Chapter 829: Chapter 363: Sword Dao Source Analysis (2)
"Even, the innate Qi generated within is so abundant it’s about to overflow the body’s surface!"
"The combination of innate Qi with the great success of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body has never existed from ancient times to the present!"
He had previously mentioned that Xu Ran’s body could produce innate Qi limitlessly, even if the Sea of Spirit was filled with innate Qi, it would continue to generate, and the overflowing innate Qi would all attach to the body surface.
With such innate Qi in the body, combined with the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, the first physique of ancient times, having the ability to analyze the origin isn’t surprising!
For a moment, his gaze at Xu Ran held a bit more interest.
He was extremely curious about what heights Xu Ran, being the embodiment of great success, would ultimately reach.
"However..." After a moment of silence, the senior brother continued, "You need not worry excessively, this newbie’s ability to analyze origin is not very strong, he can only analyze origins lower than his cultivation level!"
"He can analyze the Celestial Spirit Sword Array now only because it is an unclaimed object, and the sect leader of Sword Sect has long perished in the river of time, thus making it very simple!"
The senior brother’s words instantly eased their tense hearts significantly.
Although Xu Ran’s performance in the trial within the Nine-Layered Giant Tower was quite outstanding, his cultivation was only just at the beginner level of a cultivator.
And each of them had survived unknown ages, the time it would take for Xu Ran’s cultivation to catch up was uncertain.
Moreover, their ability to enter the Nine-Layered Giant Tower also demonstrated their own genius.
As Xu Ran improves, so do they, it might even be possible that Xu Ran might never catch up to them in a lifetime.
Without matching cultivation, even with the means to analyze origin, he could not affect them.
Furthermore, as disciples of the Nine-Layered Giant Tower, and Xu Ran being one too, even with cultivation, there’s no reason to strike at them!
After sorting through all thoughts, all Soul Bodies at that moment also relaxed, continuing to watch Xu Ran in the mirror, curious about how he would face the Celestial Spirit Sword Array!
...
In the Dueling Arena.
Xu Ran hovered in place, surrounded by white aura currents, with numerous fierce sword Qi impacting the white aura from outside.
"Swish!"
Countless sword Qi left traces around the white aura, but the next moment, it was replenished by the abundant Spiritual Qi surging from Xu Ran’s body.
At this time, Xu Ran’s gaze swept around, facing the endless sword Qi without fear, he opened his palm to reveal a tiny scar, appearing to be inflicted by sword Qi. Above this wound, a drop of golden blood floated.
This drop of golden blood was the initial sword Qi that cut through the palm.
The reality was exactly as the senior brother speculated.
This drop of golden blood wasn’t ordinary blood, but his heart blood, transformed golden through the cultivation of great success Innate Saint’s Sacred Body along with infinite innate Qi.
And precisely because of this, he could mobilize this drop of heart blood to analyze the incoming first sword Qi.
Now Xu Ran was already familiar with the origin of this sword Qi.
"A single Immortal Sword can actually support such a terrifying sword array---the Celestial Spirit Sword Array!"
"Moreover, the owner of this sword array actually mastered the origin of the Three Thousand Sword Dao, this... is simply terrifying!"
Having analyzed the origin of the sword Qi, Xu Ran also learned the name of this sword array, realizing it belonged to the sect leader of Sword Sect from ancient times.
This sword array, containing the mastered Three Thousand Sword Dao of the sect leader, is extremely terrifying, one misstep can lead to body and Dao destruction!
"However!" Xu Ran paused for a moment, then said, "This is not the true Celestial Spirit Sword Array, and I have already learned the origin of this sword array, making it not difficult for me at all!"
Xu Ran was incredibly confident at this moment.
The white aura currents surrounding his body, seemingly sensing Xu Ran’s confidence, soared tens of meters, while the sword Qi leaving traces above it seemed like rootless duckweed, unable to withstand the sudden surge of aura, dispersing to all sides.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Instantly, the surroundings erupted with rumbling sounds, upon following the sound, it was seen that the previously intact edge of the arena was already shattered, even with the support of Gold Attribute Energy, there were still traces of sword array, and the sword Qi above lingered without dissipating.
"Buzz!"
As the scattered sword Qi was repelled by the white aura, three thousand Sword Pillars simultaneously emitted buzzing sounds, the Sword Pillars themselves continuously trembled, and the sword patterns on them gleamed with light, forming gathered sword Qi.
Every strand of sword Qi was the former sect leader’s comprehension of the Three Thousand Sword Dao!
These sword Qi continued to gather, meld, and intertwine in the sky, forming a rising sword Qi storm.
The three thousand sword Qi transformed into Immortal Swords, merging together.
Before long, a giant Immortal Sword large enough to sever heaven and earth coalesced in the sky, this Immortal Sword, at least a hundred meters in size, suspended over Xu Ran’s head, with an overwhelming aura, illuminating the heavens!
Upon seeing this, golden aura continually rolled in Xu Ran’s eyes, innate Qi endlessly radiating white, encircling all around.
At this moment, Xu Ran was like a true Sword Immortal, akin to the ancient Immortal Sword descending from the sky, sharp and fierce.
"Pierce!"
At the instant Xu Ran’s body was like a sword, the Immortal Sword suspended above his head sensed him, immediately slashing down toward Xu Ran.
In an instant, the air surrounding this Immortal Sword compressed together, seemingly extracting air, causing a faint glimpse of void.
As the Immortal Sword descended, Xu Ran’s fingers joined like a sword, his fingertips flowing with Sword Intent contained within the Immortal Sword Skill, like a genuine Immortal Sword.
To an outsider, Xu Ran appeared to have transformed into a pocket-sized flying sword, and to those familiar with Xu Ran, they would certainly think Xu Ran had become that pocket-sized flying sword capable of cutting through everything.
"Boom!"
In a flash.
Xu Ran’s fingers transformed into the Sword Immortal, colliding directly with the Immortal Sword infused with the Three Thousand Sword Dao.
The resultant powerful airwaves swept everything visible, even the Gold Attribute Puppet found it hard to stand firm.
The three thousand stone pillars firmly embedded in the ground incessantly trembled, with their sword tips swaying as if they might detach due to the fierce wind.
As everyone assumed this duel would last some time.
"Clang!"
In the midst of noisy wind, a clear sound of shattering emerged.
Upon hearing this sound, all Soul Bodies looked toward the stone pillars embedded in the ground.
"The stone pillars are shattering!" exclaimed the second senior brother in disbelief.
Even the youngest junior sister did not refute his claim.
After all, Xu Ran’s body had transformed into an Immortal Sword, even if a sound occurred, it wouldn’t be this kind of sound.
This crisp ’clang’ could only originate from the Sword Pillars.
At this moment, all Soul Bodies focused on the three thousand Sword Pillars.
Only to see, every Sword Pillar’s central sword body had a crack, widening incessantly.
Soon, the entire sword body was covered in cracks, resembling a spiderweb, disintegrating severely.
Simultaneously, the Immortal Sword colliding with Xu Ran was also continuously shrinking.
As cracks appeared on the Sword Pillar, the Immortal Sword formed from three thousand sword Qi also reduced to Xu Ran’s size.
"Humph!"
Standing amidst the fierce wind, Xu Ran let it ravage his body, his attire flapping loudly, he snorted coldly and his fingers advanced further.
"Clang!"
At the same instant.
The almost shattered three thousand Sword Pillars finally crumbled on cue!
Three Sword Pillars simultaneously exploded, transforming into a sky full of stone rain, scattered on the ground.
Upon landing, they became flying ashes, returning anew to the Ancient Bronze Gate!
