Even Ye Qiubai in his current state cannot fully control the power of the Azure Cloud Sword, nor can he unleash its full potential.
But.
The Azure Cloud Sword is ultimately Supreme-Grade Saint Artifact.
Its level was immeasurably higher than the sword in the Ninth Elder's hand.
They're not even on the same level.
Therefore, even if Ye Qiubai couldn't fully unleash the power of the Azure Cloud Sword, how could the Ninth Elder's silver longsword possibly withstand the Azure Cloud Sword when the two swords clashed?
It's perfectly normal for weapons to break.
The Ninth Elder looked at the sword in his hand with some pain; this was a sword of the Domain God Level!
There aren't many in the entire Chaos Realm.
This was a reward from Xuanyuan Tianzhe for his great contributions to the Xuanyuan Clan.
However, when he looked up at the Azure Cloud Sword in Ye Qiubai's hand, the heartache in his eyes disappeared, replaced by an even stronger greed!
"Since you destroyed my sword, then pay for it with your own."
That brings us to this.
The Ninth Elder's spatial ring flashed, and a sword of the Lord God Level appeared in his hand.
only.
This time, the Ninth Elder did not intend to engage in a head-on close-quarters battle with Ye Qiubai.
He didn't want his sword to be shattered by his opponent again.
At the same time, the Ninth Elder no longer held back, and the aura of the Middle Stage of the Lord Divine Realm surged forth with his Sword Intent!
He swung his sword repeatedly at Ye Qiubai!
A dense barrage of slashes crisscrossed, tearing through space like an impenetrable net, heading straight for Ye Qiubai.
Ye Qiubai frowned slightly.
There was nowhere to hide from this attack!
However... Ye Qiubai came with the mindset of facing strong opponents head-on, so naturally he had no intention of backing down.
Oh!
With a soft shout, Ye Qiubai released his Azure Cloud Sword, which hovered above his head.
Ye Qiubai pointed his fingers upwards.
Within the Sword Domain, countless Sword Intent surged forth like a raging storm!
The myriad Sword Intent seemed to transform into illusory long swords, flowing around the Azure Cloud Sword like a long river of Sword Qi.
Um?
Does this mean they've given up using that sword?
Seeing this, the Ninth Elder was filled with doubt.
He couldn't imagine what the opponent would have to match him if they were no longer using the Azure Cloud Sword.
But the Ninth Elder's idea was ultimately wrong.
What happened next made his pupils slowly contract!
Around the blade of the Azure Cloud Sword, wisps of mist began to spread out!
This mist is the Sword Dao energy inherent in the Azure Cloud Sword itself.
At this moment, this mist continuously merges into the river of Sword Qi that swirls around the Azure Cloud Sword, formed by the convergence of thousands of illusory swords!
This move seemed to have taken a heavy toll on Ye Qiubai, as his face turned deathly pale in no time.
It was as if all the Divine Qi within him had been drained away at that moment!
When the Sword Dao power of the Azure Cloud Sword merges into the River of Sword Qi, the River of Sword Qi seems to receive a gift, and all of it emits joyful sword cries!
Ye Qiubai pointed his fingers toward the impenetrable net of slashing swords.
The river of Sword Qi energy flowed like a thousand soldiers receiving their king's command, rushing towards the slashing sword net!
Sizzle!
The river of Sword Qi struck the very center of the sword net.
The momentum of the slashing sword net was directly forced to a halt!
The Ninth Elder was shocked. His full-force attack had actually been blocked by a mere junior who had only survived the Second-Level Lightning Tribulation?
Above.
Xuanyuan Wuji Xu Cangyuan, and others also witnessed this scene.
He couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.
This person seems to be from the same sect as Xu Yeming.
Originally, only the Xuanyuan Clan cared about Ye Qiubai, but what they cared about was that he had obtained the inheritance of the Azure Cloud Sword Master.
Now, both Xuanyuan Wuji and Xu Cangyuan began to think about it secretly.
Who on earth was the person who nurtured such prodigies as Xu Yeming and Ye Qiubai?
Moreover, their cultivation paths are completely different!
As the head of the Xu Clan and the supreme elder of the Xuanyuan Clan.
Having served the Lineage for so long, one naturally has more to consider.
For example, right now.
Xu Cangyuan and Xuanyuan Wuji had already made a plan in their hearts.
We must investigate who their master is.
When did the Mortal Realm produce someone capable of training such a prodigy disciple?
Thinking about this...
A sense of unease was running through both of them.
Xu Canghai had discerned their concerns from their earlier actions and sneered, "What? Are you considering investigating the forces behind them?"
I think... if you want to live a little longer, it's best not to act rashly."
Xu Cangyuan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Oh? So, you know about their sect?"
How could Xu Canghai not know?
"Without your approval, I naturally won't reveal anything," Xu Canghai said with a faint smile. "Of course, that's all I have to say. If you want to court death, then so be it."
Seemingly afraid that Xu Cangyuan would misunderstand his words, he grinned and said, "Don't misunderstand, it's not that I'm worried about you, it's just that I feel you have to die by my hand."
undoubtedly.
Xu Canghai's words intensified the unease in the hearts of Xu Cangyuan and Xuanyuan Wuji.
This also led them to decide that after this incident, they would definitely investigate who the other party was.
The river of Sword Qi, enhanced by the Azure Cloud Sword, continuously surged against the sword net.
However, Ye Qiubai's Divine Qi was also being consumed in large quantities.
Integrating the power of the Azure Cloud Sword into the Sword Domain is too much of a stretch for Ye Qiubai in his current state.
The Ninth Elder seemed to have noticed this and sneered, "Oh? You're about to give up?"
Upon hearing this...
Ye Qiubai didn't answer, but instead said to himself, "It's time..."
Just as his internal Divine Qi was about to run out, Ye Qiubai immediately took out a pill to restore his Divine Qi and popped it into his mouth.
A continuous Power of Unending Life swirled around his body!
The Divine Qi within his body surged rapidly!
The Ninth Elder was taken aback, but what happened next was even more shocking.
Sky.
Dark clouds drifted in slowly, obscuring the sky and the sun.
The entire Heavenly Heart Valley darkened at this moment.
Everyone couldn't help but look up.
Thick bolts of purple lightning flashed continuously within the dark clouds, seemingly gathering power!
This is... a tribulation of lightning?!
The Ninth Elder looked sharply at Ye Qiubai, and exclaimed in surprise, "You actually dare to undergo tribulation under these circumstances?!"
Ye Qiubai chuckled lightly, "Why wouldn't I dare?"
With Ye Qiubai's foundation in Dao, coupled with his constant suppression of his cultivation level, he could break through at any time.
But why must one drain their own Divine Qi and then use Lu Changsheng's Divine Qi -restoring pills to recover before attempting a breakthrough?
The answer will be revealed soon...
Looking at the dark clouds above, the density of the lightning, and the gradually filling aura of tribulation lightning around them.
Those present quickly realized that something was wrong.
Is this the intensity one would expect from the Third-Level Lightning Tribulation?
The Ninth Elder's expression quickly changed, " Dual Lightning Tribulation..."
Simultaneously undergoing two tribulations of lightning is unheard of in the entire Chaos Realm!
