Immortals of the End Times

Hua Lengyun suddenly made her move, unleashing her domineering sword intent like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, carrying the force to shatter mountains and break peaks.

He did not use any sword energy; the sword intent contained only in his divine sense was so solid that it cut through the surrounding air with a fierce whistling sound.

Zhao Wuji's pupils shrank sharply, the ground beneath his feet cracked with a hissing sound, and his full head of black hair danced wildly under this powerful aura.

However, in that instant, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a Tai Chi phantom appeared deep within the Sword River.

As the yin-yang fish rotated, the yin-yang sword intent transformed into a Tai Chi diagram that outlined itself in the void, peeling away the domineering sword intent layer by layer, like unraveling a cocoon.

"The Yin-Yang Sword Intent has indeed received three-tenths of the true teachings from Master Zhang in the Sword Tomb, and there's also the strength of your divine sense."

A hint of surprise appeared on Hua Lengyun's cold and stern face, but suddenly the blood moon spun deep within his double pupils, and his double pupils suddenly split into four lobes, like blooming blood-red datura.

"Ninefold Eye Realm!"

boom! !

Zhao Wuji felt a violent tremor in his sea of ​​consciousness, the scene before him shattered like a mirror, and his body fell as if into the nine layers of hell.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in an endless dark void.

boom! !

A domineering sword that spanned the heavens and earth descended from the ninth heaven. Before the sword's edge even arrived, its sharp sword energy had already cut his cheek painfully.

"Double Pupil Illusion?!"

Zhao Wuji was startled.

This supreme secret technique within the double pupils of the royal bloodline could not even be awakened by the illusory head on his face.

But at this moment, it was easily obtained by the other party.

Moreover, Hua Lengyun's divine sense pressure was as deep as the ocean, almost touching the threshold of the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and he had probably condensed two extremely powerful divine sense cores.

This is the true foundation of the "invincible below the Golden Core" cultivator that the Wang family has devoted so much effort to cultivating.

Its terror level even surpasses that of Luo Zhan from the Immortal Martial Sect!
The moment the shadow of the domineering sword enveloped the heavens and earth, the four core divine senses within Zhao Wuji's body trembled simultaneously.

If the Heavenly Ancestor of the South were to unleash his Golden Core divine sense and Golden Core power, the predicament could be broken.

But his inherent pride made him even more eager to verify just how much combat power a person at the peak of the Mind Concentration Realm could possess.

"Here comes the sword!"

In the Dark Realm of Double Pupils, a clear and melodious sword cry suddenly rang out, and Zhao Wuji's figure instantly became ethereal, transforming into thousands of dazzling sword lights.

The Nirvana Sword Intent soared into the sky.

Layer upon layer of sword energy poured down like the Milky Way from the heavens, colliding violently with the domineering sword that traversed the sky.

In an instant, swords rained down like a waterfall, and sword light flashed like a dragon.

Just like the Milky Way hanging upside down and crashing against the top of Tianshan Mountain, illuminating the entire dark void with a bright light.

"Sword light splits apart!?"

The blood moon shone brightly in Hua Lengyun's double pupils, and the sword intent of the Overlord Sword was like a raging sea, crushing layer upon layer of sword light.

However, the Nirvana Sword Intent is like an immortal fire phoenix, reborn again and again from the shattering. The myriad sword energies that split from the sword light actually outlined the Yin-Yang fish pattern in the void, endlessly regenerating.

Even the triple sword intent within it has begun to erode the Overlord Sword Intent and Hua Lengyun's mind.

"Sword light splits!? Complete concentration?"

Mo Wenjian, who was watching from the sidelines, looked horrified.

Although the two did not move physically, they were merely exchanging blows in their minds.

However, as a master of swordsmanship, he could clearly perceive this extraordinary clash of sword intents.

In his divine perception.
Zhao Wuji transformed into a dazzling sword light, each split sword aura containing a completely different sword intent:
At first, it was like a banished immortal ascending to heaven, carefree and unrestrained;

Then it was as if I had fallen into the deepest abyss, a profound and hopeless despair.
But at the very end of destruction, a glimmer of rebirth bursts forth!

Such exquisite differentiation of sword intent.
Mo Wenjian was shocked: even among the seven sword masters of the Qilin Sword Sect, only the Holy Qilin could barely reach that level!

In comparison, Zhao Wuji's breakthrough to the Perfected Spirit Condensation realm seemed less astonishing.

"Whoosh!!"

In the dark space, Zhao Wuji's myriad sword energies suddenly converged, condensing into a shadowy longsword whose reality was difficult to discern.

Where the sword's edge points.
The domineering sword collapsed like a mountain!

The Ninefold Realm of Eyes shattered like a mirror!

"Humph!"

Hua Lengyun groaned and retreated violently, forcibly annihilating the pupil realm, barely managing to isolate the deepest despairing essence of the Nirvana Sword Intent.

In that despairing illusion, he seemed to see:
Her daughter, Hua Qingshuang, died tragically. She herself could never escape the tragic fate of being enslaved by Wang Wujiang and the Hua clan for generations.
"Do not!!"

With a low shout, the last blood moon in his eyes, about to bloom, was forcibly suppressed.

The figure staggered back a step, and the dark space receded like a tide.

In the wilderness, the two reappear.

Zhao Wuji's black hair flew wildly, his eyes flashed like lightning, and he stared at the Lord of the Overlord Sword who had taken a step back.

The earth-shattering clash just now, though it did not damage a single blade of grass or tree, had already exhausted thirty percent of his divine sense—leaving seven-tenths of his strength unused.

But he also glimpsed in Hua Lengyun's eyes the ultimate blood moon that had not yet bloomed.
"As expected of the Peak Master's father," Zhao Wuji thought to himself in astonishment, "to have cultivated the Overlord Double Pupils to such a level."

Looking at the entire Wang family, there are probably only two family heads who are superior in pupil techniques!
"call!"

Hua Lengyun exhaled a long breath, the bloodshot in her eyes gradually fading, and looked at Zhao Wuji with a complicated expression: "Your cultivation has indeed improved astonishingly."

He slowly nodded, his voice low: "Especially your swordsmanship, it's already above mine. Qing Shuang, you didn't misjudge me."

"Senior has given you too much praise."

Zhao Wuji bowed solemnly, "Your Overlord Double Pupils are truly astonishing."

Changing the subject, his gaze became intense: "Now, could you tell me how you broke Wang Wujiang's Blood Talisman Technique back then?"

Hua Lengyun glanced at Mo Wenjian, whose face was filled with shock, and said in a deep voice:

"My method is very simple!"

"Personally carve out your own spine, let it merge with the blood talisman, and then reshape new bones!"

"what?!"

Zhao Wuji and Mo Wenjian both changed color at the same time.

"The spine is where a cultivator's spiritual potential resides, you..."

"Hehehe"

A maniacal, bloodthirsty light flashed in Hua Lengyun's double pupils: "All you need is to replace it with a blood relative."

His voice suddenly turned cold: "What my Hua clan has in abundance is brave warriors willing to die for our clan!"

"Wang Wujiang now believes he still controls me."

"Little did they know, that was nothing more than the backbone of one of my nephews!"

Mo Wenjian frowned slightly upon hearing this, as an elder of the Qilin Sword Sect.

He actually disliked this kind of evil magic, but it was the Hua family's own choice, and he had no right to interfere.

"pity."

Hua Lengyun's eyes were icy as she stared directly at Zhao Wuji: "The Azure Frost Golden Elixir has already been tainted by the Blood Talisman, unless..."

A glint flashed in his eyes: "Destroy the Golden Core!" "Tell Qing Shuang that if she can destroy her own Golden Core at a crucial moment, she can not only break free from that old dog's control, but also turn against its master! Perhaps this will be a great opportunity!"

"A discarded pill?"

Zhao Wuji frowned.

From Hua Lengyun's resolute gaze, he clearly saw
Clan missions are more important than blood ties and kinship!
In the face of the Hua family's grand scheme, anyone can be sacrificed, including her daughter and even herself.

It cannot be said that Hua Lengyun did not love Hua Qingshuang, but his family mission was more important, and that's exactly what he did.

“Those who achieve great things don’t stick to trivial matters!”

Seemingly sensing Zhao Wuji's thoughts, Hua Lengyun said coldly, "If we don't act decisively, that old dog will use Qing Shuang to advance to the Nascent Soul stage and completely control Xiang Yu's head."

"At that time, not only will Qing Shuang be unable to save us, but my Hua clan will also be doomed!"

Beside him, Mo Wenjian frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is indeed a solution, although it is a bit cruel for Hua Qingshuang. After her core is shattered, she will almost never have any hope of condensing her core again in this lifetime."

But it was indeed her only way to save herself.
But in my opinion, with Wang Wujiang's cunning and deep-rooted nature, how could he not guard against this only way to save himself?
"I'm afraid that right now, Hua Qingshuang can't even shatter her own core; she can only rely on external forces."

Before he could finish speaking, their eyes were already fixed on Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji understood immediately. This "external force" could only be his.

He already had a plan in mind, but it was a secret and he couldn't say it out loud.

Making the peak master shatter his core was indeed a brilliant move, but...
Why must the elixir be truly shattered?

Perhaps an inner-view golden elixir could be used as a substitute.

Anyway, it's normal for inner-realm golden elixir to break into pieces; in fact, it's healthier if it breaks.

Zhao Wuji had shattered his core before and already had experience with it.

The key is
How can the blood talisman be transferred to the inner golden elixir without anyone noticing?

He already has a clue about this.

If this plan succeeds.
With the assistance of the peak master, Yin Wang Wujiang could intervene at a crucial moment, such as when Wang Wujiang thought he had fully refined the three elements, or at the critical moment of undergoing tribulation and condensing his nascent soul.
If the peak master were to suddenly shatter his inner golden core, that old ghost would definitely suffer a great loss!

That will be his chance to completely annihilate that old devil Wang Wujiang and then take Xiang Yu's head.

Then, support the peak master to take the throne, use the name of the Hua family to completely control the Wang family, and take over the two fourth-level spiritual veins to lay the foundation for future breakthroughs to the Nascent Soul stage!

Zhao Wuji's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his mind racing.

Hua Lengyun and Mo Wenjian thought he was deep in thought and waited silently.

After figuring out the key point, Zhao Wuji immediately said to the two, "I can tell the peak master how to do it, and I can also help the peak master shatter his core at the critical moment."

But there are some places where we still need your help!

"Speak!" Hua Lengyun said succinctly.

"I want it," Zhao Wuji said, his eyes blazing. "Senior's insights into the Overlord's Double Pupils!"

Hua Lengyun was taken aback, then nodded meaningfully, "It seems you once unleashed the Overlord's True Intent, which is strange."

"You are not of the Hua clan bloodline, yet you have comprehended the true meaning of Xiang Yu's power. It seems you once obtained Xiang Yu's true blood from somewhere?"

"That's it!"

He nodded slightly. "Considering Qing Shuang's favor towards you, I can share my insights on the Overlord's Double Pupils with you!"

After saying that, he suddenly pressed a finger to his brow, and his divine sense condensed his own active understanding of the Overlord's Double Pupils, which became a dazzling stream of light that shot straight to Zhao Wuji's brow!
After receiving this divine thought, Zhao Wuji didn't have time to carefully comprehend it, and his gaze turned to Mo Wenjian.

"Kid, the way you're looking at me, you're definitely trying to rip me off again."

Mo Wenjian felt a headache coming on from being stared at.

Zhao Wuji smiled enigmatically, "Elder Mo, you wouldn't want the horse to run fast but also not want it to eat grass, would you?"

"That's all."

Mo Wenjian helplessly spread his hands. "Speak, what do you want?"

Zhao Wuji, never one to mince words, said, "I also want ten Sword Heart Pills."

"What!?" Mo Wenjian's hair and beard bristled, and he almost jumped up to give Zhao Wuji a good whack on the head, wondering what kind of nonsense was going on in his head.

"Do you think the Sword Heart Pill is as easy to obtain as cabbage? I've said it before, this pill is extremely difficult to refine, and the Sword Fruit alone is very precious. How could I possibly give you ten more? Even one more would be the limit."

"One?"

Zhao Wuji shook the jade bottle containing two Sword Heart Pills in his hand and shook his head, saying, "One is not enough. If we don't have Sword Heart Pills, any other pills or spiritual treasures that can quickly improve cultivation will do!"

"What are you doing?"

Mo Wenjian was taken aback. "What do you want to do? Increase your strength? Even if I gave you so many spiritual items, you couldn't possibly refine them quickly. Besides, consuming too many will create a bottleneck, you..."

"Elder Mo!" Zhao Wuji interrupted him, "I just need you to confirm whether to give it or not. I need supplies equivalent to ten Sword Heart Pills."

"This is impossible!"

Mo Wenjian shook his head with a wry smile, "Even if you have made great contributions, the sect has already given you five Sword Heart Pills as the limit. How could they possibly give you more?"

Zhao Wuji said in a deep voice, "If I can guarantee that with these resources I can break through to the Golden Core stage within three years, help in dealing with Wang Wujiang, and assist Peak Master Hua in breaking through to the Golden Core stage."

These contributions should be enough to warrant these supplies, right?

"You young people are truly fearless, full of youthful vigor and daring to say anything."

Mo Wenjian pondered for a moment and shook his head. "It still won't work, young friend Zhao. How can something that hasn't been accomplished be counted?"
Even though you helped Hua Qingshuang shatter her elixir and disrupted Wang Wujiang's plan, this still needs to be accomplished to obtain resources.

He sighed, "At most, I can use this as an excuse to help you get another Sword Heart Pill."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Zhao Wuji's eyes.

Indeed, he was confident, but he was hard to convince people.

Putting yourself in his shoes, if he were Mo Wenjian, he probably wouldn't easily believe such bold words either.

unless
He's willing to reveal the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques!

The inner core of the Golden Elixir has been exposed!

But he must not easily reveal these trump cards to others.

The secret of the Nine Yin Nine Yang Pearls is now known, and he is not the only one who knows it.

The Qilin Sword Sect, a behemoth with such a long history, might very well be recorded in the Yin-Yang Strategy, just like Zhang Sanfeng, which might reveal some clues.

However, without sufficient resources, breaking through to the Golden Core stage in a short period of time becomes a pipe dream.

If we can condense the second golden core as soon as possible.
Then
Why wait another three years?

Why give Wang Wujiang the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage?
He seized Xiang Yu's head with swift and decisive action, took control of the royal family's spiritual veins, and nipped the threat in the bud!
The initiative will be entirely in his hands!
Unfortunately, this requires a lot of resources to support and accelerate.

"While I cannot provide all of these resources, I can offer some support."

Just then, Hua Lengyun suddenly said, "Although I haven't been able to get the support of the Wang family's spiritual veins to break through to the Golden Core stage all these years!"
But handling some troublesome matters for the Wang family did accumulate some wealth! Although not as much as you claim, it should still be enough to make up for some of it!

Zhao Wuji's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Hua Lengyun.

"Don't look at me like that."

Hua Lengyun's lips curled up slightly, a glint of light flashing in his double pupils: "I only saw extraordinary talent and ambition in you! So I'll trust Qing Shuang's judgment this time."

Mo Wenjian was taken aback upon hearing this. The image of Zhao Wuji's extraordinary swordsmanship flashed through his mind, and he recalled how he had defied all opposition to bring Zhao Wuji into the sect.

Why don't you believe him now?
"Oh well, never mind!"

Mo Wenjian sighed deeply, and with a flick of his sleeves, a jade bottle flew out: "This is a Sword Heart Pill that I've treasured for many years. I originally planned to use it when I broke through to the Golden Core stage during the spiritual energy revival. I'm betting it on you! You absolutely can't let me lose money!"
