Urban Super Medical Sage Chapter 2106 - 2204: They Know Each Other! (6th Update)
Previously on Urban Super Medical Sage...
The sword was consumed.
Su Chen was convinced that by employing the 'Divine Demon Body Refinement' technique, he possessed the potential to ascend by an entire level.
At this precise moment, Su Chen could acutely sense his physical form, his very being, craving the sword. It was as if he were a famished monstrous beast, ravenously desiring to engulf it whole.
"Hahaha... Hahahahaha..." Upon hearing this, Ke Wuxin, initially taken aback, erupted into boisterous laughter. "You desire this sword?!"
Ke Wuxin’s eyebrow arched, a palpable wave of disdain rippling from the corner of his lips.
"Are you even worthy?" Ke Wuxin abruptly ceased his laughter, articulating each word with deliberate slowness.
His pronouncement hung in the air.
Suddenly.
Ke Wuxin’s wrist flickered.
Instantly, myriad sword techniques unfurled.
The sword intent surged with manic energy, roaring like an approaching tsunami.
A strange and intricate sword momentum shrieked.
Above the Imperial Heart Plaza, the countenances of countless Sons of the Emperor shifted dramatically, their mouths agape in sheer astonishment.
While others failed to recognize it, they certainly did!!!
This was the "Wuxuan Ascension Sword."
This was the pinnacle of swordsmanship from the Imperial Academy.
It was, in fact, a forbidden sword technique.
This formidable technique was conceived by Bai Wuxuan, the inaugural head of the Imperial Academy, eons ago.
Aeons past, Bai Wuxuan was a titan within the Grand Cosmos World.
His renown echoed even throughout that vast cosmic realm.
Legend had it that during the twilight of his martial path, he observed the celestial expanse for 4,999,000 years before ascending with a single, decisive sword strike.
This singular act was christened the "Wuxuan Ascension Sword," signifying Bai Wuxuan's ultimate mastery and serving as the venerable emblem of swordsmanship for the Imperial Academy.
Within the Imperial Academy's hierarchical structure, the Sword Academy stood as the most esteemed and potent branch.
Typically, the most exceptional talents among each new cohort of Sons of the Emperor were invariably selected by the Sword Academy.
The overwhelming might and dominance attributed to the Sword Academy were intrinsically linked to the "Wuxuan Ascension Sword."
Nevertheless, despite being the supreme sword technique, the "Wuxuan Ascension Sword," though passed down through innumerable generations of Sons of the Emperor over countless millennia, with many brilliant talents dedicating their lives to its mastery, yielded limited profound results for the vast majority.
And Ke Wuxin, having been associated with the Imperial Academy for a mere span of less than 500 years.
In such a remarkably brief period, Ke Wuxin had actually… actually achieved mastery of the "Wuxuan Ascension Sword"? How could this possibly be?!!!
Let alone the awestruck Sons of the Emperor and the assembled senior figures, even Fu Qianjiu himself trembled uncontrollably from the shock.
"Fortunate indeed for the Imperial Academy! Truly fortunate for the Imperial Academy!!" Fu Qianjiu murmured, his face flushed with unconcealed excitement.
To be candid, he himself had been unaware that Ke Wuxin had already attained mastery of the "Wuxuan Ascension Sword."
This secret art had only been bestowed upon Ke Wuxin a mere thirty years prior!
In just three decades, Ke Wuxin had not only reached the fundamental introductory stage but had also mastered it?!
Words failed to adequately describe the monstrous talent Ke Wuxin possessed!
He was simply too monstrous!
"Truly formidable..." From a distance, Xia Geng could not refrain from speaking once more. If, moments before, he had already concluded that he was no match for Ke Wuxin, now, as Ke Wuxin gathered his formidable momentum to unleash the "Wuxuan Ascension Sword," he harbored a distinct premonition that Ke Wuxin could easily kill him.
To be defeated and to be slain represented two entirely different outcomes.
Within the same cultivation realm, the ability of one opponent to kill another typically signified either an individual's profound weakness, with their strength and realm failing to live up to their reputation.
Or, it indicated that the opponent was extraordinarily heaven-defying.
Undeniably, it was Ke Wuxin who exhibited the excessively heaven-defying nature.
Concurrently.
*Whoosh*
Within an infinitesimally short duration, Ke Wuxin’s "Wuxuan Ascension Sword" had already reached its zenith of momentum.
His target locked firmly onto Su Chen.
A singular sword strike was launched.
The sword manifested.
The very fabric of space before him spontaneously generated thousands of spatial cyclones, each appearing to possess an independent consciousness, all under Ke Wuxin’s absolute control. These cyclones continuously merged, forming a tempest of swirling air that enveloped the sword light, charging directly at Su Chen in unison.
As the sword light surged forth, the entirety of the Imperial Heart Plaza seemed as though the Triple Void and the terrestrial plane were merging.
Deep within the earth's core, it felt as if a primordial demon unleashed a guttural roar.
In the celestial dome above, streaks of sword light pierced through, angling across the Nine Layers of the heavens.
Viewed from afar, an unending cascade of sword light poured down from the highest heavens, fashioning luminous curtains that enshrouded the entirety of Ascension Thousand City, as if drawing the entire metropolis into a realm saturated with malevolent Qi and sword Qi.
Even more astonishingly, concurrent with the release of this sword technique, every individual present felt an ethereal sensation, as if an additional layer of floating sword clouds had manifested beneath their feet, initiating an ascent towards the sky.
Sword clouds surged skyward, a spectacle as if beckoning every martial cultivator to ascend to the heavens. "Wuxuan Ascension Sword." So that's how it is. A single sword strike, an ascension to the heavens. At this precise moment, more than ninety percent of the cultivators gathered above Imperial Heart Plaza found themselves prostrating!!! They were simply unable to withstand it. Even though the sword's brilliant light was not aimed directly at them. Yet, the soul-shaking sword intent still left them feeling utterly shattered. In the vision of everyone present, a sword shadow materialized, appearing unbelievably real, tearing at their minds until they were on the brink of collapse. It felt far too real. "Excellent!!!" On the Martial Performance Stage, Fu Qianjiu's face flushed with excitement, his pride swelling uncontrollably. He, Fu Qianjiu, held the position of the fourteenth head of the Imperial Academy. Throughout his tenure, he hadn't achieved anything particularly remarkable. He was generally considered unremarkable. But in this moment, he dared to declare that besides Bai Wuxuan, the inaugural head of the Imperial Academy, he was undoubtedly the most outstanding, all thanks to having a disciple of incredible talent. Fu Qianjiu seemed to foresee a future where Ke Wuxin would traverse the Grand Cosmos World, his reputation spreading far and wide, and consequently, the glory of the Imperial Academy would slowly but surely ascend. Wasn't taking Ke Wuxin as a disciple the most significant achievement, the proudest moment of his entire life? "Ancestors, have you witnessed it? The 'Wuxuan Ascension Sword' has made its reappearance." Ke Wuxin, overwhelmed with emotion, tears welling in his eyes, slightly tilted his head towards the heavens. It was as if the spirits of a dozen former heads of the Imperial Academy possessed him at that instant. "A truly impressive sword technique. Ke Wuxin certainly possesses some skill," Simultaneously, Su Chen remarked with a smile, a flicker of admiration in his eyes. As he spoke to himself, a smile gracing his lips, his voice had barely faded. Then. He vanished completely. With a mere subtle movement. It was an act of instantaneous translocation. Unfathomably swift. He surged directly towards the resplendent light of the "Wuxuan Ascension Sword." Arriving before the sword's light. He threw a straightforward punch!!! A punch that was simple in appearance, yet profoundly complex in execution. Indeed, Su Chen chose not to employ the Illusion Crystal, nor the Seven-stage Sword Rhyme combined with the Nine Great Dao Rules and the Three Great Cosmic Treasures to manifest his sword. He also refrained from using the Zhan Cang Sword Array or any other formidable ultimate techniques. Su Chen utilized none of these. Well. Ke Wuxin was not deemed worthy of such displays yet. Regardless of how potent or heaven-defying Ke Wuxin's current abilities were. In truth, he was only at the Sixth Level of the Divine Lord Realm. With the added might from the Open Heaven Sword and the "Wuxuan Ascension Sword," Ke Wuxin's combat strength might now be comparable to that of the Early Stage of the Seventh Level of the Divine Lord Realm.
