The surroundings were deathly silent.

Everyone stood dumbfounded.

Even Wang Kaihe had exhausted every trick up his sleeve.

Yet that sword light, mighty enough to swallow the heavens, had been casually defused by two fingers!

Then a simple kick had ended the battle in an instant!

The entire process had been utterly clean and decisive!

"Utmost simplicity of the Great Dao—it must be the legendary utmost simplicity of the Great Dao!"

"The Divine Son's physical talent is simply terrifying beyond belief! The power in those two fingers has already surpassed our imagination!"

"I knew Lord Divine Son had to be extraordinary!"

Yun Xinyan's beautiful eyes shone with brilliance as well. Clearly, Su Changge's strength had exceeded even her expectations!

Su Changge paid no heed to the discussions around him. Instead, he found them rather dull.

He had long since mastered sword intent and sword qi, so in his eyes, that sword strike just now had been utterly laughable!

All flash and no substance. It looked decisive, but in truth, it had completely missed the point.

Put bluntly, it was nothing but flashy nonsense!

"You have truly disappointed me. You dare call this level of swordsmanship among the best in the Returning Origin Holy Land? It is utterly watered down," Su Changge said indifferently.

"Hmph! Su Changge, you only possess such terrifying physical strength because of your Saintly Body talent!"

"You say my talent in the sword is lacking, yet you do not understand swordsmanship in the slightest. What makes you think you are anything?"

Wang Kaihe had climbed back to his feet by then. His expression was stubborn, and he was clearly unconvinced.

Su Changge smiled faintly, looking at him with a touch of pity.

"I do not understand swordsmanship in the slightest?"

"A sparrow that can only fly through the woods dares speak wildly of an eagle soaring above the Nine Heavens?"

Wang Kaihe's expression darkened further. The other man had actually compared him to a sparrow!

"As the Divine Son, are you only capable of such verbal tricks? How laughable!" Wang Kaihe sneered unwillingly.

"Fine, since you are so unconvinced."

"Then today, this Divine Son will show you what true swordsmanship is!"

As his words fell.

Su Changge's eyes instantly became incomparably sharp!

A biting sword intent bloomed between heaven and earth like a lotus!

Around Su Changge, one red and one blue strand of sword qi descended from the void!

The red sword qi was like a blazing sun, seeming ready to burn all things to ashes!

The blue sword qi was like ancient frost, seeming ready to freeze eternity!

The two extreme sword qis continuously merged and evolved!

It was as though yin and yang were being born within them, and the sword qi could cleave through the yin and yang of the world!

"H-Heavens, this is sword qi?"

"Lord Divine Son has actually mastered sword qi, and it is not ordinary sword qi!"

"It looks like Fire Attribute and Ice Attribute sword qi. That is impossible! Two opposing existences defy all reason!"

"What is impossible about it? The Divine Son's talent cannot be defined by the common laws of this world!"

But it was not over yet. Another vast sword intent erupted from Su Changge, soaring up into the Nine Heavens!

It seemed poised to pierce the firmament and cut down the Nine Heavens Star!

Godslaying Sword Intent—at a single thought, Gods and Devils; the sword could reach the divine!

"Sword, come!"

Su Changge formed a sword gesture with his right hand, then pointed directly at the heavens.

Buzz—

A resplendent and majestic sword qi shot from his hand, piercing straight into the heavens!

In an instant, sword qi crisscrossed the skies, and a towering sword intent appeared above the firmament, poised to slash down from the void!

Rumble!

The winds and clouds above the sky shifted as violent gales howled.

Terrifying sword qi, as though capable of destroying the world, pressed down from above, carrying a heaven-shattering, earth-destroying might!

Buzz!

Within the Sword Burial Abyss, countless ancient swords began to ring. Their roaring sword qi transformed into pillars of sword light.

Clang!!

Accompanied by an even more resounding dragon-like cry from the ancient swords, tens of thousands of ancient swords bloomed with blazing halos.

Countless sword shadows seemed to answer Su Changge's summons.

At that moment, a heavenly vision descended!

At that moment, all anyone could see was swords filling the sky!

At that moment, everyone seemed to be immersed in an endless ocean of sword qi, with only that White-Clad Figure remaining, as dazzling and brilliant as the blazing sun!

"W-What kind of sword intent is this!? It has actually affected the Sword Burial Abyss!"

"In all these years, the Sword Burial Abyss has never displayed such a sight!"

"The Divine Son's talent in the sword is this overwhelming too? He is simply invincible!"

"So long as the Sword Burial Abyss gains an ancient sword's recognition, it will ring out. Judging by this, nearly every ancient sword is singing, isn't it?!"

"Something is not right! When an ancient sword grants its recognition, its cry is usually rather low. But these sword cries are incomparably high-pitched, as though they are immensely excited!"

Ten thousand swords sang in unison, sword qi spanning the sky!

Such terrifying sword qi even made some Holy Land elders tremble uncontrollably!

Many disciples did not even dare lift their heads to look. That sword qi was simply too terrifying, as if it would tear their minds apart!

Rumble!

Sword qi crisscrossed the heavens, shaking heaven and earth!

Finally.

As Su Changge lowered his finger, the terrifying sword qi slowly dissipated!

Yet the sword intent lingering between heaven and earth still made people shudder with fear!

Only then did the crowd let out long breaths. Some could not stop cold sweat from streaming down their backs, as though they had just endured some great terror!

Even more people did not dare raise their heads to look at Su Changge!

In their eyes, that figure just now, set against countless sword shadows, had seemed like a Sword Immortal descending into the mortal world.

Terrifying sword qi surged forth without restraint. Merely sensing that trace of its aura was enough to make them tremble in fear!

"I have merely learned a little of the surface of swordsmanship. You have all witnessed a joke," Su Changge said, cupping his hands.

Quite a few people nearly coughed up blood in anger. If Su Changge had acted more arrogantly, they might have accepted it!

But saying it like this was not the same as indirectly calling them all useless?

Yet they could not refute him!

Su Changge then smiled at Wang Kaihe. "I told you that you really are weak. Now, I have proven it to you."

"But now I feel that you are even weaker than I said you were."

"Y-You—" Before Wang Kaihe could finish speaking, he spat out a mouthful of old blood!

His chest heaved violently, his eyes rolled back, and he actually fainted on the spot!

"If the Divine Son had used sword qi just now, Wang Kaihe would surely have been crushed into dust in an instant, right?"

"A sword cultivator with an Innate Saintly Body Dao Embryo—unheard of!"

The crowd looked at Wang Kaihe lying on the ground and could not help feeling some sympathy for him. This would probably leave him with a Great Dao Shadow, wouldn't it?

All they could say was that their Divine Son was too terrifying!

At the same time, within the Returning Origin Ancestral Land, several ancestors watched with profound gazes.

"Changge's sword qi is far from simple. Supreme yin and supreme yang are inherently contradictory, yet he has mastered them both at once. This defies the laws of heaven and earth."

"Hahaha, Changge has surprised us more than once already. I think it is only natural!" Po Jun Ancestor said with great satisfaction.

Taking in the Holy Daughter and defeating the Holy Son—after this incident, Su Changge had firmly established the prestige of the Divine Son!

The Distant Ancestor's remnant shadow sank into thought. Compared with that strange sword qi, he cared more about that sword intent that soared into the heavens!

"Intent of Immortality... that sword intent even carries a trace of the Intent of Immortality..."

"Such terrifying sword intent could not possibly appear in this lowly world..."

"Changge, just how many secrets are you hiding?" The Distant Ancestor's gaze was profound, as though it could pierce through time.

However, he did not dwell on it too much. So long as Su Changge was the Holy Land's Divine Son, that was enough.

"The light of hope belonging to our Holy Land shall surely shine upon the true world."
