Chapter 531: The Dao is My Sword, a True Spirit of the Heaven and Earth Master Realm

"Second Senior Brother, not everyone is like you, able to keep fighting without getting tired." Su Lingxuan glanced at Meng Chong and said.

Meng Chong looked at the other warriors. Although Su Lingxuan had provided pills to restore their energy, after such a prolonged battle, many still showed signs of fatigue.

The Unformed True Spirits, driven by Mu Po, continued to charge forward relentlessly, showing no signs of retreat.

These Unformed True Spirits, after all, lacked spiritual intelligence and only possessed animal instincts. Once driven by Mu Po, their natural instinct to retreat in the face of danger had been greatly diminished.

Thus, even with countless casualties, they showed no intention of backing down.

Unless, of course, the force controlling them, driven by Mu Po, was broken.

However, Mu Po was a powerful cultivator in the Heaven and Earth Master Realm. Neither Chi Cat nor Ao Lie possessed sufficient strength to break Mu Po's control over the True Spirits entirely; they could only do so within a limited range.

"If we truly can't hold on any longer, we can always fall back within the range of the Heavenly Dao rules and rely on its defense. We should be able to withstand this wave of attacks," Meng Chong said after some thought.

Su Lingxuan nodded in agreement. Even if they truly couldn't withstand this assault, they still had their master to fall back on. This could be considered a valuable learning experience.

"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, I have a feeling that person is preparing something," Jiang Buling said in a low voice as he joined them after killing an Unformed True Spirit with his spear.

Su Lingxuan turned her gaze toward Mu Po, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly. "He's probably planning something against me, isn't he?"

"Third Junior Sister, be careful," Meng Chong reminded her.

"It's nothing serious. Our master is here," Su Lingxuan said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Meng Chong and Jiang Buling couldn't help but nod in agreement. Their master was right here within the heavens and earth, surely keeping a watchful eye on them. No crisis could escape his notice.

Moreover, they each carried a jade token given to them by their master, which was more than enough to deal with any potential dangers.

"When will the Senior Brother make his move?" Fang Hao asked as he pointed with his finger, manipulating the Killing Formation to assist the warriors in repelling wave after wave of attacks.

"Senior Brother is here!" Su Lingxuan exclaimed joyfully, looking toward a certain direction.

Mu Po, who was currently entangled in battle with Tianzi, suddenly frowned, his expression turning slightly solemn as he looked toward a handsome young man stepping out from within the heavens and earth.

In that instant, the young man's mere presence gave Mu Po the feeling of an unparalleled divine sword.

"Another one!" Mu Po exclaimed in shock. How many trump cards had Tai Cang left behind? To have cultivated such heaven-defying geniuses, was there an even stronger genius within the heavens and earth?

"If this person is in the Heaven and Earth Master Realm..." Mu Po's expression turned grave as he considered the possibility. He had a feeling that if the young man were at the same cultivation level as him, he wouldn't stand a chance against him.

Hum!

Xu Yan took a step forward, his gaze sweeping across the horde of True Spirits. His heart stirred with emotion, for even though he had not yet reached the Realm of Standing in the Dao, he had still stepped out of the heavens and earth.

This could be considered transcending the heavens and earth!

With a casual gesture, his sword intent transformed into a majestic river within the Unformed Land. The violent spiritual energy and the pervasive unformed aura were, at this moment, incorporated into his sword intent.

This was an extremely fierce and murderous sword intent. Wherever it spread, the True Spirits trembled. Even the charging True Spirits let out low roars and began to retreat.

Some of the weaker True Spirits turned around and fled, disappearing into the Unformed Land.

"It's Sword God Xu Yan!"

Mei Wu, who was currently fighting two Domain Lord-level True Spirits, turned her head toward Xu Yan, her expression extremely complex.

From the first time she had met Xu Yan to the time he had outmaneuvered her in the Sky Cave, not much time had passed. Yet, in this short period, Xu Yan's strength had grown to such an extent.

Especially that terrifying sword intent, which directly intimidated the Unformed True Spirits, was even more powerful than the intimidation displayed by Chi Cat and Ao Lie.

"Perhaps in ten years, or maybe even less, his strength will surpass mine!" Mei Wu thought silently.

That stalk of jade bamboo would not be returning to her.

Perhaps, it was for the best. Using a treasure, they had resolved their enmity.

No, that wasn't right!

Mei Wu's thoughts took another turn. Xu Yan didn't hold any grudges against her; it was she who held a grudge against him. She had always been the one at a disadvantage, always the one suffering losses at Xu Yan's hands.

This realization made Mei Wu's heart feel a little uncomfortable.

Xu Yan strode forward, and apart from the Domain Lord-level True Spirits, the rest posed no threat to him.

On the contrary, his formidable sword intent intimidated these True Spirits.

At his level of strength, even some of the weaker Domain Lords would be unable to contend against him.

Hum!

As Xu Yan walked through the hazy Unformed Land, a scene of mountains and rivers suddenly appeared, as if a new world had been carved out within the haze.

This sight shocked everyone present.

Such a concept was beyond imagination!

The reason the Seven Great Heavens and Earths, including Tai Cang, existed was because of the Purple Light of Creation. Aside from that, no other power was known to be capable of creating a new heaven and earth within the Unformed Land.

At least, up until now, Mu Po had never heard of any power other than the Purple Light of Creation being able to achieve such a feat.

Yet, the scene unfolding before him suggested that someone had cultivated an incredibly profound power that could create a new heaven and earth within the Unformed Land.

What an incredibly powerful and profound force this was!

It far exceeded Mu Po's understanding, and a hint of fear even crept into his heart!

"Has Tai Cang really researched and developed such a profound power?" Mu Po wondered in shock. If Tai Cang hadn't died in that battle or if he had acted sooner, would the Unformed Shrine have stood a chance against him?

"Could this person be Tai Cang's most powerful trump card?" Mu Po thought as he looked at Xu Yan, a strong killing intent rising within him, even stronger than the one he felt toward Su Lingxuan and the others.

"He must die!" Mu Po's eyes gleamed with a cold light, and he didn't bother to hide his murderous intentions. "No matter the cost, he must be killed! The others may be spared, but he must die!"

Even if they couldn't kill Su Lingxuan and the others, Mu Po would still feel it was worth it as long as Xu Yan died.

Among this group, Xu Yan posed the greatest threat!

Rumble!

Just at that moment, the world of mountains and rivers that Xu Yan had created suddenly transformed into a world of swords. Violent spiritual energy poured into it, and the Unformed Qi swirled around it.

Sword intent seemed to have taken on a tangible form, transforming into a vast and mighty river of swords.

Within this river of swords, various sword intents converged, and there even seemed to be a hint of a supreme and ultimate principle.

The True Spirits that came into contact with the river of swords were instantly annihilated.

Xu Yan took one step after another, and the river of swords grew longer and wider. More and more sword intents gathered within it, each with its unique nature—fierce, icy, sharp, gentle...

All these different sword intents merged to form the river of swords, which continued to spread and expand.

Moreover, this river of swords continued to condense and solidify. With the infusion of violent spiritual energy and the enveloping Unformed Qi, it seemed to possess an eternal and indestructible quality.

As Xu Yan took a step forward, it was as if he had entered a new realm, breaking free from his shackles. In that instant, the river of swords and the sword intent within it underwent a transformation, and there was a hint of holiness in them.

Sword practitioners among the group were stunned to find that the swords in their hands were acting on their own, turning towards Xu Yan. The sword tips bowed down as if they were respectfully kneeling before him!

Saint Sword Realm!

Li Xuan looked up at the sky, a relieved smile on his face as he watched Xu Yan break through to the Saint Sword Realm.

"Your disciple Xu Yan has broken through to the Saint Sword Realm. You have achieved perfection in the Saint Sword Realm."

Xu Yan continued to walk forward, and the river of swords grew wider and more powerful. At one point, Xu Yan paused and turned to look back at the path he had taken.

He gazed at the vast river of swords that stretched across the Unformed Land, at the world of mountains and rivers that had transformed into swords. Countless sword intents converged and fused together, resembling various rules and principles.

At that moment, Xu Yan had a profound realization, as if he had seen a grand path of swords.

"So this is the Sword Dao Realm," Xu Yan murmured. "I finally understand how to enter the Sword Dao Realm. To use the sword as the path and the path as the sword... So this is how it's done!"

Xu Yan had gained enlightenment, and the path to the Sword Dao Realm had been revealed to him. All he needed to do now was to continue walking down that path.

"Your disciple Xu Yan has understood the Sword Dao Realm. You have broken through to the Sword Dao Realm."

A delighted smile spread across Li Xuan's face.

"You have obtained the Sword Dao!"

Li Xuan looked at the Sword Dao with a brilliant smile. Finally, Xu Yan had stepped into the Dao realm, and his strength had increased once again.

"Who can stand against my sword?"

"My sword is the Dao, and the Dao is my sword. Within this Unformed Land, who can block my sword?"

Li Xuan was brimming with confidence at that moment.

With the Creation Realm and the Dao Sword, Li Xuan couldn't think of anyone who could possibly withstand his might.

Perhaps only that person from the Unformed Shrine could?

"As expected of my true disciple!" Li Xuan thought proudly.

"It seems that it's almost time for me to make a move."

Within the Unformed Land, a True Spirit was approaching, and its target was Xu Yan.

Initially, this True Spirit had targeted Su Lingxuan, then Chi Cat, and later Meng Chong and the other two.

Now, its target was Xu Yan, and it was going all out. As long as it could kill Xu Yan, it was willing to let the others go for the time being.

The battle outside the heavens intensified as Xu Yan took action, and the assault of the Unformed True Spirits began to weaken, especially after Xu Yan broke through to the Saint Sword Realm. With his overflowing sword intent, the violent spiritual energy and pervasive unformed aura within the Unformed Land were transformed into sword intent, merging with the sword stream.

The sword stream spread in all directions, causing chaos.

Wherever it passed, the Unformed True Spirits were slain, and many more roared and fled in fear.

Xu Yan's sword intent covered a vast area, instantly decimating the True Spirits within its range, causing them to either flee in terror or be destroyed. This drastically reduced the pressure on the warriors.

Even the Domain Lord-level warriors felt a surge of vigor and began to fight with renewed strength against the True Spirits.

Where Xu Yan stood, there was a surging sword stream. With each step he took, True Spirits crumbled, and the area he covered grew wider. It wouldn't be long before the crisis brought by the True Spirits' assault was averted.

Boom! Xu Yan lifted his hand and pointed, and in the Unformed Land, sharp sword lights suddenly soared, standing tall in the misty realm and emitting a chilling glow.

These sword lights were formed by the condensation of unformed qi and violent spiritual energy, each radiating a unique sword intent—piercing, gentle, fiery, or icy.

Where these sword lights stood, a world of mountains and rivers seemed to take shape, a sword-made world.

Each sword light seemed to contain a tiny world within, faintly revealing scenes of the heavens and earth.

This sight once again shocked all the warriors.

A chilling killing intent filled Mu Po's heart.

He lashed his whip, creating a loud snapping sound, and the True Spirits roared as they rushed toward Xu Yan from all directions, like a tidal wave.

These True Spirits no longer attacked the heavens and earth but had shifted their target solely to Xu Yan!

Xu Yan remained calm and unaffected. With a casual gesture, he declared, "Annihilate All Directions!"

Buzz! The sword lights burst with a chilling radiance, instantly enveloping the charging True Spirits.

The annihilation intent erupted, and in the Unformed Land, a blinding light erupted, as if everything within its reach was being erased from existence.

Roar! Countless True Spirits howled, their powers exploding as they tried to resist the annihilating force.

Boom!

The sword lights shattered, their radiance dimming as the True Spirits' violent powers continued to erupt.

Xu Yan's expression remained unchanged as he waved his hand, summoning more sword lights. The violent spiritual energy and the pervasive unformed qi continuously transformed into sword lights.

Xu Yan repeatedly cast the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword, and toward the end, he seamlessly integrated the Extermination Sword, which had merged with the misty realm, into his attacks.

The black sword lights were almost invisible within the haze, but the terrifying, annihilating sharpness that eradicated all left an indelible impression.

With each strike of the sword, Unformed True Spirit after Unformed True Spirit was obliterated.

However, there were just too many Unformed True Spirits, and they seemed to be endless, continuously surging toward Xu Yan.

"Kill! Lessen the burden on Sword God!"

A warrior roared and took action, restraining the True Spirits that were charging at Xu Yan.

"Big Brother's Sword Dao is truly powerful!" Meng Chong exclaimed in admiration. He swung his hand, and a dazzling blade light erupted, along with an overwhelmingly domineering blade intent.

Buzz! As Meng Chong unleashed his blade, countless True Spirits were annihilated in the blade light, and in that moment, Meng Chong gained a deeper understanding of the Dao of Blades.

Whoosh! Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed as one of the True Spirits charging at Xu Yan, with an extremely terrifying aura, sped up its attack.

It was a Heaven and Earth Master-level Unformed True Spirit!

Gao Laotou, Tian Sha, Tai He, and Tai Kun's faces paled as they never expected Mu Po to be able to control a Heaven and Earth Master-level Unformed True Spirit! Or perhaps it wasn't about control—there seemed to be an unusual connection between this True Spirit and Mu Po, and his ability to command such a massive group of True Spirits might be related to this particular one.

It had red bone spurs growing from its back, a blade-like growth on its head, four red claws, and a body covered in scales. Its tail was long and thin, with a bone spur at the end that resembled a spear.

This hideous True Spirit rushed toward Xu Yan with incredible speed, unleashing its violent power in an all-out attack aimed at leaving Xu Yan with no chance of escape.

At the same time, Mu Po launched a powerful assault on Tianzi to prevent him from saving Xu Yan.
