Lu Sheng's expression turned strange as well.
"Explanation?"
He gripped the Earth Lake Sword tightly. The halo of the blue ocean behind him grew thicker. The Sea-overturning Orb slowly rose from the ocean behind him.
Countless blue lights boiled and trembled violently. Lu Sheng gripped his sword with both hands. His eyes shone with piercing blue light.
"Boom!"
The Earth Lake Sword suddenly turned into an afterimage. In an instant, it seemed to have split into hundreds and thousands of sword shadows. They circled around Lu Sheng, then merged into one and slashed downward.
"Divine Might!"
The sword radiance turned into blue lightning and crashed down.
"This is my explanation! If you can't take it, then die! "Lu Sheng laughed maniacally.
"Holy Spirit!"
The Vital Energy Sect's sect master gripped his sword with both hands as well. His expression was solemn. The crescent moon between his brows shone with white radiance. The white radiance wrapped around the blade in his hand like threads. A blurry pure white Qilin slowly appeared behind him.
"Heaven and Earth Righteous Art! Heaven and Earth Nine Revolutions! " His figure flashed, and he split into two. His two swords pointed forward at the same time. The tips of the swords collided, and a speck of gold instantly bloomed.
The golden radiance was extremely pure. It was like a lamp in a storm. It was like a bean that swayed and would not be extinguished. It released a golden halo that enveloped the surroundings.
"There's Morality in heaven and earth. It questions the heart, the will, the spirit, and … the invulnerability of all arts!" The Vital Energy Sect's sect master glared furiously. The supernatural power in his body boiled and burned.
At this moment, the crescent moon between his brows was like a third eye. A golden eye slowly opened.
"Pchht!"
Golden radiance shot out from the eye and struck the golden flame before him.
In an instant, it was as if everything in the world stopped at the same time.
"Rumble!"
A ring of invisible ripples erupted from the golden flame. "I, Lord Qing Yuanjun, have been in charge of the Taoist Sect for 1,362 years. From existence to nothing, I have a clear conscience!"
The Vital Energy Sect's sect master glared at Lu Sheng. His entire body's essence, Qi, and spirit were infused into this strike.
Within the halo of golden flames, a huge sword shadow suddenly pierced forward. It was sacred and grand. Its aura and golden radiance instantly filled the air and covered the entire blue ocean.
"The karma of heaven and earth is the cycle of the Great Dao. I follow the Heavenly Dao and end karma. Those who obstruct me are obstructing me from achieving the Dao!" Lu Sheng laughed maniacally. Similarly, he poured all of his supernatural power into the Earth Lake Sword. Even the Sea-overturning Orb's gravity was fully invested.
"Anyone who stands in my way will be consigned to eternal damnation! Die!! "
In an instant, the golden and blue sword lights finally collided in the sky.
There was no sound, no explosion.
There were only patches of pitch-black snowflakes that were like paper ash, fluttering and drifting down.
Wherever the sword light was, the gold and blue colors were consumed intensely.
The quality of the golden sword light was terrifyingly strong. It wantonly cut and collided with the blue sword light. However, there were too many blue sword lights. Although every blue sword shadow was extremely fragile, the heavy impact caused the golden sword light to dim bit by bit.
The golden and blue energies annihilated each other, and the remaining remains turned into pitch-black snowflakes that filled the sky.
A shapeless spherical distortion enveloped the core area where the two of them fought. The other cultivators around them, including Liu Sicheng, could only watch from afar. They were powerless to do anything.
This battle would decide the fate of the Vital Energy Sect for the next few centuries. Regardless of who won, the structure of the central plains and the overseas region would be greatly affected.
"Sect master …" Liu Sicheng felt a lump in his throat. After the battle of suppressing the Ancient Devil, the sect master's cultivation base was damaged, and he was gravely injured. He had yet to fully recover. Now, he had to face a terrifying enemy like the Four Seas Sect's master head-on.
The sect master's final roar gave him an ominous feeling. However, he dared not think too deeply about it.
"Don't worry. The sect master is the greatest expert in the central plains. He has suppressed the Devil Path for thousands of years and is unrivaled. He'll definitely be fine!" The First Peak Master comforted him softly.
"That's right. The sect master possesses a myriad of skills and peerless skill formulas. In addition to the Divine Sword in his hand, he'll definitely be fine." The rest of the Peak Lords voiced out one after another. However, all of them faintly recalled the Sect Master's furious roar in their hearts at the same time.
None of them had expected that the Four Seas Sect's master, whom no one had paid any attention to back then, would force the Vital Energy Sect into such an awkward situation.
The two Kings fought each other. The moment they met, they fell into a stalemate of life and death. The powerful repercussions of the battle caused even the True Lords and Godly Lords like them to not have the right to interfere.
Amidst the rumbling, thunderous noises continued to reverberate in the skies.
Lu Sheng and the Vital Energy Sect's sect master had exchanged countless blows within the two-colored light sphere in the middle.
Currently, the two of them had an almost limitless amount of Nascent Qi supporting them. They were evenly matched in every aspect. The only thing they could compete on was their willpower.
Vaguely, Lu Sheng felt that something was amiss. Beneath the Vital Energy Sect's sect master's powerful aura, there seemed to be some weak Death Qi hidden.
He had lost count of the number of times he had swung his sword. Under the impetus of the limitless Nascent Qi, all Primal Qi within the two-colored light sphere was isolated by the two types of Nascent Qi. There was no natural destruction. The only thing that happened was the frantic consumption of their supernatural power.
The Vital Energy Sect's sect master swung his sword in a frenzy as well. His sword techniques seemed to be instinctive. He used them without even thinking. His sword art had already reached the Grandmaster Tier. He had returned to his natural state, and was at the level of instinct.
In this aspect, he was much stronger than Lu Sheng. If not for this, Lu Sheng would have long since won by relying on the gradual advantage of the consumption of supernatural power.
It would not be like what was happening right now.
"Pfft!"
Lu Sheng grabbed the golden sword that was stabbed into his right chest. With a ferocious grin, he slashed the Vital Energy Sect's sect master's left shoulder.
"Are you fighting me to the death?" He licked his lips. His gaze turned cold.
The Vital Energy Sect's sect master said nothing. His body was almost drenched in blood. His body was far from being as strong as Lu Sheng's. Large amounts of blood were squeezed by the violent flow of supernatural power, and seeped out of his pores.
His lifespan evaporated along with the blood. He relied on the Divine Sword's might and the Spiritual Power accumulated in the Imperial Spirit Pool for a thousand years to obtain his current vast Nascent Qi supernatural power. However, this was not without a price.
"Fool!" Lu Sheng took a step forward. The blue sword gleam transformed into a thin line and slashed toward the side of the sect master's head. However, it was parried by the golden sword.
"Clang!"
Countless black snowflakes scattered again.
The Vital Energy Sect's sect master was speechless. Golden flames ignited all over his body, and he charged toward Lu Sheng. The Divine Sword in his hand transformed into thousands of sword gleams that blotted out the skies and the earth.
Lu Sheng also unleashed the Infinite Spirit Massacre. Thousands of blue sword gleams met the golden sword gleams with equal harshness.
Neither of them took half a step back. Under such circumstances, whoever retreated would die! Two unimaginably huge surges of Nascent Qi of Dharma power had completely intertwined with each other. Both of them had been forced to exert their full strength. Once one of them relaxed and became weak, it would be like a dam collapsing. The weaker party would instantly die without a complete corpse, disintegrated and destroyed by the terrifying torrent of Dharma power.
Time passed slowly. The black snowflakes increased in number and density.
Almost all of the Vital Energy Sect's disciples were evacuated from the Swaying Gold Mountain by the other True Lords. Now that the seawater was frozen, it was the best time to evacuate.
In midair, the Vital Energy Sect's sect master was using everything he had to hold back Lu Sheng so that he would not be caught in the crossfire and destroy the Vital Energy Sect's foundation.
Liu 'er did not expect the situation to develop to this extent. Without Lu Sheng by her side, she could not fight back against the many True Lords of the Vital Energy Sect alone. She could only wait for the outcome of the battle.
The sun set in the west and rose slowly. Night fell and disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, four days and nights had passed.
The black snowflakes in the sky were decreasing.
Only the seven Peak Masters and Liu 'er were left on the Swaying Gold Mountain. The others had been relocated and settled down.
Finally, the sky was nearing dusk.
The bright ball of light in the sky finally cracked open.
"Pccht!"
Two silhouettes fell with a loud bang. They crashed heavily onto the ground like comets.
"Boom!"
Smoke and dust flew everywhere. Mud and rocks flew everywhere. Soon enough, a huge crater with a diameter of a hundred meters appeared at the foot of the Swaying Gold Mountain's Seventh Peak.
"Sect master!"
"Sect master!"
Liu Sicheng and the other True Lords and Liu 'er hastily dove toward the huge crater.
However, before they could get close, they were stopped by a scorching, invisible resistance. They could not get any closer.
The Vital Energy Sect's sect master was covered in blood. He lay on the wall of the crater with his back straight. The eye of the moon mark on his forehead was already closed. Golden liquid seeped out slowly. It was clear that he was powerless to use it.
His limbs, torso, head, and neck were covered in wounds that were deep enough to reveal his bones. He was like a puppet that was about to be torn apart. He was in a terrible state.
The most shocking thing was the aura of death in his eyes. It was the aura of death that only an old man at the end of his life would have.
"Sect master!" Liu Sicheng shouted. He could not help but feel a sense of sorrow in his heart.
The other Peak Masters were silent. Sorrow and helplessness flashed across their eyes.
At this moment, on the other side, Liu 'er cried out in surprise as well. She stared at Lu Sheng who was on the other side with a horrified look in her eyes.
There was a bloody hole the size of a fist on Lu Sheng's chest. One of his eyes was a bloody hole without an eyeball. His right arm was nowhere to be seen as well. A small part of his left leg was missing. There was a palm-sized slit on his scalp. Through the slit, one could see the squirming brain matter inside.
"Hahahaha!" Lu Sheng sat on the ground as well. He had no strength to stand up.
"It's been a long time since I've fought to my heart's content! Damn old man, you were going to die anyway. I didn't expect you to trick me in the end. How unsatisfying! "He was indifferent to the wounds on his body. However, he was filled with admiration for the Vital Energy Sect's sect master.
When he said this, the people from the Vital Energy Sect glared at him furiously. However, due to the invisible resistance, they could not move forward.
The Vital Energy Sect's sect master's eyes were filled with the aura of death. He rolled his eyes stiffly. He was at his limit. He had poured all of his essence, Qi, and spirit into the battle just now. It was his final effort to hold on until now.
"I thought that I could pave the way for the sect in my final moments …" He shook his head and smiled bitterly. He turned to look at the seven Peak Masters who were waiting outside. His gaze was calm and peaceful. After comforting them with his gaze, he looked at Lu Sheng again.
"Sect Master, may I ask if the karma between us has been settled?"
The smile on Lu Sheng's face gradually faded. He stared at the Vital Energy Sect's sect master as well.
"You're quite thoughtful, old man."
