Borrowing a sword

Chapter 336 Chu Huai's Preface, Borrowing a Sword!

The Ancestral Emperor rose into the air, high above, looking down at Chu Huaixu.

He held his former natal artifact, the Emperor Moon, in his hand, his eyes majestic, yet also carrying a sinister, underworld-like quality.

This old man, who had almost successfully possessed Chu Huaixu's body, believed himself to be extremely familiar with it, knowing it inside and out.

But in just a few days, his physical strength has become so much stronger!

It's almost twice as strong!
This will undoubtedly make him both more eager and more frustrated!

"Such a fine vessel should belong to me! It should belong to me!"

The competition officially began, and Chu Huaixu immediately swung his sword sheath without hesitation, unleashing all 21 sword energies stored within [Calming the Waves].

Twenty-one powerful sword energies shot into the sky. He hid behind the sword energies and leaped up, trying to find an opportunity to strike.

Sword energy converged at the fingertips, and the perfected [Six Out of Horizon] slashed upwards.

The power of the two sword hearts within his body was simultaneously activated, and the might of the [Heart Sword] attacked Qin Xuanxiao's sea of ​​consciousness!

He had actually thought about it long ago. If he could find an opportunity to sever Qin Xuanxiao's soul, it might be a chance to win!
Comparatively speaking, the soul of this world's protagonist is definitely easier to slay than the four strands of divine consciousness carrying fortune!

The force generated by the collision of the spear energy and the sword energy spread outwards, making even the great cultivators among the onlookers feel a little frightened!
The senior repairmen sitting on the high platform were even more perceptive.

Some people couldn't help but speak up, their voices filled with utter horror.

"Two sword hearts!?"

"How can he have two sword hearts!"

Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!

Yet, he exuded two completely different sword spirits.

One of the sword hearts possessed an incomparably clear power, seemingly devoid of any characteristics, clean and pure, carrying no attributes whatsoever, quite similar to the [attributeless] spiritual power within Lin Zixuan's body.

Yet it has already reached the terrifying state of sword mind clarity!

Looking across the entire Xuanhuang Realm, those with a clear and enlightened sword heart are few and far between.

The person before them was merely at the third realm of cultivation.

What monstrous talent for swordsmanship!

As for his other sword heart, it has already reached a minor level of mastery.

This sword heart is even more special.

When it displays its divine power, even the natal swords of some low-level sword cultivators below will tremble involuntarily!
The sword cultivators from the four major sects couldn't help but recall the strange phenomena that occurred on the night they first arrived in the capital.

That night, the sword spirit showed unusual behavior, as if it had submitted to a certain being. The sword trembled as if it were worshipping!

Now, the answer is undoubtedly there.

All the strange phenomena originated from the Chu Huai Preface!

The sword strike he unleashed at that moment made everyone realize that, although he had seemed to be holding back when dealing with Leng Wuyai and the others from the Moon Kingdom, he had actually been holding back considerably.
This sword strike today is far, far stronger than that one!
At this moment, Chu Huaixu also personally experienced the terror of Heaven-level magic for the first time.

[Emperor Moon] The spear moved.

He started with a Heavenly-level spear technique—[Azure Moon Across the River]!
The twenty-one sword energies were instantly destroyed. Chu Huaixu had leaped behind the Ancestral Emperor and unleashed this sword strike, but the opponent did not turn his head and directly blocked it backward.

The old monster he faced was someone who had fought for half his life.

His combat experience is quite formidable.

The only advantage they have now is that they've been "wandering ghosts" for far too long.

So much so that these so-called experiences are from hundreds of years ago.

But once he gets more and more used to it, things will become increasingly tricky.

Chu Huaixu was cleaved down from mid-air by this spear.

However, Qin Xuanxiao's body, which was standing in the air, was also knocked away in mid-air.

The first round of the match was evenly matched.

After regaining his footing, the Ancestral Emperor looked down from the air and said, "How many times can you use such a sword strike?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the purple moon phantom behind him instantly became even more solid!
A continuous flow of national fortune poured in from all directions, providing him with sustenance.

That alone puts him in an invincible position.

"I will kill you today!"

"I want to see how you survived this time, after you narrowly escaped death in the Imperial Pool that day!" the Ancestral Emperor thought to himself.

[Di Yue] began to emit bursts of purple light, and the purple moon behind him began to scatter purple moonlight in all directions!
The heavens and earth seemed to change color!
The light snow that keeps falling from the sky melts as soon as it touches this area.

No one knows how arrogant he was, but he actually threw the spear in his hand directly!

A streak of purple light swept across the sky, seemingly capable of tearing it apart.

Purple electricity began to swirl around, even faster than Chu Huaixu's [Six Out of Horizon] which had been imbued with [Fearless Sword Intent].

Chu Huaixu knew that he could not expend his spiritual energy at will.

Once he runs out of mana, he's truly out of mana.

However, the other side can replenish its supplies through the nation's fortune.

Therefore, he now needs to rely on other means to wear down his opponent.

In fact, since a death match agreement had been reached, the rules of the so-called arena competition were no longer important.

Because the agreement to fight to the death is above such rules!

Chu Huaixu didn't care about anything else.

He didn't know how much luck the other party could attract.

But there must be an upper limit.

"Let's see if you can attract more luck, or if my Soul-Absorbing Pill can absorb more!"

Now that the bronze sword has already appeared and the evil energy has already manifested, there's no point in hiding the evil pill anymore.

The elixir containing the Four Symbols Spiritual Roots was taken out directly.

Chu Huaixu used the power of [Tao gives birth to one] to guide it, accurately blocking the spear!
The spear tip, carrying the power of rolling thunder, slammed into the translucent pill the size of a longan.

Strangely enough, the bead suspended in mid-air remained completely unmoved!
Instead, all the power contained within the [Emperor Moon] was absorbed by this pill.

The purple moon imprint behind the ancestral emperor emitted a continuous stream of purple light that flowed towards the spear, drifting downwards from the sky.

But once these forces converge at the tip of the spear, they will be devoured by the elixir!
On the high platform, many people looked surprised.

"What is this?"

"How can it contain such malevolent power!"

"It's even more solid than malevolent energy?"

Many discerning individuals could immediately tell that what was contained within the Elixir seemed to be a spiritual root!

This caused a huge uproar among the powerful cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm. How could there be spiritual roots from the Kunlun Grotto Heaven here?!

How could Chu Huaixu actually extract the spiritual root from a cultivator's body?
Moreover, it appears that the spiritual root is completely intact!

This is something none of them could do.

Including the Sword Master, all the cultivation giants couldn't help but use their divine sense to investigate the condition of this spiritual root.

However, once their divine senses touched the Demon Pill, they would be completely devoured, and nothing could be detected!

This only enraged Chu Huaixu!
"Damn it! What are you guys doing?!"

Isn't this a waste of my Chongdan's absorption limit?

Fortunately, everyone realized that it was consistent with the nature of evil spirits, so they stopped doing such a futile effort.

The ancestral emperor, who was flying, subconsciously retreated several feet in the air, keeping a distance from the evil pill.

It was this very object that absorbed all four strands of his divine sense back then!
He still had some fear of this thing.

In addition, the Ancestral Emperor knew in his heart: "This pill, like evil energy, can devour all things in heaven and earth."

Before it is "well-fed and watered," all means and efforts are in vain.

Now, let's see how much it can devour!

The Ancestral Emperor did indeed possess a single drop of sacred water.

However, he did not find his four strands of divine consciousness within this elixir.

This means that Chu Huaixu may still have one more Chongdan!
The one brought out this time was not the same one as last time!
"If he takes out the other pill, I can try to withdraw my divine sense, but I don't know if I can succeed."

The power of fortune, like purple moonlight, was continuously absorbed by the Chongdan.

As for the spear [Emperor Moon], it has already been taken back by the Ancestral Emperor.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Chu Huaixu leaped up again, his right arm instantly tearing open as he unleashed a sword strike called "Six-Out Strike"!
Without the blessing of destiny, this is now a pure battle between the two.

Overall, the ancestral emperor still had the upper hand.

Fortunately, Chu Huaixu's self-healing ability was quite formidable; he recovered while fighting and remained calm.

He kept getting injured, but he kept recovering.

Pain was as if it didn't exist for him.

This made the ancestral emperor realize that things were somewhat tricky.

He held the gun in his right hand and made a hand seal with his left: "Gather!"

An even more magnificent national destiny surged forth in an instant.

He seemed to be trying to feed the elixir to saturation as quickly as possible.

"How many of these pills do you have?" The voice boomed like thunder, descending from above.

"Who told you that I plan to solve the problem of fate entirely with the Chongdan pill?" Chu Huaixu said coldly.

This was just an experiment he was conducting.

If the Ancestral Emperor could absorb all the available fortune with the Elixir, that would be ideal.

If that doesn't work, he'll have no choice but to take a risk.

"Dao Ancestor, please don't betray me," Chu Huaixu silently prayed.

Soon, as the power of fortune actively flowed into the elixir, it was immediately saturated.

Chu Huaixu hadn't expected that Qin Xuanxiao's mere third-realm cultivation would limit the exertion of his luck power.

Such terrifying power is enough to fill his body with spiritual energy countless times!

The Ancestral Emperor let out a long laugh. He was waiting for Chu Huaixu to take out the Demon Pill containing four strands of divine thought, and then he would seize the opportunity to make his move.

However, the other party did not do so.

"what are you waiting for?"

"What are you expecting?" Chu Huaixu raised his head and gave him a mocking smile.

Then, he silently chanted in his mind—[Upgrade]!
More than eight million free experience points were consumed in an instant.

He directly raised his sword heart from the minor completion stage to the major completion stage!

But, can the [Ten Thousand Swords Return to One] technique, once it reaches its peak, kill the Ancestral Emperor?

actually not.

not enough! Far from enough!
The power of destiny is too heaven-defying, this problem cannot be solved, and Chu Huaixu is doomed to die today!

But what Chu Huaixu wanted was not his own sword heart power at all.

What he needs is the extraordinary phenomena that occur in the heavens and earth each time his sword heart breaks through!
From all directions, a cacophony of sword cries began to echo.

All the sword cultivators beside the arena looked on in horror, staring at their natal swords with disbelief!
The sword is surrendering!
Submit to the young man in the black and gold robe on the arena!

This time, the area covered by the phenomena after breaking through to the Great Perfection realm is naturally far greater than the last time.

During his last breakthrough, Chu Huaixu sensed the existence of a special sword within the capital.

A sword that serves as the core of the Imperial Capital's grand formation!

A sword carrying a great deal of the Moon Kingdom's fortune!

Within the secret realm left by the Dao Ancestor, Chu Huaixu retraced the path of borrowing swords and concluded that any sword he could sense was one he could borrow.

Therefore, he prayed in his heart, hoping that the Dao Ancestor's simulated path of borrowing the sword would not be a trap for him.

What he needs now is to use the [Original Power] within his body to make the sword heart break through and the two work together to create an anomaly, and then... perceive it!

—【The Sword That Protects the Nation】!!!
Chu Huaixu closed his eyes and quickly established a faint connection with the sword.

"Is that enough?" He was a little unsure at first.

But soon a familiar feeling washed over me.

"That's enough!" He already knew the answer in his heart.

"Use his way and give back to him!"

"You want to use the fortune of the Moon Kingdom to kill me? Today, I will use the fortune of the Moon Kingdom to kill you!" Chu Huaixu looked at the Ancestral Emperor in the sky and shouted loudly.

"A fool's dream!" the Ancestral Emperor sneered.

But soon, he couldn't help but frown.

Chu Huaixu opened his right hand.

The next moment, the entire capital city began to tremble.

—Sword, come!
Somewhere in the capital, a long sword burst from the ground, soared into the sky, and hurtled towards the martial arts arena.
