Chapter 6514 Pointers

BOOM!

The two swords collided with an explosive sound. While Yue Zifeng stood still in his position, Ling Han was sent flying along with his legacy Divine Sovereign sword.

“What?!”

Countless people gasped, especially those from the High Heaven Sword Sect.

How could they not? Ling Han was their strongest expert, and he also possessed a legacy Divine Sovereign magical item. Yet, he had just been overpowered by a man whose sword seemed utterly ordinary.

Could it be that Yue Zifeng’s weapon wasn’t ordinary at all? Was it some divine treasure so powerful that they couldn’t even recognize it?

“Y-you have merged your essence rune into your sword?!” Ling Han shouted in disbelief as he steadied himself in midair.

“Merge the essence rune into the sword?”

Many experts blinked in confusion, as they weren’t familiar with the term. On the other hand, every sword cultivator present froze in shock.

That act was pure madness. If the sword was destroyed, so too would its wielder.

“Ah, so that’s what’s going on!” exclaimed Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue finally understood why she couldn’t sense Yue Zifeng’s realm and law power. So, every scrap of his power was condensed in his sword.

Was that not insane?

Yue Zifeng’s expression remained as calm as still water.

“From the moment I first held a sword,” he said coldly, “I knew the sword was my life, and I would live for the sword. If my sword breaks, then my life ends. Your question is laughable.”

A layer of divine light shimmered across Yue Zifeng’s sword, its radiance laced with chilling law power. The aura it exuded was not inferior to that of a legacy Divine Sovereign magical item.

“His soul commands his sword, so it can unleash unmatched power. That’s why even an ordinary sword becomes a supreme weapon in his hand. No wonder he can overpower legacy Divine Sovereign magical items,” Zhao Yue murmured, comprehension flashing in her eyes.

The essence rune of the Sword Dao on Zhao Yue’s forehead rapidly condensed. Yue Zifeng’s Sword Dao will inspired and enlightened her, quickening her progress.

“Hmph, what nonsense. No matter how strong the sword is, it is nothing more than an extension of your own body, a tool you use. You’ve put your entire life and future into an ordinary piece of metal. Do you think you could scare me with some nonsensical words? Today, I will shatter that sword in your hand. We’ll see if you can keep acting tough then,” Ling Han mocked.

Despite his earlier setback, Ling Han was still confident he could win. Stepping across the void, he shot toward Yue Zifeng once more.

Yue Zifeng’s gaze turned faintly pitying. “The sword is not a tool, nor is it a mere extension of the body. That is the foolishness of those who have never listened to their blade.”

As he slowly lifted his sword, his voice rolled across the battlefield like a god’s scripture.

“The sword is the yoke of my soul—an extension of my life itself. It is the wings that let me soar through the heavens, the lantern that lights my path through darkness. When you entrust your heart, your mind, your body, and your soul to it, it will never betray you.”

“He’s giving me pointers...” Zhao Yue muttered, shaking.

These words were definitely not for Ling Han and the others. Nor were they taunts meant to provoke. Yue Zifeng’s pride was too lofty for such pettiness.

To her, it felt as though a deity was whispering directly into her soul, enlightening her. A door to a whole new world had just opened before her, right as she was condensing her essence rune.

Listening to Yue Zifeng’s words, she opened her mind to her sword and didn’t even bother with her essence rune. Her full mind and heart concentrated on her sword. Then, her sword started to quiver, its runes coming to life and intertwining with the essence rune on her forehead.

Her body quivered as her soul merged with the blade. For the first time in her life, she truly understood what it meant to be one with her sword.

In the past, she had thought she’d achieved such unity. Now she realized she had only imitated the form, not the spirit.

This sword had accompanied her as she grew—it had been sealed and awoken with her. Now, she finally spoke to it with her heart. Zhao Yue almost wept at this moment.

It had always been calling out to me... but I never listened.

Their souls were now one. Zhao Yue’s sword poured its own energy into her, helping her condense her essence rune.

Before long, countless complex runes condensed into a lotus-shaped diagram on her forehead. At its heart bloomed a lively sword-shaped mark.

BOOM!

Yue Zifeng and Ling Han clashed again, their Sword Qi exploding.

At the same time, Gu Yang, Li Qi, Song Mingyuan, Bai Xiaole, and Xia Chen also exchanged blows with their opponents.

“What?!”

To everyone’s surprise, Gu Yang, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan’s weapons suddenly flared with golden light, and three giant dragon phantoms surged from their blades. Now, they were capable of contending with legacy Divine Sovereign magical items.

Meanwhile, Bai Xiaole was fighting without a weapon. He was simply forming hand seals, and the space around him would twist like thousands of rapidly flowing flowers. The sight was mesmerizing yet nauseating—just watching made weaker experts feel their consciousness twist, as if they were being drawn into a storm of chaotic spacetime.

The one fighting Bai Xiaole roared in fury as he tried to break Bai Xiaole’s domain. But behind Bai Xiaole, two vast pupils opened in the void. His domain continuously cycled, trapping his opponent inside.

As for Xia Chen, he was sending numerous talismans flying around the battlefield. Some talismans crackled with lightning, some froze the void with frost, while others exploded in thunderous bursts or slashed silently through space like invisible blades.

Xia Chen’s opponent was completely flustered to see the endless variety of talismans. He knew that formation masters were difficult to deal with. He tried to get in close range to attack Xia Chen, only to be repeatedly forced back by his talismans. He couldn’t even touch the shadow of Xia Chen’s clothes.

All the top experts were unleashing their full power, their legacy Divine Sovereign magical items exuding devastating power. However, they couldn’t get through the defense of the captain-level experts.

“Heavens, the Dragonblood Legion is truly heaven-defying!”

The spectators gasped, feeling shivers run down their spines.

Having long since lost the desire to compete over the Earth Cauldron, they just wanted to bear witness to who the Earth Cauldron would end up with. However, they hadn’t expected to witness a battle like this. The so-called elites of major races and factions were being slaughtered like cannon fodder, making the spectators feel as insignificant as ants.

They weren’t qualified to participate in such a battle. After all, watching the battle already took their all.

A stray Sword Qi from Ling Han’s blade veered off course after clashing with Yue Zifeng’s strike, tearing through the distant crowd. Tens of thousands of cultivators were annihilated in an instant, unable even to scream before turning to ash.

This battlefield was deadly, but the spectators refused to leave. A battle of monsters on this level would only happen once in tens of thousands of years, and watching it would be beneficial to their cultivation. So even though their lives were at risk, they continued to watch.

At this moment, a strange phenomenon occurred. All the experts with legacy Divine Sovereign magical items came with massive armies behind them—millions strong. But they were just standing there and watching.

Now, people realized why. At the start, Ling Han had ordered the High Heaven Sword Sect’s disciples not to interfere, leading the others to assume he was conserving his sect’s strength for the final struggle over the Earth Cauldron.

But all of a sudden, all of the High Heaven Sword Sect’s experts went around Yue Zifeng and headed straight for the Dragonblood Legion.

In response, a figure streaked out of the spirit-gathering formation—Zhao Yue.

Her essence rune had fully condensed. Without hesitation, she charged straight toward the incoming enemies.
