The previous Chen Yun had indeed used Taixi Purple Cloak to attempt to withstand the power of Taibai Killosword. However, unfortunately, he finally couldn't withstand it.
In fact, he clearly felt the aura being broken through just now, and his physical body endured a slash from the divine sword, even his precious robe was cut through by the sword.
Then why did he come out unscathed and his precious robe seemed undamaged?
It was very simple for Chen Yun to come out unscathed. He had cultivated the 'Pangu True Body Technique' to the fourth level, his body was already comparable to a bodiless immortals' realm, perhaps not as strong as Er Langshen, Xie Ziran and Nezha and other sacred entities, but his defense was still formidable. Therefore, he naturally would not fear the precious sword containing a trace of Qiming Qi.
If it were Tai Bai Jin Xing himself who came, his physical body would certainly not be able to withstand it. However, with only a trace of Qiming Qi, enduring the pressure is not a big deal.
As for why the robe seems undamaged, Chen Yun initially also felt some surprise.
He felt the precious robe was cut through at that moment and thought that the treasure had been ruined. But who would have thought that, in the next moment, this precious robe absorbed endless vitality from the earth and instantly recovered to its original state.
He was initially taken aback, not understanding the situation at all.
As soon as he thought about the origin of this precious robe, he knew what had happened.
The previous owner of Taixi Purple Cloak and Wuling Rainbow Tower is the Tribe Land God.
In ancient times, he was in charge of the fate of all living beings on this land, as well as protecting the safety of people, and inherently possessed great divine power.
As these two divine artifacts were the accompaniments of the Tribe Land God, they naturally also contain similar or corresponding divine powers.
For example, Taixi Purple Cloak can absorb vitality from the earth to repair damage, as long as there is land, it will not truly perish.
Whether the Five-Colored Lapis Glass Pagoda is like this, Chen Yun does not know yet.
Chen Yun speculated that it should be somewhat similar to the condition of Taixi Purple Cloak.
Although one is mainly for defense and the other is mainly for attack.
In the past, Chen Yun did not know how powerful the Tribe Land God truly was.
After experiencing today's battle, he can roughly judge that the strength of Taixi Purple Cloak should be able to withstand some attacks from divine realms, but it cannot possess special "attributes".
For example, Qiming Qi specializes in killing and is unstoppable, easily breaking through defenses.
Therefore, the strength of that Tribe Land God is estimated to be similar to many immortals in the northeast, and is very likely to have reached the level of Hu San Taiye, which is the strength of a beginner in the realm of immortals.
In short, Chen Yun's physical body can withstand the Taibai Killosword.
He said letting Gou Teng Dao Ren strike him again was to implement the next tactical plan and eliminate the enemy all at once.
Gou Teng Dao Ren did not know what Chen Yun was thinking, and thought that the other party was showing off. Instantly, he smiled broadly.
He could also use words to tease Chen Yun to prevent him from avoiding the blow: "Chen Pu, if you say that I should cut you again, don't feel that you can't withstand it and run away later. There are tens of thousands of people watching on both sides, I'm sure you don't want to lose face."
Chen Yun said with a smile: "Go ahead and use your precious sword, if I avoid it, I'll count you as the winner."
"Good!" Gou Teng Dao Ren held the precious sword, "I'll raise it now, you just get ready."
Chen Yun reached out: "Please."
Gou Teng Dao Ren did not speak again, directly raised the precious sword in his palm.
The next moment, a ray of white light hovered, releasing endless killing intent!
Just like before, as soon as the precious sword was raised, it shone bright like the sun, illuminating the earth and heaven with brilliance.
The killing aura was chilling and pervaded the universe, terrifying to this extent.
The overwhelming wave of killing intent surged towards them like an ocean.
Standing still in the endless sea of killing intent, Chen Yun was like a tiny boat, seemingly ready to be swallowed at any moment, but in reality, he held on firmly.
Gou Teng Dao Ren pressed the index and middle fingers of his right hand together, took a deep breath, and warned, "Chen Pu, you still have time to regret now. If I raise the precious sword again, there will be no turning back!"
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Master Gou Teng, with your words, I am very satisfied. I will certainly not beat you into a state where your soul and body are extinguished."
Gou Teng Dao Ren did not expect Chen Yun to still dare to speak so arrogantly at this moment, and his heart was somewhat annoyed.
Gou Teng Dao Ren coldly snorted and said, "I have been advising you one after another, but you don't listen. Then go die!"
After speaking, he pointed at Chen Yun with his forefinger and middle finger of his right hand.
The next moment, "Tai Bai Luo Mo Dao" suddenly flashed like a white light.
As if traversing countless realms, it struck Chen Yun's shoulder in an instant.
Clang!
A loud bang resounded!
At the spot where Chen Yun's shoulder met the precious sword, a shower of sparks flew out.
The situation was almost identical to before.
The difference was that this time there was no robe radiance floating up, only sparks jumping.
Gou Teng Dao Ren was again greatly shocked and exclaimed, "Can you really withstand the precious sword?"
Just as Gou Teng Dao Ren's words were about to be said, he suddenly saw Chen Yun lift up the Seventeen Treasure Tree Brush.
Gou Teng Dao Ren immediately understood Chen Yun's intention, and burst into rage at once, "So you want to take advantage of my precious sword, never!"
He hurriedly recited incantations, trying to retrieve the precious sword.
Unexpectedly, something happened. Just as Chen Yun raised the Seventeen Treasure Tree Brush, he pretended to brush it for a moment, but in reality, he did not release any power.
Gou Teng Dao Ren successfully retracted the precious sword into his palm, but he was stunned, unable to understand Chen Yun's actions.
It was precisely at that moment of distraction that Chen Yun seized the opportunity, a violent, intense purple light appearing in his palm.
Soon, a purple pearl the size of a bean was raised to mid-air, releasing boundless purple light.
At this moment, the sky, the land, mountains and rivers, as well as the entire world seemed to be dyed purple.
Gou Teng Dao Ren, who was still caught off guard, immediately sensed an irresistible power rising from the void, which suddenly subdued his consciousness, preventing him from leaving his body.
Moreover, Gou Teng Dao Ren felt as if his whole body was frozen by the purple light, unable to move or even speak!
He turned pale and finally understood why Chen Yun had been so arrogant and hard to withstand the precious sword, as well as why he pretended to use the Seventeen Treasure Tree Brush to hit the precious sword.
It seems Chen Yun's intention was not in the drink!
At this moment, Gou Teng Dao Ren's heart cleared, realizing that Chen Yun could withstand the power of the precious sword for the first time, not because of Taixi Purple Cloak, but because of his physical body. That's why he dared to continue resisting the second time.
As for the act of pretending to use the Seventeen Treasure Tree Brush on the precious sword, it was to draw Gou Teng's attention, making it easier for him to raise that purple pearl!
Feeling the terrifying power of the Extinguishing God Twin Pearl that subdued his consciousness, Gou Teng Dao Ren was filled with despair in his heart.
Anybody could understand that being suppressed by their own spirit in a fight was how terrifying it was, and it would definitely be beaten into oblivion!
Gou Teng Dao Ren felt icy cold in his heart, knowing that there was no way out and he was doomed to die.
Perhaps due to the demeanor of a great master, although he was very desperate, there was not a trace of fear in his heart.
At that moment, scenes of his whole life suddenly started "playing" in Gou Teng Dao Ren's mind.
Once upon a time, he had not yet opened his spiritual intelligence and was a hook vine immortal tree in the Kunlun Garden of the West Queen Mother's heavenly pool. Every day, he absorbed the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, growing robustly, just to bloom and produce pollen so that other hook vine immortal trees could bear fruit.
Suddenly, one day, a foreign species of heaven and earth spiritual energy fell, causing Gou Teng to develop spiritual intelligence.
Afterward, he absorbed heaven and earth essence day and night, finally transforming into a form on a night filled with stars.
At that time, Gou Teng Dao Ren was afraid of being mistaken for an immortal by the many immortals in the Yutang Pool, and immediately fled from Kunlun to the foot of the mountains, where he met Xie Wu Yang, who had just started his cultivation.
The two men saw each other at once and became inseparable, forming a blood brotherhood.
In the days to come, Xie Wu Yang taught Gou Teng many knowledge about cultivation.
Because of this, in Gou Teng Dao Ren's heart, Xie Wu Yang was a figure like both teacher and friend.
At one time, he thought he would keep this relationship with Xie Wu Yang forever.
Until he met a woman, who captivated his heart without warning.
Unfortunately, the woman eventually chose Xie Wu Yang, with whom she had a son and a daughter.
It was Xie Wuye and Xie Lingxiao.
Gou Teng Dao Ren returned to the Kunlun realm to avoid sorrow.
At first, he had only meant to subdue demons and evil spirits without any intention of founding a school or sect. However, as his reputation in the Kunlun realm grew, people began to seek him out to become his disciples and learn martial arts.
Therefore, the Starry Sea on the border also came into being.
Gou Teng Dao Ren had thought that he would spend the rest of his life cultivating the Dao.
After all, the woman he admired had become his brother-in-law's wife, so he couldn't have any inappropriate desires.
What was unexpected was that one day he suddenly met a little girl, whose appearance was somewhat similar to the woman he admired.
Therefore, he took that little girl as his adopted daughter.
That little girl was none other than the later "insane" Shen Xuel.
In fact, Gou Teng Dao Ren had known that Shen Xuel's mind was abnormal for a long time.
However, because she looked so much like the woman he admired, he spoiled her excessively, going to great lengths to defend her even as she acted recklessly.
Little did he know that it was precisely because of his overindulgence that Shen Xuel caused great trouble for the Starry Sea.
This led to Chen Pu, who is now before him, leading countless divine warriors and disciples, along with his followers, to slaughter the Starry Sea to the last person.
In fact, Gou Teng Dao Ren was not very angry about the massacre of the Starry Sea's entire household. It was just that his hard-won Shen Xuel, who had been reborn with the help of a magical lotus root, still escaped the fate of being annihilated by Chen Pu, which plunged him into heartbreak and despair.
Therefore, Gou Teng Dao Ren vowed to annihilate Chen Pu completely, which led to the events that followed.
Unfortunately, despite teaming up with Xie Wu Yang, they were ultimately thwarted by Nai He and Yue He.
At that time, Gou Teng Dao Ren still held some doubts, thinking that Nai He and Yue He could protect Chen Yun for a while, but not for a lifetime.
In the end, he never expected that one day he would hear the shocking news of Xie Wu Yang's destruction by Chen Pu.
The woman he admired had died, and Shen Xuel was killed.
Gou Teng Dao Ren had endured too much sorrow.
Now, even his teacher and friend Xie Wu Yang had passed away, and he felt utterly enraged deep down inside.
At the moment he heard the news of Xie Wu Yang's death, Gou Teng Dao Ren felt a desperate desire to cut Chen Pu into a thousand pieces.
Therefore, when he sensed that Chen Yun was heading to the East Sea, he went to attack him.
However, what frustrated him was that Chen Yun had been deified by the Laojun and became a part of the Heavenly Court.
He had no choice but to uphold the heavenly laws and regulations, holding his breath in frustration and returning without achieving anything.
For the next two and a half years, Gou Teng Dao Ren seemed to be possessed, constantly thinking about how to kill Chen Pu.
Until half a year ago, one day he suddenly woke up and realized that he was facing the biggest calamity of his life.
If he could get through it, he would leap to the realm of immortals, but if he couldn't, he would perish both physically and spiritually.
As an immortal tree transformed by cultivation, Gou Teng Dao Ren has a high level of understanding and comprehension.
He quickly suppressed the demons in his heart and gradually struggled out of the calamity.
He never expected that, in the end, he would first encounter his enemy, Chen Pu, on the battlefield of the Deification War.
Most importantly, he sensed that the recently encountered Chen Pu, whose cultivation and realm had seemingly surpassed his own, was still the one he was after.
This enraged Gou Teng Dao Ren while also instilling a sense of fear within him.
He realized that he was again being influenced by the extreme practice of martial arts, and he exerted his utmost effort to suppress it, trying not to let his path of cultivation be too disrupted.
Therefore, when he raised the sword just now, Gou Teng Dao Ren wanted to kill Chen Yun very much, but he repeatedly stopped himself because he was truly about to pass the greatest calamity of his life.
To his regret, in the end, he still fell short.
Chen Yun, with his powerful cultivation and tactics that were impossible to defend against, was finally about to annihilate him.
These thoughts were long-winded, but in truth, they only flashed through Gou Teng Dao Ren's mind for a moment.
“When did I fall into the greatest calamity of my life?”
Gou Teng Dao Ren couldn't help but ask himself.
Soon, he found the answer himself.
"Previously, I had started my tribulation the moment I saw her for the first time."
Thinking of this, an involuntary image of that pure and lovely face once again appeared in Gou Teng Dao Ren's mind.
As if seeing her face again, it's still like yesterday.
It was precisely because he overindulged his adopted daughter, Shen Xuel, whose appearance resembled the woman he loved, that he fell into this predicament today.
Does Gou Teng Dao Ren regret it?
Gou Teng Dao Ren's gaze became increasingly firm.
He……doesn't regret it at all!
Finally, all the thoughts passed through his mind.
Gou Teng Dao Ren suddenly felt a sense of relief.
As if the death he was facing now was not a death, but true liberation.
He slowly closed his eyes, sighing deeply from within, "Chen Pu is a remarkable person; to die in his hands is not unjust after all, considering how he has cultivated to such a profound level in just a few decades!"
In the next moment, Gou Teng Dao Ren suddenly felt a "blackout," plunging himself into an endless abyss of darkness, with no trace of thought left.
His life had paused here, fully returning to nature.
...
Plop.
Gou Teng Dao Ren's body crashed heavily onto the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Chen Yun, using the two-in-one Demonic Deification Pearl, directly shattered Gou Teng Dao Ren's soul, without harming his physical body.
The ancestors of the Western Queen Mother have sent a message, leaving Gou Teng's true body unchanged. Chen Yun must comply with the edict.
Moreover, being shattered to the point of soulless is considered true death, and whether the flesh is annihilated or not is irrelevant.
In that moment when Gou Teng Dao Ren's body fell to the ground, his body began to emit an infinite amount of starlight, and his shape was undergoing a significant transformation. Starting from the human form, he gradually changed into a vine-like tree.
Chen Yun gazed at the true form of Gou Teng Dao Ren after his death and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
The "boulder" that had been weighing heavily on his heart for decades had finally been removed.
This caused him to feel a mix of emotions, both heavy and light.
That feeling of lightness on his body was like being released from the weight of the Five Finger Mountain beneath Sun Wukong.
The sky is wide and the earth is vast, let me run freely!
In this moment, his path of cultivation is constantly being elevated.
It seems like the next moment, he will become wind, fully integrated into nature.
The significant elevation of his mindset created an indescribable influence on his entire body, both flesh and spirit, as if receiving an inexplicable force that prompted a profound transformation.
Especially, his spiritual essence seemed to break through the clouds and see the blue sky.
He had reached a state of supreme and perfect perfection.
Chen Yun felt a vague sense that he was about to achieve perfection in both form and essence!
