Chapter 166: Chapter 85: All Things Return to the Origin, One-Hit Kill

BZZZZ—!

The moment Jiang Xuan’s Nether Abyss Dharma Eye snapped open, an invisible pressure instantly swept across the land.

Just by standing at his side, Dong Hao and Su Linyin felt it firsthand. An ancient and immense force brutally suppressed their bodies, their breathing, their Soul Spirits, and even the Magical Power circulating around them, bringing their very Heart Spirits to a standstill.

The aftershocks alone were this terrifying; the power would be even more horrifying when Jiang Xuan wielded it in earnest.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

As Jiang Xuan opened his Nether Abyss Dharma Eye, the Molten Rock Giant Demon launched over a hundred spears. Wreathed in crimson flames, they shot through the air like falling stars, arriving right before the three of them.

The extreme proximity allowed Jiang Xuan to feel the searing heat wave blasting from the Magma Spears, along with the violent Flame Power contained within.

Before, these powerful, explosive Magma Spears would have caused him great trouble. But now...

CLAP!

As Jiang Xuan clapped his hands together, an invisible, formless field of Gravity suddenly descended around him.

The powerful field exerted a force of its own, causing the rapidly approaching Magma Spears to decelerate drastically.

Now, it was as if they were trapped in a chaotic vortex, struggling to advance even an inch. Their ferocious assault was forcibly slowed to a crawl.

And this was only the beginning.

"All Things: Circulation of Heaven and Earth!"

WHOOSH...

Following Jiang Xuan’s sharp cry, his clasped hands, still held before his chest, suddenly spun.

BZZZZ—!

As his hands rotated, the invisible field between Heaven and Earth began to spin rapidly with him at its center, just like a millstone.

CRACK!

The spinning gravitational vortex swept up all the Magma Spears, forcefully twisting their trajectories.

And just like that, the fatal attack aimed straight at Jiang Xuan was instantly diverted, transforming into streams of crimson light that spiraled around his body.

This move was a combination of Jiang Xuan’s Circulation of Heaven and Earth and his understanding of a black hole’s gravity.

’Rotation is also part of the Nether Abyss Dharma Eye’s power... Most black holes in the universe aren’t stationary; they spin at high speeds.’

’Celestial bodies captured by a black hole don’t just fall straight in. After being caught by its gravity, they rapidly orbit the black hole, getting stretched by tidal forces and torn to shreds in the process!’

Right now, to Jiang Xuan, the Magma Spears were like celestial bodies, and he was the black hole.

By redirecting their momentum, Jiang Xuan effortlessly made the hundred-plus spears circle him endlessly, like a school of fish.

And under the pull of the high-speed rotation, the spears’ own molten structures began to crack and tear apart, losing most of their power before they could even be unleashed.

ROAR!!!

However, the Molten Rock Giant Demon reacted quickly. Discovering its spears had been captured, it immediately let out a furious roar and detonated the Flame Power within the Magma Spears.

RUMBLE...

The exploding Magma Spears were astonishingly powerful, kicking up a monstrous inferno around Jiang Xuan.

From the outside, the flames shot dozens of meters into the air, resembling a mushroom cloud that dyed half the sky crimson.

Hiss...

This terrifying scene was witnessed by all the scattered Cultivators who had managed to survive. The horrifying explosion made them gasp, and their Heart Spirits trembled.

"Such terrifying power."

"How is this monster so strong!"

"It’s over. Jiang Xuan and the others are dead. The monster is definitely going to come after us now."

"Damn it, we never should have stayed here!"

The magnificent explosion and endless flames seemed capable of incinerating everything. None of the surviving Cultivators believed that Jiang Xuan, who had been at the very center of the blast, could have possibly survived.

The Cultivators watching from the outside thought the same.

And this time, it wasn’t just Lin Rongjin who thought so. Su Wanyi’s hand, clutching a handkerchief, suddenly clenched tight, and her face turned deathly pale.

Clearly, she didn’t believe Jiang Xuan could survive such an explosion either.

As she thought back on the battle, she found she couldn’t blame Jiang Xuan.

’He already tried his best and did very well, but the difficulty of this trial is too high, and the backlash is just too strong!’

Just as Su Wanyi was sighing to herself and Lin Rongjin was about to jump for joy, WHOOSH... a shocking change occurred once again on the Projection Technique displaying the Road of Purgatory.

The raging, billowing flames from the explosion didn’t dissipate randomly. Instead, they were stirred by an invisible field and suddenly began to spin.

FWOOSH—!

The roaring, spinning flames formed a fire tornado dozens of meters tall that connected Heaven and Earth.

The next instant, the fire tornado continued to rotate as it abruptly condensed and contracted toward a single point in the air, as if an endlessly powerful vacuum at that location was constantly devouring the flames.

[All Things Return to the Origin]

This sudden turn of events was, naturally, Jiang Xuan’s doing.

After his Nine Breath Qi Ingestion Technique advanced to the Fourth Realm, Jiang Xuan’s Circulation of Heaven and Earth could interact with the outside world. Combined with his Nether Abyss Dharma Eye, this meant Jiang Xuan could use the infinitely powerful gravity of his Dharma Eye as a core to create a vortex field capable of manipulating all the myriad phenomena between Heaven and Earth.

Although the Molten Rock Giant Demon’s explosive attack was ferocious, under his All Things: Circulation of Heaven and Earth, all of its force, the explosion, and the flames were completely restrained within the rapidly spinning vortex.
