Chapter 430 We had no choice but to use weapons
Within that sword intent, it seemed as if countless wronged souls were wailing and howling, assaulting everyone's soul!
"Slaughter Sword Domain! It's Senior Brother Li Yan's Slaughter Sword Domain!" a Jade Void Palace disciple shouted excitedly.
"To be able to condense the killing intent into the rudimentary form of a domain... this kid is truly remarkable." On the high platform, Master Yu Shu nodded slightly, revealing a satisfied expression.
Elder Lei Tong's expression, which had just eased, tightened again.
Even in its rudimentary form, the Sword Domain signifies an extremely high level of understanding of a certain "Dao," and its power is far beyond what it was before!
Zhao Xiruo and Liu Yanran's hearts clenched instantly, and their faces turned pale.
Shen Nan's expression was more solemn than ever before.
Lu Beiyou finally revealed a gleeful and ferocious smile: "It's over! Yun Chen, you have every reason to be proud that you were able to force out Senior Brother Yan's Killing Sword Domain! And... die!"
The center of the sword domain.
Yun Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.
The omnipresent terrifying aura and murderous intent clung to him like a quagmire.
It not only greatly suppressed his speed and spiritual energy circulation, but also constantly impacted his sea of consciousness, trying to drag him into an endless killing illusion!
He seemed to see mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and countless tragically dead souls rushing towards him!
"Roar--!"
At this critical moment, the dormant dragon soul within Yun Chen seemed to be stimulated by the killing intent outside, and suddenly let out a low and majestic roar!
A vast, ancient, and supreme dragon might erupted from his body, like an invisible storm, instantly clearing a blank area from the surrounding killing sword domain!
Yun Chen's eyes shone brightly with golden light, and his previously stagnant aura instantly returned to normal, even becoming more condensed and surging!
He looked up at Li Yan, whose momentum had reached its peak, and instead of being afraid, he felt an even more intense fighting spirit!
"A nascent sword domain? Not bad!" Yun Chen laughed loudly, "Perfect for testing my physical defense!"
He slowly clenched his fists, and the pale golden true energy around his body no longer dissipated, but flowed like liquid, tightly covering his body surface, faintly forming a thin layer of golden dragon scale armor phantom!
A more domineering and purer dragon's might, mixed with boundless battle intent, rivaled Li Yan's Killing Sword Domain!
"Take my punch! Nine Dragons Shake the Heavens!"
Yun Chen took a step forward, and the entire arena trembled!
He unleashed his right fist, no longer a scattered fist aura, but all the power concentrated into a single point. A solid, lifelike golden dragon-shaped energy roared and tore through the air. Wherever it passed, the dark red killing sword domain dissipated like melting snow, heading straight for Li Yan!
Li Yan's pupils contracted sharply; he sensed a deadly threat from that punch!
He roared and pushed the power of the Slaughter Sword Domain to its limit. The Blood Slaughter Sword transformed into a dark red light that tore through the heavens and earth, carrying the determination to annihilate everything, and fiercely met the golden dragon shadow!
"Blood Slaughter - Thousand Kill Slash!"
At this moment, everyone's hearts were in their throats!
The golden dragon shadow and the dark red blood light, like two shooting stars, collided with a deafening roar under the gaze of countless shocked eyes!
The blinding light instantly engulfed the entire arena.
The violent shockwave slammed into the protective light shield around the arena, causing the shield to twist violently and groan under the strain!
Some disciples who were close to the stage were even forced to retreat by the shockwave, their faces filled with horror.
As the light faded, the two remained locked in their exchanging blows in the center of the arena.
Yun Chen's right fist pressed against the tip of Li Yan's Blood Slaughter Sword. The golden dragon scale phantom at the tip of his fist shattered inch by inch, but his body remained as immovable as a rock, only the ground beneath his feet cracked and spread again.
Li Yan stumbled back seven steps, each step leaving a deep footprint on the ground. The web of his right hand, which was gripping the sword, was split open, and blood flowed down the hilt.
His face flushed, and a sweet taste rose in his throat, but he forced it back down.
Sit down!
In a pure clash of power, Yun Chen actually came out on top!
"This is impossible!" Lu Beiyou exclaimed in disbelief, his face filled with disbelief.
The audience erupted in uproar!
Li Yan's Killing Sword Domain combined with the Thousand Kill Slash was incredibly powerful, yet it was repelled in a head-on clash.
Li Yan suddenly looked up, the icy killing intent in his eyes almost tangible. He stared intently at Yun Chen, his voice hoarse: "Good! Very good! You're the first Golden Core cultivator to force me to this point!"
Instead of weakening, his aura became more dangerous and violent. The dark red killing sword domain condensed again, even more solid than before, with faint blood-red runes flowing within it!
"This next sword strike is one that I have never used against someone of the same level since I created it."
Li Yan slowly raised the Blood Slaughter Sword, its tip pointing at Yun Chen. His entire being seemed to merge with the sword in his hand: "To die by this sword is your honor!"
"Blood Slaughter - Annihilation!"
The moment he finished speaking, he seemed to transform into a phantom of blood, vanishing along with the sword in his hand!
It wasn't that it was too fast, but rather that it truly disappeared, merging into that dark red killing sword domain!
The next moment, a deathly aura that made even the soul tremble locked onto Yun Chen!
It was like a sigh from the deepest hell, silent yet omnipresent, trying to completely strip him of his life force and annihilate him!
This sword strike has transcended the realm of ordinary swordsmanship, touching upon the very essence of the "annihilation" law!
"Yun Chen, you absolutely can't get hurt!"
Below the stage, Liu Yanran and Zhao Xiruo's faces turned deathly pale, and they silently prayed for Yun Chen.
They couldn't catch a glimpse of Li Yan; all they could feel was the despairing aura of death emanating from him.
Shen Nan clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.
This Li Yan is actually this strong... Is my junior brother going to get into trouble?
On the high platform, Master Yu Shu put away his smile, his eyes sharp.
Elder Lei Tong suddenly stood up, his body crackling with lightning, ready to intervene at any moment!
Fairy Bibo, Lin Xuantong, and others also looked solemn.
However, Yun Chen, who was at the center of this fatal blow, had a flash of enlightenment in his eyes as he faced the omnipresent sword intent of annihilation.
He seemed to see all things withering and returning to nothingness. It was not a simple destruction, but a kind of... the end of reincarnation, and also the beginning of new life.
"So that's how it is... The end of slaughter is not only destruction, but also the 'silence' that returns to nothingness and the 'annihilation' that awaits revival..."
Yun Chen muttered to himself. The Nine Dragons True Qi within his body seemed to be drawn by something, and began to circulate on its own along a mysterious trajectory, creating a strange resonance with the Annihilation Sword Intent.
He clearly felt that his long-standing bottleneck in swordsmanship had loosened at this moment!
A brand new, sharper, and purer sword intent was brewing in his heart, as if it could break free from its cocoon at any moment!
He had even touched the threshold of the Nascent Soul stage. If he wanted, he could immediately draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to condense his Nascent Soul!
But at this crucial moment, a glint flashed in Yun Chen's eyes, and he forcefully suppressed the sword intent that was about to burst forth and the opportunity for breakthrough!
While breaking through now would certainly boost his strength and allow him to easily defeat Li Yan, he would also lose his qualification to participate in the ranking competition!
For the sake of qualifying for the secret realm, and to save his master, he couldn't!
He took a deep breath, looked at the sword that seemed to pierce from nothingness, carrying the will to annihilate all things, and slowly raised his right hand.
"It seems... we still have no choice but to use weapons."
