Chapter 571 - 580: 50,000 Jin of Force

The crowd outside the mountain watched this scene, their gazes hardening as they secretly clicked their tongues in amazement. How could the Elders of the Jade Maiden Sect fail to recognize the terrifying force behind Wen Qingye’s punch? That one blow would have severely injured any ordinary Life and Death Realm expert.

Yet here it was, unleashed by a Destruction Realm expert. How could the crowd not be astonished?

Shards of ice danced through the sky as Wen Qingye’s blood and qi surged. He had clearly pushed his Five Elements Body Refining Technique to its absolute limit. Combined with the formidable Rock Law from his Slaying Immortal Sword Dao, granting him a titanic strength, every move he made pulsed with the condensed power of a volcano.

"Such incredible force..."

In mid-air, Ling Tianyu’s figure flickered into view. He gazed at the motes of ice that Wen Qingye had shattered, then shook his head and said, "My Sword Aura Cold Soul is not so easily broken."

The moment he finished speaking, Ling Tianyu waved his sword. The motes of ice scattered across the sky instantly swept down like millions of arrows, blanketing the heavens as they whistled toward Wen Qingye.

Seeing the sharp motes of ice sweeping toward him, Wen Qingye was fearless. His eyes remained fixed coldly ahead. In an instant, a five-colored brilliance erupted from his body and shot toward the sky, forming a massive five-colored barrier of light.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

As the motes of ice struck the five-colored barrier, they shattered one after another, dissipating into the surrounding Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi.

Ling Tianyu was momentarily stunned. He hadn’t expected Wen Qingye’s body to be so powerful—it completely surpassed his expectations. His previous assault would have forced even an ordinary Life and Death Realm First Layer Heaven Martial Artist into a steady retreat, yet Wen Qingye had withstood it completely, without taking so much as half a step back.

"Truly formidable. Now this is getting interesting."

Ling Tianyu gently stroked the ice-white Sword Body with his left hand, his gaze growing ever colder.

BOOM!

The next moment!

As if a volcano had suddenly erupted, a terrifying surge of Primordial Qi shot toward the heavens. The entire sky in the area turned frigid. Faintly, countless ice fragments began to condense around the Sword Body of Ling Tianyu’s blade.

Ling Tianyu hovered in the air, looking down on Wen Qingye with a cold, detached expression. The immense pressure from his Primordial Qi caused the expressions of many Jade Maiden Sect Elders to shift.

Although Ling Tianyu was at the Life and Death Realm Second Layer Heaven, this pressure was no weaker than that of an ordinary Life and Death Realm Third Layer Heaven Martial Artist.

Boundless Primordial Qi raged across the sky like a storm. Ling Tianyu tightened his grip, and a tide of Ice Cold Primordial Qi howled forth from his Sword Body.

"Ice Wave Annihilation Technique!"

Within a few breaths, the path of the Sword Body seemed to coalesce into a massive Ice Wave. An endless, frigid current followed in its wake, so cold that it flash-froze the very air into ice crystals. From a distance, the sight was magnificent.

But beneath that magnificence lay a heart-stopping danger.

The Ice Wave grew rapidly in Wen Qingye’s eyes. He took a sharp breath, his expression turning grave.

BOOM!

A formidable torrent of Primordial Qi erupted from within Wen Qingye’s body. The power he now wielded was several times greater than what he had displayed during the battle in the Celestial Martial Country.

’So Wen Qingye has already broken through to the Destruction Realm Ninth Layer Heaven.’ Fang Huatong’s gaze flickered as she sensed his majestic aura. She didn’t need to actively seek out news about him; word of his exploits always reached her. Back in the Celestial Martial Country, his cultivation had been at the Destruction Realm Eighth Layer Heaven. She never imagined he would break through again in such a short amount of time. ’Still, even if he’s at the Destruction Realm Ninth Layer Heaven, isn’t his combat power only comparable to the peak of the Life and Death Realm First Layer Heaven? Ling Tianyu is an expert at the Life and Death Realm Second Layer Heaven.’

Boundless Primordial Qi surged around him as a brilliant light flashed in Wen Qingye’s eyes. He heaved his Bladeless Heavy Sword upward. The Sword Body erupted in a blue radiance, and the cry of a dragon echoed through the air. Faintly, a powerful pressure began to emanate from it.

ROAR!

The draconic roar thundered, and the very air seemed to tremble in response.

The supreme blue light on the Bladeless Heavy Sword contracted rapidly, and ripples of cold energy pulsed outward from the Sword Body, layer after layer.

The already cold Heavenly Jade Mountain grew even colder, reaching an extreme chill. Small animals, unable to react in time, were instantly frozen into ice sculptures.

"Cold Ice Sword Technique, First Sword—Cold Rainfall!"

A blue Sword Aura erupted from the Bladeless Heavy Sword, surging forward with astonishing speed. Wherever the freezing Sword Aura passed, countless more ice-blue sword auras manifested around it, as if clinging to the main blade of light.

The countless Sword Auras shot through the air, then violently smashed into the incoming Ice Wave.

BOOM!

It was like two massive glaciers colliding.

In the next moment, everyone from the Jade Maiden Sect felt the very earth shake as an extremely cold, white mist filled the air.

The ice-blue Ice Wave shattered into a sky full of crystalline motes before dissipating completely.

As the cold mist gradually dispersed, all eyes turned toward the center of the clash. A look of astonishment appeared on every face. No one had expected that what they assumed would be a one-sided battle would turn into such a stalemate.

Wen Qingye stared ahead, his face impassive. The Bladeless Heavy Sword in his hands continued to thrum, emitting wisps of white vapor.

Ling Tianyu’s figure emerged from the white vapor, his eyes fixed gravely on Wen Qingye.

BOOM!

But in the instant that Ling Tianyu’s gaze flickered, Wen Qingye shot forward. His body became a streak of light as he soared into the sky, heading straight for his opponent.

A low uproar rippled through the crowd. How dare Wen Qingye take the initiative to attack again?

SWOOSH!

Wen Qingye’s figure appeared phantom-like above Ling Tianyu. He gripped his Bladeless Heavy Sword with both hands, and a boundless torrent of Primordial Qi erupted from him.

A supreme, boundless imperial might spread out, and Wen Qingye’s body seemed to merge with the heavens.

"Fifth Form of the Sword Emperor Technique! Sword Dominator of the World!"

A colossal sword materialized in the sky, descending with the force of Mountain Splitting and Mountain Breaking.

The giant sword shot out, causing a Qi Burst in the air as it transformed into a golden beam of light aimed straight at Ling Tianyu. Its terrifying force was like that of a falling meteor, filled with an aura of explosive destruction.

As the giant sword swept toward him, Ling Tianyu sensed its boundless, terrifying power and let out a great shout. The sword in his hand seemed to shift and transform, becoming a colossal blue Ice Sword that pulsed with an extremely cold aura.

"Icebound Ten Thousand Miles!"

The two colossal swords collided violently in mid-air, and a berserk wave of Primordial Qi surged madly in all directions.
