Inside the sword discussion arena, Mo Hua confronts the five top prodigies of Qianxue with an arrogant demeanor, declaring his intention to strike them down. As he prepares a mysterious technique, observers and high-level ancestors alike are struck by horror when they recognize the forbidden Taixu Mind Transforming Sword True Jue. Because this technique targets divine thought, the onlookers realize that the existing formation is powerless to stop it, leaving the five prodigies in immediate mortal danger.

This is wrong!

Get rid of Mo Hua first!

Panic gripped the five, leaving them no time for contemplation. They reacted on pure instinct, desperate to launch a strike that would eliminate Mo Hua or at least disrupt his blade techniques.

But the window of opportunity had slammed shut. They had caught sight of his gaze.

Those eyes were no longer those of a mere mortal.

They shimmered with a golden brilliance, imbued with an aura of absolute divinity.

Hidden within that divinity sat a profound compassion for all living things.

Yet, amidst that humanity lay a demonic coldness capable of slaughtering without hesitation.

A blood-stained purgatory of sword Dao was reflected within Mo Hua’s pupils, petrifying the divine souls of Shen Linsu and his companions. Paralyzed by an overwhelming sense of guilt, they dared not move a muscle.

Seizing this fleeting moment, Mo Hua pushed aside all distractions to center his spirit, channeling the entirety of his divine sense within his sea of consciousness.

The intricate mysteries of the four sword formations—Gold-breaking, Mountain-opening, Gui Water, and Li Fire—spun in endless harmony within his eyes.

The ancient and expansive Tai Xu Sword Intent merged into the center of this maelstrom.

Suddenly, a blade intent—vastly exceeding the limitations of the Foundation Establishment Realm—erupted from Mo Hua's slender frame with shocking, razor-sharp intensity.

It was imposing and boundless, resembling a tempest of divine thought that swept invisibly across the surroundings.

The golden light within Mo Hua's eyes intensified.

The sword intent, fueled by pure golden divine thought, reached its zenith, sharpening into a singular, lethal point.

Mo Hua touched the space between his brows.

As his fingertip glowed with spiritual power, he bridged the gap between reality and the ethereal. Employing the "Out-of-body Divine Thought" technique he had pioneered, he drew out the deep and potent Tai Xu Sword Intent, weaving it directly into the Five Elements Sword Formation.

The monumental God-slaying style, with its terrifying edges, was revealed to the world once more.

With a gaze as cold as ice, Mo Hua pointed forward. A surge of sword intent surged through the air as the Giant Sword of Divine Thought swung forth.

Slash!

This was a strike comprised entirely of divine thought.

It was a manifestation fused with divine marrow and transmuted into pure gold, defying the common understanding of ordinary practitioners.

Most Foundation Establishment cultivators present saw nothing, save for a faint, ethereal golden shimmer in the air marking Mo Hua’s gesture.

Golden Core cultivators caught a glimpse of a blurred shadow, occasionally streaked with golden strands of intent.

Those in the Feather Transformation realm perceived a dazzling, glass-like golden giant blade.

Only the Heaven Void experts could discern the complete, terrifying form of the God-slaying Giant Sword, along with the flowing Five Elements Laws, the myriad sword arrays, and the profound, ancient Tai Xu Sword Dao contained within.

The higher the cultivation, the more terrifyingly clear the vision. Like the morning sun piercing the clouds, the golden light tore through the firmament, surging toward the five leading geniuses of Qianxue.

It bypassed flesh and spiritual power, rendering armor and Taoist robes useless. It ignored the Dao Discussion Jade and even bypassed the Fifth-grade defense laws of the Tao Mountains, driving directly into their eyes to shatter their divine souls and erase their divine thought from the inside out.

Shen Linsu and his group possessed fleshly bodies, spiritual power, and cultivation techniques that massively eclipsed Mo Hua’s.

Yet, compared to this "deified" version of Mo Hua, their divine thought and Taoist hearts were pathetically fragile.

At the very instant the God-slaying Sword struck, signs emerged that their sea of consciousness was buckling, teetering on the edge of total annihilation.

Then, a protective layer of golden light descended to shield them.

On the foreheads of Shen Linsu and his allies, a radiant, sacred rune manifested.

Mo Hua was no stranger to this glow.

He recognized that rune.

It was the legendary Eternal Life Rune!

Crafted by an ancestor above the Heaven Void realm, this rune represented the final effort of those with no hope of further progress on the Great Dao. They burned their own life essence to plant this seal into the souls of their direct descendants. In the face of death, the rune would trigger, wiping out external threats to ensure the survival of their kin.

Mo Hua’s God-slaying strike had indeed possessed the power to shatter the divine souls of the five prodigies—and it had successfully collided with them.

Consequently, it pulverized the five ancient Eternal Life Runes embedded within them.

This triggered the manifestation of five separate Heaven Void Dharma Phases!

A deafening, earth-shattering roar rippled across the world.

The sky darkened and the earth trembled violently. Massive columns of golden light erupted on the Dao Discussion Mountain, churning the clouds and heavens. Five formidable Heaven Void Dharma Phases appeared, their immense spiritual pressure suffocating every soul present with raw terror.

The aftershocks rippled far beyond the mountain.

The entirety of the Qianxue State Boundary was shaken by the incident.

The collective power of five Heaven Void Dharma Phases was monstrous. The golden radiance spilled from the mountain, blanketing nearly the entire state.

From the Mistwater River to isolated fishing villages near Solitary Mountain City, every cultivator froze, witnessing the spectacle of five Heaven Void silhouettes flickering within a sun-like golden brilliance.

The shattering of five Eternal Life Runes and the appearance of five Heaven Void Dharma Phases was a sight most cultivators would never witness in a thousand lifetimes.

In the forbidden depths of the Four Great Sects and the Daluo Sect, five Heaven Void Ancestors simultaneously coughed up blood.

The devastation did not cease.

In the arena, Mo Hua remained, having delivered that single, fateful strike.

One sword strike shattered five Eternal Life Runes.

One sword strike summoned five Heaven Void Dharma Phases.

One sword strike caused the heavens to lose their color.

One sword strike forced five Heaven Void Ancestors to bleed.

The brilliance of Mo Hua’s strike was simply beyond belief.

Immediately following the silence came a surge of killing intent, vast and heavy as the collapse of the world itself.

The five Heaven Void Dharma Phases, saturated in a terrifying, ancient malice, locked their intent firmly onto Mo Hua.
