The Yu Venerable's soul split, with his burly build, maintained an air of tranquility, but a flash of dread passed through his eyes.
Since Xie Qingyun spoke with such confidence, it was no doubt that the next strike would be his ultimate move, not so minor skirmish or trivial attack like before.
The question remained: what would this ultimate move look like, and what kind of montum and power would it hold?
The Yu Venerable's soul split had no answer, leaving him to watch the developnts unfold intently.
Xie Qingyun held the Taoist Sword, Fuyou.
At this mont, Fuyou seed to rge as part of his body, or could it be said that his body extended into the sword?
Either way, it was acceptable.
A Sword Cultivator and his sword are inherently part of each other.
With the sword, he controlled the Heaven and Earth Elent Qi.
"Begin posture!"
Xie Qingyun swung Fuyou before him.
It appeared identical to every previous sword swing.
His expression remained unchanged, and his attire did not flutter.
The long sword swung naturally as his wrist moved, plain and simple.
Yet, it stirred countless auras from Heaven and Earth.
Then, phenona of Heaven and Earth arose abruptly.
From Fuyou emitted a boundless strength.
The Fuxin Mountain Range echoed with a howling sound.
The vast stretches of peaks and mountains, originally limitless in number, suddenly underwent change.
In an instant, the thousand miles of mountain range were severed into countless intersecting ravines.
Sword Qi!
Thousands of fierce, unparalleled Sword Qi rose abruptly from the mountain peaks.
The entire Fuxin Mountain Range.
Except for the peak beneath Yu Venerable's soul split.
Ancient towering trees uprooted and floated upward, stones shattered and ascended, peaks soared, covering the sky.
Alongside the peaks, all beasts and structures, soil and water, nearly everything ascended into the sky.
The imnse Sword Qi, carrying the entire mountain range, soared over Xie Qingyun and Yu Venerable's current height, suspending above them.
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
Because the mountains in the sky blocked the sun and dimd the stars.
"You're right, as the Spirit of the mountain range, within Fuxin Mountain Range you are indeed invincible," Xie Qingyun gazed at Yu Venerable, "Neither man nor tree can easily leave their roots here, making it nearly impossible to dislodge you from Fuxin Mountain Range."
"However..." The Sword Immortal placed his hands on Fuyou's hilt with a gesture of resignation, and said casually, "Now, the Fuxin Mountain Range is gone."
With the Fuxin Mountain Range gone, Yu Venerable's invincibility ceased.
The Yu Venerable's soul split wore an extrely grim expression.
In an instant, he understood the intricacy of Xie Qingyun's sword.
It wasn't about the big move being launched now, but that it could only be launched now.
From the mont Xie Qingyun first clashed with him, he understood that within Fuxin Mountain Range, to defeat his soul split, the Spirit of the Mountains, was an unfathomable task.
For the Spirit of the Mountain draws constant power from the Fuxin Mountain Range.
No matter how severe the injuries, it could quickly regenerate using the mountain's power.
To slay Yu Venerable's soul split required either driving him out of the mountain range or destroying Fuxin Mountain Range.
Clearly, Yu Venerable wasn't foolish enough to easily leave the Fuxin Mountain Range.
Thus, the latter was the only option.
Xie Qingyun knew he had only one chance with his sword.
If he failed to destroy the Fuxin Mountain Range in that fleeting mont, Yu Venerable would beco cautious on alert, and further attempts would beco arduous.
Fuxin Mountain Range spanned thousands of miles, its destruction with a single sword stroke, even for a Sword Immortal, was nearly impossible.
Therefore, every seemingly futile attack,Xie Qingyun made was actually a feint.
In reality, he was silently dispersing thousands upon thousands of Sword Qi into Fuxin Mountain Range.
To do this under Yu Venerable's watch without detection was challenging.
But Xie Qingyun had Fuyou.
The Taoist Sword Fuyou, also known as the Breathless Sword.
Its invisibility extended beyond the sword to its Sword Qi.
Thus, he accomplished this feat.
After much preparation, Xie Qingyun finally scattered a million Sword Qi within Fuxin Mountain Range.
Then, at this fleeting mont, they erupted.
The Sword Qi arrived with such swiftness and force, overturning the entire Fuxin Mountain Range.
To label this sword move as the technique of a Sword Immortal even falls short.
This was a divine feat.
Yu Venerable instantly realized that Xie Qingyun's words "this is what you call a sword" were not an exaggeration.
In the face of such a sword technique, no other technique dared to claim itself as the true sword.
Heaven and Earth overturned.
Mountain range inverted.
Even the demonic cultivators were astounded by the breathtaking sight before them:
In the blood-colored sky, a shattered mountain range stood.
Stones, gravel, soil, trees, and water are distinctly visible, appearing as if gravity or adhesion had been lost, hanging there.
Fuyou humd and vibrated.
It was excited.
Truly excited.
Even a Taoist Sword in its lifeti might not produce such a strike.
....
"Soul Venerable, what are you waiting for? Move now! Otherwise, what's lost won't just be the Fuxin Mountain Range!" Yu Venerable's soul split finally couldn't suppress his fury any longer and let out a deep roar.
Yes, from the beginning to the end, it had always been Yu Venerable taking action; the Soul Venerable had yet to make an appearance.
Though, it wasn't without reason.
After all, the Soul Venerable did not have a soul split in the Incessant Domain, only the main body remained.
The Soul Venerable, unlike Yu Venerable, couldn't hide his main body inside the soul split.
And at present, they faced an enemy fad for offensive prowess, a Sword Immortal.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, the Soul Venerable wouldn't wish to reveal his true form to Xie Qingyun, to avoid unpredictable incidents, being directly targeted by Xie Qingyun.
