Daoist Master Of Qing Xuan Chapter 539 - The Method of Taihao

Chapter 539 - The Method of Taihao

During the time Yunyang was born, five phoenixes appeared. At that time, there was only one green phoenix that appeared.

It could also be said that Yunyang still had not shown his last card but Emperor Xia did not care.

Yunyang's entire body was bathed in green flow as it dyed his white robes green. A Daoism mark gradually appeared between his brows and finally converged into a mysterious pattern. It was like a tree, with the leaves, the trunk, and the roots.

His eyeb.a.l.l.s were pure green with a slight transparency to it. It divulged a fathomless and mysterious vital force.

Emperor Xia's move was very simple. It was another punch.

However, this simple fist brought about an extreme beauty of power as it accorded to the principle of the law of this universe. With this one punch, it was locked on Yunyang and it made it impossible for him to escape.

The coercion of Emperor Xia's fist was like lofty mountains befalling. The force of the punch surged like the Asura Blood Sea. There was a faint hum of a dragon instantiate in the void and it was grander than the legendary Buddhist chant of the Heavenly Dragons of the Buddhist sects.

This was the Emperor Dragon First. Only the Xia Kingdom's King with the Emperor Dragon Qi could exert it. From ancient times, there were many of the deity cla.s.s who were defeated under this fist and there were many insolent ghost spirits and demons that were struck with terror by it.

Shen Lian gazes deeply at all of this. The being and power of Emperor Xia had already combined together and had become an impregnable ensemble. His every move and act could burst forth unimaginable tremendous force to topple the mountains and overturn the seas.

The heavy snow of the universe drifted profusely and disorderly. However, under this one punch, there was already no snow.

The seemingly boundless force of the first had directly invaded to the front of Yunyang. Before him, a tall and big tree rose up. It was st.u.r.dy and vigorous and its green shades were layers upon layers. It was so tall it entered the clouds, it was so deep that it entered the Netherworld.

The originally unstoppable Emperor Dragon Fist was blocked by the tall and big tree to one's surprise. It could also not be said that it was blocked but it slowed down the tremendous force of the dragon fist. The surging force of the fist destroyed its branches and leaves, roots and trunk. Nonetheless, when it reached to the front of Yunyang, the force of the fist was as though it had transformed into a rivulet from a river.

Yunyang used his sword finger [1] . Like the stealthy swan goose, it was absolutely terrific. A steak of green sword gleam manifested into ten million layers of sword shades in an instant. It surrounded the force of the fist and suddenly burst forth, vanquis.h.i.+ng the force of the fist straight away.

Only, Shen Lian was still clear on one matter, and that was the Yunyang resolved into not being on the same level with Emperor Xia. After all, Emperor Xia only used one punch and he responded with two moves.

Not only that, Shen Lian could also see the root of Yunyang. He cultivated the Taihao Method. If it was said that Gonggong was the head of all waters in the world, then Taihao would be the source of all the wood in the world.

Taihao was also said to be an almighty. Some said that he was born human and was the incarnation of the Emperor. There were also some who said that he was part of the demon clan. This was because, after Taihao, only White Emperor Shahao could cultivate the method of Taihao, and the fact that the White Emperor was from the demon clan.

However, in all those legends, Taihao was nonetheless on par with the almighty of the ancient divines and demons that was Gonggong. The Taihao Method that was handed down held more influence than the legacy of Qing Xuan.

Since Yunyang was the son of the White Emperor, naturally it was no strange matter that he cultivated the Taihao Method.

Emperor Xia fixed his gaze at Yunyang who was erected on the back of the green phoenix. The great being's body poured out the emperor's majesty and there was an innate commanding presence towards all matters and beings. Coolly, he said to Yunyang, "Even if you did cultivate the Taihao Method, do not think of leaving here."

Yunyang stared imposingly at Emperor Xia. A faint and unnoticeable green flow flashed through both his eyes. Ever since he was young, he had been hunted down in all corners by the masters from the Xia Kingdom. When he could finally see the appearance of Emperor Xia, the other was strong and powerful as he expected.

In actual fact, Yunyang's decision to personally try out Emperor Xia's force did not receive the approval of every big clans' elder in the Eastern Barbarians. Nonetheless, he himself had extraordinary bravery and also methods that others could not imagine, which was why he was determined to battle Emperor Xia. He only needed to be alive as he leaves this place and this would be a ma.s.sive encouragement for the huge clans in Eastern Barbarians. This would allow them to escape the shadows of Emperor Xia's matchless powerfulness. He could also prove to Meixi that he, Yunyang, would definitely be a match for her.

More importantly, Yunyang was only a young man who was in his early twenties.

However, Shen Lian let out a sigh out of nowhere. Because they were too far apart, it was natural that Yunyang did not notice it. He could see that even when Emperor Xia exerted the Emperor Dragon Fist, he also had not gotten serious.

In actual fact, Shen Lian had not seen the true capabilities of Emperor Xia so far. The Emperor Dragon Fist was overbearing, it was not enough to be the ace card of Emperor Xia.

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.
