Starting With 100 Million Lives

Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: Sword Dao World

"A duel between sword cultivators?"

Upon hearing Brother Cheng’s words, Venerable Xi Wu’s eyes suddenly shone with a captivating brilliance.

"I didn’t expect you to be a sword cultivator too!"

He restrained the disdain in his eyes and even added a touch of respect.

"Since you are also a sword cultivator, I will use the methods of a sword cultivator to give you an honorable death."

As his words fell, the sword in his hand gradually began to glow.

However, the eerie thing was that no one present sensed any fluctuations of immortal power from him.

There were no rules or divine soul fluctuations either.

It was as if they had suddenly found themselves in an ancient forest untouched by humans for ten thousand years.

Everywhere was filled with vines and wild branches, nearly suffocatingly trapping everyone.

Looking as far as the eye could see, there was no daylight, only deep despair.

"Wood Sword Heart!"

Just as this thought surfaced in everyone’s mind, the entire forest transformed into a sea of flames!

The fierce flames swept across without giving anyone a chance to react.

In an instant, they engulfed everyone in the sea of flames!

"Fire Sword Heart!"

Already, some cultivators instinctively retreated.

Because this was no ordinary sword heart attack, but a sword Dao that formed a cycle with the sword heart as its boundary.

It required neither divine soul communication nor immortal power reinforcement to naturally invoke the origin power of heaven and earth...

This was the mighty aspect of sword cultivators!

There are many immortals who choose the way of the sword, and not without reason.

Human cultivators must compete with other races naturally endowed with advantages, relying either on endless immortal artifacts, treasure arrays, and runes as external aids.

Or, like sword cultivators, they blaze their own path.

The burnt forest lay desolate, a scene of utter devastation.

Suddenly, all the blackened ashes on the ground rapidly condensed into entities, shining with resilient brilliance.

The destroyed forest unexpectedly became a golden hall.

And the smoking blackened stumps transformed into countless cold, gleaming spears, emitting a chilling aura.

Before everyone could react, all the spears had already surrounded them.

Dense and without the slightest gap!

"Golden Sword Heart!"

Even though they were not within this ’attack’ range, nor were they locked as targets, everyone still felt a chill.

Just sensing from the outside, they already felt the threat of death.

And in that moment, an overwhelming sense of loneliness crept into the hearts of all.

Everything in heaven and earth seemed meaningless, leaving only the eternal extinction.

For immortals, this was exceedingly rare.

As immortals, their minds were typically very resilient, and for them all to simultaneously manifest a particular feeling was already considered a mental attack.

Being influenced like this in battle could very well end things prematurely.

"Silent Extinction Sword Heart..."

Some Celestial Venerables struggled to resist the sword heart’s invasion, and all that remained in their hearts was shock.

"To think it is already four types of sword hearts!"

"Moreover, these four sword hearts have been comprehensively integrated, forming a unique sword Dao!"

"It’s no wonder he is Venerable Xi Wu..."

Facing the sword Dao formed from the fusion of these four sword hearts, even those outsiders were greatly affected, let alone Jiang Cheng, who bore the brunt of it.

"Have you understood?"

Venerable Xi Wu, holding a long sword, didn’t even look at Jiang Cheng.

To his eyes, the target standing as still as a wooden chicken was already a living dead.

He directed this question to Qiu Yuxuan.

The beauty in her eye was completely immersed in the sword Dao.

Only upon Venerable Xi Wu’s question did she awaken from her dream-like state.

And from her body, a trace of sword Dao aura appeared.

It was a sword Dao world majoring in Everlasting and Eternal Night Sword Hearts, supplemented by the other five sword hearts!

A world belonging to Qiu Yuxuan.

Though this world currently only showed a tiny immature form.

Forming a true sword Dao required a long journey ahead, but she had taken that crucial first step.

Sensing that tiny trace of sword Dao, all the spectators were struck with awe.

"What kind of talent is this!"

"Just in Emperor Realm Sixth Layer, she already has a sword Dao embryo?"

"Has she even touched the origin though..."

"Simply by sensing someone else’s sword Dao up close, she took that step!"

"Such swordsmanship comprehension, rarely seen in this world!"

Those immortals who joined King Jia’s Dojo initially felt indifferent toward Qiu Yuxuan’s entry into the Upper Court by special consideration.

She had skipped past Lower and Central Courtyards without any effort or achievement.

Though it was said she had outstanding talent, having not seen it with their own eyes, they were not entirely convinced.

Now, their only response was reverence.

Venerable Xi Wu slowly lowered his sword.

He stared blankly at Qiu Yuxuan before him, wishing to say something to evaluate the girl.

Yet when it came to speech, he realized he had no right to judge her.

The entry into sword Dao was extremely challenging.

It wasn’t achievable by talent and comprehension alone.

Some have high realms and possess several sword hearts, but never form their own sword Dao in a lifetime.

Venerable Xi Wu himself took three billion years to form a sword Dao embryo in his day!

And by then, he was already a Celestial Venerable.

Initially, he thought if Qiu Yuxuan could glean even a little insight from his sword Dao world, it would be supreme talent.

He never imagined that simply experiencing it up close, she would surpass the step he took three billion years to reach!

Such talent, no longer just rare, was absolutely unique!

"How biased is the Heavenly Dao..."

For the first time, this thought emerged in his heart.

Facing such unparalleled talent was a despair that seemed to leave him wondering what meaning his cultivation as an ordinary person had.

Were it not for the dojo’s rule against accepting disciples, he intended to take Qiu Yuxuan as his sole disciple.

Now he realized, he was unworthy of being her master.

Being her elder brother, witnessing her surpass him in the future would be the greatest honor of his life.

He took a deep breath, calming his complicated emotions, intending to approach Qiu Yuxuan and speak a few words.

At that moment, Brother Cheng’s perplexed voice rang from the front.

"Bro, is this all?"

"Weren’t you going to give me an honorable death?"

"And this is it?"

Brother Cheng had been waiting for a lethal attack to come.

He naturally wouldn’t resist, as that would be deemed suicide.

Yet the issue was after Venerable Xi Wu’s tiger-like fierce maneuver, Jiang Cheng’s health dropped to zero, without a trace of harm, requiring no defense at all.

This left him quite disappointed.
