Chapter 37: Chapter 35: Sword Qi Sweeps Across, Shocking the Entire Audience

BOOM!

A terrifying blast echoed throughout Xingyue City.

When the endless Cultivators looked toward the sound, they witnessed a breathtaking scene.

Sword Qi ravaged the area, unleashing terrifying power, yet it was not as everyone had expected—Jiang Hao had not been reduced to dust by the strike.

Although countless Cultivators had already turned away just moments prior, even more had kept their eyes glued to everything happening on the Battle Platform. Just a moment ago, when everyone thought that figure was about to perish and his Dao vanish, the figure in white had moved.

Especially at the moment the Qingfeng Sword was drawn, countless Cultivators felt as if they had been struck by lightning. And when that sword swept outward, it was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

The two streams of Sword Qi collided, sending an earth-shattering sword might rippling outward. Both Qi Tianyang and Jiang Hao were successively blasted back, slowly landing and retreating continuously.

It was not until the sky full of Sword Qi slowly dissipated and the two steadied their footing that the vast sea of people finally snapped back to reality, instantly triggering a massive uproar.

"What?"

At the moment the figure in white drew his sword, the expressions of countless older generation Cultivators of Xingyue City changed drastically. Especially when the young man not only neutralized Qi Tianyang’s attack with a single strike but also when both sides blasted each other back, everyone stood frozen in place.

"He didn’t die? And he even neutralized a strike from the Qilin Child?"

"Impossible, this... how is this possible?"

"It’s not true, this isn’t true. My old eyes must be failing me, this isn’t true."

For a time, countless Cultivators were filled with shock, disbelief written all over their faces as they could not fathom what they had just seen.

At this moment, Ye Xiaotian, Liu Ruyue, Wang Jiang, Qi Yun Mountain, Zhao Wuji, Wu Jing, Gai He, and the others felt as if they had been struck by thousands of thunderbolts, staring blankly at the scene on the field.

Hundreds of thousands of Xingyue City Cultivators were utterly dumbfounded, petrified on the spot.

"Mother, what... what did I just see? That piece of trash... he actually didn’t die?" Ye Xiaotian’s breathing grew ragged, endless ripples surging in his eyes.

Compared to the crowd, the members of the Li Family camp trembled slightly, their scalps tingling with numbness.

"What Yi’Er and the others said was actually true? He... he really is that peerless monster from Wuyang Mountain?"

"Unity Realm. It’s the aura of the Unity Realm. Heavens!"

At this moment, it was not just the hundreds of thousands of Xingyue City Cultivators who paled in shock. Even those geniuses hidden within the Tea Pavilion abruptly stood up, staring blankly at the unbelievable scene in the arena.

This was especially true for the viewing platform of the Qi Family. Countless experts of the Qi Family rose to their feet, their eyes wide with disbelief.

"He actually neutralized Yang’Er’s strike! How could this be?"

"Unity Realm? When... when did he step into the Unity Realm?"

Suddenly, as if realizing something, the imposing figures of the Qi Family felt as though they had been struck by lightning.

On the Battle Platform, having steadied himself, Qi Tianyang was filled with horror, monstrous waves surging within his incredulous eyes.

"Impossible. This is absolutely impossible! How could you take my sword strike? How could you also have the cultivation of the Unity Realm?

"Impossible, this is impossible!"

Qi Tianyang shook his head madly. In truth, he had sensed something was wrong the moment Jiang Hao opened his eyes. Yet, when Jiang Hao actually neutralized the strike, he still could not believe any of it was real.

The moment these words left his mouth, the entirety of Xingyue City thoroughly exploded into an uproar.

Although Qi Tianyang’s voice was not loud, his words on the Battle Platform were unmistakably heard by everyone.

In an instant, countless Cultivators gasped, their shock reaching an unparalleled degree.

"What did Qi Tianyang say? Unity... Unity Realm?"

"That piece of trash has a cultivation at the Unity Realm? How is that possible?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Just three months ago, he was a mere ant at the Peak of Body Refining Realm. It’s only been three short months, how could he be at the Unity Realm?"

"Reaching the Unity Realm in three months is simply impossible. This is a fairy tale."

"It really is the aura of the Unity Realm! This boy is an expert of the Unity Realm!"

After receiving confirmation from numerous experts, the vast sea of people completely petrified.

By now, quite a few Cultivators also realized the implications. A few observant experts noticed the reactions of the Cultivators in the Li Family camp and instantly guessed something.

"Could it be... that the peerless monster who caused such a commotion in Xingyue City not too long ago wasn’t some young man passing by Wuyang Mountain, but this piece of trash?"

BOOM!

At these words, the expressions of countless Cultivators changed drastically, their minds flashing back to the rumors of the peerless monster from a few days ago.

For a moment, countless gazes shifted toward the Li Family camp, focusing on Li Qingyi and the others. The only people in the entire Xingyue City Earth Realm who had seen that pair of youths were those few juniors from the Li Family.

"Miss Li, is what that senior said the truth? The peerless monster you saw on Wuyang Mountain that day—was it really this piece of trash?" a Cultivator immediately turned to Li Qingyi and asked.

However, she did not respond. Yet, the expression on her face had already given everyone their answer.

Instantly, countless Cultivators were dumbfounded, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Heavens, it really is that piece of trash?"

While everyone was stunned, countless pieces of information flooded their minds.

"A peerless monster who formed eleven spiritual vortices and broke through from the Creation Realm First Layer to the Unity Realm in fifty days... is actually a piece of trash who couldn’t even awaken a Martial Soul?"

"No, no, no! It’s not breaking through from the Creation Realm First Layer to the Unity Realm in fifty days, but... breaking through from the Peak of Body Refining Realm to the Unity Realm in three months!"

RUMBLE!

These words were like a heavenly thunderbolt, instantly exploding in everyone’s hearts.

A Unity Realm Cultivator in just three months, who had also opened eleven spiritual vortices—what a breathtaking feat this was!

"Three months, Unity Realm?"

On the Qi Family’s viewing platform, Qi Yun Mountain breathed heavily. His face was filled with incomparable shock, and as if he had realized something, his entire demeanor turned dreadful.

Even the disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect and Zhao Wuji experienced a shocking change in expression.

In this moment, all of Xingyue City shook. Hundreds of thousands of Cultivators shared almost the exact same expression—shock, and nothing but shock.

Meanwhile, on the Battle Platform.

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! I don’t believe this is true, this is definitely not true!"

Three months to reach the Unity Realm—this was simply impossible to achieve. Let alone a piece of trash who couldn’t even awaken a Martial Soul three years ago; even with his Celestial Tier Martial Soul, he couldn’t accomplish such a feat.

Qi Tianyang shook his head repeatedly. With an explosive shout, he violently charged forward with his sword. Suddenly, terrifying Sword Qi crisscrossed through the void, engulfing the figure in white.

Seeing this, Jiang Hao wasted no words. He immediately shifted his blade and unleashed a strike of his own.

The two were quickly locked in combat. Overwhelming Sword Qi instantly swallowed the entire platform, its terror enough to make hearts palpitate.

This scene left the Endless Star Moon City Cultivators completely dumbfounded. Because not only was that piece of trash fighting Qi Tianyang, but they were actually trading blows back and forth?

At this moment, overwhelming cries of "Impossible!" rose and fell in succession, almost replacing all other words. They couldn’t understand—in just three short months, how did that piece of trash do it?

It was simply inexplicable, unless the Martial Soul he awakened was even more terrifying than the Qilin Child’s. But that was completely impossible.

While everyone was still hopelessly trapped in their shock, the two figures fighting on the Battle Platform had already exchanged hundreds of blows.

It had to be said that Qi Tianyang’s strength was truly nothing to scoff at. Jiang Hao had even executed the Qinghe Sword Technique several times, yet there was still no clear victor.

However, the most horrified person right now was not Jiang Hao, but Qi Tianyang. Fighting until now, he had exhausted all his methods. He had even used the Qi Family’s clan-guarding martial art, the Heaven-Defying Seven Demon Swords, up to the fifth sword, yet he still hadn’t achieved overwhelming suppression.

"It’s not true, this isn’t true, I don’t believe it—I refuse to believe it!"

Fighting up to this point, Qi Tianyang’s Dao Heart seemed to be on the verge of collapse as he let out an earth-shattering roar.

The next moment...

"Heaven-Defying Seven Demon Swords, Sixth Sword: Sword to Level the Mountains and Seas!"

BOOM!

Suddenly, terrifying Sword Qi swept across the entire void. A stream of Sword Qi, over ten fathoms long, viciously tore through heaven and earth, slashing toward the figure in white.

The Qi Family’s clan-guarding martial art, the Heaven-Defying Seven Demon Swords, consisted of seven swords. Each strike was more terrifying than the last, its power multiplying exponentially.

The instant this strike was unleashed, even Jiang Hao’s expression changed drastically.

Outside the crowd, Ye Qingxian paled in sheer terror, subconsciously crying out in alarm, "Little fool?"

The moment this sword was unleashed, even Gu Qingyan couldn’t help but feel her heart leap into her throat. If Jiang Hao could withstand this strike, there would be hope. But if he couldn’t, he would suffer unimaginably severe injuries.

"Die for me!"

Qi Tianyang roared explosively as his sword violently descended. The terrifying Sword Qi smashed down, instantly swallowing the area where the figure in white stood.

Just before the earth-shattering Sword Qi struck, however, Jiang Hao slowly raised Qingfeng, and endless Sword Qi burst forth.

BOOM!

Unimaginably dreadful Sword Qi completely inundated that patch of heaven and earth, enveloping Jiang Hao’s figure within it. An earth-shaking blast resounded in all directions as the terrifying Sword Qi ran rampant, creating a breathtaking spectacle.

"What a terrifying sword strike."

"Is he dead?"

When Qi Tianyang’s strike swallowed everything, countless Cultivators breathed rapidly and spoke subconsciously. This strike was too terrifying—so terrifying that countless experts were trembling.

However, just as everyone was lost in speculation...

"Qinghe Sword Technique!"
