The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 2306 - 2252–2253: Sword Path Contest, Time Returns

"Space lock, space exile!" murmured the Witch God Sect Leader, swinging his staff gently. Immediately, the nearby space twisted in plain sight, trapping Pei Xuanjing within its grasp, while a dark void hole in the space emerged, poised to banish him away.
This technique draws from the Space Great Dao's shifting approach. The Witch God Sect Leader himself likely has no clue where this space black hole connects. Through such a space black hole, foes can be swiftly transported to distant, unknown lands.
The force behind a single strike carries dreadful might, yet the shifting of space can effortlessly nullify such energies.
In a flash, the entire surge of power vanished into the space black hole, fading away into empty void.
Though his initial strike landed on nothing, Pei Xuanjing showed no rage; instead, he launched another assault. A fearsome fist aura spread across the emptiness, and the overwhelming force sent shivers of dread through the watching crowd.
Right then, it felt like a heavy burden weighed on their Divine Souls, an alarming strength that choked the breath and stirred fear. Despite their forms not bearing the direct brunt of this fist mark, its sheer menace still stirred unease in their cores.
......
"One incarnation holds back the Witch God Sect Leader, and another comes to clash with me—Longevity, aren't you overly bold!" declared the white-robed Sword Emperor with icy tone.
Pei Xuanjing gave a soft laugh and replied, "Sword Emperor, you're just an incarnation too. Matching incarnation against incarnation keeps things even."
The Sword Emperor's sudden arrival didn't catch Pei Xuanjing off guard, since he had anticipated the man's involvement all along.
Furthermore, the Sword Emperor's move targeted Pei Xuanjing directly, not Pang Hong, craving yet another duel.
Back when Pei Xuanjing tried to refine the Gods Sealing List anew, these Dao Lords stepped in to obstruct him. They united their efforts to block his progress but ended up driven back by his counter.
Yet that brief clash left the Sword Emperor irritated, and he's been seeking a chance ever since to cross swords with Pei Xuanjing once more.
During their last encounter in the Chaos Void, Pei Xuanjing stood alone against four Dao Lord powerhouses—a golden moment, but the Sword Emperor viewed the Demon Race and those two Demon Gods as rivals. He refused to team up with them or lower himself that way.
Though Pei Xuanjing didn't focus solely on the Sword Path, his skill in it ranked him among the elite across the Realms of Heavenly Seas, which is why the Sword Emperor yearned for another bout along that path.
Regarding the Sword Emperor's remark about Pei Xuanjing using only an incarnation, he dismissed it entirely. Should the Sword Emperor arrive in his True Body, facing him with just an incarnation would smack of arrogance. But with the foe as an incarnation too, the scales balanced.
A faint smile crossed the Sword Emperor's lips, and he fell silent as his divine sword gleamed brightly, summoning the All Heavens Sword Path to envelop him. True to his title as sword emperor, he wielded the incomplete All Heavens Sword Path with such mastery that its might alone could dominate the skies and lands.
"The Sword Path is mine—All Heavens Sword Path, conquer the cosmos!" His proclamation rang like the Great Dao's echo, the divine sword in the Sword Emperor's grip bursting with intense sword beams. In that instant, the Sword Emperor hit his utmost peak, unleashing his strongest blow.
An assault of this caliber could shatter a Quasi-Taoist at True Immortal Sixth Layer Heaven in a heartbeat, leaving no chance for survival.
Here was a seasoned Daoist Monarch unleashing a devastating attack, blending the All Heavens Sword Path to pierce the divide of Yin and Yang, now flipping back to spawn chaos—like the dawn of creation, where the blade emerging from primordial chaos marked the birth of the Sword Path.
Even as merely an incarnation, this sword's potency rivaled the full-force strike of certain freshly ascended Dao Lords in their True Bodies.
"Shenxiao Supreme, dominate the cosmos!" Pei Xuanjing's commanding voice echoed through the skies. The Sun, Moon, and Stars merged into unity, descending from on high with their threefold glow that cleaved through every assault; the Sanbao Jade Ruyi loomed like an everlasting sacred peak spanning the celestial rift, halting the Sword Emperor's formidable charge.
Pei Xuanjing's commanding presence and ruthless edge shone clear in this clash, as he met the Sword Emperor's horrifying power without flinching. His face stayed composed while he deployed a array of divine abilities. Every Shenxiao Sect divine ability, performed by him, matched the finest levels, their striking force ripping through heavens and earth.
With a steely gaze scanning the vast heavens, the killing arts in Pei Xuanjing's grasp dismantled the All Heavens Sword Path.
Yet for all their might, these killing arts faced an equally fearsome foe in the Sword Emperor's Sword Path, whose blinding sword glow lit up the Realms of Heavenly Seas and sliced apart any formidable divine ability with ease.
This embodied the true essence of Breaking Ten Thousand Laws, the ultimate pursuit for every Sword Path cultivator.
Among the ranks of veteran Daoist Monarchs, the Sword Emperor stood out as perhaps the sole figure who shunned Supreme Divine Power. Not from any lack of access to such Supreme Divine Power or inability to forge it on his own.
For the Sword Emperor, his spirit clung only to the sword. All his strength stemmed from the Sword Path, the purest form of it.
At this stage, the Sword Emperor's way diverged sharply from other Dao Lords, who layered on more, while he dared to strip away.
He set out to discard and cut ties with countless past divine abilities, evolving into the most unadulterated swordsman, free from any extra divine abilities.
One sword shatters ten thousand laws—no matter the divine abilities you wield, I counter with a lone sword stroke against all. Such is the Sword Emperor's chosen path.
