Chapter 365: Sword Realm's Opening
Chapter 365: Sword Realm's Opening
A flying sword appeared in Gong Fei Yun's hand.
This sword was pure white, ethereal, and imbued with endless sharpness, truly a fourth-rank middle-grade spirit treasure.
"The sword's name is 'Celestial Heaven Sword', forged from celestial immortal gold. It weighs nine hundred and sixty-two pounds and is three feet eight inches long..."
He performed an ancient ritual, leaving nothing to chance.
"The name of this sword is 'Rust Sword'!"
A faint shadow of the Rust Sword appeared in Fang Xing's hand, and he lightly tapped it, saying, "Remember, today, I will sever your 'Celestial Heaven Sword' with this piece of broken copper and rust!"
"What ambition!"
Gong Fei Yun thrust his sword forward.
His sword light was pure white, and his technique was the Flying Immortal Sword, ethereal and majestic, yet indescribable!
The late-stage Nascent Soul's power surged towards him.
As a Grand Sword Master, he could defeat other Grand Sword Masters with relative ease, but killing them was a different matter.
However, when facing a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he was confident in his ability to capture them with ease.
In that instant, a golden sword light slashed towards Gong Fei Yun.
A silver talisman in his chest ignited on its own, transforming into a spherical light shield with countless ancient talismans flashing on its surface, blocking the sword strike.
"Did I get hit by his sword?"
"So fast... Are you at the late-stage Nascent Soul?"
Gong Fei Yun instantly retreated, looking around.
He had already refined countless sword energies, forming a defensive barrier around him.
But under the extreme speed of the previous sword strike, they were all shattered, and only the sect's fifth-rank talisman saved his life.
At this moment, Fang Xing's power surged, reaching the late-stage Nascent Soul level.
"No wonder..."
Gong Fei Yun narrowed his eyes and suddenly laughed, "I understand now. The array spirit intentionally set us up for a life-and-death battle, like nurturing a Gu, to cultivate a Gu King!"
"We are both beneficiaries of the Yuan Shen Sword Sect's legacy... In the future cultivation world, without sufficient talent and cultivation, it's difficult to shoulder heavy responsibilities."
"Even Taibai can't do it; he doesn't have a Transcendent Soul backing!"
"Only one of us can fully inherit the Yuan Shen Sword Sect!"
As their divine senses communicated, the 'Celestial Heaven Sword's' sword path changed again, carrying a sense of ethereal vagueness.
"Void?"
"It seems that in the Ethereal Immortal Palace, you've also learned quite a bit."
The Rust Sword in Fang Xing's hand casually struck out, and the two flying swords clashed, with infinite sword energies overflowing.
Suddenly!
Gong Fei Yun's heavenly spirit flashed, and his Nascent Soul emerged, holding a pure white flying sword, piercing through the void, and his Nascent Soul teleported, riding the sword!
A high-level sword cultivator's life-bound flying sword merged with his Golden Elixir and Nascent Soul.
At this moment, it seemed he was determined to fight to the death.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Around Fang Xing, countless Nascent Soul shadows flickered, all breaking through the void with a single sword strike!
'Using the Nascent Soul to ride the sword is dangerous, but the speed of the sword is faster than my Golden Sword lineage.'
Fang Xing touched his head, and the Ten Thousand Dharma Demonic Infants appeared, holding the Azure Sun Demon Lamp, from which he blew out nine purple-azure fire dragons, enveloping the surroundings.
"So, you didn't reach the Grand Sword Master level through your own cultivation but by refining a second Nascent Soul at the late-stage Nascent Soul level."
Gong Fei Yun's sword infant let out a cold laugh, and his originally stagnant physical body also moved.
"Hmm? An external body incarnation? You've also refined an external body incarnation to control your physical body?"
Fang Xing understood.
Indeed, cultivators who could advance to the Grand Sword Master level had unique methods.
Gong Fei Yun seemed to intentionally neglect his physical body, but in reality, he had hidden an external body incarnation.
If Fang Xing approached to destroy his physical body, he might fall into a trap!
"You guessed right, but what of it?"
Gong Fei Yun's physical body revealed a hint of an eerie smile, and a silver-colored small banner appeared in his hand.
"Two World Banner? No... It should be just an imitation."
Fang Xing had also heard of the Ethereal Immortal Palace's renowned treasure.
"Although it's an imitation, it's still sufficient. Quick!"
Gong Fei Yun's external body incarnation formed hand seals, and a burst of silver light shot towards Fang Xing.
Fang Xing's eyebrows furrowed, and his second Nascent Soul controlled the Azure Sun Shield, blocking it.
Buzz!
The silver light flashed, and both Fang Xing's Ten Thousand Dharma Demonic Infants and Gong Fei Yun's external body incarnation disappeared!
"Transported into a special void space? Only when one side dies can the other leave?"
Fang Xing's divine sense stirred, and his power returned to the mid-stage Nascent Soul level, revealing Gong Fei Yun's Nascent Soul in front of him.
"Now... it's just you and me."
A delicate voice entered Fang Xing's ears.
Currently, Gong Fei Yun still had his late-stage Nascent Soul, which was nearly invincible in battle, except for being more susceptible to injuries.
But Fang Xing only had mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation and his Rust Sword!
"Die!"
Gong Fei Yun's Nascent Soul swung out a sword.
This sword was like a heavenly immortal, drawing upon the power of heaven and earth, with a force like ten thousand galloping horses!
He was prepared to crush Fang Xing with his upright power and sword techniques.
Fang Xing was slightly speechless. He thrust out his Rust Sword.
This sword strike left only a white line.
But in the next instant, the white line shattered the sword's force, which had seemed like ten thousand galloping horses.
No matter how many spells or treasures there were, they would all submit under this sword.
"One Sword Penetrating All Dharmas?"
Gong Fei Yun's Nascent Soul was filled with shock and disbelief.
He was a rare talent in the Flying Immortal lineage, already a late-stage Nascent Soul Grand Sword Master, yet he hadn't comprehended the peak of the human sword path.
Why would a mere Mid-stage Nascent Soul have an epiphany?
Whoosh!
Fang Xing's sword light was like a withering force, shattering the grand dao of heaven and earth, and then repeatedly slaying the 'Celestial Heaven Sword' above.
A crack immediately appeared on the body of the Spirit Treasure Flying Sword, emitting a mournful cry.
Gong Fei Yun's Nascent Soul instantly became unstable and was pierced through the heart by the Rust Sword.
His expression was extremely peculiar, filled with both disbelief and relief: "Perhaps... I was wrong... You are the true heir of the Essence Spirit Sword Sect!"
The tiny Nascent Soul smiled bitterly, and in an instant, it exploded into countless points of light.
Dense spiritual energy swept across the entire area.
Then, in the void, a flash of silver light appeared, and the Ten Thousand Dharma Demonic Infant emerged, holding a small silver banner in his hand.
"Since my main body has died, my external body incarnation also dissipates... So, you win?"
Fang Xing collected the small banner and muttered to himself.
Unlike the second Nascent Soul, which always wanted to devour the main body.
The external body incarnations of righteous cultivators have great abilities, and although their cultivation is slightly inferior to the second Nascent Soul, they would never betray the main body.
Even when the main body dies, the remaining external body incarnations will also dissipate.
...
Essence Spirit Sword Sect.
Mountain Gate.
"Heaven Blocking Palm, Five Finger Mountain!"
Fang Xing's main body unleashed both palms, sending the Near Fifth Rank Corpse Puppet flying far away.
Then, a fiery giant palm descended from the sky.
— Immortal Martial Unified Grasp!
The Near Fifth Rank Corpse struggled fiercely, but no matter what, it couldn't escape from his palm.
"After all, it's not a true Fifth Rank Corpse Puppet!"
...
The Array Spirit glanced back and suddenly froze: "Is he dead?"
"It's good that he's dead... Although I'm bound by the sect's rules and can't directly punish the Flying Immortal Lineage who holds the Mystic Iron Sword Token, those who dare to betray the sect must pay the price..."
His fingertips moved as if plucking the strings of a zither, manipulating the countless Spirit Treasure Flying Swords that filled the heavens and earth.
Whoosh, whoosh!
At this moment, among the numerous Spirit Treasure Flying Swords, the three Fifth Rank Divine Essence Flying Swords suddenly moved!
One of the swords, with an ancient design and a dragon's mouth, transformed into a purple lightning bolt and abruptly pierced through Meng Old Devil's thousand-foot-tall demonic body's chest!
"Roar!"
Meng Old Devil roared towards the sky, waving his only remaining demonic arm.
His five arms had already been severed one by one during the previous battle by the Feathers Heavenly Venerable, Shenfu Zunzhe, Qin Xianzi, and other Divine Transformation Cultivators.
"Please, fellow cultivator, depart on your journey."
Feathers Heavenly Venerable raised the Nine Profound Demonslaying Sword, surrounded by numerous strange talismans, and slashed out with his sword!
Boom!
A pure white light enveloped Meng Old Devil.
The thousand-foot-tall demonic body quickly dissipated, followed by Meng Old Devil's body...
"This time... you won."
Meng Old Devil's demonic body continued to dissipate, leaving only a voice echoing back and forth in the void.
In the end, it completely turned into nothingness, leaving behind only a Mystic Iron Sword Token.
"Hmm? It's not Meng Old Devil's main body, but his second Divine Soul?"
Shenfu Zunzhe was surprised: "Did he even deceive me?"
"What a pity... we only killed one Divine Soul."
The Array Spirit cursed: "These old devils are always so cautious."
After cursing, he glanced suspiciously at Feathers Heavenly Venerable and the other Divine Transformation Cultivators.
'These Divine Transformation Cultivators, each one of them has a low bottom line for their pursuit of ascension and eternal life... No, they have no bottom line at all... Therefore, they are completely untrustworthy. Perhaps even the leader of the righteous path, with their lifespan nearing its end, would willingly fall into demonic ways...'
'This time, killing Meng Old Devil was too smooth...'
The Array Spirit was somewhat worried.
"Array Spirit, now that all five Mystic Iron Sword Tokens have been gathered, can we open the Sword Realm?"
Feathers Heavenly Venerable's divine perception moved, and the Mystic Iron Sword Tokens flew into the Array Spirit's hand.
"Of course we can... But remember our agreement. We must kill that Ancient Demon!"
The Array Spirit spoke.
"Of course... We have all sworn a Divine Soul Oath."
Shenfu Zunzhe and the others nodded repeatedly.
"Never mind."
The Array Spirit waved his hand, and a flash of silver light passed by.
When they reappeared, everyone had arrived at the edge of a lake.
Fang Xing's cultivation clone had also been moved here, his face filled with astonishment and uncertainty. He then ran towards his main body.
"Hmm? Where's Fei Yun?"
Feathers Heavenly Venerable exclaimed in anger, his gaze fixed on Fang Xing's cultivation clone.
"Oh... The heir of the Flying Immortal Lineage and the heir of the Golden Sword Lineage fought a fair battle on the Life and Death Platform, and then died."
The Array Spirit exclaimed, then said, "However, according to the rules of the Essence Spirit Sword Sect, this is reasonable. On the Life and Death Platform, all grudges are settled."
Feathers Heavenly Venerable's gaze swept over Fang Xing and then turned to Fang Xing's main body: "Good, very good... Array Spirit, we can begin."
'Hehe, as expected of an old monster who has lived for over a thousand years, his emotions are indeed indifferent... Oh, it seems I've lived longer than you, but... I don't know if it counts as living...'
The Array Spirit's thoughts were filled with sarcasm. He waved his hand slightly, and the five Mystic Iron Sword Tokens rose into the sky, assembling in mid-air to form a five-cornered iron plate.
Suddenly, a brilliant light burst forth from the iron plate, transforming into numerous strange golden and silver talismans, which sank into the void.
Countless talismans condensed, penetrating deep into the void, as if forming a door.
The door slowly opened, allowing everyone's divine perception to see the countless wondrous flowers and strange herbs, as well as the island in the center of the lake, and the Bronze Vast Cauldron...
The third update will be a little later.
