Chapter 1229 Yuanshi Splits the Heavens, I Judge Yin and Yang
The grand formation of the Zhuxian Sword Array unfurled, the four divine swords swirling and changing. However, it wasn't fully deployed. The Daoist's sword fingers on his right hand were slightly raised, the aura of sharpness flowing and changing there, yet not fully unleashed, concealing its edge. Two strands of black hair hung down from his temples, swaying slightly. "You just finished fighting H浑天."
"Do you need time to adjust your breathing and recover your Qi?"
Suddenly, the two Emperors felt their scalps tingle.
In these past few thousand years of the Qingqi world, how did another such insane youngster appear?
"Adjust my breathing?"
"Fighting you doesn't require adjusting my breathing."
The World-Ending Great Lord's lips curled up slightly as he reached out and grabbed the cloak on his back. He exerted force with his palm, and the entire cloak suddenly burst into a raging flame, as if raising a torch to incinerate everything in the world. Then, he flung it forward, and in the void, it scattered violently, transforming into an even more turbulent and roaring blaze.
Wei Yuan's sword fingers came together, and he slashed slightly forward.
The Zhuxian Sword Array's flow ultimately transformed into an extremely turbulent torrent of sword Qi. It directly engulfed the flames that were spreading along the sword Qi, and then swallowed the entire sword Qi. The World-Ending Great Lord had already approached, his right hand clenched into a fist, and he smashed it fiercely towards Wei Yuan's forehead.
It was as if the entire world began to rotate around this as its core.
All the heavens and myriad realms, the myriad phenomena, were in his palm, all rotating wildly with his fist as the central point.
Thus, yin and yang were inverted, and all things lost their original order. All colors faded, and sounds ceased to exist, as if representing true destruction and the end of all things. Wei Yuan's expression remained unchanged as another sword appeared in his hand, a sword symbolizing the vast and boundless power of the heavens, named Qingping.
Wei Yuan slashed the sword in his palm towards the World-Ending Great Lord in an extremely profound and fierce manner.
The World-Ending Great Lord's expression remained unchanged as he raised his hand and forcefully unleashed a punch, countless layers of Yuan Qi compressed together, slamming heavily onto the blade of Wei Yuan's Qingping sword almost instantly. A violent aura exploded in the next moment, and then, as if a ten-thousand-pound boulder had crashed into the ocean, the shockwaves gathered into ripples, violently erupting in all directions.
The two Emperors, Shu and Hu, wanted to look forward, but faced with such a battle, their expressions changed drastically, and they had to retreat.
On the other side, the World-Ending Fire God, Huo Zhuo, and the World-Ending God of Order also retreated violently.
Although the two sides were not far apart at this moment, neither had the intention to attack. Everyone's attention was focused on the two figures who were exchanging blows at a speed almost impossible to capture with the naked eye, and with an incredibly violent aura. Every exchange of fists and swords seemed to be in harmony with the most fundamental Great Dao.
This was the purest collision of moves!
Boom!
The fist and the sword collided again. The Qingping Sword seemed to be unable to bear the weight, and it emitted a series of ear-piercing howls. Wei Yuan held the Qingping Sword in his right hand, and his left hand formed a sword finger, sweeping it violently. The remaining three swords howled in unison, and then, with completely different directions of rotation, they formed a sword array and attacked the World-Ending Great Lord.
Therefore, establishing the Dao of Heaven is called Yin and Yang; establishing the Dao of Earth is called softness and strength; establishing the Dao of Humanity is called benevolence and righteousness.
Combining the three powers in pairs, hence the six lines form a hexagram.
Zhuxian Sword Array - Transformation into the Three Powers (Heaven, Earth, and Humanity).
The sword Qi instantly became filled with a sense of order that was difficult to describe.
The World-Ending Great Lord stood amidst the tearing of countless sword Qi, his sleeves fluttering, smashing the power erupted by the sword Qi with punch after punch. It seemed that even this fully deployed Zhuxian Sword Array was not his opponent. Not only was it not his opponent, it was even extremely difficult to stop him.
One punch landed, and sword Qi flew.
But then countless sword Qi converged, reforming the sword array.
Moreover, the black-haired Daoist came with his sword, each move fierce.
However, the World-Ending Great Lord seemed not to care at all.
This Zhuxian Sword Array, which was enough to suppress and kill experts at the Dao Fruit level, was as if just another achievement he had obtained today.
Just the harvest he had gained after defeating Huntian today.
The sword howled, its Qi sharp, making it completely impossible to approach. However, the World-Ending Great Lord's voice was still calm, without his past arrogance, without his former unbridled boasting. However, this calmness instead gave him a sense of profoundness, like a divine sword that had experienced a calm and unhurried sharpness.
"The Dao of Heaven, the Dao of Earth, I didn't expect you to actually put humanity into it."
"But what's even more wonderful is that these three forces, which were originally not one, can now achieve balance in your sword array, operating without end. It can be called a masterpiece. If it were the me from before, I might have really lost in this move, suffering from this sword."
"Finally…finally returned."
Such grace, such bearing, that was the World-Ending Great Lord he knew!
The strongest!
The overlord, the hero, the unparalleled leader of the World-Ending side.
After a long absence, the World-Ending Fire God, Huo Zhuo, raised his arm, lowered his head slightly, and murmured to himself:
"Your subordinate, Huo Zhuo, respectfully welcomes the Great Lord's return."
"We…have waited for far too long."
However, the two Emperors, Shu and Hu, whose white hair hung down and whose brows were marked with vermilion, had very unsightly expressions. Their eyes were fixed on the front, staring unblinkingly at the place where Wei Yuan and the World-Ending Great Lord were fighting. They watched the two of them constantly colliding, the Yuan Qi they stirred up like waves. However, through this earth-shattering exterior, the two Emperors also saw the 'things' beneath the Yuan Qi.
"The aura of the World-Ending Great Lord is still rising…"
Emperor Hu's words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
Emperor Shu's expression was equally unsightly.
They were friends of Huntian and understood very well what this feeling was.
Breaking through the inner demon, with no more worries, looking around, all are no match for me. Therefore, he could be calm and unhurried, and therefore, even more slow and indifferent. This was the state of mind of a true peerless expert. Moreover, with the gradual completion of this state of mind, the aura of the World-Ending Great Lord began to change strangely, faintly showing signs of transcendence.
He was breaking through!
The inner demon that had trapped him for who knows how many years was naturally a calamity. Beneath that insurmountable figure, his own boundaries seemed to have been nailed down, impossible to cross, impossible to surpass. However, when this inner demon was finally broken and he finally walked out, he could feel the vastness of the heavens and the earth, with no more obstacles.
This was the arrogance of the strongest, the calm demeanor of an overlord and hero.
The longer and more severe he had been trapped by the inner demon before,
The faster, more vast, and more satisfying the epiphany after breaking through the inner demon.
However, what moved the two Emperors Shu and Hu the most was that the World-Ending Great Lord, instead of becoming arrogant and conceited because he had broken through the inner demon and had no more obstacles, had become even more peaceful and calm, like a true master who had experienced his state of mind. That was truly the demeanor of a calm, unhurried master.
Emperor Hu couldn't help but grit his teeth and murmur, "...Is he going to achieve it?"
Emperor Shu stared intently at the two who were fighting.
He couldn't help but take half a step forward, about to shout out, but was grabbed by Emperor Hu, who said, "What are you doing?!"
Emperor Shu, who was now in the form of a handsome black-haired youth, said impatiently, "What else can I do?"
"Can't you see?!"
"Of course, it's to stop that kid immediately!"
He stared intently at the profound yet powerful Zhuxian Sword Array. He could see that the sword array was so powerful that it could allow him to restrain several times his own level of experts with his own strength, and even kill Dao Fruit level opponents on the spot.
But at this moment, the more powerful the force, the more it could temper the edge of the World-Ending Great Lord.
The more immeasurable the mystery, the more it would help his calm, peak state of mind!
The more it would help the World-Ending Great Lord walk out of the place that had trapped him for tens of thousands of years, allowing him to step towards transcendence step by step. And now, Huntian was no more. Who else could restrain him?
Emperor Shu couldn't help but say, "Can't you see?!"
"That guy is relying on that kid's sword array to temper himself. He's directly treating that kid as a stepping stone and a whetstone! Although I don't know how that black-haired brat did it, swallowing the origin of the Yin Yang Great Tribulation into his body, even a fool can guess."
"He can't possibly absorb and dissolve that power so quickly."
"He's forcing himself to barely fight the World-Ending Great Lord."
"Such a resolve is enough. Even Huntian would definitely not let him fight the World-Ending Great Lord desperately for his own revenge, let alone with such a resolve, only to end up helping the World-Ending Great Lord take that step. Do you think that's even more frustrating?!"
After Emperor Shu finished speaking, regardless of Emperor Hu's obstruction, he clenched his right hand and used the power of Transformation.
His body suddenly became incomparably huge, seemingly touching the sky with his head and stepping on the earth with his feet.
It was the power of Transformation, briefly transforming into the body of Buzhou Mountain, which supported the heavens and propped up the earth. Then, regardless of whether he would be injured, he was about to reach out his huge hand to separate the two sides who were fighting. But at this moment, in the void, another wave of heat rose up.
"Shu, stop for me!!!"
"Today, you are absolutely not allowed to disturb the Great Lord!"
Black and red flames transformed into chains as if they were materialized.
The huge chains directly locked Emperor Shu's limbs, neck, and waist.
The incomparably scorching high temperature instantly expanded to a degree many times hotter than the core of the sun. Emperor Shu roared angrily, reaching out his hand to grab the chains, "Don't block my way, get out!!!"
Emperor Hu sighed, looking at the World-Ending Order beside him.
He touched his nose and said, "It seems impossible for me to say I won't fight now, right?"
However, when Emperor Hu raised his head and glanced at the Zhuxian Sword Array, he saw that the sword array had been completely unfolded. It was indeed a magnificent and vast sight, but the World-Ending Great Lord walked within it, still calm and composed, his aura constantly settling down. Every punch was closer to an invincible aura than the last, closer to the meaning of transcendence.
It was as if the Zhuxian Sword Array in front of him was not a deadly move to kill him.
It was just a gift to congratulate him on stepping into a higher realm.
The World-Ending Great Lord's voice was calm and peaceful.
"Today, I will use your sword array to prove that I am already invincible on the road ahead."
"For you and for me, this can be considered without regrets."
Then, Wei Yuan said something that stunned the two Emperors Shu and Hu: "This sword array is called Zhuxian. The sword is drawn to be stained with blood. Today, you are the first person to see the full picture of my sword array. Although three of the swords inside are not the most suitable, they can still be used. I really want to see how the current you is different from the past with blood."
"If you can't defeat me, how can you be called so-called invincible?"
"We have exchanged blows for a cup of tea, I have not killed you, and you have not broken the formation."
The World-Ending Great Lord said flatly, "I'll wait and see."
He raised his hand, as if inviting the Daoist in front of him to draw his sword, but at the same time, an even more overwhelming force erupted, attacking Wei Yuan in front of him. But at this moment, Wei Yuan loosened his right hand, and the sword in his hand fell down--
The Heavenly Sword, Qingping.
The Earthly Sword, Samsara.
The Human Dao Sword, Xuanyuan.
And the final Abandoned Dao Sword.
The four great elements within the realm, flowing endlessly, like the primordial chaos of all things, in an era where even time did not exist.
The two Emperors Shu and Hu almost simultaneously blurted out, "If it's only like this, it's ultimately just picking up on the wisdom of others, what a pity."
He was not pretending, but really felt regret and pity. Then, calmly, he shook his sleeves, threw a punch, and almost skillfully broke the Zhuxian Sword Array's once deadly move. But at this moment, the scattered sword Qi suddenly gathered, and Wei Yuan's temperament suddenly became distant and vast, his eyes seeming to reflect the vastness of all things.
The Yuanshi Heavenly Lord, without origin, without superior!
The primordial chaos of all things had not yet dissipated, transforming into sword Qi and filling this world. At this moment, it was completely stimulated, and even time seemed to slow down. Only the black-haired Daoist became taller and taller, more and more calm and magnificent, standing at the center of the world, as if he was even bigger than this world.
Then, sharpness was born.
I use the world as a scabbard, and the primordial chaos as a vessel to hold the sharpness.
Draw the sword!
Before this sword, all things had not yet been created, everything was the primordial chaos, time had no meaning, and all the heavens and myriad realms were just a worthless, meaningless piece of chaos.
After this sword, the myriad phenomena slowly unfolded, and then the sky, the earth, and the human world appeared.
Absolute truth split everything apart, giving meaning to everything with the primordial cause.
The sky collapsed, the earth was annihilated, and all things and all laws were given new meaning under this sword. This was no longer a pure sword technique, but an existence above all laws. The two Emperors Shu and Hu almost held their breath, and the battle with Huo Zhuo and the God of Order stopped at this moment.
The terror of this sword made them both subconsciously have an idea in their hearts.
Perhaps, perhaps this guy can really stop the World-Ending Great Lord from transcending.
"[Primordial Creation, I Judge Yin and Yang]."
