522: Chapter 522 Divine Soul Treasure

[You watch these scenes, your face turning livid, your fists clenched tight.]

[But there is nothing you can do—you aren't yet powerful enough to prevent a Body Integration Peak expert from even having a chance to strike.]

[You take a deep breath to calm your emotions, then with a thought, the Qi within your body begins to circulate rapidly.]

[Elder Qi's Law Domain surges toward you like a tide—yet it automatically parts three zhang away from you.]

[Like water crashing against a reef, like a gale hitting a barrier.]

[That Law Domain tries desperately to press forward, but no matter what, it cannot break through that invisible boundary.]

[Inside your body, the Spotless Sword Body hums softly.]

[Others cannot hear that sound, but every sword in this world can.]

[They are responding, they are worshipping.]

[Immediately after, the power of the Dao Patterns begins to flow.]

[Golden patterns emerge beneath your skin, flickering as if alive. With every pulse, a strand of Sword Intent surges from your body.]

[That wisp of Sword Dao Origin power is now completely activated.]

[It connects heaven and earth.]

[You close your eyes, yet you can "see"—]

[Within a million-mile radius, every Law, every trace of Spiritual Qi, and every wisp of energy is within your perception.]

[Elder Qi's Law Domain is still frantically clashing against you.]

[Strands of Law Power whip toward you like chains, only to be gently flicked away three zhang in front of you.]

[The Law of Gold is severed by the Sword Intent.]

[The Law of Fire is extinguished by the Sword Intent.]

[The Space Law is frozen by the Sword Intent.]

[The Time Law is ignored by the Sword Intent.]

[Nearly a thousand Laws take turns attacking.]

[But before you, they are like moths to a flame; as many as come, that many are extinguished.]

[You open your eyes, your gaze as calm as water.]

[You stand there, clearly right before his eyes, yet seemingly independent of this world.]

[Elder Qi's pupils contract slightly.]

["A bit interesting."]

[You only sneer, speaking indifferently:]

["One breath."]

["Within one breath, I will surely kill you."]

["You only have one breath's chance. Use whatever means you have."]

[Before your voice even fades, you give a low roar:]

["Four—Symbols—Sealing—Heaven!"]

[In an instant, four sword lights shoot out from your body.]

[immortal slaying sword (Ice), immortal slaying sword (Wind), immortal slaying sword (Thunder), immortal slaying sword (Fire)—]

[The four immortal slaying swords guard the four directions.]

[Above the hilts, four Divine Beast phantoms boom into existence.]

[Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise.]

[The Four Symbols Divine Beasts roar toward the heavens.]

[A massive barrier instantly envelops this area.]

[Elder Qi's expression changes drastically.]

[He looks up at the four swords, his pupils shrinking violently.]

["The... the immortal slaying sword?"]

["So it's you!"]

[He clearly knows the prophecy from the Lake of Reincarnation regarding the Liu Clan Immortal Family.]

[The person who would destroy the Liu Clan.]

[Is standing right in front of him now.]

[His face becomes more solemn than ever before.]

[But he has no way back.]

[This space has been sealed; there is nowhere to run.]

[He raises his hand and summons a Spirit Treasure.]

[It is a bronze bell, the size of a palm, its surface covered in dense runes.]

[This is the rumored soul suppressing bell.]

[When the bell rings once, the Divine Soul trembles.]

[When it rings three times, the Divine Soul shatters.]

[Elder Qi flicks his finger.]

["Clang—"]

[The bell tolls.]

[It sounds melodious, but when it enters the ears, it feels like needles pricking.]

[Invisible sound waves explode outward from him, and wherever they pass, ripples visible to the naked eye appear in the Void Realm.]

[You feel a buzzing in your head, as if you've been struck hard by a heavy hammer.]

[Your vision goes dark for an instant.]

[But it is only for an instant.]

[Inside you, that wisp of Sword Origin power flows gently like a clear spring, instantly isolating the sound of the bell.]

[You snap back to your senses, inwardly surprised.]

[This old fellow really has some skill.]

[The Realm gap is right there—he is at the Body Integration Peak, while you are only at Void Refining.]

[The Divine Soul is his strength and your weakness.]

[If not for the protection of the Origin power, that strike just now would have been enough to make you suffer.]

[You narrow your eyes at him, becoming more cautious.]

[But that was all.]

[With the Origin power present, he cannot hurt you.]

[Elder Qi's expression changes, and he flicks his finger again.]

["Clang— Clang—"]

[Two bell tolls, each more urgent than the last.]

[The sound waves stack in the air, turning into a visible shockwave that sweeps toward you like a giant wave.]

[Wherever it passes, the Void Realm shatters inch by inch, revealing pitch-black cracks.]

[At the edges of the cracks, eerie lights flicker, as if something is about to crawl out.]

[Even before the shockwave arrives, the pressure is already suffocating.]

[You remain motionless.]

[The shockwave hits three feet in front of you—and stops.]

[Like hitting an invisible wall.]

[That wall didn't even show a single ripple.]

[Just like that, it effortlessly blocked the sound wave that was enough to shatter the Void Realm.]

[Elder Qi's pupils shrink.]

[He stares at you, finally realizing that this bell is also useless against you.]

[He doesn't hesitate, raising his hand to put away the soul suppressing bell.]

[With a flip of his hand, he summons another item.]

[It is an ancient bronze mirror, the size of a palm, its surface so dark it seems capable of absorbing all light.]

[soul devouring mirror.]

[One of the Heavenly Palace's ten great Spirit Treasures, specializing in the Divine Soul.]

[Whomever it shines upon, their Divine Soul will be sucked in and trapped within the mirror, never to be reincarnated.]

[He holds the mirror and shines it at you.]

[A faint light flashes on the mirror's surface.]

[You only feel your vision go dark.]

[Not the darkness of the sky, but the darkness of consciousness.]

[It feels as if something has reached into your mind, hooked your Divine Soul, and is pulling it out with all its might.]

[You can even feel your Divine Soul leaving your Physical Body.]

[But in the next instant.]

[The Origin power inside you once again protects its master on its own.]

[An invisible Sword Intent slashes out from between your brows, fast and fierce.]

["Crack—"]

[As if something has been severed.]

[The light of the soul devouring mirror instantly dims, and a tiny crack even appears on the mirror's surface.]

[Elder Qi's hand shakes, and he almost fails to hold it steady.]

[He looks down at the crack on the mirror's surface, and his expression completely changes.]

[Two Spirit Treasures.]

[One was ignored, the other was damaged by a counter-attack.]

[He takes a deep breath, his gaze becoming more solemn than ever.]

[He is very clear on the advantages and disadvantages of Realms—your weakness is the Divine Soul.]

[Logically, any one of his Divine Soul Spirit Treasures should have been enough to make you suffer.]

[But what is the reality?]

[The soul suppressing bell couldn't shake you.]

[The soul devouring mirror was instead slashed with a crack by your Sword Intent.]

[He stares at the tiny crack on the mirror, completely stunned.]

[How could this be?]

[He has lived for thousands of years; what scenes has he not witnessed?]

[But this scene before him, he truly has never seen.]

[A Void Refining Cultivator, standing still and letting him strike, yet he actually can't hurt him?]
