My Cultivation Starting from Archery-Chapter 1367 - 492: Sword Sovereign of the Human World (Part 2)
"Not bad, some progress."
Lord Taishan said lightly, "You can now withstand one strike from me."
"Clang!"
Situ Ting wasted no words, left hand holding the Mystic Thunder Sword, right hand the Green Blade Sword, lightning and azure Sword Qi entwined as his body rose to the sky, eyes brimming with thunder overlooking the earth, akin to a god descending.
In his hands, the two entirely different flying swords began to merge, transforming into a divine dragon wrapped in blue and white lightning coiled around him, uttering a roar that trembled the heavens.
"Activate the formation!"
"Activate the formation!"
"Jiuxiao Juntian Mountain River Seal!"
At the same time.
Elder Chong Yuan Zhenren took out a Token from his bosom.
The sky suddenly dimmed, clouds twisted like ink into a massive vortex.
At the heart of the vortex, a piercing golden glow lit up, like the awaking eye of an ancient fierce beast, followed by two points, ten points, hundred points... In an instant, countless golden lights lit up within the clouds, resembling stars appearing by day.
These golden stars continued to grow larger at the height of the nine heavens.
No...
Not growing, but rapidly crashing toward the earth!
They are not stars either, but...
Massive Seals!
These seals, not made from physical material, are entities forged by Heaven and Earth Laws, flowing with blazing liquid gold light, exerting pressure as heavy as primordial stars.
The smallest like a fortress, the largest comparable to a mountain!
Along the edges of the Seal, the void could not bear its weight, silently twisting and collapsing, spreading ripples visible to the naked eye, ink-black as space. Where the ripples passed, light was swallowed, the air emitted a delicate, abrasive sound of fracture under immense pressure.
Kunxu Sect Mountain Protection Array!
This Formation's power already approaching the sixth tier!
"Woo – hum –!"
A sound so deep it seemed to arise from the earth's core resonated, shaking the foundation of the entire Kunxu mountain range, and the most terrifyingly large and majestic Seal at the vortex's center finally broke free of its last bindings.
With the emergence of this Seal, the light from the myriad others dimmed, like servants surrounding their monarch, bearing the will to judge the heavens, ignoring spatial distance, seemingly slow in speed but actually faster than mighty thunder.
Time seemed infinitely stretched at this moment, yet utterly shattered in the next instant.
As the Great Seal fell.
Situ Ting channelled all the Mana within his Dantian, empowering the dual swords, the Mystic Thunder Sword turning into a white thunder dragon, and the Green Blade Sword transforming into a heaven-devouring giant python, following the Seal left and right, fiercely smashing down towards the small figure beneath.
Lord Taishan had no time to evade, his hands forming seals to cast protection techniques, summoning a barrier before him.
But this barrier...
How could it withstand the combined strike of the Holy Sect Mountain Protection Array and one of the top three in Sword Dao Divinity Transformation cultivators?
"Crack!"
The barrier shattered.
The earth around Lord Taishan suddenly caved downward, forming a chasm-like pit that stirred a pillar of dust, enveloping everyone within.
When the dust settled, Mu Chutai remained unmoved, lightly leapt from the abyss, stepping onto the stone steps, gently brushing the dust from his sleeves.
"Putting on a show, the near-sixth-tier formation, I want to see how long you can last!"
Situ Ting commanded.
Above the sky.
Thousands of mountain river seals began falling like a meteor shower.
Lord Taishan's arms braced in front, finally unable to take a forward step.
"Empty-handed is rather inconvenient.
"I've heard...
"Though your Kunxu Sect's Sword Dao is lacking, the flying swords crafted are noticeably better than those of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Let me test this merchandise."
Mu Chutai suddenly raised his leg, crushing the steps, declaring word by word, "All Swords Return to the Ancestor—"
As the word "Ancestor" left his lips.
Above Kunxu Sect.
The swords sang in unison!
All cultivators, regardless of level, found their flying swords vibrating intensely.
"What's happening?!"
"My sword, my sword is out of control!"
Chong Yuan Zhenren's Lifebound Flying Sword unsheathed itself, he clutched the hilt tightly with both hands, constantly pouring mana into it, yet it was all in vain, his whole body nearly lifted into the sky, ultimately he had to choose to let go.
More and more flying swords, seemingly summoned by the Master of Ten Thousand Swords, broke away from their original owners and soared into the sky, converging into a silver sea.
"Damn it!"
Situ Ting's arms were almost shattered by two flying swords, he bit the tip of his tongue, spat a mouthful of blood on the blade, then consecutively cast several spells and talismans, only then managed to suppress them, preventing them from falling into the enemy's hands.
He couldn't understand.
Even if he wasn't the champion leader of swordsmanship in this land, he definitely wouldn't rank below the top three.
But why...
Why does it take nearly all his strength to control his own Lifebound Flying Sword!
Situ Ting's eyes were like torches, staring intensely at the figure ahead, extremely manipulating the flying sword while the surrounding power of laws intertwined.
Daoist Venerable!
He suddenly realized.
Although the other's realm was far from Daoist Venerable.
Yet his understanding of Sword Dao.
Has already reached the pinnacle of the Human World, thus triggering the power of laws that nobody could contend with.
No wonder...
No wonder he had struggled for so many years in swordsmanship without breakthrough!
It turns out a Sword Venerable exists in the Human World!
Only if he dies, can he take another step forward!
Thinking this, coupled with the hatred of his junior brother's death, Situ Ting crazily consumed the True Yuan within his body, transforming it into endless mana, while wielding his dual swords, he drove the Mountain Protection Array, like a madman, unleashing storm-like attacks towards the front.
Lord Taishan continued ascending.
Under the pressure of the Great Formation, every difficult step forward caused a dense tide of flying swords to advance, colliding and melting with countless mountain seals.
But...
Flying swords are finite, while those seals, appear truly endless like the stars in the sky!
As time passed.
The Milky Way formed by the flying swords gradually dried up, while the brilliance of the Nine Heavens Jun Tian Mountain River Seal became increasingly dazzling.
Mu Chutai's steps grew heavier and slower.
He finally couldn't maintain his composure; his clothes ripped under the terrifying pressure, black hair fluttered wildly in the wind, more blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
Just then.
An ancient and deep voice spoke from the depths of the Kunxu Saint Sect.
"Mu Chutai, you truly amaze me; even with a wasted spirit root, you manage to open up a new path, you are indeed the brightest star of all Heavenly Water."
"Had I known this, I would have taken you as a disciple and taught you well, perhaps today's situation wouldn't have happened."
"Screw you, you old hag!"
Mu Chutai responded with crude words that cannot be heard.
"…
"Stop now, I'll give you one last chance, bring Jiang Xiyue and Chen Lei to me, and I will try to save your daughter's life, and let you reunite with Nangong Qingyao."
"Haha, hahaha!"
Mu Chutai laughed wildly against the formation's pressure: "Old Geezer Xuanye, are you begging me? If you are, then come out and bow, show your sincerity!"
"No salvation~"
In the sky, there seemed to be a sigh, then the ancient voice dissipated completely.
Replacing it.
Was an even stronger Mountain Protection Array.
"Mu Chutai!
"Die!"
Situ Ting saw the opponent's aura fading more, his dual swords absorbed several seals, then joined together, descending from the sky, attempting a fatal strike.
"Rumble——"
Mu Chutai could no longer lift his steps, holding a seal in both hands, as if bearing the weight of a mountain range, from the depths of his sunken eyes, a burning, reckless, frantic glare erupted, the deep-seated frustration and unwillingness within the depths of his chest finally erupted like a volcano dormant for ages, transforming into a hoarse but earth-shattering roar:
"Tai——A——"
Taia!
