Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

The seabed tens of thousands of meters deep.

Zhang Yan's body surged with lightning, like a thunder ruler, with lightning flowing through every inch of his skin.

The two swords, one green and one white, were integrated into the thirty-six flying swords.

Between heaven and earth, the hidden true meanings of the Fire of Separation and the Wood of Tremor are constantly emerging.

They converged within the sword formation.

A mixture of bluish and white light.

The radiant sea.

The True Technique of Sword Control was also pushed to its limit.

Zhang Yan exuded a sharp aura, as if a peerless divine sword had been drawn from its sheath.

The supreme sword intent merged into the sword formation.

The power of annihilation and the true essence of swordsmanship are perfectly integrated. This is Zhang Yan's most outstanding sword strike since he began cultivating!
When external forces are pushed to their limit.

Within the tenth stage of the Nascent Soul realm, the three-colored spiritual ring expanded, completely breaking through the limits.

An aura comparable to that of a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator erupted.

Although it is the weakest of the three.

But it also broke the shackles of heaven and earth!
this moment.

In the deep, dark sea, only the auras of Zhang Yan and Xu, both at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, enveloped the area, as if two continents were colliding in a tremendous way.

"At the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"Reversing the battle at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm!"

Everyone around was shocked by what they saw.

No one expected it.

Zhang Yan was actually able to contend with the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm!

"impossible!"

"How could someone break the limitations of heaven and earth?"

Chen Xiao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, his features contorted with jealousy, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace.

Both are in the Nascent Soul stage.

He was still at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

But in front of Zhang Yan, they didn't even have the strength to withstand a single blow.

If it were him now, would he dare to approach the battlefield?

Even if it's just the aftermath.

That would make his soul fly away!

How could he possibly accept this?

"Young Pavilion Master!"

The three Dharma Aspect Realm experts of the Divine Weapon Pavilion were both surprised and delighted.

Zhang Yan's attack.

It has definitely reached the level of the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

They are no less capable than Li Yan.

Zhang Yan, on the other hand, has only been cultivating for a little over two hundred years!

This is a true genius!
The three of them even felt a sense of surprise, as if they had gotten a great deal!

"Junior Brother Zhang!"

Lin Qingyue stared intently at the Kui Niu's true eye, her excitement beyond words.

She never dared to even imagine it before.

A genius with a ninth-stage Nascent Soul will appear in the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Zhang Yan is not only a ninth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but his combat power is also extremely heaven-defying.

It far exceeds the limits of the Nascent Soul stage.

All eyes are on you.

Zhang Yan clashed with Xu, who was at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Boom!
As if the sky had collapsed, the dark sea was completely illuminated by dazzling light.

The two terrifying attacks from the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect realm stirred up aftershocks that spread for thousands of miles.

Even tens of thousands of meters away on the sea surface, it exploded, creating a wave ten thousand meters high.

"It's the True Technique of Sword Control!"

"Which force did our mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from the Imperial Sword Sect encounter as an opponent?"

The Imperial Sword Sect quickly sensed this fluctuation.

However, the Heavenly Lord of the Imperial Sword Sect.

I don't really care.

Because the Imperial Sword Sect is powerful enough, it is not afraid of other forces.

"what happened?"

"How did this match up with the Imperial Sword Sect?"

Black Wind Heavenly Lord of the Human Race Alliance, however, had a grim expression.

Xu, who was in the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm, was his disciple.

Before entering the Demon Burial Sea, he repeatedly warned them not to provoke the Imperial Sword Sect.

And yet, it still happened.

But given the current situation, he couldn't afford to interfere with the competition under the watchful eyes of everyone.

"I, the Heavenly Lord, will mentor you."

"It's to suppress the Divine Weapon Pavilion!"

"However, I left him a trump card to save his life."

Even if they are not opponents, they can still leave.

"I must inquire about this matter after the competition is over!"

Black Wind Heavenly Lord thought grimly to himself.

……

seabed.

The aftershocks were devastating.

This attack ended in a draw.

But Zhang Yan was not, after all, a true Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator.

Even the aftershocks were enough to injure him!
"puff!"

Zhang Yan was caught in the crossfire; his flying sword dimmed, and he was sent flying backward, spitting out blood.

Fortunately, he had the fourth-tier top-grade spirit armor on his body.

Add to that the illusion of lightning.

That's also possible; he's immune to some external forces, so Zhang Yan's injuries weren't serious.

Only the internal organs were shaken.

"Junior Brother Zhang!"

Lin Qingyue immediately caught Zhang Yan with the Kui Niu True Eye.

"cough!"

"Sister."

"It's now."

Zhang Yan fell into Lin Qingyue's arms, coughed up blood again, and said to her.

"it is good!"

Lin Qingyue returned the Kui Niu True Eye to Zhang Yan.

The power of heavy water permeated the area around him, and a passage immediately appeared in the swamp below.

"go!"

Lin Qingyue shouted, holding Zhang Yan in her arms, and addressed her three other junior brothers.

When Zhang Yan left behind the true eye of the Kui Niu.

He said just one sentence to her.

When Zhang Yan was confronting the mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, Lin Qingyue opened this passage.

shhhhhh!
The four Dharma Aspect Realm experts, along with Zhang Yan, disappeared into the passage.

The passage closed, and the surrounding mud rushed in, completely covering it.

This is an underwater swamp, which is quite unique.

Lin Qingyue's heavy water power is well-suited to opening a passage here.

"Ran away?"

Chen Xiao stood above the swamp, his face ashen.

Zhang Yan is in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

That would be enough to withstand an attack from a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator.

If Zhang Yan breaks through to the late Nascent Soul stage, perhaps even the mid-stage Dharma Aspect realm wouldn't be his match!

Such a prodigy, if he were allowed to grow up...

Chen Xiao couldn't even imagine how miserable he would be.

He can't escape.

A domineering voice came.

It was naturally that person, the mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator from the Human Race Dao Alliance.

He waved his hand, suppressing the aftershocks of the collision, and the power of annihilation was suppressed.

The vast difference in their levels of understanding is not something that can be easily bridged.

"Fellow Daoist Xu."

"We absolutely cannot let Zhang Yan get away!"

Chen Xiao said anxiously.

"Of course I know."

"but……"

The Xu-surnamed Dharma Aspect Realm expert smiled faintly, his gaze falling on the group from Divine Phoenix Valley.

Zhang Yan killed four Dharma Aspect Realm experts.

Now, only four Dharma Aspect Realm experts remain in Divine Phoenix Valley.

In the Five Great Competitions, there are no eternal friends.

"Fellow Daoist Xu..."

Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine, his expression changed slightly, and he took a few steps back.

If it were now...

If this person attacks Shenhuang Valley, they will absolutely be unable to resist.

The difference between the middle stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm and the early stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm is astonishing!

"Humph!"

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I will not attack you."

"But, from now on, we won't need you anymore."

"Your Divine Phoenix Valley can get out now!"

Xu, a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, waved his hand and spoke condescendingly.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the people from Divine Phoenix Valley turned pale and then flushed.

The magnificent Divine Phoenix Valley.

They were actually humiliated by the disciples of the Human Race Alliance!

It's an absolute disgrace.

"If only my senior brother were here!"

"How dare the mere Human Alliance be so arrogant?"

Chen Xiao thought angrily.

However, now, circumstances are beyond our control.

They could only bow their heads.

"Fellow Daoist Xu."

"We, the Divine Phoenix Valley, take our leave now. We look forward to meeting again!"

Chen Xiao left with a resentful remark.

However, with this person present, Zhang Yan was doomed to die.

But he remembered this grudge.

When the disciples of the Divine Weapon Pavilion gather in the future, they will surely avenge today's humiliation!
The disciples of Divine Phoenix Valley departed with the flowing light.

Above the swamp, only the members of the Human Alliance remained.

"Chase!"

Xu, a Dharma Realm expert, unleashed his Dharma form, directly lifting up the swamp and falling into it.

……

Inside the swamp.

The five people moved quickly along the passage.

However, the Human Alliance behind them has been relentlessly pursuing them.

At their speed, they simply couldn't create any distance between them.

"Young Master."

"He took a direct hit from a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator and only suffered minor injuries."

"If it weren't for us, Young Master could have left on his own."

The three Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators looked at Zhang Yan ahead and said with self-reproach.

They are now completely holding Zhang Yan back.

"Three senior brothers."

"Don't say things like that."

"Before leaving the sect, I promised my master that I would do my best to protect my fellow disciples."

"Now that I'm here, I'm here to take you all back safely!"

Zhang Yan took the healing pills and said firmly.

"Thank you, Young Master Xie."

The three Dharma Realm experts were deeply grateful.

But they've already made up their minds.

If there is truly no hope, they will die to create a way out for Zhang Yan.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"Is there really the key to turning the tide in this swamp, as you say?"

Lin Qingyue held Zhang Yan protectively in her arms and asked suspiciously.

"of course."

Zhang Yan's confident answer.

He came here because he sensed the aura of the third spirit sword.

Saving Lin Qingyue and the other three was actually a happy accident.

Zhang Yan has revealed all his trump cards, enabling him to contend with someone at the mid-stage of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

But if we want to truly reverse the situation...

We must obtain the third spirit sword.

"As long as I get it."

"The third spirit sword, unleash the Four Directions Annihilation Sword."

"Even if it's a mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator, I can still kill them with a single sword strike!"

Zhang Yan's eyes flickered.

This is not arrogance.

but facts.

He could wield both Four Spirit Swords, and with the Four Directions Annihilation Sword, he could contend against the mid-stage Dharma Aspect Realm cultivator surnamed Xu, despite being a major realm behind in cultivation.

Not to mention, he obtained the third Four Spirit Sword.

With each additional sword, the power of the Four Directions Annihilation Sword increases exponentially!

I thought to myself.

Zhang Yan's injuries have recovered considerably.

Only when Lin Qingyue held him in her arms did he realize how broad her heart was beneath her moon-white dress.

"Sister."

"You can let me go now."

Zhang Yan touched his nose and said somewhat awkwardly.

"I am protected by the power of heavy water."

"With you by my side, the speed will be one step faster."

Lin Qingyue replied.

Not only did they not separate, but they became even closer.

Zhang Yan glanced at Lin Qingyue's stunning profile. Although Lin Qingyue's eyes were clear, there was a faint blush at the base of her ears.

After all, she was an innocent female cultivator, and in the Divine Weapon Pavilion, she was a senior sister as aloof as the moon.

I have never been so close to a man before.

Zhang Yan did not mention it again.

The two continued their journey through the swamp.

Standing so close, Zhang Yan noticed the bloodstains on Lin Qingyue's dress.

Her originally moon-white dress was now stained with large patches of blood.

Moreover, it broke several times, which shows how brutal the battle Lin Qingyue had to endure before Zhang Yan arrived.

"Sister."

"Your blood will not be shed in vain."

"From now on, no one will be able to bully the disciples of my Divine Weapon Pavilion."

Touched, Zhang Yan spoke up.

"Ah."

Lin Qingyue smiled and nodded gently.

She was already extremely beautiful, but this smile made her even more captivating and breathtaking.

Even Zhang Yan's eyes showed a hint of amazement.

There seems to be a corpse ahead.

At this moment, Lin Qingyue suddenly spoke.

The swamp mud broke open, revealing a huge white bone, standing like a mountain in front of them.

These bones have not a trace of flesh or blood.

It is unknown how many days have passed since he died.

But the remains still contain a spiritual light, like a huge piece of white jade.

visible.

The skeleton must have been a powerful demon in life.

"Sister."

"What I want."

"It's inside this skeleton's body."

Zhang Yan sensed it again and spoke to Lin Qingyue.

The primordial energy within the two spirit swords was already surging.

The third spirit sword.

Close at hand.

"I see!"

Lin Qingyue's gaze was firm as she quickly continued to probe deeper into the gaps between the bones.

Even if I perish today.

She also wanted to help Zhang Yan get the items he desired.

Then, safely escort Zhang Yan out.

They opened another passage and the four of them went deep into the skeleton.

At this moment, everyone saw what was inside the skeleton.

This must be a giant snake demon; the skull alone is over 500 meters long.

The length of its entire body should exceed 10,000 meters.

Such a massive snake demon must possess terrifying power.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"Why are you able to possess such formidable combat power?"

Upon entering the skeleton, Lin Qingyue couldn't help but ask.

She had already come to terms with reality.

Perhaps today will be her death day.

Before she died, she wanted to resolve the biggest question in her heart.

"Since Senior Sister wants to know..."

"Then I will tell my senior sister."

"Actually, I am not a ninth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but a tenth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, a phenomenon unprecedented in all time."

Zhang Yan was taken aback, and answered Lin Qingyue softly.

"A tenth-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?"

Lin Qingyue looked on incredulously upon hearing this.

The Nine Revolutions Nascent Soul is the limit of the Nascent Soul stage, and many people have only heard of it.

Even seeing it with one's own eyes is extremely rare.

Not to mention, it has already formed its own cohesion.

Zhang Yan not only condensed a Nine-Turn Nascent Soul, but also surpassed the ninth turn, reaching an unprecedented tenth turn.

"Senior sister, please take a look."

To prove his point, Zhang Yan displayed his complete nascent soul phantom.

The nine-sided lotus platform shone brightly, incredibly mysterious, and the nascent soul sat cross-legged on it, his appearance solemn and dignified.

And the most amazing thing is...

Still behind the nascent soul's head, the vibrant three-colored spiritual ring exudes an obscure ancient charm, like the origin of heaven and earth, supreme and unparalleled.

"It really is a tenth-level rank..."

Lin Qingyue exclaimed in amazement.

Zhang Yan's nascent soul has one more spiritual ring than the ninth level, so what else could it be but the tenth level?
Upon learning of Zhang Yan's secret, Lin Qingyue was filled with shock and disbelief.

Simultaneously.

The idea of ​​protecting Zhang Yan became even more resolute.

Continuing deeper into the swamp, finally, a pitch-black body of water appeared before them.

In the water, a spirit sword could be faintly seen floating on the surface.

The power of heaven and earth lingers, vast and boundless.

"Xuanwu Guishui Sword!"

Zhang Yan only needed one glance to confirm the name of the sword.

The third of the four spirit swords left behind by the Four Spirit Swords Lord.

"Humph!"

"We've arrived here."

"I'd like to see where you can run to!"

At that moment, a cold snort came from the swamp behind them.

Lin Qingyue's expression changed drastically.

Although the spirit sword was found, the path ahead was blocked by the remains of the snake demon, leaving no way to escape.

"Junior Brother Zhang."

"You are the only one who has reached the tenth level of Nascent Soul cultivation."

"We must not perish here."

"I'll buy you some time. You take the spirit sword and find a way to escape!"

Lin Qingyue's eyes were red-rimmed as she parted from Zhang Yan, her gaze filled with resolute determination. (End of Chapter)
