"Dong-!"
As the densely packed purple flames shaped like long blades lit up across the sky, the entire world abruptly shook. That tremendous tremor, together with the utterly resolute blade intent and the destruction-laden blade force, surged through the Moonshadow Stone's projection and spread violently through the First-Rank Pavilion teahouse.
"Pfft..."
Some cultivators in the teahouse could not even withstand the impact of that terrifying blade intent and blade force with their divine souls. Their qi and blood went berserk on the spot, and they spat blood.
But this caused only a brief disturbance in the teahouse before everyone's attention was drawn by another cultivator's cry-
"Thunderflames! They're all thunderflames!"
At first, everyone was still unsure exactly what this person meant by thunderflames.
Until another cultivator cried out-
"Those things forming a sky full of blade shadows behind Xu Taiping aren't ordinary blade qi manifestations. Those are... those are... thunderflames formed from blade qi!"
In an instant, an ear-splitting uproar erupted in the teahouse.
Blade Qi Manifestation was something only blade cultivators in the blade immortal realm could perform to begin with, and giving those manifestations combat power required Xu Taiping to have reached the second level of Blade Qi Manifestation or higher.
But condensing thunderflames through Blade Qi Manifestation as Xu Taiping had done, although still within its third level, was a feat unparalleled among all the blade cultivators in the world today who had reached that level.
Heavenly Lord Shihu said excitedly:
"Unparalleled hardly describes it! To use Blade Qi Manifestation to condense thunderflames that the vast majority of cultivators in this world cannot produce through normal means-such an ability could shake the ages and dazzle the present!"
Beside him, Xiahou Qingyuan, whose face had been full of arrogance, now looked astonished as well.
"Rumble..."
Before the uproar
