Chapter 2359: The Bearing of Sword Immortal (One)
“The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance has actually attacked the Path of Swords…”
“The Path of Swords was constructed by the Celestial Sword Saint. How bold of the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance…”
“He really is the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance after all. There’s really only a few people who dare to disrespect the Celestial Sword Saint, and he just happens to be one of them…”
…
The peak experts around the Path of Sword all cried out. The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance was undeterred by the Celestial Sword Saint and had launched an attack at Jian Chen after he set foot on the Path of Swords. They would never possess such courage.
The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance’s feather had arrived above the Path of Swords with pulsing, destructive energy by now.
The strike was extremely astonishing. If the feather landed, not only would Jian Chen be done for, but even the Path of Swords might be destroyed.
Jian Chen’s face changed as he stood on the Path of Swords. He controlled the Anatta Tower with all his efforts, wanting to hide in it as soon as possible.
This was a sure kill strike from the Azure Peng King. If it made contact, it would be very difficult for him to survive with his current strength.
However, the azure feather was just too quick. The concept of distance was negligible before it, and it arrived in a single instance. It was so fast that Jian Chen did not even have the opportunity to enter the Anatta Tower.
Jian Chen’s heart sank. At this moment, he felt the threat of death.
“Blue birdbrain, how bold of you!”
At this moment, an ancient voice rang out grandly. The terrifying sound waves could pierce through anything, causing space to shake as even the laws of the world seemed to be affected.
The space around the Path of Swords suddenly twisted. The laws operating in that region were seemingly distorted. The Azure Peng King’s feather immediately slowed down when it entered the twisted space.
In the next moment, the Path of Swords that was completely condensed from sword Qi suddenly shone with blinding light. A resplendent strand of sword Qi shot out from the Path of Swords into the air.
The sword Qi was like a blinding streak of light, tearing through the air with enough brightness to make everything else pale in comparison.
As soon as the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance’s feather came in contact with the sword Qi, it disintegrated. The feather that was supposed to contain devastating power seemed fragile.
The sword Qi continued onwards without weakening at all, tearing its way to outer space. Terrifying sword intent had already locked onto the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance.
The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance’s face changed slightly, and deep fear appeared in his eyes. His body that was as colossal as a planet strunk to ten metres wide in a single instance. He had become a tiny azure peng.
However, slashes appeared on the azure peng’s body. The slashes either cut through his flesh, making him bleed, or swept past his tough feathers, leaving behind white marks.
This was the result of getting locked onto by the sword Qi, caused by the terrifying sword intent.
The Celestial Sword Saint was just too powerful. Before the sword Qi had even arrived, the sword intent had already affected the space there, turning the region around the Azure Peng King into a boundary of sword Qi.
All the laws and all the powers within the boundary of sword Qi were under the Celestial Sword Saint’s control. It all turned into sharp swords.
“Celestial Sword Saint!” The Azure Peng King bellowed out in resentment, but he did not dare to stay where he was. With a flash of azure light, he vanished in a single instance, fleeing to the depths of space with terrifying speed.
However, as he left, the terrifying sword Qi that had shot over from the Path of Swords passed through the azure light that the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance had turned into. Immediately, blood sprayed out.
“The Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance has fled. However, he’s injured,” said the ancestral emperor of the Daohuang Empire sternly as he stared at outer space.
“One of his wings had almost been cut off. The Celestial Sword Saint is so strong. His cultivation level is high enough, but his battle prowess exceeds his current level of cultivation as well,” the hall elder of the God clan, Tyne, looked towards the Path of Swords in admiration.
Tu San from the Heaven-splitting clan remained silent. At that moment, he had also discovered that the Celestial Sword Saint’s strength was much greater than the rumoured. At the very least, he felt that the sword Qi the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance faced was life-threatening.
He knew that if the person who faced the sword Qi was someone other than the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance at the same level of cultivation, it would have been impossible for them to escape.
Only the Heavenly King of Azure Brilliance could escape with his almost unmatched speed.
The foreign peak experts around the Path of Swords all became fearful. They could not help but distance themselves further from the Path of Swords as they felt great danger.
As peak experts, they could sense just how terrifying the previous sword Qi was to an even greater degree. The bottom of their hearts shivered when they saw the astonishing sword Qi, and it was to the point where chills even ran down the spines of many.
Jian Chen lost the ability to observe the outside world after the sword Qi was launched. All of his senses had been cut off by a powerful sword intent.
Now, he had entered a hazy, white world. Apart from the flight of stairs that led into the sky, there was nothing else present.
White was the only color in this world.
“This is a world of the Way of the Sword,” Jian Chen sensed his surroundings with his mind and immediately understood the secrets here. The world had been conjured from the Way of the Sword.
The steps beneath him were compressed from the Laws of the Sword, and every single step of the stairs that led upwards represented a portion of the Laws of the Sword.
Jian Chen sucked in a deep breath. He knew that the test from the Celestial Sword Saint had formally begun.
He began to ascend the stairs slowly. He made his way up with confident steps. Once he reached the end, he would have the opportunity of accepting the Celestial Sword Saint as his master.
He did not want to become the Celestial Sword Saint’s disciple. If he could, he would distance himself from the Celestial Sword Saint. After all, the Celestial Sword Saint was the greatest expert on the Desolate Plane, possessing unfathomable strength. If he spent long periods of time with someone like that, he was worried that the Celestial Sword Saint would still find some problems with him despite Mo Tianyun’s mask.
After all, he possessed the twin swords.
However, he had no other choice now.
Jian Chen ascended the steps without stopping. The test of the Way of the Sword hidden within each step gradually became more difficult. Where he was right now was the simplest part of the tests, so there was no need for him to stop at all with his current cultivation level.
This was because Jian Chen would easily pass through the tests the moment they appeared from the steps.
Very soon, Jian Chen completed a third of the path, and at this moment, the tests he faced became greater and greater. He began to slow down.
