CHAPTER 509: CHAPTER 400 SWORD BODY ACHIEVES 7TH RANK MARTIAL SAINT_2

In other words, this Breaking Army Sword Saint was nothing more than a whetstone for Hong Yuan to achieve the status of a Seventh Order Sword Saint!

"Using me as a test for your sword? Bold move," the Breaking Army Sword Saint said, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

He thrust the Breaking Army Holy Sword forward. Starlight from the heavens converged beneath the blade, as if a great silver galaxy descended from the sky. The Sword Light was fierce, slicing across heaven and earth, and instantly pressed down towards the emerald river in front of Bo Qing.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM—

It was like the collapse of Mount Tai and the sudden roar of divine thunder.

The emerald river clashed ferociously with the intense Sword Light. Cyclones materialized and swept through the area, shattering the void like a spiderweb breaking in every direction.

A few slower Daxuan Martial Saints cried out in terror as the battle’s aftershocks reduced them to dust, robbing them of their lives.

"Bo Qing... he blocked it!?"

"The Breaking Army Sword Saint and Bo Qing are evenly matched; it’s hard to tell who is superior!?"

The Daxuan Emperor, the Eastern Wilderness Academy, Mou Liang Great Saint, and other Masters all grew solemn, watching with utmost seriousness.

They knew Bo Qing possessed exceptional talent and genius but had never imagined it to this extent.

Atop the Cloud Sea, the Breaking Army Sword Saint walked with his sword, plucking at the blade with his fingers. The resonant clang, a sound of slaughter, was deafening as terrifying sword glows bombarded the emerald river again and again.

Bo Qing’s figure was lithe, his pale blue robe fluttering. His face remained calm, yet he exuded an intimidating aura, as if everything was under his control.

At this moment, the Breaking Army Sword Saint was like a spear, and Bo Qing, a shield.

Nobody could tell who would win or lose.

Yet, the Breaking Army Sword Saint was a Seventh Order big shot, whereas Bo Qing was but a Sixth Order junior!

「...」

"Bo Qing? Bo Qing..." At the Sect Alliance’s rear headquarters, Shi Lingfang watched Bo Qing’s figure defying heaven and earth. Her expression changed, and she repeated Bo Qing’s name several times.

Beside her, Li Shenyu clenched her fist so tightly that her nails dug into her palm, causing waves of piercing pain. "It’s hard to imagine Hua Menghuang’s future with his assistance."

Watching the images on the water screen, their hearts tightened, feeling the weight of Bo Qing’s growing strength.

"Heh heh. ’In every generation, new talents emerge, each leading the way for centuries.’ Such extraordinary talent, heh heh heh..." Phoenix Creek Great Saint Fu Yanjiang laughed, his eyes kind and his expression benevolent. However, Shi Lingfang and Li Shenyu both became excited because Phoenix Creek Great Saint had consumed the Time Phoenix Grass!

BUZZ...

BUZZ, BUZZ...

Reclining on the ornate red throne, Phoenix Creek Great Saint spread his hand open. A white celestial fog enveloped the green, phoenix-shaped Time Phoenix Grass as he continuously absorbed its unique essence.

A faint, yet exceedingly pleasant jasmine fragrance emanated from the Time Phoenix Grass, pervading the entire palace.

After being nourished by the Time Phoenix Grass, Phoenix Creek Great Saint began to undergo earth-shattering changes.

He transformed from a decrepit old man into a valiant and martial youth. To look at him was like gazing into an abyss—vast, desolate, and ice-cold.

Truly terrifying!

Yet, seeing Phoenix Creek Great Saint Fu Yanjiang like this, Shi Lingfang and Li Shenyu exchanged glances, both seeing the excitement in each other’s eyes.

They understood that as long as Phoenix Creek Great Saint made a move, this battle would continue indefinitely. Bo Qing would find it very difficult to escape and mentor Hua Menghuang. Moreover, it was highly likely that Phoenix Creek Great Saint might even kill Bo Qing!

"Congratulations, Elder, on returning to your peak..."

"Congratulations, Elder, on returning to your peak..."

The two of them bowed their heads respectfully, offering congratulations with impeccable courtesy.

Phoenix Creek Great Saint Fu Yanjiang said little. He slowly stood up, stretched his limbs, and then headed straight for the Cloud Sea battlefield, making no attempt to conceal his presence!

Seeing Phoenix Creek Great Saint heading to the front lines, apparently to take command, Shi Lingfang and Li Shenyu nodded at each other. Their Will Incarnations immediately dissipated.

They could now mentor their Disciples with greater ease, preparing for the upcoming Great Dream Seed Awakening Conference!

「...」

"You are strong, I admit," Hong Yuan said softly to the Breaking Army Sword Saint, "but I am stronger!"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The next moment, the aura of a Seventh Order Sword Saint burst forth from him. The Breaking Army Sword Saint’s calm expression changed instantly, his pupils contracting sharply.

Through the Breaking Army Sword Saint’s tempering, Hong Yuan’s Sword Body achieved the status of a Seventh Order Sword Saint at an even faster pace.

Hong Yuan took a deep breath, no longer relying solely on the Reversed River Protective Dream Robe for defense.

"Dream Tao Divine Power—Five Finger Fist Dream Sword!"

One finger! Hong Yuan abruptly raised the thumb of his right hand.

From the center of his right fist, held high above his head, a Sword Light suddenly shot out.

FAST! FAST! FAST!

The speed of the Sword Light was unbelievable.

The moment it appeared, it shot towards the space between the Breaking Army Sword Saint’s eyebrows.

Had the Breaking Army Sword not automatically protected its master, this Sword Light would have pierced the Sword Saint’s entire skull in that instant.

Even so, the Breaking Army Sword emitted a sound of being overwhelmed as it shattered piece by piece!

Two fingers! Hong Yuan once again raised the index finger of his right hand.

A second Sword Light shot out from the center of his fist, its speed as blinding as before.

The Sword Light continued to penetrate the Breaking Army Sword. The sword let out a mournful cry and immediately shattered into powder. At this point, the Breaking Army Sword Saint was still in a dazed state, completely unable to keep up with Hong Yuan’s attack speed.

Just as Hong Yuan released the third finger’s Sword Light, his heart trembled violently, and he decisively activated the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Divine Power.

A valiant and martial figure suddenly stood before the Breaking Army Sword Saint, appearing like a specter out of thin air.

A Great Saint!

Phoenix Creek Great Saint!

When Phoenix Creek Great Saint had rushed towards this Cloud Sea battlefield, the Great Saint of the Daxuan Dynasty was already prepared. He intended to rescue Bo Qing, but only after Phoenix Creek Great Saint had blunted Bo Qing’s momentum. This way, his favor would be more impactful.

Dragon Sun Emperor’s Child, East Supreme Saint, was also preparing to operate the Reverse Saint Array to save Bo Qing. Bo Qing’s aptitude and talent astonished him; he was not far behind East Supreme Saint himself and definitely had the potential to achieve Tao in an alternative manner, becoming another towering pillar of the Human Race.

"Heavenly Demon Dismantling!"

"Heavenly Demon Dismantling!"

"Heavenly Demon Dismantling!"

Hong Yuan did not know that the Great Saint before him was his Sect’s patriarch—Phoenix Creek Great Saint. But this did not deter him from frantically activating the Heavenly Demon Dismantling Divine Power. He did not want to die!!!

[Life Span -500]

[Life Span -500]

[Life Span -500]

[...]

Only the Demonic Body’s Life Span was linked to his Original Body. Therefore, even as the Sword Body frantically activated Heavenly Demon Dismantling, it only consumed an additional three thousand-plus years of Life Span.

He had not yet died because the Blue Primordial Treasure Lotus, a Holy Plant, was supplying a potent life force. Even so, the Blue Primordial Treasure Lotus was nearly exhausted. Hong Yuan’s Sword Body had only about a hundred years of Life Span remaining.

If he wanted to replenish the Sword Body’s Life Span, he would first need to save the Blue Primordial Treasure Lotus.

BOOM!

RUMBLE!

RUMBLE RUMBLE!

With every passing second, Hong Yuan’s Sword Body’s aura advanced at a terrifying pace. In the blink of an eye, he crossed the barrier of the Seventh Order and reached the realm of an Eighth Order Saint.

The gap between Eighth Order Saints was vast, especially due to the five conditions for achieving Emperorhood.

Thus, Eighth Order Saints were further divided into Eighth Order Saints, Eighth Order Great Saints, and Eighth Order Quasi-Emperors.

Their fundamental rank and essence were the same, but their combat strength was worlds apart!

Without hesitation, Hong Yuan, activating the Reversed River Protective Dream Robe, transformed into a Sword Rainbow and turned to flee towards the Ji Clan in the Southern Border Divine Continent.

"What kind of secret technique is this?!" Phoenix Creek Great Saint was still surprised by Sword Body Hong Yuan’s sudden ascent to the Eighth Order, but Sword Body Hong Yuan’s act of fleeing quickly captured his attention.

Phoenix Creek Great Saint snorted coldly and slowly assumed a Tai Chi stance. Hundreds of thousands of Soul Tao Tao Marks rose and fell, their pervasive might causing all living beings in the Eastern Wilderness Divine Continent to tremble, wail, and submit before him.

"Old Fu, stop at once!" Yellow Dragon Great Saint of the Daxuan Dynasty leaped out, intending to intercept this attack for Sword Body Hong Yuan.

But he had underestimated Phoenix Creek Great Saint’s current strength!

"How is this possible!?" Yellow Dragon Great Saint looked back in horror, watching the Soul River, teeming with the souls of myriad Demon Beasts and Ferocious Beasts, thunderously surge towards Hong Yuan.

East Supreme Saint also narrowed his eyes, observing intently. He was ready to immediately use his Temporal Tao Divine Power to save Sword Tao Bo Qing if anything went amiss.

However, something completely unexpected occurred!

Facing an attack potent enough to be fatal to an ordinary Eighth Order Saint, Hong Yuan merely staggered a few steps but continued his escape, even using the force of the attack to flee even faster!

The entire crowd was in an uproar—

Phoenix Creek Great Saint wanted to pursue, but Yellow Dragon Great Saint, who had been prepared, managed to engage him.

Thus, Sword Tao Hong Yuan vanished from everyone’s sight, his whereabouts unknown...
