Xu Nian and Xuan Ye followed Cold Crow into a hidden mine, suspecting his true intentions were hidden behind the lure of the Origin Key. They discovered Cold Crow entering a secret chamber through a stone gate, only to find themselves in a small world containing a colossal eyeball radiating immense power. Cold Crow revealed that the Origin Key and Emperor Coffin were decoys to cause infighting, feeding the mysterious eyeball, which Xu Nian correctly deduced was a powerful entity being refined as Cold Crow's avatar. Angered, Cold Crow attacked.

Xu Nian directly executed the fourth move of the Geng Metal Sword Technique, slashing with a sword that transformed into an incomparably fierce sword radiance.

It collided with Cold Crow’s attack.

Xu Nian instantly engaged in a fierce battle with Cold Crow, their attacks causing the heavens to crumble and the earth to split.

At this moment, Xu Nian truly felt the power of the Origin Order.

Every attack from Cold Crow contained origin power, and this power, combined in an exceedingly profound manner, became immensely strong.

Even with the assistance of Geng Metal Qi, Xu Nian was still suppressed by Cold Crow’s assault.

"Boom!"

Cold Crow swung a blade, instantly chopping off Xu Nian’s entire arm.

Then he punched Xu Nian in the chest, sending him flying hundreds of zhang away.

"Pfft!"

Xu Nian spat out blood, a look of shock appearing on his face.

The power of the Origin Talisman at the third rank was astonishingly strong!

Cold Crow’s attack power was far too formidable, vastly exceeding Xu Nian’s power several times over.

Xu Nian attempted to heal his wounds, but the origin power at the site persisted, making it difficult for his arm to grow back.

The broken bones in his chest were the same way.

"Is this the power of the Origin Talisman?" Xu Nian murmured to himself.

The injury caused by this origin talisman power, even the divine body found hard to recover from.

"Kid, do you think you can contend with the power of the Origin Talisman? Without hundreds of years, your arm won’t regrow. You’re doomed." Cold Crow sneered.

Hundreds of years?

Xu Nian furrowed his brows slightly.

Indeed, the power of the origin talisman at the severed arm was incredibly strong, continuously eroding his divine body.

Restoration seemed nearly impossible.

In other words, the power exerted by the Origin Talisman made recovery nearly impossible.

"Prepare to die!" Cold Crow sneered.

Then he swung a sword light, seemingly intending to decapitate Xu Nian completely.

"Boom!"

At this moment, Xuan Ye suddenly intervened, slashing with a sword, which transformed into a cold beam, shattering Cold Crow’s attack.

"Are you okay? Take this pill, it can remove the power of the origin talisman." Xuan Ye handed a pill to Xu Nian.

"The Destructive Origin Pill, you actually have such a treasure. This is a Divine Sovereign-level Pill. Who are you? You must have a high status." Cold Crow looked at Xuan Ye in surprise.

Xuan Ye remained indifferent, not answering, but instead looked at Xu Nian and said, "Later, help me hold him off. I will charge up for one strike. Just hold for ten breaths, and I can kill him."

Xu Nian had already consumed the pill, and the origin power in his internal injuries was also dispelled by the pill’s power.

His body instantly healed with the help of divine power, regrowing anew.

He was utterly astonished, realizing from Cold Crow’s words that the value of this Destructive Origin Pill must be extraordinary.

"Alright, leave it to me." Xu Nian said.

"You want to hold me off? Kid, do you think you can hold me off for ten breaths?" Cold Crow sneered incessantly.

From their previous exchanges, he already knew Xu Nian’s true strength.

At most, comparable to origin second rank level strength, and even that was the lowest tier.

While he was at origin third rank, encompassing two ranks, though not reaching mid-level, it had already reached the level of thirty thousand energy particles.

So Xu Ping’an couldn’t possibly block him.

Xu Nian, however, paid no heed and instead had a fierce glint in his eyes.

The next moment, the Nine-star Geng Metal Sword Formation burst forth, attacking Cold Crow.

At this moment, the Nine-star Geng Metal Sword Formation was entirely under Shi Shanshan’s control.

Meanwhile, Xu Nian wielded the Divine Sword transformed from the Demon-Subduing Pestle, continuously executing the Great Gold Yuan Sword Technique’s fourth move, Sky Breaking Strike.

The Nine-star Geng Metal Sword Formation was already almost equivalent to origin second rank.

At this moment, it erupted, entangling Cold Crow in an instant.

On the other side, the Sky Breaking Strike executed by Xu Nian was also extremely formidable, giving Cold Crow considerable trouble.

For a moment, Cold Crow was indeed held back by Xu Nian.

"Humph, just a broken sword formation trying to hold me back, courting death!" Cold Crow was infuriated.

An extremely strong origin order aura erupted from his entire body.

Then an extraordinarily terrifying dark light emanated from the Divine Blade in his hand.

This dark light was unsettling, making Xu Nian feel an extremely dangerous aura.

"Slash!"

Cold Crow slashed one of the Divine Swords in the Nine-star Geng Metal Sword Formation.

"Crack!"

The next moment, that Divine Sword was instantly cleaved in two by Cold Crow.

With one sword less, the power of the Nine-star Geng Metal Sword Formation was greatly reduced.

Cold Crow slashed again, this time destroying the remaining eight swords of the Geng Metal Sword Formation.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian instantly felt a sharp pain in the spiritual sense of Shi Shanshan, housed within the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

The Nine-star Geng Metal Sword Formation was also a part of her essence, and all nine swords were obliterated.

Her spiritual sense was also greatly shattered.

"Master, I need to rest." Shi Shanshan’s voice echoed in Xu Nian’s mind.

"Alright, you take a rest." Xu Nian furrowed his brows.

He didn’t expect Cold Crow to break the Nine-star Geng Metal Sword Formation, severely damaging Shi Shanshan’s spiritual sense.

Shi Shanshan then fell silent.

Fortunately, Xu Nian had stored a part of her spiritual sense in the Demon-Subduing Pestle.

Otherwise, at this moment, Shi Shanshan would likely have been completely obliterated.

Even so, it resulted in significant damage to her divine soul.

"Haha, young guy from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Races, what other skills do you have? Trying to restrain me with such petty tricks? I’ll kill you first, then kill her." Cold Crow laughed coldly.

The next moment, he shot towards Xu Nian like a meteor.

Xu Nian, realizing the impending threat, glanced at Xuan Ye on the side.

The latter seemed to be gathering power at this moment, likely about to unleash some kind of extremely powerful attack.

But only five breaths had passed at this moment, making it truly difficult to hold off Cold Crow effectively.

"Die!"

Cold Crow had reached Xu Nian, the Divine Blade in his hand slashing directly toward Xu Nian’s neck.

He intended to decapitate Xu Nian, making him utterly irrecoverable.

Staring at the approaching Cold Crow, a fierce gleam suddenly flickered in Xu Nian’s eyes.

"Not good!" Cold Crow instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

He tried to retreat!

"Too late!" Xu Nian struck instantly.

GodsLevel Sword Technique!

A sharp sword completely condensed from divine sense shot out from Xu Nian’s forehead instantly.

It directly pierced through Cold Crow’s body.

"Poof!"

Cold Crow’s body was flung back, a huge hole appeared in his chest, and his gaze turned dazed.

He fell back a good three hundred zhang before landing.

After performing this sword move, Xu Nian also showed signs of exhaustion.

In that moment, he had unleashed the GodsLevel Sword Technique taught by Master Ye Tian.

A Divine Sense Sword hammered seventy thousand times!

However, this sword still didn’t completely destroy Cold Crow’s entire divine body.

Cold Crow was from the Ancient Divine Clan, their divine sense was attached to every cell of their body.

As long as one cell remained undestroyed, the divine sense remained immortal.

With that strike, Xu Nian had annihilated ninety percent of Cold Crow’s cells.

Yet, the last ten percent were not destroyed.

Now Cold Crow had regained his senses, slowly standing up, his cells frantically regenerating, the blood hole in his chest rapidly healing.

"Divine sense attack, boy, you truly surprised me, being able to wound me to such an extent. Your divine sense has almost reached the Divine Sovereign level, but unfortunately, it hasn’t undergone the qualitative change of the Divine Sovereign level; otherwise, this strike could have killed me." Cold Crow grinned coldly, his gaze turning sinister and cruel.

Xu Nian furrowed his brows, his gaze heavy.

Cold Crow was indeed terrifying, enduring his GodsLevel Sword with no fatal wound.

Truly, Ancient Divine Clans were difficult to kill!

Had it been an ordinary New God at origin third rank, they would probably have perished by now.
