The overbearing Tyrant Blade, the fleeting Swift Blade, and the enigmatic Trickster Blade.
Each blade technique showcased in turn, their blades and shadows dancing across the plain from one end to the other.
"You... are quite good," Xie Changliu said, speaking up first.
Xu Zii smiled, the blade in his hand bursting forth with formidable might, and brought it heavily down.
It was ti to conclude this pure contest of the blade and sword.
His gaze cutting across, where his eyes landed, the blade's edge followed.
As the trendous force exploded forth, Xie Changliu's figure kept retreating.
He thrust his longsword into the ground, retreating over ten ters, the Earth marked by a long, deep sword scar.
Only then did he slowly co to a stop.
He stood upright, his proud fra standing tall, his gaze leveled forward as he twirled a sword flower in hand.
"Not asking about the years, let the wind sing," he murmured softly.
He then fell backwards, his sword making a large circle above his head and erupting with Heaven Shaking Sword Intent.
With a heave of his foot and then another step, a majestic Sword Qi pierced through the firmant, surging towards Xu Zii.
"Kill!"
Xu Zii did not dodge; raising Tyrant Shadow, his Heaven Shaking Blade Intent erupted as their figures intertwined once more.
"Sword's Lant."
"Way of Inquiry Reverse Samsara."
Both of their shouting voices rang out at the sa ti.
The sword in Xie Changliu's hand seed to carry emotions, emitting waves of lant, as if it were crying.
The sword winds lded with the oncoming Mad Wind.
Body moving, sword approaching, wind rising.
anwhile, for Xu Zii, the yin and yang of the sky were cleaved apart, shrouding the blade in black and white.
That Reincarnation, as if under the control of his hand, was split by Xu Zii's slash.
Both figures retreated several steps simultaneously.
Xie Changliu wiped the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth and huffed coldly, charging forward again.
"Wave Chasing Millennium Peak," he lifted his sword.
Behind him, the Sword Qi coalesced into towering waves, rising high into the sky.
Turning into a series of Torrents.
Xie Changliu himself was like the unyielding Millennium Peak within that Torrent.
"Whale Surge Dragon's Wrath," he bellowed again.
In that imnse wave surge, a creature resembling both a whale and a dragon flashed by.
It threaded and andered through the formidable waves.
As Xie Changliu's sword fell, the Fish Dragon, Millennium Peak, and the imnse surging waves all seed to concentrate at a single point.
All converging on the blade, then heavily crashing down.
"Boom boom boom!"
The sword edge split the current, colliding with Xu Zii's Tyrant Shadow.
"Way of Inquiry Heaven Burial."
The two ultimate streams collided, and the Sword Intent surrounding Xie Changliu grew stronger.
It began to affect half of the void.
The aftermath of the explosion forcibly separated them, and Xie Changliu stepped upon the void, his figure standing high above the plains.
"When the whale rises, thousand dragons sink,
Waves plumt, heaven and earth extinguish."
As the two phrases were uttered, his entire being vanished completely, leaving only a sword between heaven and earth.
That sword road the firmant proudly, at tis a sword, at tis an all-encompassing Fish Dragon, finally thundering and flashing with lightning.
The vast longsword pierced through layers of void, attacking Xu Zii head-on.
"Impressive swordsmanship," Xu Zii praised.
He then raised Tyrant Shadow, his gaze solemn, the blade's tip directed towards the firmant.
His gaze and the blade edge in one straight line.
Muttering a few words in his tone.
"Way of Inquiry Divine Desolation."
The next mont, his purple robe and black hair rose without wind, hair flying, and robe rustling sharply.
The breath of the Ancient Divine Desolation unfolded upon this Wild Desolation land.
In his past life, he created the nineteen techniques of the Way of Inquiry, and Divine Desolation was a stroke of inspiration.
It was nothing but an imagined technique.
But in this life, having seen many Forbidden Lands and even stirring up the Ruins of the Gods into utter chaos.
He combined what he had conceived in the past life and finally created this move.
Tyrant Shadow rose and fell, blanketing the Longsword with the power of Divine Desolation.
Suddenly, the world was plunged into darkness.
In this darkness, only a blade and a sword collided.
In an instant, as swift as a flash, a sliver of light flickered and passed.
Their silhouettes crossed paths.
The world returned to normal, with each standing back to back, their blades and swords withdrawn.
The void kept shattering, and the earth kept sinking.
The might of the Blade and Sword Intent lingered for a long ti, destroying the void again and again.
It took a full ten minutes for everything to calm down.
Xu Zii slowly turned around, and so did Xie Changliu standing opposite him.
However, the mont he turned, his legs had sohow snapped at the shins without notice.
He collapsed directly to the ground.
"Where do your inner worries stem from?" Xu Zii asked.
A heart harboring worries renders one's sword less pure.
"Don't kill Myriad Flowers Fairy," Xie Changliu lifted his head and said with difficulty.
"Why?" Xu Zii inquired.
Hearing Xu Zii's question, Xie Changliu fell silent.
Looking at him, Xu Zii slightly furrowed his brows.
His gaze pierced through the vast Ten Mile Slope plains, looking deeper still.
He then turned back to glance at Xie Changliu.
The current Sword God embodied a sense of the curtain falling.
He lifted his head and walked toward the distance.
Xie Changliu raised his hand, wanting to say more, but as his mouth barely opened, everything once again dissolved into silence.
...…
Black Water Lake, the largest body of water in the minor world of Edge of the Sky, End of the Sea.
It begins in the east at Zhendong Pass, traversing most of the minor world before descending south to Zhennan Pass.
The river is fad for its black water.
Throughout the year, the lake is characterized by rapid currents and fierce waves, with torrents following one after another.
It's difficult for ordinary cultivators to cross the river.
Especially near Zhennan Pass, many do not dare to approach.
It is said that a Dragon King guarding the area preys on humans, extrely powerful and fierce.
Having traveled across vast plains, finally Xu Zii's figure halted before Black Water Lake.
He looked up once more, now able to see Chaotic Cloud Stream.
At the gorge, there were layers of cloud-ascending ladders that continued and disappeared into the end.
Xu Zii didn't pause, as he stepped across the waves over Black Water Lake.
With waves surging violently, one after another rushed towards him.
Xu Zii swung his hands, and the surrounding space-ti instantly solidified.
The waves that had just risen were abruptly suspended in the void.
As if frozen.
Xu Zii rapidly sought to cross the river, when at that mont, a colossal creature erged from beneath the water.
The once frozen space-ti shattered, the enormous creature surfaced, opening its massive maw.
A strong sll of blood perated the air.
It lunged at Xu Zii with its mouth agape.
Xu Zii slightly furrowed his brow, set his right foot on the creature's sharp fangs and quickly moved backwards.
With a boom, water splashed everywhere, waves colliding in succession.
The colossal beast plunged back into the turbulent waves and disappeared.
Xu Zii steadied his stance, his gaze searching beneath the water's surface.
