116: Terrifying Chen Xuan, the sky sword breaks through the air
Under everyone's gaze,
the two Flying Swords quickly collided.
Chen Xuan's High Grade Spirit Treasure Flying Sword was instantly sent flying, soaring back dozens of meters.
In contrast, the Flying Sword wielded by Kong Jing only trembled slightly before immediately stabilizing.
In their first exchange, the difference between the two was immediately apparent.
Chen Xuan, however, showed no panic. He had merely unleashed a casual, ordinary strike to test the opponent's depth.
He wanted to see what level of attack he could achieve by relying on the formidable Tai Xu Spiritual Power combined with the High Grade Spirit Treasure Flying Sword.
The final result filled him with pleasant surprise.
The gap was not large.
If the attack power were a bit stronger, he could contend with Kong Jing.
If it were two or three points stronger, defeating him would be effortless, assuming the opponent only had that much power—though that was impossible.
Fighting across two minor Realms and still almost being evenly matched.
This caused everyone present to feel a chill in their hearts as they looked at Chen Xuan.
A thought emerged in everyone's minds: if this battle were to spread, Chen Xuan's reputation as an Immortal Reincarnate would likely be solidified.
“Glorious great sun, intent of the scorching sun, empower my sword, burn the heavens and destroy the earth!”
“Scorching Sun Sword Art, quick!”
As Chen Xuan chanted silently and quickly formed hand seals,
an extremely powerful Scorching Sun Sword Intent immediately surged from the Flying Sword he wielded.
The Flying Sword seemed to instantly transform into a great sun,
emitting scorching, dazzling light.
It was impossible to look at directly.
Its power had surged to an incredibly terrifying degree, causing Kong Jing, who was directly opposite, to feel greatly alarmed.
Jun Tianlin and the other Cultivators of the Anti-Demon Alliance at the Returning Void Realm, who had initially been smiling after Kong Jing's sword struck Chen Xuan's Flying Sword away, now all had drastically changed expressions. Many couldn't help but gasp.
“He seems to only be at the Nascent Soul Realm Middle Stage!”
Indeed!
He was only at the Nascent Soul Realm Middle Stage of Cultivation.
Yet, the power of this one sword was so formidable?
Was this Heaven-Defying?
“Force of sharp metal, shatter mountains and break Peaks, slay demons and devils, unstoppable!”
“Heavenly Sword Breaks Through the Void, quick!”
Facing Chen Xuan's powerful sword, Kong Jing immediately brought out his ultimate Sword Art.
His Flying Sword's power also greatly increased.
And with a speed far exceeding before, it attacked Chen Xuan's Scorching Sun Sword.
The two swords collided again.
A tremendous roar echoed across the sky, clearing the clouds and mist within a thousand miles after the shockwave.
After the attack collided,
the two Flying Swords also flew back towards their respective wielders.
Chen Xuan's Flying Sword was completely unharmed, but its body trembled incessantly, taking him a long time to stabilize it.
On the other side, the Flying Sword wielded by Kong Jing was in a worse state.
Its body was covered in cracks; if he hadn't continuously infused Spiritual Power to stabilize it,
the Flying Sword would probably have exploded by now.
But even without the Flying Sword exploding on the spot,
this High Grade Treasure Artifact Flying Sword was completelyWasted, beyond repair, and the cost was too high to justify.
Selling it as scrap might be better, and he could still get a considerable amount of Spirit Stone.
After all, the Materials for refining High Grade Treasure Artifacts are still rare in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation world; Artifact Refiners can melt and decompose them to extract many useful spiritual Materials for reuse.
With one strike, his Flying Sword was almost destroyed. While Kong Jing felt a pang of pain, a look of fear also appeared on his face as he looked at Chen Xuan opposite him.
What kind of monster was this?
Why was he so strong?
Previously, Kong Jing had considered himself a Prodigy Genius favored by destiny.
His Cultivation speed was extremely fast, and his combat power was unparalleled. Among those of the same Realm, he rarely met an opponent, and he could even fight across Realms.
Of course, the premise was fighting across minor Realms.
Every major Realm was a step into a new world, undergoing a qualitative change. It was rare in the Cultivation world to find existences that could fight across major Realms.
Perhaps, this Chen Family Old Ancestor Chen Xuan was such a monster.
At the Nascent Soul Realm Middle Stage, he could so easily suppress a Nascent Soul Realm Peak Cultivator like him.
Then, when his Cultivation Realm Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Realm Peak,
wouldn't even Returning Void Realm Cultivators have to weigh their own strength and worth against him?
“This sword's power exceeds the Nascent Soul Peak; it's almost comparable to a casual Spiritual Power strike from a newly entered Returning Void Realm Cultivator.”
“It's too terrifying. What kind of monster is this Chen Xuan? Why does he possess such powerful combat strength?”
“He is a Sword Cultivator, an absolute top Genius among Sword Cultivators. That sword just now contained powerful Scorching Sun Sword Intent and the force of the great sun. Coupled with his excellent Magical Artifact, a High Grade Spirit Treasure, besides these two aspects, his Cultivation Technique is also unusual, allowing him to freely wield Spirit Treasure-level Magical Artifacts, so the Spiritual Power generated must also be incredibly formidable. This Chen Xuan must have encountered an immense fortuitous opportunity.”
The greatest fortuitous opportunity is likely his identity as an Immortal Reincarnate.
And he has awakened his past life memories, cultivating supreme Cultivation Techniques from the Immortal Realm beyond their comprehension.
And that powerful Sword Intent and sword force.
At that level, even a Sword Cultivator with excellent talent would not be able to reach it without thousands or tens of thousands of years of comprehension.
This Chen Family Old Ancestor's Sword Cultivator talent must be unique throughout eternity.
Perhaps, it also came from his memories of his previous life?
Immortal Reincarnate.
That should be the best explanation for Chen Xuan.
None other.
Innate advantages, no one can do anything about them.
“This Chen Xuan is probably a True Immortal. We have already completely offended him this time. If we don't kill him, there will be endless troubles in the future.”
“Yes, we must kill him while he is still weak, grind his Physical Body to dust, and annihilate his Divine Soul. We absolutely cannot give him another chance to Reincarnation.”
“But how do we kill him? He's so strong! And that hidden sword strike that can even kill a Returning Void Realm Late Stage Cultivator—who among us can block it?”
Even though the slogans were shouted loudly,
still no one was willing to be the first to step forward.
Just as the Anti-Demon Alliance members were fiercely discussing through spiritual transmissions, Chen Xuan's Flying Sword moved again.
It was still the Scorching Sun Sword Intent.
A glorious great sun descended from the sky, charging straight towards Kong Jing.
After Kong Jing put away his nearly shattered High Grade Treasure Artifact Flying Sword, he switched to a backup High Grade Treasure Artifact Flying Sword.
Now, seeing Chen Xuan wield his Flying Sword to attack him again,
he was immediately greatly alarmed.
Spiritual Power within his body surged frantically into the Flying Sword as if it were free.
He also once again unleashed his ultimate Sword Art from before.
Heavenly Sword Breaks Through the Void.
The Flying Sword immediately carried an incredibly sharp force, slashing towards the rapidly falling great sun in the sky.
However, the power within it was truly somewhat inferior compared to the power contained within that great sun.
Kong Jing's eyes were filled with horror and fear.
In all his years of Cultivation, he had never seen such a terrifying Prodigy.
Both were Sword Cultivators.
Why was the difference between them so vast?
And he was two minor Realms higher than the opponent.
“This is the true Prodigy!”
After sighing in his heart, a deep sense of desolation couldn't help but appear in Kong Jing's eyes.
He could already foresee the outcome of this next attack collision.
His High Grade Treasure Artifact Flying Sword,
was destined to be utterly destroyed.
This was the naked truth of the disparity between them!
Lamentable, regrettable!
