I Can Traverse Multiple Worlds

Chapter 418: Chapter 219: Separated by Ten Thousand Years, the Original Heart Remains Unchanged

Wang Xiao gazed at the woman wreathed in sword light, a figure much like a Sword Immortal, and for a moment, his vision blurred.

Although this woman’s appearance was different from Xu Muying’s in the past.

But Wang Xiao recognized her at a single glance.

Appearances could change, and even the Divine Soul could be altered, but the Self-Enlightenment Light was eternal and unchanging.

Having reached his current Realm of Cultivation, Wang Xiao could naturally perceive a person’s true essence with a single glance.

What’s more, while Xu Muying’s familiar accent had improved, traces of it still remained.

’Fate... it truly works in mysterious ways.’

A trace of joy unconsciously bloomed in Wang Xiao’s heart.

Although he was devoted to the Dao and had always believed the Great Dao was a solitary path, that no one could accompany him forever...

However, upon truly seeing an old friend after a thousand years of separation, he still felt a sense of happiness.

This was only natural.

Wang Xiao wouldn’t deliberately suppress such feelings; he simply let them be.

After all—

No matter how high his Realm, he was still human. The path he walked was not one of transcending all emotion.

Emotions, whether joy or sorrow, were part of being human.

"The Life Seed is ownerless. Whichever of us is fiercer gets it. If you want to fight me for it, I’m more than happy to oblige."

Xu Muying clearly didn’t recognize Wang Xiao.

Wreathed in sword light, she crossed a thousand miles in a single leap, appearing right before Wang Xiao.

’I no longer look like Monk Wu Chen, and my aura has changed considerably. Xu Muying doesn’t have my level of Cultivation, so it’s only natural she wouldn’t recognize me.’

Wang Xiao mused.

He knew that Xu Muying had arrived in this world ten thousand years ago.

For him, it had only been a thousand years since he and Xu Muying had parted.

But for Xu Muying, their separation had lasted for more than ten thousand years!

At this thought, Wang Xiao felt a flicker of amusement and smiled.

"You must be Daoist Lord Xu Muying of the Celestial Sword Dao?"

A glint appeared in Xu Muying’s beautiful eyes.

"You know of me?"

Wang Xiao said,

"Who hasn’t heard of the great Daoist Master Xu? But the Life Seed is, as you said, an ownerless treasure. If you wish to claim it, Daoist Master Xu, you’ll have to prove you have the strength for it!"

Xu Muying’s Sword Intent instantly surged to the heavens, erupting from her body.

"Enough talk. It all comes down to a fight anyway. Don’t come begging for mercy later!"

ZING!

The instant the sound rang out, a sword hum like a dragon’s roar suddenly echoed through the void.

Everything between Heaven and Earth seemed to vanish, leaving only the sword light in existence!

Xu Muying had clearly only unleashed a single sword strike, yet it seemed as though hundreds of millions of sword gleams had erupted at once!

A piercing sharpness filled the entire void, transforming it into a Sword Light World that shredded everything in its path, both tangible and intangible!

Within the Sword Light World, endless streams of Divine Will flowed.

Some were vicious, some merciless, some tranquil, some transcendent, some boundless...

The sword lights constantly collided and interwove, exuding a magnificent aura of absolute authority over life and death, creation and destruction.

Before this single strike, it seemed that even a Saint would have no choice but to close their eyes and await death, incapable of mustering even a sliver of resistance.

"Excellent!"

Wang Xiao couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration as he watched the brilliant Sword Light World.

This Domain was leagues beyond the Ghost City of the Extreme Yin Ascendant!

It possessed a true spiritual essence, a foundation in the Dao; it was no ordinary Sword Light World.

Within it, endless ages seemed to unfold, revealing one scene after another.

There were common folk, struggling and suffering in the mortal realm.

There were Cultivators weaving their Divine Techniques, their power spanning Heaven and Earth.

And there were the Daoist Lords themselves, masters over the life and death of countless mortals.

This one strike was all-encompassing, containing all of history!

It represented all mortal life, the entire universe!

With a single sword, she commanded life and death!

Sensing the might of this strike, Wang Xiao didn’t hesitate for a second as Divine Will surged around him.

The instant the Sword Light World manifested, his own vast Ninefold Divine Domain appeared in defiance, smashing violently against it!

BOOM!

The sound of the impact already exceeded the limits of what this Land of Void could perceive.

Millions of miles of space and time seemed to freeze in that instant!

The endless void was violently ripped apart, leaving terrifying fissures that would not heal anytime soon!

Countless meteorites shattered into dust!

A torrent of terrifying sword light shot across Heaven and Earth like the spine of the cosmos, piercing through the endless void and into the Ninefold Divine Domain!

In that instant, even Wang Xiao felt the sword light penetrating his layers of Heaven and Earth, threatening to tear them apart one by one.

He channeled the infinite Great Dao, detonating endless Divine Techniques to repel the sword light.

Immediately, he activated the sword-like Celestial Pillar that supported his Ninefold Divine Domain.

"Try this strike of mine!"

Wang Xiao pointed forward without hesitation!

ZING!

The sword-like Celestial Pillar, wreathed in the power of the Ninefold Divine Domain, slashed down violently at Xu Muying!

RUMBLE—

The void buckled under the pressure, trembling violently before shattering completely!

A world-ending tempest erupted throughout the endless void!

This strike not only contained a world of living beings but also wielded the terrifying, world-creating power of the cosmos itself.

The Ninefold Divine Domain contained Nine Heavens!

Each layer was at least equivalent to the Domain of a Tier Seven Life!

’Huh?!’

Xu Muying’s pupils shrank as she watched the strike slash down at her.

Since her reincarnation into this world, she had built her foundation upon the Twenty-Third Sword.

She had walked her path with sword in hand, absorbing the essence of this world’s Cultivation until she finally attained the Dao and became a Saint.

When it came to understanding the Sword Dao, she believed no one’s comprehension was deeper than her own.

And yet, facing this person’s strike, she actually felt a sense of inadequacy.

This strike was unparalleled in all of history, containing within it endless Divine Techniques.

Even she was unable to comprehend its infinite variations!

When had such a figure appeared in this world?!

However.
