509: The powerful Xie Changsheng

The crowd outside all wore strange expressions.

Although they already knew how terrifying Lin Ye was from when he was Undergoing Tribulation earlier.

But now that the Chongxiao Sword had placed Lin Ye in the first position, it really felt a bit strange.

After all, compared to the others, Lin Ye was merely a junior.

What if the person entering the Trial Grounds was an Emperor? Could the Chongxiao Sword forcibly force Lin Ye's projection into the Emperor Realm?

And most importantly, Xie Changsheng had just entered with full confidence, wanting to prove to everyone that he was not weaker than Lin Ye, only to immediately encounter Lin Ye's projection.

This matter was truly too surreal.

Inside the sky screen, Xie Changsheng, who was just about to make a move, was also stunned for a moment.

He truly had not expected that Lin Ye's projection would be manifested so quickly, and that it would even be considered the strongest person by the Chongxiao Sword.

"This is good as well. If I successfully defeat his projection, wouldn't that prove my potential?"

"Since a battle with someone whose fate clashes with mine is inevitable sooner or later, why not warm up first!"

Xie Changsheng's eyes were filled with burning intensity, and the Battle Intent on his body had even condensed into substance, humming in the Void Realm.

"Whatever Lin Ye can do, I can do as well. One sword, right? Come on!"

Xie Changsheng's clothes fluttered, and the sword of rosy light in his hand flickered with brilliant radiance, making him look exceptionally refined, as if an Immortal had descended to the world.

Hearing his words, which could be called arrogant, the crowd outside did not feel there was anything wrong with it.

After all, he truly had the qualifications to be arrogant about everything. A 1,500-year-old at the Peak of the Saint Realm, his foundation was undoubtedly exceptional, and combined with that Xia Sword Heart and Evergreen Body, he was absolutely a top-tier Prodigy.

Especially the Sword Qi flowing from his body; it was so sharp and cold, seemingly capable of piercing through anything.

Xie Changsheng stared directly at the projections manifested by the Chongxiao Sword, waiting for the first projection to step out.

Indeed, after a moment, the projection of one of the Elders stepped forward, seemingly intending to attack, and Xie Changsheng was prepared to kill it with a single sword strike.

But just as that projection was about to make a move, suddenly.

The projection of Lin Ye at the very top moved.

As if it possessed its own consciousness, that Lin Ye projection descended and directly reached out to push the Elder's projection back.

It then stood in front of Xie Changsheng.

This scene left everyone stunned.

"Aren't the projections manifested by the Chongxiao Sword supposed to lack consciousness? Plus, Lin Ye is standing right here, so why did that projection take the initiative to push the Elder back and stand out itself?"

"Could it be that Lin Ye's projection feels the Elders are no longer a threat to Xie Changsheng?"

"No! Look, that projection's face clearly bears a hint of a smile!"

"Does this projection possess consciousness? Could it be the influence of that strange Heavenly Tribulation from before? You must know, the Lin Yes clone that appeared during the strange Heavenly Tribulation also possessed the ability to speak and had consciousness!"

No one knew what was going on, except for Lin Ye, whose lips curled up slightly.

The strange change in the projection was naturally his doing.

The projections manifested by the Chongxiao Sword indeed did not have their own consciousness, but do not forget, Lin Ye had already comprehended the complete Chongxiao Sword Intent and had just walked out of that Trial Grounds.

Therefore, his connection to the Chongxiao Sword had not been completely severed.

Manipulating it a little was the simplest thing imaginable.

He did this simply because Lin Ye did not want to let Xie Changsheng continue to show off; since the outcome was the same regardless, it was better to just let Xie Changsheng face the last one directly.

Others didn't know what was going on, except for Liu Qingxian, whose beautiful eyes held a hint of inexplicable meaning.

Clearly, she, being by Lin Ye's side, had already sensed what Lin Ye had done, but she did not say anything, instead letting Lin Ye do as he pleased.

Inside the sky screen at this moment.

Looking at the Lin Ye standing before him, Xie Changsheng, after a brief moment of stunned silence, recovered his soaring Battle Intent!

He was there precisely to prove that he was stronger than Lin Ye.

Now that the Lin Ye projection had stepped out first, it actually saved a lot of trouble; at the very least, it could reduce unnecessary consumption, and he just needed to use all his means against the Lin Ye projection.

By then, the entire Sect would know that although he, Xie Changsheng, had always been in the Scripture Pavilion, his Sword Intent was absolutely not weaker than anyone else's.

Even this so-called Sword Son!!!

Boom!!!

The rosy light on Xie Changsheng's body erupted, and waves of light halos spread in all directions, turning into a screen of light that covered the heavens and earth.

Various phenomena soared into the sky, and a massive ancient tree pierced through the heavens and earth behind him.

Above the firmament, auspicious signs appeared continuously, dazzling and resplendent, as if some Supreme treasure had descended to the world.

Xie Changsheng raised the sword of rosy light high, and the Void Realm was fractured by the splashing Sword Qi.

"Today, I will prove that in the Dao of the sword, I am the one who can walk to the very end."

Xie Changsheng said this with an indifferent tone, and then the raised sword of rosy light fell straight towards the Lin Ye projection.

Swoosh!!!

The entire world seemed to be split in two, and all sorts of phenomena, as well as the light of the sun, moon, and stars, were all obscured by the rosy light.

This was no longer power that a Saint could wield; within that erupting rosy light, there was clearly a hint of the power of Law. Saints comprehend Concept, while Supreme beings possess Law.

Law is above Concept.

Therefore, with this sword strike, Xie Changsheng had already exceeded the power of a Saint.

Rumble!!!

The entire world was shaking crazily, and some stars that were relatively close were directly shattered by this Sword Qi, with pieces of stellar wreckage drifting into the Universe.

The great star within the Trial Grounds was directly split in two; the earth cracked, the firmament crumbled, the Void Realm collapsed, and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was constantly ravaging everything in the world, the vitality of the entire great star being completely severed.

Outside, the crowd, feeling the might of this sword strike, all gasped.

They knew that it was Lin Ye's projection, and even if it died in the Trial Grounds, nothing would really happen, but what if the Dao Heart of this invincible Prodigy was affected?

Wang Jianyi even slapped his thigh violently, his face full of regret.

If he had known it would be like this, he would never have let Xie Changsheng participate in any trial.

Xie Changsheng was certainly a top-tier Prodigy, but for the entire Heavenly Sword Sect, Lin Ye was an extremely important existence, the level of importance even exceeding that of him, the Sect Master!

Therefore, Lin Ye's Dao Heart must absolutely not be damaged.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianyi came to Lin Ye's side and cautiously said: "Sword Son, do not worry about the matters in the trial; after all, that is just a projection manifested by the Chongxiao Sword."

"No matter how powerful that Xie Changsheng is, if he were to face your true self, he would have no chance of winning."
