Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 21 Peerless Swordsmanship: One Sword Shatters Eternity

"Master is indeed generous, bestowing upon us another top-grade innate spiritual treasure."

A deep sense of envy flashed in Duobao's eyes, but it quickly subsided.

Although the superior-grade immortal sword is powerful, the senior brother has not been cultivating the sword path for very long.

Defeating Guang Chengzi within three sword strikes is extremely difficult, practically impossible.

"Brother Guangchengzi, you'd better be careful."

Zhao Gongming gave a soft shout, raised his immortal sword, leaped into the air, and slashed down at Guang Chengzi!

The unparalleled sword aura contained within it, and the terrifying sword energy slashed fiercely at Guang Chengzi's Bagua Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe.

"boom!"

Where the sword energy landed, a huge explosion erupted.

The terrifying aftershocks of the magic, like waves crashing against the shore, came one after another, causing everyone to involuntarily retreat.

Soon, the magical fluctuations dissipated, and everyone could see the result of the sword strike.

Guang Chengzi remained unmoved, as if an old tree had taken root.

The purple robe adorned with the Eight Trigrams remained completely undamaged despite the power of the sword energy, radiating a shimmering purple light.

Although Zhao Gongming's sword strike was powerful, it did not cause any real harm to Guang Chengzi.

Even so, this sword strike drew continuous gasps of amazement from the surrounding crowd.

"I never expected that Senior Brother Gongming would actually comprehend sword intent!"

"Although the sword technique is powerful, Senior Brother Guangchengzi's strength is still much greater than Senior Brother Gongming's."

"If Brother Gongming had the same cultivation level as Guang Chengzi, he would definitely be able to break through his defenses."

"Two thousand years to comprehend sword intent, Senior Brother Gongming has such amazing swordsmanship talent!"

Duobao, Jinling, and the Three Immortals were equally shocked that Zhao Gongming had already comprehended the sword intent.

But the next moment, I felt a pang of regret.

Zhao Gongming's sword strike just now was incredibly powerful; it could probably even pose a threat to a peak Golden Immortal cultivator.

Unfortunately, he encountered Guang Chengzi, whose cultivation level was much higher than his, so it was completely ineffective.

Now, one of the three swords has been used, leaving only two swords.

If one relies solely on the realm of sword intent, it would be extremely difficult to injure Guang Chengzi with the remaining two sword strikes.

"Brother Gongming."

The three Xiaos looked even more worried.

"Two thousand years to comprehend the realm of sword intent. I must say, your talent in swordsmanship is indeed outstanding. However, if you only have sword intent, you cannot harm me."

Guang Chengzi, believing he had grasped Zhao Gongming's trump card, wore a smug smile.

After this great battle, his position as the chief of the Xuanmen sect will likely be as secure as Mount Tai from now on.

I'll have to thank Zhao Gongming properly then.

Zhao Gongming remained calm and composed, showing no change whatsoever.

He nodded slightly to Guang Chengzi, and then continued.

"Next is the second sword strike, Brother Guangchengzi, please pay attention."

After Zhao Gongming finished speaking, he raised the immortal sword in his hand again.

Strands of sharp sword energy swirled around the immortal sword, constantly cutting through the void.

Even from a distance, you can feel a chill emanating from it.

It felt like my skin was being cut by sword energy, and it was extremely painful.

Guang Chengzi did not pay attention to what Zhao Gongming said.

Two thousand years ago, Zhao Gongming's ability to comprehend the realm of sword intent was already a testament to his exceptional talent.

However, relying solely on swordsmanship, at most, Zhao Gongming's combat strength could only be raised to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm.

The first sword strike was unexpected, yet it still couldn't harm him.

He didn't believe Zhao Gongming could pull off any tricks.

"boom!!!"

Zhao Gongming raised his immortal sword and slashed down with lightning speed.

The moment the immortal sword fell, an extremely terrifying sword intent swept outwards in all directions.

Under the powerful sword intent, almost everyone was about to be swallowed up by this powerful sword intent.

"This aura...it's bad!"

Guang Chengzi felt a chill run down his spine and knew in his heart that something was wrong.

All his magical power surged into the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe.

The purple celestial robe suddenly shone brightly, and the rich purple divine light finally collided with the sword energy!

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, even the superior-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe, was cleaved three inches in by this sword strike imbued with sword intent.

Of course, after penetrating only three inches, the sword energy drooped weakly and dissipated completely.

Even so, it terrified Guang Chengzi, leaving him speechless as he pointed at Zhao Gongming.

"You... you've actually grasped the essence of swordsmanship!"

Guang Chengzi also had some knowledge of swordsmanship.

He was very clear about the three realms of swordsmanship: sword momentum, sword intent, and sword heart.

What else could Zhao Gongming's sword strike just now be but the realm of sword intent?

How could someone who has cultivated for two thousand years possibly comprehend sword intent!

Guang Chengzi recalled the scene of becoming a disciple on Kunlun Mountain years ago.

At that time, Zhao Gongming was clearly holding a steel whip.

In retrospect, it seems that Zhao Gongming was clearly concealing his swordsmanship skills back then, preparing to make a name for himself.

"What a deep scheming mind."

Guang Chengzi was wary, but at the same time, he relaxed.

At the Golden Immortal realm, Zhao Gongming's ability to comprehend the realm of sword intent is already a rare top-tier talent in the primordial world.

Next, Zhao Gongming had absolutely no other options and could only obediently admit defeat.

There were no other sounds around Zhao Gongming, only exclamations of amazement and astonishment.

Sword intent is easier to comprehend; many Kunlun disciples have already grasped the realm of sword intent.

So when Zhao Gongming unleashed his sword technique, everyone thought it was nothing special, at most praising Zhao Gongming's talent.

However, the realm of sword intent is not so easy to comprehend.

Of all the Kunlun disciples present, only Guang Chengzi managed to touch it.

As for the others, they are still quite far from reaching the realm of sword intent.

"Junior Brother Gongming, there's one last sword strike left. Use it quickly and let your senior brother see how much of your swordsmanship you've inherited from your master."

After deflecting Zhao Gongming's two sword strikes, Guang Chengzi's face revealed unprecedented confidence.

He's determined to become the chief disciple of the Xuanmen sect; no one can stop him.

Zhao Gongming suddenly smiled and nodded.

"Alright, now for the final sword strike, Brother Guangchengzi, please watch carefully."

With a flick of Zhao Gongming's wrist, the immortal sword trembled slightly.

Then, an indescribable sense of crisis surged into everyone's hearts.

Everyone felt as if their hearts were being squeezed by a fist, and even taking a breath was as difficult as climbing to heaven.

His eyes widened to an unprecedented degree, and this aura was the power only found in the third realm of swordsmanship, the Sword Heart.

An invisible aura of swordsmanship slowly emanated from Zhao Gongming.

The immortal sword hummed and slashed through the air at an extremely strange angle, heading straight for Guang Chengzi.

This sword strike was unremarkable, and the sword energy it emitted was even weaker than the first sword strike.

But the sense of threat it posed to Guang Chengzi far surpassed that of the previous two sword strikes, making his hair stand on end and cold sweat pour down his face.

"Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe!"

He shouted loudly and activated the Eight Trigrams Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe to its fullest extent.

A rich purple light spread out, transforming into a three-foot-wide domain.

Guang Chengzi was completely wrapped up inside!
