Borrowing Your Sword Dao

The sky collapsed, and the vast void transformed into a boiling battlefield of Daoist energy!

"Boom-!!!"

Behind Qi Yun, the auras of the nine great spirits of Lord of Yong Province and the Sacred Yuan Wenqu Star Lord suddenly erupted, colliding fiercely with the overwhelming pressure of the more than ten Xuanhuang Great True Person opposite them!

There was no probing, no words.

Only the most primal and violent path of destruction!

"Town!"

Qi Yun's tongue thundered like spring thunder, his voice as clear as the Daoist statute.

Upon receiving the order, the rulers of the nine states moved instantly, their figures shifting to stand in the nine directions according to the established trajectory.

Emerald green divine light soared into the sky from their bodies, intertwining and transforming into the illusory image of a towering divine tree that reached the heavens and the earth!

The sacred tree's branches and leaves swayed, each leaf seemingly carrying a miniature realm of heaven, scattering endless vitality of the Yi Wood and a protective Dao aura as heavy as the sky, transforming into an emerald-colored divine domain covering tens of thousands of miles, forcefully withstanding the overwhelming combined force from the opposite side.

Sacred Yuan Wenqu Star Lord then took a step forward and stood atop the divine tree.

His face was solemn as he held the illusory scroll of sacred texts in his hand, reciting aloud. "Heaven and earth possess righteous energy, which manifests itself in myriad forms!"

A vast and boundless Vast Righteous Qi, like a bursting dam, surged forth from his body, transforming into countless golden seal characters that covered the sky and the earth.

Wherever he went, demonic energy dissipated and Evil Method dimmed. With his own "righteousness," he briefly suppressed the flow of energy in a small part of the battlefield!

However, which of the Xuanhuang Great True Person wasn't a peerless figure who fought his way out of mountains of corpses Blood Sea?

How could we sit idly by and watch ourselves be suppressed?

"Break!"

Sword Pavilion True Person Sansi pointed his fingers like a sword, and a condensed azure sword light, seemingly capable of cutting through time, suddenly shone brightly, ignoring space and piercing straight into the main trunk of the divine tree!

Where the sword light passed, it left behind long-lasting, dark cracks in the void—the pure essence of the "sword"!

"Cry!"

Behind the Lady Jiuli, Phoenix Helm nine crimson-gold phoenixes cried out in unison, spewing out the seven-colored Nirvana True Fire that could scorch the heavens and boil the seas. The rolling fire waves transformed into nine ferocious fire dragons, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced towards the Emerald Divine Realm.

Wherever it passed, even the vibrant Yi Wood path was ignited and withered!

The three princes of the Dragon Palace even revealed part of their true forms, their dragon roars shaking the heavens!

The Crown Prince of the Eastern Sea transformed into a blazing azure sun, his scorching dragon breath burning rivers and boiling seas; the Crown Prince of the North Sea stirred up an extreme cold vortex, freezing thousands of miles of space and time; the Crown Prince of the South Sea unleashed a world-destroying thunderstorm, with billions of bolts of lightning falling like rain!

Dragon Clan are born with the power to control the heavens and earth; with every move they make, the Principle follow, and their power is boundless.

The other Great True Person also displayed their Divine Ability, some unleashing their natal Law Treasure to bombard others, some using earth-shattering secret techniques, and others invoking celestial phenomena to bless themselves.

In an instant, Sword Qi surged and raged, flames scorched the heavens and boiled the seas, ghostly wails and divine roars shook the earth, and the might of the dragon trembled across the eight wastelands.

More than a dozen terrifying forces, each with distinct properties but all reaching the pinnacle of this realm, frantically assaulted and tore apart the defensive system built by Qi Yun's side.

The Jade Divine Realm trembled violently, and countless fine cracks appeared on its surface; the Vast Righteous Qi river was shaken and flickered; the nine state rulers turned pale, clearly under immense pressure.

Although the Sacred Yuan Wenqu Star Lord was strong, he gradually felt the strain when facing multiple opponents of the same level, and the golden seal script around his body was gradually worn away.

Seeing his own formation becoming increasingly unstable under the enemy's relentless barrage, Qi Yun's eyes blazed with a brilliant blue-gold light!

He pointed his finger and drew a line in the air, and an ancient talisman, neither gold nor jade, wreathed in purple lightning and golden patterns, flew out from between his eyebrows - [Divine Firmament Thunder Talisman]!

The moment this talisman was unleashed, it instantly triggered the supreme authority of divine punishment in the the Unseen, causing the tribulation clouds to gather wildly over the entire West Sea!

"Boom!"

Countless thick, dragon-like bolts of azure-gold lightning, carrying a majestic and righteous supreme will to vanquish evil and destroy demons, poured down from the heavens like an inverted celestial river!

The target is none other than the True Person Zַhuanlun, Lady Jiuli, and the Dragon Crown Prince of the North Sea, who are at the forefront!

"What?!"

"Heaven's Will Thunder Method?!"

The three people's expressions changed drastically as they sensed the domineering Heaven's Will contained within the sea of lightning.

The three had no choice but to retreat hastily, each using their defensive True Person Zַhuanlun Divine Ability. Master Zhuanlun unleashed a Ten Thousand Souls Banner to barely hold on, while Lady Jiuli transformed into a phantom of a fire phoenix and dodged and weaved. The Dragon Crown Prince of the North Sea coiled up his dragon body and used his incredibly hard dragon scales to withstand the attack.

However, this sea of lightning covered an extremely wide area and its power was far beyond imagination. It suppressed the three of them in one area, making it difficult for them to break free and intervene in the main battlefield.

"Hmm?" Qi Yun raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly.

He clearly felt that the sea of lightning summoned by the Divine Firmament Thunder Talisman this time was several times more powerful than ever before!

The Heavenly Dao punishment contained within that thunder was pure and domineering, as if it had been blessed by some kind of power.

A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes, and his gaze unconsciously swept across the sky above him.

However, although Lei Hai was strong and directly suppressed three Great True Person, he could not reverse the overall disadvantage.

Qi Yun's side only had ten people, while the other side had more than a dozen Great True Person!

The Nine Continental Lords, relying on the Divine Wood Formation, barely withstood most of the attacks, but their strength was waning, and the emerald divine light was gradually dimming.

Sacred Yuan Wenqu Star Lord fought alone against several powerful enemies, including the True Person Sansi and the Dragon Crown Prince of the Eastern Sea.

Although they were not at a disadvantage, it was difficult for them to win.

The balance of power in the battle, given the enemy's overwhelming numerical advantage, began to slowly tilt towards the Xuanhuang True Person.

The cracks on the Emerald Realm are increasing, spreading like a spider web.

One of the rulers even let out a muffled groan, a trace of pale golden divine blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

At this critical moment, Qi Yun's eyes showed no panic, but rather a flash of decisiveness.

His figure swayed slightly, and a stream of "pure energy" suddenly shot out from the Niwan Palace on the top of his head!

[Gather Form and Disperse Qi]!

The pure energy transformed into the true form, while the original body remained in place to maintain the suppression of the Thunder Method!

He instantly withdrew, completely concealing his Qi Yun Dao at a speed beyond comprehension amidst the raging divine Divine Ability and turbulent currents of the Great Dao!

Their target is the flank of the battlefield, where they are currently entangled with the Sacred Yuan Wenqu Star Lord, the Dragon-Slaying Sword Master, and the True Person Sansi!

"Careful!"

"His target is you!"

A perceptive Great True Person noticed this and issued a stern warning.

However, Qi Yun's speed was too fast. Although he hadn't deliberately upgraded the [Gather Form and Disperse Qi] Law Technique over the years.

However, its automatic upgrades alone have now brought it to a version that is almost unsolvable.

Before the warning had even faded, his figure appeared out of thin air, about ten feet in front of the Dragon-Slaying Sword Master and the True Person Sansi!

Their pupils suddenly contracted!

The ancient sword behind the Dragon-Slaying Sword Master emitted a deafening clang, automatically unsheathing itself half an inch, and its chilling Dragon Slayer Sword Intent soared into the sky.

True Person Sansi instantly pushed his Sword Dao to its limit, becoming one with his sword, transforming into a deadly sword light that seemed poised to pierce through eternity!

But Qi Yun's actions were a fraction of a second faster than their reaction!

He didn't even look at the terrifying Sword Intent that was coming at him. He simply raised his right hand and, facing the two of them, loosely clasped his index finger and thumb together, forming an ancient hand seal.

Then, press gently.

[Heaven-Banning Rule]!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, no dazzling divine light.

There is only one indescribable stillness, a stillness that silences all things.

Centered on the illusory hand seal at Qi Yun's fingertips, an invisible yet so heavy that it froze the void within a thousand miles, a "rule" suddenly descended!

This rule does not target the physical body, nor does it damage Law Power; it points directly to the origin of the Great Dao!

The Dragon-Slaying Sword Master was horrified to discover that the spiritual connection between himself and his natal ancient sword, which had been passed down for thousands of years and contained the supreme Dao of Dragon Slaying, had been forcibly severed by an incomparably tyrannical force!

Moreover, his sword heart, Sword Intent, and all his insights and control over the way of "slaying" that he had painstakingly cultivated for thousands of years were instantly frozen and silenced, as if bound by an unbreakable shackle, and he could no longer mobilize them in the slightest!

He was like a puppet with its strings cut, the surging sword energy around him instantly dissipated, his face turned ashen, and he fell from that peak state of "man and sword as one" to a sudden drop in aura.

The feeling of the True Person Sansi was even more terrifying. He felt as if he had transformed from a "sword master" wielding a sword into a "mortal iron" stripped of all its spirituality and sharpness.

The supreme Daoist essence that severed cause and effect and destroyed all laws struggled wildly within his body, but it was like being trapped in an endless quagmire, suppressed and sealed by the power of the "Heaven-Banning Rule".

The deadly sword light he unleashed vanished silently and annihilated just three inches from Qi Yun's brow, without even causing a ripple.

The two of them stood frozen in place, as if struck by Movement Method, their eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

They could clearly feel that their connection with the Great Dao had been temporarily, but completely, "severed"!

For Great True Person who has honed their Dao Path to its peak, this is a blow more terrifying than death.

It was that strange and supernatural Divine Ability from before—the two had witnessed Qi Yun use the [Heaven-Banning Rule] before, and their hearts sank.

The Sword Dao is the foremost way of killing among all paths.

This great demon clearly intends to eliminate them first, thus leveling the score!

Qi Yun's expression was gentle, and he even nodded slightly to the two who had temporarily lost their ability to resist and whose faces showed despair. His tone was calm and even, but every word struck their hearts like a heavy hammer. "If I, Qi, wish to stop the Xuanhuang Calamity, I need to borrow the power to suppress the heavens."

"I'll temporarily borrow your cultivation Dao Path today."

I'm sorry.

"I will repay this in the next life."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeve, and a gentle yet irresistible force of absorption swept the Dragon-Slaying Sword Master and the True Person Sansi, whose cultivation was sealed and whose Great Dao was forbidden, into the universe within his sleeve.

The battlefield situation reversed in an instant!
