Peerless sword intent

With the battle between Shi Hao and Shi Yi over, the Void God Realm did not settle down. Instead, it was about to descend into even greater chaos.

"He's badly wounded. Doesn't that put him in even greater danger now?" Yun Xi asked, her brows furrowing.

Yun Ying glanced at her elder sister. "He can't avoid this. But don't forget how he got here."

"Little Ying, you mean..."

Something suddenly occurred to Yun Xi, and her eyes lit up.

"There's no need to keep watching what comes next." Yun Ying nodded, then glanced at the person on the arena platform.

She had barely finished speaking when a crimson divine flame surged up, streaked across the heavens, and descended toward the Sky Battlefield.

It was a young man, flames swirling around his body. His aura was astonishingly powerful, enough to make hearts pound with dread.

The next instant, the young man reached out a large hand toward Shi Hao, launching a probing strike. Shi Hao met it calmly.

"Not bad. Come with me. I can give you a vaster sky," the young man said, looking at Shi Hao with satisfaction.

Shi Hao's expression cooled slightly. This fellow spoke even more arrogantly than he did, and there was a hint of contempt in his tone.

"I, Jinbe, have two passions. The first is collecting peerless beauties from across the world, and the second is collecting renowned precious techniques. I suppose I also have a third: collecting the world's famed generals."

The young man stared at Shi Hao with burning eyes. Clearly, he had realized that Shi Hao possessed the Kun Peng Precious Technique.

Shi Hao saw through him. The man wanted to take him as a battle general, then pocket both the Bronze Book Fragment and the Kun Peng Precious Technique.

"I have similar tastes. Why not offer me your beauties, then follow me?" Shi Hao said indifferently.

The young man raised an eyebrow. "So you and I are kindred spirits?"

But he said nothing more on the subject, instead looking into the distance. "Something caught my attention earlier. There are two exquisite beauties over there."

Everyone followed his gaze toward the beings from the Primordial Sacred Mountain, their faces filling with surprise. Wasn't he talking about the two fairies, Yun Xi and Yun Ying?

"To think that even a barren place like the Desolate Region could have such beauties. They set my heart stirring."

The young man's gaze settled on Yun Ying. At a glance, he saw that she possessed not only beauty that could sink fish and bring down wild geese, but also unrivaled strength.

Shi Hao also spotted Yun Ying and Yun Xi. He had not seen them for some time, and he found Yun Ying's cultivation realm even harder to fathom.

"Little Ying, this man..."

Yun Xi could sense how terrifying this man was, but she certainly could not admire his tastes.

Yun Ying glanced at the young man without saying anything, then turned to leave.

"Such a cold beauty. That only makes me want to conquer her all the more."

The young man laughed, the crimson light in his eyes blazing as though it would burn the nine heavens.

The next instant, he struck without hesitation. With a lift of his hand, six precious techniques emerged together, revolving like the Six Paths of Reincarnation and shaking the mortal world.

A terrifying aura erupted. Symbols of the Great Dao filled heaven and earth as the six precious techniques linked together, as though reenacting reincarnation to open up a new world.

"Bastard!"

On the Primordial Sacred Mountain's side, many Venerables were shocked and furious. This brat's arrogance truly knew no bounds. He actually dared to attack right in front of them.

Still, such a feat was genuinely astonishing. Controlling six precious techniques at once was far beyond an ordinary person's abilities. Once unleashed, they naturally possessed power that could shake heaven and earth and make ghosts and gods weep.

Every Venerable present sensed danger. Even for them, taking this attack would be no simple matter.

Everyone's cultivation realm was suppressed here. Otherwise, these Venerables would have slapped him across the face long ago.

"This fellow..." Shi Hao frowned. He had actually attacked Yun Ying. He truly acted without the slightest restraint.

At that moment, Yun Ying stopped walking. She slowly turned around, and everyone felt heaven and earth seem to tremble.

They saw her purple eyes light up, myriad rays of radiant light shooting from her pupils. A sword's ringing cry pierced the sky, surpassing the roars of gods and demons, as though it could penetrate space and time across the ages.

Everyone's hair stood on end, as though some terrifying existence had fixed its gaze upon them. A chill crept over the backs of their heads, and even the Venerables were no exception.

Yun Ying raised her hand and pressed her fingers together like a sword. At that moment, her slender, jade-like fingers blazed with peerless sharpness. In everyone's eyes, an unrivaled divine sword had suddenly left its sheath.

Her crystalline sword fingers shone, sword intent surging in waves. Sword qi swept through the void, and everyone saw a brilliant streak of sword light cleave eternity, tear apart reincarnation, and forge heaven, earth, yin, and yang anew.

Clang!

Sword light swept across the sky, scattered with cold, starlike glints. In an instant, all six precious techniques were cut in two, then shattered.

With a ripping sound, a vast fissure in the void stretched across hundreds of yards, leaving many people wide-eyed, their jaws dropping to the ground.

"She even cut open the void?"

Everyone stared dumbstruck. This sword intent was far too terrifying. Could it be the sword intent of a Primordial Saint? No, perhaps even a Primordial Saint's sword intent was no greater than this.

Gasp!

It took many people a long time to recover. They could not help drawing sharp breaths, nearly collapsing to the ground in fright.

The sword's ringing was crisp and soul-shaking. Her purple robes fluttered, and her eyes seemed to have become two boundless seas of swords, with endless sword light rising and falling within them. An ordinary person would shed tears of blood from meeting her gaze just once.

Looking at Yun Ying like this, everyone could feel the fierce edge she radiated, capable of cleaving through anything. That sword intent was proud and transcendent, able to sever the heavens and destroy the earth. Like a sword immortal of her generation, she looked down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, peerless in all the world.

"A sword immortal," someone murmured, utterly won over by that breathtaking strike.

Rumble!

At that moment, Record Steles appeared in the blessed grottoes throughout every tier of the Void God Realm. Crystalline words emerged upon them: "Peerless sword intent, equal to the ancient gods!"

The appearance of this Record Stele left everyone present too stunned to speak.

A single sword strike had established a record. And what a record it was: peerless sword intent, equal to the ancient gods!

Equal to the ancient gods-what did that mean? It was far more terrifying than surpassing a Primordial Saint. The two were not even on the same level.

Was this something a young person could accomplish? Everyone felt as though they must be dreaming.

"Hahaha! What an exquisite beauty, with peerless sword intent!" The young man laughed, but deep wariness surfaced in his eyes.

He had blasted a mighty dragon out of hiding. Though he looked calm on the surface, he was actually a little panicked.

Hearing his laughter, everyone could not help rolling their eyes. He had brought this upon them, yet he still had the nerve to laugh.

The sword's ringing was clear, and the sharp edge of the Sword Dao ebbed away like a tide. The aura that had made everyone feel as though needles were digging into their backs vanished.

"Whew. What was that? How could it be so frightening? It felt like a blade pressed against my neck. Absolutely terrifying."

Many people gasped for breath. None of them knew what that power was. It differed from an imposing aura, possessing an utterly terrifying edge sharper than any blade or sword.
