Chapter 374: Divine Cataclysm! Single-handedly Overturning the Great Wilderness Sword Palace! (Part 2)
This sword, the Sun and Moon Stars, seemed to have endured an infinite and long period of time, invaded by the power of time, and ceased to exist.
"The Wasteland Sword Dao?"
Threeleaf realized.
"A powerful Sword Dao, containing astonishing time power. In an instant, it's like a vast expanse of time has passed."
"My apologies."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it seemed like he was very impressive, but he knew his own situation.
The Wasteland Sword Dao was already his last resort.
Other Sword Daos and Sword Arts...
Were not weak, but for him, the strongest was this Wasteland Sword Dao.
If even the Wasteland Sword Dao couldn't hold out...
Then even he would have to admit defeat.
"But I have a third sword." Threeleaf became more excited.
"?"
The Fifth Sword was startled, then glared, "You're using that trick again?"
"Master, don't believe it!"
"During the Prodigy Tournament, it claimed to have a third sword and deceived Long Ao Jiao. But later, it admitted that it hadn't created the third sword and was just scaring Long Ao Jiao."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master: "..."
There's such a thing?!
Just as he was about to investigate further.
Threeleaf continued, "Indeed, at that time, my third sword wasn't perfected."
"But thanks to the feeding of swords by the three elders of the Sword Palace, my sword cultivation has improved. So, the third sword... is now complete."
"Please instruct me, Sword Master."
"The Third Sword."
"Divine Cataclysm!"
Everyone's eyebrows twitched.
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master's eyebrows also furrowed, "How can a person become the calamity of the gods?"
The Elder Grandmaster whispered, "Sword Master, it's not a person, it's a plant."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master: "!!!"
Dmn, if you don't speak, people will think you're mute.
This is ridiculous!
But Threeleaf didn't give them a chance to continue chatting.
It seemed like there was no movement, but the Desolate Heaven Sword Master's expression changed instantly, and he felt as if he had suddenly entered another world!
This world had no 'color', like a world of ink paintings.
Within this world, there were countless swords of various shapes and styles.
These swords were formed by infinite sword intent and various Sword Daos.
In an instant, they launched a fierce attack on the Desolate Heaven Sword Master.
He instinctively wanted to counterattack and draw his sword.
But he discovered...
His sword was gone!
"That's not right!"
"..."
"Psychic World?"
"This is..."
"The purest Sword Dao and Sword Intent."
"It has comprehended the Sword Dao to such a realm?"
"It's truly... astonishing."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master fought back, but as he resisted the infinite sword intent, he felt a chill down his spine, "I was wrong. I made a mistake that was too absurd."
"The so-called Divine Cataclysm is not the calamity of countless gods."
"But..."
"It's a sword targeting the divine soul. Under this sword, countless divine souls are extinguished!"
"What a terrifying sword, pushing human power to its limits!"
"With this sword, all other swords submit!"
"Outside, there's no sign of sword clashes, but in reality, it's far more dangerous than sword clashes or the earlier Sun and Moon Stars..."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master's heart trembled.
He pushed his Sword Dao to the limit, and the Wasteland Sword Dao had exhausted its power.
Although he continuously destroyed various sword intents and Sword Daos, he couldn't gain any advantage.
In the end, he was suppressed and at a disadvantage.
...
Outside.
A person and a plant stood facing each other, seemingly motionless.
They just stood there, gazing at each other.
If you looked closely, you'd see that the Desolate Heaven Sword Master's eyes were vacant.
"What's this?!"
The Fifth Sword suddenly realized, "Could it be...!"
He held his breath, "A pure sword intent battle?!"
"Exactly." The Second Elder was flustered.
A pure sword intent battle, where the sword intent itself was the focus, was incredibly dangerous.
The Most Perilous!
Damage to the Divine Soul is far more difficult to recover from than physical injuries, and even a moment of carelessness can lead to a lifelong inability to heal.
A clash of Sword Intent is even more likely to make the defeated party question their path and shatter their Dao Heart!
"This Sword Three..."
"It's so dangerous, Threeleaf's killing intent is a bit too heavy."
"..."
"..."
"The Divine Cataclysm?"
"It did give me a scare."
Within the Moon Embrace Palace, Lin Fan, who was observing through the Eightfold Mirror Technique, sighed softly.
He had indeed heard of the name Divine Cataclysm, but not from a novel; it was from a puppet show.
It was a Sword Art of a terrifying existence far beyond the realm of the ethereal.
Of course, they were not strictly from the same world, so a direct comparison was not possible, but in terms of prestige, it was far beyond the ethereal.
This Sword...
It had even clashed with the incarnation of the Abandon Heaven Emperor.
However, it seemed that Threeleaf's Divine Cataclysm was not the same as the one from the puppet show.
"This feeling... it's more like an upgraded and modified version based on my half-completed Sword Twelve."
"A pure clash of Sword Intent is dangerous, yet it's also melancholy and powerful."
"Then..."
"Desolate Heaven Sword Master, can you withstand this sword?"
"..."
...
Boom!
In the Desolate Heaven Sword Master's mind, it was as if a thunderclap had just sounded.
"Hmmph!"
He couldn't help but grunt.
His body, which had been as still as a sculpture, suddenly hunched over, and he unconsciously took half a step back, with two streaks of nosebleed following.
"..."
Threeleaf's leaves swayed as she spoke softly, "I yield."
"What a Divine Cataclysm!"
"What a Threeleaf!"
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master exclaimed.
In the end, he was defeated.
Even with all his means exhausted and his Sword Dao pushed to the extreme, he still couldn't block this Divine Cataclysm.
He had to admit that in the realm of pure Sword Dao and Sword Intent, Threeleaf had surpassed him.
She had become an existence that even he had to look up to.
"I concede."
Boom!
With these words, everyone present in the Great Wilderness Sword Palace was shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. No one wanted to believe, nor could they accept, that this was the truth.
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master was known as the number one Sword Dao practitioner in the Immortal Martial Continent!
How could he be defeated?
And by a mere weed?
"If I didn't suppress my cultivation, I wouldn't be your match," Threeleaf responded.
"Are you insulting me?"
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master laughed, "I'm an elder, many tens of thousands of years older than you. I've even sealed my cultivation at the Ninth Stage Apex and suppressed it for many years, all in pursuit of a more extreme Sword Dao."
"To spar with a junior like you, who's not even a hundred years old, is already bullying the weak. And you want me to fight without suppressing my cultivation, giving it my all, and risking life and death?"
"As a Sword Cultivator, I still have my pride."
"Our Sword Cultivator's Integrity doesn't allow for such a thing."
Threeleaf said no more, only nodding, "The Sword Master is magnanimous."
"Is there anyone else willing to offer guidance?"
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master shook his head, "You've won."
Are there any other experts in the Sword Palace?
There are!
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master was certain of this.
But there was no real need.
He had already revealed his trump cards for the sake of sparring...
Moreover, even if he invited those few people, the odds of winning were slim.
Instead, there was a chance that after the spar, Threeleaf would learn their Sword Dao as well, leaving them at a disadvantage.
This wasn't the Desolate Heaven Sword Master scaring himself; during the intense clash of Sword Intent, he discovered that Threeleaf had also condensed a Wasteland Sword Dao seed!
Although it was only in its infancy, it was enough to prove the point.
It should be known that even the Desolate Heaven Sword Master himself only managed to touch the threshold after entering the Ninth Stage, and it took him many years of arduous cultivation.
After that, he sealed his cultivation and spent tens of thousands of years to cultivate the Wasteland Sword Dao to its current level.
But Threeleaf?
After just a few brief exchanges, she had already grasped the basics of the Wasteland Sword Dao.
If given more time and allowed to spar with other strong cultivators in the Sword Palace, wouldn't the entire Great Wilderness Sword Palace be devoured and stripped clean?
Only a fool would think otherwise.
Although the Desolate Heaven Sword Master could afford to lose, and he did possess the integrity of a Sword Cultivator, it didn't mean he was selfless!
Who wouldn't want to keep a good thing for themselves instead of handing it over to others? He couldn't do it.
"Sword Master!"
The Elder Grandmaster wanted to persuade him further.
But the Desolate Heaven Sword Master shook his head, "No more words, my decision is made."
"You won this spar."
"We will honor our bet."
"You may choose any Elder to teach at the Moon Embrace Palace."
"!"
All the Elders' faces changed slightly, and they quietly retreated.
At this moment, their emotions were turbulent and difficult to calm.
The renowned Desolate Heaven Sword Master had been defeated by a mere weed! How could they not feel humiliated?
And now, they had to choose an Elder to teach at the Moon Embrace Palace? No one wanted to go!
The Sword Palace was a holy land for the Sword Dao, and any Sword Cultivator would benefit greatly from staying there. But the Moon Embrace Palace?
Did it have the same deep Sword Dao foundation? The environment was incomparable. Even the Primordial Spirit Qi, a fundamental aspect, was worlds apart.
Threeleaf's victory was already embarrassing enough, but if word got out, everyone would lose face. If they were also chosen to teach at the Moon Embrace Palace...
They might as well throw away their dignity if they ever met acquaintances again.
Therefore, they quietly retreated, keeping their heads down to avoid eye contact with Threeleaf, fearing they might be chosen.
Even though Threeleaf didn't have eyes.
"However..."
Before Threeleaf could make a selection, the Desolate Heaven Sword Master spoke again, "This time, you were the winner of the challenge, and we, the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, acknowledge this."
"The wager will be honored."
"But there's one thing."
He said with a hint of embarrassment, "After all, the Great Wilderness Sword Palace is a sacred land of the Sword Dao. If news of this battle gets out, it would be somewhat embarrassing."
"Could you please..."
"I'm leaving."
Threeleaf spoke up, "Reputation doesn't matter to me, so I can assure you that I won't spread the word outside."
"But in return, I also need the Sword Master to help me with one small matter."
"..."
"Okay!"
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master agreed with a smile.
The other Great Wilderness Sword Palace disciples and elders present also breathed a sigh of relief.
Although losing was humiliating, at least it wouldn't be widely publicized... at least it wouldn't become common knowledge.
That would have been truly embarrassing.
"As for the candidate..."
"Then it will be Elder Chen An." Threeleaf chose Chen An.
"Chen An?"
Everyone was taken aback.
Chen An was the team leader during the Prodigy Grand Tournament, and he was also the first elder to spar with Threeleaf earlier. His true cultivation level was the eighth level of the Ninth Stage, and his Sword Dao accomplishments were among the top even within the Sword Palace.
But...
Why did he choose Chen An? Some of the elders felt a twinge of dissatisfaction.
They were afraid of being chosen.
But...
Why choose someone who isn't here instead of me? Is he looking down on me?
Damn it!
However...
No one spoke up.
Although they felt a bit displeased, they knew that going to the Moon Embrace Palace would be even more difficult.
"Then it's Elder Chen An." The Elder Grandmaster directly made the decision.
Although they didn't know why Threeleaf chose Chen An instead of himself, it was a good thing for him! Why hesitate?
"I'll leave it to you."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master nodded, "Soon, I'll arrange for him to go. Rest assured, we in the Sword Palace keep our word."
"After he arrives at the Moon Embrace Palace, he will wholeheartedly teach the Sword Cultivators there."
"I naturally believe that."
Threeleaf expressed his agreement.
Although they had a dispute with the Great Wilderness Sword Palace, it wasn't a hostile conflict. In fact, there was even a sense of mutual respect between them.
At least, when it came to the Sword Dao.
And although not everyone in the Great Wilderness Sword Palace was as exceptional as Long Ao Jiao, there were still many who possessed the Sword Cultivator's Wind Bone.
Only those with the same cultivation path would truly understand.
"So, what is your request?"
After confirming the candidate, the Desolate Heaven Sword Master asked Threeleaf about his request.
Threeleaf fell silent for a moment.
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master instantly understood.
"You all can leave now."
"As for today's battle..."
Threeleaf continued, "Just announce it as a draw to the outside world."
"Very well."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master smiled and nodded.
The rest of the people present obeyed and left.
Soon, only one person and one plant remained in the Sword Palace.
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master even waved his hand to cast a soundproof barrier, "Now that only you and I are here, feel free to speak your mind."
"I want to borrow a path." Threeleaf spoke bluntly.
"?"
"Borrow a path?" The Desolate Heaven Sword Master was taken aback.
"Yes."
He received an affirmative response.
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master's expression gradually turned serious.
He wasn't a fool; borrowing a path...
Naturally, it couldn't be as simple as just passing through the Great Wilderness Sword Palace.
If it were that easy, why go through all this trouble, even personally discussing it with him?
So...
So, this borrowing a path actually meant...
"Where did you hear about this?" The Desolate Heaven Sword Master believed he had kept this information tightly under wraps.
He never imagined that Threeleaf would find out about it.
"It's calling out to me."
Threeleaf remained calm, "The Sword Qi Great Wall is calling out."
"..."
"The Sword Qi Great Wall is calling out?!"
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master's heart skipped a beat, suddenly considering a possibility.
Threeleaf didn't seem to be lying! Combined with its terrifying talent and strength...
Could it be that the Sword Qi Great Wall had secretly contacted Threeleaf multiple times and provided guidance, allowing Threeleaf to achieve such an incredible level of Sword Dao at such a young age?! The truth might be hard to discern.
But...
It was highly likely!
"No wonder."
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master believed he had uncovered the truth, "So that's how it is."
"No wonder your talent is so astonishing, so powerful that it makes others despair. It turns out you are a chosen one nurtured by the Sword Qi Great Wall. Our loss is justified."
It would be a lie to say that he had no thoughts after the defeat, but accepting it didn't mean he wasn't affected.
But at this moment, the Desolate Heaven Sword Master suddenly felt that there wasn't a problem at all.
Ah, no, Threeleaf was the one chosen by the Sword Qi Great Wall. Overturning the Great Wilderness Sword Palace was only natural!
If it couldn't be overturned, that would be strange.
Being valued and nurtured by the Sword Qi Great Wall?
Threeleaf: "..."
Although he was speechless, he didn't explain.
This misunderstanding seemed quite favorable.
Perhaps it would be more beneficial for his 'borrowing a path'.
"I agree to your request."
"I'll let you borrow the path."
As expected.
After his initial astonishment, the Heaven's Pride Sword Master readily agreed.
In his current view, although the Sword Qi Great Wall was highly secretive and opening a passage came at a significant cost, since Threeleaf was a chosen one, he had no reason to stop him.
It was only right to 'open the door' and let it 'borrow the path'.
"When will you be going?"
"The sooner, the better."
"Why the rush?"
The Desolate Heaven Sword Master frowned slightly, "Follow me."
"I'll clear the way."
