The First Form of the Mysterious Heavenly Void Star Great Slaughter Sword Scripture! Sword Shines Through the Heavenly Stars!

This is the true original version of Blood Radiance Flying Star! How could Li Fan not know the new technique of the Beichen Sword Sect that he and Xuan Tian had figured out together!

Indeed, the true sword techniques of the Sword Ancestor Xuantian consist of only five forms, all of which are basic sword shapes. However, this does not mean that the Xuan Tian Sword Ancestor would not create a set of memorized sword techniques like the Emei Sword Ancestor; rather, it simply means that there is no need for it.

Back in the day, how many people could withstand Sword Ancestor's lightning triple strike? One trick was all it took to dominate, so why did he need to develop those Blood Sea Sword Howl and Heaven and Earth Twin Dragon Sword techniques to bully weaker opponents? Some people simply enjoy killing others, not torturing them, okay?

However, the current situation of the Tai Su New Method is different. The Great Slaughter Sword Scripture all, is a completely new path of continuous innovation, created from scratch. In order to make it easier for newcomers to find the way, there must be some sword techniques and routines to support it. Moreover, it requires the use of Sha Qi, which is different from the sword principle of calling Dao Breath internal force that the Taiji Realm has always used. Li Fan himself has not fully grasped the principles of Tai Su Qiankun transformation, so he relies more or less on the system and Xuan Tian to create some template moves.

This leads to a discussion about the development of sword techniques and sword skills. In the Oldest One days of the Immortal Palace's martial arts training, mace techniques were used more often than sword techniques. After all, the enemies were all tough, heavily armored, and powerful Divine Beast and demons with long health bars. Weapons used multiple strikes, and rather than honing the finesse of the technique, it was more important to refine the weapon materials to be of high quality. Then, one could unleash dozens of powerful punches, putting all one's strength into the blows. If the punch hit the target, it would cause damage. The most important thing was to break through defenses, armor, bones, tails, and obtain materials.

After the demons and monsters were all defeated, the battle turned into a Human Race. Everyone knew each other well, so those combat skills with huge wind-up animations and overflowing damage were not easy to hit in PvP. At this time, the most efficient sword techniques in the world, represented by the assassins of the North Star Guard, were killing techniques with various hidden blades, poison, stealth, and sudden surprise attacks. After all, no matter how much human strength is trained, it really cannot be compared with Goblin.

Then came the pre -Nine Yin Mountain era. With the emergence of the Profound Maiden, the era of the flourishing of the Mysterious Sect arrived. The Beichen Sword Sect established the Mysterious Sect Qi Sword Way, and the Nine Luminaries Sword Scripture and other unique skills began to have a theoretical explosion. The conflict between the Qi Refining and Sword Refining paths has continued to this day. It was in the sword battles among fellow practitioners that various sword techniques and sword manuals were derived.

Yes, even now, when deducing the Great Slaughter Sword Scripture, Li Fan and Xuan Tian have developed a disagreement regarding the order of their swords. This disagreement is even greater than the one they had at Nine Yin Mountain!

Previously, the distinction between Qi and sword in the Beichen Sword Sect was a matter of which one to cultivate first. But in the end, I wanted both. In the end, I wanted to become one with the sword and condense Beichen sword Exorcism Sword Intent. I couldn't do without either.

However, the path of cultivation of the Great Slaughter Sword Scripture has only just begun, so where would the final version come from? Moreover, it has already split into two different paths: the Tai Sha Qi Scripture and the Great Slaughter Sword Scripture.

Li Fan to the Qi Refining School, so he follows the normal cultivation path: first cultivate the evil energy, then forge the Tai Sha Sword Embryo. Cultivating like this, he's already mastered the Black Hole Flying Sword at the Transformation Stage —it's not just powerful, it's downright absurd!

Xuan Tian naturally belongs to the sword-forging sect. After all, given Li Fan's cultivation path, where he barely managed to forge a sword embryo after facing countless dangers, this cultivation method relies entirely on personal luck and fortune. What value does it have for reference or inheritance?

Although Xuan Tian was indeed bad at teaching disciples, his years of failed teaching experience had made him realize that, apart from a few exceptional individuals and geniuses, the vast majority of people in the world were hopeless fools. It was impossible to expect them to suddenly comprehend the sword path after he demonstrated the righteous way a few times. Unlike Emei, which broke things down and fed them bite by bite, Xuan Tian could only lead them astray.

But Xuan Tian was too lazy to do such a thing, and besides, people can disappoint, but swords will never disappoint! Once forged according to the original design, it will remain just as sharp for many years to come!

Therefore, Xuan Tian's Great Slaughter Sword Scripture has now actually become the 'Tai Sha Sword Forging Scripture'. According to Xuan Tian's intention, it is to use the False Moon Soul as a template and transform all the figurines he created back then—cough cough, sword lords and sword spirits—into Tai Sha flying swords. Recently, it has also been researching the mechanism and pivot system of Heavenly Craft Peak, reforming the method of human materialization, and putting the mechanism and pivot system into the outer shell of the Tai Sha flying sword, or conversely, using the Tai Sha flying sword as the mechanism and pivot system and inserting it into the artificial body. Both are new 'mechanical sword methods'.

Xuan Tian spends all his time in the sword workshop doing this kind of research. To be honest, Li Fan has been so focused on reviewing the Five Arts lately that he hasn't been paying much attention to mechanical arts, and he's starting to have trouble understanding what Professor Xuan Tian is writing on the blackboard...

Ahem, I digress. Let's get back to the main topic!

Blood Radiance Flying Star is a technique modeled Blood Record Sword Scripture. Qin Jiu uses the essence of the Blood Refining Technique as sword energy and sword rainbow to condense sword energy and concentrate sword power at the sword tip, then unleashes it in a chaotic attack style.

The same principle applies to the Great Slaughter Sword Scripture's "Sword Shining Heavenly Star," but instead of blood essence, Li Fan shattered his own body, the Tai Sha Star Core, and harnessed countless Tai Sha Sword Embryo, transforming them into hundreds of Tai Sha flying swords! A single move unleashed hundreds upon hundreds of Tai Sha Sword Rainbow!!

This move is the culmination of the wisdom of Li Fan and Xuan Tian, two extraordinary individuals! The Tai Sha Sword Embryo, has over a hundred designs! All of them are theoretical sword embryo models drawn and imprinted by Xuan Tian, which were then systematically copied by Li Fan. He directly visualized them with his Divine Sense and experimented in battle to see which design could unleash the maximum power of the Great Slaughter Sword Scripture!

And that's not all!

Because Li Fan wasn't fighting alone!

Yes, strictly speaking, it can't really be called a 'one-on-one' fight! The legendary swordsman Chun Jun is also fighting alongside him!

The sword of the Beichen Sword Sect leader is no ordinary weapon. It doesn't need Li Fan to provide any sword power; its edge is formed on its own! He can directly borrow sword power to make moves, making his sword strikes three points faster than when he controls his own qi to condense a sword!

At this moment, the blazing white Dao fire on Chun Jun Sword was a collection of Taiji energy that Li Fan had seized from Ba Dao Jun. It was then transformed by Chun Jun Sword into the indestructible and sharp Bei Chen Sword Qi!

As Li Fan unleashed the Sword Shining Star technique with the power of the Tai Sha sword, Chun Jun Sword Lord also replicated the Sword Shining Star technique exactly with the sharpest and most radiant Bei Chen sword energy! Moreover, since the Chun Jun Sword was in Li Fan's hand, his attack was instantaneous, making him even faster.

Thus, this move was unleashed! It was the double ultimate technique of Sword Radiance to the Heavens! One light, one darkness! One brilliance, one shadow! The starlight flowed backward! The Sword Light was like fire! Scattered like the Milky Way! The sky was filled with sword rainbows! Each strike of the Northern Star Sword was like flowing liquid and falling stars! And each strike of the Great Fiend Sword was like the Northern Star accompanied by a dark shadow! It was as if the star shadows of the Milky Way in the sky were stirred up by Li Fan's Sword Light and fell from the ninth heaven! Dense and endless, they went straight to kill the Purple Void Dao Lord!

To be honest, Li Fan hadn't expected the Chun Jun Sword to have such a powerful effect as a ultimate skill replication! And it even dealt damage from the Bei Chen Sword Qi! No wonder it's the sect leader's sword, it's amazing! Oh my! Your Hengshan new method is pretty awesome, isn't it?! You took down my juvenile cruiser with one shot, didn't you?! Then come and see my Sword Sect's super awesome and explosive combined sword technique multiplied by two!!

The Tai Sha Sword Rainbow had already caused explosive damage, and the power of the Northern Star Sword was unmatched wherever its blade pointed! With a single point of Sword Light, demons scattered in terror! The sword shattered the Milky Way! The Starry Arm of Purple Void Dao Lord was severed cleanly, shattered like rain by the countless sword stars!

With just this one move, he instantly shattered the Purple Void Dao Lord! He beat her so badly that her tongue was sticking out!

Cough cough, she really did bite off her tongue and spit it out. Purple Void Dao Lord wasn't stupid. Even if she hadn't witnessed the power of the Tai Sha Sword Rainbow, the Bei Chen Sword Light on the Chun Jun Sword was no joke! Naturally, she dared not take this attack head-on. Seeing that the Celestial Devil Emperor was almost killed by the attack, she dared not delay any longer and directly abandoned her Dao body! She stuck out her tongue, transformed into human form, and fled! She withstood the overwhelming sword force and shattered! Shocked by the sword star, even her Enlightenment Avatar was riddled with holes by the Sword Light!

But it was no use! He couldn't leave! This was too dangerous! This was Li Fan's territory!

"Tai Sha Fei Xing--!!"

In that instant, Li Fan vanished from Purple Void Dao Lord's Divine Sense!

In the next instant, Li Fan soared across the membrane! He charged right in front of Purple Void Dao Lord!

A sword thrust forward, and Bei Chen and Tai Sha Shuang Xing rushed in! A single strike broke through her defenses, a sure kill! It annihilated the body that Purple Void Dao Lord had painstakingly condensed! It once again sent her back into the dispersed energy source of the plasma fireball!

Whether it was due to the excessive energy depleted by the two Dragon Extinction Star Blasts or the injury inflicted by Sword Star, the plasma sphere of Purple Void Dao Lord was noticeably smaller than before, having shrunk from an adult basketball to a children's basketball!

The assembled Daoist masters were greatly alarmed!

They hadn't even had time to condense their Dao bodies yet, and you killed Purple Void Dao Lord's clone in just two moves?! That's fucking outrageous! These days, is this the kind of strength you need to be called Divine Transformation???

Actually, it can't be said to be outrageous. Li Fan has been cultivating in his own Tai Sha Star Realm for a long time, so of course he can move around at will and fly across membranes. On the contrary, these Dao Lords are entering for the first time. Even if they condense their bodies, they still have to constantly adapt to the direction of gravity in order to move. Flying is not easy, and escaping is not easy. Their movements are extremely inconvenient. To Li Fan, they are like stationary targets.

In this way, Li Fan's Tai Sha Sword Rainbow can almost always hit its target! With the assistance of Chun Jun Sword and the Bei Chen Sword Light breaking through defenses, regardless of whether your Dao body is Tai Chi or Tai Su, it's a double-kill! Ignoring defense! One sword, instant kill!

The intelligent people present could also see that they really couldn't win. Transforming into human form would only be a waste of their lives. Li Fan could truly wear them down, sword by sword, until they were dead!

So the Celestial Devil Emperor made his move!

"Heaven-Splitting Slash--!!!"

It's the Celestial Devil Emperor again! It's always the Celestial Devil Emperor Celestial Devil Emperor! He's fine again now that nobody's watching him!

And surprisingly, he was completely unharmed after consuming the Hengshan Explosive Dragon's ultimate attack! He even transformed instantly! His entire body was covered in a thick, menacing armor, and the more Li Fan looked at him, the more familiar he seemed... Wow! This guy actually transformed his Dao body into a heavy SBS! company's space combat mech!

This Tai Su Celestial Devil Emperor is truly destined to be a corporate dog! He immediately unleashed his mecha battle form! Mecha Celestial Devil Emperor!

With a wave of his hand, the Mech Celestial Devil Emperor condensed the Primordial Fiend Power into a forty-meter-long blade, gleaming with purple light and crackling with lightning! He slashed down—it was the Heaven-Opening Slash!

But this time, we won't attack the star core! We'll attack the astral plane!

The Celestial Devil Emperor actually slashed at the wall with his sword, creating a crack, and tried to escape from Li Fan's invincible domain!

"Tai Sha Fei Xing--!!"

That was quite a dream! Li Fan swiftly pierced through the Demon Emperor's armor from behind with his sword, causing the Celestial Devil Emperor to howl in pain.

However, the Celestial Devil Emperor's health bar was indeed quite thick, and his abilities were indeed slightly stronger than those of the Purple Void Dao Lord. Despite being penetrated and pierced so hard, he did not disintegrate back into his star body and still maintained his Dao body!

However, his actions also inspired other Dao Lords!

In an instant, the seven fireballs transformed into seven sword rainbows! They rushed directly towards the spatial rift created by the Celestial Devil Emperor! In an attempt to escape!

"How naive! Behold my Fiendish Star Realm Topological Matrix!"

Hey, you really think this Demon Realm is a three-dimensional spherical force field where you can just cut a crack and crawl out? Have you heard of eleven dimensions?

Of course, to be honest, Li Fan himself didn't know much about it either, but he could twist a spherical field into a topological structure like a Möbius strip, a Klein bottle, or a Penrose staircase in three-dimensional space. This improved barrier was a special kind of spatial array, with its beginning and end connected, a cause-and-effect cycle, and an infinite loop. It was also an upgrade and improvement by Li Fan to the current array formations, specifically planar arrays.

Although Li Fan only had an initial model of this astral topological array, it was something that the sect leaders had never heard of before—a truly absurd concept. So Jian Hong plunged into the rift with a whoosh, but lost his way in the ever-changing curved space of the astral plane. He charged forward with his escape technique, only to inexplicably return to his original position!

Li Fan temporarily ignored them, letting the old men wander aimlessly through the spatial maze, seizing the opportunity to unleash their full power on the Celestial Devil Emperor!

"Roar! Qingyue! How much money did you take from me! How many treasures did you take from me! Why are you forcing me like this! Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, can't you give me a way out!"

The Celestial Devil Emperor was truly losing his mind. This guy Li Fan was impossible to kill or shake off, and his damage was incredibly high. He didn't know why every sword strike seemed to target his vital points! One sword strike could take down a Demon God General. Even if he had a thousand demons in his belly, he couldn't withstand this kind of attrition!

Li Fan also cursed loudly.

"Bah! Didn't I give you a chance?! Didn't I give you a chance to choose?! Is there any transmigrator in this world more kind-hearted, virtuous, and patient than me?! You insist on repeatedly jumping around in front of me, courting death and challenging my moral bottom line! You're determined to crash into my sword! Fine! I'm not going to pretend to be a good guy anymore! Die! You'll all die!!"

"Why are you still running?! Nobody gets out of here unless we kill him!"

It was only Purple Void Dao Lord's contact with Taisu that he gained some understanding of things. After wandering around twice, he realized that this topological maze was yet another new trick, and without calming down and figuring things out, he wouldn't be able to get out anytime soon. He didn't have time for that now! He had to fight! He had to fight head-on! He had to engage in sword combat!

So Zixu attacked again! "Ah!" A scream rang out, and he transformed a second time!

This time, however, she didn't grow a huge head; she transformed back into her old human form. She didn't have extra arms or eyes, so it seems that if you want to be human, you can still be a decent human. So what was that all about? Was she just showing off?

However, while complaining, Li Fan glanced around and saw through the other party's scheme.

This time, when Purple Void Dao Lord transformed, he didn't create one body, but seven!

Those sect leaders who transformed into sword rainbows circled twice but couldn't escape. They immediately understood Zi Xu's meaning and each condensed their Dao power into a Sword Lord! Each of them chose a Dao body as a vessel to possess!

Suddenly, seven 'Purple Void Dao Lord' appeared in the Tai Sha Star Realm, wielding seven-colored divine swords! They formed a sword formation and surrounded them!

Good heavens! These old dogs are something else! They actually found a flaw!

Yes, Li Fan's weakness lies in the Chun Jun Sword in his hand!

Because Chun Jun Sword Lord is truly an old-fashioned fellow, having been hidden away on Yuntai Peak for so many years, finally waiting for the successor of Xuan Tian to use it, naturally he had no opportunity to learn those new Tai Su techniques.

Before borrowing Chun Jun's sword power, Li Fan specially wrapped it with his own microcosmic body to protect the sword's edge with his Dao power. In this Tai Sha Star Realm, he also preserved some of the Dao rules that were beneficial to the Beichen Sword Sect, so that Chun Jun Sword could unleash its power.

These sect leaders also realized that since they were now in Li Fan's territory, unable to borrow any Qi, comprehend any Dao, or understand any of their own techniques or the Tai Su Dao, their only way out was to visualize Li Fan wielding the Bei Chen Sword Dao that suited him!

Damn, it's just the Northern Star Sword Style! The Nine Heavens Sword Art! Who the hell doesn't know that these days!

"Nine Luminaries Dark Underworld Sword!"

"Nine Stars Return to Dust Sword!"

"Nine Luminaries Purple Radiance Sword!"

"Nine Luminaries Divine Hardness Sword!"

"Nine Luminaries Crimson Fiend Sword!"

"Nine Luminaries Luo Hou Sword!"

"Nine Luminaries Ketu Sword!"

"Seven Stars of the North Star! Sword Sweep Away Demons!" *7

In an instant, seven Purple Void Dao Lords, each wielding a sword, formed the Big Dipper Formation and charged forward in a rainbow formation! Their sword tips pointed directly at Li Fan, who was entangled with the Heavenly Demon Mech!

"Damn it! Using the Beichen Sword and Beichen Formation against me, the Beichen Sect Leader! You're practically courting death! Too Fiendish Star-Shattering! Sword Breaking Seven Stars!!"

Li Fan, caught up in the heat of battle, didn't even try to dodge, instead gripping his sword in a backhanded stance and pointing it at the heavens! Borrowing the power of the Chun Jun Sword, he unleashed the double sword beams of Tai Sha Bei Chen! Needle against needle! Sword stars clashed with Sword Light! In a narrow encounter, the brave prevail! Sword dueling is just so exhilarating!

"Die!!!" xN!

"Puff!!"

However, Li Fan lost this time!

The gap in strength is too large.

Even though he was fighting on his home turf, with Chun Jun's help and double the support, making Tai Sha Bei Chen invincible, he was still fighting against many against one, taking on seven of the nine sect leaders at the top of the Xuanmen!

Of course, Li Fan wasn't stupid enough to force a confrontation like this. He had his own chances of winning. First of all, this move, Tai Sha Sword Technique, was the Breaking Star after the Heavenly Star and Flying Star. It was originally a countermeasure he designed specifically to counter his own Tai Sha Zhuxing Sword Technique. Now, using the Beichen attribute sword power of Chun Jun Sword to counter the Nine Luminaries Sword Rainbow, which is of the same origin and method, was just right.

Moreover, he personally controlled the Astral Topology Array, which could subtly stagger the timing of the seven sect leaders' clones' sword rainbows rising and falling, avoiding being attacked by all seven at the same time. This was equivalent to breaking the opponent's so-called Seven Star Sword Formation, turning it into a one-on-one sword duel, and was by no means a real suicide attempt against seven.

But the moment the first sword star and sword rainbow collided, Li Fan knew something was wrong.

Although the Star-Breaking Sword successfully shattered the Nine Luminaries Sword Rainbow, another force of Dao power reversed the Northern Star Sword Light and came from the Chun Jun Sword!

This wasn't Chun Jun tricking him; quite the opposite, each strike of that Dao power was equivalent to the combined attack of seven people, enough to completely crush Li Fan! It was Chun Jun himself who endured most of the Dao power damage! Only a small portion traveled along the hilt of the sword, but it was still an extremely dangerous and deadly attack! Moreover, it struck seven times in succession! Each time, it knocked off one of his epiphyllum flowers!

There are many formations named after the Big Dipper Seven Stars. Although Zi Xu and his group's combined attack formation was hastily put together and only had the form, it was still far from the original's power. Li Fan still recognized it!

This is precisely the Northern Star Secret Technique that Xuan Tian has been boasting about for so long!

Starflow Sword Array!

Under the bombardment of the Beichen Protecting Sect Array!

Li Fan was defeated! He lost seven flowers in a row!

But the Chun Jun Sword shattered!
