Chapter 1494: then translation of chapter title

「Rather than die on the Sword Qi Heavenly Path, let the people of my Qin family bury me with them! 」

Qin Cang's aura was deep and heavy; with a flick of his sleeve, a terrifying river of Sword Qi spanned the void, instantly ripping heaven and earth, crossing the distance of dozens of stars, locking onto Xuan Yang.

Wherever it passed, the stars along the way were all illuminated.

Everyone was utterly shocked.

A terrifying strike from the Dao Solid Realm!

Elder Li Mo appeared, his brow slightly furrowed; he never expected that after merely leaving for a moment, the examination square would see such a thing.

The deceased Qin Yan had personally been promised by Qin Cang himself, gaining a direct admission quota, showing how much Qin Cang valued him.

Elder Li Mo watched Yang Xuan's back, shaking his head repeatedly, unable to fathom where this person's courage came from.

「hiss! 」

Qin Cang's Sword Qi was vast like a sea, surging millions of li, its momentum growing stronger and stronger.

But in the end he was a step too slow; Yang Xuan had already stepped onto the Sword Qi Heavenly Path.

「Damn it! 」

Qin Cang's Sword Qi slammed onto the Sword Qi Heavenly Path, directly arousing the path's sword momentum; another terrifying sword momentum shot up into the sky, its sword-light comprehension blazing, its pressure completely surpassing Qin Cang.

When Sword Heavenly Blaze left this Sword Qi back then, his cultivation had reached the Dao Fusion Realm!

The two Sword Qis collided; in an instant Qin Cang's Sword Qi was crushed, yet the Sword Qi did not disappear but instead strangely merged into the Sword Qi Heavenly Path.

Seeing this, the crowd let out a gasp.

Xuan Yang actually managed to avoid a calamity!

Above the main star, Qin Cang hunched his body, stepping step by step through the void, arriving directly at the examination grounds, his gaze locked on Yang Xuan, killing intent and chill intertwining.

If looks could kill, Yang Xuan would probably have died many times already.

「This debt I've noted. When I break through the Heavenly Path, it will be your death date. 」

Yang Xuan stood on the first step of the Sword Qi Heavenly Path and said, turning back.

「Hahahaha! 」

Qin Cang laughed angrily, his gaunt body trembling, "This is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life."

He surely made up his mind; once Xuan Yang's corpse falls, he will investigate this person's background.

The ancient Dao lineage behind Xuan Yang must also be destroyed!

Elder Li Mo shook his head; now that Elder Qin Cang has intervened, he cannot interfere in this matter.

Yang Xuan directly stepped onto the steps; the first trial of the Sword Qi Heavenly Path descended.

「hiss hiss hiss! 」

If observed closely, each step is actually formed from countless tiny Sword Qi; stepping onto a step is equivalent to opposing the Sword Qi of Sword Heavenly Blaze.

There are a full hundred steps!

It is entirely a sea of Sword Qi.

Yang Xuan activated his Life-and-Death Sword Intent; sword intent burst forth from his body, forming a Life-and-Death Sword Domain beneath his feet; this domain surged outward, the terrifying Dao Resonance striking the steps.

He began to advance step by step toward the steps.

The tenth step!

The thirtieth step!

After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Yang Xuan directly reached the fiftieth step!

This was beyond everyone's expectations.

No one expected Xuan Yang to endure this long!

Elder Li Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, "Xuan Yang's sword dao talent is not bad."

Qin Cang gritted his teeth, 「This wicked obstacle! 」

He does not believe Xuan Yang can reach the summit of the Heavenly Path.

You should know that this Sword Qi Heavenly Path has existed for tens of thousands of years; over such a long span, fewer than ten monsters have reached the summit, alarming Sword Heavenly Blaze, who projected himself from the main sect's grounds.

「This wicked obstacle could never possibly reach the summit! 」

At that moment, having reached the fiftieth step, Yang Xuan sensed a devouring force within the Sword Qi.

This is precisely the Sword Dao of Sword Heavenly Blaze.

Devouring Sword Dao!

「Do you want to devour my Sword Resonance? 」 Yang Xuan's lips curled slightly, 「Rather, I will absorb your Sword Resonance. 」

His Life-and-Death Sword Intent burst forth, directly forcing a reversal of the Sword Qi on the steps.

Although the combined Sword Qi of the hundred steps is immensely vast, each individual step is not that grand.

Yang Xuan sat cross-legged directly on the fiftieth step, beginning to absorb Sword Resonance.

「hiss! 」

The Qingxuan Sword let out a sword hum, twining around his surroundings.

Strands of Sword Resonance were plucked from the steps, falling into his inner world; those he could not absorb were taken in by the Qingxuan Sword.

「What is he doing? 」

The crowd was puzzled and unable to understand.

crack! crack!

Soon after, the steps beneath Yang Xuan's feet began to crumble; after he stepped onto the fifty-first step, the fifty steps below vanished completely.

The crowd stared, stunned, 「He's absorbing Sword Resonance? How is that possible? 」

Qin Cang's face turned ferocious, 「This brat is cheating! 」

After several hours, Yang Xuan directly reached the hundredth step, arriving at one-third of the Heavenly Path.

Moreover, his cultivation actually directly broke through to the mid-stage of the One-Star Dao Lord Realm!

This matter caused an uproar throughout the sub-sect.

Actually, before this, many people had climbed the hundred dao steps, but what set Xuan Yang apart was that he had slain a member of the Qin family, feuding with Qin Cang, which instantly drew everyone's interest.

They wondered, if Xuan Yang truly reached the summit of the Sword Qi Heavenly Road, would Qin Cang continue to attack?

If we talk about background, the Qin family's main line is definitely stronger than Jian Tianye.

Countless divine senses stretched out, watching Yang Xuan's every move.

"This Xuan Yang made Jian Tianye's sword qi steps disappear; how will others challenge in the future?"

Many people felt resentful.

On the steps, Yang Xuan did not linger, but continued forward.

Second trial, Sword Intent Examination!

It is also a hundred dao steps!

At the very top stood an ancient sword intent stone tablet; although merely a phantom, it emitted an unparalleled sword intent pressure.

Jian Tianye's Devouring Sword Intent was overbearing and fierce, like a ferocious beast coiled.

Yang Xuan stepped onto the steps, boundless sword intent pressing down on him; he gritted his teeth, directly unleashing the Life-Death Sword Intent, entering the Human-Sword Unity state, as if stepping into a life-and-death desperate situation, tempering himself amidst the great terror of life and death.

His aura changed greatly, and he climbed step by step.

This was entirely a clash of two sword intents; the devouring intent and the life-and-death intent were like two millstones grinding against each other!

Half a day later.

When he reached the eightieth step, Yang Xuan directly spat out a mouthful of essence blood, "Pu!"

He was injured!

"One Sword Buries Life and Death!"

Yang Xuan's eyes turned scarlet; he directly unleashed this sword technique, and his sword aura instantly surged again.

In one sustained effort, he directly stepped onto the hundredth step!

He arrived before that ancient stone tablet and gazed at its inscription.

"Devouring Sword Intent, devour heaven and earth, transform myriad dao for one's own use..."

This is a part of the spiritual instruction of the sword manual cultivated by Jian Tianye; only by ascending this place can one observe it.

Yang Xuan shook his head; this is not the sword way he pursues.

He did not linger, but continued forward!

This act caused an uproar among the crowd; that sword qi stone tablet contains Jian Tianye's "Dao," which is an opportunity countless sword cultivators yearn for, yet this Yang Xuan actually does not comprehend it?

Moreover, during the third trial, a phantom of Jian Tianye will condense; only by comprehending Jian Tianye's Devouring Sword Dao can one have a chance to defeat him.

Li Mo couldn't resist sending a mental transmission to remind him: "Xuan Yang, you had best comprehend that stone tablet, otherwise you cannot pass the third trial."

Yang Xuan said lightly, "My sword way is sufficient."

Li Mo's face twitched; this is looking down on Senior Jian Tianye's sword way: "This brat is simply too arrogant!"
