Ten thousand weapons descended, and a piercing shriek instantly rang out. Yet Ye Xuankong's body did not budge in the slightest. The fearsome vortex of divine weapons could not even shake him.
A wisp of sword light tore through the air. Ye Xuankong raised his hand and closed his five fingers, catching the sword light between them. It could not advance an inch.
Seeing this, Ning Xuanyuan's expression shifted slightly. Although Ye Xuankong had suppressed his cultivation realm, that meant nothing.
His realm could be suppressed, but his comprehension of the rules of the Great Dao and the origins of the laws could not. Raising one's realm had never been a matter of piling up spiritual power.
Ye Xuankong was a Saint Realm expert. Even if he had only just broken through, his comprehension of the various rules and origins was already profound. His strength far surpassed the Soul Sea Realm.
"Is this what you call learning it?" Ye Xuankong pressed his fingers together, crushing the wisp of sword light. Perhaps because of his state, his voice was no longer warm and gentle, but exceptionally cold. "If so, I'm very disappointed."
"Disappointed? I'll fucking show you what despair is!" At that moment, Ning Xuanyuan's inner ferocity was roused. His right hand fell to his side, and the long saber in his left slashed out with force.
Blade Art · One Blade Severs the Void!
A wisp of saber light cleaved through the void and came slashing down.
The sword moved with lightness and agility; the saber favored fierce, overwhelming force!
Returning to the original, uncarved state, the greatest skill appeared artless!
As the saber slashed out, a piercing saber cry rang through the Heaven and Earth Realm. In that instant, even the Asura Emperor had the illusion that Ning Xuanyuan had severed this entire world with a single slash!
Ye Xuankong's gaze flickered. He reached out a hand, and an ancient character of slaughter flew out, blocking the attack before him.
The saber light fell, and the ancient character shattered, but the saber light was extinguished along with it. A strange look flashed through Ye Xuankong's eyes. The next moment, he stepped forward, and streaks of blood-red light shot out from behind him.
Those streaks of blood-red light transformed into illusory asuras, surging forward with boundless murderous ferocity and enveloping the heavens!
Ning Xuanyuan spun around, and in an instant, endless sword light burst forth, piercing the Heaven and Earth Realm!
Sword Art · Hundred Swords Without End!
The countless sword lights clearly thrust out at the same time, yet they contained two entirely different conceptions and forces. One forward, one reversed; one flowing, one counterflowing!
The two utterly opposing sword forces intertwined, forming an immensely fearsome vortex of the sword Dao!
"Boom!"
The next moment, the sword Dao vortex collided head-on with the illusory asura. To everyone's shock, the asura appeared insubstantial, but was actually indestructible. Its translucent body actually blocked the fearsome sword Dao vortex.
Yet this powerful technique did not affect Ning Xuanyuan. His sword fell and his saber rose, sending ten streaks of saber light slashing through the air toward Ye Xuankong from different directions.
Blade Art · Ten Blades Break the Limit!
The ten streaks of saber light were inconceivably fast, each honed to the utmost sharpness. Wherever they passed, the void was sliced apart; nothing could withstand them! On the ground, they carved out terrifying saber scars that plunged beyond sight!
"Crack!"
This time, the illusory asura was shockingly shattered by the saber light. Ye Xuankong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the Slaughter Ancient Characters around him flashed wildly with blood-red light. Another illusory asura appeared before him.
Yet Ning Xuanyuan raised saber and sword together, as if bringing the Dao of saber and sword to its utmost. The weapons left his hands as his left formed a saber art and his right formed a sword seal. Saber light and sword shadows slashed wildly.
At that moment, the void around Ye Xuankong seemed to be buried and destroyed by endless divine saber and sword light. The illusory asuras blocking his path shattered and exploded one after another.
"Sword and Saber Domain!" Brilliant light flashed wildly in the Asura Emperor's eyes, and his mind trembled. This boy had only just obtained the inheritance, yet had he already comprehended it to such a level?
Taking a deep breath, the Asura Emperor calmed the turbulent emotions in his heart, but he could not hide the strange look in his eyes. Perhaps limited by his cultivation, Ning Xuanyuan could not yet unleash the full might of the Evil Emperor Inheritance, but at this moment, his combat strength had already far surpassed the Soul Sea Realm.
Who was Ye Xuankong? A Saint Realm expert!
The Asura Emperor knew his strength all too well. In fact, although Ye Xuankong rarely returned to the Asura Domain, the Asura Emperor personally tested him every time he did.
Even though Ye Xuankong had suppressed his cultivation and was defending far more than he attacked, Ning Xuanyuan had fought him to this extent. To be honest, it had already given the Asura Emperor a tremendous surprise.
"Suppress him a little more." The Asura Emperor's voice sounded directly in Ye Xuankong's mind. Ye Xuankong showed no change in expression, but he had long understood the Asura Emperor's intention.
There was no suspense about the outcome. The gulf in strength spanning three major realms could not be bridged by anything. This battle was the Asura Emperor's final test of Ning Xuanyuan before he entered the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, and it was also meant for Ye Xuankong to force out Ning Xuanyuan's true limits.
Ning Xuanyuan now seemed to have entered a strange state. He continued moving forward as divine weapons descended from the heavens once more. Piercing cracks rang out in succession, as if an opening had been torn, and the illusory asuras were utterly crushed. Endless divine weapons howled as though they would bury everything.
But the next moment, Ye Xuankong took a step forward. With that single step, he shockingly forced Ning Xuanyuan's offensive down. Asura figures took shape once more, this time becoming even more violent and terrifying.
The will of the rules seemed to have been infused into every asura figure. Nine Slaughter Ancient Characters were imprinted into them, pulverizing all the divine weapons that slashed down from the sky and reducing them to nothingness.
Ye Xuankong walked slowly toward Ning Xuanyuan as though strolling through a courtyard. Though he did not move quickly, he gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure, both physical and psychological.
At that moment, a storm of destruction seemed to have arisen between them. Asura figures pressed relentlessly forward through the killing blows of the countless sabers and swords, closing in step by step. Turbulent currents raged through the void between them, but no matter how fierce Ning Xuanyuan's attacks became, they could not cross the forbidden boundary by even half a step.
On the surface, Ning Xuanyuan had been suppressed. Yet both the Asura Emperor and Ye Xuankong keenly perceived that Ning Xuanyuan's Weapon Dao Intent was growing stronger and stronger.
As the divine weapons of the heavens gathered and struck, Ning Xuanyuan's presence grew ever sharper, as though nothing could withstand it. Weapon Dao Intent erupted wildly, and that sinister, unearthly air also grew stronger.
Faintly, it seemed to have reached the threshold of a limit!
"Be careful to control your strength." The Asura Emperor sent another voice transmission. He could naturally see that Ye Xuankong had been deftly maintaining the balance of the battle all along. But once Ning Xuanyuan erupted, that balance could very likely be shattered in an instant.
By now, the light of the divine weapons around Ning Xuanyuan had become dazzling to the extreme, while his presence and Weapon Dao Intent had climbed to the very limit of their limits!
"Kill!"
All of a sudden, a fierce shout burst from Ning Xuanyuan's mouth!
