107: Using my fingers as a sword, I will shatter your sword heart.
That was the "Heartless Sword Domain," which only a Late Stage Treasure Body Realm expert, after stepping into the supreme realm of "Man and Sword as One," could barely unleash!
Within this Domain, he was the Sword!
The Sword was him!
Every wisp of his Qi was a Sword Qi capable of splitting stone and cracking tablets!
Every thought of his was a killing move capable of snatching souls!
"Die!"
A chilling, emotionless word seemed to echo in Lin Ye's ears from all directions simultaneously!
Before the words even faded!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Hundreds of transparent Sword Qi, thin as cicada wings and fast as lightning, emerged without warning from every inch of space around Lin Ye, like a school of fish endowed with life, surging madly!
This attack was inescapable! There was no retreat!
This was the terror of the "Heartless Sword Domain"!
"Not good!"
Su Changqing never expected Sword Without Dust to be such a Prodigy! He had actually touched the threshold of the Dharma Body Realm Domain while still in the Treasure Body Realm!
This attack, even a Peak Treasure Body Realm expert, if caught off guard, would surely… perish!
Lin Ye… was in danger!
However, just as that terrifying sword net, capable of shredding heaven and earth into Void Realm, was about to strike him—
Lin Ye, at the center of the storm, didn't even look at the deadly Sword Qi surrounding him.
His index and middle fingers were pressed together.
Like a sword.
Immediately, a trace of brilliant starlight, imperceptible to others, filled with endless profoundness and ancient aura, flashed in his dark eyes!
Nine Heavens Star Array!
He didn't set up an array; in that brief instant, he integrated the endless variations of the vast star map into his Divine Soul!
The next moment!
The terrifying sword net, which had seemed flawless in his eyes, instantly became… full of flaws!
He could clearly "see" the trajectory of every Sword Qi!
He could even more clearly "find" the only, fatal… array core!
"So… this is your 'Dao'…"
Lin Ye silently curved a cold smile in his heart.
"Gorgeous, yet… fragile."
His joined fingertips gently tapped forward.
An extremely subtle "pop" sound, like a bursting bubble, flashed across the silent arena.
His seemingly ordinary finger, at an incredible angle, pierced through the layers of the deadly sword net, precisely striking the most central point among the hundreds of Sword Qi!
The terrifying sword net, which had been overwhelming, suddenly stiffened!
Immediately after—
Under everyone's ghost-like gazes, the hundreds of sharp Sword Qi, capable of tearing steel to shreds, exploded with a "bang," like a mirror struck by a giant hammer!
Turning into… scattered, twinkling… light points!
Vanishing into thin air!
"Pfft!"
Not far away, Sword Without Dust's figure, which had merged with the Void Realm, suddenly staggered and appeared from mid-air!
A sickly flush instantly appeared on his face! His blood-red eyes, which had been full of supreme confidence, were now filled with endless horror and… disbelief!
He was actually… defeated by a single finger, his Divine Ability broken?!
"I don't believe it!"
A greater, extreme humiliation of being provoked by an ant, suddenly surged into his heart!
"Myriad Swords Return to Flow!"
He roared, and the transparent long sword in his hand transformed into a dazzling river that reached the heavens and earth, carrying an unparalleled Divine Might capable of sweeping away mountains, and slashed down towards Lin Ye…!
However, facing this earth-shattering sword, Lin Ye's face remained as calm as an ancient well.
He again joined his fingers like a sword.
His fingertips gently traced upwards.
That invisible finger wind, precisely, cut across the weakest… node of the surging sword river!
"Boom!"
The once invincible, brilliant sword river, like a flood cut off by a dam, roared and split into two streams!
Two terrifying torrents of Sword Qi rushed past Lin Ye's sides, plowing two terrifying, bottomless gullies into the hard black meteorite ground behind him!
Yet, he stood still, unblemished, unharmed!
"Again."
Lin Ye looked at him calmly, his dark eyes showing no ripples.
"Ah ah ah!!!"
Sword Without Dust's arrogant Dao Heart, which had long merged with his sword, was completely… shaken at this moment!
"Immortal from Beyond the Heavens!"
"Sword Sweeps the Eight Desolations!"
"No Self, No Sword!"
One supreme sword technique after another, capable of changing the very color of heaven and earth, was frantically unleashed by him!
For a time, the entire Wentian Platform was completely submerged by the overwhelming, terrifying sword light!
However, no matter how exquisite or how violent his swordplay was.
That slender figure, like a small boat in the vast ocean, always managed to find a glimmer of life in the world-destroying waves, in the most incredible way!
Sometimes he stepped out, sometimes he pointed down, sometimes he flicked a sleeve… every movement was profoundly mysterious!
Each strike perfectly landed on the weakest, and most… fatal flaw of Sword Without Dust's seemingly flawless sword moves!
One move… two moves… three moves… ten moves!
When Sword Without Dust had unleashed all his lifelong learning, yet still couldn't even touch a hair of the opponent's clothes—
His once proud and arrogant Dao Heart finally… collapsed under Lin Ye's playful, dimension-reducing attack!
"No… why… why is it like this…"
He stood there dejectedly, his blood-red eyes, which had been full of endless Battle Intent, now only held endless bewilderment and… emptiness.
He couldn't understand!
His swordplay had clearly reached the realm of "Man and Sword as One"!
His Dao was clearly the strongest… among the younger generation of the Tiannan Dynasty!
Why… why, in front of this person, did it seem so… vulnerable?! So… ridiculous?!
Just as his Divine Soul was losing control and his Dao Heart was about to collapse, Lin Ye's calm, emotionless voice clearly struck his heart.
"A sword is not heartless."
"Nor is it without a heart."
"A sword is protection, it is responsibility, it is… going forward without hesitation, even if facing a thousand, ten thousand men!"
Saying so, he slowly raised his right hand, joining his fingers like a sword.
This time, his fingertips carried no Cultivation Technique.
Only a pure, unyielding… belief!
He integrated all the unwillingness, all the struggles, all the protection he had experienced in his past and present lives into this one finger!
"Watch closely."
He slowly spoke.
"This, is… the Sword!"
He gently tapped forward.
This one finger seemed slow, yet it also seemed to transcend time and space.
This one finger seemed ordinary, yet it seemed to contain the entire heaven and earth!
Sword Without Dust only felt that his entire world was completely… filled by this one finger!
He could only watch as that finger rapidly enlarged in his pupils, finally gently touching the transparent long sword in his hand, thin as a cicada's wing.
"Ding—"
An extremely crisp, light sound.
Immediately after—
"Crack…"
An extremely subtle sound, as if something had broken, slowly emanated from within Sword Without Dust's body.
That was not his bones.
But his… Dao Heart!
His transparent long sword, which had been radiating endless sharpness, instantly lost all its brilliance, and with a "clanging" sound, like common iron, slipped from his powerless hand.
Falling onto the cold ground.
