Chapter 637: Chapter 587: The Taiji Sword, The End!
The sky shattered, the sea of clouds roiled, and the aftershocks of the two figures colliding caused the surrounding spectators, many of which were powerful figures, to quickly retreat again.
Even those who were strong in the Spirit Realm Eightfold did not want to be involved in the clash between these two individuals of the same realm, and chose to withdraw.
If anyone harbored other thoughts before, by this moment, the strength Pei Xuanjing displayed was enough to prove that he already stood at the pinnacle of this Heaven and Earth. Although he was not at the absolute peak yet, he had secured a place for himself. He could become the chess player, possessing his own right to speak.
Apart from the many strong spectators above the firmament, even if the clash took place thousands of miles above, the tremendous collision and fluctuations were extremely terrifying to the ordinary cultivators below.
Standing below, they gazed into the sky. Although they couldn’t see the specifics of the clash above, the constant thunder, wave after wave of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, and the fist force sweeping the sky, were all terrifying to them. They felt an extremely oppressive aura that made their hearts shudder.
In particular, this collision made even the earth tremble. It wasn’t enough to cause landslides or earthquakes, but it did shake the mountains and caused the residual aftermath to shatter countless stones and break vegetation.
If it weren’t for the sturdiness of Heaven and Earth after the revival, the clash between these two could have shattered Heaven and Earth and cracked the earth.
Even so, countless patches of space were shattered. Innumerable forces were devoured by the broken space around the two figures, appearing as bottomless as black holes.
This was why Pei Xuanjing set the rule that powerful cultivators were not allowed to engage in combat within crowds and cities.
Imagine if the clash between these two took place in any city within Great Ming territory. Just the aftermath of their clashes would probably kill countless commoners. Even cultivators who had stepped into the Spirit Realm, most of them wouldn’t be able to withstand the aftermath of their clash and would either end up dead or injured.
Although both of these individuals were powerful, they hadn’t yet reached the peak in this world. If the supremely powerful ones who stepped into the Nine Realms of Spirit were to take action, they could probably obliterate cities and kill countless martial artist cultivators with one full-strength strike.
The waves subsided, and Pei Xuanjing stood facing the Third Supreme Elder. They were only about ten miles apart. Countless airwaves rolled around them, and the sound of air explosions was endless.
Killing intent filled the eyes of the Third Supreme Elder. The strength that Pei Xuanjing showed at the moment was almost beyond his imagination.
Pei Xuanjing had an indifferent expression. After the probing exchange just now, he had a good understanding of the Third Supreme Elder’s strength. The latter was indeed a strong contender in the Spirit Realm Eightfold, but Pei Xuanjing had enough confidence to kill him. Even in his current avatar form, he was more than enough!
“Since you only have this much strength, then let’s end everything here!” Pei Xuanjing looked at him, his gaze indifferent and emotionless, but his tone was ice-cold.
Hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words, the Third Supreme Elder originally intended to chastise him for his arrogant words. However, when he looked up and saw Pei Xuanjing’s emotionless eyes, he couldn’t help but pause. He felt a sense of danger he hadn’t experienced in a long time, as if the aura of death was lingering in his heart.
Not solely the Third Supreme Elder, but all the other spectators were also surprised by Pei Xuanjing’s tone in that moment.
Pei Xuanjing held one hand behind his back and hung the other downward. Endless Primordial Qi instantly circulated in his pale palm, changing into a divine sword in an instant. The Shenxiao Origin Qi was unstable, surrounded by green, red, yellow, white, black, and purple lights. Each was distinctive, yet they shone together.
Even though it was just a divine sword condensed from Primordial Qi, the terrifying aura it radiated made countless people shocked. The sharp sword aura surrounded the divine sword, sword light flickering unstably, breaking numerous spaces.
As Pei Xuanjing condensed the divine sword, his aura changed in an instant. Compared to his calm and overbearing demeanor just earlier, he now had an upsurging sharp aura which was perfectly evident, as if it could penetrate Heaven and Earth.
“I’ve heard that this Pei Nation Master was an unparalleled swordman. I thought it was mere flattery. Now, seeing him today, his attainment in Sword Tao must have reached a terrifying level.”
Some of the spectators had a subtle change in their expressions and sighed.
Sword Tao is the most used weapon among the cultivators in the world. Yet, few can actually achieve great success in Sword Tao.
At this moment, the Sword Tao realm that Pei Xuanjing showed shocked countless cultivators. Especially the powerful figures renowned for their Sword Tao, they couldn’t help but feel a bit depressed when they felt the sword intent from Pei Xuanjing.
However, what was even more terrifying was yet to come.
Pei Xuanjing slowly raised his sword. The divine sword in his hand moved with his wrist, slicing across the sky, leaving countless cracks. Innumerable Heaven and Earth Essence Qi were dancing around him.
The six-colored sword light instantly pervaded the sky, as if it completely covered Heaven and Earth. Everything in sight was filled with the six-colored sword light. Then, this six-colored sword light intertwined and transformed constantly.
“This is the eighthsword move I created: the two elements (Taiji). Please appreciate it.” With the following moment of Pei Xuanjing’s voice,
the countless lights converged and rotated into black and white, intertwining and forming a huge black-and-white sword. This sword seemed to symbolize Yin and Yang, representing destruction and vitality, slashing towards the Third Supreme Elder.
Faced with this sword, the Third Supreme Elder’s complexion changed dramatically. After their initial clash, he assumed that this was the limit of Pei Xuanjing’s strength. For someone as young as him to break through to the Spirit Realm Eightfold and possess such strength was already unthinkable. He absolutely could not be any stronger.
However, at this moment, Pei Xuanjing shattered his thoughts and told the Third Supreme Elder that he was wrong.
Seeing the horrifying dominance of the sword intent now, the Third Supreme Elder was instantly terrified, as if he could smell the breath of death.
He immediately dropped all reservations and stirred the Primordial Qi within his body, unleashing a terrifying momentum. Countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi transformed into a sea of water, forming a protective divine ability around him, and then gushed towards Pei Xuanjing’s sword.
However, everything was in vain. When the black-and-white sword light crossed the sky, everything came to an end.
