Chapter 3573 Breaking the Nine Heavens
Tantai Bai had just finished speaking.
Xiao Ling's expression turned indifferent, and the immortal sword in his hand hummed on its own. It seemed as if an indescribable pressure suddenly descended upon the vast world.
That moment.
A rare look of seriousness appeared on Tantai Bai's face.
For the first time ever, he felt a faint sense of threat from Xiao Ling.
at this time.
Xiao Ling took a step forward, and his aura reached its peak.
"This sword is named 'Severing the Nine Heavens,' please appraise it, Senior Brother—"
The words fell.
The sword comes out!
As soon as Xiao Ling swung his sword, a towering sword beam suddenly slashed out. All the power of the Great Dao rules collapsed and annihilated before this sword. Even the world before him was split in two by this power.
In Tantai Bai's eyes, only a single sword light occupied his entire vision.
An unprecedented, intense sense of threat welled up from the depths of his heart.
In an instant.
Disregarding everything else, Tantai Bai immediately summoned an ancient cauldron, pouring all his qi, blood, and immortal power into it, and suppressing it with the power of a supreme treasure.
"boom!!!"
The moment the two forces collided, the ancient cauldron let out a mournful cry, and then, to Tantai Bai's astonishment, it shattered into pieces.
next interest.
The sword's edge slashed down in front of him.
All protective magical techniques became as fragile as paper at this moment.
Immediately.
Tantai Bai was completely overwhelmed by this force.
……
"Boom!"
The small world trembled. When the sword light dissipated, a chasm like an abyss appeared before Xiao Ling, rising from in front of him and disappearing into the end of the world.
The power of this sword strike seemed to have cleaved the entire world in two.
As for Tantai Bai, he had already disappeared.
Looking at Xiao Ling again, his face was also pale, and his arm holding the sword hilt was trembling slightly, which showed how much this sword strike had taken a toll on him.
however.
A smile had now appeared on his face.
Won!
Tantai Bai ultimately could not withstand the power of this sword strike.
Subsequently.
Xiao Ling then took the pill, sat cross-legged on the spot, and silently recovered his losses.
This was also the first time he didn't immediately choose a new opponent.
After all, this sword strike had completely depleted his immortal power. If he were to encounter an opponent of Tantai Bai's caliber again, he would definitely have a chance of victory.
The only way to cope with the troubles ahead is to seize the time to recover as much as possible.
outside world.
The elders from all sides were now looking at the arena. When they saw Xiao Ling defeat Tantai Bai with a single sword strike, almost everyone's face showed astonishment.
"Tantai Bai has been defeated!"
"That sword strike was quite powerful—"
"Severing the Nine Heavens... I've never heard of such a divine ability before. Peak Master Qian, when did your Sword Peak acquire such a powerful divine ability?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
Anyone with eyes can see that Xiao Ling's sword strike was far beyond what a Celestial King's divine power could match, and even ordinary ancient immortal divine powers would find it difficult to compare.
Logically speaking, even if they had never seen such a supernatural power, they should have at least heard of it.
After all, within the sect, although there are quite a few supernatural abilities at the Ancient Immortal level, each one has a certain reputation.
Qianhen shook his head at this, saying, "This divine ability is not a Sword Peak ability. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Xiao Ling's own good fortune!"
As he said this, an uncontrollable smile appeared on his face.
What was supposed to be a sure defeat turned into a huge surprise from Xiao Ling.
He defeated Tantai Bai with a single sword strike.
If it weren't for the protection of the arena, the opponent would have perished on the spot.
In other words, Xiao Ling's sword strike was worthy of killing a Celestial King.
A cultivator at the first level of the Great Power realm possesses the combat power to slay a Celestial King. With such strength alone, one can be called a prodigy.
this moment.
Qianhen had only one thought in his mind: no matter the cost, he would do everything in his power to nurture Xiao Ling.
Even if Xiao Ling fails to make it into the top twenty and obtain a spot to enter the Blood Pool, I will do everything I can to improve his cultivation level.
Not qualified!
Then let's use resources to overwhelm them!
Even if it comes at a great cost, it's worth it.
It can be said.
Qianhen was satisfied with the strength Xiao Ling displayed in this battle.
Sword Peak absolutely cannot miss such a prodigy.
"If this boy were to reach the Immortal King realm, this sword strike might even be able to kill an ancient immortal!"
Shen Changqing then slowly spoke, offering a fair assessment.
Slay the ancient immortal!
These words caused the others' expressions to change once again.
If it is difficult for a powerful being to defeat a Celestial King, then for a Celestial King to defeat an Ancient Immortal, there are very few geniuses in the entire sect who can truly achieve this.
Hear the words.
Qianhen's gaze toward Xiao Ling grew increasingly intense.
"I never expected that such a prodigy would appear in our sect again. The mystery of this sword is probably comparable to the divine power of an Immortal Emperor."
With his mastery of the divine powers of an Immortal Emperor at the level of a Great Power, it is evident that this young man's talent in swordsmanship is already top-notch.
The only thing lacking is cultivation aptitude!
Yang Daoxu also spoke slowly at this moment, acknowledging Xiao Ling's strength.
Celestial Emperor's Divine Power!
These words shook many elders to their core.
Among the many cultivators present who have entered the Ancient Immortal Realm, there are actually very few who can truly master the divine powers of an Immortal Emperor.
This can be seen.
Cultivating such supernatural powers is extremely difficult.
Shen Changqing remained noncommittal regarding Yang Daoxu's words.
Others might not be able to see much of the mystery in Xiao Ling's sword strike, but how could he not see it?
Yang Daoxu's description of the Celestial Emperor's divine powers was only half right.
With Shen Changqing's insight, he could see that Xiao Ling's sword strike was an incomplete divine power.
but.
Even with incomplete supernatural powers, one can still reach the level of an Immortal Emperor.
If it were a complete divine power, Shen Changqing suspected that such a divine power was of a rank sufficient to qualify as a semi-saint.
"It seems this person has quite a bit of good fortune!"
Shen Changqing gave Xiao Ling a deep look and nodded inwardly.
It doesn't matter if your qualifications are a little lacking.
If one has sufficient good fortune and opportunities, then one may one day break through to become an ancient immortal, attain the Dao of an immortal emperor, and even achieve immortality.
Given that such a powerful being could receive the inheritance of a semi-saint, one can only imagine the extent of their good fortune and blessings.
Up to now.
Shen Changqing was already certain that Xiao Ling would get a spot in the Blood Pool this time.
After all, that was a half-saint's inheritance. Even if the other party's current cultivation level made it difficult to unleash the true power of such a divine ability, it was still enough to kill an ordinary immortal king.
not to mention.
In addition to this semi-saint inheritance, Xiao Ling also possesses the complete Great Thunder Sound Sword Technique.
If they only rely on Duan Jiuxiao, it will be very difficult for them to reach the top twenty.
Such semi-saintly divine abilities consume astonishing amounts of energy. With Xiao Ling's current cultivation level, even using just one ten-millionth of his power would be enough to completely drain his immortal power.
However, the recovery time on the stage is limited; once it can be used, it is difficult to use it a second time in a short period of time.
But with a fully mastered Great Thunderclap Sword Technique, it's a different story.
The energy consumption of a Celestial King's divine power is not as astonishing as that of a Half-Saint's divine power.
Coupled with Xiao Ling's own foundation and such supernatural power, it would be difficult for anyone in the same realm to compete with him.
It is undeniable.
The Xuantian Dao Sect has indeed developed rapidly in recent years, but geniuses like Xiao Ling are still extremely rare.
……
An hour later.
Xiao Ling activated the token, and when his opponent appeared, his expression finally changed.
The newcomer was none other than Tantai Bai, who had just been defeated.
"We meet again!"
Tantai Bai looked at Xiao Ling with a meaningful smile on his face.
"I just wonder if you, now, could unleash that sword strike again?"
"...I surrender!"
After a long silence, Xiao Ling directly admitted defeat.
I know my own situation.
An hour of recovery is far from enough to restore his strength to its peak, and naturally, it will be difficult for him to unleash that sword strike again.
If Tantai Bai's strength is insufficient, then he has no chance of winning if he cannot unleash that sword strike.
at this point.
Xiao Ling could see it clearly.
and so.
This time, he had no intention of making a move.
Just as Xiao Ling was about to activate the token, Tantai Bai stopped him, saying, "I'll give you one day. You can admit defeat after one day!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling's expression faltered slightly, and then he bowed to Tantai Bai.
"Thank you, senior brother!"
He didn't expect that Tantai Bai, who had been defeated by him earlier, would still be willing to give him another chance.
The one day they gave me was simply to allow me more time to recover.
Tantai Bai said calmly, "You don't need to thank me. It's just that with your current strength, it would be a pity if you were to lose to an ordinary cultivator."
I must say, the power of your sword strike is unlike anything I have ever seen in my life.
"Without reaching the Immortal King realm, I cannot withstand him!"
As he spoke, Tantai Bai's expression became increasingly emotional.
The image of that sword strike was still vivid in his mind.
This was the first time since he had reached the level of a half-step Immortal King that he had sensed the aura of death emanating from a powerful being.
If it weren't for the protection of the arena, Tantai Bai had no doubt that he would have perished under that sword.
Because he admired Xiao Ling's strength, Tantai Bai was willing to give him a chance.
This statement came out.
Xiao Ling's expression grew increasingly grateful.
He then wasted no time and immediately sat cross-legged to meditate and quietly recover his strength.
When people outside saw this scene, they all had different expressions.
"This boy is not bad!"
Aoki nodded; he was right, he was referring to Tantai Bai.
Qianhen nodded in agreement: "What the Supreme Elder said is quite right. It's just a pity that Xiao Ling was unlucky and ran into Tantai Bai twice in a row."
He finished speaking with a hint of regret.
With Xiao Ling's strength, if he hadn't encountered Tantai Bai twice in a row, the opponent might not have lost.
But you can't blame anyone for this.
Moreover, Tantai Bai's actions also made Qianhen develop a good impression of him.
Regardless, Jianfeng now owes the other party a favor.
Otherwise, if Tantai Bai hadn't given Xiao Ling a chance, and the latter had been even less lucky, he might have really missed out on the top twenty.
A day passed quickly.
Xiao Ling opened his eyes, looked at Tantai Bai, and smiled: "Thank you, Senior Brother!"
"No need for thanks. If we meet again, I won't hold back."
"me too!"
Xiao Ling took a deep breath, bowed to Tantai Bai, and then activated the token, disappearing from the small world.
