Born with immortal seed

Chapter 634 The Dao Births a Sword

The sword spirit of the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword had never been so joyful. Thunderous light surged, and this sword light could not be described by written words.

Lofty and grand, profound and vast.

With Yin and Yang and the Five Elements complete, and the Two Forms and Four Symbols combined, the sword lights intertwine, giving rise to infinite possibilities.

When the Southern Bright Fire Sword clashed with the Five Emperors Golden Crow Sword, all sorts of heavenly fires spewed up, giving birth to a world within fire.

It burns everything, yet gives birth to everything. Countless fire spirits roam about, some eternally indestructible, some destroying all, and some giving birth to all things.

And then there were the Killing Demon Sword and the Avici Hell Demon Sword, their endless killing intent intertwined, almost materializing.

The resulting world resembled a true hell, with evil spirits and demons constantly crawling out from the dark and filthy depths.

Each flying sword was bathed in the radiance of the Purple Star Thunder Sword, evolving into a magnificent world of sword light.

Moreover, they can't just be paired up once; the Five Emperors Golden Crow Sword and the Southern Bright Fire Sword created a world of flames.

Turning back, it formed a world of lotus blossoms emerging from fire with the Azure Lotus Holy Sword, a world of equal prosperity.

It can even combine three or four flying swords to create a structure.

The higher the level of the flying sword, the more sword light worlds it can create.

This was created by Bai Zichen after witnessing the myriad laws arising from a single sword, and inspired by the Star River Sword Formation.

He poured all his life's achievements in swordsmanship into this one sword strike.

Using those fifth- and fourth-tier flying swords, they expounded their sword intent and evolved different worlds.

This can be considered taking a shortcut. If one were to achieve this level based on their own skills, even a genius who could learn it instantly and understand it immediately would still take thousands of years.

Bai Zichen had a sudden flash of inspiration that day and thought of this approach. The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

He couldn't yet achieve the realm of "one sword, one world," so he would combine the power of two or more flying swords.

Since he had the Wushangqing Micro Sword Box, he was not afraid of the limitation of activating too many flying swords at the same time.

Aside from the consumption of true essence, the biggest difficulty of this method is that as the number of flying swords increases, the complexity and chaos become more and more difficult to manage and control.

Secondly, the flying swords are not under each other's control, so it's impossible that coordination was not considered when they were forged.

Moreover, high-level flying swords are all proud and arrogant. Nascent Soul sword cultivators are lucky to be able to refine them. Even Deity Transformation cultivators are more like collaborators than master and servant.

Subduing the sword spirits and getting them to cooperate without reservation has become a major problem.

The former, with his initial understanding of the concept of "one sword can generate all laws," could barely manage to do so.

Furthermore, more evolutionary possibilities must be sacrificed; fourth-order flying swords are often only used as supplements and rarely become a world in themselves.

The latter is fortunate to have the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword. As a fifth-order flying sword, regardless of its strength, it is impossible for it to accept the leading position of other fifth-order sword spirits and follow behind to curry favor.

However, after the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword awakened to the fifth level, it clearly widened the gap with flying swords of the same level.

Not to mention the Abyssal Prison Demon Sword, which had witnessed its magnificent performance and understood the difference between the two, and thus treated the sword spirit with utmost respect.

Even with the other fifth-tier flying swords, after spending time together, one can feel a huge gap.

Other flying swords that can reach the fifth rank are forged by generations of cultivators in the Earthly Immortal Realm through refinement, accompanying their growth and cultivation, absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and strengthening their origin to advance to the next rank.

If it is a flying sword native to the lower realm, then it can only be the sword master who has transformed into a god. Only the best of the fourth-tier flying swords can seize the moment when the cave heaven is formed and the great power of heaven and earth pours out, and only then will they have the opportunity to take a step towards a complete transformation.

The Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword remains at the fifth rank, a level of treasure that is the only one allowed to exist in the mortal realm.

As a flying sword that smuggled itself from the Immortal Realm to the Human Realm, its rank must be sealed before it can be used normally.

Once you return to the Immortal Realm, it won't be difficult to restore the Purple Star Thunderclap Sword to its sixth rank.

This time, Bai Zichen unleashed his full power, using his swordsmanship and the Supreme Pure Light Sword Box as bait, and the Purple Star Thunderclap Sword as a megaphone, to call out to all high-level flying swords within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Even the newly arrived fifth-tier flying swords were quickly subdued by the oppressive power of the Purple Star Thunder Sword.

This flying sword is clearly far superior to everyone else's, so no one would object to it being chosen as the leader.

Nine fifth-tier flying swords and nine fourth-tier flying swords—such a display is unmatched by any sword-cultivating sect in the cultivation world.

The Azure Lotus Sword Sect is the oldest existing sword cultivation sect, having thrived since the era of ancient sword cultivation.

Even though there were periods of decline, the sect remained at the Nascent Soul level and never lost its Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

It took tens of thousands of years to accumulate the three divine swords.

One part was lost, and the other part was hidden deep in the cave by the Nascent Soul Ancestor. Now, they have both gathered together in Bai Zichen's hands.

This indescribably magnificent sword light made all the cultivators who were watching at close range feel fear, just like the giant palm that the Red-Eared Ancestor was pressing down from afar.

Before it had even truly displayed its strength, the mere aftershocks of the sword light world were enough to shatter the oppressive aura emanating from the Nascent Soul Demon Lord.

The source of that chilling fear that sent shivers down the cultivator's spine, the feeling of coldness in his limbs as if he had fallen into an ice cave, suddenly receded, and vitality returned to his body.

The sword light evolves into countless worlds, and the true meaning of the Great Dao flows between this giant sword light and the small world within it.

Watch as one sword-light world after another bursts forth like inflated bubbles, expanding to their fullest extent before finally shattering.

However, the world of sword light will not disappear, but will be integrated into other worlds nearby, giving rise to even more complex changes.

Therefore, Bai Zichen named his sword strike "Dao Sheng".

In fact, this is just the beginning.

Besides more flying swords and higher-grade ones, he had already envisioned the next sword strike.

Prosperity leads to decline, and the cycle of flourishing and decay continues.

This applies to all things in life, and even a small world is no exception, let alone the small world of sword light.

When the fragments of the world accumulated within the giant sword light become too numerous and cannot be absorbed by the new world, then boundless desolation will occur.

The world collapsed, heading towards its end, until it became the Primordial Ruins, an eternal black hole.

In his vision, that would be an even more terrifying sword strike than 'Dao Sheng', because it would directly destroy all the flying swords that joined it.

The world of sword light came to an end, was completely destroyed, and subsequently affected the real world.

This is called 'the extinction of the Way'.

However, to reach that level, one must wait until Bai Zichen reaches the Nascent Soul stage before having the opportunity to discuss and comprehend the Dao.

Moreover, the cost of destroying one's own flying sword is acceptable to other cultivators who would simply destroy a few third-tier flying swords.

But once he makes a move, the losses will be measured in the equivalent of a fifth-tier flying sword.

If one is extravagant, a single sword strike can wipe out the savings of a super-powerful sect accumulated over tens of thousands of years, all in an instant.

Once he reaches godhood, he cannot imagine who in the mortal realm would be worthy of his devotion.

"What courage! You dare to draw your sword against a Nascent Soul Demon Venerable! You're the first one I've ever seen among the human race at the Nascent Soul stage!"

With a flick of his wrist, the Red-Eared Ancestor tore off several rays of light from the heavens and swung them into long, flowing ribbons.

With a gentle shake, a layer of gray light appeared on the giant palm, and a double force from the sky and the earth squeezed Bai Zichen from top to bottom.

"Then you have seen it today, and there will be more in the future... Only through passing on the torch and striving for self-improvement can the human race achieve its current state."

Bai Zichen's hands were trembling slightly, but his expression was calm and his gaze was steady.

Wielding a sword against a Nascent Soul cultivator was something that had only existed in his imagination in the past, but now it had become a reality.

Back then in Black Mountain, Bai Zichen, who was only at the Core Formation stage, had the courage to draw his sword against the Nine Lotus True Monarch, but in reality, he was quite confident.

Everyone knows that the Nine Lotus True Monarch is nearing the end of his life and will not have much time left. He is absolutely no match for the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword's life-severing strike.

In the eyes of outsiders, it was astonishing and became the first successful case of reversing the Nascent Soul stage from Core Formation to Nascent Soul in ten thousand years.

There is a difference between the Nascent Soul stage and the Deity Transformation stage; they represent the difference between the top level of the human realm and the true pinnacle of existence, and their mastery of the Great Dao is worlds apart.

Not to mention, this is a sword technique created by Bai Zichen himself.

It had evolved countless times in his mind, but he had never actually used it.

Sword intuition told him it was correct, and the reactions of the Purple Star Thunder Sword and those unfamiliar fifth-tier flying swords also proved the feasibility of the Dao-born Sword.

But since it wasn't put on paper, doubts remained.

However, it wasn't out of fear or hesitation, but rather tension and excitement, for this would be the moment to prove myself.

Sword and palm clashed, a blinding light shone forth.

Each time they intersect, a world of sword light is destroyed, but at the same time, many more emerge.

With its first strike, it repelled all the fourth-tier flying swords, and with a mournful cry, it reversed and returned to the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box.

But this ironically resulted in the remaining sword lights and flying swords being replenished and becoming even stronger.

The second palm strike was blocked by Daosheng's sword as he moved straight forward, halfway down.

The Demon Lord's true form, a giant palm capable of reaching the heavens and the earth, had a white mark appear on its hand that could summon stars and grasp the moon.

The connection with the Earth's magnetic field was successfully severed, causing gravity to spiral out of control, rocks to fly into the sky, and rivers to flow backward.

With his third palm strike, the Red-Eared Ancestor grunted and used both palms together to easily grasp the giant sword light.

Just as he was about to burst into triumphant laughter, he saw countless ghostly claws in the killing field, their intense killing intent threatening to wither all things.

Furthermore, the addition of the Demon-Slaying Sword adds another layer to the killing zone, subjecting all the dead monsters to further mental torment.

The three flying swords, renowned for their killing prowess, joined forces to leave countless tiny wounds on the giant hand.

There's no need for sword light to touch; it's purely the killing intent that creates the effect from afar.

These worlds of sword light consumed all of Ancestor Crimson Ear's energy, leaving him with no capacity to make any further progress.

It had already placed this sword at the highest level of importance in its mind, considering it to be even more threatening than the deceased Peak Master Huang Ting.

But with such a severely injured body, this was already the limit.

'Finally, we got through that. He can't possibly unleash a second sword strike after such a terrifying display!'

Old Ancestor Crimson Ears was still shaken. If that sword had landed on him, he would have felt death approaching and become a laughingstock of the demon race forever.

"No, the leading sword hasn't even started to change yet, this sword strike isn't over yet!"

By the time the Crimson-Eared Ancestor realized what was happening, it was too late. The Purple Star Thunder Sword, which had only played a mediating role, finally erupted, and the Dao-born Sword was not the end of it.

This mere display of power is hardly worthy of Bai Zichen's painstaking efforts and the culmination of his life's work in swordsmanship.

How could he abandon the Star River Sword Formation and feel that this move has a much brighter future without any actual combat experience?

How can one be willing to expend energy and inspiration in the initial stages to generate a magnificent and ever-expanding vision of the ultimate annihilation?

The Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword accepted all comers, merging with the other eight fifth-tier flying swords to form a complete world of sword light.

Yin and Yang rise and fall, the two polarities are divided, the four symbols are fixed, and the five elements are complete.

This world is full of strange phenomena, and every mile there is the influence of another major road.

But there is one thing: no matter when or where, there will always be flashes of lightning, with billions of bolts of lightning gathered together.

A single drop of thunderous liquid possesses the power to destroy the world.

Swish!
The giant hand was cleaved open, and Dao Sheng's sword finally broke through the layers of obstacles and fell towards the Red-Eared Ancestor.

The moment the sword light touched his body, Xiaobai's nascent soul simultaneously pulled up the River of Time behind him and forcefully hurled it at the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword.

The sword light was instantly enveloped by the true meaning of time, causing time to advance and retreat, directly causing the Crimson-Eared Ancestor's angry strike to miss its target.

This is something that is simply impossible for a Nascent Soul Demon Lord.

That was the true meaning of time. The attack of the Red-Eared Ancestor did not actually miss; it only struck Dao Sheng's sword a moment earlier.

With a roar, blood flowed like a river from the Red-Eared Ancestor's shoulder, and the swaying of the emerald green fishing rod tore the wound open again.

Just as it was about to burn its essence and blood to reunite its demonic energy, the river of time suddenly chose the Fanghua Sword.

Bai Zichen's face was ashen, and at the same time, Xiao Bai's nascent soul also staggered and quickly sat down cross-legged.

Forcibly cutting off a hundred years of lifespan from a normal cultivator's body is an extremely unpleasant experience, enough to make one faint at any moment.

It was as if the power was being dredged from his very marrow, from the depths of his body, that caused tears of blood to stream down his face.

Losing two hundred years of lifespan in a single day would be a serious injury even for a great demon, requiring proper recuperation.

Any human cultivator, even in their prime, could face life-threatening consequences due to the rapid loss of lifespan.

Only Bai Zichen is an exception, having cultivated to the late Nascent Soul stage in less than three hundred years. He has both the strength to withstand these things and enough lifespan.

The True Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword was activated again, its sword light shining brightly once more, catching the Crimson Ear Ancestor off guard.

The river of time flowed by, striking its demonic body directly.

The entanglement with Daosheng's sword exhausted the power of the Crimson-Eared Ancestor.

Logically, given the level of a Nascent Soul Demon Venerable, the effect of the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword should be negligible, perhaps only one-tenth.

However, the Red-Eared Ancestor is afflicted with multiple negative conditions, and the emerald green fishing rod still retains the essence and spirit of the Yellow Court Peak Master, so it is necessary to fight against him.

The previous battle has taken far too long to recover from.

Dao Sheng had never seen a sword before and underestimated its power. His true essence was worn away by the world formed by those fifth-order flying swords.

All these factors combined meant that, at the crucial moment, the Crimson-Eared Ancestor, like a Nascent Soul cultivator, was unable to mount any effective defense against the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword.

First, all the hair on its body turned grayish-white very quickly and fell out in large patches.

Subsequently, his vital energy and blood depleted, his physical body aged and decayed, and his overall aura diminished.

His entire body was at a standstill, except for the peach-shaped organ in his heart, which was still beating strongly.

With difficulty, the Red-Eared Ancestor opened his mouth, his lips moving as he silently uttered a few words.

Before it could unleash its supernatural powers, a fierce wind gathered and a torrent rose up, condensing and swirling around it.

But the next moment, his whole body trembled, and the immortal peach inside his body was struck by lightning and suddenly jumped up.

Most of the blood vessels burst, and even the core supporting the demon's body could no longer hold on, ceasing to function.

It was the second stage of the complete Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword that cut off lifespan. The Red-Eared Ancestor's remaining lifespan was already less than one-tenth, and he was only prolonging his life by taking advantage of the Immortal Peach.

Before the Azure Emperor's Longevity Sword, it could no longer conceal itself and its breath ceased.

The bloodline supernatural power was interrupted halfway through, blood flowed from its seven orifices, its demonic body exploded with countless holes, and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.
