579 Original Extreme Heaven Saber

Xu Qing stepped into the mural world again and descended.

As the laws of a world pressed down on his body, he took a deep breath and took out the token. According to the guidance, he went to the East 13 area that he needed to guard in the future.

This area was very large. Ghost Hand hadn’t brought him there before, so Xu Qing took a little while to reach there.

The terrain here consisted mainly of volcanoes, with red ground and surging magma.

Those three Black Heaven cultivators were suppressed in three separate volcanoes.

They were being tortured using the light and heat emitted by the volcano, which imitated the power of the sun.

Xu Qing flew over to take a look and even took out a Black Heaven cultivator to observe carefully. 500 breaths later, Xu Qing’s eyes lit up.

“The aura of the red moon is much denser than that in the Holy Wave Race…” Xu Qing mumbled.

In reality, when Ghost Hand explained and dissected the Black Heaven Race in front of him back then, Xu Qing had already sensed the aura of the red moon in the Black Heaven Race’s body.

This aura came from their black blood.

Now, he confirmed this.

“This is also the reason why I sensed the aura of the red moon on the Holy Wave Race’s body. It’s because there’s a trace of the Black Heaven Race’s bloodline fused into the bodies of the Holy Wave Race cultivators.”

“From the looks of it, could it be that the Black Heaven Race is the same as the Divine Realm cultivator represented by the totem on the Absolute Beginning Separation Pillar in the Yinghuang Province? They both believe in the evil god who covered Its eyes in the red moon?”

Xu Qing felt vigilant. He was very clear that the purple moon in the Fourth Heavenly Palace was formed by a wisp of aura he had plundered from the red moon.

“Black Heaven Race…” Xu Qing fell silent. He felt that his judgment should be correct. This also matched the saying that there was no sun but only the moon in the Black Heaven Race.

After a long time, Xu Qing suppressed his thoughts and transmitted his divine sense to the shadow, leaving shadow eyes on the three Black Heaven Race members to observe them.

At the same time, he also placed jade slips to record their actions.

After that, Xu Qing thought about it. In order to let them communicate with each other and find out more details, he simply locked these three Black Heaven cultivators in a volcano.

After doing this, Xu Qing captured another nonhuman prisoner. He wanted to try the Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art and see if he could devour the other party and increase his cultivation.

Unfortunately, although Xu Qing could crush these criminals with his combat strength, the difference in their cultivation realms caused the effect of Bizarre Nether Dao Snatching Art to not have good effect.

Xu Qing felt that if devouring the cores of Golden Cores were compared to eating candied fruits, no matter how hard the candied fruits were, he could still eat them. After all, there was a layer of sugar wrapped around them. They would be melted and digested once they entered his body.

As for devouring a Nascent Soul, it was as though the outer layer of the candied fruit was covered in a layer of iron. It wasn’t easy to digest.

Xu Qing could understand this. After all, no matter how fragile the other party was, their realm was still that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The difference in levels made it difficult for him to unleash his Golden Core cultivation art normally.

Of course, it wasn’t that there was no solution, but it was much more troublesome. It wasn’t as convenient as devouring Golden Core cultivators.

Xu Qing felt that his method might be wrong. Hence, he planned to wait until he could withstand the rules of the world for longer before trying to find a solution. He calculated the time and prepared to leave.

Today, he had arrived twice. Now that his body was carrying the rules of the small world, he was about to reach his limit.

Just as Xu Qing was about to leave, the color of the sky suddenly changed in the distance. The clouds and fog in the sky transformed on their own and became a black mass with bolts of lightning swimming in them.

It was like a heavenly tribulation.

There were also many lightning bolts that overflowed and landed on the ground. This caused the ground there to collapse and gravel to splatter in all directions. Moreover, the range was still expanding.

Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed. He hadn’t created this scene.

“Did other Pawns arrive?”

Xu Qing’s body swayed as he moved closer. Wherever he passed, wind and clouds would stir.

From afar, it looked like a celestial body surrounded by violent power was speeding away.

The instant Xu Qing got close, a figure suddenly rushed out from the ground under the heavenly tribulation. It was a tall nonhuman with blue skin and a single horn on his head.

This nonhuman only had one eye and thick arms with nine fingers on each. At that moment, his expression was filled with anxiety and madness as he rushed toward the thunderclouds in the sky.

He was transcending the tribulation!

When Xu Qing saw this, he immediately understood that there were no other Pawns here. The reason why the world had changed was because of this nonhuman.

This person was extremely extraordinary. His cultivation was actually close to breaking through in this small world, causing the laws of the small world to transform into heavenly tribulation to suppress him.

This matter was rare in small worlds. During this period of time, as Xu Qing understood this prison world, he was very clear that… it was impossible for the other party to succeed.

If the laws of this world weren’t controlled by the Sword Holding Palace, the other party might have a chance of success. However, although Xu Qing hadn’t seen the suppression of the heavenly tribulation here before, according to his understanding, its might would be earth-shattering.

This place originally wasn’t guarded. Presumably, this was also the reason why the nonhuman chose this place.

However, this criminal clearly didn’t expect Xu Qing to arrive today.

“Senior Ghost Hand arranged for me to come here. Could it be that he knows about this?” Xu Qing came to a realization. At the same time, a shocking bang rang out from the tribulation cloud.

Thunder rumbled and the sky changed color. Bolts of lightning fell from the clouds in unison. They didn’t directly bombard the nonhuman that was rushing over but quickly gathered together.

It actually formed a long saber formed by lightning under the clouds.

This saber was filled with endless lightning and was dazzling.

A supreme mighty force descended into the world. It contained the rules of the operation of this small world, the laws of the world, and the power of the Heavenly Dao.

It emitted Dao rhythms!

The saber beam was even more dazzling at this moment, causing the color of the world to change. It was as though the world had completely dimmed at this moment. Only the light of this saber became the only light in the world!

It displayed endless strength, stirring up the sound of the sky breaking as it slashed at the nonhuman!

This was the true heavenly saber!

What it killed wasn’t the body but the Dao!

The saber slashed down and instantly pierced through the nonhuman’s body.

The blue-skinned nonhuman’s body trembled and he let out a mournful cry. As his body trembled, he coughed out blood violently.

His Nascent Soul cultivation couldn’t hold on and collapsed in the blink of an eye!

The Nascent Soul in his body instantly turned gray and flew away. All his Heavenly Palaces were instantly destroyed and the Foundation Building life fires were also extinguished. His Dao foundation collapsed and all his cultivation was gone!

“I’m not willing!!”

This nonhuman’s voice was incomparably miserable. However, it was obvious that he was helpless under the rules and laws of this world. He could only die with resentment. His body landed on the ground with a boom and he turned into a mortal. He lost everything and was on the verge of death.

At that moment, Xu Qing didn’t care about the criminal or the other party’s unwilling roars. He landed on a mountain peak and his eyes widened. Lightning echoed in his mind and monstrous waves stirred.

He stared fixedly at the heavenly saber formed by countless lightning bolts in the sky.

That saber strike kept appearing in his mind and became the only thing in it.

“That saber… that saber…” Xu Qing mumbled. His body trembled and a storm seemed to sweep through his mind.

The change in his state of mind also caused the laws of heaven and earth in the surroundings to transform. Countless clouds and mist appeared above him, sometimes turning into acid rain, sometimes into electromagnetic storm, and sometimes into lightning.

Even the surroundings of the mountain peak he was on were the same.

Everything outside the mountain was blurry. One moment, it was the sea, then the plains, then the desert, and then it returned to a volcano.

The sky changed color and the wind and clouds churned.

As for the nonhuman cultivator who had failed to transcend the tribulation, he had also disappeared without a trace under the changes in the laws of heaven and earth. He might have died or fled.

Xu Qing didn’t pay attention to this person. All his attention was on the saber of heavenly tribulation.

Even though this heavenly tribulation saber was slowly dissipating in the distance, it became increasingly clear in Xu Qing’s mind.

The feeling this saber strike gave him was very similar to the saber slash he had seen from the statue in the Extreme Heaven Dao Temple in the forbidden zone beside the scavenger campsite back then.

At the thought of this, Xu Qing’s body trembled.

“Can it be that…”

He had a faint judgment that the peerless expert who created the Extreme Heaven Saber back then might have seen a Dao-Slaying Heavenly Saber like today.

However, upon closer inspection, there were also differences.

The Dao Temple’s Extreme Heaven Saber was a cultivator’s saber, and this saber was the saber of heavenly tribulation.

The two were similar in that they came from almost the same source. The difference was that the Dao runes contained were different, so the direction of the slash was different.

The former killed the body while the latter slashed the Dao.

“If I can fuse its comprehension with the Extreme Heaven Saber…”

Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed and his breathing became slightly hurried.

He instinctively raised his right hand and copied the saber strike in his mind. His right hand also waved, wanting to use the Dao Slaying Saber formed by the laws of the world.

However, even if Xu Qing’s comprehension ability was astonishing, it was impossible for him to succeed with just a glance.

Hence, dozens of breaths later, as the shadow of the heavenly saber formed by the lightning in the sky slowly dissipated, the saber shadow that appeared in Xu Qing’s mind gradually became blurry.

In the end, no matter how unwilling Xu Qing was, it was still difficult for him to retain it and it gradually dissipated.

He also tried to use his authority to form this saber strike in the sky again, but it was ineffective.

Clearly, the appearance of this saber of heavenly tribulation was outside his authority.

However, Xu Qing didn’t give up. He immediately closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Just like how he had comprehended in front of the Ghost Emperor Mountain back then, he tried his best to slow down the dissipation of the saber shadow in his mind and tried his best to remember it.

Hundreds of breaths passed in the blink of an eye.

Xu Qing opened his bloodshot eyes. He lifted his head and looked at the sky that had returned to normal. He then sighed softly.

His comprehension… failed.

On one hand, the time when the heavenly saber appeared was too short. On the other hand, he was already reaching his limits in this small world, so his state wasn’t good.

Also, this heavenly saber’s level was extremely high. To a certain extent, it could be seen as the original version of the Extreme Heaven Saber.

All of this made it very difficult for him to succeed.

“I was too anxious.”

Xu Qing mumbled. After analyzing the reason for his failure, he had no choice but to soar into the air and leave this small world.

The moment he went out, as his body relaxed, fatigue instantly surfaced in his entire body.

Every time he left the small world, he would have this feeling. This was because his cultivation wasn’t high enough and the burden of enduring the rules of a world was extremely great.

However, he didn’t care about these. A look of contemplation appeared in his eyes as he analyzed.

“If I want to comprehend this saber strike, I have to let it appear a few more times… I have to be in a state of relaxation and completely free of distractions.”

“Only then will there be a possibility of comprehending this Dao Slaying Heavenly Saber.”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought. He lowered his head and looked at the small world below, having a direction in his mind.

“I’ve grasped two saber strikes of the Extreme Heaven Saber. If I can succeed in comprehending this Dao-Slaying Heavenly Saber, this strike can be my third strike.”

After Xu Qing arrived at the county capital, he didn’t leave the city that much or go out to search for the Extreme Heaven Dao Temples, so the number of Extreme Heaven Saber’s saber moves didn’t increase.

In addition, he also understood that with the conditions for comprehension of the Extreme Heaven Saber Art, most of the Extreme Heaven Dao Temples were ruined.

After all, as long as someone succeeded once, it would lose its effect.

This also meant that the difficulty of accumulating the Extreme Heaven Saber moves was extremely great. One needed an opportunity to find a Dao temple that hadn’t been successfully comprehended or kill those who had comprehended it.

Xu Qing returned to the Prison Department.

“I won’t return to the Sword Pavilion for now!”

The moment he walked out of the mural world, Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the scene in the small world.

Determination appeared in his eyes. He simply found a corner on the 90th floor and sat cross-legged to cultivate.

Four hours later, when Pawns entered and exited the small world one after another, Xu Qing’s body returned to normal under the circulation of the purple crystal.

He didn’t hesitate at all. He stood up and stepped into the mural, enduring the descent of the laws and entering the small world again.
