The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

"Xuan Du, does he intend to challenge you?" Xuanzhen asked, somewhat astonished.

Despite Qing Yu harboring some shady intentions, always concealing his true prowess, even the power he exhibited was not something a newly ascended to the Divinity Realm could compare to.

Meet the new "The World's Number One."

No matter how much of a genius Xuan Du is, it's impossible to just ascend to God and go head-to-head with Qing Yu, who keeps his strength hidden.

"Ask, and you'll know."

Treading the breeze, soaring into the night sky, Qing Yu gazed at Xuan Du slowly approaching, and said, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Du, it's the 15th of August, you didn't go to enjoy the moon, instead came to find a poor Daoist, isn't this quite the party pooper?"

"Qing Yu······"

Xuan Du's eyes seemed like an abyss of empty clarity, his handsome face showed no trace of humanity, he stared at Qing Yu, and in a voice both ethereal and serene said, "Qing Yu, you are a variable. I came to witness your capabilities."

"You're not Xuan Du?" Qing Yu frowned slightly.

The difference between Xuan Du and the person in front of him was too great. This was not a physical difference, but a spiritual one. Xuan Du, though cultivating Supreme Heartlessness, turned himself into a stone-like indifferent person, but the person in front was filled with inhuman aura from inside out, looking more like an unknown existence in human form.

"I am Xuan Du, but not the Xuan Du of the past."

Xuan Du continued with that calm and empty voice, "Show me your power."

"Xuan Yuan Three Qi, Three Pure Ones' Transformation."

As he struck, it was the secret technique of the Supreme Taoist Sect, Xuan Yuan One Qi transformed into three streams of Pure Qi, conjuring three distinct figures in the air.

One, brimming with Spiritual Energy and natural insight, was a purple-clothed youth.

Another, Supreme Heartlessness, awe-inspiring Dao authority, was a white-robed young man.

The last, enveloped in Xuan Yuan One Qi, only a pair of empty clear eyes represented the closest connection to Xuan Du's true body.

One Qi to Three Pure Ones.

Qing Yu had seen Young Heavenly Master Zhang Yuanchu from Dragon Tiger Mountain perform this technique at the succession ceremony, but Zhang Yuanchu's One Qi to Three Pure Ones was worlds apart from Xuan Du's. Clearly, Zhang Yuanchu was on the lower end.

This was very abnormal, extremely abnormal. Although Zhang Yuanchu might have some delusions of grandeur, he was undoubtedly a qualified successor to the Heavenly Master, with considerable prowess. If not for the two fiascoes clashing with Qing Yu, Zhang Yuanchu would not have ended up where he is.

As for Xuan Du, although being the only heir of the Supreme Taoist Sect, compared to the Supreme Tao Master, Xuan Du was indeed somewhat immature. Last time at Qing Yu's succession ceremony, he had not yet ascended to God, but now he could perform Zhang Yuanchu's One Qi to Three Pure Ones, which Zhang Yuanchu couldn't fully execute even with all his might.

'Interesting, let me see what secrets the Supreme Taoist Sect holds to allow Xuan Du such abnormal progress.'

With determination set, Qing Yu lightly rotated his palm, Gang Wind pierced through the air, "Qiankun Xunfeng."

Suddenly, a gale arose in the night sky, fierce Wind Force wildly danced and surged from all directions.

"Heaven and Earth Qi, in the face of Supreme Tao, all are useless tricks."

The purple-clothed youth on Xuan Du's left side shouted, Xuan Yuan One Qi filled the four sides, absorbing all surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi under his control.

Back when Qing Yu and Xuan Du sparred, techniques reliant on Primordial Energy became entirely useless, had to rely on his own True Qi to resist. Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture's formidable control over Heaven and Earth ensured its unparalleled advantage in utilizing Primordial Energy.

Attempting to challenge practitioners of the Supreme Taoist Sect with Primordial Energy techniques was nothing but a dream.

Yet today, this fanciful attempt has become reality.

Qiankun Xunfeng not only wasn't controlled by Xuan Yuan One Qi, instead absorbed the Primordial Qi gathered by Xuan Yuan One Qi, amplifying its power.

'In terms of control over Primordial Energy, I dare say I'm not inferior to you.'

A Trigram Formation subtly appeared around Qing Yu, whenever Xuan Yuan One Qi approached it, it would be transformed into Yin Yang Eight Diagrams Qi and immediately absorbed.

Previously, during the clash with Xuan Du, Qing Yu did not possess the Divine Weapon of Ten Directions Destruction, nor had he absorbed the Essence of Ten Directions Destruction into his body. Not to mention, Qing Yu's hidden strength now far surpasses Xuan Du.

"Primordial Qi Dao Truth, Supreme Righteous."

The purple-clothed youth couldn't withstand Qiankun Xunfeng alone, the white-robed young man also stepped in, Pure Qi transformed into Xuan Yuan, gathered Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, forming a mass of Primordial Qi to counter the Gang Wind.

"Boom——"

Xuan Yuan One Qi drew the power of Primordial Qi to nullify Qiankun Xunfeng, both moves collided in an equal confrontation, canceling out in the air, leaving only a hollow noise.

'With Xuan Du's current strength, it shouldn't be possible to still control Primordial Qi.' Qing Yu thought secretly.

Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture, though miraculous, depended heavily on who used it. If the Supreme Tao Master came, Qing Yu wouldn't even dream of contesting him for Primordial Qi, not losing out would be a fortune.

However, with Xuan Du, being overwhelmed on all fronts, he is absolutely incapable of freely gathering Primordial Qi like this.

Yet in reality, Xuan Du not only gathered Primordial Qi, but also neutralized Qiankun Xunfeng.

Even if Qiankun Xunfeng didn't touch upon the realm of the Supreme, it shouldn't have been so easily countered. Even if Xuan Du used two avatars to take it, it was abnormal.

"Great Dao's profound wonders originate from nature, the root of Heaven and Earth is the Supreme."

Perhaps taken aback by Qing Yu's unexpected prowess, Xuan Du's true body softly chanted, the purple-clothed youth, the white-robed young man, and that vague figure shrouded in Xuan Yuan One Qi all simultaneously struck, the Three Pure Ones' Qi flowed back, the true body stimulated Mysterious Technique, a virtual shadow of a world appeared in his palm.

A sparrow is small, yet it has all five internal organs. In the tiny shadow was mountains and rivers, grass and trees, singing birds and fragrant flowers, but in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a whirlwind of Xuan Yuan Qi, revealing the profound mysteries of Dao.

"Go."

With both palms extended, the virtual shadow seemed to instantly become tangible, the world shifted, Qing Yu appeared as if leaping into another realm, the view under the Blood Tears Eye was filled with Xuan Yuan One Qi, enveloping the universe, converging to oppress Qing Yu situated within.

"To be able to wield such an extraordinary move, Fellow Daoist Xuan Du, you indeed spoke truthfully before; you are not the Xuan Du of the past."

At this moment, Qing Yu finally confirmed a significant change in Xuan Du; though he remained Xuan Du, perhaps internally he had donned another form.

The display of Dao's profound mystery in this move was not something a newly ascended Divinity Realm practitioner could possess. Moreover, the power of this move touched upon the realm of the Supreme, being able to manifest such formidable might with Divine Power was beyond ordinary.

At least, Qing Yu himself admits that upon his own breakthrough, he couldn't unleash such a powerful move. Put simply, this move's force rivals the Twelfth Sword, if any standard Divinity Realm practitioner released this level of powerful move, they'd conservatively have to sit in a wheelchair for years, truly akin to Ren Piaomiao. (During Ren Piaomiao's wheelchair period, he was completely vegetative)

And now, Qing Yu must face this move; can he still conceal his true strength?
