Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele

As the True Dragon underwent its Thunder Tribulation, the area it covered was so vast that no one knew how many people were caught up in it. A Golden Crow was sent flying by a single dragon tail sweep; someone using Dharma Idol Embodiment was rammed by dragon horns; a Sun Chasing Clan member was struck by the Thunder Tribulation until they were charred outside and tender within; a Kun Peng was electrocuted numb in the sea...

Those caught in the crossfire got angry too. Everyone was at Foundation Establishment Late Stage—who was really that much weaker than anyone else? What, were only those two allowed to have rich imaginations and pretend to be big shots here? The Dharma Idol Embodiment user and the Kun Peng exchanged glances and formed a temporary alliance.

The Dharma Idol Embodiment user grabbed the Kun Fish by the tail with both hands, spun twice on the spot, then used the momentum to swing it at the True Dragon, smashing one of the dragon's horns clean off.

Someone hoisted mountain ranges and hurled them one after another at the person controlling the Thunder Tribulation, only for bolts of heavenly lightning to blast the mountains apart, crumbling rock and splitting stone.

"Those little hills think they can hurt me... Pfft!"

A Golden Crow had actually been hidden among the mountains. Like a great sun soaring into the sky, it burned the shoulder of the person controlling the Thunder Tribulation!

Watching the youngsters fight with such dazzling flair, Jiang Li fell into thought.

Was his own fighting style too plain? He just punched people. Should he add a few tricks too? Get something like the Xuanyuan Sword to serve as a proper front? Seven Kill Dao Child desperately operated the Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele with his mind. Seven streams of Sword Intent brimming with Sha Qi cleaved through space as he shouted, "Heaven gave birth to all things and mankind, yet mankind has not a single thing to return to Heaven—kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!"

Seven Kill Dao Child liked the Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele the most and often collected legends related to it. Thus, the Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele he imagined possessed immense power, like a genuine immortal artifact.

Imagination was also founded on one's own understanding. He had only heard of the might of Tribulation Stage great powers, yet did not know how one could break through to the Tribulation Stage. He could only imagine himself as an Body Integration Realm Cultivator who had just entered the realm, roughly on the same level as Xuan'ai Daoist—with plenty of exaggeration mixed in. Therefore, he could not unleash the true power of the Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele. Even so, an Body Integration Realm Cultivator wielding an immortal artifact was still terrifying.

"Li Fugui, who are you trying to impress? You really think you're Seven Kill Daoist?" Qin Luan mocked from the side. Rather than imagining wildly, he continuously envisioned what things would be like after his Core Formation, what sort of Golden Core would suit him best.

In that respect alone, he surpassed everyone present.

Hearing Qin Luan still address him by his mundane name, Seven Kill Dao Child was furious. But when he saw that Qin Luan was only at the Golden Core Stage, he calmed down again. As a great Body Integration Realm Cultivator, why should he stoop to arguing with someone at the Golden Core Stage?

He casually swung out a strand of killing Sword Intent, intending to sever Qin Luan's troublesome tongue!

"Seven Kill Dao Child, how dare you!" Song Ying gave a sharp cry and threw out an illusory Green Lotus, blocking the Sword Intent.

Jiang Li's expression turned strange, because Song Ying was now dressed in the daoist robes of the Red Dust Pure Land and wielded the intent of the Green Lotus as a weapon. She looked very much like the Pure Heart Saintess.

Song Ying did indeed admire the Pure Heart Saintess. Thus, in the dream, she had taken on the appearance of the Pure Heart Saintess. But since she had never seen the Pure Heart Saintess's face, she could only cover her lovely features with a veil, adding an air of mystery.

"Heh, what is there for me to fear!" Facing Song Ying at the Body Integration Realm, Seven Kill Dao Child became serious. Today, he would definitely cut off Qin Luan's tongue. Even if the Human Emperor came, he could not stop him—that was what he said! The Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele blazed with light, and Sword Intent streaked across millions of miles. The True Dragon, which was grappling with others nearby, lost several dragon scales from merely being grazed by it. The Hundred Thousand Mountains were cleaved in two at the waist, their peaks separated from their foothills.

Even the stray Sword Intent possessed such power; one could well imagine the might of the Sword Intent Song Ying and Qin Luan faced directly.

Song Ying used layer upon layer of Green Lotuses to protect them both, but it was not truly wielded by the Pure Heart Saintess herself, and its defense was limited. In the end, she was defeated and sent flying by the Seven Kill Sword Intent.

Fortunately, the Green Lotuses had protected them. Otherwise, Qin Luan would have been minced into pulp by the boundless Sword Intent.

Jiang Li dissolved the impact force on Qin Luan and Song Ying with spiritual energy, allowing them to land safely.

Seeing that Jiang Li had saved them, Qin Luan and Song Ying realized that he was the Human Emperor and hurriedly bowed, thanking him for saving their lives.

Jiang Li waved a hand. "It doesn't count as saving your lives. No one can die in a dream."

Then he thought for a moment and said, "But between life and death lie both great terror and great opportunity. Perhaps it would be good to let you experience it once?"

Song Ying hurriedly refused, while Qin Luan looked eager to give it a try, as though he truly wanted to experience death.

"Haha, just kidding. Better not try something like that recklessly."

"Quite the temper you've got." Jiang Li turned around again and said to Seven Kill Dao Child with a smile.

"Jiang Human Emperor." Seven Kill Dao Child gave a slight bow. His attitude was not particularly respectful. "I merely wished to test my own potential."

Seven Kill Dao Child had been the fifth to awaken. He knew Qin Luan, Li Litong, and Song Ying, so it was not difficult for him to deduce that the transformed Jiang Li was the Human Emperor.

Jiang Li sighed and returned to his original appearance. "I shouldn't have told Dream Senior the truth. Well? You want to spar with me?"

Jiang Li could see the eagerness in Seven Kill Dao Child's eyes.

"Please instruct me, Human Emperor."

Seven Kill Dao Child took up his stance.

Seven Kill Dao Child was now at the Body Integration Realm, held the Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele in his hand, and had easily defeated Song Ying and Qin Luan. He immediately felt that no one was his match, and the urge to challenge Jiang Li arose in his heart.

Jiang Li was not offended. Young people being unaware of the height of heaven and the depth of earth was normal. When he had been in the Foundation Establishment Realm, if he encountered such a situation, he too would have dared challenge the previous Human Emperor.

Besides, compared to everyone treating him respectfully, he preferred being challenged.

The Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele trembled slightly. The Sword Intent it released sliced even the air to pieces, and in an instant, a vacuum formed around Seven Kill Dao Child.

Fortunately, Seven Kill Dao Child was now at the Body Integration Realm and could complete an internal cycle without exchanging oxygen with the outside world. Otherwise, he would have suffocated to death himself.

The Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele transformed into seven immortal swords, hovering vertically around Seven Kill Dao Child. He gripped one of them and shouted, "Kill!"

This sword strike produced no phenomenon whatsoever, yet Qin Luan, standing nearby, saw that Jiang Li clearly had not moved forward, but was nonetheless continuously drawing closer to Seven Kill Dao Child!

He immediately understood and cried out, "This strike severed the space between Seven Kill Dao Child and Jiang Human Emperor, causing the distance between them to keep shrinking!"

What an unimaginably sharp blade. Qin Luan knew little of the Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele. He did not know that it could transform into seven immortal swords, much less the legend that it had cut away a corner of the Immortal World!

Jiang Li neither dodged nor evaded the strike. He extended his thumb and forefinger and gently pinched the Seven Kill Immortal Sword, as though he were holding a goose feather.

Seven Kill Dao Child's eyes widened. He could not believe what he was seeing.

By his reckoning, even if he could not injure Jiang Human Emperor, he should at least make him feel some pressure. How could he have caught the immortal sword so easily!

This was an immortal sword formed from the Heaven Intercepting Seven Kill Stele! "Hmm, not bad. An ordinary Body Integration Realm Cultivator couldn't block that strike, but it would be difficult for it to injure a Tribulation Stage Cultivator, let alone me."

Jiang Li commented. With a light exertion of his fingers and a casual toss, he flung both the immortal sword and the stunned Seven Kill Dao Child behind him.
