Xu Taiping nodded.
"Exactly."
He had originally forged Taiyi to contend with the Great Void Calamity, but it had never been ready to leave the furnace. Only during this journey through the River of Time had it finally been successfully quenched and emerged.
As he spoke, a boom rang out, and the ancient-looking flying sword abruptly vanished into nothingness.
Only the fluctuations of spiritual power around its blade revealed its outline.
Boom-!
The next moment, with a mere thought, the formless, intangible flying sword Taiyi thrust straight toward the Jade Emperor.
The Jade Emperor immediately raised his palm and struck downward.
The instant his palm descended, an enormous bell phantom appeared before him as a shield.
Bang!!!
With a tremendous crash, Xu Taiping's Great Dao Life-Bound Flying Sword Taiyi collided heavily with the great bell before the Jade Emperor's palm.
Boom! Boom, boom...!
Amid thunderous crashes like the heavens splitting apart, the formless, intangible Taiyi shook cracks into the enormous bronze bell before the Jade Emperor, little by little.
Yet the Jade Emperor, whose eyes had originally betrayed tension, now curled his lips and said with a disdainful gaze:
"No matter how powerful the swordsmanship or the flying sword, they ultimately require cultivation and a physique to match before their greatest combat power can be unleashed."
"And that is your greatest weakness."
As he spoke, the Jade Emperor abruptly pressed his palm down.
Clang-!
With a deafening sound of the bell, the halo of Dao rhythm surrounding Xu Taiping abruptly shattered.
Even the scales of his ultimate Dao true dragon divine being body kept peeling away.
Just as the Jade Emperor had said, Xu Taiping's physique and cultivation could not sustain such powerful sword intent and the immortal sword Taiyi.
Especially when fighting someone as powerful as the Jade Emperor.
