Chapter 58: The Fusion of Eight Intents Shocks Everyone; One Sword Annihilates Thirteen True Qi Grandmasters
At this moment.

Zhou Qing was enduring attacks from thirteen different realms of intent.

He unleashed eight different kinds of artistic conception power, but even he was on the verge of collapse under the attack of thirteen different kinds of artistic conception power.

However, Zhou Qing did not panic.

"Eight kinds of artistic conception power, merge!"

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Qing instantly merged the eight realms of intent: Vajra Intent, Sword Intent, Dripping Water Wears Away Stone Intent, Mountain Intent, Frozen Intent, Unfading Intent, Gale Intent, and Primordial Intent.

hum~~~
The fusion of the eight realms of intent immediately exuded an aura of 'truth'. The thirteen realms of intent that approached the fused primordial intent were instantly defeated and melted, just like ice and snow under the sun.

"These are... the power of eight realms of intent."

"How could this be? Didn't the Eagle Wolf Guard say that Zhou Qing only mastered the Primordial Chaos Intent and the Sword Dao? He clearly mastered eight kinds of intent power."

"The fusion of eight different realms of power creates a level of realism comparable to a realm that has reached the Transformation stage!"

"Just what kind of monster is Zhou Qing?!"

"escape!"

Seeing the Primordial Chaos Realm formed by the fusion of eight different realms of intent above Zhou Qing's head, the thirteen True Qi Grandmasters were all shocked and deeply moved.

When the artistic conception reaches the stage of transformation, it begins to transform from the abstract to the concrete.

Of course, the transformation from the abstract to the concrete here does not mean that it actually becomes real matter, but rather a semi-real stage. It allows the power of artistic conception to be imprinted on certain special materials, such as paintings and stone tablets, so that it will not disappear and can be understood by later generations.

Therefore, a master who has reached the stage of artistic conception is able to create divine intentions.

The power of intent at the Fusion Heaven stage still requires the Grandmaster's spiritual power as its source of support. Limited by the Grandmaster's spiritual power, without the Grandmaster's spiritual power to provide an energy source, the power of intent that is unleashed will quickly dissipate and leave no trace in the world.

This is the difference between the stage of "merging with the heavens" and the stage of "transforming the realm of artistic conception".

There is a fundamental difference between the two.

However, the aura emanating from Zhou Qing's fusion of the eight kinds of intent power already had a semi-realistic feel of the intent domain stage, which greatly shocked the thirteen True Qi Grandmasters present.

Zhou Qing's strength has far exceeded their expectations.

It possesses a power of intent comparable to that of the Transformation Realm stage.

This means that one can easily unleash the power of artistic conception to crush them.

Furthermore, since Zhou Qing has mastered eight kinds of intent power, it is very likely that he has also condensed eight kinds of true energy.

Faced with the blessing of eight kinds of true energy, they had no chance of winning.

"escape!"

The thirteen True Qi Masters immediately scattered in all directions.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing looked at them calmly, and his long sword was drawn. The Primordial Chaos Realm above his head transformed into a giant over ten feet tall, radiating eight kinds of light, holding a long sword formed from the eight kinds of light.

"Escape? Do you think you can escape?"

Zhou Qing's voice was cold and firm. He then raised his long sword and slashed at the thirteen True Qi Grandmasters.

The eight-colored giant, formed from the Primordial Chaos Realm, also slashed out with its long sword.

hum~~~
As the sword was unleashed, a long river of sword energy shot into the sky. Then, this river of sword energy split into thirteen sword rivers, rushing forward and slashing at the thirteen fleeing True Qi Grandmasters.

This is a move from the Tianhe Sword Technique.

The Heavenly River Sword Technique is a martial art of the innate level.

Acquired martial arts techniques focus more on the application of internal energy and moves, while innate martial arts techniques, in addition to true energy and moves, also involve the application of the power of intent. Cultivating innate martial arts techniques allows for greater versatility in the power of intent.

If Zhou Qing had not cultivated innate martial arts techniques such as the Heavenly River Sword Technique and the Vajra Slaying Blade, his application of the power of intent would have been very superficial. He would only use the power of intent to forcefully clash, which is equivalent to only using 'brute force'. However, after cultivating innate martial arts techniques, the power of intent can be 'alive' and change with the changes in moves, generating all sorts of incredible power.

The thirteen sword rivers that Zhou Qing unleashed each contained the power of eight different realms of intent, increasing the power of the sword rivers dozens of times, as if even heaven and earth could be cleaved apart by his sword.

The thirteen sword rivers, like thirteen dragons, with a destructive force, instantly caught up with the thirteen True Qi Grandmasters who were scattering and fleeing.

"Slaughtering Sword Qi!"

"The Finger of Withering and Flourishing!"

"Tide Palm!"

"Blazing Sky Blade!"

"..."

Faced with such a terrifying sword strike, the thirteen True Qi Grandmasters could only fight back with all their might, unleashing their True Qi and Intent power simultaneously.

With the blessing of True Qi, the power of intent can be enhanced at least three times, while a True Qi Grandmaster who has reached the sixth level of the Innate Realm can enhance it tenfold.

However, even though the power of intent released by the thirteen True Qi Grandmasters was enhanced by True Qi, increasing by at least three times and at most ten times, it was still as fragile as paper and utterly vulnerable in front of Zhou Qing's sword river, which was a fusion of eight intents.

With their spiritual power severed, the thirteen True Qi Grandmasters, though not completely destroyed, suffered mental trauma and were momentarily in a daze. Their bodies were instantly frozen in place, unable to move.

Although it was only a momentary daze, in a battle between experts, a momentary loss of focus is enough to cost them their lives. By the time they regained their consciousness, the river of swords, accompanied by the power of true qi, had already struck down, shattering their true qi.

"No!"

The thirteen True Qi Grandmasters all let out desperate roars.

Faced with Zhou Qing's sword strike, even though the thirteen True Qi Grandmasters tried their best to defend, they still could not escape being struck by the sword river.

With a series of shrill screams, the figures of the thirteen True Qi Grandmasters vanished beneath the Sword River, leaving only wisps of blood mist drifting in the air.

Zhou Qing sheathed his sword and stood there, looking at everything in front of him with a cold gaze, as if everything that had just happened was just a trivial matter.

quiet!
At the Zhanzhou city wharf, thousands of people had gathered, but upon witnessing this scene, the entire world seemed to fall into a deathly silence.

Everyone's eyes widened.

This is no ordinary cat or dog, but a True Qi Grandmaster. Looking across the entire state, apart from the imperial court, there are only one or two True Qi Grandmasters.

However, Zhou Qing annihilated thirteen True Qi Grandmasters with a single sword strike.

"This……"

"Am I seeing things? Is this Zhou Qing's true strength?"

"With one sword, Zhou Qing killed thirteen True Qi Grandmasters, including a True Qi Grandmaster at the sixth level of the Innate Realm. With such achievements, Zhou Qing is qualified to be ranked on the Earth Ranking."

"..."

Someone muttered to themselves, their voice tinged with disbelief.

Thirteen True Qi Grandmasters joined forces to hunt down Zhou Qing. Before they made their move, no one believed that Zhou Qing had any chance of winning.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qing not only won, but won overwhelmingly, killing thirteen True Qi Grandmasters with just one sword strike.

This was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
