People in the Divine Realm are different from other cultivators.
Just as Spiritual Qi is inferior to Immortal Qi, Immortal Qi is inferior to Divine Qi.
Therefore, generally speaking, among cultivators of the Divine Realm and those of other realms, cultivators of the Divine Realm have an absolute advantage.
Even though Ning Zhou was only at the Early Stage of the Demigod Realm, he already possessed the strength of the Mid-Stage Demigod Realm compared to cultivators from other great realms.
But precisely because of this.
When Ning Zhou saw the power unleashed by the sword in Ye Qiubai's hand, the shock he felt was even deeper.
Despite being only at the Ancestor Realm, he was able to produce a weapon that left him feeling utterly powerless and filled with fear.
But... is this sword truly something a mere Ancestor Realm could wield?
Ning Zhou gritted his teeth slightly.
Regardless, we must do everything we can to deal with this, otherwise we won't be able to obtain this fragment, and we won't even be able to complete the task assigned to us from above!
With that in mind, Ning Zhou no longer hesitated.
He stepped out with his right foot and stomped heavily on the ground, causing the already cracked earth to crack even more!
Only the two rows of Torch Dragon statues and the area around the stone platform where the fragments of the Classic of Mountains and Seas were placed remained unaffected.
Ning Zhou gripped the hilt of the greatsword tightly with both hands, roared, and slammed it into the ground!
Then, he bit his finger and smeared his Essence Blood onto the blade of the greatsword.
At that moment, a massive and domineering aura surged into the sky!
This domineering aura spread throughout the surrounding space, enveloping everyone present.
The unparalleled, violent suppressive power even caused most of the trainees to collapse to the ground, unable to get up at all!
This immense power was so great that even some of those present who were at the same level as Ning Zhou found it difficult to withstand.
It's hard to imagine how Ye Qiubai will deal with this.
Ning Zhou stared at Ye Qiubai with a mad expression, his eyes bloodshot and filled with rage. He grinned and laughed wildly, "To be honest, you can be proud of yourself for pushing me to this point, but only for now, because you don't have a future."
He finished speaking.
The violent Sword Intent and Blood Qi began to condense, and a blood-red giant wielding a giant sword gradually solidified!
Ning Zhou gradually floated up, hovering between the crimson giant's eyebrows.
This crimson giant, as tall as the sky, turned the entire sky blood red, and the space was filled with blood mist dominated by violent Sword Intent!
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai's expression turned solemn.
Indeed, no one in the Divine Realm is simple.
Without the power of the Azure Cloud Sword, he might not be able to defeat his opponent easily.
Thinking about this...
Ye Qiubai gripped the sword hilt with one hand and suddenly began to exert force!
As he gripped the sword hilt, wisps of Sword Dao Origin emanating from the Azure Cloud Sword began to entwine around Ye Qiubai 'Ye Qiubai hand like threads, as if constantly drawing power from his body.
Click!
The scabbard swayed, and Ye Qiubai gradually drew out the ancient sword!
An extremely sharp Sword Qi surged forth from it!
Sensing the Sword Qi, Ning Zhou's expression hardened; he knew he couldn't wait any longer.
With a soft shout, the crimson giant gripped the enormous sword with both hands and slashed down at Ye Qiubai!
The giant sword slashed down, but what fell was not a sword at all.
Looking up, a huge black shadow enveloped the land, as if a mountain range had fallen!
Ye Qiubai's gaze sharpened, and he gave a soft shout.
The Sword Intent swirling around Ye Qiubai began to surge violently, like boiling water.
Suddenly, half of the Azure Cloud Sword was exposed in this space.
The extremely sharp Sword Intent slashed wildly through the surrounding space, even emitting sharp sword cries.
"This... is this an attack that a sword cultivator at the Ancestor Realm can unleash?"
"What level is this sword? Why can't I see through it?"
"Didn't the Mortal Realm just rebuild from ruins? Weapons of this caliber are probably only found in the ancient Aristocratic Clan and top powers of the Cangxuan Continent, right?"
The overwhelming Sword Intent collided head-on with the blood giant's sword strike!
The greatsword's downward trajectory also stopped at that moment.
Even at the very moment of contact, the greatsword was already covered in cracks!
Without even looking, the Sword Intent emanating from the giant sword alone made Ning Zhou feel an irresistible power.
Countless small holes immediately appeared on the entire crimson giant, from which a violent Sword Intent flowed out.
It already possesses such power before it's even fully pulled out?
If they were all pulled out... Ning Zhou couldn't imagine what kind of world-destroying power they would unleash.
Ning Zhou's eyes widened in fury as he roared at Ye Qiubai, "Who exactly are you?!"
Ye Qiubai did not answer.
When the Azure Cloud Sword was pulled out halfway, it immediately drained all the Immortal Qi from Ye Qiubai's body, and his spirit and energy would instantly fall into an extremely weak state.
However, although I feel that a lot of the Immortal Qi has been absorbed, it is still within an acceptable range.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qiubai looked at the giant sword that wasn't completely broken and the blood-red giant.
He stepped forward with his right foot, let out a deep shout, and exerted force with his palm again.
At this moment, two-thirds of the sword's blade was revealed to the world!
The Sword Intent, several times stronger than before, tore the surrounding space apart, creating black holes one after another.
The clouds in the sky have all been dispersed!
This Sword Intent, like a raging storm and a tsunami, surged wildly towards the blood-red giant!
The giant sword shattered instantly.
It left not a single trace.
The Sword Intent, like a storm, continued its relentless advance, engulfing the blood-red giant as tall as the sky under Ning Zhou's fearful gaze.
The crimson giant was instantly annihilated.
Under the storm of Sword Intent, Ning Zhou's greatsword was shredded into dust, and his body gradually began to disintegrate.
Pieces of flesh and bone were cleaved off by the Sword Qi and then turned to ashes.
Ning Zhou roared incessantly within it.
"Kill me, and none of you Mortal Realm will ever escape these ruins!!"
He did not beg for mercy.
Putting yourself in Ning Zhou's shoes, you wouldn't let your opponent go at this time either.
After the physical body and soul were completely destroyed, a divine light burst forth from it and then disappeared into the world.
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai frowned slightly, but he was now powerless to stop the message from being sent out.
Pulling out two-thirds of the Azure Cloud Sword might not have knocked Ye Qiubai unconscious, but he now only had less than 20% of his power left...
He quickly sheathed the Azure Cloud Sword and put it away.
Everyone looked at this scene in bewilderment.
Watching Ye Qiubai walk step by step toward the stone platform, he did not step forward to stop him.
It should be said... who would dare to step forward and stop them?
What if the other party pulls out that sword whose grade is unknown again?
Tan Zongzhao and Mu Ziqing also arrived at Ye Qiubai's side at this moment.
Mu Ziqing quickly gave Ye Qiubai a pill and then asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"
Ye Qiubai shook his head, walked to the stone platform, and picked up the tattered page.
The image above is strikingly similar to the Torch Dragon!
There is also an explanation on the side.
Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Classic of the Great Northern Wilderness.
Torch Dragon...
