70: Sword Master of Heaven and Earth
The Heavenly Mountain in the Five Elements Realm is extremely famous.
Throughout history, many world-renowned, epoch-making battles have erupted on its peak, adding a touch of legend to it.
And today.
That monstrous Devilish Qi and vast Sword Qi seemed intent on submerging this towering Heavenly Mountain that scrapes the stars, and the firmament itself was forcibly cracked open.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, even the mighty Mahayana Stage Cultivators dared not linger, fearing that one careless moment would drag them into the fray, resulting in their Souls being shattered on the spot.
They retreated to a safe zone, craning their necks to look up at the sky; only those Cultivators with exceptional eyesight could vaguely discern two terrifying figures turning into streams of light, colliding and crossing paths intensely.
The Divine Might of their techniques roared like thunder.
The slaughter had reached a white-hot state.
"The strength of these two is likely not inferior to ordinary Immortals; I am far, far inferior!" a Mahayana Stage Cultivator sighed in admiration.
"Sect Master, how is it going? Who will win?" some Sword Sect Protectors with slightly inferior cultivation could not help but ask.
"The situation is bad!"
Sword Absolute Dust furrowed her brows, her gaze burning, not daring to let her focus waver for even a moment.
Outsiders might think the two were evenly matched, but at her Realm, she could clearly feel that Di Yan had already fallen into a disadvantage.
"Devil Lord, where exactly is your limit?"
Many Righteous Path experts felt a chill in their hearts.
Every time they thought they had the advantage, the Devil Lord would always overturn their perceptions; why could such a Heaven-Defying Prodigy exist in this world!
"Ah, is this your limit?"
Su Quan revealed a mocking smile.
His demonic sword probed out, traceless like an antelope hanging its horns, and three overlapping sword shadows collided with Di Yan's golden sword shadow.
"With only this much ability, how dare you draw your sword against your Revered Master?"
"Damn it!"
Di Yan retreated three steps, her pretty face pale, her breathing disordered and rapid.
Only then did she realize that she had underestimated Su Quan's strength.
Even while he was still using a sword, employing the same sword techniques and Dao methods, she was no match for him; if the Devil Lord chose to strike with full force, she would likely fall within thirty rounds.
What to do, what to do!
Beads of sweat the size of beans oozed from her forehead.
For the first time, she smelled the crisis of death.
A Major Achievement in Ruthless Sword Heart was not enough; unless... she could achieve a Breakthrough to Perfection.
"You dare to be distracted while fighting me? You must not know how to write the word 'death'!"
Su Quan suddenly thrust out another sword.
The sword Concept was not overbearing, but combined with that deep, lonely, and dark demonic intent, it was as terrifying as the collapse of the heavens.
Di Yan failed to dodge in time, and a hideous wound was grazed onto her right waist; the Devilish Qi remained on her flesh, eroding into her body like maggots on a bone; the longer this dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for her.
The scales of balance were instantly broken, and a few more bloody wounds were added to the young girl's delicate body.
Su Quan's expression was cold, and he struck without mercy: "Today, in front of the whole world, I will purge the sect!"
At this moment, if someone could stand from a god's perspective, they would discover that his demonic sword, while appearing brutal, was actually cautiously avoiding the girl's vital points; every time a crisis arose, it seemed as if he were forcing out her greatest potential.
Are you actually the Daughter of Destiny or not?!
The law that a Breakthrough must erupt at the moment of life and death—why didn't it happen to you!
Su Quan was speechless from the fight!
The Cultivators below let out bursts of exclamations; now Di Yan's defeat was already very obvious, it was just a matter of time.
"The Devil Lord is the Devil Lord; he is not someone a junior can provoke!"
"It's a pity. With the Sword Master's talent, if given another hundred years, she would surely be able to behead the Devil Lord!"
"Heh, do you think the Devil Lord will give her a chance? According to what I know, among those in the world who have dared to strike at the Devil Lord, no one has ever survived!"
"..."
Sword Absolute Dust exhaled a turbid breath and said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoists, the Sword Body cannot be allowed to meet with disaster; everyone, prepare to strike!"
"I understand; I have even brought the quasi-Immortal Artifact!" Wu Qiong licked her lips, erupting with sharp Battle Intent.
The Hunyuan Immortal Sect Leader, Yuan Meng, was the same.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend; the Sword Body was the only hope they could see to slay the Devil Lord.
The demonic sword slashed down magnificently, and Su Quan was frantically stacking buffs.
"Boring. It is rare for me to show mercy; let me send you to reunite with the entire Di family!"
This sword strike held no mercy, thrusting toward the girl's heart.
Di Yan's jade sword was knocked away, her defenses wide open, and her purple pupils reflected the cold sword tip; her heart ached faintly, as if it were about to be torn apart from a distance.
At this moment, her Divine Soul went blank, and only one sentence echoed in her mind.
"Send you to reunite with the entire Di family!"
"Family reunion!"
"Reunion!"
Intense regret, anger, unwillingness, and other heavy emotions rushed straight to the crown of her head, like lighting a lamp in a muddled and confused spiritual sense, and cyan, illusory flames rose from her delicate body.
The wounds healed rapidly, and the exhausted Spiritual Qi recovered.
Brilliant Sword Intent severed the firmament, stinging everyone's eyes so they could not open them.
Su Quan's eyes narrowed: It finally came, didn't it?
"This is—this is the true form of the Sword Body!" Sword Absolute Dust was filled with shock.
She had only seen the true form manifested by the Indestructible Sword Body once before, on the Ancestral Grand-Mistress of the Sword Sect; that was a method that only an Immortal could wield, a terrifying Divine Ability that was truly undying and indestructible.
"Devil Lord, your arrogance will cost you your life today!" Two cyan lotus flowers appeared in Di Yan's beautiful eyes, and a powerful Aura suppressed the heavens, actually faintly overshadowing that monstrous Devilish Qi.
"The biggest mistake you made was that you shouldn't have wantonly humiliated me!"
She waved her jade sword, and the cyan Sword Intent inverted the universe, with power dozens of times stronger than before.
"Only then is it somewhat interesting!"
Su Quan licked his lips excitedly, the pressure suddenly increasing.
A long howl resounded through the ages.
The erupting monstrous Devilish Qi collided fiercely with the cyan sea of swords.
The entire Five Elements Realm trembled violently.
The earth collapsed, living beings perished, mountains crumbled, and tsunamis raged.
It was as if the world were about to be destroyed.
The two fought intensely again on the peak of the Heavenly Mountain, unleashing techniques that dazzled everyone; they fought from the sky to the ground, and from the ground back to the sky, and because their speed was too fast, they left behind countless entangled afterimages, cycling between dissipating and appearing.
"Great! After Di Yan manifested the Sword Body, the Devil Lord is no longer a match for her; today, he will surely fall here!" Sword Absolute Dust clenched her fists in excitement.
At this moment, Su Quan had already given up using his sword and was instead using his most proficient physical techniques.
Even so, he was still in a suppressed state.
The Demonic Technique was driven to the limit, and the True Essence within his body was flowing away at an exaggerated speed; conversely, Di Yan, after Awakening the true form of the Sword Body, had mastered all kinds of sword techniques, and her strength was improving every moment.
Her beautiful eyes were icy, and the jade sword in her hand thrust out a sky full of sword energy; the surging Sword Intent was stronger wave by wave.
A smear of fresh blood sprayed into the firmament.
The Devil Lord was injured!
That Devil Lord, who was invincible in the world and had suppressed the Five Elements Realm for thousands of years, was actually injured!
The Cultivators of the world were in an uproar.
"Those who dare to call themselves Devil Lord shall be attacked by all Righteous Path Cultivators of the world!"
Sword Absolute Dust waved her fists, her roar resounding across the hundred-thousand-mile wilderness.
She and the Devil Lord had a blood feud that would not end until death; she dreamed of the other party falling.
Driven by her, the Sword Sect sisters and others in the Righteous Path Alliance followed with roars: "Those who dare to call themselves Devil Lord shall be attacked by all Righteous Path Cultivators of the world!"
The Aura was like thunder, shaking the firmament until it rustled.
There were also countless Cultivators gathered here; although the vast majority of them had never had any intersection with the Devil Lord, under the tireless propaganda of the Righteous Path Alliance over these years, they did not mind beating a drowning dog to let this big Devil Head fall.
"Those who dare to call themselves Devil Lord shall be attacked by all Righteous Path Cultivators of the world!"
This was the common roar of the world's Cultivators.
It represented the will of an era.
With a Dao Heart as strong as Di Yan's, even her pretty face showed a moment of fear; she could feel that amidst those roars, with the blessing of the world's will, her strength had taken another leap.
"Those who follow the Dao get much help, while those who lose the Dao get little!"
Di Yan raised her jade sword high, the heaven-reaching sword energy stirred the clouds, and she slashed down with a disdainful posture: "This is my Dao; my Dao is stronger than yours!"
Hum—
The brilliant Dharma runes gathered in the Devil Lord's palm were forcibly shattered, and blood stained the long sky.
He stood bathed in blood, his Aura withered, yet his spine was held straight; he raised his head and glared, as if he wanted to overturn this sky, but it only added a touch of the desolation of a defeated hero.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Devil Lord was no longer a match for the Sword Master.
"Could it be that the era belonging to the Devil Lord is truly coming to an end?"
Some people had complex expressions.
History is like this; the rise of a new king is always accompanied by the setting of the old king.
"I have lived for over three hundred thousand years, and this is the first time I have seen such a remarkable Heavenly Prodigy as the Sword Master; I am afraid that even at that Ascension Assembly, she would be able to take the top spot!"
"The world's number one under a hundred years old; commendable, lamentable!"
Di Yan's blood-dripping sword tip pointed straight at Su Quan's head; she thought her Ruthless Sword Heart was cultivated to be indestructible.
"You have lost; surrender now, and I can spare your life!"
However, truly seeing that broad back from her childhood memories, which seemed as powerful as an omnipotent Revered Master, showing such a miserable state today, her heart still felt a bit blocked.
For a moment, she suddenly did not want to care about any hatred.
Regardless of whether he had ulterior motives, he had at least given her the happiest twenty years of her life.
"Yes, this Revered Master has lost!"
Su Quan grinned, his white teeth stained red with blood; he stared blankly, looking at the deep night sky, feeling somewhat emotional: "But you have spent so many years with this Revered Master; do you still not understand this Revered Master's character?"
"This Revered Master has been invincible in the world for a lifetime and has never bowed his head to anyone; today, there is only a Devil Lord who dies in battle, not a Devil Lord who submits!"
He roared maniacally at the sky, and illusory ghost flames rose from his whole body; that was his essence blood burning.
"Today, this Revered Master will teach you one more time!"
"What is the Dao?"
"The Dao is not divided by strength; it is simply the will that you hold onto in your heart, in your Divine Soul Origin, and in the depths of your Bloodline!"
"What if the whole world is my enemy, what if everyone attacks me? As the Devil Lord, I should suppress all enemies!"
Speaking of this, Su Quan's body seemed to burn up, becoming distorted and illusory.
His eyes gathered into a blood-colored vortex, and the monstrous Devilish Qi covered the sky.
A black-robed Devil Lord Dharma image over ten thousand feet tall manifested behind him; his appearance caused the stars to tremble and the sun and moon to lose their light, as if welcoming the Dominator of this world.
"Oh no, the Devil Lord is going all out!"
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
The watching Cultivators felt the chill of death.
Even though they were a hundred thousand miles away, they still felt cold all over, and their Souls were frozen.
Above the firmament.
Di Yan's pretty face had no fear, and there was a brief loss of focus in her beautiful eyes.
"Is this your Dao?"
She seemed to have grasped something, yet it was as if she had grasped nothing; it was a mysterious feeling that perhaps could only be left to time to comprehend.
Now, her gaze fell on the young man's towering Dharma image, and she shook her head with some disappointment.
"I thought you would use that peerless Divine Ability you never taught me; if it is just this, it is somewhat boring!"
At this moment, Su Quan had driven his magic power to the limit, and the Dharma image shadow behind him was extremely solid; he could lift the sky and pluck stars with his palm, and with a palm down, he could annihilate all things.
"Devil Lord of Heaven and Earth, who can stop me!"
Facing the sky-covering demonic palm that was slapping down, with infinite runes flashing in the palm, there was an ultimate destructive Concept.
The strong hurricane made Di Yan's dark hair dance wildly.
Her pair of purple pupils also lit up, and the cyan flames covering her delicate body burned more and more fiercely, and her delicate body also became illusory.
"Very well, today I will use my strongest move to send you on your way!"
A ten-thousand-foot Dharma image shadow wrapped in white robes manifested behind her, holding an Immortal Artifact sword in its hand; that heaven-reaching and earth-shattering terrifying Sword Intent even pierced through the firmament, shocking countless Chaos.
Finally, as the demonic palm struck before her.
Di Yan's beautiful eyes became extremely cold and resolute.
Whoosh—
Di Yan struck with her sword, and the Sword Master Dharma image behind her also struck with its sword.
In an instant, it was like the beginning of Chaos, the inversion of the universe; the Karma and Reincarnation of all things in the world were hidden within this one sword, and countless swords of Sword Cultivators shattered in response.
"Sword Master of Heaven and Earth, who can stop me!"
