Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 709 - 708: Stone Monument Longsword

In front of him was a massive stone monument.

It was entirely dark, resembling neither stone nor jade, standing about seven or eight zhang high, with the words ’Yin Mountain Palace’ carved in large characters. Clearly, this was Venerable Yin Mountain’s secret realm!

But what truly shocked and amazed Ye Qingchen was atop the stone monument!

He saw

a silver-white longsword, shining like a star, embedded in the monument. Cracks spread densely along the sword, virtually covering the entire monument.

Although

the sword was merely lodged in the monument, it inexplicably gave Ye Qingchen a powerful feeling, like the Stabilizing Needle!

Even his Gui Xu Sword paled in comparison to its existence!

Gazing at the sword, Ye Qingchen felt his mind and spirit irresistibly drawn to it, stepping forward involuntarily. As a Sword Cultivator, no one would pass up such a Supreme Divine Soldier.

"Could this be Venerable Yin Mountain’s weapon, or someone else’s?"

Ye Qingchen pondered as he involuntarily moved closer.

"Boom!"

He stepped within a hundred zhang of the monument.

The previously calm void around him suddenly shook; a massive surge of power poured down without warning as if a mountain had fallen.

"Thud!"

Ye Qingchen’s body trembled, his feet dug into the ice that had been frozen for who knows how long, leaving two distinct footprints.

Ye Qingchen’s eyes showed a hint of shock.

Because

this pressure was not from anyone else but from the longsword atop the monument! As a Human Immortal, only a mere blade could exert such terrifying pressure, showing how formidable it was!

Yet the more intense it was, the brighter Ye Qingchen’s eyes became, amplifying his desire for the sword!

However,

as he prepared to move forward, the ensuing changes made him pause.

The longsword, previously calm, seemed provoked by his approach. The sword body emitted endless brightness, and amidst the clashing sword cries, terrifying Sword Qi erupted in succession, sweeping directly towards him!

As if wielded by a Supreme Swordsman, hundreds of Sword Qi instantly burst forth, overwhelming him!

Split!

The power of these Sword Qi was immense, carving out waves on the ice surface that stretched hundreds of zhang from the monument right to Ye Qingchen.

Like a flood dragon breaking waves,

in the blink of an eye, they were upon Ye Qingchen.

"So fast!"

The speed of the Sword Qi was unbelievably fast!

Even Ye Qingchen’s expression changed drastically.

In this instant, he barely managed to raise his hand, letting his True Qi expand rapidly, forming a Gang Shield of ten zhang radius, clearing away the surround Yin Evil Qi.

Yet,

his Human Immortal-formed defense crumbled before the Sword Qi like a needle piercing a balloon.

"Not good!"

Ye Qingchen’s pupils contracted as he clenched his fist and punched out.

"Break!"

The punch was like a cannon firing, causing the void to erupt, with the air howling around him. It was as if a flood dragon danced wildly, shattering the aggressive Sword Qi!

"Thud!"

A terrible boom exploded.

The Sword Qi shattered, carving marks on the ground like a chiseled stone. Yet, Ye Qingchen was thrown off balance, retreating several steps, his fists trembling slightly.

"Too powerful!"

Ye Qingchen was aghast.

Though his punch shattered the Sword Qi, it left him in pain, invoking the sensation of punching against an immense wave or a Heaven-Suppressing Stone Pillar!

Just this one sword held such might.

Ye Qingchen was further convinced this sword wasn’t just a mere relic but like a Supreme Master’s weapon! What might would it unleash in the hands of a Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, or even Celestial Immortal?

"This sword is exceptionally formidable, certainly no ordinary weapon! It rivals Human Immortals... perhaps even exceeding them!"

A person flashed in Ye Qingchen’s mind!

Xiao Qi’an!

The master of Ten Thousand Gods Sect.

Previously, he couldn’t gauge Xiao Qi’an’s Cultivation Realm while in the Celestial Venerable Realm. Now, Xiao Qi’an must be at least Human Immortal Fifth Layer.

"I wonder if I can subdue this sword now?"

Thinking of this,

Ye Qingchen’s expression turned serious.

Though it was just a split-second clash, he gained an initial understanding of the sword. Even having reached Human Immortal, facing it left him no confidence he’d emerge victorious!

"Let’s try!"

"Having lost the Gui Xu Sword, I need a trusty weapon!"

"No matter its former owner, I must possess it!"

Staring at the longsword atop the monument, Ye Qingchen’s eyes brightened.

Boom!

At that moment,

his True Qi and Qi Blood surged within him, reaching their zenith.

In the instant his aura peaked, Ye Qingchen struck forth like lightning, charging at the monument, crossing the hundred-zhang line in mere moments!

"Clang!"

Apparently sensing Ye Qingchen’s fervent approach,

sword Qi skyrocketed in numbers.

"Annihilate!"

Ye Qingchen’s eyes sharpened, and with swift movements, thousands of flying swords emerged around him, saturating the sky!

With a wave of his hand, an endless torrent of flying swords collided with the Sword Qi.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

A series of metallic clashing echoes.

The flying swords shattered the Sword Qi and continued their assault on the longsword atop the monument, showcasing all Ye Qingchen’s techniques!

Aiming to suppress the Stone Monument Longsword completely!

However,

as the flying swords closed in, the Stone Monument Longsword seemed to rage, trembling violently, its sword light blazing intensely!

In the blink of an eye,

countless flying swords emerged around it, coalescing into a sword rainbow that burst forth directly.

Crackle!

Where the sword rainbow passed, the flying swords disintegrated like snow in sunlight, disappearing entirely, shooting towards Ye Qingchen!

The awe-inspiring killing intent enveloped Ye Qingchen instantly, rivaling the Bone Flood Dragon he’d encountered before!

"Get out!"

Under the relentless Sword Intent, Ye Qingchen’s eyes flared, grasping suddenly.

The tempest gathered, forming countless flying swords, coalescing into ten Sword Dragons, transforming into the Ten Directions Heaven-Breaking Sword Array, violently charging at the sword beam!

Boom!

The attacks collided violently.

The terrifying Sword Qi surged uncontrollably against each other as Ye Qingchen’s Sword Dragons under the Ten Directions Heaven-Breaking Array clashed with the Sword Qi, mutually destroyed, exploding upon impact.

Even the scattered Sword Qi struck fiercely against Ye Qingchen.

"Thud!"

Ye Qingchen’s body trembled, blasting backward again, retreating beyond a hundred zhang.

"This sword...!"

Watching the longsword settle into silence once more within the monument, Ye Qingchen slowly narrowed his eyes.

This longsword, indeed terrifyingly powerful!
