Sword Aura to the Heavens

Chapter 490: Chapter 485: Slaying the Seven Realms

Jiang Tianxing stared at Li Fan for a long time. He had previously heard that Jiang Taia was defeated by a Li Mountain Sword Cultivator, leaving his heart full of confusion.

The Jiang Family’s Innate Sword Body, Jiang Taia, a peerless prodigy encountered once in a century, destined to revive the Jiang clan, how could he possibly be defeated, even being erased by Li Fan?

Such an enemy, he must eradicate, even if it meant taking great risks. He was determined to do this, and he was the most suitable one to do it.

It wasn’t until this moment, exchanging blows with Li Fan, that he understood why Taia lost.

Li Fan’s comprehension of the Sword Dao had astonishingly reached the Seventh Realm.

Otherwise, how could he withstand the Seven Realms Sword?

The fate of Li Mountain was already in decline, yet unexpectedly, a peerless prodigy emerged again.

Even so, today he was determined to eliminate him.

"No wonder you dare to face my sword." Jiang Tianxing looked at Li Fan and said, "Though you have insights into the Sword Dao, you are ultimately just at the Sixth Realm. You... are still doomed."

Jiang Tianxing could see Li Fan’s talent, but he continuously shamed him with words. He purposely did so to provoke the pride in Li Fan’s heart, making him fight without outside assistance.

Only this way could he kill him.

He was aware that in this Capital, within a hundred-mile radius, there must be Great Cultivators watching over Li Fan, not to mention someone in the Imperial City who had a deep bond with Li Fan, even if it meant opposing that person.

Li Fan raised his eyes to look at Jiang Tianxing. Jiang Tianxing was also a Sword Cultivator, how could he not see what these two swords represented, yet he continued to shame him with words, only to provoke him.

Still, he was willing to oblige the other.

"I comprehended a sword in the Capital, felt something, but never had the opportunity. Today is just right, I’ll test the sword with you." Li Fan’s voice was calm, like a still lake, without any ripples.

It was as if, to him, the Jiang Family’s Seventh Realm Great Sword Cultivator was just a whetstone for his sword.

Using him to test the sword.

What arrogant words.

The cultivators within a hundred-mile radius were all speechless. A thousand-year-old unchanging law of cultivation, this was the first time they heard of a Sixth Realm Sword Cultivator using a Seventh Realm Great Sword Cultivator to test a sword.

If it weren’t for him being Li Fan, if it weren’t for his achievements more than a year ago, people would think he was a madman.

But having already become renowned across the world, defeating all kinds of prodigies, even Jiang Taia and the Buddha Son from the Buddhist Sect had fallen to the Li Mountain Sword Son in his hands, what was impossible?

Perhaps today they would witness the breaking of that unchanging cultivation law?

"Good."

Jiang Tianxing laughed loudly, raising his hand to point at the sky. The sky surged, endless silver Sword Aura spread like flowing clouds, brewing a devastating great tribulation of the Sword Dao. Countless silver tribulation lights descended, swiftly stirring a terrifying storm of destruction in the surrounding area, reducing rows of buildings to dust in an instant.

Cultivators whose cultivation wasn’t strong enough fled desperately, not sparing any attention to watch the battle.

Soon, a vacuum area formed around the two, while terrifying auras were brewing in the tribulation clouds above Li Fan.

"The Return of Ten Thousand Tribulations."

"Boom!"

The terrifying tribulation clouds seemed to transform into a super Sword Furnace, with a sky-piercing silver light descending, leaving a sword mark in the sky. People only then reacted, realizing that the sword had already fallen, piercing through Li Fan’s body in an instant, embedding into the ground, splitting the earth.

People held their breath, fixated on the battlefield.

"Afterimage."

The figure of Li Fan, pierced by the sword light, turned out to be an afterimage. His body had already appeared in another location.

"Did he move?"

A thought appeared in many people’s minds. Li Fan still stood there quietly, as if he had never moved, yet he truly appeared in another location.

"Buzz..."

Another beam of light descended, equally invisible to the naked eye, targeting Li Fan.

Li Fan still seemed not to move, yet people could see, as sword after sword descended, Li Fan steadily approached Jiang Tianxing.

The sword was fast, the person even faster.

Li Fan soon arrived a short distance in front of Jiang Tianxing. He looked up at the sky and shouted: "Nine Heavens Sword Fall."

Higher up in the destructive silver storm, the sky seemed to have a gap opened, and a sword descended from beyond the heavens, piercing into the tribulation clouds, splitting them from the center, tearing open a massive hole.

Only then did people see that the Heavenly Sword bore countless sword talismans, akin to the Taoist Ancient Sword Scripture, with radiant sword aura flowing between heaven and earth, as if it were the Immortal Sword.

Li Fan stood quietly in place, then the second sword, the third sword fell one after another. The silver storm was constantly torn apart, rays of light appeared in the sky, soon filling the sky with Deific Swords falling from the Nine Heavens, replacing the silver Sword Aura storm, pointing at Jiang Tianxing.

"Your Bright Moonlight is somewhat dim."

Li Fan faced Jiang Tianxing and said, "If this is your limit, it seems you don’t even have the qualification to test my sword."

Jiang Tianxing did not look at Li Fan but instead looked at the Divine Swords suspended in the air.

Even with insights into the Seventh Realm Sword Dao, how could one achieve such a level?

Not to mention Jiang Tianxing, even Lu Yuan and Qi, who were always with Li Fan, were shocked by this scene as they looked at the Divine Swords hanging in the sky. Could they suppress the Seventh Realm?

"Has it already reached such a point?!" Lu Yuan murmured in low voice, Liu Ji was also stunned, so, Li Fan hadn’t practiced his sword for so long, had he already comprehended it all?

Throughout the year, to what extent had he comprehended the Sword Dao.

No one expected such a scene, the cultivators in the Capital were stunned, watching the battlefield before them.

Had Jiang Tianxing truly exerted his full strength?

Was this a battle between Seven Realms and Six Realms?

The power Li Fan displayed at this moment, is it anything like the Sixth Realm, and which Sixth Realm Sword Cultivator is this terrifying?

"Next, it’s your turn to receive the sword."

As Li Fan’s words faded, a Divine Sword descended, a streak of light in an instant, pursuing the soul.

"Boom..." Around Jiang Tianxing, a veil of light appeared, enveloping him, the Divine Sword struck down, fracturing the light veil. Jiang Tianxing then lifted a finger against the attacking sword, shattering it, but his body was pushed a substantial distance back.

This retreat seemed to have decided victory.

Previously, when he had used the sword against Li Fan, Li Fan had never retreated a step, rather he advanced.

Before Jiang Tianxing could gather his wits, a second sword descended, the Nine Heavens Sword slashed through the sky, its sword dao presence made the hidden Seventh Realm cultivators tremble slightly in their hearts.

They pondered, if it were them facing Li Fan on the battlefield, what would happen?

"How dare you be impudent." Jiang Tianxing shouted furiously, seemingly enraged. He clasped his hands together, an overwhelming Sword Intent swept out around him, as if he transformed into a sword, the Divine Sword landed on him, colliding like two swords meeting.

A loud explosion, a silver storm spread out, Jiang Tianxing’s body darted towards the sky, merging with the illusory shadow.

"Return."

As the word fell, the silver light across the world was swallowed by his body, making the illusory shadow ever more real, transforming into Jiang Tianxing’s figure.

He extended his hand, the silver storm pierced from the sky gathered together, becoming his sword, the tribulation light dazzling. When yet another Divine Sword descended upon him, his sword slashed across.

This one chop released thousands of Tribulation Swords, obliterating everything in its path, even the Divine Sword aimed at him shattered.

"An ant shaking the heavens." Jiang Tianxing looked down at Li Fan below, his voice roaring like divine thunder across the Nine Heavens, rolling endlessly.

"Let me see the Seven Realms Sword."

Li Fan looked up, his voice still calm, just as he had said, today Jiang Tianxing had come, conveniently for him to test his sword.

"Fine, I’ll fulfill you."

Jiang Tianxing spoke loudly, as his voice fell, the sword dao pressure was felt for hundreds of miles around, Li Fan stood silently beneath that pressure, feeling it calmly.

Liu Ji and others in the distance were somewhat worried, even though witnessing Li Fan’s combat strength, but after all, in Da Li, there was no precedent of Sixth Realm defeating the Seventh Realm.

Jiang Tianxing lifted his hand, like the figure of a Sword God, wielding a sword.

As the sword fell, countless fissures appeared in the sky.

"This sword, Eternal Tribulation." As the sword descended, accompanied by Jiang Tianxing’s voice, everything under the sword’s cover would perish under Eternal Tribulation, no one would survive.

Li Fan, of course, would die.

Yet at this moment, Li Fan closed his eyes, as if entering a mysterious state, feeling the cutting sword, seeing each gap in the sky being torn apart, just like the sword’s name, Eternal Tribulation.

Jiang Tianxing was a genius too, his sword was definitely not weak.

This sword, below the Seventh Realm, meant certain death.

But today, there would be an exception.

The wind blew against Li Fan’s white clothes, he sensed the sword swallowing everything, this was Jiang Tianxing’s sword dao.

Grass and trees as sword, wind and rain as sword, thunder could be sword, starlight could be sword, all things under heaven and earth could be sword.

He himself could be sword.

Li Fan lifted a finger, stepping forward, entering that Eternal Tribulation.

"Madness."

Seeing the scene, the hidden cultivators’ hearts trembled fiercely, Liu Ji and others were also tense.

However, this sentiment only lasted for a moment.

The Eternal Tribulation descended, all things extinguished, the ground opened countless cracks, permeated with an extremely terrifying Sword Intent.

All things vanished, except for that body of flesh.

Li Fan’s figure appeared in front of Jiang Tianxing, fingertips touching the massive body.

In the next moment, cracks appeared on the giant sword body, like a web spreading, Jiang Tianxing’s eyes showed shock, bowing his head for a look, full of disbelief.

An ant shakes a tree? An ant shakes heaven?

A finger, extinction.

As the finger fell, Jiang Tianxing’s figure shattered, turning into a sky full of sword light dispersing, the fuzzy shadow still lingered, revealing a sense of fear.

In the Capital, countless pairs of eyes were also watching this scene with awe.

Today, the Sixth Realm defeated the Seventh Realm.
