Chapter 641 208: So This is Heroine Yan's Weakness?
Wang Mu felt a sudden chill, which then gave way to deep contemplation.
If I don't practice the sword, I should be able to do other things, right?
Watching the figure flying towards the sky, Wang Mu felt somewhat worried.
The battles of Ascension Experts were generally incomprehensible to ordinary cultivators. Even the Sword Sect had to raise its Mountain Protection Array to fend off the aftershocks of such battles. Wang Mu had reached the Nascent Soul realm, but he too couldn't quite understand what he was seeing.
In the sky, the Green Frost Sword Light was accompanied by what seemed to be Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire, with vast manifestations obscuring the entire Heavenly Vault. The sheer force of it was even more exaggerated than his own display moments ago.
Although I've reached the Nascent Soul realm... there's still a long way to Ascension...
Wang Mu watched, only able to vaguely discern a strand of sword light brewing within the storm clouds. That Dao Wuya was stronger than Lei Lixing had been; the mere spectacle of this battle far surpassed previous ones. Ascension Experts often embodied the clash of their own Great Tao; it was no longer limited to mere moves and techniques. The rules of the Great Tao, all techniques in the world—mastering any one could allow one to become an Outer World Immortal, free and unbound by the Heavenly Dao.
Come to think of it, what exactly was the Sword Dao that Elder Yan comprehended before? Wang Mu wondered. She steadfastly refused to tell him.
Looks like this is going to be a long battle...
Wang Mu glanced up several times, feeling the atmosphere in the void grow somewhat heavy, the aftermath of the battle not yet fully dispersed. That Lei Lixing had endured a hundred moves, and Sect Master Jian had said their fight lasted for several days.
Sitting on Heavenly Sword Peak, Wang Mu gazed into the distance, watching the battle while simultaneously attempting to convert the Five-Colored Divine Gold gathering around his Nascent Soul into Constant Silver Silicon Crystal.
Constant Silver Silicon Crystal, a rare material produced at the bottom of the Upper Realm Tianhe that can conduct Divine Sense across the void... It's said to be able to spread a strand of Divine Sense infinitely, traversing space and transmitting information across billions of miles... Moreover, because it can traverse space, it can even cross between two realms... However, a special Constant Silver Tower is needed to further strengthen the Divine Sense signal...
Regardless, it was an incredibly powerful material. However, a Divine Light Mirror didn't require much Constant Silver Silicon Crystal; as its driving core, this was the most crucial component. With it, the Divine Light Mirror could be used long-term. The two Divine Light Mirrors Little Jiao Huo had fortuitously obtained previously were almost depleted of Constant Silver Silicon Crystal, which was why they could only be used a few times. After those uses, the Constant Silver Silicon Crystal within them was completely consumed.
One Divine Light Mirror only needs a fingernail-sized piece of Constant Silver Silicon Crystal... It shouldn't be too hard...
In his Sea of Consciousness, the Nascent Soul sat cross-legged. The Five Elements materialized around it, and the Five-Colored Divine Gold emerged from the Resting Soil. He activated the Mechanism Creation Technique.
As the spell circulated, the Nascent Soul figure formed hand seals and chanted, its Spiritual Power boiling like a sea as it enveloped the Five-Colored Divine Gold. The cold, doll-like little Nascent Soul figure, like an emotionless spell-casting machine, rapidly consumed its energy. Simultaneously, the Five-Colored Divine Gold transformed into specks of golden light and began to slowly change.
This conversion caused the Spiritual Power within him to drain away as if a torrential flood had been unleashed. In the blink of an eye, Wang Mu's expression changed, his face turning a ghastly white. The drain was even more severe than when he had practiced swords with Yan Sword Immortal. Sword practice involved a blending of Yin and Yang, akin to the Great Yin-Yang Harmony Diagram, and was an extremely profound Dual Cultivation method. This conversion, however, was purely an outflow; the consumption was far too immense.
The newly formed Nascent Soul immediately wilted. In a mere moment, after converting only a grain-sized amount of Constant Silver Silicon Crystal, he could no longer sustain the process.
This material is too high-grade... Even my Five Elements Mixed Yuan Immortal Infant can't withstand it... But, as long as I can convert some, it's fine, even if it's a small amount... A few more tries should do it.
Wang Mu activated the Primordial Wood Longevity Skill. His Nascent Soul became ethereal and merged with his physical body. Instantly, the Spiritual Energy of the heavens and earth, as if drawn by a magnet, converged frantically towards Wang Mu's body.
「At the same time.」
The Heavenly Vault suddenly seemed to shatter, and a blinding streak of Green Frost Sword Light slashed across the sky. It was like a single sword strike that annihilated everything, cleaving through all in its path. All the various phenomena in the void above rapidly dissipated under this one sword strike.
A figure plummeted from midair, crashing onto a distant cliff and sending up countless arcs of lightning.
The onlookers were utterly astonished. Wang Mu, too, was momentarily stunned.
That person was Dao Wuya.
That didn't seem to take very long, did it? Wang Mu pondered for a few seconds, calculating the time. His own conversion process hadn't taken that long either.
「In midair.」
Elder Yan stood upon the Heavenly Vault, her grace unmatched, her unique Sword Immortal bearing peerless and transcendent.
Finished with just one sword strike? Wang Mu sensed his surroundings. He found that this sword strike was very similar to the one that had felled the Immortal Zombie. It was one of the Love Nine Swords...
Was Dao Wuya really that weak? This is so different from what I expected.
"Today, Elder Yan's Sword Intent is exceptionally sharp!"
"Haha, Elder Yan was definitely just being modest before!"
"Too strong! Finished with just one strike?"
"That's the Love Nine Sword Technique, the hallmark of Heavenly Sword Peak! To think it's so devastatingly powerful in the hands of an Ascension Realm expert—truly terrifying!"
「On Upper Cloud Peak.」
The six Peak Leaders exchanged glances, all falling silent for a moment. Before the battle, they had considered many scenarios. For instance, Elder Yan might be drawn into a grueling fight, only barely emerging victorious at the brink of perishing. Alternatively, she might not be able to hold on and be defeated. Perhaps both sides would exhaust themselves and agree to a truce. They had even considered the possibility that Dao Wuya would swiftly defeat her.
They had considered all sorts of situations.
But this outcome? They hadn't anticipated this at all.
"Elder Yan's sword..." Cheng Tianyong said softly, "somehow it feels different now..."
"It's more than just different," Wu Dayong said, shaking his head. "I feel she's even stronger than before. That Green Frost Sword Light is far more potent than when she slew the Immortal Zombie. It shows none of that previous weakness... I never expected Elder Yan to recover so quickly, in just a few months."
