Stronger from Earth

Chapter 423 - 417: My Only Reliance Is the Sword

(Two-in-One Chapter)

This Unparalleled Sword Immortal is recognized as the foremost in Sword Dao by Earth Civilization. Alone with his sword, he has slaughtered and suppressed countless Demons and Ghosts, establishing a peerless reputation.

With a three-foot Qing Feng in hand, he can traverse the world unchallenged.

Together with many Immortals, the Demon Suppression True Monarch founded the Immortal Holy Land. Celestial Sword Mountain, as one of the three pillars of the Divine Land, owes half of its fame to him.

How could Wang Xuan not know the prowess of this Sword Dao peak figure? It is rumored that during the breach of the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm, the Demon Suppression True Monarch single-handedly battled two Venerables of the Ten Thousand Beasts Realm, equivalent to Immortals, and slew them on the spot.

Now, the young man before him, though appearing youthful, possesses combat power that is undoubtedly Demon Level.

Amidst the clanging sound, everyone saw Wang Xuan staggered back dozens of miles, holding a horizontal black Long Sword. Clearly, he had blocked that fatal blow.

The elegant young man, gentle as jade, summoned the Flying Sword into his hand with a beckoning gesture. He looked at the young man before him and slightly raised his eyebrows.

"You cultivate the sword?"

He spoke for the first time, his voice as cold as a frigid spring, clear as jade ringing, as decisive as a sharp sword; he appeared to be a shocking Immortal Sword himself!

Wang Xuan eased the numbness in his wrist. Facing the imprint of the Dragon Race Great Saint’s youth, he felt nothing unusual. After all, it was a Great Saint of the Demon Race, living on Earth Civilization, in the same camp as the Human Race, yet he lived worlds apart from him.

And Celestial Sword Mountain, one of the Divine Land’s three Holy Lands, was too renowned. Each disciple and grand-disciple of the Demon Suppression True Monarch had made a dramatically big name for themselves. The tales of these legends have been an integral part of every person raised on the Divine Land since childhood.

"I cultivate the sword and also train in martial arts." Wang Xuan focused all his attention on the young man before him, his Creation Magical Power stirring, supporting him in maintaining his peak state.

The young man shook his head, "Junior, you’ve learned much, and no matter how extraordinary your talent or abundant your energy, you can’t attain the peak in everything.

If you devoted all your efforts to one path, you might not still be at this Realm.

A Sword Cultivator is loyal to Sword Dao, trusts in the sword in their hand, and immerses in it passionately; only then can Sword Dao reach its ultimate limit.

Having practiced for many years, my reliance is solely on the sword."

After saying that, a gust of wind arose between heaven and earth. The gale comprised billions of Sword Qi; each Sword Qi was an inch-long, transparent miniature sword.

This was not because the young man had performed any Divine Techniques, but rather because, in his eyes as a human-form Immortal Sword, everything could be harmonized with the principles of the sword, transforming them invisibly.

Quietly, a Domain was formed, within which Sword Dao suppression pervades. Enemies could not exert even thirty percent of their full power and faced countless sword lights within the sword domain. It was easy to imagine how perilous the situation was.

Among Celestial Immortals, very few could cultivate their own Domain. Even True Immortals who have found their own path may not accomplish such a feat.

The difficulty is indescribably high.

Achieving a Domain signifies that the cultivator thoroughly comprehends a particular path in cultivation and has charted their own course, promising a bright future ahead.

Such a person is already capable of founding a sect and establishing a lineage.

"A sword should be both fast and sharp. Young man, your sword, in my eyes, is far from pure." The young man’s voice was like a Divine Sword drawn from its sheath.

Clang!

In an instant, dozens of sword lights soared into the sky, intertwining into a Flood Dragon, rushing to annihilate Wang Xuan.

Each sword light was so sharp that Wang Xuan dared not let his Flesh Body touch it; otherwise, it would slice through like a flying blade through leather, easily cutting through.

Roar!

A Divine Elephant silhouette appeared, instantly enclosing Wang Xuan. The Flood Dragon’s sword light entwined around the Divine Elephant, and wherever it touched, large chunks of the Divine Elephant’s "flesh" fell away.

The sword lights were too sharp.

Wang Xuan never imagined that the sword of a Celestial Immortal could be so sharp and so fast. Compared to the young man, his sword appeared too slow and dull. Although his power was greater, it lacked focus.

With the same amount of Magical Power, perhaps this young man could slay a Celestial Immortal with little effort, while Wang Xuan could only repel the adversary.

"Sword, come!"

The Divine Elephant Golden Bell Shield was consumed entirely by the overwhelming sword light, and Wang Xuan shouted fiercely. Suddenly, a rift tore open in the sky, and a terrifyingly auraed Immortal Sword surged out.

The Void Sword Nurturing Secret Technique had been used by him in his battle against Zhao Hao. However, his cultivation level differs from the past, and the nurtured sword now possesses terrifying power.

The sword appeared, its speed reaching the limit. The energy fluctuations startled the Immortals, and its sharpness severed space.

Clang!

Amidst an explosive roar, the young man gracefully landed dozens of miles away, entirely unscathed himself.

That one sword, if it were resisted by a True Immortal, could split their body in two, yet the young man, with an ingeniously crafted Sword Technique, effortlessly neutralized it.

"That sword indeed qualifies, fast enough, sharp enough, but still lacks essence.

Young man, do you really understand the sword?

Or perhaps, there are few in the world who understand the sword; you are no exception. The sword in your hand is not a saber; do not simply rely on brute force to hack.

Sword Dao is the pinnacle of artistry: fast, ruthless, precise, sharp—compared to it, Saber Path is crude."

Wang Xuan’s expression turned grave; even if he could recover indefinitely, he would eventually wear out against the opponent.

With the same amount of Magical Power Sword Qi, an Unparalleled Sword Immortal’s would be an inch-long Titanium Steel Sword, while his would be a foot-long Stone Sword.

His Stone Sword, when striking an opponent, could send them flying several meters. In contrast, the inch-long Titanium Steel Sword, like a bullet, could easily take a life.

But suddenly, Wang Xuan laughed heartily, loudly saying, "As expected of the world’s only Unparalleled Sword Immortal, the Sword Dao domain you have traversed is far-reaching. It is well worth my learning."
