I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them? - Chapter 577

Chapter 577: Chapter 312 Heart Sword Realm Great Achievement, Power of the Divine Artifact_2
 

Clearly, Xu Yan had not used his full strength when he instantly killed five men, but instead, he used those five men to demonstrate to the outside world what a Sword Array was!

The Thousand Martial Lord and others had a terribly gloomy expression.

Under this Sword Array, the Combined Strike Technique appeared to be utterly weak.

“Have Wu Yuan prepare to make a move.”

The Thousand Martial Lord said in a deep voice.

This battle had no surprises left.

Those five were doomed to lose.

Even then, in his heart, he was wavering—could Wu Yuan, even with the Divine Artifact Cold Jade Blade, really severely injure, perhaps even kill Xu Yan?

Wu Yuan, after all, was not a Supreme Expert.

Taking a deep breath, the Thousand Martial Lord once again ordered, “Have the Elders find an opportunity to eliminate Xu Yan.”

The hearts of the Elders, including the Palm Blade Elder, turned cold—did the Lord really think that even Wu Yuan couldn’t severely injure or kill Xu Yan?

“Lord, if Wu Yuan uses the Divine Artifact, can Xu Yan really fend it off?”

The Palm Blade Elder asked with a face full of disbelief.

“Did Xu Yan use all his strength?”

The Thousand Martial Lord asked in a deep voice.

The Palm Blade Elder was taken aback. Right, had Xu Yan ever used his full strength?

He had always appeared to be handling it effortlessly.

“I understand!” the Palm Blade Elder said solemnly, nodding.

On the battlefield, Xu Yan had deployed a Sword Array using his Divine Origin Avatar, and at that moment, he had some new enlightenment.

He was currently letting the genius of the Thousand Martial Hall verify his own enlightenment.

In an instant, the Sword Array quietly underwent a transformation.

In one of the avatars, the Sword Dao being executed was the Mountain and River Sword Intent.

Another avatar deployed the Sudden Wind Sword Intent.

The third avatar deployed a crossover rotation of Mountain and River Sword Intent and Sudden Wind Sword Intent.

The fourth avatar was attempting to merge the Mountain and River Sword Intent and Sudden Wind Sword Intent into one.

Xu Yan’s original body slightly squinted his eyes, as the Domain’s spiritual energy around him all transformed into swords—formless swords!

The aftermath of the battle swept in, also transforming into swords.

Even the power of incoming attacks, he wanted to transform into his swords!

But it was too difficult.

Impossible to achieve.

“Heart Sword Realm, my heart has a sword, transforming all things in the Domain into swords; my heart has Sword Intent, in an instant, could it also transform into the desired Sword Intent?”

“Be it Mountain and River Sword Intent or Sudden Wind Sword Intent, both are my enlightenment.”

“If they are the Sword Intent in my heart, why can they not transform into other Sword Intents? The wind blows over the mountains and rivers, waves ripple, water flows steadily…”

At that moment, the fourth avatar thrust out a sword. The Sword Intent was continuous, showing no sign of killing, no fierceness, even carrying a kind of gentleness of water.

However, in an instant, the sword-wielding young man felt as though he had plunged into water, into raging waves, terrifying and formless, seemingly gentle but containing a fearsome killing power.

“Ah!”

He roared, his body’s power pouring into a blade, cutting through the layers of gentle killing intent.

Xu Yan revealed a smile. Although far from being able to manipulate Sword Intent at will, his Sword Dao realm had advanced, and the Heart Sword Realm had reached a Great Achievement!

Only one step away from Perfection in the Heart Sword Realm.

“Wisdom Sword Realm is too mystical, I still have no clue.”

Xu Yan sighed. He had yet to fully comprehend the Heart Sword Realm, had yet to perceive more of its profound mysteries, and the Wisdom Sword Realm was even more out of reach.

“Kill!”

The Thousand Martial Hall’s five, knowing that continuing the fight meant certain defeat for themselves.

Resolved to exert their full strength in one final struggle.

In an instant, a killing intention emerged.

A bloody killing intent surged forth from the five, unexpectedly merging together into one even more terrifying killing intent.

This blazing life-ending killing intent seemed to contain the power of five Martial Arts, five killing intents, and five layers of terrifying killing intent!

Xu Yan’s brow furrowed; this killing intent was much stronger than that of the previous five and, with the combined killing intents of the five, was even more powerful.

He dared not take it lightly.

Swoosh!

The Divine Origin Avatar returned to the original body, restoring his strength to its peak state.

He raised his hand to grasp the Longsword, blending the Mountain and River Sword Intent with the Sudden Wind Sword Intent. The mountains layered upon one another, as if thousands of souls wielded swords, slashing down.

Boom!

The blood-colored killing intent clashed with the sword light, each surging and vying against the other, holding each other off.

The powerful aftermath had already obliterated five of the Thousand Martial Hall’s geniuses, turning them into flying ashes.

The martial artists widened their eyes, staring at the scene on the battlefield, where the sword light surged like raging waves, seemingly unable to resist the bloody murderous intent.

But the bloody murderous intent gradually began to fade as well.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the sword light softened, like a gentle stream, seemingly frail, but it was this frailty that halted the advance of the bloody murderous intent.

And it continuously melted away, eventually dissipating completely.

Xu Yan had won again. What would happen to the Thousand Martial Hall now?

Would their geniuses still not come out?

The martial artists all turned their eyes towards the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall, including powerful individuals from the three nations, seven sects, and eight great families.

The prestigious Transcendent Spirit Sect, could it really not produce a genius to compete with Xu Yan?

This was no longer just a matter concerning the Thousand Martial Hall alone, but it also involved the honor of the Spiritual Realm’s sects. If they were suppressed by a loose cultivator, how could the sects continue to look down on all loose cultivators from their lofty positions?

Xu Yan stood with his sword, its light extending a hundred yards, arrogantly pointing directly at the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall.

“Does the Thousand Martial Hall have a genius who dares to fight?”

The sword light, a hundred yards long, directly pointed at the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall. Was it a direct, confrontational challenge, and were the geniuses of the Thousand Martial Hall still going to shrink back?

If that was really the case, then just as Xu Yan had said, they were all cowards.

“Xu Yan, a mere loose cultivator, dares to be so arrogant. If my senior brothers were not in seclusion and unable to fight, they would have suppressed you long ago!”

A voice came out as a figure stepped forward at the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall.

A terrifying knife light burst forth from his body.

The martial artists looked and were immediately shocked.

The genius of the Thousand Martial Hall had made a move, and was it—directly using a Divine Artifact?

Moreover, they gathered from his words that the delay in the appearance of the Thousand Martial Hall’s genius was due to him being in rigorous closed-door cultivation and temporarily unable to fight?

“Is this… could this be Wu Yuan of the Thousand Martial Hall?”

Someone whispered.

“Shameless!”

Tian Ji sneered.

The Thousand Martial Hall had directly allowed Wu Yuan to use a Divine Artifact. Although it wasn’t bullying the weaker, it was somewhat shameful.

However, in the competition among geniuses, there was no restriction on what weapons the geniuses could use, so the actions of the Thousand Martial Hall did not break any rules.

“Wu Yuan, is this guy actually courting death?”

Cui Huayu was incredulously shocked.

Being a true disciple of the Transcendent Spirit Sect, he naturally understood what it cost for Wu Yuan to use a Divine Artifact and to unleash its power.

Yarong frowned, looking towards Xu Yan, who remained unfazed, though his expression had become noticeably more solemn.

Xu Yan’s expression became serious. He also recognized the person who had appeared—it was Wu Yuan, the genius of the Thousand Martial Hall mentioned in the booklet the elder of the Mu Family had given him.

Wu Yuan had appeared and was using a Divine Artifact of the Transcendent Spirit Sect.

The knife light soared into the sky, the might of the Divine Artifact was not to be underestimated!

“Xu Yan, take my strike, and if you survive, let’s call it your victory for now. In ten years, when several of my senior brothers come out of seclusion, we can compete again!”

Wu Yuan said coldly.

It was necessary to find a reason for a possible defeat, to save face for the Thousand Martial Hall.

This was to tell everyone present that it wasn’t that the Thousand Martial Hall lacked geniuses or someone to suppress Xu Yan, but that they were in closed-door cultivation and couldn’t come out to fight.

The final outcome of the competition among geniuses could only be determined at the end!

“Kill!”

A terrifying intent to kill emerged from Wu Yuan, but it was not bloody; it seemed like it wasn’t a life-burning murderous intent. The cold murderous intent entered a knife.

The chilling knife light, at that moment, shone in front of the gate of the Thousand Martial Hall.

Even from a distance, all the martial artists felt a chill all over, as if a chilling knife had been placed on their necks.

“Retreat quickly!”

The martial artists who were closer changed their expressions and quickly retreated a distance.

“The Cold Absolute Knife!”

Cui Huayu’s face grew solemn.

One of the Divine Artifacts of the Thousand Martial Hall, with extremely strong offensive power, usually held by the knife-holding elder.

And Wu Yuan, using this artifact, must have been blessed by the knife-holding elder. This strike was so powerful that even a supreme expert who had condensed a strand of Domain Spirit Spark might find it hard to block.

“Does Xu Yan have a Divine Artifact?”

Cui Huayu looked towards Xu Yan, beginning to feel uncertain. Even if Xu Yan possessed a Divine Artifact, given his current realm, he would not be able to unleash its power. How could he withstand Wu Yuan’s strike?

“Hopefully, it’s just a severe injury; as long as he survives, there’s a chance for recovery.”

Cui Huayu murmured to himself.

Although he was a true disciple of the Transcendent Spirit Sect and not in the same camp as Xu Yan, he had developed a respect for Xu Yan and did not want to see such a talented individual die under this strike.
