Chapter 378: The Power of Xiao Shou’s Ninth Sword

In an instant, they expanded and transformed into a gigantic sword that looked exactly like the Dark Night Spirit Sword.

Countless streams of spiritual energy were absorbed by the enormous sword, filling the space between the illusory sword and the physical spirit sword.

With Tushan Qingi’s peak Tribulation Crossing cultivation, he could immediately understand the principle behind this sword technique. He guessed that the spiritual pattern itself was the key to the technique.

The pattern could rapidly absorb enormous amounts of spiritual energy and continuously strengthen itself. Once it reached a certain level, it would expand according to the spirit sword it was attached to, transforming into a gigantic sword shaped construct.

It would then be filled with an endless amount of spiritual energy.

At the same time, when the spiritual pattern transformed into the sword shape, it seemed to establish a hidden connection with the area below.

The space around the person who had dared to provoke his precious grandson was locked down, preventing him from escaping.

The connection also guided the enormous materialized spiritual energy sword toward its target.

Thinking about it this way, the longer this technique was allowed to accumulate power, the more spiritual energy it could absorb and the greater its destructive force would become.

With the short amount of time Xiao Shou had spent preparing it, the technique had not even displayed ten percent of its true power.

My precious grandson is really cunning. This way, his true strength would remain hidden. In the future, when he used this technique at a critical moment, his enemies would underestimate his combat power and suffer terribly.

Tushan Qingi understood the principle instantly and became extremely pleased with himself. "As expected of my precious baby. Truly impressive. To think he could create such a powerful technique. A mere Spirit Transformation cultivator can already make it this formidable. If I were the one using it and allowed it to accumulate power for a longer period, I might even be able to destroy an entire minor world. Interesting. Truly interesting. Hahaha! Once the matter over there reaches us, things will become even more entertaining."

Below, beneath the Nine Dragons Platform:

Although Xiao Shou’s Sword of Zlatibor was aimed at the Patriarch of the Gou family, everyone present suddenly felt an intense sense of danger.

Everyone immediately flew away from the Patriarch of the Gou family. They only stopped after retreating to a place where the oppressive sense of danger was no longer quite as intense.

They stared in shock at the enormous Sword of Zlatibor. None of them could understand why, despite the terrifying situation before him, the Patriarch of the Gou family had not attempted to dodge. Instead, he simply stood there motionless.

The Patriarch of the Gou Family was secretly cursing his bad luck. From the moment the Sword of Zlatibor began taking shape, an intense sense of deadly danger had made him want to escape. However, he soon discovered that he could not move.

His body seemed to have been completely locked in place, while the surrounding space was entirely sealed. He could neither move nor use teleportation techniques.

With no other choice, he could only pour his spiritual energy into every defensive spell and defensive artifact he possessed, preparing to withstand the attack head on.

This move was indeed astonishingly powerful. But the person who had created such a technique was even more impressive.

Fu Young flew behind Xiao Shou and stared intently at his Master’s back.

Gou Guangyan, whose expression was usually emotionless, revealed a look of shock. So this was the strength of their Sect Master. No wonder Senior Brother was so powerful yet remained completely obedient to the Sect Master.

That sword technique, which was placed on the highest floor of the Cultivation Technique Pavilion and required a huge number of contribution points to exchange for, was actually this powerful. He had thought that the technique their Sect Master used during his tribulation was already astonishing enough.

He had never imagined... The ninth form of the sword technique?

As a disciple of the Eternal Prosperity Sect, he absolutely had to master this sword technique. This was the true strength of Supreme Lord’s Master. No wonder Supreme Lord had chosen him as his Master. From now on, I must show even greater respect toward his Sect Master. He’s ridiculously powerful. Both Master and disciple are monsters.

At this moment, it was not only the disciples of the Eternal Prosperity Sect whose hearts were shaken. Everyone else was equally shocked.

Eight of the Nine Great Sect Masters, along with the leaders of the various major forces, were practically speechless.

They could hardly believe that such a terrifying sword technique had been unleashed by the Eternal Prosperity Sect Master, who was known as a medical cultivator.

Wasn’t it common knowledge that medical cultivators had the weakest combat abilities? Then what was this?

On the contrary, Sect Master Lu Wuchen of the Holy Sword Sect, Venerable Jian Li, and the other sword cultivators all had their eyes shining brightly. None of them were willing to retreat even a single step. They wanted to personally experience the power of this sword technique.

At the outskirts of the venue, Xiao Ran had also obtained a qualification to participate in the competition.

After hearing that both Xiao Shou and his disciples were participating, and that the obscure Eternal Prosperity Sect had even obtained competition slots, Xiao Ran was furious.

She had already suffered greatly at the hands of Xiao Shou’s disciples twice.

Only after being reminded by the Spirit of the Heavenly Orb did she finally calm down and begin gathering every piece of information related to Xiao Shou.

From the information she collected, she learned that Xiao Shou was merely an insignificant medical cultivator. He relied entirely on his grandfather, who came from the Upper Realm, to make the various forces wary of him.

Aside from that, there was seemingly nothing particularly noteworthy about him. The only thing worth mentioning was his healing ability, which was comparable to a Creation Pill.
