*Whoosh!*
Both of them disappeared on the spot as their Spiritual Energy collided. Tian Yongheng took out his Primal Dao Sword, slashing down a large amount of Sword Qi fiercely.
Seeing this, Gong Jian also immediately took out a shield shaped Dharma Artifact that produced a green barrier around him, trying to block the attack.
*Bang!*
A loud sound echoed through the air as the ground shook. Instantly, Gong Jian’s defensive Dharma Artifact was completely overwhelmed by the huge pressure of the Primal Dao Sword.
Cracks started to appear on the green protective barrier, and the next moment, it was blown away. But the Sword Qi that was slashed out by Tian Yongheng showed no signs of stopping or dispersing as it continued to attack Gong Jian.
He barely avoided it as it swept past him, cutting down an entire valley and leaving a sword mark in a radius of 20 miles. The sword mark looked as if the place was demolished by some form of divine punishment from heaven.
Gong Jian was utterly shocked by this display of strength from Tian Yongheng.
This fellow...damn it, is he really only in the Acquired Realm?
He cursed inwardly.
He suddenly took out a long spear like Dharma Artifact as he imbued it with Spiritual Energy, preparing to attack.
This is...dangerous!
Tian Yongheng was stunned for a moment before he immediately activated all his defensive Dharma Artifacts. His eyes became more focused as he held up the Primal Dao Sword.
That fellow also has a Rank-4 Dharma Artifact!
Tian Yongheng couldn’t take any risks after seeing the spear like Rank-4 Dharma Artifact in Gong Jian’s hand. However, just as he was about to send out another wave of Sword Qi, Gong Jian suddenly threw the Dharma Artifact in his hands at Tian Yongheng with all his might!
Tian Yongheng immediately swung his Primal Dao Sword to block the attack, but the impact was so strong that he was instantly pushed back a mile away.
His eyes flashed with extreme caution as his right hand formed hand signs. Immediately afterwards, 29 Celestial Swords made up of pure Sword Intent appeared and started to circle around him.
108 Celestial Swords!
Sword Intent was a power every sword cultivator had. There were also other intents, such as Spear Intent and Bow Intent. They were obtained by cultivators after working very hard and having great talents.
Tian Yongheng naturally had powerful Sword Intent because he possessed the Innate Talent of Sword Heart. Sword Intent was similar to the Sea of Consciousness, it was like the will of a cultivator. and combining Sword Intent with Spiritual Energy could one produce Sword Qi. It should only be natural that Sword Qi was the purest and most powerful, right?
No, since it was combined with Spiritual Energy, it had become impure. But the Sword Qi made up of pure Sword Intent simply couldn’t exist, or was really hard to produce. This is common knowledge.
But Tian Yongheng was beyond common knowledge. The 108 Celestial Swords art in itself was the way to produce the purest form of Sword Qi, directly transforming it from Sword Intent.
At this moment, all the 29 Celestial Swords circling around Tian Yongheng rushed towards Gong Jian. He immediately called back the spear Dharma Artifact and tried to block the attack, but he failed miserably as the Dharma Artifact was blown off, while he himself was directly hit by the overpowering Sword Qi.
*Wham!*
A loud bang was heard as he landed on a small mountain, demolishing the entire landscape along the way. The mountain also shook before crumbling apart entirely.
Gong Jian coughed up a mouthful of blood, trying to stand up again in the pile of debris.
[Gong Jian’s hatred towards you has increased.]
[Current hatred: 7-Stars(Max)]
"Th..this fellow...cough...I’ll kill you.." His eyes turned red, powerful Spiritual Energy bursting out of him as a big silhouette made up of Spiritual Energy appeared behind him.
An avatar made up of Spiritual Energy!
It was completely controlled by the cultivator as it was essentially their own Spiritual Energy. Their own body.
However, before he could even do anything, he sensed an extremely powerful presence. He turned around to see Tian Yongheng with his own golden avatar, which was nearly as big as his own.
Tian Yongheng was sitting in the lotus position, his avatar also doing the same, making him look like a Immortal God.
...
At this moment, more than 20 miles away from the Sword Seeking Sect.

All the Core Elders and below were escorting the disciples out to keep them safe. Many of the disciples had already died, so there was no choice but to save the remaining ones. But at this moment, they heard a huge bang coming from the side of the sect.
All of them turned around to see the battlefield. Cultivators’ senses were very sharp, so they could see things very far away. It was not an issue for these people to see what was going on in the battlefield.
Cracked ground stretching out to tens of miles, shattered mountains, forests swept clean, thunderclouds roaring and raining down lightning on the land and those two figures hundreds of feet tall who could be seen even from miles away...
They didn’t care how did it happen, nor who was fighting against the Innate Realm expert. Only one thought came to their mind.
Is this the power of the gods?
...
This was the exact same thought that appeared in the minds of the nearby onlookers, except for Yan Jingfei.
They couldn’t believe their senses right now.
What is happening?
How can a Acquired Realm cultivator overpower a Innate Realm cultivator?
It’s too unrealistic. I’ve never seen anything like this in my hundreds of years of life.
Tian Yongheng...just who is he?
Multiple notifications appeared in front of Tian Yongheng, but he ignored all of them as his avatar struck out with a palm strike. The palm strike condensed into dense Spiritual Energy as it hit Gong Jian’s avatar.
Heavenly Rage Palm!
Gong Jian’s Spiritual Energy immediately dispersed, his avatar also shattering along with it. He didn’t even have the strength to resist right now. His Spiritual Energy had completely depleted.
Tian Yongheng dispersed his Spiritual Energy, his avatar also disappearing along with it. He raised his index finger as he floated in the air, a giant finger made up of Spiritual Energy forming above Gong Jian.
*Squash!*
The finger instantly came down like thunder, squashing Gong Jian under it completely. Blood spilled everywhere, his bones crushed and body utterly destroyed.
He became a bloody mess within a matter of moments.
Tian Yongheng came down to the ground. He looked at his trembling hands and couldn’t help but feel guilty inside, though his expression on the outside remained indifferent.
This was the first time he had actually killed someone. It was only natural for him to feel this way. It took him a few moments to really calm down.
He checked his relationships and enemies’ list. As expected, Gong Jian’s name was no longer there. Even if his soul had not been destroyed, he was still not at the level where he could remember the memories of his past life after reincarnating.
Tian Yongheng heaved a sigh of relief as he closed his eyes, just standing there as drops of rain started to fall down on his face.
It’s over...for now at least.
A/N: Think of the whole avatar thing as Susanoo from Naruto Series, that may be easier to understand.
