Capítulo 984: Chapter 65: Like an Ant Shaking a Giant Tree, The First Blade Reveals the Heroes

The various phenomena formed by the condensing Sword Qi were all smashed and shattered, dust filled the sky, fragments of wood flew everywhere, blocking the view.

However, each of these phenomena was full of spirituality, knowing how to adapt and change moves, and a few white dragons managed to evade the surging Sword Qi and rush towards Shi Caiming.

A blistering force surged from within him, engulfing these few white dragons, burning them to ashes.

This first round of skirmish was just probing, but in the contest of swordsmanship, Shi Caiming was at a disadvantage.

Not far away, Bai Chen’s gaze, as lifeless as withered wood, slightly brightened:

“You indeed have the qualifications for me to challenge your sword.”

The reason he asked Xu Jing not to intervene in this battle was not out of arrogance, but because Shi Caiming was also a swordsman, a formidable one at that!

A rare opportunity to challenge swords, Bai Chen was unwilling to miss it.

As his words fell, the longsword behind him let out a resonant sound, unsheathing itself and falling into his palm.

The Gouchen Sword Master gripped his own sword.

Shi Caiming’s usual casual demeanor vanished, and his expression turned solemn.

In the distance, a small hill suddenly shook violently, and the land at the top cracked open. A red Sword Light shot skyward like a volcanic eruption, carrying with it monstrous flames!

The nearby sky was instantly painted red, as a large amount of fire attribute Heaven and Earth Qi gathered toward it.

In the air, standing on azure clouds, Xu Jing frowned slightly.

Once, when Shi Caiming and he crossed paths, he hadn’t used his own sword.

Seeing the opponent’s sword ‘leave its sheath’ at this moment, he realized he had underestimated the strength of this Wu’an University principal!

A Fire Dragon descended from the sky, landing in Shi Caiming’s hand, transforming into blazing flames, obscuring the sword’s body entirely.

Intense and overflowing Sword Intent pervaded between heaven and earth, turning this Exotic Beast Breeding Area into a furnace!

“They say your failure to Breakthrough back then damaged your Life Origin, leaving you to wither away on a lonely mountain, clinging to life.”

Bai Chen looked at the burning longsword in Shi Caiming’s hand, revealing an excited expression.

He already sensed many people rapidly approaching, all of them experts within Wu’an University, including Qin Zhen, the Martial Arts Master.

Yet he didn’t care, he looked at Shi Caiming and spoke:

“To think you could find another path, making a breakthrough in Sword Dao. You nurtured your intent for twenty years, let’s hope your sword doesn’t disappoint me!”

Over thirty years ago, Shi Caiming had been a Four Divine Skills Martial Arts Master, renowned throughout Feng Province.

He clearly understood his situation, choosing not to continue refining Divine Skills in pursuit of greater combat power, but decisively opting for a Breakthrough to become a Great Grandmaster.

It was tough for a Three Divine Skills Grandmaster to break into the Divine Derivation Realm, but the odds were higher for those with Four Divine Skills.

Unfortunately, Shi Caiming encountered a problem during his Breakthrough, failing and damaging his Life Origin.

This is why, despite being a Great Grandmaster, he appeared so aged.

Shi Caiming’s issue was different from other Martial Artists injuring their implants; his Life Origin was damaged, making further Breakthroughs impossible, so Hao Yi’s revised “Five Phases Reversal Technique” was ineffective for him.

Unless he possessed a Myriad Blood Pearl to continuously enhance his Life Force, or consumed some heavenly treasure capable of defying fate, his problem was unsolvable.

For the past twenty years, he mostly stayed atop this small mountain in Wuda, and others assumed it was due to severe injuries, barely clinging to life.

Yet at this moment, Bai Chen uncovered the truth with a single remark:

Shi Caiming had spent twenty years nurturing Sword Intent.

There was no hope for him to make another Breakthrough in Martial Arts, but there was hope in Sword Dao!

Shi Caiming didn’t respond to Bai Chen, he simply took a step forward, sword in hand and initiated an attack.

The distance of a hundred meters vanished in an instant, the sound of breaking through the air hadn’t yet resounded, and Shi Caiming’s longsword had already arrived.

Burning with flames, the terrifyingly hot blade slashed from top to bottom, a simple downward chop.

Bai Chen similarly raised his arm casually, holding his sword horizontally in front of him.

The moves from these two Sword Dao Grandmasters seemed devoid of any complex variations or profound techniques, just the simplest cross and vertical slash. Check latest chapters at NovєlFіre.net

In the instant their swords collided, two vast powers nearly burst forth from their bodies simultaneously.

In the forest below, half was a sea of fire, the other half a white cloud sea, enveloping kilometers around.

Then, the sea of fire and cloud sea fused together, red and white mixed.

Xu Jing gazed down, focusing intently, seeing the two figures at the center of the battlefield maintain the actions of slashing downward and blocking upward, though their forms seemed somewhat illusory.

In others’ eyes, the two seemed unmoving, but to Xu Jing, they were clashing at an extremely fast pace!

Columns of fire surged skyward, and the cloud sea evolved into various forms of palaces, only to be swiftly burned away by the flames.

The earth trembled repeatedly, with one large pit after another appearing in the ground.

“Creation Sword Skill!”

Xu Jing’s heart was chilled, his expression turned somewhat grim.

Bai Chen was using the “Heavenly Palace,” one of the twelve Creation Sword Skills from the Gouchen Sword Sect.

This Sword Master had already mastered this sword skill to the Creation Realm, and had integrated two Divine Skills into it, exhibiting immense power!

That Shi Caiming could contend with swordsmanship signified that his Sword Dao Cultivation also reached the Creation Realm!

Tao Power at the Xuanjing Realm level equated to more than half a Divine Skill; a Two Divine Skills Martial Arts Master who mastered Tao Power at this level had a chance to defeat a Three Divine Skills Martial Arts Master.

And Tao Power at the Creation Level wasn’t merely a Divine Skill but surpassed it!

After becoming a Great Grandmaster, it’s challenging for a Martial Artist to increase the number of Divine Skills constituting their Martial Arts Domain, even if, like Xu Jing, they can devour the Divine Skills of others, it would lead to an unstable foundation, ultimately not a righteous path.
