Chapter 571 - Green Lotus Sword Scripture

Puchi!

The halberd came down with the power to destroy heaven and earth. It made the world lose its color and the crowd’s souls tremble. Yun Tao blew up, turning into crimson mist, leaving no corpse behind.

Everyone was stunned.

Yun Tao was a newbie seven-revolution Golden Core realm expert, but that didn’t mean he was a weak one. Yet, Chen Fan killed him just like that.

This blow was a devastating double whammy for the Battle Heaven Alliance.

Not only had they failed to seize the ancient scripture, but they had also lost their top elites, including their first and second vice alliance leaders.

Chen Fan could kill top executive-level figures of the five major alliances like they were chicks, without any influence of luck.

This was a clear reflection of his overwhelming strength. Even if given another chance, Nie Tao and Yun Tao, both vice alliance leaders, would be no match for him.

Everyone was shocked to the core.

The Battle Heaven Alliance would most likely go crazy once this news spread, and the entire Hidden Dragon Island would be shaken.

Now that the Battle Heaven Alliance’s first and second vice alliance leaders were dead, as the alliance leader, Yin Jiu would have no choice but to take action. In the future, Chen Fan would have an even more intense collision with the Battle Heaven Alliance.

Everyone knew that the Battle Heaven Alliance would not let this go unpunished.

After all, Chen Fan had completely fallen out with the Battle Heaven Alliance. There was no possibility of turning back at all. This grudge would only end when one side was dead or disbanded.

The gazes of Li Yao, Qiu Yuexin, Gongsun Zhong, and Xuanyuan Po, the four top experts, fell on Chen Fan with a touch of seriousness. They took note of him with utmost attention.

Chen Fan’s attack on Yun Tao had even managed to rattle them.

Although Yun Tao had broken through to the seven-revolution Golden Core realm, compared to them, there was still quite a large gap.

Yun Tao's strength had surged due to his rage, pushing him into a quasi-seven-revolution Golden Core realm. However, his power was not fully controlled. Compared to experts like them, who were firmly in the seven-revolution Golden Core realm and far beyond the early stages, the gap was very significant.

Chen Fan could defeat a quasi-seven-revolution Golden Core realm like Yun Tao, but it was unclear if he could match them. Nonetheless, Chen Fan’s attack conveyed a strong sense of danger and earned their respect.

Chen Fan sat cross-legged on the ground and then began examining his ancient scripture page.

The entire page of the ancient scripture was written in ancient seal script. It was filled with an ancient aura.

When Chen Fan’s gaze fell onto the ancient seal script, he immediately felt a fierce sword intent erupting from the characters. The intensity of the sword intent pierced his eyes, causing a sharp pain.

“The words actually contained sword intent!”

Chen Fan immediately shut his eyes and channeled his true primeval, refining the sword intent that had rushed into his eyes. He opened his eyes again after a while, a fierce luster flashing across them.

The presence of sword intent in the script indicated that the author had reached an extraordinary level of cultivation. Such a feat was beyond the capability of a Divine Nascent realm expert; it could only be achieved by a Heavenly Star realm powerhouse who had comprehended a Martial Dao Will.

In other words, this was written by a powerhouse who was at least in the Heavenly Star realm.

Despite the passage of three thousand years, the sword intent still radiated immense power, revealing that the author was far from an ordinary Heavenly Star realm expert.

Channeling true primeval to his eyes, Chen Fan continued reading it. He soon realized that this ancient scripture page recorded a sword manual, named the Green Lotus Sword Scripture. It was an incredibly powerful, heaven-tier martial art.

This Green Lotus Sword Scripture was divided into fifteen layers, with the first six layers being the foundation.

At the seventh layer, one could cultivate three streaks of Green Lotus Sword Qi in their body, which could destroy everything when unleashed. At the tenth layer, one could cultivate six streaks of Green Lotus Sword Qi. At the thirteenth layer, this number increased to nine streaks. The fourteenth layer allowed for the cultivation of Lotus Heart Sword Qi, and at the fifteenth layer, the Lotus Heart Sword Qi would become inexhaustible.

Chen Fan was shocked in his heart.

Typically, martial arts were defined by the qi they produced, which was named accordingly. For example, the qi produced by the Shocking Cloud Sword Art would be called Shocking Cloud Sword Qi, the qi from the Raging Inferno Palm would be called Raging Inferno Palm Qi, and the qi from the Green Lotus Sword Scripture would naturally be called Green Lotus Sword Qi.

Usually, these types of qi require channeling one’s true primeval energy. However, the Green Lotus Sword Scripture seemed to transcend this limitation, allowing one to form the Green Lotus Sword Qi and Lotus Heart Sword Qi in their body.

That meant that Chen Fan wouldn’t have to use a sword after reaching the seventh layer. He could send out Green Lotus Sword Qi with just his finger or any other body part.

And given the formidable nature of this technique, its power would be exceptionally strong.

As Chen Fan continued reading on, he learned that the Green Lotus Sword Qi cultivated with the Green Lotus Sword Scripture did not possess high destructive power in the beginning stages.

After accumulating and nurturing it, however, its offensive ability would be off the charts, perhaps even exceeding the user’s attack power. Not only that, with every advancement to the next layer, the Green Lotus Sword Qi would experience a qualitative improvement.
