The Divine Elephant Illusion trampled the ground as it surged forward, each step resounding like thunder, turning the ground into a valley that could easily become a lake with a single rain.

Lingming of the Celestial Tier looked on with arrogance, displaying disdain. This body of his came from an Earth Immortal of the Dharma Body Realm, with vitality as vast as the sea and a physique surpassing typical Earth Immortal magical treasures.

Magical power surged from his Long Sword as he struck, the blow landing directly on the Divine Elephant Illusion, producing a resonant clanging sound, followed by the deep reverberation of a great bell that made the land within a thousand meters ripple like water.

The energy of the Divine Elephant Illusion was slightly consumed, yet it remained intact. This was the secret technique of the Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield; it could only be destroyed through attrition, an explosive attack was nearly impossible unless the total energy of the attack exceeded that of the Divine Elephant Illusion.

"Not bad at all."

On the surface, Lingming displayed indifference, not wanting to entangle with the Divine Elephant Illusion any further, and instead charged toward Wang Xuan, with Sword Qi flickering and crisscrossing.

He could maintain half of the original owner's cultivation level, unable to cultivate further but able to sustain it, a showcase of part of his racial talent.

"A sword? It seems the original owner of your body comes from some Sword Sect in the Divine Land. Unfortunately, it's not first-class, unlike the disciples of Celestial Sword Mountain, and you're just awkwardly imitating." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Wang Xuan could feel the physique strength of Lingming's body. As he swung his Treasure Saber, the Demon Vibration Nine Slash Blade Skill was utilized.

With each additional slash, Wang Xuan's saber grew heavier, pressing directly toward Lingming. The clash of their weapons erupted in energy explosions, energy waves spreading out wide.

The ninth slash fell, and all of Wang Xuan's physique and Golden Core Power were infused into the Treasure Saber, sweeping out with a shout.

Both the Mixed Element Martial Scripture and Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield were cultivated to the peak of the Sky Realm. His physique and the mutated Primordial Golden Core Power at this realm were unimaginably formidable, capable of crushing most Divinity Transformation Realm disciples from any Mountain Gate.

With the speed enhancement of the Primordial Spirit Sword times several tens of the speed of sound on his flesh body, his speed suddenly reached the Celestial Immortal level, crossing thirty to forty miles in a second, instantly increasing the intensity of his attacks.

Lingming furrowed his brows, realizing Wang Xuan's combat power had reached the Dharma Body Realm and couldn't be underestimated.

"Sword technique unmatched!" He unleashed a sword technique, his Flying Sword speeding at an unimaginable rate, aiming for Wang Xuan's head.

Wang Xuan chuckled coldly, "You shouldn't use a sword."

Using a sword in front of him, who had cultivated the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo, was nearly suicidal. Even Celestial Sword Mountain prodigy Zhao Hao suffered greatly, let alone this half-baked alien race!

"Listen to my command! Sword go!" With Wang Xuan's saber light already upon him, Lingming's sword light was redirected, curving to stab toward its original target.

Lingming brought forth a shield to block in front of him, meeting Wang Xuan's final slash of the Demon Vibration Nine Slash head-on.

Boom!

The square shield bore the brunt of the tremendous impact and explosive force, its surface cracked countless times, on the verge of shattering with one more blow.

Yet, Wang Xuan's powerful attack had been absorbed.

"Good! Blocked it!"

Many aliens watched, expecting a decisive crush, but to their surprise, Wang Xuan managed to match Lingming evenly.

"If Lingming's sword had struck Wang Xuan, there wouldn't have been another slash!" They couldn't fathom why Lingming's sword strayed so far off target.

While they were grateful Lingming blocked Wang Xuan's formidable slash, their eyes narrowed in disbelief at the scene before them.

Thud!

Just having blocked Wang Xuan's slash, Lingming's heart was suddenly pierced by a sharp sword, blood streaming from its tip, a wave of severe pain causing his body to seize.

Wang Xuan, moving with the swiftness comparable to the Celestial Immortal First Realm - the Pure Yang Immortal, reappeared in front of Lingming, with a slight smirk on his lips.

"An immortal caresses your head, severing longevity with one hand."

His hand, filled with strength, fell on Lingming's head, and with a cracking sound, the skull shattered into countless pieces.

The scalp and muscles held the skull together, but the brain inside was turned to red bean curd, shaken to fragments.

The arrogant Lingming, in fierce combat with Wang Xuan for less than ten breaths, had his flesh body destroyed. Before the battle, he had even recited Li Bai's famous line, hoping to elegantly kill Wang Xuan.

However, Wang Xuan shattered Lingming's head with this method, thoroughly trampling on his dignity.

"Impossible!"

Cries of shock and disbelief arose, as the admirers of Lingming could not accept the fact that the powerful Spirit Race prodigy was defeated by Wang Xuan of the Human Race.

Lin Xiyue relaxed significantly, her heart calming down. She hadn't realized in her worried state how fast her heart had been beating. She only began to relax when Wang Xuan swiftly overcame Lingming.

"I never expected the junior brother's combat power to be this formidable." Lin Xiyue's eyes showed a hint of surprise, as Wang Xuan, having entered the sect for just over a year, had already shone brightly, becoming something of a legend.

The Alien True Immortal on a majestic throne raised an eyebrow, the swaying blood-red wine also came to a slow halt, though he did not appear concerned.

"Human Race prodigies are also not to be underestimated, yet this battle is just beginning," Lingming Divine Spirit said with a cold smile.

A spirit body detached from the flesh, Lingming burning with rage, only wanting to crush Wang Xuan for his loss of face.

He hadn't expected Wang Xuan, merely at the Peak of Sky Control, to erupt with Dharma Body-level combat power in a short time, and even interfere with his control over his sword.

"You deserve to die! You deserve to die!" Lingming shone like a small moon, his Yang Tier soul body much stronger than a typical Earth Immortal's soul.

With only a soul body, the Spirit Race could still battle strong members from many races due to their natural gift for dealing with spirit matters.

"The body you inhabited, it was born with a defect." Wang Xuan shook his head. He was not surprised at his previous victory; if the original owner of that body were alive, he would not have won so easily.

But with the original soul gone, it was like a tree being felled, the body retaining some vitality for a short period, but eventually decaying over time. The more the body was used, the quicker its loss of vitality, physique strength, and magical power.

"To the Spirit Race, the collected bodies are nothing but toys. Do you think that just being slightly ahead of me is enough to be proud? Ridiculous!"

Lingming laughed, for other races, the loss of their physical bodies often meant the disappearance of their soul bodies, even the Human Race Earth Immortals would lose much combat ability, nothing more than a shadow of their former selves.

But the Spirit Race was born without physical bodies, cultivating the spirit body, fundamentally different from other races.

Wang Xuan furrowed his brow slightly, the Divine Elephant Illusion enveloping him, but Lingming laughed wildly, rushing toward him, a mass of silver light piercing through the Divine Elephant Illusion, consuming some of its energy, then directly invading Wang Xuan's Sea of Consciousness.

Mental combat was indeed what the Spirit Race excelled in!
