Chapter 511: Little Heavenbreaker Sword
Chapter 511: Little Heavenbreaker Sword
Boom!
With the final bolt of the heavenly tribulation, Xiao Yan split it apart with a piercing sword qi.
The sword qi shot straight up into the sky, slicing into the tribulation cloud and splitting the entire vortex in half.
The tribulation cloud vortex trembled, then finally cast a beam of light that fell into Xiao Yan's body before slowly dissipating.
A large amount of rule-infused sacred energy emerged, enveloping Xiao Yan.
It helped heal her wounds while also aiding her in completing the physical transformation of the Core Formation Realm.
On the other side, the Old Doctor and the others looked at the scene with a dazed expression.
"Master, Xiao Yan's sword just now had a touch of the same style you used when you cut through the heavenly tribulation back then", Lu Qing said with a smile.
"You say that", the Old Doctor replied, laughing, "but Xiao Yan's sword was far stronger than mine back then. She split the ninth bolt of the tribulation."
The Old Doctor's shock had yet to fade.
Back then, when he cut through the heavenly tribulation, he only managed the eighth bolt.
And after that, he was severely injured, reaching his limits.
While Xiao Yan, after overcoming the ninth bolt of the tribulation, was also injured, but her aura still showed she had some strength left.
Compared to his own past, she was far superior.
"Ah Qing, Xiao Yan's sword just now had a profound meaning, carrying a hint of the essence of creation. It must be the sword technique you created, right?"
The Old Doctor mused.
"Yes, it is the sword technique I created based on the sword path legacy I obtained in the past. I only gradually perfected it a few years ago, but I never expected that Xiao Yan would truly grasp a hint of the Heavenbreaker sword intent at the Foundation Establishment Realm", Lu Qing nodded.
Indeed, the sword qi Xiao Yan used just now was not ordinary.
It was a powerful sword qi carrying a hint of the "Heavenbreaker" essence.
Years ago, Lu Qing obtained an ancient legacy from the Sword Scar in the Narrow Sky.
It was the formidable technique of the Heavenbreaker Daoist, the [Heavenbreaker Sword Qi].
Originally, the [Heavenbreaker Sword Qi] was an immensely profound technique, and just entering the Primordial Soul Realm was necessary to even begin learning it.
However, Lu Qing possessed a unique ability that allowed him to continuously observe and comprehend the sword light the Heavenbreaker Daoist personally cut a hundred thousand years ago through illusionary inheritance.
Over the years, as he observed and comprehended, he gradually grasped some of its secrets.
Using his ability, he deduced and created a complete sword technique suitable for cultivation before the Primordial Soul Realm.
This sword technique, derived from the [Heavenbreaker Sword Qi], served as a prerequisite for practicing the [Heavenbreaker Sword Qi].
Lu Qing named it the [Little Heavenbreaker Sword].
The [Little Heavenbreaker Sword] was a complete sword technique legacy with a low cultivation threshold, starting from the Xiantian Realm and extending up to the Core Formation Realm.
After creating it, Lu Qing taught it to Xiao Yan.
Originally, according to the progress of the [Little Heavenbreaker Sword], it would generally only be possible to grasp a hint of the Heavenbreaker sword intent after reaching the Core Formation Realm.
However, Xiao Yan's talent in the sword path was exceptionally high.
Through years of practice, she managed to grasp a hint of the Heavenbreaker sword intent in the Foundation Establishment Realm, much earlier than expected.
This is what allowed her to achieve the feat of cutting through the heavenly tribulation.
"I never expected that as Xiao Yan's realm improves, her cultivation potential becomes even stronger.
It seems that the innate dao body she awakened back then must be an extremely remarkable constitution."
Lu Qing thought to himself.
Back then, when Xiao Yan absorbed the primordial essence liquid during her master's breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm, she unintentionally awakened a hint of the innate dao body.
Later, her body also integrated the world origin qi and the pills Lu Qing occasionally gave her.
The innate power of her Innate Dao Body grew stronger with each passing day.
Finally, after reaching the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, her Innate Dao Body fully awakened.
At first, Lu Qing hadn’t paid much attention to it.
However, as Xiao Yan’s cultivation performance became increasingly extraordinary over the years, Lu Qing gradually realized the true strength of the Innate Dao Body.
"Your sword technique is truly formidable", the Old Doctor marveled.
After Lu Qing created the Little Heavenbreaker Sword technique, he also allowed the Old Doctor to study it.
However, after achieving the Core Formation Realm, the Old Doctor had already charted his own path in swordsmanship.
Thus, he merely studied the technique without practicing it himself.
He never expected that once Lu Qing’s sword technique was perfected, it would be so powerful.
While the master and apprentice were chatting, Xiao Li and Wu Xing were still in a daze.
It was impossible to remain unaffected by the awe-inspiring process of Xiao Yan’s tribulation.
The Golden Cloud Heavenly Tribulation, with its nine layers of lightning, posed almost no trouble for Xiao Yan except for the final three layers.
Even those last three layers only managed to wound her, not push her to the brink of death.
Especially the ninth and most powerful layer of lightning, which she cleanly severed with a single sword strike, splitting the tribulation cloud vortex in two.
From start to finish, the ease with which she passed the tribulation left Xiao Li and Wu Xing, who had nearly been struck dead by the lightning, unable to believe their eyes.
"Xiao Yan has become so powerful already?"
Wu Xing couldn’t help but exclaim as he came to his senses.
"Ah Qing has been so strict with Xiao Yan’s cultivation these past years, all for this day, right?" Xiao Li couldn’t help but say.
Over the past decade, while Lu Qing had been studying divine techniques and spells to improve his cultivation, his primary focus was on honing Xiao Yan’s skills and helping her build a solid foundation.
Sometimes, Xiao Li, watching from the side, felt that Lu Qing was being too harsh.
Now, seeing how easily Xiao Yan passed the tribulation, Xiao Li realized that it was all thanks to Lu Qing’s strictness.
"Ah Qing must be preparing for something..."
Xiao Li subconsciously glanced at Lu Qing.
Over the years, she had sensed that Lu Qing seemed to be grappling with something.
There was something he couldn’t bring himself to decide on.
This was a rare emotion for Lu Qing, who had always been decisive in the past.
Combined with his strict requirements for Xiao Yan's cultivation, Xiao Li keenly sensed that Lu Qing must be hiding something from them.
"Alright, Xiao Yan is waking up. Let’s go over there."
Lu Qing, not noticing Xiao Li’s gaze, saw the white mist around Xiao Yan dissipating and realized that her transformation was almost complete.
The group flew over to where Xiao Yan was.
After this tribulation, the mountain, which had been reduced to a mere mound, was now completely flattened.
However, in a way, this might be a good thing for the place.
At least Lu Qing thought that no one would want to come here to undergo a tribulation in the future.
As the white mist cleared, Xiao Yan opened her eyes.
"Xiao Yan, congratulations on successfully passing the heavenly tribulation. That final sword strike of yours was truly amazing. You not only dispersed the lightning but also split the tribulation cloud in two..."
Seeing Xiao Yan awake, Xiao Li immediately started chattering excitedly.
For a moment, the place became lively.
