Like the Milky Way, the dragon's breath road across Heaven's Vault, falling towards Xie Qingyun, intending to take everything from him and purify him.
The Azure Dragon exerts its pressure over the human world, leaving no Demon Beasts daring to look towards the Sky Do.
The demons do not dare, but humans do.
Xie Qingyun held an ancient-looking, sky-blue long sword in his right hand.
The sword humd slightly, expressing its intent for battle.
The Sword of Ascension.
The Ascension Sword, unseen when observed, unnoticed when wielded, dissolves into infinity wherever it touches, passing through matter unaware, originally the Formless Sword.
However, when Xie Qingyun waged the mortal combat with the Azure Dragon Sovereign and the White Tiger Sovereign, he chose to manifest the Ascension Sword.
For many years, Xie Qingyun had not drawn his sword, so much so that the world's people had nearly forgotten its length and appearance.
Therefore, it was ti for the sword to be revealed and leave a lasting impression on the world.
"Sword Qi Spirit."
Swish!
The Ascension Sword sliced through the long sky.
In the stillness of the night and the dazzling azure light, suddenly appeared a deep sword scar.
That sword scar was so profound, it seed as if it were cleaving the sky.
Xie Qingyun's sword seed to open a magnificent stone door, as if a world was being unveiled.
In that world, a giant bird awakened.
Its body shone with brilliant gold, its golden eyes like two suns.
Though described as a giant bird, its form kept changing, lacking any fixed shape.
At one mont, it was a fully golden bird; next, it transford into a dark, massive fish.
The only constant was that whether fish or bird, it was vast and boundless, imnse and infinite.
Kunpeng.
Xie Qingyun's Sword Qi Spirit.
Kunpeng gazed down at the human world with disdain, surveying all under Heaven, appearing to fill the Heaven and Earth, soaring above the Nine Heavens with its massive form stretching across the Sky Do.
The sight was extraordinarily striking.
In Kunpeng's eyes, a glance witnessed seas beco mulberry fields and the rise and fall of centuries.
In the face of the Azure Dragon's breath, Kunpeng remained unafraid.
The Azure Dragon was one of the four ancient spirits, while Kunpeng was also a divine beast in the Human Race's mythology.
They were of equal standing.
In the next mont, Kunpeng opened its massive mouth, facing the seemingly endless dragon's breath with unyielding resolve.
Wherever the dragon's breath passed, the air began to burn, engulfed in flas.
Yet, this terrifying dragon's breath was completely consud by Kunpeng's mouth, vanishing without a trace, dissolved into the world's most intrinsic particles.
It seed as though within Kunpeng's mouth, there was entire a world.
.......
As the Azure Dragon exhaled, the oppressive force covering Heaven's Vault caused Lu Qingshan's body to emit a faint crackling sound.
It was the sound of his bones battling against the Azure Dragon's pressure.
Lu Qingshan's body continuously trembled, cold sweat trickling down his forehead, producing a muffled groan of pain.
Yet, he managed to endure it.
Thus, Lu Qingshan lifted his head once more, gazing at the Azure Dragon.
In the high and distant sky, perhaps only those few cultivators could reach the domain where the Azure Dragon resided.
Yet in the presence of the Azure Dragon, there stood a man, wielding his sword in defiance of the dragon.
This was an unforgivable provocation against the majesty of the Azure Dragon.
The previously serene eyes of the Azure Dragon ignited with furious fire.
A lodious yet intense dragon roar, filled with violent anger, echoed once again through Heaven and Earth.
Following this was a dragon's breath, even more potent than before.
The fierce dragon's breath roared across Heaven's Vault, emitting a silvery divine radiance, threatening to turn everything it passed into nothingness.
Seeing this, Xie Qingyun's expression remained unchanged.
The three-foot Green Peak in his hand, compared to the Azure Dragon and its breath, seed like a re strand.
Xie Qingyun simply and calmly raised the slender Ascension Sword in his hand to et the dragon's breath.
Then, Kunpeng reappeared.
The dragon's breath abruptly shattered, collapsing like an avalanche, spreading outwards like a teor shower.
Yet, Kunpeng did not disperse as before; it seed to have truly co alive, weaving through the countless falling teor showers, charging towards the Azure Dragon Sovereign and the White Tiger Sovereign.
A tiny sword scar appeared on the face of the Azure Dragon Sovereign, with fine blood beads oozing out.
The composure and assuredness on his face vanished, replaced by great solemnity.
This shift occurred instantly, looking sowhat amusing.
Seeing Kunpeng approaching, the Azure Dragon let out an angry roar, sweeping its tail, emitting an incredibly impressive aura.
Clouds gathered around the Azure Dragon, lightning was born within, and electric serpents danced wildly, continuously erupting.
Kunpeng, however, gazed arrogantly at the human world, ascending from the clouds.
In the next instant, the two collided fiercely.
Heaven and Earth burst with light, radiating infinite brilliance and heat, spreading across the mortal world.
Though Lu Qingshan's eyes were flooded with tears from the sudden dazzling light, he persisted in keeping them wide open, watching the scene above.
He was left speechless in shock.
He always knew the Sect Master was powerful, but it was indeed the first ti he witnessed Xie Qingyun in action, never imagining such strength.
Once the sword was drawn, the Kunpeng danced above the Nine Heavens.
He kept his eyes wide open.
But unfortunately, the brilliance was too dazzling for him to see anything clearly.
The radiant starlight settled on the plateau.
The Azure Dragon and Kunpeng.
The battle of the mortal world.
Nothing had ended yet, nor could it end so soon.
The light gradually receded.
Lu Qingshan's heart filled with anxiety, his gaze firmly locked on the distant Heaven's Vault.
What was the outco?
This clash—did the old Sect Master have the upper hand, or was the Azure Dragon superior?
In Lu Qingshan's view, this was a battle unlikely to end in a short ti.
However, he was mistaken.
When the light completely faded away, and Lu Qingshan looked again, besides the Azure Dragon, nothing else could be seen.
"Where is Kunpeng?" Lu Qingshan murmured, incredulous.
Kunpeng had vanished... could it be that the Sect Master was defeated?
He dared not think of this possibility, but it seed the most reasonable.
Lu Qingshan stood montarily at a loss.
Xie Qingyun was the faith and pillar of the Central Spirit battle; if he were defeated, how could the battle continue?
Lu Qingshan dared not think further, standing there in a daze, not knowing how long he remained silent.
Until a very familiar and rich voice reached his ears.
"Aren't you leaving yet?"
Lu Qingshan suddenly snapped back, looking up to find a tall figure landing in front of him.
The person looked at him, back to the Azure Dragon and the sun-like brilliance, so his face was shrouded in shadow and hard to see clearly.
But Lu Qingshan knew who it was.
The Sword Immortal, the Qingyun Sword Immortal.
Lu Qingshan bowed and said, "Sect Master."
"You saw it?" Xie Qingyun asked.
"Yes." Lu Qingshan replied respectfully.
"I exchanged a couple of moves, realizing this Azure Dragon is indeed difficult to deal with, its strength even surpassing mine significantly, so I fled," Xie Qingyun remarked casually, glancing back at the gigantic and fierce Azure Dragon.
"It was you who had soone deliver the ssage, saying the Heart Demon Clan's one body with three souls, and that by killing the main body, the souls would perish as well."
"Clearly, the Azure Dragon is the Soul Venerable's third soul, the strongest of them all."
"Compared to the Azure Dragon Soul Split, his other two souls and even the main body are negligible.
Having killed the main body, this Azure Dragon Soul Split would also perish; why should I fight this Azure Dragon to the death?
After all, even in a life-and-death struggle, I am not confident I can kill it," Xie Qingyun said openly, speaking without burden or pretense.
Lu Qingshan paused, then smiled, "What a coincidence; I'm here to lead you to find the main bodies of the Soul Venerable and Yu Venerable."
