Three Enclosures and Four Symbols

Chapter 257 Battle with the Crocodile Ancestor, Ascend to Immortality!

"Boy, you stand before me, are you trying to be my enemy?!" Above Yinghuo, Ancestor Crocodile's killing intent soared to the sky. Just a tremor of his body caused the heavens and earth to collapse!

"Not to be your enemy, only to slay you." Jiang Xuan said calmly, his voice like the sound of heaven, shaking the world.

Ancestor Crocodile, hearing this, did not become angry but laughed instead. His laughter was like thunder, causing the crimson earth to crack. Then, he looked at Jiang Xuan coldly and said, "In my life, I have only lost to Sakyamuni and been suppressed for over two thousand years. No one has ever dared to say such words to me. Your courage is astonishing!"

Jiang Xuan was very calm, but he was not careless. Ancestor Crocodile in his prime was, after all, a peerless demon saint, able to live for seven or eight thousand years. His cultivation was unfathomable. Even if he was not at his peak now, he was still superior to ordinary saints.

"Let's fight." A faint voice escaped his lips, and the world fell silent. The vast storm, the collapsing heavens and earth, seemed to freeze at this moment.

Ancestor Crocodile's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly stretched out a large hand, grabbing toward Jiang Xuan. With a "boom," the storm ceased, and only the firmament seemed to collapse. That hand traversed the heavens and earth, blotting out the sun, as if it wanted to shatter the boundless earth!

Jiang Xuan did not speak, but also extended a hand. Five-colored divine flames swirled around it, shining with five-colored divine light. At the same time, brilliant runes bloomed, transforming into a sharp claw, seemingly inscribed with the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, resonating with the rules of this universe in the darkness.

"Clang!"

Like a great bell, the void also trembled. After a brief silence, the sky was directly cut off, and the vast earth was constantly torn apart. With just a simple collision, the entire Yinghuo ancient star shattered endless earth.

"Thump!"

The violent shock was difficult for even Jiang Xuan to withstand, and he was shaken back by this palm, collapsing several high mountains. Even his body, surrounded by divine fire, showed signs of cracking.

"With just a casual palm, you cannot stop me, yet you dare to speak of slaying me?" Ancestor Crocodile said contemptuously. With a casual wave of his hand, mountains crumbled and the earth cracked. This was only because the Yinghuo ancient star was now sealed; otherwise, with his cultivation, he could turn this star into dust at any time.

Jiang Xuan, hearing this, only smiled faintly. His body shook, and his flesh bloomed with five-colored divine light, dazzling and radiant. In just a moment, he returned to his peak!

"Hmm?" Ancestor Crocodile's eyes widened. His foundation was extremely deep, but he had never seen such divine power. In just an instant, Jiang Xuan had recovered to his peak, as if he had never been injured at all.

"Boy, hand over the secret technique you just used, and I can let you leave!" Ancestor Crocodile was moved. That kind of divine power was amazing, and it even made him see the shadow of an Emperor-level technique!

"Secret technique? You are not worthy." Jiang Xuan said. What he had just used was the Hundred Days Ten Phoenix Nirvana Art from the True Phoenix precious technique. Even if he suffered a severe injury, as long as he was not dead, he could use this method to undergo a small nirvana, allowing himself to return to his peak.

Of course, this technique also had limitations. It could be used up to ten times within a hundred days. Beyond ten times, death was certain. Even a true Immortal King would be powerless!

However, Jiang Xuan only needed to use it once. The brief exchange had also given him some understanding of Ancestor Crocodile's strength. The current Ancestor Crocodile was indeed not at his peak.

Otherwise, with his peerless cultivation, that palm just now, even if it was a casual strike, would definitely have severely injured Jiang Xuan.

"Courting death!" Ancestor Crocodile scolded, his expression cold. "Once I shatter your primordial spirit and extract your memories, everything will be known!"

"Please!" Jiang Xuan spoke slowly, but his aura had already changed. His cultivation was indeed only equivalent to a Great Power in this world, but do not forget that his true form was an ultimate powerhouse that transcended the universe!

Even if his cultivation was inferior to Ancestor Crocodile, if Jiang Xuan took it seriously, relying solely on his understanding and mastery of heaven, earth, and all laws, the current Ancestor Crocodile could not threaten him, let alone kill him.

"Today, I will definitely kill you and seize all the foundations of humanity from this ant." Ancestor Crocodile said grimly. He had never seen such an arrogant creature. He had only survived one of his palms and possessed a special secret technique. Did he really think he could not be destroyed?

Moreover, he did not believe that there was a perfect technique in the world. Even Emperor scriptures had strengths and weaknesses at each realm. For example, in the Wheel Sea realm, the *Dao De Jing* was considered the best, and in the Dao Palace realm, the *Xi Huang Jing* was considered the best, and so on.

Therefore, he did not believe that there was a flawless technique in the world. The more heaven-defying it was, the greater its limitations. The special secret technique that Jiang Xuan used was the same.

At this moment, Ancestor Crocodile's black-gold armor clanged, his killing intent was like a sword, sweeping across all directions. On the entire star, it cut out ravines, and its vast demonic might was earth-shattering.

"Boom!"

Ancestor Crocodile attacked, and every casual strike was a law of heaven and earth. Now that he was truly attacking, it was even more terrifying. Even on the Yinghuo ancient star, chains of order were constantly escaping, piercing through the boundless void.

This was the seal that lay across the Yinghuo ancient star. If not for the existence of this seal, this star would have been shattered long ago by the battle between Jiang Xuan and Ancestor Crocodile.

"Sever!"

The void was boundless, and Jiang Xuan reached out and slashed across it, the heavens and earth cracking. The vast void suddenly collapsed, as if there was a void divine blade, cutting off all obstacles, and it was even invisible and intangible!

"Thump!"

A muffled sound came, and then, like the collapse of a star, the sky was crushed, and cracks appeared in the void, as if it would collapse at any time. That kind of divine might made Ye Fan and his group, who were already hiding in the Nine Dragons Coffin and watching through the gaps in the coffin lid, tremble in their hearts.

One by one, the classmates prayed for Jiang Xuan's victory with trembling voices. The only foreigner knelt on the ground and cried out to God.

The chat group was also silent, watching this live broadcast, feeling uneasy all over. Only by kneeling could they feel at ease.

"Sixth-order fighting seventh-order, what kind of monster is this guy!" Chen Yang, who was also eavesdropping, was equally parched. He knew very well the combat power of the Shrouding the Heavens world. Ancestor Crocodile was an even more peerless demon saint, and even the desolate ancient holy body in the Great Power stage could not defeat him!

But now, this suddenly emerging "Xuan Huang" was actually fighting him to a standstill, not losing out at all. This was simply beyond his expectations.

"How can I fool him?" But what followed was endless annoyance. He now had a mountain of treasures, but he had no way to obtain them.

These kinds of freakish monsters, powerful figures, were too difficult to fool.

...

Time flew by, and the Yinghuo ancient star welcomed the most intense sunshine. The brilliant light shone on the two beings who could shatter the heavens and earth with a casual blow.

"Zheng!"

A sword rang out, and a sharp divine sword was unsheathed, falling into Ancestor Crocodile's hand. This was his battle weapon, possessing peerless divine might, capable of cutting off the sky. Now, it was being unsheathed because of a Great Power.

At this time, he had fought to the point of madness, determined to kill Jiang Xuan, refine his primordial spirit, and seize his memories, to see why he had such terrifying combat power!

"Clang!"

Without hesitation, Jiang Xuan also drew his divine weapon. It was a scarlet sword, containing the divine fire of the divine phoenix, a high-level sacred object given to him by the Phoenix Clan when he broke through to the Earth Supreme realm.

Although it was not as good as Ancestor Crocodile's peerless holy armor and battle weapon, he did not intend to use this sword to fight him head-on.

"Something's strange!" Ancestor Crocodile paused. At the moment Jiang Xuan grasped the sword, his killing intent and fighting spirit vanished, and instead, he was like a peerless sword immortal with ethereal immortal energy and supreme swordsmanship.

"Sever!"

Ancestor Crocodile was decisive, slashing down, cutting off the sky. Accompanied by wailing ghosts and howling gods, a bloody storm, endless corpses emerged, and the world turned into a scene of carnage, littered with corpses.

But at this moment, Jiang Xuan also drew his sword, seemingly waving it casually, and lightly uttered two words:

"Flying Immortal!"

However, in the next moment, a rainbow of sword light escaped, and no darkness could obscure this extremely brilliant crimson sword rainbow. Within that sword rainbow, there seemed to be an unparalleled sword immortal, spanning countless stars, unleashing a sword that was brilliant and radiant, seizing all the prosperity and prosperity of the world, and severing the years and vitality of all living beings!

"Immortal!" Ancestor Crocodile's eyes were dazed. He seemed to have seen an immortal that had never existed in this world. A rainbow of sword light, as brilliant as a galaxy. In his eight thousand years of cultivation, he had never seen such an amazing sword!

Crack!

Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, endless bones, under this sword, were like ghosts under the scorching sun, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The brilliant sword rainbow illuminated the sky, and chains of order clanged, as if they were about to be cut off!

Boom!

But at this time, the scarlet divine sword in Jiang Xuan's hand also shattered, its divinity exhausted, turning into dust and scattering, leaving no trace!
