Divine Brilliance

“What sword intent is this?”

Startled for a moment, Jueyu came back to his senses–joy appeared in his eyes, but more of it was confusion and doubt. He had never seen Zong Shou’s martial path intent. However, its strength was even higher than his great extinction sword!

“One origin great formless sword!”

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate to reply. He casually said the words “great formless sword” while feeling a little delighted.

If his previous sword technique was just taking shape, then at this moment, using his soul to cast it was the actual thing.

The soul consisted of the five elements, heaven, earth, wind, lightning, light, and darkness were all present. No matter what kind of sword technique or cultivation, he could replicate it.

He was even looking forward to his sword technique improving today.

“Great formless? You self created it?”

With just a thought, Jueyu knew that this was most probably the sword technique that defeated Ji Lingzi that year in Black Spirit Canyon. It also probably had some connection to the Buddhist small formless technique. Only one big and one small, one could see that he was filled with ambition.

Then, he sized up Zong Shou, and then his brows furrowed.

“You aren’t a sword cultivator. What you cultivate in isn’t the sword soul path. Using your soul to fight me–are you insulting me?”

“My martial path cultivation is only grade 6. Do you want me to use that physical body to battle?”

Jueyu was instantly shocked. Zong Shou was already a little impatient, the fighting intent in his heart couldn’t be calmed down any longer!

“Cut the crap, I shall attack. Careful!”

The moment he said that the sword glow in his hands rose up. It was the 1st sword from Chuxue, light and ethereal like a fairy from another world!

A thousand feet was just covered in less than a thousandth of a breath.

In the eyes of the other people who had seen this sword before, it was another feeling.

It was like someone descending from another world. It was obvious that the sword was direct but it felt extremely empty–like it could change into millions of forms, unable to grab a trace of it!

Jueyu’s pupils constricted. Then he shouted out, “Good”. The black-colored broadsword in his hand shot out a ten thousand feet black glow. Huge amounts of black wave rose up in the air.

If Zong Shou’s sword was flexible–close to illusionary, then his sword was domineering, heavy, filled with violence to try to destroy everything!

Before the sword shadows clashed, the martial path intent had already struck one another. Huge amounts of out of control intent spread all over! It turned into physical forms, like lightning surging in all directions.

Some unlucky grade 6 cultivators scoffed out, and blood spit out from their mouths and noses.

Even some grade 7 cultivators, after being struck by the intent, had pale faces.

As for those people below grade 8, they all consciously fled backward, trying to get as far away from those 2 people.

Moments later one heard a loud “keng”.

Right where Zong Shou and Jueyu stood, the entire stable space was collapsing!

Using where the sword light intersected as the core, like glass after shattering, it broke piece by piece. Large amounts of black colored ripples spread in all directions!

The 2 of them were wrapped up within the situation, but they didn’t care. The peak sword intent was going out against these space cracks–repelling the black lines from getting close.

The space cracks still spread about, causing this space to twist up and fall apart.

At this moment, thousands of people had ashen white faces. Those people with sects to rely on–cultivators with elders will naturally have people to protect them–they would be safe.

As for those lone cultivators, their face was devoid of color, and their heads going numb.

At this moment, Tanqiu and Jueyu didn’t care at all. They fought intensely. Zong Shou’s swords were light and nimble, finding its way through the black colored cracks. As for that Jueyu, he didn’t back off, and that great extinction sword intent along with the vast black wave was continuously trying to counter-attack.

Each sword clash would cause this place to become more dangerous–to cause the storm in the area to become even more explosive.

Even those grade 6 solo cultivators looked on in despair. They were about to be ripped to shreds by the black cracks.

An invisible vast power suddenly spread out, causing the nearby space to once again stabilize.

Everyone looked out in shock. They understood. They saw the common people palace head Fangwen bringing many common people path elders to walk out of the vast habitat.

Although they didn’t know who it was, all of them gratefully bowed as a form of thanks.

Jueyu and Zong Shou didn’t feel anything, one white and one dark as the 2 sword lights continuously struck one another, colliding with one another.

In a blink of an eye, who knew how many swords they had crossed.

The wind and broken sword energy were totally swallowed up by these space cracks.

The place where the 2 of them were standing on was extremely dangerous. If they were not careful, their soul would dissipate and their spirit would be lost.

However, when they attacked, neither of them hesitated. There was no delay at all. They were placing their bodies on the line, not caring about their safety at all.

The 2 sword intents continued to climb, even above their peak, it was still crazily climbing!

Jueyu slowly gave out a maniacal laugh. His fighting spirit was burning. He felt like he had never felt so good in his life!

“This feels good! Feels good! In 2 years, this is the best battle! 19 spiritual houses, 10 shrines, hundreds of experts, none of them can be compared to you! I am serious now! As for the sword behind, I can’t control it even if I want to…”

When he said those words, the black colored sword shadow suddenly sliced diagonally. All the black wave was suddenly retracted. It sliced across with an extremely beautiful trajectory.

Everywhere–even those giant horn dragon-like black cracks–was broken by the sword, unable to block it even a single bit.

Zong Shou’s eyes lit up, and his was heart raging.

This was the sword prince-Jueyu! The unparalleled swordsman who swept 3 thousand worlds! 10 days ago, it seems like he didn’t go all out against Chuxue.

He had never used such a killing move!

Zong Shou wasn’t shocked but was delighted instead. This was the reason why the genius cultivators in the future all wished that they could be born thousands of years earlier during the god-emperor era.

Filled with talents! Loads of stars shining!

“That is exactly what I intended!”

Zong Shou laughed. Although it was a soul body, it felt like there was magma flowing within his body.

The fire yin sword held in front of his body. Then, with a light “ding” sound, a hundred feet out, the sword light intersected.

Zong Shou’s body leaned backward slightly before it stopped. The black-colored broadsword that slashed across flew backward. The black-colored energy wave seemed to have lost control as it expanded once more.

“What sword technique is this?”

Jueyu’s eyes tensed up, one wave and one change of direction. The black-colored sword shadow slashed down from above. The black wave gathered once more as it had transformed into a ten thousand feet long giant black sword.

Great extinction sword, wiping out everything, naturally that included space!

Hong!

A loud ring as the black colored sword shadow descended. The entire space shrunk before expanding, like a leather ball which was squeezed. Then, it was like glass, breaking into pieces, piece by piece spreading about!

However, Zong Shou was still standing safely on the spot.

“One origin yin sword!”

Another sword shadow stabbed out. Where the sword light arrived at, the many space fragments seemed to be like video replays in the future, each of them flying back and reassembling.

This sword light was also extremely accurate. It was still a hundred feet out as it struck at the sword spine of the black colored broadsword.

Another sharp ring. That broadsword was once again forced back. On the side of Zong Shou he retreated by half a step!

The thousands of people there all held their breaths, looking at the situation ahead of them in astonishment.

Lei Dong also kept silent, the feeling in his heart was really complicated.

A short 2 years, that lonely helpless teen had already grown to such a level?

His brother was really on their level now.

“Greatsword technique! Exquisite attack, the defense is also a dream! I really wish I could test it out!”

An exclamation spread over. Lei Dong didn’t need to see and knew that it was the knife lord Li Wuhui who was as famous as the three pinnacle swords.

At this moment the people nearby were all drunk whilst some others were in discussion.

“What a sword prince Jueyu! As expected from the 2nd of the 3 pinnacle swords!”

“Tanqiu is actually on the same level as him!”

“…The great extinction sword going out on full force actually has such ability…”

“…This trip was so worth it!”

“My life is blessed! Jueyu, Tanqiu, this battle is the best peak sword battle one can see in probably a thousand years!”

Whilst they mumbled in a trance, Suchen beside him was also at a loss.

“Today, I finally know the difference between geniuses and average people! To think that I have been arrogant in my life, the gulf between them and me is actually so huge!”

He heaved a sigh before he summoned a golden talisman that spread into the void.

Lei Dong’s eyes still didn’t leave the scene in front of him. However, he sensed the situation around him, saying curiously, “What are you doing?”

“Naturally, I am telling Ruotai!”

Lei Dong’s brows frowned as he heard that. Ruotai was the spirit sword. Ruotai, who was practicing in ten thousand sword vast habitat, was his dead rival!

“Why are you telling him?”

“He is my senior brother and is my close friend. If he misses this battle, he would regret it for numerous years!”

Suchen smiled. Then, he gave a complicated expression and sighed, “Such a peak sword battle to our level of sword cultivators, who knows how many years it would take for us to witness one of it…”

Lei Dong kept silent, he had nothing to say.

At this moment, between the common people vast habitat, within those ten over lecture halls. Just as many golden talismans flashed, all of a sudden many disciples in white kept the books in his hand and crazily surged out.

Those that could fly flew swiftly, those that had to walk ran quickly, like birds and beasts surging forwards.

Yuanfei looked around in shock, only to see that a majority of the sect disciples had disappeared in an instance.

He was instantly confused, quickly tugging at someone who passed by his side.

“What is happening? You all are not listening to the lesson anymore?”

He knew that Zong Shou might be fighting Jueyu outside. The outcome of the battle did, in fact, interest him a little.

However, this time was different from the previous time. 10 years ago, the palace head allowed them to stop lessons to watch the battle.

At that moment they were in the middle of a lesson. If they left halfway, they were to be punished.

Direct disciples like them were still okay, but those inner and outer sect disciples, if punished might need to be chased out of the vast habitat.
