Chapter 119: Finality Moon, Liminality Flower (5)

A multi-colored blossom impacts my edge and crumbles apart, sliced into dozens of smaller pieces. It releases a small mote of gold light as it disappears pure sword Qi!

Lan Xiaohui dashes forward, her footsteps cracking the black rock beneath wherever she steps under the influence of [Vanishing Moon Steps].

Wu Yulan also dashes forward, bursts of pristine white Qi appearing around her feet as she rushes to meet my owner head-on, their collision course no longer avoidable.

Black and white energy swirls into the air as their swords collide producing a high-pitched plink sound, like two crystals impacting each other. This is followed by the sound of metal grinding against metal.

Sparks shower between them as they lean against each others force, swords locked together in a cross shape. Wu Yulans bun unravels and comes undone as the combined sword energy creates powerful vortices in the air around them.

The black rocks, as if resonating with this sword energy, begin to glow brighter and change colors.

Wu Yulans sword Qi is so pure and powerful that even I find it impressive it is levels beyond Lan Xiaohuis control level and hers is already advanced enough to be considered an elite; as Hu Yan put it: worthy of being a Core Disciple in any sect on this continent.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

There is a look of elation on both their expressions as they measure each others strength with that first exchange of strikes.

Who is Wu Yulan? How is her sword Qi so profound and powerful? The same questions arise in Lan Xiaohuis heart, but that is not all that glows in her heart. There is now only one way to learn more and my owner is eager to learn; my flower is eager to converse with Wu Yulan through her swordsmanship.

At the same time, they lean back, gaining a step of distance from each other. Lan Xiaohuis swordsmanship is by far superior to Wu Yulans and she puts it to use by immediately striking three times in quick succession at her opponent each one from difficult angles.

White and blue energy shrouds Wu Yulan, and each time my vessel plows through the field of energy, my velocity stalls just enough for the white-haired girl to parry each strike. This overwhelming sea of sword Qi and energy is impressively thick, but I can taste its finer details on my edge as I part through the veil. It is not just thick, but incredibly precise and fine; each particle of Qi is crafted from a powerful Dao and Intent.

Wu Yulan, despite her looks, is strong!

The white-haired girl shifts her footing, even as she is forced back by Lan Xiaohuis staccato of quick strikes, and then thrusts her sword forward when she spots an opening.

They notice it as well.

All around us, glowing motes of sword Qi swirl in the area, falling from the stones and rising out of the lakes and waterfalls. Each mote is a hint of a supreme beings sword, ancient and profound, awakened and resonating with two warriors who have comprehended Sword Law.

Suddenly, without my desire to do so, my core opens the [World Eater] talent activating and connects directly to my circuits as it absorbs the Qi in the area and then automatically produces sword Qi which disperses into the air.

Lan Xiaohui draws in a deep breath with her Emptiness Prana method, also devouring the Qi in the area; with a single breath, she consumes thousands of liters of air causing mist to appear in the air around the low-pressure front that is created by her breath.

Wu Yulan also suddenly bursts with an incredible amount of sword Qi after consuming a massive amount of air and glowing motes of profound sword Dao.

As the two fall into a state of enlightened trance, I feel it then. In the air, there is something like currents of Qi that are the guidance of that same supreme being.

This Ancient Sword Graveyard is not a monument. It is a legacy.

I see and understand it clearly now; each island, each cliff face, each spire, they are all the expressions of a profound martial art and immutable Sword Law. They are slashes and thrusts performed by an enlightened cultivator.

This proto-formation if it is a formation at all is dormant because it is not powered by the Qi of Heaven and Earth; it is powered by sword Qi and energy.

And it is in no small amount either; it takes all three of us with my contribution vastly superior to the two of them to activate this proto-formation.

[ Obtained: Transient Sword (Martial Art - Immortal) ]

[ Analysis: Gained Deep Insight on the Dao of Sword after obtaining ]

The rocks pulse with the brightest light yet, and the two in a state of trance turn toward each other.
