Chapter 544: Chapter 245: Four Sword Trial, A Stunned Audience, and the Terrifying Entity (Part 2)
It must be understood that crossing boundaries to kill enemies is not a difficult matter in the Martial Soul Continent. These unparalleled prodigies can somewhat achieve this when dealing with ordinary cultivators. However, crossing a great realm to kill is simply impossible.
Looking across the entire Martial Soul Continent, from ancient times to the present, such feats have barely occurred. You could count the number on your fingers.
Of course, as mentioned before, achieving this is only possible in a situation of complete surprise. If the enemy is prepared, defeating a formidable opponent while crossing a realm is nearly impossible; it’s simply unfeasible.
Yet, even so, this is sufficient to illustrate the horror of the Sword Domain.
However, what truly shocks everyone at this moment is not the appearance of the Sword Domain, but the sign of the Godslaying Sword releasing the Sword Domain.
"The Sword Domain is an extremely terrifying and untouchable supreme realm. Not only can astonishing sword cultivators condense a Sword Domain, but some terrifying Divine Swords will also create their own Sword Domain. The Godslaying Sword can release such a Sword Domain."
"And the release of the Sword Domain by the Godslaying Sword signifies... signifies..."
"Signifies what...?"
"Signifies it is about to impart the ’One-Sword Test.’"
It signifies that the person has passed all previous terrifying tests that they couldn’t even imagine, has touched the four major shackles of the Godslaying Sword, and is about to undergo the ’One-Sword Test.’
"What did you say? He’s touched the shackles of the ’One-Sword Test’?"
Rustle—!!!
Countless unparalleled prodigies from the Hundred Sects were utterly aghast, internally exclaiming that it was impossible.
"He’s only realized this for three hours, how could he possibly touch the ’One-Sword Test’ so soon? Is his Sword Dao Comprehension more terrifying than the Sword Saint and Qin Yi of the past?"
It’s not just more terrifying; if indeed comprehended in such a short amount of time, it would surpass the Sword Saint of the past. It’s simply incomparable, like worlds apart.
In an instant, everyone’s hearts nearly jumped out of their chests.
While everyone was in shock, the entire Heaven-Reaching Road had been completely replaced by the Sword Domain of the Godslaying Sword, as if the heavens and earth were entirely isolated. They coexisted, yet one did not interfere with the other. It could be understood that all present had entered the world of the Godslaying Sword, extremely profound and mysterious.
What now appeared before everyone was the world Ye Xiaofan began to enter in his consciousness. Vast mountains, rivers, stretching endlessly, with no end in sight. Before them lay endless ancient swords as tall as ten thousand meters, piercing across the mountains and rivers, between heaven and earth.
This looked like a world of swords, even the mountains, earth, streams, plains, etc., took the form of swords. Sword steles stood across heaven and earth, emanating an endless terror sword force, which pressed the void into collapse and extinction, reincarnation, and rebirth at all times.
Even the sky overhead was no longer the sky of the Heaven-Reaching Road, as if it formed a realm of its own, detached from all heavens and myriad realms.
Moreover, as the Sword Domain of the Godslaying Sword unfolded...
Suddenly.
Rumble—!!!
Claps of celestial thunder exploded from the Sword Domain’s firmament. Everyone, hearing the sound, looked up to see the endless summit of the heavenly firmament, with celestial thunder roaring, the infinite might of thunder tearing through Taichang, stirring all heavens and myriad realms.
Within that myriad thunder tribulation, a Divine Sword phantom extended millions of meters, seemingly capable of tearing open the universe in Taichang, destroying heavens from the peak, entangling with heaven, as if intending to smash through all heavens, a scene utterly shocking.
From afar, a Divine Sword appearing millions of meters large, possibly even larger, fought with the heavens. Beneath the firmament, within a myriad of ten thousand-meter-high sword steles, a figure silently stood atop the summit of ten thousand swords, comprehended with eyes closed, robes fluttering, as if the millions of meters-long sword fighting the heavens was controlled by the figure below, an indescribable heart-shaking sight.
"Heaven-Slaying Sword, it’s the Heaven-Slaying Sword, my heavens, Junior Brother Ye really encountered the ’One-Sword Test,’ this is the ’One-Sword Test’ of the Godslaying Sword."
Within the Divine Sword Sect, many senior brothers and sisters watching the awe-inspiring scene had their eyes nearly pop out. Some even recognized the millions of meters-long Divine Sword trembling with the heavens as the legendary ’Heaven-Slaying Sword.’
In fact, at the instant the Sword Domain appeared, or when the millions of meters-long Divine Sword emerged at the summit of the Sword Domain’s firmament, even the immersed Ye Xiaofan was stunned for a moment.
He naturally also recognized the origin of the millions of meters-long Divine Sword phantom; this sword wasn’t the Godslaying Sword itself but the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’ within the Heaven-Slaying Sword Array.
The ’Heaven-Slaying Sword Array’ was the Supreme Killing Array obtained by Mo Shiyi, and the reason Ye Xiaofan could instantly recognize it as the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’ was thanks to Mo Shiyi.
Everyone knows, the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword Array’ is formed by the ’Heaven-Slaying Four Swords,’ one of the most supreme killing arrays across heaven and earth from ancient to present. It’s said to be nurtured by an ’archaic existence’ attempting to destroy heaven, produced in infinitely distant ages, for the purpose of smiting heaven. Ultimately, the attempt to slay heaven failed, and the sword array was destroyed by the Heavenly Dao’s will.
The terrifying nature of a sword array capable of slaying heaven is imaginable. Seeing the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword,’ how could Ye Xiaofan not be startled?
The moment isn’t right for him to be startled; to obtain the ’Godslaying Sword Technique,’ Ye Xiaofan must at least entirely pass the ’One-Sword Test,’ otherwise he can’t get this sword technique. The Sword Saint Dugu Nan of the past fell short by the last step, thus only inherited the ’Dragon Emperor Sword Technique.’
