War Sovereign Soaring The Heavens

Chapter 2206 Soul Detaching Form

Hao Shuang had also sensed the destructive aura that the Jasper Celestial Sword emitted. However, he did not spare any thought on it since the span of three breaths was up. He had gathered all his power, and it was time to strike!

Boom!

Rumble!

The sounds of explosions rang in the air.

When Hao Shuang closed half the distance between him and Duan Ling Tian, he suddenly came to a halt as the Dharma Rod, the Super Saint Weapon, began to vibrate. He let out a primeval howl as Saint Origin continued to surge out of his body. Subsequently, his body began to grow mysteriously. It did not take long before he transformed into a three- meter tall giant.

Hao Shuang who had transformed into a three-meter tall giant looked like Buddha’s warrior. His robe that had ripped showcased how muscular his body was. His long white hair stood on its end, defying gravity. It resembled sharp spikes.

Meanwhile, the golden light from the Dharma Rod turned brighter and brighter as it shot up into the sky. It looked like a heavenly pillar and emitted a bone-chilling aura.

At this moment, the air around Hao Shuang trembled for a moment before time seemed to stop.

A cacophonous sound could be heard as Hao Shuang’s energy collided with the force from the Dharma Rod.

“Duan Ling Tian, take this!” Hao Shuang who seemed to have transformed into one of Buddha’s warriors shouted. He charged toward Duan Ling Tian at lightning speed. Every time he put his feet down, it felt as though a huge mountain was collapsing. The earth quaked in his wake. He lifted the Dharma Rod and struck at the purple figure in the distance as Saint Origin continued surging out of his gigantic body.

Boom!

Rumble!

Not only did Hao Shang’s strike contain the force of an offensive Divine Ability, but it even contained a rod martial tactic. Although the moves looked simple as he waved the rod around, it contained all his strength. Once he struck, he would exhaust all his strength and the Dharma Rod’s power.

The instant Hao Shuang struck, it seemed as though the sky had fallen. The clouds were parted by a flurry of hurricanes that left destruction in their wakes.

The rod that seemed capable of parting the sky struck at Duan Ling Tian.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt a mountainous pressure pressing down on him. It felt as though if he was not careful, he would be turned into pulp.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sounds of explosions kept on ringing in the air as the Dharma Rod was falling toward Duan Ling Tian…

At the critical moment, Duan Ling Tian finally made his move.

“Sword controlling technique!” Duan Ling Tian cried out. The Celestial Supreme Treasure, the Jasper Celestial Sword, that had been fully filled with his Sun Saint Origin flew out.

Swish!

The brief sound of sword whistling in the air appeared accompanied by a sword ray.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian felt completely empty inside. He swayed left and right as though he was going to fall. When he recovered a bit of his Sun Saint Origin, he quickly stabilized his footing. His face was devoid of colors.

Even so, nobody paid any attention to Duan Ling Tian. Everyone’s attention was on the Dharma Rod that was striking down from Hao Shuang’s hand since most of them could not catch any trace of the extraordinary sword that flew out of Duan Ling Tian’s hand. The sword had seemingly disappeared into thin air as it let out a short-lived sword cry.

“How fast!”

Only the few powerhouses at the Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage like Zi Feng from Fire Worship Sect, the Violet Dragon King, and the White Tiger King from Black Kshetra Sect managed to catch a small glimpse of the sword ray with much difficulty. They did not have time to react at all due to how fast everything was happening.

“How’s this possible?” When the Jasper Celestial Sword flew out of Duan Ling Tian’s hand and turned into a sword ray, a horrified expression appeared on Hao Shuang’s face. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. The speed of the Jasper Celestial Sword was unbelievably fast. It was much faster than him when he had struck. If his Saint Origin was close to that of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage, then the speed of the sword ray was undoubtedly closer to the speed of a powerhouse at the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage. In fact, its speed was comparable to a powerhouse who had just broken through to the Ninth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage Ninth Form and had not stabilized his or her cultivation base.

Whether I can survive this calamity or not will depend on this strike!’ Duan Ling Tian thought to himself with a sigh as soon as the Jasper Celestial Sword flew out of his hand. He had exerted all his strength with this strike. It was his most powerful strike to date.

Swoosh!

The Jasper Celestial Sword that had greedily absorbed Duan Ling Tian’s Sun Saint Origin flew out of his hand like an unbridled horse. Its speed was unbelievably fast.

It rushed out to meet Hao Shuang’s Dharma Rod at the speed of light in a domineering manner. Swish!

The Jasper Celestial Sword flew across the sky at such a fast speed that it left no traces in its wake.

Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh! Shh!

Accompanied by a faint sound, the tip of the Jasper Celestial Sword glinted before it collided with the Dharma Rod. The moment before they collided was the calm before the storm.

The sword ray from the Jasper Celestial Sword pierced through and overpowered the golden light of the Dharma Rod without any difficulty.

At once —

Clang!

The sound of metal clashing rang in the air.

Slash!

Soon after, the sound of flesh being cut could be heard as well.

When the Jasper Celestial Sword collided with the Dharma Rod, it released its destructive power that seemed capable of destroying the world. It sent the Dharma Rod flying and severed Hao Shuang’s arm from its socket.

Blood gushed out of Hao Shuang’s shoulder, creating a ghastly scene.

After the Dharma Rod and the arm holding it were separated from Hao Shuang’s body, it flew into a distance like an arrow that had been shot out from its bow. It disappeared before everyone’s eyes in just a blink of an eye. However, its speed was still lacking compared to the Jasper Celestial Sword.

The force from the Jasper Celestial Sword that seemed capable of destroying the world did not only knock the Dharma Rod away from Hao Shuang, but it even severed Hao Shuang’s arm!

All of this happened in just a split second.

After this, the Jasper Celestial Sword’s speed slowed down but it did not change its trajectory as it headed for Hao Shuang. It was heading for the spot between Hao Shuang’s brows! It seemed as though the sword would not rest until Hao Shuang was dead.

Hao Shuang felt chills running up his spines as though someone had poured a bucket of ice-cold water on him.

A horrified expression appeared on Hao Shuang’s face when he saw the sword heading for the spot between his brows.

He cried out in alarm, “Sh*t!”

Just as the Jasper Celestial Sword was about to pierce through the spot between Hao Shuang’s brows —

Whoosh!

A figure jumped out of Hao Shuang’s gigantic body. It was the smaller figure of Hao Shuang. This figure instantly fled far away after it said, “Black Kshetra Sect! Fire Worship Sect! I, Hao Shuang, will forever remember this enmity!” It did not take long before the figure disappeared.

Splat!

At the same time, the Jasper Celestial Sword had also penetrated the spot between Hao Shuang’s brows, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

“Soul Detaching Form?” Although it seemed as though Duan Ling Tian had managed to kill Hao Shuang with the Jasper Celestial Sword, he knew Hao Shuang’s soul had managed to escape at the last second. His soul had already fled far away at this moment. What he had killed was only Hao Shuang’s body, an empty shell now that Hao Shuang’s soul was no longer in its body.

The Eighth Form of the Saint Celestial Stage was also known as the Soul Detaching Form. When a powerhouse had cultivated to this level, his or her soul would be free from the shackles of their bodies. The soul would be able to function normally even when it was out of its physical body. If the physical body was destroyed, the soul would be able to create a body after a certain period of time.
