Sword, Come!

"I see----"

Feeling the surging power within his body, and a resonance from the All Wonders Heaven the Unseen, Qi Yun's eyes shone with a blazing white light.

"To attain this Fruition Status, one must hone and master the Basic Sword Qi to the level of True Lord!"

What absurd and domineering conditions!

For an ordinary cultivator to become True Lord, they must comprehend the Great Dao, align themselves with the Dao Fruit, and receive the blessing of a rank before they can wield a portion of the power of heaven and earth and elevate their own Dao Path to the level of "Monarch".

This is a process in which "Tao" and "Position" complement each other.

The requirement for this [Immortal Immortal-Slaying Dao Fruit] is to cultivate the "Sword Qi" technique, a method of killing, to a level that is comparable to, or even defines, the cultivation of a "True Lord" while in a state of "no position"!

This is tantamount to asking a mortal to deliver a divine blow with their own mortal body before gaining divine approval!

Without the elevation of Fruition Status brought about by attaining a higher rank, how could Great True Person's cultivation and understanding alone elevate a "Sword Qi" to the level of True Lord?

This is a complete paradox.

A vicious cycle!

This is precisely why the "Immortal-Slaying" Dao Fruit has remained dormant in the All Wonders Heaven ages, with no one able to truly activate it.

"Only someone like me, forcibly filling all the slots using the Law Technique Panel," could satisfy the ridiculously demanding prerequisites for this Fruition Status.

A sudden realization flashed through Qi Yun's mind, along with a touch of emotion.

It was truly a lucky accident.

"Now that it has been activated, why shouldn't it be used?"

The blazing white light in his eyes suddenly solidified, and all distracting thoughts were instantly extinguished. Qi Yun's mind completely connected with the [Basic Sword Qi 51.0] hanging at the top of the panel.

"Rise!"

There were no complicated sword techniques, no earth-shattering displays of power.

With a mere thought, he activated the already transformed core of the Law Technique.

"Boom!!!"

The next instant, Qi Yun's already surging aura, like a vortex of stars, seemed to be hit by billions of blazing suns, and it roared to the top!

His figure suddenly appeared infinitely majestic in the eyes of all the Great True Person!

It is not simply a Dharma Heaven and Earth Divine Ability heavens and the earth, but rather an infinite elevation of one's "sense of existence".

The deep blue Daoist robe remained, the black hair remained, but where he stood, space lost its meaning, and time seemed to slow down.

The majestic, shattered West Sea, the vast and boundless Xuanhuang Heaven, and even the Heavenly Court, continuously bombarded by billions of Sword-Ray and radiating immortal light—

All these grand scenes appeared "tiny" in comparison to his figure, as if the entire weight and vastness of the Xuanhuang Home Realm were firmly trampled under his feet by his own "power"!

He was the sole focus of the world at that moment!

The central axis through which everything operates!

"Ugh----!"

Just as his aura reached its peak, as if a True Lord the world, Qi Yun's brows suddenly furrowed.

Heavy!

So heavy!

The unimaginable "heaviness" did not affect his physical body, but rather directly affected his foundation in the Great Dao, the origin of his Divine Soul, and even his social status!

It was as if he was not raising a Sword Qi, but an entire Great Dao of Swords that had been forcibly compressed and given the concept of "Immortal-Slaying"!

His bones groaned under the strain, and the Law Power surging through his meridians flowed sluggishly, like a river thrown into a block of iron.

The pale golden sword mark between his brows flickered wildly, as if it might be torn apart at any moment by the terrifying power within.

Using the power of Great True Person to forcibly "assume" the power of True Lord.

This is tantamount to a child wielding a mighty weapon.

One wrong move, and you could perish before even harming the enemy!

"Cough----" A trace of pale golden blood slowly spilled from the corner of Qi Yun's mouth, instantly evaporated by the intense Sword Intent surrounding him.

But the blazing white light in his eyes did not dim; instead, it became even more focused and resolute.

"One sword, just one sword!"

Enduring the terrifying pressure that felt like he was being crushed by the weight of the entire Xuanhuang Realm, Qi Yun focused all his mind, all his will, and all his control over the Great Luo Heaven on the Sword Qi in his "palm." His right hand, with its fingers pointing like a sword, began to rise very slowly, yet with unparalleled stability.

There was no actual sword tip, but the void where it pointed had been completely reduced to nothingness.

The target is the majestic Heavenly Court ahead, still trembling amidst the torrent of Sword-Ray, yet stubbornly supported by its profound foundation!

Buzz-

Just as Qi Yun focused all his attention on the Heavenly Court, his Sword Intent reaching its peak, about to unleash this earth-shattering sword strike.

Amitabha Buddha

A magnificent, vast chant, seemingly resounding from the very end of time, yet also echoing deep within the hearts of everyone present, shook the West Sea without warning!

This Buddhist chant carries a supreme compassion and majesty that soothes all restlessness, suppresses all delusions, and liberates all attachments.

The moment the sound rang out, the murderous Sword Intent that filled the heavens and earth, the turbulent flow of Spiritual Qi, and even the torrent of billions of Sword-Ray that Qi Yun was continuously bombarding the Heavenly Court, all froze for an extremely brief moment!

The Arhat Moluo Dan, who had been staring intently at Qi Yun in the distant void with a complex and unfathomable expression, suddenly shuddered!

The expression on his face vanished instantly the moment the Buddhist chant began, as if dust had been wiped away by an invisible cloth.

Instead, there is a gaze that looks down upon the world, understands cause and effect, and is extremely indifferent and calm.

"Buzz--!"

The Buddhist aura emanating from Arhat Moluo Dan underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant.

The originally pure and vast Arhat Buddha light, carrying the wrath of the Vajra Subduer, was like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, completely gathered and transformed, turning into a boundless, warm and peaceful golden sea, yet containing an undeniable majesty!

As the golden sea surged forth, illusory golden lotuses bloomed and swayed from the ocean, accompanied by chants that seemed to emanate simultaneously from countless Buddhist kingdoms.

A vast and profound sense of "saving all living beings and taking refuge in the Buddha" spread silently, like mercury spilling onto the ground.

Wherever it passed, even the space itself seemed to soften and become reverent.

"Damn it! Another one?!"

The Yellow Springs Netherworld True Person Zַhuanlun, who is closest to "Moluo Dan," will be the first to be affected!

The gray mist and ghostly aura surrounding him, representing death and annihilation, melted away like ice and snow under the scorching sun, emitting a mournful "hissing" sound, under the pure, vast, and specifically restraining golden sea of Buddhist light.

He himself felt a violent turmoil in his Divine Soul, and an intense impulse to relinquish all killing desires and sit in meditation to chant scriptures surged uncontrollably into his heart!

Startled, he let out a strange cry and retreated with all his might, barely managing to break free from the influence of the golden sea's edge. Still shaken, he couldn't help but swear.

The other Great True Person also changed their expressions drastically, urging their Law Power to protect their minds, and looked at "Moluo Dan," whose aura had undergone a qualitative change, their eyes filled with surprise and horror.

This is definitely not the method of Arhat!

With an expression that had completely returned to indifference and calm, "Moluo Dan" took a step forward.

With this step, golden lotuses spontaneously appeared beneath his feet, shrinking the distance to an inch. In an instant, he stood firmly between Qi Yun and the Heavenly Court, which was under attack!

He gently raised his eyes, which seemed to contain endless wisdom and the passage of time, and calmly looked at Qi Yun, who was focusing all his efforts on condensing the Immortal-Slaying Sword, his aura as domineering as an abyss.

He spoke, his voice both grand and peaceful, yet carrying an aura of overwhelming power. "May Buddha have mercy."

"The Heavenly Court is involved in the destiny of Xuanhuang, and its importance is immense."

"Benefactor, could you please grant this humble monk some face?"

This item must not be destroyed.

A sudden flash of divine light appeared in Qi Yun's blazing white eyes, like a peerless sword drawn half an inch from its sheath, severing the gentle Buddhist aura that permeated the surroundings.

Looking directly at Moluo Dan before him, he suddenly smiled faintly, "World-Honored One? Heh, as expected—"

If it were a junior—"

He paused, and the Sword Qi around him, which had been slightly suppressed by the Buddhist light, suddenly erupted again, soaring into the sky and forcing a blank area out of the vast golden sea.

"Are you determined to destroy it?"

Upon hearing this, the World-Honored One's expression remained unchanged; he showed neither anger nor pity, only a serene composure born of profound understanding.

"Then this humble monk has no choice but to send you, benefactor, back into the cycle of reincarnation."

Hands clasped together!

"Thump-!!!"

"Buzz--!!!"

In an instant, the sound of great bells and drums resounded throughout the entire West Sea, and the chanting of Buddhist hymns echoed through the heavens!

It was as if millions of ancient temples were ringing their morning bells at the same time, and countless Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were chanting scriptures simultaneously!

Then, to the astonishment of all the Great True Person—

At the top of the sky, beside the strange phenomenon of the intertwining of the two energies of Xuanhuang, the void rippled violently like waves.

The next instant, a pair of boundless, pale golden eyes, brimming with endless compassion and majesty, slowly appeared!

These eyes were so enormous that they occupied the entire sky, as if they were looking down on the entire Xuanhuang Home Realm from beyond the realm!

Under the gaze of those eyes, even a powerful Great True Person felt as insignificant as dust. All his thoughts, cultivation, and Dao Path seemed to be seen through, leaving him unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance.

Then, boundless Buddhist light converged, Principle intertwined, and a colossal golden hand, obscuring the sky and the sun, slowly condensed, emerged, and then—

A palm strike!

The palm has clear lines like mountains and valleys, and each fingerprint is like a miniature Buddhist kingdom. Its size is so great that it seems to be able to hold the entire vast West Sea in the palm of one's hand!

"Boom-!!!"

Before the Buddha's palm even arrived, the terrifying, crushing pressure, like a massive, towering mountain, struck Qi Yun first with a "whoosh!"

Qi Yun's Daoist robe fluttered wildly, his black hair flew against the air, and fine cracks appeared on his body beneath the robe, from which pale golden blood seeped out continuously.

But he remained unmoved.

Those blazing white eyes, illuminated by the golden sea of Buddha light, radiated a white glow. Far from dimming, they became sharper and sharper, like a peerless divine blade being honed!

The pale golden sword mark between his brows shone with an extreme brightness!

Despite the immense pressure of the Buddha's palm, which could crush an ordinary Great True Person into dust, his aura not only didn't diminish but actually increased!

"Send me into the cycle of reincarnation?"

Qi Yun slowly raised his head, his blazing white eyes fixed on the golden Buddha's palm that was slowly pressing down and blocking out all light. His face was no longer gentle, only filled with the domineering fierceness of a sword pointing to the sky.

"If you were so capable, you wouldn't have needed to hide until now!"

A soaring roar ruthlessly shattered the World-Honored One's composure.

The next moment.

Just as the golden Buddha's palm was about to strike.

Qi Yun all his strength and spirit at that moment to raise his sword to the sky!

He roared, his voice piercing through the air and shattering the rocks, overpowering the chants and booming bells, carrying with it an unparalleled will to summon all the swords of the heavens and command the very essence of Sword Dao: "Swords, come!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

This long shout traversed the endless void and crashed into the transcendent All Wonders Heaven!

In the center of the All Wonders Heaven, the mysterious Sword Dao Fruition Status that had been cheering and trembling, its entire body shimmering with an ancient gray light, suddenly let out the loudest and most stirring cry since the beginning of time, at Qi Yun's call filled with an indomitable sword heart!

"Zheng--!!!"

Amidst the whistling sound, the gray light above the Fruition Status surged, and its form instantly became incredibly solid.

Suddenly, it turned its "sword tip" and aimed it at the solid seal that covered the All Wonders Heaven and separated the inside from the outside.

The gray light condensed to its extreme, transforming into a tiny yet indescribably refined gray light shuttle.

"Laugh--!"

Under the watchful eyes of Qingyuan True Lord Wendao, True Lord Vast Sea and Fine Dust, Desolate Halberd True Lord, and all the True Lord present.

This gray Sword-Ray ignored the distance and the layers upon layers of supreme Dao patterns flowing on the seal, enough to withstand the attack of True Lord.

With an overbearing, resolute, and indomitable attitude.

It pierced through the incredibly strong seal of the All Wonders Heaven!

A tiny crack appeared on the sealing light barrier.

Immediately afterwards, a wisp of ancient gray light, condensed to its extreme, shot out through the pierced gap, heading straight for the West Sea below, straight for the deep blue figure who was raising his sword to the sky under the golden Buddha's palm!
