My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death

One-armed Wang Xiangchi stood in the void with a spiritual sword in hand, his eyes filled with a deadly resolve.

A silver treasure as big as a ping pong ball appeared above Wang Xiangchi.

A soul-piercing and mournful trumpet sound rang out, instantly setting the atmosphere for a desperate and heroic battle.

The Lava Demon Venerable seemed somewhat at a loss, looking around trying to locate the source of the sound.

With the trumpet's cry, the momentum around Wang Xiangchi continued to grow.

Shapeless Sword Intent converged around Wang Xiangchi, forming a long River of Sword Dao behind him.

Upon the River of Sword Dao, endless formidable Sword Intent flowed within.

With the intensifying bgm, a Sword Intent surged from the River of Sword Dao and merged with Wang Xiangchi.

"Master, only today have I understood your teachings on Sword Dao," said Wang Xiangchi, his eyes fiercely set on the Lava Demon Venerable and the Sword Dao River behind him surging.

Another Sword Dao infused with Thunder Intent merged with Wang Xiangchi.

At this moment, Xu Gang and Li Xingci, who were watching the battle from afar, felt their blood boiling.

This scene of enlightenment in adversity pushed their excitement to the peak, and with the bgm playing, even if the opponent was an Invincible Demon Venerable, he would be trampled beneath their feet.

Xu Gang could hardly contain himself.

"Master, take the junior fellow back. I want to fight this demon venerable," said Xu Gang, his eyes bursting with boundless fighting spirit.

"Give it up, Wang Xiangchi finally had a life-and-death realization once, this is not your battle," Xu Fan glanced at his overbearing disciple.

"Let's wait, Wang Xiangchi still has potential that he hasn't unleashed. We can just watch the battle from here," said Xu Fan.

The Wind Thunder Intent surged from Wang Xiangchi's body, transforming into Sword Dao, and accompanied by the desperate enlightenment, a sword was unleashed.

The bgm continued, and the momentum around Wang Xiangchi formed into Sword Intent, piercing through the sky.

Wind Thunder Sword Intent grew increasingly concentrated around Wang Xiangchi.

Yet, that unleashed sword left only a trivial scratch on the Lava Demon Venerable's Battle Armor.

"Enlightenment in such a desperate situation, interesting!"

"If your Sect knew that you died like this, they would surely be heartbroken!" the Lava Demon Venerable laughed wildly.

A massive lava hand appeared in the sky, slamming towards Wang Xiangchi.

Wang Xiangchi's figure turned into a flash of lightning, moving with lightning speed around the Lava Demon Venerable.

Occasionally, a sword strike was thrown.

But, they were all blocked by the Lava Demon Venerable's Battle Armor.

"Master, shouldn't we step in?" Li Xingci looked at the scratches on the Lava Demon Venerable's armor and said.

In his eyes, those injuries seemed only slightly worse than a scratch.

"There's no rush, Wang Xiangchi is still digesting the Wind Thunder Sword Dao he's realized. Give him some time, and he'll be ready,"

"At least wait until the bgm reaches its peak again," Xu Fan pointed at the silver ping pong ball-sized treasure floating in the air.

The bgm's effect on Heart Sword Dao was no joke.

As expected, as the bgm intensified, Wang Xiangchi formed lightning bolts around himself that moved faster and faster.

Each sword strike became heavier, leaving deeper marks on the Lava Battle Armor.

When the trumpet's cry sounded again, the bgm reached its peak.

At this moment, the Lava Demon Venerable began to panic, no longer focusing on Wang Xiangchi.

Instead, he attacked the treasure playing the bgm.

Unfortunately, the treasure was incredibly agile, and with Wang Xiangchi's interference, it was impossible to destroy the bgm-playing treasure.

Thus, the Lava Demon Venerable found himself in a dilemma: if he didn't attack the treasure, Wang Xiangchi would only grow stronger,

If he attacked the treasure, with Wang Xiangchi's interference, destroying it would be as difficult as reaching for the sky.

"You little worm, you forced me into this!"

The Lava Demon Venerate, with its massive body, fiercely drilled into the Lava Sea.

In the end, the entire Lava Sea burst apart explosively, and countless streams of lava formed into a gigantic sphere.

Wang Xiangchi and the Lava Demon Venerate were both enveloped by it.

"Interesting, Xu Gang, did you notice that this Demon Venerate's divine abilities are a bit similar to yours?" Xu Fan said with a smile, not at all worried about Wang Xiangchi encountering problems inside.

"That was in the past; I rarely use such divine abilities now," Xu Gang said. Usually, he would first bombard from a distance, and if the target was not killed, he would directly use ion rays to scan.

During their casual conversation, a Wind Thunder Sword Intent burst out of the lava-wrapped giant sphere and soared into the sky.

In the end, an unwilling roar from the Lava Demon Venerate resounded from within the molten sphere.

Subsequently, the whole lava giant sphere seemed to lose all supporting power and fell back into the Lava Sea.

Wang Xiangchi, with his last bit of spiritual power, landed on a massive rock floating above the Lava Sea.

Just as Wang Xiangchi was about to take out a healing pill to treat his injuries, his expression suddenly froze.

He looked helplessly at the Lava Sea; he had just thrown his Space Ring and Dao Artifact Palace into the sea of lava.

If he were not fatally injured, he could use spiritual power to summon them back.

But the lethal problem now was that there wasn't a shred of spiritual power in his True Spirit, just like the bottom of a dried-up riverbed.

"I truly brought this upon myself!"

Wang Xiangchi cursed at himself, then endured the pain and sat down cross-legged, trying to recover his spiritual power.

But being in the center of the Lava Sea, surrounded by scorching and raging fire spiritual energy, how could it be easy to absorb?

It was as if an ordinary person was trying to drink boiling water; after having a sip, they would have to spit out the steam and endure the heat before taking another sip.

"Alright, Xiangchi is fine; let's head back," Xu Fan said, then led the other two back to Hidden Spirit Island.

"Master, at least leave a healing pill for Xiangchi before we go," Xu Gang said after they returned to Hidden Spirit Island.

Xu Fan glanced at Li Xingci.

"My small tricks really cannot deceive Master. Please punish me," Li Xingci quickly said.

"In consideration of your deep bond as fellow apprentices, I will..."

Before Xu Fan could finish speaking, a knowing smile spread across Li Xingci's face.

Given their strong bond as fellow apprentices, how could their Master punish him?

"I will punish you with a small game."

A Ghost Orchid enveloped Li Xingci.

Subsequently, Li Xingci appeared in a world filled with ducks.

Seeing this scene, Li Xingci couldn't help but feel extremely unsettled.

He remembered the terror he felt when he was under Master's duck counting game.

Seeing the ducks all around, Li Xingci knew that if he couldn't count them all, he wouldn't be able to escape this illusionary world.

"Quack," Li Xingci reluctantly let out.

Then, a duck jumped into the creek, traveling downstream and vanishing into the mist.

At this point, only one duck disappeared from the Illusory World.

On the Lava Sea of the Volcano region, Wang Xiangchi, who was enduring the pain and absorbing the fire spiritual power, suddenly felt something hitting his head.

He picked it up for a closer look, and it was a Water Spirit Pill with the symbol of the Hidden Spirit Sect on it.

It had the effect of treating fire-based injuries and recovering spiritual power. One could say it was the recovery elixir he needed the most right now.

"It seems that Master has been here," Wang Xiangchi said, moved by the sight of the spiritual pill.

"Master, this time your disciple didn't let you down."
