The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Just then, a faint spirit appeared in the center of the pillar of light, leaving everyone utterly shocked and speechless with emotion.

The spirit was a red phantom, appearing and disappearing intermittently. Its long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, its eyes were slightly closed, and its exquisite features seemed to be the masterpiece of the Creator's divine craftsmanship. A lotus mark was imprinted in the center of its forehead, and every glance and smile could bewitch the world!

A faint sense of sorrow could be sensed within it.

The ghostly figure looked exactly like Chi Miao!

"This...this...this...Chi Miao has refined himself into it? This sorrow...it seems like the Weeping Sword, but it's not the Weeping Sword! Where is Chi Miao's Weeping Sword?!"

"What on earth is going on?!"

Others may not know, but the moment they sensed that hint of sadness, all those in the know frowned, their expressions turning grim.

Chi Miao... is still searching for the shadow of the Weeping Sword.

This sword spirit does not belong to the Weeping Sword. The Weeping Sword has been completely destroyed and there is no possibility of it being reborn. Even Chi Miao cannot do that.

This sword was forged from one of her nascent souls named "Xiao Ai". Although her nascent souls could not be completely identical to her, they shared her life and possessed all of her abilities, allowing them to exert seventy percent of her combat power.

In fact, it was no different from her refining herself into a weapon spirit.

By merging into this sword, this sword, which was already a semi-divine artifact, will naturally break through and become a divine artifact!

Moreover, it is absolutely the strongest and most invincible sword in the world!

Chi Miao smiled coldly, one hand gripping the sword hilt. The pattern on the hilt was specially made by Ying Wu Huo using special methods... a variant pattern of all their names.

Each line possesses a unique ability.

Ying Wuhuo's frost, Jin Shengfei's metal manipulation, Yu Wuxin's illusion and sound magic, Jingming's Buddhist teachings, Rong Xuanji's poison, and... Chi Miao's thunder.

Chi Miao held the sword in front of him, pointing it towards the sky, exuding an aura of invincibility.

"Sword Name—Peerless Prodigy!"

The moment the words fell, Chi Miao gently swung the sword, its energy sweeping across the surroundings, calming the world and dispelling all clamor!

When the sword of the prodigy is drawn, peace reigns throughout the land!

Everyone was awestruck by this aura. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that such a terrifying divine sword could exist in this world.

Zhan Wangtian, who had been full of confidence, swallowed hard, took a deep breath, and cursed, "Damn it."

"It's just a sword... it can't change your fate!"

As he spoke, Zhan Wangtian swiftly attacked Chi Miao. His spear contained an endless aura of devouring, tearing apart the surrounding void with astonishing destructive power.

Chi Miao remained motionless, standing on one foot as lightly as a dragonfly skimming the water, his sword flashing in the air. Just as the spear was about to strike, Chi Miao paused!

Stop the sword!

Sword tips clashed with spear tips, and the extreme energy burst forth, creating chaotic aftershocks that caused surrounding rocks to collapse and waves to splash!

Chi Miao scoffed, "Overestimating yourself."

With that, the tip of the sword flashed with colorful light, and natural spiritual energy transformed into a huge shockwave that engulfed Zhan Wangtian, sending him flying hundreds of feet away! Crashing through countless mountains!

Just as he was about to stop, Chi Miao's figure flashed behind him like a ghost. Before he could even react, Chi Miao thrust his sword at him!

The sword light formed tens of thousands of sword shadows, causing cracks to appear in the heavens and earth!

"Heaven and Earth Sword Intent!"

With a screech, the sword light danced like a dragon and a snake, slaying the arrogant Zhan Wangtian with a brutal and merciless attack!

Zhan Wangtian's physical body shattered on the spot, leaving not even a trace!

Chi Miao did not sheath his sword, but simply laughed and said, "I told you, if you force me to draw my sword, you won't even last a single move."

It was at this moment that Zhan Wangtian's soul tried to escape.

Chi Miao's sword flew out and pierced directly into Zhan Wangtian's head, pinning him to the high mountain.

"You weren't given the right to run away, so don't make things difficult for yourself."

Everyone was blown away by Chi Miao's amazing move!

Was this battle exciting? No, it wasn't.

Why?

Because the battle was one-sided from the very beginning, it was over before they even had a chance to cheer!

Even when people of the same realm are fighting, it takes hundreds or even thousands of exchanges to see the difference in their abilities. Yet, this battle between a Mahayana cultivator and a Tribulation Transcending cultivator ended in the blink of an eye.

The key point... is that the Mahayana stage cultivator can instantly kill the Tribulation stage cultivator!

This is an act of rebellion against the Heavenly Generals!

"Chi Miao... she's terrifyingly powerful. No wonder the ten major sects wanted to support her in becoming the Human Emperor. With such combat strength... is there anyone in this world who could defeat her?!"

"This is terrifying... To possess such combat power at such a young age! We've all witnessed how powerful Zhan Wangtian was, yet he was instantly defeated by Chi Miao. It's simply unbelievable!"

"Is Chi Miao really only at the Mahayana stage? Not the Tribulation Transcending stage?!"

"But what is Chi Miao still standing there for? Isn't he going to sacrifice Zhan Wangtian into the Human Emperor Banner?"

Chi Miao smiled and approached Zhan Wangtian, "Do you know why I'm not in a hurry to sacrifice you into the Human Emperor's Banner?"

Zhan Wangtian's eyes widened and his teeth clenched: "Kill me or torture me, it's up to you!"

Chi Miao: "That's too easy on you. And do you think I don't know? You've established a special connection with the Sin of All Living Beings, a causal relationship. If anything happens to you, the Sin of All Living Beings can use this causal relationship to break the independence of Miaohua Continent, making everything we've achieved go to waste?"

Zhan Wangtian tensed up, his fists clenched, and his back arched instinctively: "You... what did you say? I don't understand what you're saying."

Chi Miao laughed: "Don't think that your little tricks are foolproof and that no one knows about them. In reality, you've been completely used as a pawn."

"Don't worry... I'm sparing your life today not to kill you, but... to make a deal with you, so you can see clearly who you should truly follow."

Zhan Wangtian sneered, "You think I'd believe your nonsense?"

Chi Miao: "Believe it or not, it's up to you. I don't expect you to believe me. After all, on one side is the former Heavenly Dao of Miaohua Continent, and on the other side is just an ordinary young girl."

Chi Miao's eyes were filled with a hint of mockery as he stared at Zhan Wangtian's eyes for a while before speaking again.

"Want to know why I can unleash such terrifying combat power at the Mahayana stage? The Sin of All Living Beings probably didn't tell you my identity, did it?"

At this point, Chi Miao gave a mysterious smile, making Zhan Wangtian stare at her as she paced back and forth. Then, seeing her turn around, she paused slightly.

Chi Miao turned her head to look at her:

"Don't you think I look exactly like that person you call 'the adult'?"
