Chapter 1954 - 1982: Mortal Sword
"Oh? Interesting..." Extreme Venerable’s eyes revealed a look of surprise as he looked at Qinglian Ancestor.
Qinglian Ancestor wore a calm expression, looking at Extreme Venerable: "Even though I’m just a soul avatar, defeating you should be enough!"
"Arrogant!" Extreme Venerable shouted, his eyes full of disdain: "I am the number one in Canglan North Domain, and you, a mere soul avatar with early Great Saint cultivation, think you can defeat me, it’s utterly laughable!"
"Is that so? Then see how you fare against this sword of mine," Qinglian Ancestor’s eyes revealed a look of relaxed calmness.
Then, he slowly raised his right hand, where sword qi gathered, that sword qi being contained within, not a trace of its aura flowed outward, making it impossible for anyone to sense any power from Qinglian Ancestor’s sword qi.
That sword appeared unremarkable, very ordinary, plain, even making one unable to sense any force.
Then Qinglian Ancestor swung out with his sword, in an instant, the sword qi cut through the void, yet even the space was unaffected, raising no ripples within, appearing utterly ordinary.
But at that moment, a rich sword intent emanated from Qinglian Ancestor, though dense, it felt incredibly ordinary, even without posing any threat, Extreme Venerable was deeply disdainful.
Subsequently, Extreme Venerable formed a True Essence Giant Hand, which vibrated the void, tore through space, and shoved forward directly towards Qinglian Ancestor’s sword. In an instant, the two attacks met.
"Swish~~" A crisp sound echoed, the void shook, endless energy reverberated, in the blink of an eye, Extreme Venerable’s True Essence Giant Hand was cleaved into two halves, and the speed of the sword qi surged several times, reaching the extreme.
"What!" Extreme Venerable’s pupils dilated, eyes revealing a look of astonishment, unable to dodge in time.
"Puchi~~" A sound of flesh was heard as blood splattered, diffusing in the void, Extreme Venerable’s arm was directly severed.
"How is this possible!" Witnessing this scene shocked everyone present, their eyes filled with astonishment, they hadn’t expected Qinglian Ancestor’s sword to be this powerful, instantly severing Extreme Venerable’s arm.
"Crackling~~" At this moment, the space that Qinglian Ancestor’s sword qi had cut through manifested a crack tens of thousands of miles long, an astonishing and terrifying sight.
Extreme Venerable could no longer remain calm, he never dreamed that Qinglian Ancestor would be so enigmatic and powerful.
"Why! Why does your sword, seeming to have nothing special, possess such immense power!"
Extreme Venerable asked in shock, his question, shared by most present, was one of deep bewilderment.
Previously, it was not due to inadequate power that the space wasn’t breached but because the speed of breaching the space was too fast.
The space had been destroyed long before it had time to collapse, until the sword qi had already vanished.
At this point, Ye Feng spoke: "It’s sword intent! The fourth level of sword intent, Mortal Sword Realm!"
"Mortal Sword!" Upon hearing Ye Feng’s words, everyone was stunned; it was the first time they had heard of such a realm.
Qinglian Ancestor smiled slightly, looked at Ye Feng, his eyes showing admiration: "Indeed, beyond Divine Sword Realm is Mortal Sword! Divine Sword Realm is sharp, reaching extreme sharpness, and beyond extreme is restraint! Sword intent is restrained, Returning to Truth! All things can be a sword, and by virtue of humanity, the sword is extraordinaire, hence Mortal Sword!"
"To think there’s even a more powerful sword intent beyond Divine Sword!" Everyone’s hearts were deeply shaken.
Initially, they thought the top-tier Divine Sword intent was already the strongest sword intent realm, but now they realized they knew far too little, never expecting a Mortal Sword above the Divine Sword intent realm!
Upon sensing Qinglian Ancestor’s sword intent, Ye Feng felt his path of the Sword Dao suddenly became brighter by countless times, in an instant, Ye Feng attained Sword Heart Clarity, releasing an intense sword intent that reverberated all around.
Ye Feng’s sword intent unexpectedly broke through at this time, reaching the pinnacle of the Divine Sword realm.
And Ye Feng’s aura also contained a certain ordinary feeling; witnessing this scene once again stunned everyone, realizing Ye Feng could breakthrough his sword intent realm in this moment, something entirely unexpected, Qinglian Ancestor’s eyes showed admiration: "What insight, not far from Extraordinary Sword, fortunate for Qinglian!"
At this time, Extreme Venerable furrowed his brow, looking at Qinglian Ancestor and asked: "Are you a Holy Sovereign?"
Everyone’s expressions turned tense, eyes showing a sense of anticipation, looking at Qinglian Ancestor.
All understood well what the level of Holy Sovereign meant; that was indeed a terrifying, heaven-defying existence capable of achieving Super Three in battle power among Saint Realm experts, an extremely rare super powerhouse.
Throughout the nearly ten thousand years within the Cangxuan Realm, not even to mention a Holy Sovereign-level powerhouse, there wasn’t even a Saint Lord-level expert that could achieve Super Two, except Qingguang Elder from ten thousand years ago, who was a Saint Lord expert.
Qinglian Ancestor wore a relaxed and calm face, without any concealment, nodded: "Yes!"
Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but have their heart rate accelerate, feeling as if their hearts were about to leap out of their chests, excitement building; it was their first time seeing a Holy Sovereign-level powerhouse.
Extreme Venerable’s expression turned incomparably grave, though the other’s cultivation was a level lower than his, the other was a Holy Sovereign-level powerhouse, certainly capable of killing him; for the first time, Extreme Venerable’s face showed a panicked expression.
"Purple Cloud Venerable, Dao Feng Venerable, come help me!" Extreme Venerable shouted towards two early Great Saint-level powerhouses.
The two early Great Saint-level powerhouses, Extreme Venerable, and Dao Feng Venerable hurriedly approached Extreme Venerable, but at this moment, the Ancient Slaughter Flame Dragon dashed directly in front of the two early Great Saint-level powerhouses, blocking their path.
"Your opponent is me!" the Ancient Slaughter Flame Dragon loudly declared...
