169: The terrifying thing about Sword Soul is that its domain is mine!

“Slaughter Domain.”

“Domain as Self, Sword Soul activate!”

Long Xingyu murmured, then shouted it out directly.

At this moment, an infinitely terrifying aura was released, soaring into the sky.

It was quite vast, completely unleashing itself upon everything in front.

A crimson-gold Sword Light erupted at this moment, shooting skyward, and that mighty, terrifying power made people feel an incomparable shock, as if they wanted to kneel down and worship it all.

Even Qiu Yonghao himself, who had used the Sword Intent Domain, couldn't help but tremble slightly at this moment, and immediately, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes as he looked at Long Xingyu's position.

It was as if he had seen something incredible.

“Sword Soul?”

“I didn't sense wrong, did I?”

“The power Long Xingyu released? It's actually a Sword Soul?”

Qiu Yonghao stared blankly at Long Xingyu's position, his expression filled with horror, utterly bewildered by these events.

At this moment, he only felt immense pressure sweeping over him.

Nothing else, he could sense the difference between Long Xingyu's sword strike and his own!

This was!

A Sword Soul!

“What the hell is going on?”

“Brother Xingyu's Sword Intent has actually completely broken through and entered the Sword Soul level?”

The so-called Sword Soul is to take the sword as one's soul.

Or rather, to entrust one's entire spirit into the Sword Intent, allowing one's sword to possess its own soul.

That is, the state of man and sword becoming one!

This state is terrifying; in the past, Light Sword God Ye Wushang only barely touched a trace of the Sword Soul's profound meaning, yet such a strong person was enough to be called the number one Sword God in a thousand years.

And now? Long Xingyu's progress seems to be even above his!

The two swords roared, and in an instant, endless light was released, an absolutely terrifying power completely erupting at this moment.

At this moment, the aura that erupted made Chen Zidian not dare to be careless, and he immediately used his spiritual pill to completely activate the defensive formation here.

Chen Zidian was present when Long Xingyu and A'nan fought.

He naturally knew the terrifying aspect of Long Xingyu.

So, it was still necessary to defend well.

Soon, the smoke and dust dispersed.

The figures of two people were revealed within.

Long Xingyu still stood calmly in place, all his armor and sword completely withdrawn, transforming into spiritual power returning to Long Xingyu's body.

Opposite him, Qiu Yonghao, who had just been hailed as very likely to defeat Long Xingyu, was at this moment looking somewhat disheveled, half-kneeling on the ground, only able to steady his body by leaning on the sword in his hand.

While coughing.

Quite a bit of fresh blood flowed from his mouth.

Seeing this.

Countless beings present trembled.

Each looked in surprise at the competition arena.

“What's going on? Long Xingyu actually managed to defeat Temple Master Qiu in one move? How is this possible?”

“Yes, you know, Temple Master Qiu's Sword Intent Domain is absolutely not simple, it can even be said to be a top-tier domain in the Temple, not inferior to Light Sword God Ye Wushang from two hundred years ago!”

At this moment, countless powerful individuals spoke among themselves.

They were greatly shocked.

It was clear that at this moment, they were somewhat incredulous about everything that had just happened.

And in the Knight Temple's location.

Yang Haoyu sat there, not having stood up, but his body was filled with continuous Sword Intent, faintly carrying a layer of special light, highlighting something.

However, he didn't care about any of this.

Instead, he stared blankly at Long Xingyu's position, his mind constantly fluctuating with thoughts, as if recalling something.

After a long while.

He sighed: “I didn't expect that after my thirty years of secluded cultivation, Starry-Sky has already become so powerful.”

“Even, his level in Domain as Self and Sword Soul has surpassed mine!”

Suddenly, Yang Haoyu felt a great sense of frustration, even completely dumbfounded.

My goodness, he didn't expect Long Xingyu to have surpassed him!

What kind of seclusion had he been in for these past few decades?!

“Yonghao, how do you feel?” Chen Zidian came from the stage, looked at Qiu Yonghao in front of him, and asked: “Do you still have the strength to fight?”

Qiu Yonghao heard this, shook his head, and with Long Xingyu's treatment, managed to stand up, saying: “Reporting to the chief referee, I concede, I am no match for Long Xingyu.”

Hearing this, Chen Zidian nodded and said: “In this battle, Knight Long Xingyu wins.”

Logically speaking, the moment he said this, according to the rules, Long Xingyu and Qiu Yonghao should both completely retreat, stop fighting, and vacate their positions.

However, at this moment, both of them tacitly stood in place, not leaving.

Qiu Yonghao looked at Long Xingyu's position, his eyes filled with unsuppressed shock, he used spiritual power to transmit his voice and asked: “Brother Xingyu, what's going on with your ability?”

“You actually, actually comprehended Sword Soul? You know, two hundred years ago, Commander Ye didn't even comprehend this ability!”

Qiu Yonghao spoke with extreme shock.

It was clear that he was indeed greatly startled at this moment.

However, this wasn't because Ye Wushang was weak, but because he was too arrogant.

One must know, he was only forty-eight years old when he fell, being able to comprehend a trace of Sword Soul was already impressive.

However, Qiu Yonghao really couldn't imagine that Long Xingyu could also comprehend it?

“Senior Ye Wushang's sword dao talent is naturally above mine.”

“Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to successfully comprehend Sword Soul even with a crucial condition missing; even if it was only preliminary, it was still terrifying enough!”

Long Xingyu said seriously.

It was clear that at this moment, he was teaching Qiu Yonghao.

Similarly, he was also explaining why he could master Sword Soul, and why Qiu Yonghao and Ye Wushang couldn't.

“What condition?”

“Commander Ye was so obsessed with the sword, obsessed for a full forty-eight years; logically speaking, he should have long since entrusted his soul to the sword, how could such a person be missing the possibility of Sword Soul?”

Qiu Yonghao was startled and quickly asked.

However, he wasn't a fool either; he seemed to have already figured out what Ye Wushang was missing.

“Senior Ye Wushang's innate talent and true meaning of the sword dao were both extremely strong, otherwise, he wouldn't have been called the 'Sword of a Thousand Years'!”

“But unfortunately, he was only forty-eight at the time, still too young, only initially mastering the Domain and Sword Soul. If he had reached the ninth rank, fifth level then, he would definitely have been able to perfectly master Sword Soul!”

Long Xingyu explained.

“Ninth rank, fifth level?” Qiu Yonghao seemed to grasp something and quickly asked: “Why?”

Long Xingyu, however, smiled faintly.

He slowly uttered four words:

“Domain as Self!” (End of chapter)
