, but did not continue the conversation. Instead, he changed the subject: “Since this is the case, I still need to find the elixir, so I won’t exchange pleasantries with you, Senior Brother.”

“It turns out that Junior Brother has not yet found the elixir.” Chen Taiji pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed: “If Junior Brother believes in it, go in this direction and look for it, maybe you can get something.”

“Oh?” Xu Heng said thoughtfully, “In that case, I would like to thank you for your advice, Senior Brother.”
