Just as Xuanyuan Tianzhao swung the Xuanyuan Sword, and that fatal golden slash was about to engulf Ye Qiubai...
A violent tremor suddenly swept across the entire world!
The nine Sword Peak simultaneously emitted sword cries!
Boom boom boom boom!
Nine enormous cyan pillars of light, imbued with a profound, ancient, and extremely pure Sword Intent, shot up from the top of the nine Sword Peak like nine giant pillars supporting the heavens and the earth, piercing straight into the sky!
Even without a direct attack, it instantly tore apart and dispelled the Human Emperor Sword Intent that enveloped this world!
The golden slash that was originally aimed at Ye Qiubai was precisely struck by one of the soaring cyan light pillars less than ten feet away from Ye Qiubai's body. It was directly swallowed up by the light pillar and disappeared without a trace!
Dugu Jue and Xuanyuan Tianzhe, who were watching from the sidelines, realized that something was wrong.
Their years of fighting experience told them that they couldn't delay any longer; now might be the best opportunity to kill Ye Qiubai!
Thinking about this...
The two drew their swords simultaneously and unleashed a powerful strike!
Two Sword Qi, seemingly capable of cleaving the heavens and earth, crossed and swiftly slashed towards Ye Qiubai!
Faced with these two slashes, Ye Qiubai, who was not protected by the Azure Cloud Sword, felt as if his body was being forcibly torn apart from both sides by two giants!
But just as the strike was about to land...
Clang!
Two deafening sounds, far clearer and more awe-inspiring than the clash of metal, erupted!
The nine cyan beams of light that shot into the sky from the Sword Peak seemed to regard Ye Qiubai as their master, and they intertwined into a giant net of Sword Qi in front of him!
As if protecting its master.
Before these nine pillars of azure light and Sword Intent, the full-force sword strikes unleashed by the two supreme sword cultivators of the Chaos Realm were as fragile as glass crashing into a mountain. In an instant, they shattered and disintegrated, turning into countless scattered golden light specks, which were then completely swallowed and annihilated by the surging azure light!
All of this happened so fast!
So fast that even top sword cultivators like Xuanyuan Tianzhao, Dugu Jue, and Xuanyuan Tianzhe didn't have time to react...
"Inheritance protecting the master? Has the Azure Cloud Sword Master already chosen this child as his successor?" Xuanyuan Tianzhao's expression was grim.
If what he said is true, then trying to harm Ye Qiubai would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
Moreover, they will also lose the competition for the inheritance of the Azure Cloud Sword Master, unless Ye Qiubai himself fails to live up to the Azure Cloud Sword Master's expectations!
Ye Qiubai looked at the nine swirling cyan pillars of light around him, and for a moment he was also a little stunned.
However, as the cyan beam of light approached him, his bones and the Cloud Azure Sword high in the sky seemed to tremble!
It is the Sword Bone and the Sword Soul.
At that moment, one of the cyan beams of light enveloped Ye Qiubai.
A surge of vitality and pure Sword Intent flooded into Ye Qiubai's body!
This caused Ye Qiubai was originally covered in blood and extremely weak, to recover from his injuries rapidly!
Ye Qiubai felt his heavy body become light at this moment, the excruciating pain in his soul melted away like ice and snow, and his almost dried-up Dantian was filled with a cool and gentle power.
The Cloud Azure Sword hanging above his head suddenly burst into an unprecedentedly joyful sword cry, transforming into a sword shadow that landed in front of Ye Qiubai.
Upon seeing this, Ye Qiubai instinctively gripped the Cloud Azure Sword.
The moment he grasped the Cloud Azure Sword, the nine cyan light pillars began to connect and merge with each other, as if the illusory image of the Cloud Azure Sword had reappeared. A vast and extremely condensed cyan Sword Domain was formed again with Ye Qiubai at its center!
The Sword Domain regenerated, covering all nine Sword Peak!
At this moment, the Sword Domain made Xuanyuan Tianzhao, Dugu Jue, Xuanyuan Tianzhe, and Xuanyuan Che Cheqing, who were within it, instantly feel an absolute suppression originating from the depths of their souls!
The Sword Intent was firmly suppressed within his body, making even its circulation extremely sluggish!
Dugu Jue's face was grim; he and Xuanyuan Tianzhao were all too familiar with this Sword Intent.
After all, he had been suppressed by the owner of this Sword Intent for an entire era!
" Sword Intent of the Azure Cloud Sword Master truly chosen this brat?" Dugu Jue gritted his teeth and asked.
Xuanyuan Tianzhe said in a deep voice, "The inheritance hasn't even been contested yet, and you've already chosen a master?"
Xuanyuan Tianzhao pondered for a long time with a stern face. At this moment, looking at the blue light emanating from the sword bone in Ye Qiubai's body and the resonance between the sword soul of Yun Cang Sword and his soul, he suddenly laughed loudly.
"Ha... Hahahaha!"
The laughter was filled with resentment. Xuanyuan Tianzhao murmured, "So that's how it is... Sword Master, Sword Master... So your legacy was never meant to be fought over. You had already chosen your successor long ago, and we were merely his whetstones, weren't we?"
Upon hearing Xuanyuan Tianzhao's words...
Dugu Jue and Xuanyuan Tianzhe also realized what was happening.
He looked at Ye Qiubai seemed somewhat lost.
The appearance of the inherited power was not simple; rather, it thoroughly demonstrated its inclination, choosing Ye Qiubai without the slightest hesitation!
It was as if it were making a declaration.
Ye Qiubai is the only successor chosen by the Azure Cloud Sword Master!
I felt this power of inheritance.
Ye Qiubai recalled everything that had happened before.
It all started when I first came into contact with the legacy of the Azure Cloud Sword Master.
Various trials and opportunities, or other contenders vying for the Azure Cloud Sword Master's inheritance, seemed to have failed to appear at this moment.
It was as if everything had been predetermined for him.
At that time, at the place of inheritance, he encountered the disciple of the Azure Cloud Sword Master, who said something that left Ye Qiubai puzzled.
Perhaps, you are the person Master has been waiting for.
At that moment, Ye Qiubai understood.
The inheritance of the Azure Cloud Sword Master is not something to be fought over.
Rather, it was predetermined from the moment they made contact.
Ye Qiubai felt that from the moment he came into contact with the inheritance of the Azure Cloud Sword Master, he had been walking down a path that the Azure Cloud Sword Master had arranged in the the Unseen...
Perhaps, the journey had already begun before any contact was even made.
now.
Ye Qiubai's injuries have been fully healed.
Nine beams of azure light supported Ye Qiubai's body and began to slowly rise.
at the same time.
Those nine Sword Peak actually rose abruptly from the ground!
Rumble--!
With a tremendous roar, the nine Sword Peak detached from their original stone form, and the boulders fell into the air below, as if an invisible weapon refiner was forging the nine Sword Peak into nine giant swords!
Before long, under everyone's gaze, the nine Sword Peak transformed into nine giant swords, swirling around Ye Qiubai.
The rotation speed is getting faster and faster!
Nine beams of azure light converged at that moment, enveloping Ye Qiubai's body!
At this moment.
Behind him.
The azure light gradually materialized, and a man in a long azure robe holding a long sword stood there.
She looked very young, but her snow-white hair was draped down her back.
The man in blue looked at Xuanyuan Tianzhao and Dugu Jue and chuckled, "I didn't expect you two to still be alive. To wake up again and see old friends is quite an interesting thing."
Upon hearing these words...
Xuanyuan Tianzhe and Xuanyuan Che also realized what was happening.
This person.
He was the first sword cultivator in High Antiquity times, the Azure Cloud Sword Master!
