Chapter 399: Three Thousand Feet of Bai Fa, Taibai's One Sword Decides the Floating Clouds
Qian Chen brandished his iron sword, the sword light transforming into a rainbow-like flash of lightning. The sword qi surged out, manifesting layers of blue lotus petals that struck straight toward the old dragon's divine domain, which shrouded five hundred miles around.
Before, as long as Wang Longxiang's sword qi entered this range, it would be suppressed by an invisible force, and the magic power would all be weakened. But this time, the "Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds" in Qian Chen's hand was like breaking bamboo, not suppressed by the old dragon's divine domain at all, and even wherever the sword qi went, it split the divine domain in two.
This sword was stabbed out flatly with the momentum of splitting water, which seemed to have nothing to do with the sentence "Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds" in the sword formula.
But the condensation of the sword light could actually cut open the divine domain, which was formless and qualityless, and could be called the realm of law.
The old dragon felt very wary in his heart. The green rainbow of sword light vaguely hid inexplicable power. The powerful power scattered by the previous few green lotus sword styles was completely restrained in this sword. At first, the sword qi in all directions gathered, and there was some momentum. Later, this sword became more and more restrained, as if it were a black hole, not only without any leakage of sword qi, but also constantly swallowing the momentum, sword qi, and vitality scattered outside.
Wherever it passed, although the power did not leak at all, the river surface between the two still cracked a huge opening.
"No, if the power of this sword did not leak, then why did the river water crack?"
The old dragon was vigilant in his heart. His divine domain and true dragon scales, which he relied on for self-protection, seemed to have no ability to resist in front of this sword. Its true dragon body swung its long tail, as if squeezing into the void, and swam out. The dragon clan is born with the ability to fly, but unlike birds and cultivators, the dragon clan's "flying" ability is more accurately "swimming".
Birds fly by relying on the ability to control the wind, such as Kunpeng; some are the same as cultivators' escape light, or flying by transforming the body into light, or escaping by the five elements.
Only the true dragon relies on the perception of space.
Other creatures act in space, only the dragon clan "swims" in space.
This ability to swim freely in the void also had a conception in Qian Chen's previous life, called "curvature engine"!
The divine dragon swung its tail, swam into the void, and avoided this plain sword.
Qian Chen's sword was not aimed at him. The sword light brushed past the true dragon body, and the condensed sword light had no obstacles, like cutting through a thin piece of paper, slashing through the water ball, as if nothing...
Suspended above the Dajiang, the water ball with a diameter of five hundred miles, like the city of Jiankang suspended as a whole, was cut open flatly under this sword.
The huge force that bound Wang Longxiang, like mountains and seas tilting and pressing, disappeared instantly.
His body suddenly loosened, and he was about to fall to the river surface. He barely opened his eyes, and could only see a figure vaguely in front of him.
Wang Longxiang still held the long sword tightly, supporting himself.
The old dragon dodged the terrifying power of this sword in time, and his heart was about to loosen, but he noticed a sharp pain in his tail.
He looked back and saw that only half of the dragon tail remained. A large splash of blood rained and flew, and even the last piece of tail bone was cut off flatly. Although it did not hit head-on, the sword light finally did not completely dodge when it shot, and it was brushed past the dragon tail.
The old dragon was sweating coldly in his heart. If he had blindly relied on the true dragon's scales and the divine domain's protection just now, I am afraid that what was broken at this moment would not be just a section of the tail!
"This sword, if you didn't use it to save people, it really had a few possibilities of putting me to death." After the panic, the old dragon calmed down again, and still couldn't help but mock according to the nature of the dragon clan: "What a ridiculous... friendship!"
"It's a pity, I have already guessed the mystery of this sword!" the old dragon thought secretly.
"Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds!" This style is not just sword qi restrained and power condensed.
Its true mystery is to apply the power of sword qi to a brand new level. If you say that the magic of manipulating vitality is painting on white paper, using your own colors to cover other people's colors. This sword is equivalent to cutting the paper on which the vitality is carried. As long as the paper carrying the vitality is cut, no matter how tough the form on it is, it will be broken.
So the power of this sword is aimed at space!
Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds, using floating clouds to represent formless and qualityless things, cutting space, so all vitality can be cut off!
Although the old dragon didn't know how Qian Chen used the magic power of the Yin Spirit level to do what the Nascent Soul should be able to do, as long as he knew the root of this sword, he would have a way to avoid it.
"You still don't understand after all!"
Qian Chen's sword of splitting water had been stabbed out, and a wound spanning thousands of miles cracked on the Dajiang, but the flowing river water could not make the crack close. Only when the space cut by this sword healed would it disappear.
Drawing a sword to break the water, it is not a legend after all!
"This sword is just the beginning..."
Wang Longxiang, who was out of trouble, suddenly looked up and looked at the sword marks under his feet, revealing shock.
Qian Chen's sword, which had exhausted its momentum, did not stop at this moment, but suddenly lifted up, pulled up horizontally after a stab, and the blade was horizontal to the sky.
The sword shines on the long sky for three thousand feet, and can cut off flying birds with floating clouds...
This is "Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds, the princes all come west"!
At this moment, the thunder sea of clouds gathered by the old dragon in the sky was cut open by this sword instantly. The heavenly light descended from that line of abyss, but it illuminated the trajectory of Qian Chen's sword.
The surface cut by the sword qi was like the deepest darkness, swallowing any light. Under the sunlight, a black line that could only be seen from a specific angle was revealed.
Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds is not a sword cutting space, but guiding the power of the cosmic realms, using the squeezing force between the cosmic realms to squeeze the space and burst it.
It is to create a surface where space intersects with the power of one sword.
When Li Taibai created this move in the past, he used peerless sword arts to draw upon the power of the sun and moon's rising and setting, incorporating the sun, moon, and stars into his sword. By borrowing this immense power, he guided the special force that the heavenly realm exerts to pull upon other worlds.
This power is the power of ascension!
The power of ascension makes the heavenly realm overlap with the world he is in, squeezing out the space fault.
The ultimate goal that cultivators in the world seek and vomit blood to achieve, and regard as the end of the Dao path, "ascension", is actually just a sword of Li Taibai. The spirit, brilliance, ambition, and arrogance of this sword show Li Taibai's personality vividly.
The true meaning of "Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds, the princes all come west" is actually—it is rumored that the heavenly realm is above the nine clouds, so I use sword qi to cut off the floating clouds, and I won't go to ascension! Let you all come over!
This sword is the real "Sword opens the heavenly gate"!
Of course, the real "Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds" can cut the Heavenly Immortal. Li Taibai's peak sword after Nascent Soul is naturally not what Qian Chen can cast now. So the power this sword leads is not the power of the heavenly realm... Among the cosmic realms, how can there be only one ancient heavenly realm that influences each other?
Besides the "ascension" power that connects the heavenly realm, there is another kind of power where the cosmic realms intersect, which is easier to trigger.
That is "death"!
Therefore, the power Qian Chen borrowed for this sword is the power of the Nine Heavens!
The old dragon's divine domain was formed by the help of a million Yin souls and his Yin soil blessed land, so the power of death in the divine domain was unimaginably powerful. Qian Chen used death to enter the sword, guiding the power of the Nine Heavens to descend into the world, causing the Nine Heavens Yin World and the Earth Immortal Yang World to intersect in the old dragon's divine domain. Although it cannot be called easy, it is completely within Qian Chen's driving.
The old dragon guessed the appearance of this sword, but did not see through its true essence at all.
That's why Qian Chen said: "You still don't understand after all!"
And the one who really saw a trace of the essence of this sword was Wang Longxiang, who was on the verge of collapse. With his own sword heart clear, he saw through the thick death intent and the terrifying shadow of the Nine Heavens in Qian Chen's sword, so he was so surprised that Qian Chen could drive this forbidden power so easily.
"I won't go to the underworld, you come yourself!"
If Li Taibai's sword was despising the heavenly realm and light immortals and gods. Qian Chen was despising death and mocking ghosts and gods at this moment.
"Sorry, as an innate spirit treasure, I won't die! If the Nine Heavens wants me, then it can only chase me itself. If you catch up with me, I will let you..."
The Nine Heavens descended from that line, and the old dragon realized something was wrong at this time.
The million Yin souls he purified with divine curses and his Yin soil divine domain were all being pulled by the black line that appeared faintly at the sword mark. The Yin souls that turned into his peerless magic power were easily freed from the shackles of his divine domain and magic power under the pull of the black line.
Countless Yin soul ghost fires emerged from the divine domain visible to the naked eye, gathered into a river like stars, and fell into that line of darkness.
At this moment, ten thousand souls fell together!
"No!"
The old dragon understood what happened at this time, but he was powerless to stop it. The instinct of the soul returning to the underworld gathered together. At this moment, the power of the Nine Heavens was so powerful that it easily tore the old dragon's divine domain.
Yin soil, souls, Yin soldiers, divine generals, all were pulled by the power of the Nine Heavens at this moment. That thin black line swallowed countless Yin souls that escaped from the old dragon.
The tyrannical magic power followed and escaped from the body, swallowed by the Nine Heavens.
Those countless Yin souls seemed to take away some things in the old dragon's body. After everything brought by the Driving Souls to Transform Yuan, All Gods Curse disappeared, the Yin soil he controlled, his divine generals and Yin soldiers, all fell into that bottomless abyss together. Even his scales could no longer maintain their luster, presenting a dehydrated dead gray. His dragon eyes, which were like pearls, became dim and yellow, as if they had also taken away his essence, qi, and spirit.
The old dragon helplessly returned to human form, his scattered hair had turned gray and white, and he knelt on the river surface powerlessly, his face already covered with wrinkles.
"Karma backlash!"
Qian Chen sighed. The cause and effect of the million Yin souls borrowed were not repaid, and they would take that price themselves.
He turned around and withdrew this sword, withdrawing the power of the Yin world back to the Nine Heavens. This lightness made Wang Longxiang look at him highly again. Being able to connect to the power of the Nine Heavens was naturally terrifying, but being able to send this released magic dragon back was a truly powerful thing.
The Nine Heavens is always thinking about swallowing the cosmic realms.
Connecting to the power of the Nine Heavens can naturally make it cooperate, but wanting to close this released magic dragon back is a desperate thing.
"He lost!"
The iron sword in Qian Chen's hand broke inch by inch. This iron sword, which was worth a thousand taels of silver in the mortal world and whose quality could only be said to be good, finally ended its life after bearing so much amazing sword qi and finally bearing an invasion of the power of the Nine Heavens.
Without a sword in his hand, Qian Chen had no intention of taking the old dragon's life. Anyway, he was like this now, and in the future, there would be the Dao Academy Heavenly Master to settle today's affairs. The outcome would not be much better than death, so it is better not to touch the mold of the Heavenly Court at will.
Wang Longxiang stood in the distance with his sword, looking at each other with Qian Chen across an old dragon.
Qian Chen grabbed the wine gourd at his waist and walked towards him...
When passing by the old dragon, it suddenly raised its head, and there was no weakness in its eyes, it was already determined—"I am a god, I would rather die in battle..."
Its brow suddenly bulged, and it turned into a dragon again. The divine soul burned, the dragon body shattered, and it hit Qian Chen with a destructive blow that made the vitality collapse and decay.
And Qian Chen had empty hands and no sword.
At this moment, Wang Longxiang abandoned all distracting thoughts, fear, weakness, and family concerns, the bonds of relatives...
"If this sword is slashed down, it is killing a god!"
Why didn't Qian Tang dare to draw his sword? It was not that he didn't have the courage, but that the children of noble families, while enjoying preferential treatment, also had to shoulder responsibilities. Emotion and reason, morality and concerns, blood and bonds, were all shackles that could not be cut off on them. Even if there was infinite courage in his heart, there was a moment when he could not firmly slash a sword.
Killing a god in the mortal world, the crime is unforgivable!
Even if it is Wang Xie, even if it is the great sect of the current immortal sect, it cannot anger the Heavenly Court... This is, the iron rule of the Heavenly Law!
But at this moment, Wang Longxiang's sword was pure and clear, and all concerns were cut off by that momentum of having progress without retreat, having going without returning, having me without him. The sword light turned into a white rainbow and pierced towards the old dragon's heart...
Qian Chen did not look back.
"Sword come!"
In the stone room, the Master Chunyang One Qi Sword placed on Sima Rui's table vibrated suddenly, turned into a stream of light, flew out, flashed through heavy space in an instant, so fast that people couldn't see the sword light, and fell into Qian Chen's hand.
Qian Chen looked back with a sword, pointing directly at the thousand-foot true dragon that was hitting him with a destructive aura.
At this moment, his spirit suddenly spread, sank into the Dao Dust Bead, drove the true spirit in the body, turned a thought, just a thought, the surrounding time and space seemed to be suddenly stagnant, the thought in the Dao Dust Bead turned, the changes of the vicissitudes of the world, the artistic conception of the passage of time over millions of years, also merged into this sword...
"Three thousand feet of white hair, the sorrow is as long as this!"
The sword tip stopped at the old dragon's brow, floating quietly, never breaking through another inch.
But the old dragon's eyes were completely empty, and in his eyes, there was no god...
Just as Wang Longxiang's sword arrived, the thousand-foot true dragon body suddenly collapsed, turned into flying ash in the river wind, scattered, and was brought away cleanly by the river water.
…………
In the stone room, the scenes of Qian Chen and Wang Longxiang joining forces to fight the dragon god were imprinted in everyone's eyes.
The shock and astonishment brought to everyone were almost crazy. The aftermath of the battle, the thunder machine tossing between the three, was enough to beat anyone in the stone room into powder and fly ash. Without the protection of the Jin Yu seal of Zhenjiang, just the palm of the old dragon mastering the five thunders and hitting the Great Might Divine Thunder could shake to death 90% of the cultivators here.
Wang Longxiang's heavenly gate supernatural power, and then Qian Chen's sword opening the heavenly gate to hit the dragon god hard, the speed of the change of the situation made people unable to take care of it.
Originally thought that the dragon god's momentum was incomparable, comparable to the Yang Spirit, it must be the result of sweeping this place and killing Wang Longxiang like a broken bamboo.
As a result, Wang Longxiang and the unknown cultivator beside him joined forces, cooperated with each other, and hit the Dragon King hard with a near-perfect sword... That inconspicuous, holding a ridiculous broken iron sword and daring to step forward to meet the dragon god, like an absurd and ridiculous clown who didn't know his own strength, the four-foot iron sword had the power to split the river, and the swordsmanship cultivation was vaguely above Wang Longxiang.
Later, at the moment the Dragon God cast his divine curse and refined the entire river into a divine domain, others trembled in fear, even feeling that the Jin Island of Zhenjiang could not withstand the fury of such divine might and wishing to flee in a panic. It was Qian Chen again, alone with his sword, whose Blue Lotus Zang Zang Jian Ge shook the world, single-handedly defeating the Dragon God.
Sima Yue's hidden cultivation, his proud dark hands, and trump cards were like jokes in front of Qian Chen, and could not bear any sword of his Green Lotus Zang Zang Jian Ge.
"How to get the leaning-on-heaven sword, crossing the sea to slash the long whale!"
"The pen falls and the wind and rain are shocked, the poem is made and the ghosts and gods weep!"
"Heaven and earth are the bellows, flowing through the Great Ease!"
"Waving the sword to decide the floating clouds, the princes all come west!"
"Three thousand feet of white hair, the sorrow is as long as this!"
Five swords and five styles, shocking the world, anyone who can get one is enough to roam for a while, but now they all appear in one person's hands.
At this time, Sima Yue could only tremble and say: "He killed the Heavenly Court True God, violated the Heavenly Law, offended the Heavenly Court, how can there be a good end? Seeking his own death... seeking his own death!"
Sima Yue left his seat in horror and wanted to leave.
But at this time, a figure stepped into the stone room...
He held the Master Chunyang One Qi Sword and walked slowly, as inconspicuous as when he came, but looking directly into his eyes, it seemed that he could see the vicissitudes of life, countless changes in time and space, giving people a sense of vastness. Qian Chen came to the stone platform, turned the sword hilt, and touched the Master Chunyang One Qi Sword lightly. Just the time of one sword was enough for him to comprehend the true meaning of the One Qi Sword Control Technique remaining on the sword.
Returning the Taibai lost sword as it was, Qian Chen looked up at Sima Yue who was about to leave.
The two lines of sight crossed, Qian Chen raised his eyebrows, shook his head and said faintly:
"Some people, even if they have a divine sword in their hands, cannot become a god among swords!"
After saying that, he patted Sima Rui on the shoulder beside him. Sima Rui, who was already shocked and speechless, was stunned, and only after being reminded did he suddenly cheer up: "Senior can be called a god among swords. The junior bought this Taibai lost sword, which is exactly a pearl cast in the dark, and is willing to offer it to senior!"
Qian Chen laughed: "How can I be a person who takes other people's things for nothing..."
He thought slightly and said: "Well, I won't use your sword for nothing!"
He patted the stack of gold-traced paper beside him, and the dense red characters suddenly appeared, clearly imprinted on the paper.
"The swordsmanship I practiced is also passed down to Taibai. Comprehending the seals on the sword, I also have some gains. This is the method I comprehended to refine this sword... let's compensate you!"
Qian Chen threw this Dao book printed on the spot to Sima Rui. Borrowing his hand, he whitewashed the gift given to Ning Ning Shimei Si in the eyes of everyone. In the future, Ning Ning Shimei Si would use the Master Chunyang One Qi Sword, which would be famous and justified, and there would be no doubt.
As for his casting of the Green Lotus Zang Zang Jian Ge, there was also a source.
The inheritance left by the ancient Taibai Sword Sect... Anyway, the glorious era of the Taibai Sword Sect was too long ago, so it is not strange to have one more powerful inheritance.
And Qian Chen didn't lie. The Green Lotus Zang Zang Jian Ge was indeed passed down to Taibai—but it was Li Taibai!
Qian Chen left calmly in the eyes of everyone who was still shocked. Sima Yue could no longer take a step before his figure disappeared, his face ashen. The eyes of everyone looking at him, although still considering his status, clearly revealed mockery and ridicule—
The meaning of Qian Chen's previous words had already been noticed by people.
The treasure owner who sold the sword without rules earlier was obviously Sima Yue! The dignified Prince of Donghai, intending to collect wealth, actually used such a shameless method, and kept saying that he wanted to give it to his sister. Now it seems that his performance at that time was like a clown, which is contemptible.
The Taibai lost sword was in his hands, no wonder it would be covered in dust. Using the incomplete refining method of this Taibai lost sword to threaten the true descendant of the Taibai Sword Sect, this scheming is almost ridiculous.
Therefore, senior would say: "Some people, even if they have a divine sword in their hands, cannot become a god among swords!"
With such behavior, no wonder he would offend that senior who is like a god among swords. ===== CHAPTER 400 =====
