Chapter 186: First Clash with Sword Pavilion
Chapter 186: First Clash with Sword Pavilion
Sword qi soared into the heavens above the Starry Sea, sweeping the skies clean like jade, stretching endlessly into the horizon. The fusion of sea and sky created a breathtaking panorama.
"Unfortunately, someone insists on ruining the view."
Lv Yang sighed, turning toward the sword-browed youth glaring at him. "Fellow cultivator, you've been chasing me this whole way. May I know your name?"
"Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion—Sky Punishment!"
Ye Xingfeng made no attempt to hide his identity. Sword Pavilion disciples took pride in their heritage, never bothering with secrecy. After all, even the Primordial Sacred Sect stood on equal footing with Sword Pavilion.
While the Dao Court and Pure Land sects merely went through the motions during holy wars, Sword Pavilion had always charged headlong into battle against the Holy Sect, locked in a bitter feud that needed no explanation.
Lv Yang sighed again. "I’ve only been cultivating for a century; I’ve never killed anyone from Sword Pavilion. We have no enmity between us, do we?"
Ye Xingfeng shook his head. "No enmity, but karmic retribution. You inherited Wugui Sect’s legacy and joined Jiangbei Demonic Sect’s wickedness. This is evil karma. Today, I’m here to end you—a consequence of your own actions, a trial you’ve brought upon yourself."
"Typical Sword Pavilion rhetoric."
Lv Yang recalled Yun Miaozhen he’d met before. He wasn’t surprised. If Sword Pavilion disciples were already this unhinged at the Refining Qi stage, it made sense their True Man experts would be even more extreme.
"Utter shamelessness!"
Behind Lv Yang, Yanluo Patriarch trembled with rage, remembering the words spoken a millennium ago by the Golden Core Sovereign who’d annihilated Wugui Sect in one sword strike:
"You were born from the demonic path yet cling to the heavens—this is evil karma. Today, I slay you to uphold justice. Since your cultivation was hard-won, this act grants you a karmic connection to Sword Pavilion. After reincarnation, I shall guide you into our sect for cultivation."
The message was clear:
Though I slaughter your entire lineage, it’s for your own good. Your death becomes a blessing, granting you the chance to join Sword Pavilion in your next life.
Was this the speech of a human?
The thought of being reborn, powerless to break prenatal amnesia, only to join the sect that destroyed his family—turning his killers into mentors—drove Yanluo Patriarch to seething rage.
Wasn’t this why he’d clung to survival in this secret realm for so long? Even if his soul shattered, he’d rather die than become Sword Pavilion’s disciple.
Killing intent surged in his heart, yet he steadied himself, turning to Lv Yang. "He cultivates the Great Unity Celestial Vanguard Sword Manual, forging a Golden Core Taiyi Dao Foundation. He must’ve already mastered a divine ability—his cultivation surpasses yours."
"Moreover, sword cultivators excel in combat. For now, avoid direct confrontation."
Yanluo’s tone remained calm. Lv Yang was Wugui Sect’s last hope; his personal vendetta paled in comparison.
Yet the next moment—
"Ridiculous! Should I retreat?" Lv Yang gripped Avici Sword, smirking coldly. "Today, it’s he who should fear my blade!"
Swish!
Before the words faded, Avici Sword erupted in his hand. A crimson arc slashed toward Ye Xingfeng, fully charged—a strike that split the four seas in one sweep.
"Perfect!"
Ye Xingfeng’s eyes lit with joy. He summoned a sword core, swirling with spiritual energy, spinning rapidly to split into hundreds of razor-sharp sword qi strands.
They fanned out like a peacock’s tail, spilling across Avici’s crimson light like mercury flooding the earth. Each qi thread moved like a deer escaping a snare—seemingly random yet pinpoint precise, targeting Avici’s weakest points.
Crack!
In moments, Lv Yang’s charged crimson arc shattered under the onslaught. The sword qi coalesced again into Ye Xingfeng’s original sword core—his life-bound flying sword.
Among Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion’s True Monarch lineage, most forged such weapons from the Refining Qi stage, using rare treasures to refine them. Sword Pavilion even developed a secret art to fuse the sword into one’s Dao Foundation during Foundation Building. This increased Foundation Building success rates by ten percent and allowed the sword to function as a divine ability post-cultivation—the better the sword, the greater its power.
Take Ye Xingfeng’s Star River Sword Core.
Forged from Heavenly River Star Sand, blended with five rare metals, and infused with Celestial Metal Qi from the Heavenly Chapter by a True Monarch himself—this was a top-tier spirit treasure, containing three divine essences: Pierce Obstruction, Sever Divine Consciousness, and Annihilate Divine Ability—all devastating martial techniques.
Pierce Obstruction shattered defenses. Sever Divine Consciousness cut through spiritual souls. Annihilate Divine Ability destroyed Qi-based techniques. Combined with sword intent at its peak, this was cultivators’ ultimate dream: One Strike Shatters Ten Thousand Techniques.
Boom!
Ye Xingfeng merged with his sword core, cleaving forward. Sword qi roared like thunder, reaching Lv Yang in an instant!
The sheer sharpness forced Lv Yang to squint.
On that blade’s surface, light flickered—a tiny white spot that seemed insignificant at first glance, yet staring into it felt like drowning in an abyss.
Sword intent locked on, escape impossible!
He fought like a lion hunting a rabbit—using full strength. As a Golden Core disciple, his strike combined all his divine abilities:
Life-Bound Divine Ability – Tenfang Taiyi Divine Blade!
Innate Divine Ability – Master of War!
Lv Yang’s Ultimate Heaven Instrument whirred in his brow, opening his divine eye. In a flash, he analyzed Ye Xingfeng’s techniques.
The overwhelming sword intent sent sharp pain through his forehead.
His opponent’s abilities were diametrically opposed to his own.
Tenfang Taiyi Divine Blade had four mysteries, each a straightforward enhancement boosting his sword core. The Master of War innate ability similarly amplified weapon power. Combined, their strength reached absurd levels!
Experience proved raw power worked. Wu Cang’s failure wasn’t the technique’s fault—it was his lack of strength. Ye Xingfeng’s blade could sever any divine ability, any karmic retribution, with a single strike!
No subtlety—just overwhelming force.
Under such power, he needed no complex maneuvers. Draw sword, slash, and conquer all!
"Unbelievable strength… truly formidable."
Lv Yang muttered, then hurled Embrace Mountain.
Instantly, a flood of dark light slammed onto Ye Xingfeng’s sword qi, sealing the Annihilate Divine Ability essence designed to neutralize techniques.
Though Ye Xingfeng’s essence rivaled divine abilities through cultivation, Embrace Mountain had dual void-form and solid-form transformations. Now manifesting as void, the sword qi couldn’t touch it—it simply crushed down unimpeded.
Boom!
Ye Xingfeng’s aura plummeted. His sword light dimmed, still sharp but no longer the peerless "One Strike Shatters Ten Thousand Techniques."
Almost simultaneously, Lv Yang’s fingers flickered with radiant energy.
Determine Kinship!
"Goodbye."
Before Ye Xingfeng could react, the world tilted. When he steadied himself, Lv Yang had vanished—ten thousand miles away.
