Chapter 18 The True Power Of Celestial Being Realm Experts

• "BOOM!" Nalan Piaoxue slashed his sword from afar, conjuring a river of sword qi spanning hundreds of li. Starlight surged within its turbulent current, shattering layer after layer of clouds as if splitting the sky in two. "So he's truly reached Celestial Being Realm." Ye Qinghe's eyes flickered at the sudden appearance of the notorious lecher, her mind plotting silently. "What? This debauched scoundrel wields such power?" Below, cultivators gaped in horror. The sight of Nalan Piaoxue—famous for his licentious deeds—unleashing such earth-shattering might left them reeling. Yin Jiuxie, facing the attack head-on, felt his expression stiffen. The sword qi river surged with boundless fury, as if countless stars tugged at his mind, threatening to drag him into eternal damnation. He wasted no time: his narrow eyes flew open, contorting into a sinister snarl. With a thunderous roar, he spread his arms, summoning a phantom world hundreds of li in size. Icy air poured forth, instantly encasing the valley and surrounding forests in thick frost, dropping the temperature by dozens of degrees. "RUMBLE..." The sword qi river crashed into the phantom world, unleashing torrents of icy air that ravaged the valley. Ancient trees disintegrated into powder, their remains swept up in the tempest.
• "Danger!" Tan Xuan, hiding in the shadows, leaped into action. His figure blurred through the forest, vanishing dozens of li away in the blink of an eye. Glancing back, he saw the grove where he'd stood now reduced to piles of ice—all life erased. A cold sweat trickled down his spine. "WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!" Cultivators fled the valley in panicked droves. The battle between Celestial Beings was too terrifying; even its aftershocks were lethal. Only those at the 3rd Stratum of Divine Repository or higher dared remain nearby.
• "Yin Jiuxie, your cold-attributed arts are ill-suited to the Li Huo Mystic Mirror. Surrender it," Li Shitai appeared before him, voice grave. "Agreed. Hand over the saint artifact." Ye Qinghe flew to Yin Jiuxie's other side, countless lotus flowers blooming around her. Though beautiful, each petal pulsed with enough energy to vaporize a Divine Repository cultivator. True Disciples from the Luo Shui Sect—Li Yue'er, Zhang Xiufeng, Yue Lin—and other major forces frowned. None had sent Celestial Being Disciples, leaving them powerless against Ye Qinghe, Nalan Piaoxue, Yin Jiuxie, and Li Shitai. The gap between Divine Repository and Celestial Being was as vast as between an ant and an elephant. "Gagaga! You think to steal from me? I am Old Demon Hanshan! I take from others—none take from me!" Yin Jiuxie sneered. "Even if this artifact clashes with my attributes, it's mine now. Surrender? In your dreams." "Pah! How dare you refuse me, old fool! Tomorrow, I might just visit your granddaughter and 'discuss the origins of life' with her," Nalan Piaoxue leered, waving his fan absurdly. "Pfft!" Laughter erupted from the crowd—all except the embarrassed Northern Dipper Sword Sect disciples. Even Li Shitai's mouth twitched at the vulgarity. Yin Jiuxie ignored the provocation, unshaken. Nalan Piaoxue inwardly cursed; the old demon saw through his ploy to incite recklessness. As a seasoned fiend, Yin Jiuxie knew he could escape even if all three attacked. Exchanging a glance, Nalan Piaoxue, Li Shitai, and Ye Qinghe struck as one. A colossal lotus, a storm of bamboo leaves, and seven star-sized orbs crushed the void. The assault was so devastating that mountains collapsed and ancient trees were uprooted, painting a scene of apocalyptic fury. Below, cultivators turned pale. Witnessing a full-powered Celestial Being attack shattered their misconceptions—even the aftershocks were impossible for Divine Repository cultivators to withstand. "Icebound World!" Yin Jiuxie's hands formed seals, and the phantom world solidified into a tangible realm several li across. A chilling aura, distinct from the Xuanhuang Continent's laws, surged forth—an independent world governed by its own icy rules. "RUMBLE!" The Icebound World swallowed the trio's attacks. *This is the true might of a Celestial Being—creation of a personal world*. The Celestial Being Realm has three sub-realms:
