Chapter 243: The Sword Intent That Silences the Heavens and Earth!
Chapter 243: The Sword Intent That Silences the Heavens and Earth!
As the Celestial Star Heaven-Stabilizing Infinite Sword emerged, a magnificent starry sky unfolded in the heavens, capturing the attention of all cultivators within the TaiXuan Gate.
During the demon ancestor’s attack on the Northern Border, this sword formation had appeared before, but then it was only seen by the front-line cultivators. Now, nine out of ten cultivators within the TaiXuan Gate were witnessing it for the first time, and they were all stunned.
Especially for the disciples who had joined the TaiXuan Gate in the past few decades, they were left speechless.
A sword formation that could make the heavens change color—how many years of cultivation does it take to achieve such a level?
Inside the Luo Tian Pagoda Battle Array, the True Man Bi Luo was locked in by the sword intent of the Celestial Star Heaven-Stabilizing Infinite Sword. He felt the greatest pressure. The moment the starry sky appeared, he felt his magical power freeze, and the overwhelming force made him tremble with fear.
True Man Bi Luo's face turned grim, and a hint of regret surfaced in his heart.
He had assumed that the Sword Venerable Fudao was a Wandering Immortal. After all, the Sword Venerable Fudao had previously slain only Loose Immortals. Even if he, a Wandering Immortal, was not a match for the Sword Venerable Fudao, he should have been able to gauge the other’s strength.
Now, feeling the Sword Venerable Fudao’s sword intent, he recalled the insignificant feeling he had experienced ten thousand years ago.
The gap between them was immense, at least a major realm apart!
He was a Wandering Immortal, so the Sword Venerable Fudao must be...
"Heaven..." True Man Bi Luo gritted his teeth and muttered. This time, he did not call upon the heavens. He knew he could not escape and could only face the battle head-on.
After a brief silence, the TaiXuan Gate erupted in thunderous cheers.
Countless disciples of the TaiXuan Gate waved their arms in celebration, and the high-ranking cultivators on the Heaven-Repairing Platform were equally excited. Even Zuo Yi Jian, who stood beside the Heaven-Cleaving Axe, knelt down in a devout posture of worship.
Inside the Third Medicine Valley.
Over nine hundred disciples were also agitated, shouting the name of Sword Venerable Fudao.
Yao Ying saw the Sword Venerable Fudao in action for the first time, her mouth agape in disbelief.
Yang Jian was also terrified. What kind of sword formation was this?
It was too exaggerated, right?
He couldn’t help but look at Gu An, who also wore a shocked expression.
Could it be that Sword Venerable Fudao isn’t Master?
Indeed, he hadn’t felt any of his Master’s magical power being released.
"Watch carefully and see how much you can comprehend," Gu An’s voice suddenly echoed in Yang Jian’s ears, making him widen his eyes and draw a sharp breath.
Master is really Sword Venerable Fudao?
This sword formation...
How did he do it?
He didn’t even see Master make a move!
Yang Jian, who had already reached the Core Formation stage, thought he had a profound understanding of cultivation, but today his Master’s technique completely overturned his knowledge.
The Celestial Star Heaven-Stabilizing Infinite Sword hovered high above, far from the Third Medicine Valley, and no one would have thought that Sword Venerable Fudao was hiding here.
Yang Jian had assumed that Sword Venerable Fudao was up in the vast starry sky, overlooking all living beings.
At that moment, the stars in the vast starry sky began to shine brightly, one after another falling down, more and more, densely packed, creating a sense of the heavens collapsing, silencing the world.
All living beings looked up, silent as if witnessing a divine miracle!
Countless stars fell, releasing sword qi, causing the trees and mountains to shake violently, and dust to swirl away.
Inside the Inner City, Li Ya stood in a courtyard, gazing up at the Celestial Star Heaven-Stabilizing Infinite Sword, his heart pounding.
Could the TaiCang Shocking Spirit Sword reach such a level?
He turned his head to look at the divine immortal spirit on his shoulder and asked, "Can the power of Divine Spirit City block this sword?"
Block?
I almost got killed by him, and you’re asking me this?
The divine immortal spirit, sensing the sword intent in the sky, knew that the Sword Venerable Fudao was his master.
He replied, "I’m not sure."
His voice was still filled with childish innocence, contrasting sharply with his thoughts.
Li Ya didn’t think much about it and continued to watch the light show in the sky, wondering if True Man Bi Luo could withstand Sword Venerable Fudao’s sword.
...
Faced with the endless celestial star sword qi, True Man Bi Luo roared in anger, raising his staff and channeling surging magical power into two azure dragons, which spiraled with flames and gales, rushing skyward.
The dragon roars reverberated!
Everyone held their breath!
Countless celestial star sword qi descended, colliding with the two azure dragons in the sky!
The massive azure dragons, like mountain ridges, were immediately blocked, their heads shattered and dispersing into green winds sweeping across the heavens and earth.
In an instant, the two azure dragons were completely scattered by the celestial star sword qi, the power of the sword qi unstoppable!
True Man Bi Luo was bathed in the sword light, his eyes wide with fear.
As the endless celestial star sword qi descended into the Luo Tian Pagoda Battle Array, a brilliant sword light erupted, making the heavens and earth lose their color, and countless beings closed their eyes.
Unable to see, they could only hear the howling wind!
After a few breaths, the cultivators gradually regained their vision.
More and more people opened their eyes, and when they saw the scene in the sky, they were all filled with dread.
The Luo Tian Pagoda Battle Array was still intact, but the golden light at its base was fluctuating violently, on the verge of dissipating. True Man Bi Luo was kneeling, his arms still raised in the position of holding his staff, which was now only half its original length, smoking and charred. He was covered in blood, his hair disheveled, and in a state of utter disarray.
True Man Bi Luo’s body trembled, his eyes bloodshot and wide open.
The magnificent starry sky was slowly dissipating, signaling the end of the battle.
True Man Bi Luo’s heart was filled with overwhelming fear.
Fortunately, he had challenged the Sword Venerable Fudao before the Heavenly Rank Tournament. If he had come at any other time, he would surely have died.
He couldn't even withstand one move from the Sword Venerable Fudao...
He gritted his teeth and shakily stood up. Turning around, he flew toward the horizon, quickly escaping the Luotian Pagoda Battle Formation, vanishing into the sky.
When he arrived, he was arrogant and boastful, but now, as he left, he was humiliated and silent.
The heavens erupted with thunderous cheers.
"Too strong! This is the power of the Sword Venerable Fudao?"
"Who would have thought that the arrogant True Man Bile would be defeated so thoroughly?"
"If it weren't for the rules set by the Sect Leader, I think he would have been utterly destroyed."
"Of course! How many can survive when the Sword Venerable Fudao strikes?"
"I heard the Deputy Sect Leader survived. Could it be that the Deputy Sect Leader is also a celestial being?"
The disciples of the TaiXuan Gate mocked True Man Bile mercilessly, praising the might of the Sword Venerable Fudao. Disciples from other sects were also elated, but the Great Cultivators preparing for the Heavenly Rank Tournament grew tense.
After this battle, they dared not act recklessly. The sword intent they felt just now left them with no desire to fight!
The morale of the TaiXuan Gate soared, and the entire sect was as lively as during the Spring Festival, filled with joy and excitement.
Once the sword intent illusion in the sky completely dissipated, the Luotian Pagoda Battle Formation returned to its complete form.
"The first match of the Heavenly Rank Tournament: Ancestor Zhou of the Cangtian Sect versus Gu Xuan of the TaiXuan Gate!"
Lu Baitian's voice rang out again, this time with a tone full of dominance, as if he himself were the Sword Venerable Fudao.
As he spoke, Ancestor Zhou and Gu Xuan both flew into the formation. Ancestor Zhou's expression was complex, while Gu Xuan was brimming with confidence. They exchanged a few words, and from their lip movements, it seemed that Gu Xuan was mocking the Zhou family's decision.
Inside the Third Medicine Valley.
Gu An stood up and said, "Keep watching. I'll go back to my room to get something."
Anxin and Xiaochuan nodded, while Youying was still immersed in the might of the Sword Venerable Fudao.
Yang Jian watched Gu An's departing figure, his mind filled with speculation.
He didn't care about True Man Bile's fate and began recalling the power of the Boundless Heaven-Suppressing Sword.
He had always thought that wielding the Way of the Sword required a sword, but his Master didn't even draw one, let alone make a move. Just by focusing his mind, he created a sword formation?
Incredible!
Yang Jian felt a surge of passion in his chest.
One day, he would create such a divine technique!
...
True Man Bile, covered in blood, quickly flew out of the continent. His heart was heavy, fearing that the Sword Venerable Fudao might pursue him.
His eyes were filled with rage.
"Damn the Seven Star Spirit Realm! The intelligence was so inaccurate. No wonder they sent me, they were using me as cannon fodder. How hateful!"
True Man Bile gritted his teeth, hating the Seven Star Spirit Realm.
He took out a pill and swallowed it quickly, then increased his speed.
As he passed a small island, a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder. His face changed drastically, and before he could react, an overwhelming force pressed down, causing his body to plummet.
Boom!
The forest deep within the island was shaken, and the entire island trembled. The surrounding sea surged.
As the dust settled, the trees fell, revealing a large crater.
Bathed in sunlight, True Man Bile knelt in the crater, a dark purple demonic hand on his shoulder. Looking back, he saw Gu An in his Nine Poles Yin-Yang Body state.
True Man Bile was terrified. He struggled to turn around, his pupils dilating.
He couldn't stand up, and even his spirit couldn't escape. At that moment, he was like a mortal, completely powerless.
His fear reached its peak, and despair enveloped his heart.
"Sword Venerable... I..."
True Man Bile trembled, but before he could finish his sentence, a terrifying divine consciousness surged into his mind, causing his eyes to lose their light.
The sea breeze blew, scattering the nearby dust and fluttering True Man Bile's torn robes.
Gu An used the Soul Capturing Technique to search True Man Bile's memories.
After a short while, he withdrew his divine consciousness, and his right palm ignited with the Three Pure Ones' True Fire, quickly engulfing True Man Bile.
Even if True Man Bile was just a pawn, daring to challenge him meant death.
If Gu An had not been a match for True Man Bile today, he would have been the one to die.
An ancient saying from his past life came to mind: mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.
Gu An took True Man Bile's storage ring and began thinking about the Seven Star Spirit Realm.
The one who had sent True Man Bile to test the Sword Venerable Fudao was the Seven Star Spirit Realm.
However, in True Man Bile's memories, he had never seen the true form of the Seven Star Spirit Realm cultivator. A ghost had come to negotiate with him.
As long as True Man Bile agreed, the Seven Star Spirit Realm would grant him the opportunity to listen to a lecture after the task was completed.
What kind of lecture, the memory did not specify, but from True Man Bile's excited expression, it must have been significant.
Could it be a lecture from a celestial being?
Does the Seven Star Spirit Realm have an Immortal of Freedom?
Gu An fell into deep thought. Regardless, after today, the Seven Star Spirit Realm would be thoroughly focused on the Sword Venerable Fudao.
He needed to find a way to test the depth of the Seven Star Spirit Realm's strength.
If they didn't have an Immortal of Freedom, then he would destroy them!
Gu An's heart filled with killing intent. He couldn't feel at ease until the Seven Star Spirit Realm was eradicated.
