It was said that Chen Chang Sheng was a cultivation genius. After many things had happened in the past two years, this conclusion had been publicly acknowledged by the entire continent. But in truth, many people did not know which aspect was his strongest. Was it the quantity of true essence or the ability to perceive? Of course, being able to read through the Daoist Canon was a very impressive thing, but between the accumulation of knowledge and the ability to fight, some specific methods were needed as a bridge.
Only after sending Su Li back ten thousand li to the south, the several dozen sword battles in front of the Orthodox Academy, and the battle on the Bridge of Helplessness — these three major events — did the people gradually confirm that Chen Changsheng's strongest aspect was his sword.
This caused many people, especially the priests of the Orthodoxy, to feel somewhat surprised and even faintly uneasy.
The Orthodoxy naturally also had sword styles, such as the True Sword of the Orthodoxy, the Heavenly Dao Academy's Sword of Hithering Light, or the temple sword of the Southern Department, but the Orthodoxy's resources were even more reflected in other aspects. As the successor to the Pope, what Chen Changsheng was most skilled in was not the Divine Arts of the Orthodoxy, nor was it the Daoist techniques of the Daoist Canon, but the sword techniques of Mount Li …
Zhou Tong saw Chen Changsheng even more clearly. He knew that Chen Changsheng's strength lay not only in his talent in the way of the sword, but also in his sword itself.
He vaguely knew that Chen Changsheng had had a fortuitous encounter in the Sword Pool of the Garden of Zhou. He had attempted to send people to find where those famed swords had been hidden, but after more than a year had passed, the spies of the Department for Purging Officials who had spread throughout the world had ultimately only found one sword in the latrine of the Orthodox Academy. The other famed swords had all disappeared without a trace, causing him to be very vigilant.
What he was even more wary of was the sword placed in front of him, the sword that Chen Chang Sheng was currently holding in his hand.
The Stainless Sword was the newest divine weapon on the Tier of Legendary Weapons.
There was nothing special about this dagger, other than its sharpness.
However, just as the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had said, anything that was unleashed to the extreme would be especially terrifying.
This dagger was far too sharp. It could easily pierce through the divine artifact of the Tianhai clan — the Six Protections Divine Armor.
Although Zhou Tong was a powerful expert at the peak of Star Condensation, his body as tough as steel, he did not dare to test the sword with his body.
Moreover, he didn't want Chen Chang Sheng to fully display his sword cultivation.
Therefore, the moment he saw Chen Chang Sheng raise his head in the room, he had already decided on how to deal with him.
He spread out his Star Domain of Blood Sea and waited for Chen Chang Sheng to break it with his sword. He used an extremely risky and consuming method to forcefully leave his own world and hold the Blood Sea in his hand.
Chen Chang Sheng's sword was in the sea of blood, held in his hand, tightly controlled by the pressure.
No matter how sharp that sword was, it could not touch his body and soul. No matter how profound Chen Changsheng's sword path was, there was no room for it to be used.
At this point, Chen Chang Sheng's Intellectual Swords all fell into the air, and then fell into his calculation.
Feeling the boundless power from the edge of the sword, feeling the bloody and terrifying pressure, Chen Chang Sheng's face became abnormally pale as he raised his eyes to look at the crimson official's robe dancing in the air of the room.
The Intellectual Sword that had been unsheathed at the Plum Garden Inn had consumed too much of his Psyche Power and obsession.
This was the first time since he started learning swordsmanship in the Wilderness that his Intellectual Sword was completely ineffective.
His sword was in the hands of a powerful enemy, and his sword dao was stuck in the sea of blood, unable to be used.
His face paled, perhaps because he had lost too much of his Psyche Power, or because he had lost his confidence.
The Stainless Sword had been infected by the sea of blood and was no longer as bright as before, making it impossible for him to continue using his own sword technique. However, he still had a sword technique that he could use without needing to move.
His spiritual sense fell on the snowy plains outside his Ethereal Palace. The snowflakes condensed from star radiance madly danced in the air and then instantly ignited. In an extremely short period of time, they exploded with boundless light and heat.
A powerful Qi and a seemingly tangible flame exploded from the edge of the sword, attempting to break through the foul ball of blood in Zhou Tong's palm.
A loud boom resounded! A gale howled through the room. Countless rays of light burst out from Zhou Tong's fingers, making it seem like the bones of his fingers could be seen!
The Pearl of Blood Sea wrapped around the dagger trembled uneasily, its surface fiercely heaving up and down. From time to time, a few drops of blood would fly out. When the blood landed on the ground, it would corrode the hard stone floor and hiss!
Zhou Tong's expression turned solemn. He knew that Chen Changsheng had a sword technique that could greatly increase the output of true essence, but he had not expected that this sword would be so berserk!
A harsh howl once more burst out from his thin and stern lips. The night wind howled in from outside the room, causing his crimson official's gown to flap in the wind. An extremely callous and powerful Qi appeared!
As his crimson official's gown madly danced, Zhou Tong's figure seemed to grow several times larger, bursting through the back half of the room and transforming into a dharma idol ten-some zhang tall!
Chen Changsheng's sword madly surged with light and heat, sword intent and killing intent!
Countless bright rays of light and invisible sword intents shot out from Zhou Tong's fingers, cutting away countless pieces of stone from the walls of the room.
Yet his sword was still unable to truly break through Zhou Tong's palm, unable to escape from the pearl of blood formed from the Star Domain of Blood!
This was the unbridgeable gap between the peak of Star Condensation and the peak of Ethereal Opening. No matter how high Chen Changsheng's cultivation in the path of the sword was, no matter how sharp the Stainless Sword was, it still seemed to be helpless.
In front of Zhou Tong's dharma idol that seemed like a demon god, standing on the ground, Chen Changsheng seemed so insignificant, like an ant. The light and sword intent exuded by the sword in his hand seemed so dim in Zhou Tong's palm, like the light of a firefly that could be extinguished at any moment.
Would this assassination on this early autumn night end just like this? Chen Changsheng's approach to death to live would ultimately still be helplessly welcoming death?
No, although it was just the light of a firefly, as long as there were enough of it, it could still illuminate the night, until it finally set the plains ablaze, even the heavens aflame. The Blazing Sword that Su Li had taught him was drawn from the Secret Sword of the Golden Crow and used the energy of the Burning Heaven Sword. However, its true energy came from the final move of the Mount Li Sword Style. The special characteristic of that sword was … disregarding life!
When Chen Changsheng came today to kill Zhou Tong, he had never thought that he would be able to return alive. He was truly approaching death to live, and he had long ago cast aside life and death.
He knew that he was about to die, so he was naturally more disregarding life than anyone else.
If there really was a so-called Heavenly Dao in the starry sky, then it should be able to sense his current mood. If there really was a so-called fate in the starry sky, then his fate was still in his hands.
Suddenly, another extremely small firefly appeared, right on his wrist.
This firefly grew brighter and brighter, until it became a star.
Soon after, many more similar lights appeared on his body, as if stars were being lit up one after another.
The places where these stars appeared were all his Qi openings.
In Mount Han, he had once done something similar. At the time, he had almost died. But in any case, he was already going to die. He had always been prepared to die, so how could he care about these things?
He had long since made his preparations to once more light up those Qi openings in this courtyard filled with crabapple blossoms, allowing the sea of stars to once more descend upon his body!
Star radiance descended from the sky, noiselessly passing through the dilapidated house and falling upon his body, causing those stars on his body to grow even brighter.
Countless stars were faintly discernible in the sleeves of his clothes, connecting into lines, connecting into sheets, transforming into a star chart, condensing into … a Star Domain!
After Mount Han, Chen Changsheng had once more condensed his star!
Zhou Tong's expression subtly changed.
He knew that in Mount Han, Chen Changsheng had been heavily injured precisely because he had attempted to condense his star, but he had never expected that at this moment, Chen Changsheng would once more attempt to condense his star, and that he would actually succeed!
The starlight retreated into Chen Changsheng's body, but his Qi did not drop. On the contrary, it suddenly rose, blocking the pressure of the sea of blood. The light and heat bursting from the edge of the sword seemed to want to incinerate the sphere of blood in Zhou Tong's palm, and those sword intents were already beginning to show signs of piercing through the sphere of blood!
Zhou Tong's complexion paled, the hairband of his black hair snapped and madly danced in the night wind. His Qi rose once more, and he forcefully grasped those sword intents in his hand!
As long as Chen Changsheng's Stainless Sword could not break through his Star Domain of Blood, there was no possibility of him losing this battle!
If the battle continued like this, with Chen Changsheng's sword restrained and unable to increase its edge, it truly was impossible for him to break through Zhou Tong's sea of blood.
Even if he succeeded in condensing his star, he was still only at the initial level of Star Condensation, still very far from the peak of Star Condensation.
But just because he could not move the Stainless Sword did not mean that he could not attack, because the sheath of the sword known as the Vault Sheath still concealed countless swords.
With a swish, the space in the room seemed to be cut open. Ten-some clear sword slashes appeared on the trunk of the crabapple tree outside the room!
An ancient sword flew out from the sheath in his hand. Following the blade of the Stainless Sword, it stabbed into the sea of blood in Zhou Tong's palm!
This sword was called the Yue Maiden Sword, the famed sword that Mo Yu had wanted from him but was unable to obtain. This sword had once slumbered in the sea of grass in the Garden of Zhou for several centuries. It had long since rusted and no longer possessed its intimidating luster of the past, but after two years of nourishment in the Vault Sheath, it had already regained its former edge!
With a whoosh, the Yue Maiden Sword stabbed into the sea of blood!
Soon after, countless swords flew out from the sheath, charging wave after wave at the sea of blood!
Over the centuries, the Sword Pool of the Garden of Zhou had buried more than ten thousand famed swords. Only when Chen Changsheng brought the Yellow Paper Umbrella to the plains did these swords awaken. Together with Chen Changsheng, they battled the monster tide, broke the Soul Pivot of the Mausoleum of Zhou, and then held up the vault of heaven. Finally, they left the Garden of Zhou with him, returning to the world they had left a long time ago.
Many famed swords returned to their former sects and sects, like the temple sword, or the Sword of Spiritual Light. Some swords encountered lucky chances, like the Mountain Sea Sword and the Demon Commander's Banner Sword. Many swords were hidden in various corners of the Orthodox Academy by a certain person, and many swords had always remained by Chen Changsheng's side. There were at least six thousand of them.
As comrades and comrades, today, Chen Changsheng was about to challenge the most powerful and terrifying enemy of his life. In the face of this most difficult and dangerous situation, how could they be willing to fall behind?
The swords all left their sheaths and rushed forward, striving to outdo each other!
For a moment, the entire courtyard was suffused with an awe-inspiring sword intent!
Let alone the crabapple trees, even the hard stone tiles were marked with countless perfectly straight sword slashes!
Cheng Jun shrieked in fear. His cultivation suddenly rose, his two palms shielding his body like two iron plates as he fled to the back of the house.
