Chapter 325 - 173: Minor Celestial Sumeru Sword Array
The Ten Thousand Swords Gourd emitted a stronger suction force, as if it opened an invisible Taotie-like maw, instantly absorbing all the fiendish air and the circulating sword energy into the gourd.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Crisp sword ringing sounds came from within the gourd, seemingly unable to directly control these sword energies, allowing them to continuously collide with the gourd’s walls, producing metallic reverberations.
However, as an entity capable of accommodating numerous sword energies, the initially absorbed White Yi Sword Qi Stone’s formless sword qi was rather mixed and unmanageable. But when the interior began to contract, any sword qi, no matter how powerful, would be sorted, integrated, and thoroughly refined once inside the gourd, becoming completely controlled.
After a long while, when everything returned to calm, whether the terrifying fiendish air or the suffocating sword energy, they seemed like illusions, vanishing without a trace.
Zheng Yi took a deep breath. After spending an entire day, he finally thoroughly refined this small pile of White Yi Sword Qi Stone Ore. Bereft of the support from its sword fiend, the white ore disintegrated completely, turning into a small heap of powder scattered there.
Poof!
Zheng Yi extended his right hand, curiously observing.
On the surface of his extended fingers, a formless sword qi quietly emerged, transforming into a chill as it cut through the air, leaving a deep mark on the secret chamber wall.
"Is this the legendary Body-breaking Invisible Sword Qi?!"
In the Great Yi City Immortal Realm, sword cultivators have always dominated the top of the attack rankings, and amongst sword cultivators, the most powerful or one might say the most eerie attack method is the formless sword qi.
This is why Zheng Yi went to great lengths to retrieve Xin Lingxian at the Nine Yin Hall, why he waged war against the Qin Family, and why he risked offending the mightier Golden Palace Sect.
All for this Body-breaking Invisible Sword Qi.
...
Half a year later, still in the underground secret chamber of the Soul Catching Sect, Zheng Yi sat there calmly, surrounded by layers of formless sword qi transforming into suffocating sharpness, silently surging.
The solid walls of the secret chamber had long been marked with sword scars of varying depths, some deep, some shallow, but the aura lingering on each scar was sharp enough to suffocate.
With the computational ability of the blue orb, the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd became akin to a super brain computer. Zheng Yi didn’t need much computational power to effortlessly initiate the body-breaking invisible sword realm.
The realm is a special state where a large amount of energy of the same attribute is gathered and controlled.
By condensing the Body-breaking Invisible Sword Qi around himself, under the constraints of the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd, Zheng Yi directly formed a terrifying Body-breaking Invisible Sword Realm, with the core of the realm being a sword array derived from the formless sword qi.
As a type of array, a sword array is formed under the rules conforming to sword attributes, possessing extreme destructive power of the sword dao, and thus wielding powerful might.
Of course, this sword array wasn’t forged out of thin air, shaped as one pleased. After Zheng Yi destroyed the Qi Family, he received three magic techniques from a dying Human Pig in the secret chamber, one of which was the sword array.
Minor Celestial Sumeru Sword Array!
As a core disciple of the Little Five Elements Sword Sect, this Minor Celestial Sumeru Sword Array taught to Zheng Yi is not an extraordinary inheritance, but it is indeed an exceptionally powerful and outstanding sword array.
Clang! Clang!
Crisp sword chants resonated, the trembling metallic overtones echoed in the air, yet around Zheng Yi, formed layers of terrifying, formless sword qi, invisible even to the naked eye. Only with powerful divine soul power could one clearly detect it.
If one uses divine soul power to sense, not fearing the sword qi tearing the divine soul power apart, one can ’see’ clearly, lines of transparent sword qi surrounding Zheng Yi’s body, continually shifting according to some special law, either condensing or dispersing, every change carrying a terrifying and unmatched cutting force, with waves of invisible fiendish air spreading consequently.
The sharp sword qi churned the air, giving the calm space a gradually blurred appearance, to the point where even Zheng Yi’s expression was indistinct, only able to feel the waves of sword qi spreading invisibly, combining in a special formation in the air, forming a domain imbued with sword qi enveloping his body.
Giving one the feeling that entering would lead to immediate dismemberment by the formless sword qi, leaving no trace behind.
This is not something a flesh and blood body can withstand.
...
Boom! Boom!
On a desolate hill, Zheng Yi stood in mid-air, pointing with his finger, an formless yet palpable attack swept forth.
The naked eye could hardly discern the specifics, only able to feel nearly transparent sword qi sweeping over a mountain peak, the formidable sword qi cutting about a meter off the mountain peak.
Wherever it passed, obstructive trees and rocks turned into debris flying in all directions.
Subsequently, Zheng Yi withdrew his gaze, looking another direction.
There, a force akin to a volcano about to erupt, accumulating power, was restlessly stirring, nine Foundation Establishment cultivators, leading over a hundred high-tier Qi cultivators from the Daluo Alliance, were forming the Taiyin Profound Origin Blood Refining Array, gathering strength, ready to erupt at any moment.
Last time, by relying on this array, they easily trapped three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Profound Spirit Domain Heaven-Locking Temple. Zheng Yi is quite satisfied with the power of this array.
