This Was the Three-Character Heaven and Earth Law
Outside the Sacred Mountain, two statues of Heaven and Earth Law stand tall.
The dark gold body of "Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" was like an ancient god descending to earth, with calamity patterns flowing around it. Its mere existence caused the surrounding space to groan under its unbearable weight.
Xuanye's "Undying Heaven-Slaying Lord" was clad in a black-patterned battle robe, his face blurred, with only a pair of cold eyes like icy stars falling down.
The Fifteenth Realm: the Spirit Venerable Realm, is a crucial turning point.
Before the Fifteenth Realm, the Heaven and Earth Law are merely an extension of the cultivator's body, and most attacks are based on brute force and condensed weapons.
Although Xuanye was not yet proficient, he had indeed stepped into that threshold.
The Heaven-Slaying Saber Intent entwines the body; the mind itself becomes the blade.
It was just a thought.
Buzz--!
Dozens of dark cyan blade energies materialized out of thin air around Xuanye, above his head, and behind him, launching a deadly attack without warning!
Each one carries a fierce will to sever all ties with the world, its trajectory treacherous, sealing off all escape routes.
Golden light swirled in Qin Wangchuan's dragon eyes, and glimpses of the future flashed by like fleeting shadows.
He saw it.
The trajectory, speed, and even the possible subsequent changes of the incoming blade energy were crystal clear in my eyes.
The moment the blade energy struck, "Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" made a nimble movement that was completely inconsistent with its heavy size.
He slightly turned his body to avoid the three blade energies that grazed his face.
He shifted his foot to the left, passing precisely through the gap between the two intersecting blade energies.
The massive, pillar-like Dharma Manifestation, under Qin Wangchuan's foresight and control, moved with ghostly agility, precisely dodging the barrage of sword energy.
Step by step, they steadily approached Xuanye's "Undying Heaven-Slaying Lord".
Xuanye showed no surprise, but rather a burning fighting spirit.
He knew that Qin Wangchuan's strength was far greater than that.
The formidable foe before us is precisely the best testing ground to prove our own worth.
"Try this!"
Xuanye moved his mind again, and even denser sword energy sprang up out of thin air, pouring down like a storm, almost filling the space between the two of them.
The future flashed rapidly in Qin Wangchuan's eyes.
There were too many attacks; although they could be predicted, they couldn't be completely avoided.
If that's the case...
Then I won't dodge!
The pace of the "Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" suddenly accelerated!
It stopped dodging and instead charged forward through the overwhelming aura of blades.
The blade energy kept crashing down, producing loud clangs and sparks. The black tribulation patterns on the dark gold body activated and flickered with each attack, gradually devouring the incoming Heaven-Slaying Saber Intent.
Although Qin Wangchuan no longer possesses Xuanye's ability to control sword energy, he has an even more terrifying advantage—the number of words.
The fewer the characters in the Heaven and Earth Law, the purer, more powerful, and closer to the cultivator's Origin Source.
It has nothing to do with skill; it's a suppression of pure talent and power.
"As expected, you really did it, Qin Wangchuan!"
Xuanye burst forth with an even more intense light of excitement!
"In that case, I have to come up with something even more powerful!"
His thoughts raced.
Since saturation attacks are ineffective, then --
Pack!
The myriad sword lights suddenly paused, then converged madly towards a single point, like rivers flowing into the sea!
Hundreds of sharp sword energies were no longer scattered, but were forcibly compressed, eventually transforming into a solid sword beam!
A flicker of wild joy crossed Xuanye's face.
The extreme compression, which had failed several times before, was now successfully achieved in one fell swoop under the pressure from Qin Wangchuan!
"Qin Wangchuan, you really are mine...!"
Before he could finish speaking, Xuanye suddenly noticed a cold glint in his eye, aimed straight at his face!
It's Qin Wangchuan!
He didn't even wait for Xuanye to complete this strike that pushed him to his limits!
The Ten Directions Profound Sword in "Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" was drawn silently, yet with the speed of thunder. A cold glint at the tip of the sword pointed directly at Xuanye's brow!
The fighting instincts accumulated from countless life-or-death battles made Xuanye suddenly raise his head back at the critical moment!
Laugh--!
The tip of the sword grazed the nose of "Undying Heaven-Slaying Lord," the sharp Sword Qi cutting through his face and piercing his bones.
Although the sword missed its mark, its power was not exhausted.
Go all in, downwards!
Puff!
A flash of inspiration!
The arm of the "Undying Heaven-Slaying Lord" was severed at the shoulder, flying into the air along with the spray of Spiritual Qi!
"Ugh--!"
Xuanye manipulated the Heaven and Earth Law to retreat several steps, letting out a painful groan from his nose.
Qin Wangchuan flicked his wrist with his "Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" sword, the longsword tracing a cold arc, its tip pointing towards the distance.
"This won't do, Xuanye."
His voice came through the Dharma Manifestation, so calm it was chilling.
"Facing me, you dare to sharpen your sword at the last minute."
"So that's how it is! So that's how it is!!!"
Xuanye's roar was distorted by excruciating pain, yet it only added to his madness!
Despite his severe injuries, he advanced instead of retreating.
"The Undying Heaven-Slaying Lord" wielded his single-armed sword, which transformed into a dark blue arc of light in the air that seemed capable of Heaven-Opening, slashing down at "Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" which was right in front of him!
This strike was delivered with madness, holding nothing back!
Almost at the same instant, the future was frozen in Qin Wangchuan's eyes.
"Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" gripped the Ten Directions Profound Sword tightly with both hands and charged forward!
Swords clashed, and shockwaves spread outwards.
Xuanye's maniacal voice rang out. "Borrowing Law!"
"Why Borrowing Law?!"
As the words fell, the force on the blade gradually increased.
Just when the two sides seemed to be locked in a stalemate—
A sudden change has occurred!
Sizzle!
Those dark blue blade energies that had been dodged earlier suddenly came spiraling back from the blind spot like living things, aiming straight for "Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" in the back of the heart!
This is Xuanye's true killing move!
He drew everyone's attention with a single, ferocious strike, while secretly manipulating all the previous sword energy to launch a counterattack, creating Killing Situation!
However, the golden light in Qin Wangchuan's dragon eyes never went out.
He saw it.
Before Xuanye could react...
"Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" drew his sword and turned around, his movements so fast that only a blur remained.
The first sword strike swept across, shattering the blade energy behind him.
With the second sword strike, he turned and simultaneously slashed upwards, precisely striking the blade of the Heaven-Slaying Blade! Crack! The blade shattered, leaving the center wide open.
The third strike is here.
The Sword Light struck directly at Xuanye's true form, which was positioned between the eyebrows of the Dharma Manifestation Image.
That sword strike was too fast.
Although Xuanye saw it, he could not avoid it and could only slightly adjust his body.
The next moment.
The face of "Undying Heaven-Slaying Lord" was sliced open, Xuanye's lower body evaporated instantly.
Boom...
The head slammed into the ground, dissipating into pure energy specks.
Immediately afterwards, the headless Dharma Manifestation body stood frozen for a moment before collapsing with a crash.
It transformed into countless fireflies of blue light dust, gradually dissipating into the pervasive smoke and chaotic energy.
Unable to control his fall, Xuanye didn't look at his injuries, but instead looked up.
Top of the head.
The majestic, dark gold body of "Calamity of Ten Thousand Ages" slowly straightened, its indifferent golden eyes looking down upon itself. Black calamity patterns flowed slowly, devouring the surrounding light and dissipated energy.
His dazzling swordplay was shattered by his opponent's purest power in three strikes.
"Monster..."
Even though he already knew the other party was a monster, those two words still unconsciously squeezed out from between Xuanye's teeth.
It's clearly already Five-Character Law.
The opponent was clearly only at the Heavenly Venerable Realm, a whole realm less than him.
The Heaven and Earth Law haven't yet developed any special abilities... relying solely on brute force and pure swordsmanship?
With three sword strikes, he shattered the sword technique he was so proud of and destroyed the Dharma Manifestation.
Xuanye's fragmented consciousness vaguely mused, 'Perhaps, this is the Three-Character Heaven and Earth Law.'
Exceptional to common sense, above the rules.
He felt his strength and vitality rapidly draining away, his vision beginning to dim, and his consciousness gradually sinking into a cold abyss.
However, in the very last moment before closing his eyes completely—
His gaze inadvertently swept over Qin Wangchuan's back.
It remained suspended behind Qin Wangchuan, but... its state was extremely strange.
The light on the entire wheel flickered intermittently, as if some kind of uncontrolled disintegration was taking place inside.
Xuanye's pupils, which were about to dilate, suddenly contracted!
