Chapter 662: Beast of Opening Heaven

The Five Elements flow, capable of Opening Heaven and Earth.

In the past, merely possessing Five Elements Spiritual Roots had blocked most individuals from touching this supreme Essence.

However, in this era, Five Elements Spiritual Roots can be implanted, and the Five Elements Spiritual Body can be cultivated. These can solidify the foundation for the ultimate Opening Heaven and Earth.

Zixue Xin is a practitioner of the Five Elements Spiritual Law, deeply studying it to the point where she can momentarily Open Heaven and Earth.

This Opening Heaven and Earth is purely aggressive, lacking the Cave Techniques.

At the beginning, a Lotus Flower bloomed as she stood in the center, divine like an immortal.

Even though Yun Ye saw through Yin Seng as merely a pseudo-Honored Being, possessing nothing but spatial power, Zixue Xin did not think the current situation suited holding back.

She raised her hand, and five-colored light shone around her, then slowly pressed down her arm…

“Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth!”

“Opening Heaven and Earth!”

“Boom!”

The world momentarily descended into chaos.

There was no avoiding it, no resisting the lethal strike.

In the chaos, there was neither past nor future; Yin Seng had no space to react as terrifying power immediately pressed down, obliterating everything.

A True Being Opening Heaven and Earth operates with an efficiency many levels higher than Yun Ye, more than enough to make up for his lack of talent.

“Presumptuous! Just a mere Zixue Xin!”

“Do you really think my power, held in my hands, cannot surpass you?”

Yin Seng sensed the immense fear but was unwilling to relent. He roared as he unleashed his powers, forming barriers in space to resist the Opening Heaven and Earth.

The Five Elements flowed, chaos emerged, and both rules and order shattered, unstoppable, directly obliterating all.

With his powers of the Honored Position, he couldn’t suppress even a single True Being?

Opening Heaven and Earth?

On what basis!

“Boom!”

The blow that opened Heaven and Earth caused Yin Seng’s true body to shatter, revealing the ‘authority entity’ of the realm of gods and demons—a golden divine heart.

The divine heart pulsed, bursting forth with inexhaustible power.

Although this authority had merged with the Red Heaven, transforming into an Honored Position, it still retained some characteristics, generating a continuous source of divine power in the realm of gods and demons.

This was a source of energy backed by the world’s endorsement; Yin Seng could lavishly expend it as long as he remained within the realm of gods and demons, where all energy would eventually cycle.

“Ah, ah, ah, ah!”

With a shout that resonated throughout the world, Yin Seng’s consciousness returned as he forcibly reformed his body with the divine heart, achieving the feat of revival in the outer heavens.

Indeed, his position was just recently acquired, lacking any mastery; it relied solely on the power carried by his authority. It was no different than a spiritual realm practitioner wielding a Divine Artifact Supreme Treasure, ultimately unable to express the true essence of his power.

But so what?

The initial Opening Heaven and Earth is so crude that it cannot erase the divine heart; his consciousness resides within it, allowing him to continuously revive and return.

"I can resurrect, but how many times can you use the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth?!"

Yin Seng’s face was pale, but his words were icy. He once again condensed the Sword that Breaks Through Space in his hands and charged at Zixue Xin.

"Indeed a pseudo-Honored Being; aside from authority, all other powers remain at the True Realm, and even the authority does not match the cultivation system…"

"But I can kill!"

Zixue Xin was not conversing with Yin Seng; she was declaring the outcome.

Cold.

Decisive.

She regarded Yin Seng as nothing.

In just one glance, Zixue Xin saw through Yin Seng’s weaknesses; he was merely a discarded piece to be quickly eliminated.

"Spiritual Attire—Equip!"

A purple light enveloped Zixue Xin, and purple ice crystals emerged from the light, forming an artistic armor, spreading a chilling aura.

Yin Seng watched this scene, raised his hand, hesitated for a long time, then finally cast aside his pride. A ring floated into view, and dark armor covered him, awakening his Spiritual Attire.

He had already grasped authority yet needed to use Spiritual Attire against a True Being—this was truly embarrassing!

But he overestimated his strength; as his Spiritual Attire manifested halfway, Zixue Xin had already grasped the purple crystal Spiritual Sword and cleaved through his body, causing his Spiritual Attire to shatter instantly.

"How can it be… so fast?!"

Yin Seng’s powers were completely ineffective!

He suddenly realized that this purple crystal Spiritual Sword was also a concentration of the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth, capable of slicing through authority!

Yin Seng’s body was split in two, consciousness fracturing, yet his body still reacted out of instinct, attempting to fly backward in hopes of escaping a disaster.

He had lost all expression, his previous arrogance vanished.

As a practitioner, possessing authority but being unable to counterattack was clearly not a sign of weak power, but of his inability to react.

Zixue Xin’s attack was fleeting; he didn’t even have the chance to activate his spatial authority.

The gap in strength carried an utterly overwhelming feeling of despair!

He finally understood why Qing Liu Sheng said he was merely a pseudo-Honored Being.

His strength was too weak; having authority was meaningless!

He had not comprehended the rules in the Red Heaven realm, and his physique was still at the stage of a True Being, far from the conceptual body of the Honored Position. Facing Zixue Xin’s simple sword strike, he could make no defensive moves at all.

Even the spatial authority, which should have formed an absolute defense, was cut through by the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth with one sword, placing him in an overall disadvantaged state.

In this situation, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary True Being, utterly insufficient against the monster before him.

"Ah, ah, ah, give me… revival!!"

Yin Seng struggled to resurrect, reassembling his body.

Resurrection was not without cost; with each revival, his bond with the realm of gods and demons grew deeper, ultimately leading to complete assimilation. The Honored Position that originally belonged to the Red Heaven would be taken back by the realm of gods and demons.

In this process, he would irreversibly lose his self; even if he appeared to retain self-awareness, he would have become a puppet of the realm of gods and demons, never able to leave this world again.

But there was no way out; he could only rely on the divine heart to survive. Otherwise, his true body in the outer heavens would be obliterated, resulting in an irreparable fatal injury.

"Can I still revive? Then…"

"Zixue…"

"Qilin!"

Zixue Xin’s finger traced across the Purple Crystal Spiritual Sword, and the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth flowed. In an instant, the Purple Crystal Spiritual Sword manifested an illusory image of a Qilin.

This was a divine beast, embodying the Opening Heaven and Earth, reshaping the world. Although it only appeared for a brief moment, it shocked Yin Seng profoundly.

This was a power that could directly kill authority!

The momentary aura of the Zixue Qilin swept across the entire realm of gods and demons, causing the world to tremble and even attracting the attention of two powerful Honored Beings.

"Is this the Five Elements Spiritual Law of the Zixue Qilin? It is said that there are beasts of Opening Heaven, the Zixue and Chi Xue Qilin, and of course, there are also tales of the True Dragon. But it is certain that they are mere reflections of the World God, possessing the power of Opening Heaven while retaining self-awareness, the highest existence born from the vast history of demon-kind."

"Your Cave Techniques mimic that beast known as Zixue, right? I wonder what kind of power the Zixue Qilin possesses to dare to be called a beast of Opening Heaven?"

The Honored Being engaged with the Spiritual Flower Honored Being spoke up; he was a genuine Honored Being, intertwined with the power of the Five Elements and ultimate Honored Position authority.

In the battles of Honored Positions, the power of Opening Heaven is mostly auxiliary, unable to compare with one’s own authority. Only a few can engage in Opening Heaven at the True Realm, truly becoming the Master of Heaven’s Cavern, but clearly, the Master would not be here, as each Master of Heaven’s Cavern affects the surrounding world and is almost impossible to hide.

"You don’t even know the Zixue Cave Techniques? It seems your experience is quite shallow; no wonder you can’t see through this. Is this an Honored Position secretly nurtured by the dark organization, making their first move just to assassinate a spiritual realm being? That’s too overbearing."

The Spiritual Flower Honored Being spoke coldly, his words icier, and his movements showed no signs of slowing down.

Spiritual flowers continuously bloomed around him, Birds flew in from the east. Upon closer inspection, these Birds could soar a thousand miles, resembling a Kunpeng rising rapidly.

The battle scene was indeed quite dreamlike, but filled with killing intent.

Although the Spiritual Flower authority was merely a minor branch of power, it could create various extraordinary spiritual flowers, even those recorded in history.

Some of these spiritual flowers contained toxins capable of killing Honored Beings, corrupting even their conceptual bodies.

Not to mention various enchanting spiritual flowers, transmission spiritual flowers, and those that could naturally summon guardian life, like the Birds commonly used by the Spiritual Flower Honored Being, known as the Celestial Bird, which allowed him to transform into a divine bird at any time, traversing space and avoiding the influence of certain powers.

"How can this be called overbearing? What does Qing Liu Sheng represent? You myriad beings understand well, and we in the Divine Court are also quite clear; he must die."

The Divine Court Honored Being’s tone was flat, but his words were ruthless, as if he had discerned Yun Ye’s origin.

"Oh, I bet you don’t understand."

The Myriad Flowers Honored Being spread his arms wide, releasing the power of the Five Elements that nearly engulfed the entire world. This made the Divine Court Honored Being’s pupils contract—he was actually using his full power?

Did he not fear that Qing Liu Sheng and the others would be reduced to ashes?

At that moment, a beam of light shot up into the sky, far too conspicuous.

The Divine Court Honored Being expressed his astonishment: "Qing Liu Sheng and Zixue Xin… have they already dealt with Yin Seng? Although he is merely a pseudo-Honored Being, this is home turf; how can it be so inadequate?"

No. It was not that Yin Seng was inadequate.

Rather, Zixue Xin and Qing Liu Sheng were too strong.

The Spiritual Flower Honored Being understood this fact well; as the Honored Being of the Myriad Beings, he had some understanding of Qing Liu Sheng’s background.

One obvious fact was that since he came from the celestial clans and held such a high position, he must have cultivated the Dao Classics.

Such a character could surely be compared to the Master of Heaven’s Cavern in the present day. Although it may appear that they are merely in the spiritual realm, the Dao Law cannot be judged by ordinary logic—especially since the Dao Law of the Qing Tian clan is the supreme method for cultivating the physical body, fundamentally increasing the chances of opening Heaven’s Cavern.

Those qualified to become the Master of Heaven’s Cavern possess the ability to wield the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth, allowing them to sweep away enemies even in the spiritual realm; only true Honored Beings can suppress them.

"Hehe… Opening Heaven and Earth!"

The Divine Court Honored Being also unleashed his strongest power, igniting a great battle. He was not in a rush, as his only task was to delay the Myriad Flowers Honored Being, which was a stark contrast to the disposable treatment given to Yin Seng.

The two powers of Opening Heaven and Earth interwove, each influencing the other with their authority.

Due to the singular effect of authority, its utility is often auxiliary and requires development before it can be used in actual combat.

Conversely, the power of Opening Heaven is inherently endowed with top-tier destructive capacity, capable of disintegrating all it touches, compensating for its lack of lethality.

With the power of Opening Heaven, battles between Honored Positions transformed from pure power contests into strategic battles with offense and defense.

The key to victory would be to decode the opponent’s authority as soon as possible, using the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth to extinguish its essence.

Did the person before him not know the Zixue Cave Techniques?

This could be true or false.

One must not let words cloud their judgment.

The Myriad Flowers Honored Being remained unfazed, continuing to fight at his own pace. He was also not in a hurry; this time, the myriad beings had truly come out in full force. He did not believe that the Divine Court placed a higher importance on this than the myriad beings did.

…

As the illusory Zixue Qilin flashed by, Yin Seng turned to ash, and the pulsating divine heart was stripped away at that moment, seemingly on the verge of disintegration.

Zixue Xin suddenly exerted her strength, enhancing herself with Spiritual Attire, recording portions of the essence of the cave techniques, assisting her in completing the power known as the Zixue Qilin.

In comparison to the unnamed, pure power of Opening Heaven, the Zixue Qilin focused on a singular path, akin to illuminating the future, representing a true level of Opening Heaven and Earth.

To put it another way, this form of the Power of Opening Heaven and Earth was a weakened version of the True Immortal and World God powers, lacking only absolute rules.

Faced with the power of the Zixue Qilin, Yin Seng was completely obliterated, leaving only the golden divine heart pulsating, yet it gradually lost vitality, becoming increasingly crystalline under the influence of the Zixue Qilin’s power.

So, this must mean it was resolved?

Upon reaching this point, such thoughts were inevitable; however, both Zixue Xin and Yun Ye realized that the situation was far from over. The divine heart still struggled, consciousness roaring: "I… will not… yield! I refuse to accept this! I have gained authority, held an Honored Position! Why do I still fail? Why do I still fail!!!"

Yin Seng seemingly held onto some deep obsession. Although his soul had been obliterated and he should have lost control over the divine heart, he returned once more.

He was dead, yet his obsession dominated the divine heart, constructing another similar existence.

In the process, he became not weaker but stronger.

The disintegration of his true body actually allowed the conceptual body to take shape; it was merely a conceptual body from the realm of gods and demons, with golden divine blood flowing through its physique. Various peculiar forms emerged from his body, transforming him into a monster.

"I want you dead!!!"

Yin Seng displayed a vastly different strength than before. Space ripples enveloped the battlefield, and a grim silver substance gathered in his palm. Space shattered, rendering distance meaningless as Yin Seng directly swung his claw-like hand, traversing space without warning to strike Zixue Xin.

With a loud boom, half of the space beside Zixue Xin was excavated, but she simply moved normally, taking a single step to evade the attack.

This movement did not stop, tracing an arc as she approached Yin Seng, where shadowy purple snowflakes descended, projecting some sort of illusory figure.

It was a slumbering Qilin; Zixue Xin’s movement appeared to awaken the sleeping entity.

"Ahhh!"

Yin Seng repeatedly unleashed his power, utilizing authority to cross space and directly attack Zixue Xin. By logic, Zixue Xin should not have been able to evade such attacks. This was an authority of space that struck any point of the target without any distance, far beyond his previous crude utilization.

Yet reality brought despair to the demonic Yin Seng; all his attacks proved futile, completely unable to interfere effectively with Zixue Xin.

"Why! Why can’t I hit you? You are merely in the True Realm; how can you possibly contend with an Honored Position? Why!!!"

Yin Seng howled helplessly.

"For countless years, cultivators have ceaselessly forged ahead. When the physical body reaches its limit, they advance into law realms, allowing themselves to become semi-energy bodies. When the law realm cannot advance further, they open Mystic Heaven, transforming into pure energy bodies."

"With Mystic Realm as a foundation, the human race made enormous strides, growing stronger more rapidly. Thus, True Essence was born, reshaping the body into a flawless, unblemished True Essence form, reaching the pinnacle of energy bodies, just one step away from the conceptual body."

"This is the grand era of Red Heaven, where countless prodigies exist, and the paths have been extended to their limits. As the chief of Zixue, I walk the path of cultivation anew, utilizing the Zixue Five Elements Spiritual Law to reconstruct my body, opening the five elements cycle, nurturing the Power of Opening Heaven!"

"A mere pseudo-Honored Position, lacking even a true conceptual body—how can you contend with me? Do you know why the Ten Seats can only serve for a century?"

Zixue Xin shook her head, an extraordinary phenomenon materializing, turning the world a light purple, eerie and cold, as she unleashed the true technique of Zixue Cave.

In an instant, power surged forth, triggering a Killing Formation, and the Qilin that crouched opened its eyes.

Eyes opened, destruction of worlds; eyes closed, rebirth of realms. This was akin to a myth, but the countless years of history in the Red Heaven realm contained everything!

Even now, there existed forbidden places that isolated all, where even True Immortals could not pry—and this was naturally related to the Power of Opening Heaven and the power of the World Gods.

Zuo Ming once contemplated this.

Humanity’s unmatched and undefeated geniuses had not reached their limit in the Honored Position; they might even reach the quasi-Monarch realm or even the level of Opening Heaven and Earth.

What True Spirit could rival this?

Could it be the World Beast?

His words came true.

Although it was not the beast that created the world, there indeed existed those that wielded the Power of Opening Heaven; the teachings of the Zixue Royal Path contained scriptures about such beasts, which had already become a rule in the Red Heaven realm. If one were to imitate it using the cave techniques, its might could be replicated!

This would far exceed the original Royal Path inheritance of Zixue!
