Chapter 641: Chapter 641 – Transcend
Layers upon layers of virtual shadow appeared before him. The lightning in the sky suddenly froze as Bai An’s sword struck, as if its power was spreading in all directions, destroying everything.
The Heavenly King’s Golden Saber was a legacy Chen Heng had obtained from a divine weapon. From Chen Heng’s current perspective, the Heavenly King’s Golden Saber’s legacy was powerful enough to rank among the legacies of Heavenly Venerate.
This saber technique was terrifying in terms of slaughtering. Once it was fully displayed, it was enough to kill the G.o.ds and Buddhas, destroying everything before it, just like the current moment. Bai An held the ancient sword in his hand as if it was merging with his body as one. Finally, the sword slashed forward.
Bang!
The surroundings became silent when the sword struck. The lightning before him stagnated and gradually changed after seemingly being affected by the attack. The vast lightning sounded and stopped. Like raindrops falling on the ground, it gushed toward Bai An’s body. However, it did not cause him any damage. Instead, it turned into his Gen Qi, replenis.h.i.+ng his strength.
The people were shocked to find that Bai An’s aura did not weaken as he transcended the catastrophe as everything happened. Instead, it became stronger. It was an indescribable feeling.
In the eyes of these existences before him, even if an ordinary Heavenly Venerate was powerful, there was a limit to it. Although its strength was far greater than theirs, it was not to the extent of the difference between heaven and earth.
However, Bai An’s aura had risen to this level now. The aura on his body was so powerful, as terrifying as the aura on the ancient sword.
This was the power of the ancient sword. It strengthened Bai An’s body and increased his strength, enabling him to see ahead with a higher field of view and re-examine his cultivation and strength.
Then, a door seemed to suddenly open. The power of the ancient sword quickly emerged, strengthening Bai An’s body. The scene before him looked explicit as he slowly opened his eyes, but it was completely different in other people’s eyes.
In the eyes of ordinary mortals, this world was nothing more than a typical scene. Every river, every stone was real. It was indeed the real world. However, everything in this world was born from spiritual energy in cultivators’ eyes. The only difference was the amount of spiritual energy in it.
However, the situation was different in Bai An’s eyes. Everything before him looked like a densely-packed Dao pattern. Those Dao patterns flickered in the void and were engraved in the lightning, surging toward him along with the lightning at this moment.
Upon closer inspection, it was not just the lightning. Dao patterns were also visible in the surrounding cultivators’ bodies.
“Is this everything that appeared in the eyes of the Heavenly Venerate?” An inexplicable realization emerged in Bai An’s mind, and he instantly understood what was happening.
He had already surpa.s.sed his original level and observed the world with a higher field of view. The scenery he saw was different from before. This state was undoubtedly extraordinary, so unique that it could only be formed by the ancient sword though it could not be maintained for a long time.
However, the harvest he had gained was prosperous. Many complex issues that he could not understand or resolve in the past were no longer an issue now. Bai An felt that his cultivation would advance by leaps and bounds and reach another level if he could overcome this hurdle.
Before his eyes, bolts of lightning dispersed automatically. Under the power of the ancient sword, the Dao patterns in the surrounding thunderbolts shattered, scattering onto the ground one by one, becoming exceptionally dazzling.
The virtual shadow of the divine weapons began to glow in the surrounding, transforming into completely different divine forms that bombarded Bai An’s body, leaving behind numerous marks on his body.
This feeling was profound because those Earth Heavenly Weapons were extremely real and powerful even though they were virtual shadows. They indeed possessed some of the power of their actual bodies, giving off a supreme charm. If one were to comprehend that aura carefully, it would be similar to the Earth Heavenly Weapons, equally terrifying and powerful.
If it were the Bai An from before, he might not even be able to withstand one or two attacks, not to mention facing these virtual shadows head-on. He would have instantly fallen into a dangerous situation and might even die.
However, it was much better at this moment. A b.l.o.o.d.y light emerged before Bai An, leaving an eye-catching b.l.o.o.d.y scar on his chest. A supreme slaughter power surged and was displayed at this moment.
This was the Sword of Buddha. It had taken advantage of the moment when the divine weapons’ virtual shadows were restraining Bai An from attacking decisively, leaving a deep gash on his body. One could vaguely see the bones within it. It was terrifying. Yet, this was not the end.
Bang!
Unknowingly, the long sword in Bai An’s hand was raised high. His gaze had unknowingly changed as he stared forward, looking unprecedentedly firm and calm.
Under the two Heavenly Catastrophe before him, the ancient sword in his hand had already combined with Bai An’s power, no longer separated from each other. This was the realm of the unity of man and sword.
Under Chen Heng’s unreserved urge, the power initially belonged to the ancient sword was entirely s.h.i.+fted to Bai An’s body, causing his aura to expand and increase continuously.
Bai An could sense just how mighty the ancient sword’s power was under the current state. Despite the lightning before him, he did not have the slightest fear and merely took a deep breath, then charged forward directly.
Bang!
The virtual shadow of the supreme G.o.d appeared once again, moving together with a golden knife wielded. That powerful force formed many virtual shadows that began to dance chaotically around the area. Turbulent currents rushed in all directions. A considerable amount of divine power exploded in this place as if it wanted to clear the area, turning it into an empty s.p.a.ce.
Furious lightning struck Bai An as if it was tempering his body. White marks appeared on Bai An’s body as the lightning struck, like scars left behind by the intertwining of metal and gold, looking shocking.
The lightning before him was terrifying. That aura seemed to represent destruction. Its power was terrifying, as if it could easily kill a DemiG.o.d. However, even such frightening lightning couldn’t affect Bai An and stop him from moving when it landed on his body.
On the contrary, as Bai An bathed in the spiritual aura of the surrounding, his supreme aura burst out. Bai An was dressed in white, just like he was in the past. In his eyes, infinite divine light bloomed with Dao diagrams imprinted on them.
He raged in the lightning, brandis.h.i.+ng the long sword continuously and forcefully cleaving a path.
Bang!
The lightning roared in all directions, and one rune after another continuously scattered before surging into Bai An’s body. His Qi Blood soared into the sky as he was bathed in these runes.
The virtual shadows of the Sword of Buddha and the ancient Sky Mirror appeared one after another in the surroundings, wanting to get close to his body and knock him down to the ground.
However, all of them failed, as the Qi Blood was so powerful that it turned into a natural barrier that blocked all external obstacles. It could not break through this barrier, no matter how powerful or terrifying its strength was.
The ancient sword was glowing. The Heavenly Catastrophe and the Armed Catastrophe gradually merged. And so did Bai An and the ancient sword, the aura on their bodies began to expand rapidly.
In other words, although Bai An had not completed his final transformation, his aura was not inferior to that of a real Heavenly Venerate. That kind of prowess was so terrifying that it was simply shocking. It was hard to believe that it was released by a cultivator who had yet to step into the domain of a Heavenly Venerate.
The ancient sword soared into the sky. Like the legendary divine weapon that could cleave obstacles before it apart, it opened up a brand new path for the world.
Chen Heng’s power was urged to the extreme and rushed out to deal with the Armed Catastrophe. The power that belonged to the eighth rank was unleashed, causing the faces of the surrounding Eternal Dynasty powerhouses to change drastically.
“That sword is so powerful…” They were shocked as they looked at Bai An and the ancient sword.
In the legends, the Earth Heavenly Weapon was equivalent to a Heavenly Venerate, which only a Heavenly Venerate could subdue and control. Its battle strength was equivalent to that of a Heavenly Venerate. However, everyone present knew that this was only in theory.
In reality, even an Earth Heavenly Weapon would be terrifying if it unleashed that degree of power. Only a suitable weapon master could do so. Usually, the Earth Heavenly Weapon could only unleash limited power and might not be able to reach that level due to the weapon master’s power limitation.
However, they could sense that the power of the ancient sword had already reached that level at this moment. The power of an eighth rank was not weak even among Heavenly Venerate and was far from comparable to those who had just advanced to Heavenly Venerate.
In other words, the ancient sword alone could exert the power of a Heavenly Venerate even without the weapon master’s power, and this alone was enough to surpa.s.s many Earthly Heavenly Weapons in the world. Moreover, its power was still increasing.
Bang!
The vast lightning struck and scattered in all directions, hitting the secret realm before them. A ma.s.sive array of runes appeared around the secret realm, blocking all the lightning bolts. However, a gap gradually appeared, which seemed to be unstoppable.
