Chapter 1959 - 637: Mirror Reflection (Part 3)
Since it was to be a fair fight, to witness each other’s sword skills and Sword Dao, Chu Xisheng also abandoned the idea of using the Luo Hou Star God and the Nine Luminaries Divine Wheel Sword.
Chu Xisheng was actually more eager to experience the other party’s swordsmanship.
He wanted to know what kind of Martial Arts this Ancestor God-level expert had in mind.
He fully activated his Burial Sky Divine Body and the Hand of Wind and Lightning Control, slashing out no fewer than twenty thousand times within a single breath.
The clashing sounds of metal continually reverberated, vibrating and impacting everyone’s eardrums.
The surrounding void and earth were torn into fragments by the two’s Sword Energy and Sword Qi.
At this moment, the Emperor Bai was unexpectedly retreating continuously.
With every exchange between them, the Emperor Bai would withdraw half a step.
However, his face showed a hint of delight, and his eyes gleamed brightly: "This is the mystery of your Mirror Reflection Qiankun? Indeed, it’s a brilliant Sword Skill!"
Although Emperor Bai used Swordsmanship to intercept the forces gathered by Chu Xisheng during their exchanges, Chu Xisheng’s ’Mirror Reflection Qiankun’ never ceased and was continuously perfecting itself, persistently breaking through his blockade.
As long as the reflection of various forces in the world, the compression and conflict between the Temporal Void and material hadn’t ended, Chu Xisheng could continuously draw power from it.
It was like a magic artifact hanging on Chu Xisheng, allowing his power to increase several to dozens of times, continually exerting its effect.
He could also, through the reflective Sword Energy around him, continue to disorder the Five Elements of the world, creating spatial chaos, temporal turbulence, causing the various materials in the world to violently fluctuate, compress each other, and reflect their forces.
If there was no outer power, he would create it himself.
This was the terrifying aspect of this move, as Emperor Bai found himself like an enemy of the entire world, crushed by the vast forces of the universe.
Even if Chu Xisheng only deflected and reflected back a small portion of this grand force, it was still extremely frightening.
Emperor Bai was intrigued, using various dharma gates to shield, block, interfere, forbid, suppress, and resolve, preventing Chu Xisheng from using the power he borrowed from heaven and earth in combat, imposing it upon Emperor Bai.
Chu Xisheng constantly tried to reflect, bypass, and breakthrough.
Emperor Bai initially could still shield, but gradually he could not.
Chu Xisheng’s Sword Skill grew more complete, with fewer and fewer flaws to exploit.
Chu Xisheng’s eyes also shone brightly.
Emperor Bai wielded a pure Sword Dao, which, while at the same level as him, could be used in several ways to resist and dissolve.
Fighting this person felt like battling hundreds of different people.
Every fraction of a second, Chu Xisheng felt like he had changed opponents.
This somewhat reminded him of Chu Yunyun,
The difference being that Chu Yunyun truly mastered hundreds of different Martial Arts, whereas Emperor Bai truly accomplished the feat of one law giving rise to ten thousand laws,
This grasp of Heavenly Rules was far beyond his own. Various techniques, different Sword Dao styles, readily manifesting at the height of perfection.
However, Chu Xisheng was also advancing rapidly, like a sponge continuously learning from his opponent while perfecting this Sword Skill.
His blade became increasingly indefensible, uninterruptible, and irrepressible.
Then, just two breaths later, Emperor Bai suddenly switched from defense to offense.
Without any strain or warning, he easily completed the transition from defense to offense, thrusting sword after sword at Chu Xisheng.
This time, he adopted a new approach, dismantling, destroying, annihilating, executing, penetrating, and exterminating!
Penetrating Chu Xisheng’s ’Mirror Reflection Qiankun’ into a riddled state, breaking it into tatters, making it increasingly harder to maintain, increasingly difficult to apply.
It was essentially still Sword Dao, yet one law giving rise to ten thousand laws.
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath, then his Sword Force changed, making the blade of the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade gleam with frost light, reflecting light like a mirror.
The pressure he faced instantly diminished by more than half.
Emperor Bai’s eyebrows arched once more: "What manner of Sword Technique is this?"
Chu Xisheng’s lips curved slightly: "The ninth move of the Blood Vengeance Touch Death Blade, Return to Heaven!"
This was not some miraculous Sword Technique, its current power was only Near-God level.
Simply reflecting all the enemy’s forces, all the Heavenly Rules back onto the entire realm, allowing all materials in the world, the Temporal Void, and the world’s Crystal Wall to bear it, thus further stirring heaven and earth, enhancing the power of ’Mirror Reflection Qiankun’.
Its advantage wasn’t many, except for the speed, which was fast enough to not affect his Sword Speed at all.
This allowed the light of every blade Chu Xisheng struck to be a Return to Heaven.
"A very interesting Sword Skill."
Emperor Bai couldn’t help but secretly marvel.
He had previously seen the seventh move of the Blood Vengeance Divine Blade, Heavenly Justice, the eighth move, Tenfold Return, the tenth move, Dusk of the Gods.
And now he saw the sixth move, Mirror Reflection Qiankun, and the ninth move, Return to Heaven.
Each move was remarkably magical, indescribably ingenious, incredibly stunning.
"However—" Emperor Bai’s lips curved slightly: "I wish to see not only your Sword Skill but also the Sword Tao!"
In this brief exchange of a few breaths, they had already reached twenty thousand strikes.
Yet what he saw so far was merely technique, not the Tao.
And at this very moment, Emperor Bai unleashed an even more fierce aura, breaking through Chu Xisheng’s Sword Techniques with just a few swift swords.
Everything, Mirror Reflection Qiankun, Return to Heaven Blade, was completely shattered.
At this time, the observing Azure Dragon Star Lord couldn’t help but fall into contemplation.
"So this is the so-called Sword Skill, Sword Dao—"
He glimpsed the nature of this so-called Martial Arts, essentially an integrated use of various forces within heaven and earth, various Heavenly Rules.
More refined, more efficient.
The Azure Dragon Star Lord’s eyes flickered with deep awe.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor Bai after thirteen million years had grown this powerful!
His combat strength might have surpassed several Heavenly Emperors of the Human Clan beyond the East Emperor.
Even though their levels of power were the same, Emperor Bai’s understanding and utilization of power were a notch above.
This was undoubtedly the most fearsome enemy of their Human and Dragon Clan.
And then there was Chu Xisheng, no wonder Emperor Bai was interested in him.
His talent, his bloodline, his spiritual energy, at this stage, was also astonishingly strong, simply one with the demeanor of an Emperor!
Besides that—the forces exhibited by these two also made the Azure Dragon Star Lord feel something was amiss.
"Young girl!" Azure Dragon’s eyes contained doubt: "I feel that during their combat, they do not heavily rely on the Primordial Spirit between heaven and earth?"
Lu Luanti nodded unexpectedly: "They indeed don’t need to rely on it, they have their own Inner Heaven and Earth, a dharma gate originally created by our Human Clan’s Primordial Emperor Xuanhuang. By opening a source of Primordial Power within their own bodies, they become self-sufficient."
She hadn’t expected Chu Xisheng’s Inner Heaven and Earth to have already formed its climate.
