Chapter 370 - Blood of Celestials
The curtain of Milky Way behind Shen Lian was already getting very blurry. All the dust particles on the ground started to rise up to the void.
If there was no surge of world-shaking divine lights, he would stay there and not leave at all.
It was not because he did not acknowledge the three celestials of Guangqing and the Green Bull, but only when he did this he could clearly know how terrifying the three humans and one beast were.
The more it was so, the calmer he was.
Grandmaster Yuanqing"s sword will, the Avici sword will that Ye Liuyun had gifted, even the Milky Way Sword will and the Dazizai Shapeless Sword will that was just newly attained had all come together and integrated at this moment to transform to be an invincible sword will.
Taixu could hold anything and everything. This newly formed invincible sword will too.
However, just having this sword will was insufficient, he still lacked another sword.
A sword that was almighty and invincible.
Initially, that sword was a Five Elements Magical Sword that was formed by adding Earth, Water, and Metal elements into Xuande Sword. However, things did not go the way they were supposed to and the Five Elements Magical Sword was not successful.
Xuande Sword could not take this sword will.
Was it the only way for him to use his Primordial Spirit as a sword, and transform his whole life into a sword?
If there was no other choice, he would do it without any hesitation.
Now it seems like he did not have any other option.
Yuming, Lingguang, and Daoqing could clearly see Shen Lian"s aura forming as an invincible sword will.
When this sword will was formed, it definitely had to be released. It either destroyed the enemies or destroyed himself.
Fortunately, Shen Lian had this unrivaled sword will, but he did not have the one and only magical sword in this world.
Yuming the Honoured Celestial did not smile but deep down he felt relieved.
Five-colored clouds were formed on top of the three of them and they were linked together as one Qi. It was dazzling and the glowing light rays shone in all directions. They did not want to attack but instead, to defend.
As long as they could defend Shen Lian"s matchless sword will, they could succeed.
At the same time, it was an all-or-nothing battle. If one person succeeded, the three of them would succeed together. Similarly, if one failed, the three of them would fail together. This could help share the damage from Shen Lian"s sword will. Even if in the end the Green Bull had hidden motives, when Shen Lian drew his sword, the Green Bull"s Primordial Spirit would be heavily damaged and thus there would be nothing to be afraid of. The three of them would still have the ability to dominate the situation, force the Green Bull to negotiate to reach an agreement.
Although there was no change in Yuming the Honoured Celestial"s expression, deep down he felt relieved because they were at the wheel.
Daoqing"s mana condensed, he was prepared to fight the battle. He certainly would not commit any mistake and one might well say that he was experienced and steady.
Lingguang was slightly apologetic, but the Milky Way Sword aura was constantly s.h.i.+elding the three of them at the outermost layer of the five-colored clouds.
With endless Milky Way essence, it eroded part of the sharpness of Shen Lian"s invincible sword will. Even if the strike that Shen Lian was about to give out was world-shaking, it might not be able to hurt their fundamentals.
She was whispering to herself, "Blame the fact that that you were not born in Guangqing." However, she knew that from then on, she would not be able to forget Shen Lian"s face, that there was somebody who exceeded her knowledge about the cultivators and he was so extraordinary.
He was not merely trying to live an ordinary life, he was a real Dao pract.i.tioner. Once he had made his decision to do something, no matter how difficult it was, he would do it.
This kind of durable morality was usually masked under his calm and leisurely appearance. But when it erupted, it would be so stirring.
The Green Bull lied down at one corner and its eyes rolled a few times. Finally, it decided not to move.
When Shen Lian"s sword will was about to peak when his Primordial Spirit was about to transform to the sword will"s medium, he was about to be at the most transcendent moment in his life. There was a blood red longsword flying down from far accompanied by a leisure groaning of the sword.
The murderous intent that came from it actually integrated into Shen Lian"s invincible sword will.
This felt like although Shen Lian"s sword will was already invincible, it was merely just a non-living thing. But with the long sword"s arrival, it then had the real backbone, a soul.
"I"ll lend you this sword. Three years later, come up to Mount Zhong to look for me."
When this voice appeared, everybody felt chill in their bones. It was colder than the snow and sharp like an exquisite sword that thrust into their hearts.
When Shen Lian took over the sword, his Primordial Spirit merged harmoniously with the blood red sword, as though they had been each other"s companion for many years and they were connected at a deep level with each other.
He knew its name was "The Trapping of Celestial". He also knew its current master was Chen Beidou, but it did not affect the connection between them.
There was an upsurge of boundless red glow. Shen Lian moved forward calmly.
The sword"s name was "The Trapping of Celestial"
Lingguang was shocked. She made a prompt decision to attack with the Milky Way sword aura and stopped her self-defense.
The majestic sword aura was just exactly like the strong Milky Way.
The greatness of this sword could be a perfect example to any Cultivator of the Sword.
A lady"s sword could actually have such fiery vigor.
When Lingguang struck with her sword and if the Milky Way went downright, it would be irreversible. It also carried an irresistible powerful momentum.
Even Yuming the Honoured Celestial had strong admiration her Junior Apprentice-Sister.
Shen Lian held The Trapping of Celestial Sword and struck. The strike came off lightly like a young b.u.t.terfly which just came out of its coc.o.o.n, still carrying some uncertainties.
This strike looked so fragile, so much so that it differs from the previously invincible sword will which was softly being conquered in the endless wave of the Milky Way.
Just like the whispers between lovers and the flowing whimpers.
However, suddenly the huge waves formed by the Milky Way sword aura was painted in red. One strike penetrated through the air, it was indeed invincible.
It was just like a dream that slowed people"s ability to respond on time.
Carried with some red rays, the bright red sword tip landed on Lingguang"s body just like the drizzle in a spring breeze.
Shen Lian"s face was calm and he used one strike to pierce through Lingguang"s chest where the heart was located at. When he pulled out the long sword, the slightly clear fresh blood suddenly gushed out.
Before Lingguang"s shocking expression had even faded, Shen Lian walked past her and approached Daoqing with a strike.
Daoqing was already prepared, he did not have time to worry about his Junior Apprentice-Sister.
One punch was being fired and infinite power was concentrated in that punch.
It was just like a roaring dragon which swept away everything.
If there was a mountain in front, that punch would shatter the whole mountain into pieces.
When this punch was thrown, it was as though the entire s.p.a.ce had collapsed, just like a completely sealed house with its air inside suddenly drawn out causing the atmospheric pressure of the outside world crushes the entire house.
On top of that, there was a palace above the fist, which was pressed down together with the punch.
This celestial palace was built from a lot of spiritual materials. Its weight was definitely no lesser than a gigantic mountain. Moreover, it contained Yuming the Honoured Celestial"s supreme mana.
The dominating aura was so overwhelming that huge waves tore the banks apart and the jagged boulders would pound the clouds.
It was enough to make anyone feel despair.
Shen Lian calmly drew out his sword. His fair hand was stained by a drop of slightly clear blood bead which had a faint fragrance. This was not his blood but Lingguang"s blood.
The blood was not in bright red color but an almost transparent light red water droplet.
This was celestial"s blood essence, its mortal smell faded long ago.
The strike by Shen Lian pierced through Lingguang the Daoist nun"s heart, where its blood essence was located at.
