# Chapter 908: The Terrifying Power of the Divine Path
"In this world, Feng Xue'er possesses the purest divine blood. In a few more years, she will surely truly break through to the Divine Xuan Realm, becoming the first person in Tian Xuan Continent's history to achieve the Divine Path. After that, she will have infinite futures and possibilities."
"And you, Xuanyuan Wentian, not only can never truly step into the Divine Xuan Realm, but you also have no future or possibility left! Moreover, because your bloodline and soul have been thoroughly twisted, chaotic, and broken, after you die, you will completely dissipate, unable to even reincarnate!"
Provoking an enemy and making them lose their calm is sometimes more effective than cutting off one of their arms. Yun Che had clearly succeeded—his words all struck Xuanyuan Wentian's vital points. Xuanyuan Wentian's entire body was trembling, and the black aura around him had become chaotic, showing that he was almost bursting with rage.
Just as Yun Che was about to pour fuel on the fire, he unexpectedly saw Xuanyuan Wentian's body trembling gradually calm down, and even the ferocity in his eyes quickly subsided.
"Heh, heheheh..." Xuanyuan Wentian laughed, no longer ferociously, but extremely lowly: "I am already the World's Venerable Master, already a Demon God possessing the power of the Divine Path... how could I be angered by a mere mortal like you."
"..." Yun Che opened his mouth. This Xuanyuan Wentian went from calm to irritable, then suddenly calmed down, and then became frantic again after his own words provoked him, and now had suddenly calmed down again...
His emotions kept undergoing drastic changes—he was practically insane!
"Infinite futures and possibilities? Heh..." Xuanyuan Wentian laughed darkly: "You people are the ones who have no future or possibility! Because today, I will... annihilate all of you!"
Boom, boom, boom...
In the sky that had lost all light, the darkness seemed to have turned into a viscous solid, slowly descending as it rolled. The lightless world felt like a dark ferocious beast was devouring heaven and earth.
The oppressive pressure Yun Che felt also became heavier at this moment. His gaze pierced through the darkness, and he suddenly discovered that the darkness rolling within the dark clouds was all converging toward Xuanyuan Wentian's back, gradually forming an increasingly vast sea of darkness that was almost impossible to see the edge of.
Above, it connected to the heavens; below, it joined the sea!
Yun Che's brows sank heavily. His profound energy burst forth violently, and the Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword quickly crossed before him.
The world where the Supreme Sea Palace was located also became completely dark. Even with the eyesight of those Emperor Lord-level experts, they couldn't see anything beyond a single zhang. Feng Xue'er thrust out her snow-white hand, igniting a large area of Phoenix Flame in the sky above, which restored some light to the world.
"This... what kind of power is this?"
This terrifying celestial anomaly, this oppressive pressure even more dreadful than their imagined hell... They couldn't imagine that such power could exist in the world, and moreover, that it came from a human.
"Yun Che, before the power of a Demon God, let's see how you struggle now!"
Boom!
The Eternal Night Demonic Sword thrust out. With a simple motion, the boundless sea of darkness descended upon Yun Che from all directions, with no way to avoid it.
"Hiss..." Yun Che inhaled sharply, mobilizing every bit of profound energy in his body without reservation. Apart from Mo Li, who was an anomaly, this was the heaviest pressure and most terrifying power he had ever felt in his life. It was fundamentally different from all the powers he had endured in Tian Xuan Continent... a complete difference in level and realm.
Xuanyuan Wentian could not truly step onto the Divine Path—this was absolutely not Yun Che speaking recklessly. Because he would die before ever achieving the lifespan, soul power, and spiritual perception required for the Divine Path.
However, in terms of profound energy alone, he had indeed reached the Divine Xuan Realm!!
A Divine Xuan Realm that had never existed in Tian Xuan Continent's history!
Against power at this level, Yun Che had absolutely no certainty of victory.
But, if his opponent was Xuanyuan Wentian...
Yun Che suddenly stepped forward. The Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword swung fiercely, and the Golden Crow Flame shot up a hundred zhang high, transforming into a crimson sea of fire that fiercely tore through the darkness.
"Boom!"
The sea of darkness and the raging flames collided in midair. In an instant, the dark sky split into two distinct worlds. Above was the viscous, profound darkness; below was the dazzling firelight, like a golden sun rising. The brilliant flames cast down below, reflecting a layer of gorgeous flowing light on the sea's surface.
"That... that is!!"
The junction of red and black in the northern sky depicted nothing less than an apocalyptic scene. Even those profound practitioners suffering from the demonic poison were lifting their heads with all their might to look northward, afraid to miss even a moment. Because this scene, more shocking than a natural disaster, was something they would never encounter again in their lifetimes.
Anyone could see that the darkness was Xuanyuan Wentian's power, and the crimson flame was Yun Che's power. Although they were a hundred li apart, it was still enough for them to clearly observe the battle situation.
"Brother Yun... fight!" Feng Xue'er tightly grasped her skirt ribbon, her heart completely suspended.
The stalemate between the two worlds lasted only a few short breaths before the dark world suddenly descended, heavily suppressing the sea of fire. Once suppression began, it became increasingly fierce. The flames rapidly dimmed, and the violently churning sea of fire, like a sun being devoured by dark clouds, was mostly extinguished in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Yun!" Feng Xue'er cried out in alarm, both hands clutching at her chest.
Mo Li had once told Yun Che that if the Initial Xuan Realm to the Lord Xuan Realm were considered one major realm, then the Divine Xuan Realm was an entirely different major realm.
In his limit state, Yun Che at the Heavenly Xuan Realm could fight the Overlord Xuan Realm, at the King Xuan Realm could fight the Lord Xuan Realm, and at the Overlord Xuan Realm, he was already able to defeat peerless experts like Huangji Wuyu.
Throughout his journey, his strength could cross one or even two major realms of profound energy levels. However, although the gap between the Lord Xuan Realm and the Divine Xuan Realm appeared to be only one major realm, the chasm between them was truly enormous... so enormous that in Tian Xuan Continent's history, there had been countless Overlord Emperors and countless Emperor Lords, yet never a single Xuan God.
Now, Yun Che, who had stepped into the Lord Xuan Realm, was facing the first person in Tian Xuan's history to break through the Lord Xuan bottleneck and possess the power of the Divine Path, personally experiencing just how vast the gap between these realms was.
His Golden Crow Flame, burned at full power, was utterly defeated in a mere five breaths under Xuanyuan Wentian's Demon God power. A pressure like the collapse of the heavens bore down directly. Yun Che's entire body shook violently, and the sea of fire, along with his body, rapidly descended. When he neared the sea surface, the Golden Crow Flame on him had completely extinguished, and there was no longer a single trace of firelight between heaven and earth.
The darkness all around rolled down like the maw of a demon, completely swallowing Yun Che.
"Hahahaha!" Xuanyuan Wentian burst into earth-shaking laughter: "Yun Che, do you see! This is the power of a Demon God! No matter how great your fortune or how much you improve, what does it matter! Before the power of a Demon God, you are still merely an ant!"
The dark demonic aura churned even more violently, gradually completely obscuring Yun Che's presence. Just then, a sharp howl suddenly rang out, and a crimson sword beam shot up into the sky. The thick darkness was pierced through layer by layer. The sword tip stabbed straight at Xuanyuan Wentian, and wherever it passed, it stirred up a pitch-black spiral storm.
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Wentian's laughter ceased. The dark world had been completely pierced through from bottom to top by the Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword. The sword tip emitting crimson light instantly closed in on his lower abdomen.
Even though it had pierced through the entire dark world, the momentum of the sword showed no sign of weakening.
"That cursed sword again!"
Xuanyuan Wentian let out a low roar. The Eternal Night Demonic Sword suddenly swung downward.
DANG!!!
This was Yun Che's first direct clash with the power of the Divine Path. From the moment his flames were completely suppressed, he had already felt the terror of the Divine Path's power. For this sword confrontation, he had also prepared himself mentally. However, when the powers of the two men violently collided through their swords, his entire body still shook violently, his hands went numb, his vision went black, and for an instant, his consciousness was almost shattered.
Yun Che let out a muffled groan, his body spinning backward.
"Heh, keep struggling. The longer you struggle, the more desperate you will become!"
All the black aura gathered back behind Xuanyuan Wentian. He thrust his sword toward Yun Che, and the darkness surged down in pursuit.
As he flew backward, Yun Che forcibly stabilized his body in a rather twisted posture. His profound energy exploded, and flames reignited. Facing Xuanyuan Wentian's sword strike that seemed capable of burying the heavens, rather than retreating or dodging, he instead swung his sword to meet it head-on. The space around his sword blade shattered like glass, and his unmatched power, merged with the heaven-burning divine flame, twisted and burned through the void layer by layer.
BOOM!!!!
The Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword and the Eternal Night Demonic Sword simultaneously tore through the void, colliding heavily. In an instant, the world fell completely silent, then violently erupted. The fragile space emitted a long, shrill scream as it collapsed for dozens of li in succession. All the surrounding flames and darkness were forcefully blasted apart, and hundreds of li of sea churned with tens of thousands of towering waves.
"Waaaaaaah..."
The Supreme Sea Palace was filled with countless screams, for the entire palace was trembling violently, on the verge of complete collapse at any moment.
"Puh!"
A long spray of blood shot from Yun Che's mouth. Both his arms had completely lost sensation, and he plummeted like a meteorite. Xuanyuan Wentian's sword momentum had not yet been fully neutralized, and several dark sword qi lashed at him like whips, tearing his outer garments apart and leaving several deep, bloody furrows on his body.
As for Xuanyuan Wentian, he was only knocked back less than ten zhang.
Yun Che continued falling until he neared the sea surface before finally stopping. His entire body ached intensely, the places struck by the sword qi were excruciatingly painful, and blood seeped from both his arms that had borne the terrifying force.
In all of Tian Xuan Continent, only Yun Che could withstand a blow like Xuanyuan Wentian's. If it were anyone else, even with Yun Che's same level of power, their arms would have surely been shattered.
Slowly raising the Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword again, the Golden Crow reignited upon him, and his profound energy surged once more. Although Yun Che's body was covered in blood and he was breathing heavily, the power that erupted again showed no sign of weakening compared to before.
This Xuanyuan Wentian...
By now, Yun Che was completely certain that although Xuanyuan Wentian would never attain the lifespan and spiritual perception of the Divine Path, his terrifying power had indeed truly reached the Divine Xuan Realm.
The reason there was such an enormous chasm between the Lord Xuan Realm and the Divine Xuan Realm was that below the Divine Xuan Realm, no matter how strong one was, they were ultimately still mortal.
But once one stepped into the Divine Xuan Realm, they transcended the mortal realm and truly became a god among men!
All of Yun Che's previous enemies, no matter how powerful, were ultimately human... even the Moon Devouring Demon Lord had his power degraded to the human level. Today, however, he was using mortal power to fight against someone with the power of the Divine Path!
And this was a battle he had to win, no matter what.
