"Ten Thousand Swords Return to One, Absolute Sword Slash!!"
Absolute Sword Immortal roared in his heart, an unprecedented shadow of death completely enveloped him.
He had no other thoughts, only the most primitive instinct for survival remained.
Absolute Sword Immortal's originally youthful face withered and aged at a visible speed, instantly drained of vitality. This was damage to his Origin, and he didn't know how much effort it would take to recover in the future.
However, at this moment, he couldn't afford to worry about such things.
Escape was impossible; he could sense that all space had been sealed. Fleeing would only make him die faster.
"Break for me—!!!"
Absolute Sword Immortal's eyes were bloodshot, looking like a madman, wildly unleashing the Immortal Spiritual Qi within his body. The massive energy poured out like a breaching flood.
In an instant, countless golden Sword Qi, condensed to the extreme, interwoven into thousands of sword shadows. A powerful Sword Intent rose, as if to break this Sword Intent world and contend with Han Xuanji's attack.
Boom!
Blinding light drowned out everything, and countless Cultivators instantly lost all their sensory abilities.
Even those Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators couldn't fully see what was happening.
"This is the power of the Ascension Realm…"
Everyone present was shocked, but even more astonished was Absolute Sword Immortal, who was at the forefront and could feel how powerful this force was.
This was a power he simply could not contend with.
"Impossible, he can't be this strong…"
He had spent several centuries to Breakthrough to the second layer of the Ascension Realm, and his strength should have steadily surpassed that of a newly Breakthrough Ascension Cultivator.
In a flash, as a green sword light flickered in the air, it shattered his Sword Intent first.
The massive golden Sword Qi was broken and devoured.
Such a scene was truly too shocking.
Even the most obtuse person would now understand that the gap between Absolute Sword Immortal and Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal was immensely vast, and he was completely no match for the opponent.
Furthermore, this was after letting the opponent make the first Move; otherwise, he might have been instantly killed.
Yang Peng watched as Absolute Sword Immortal's body was pierced as if by ten thousand swords, spitting blood wildly, his figure shaking violently.
His face was full of disbelief.
Previously, Absolute Sword Immortal could be said to be invincible. Even in a place like Central State, where hidden dragons and crouching tigers resided, he could secure a place, and in his mind, he was one of the strongest Sword Cultivators of his time, even calling him the strongest in the world would not be an exaggeration.
But now, he was defeated so miserably, with almost no room to retaliate.
Nangong Wenjian was somewhat dazed at this moment. The power displayed by Han Xuanji made him feel a bit hopeless, wondering if the goal he had set for himself earlier was a bit unrealistic. How was he supposed to catch up?
Li Taiqing's eyes flickered, trying his best to suppress the smile on his face, but he couldn't keep his lips from curving up.
Sword Qi like a long river washed over Absolute Sword Immortal's body.
Not long after.
Accompanied by a scream.
"No—!"
Absolute Sword Immortal's eyes revealed despair. His Physical Body was destroyed, then Rebirth, and his Primordial Spirit continuously shattered, unable to be repaired. There was no turning back.
Only at the brink of death did he feel deep regret.
Originally, with the cultivation of the Ascension Realm, the world was vast, where could he not go?
Why be greedy for this one Sword Immortal Legacy?
Buzz…
The sword light continued to wreak havoc, completely twisting that space into a Void Realm.
Under the sweep of the Sword Qi aftershocks, a section of the mountain range was leveled, emitting scorching high temperatures and residual Sword Intent.
As the Sword Qi slowly dissipated, the light dimmed, the pressure covering the entire world vanished, and the turmoil gradually subsided.
A generation's Sword Immortal, Absolute Sword Immortal, was annihilated in body and spirit!
Han Xuanji stood quietly in the Void Realm, his white robes like snow, unstained by a speck of dust.
He slowly raised his hand, and the Flying Sword transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the Void Realm, as if it had never appeared.
Between heaven and earth, only silence remained.
The next moment.
Immediately, cheers like a mountain tsunami erupted.
Most of the people who came to watch the battle were Great Xia Cultivators, and these people naturally supported Han Xuanji, not to mention the countless Shenxuan Sect Disciples who came after hearing the news.
Joy filled each of their hearts.
"My heavens, that fast!"
"I knew Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal was invincible!"
"Actually, it's not that Absolute Sword Immortal is too weak, it's that Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal is too strong!"
"Yes, the power he displayed earlier felt like he was invincible in the world."
Lu Fan listened to the voices from all directions. He was a bit excited and really wanted to say that Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal used to call him Senior Brother.
However, he felt that if he said it, probably no one would believe him.
He might even be beaten up by Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal's admirers!
Li Taiqing closed his eyes, savoring the sword strike Han Xuanji had unleashed.
Within this sword strike, countless sword techniques were contained, including Moves from the Qinglian Sword Sutra.
He seemed to have an Epiphany.
Everyone was moved to see Li Taiqing actually fall into a state of Epiphany.
Nangong Wenjian's eyes also couldn't help but show envy.
Han Xuanji's Realm was too high; ordinary people simply couldn't comprehend anything from it.
At this moment.
Han Xuanji took a step and returned to the Qinglian Sword World.
He suddenly felt a sense of relief.
The Ascension Realm, which was once unattainable in his eyes, could now be instantly killed with a wave of his hand.
Absolute Sword Immortal should not be considered the weakest among those in the Ascension Realm. Having Breakthrough to Ascension for hundreds of years, he had also tried every means to improve his strength. However, reaching the Ascension Realm, it was not easy to improve a Realm.
Absolute Sword Immortal probably felt that his Breakthrough was too slow, which was why he wanted to seek an Immortal Opportunity.
However, he probably never expected that he would have such combat power right after his Breakthrough.
Of course, Han Xuanji didn't feel truly invincible either.
But his sense of security was overflowing.
"The days ahead should be much more stable, right?"
Han Xuanji thought silently.
The Ascension Realm was not common. Even in a golden age, an era of great contention.
This level of powerful individuals could not emerge like mushrooms after rain.
Spring passed, autumn came.
Soon, the news of Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal slaying Absolute Sword Immortal began to spread across the Nine Provinces, and many forces in Central State found it unbelievable.
The fall of an Ascension Realm existence was a very rare occurrence.
In most cases, even if they couldn't retreat completely unscathed, they could at least escape.
A situation where one couldn't even escape could only mean a vast difference between the two parties.
…
Five years passed in a blink of an eye.
On this day.
Han Xuanji's aura became increasingly profound and unfathomable, and his cultivation naturally and quietly entered the second layer of the Ascension Realm.
At the same time.
In the southern part of Great Xia, on the border of Great Ming, was the Ten Thousand Yao Ridge.
A hundred thousand miles of mountains separated the Yao Race and the Human Race.
At this very moment.
Dense Demonic Qi soared into the sky, inspiring awe.
Countless members of the Yao Race were heading towards the territory of the neighboring Human Race.
