Compared to the might of You Tianhong's sword strike, many people were not surprised. A formidable cultivator at the Yuan Opening Realm Great Perfection, who had shaken the world many years ago, was expected to possess such astonishing swordsmanship. Only then could they truly live up to their renowned reputation.
What intrigued people even more was how Su Yi would deal with this sword strike.
In fact, the moment You Tianhong made his move, the gaze of those top-tier figures in the arena immediately fell upon Su Yi.
And then--
"Break."
Su Yi casually extended his fist from a distance.
Boom!
Translucent true yuan, as clear as ink jade, condensed. The black fist radiance transformed into a brilliant column of light, rushing toward the snow-white sword qi.
Su Yi, a Martial Grandmaster at the peak of the Fourth Level, had been consuming a Nine-Orifice Dragon-Tiger Pill every three days to temper his cultivation during this period. As of now, his foundation and cultivation were far beyond comparison with the past. If Li Changning were here, he would undoubtedly be shattered by this punch with ease.
Rumble!
The snow-white sword qi, carrying a murky thunderous sword intent, collided with the black fist force.
On the Observation Sea Platform, it seemed as if rolling thunder had exploded. The tremendous shockwaves of the battle wreaked havoc in all directions, causing nearby rocks and vegetation to be lifted into the air.
The ground was marked by countless cracks and pits, covered in scattered dust.
The clash between the two created a sensation that shook the heavens and earth, resounding throughout the ten directions.
"So strong!"
Many Precelestial Martial Ancestors and Martial Grandmasters in the vicinity were astounded and quickly distanced themselves.
Even though they had heard of Su Yi's many achievements before, witnessing his power with their own eyes still left them in awe. It was unimaginable that a Martial Grandmaster-level figure could possess such might.
"Just like that, it's broken?"
Hong Canshang, Yun Zhongqi, Jihe, and other land immortal figures all had a brief moment of concentration.
However, this outcome was not unexpected for them. If Su Yi couldn't withstand this sword strike, it would have been abnormal.
Amidst the billowing dust, You Tianhong frowned.
Seeing his sword strike so easily neutralized by Su Yi left even the pupils of this Yuan Opening Realm cultivator constricting.
He had condensed this sword strike using the qi of heaven and earth, utilizing his decades of arduous cultivation, with a perfected sword technique and a solid sword intent. It could easily kill ordinary land immortal figures.
But with just a casual punch from Su Yi, his true yuan was even more massive, and the profound rhyme contained within his fist force was incredibly refined. It was simply inconceivable!
"Go!"
You Tianhong's gaze turned cold as he unleashed his sword once again.
Swish!
The sword qi surged, extending up to thirty zhang, like a streak of training rainbow piercing through the sun, pulling the wind and thunder, resonating at the peak of Jiuzhi Mountain.
This sword revealed You Tianhong's true attainment in the Dao!
The chilling and terrifying sword intent penetrated the hearts of all, covering the sky and descending like a gloomy thunderstorm, exuding a violent aura of destruction that swept across all directions.
Su Yi stood his ground, taking a step forward.
As the sword strike approached, he pointed his finger, slashing through the void.
Similarly, it was sword qi, but Su Yi's sword was as profound and vast as the night sky. Although it was only three feet long, it was incredibly solid, as if a surging torrent surged within it.
The momentum of a single sword strike was like a collapsing mountain and a raging tsunami!
Crack!
In the disbelieving gaze of the crowd, a crisp sound rang out as the three feet of black sword qi actually split You Tianhong's thirty zhang formidable sword intent into two!
It was as if a delicate knife had cut through a massive mountain, creating a stark contrast between the small and the large, producing a strong visual impact.
As for the Yin and Thunder Sword Intent carried by You Tianhong's strike, it was practically insignificant and had no intimidation whatsoever on Su Yi.
After all, Su Yi also possessed Divine Sense, solid as a rock. How could he be affected by the sword intent power that belonged to the land immortal?
"The refinement of sword intent is not about being larger."
Su Yi's words carried a hint of mockery.
As the former Sword Master Xuanjun, who was revered as the pinnacle of the Nine Provinces, how could his understanding of Yuan Dao sword intent be comparable to the likes of You Tianhong?
As he spoke, his figure flickered, and he had already arrived in front of You Tianhong.
Swish!
The three feet of black sword qi descended with an unstoppable sharpness, enveloped by profound rhyme and the power of agile water-type spiritual energy, accumulating within this single strike like a tide!
Upon seeing this sword, Hong Canshang, Yun Zhongqi, and Shifengliu, these influential figures, were all shaken in their hearts.
With just a single sword, it contained the power of Divine Sense and the power of profound rhyme, accompanied by an immense sword intent that soared like a mythical beast.
Even in the hands of a land immortal, such a sword would be considered stunning and terrifying.
Yet, at this moment, it was effortlessly displayed by Su Yi, a young Martial Grandmaster!
How could this not be shocking?
"The agile water-type spiritual energy, the glimpse of divine rhyme derived from the creation, and the terrifying sword mastery that reaches the pinnacle!"
Yuli Wang Yueshichen, dressed in white and carrying a sword on his back, also radiated a touch of brilliance. This guy is really incredibly strong...
In an instant, You Tianhong's expression became solemn.
His robe fluttered, his momentum reaching the sky as he unleashed his snow-white longsword, formed by the qi of heaven and earth, with all his might.
Soul-Cleaving Sword of Dark Thunder!
It was an ancient sword technique, drawing upon the dark thunder of the netherworld, capable of slaying spirits, severing souls, and breaking the will of the deceased!
On Guanhai Terrace, a thunderous collision erupted.
Visible to the naked eye, the clash between the two distinctly different sword qi resembled water and fire, generating a destructive torrent of power that swept across the sky.
Amidst the deafening roar, the sword struck by Su Yi shattered inch by inch. At the same time, the snow-white longsword condensed by You Tianhong also disintegrated like rain.
Boom!
In the end, You Tianhong's figure was shaken by the terrifying shockwave, and his expression immediately changed.
Although he managed to block Su Yi's strike, Su Yi had already closed in within three feet of him!
Without any hesitation—
Clang!
You Tianhong brandished his own Silver Snow Sword, appearing like a silver lightning bolt streaking across the sky.
The gleaming sword edge was as translucent and pure as white jade, while faint thunderous patterns emerged on the sword body, emanating an indescribable aura of destruction.
The people around Guanhai Terrace felt their eyes stinging, as if they glimpsed a snow-white and agile dragon soaring through the air, accompanied by rolling thunder and lightning.
The clear sky was now filled with heavy dark clouds.
As the sword was unsheathed, the heavens and earth underwent a change, shrouded in gloomy clouds with resounding thunder!
Even the land immortals present couldn't help but gasp, their eyes flickering with brilliance. What a miraculous and exquisite spiritual sword! Just its aura alone could alter the atmosphere of an entire region!
What level of treasure could this be?
A sense of realization appeared in Su Yi's eyes.
Three days ago, outside the Liushang Tower, when You Tianhong drew his sword, Su Yi had already sensed that the aura of his spiritual sword was extraordinary.
And just now, before arriving at Guanhai Terrace, Yuli Wang Yueshichen had also reminded him that the sword in You Tianhong's hand originated from the ancient ruins deep within the chaotic Linghai of Daqin and possessed tremendous power.
Now, he finally realized that this sword was indeed extraordinary. Whether it was the material, the refining technique, or the thunderous decree engraved within it, it could be considered a pinnacle among the Yuan Dao spiritual weapons.
This is clearly not something an ordinary cultivator can refine. It requires a master of talismanic decrees and craftsmanship to create such a spiritual sword.
It should be noted that the reason why Su Yi's Xuanwu Sword is powerful lies in the fact that the sword itself is refined from the divine material "Xuanwu Divine Wood," combined with the engraved "Spirit-Devouring Decree," giving it unimaginable power.
Similarly, You Tianhong's sword is also engraved with a decree related to thunder!
With a sword in hand, You Tianhong's demeanor changed, devoid of any panic, and became as calm and resolute as iron.
Swish!
He swung his sword towards Su Yi, the snow-white blade traversing the sky, unleashing a vast expanse of thunder and lightning, as if embodying a sword deity dancing amidst thunder and electricity!
Meanwhile, Su Yi stood there with empty hands, relying solely on his own cultivation to confront the strike head-on.
Boom!
The void seemed to pour down a galaxy, overwhelming and earth-shattering.
This strike from Su Yi was clearly even more powerful than before, causing the nearby space to collapse, displaying an unstoppable momentum. If an ordinary land immortal were to face this sword, they would be easily slain on the spot.
But You Tianhong was incredibly powerful.
With a sword in hand, the translucent snow-white blade slashed, stabbed, cleaved, blocked, collapsed, and swept through the air, changing forms dozens of times in an instant. Thunder and lightning surged and intertwined in the void, erupting like successive torrents. A glance at Guanhai Terrace revealed a dazzling sea of white electric lights, accompanied by the rumbling of thunder!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
It was like a battle of deities, a fleeting moment where the two clashed dozens of times. Radiant sword qi burst forth between them, with waves of light and dazzling brilliance.
What was even more astounding was that even though You Tianhong wielded his sword, he could only match Su Yi's strength, with neither gaining the upper hand!
These scenes shook the minds and hearts of countless important figures present, making it impossible for them to remain calm.
They could imagine that Su Yi was strong, but they never expected him to be so unbelievably powerful!
Even You Tianhong himself flashed a hint of astonishment in his eyes. He never anticipated that Su Yi, with bare hands, could withstand his full-force onslaught.
All of this caused the countenance of this complete Perfection-stage Transcendent in the Void Opening realm to become unprecedentedly solemn.
Meanwhile, Su Yi felt exhilarated, with an overwhelming surge of battle intent coursing through his entire body, akin to an ocean in tumult.
Each strike carried a primitive and majestic aura, exuding an ancient charm as if a celestial being descended to demonstrate the might of swordsmanship. Su Yi's figure resembled a graceful crane, soaring through the heavens with elegance and grace.
"Slash!"
You Tianhong roared explosively.
The ancient silver snow sword in his hand slashed with a seemingly slow yet swift motion. Even before it reached the void, it transformed thirty-six times, ultimately forming a complete sword curtain spanning thirty feet in diameter.
Within the sword curtain, lightning danced and electric arcs flickered, displaying a marvelous phenomenon of the harmony between yin and yang.
"Excellent!"
Su Yi let out a long roar, shaking the night sky. His long hair fluttered, his green robe billowed, and his true essence surged as his eyes blazed with divine light.
He moved his palm and fingers, cleaving a sword across the sky.
The Sword of Great Joy, the first move, "Waning Milky Way"!
A cascade of sword qi swept across the sky like the Milky Way, spreading out in an overwhelming manner, cleansing and expanding.
Boom!
With a single sword strike, the thunderous sword curtain created by You Tianhong spanning thirty feet experienced intense fluctuations.
Although it ultimately dissipated Su Yi's sword, You Tianhong's blood and qi surged uncontrollably, leaving him astonished and infuriated. How could a mere Master-level figure possess such an extraordinary swordsmanship attainment?
