Chapter 197 Two Arms for One

This sword surpassed the limits of everyone's understanding. It practically couldn't even be considered a sword. Faced with such a strike, even Huo Zhuo and Zhi Xu, who had boundless confidence in the Turbid World Great Lord, hesitated and felt fear. They wondered if the Turbid World Great Lord could withstand this terrifying sword.

Their confidence in the Great Lord's invincibility wavered violently.

The Shu Hu Two Emperors suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.

But as they watched the sword fall and saw the ripples in the Turbid World Great Lord's eyes, his previous composure and detached indifference vanished. The energy around him surged violently, and he took a step forward, tearing at the sword.

This represented the final stage of the Law of All Things.

Strands of the law lit up, brilliantly and magnificently, almost blinding. Even the two Turbid World powerhouses at the Dao Fruit level, as well as Emperor Shu and Emperor Hu, felt a blur before their eyes. The intense collision of laws turned their vision a ghastly white, and they could only hear the endless roar of thunder.

They didn't know how much time had passed before the terrifying aura that seemed to herald the end of the world finally subsided.

They opened their eyes, their breaths catching in their throats. They saw that the sword, which had seemed capable of splitting chaos, had lost its previous brilliance. The remaining strands of law seemed frozen, still displaying their unique characteristics. Through these remnants, they could see the flow of all things: flames, thunder, violence, and the icy torrents of…

"It was blocked…"

The sound of everyone exhaling in unison.

But the Shu Hu Two Emperors sighed with regret and annoyance, while Huo Zhuo and Zhi Xu were overjoyed from the bottom of their hearts.

The Turbid World Great Lord's expression was grave, lacking his previous composure. The weapon formed by the fusion of Wei Yuan's four swords almost touched his throat, but layers of laws held it back, transforming it back into the original four divine weapons that fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Wei Yuan's right hand oozed blood.

It was the Tai Shang Hunyuan Imperishable Physique, but it was torn apart by the force of the impact. The Turbid World Great Lord was right in front of him, but the space between them was a chasm formed by countless dimensions, so vast that it could contain an entire starfield, even though it was only a step away.

The Turbid World Great Lord seemed to have crossed an incredibly long journey. He was still the existence, other than Hun Tian, that posed the greatest threat to him. But in the end, the enemy's strongest move had failed to defeat him, or even injure him—the surrounding strands of law were proof of that.

Those were the fundamental moves of the Turbid World Great Lord, which were cut open by the sword during his defense.

But even though they had been cleaved apart,

The remaining strands of law were still incredibly sharp, comparable to all divine weapons.

Even if Wei Yuan's sword could advance another step, these sharp strands of law would pierce Wei Yuan's body in the next moment. And now, without a doubt, this battle had come to an end. Emperor Shu gritted his teeth, and Emperor Hu was so angry that he was beside himself with frustration: "He still broke through his inner demons!!!"

… "Inner demons!"

The Turbid World Great Lord glanced sideways at the Shu Hu Two Emperors in the dreamland and suddenly smiled, saying calmly:

"Not inner demons."

"Just regret."

"Regret for not being able to see Hun Tian one more time with my own eyes."

He stretched out his hand. When he fought Hun Tian earlier, he had not used all his strength. He had even suppressed the upper limit of his power to the same level as Hun Tian's at the time. His purpose was not to defeat Hun Tian in this dream.

It was just to satisfy the regret in his heart.

To fight Hun Tian again.

At the same time, he had a strong premonition that Hun Tian was also waiting for him, waiting for a battle worthy of his status to serve as his end.

That was all. It was a mutual wish!

"As for the state of mind you mentioned, I have actually overcome it."

The Turbid World Great Lord spread out his hands, and an indescribable profound energy completed itself within him. Wei Yuan, who was locked by chains, felt it especially deeply because the height of this energy was second only to Hun Tian's. Wei Yuan looked at the chasm in front of him. His strongest move had already completely collapsed after breaking through the Turbid World Great Lord's defenses.

The Zhu Xian Four Swords Formation briefly lost its spirituality and was stunned by the terrifying backlash, unable to form a formation.

Wei Yuan was a swordsman, the most powerful swordsman. His life had been spent in battle, and he knew that this represented the end of the previous confrontation. He also knew that he was not a match for the Turbid World Great Lord. As he had judged before when fighting the Turbid World Great Lord, if the two sides fought, he would die, and the Turbid World Great Lord would be seriously injured.

But [victory] and [life and death] were not the same thing.

Faced with the Turbid World Great Lord, who was about to put down his many regrets and whose state of mind had reached completion, the swordsman had only one choice.

He could not allow the Turbid World Great Lord's state of mind to reach its peak. He could not let this great enemy think that he was a mage entering the world. Wei Yuan made a judgment almost instinctively. There was no fear, no anger, no unwillingness in his heart, only the purest heart that a swordsman should have.

Calm as water, deep as an abyss beneath.

His drooping fingers moved slightly, and the sharp edge reappeared.

And the Turbid World Great Lord, who had finally let go of his regrets and could calmly accept his loss, and who had seen off his nemesis in a hard-fought battle, looked up.

Now was the time when his aura reached its peak.

Wei Yuan's actions, Wei Yuan's movements, could hardly be concealed from him.

It seemed that he had seen through Wei Yuan's moves, or perhaps it was because of his confidence, or perhaps it was because his calm and detached state of mind had been achieved, so he could not avoid it at this time. The Turbid World Great Lord's defenses had been shattered by the previous sword, but they did not recover immediately, instead transforming into sharp Turbid World law lines that swirled around him.

As long as Wei Yuan dared to move, these law lines would instantly pierce through Wei Yuan's body.

He was imperishable, but at this moment, he was a person who was half a step beyond the world.

The Turbid World Great Lord's judgment was stronger and faster than Wei Yuan's at this moment.

The law lines split instantly.

…Most of them were divided into one stream, and that stream was divided into four, like huge chains enough to lock up a god like Chong Li, and instantly locked the four divine swords that had fallen to the ground because of the strongest sword move, so that their spirituality was bound and they could not take off, taking the lead to break Wei Yuan's sword move.

The other part gathered together and directly attacked Wei Yuan's vital points.

Wei Yuan's body had moved.

He did not go to retrieve the four divine swords!

Therefore, he was faster, in that instant of thought.

And this instant of thought had already broken through the Turbid World Great Lord's first reaction. Cause and effect spread out instantly, like building a bridge over the stars. The distance between the two was stacked with countless spatial laws, but now, cause and effect concealed the space and erased the distance.

So the laws faded and lost their brilliance.

Between the two of them, there were only three steps.

There was no sword formation, no sword moves or sword manuals that used the utmost skill. At this time, Wei Yuan had only one thought in his mind: to simply stop the Turbid World Great Lord's momentum from rising further, and never let him reach the most extreme step. And the thought in his heart led to action, raising his right hand, holding the sword with his fist, turning it into a finger sword.

All the sword moves, countless moves over these long years, seemed to appear in his heart at this moment.

And then he threw them all away!

In front of him was the enemy.

And there was no sharp weapon in his hand. Although he had no sword, it seemed that he was holding a sword.

Countless sword moves dissipated, leaving only the initial action that the first swordsmen made when they held their swords.

The Turbid World Great Lord looked at Wei Yuan. The characteristics of all Dao Fruits representing moves surged around him, as if all the Dao Fruits of the Turbid World were blocking Wei Yuan. At the same time, as the aura necessary for stepping into the peak state of mind, he did not retreat or dodge.

Instead, he faced Wei Yuan head-on.

Countless Dao Fruit changes evolved into countless world-destroying divine powers, and they crashed down with a rumble.

Wei Yuan's sword in his palm either thrust forward or slashed horizontally. In the most extreme situation, he would not remember the so-called moves, and what he could finally use was the instinct engraved in his heart.

The Turbid World Great Lord was the same.

After abandoning sword skills and moves, this black-haired Taoist seemed even more difficult to deal with. The speed of the sword was getting faster and faster, and it was so pure, so sharp, and so cold that even he could hardly make the many Dao Fruits of the Turbid World exert their ultimate power.

But the Turbid World Great Lord suddenly felt a sense of happiness.

He felt a sense of fighting with all his heart and soul, which he had not felt for a long time. For some reason, the Turbid World Great Lord, who had long stayed in the safest place in the Turbid World and never dared to take action without enough certainty, suddenly understood:

"In the end, what trapped me was not Hun Tian, but myself."

He completely understood, and then, after the death of the Turbid World foundation, the Turbid World Great Lord, who rarely revealed his emotions, suddenly burst out laughing. He thought of himself tens of thousands of years ago, when he was not afraid of any battle. It was like yesterday, and these ten thousand years were like a long dream.

…Returning to the present, it was not too late to find himself again.

In front of him was the enemy.

"Hahahaha, come on, Wei Yuan!"

He let out a long roar like a proof of victory, and countless law lines intersected instantly, directly piercing through Wei Yuan's body. Blood spurted out, but victory did not come at this time.

Wei Yuan seemed unable to feel the soul-piercing pain.

He could not feel the torment of being torn apart.

Instead, he used a more fierce method to pull himself closer.

For the second time, the Turbid World Great Lord made a wrong judgment when facing this enemy, and all the heavenly secrets that he used to predict were temporarily offset by the concept of cause and effect. With the spurt of blood, the edge of the sword qi flowed before his eyes. Even the Turbid World Great Lord could not help but whisper:

"...What an absurd person."

There was no anger or killing intent in this sentence.

Wei Yuan's sword finger had already touched the Turbid World Great Lord's body, but just like Wei Yuan's action when he dodged the law lines from piercing his vital points, the Turbid World Great Lord also raised his arm. Even the imperishable body was not an unbreakable barrier in front of the most powerful swordsman.

Blood and cold frost exploded at the same time.

The Shu Hu Two Emperors, Huo Zhuo, and the God of Order all shrank their pupils and changed their expressions drastically.

The Turbid World Great Lord's left arm was torn off again.

On that arm, which the Turbid World Great Lord had tempered with Kunlun Ruins as the foundation after the Turbid World Venerable died, countless cracks appeared, and then they disappeared with a dense and continuous sound of shattering. The energy that had stepped into the peak and was almost moving towards transcendence was forcibly stopped.

Then it was not only he who was injured.

Wei Yuan's right hand sword finger pointed obliquely at the ground, and at least seven types of Turbid World Dao Fruits corroded his left arm. The indestructible body, facing the attack of the strongest person in the world except for Hun Tian in the past with the realm of half-step transcendence, had also necrosed, but even so, the Turbid World Dao Fruit could not corrode other parts of his body.

They exchanged arms.

The Turbid World Great Lord's state of mind, which had looked around and found no match, was shattered.

Whether he admitted it or not, he had been forcibly cut off his arm at the peak of his aura, and it was the third time that he had been cut off the same arm by the same person. A hideous crack appeared in the originally perfect state of mind in an instant, and the swordsman looked at the Turbid World Great Lord, whose state of mind seemed very complicated, and said:

"I once said that as long as I am alive, your arm cannot be reattached."

"If you reattach it once, I will cut it off once."

"Although this time is also very embarrassing, my words are always effective."

The Turbid World Great Lord stared at the black-haired Taoist in front of him. One of his arms had completely necrosed and hung down like that. His Taoist robe was stained with blood and fluttered slightly, but it was like a mountain--

This mountain stood in his heart.

He had originally let go

His attachment to himself, his unwillingness to accept the past, and the state of mind that had been completely flattened after fighting Hun Tian with all his might, had another obstacle.

If he could not remove this obstacle, then he would still not be able to completely transcend.

…He would not be able to surpass his current realm.

The Turbid World Great Lord looked at the calm appearance of the black-haired Taoist in front of him, saw that his right hand was still a sword finger, and nodded slightly: "Although I really want to kill you now, killing you now will not help my state of mind in any way."

"After Hun Tian, you are the second enemy that I truly recognize."

"Therefore, the next time we meet, we two will have to completely decide who lives and who dies."

"Original Heavenly Lord…no, Wei Yuan."

"No more than three times. Next time, I will come and fight you in person."

The Turbid World Great Lord shook his head and left, exposing his back directly, but Wei Yuan never drew his sword. The Turbid World Fire God, Huo Zhuo, and the God of Order were silent, cupped their hands and saluted the swordsman, who had also lost an arm, before leaving.

The time spent entangled in the previous sword formation was not short, but the final two confrontations were extremely simple and quick. It was almost as if they did not even have time to think. The Shu Hu Two Emperors woke up as if from a dream and greeted him, laughing loudly: "Hahahaha, good boy, good boy!"

"He was able to exchange two arms for one with the monster Turbid World Great Lord."

"What's your name?"

"It's Wei Yuan, right! Ah!! Boy, what's wrong with you?"

Wei Yuan, who had forcibly accommodated the Yin-Yang Grand Tribulation, cut through the Turbid World Great Lord's Dao heart with one sword, and exchanged one arm for one with the Turbid World Great Lord who was heading towards transcendence, slowly let out a breath. At this moment, he finally seemed unable to control the Yin-Yang source in his body, and the two opposing forces began to go crazy!
