This Sword Cultivator is Somewhat Dependable Chapter 1733 - 64: Dragon Snake Chronicles

"It's not something you raised, don't flatter yourself and stick gold to your face." Lu Qingshan replied with a casual sarcasm.

"Without me, how could your Sword Sect defeat the Heart Demon Clan?"

"If you lost the battle at Central Spirit, the Sword Sect would be weakened, how could you become the lord of Sword Sect, and how would you have such immense qi luck?" Imperial Heaven coldly stated.

What it said seemed not entirely wrong.

But so what?

The qi luck True Dragon hovering behind him poked its head from Lu Qingshan's shoulder, fondly rubbing its two golden dragon whiskers against his cheek.

"It only recognizes me." Lu Qingshan affirmed.

"Whatever," Imperial Heaven said, "I just need to obtain it, doesn't matter whether it recognizes me or not."

Its sun and moon eyes glared fiercely at Lu Qingshan.

It was extremely clear about what qi luck meant to Lu Qingshan.

Every person in the world has qi luck; those with abundant qi luck achieve everything easily, while those without struggle endlessly.

Snatching someone's qi luck is akin to taking their inheritance, an unworldly feud.

Especially since Lu Qingshan is a Sword Cultivator.

Sword Cultivators pave their way with swords, defying the heavens, they must have qi luck to protect themselves.

So, Imperial Heaven was not only trying to seize Lu Qingshan's qi luck but also aiming to extinguish Lu Qingshan's path to becoming a Sword Immortal.

But so what?

A friend may die, but not oneself.

"What if I don't give it?" Lu Qingshan countered.

"Then I can only forcibly take it." Imperial Heaven replied calmly, showing no anger.

"No one can take what's mine. Not even the heavens, and certainly not you." Lu Qingshan shook his head with a smile.

"This is your weakest moment," Imperial Heaven made no attempt to hide its intention to kick someone when they were down, "I've come just in time."

What it said was not false; indeed, it was Lu Qingshan's weakest moment.

Although he successfully crossed the Seven Layer Heavenly Tribulation, he was severely wounded by it.

Without the feedback of the Power of Heaven and Earth after the tribulation, Lu Qingshan would need at least ten years of recovery to restore himself.

Such a Lu Qingshan, what power did he have to resist Imperial Heaven?

"Moreover, this is what you owe me," at this point, Imperial Heaven was completely revealing the dagger, "if you don't believe, just look."

Instantly, countless dazzling golden rays radiated from Lu Qingshan's body.

These golden rays, after leaving Lu Qingshan's body, gathered together and became a solid, dazzling golden thread, extending forward until it entered Imperial Heaven's body.

And at the moment the golden thread connected him with Imperial Heaven, Lu Qingshan was horrified to find himself completely bound by this golden thread, becoming a plaything at the mercy of the opponent.

"This is called causality," Imperial Heaven hovered above Nine Heavens, looking at Lu Qingshan with a greedy smile, "you received my transmission and favors, your causality with me is deeply concluded."

"Once the causality thread is linked, either you clear the causality or forcibly sever it, otherwise, during the Heavenly Tribulation, you have absolutely no power to resist me."

At this point, Imperial Heaven was eighty percent sure Lu Qingshan could no longer threaten it, his tone insidiously gleeful, "this causality thread was formed back at the Imperial Heaven Ancient Temple, it has long found an anchor point in your body,

to sever this segment of causality, you must first sever the connection between you and the anchor point."

"Anything deemed an anchor point by the causality thread must have a deep bond with you."

"Let me guess what this anchor point is," Imperial Heaven's eyes sparkled with desire, glee, and excitement at success being just within reach, "is it your cultivation realm, your life-bound sword, or your primordial spirit?"

"Whichever of the three, once severed, decades of cultivation would be in vain."

"So, have you decided, do you want qi luck, or your cultivation realm?"

"Without qi luck, you may not ascend to the Sword Immortal Realm; without the others, truly nothing remains."

Though holding certain victory, Imperial Heaven has lived many years, becoming extremely cunning and cautious.

Even now, it tried to use words to crumble Lu Qingshan's will, fearing Lu Qingshan might make impulsive decisions.

"How could I possibly sever decades of cultivation realm?" Lu Qingshan shook his head, speaking to himself.

Receiving the anticipated answer, believing Lu Qingshan had made a "wise" choice, Imperial Heaven could no longer conceal its smugness:

"Lu Qingshan, no matter how high your sword technique, it can never surpass the heavens."

"No matter how deep your talent, it can never surpass the earth."

It sighed, "But your Human Race has a saying, born with talents, they must be put to use; even when wealth is scattered, it eventually returns.

You need not bear too much hatred toward me, with your talents, Lu Qingshan, in a hundred years, you might nurture another qi luck True Dragon.

Of course, by then, I will have long departed this world."

"Hahaha, you won't have a place to seek revenge on me."

Imperial Heaven smirked in the high sky, emitting a mocking sound of laughter.

But its "smile" lasted only a moment, soon its sun and moon eyes widened, revealing a look of confusion and fright.

The Lu Qingshan regarded as having given up resistance, mere meat on the chopping block, ascended to the high sky at this moment, reaching the same level as it for a confrontation.

Big eyes staring into small eyes.

"Do you know?" Lu Qingshan suddenly asked.

"Hmm?"

"I even severed my Dao Foundation."

Lu Qingshan swiftly closed his eyes.

White hair fluttering.

He took a deep breath.

The mighty wind arises, the clouds fly high.

Instantly, winds surged and clouds swirled, the world in chaos.

Lu Qingshan's body started trembling intensely, the pain indescribable.

Soon after, though his eyes were closed, Lu Qingshan saw countless golden streams starting to surge from within him.

Something was separating from his body.

"Slash!" suddenly one word, earth-shattering.

These golden air currents originally deeply embedded within Lu Qingshan's body, inseparable and impervious.

But now, these golden streams were voluntarily severed by Lu Qingshan, all of it gone.

Faintly, the golden streams centered around Lu Qingshan's body, merging into the surrounding void, completely dissipating, never to exist again.

"Ah!"

As a piercing and extremely shrill scream echoed in his ears, Lu Qingshan opened his eyes.

He saw the golden line of causality linking him to Imperial Heaven turn black, starting from his end.

This blackness spread rapidly, like a fuse being lit, turning everything to ash, until it reached Imperial Heaven's body, creating the scream he had just heard.

Causality ceased to exist.

It was a relief.

Lu Qingshan gently exhaled, releasing not just the deep breath he had taken earlier but also the accumulated frustrations of twenty years since entering the Tribulation Crossing Realm, as if with one breath he exhaled the entire breadth of mountains and rivers.

He smiled and murmured to himself, "I've repaid what I owed you."

"Next, it's your turn to repay me."

At this moment, an intense sense of satisfaction appeared on Lu Qingshan's face.

After his words fell, the subsequent scene was not only bewildering for Imperial Heaven, but also left the besieged Demon Lords, the sinister Luohu, and the bloodthirsty Chu Mu all wide-eyed.

This spectacle was too overwhelming.

Above the Nine Heavens, in front of Imperial Heaven, who was like a True Dragon, appeared a giant serpent of dark azure.

Apart from the difference in skin color, the two were almost identical in shape.

Of course, their sizes differed; Imperial Heaven was majestic and massive like a True Dragon, while the green snake was just a green snake.

The eyes of the green snake were also transformed into the sun and the moon.

Dragon and snake stared at each other.

Lu Qingshan stood atop the head of the green snake, as if riding on the "dragon's head."

"I do not know the heights of the blue sky or the depths of the yellow earth." He gazed at Imperial Heaven, murmuring softly.

In an instant, a storm arose, gales roared and swept across, dispersing the boundless sea of clouds.

"Only seeing the cold moon and warm sun, watching as life is consumed."

The green snake rose with the wind, expanding to an infinite size.

"Eating bears makes one fat, eating frogs makes one lean."

Lu Qingshan pointed at Imperial Heaven from afar, and thus the green snake's tail swung, piercing through the endless void, arriving before Imperial Heaven in an instant.

"I shall sever the dragon's foot, chew its flesh, making it unable to retreat by day or rest by night." With Lu Qingshan's murmur, the green snake opened its gaping maw and swallowed Imperial Heaven.

For some reason, at this moment, Imperial Heaven seemed powerless to resist, just being swallowed whole by the green snake.

Like the sun and moon sinking and rising within the sea of clouds, the vast ocean flows.

Lu Qingshan stood atop the dragon's head, once again closing his eyes.

The green snake was his Sword Qi Spirit,

As the snake swallowed the dragon, so too did he swallow the dragon.

"Dream on about swallowing me!"

From within the green snake's belly came Imperial Heaven's wild and wanton laughter.

It turned out, it was all calculated.

Since causality was useless, it planned to kill Lu Qingshan and seize his fate.

First, destroy Lu Qingshan's Sword Qi Spirit.

"How can a snake swallow a dragon?"

At this moment, the green snake's azure belly seemed to become transparent, allowing everyone to clearly see the scene inside.

A long snake shuttled back and forth, that was the young green snake.

A Divine Dragon rose into the air, that was the arrogant Imperial Heaven.

The dragon and snake entwined, battling relentlessly, with each inch the dragon grew, the snake also extended, for every foot the dragon lengthened, the snake matched.

They twisted and turned against each other, like two inseparable vines, gradually merging into one, indistinguishable from one another.

The majestic sound of dragon roars echoed through Heaven and Earth.

That was the voice of Imperial Heaven.

Lu Qingshan seemed not to hear, focusing on himself.

Endless light and heat burst forth, the power of Imperial Heaven's sun and moon.

To swallow a dragon was also to swallow the sun and moon.

Incinerated by the sun and moon, the resulting pain was endless, making the previous extreme pain brought by the Heavenly Thunder from the Nine Heavens seem insignificant.

"What is Imperial Heaven? Even with the sun and moon burning bright, it dares to swallow the sun and burn its body."

Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strengthens himself unceasingly.

"Even Heaven cannot make Imperial Heaven submit, and you have already become a good dog of the Heavenly Dao."

"This is not Imperial Heaven."

"Even as a snake, it dares to proactively swallow a dragon; this is Imperial Heaven!"

Imperial Heaven is not a bloodline but a spirit.

The spirit of Imperial Heaven, he had long comprehended; the reason he was a snake and Imperial Heaven a dragon was merely due to untimeliness, hidden dragons unutilized.

Without the spirit of Imperial Heaven, even with the pilfered power of Taiyin and sun, it ultimately remained a Pseudo-Dragon.

Countless years ago, Imperial Heaven missed the chance to transform because of this.

Countless years later, it again lost this Dragon Snake confrontation because of it.

The dragon's roar was growing faint, becoming ever weaker.

Until at last, there was no more dragon roar in Heaven and Earth.

Within Heaven and Earth, only an indomitable and unyielding will remained.

Lu Qingshan silently opened his eyes.

His whites of the eyes turned pitch black, and his pupils were bright gold like the sun and moon.

The dragon soars in the sky.

"You lost."

From inside the green snake's belly came Imperial Heaven's final roar of fury and bewilderment, "What exactly did you slash?!"

Losing one move meant losing the whole game.

Lu Qingshan smiled faintly, offering no answer, but bidding farewell in his heart.

"Goodbye."

"Deep Blue."
