Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 422: Chapter 418: All Trump Cards Out

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone stared, dumbfounded, as if they had just witnessed a divine miracle.

Ning Jiang, fighting one against seven, had actually defeated the seven prodigies with a single blow?

What terrifying power!

Who were these seven prodigies?

They were the favored disciples nurtured by Super Sects, the absolute pinnacle of the younger generation in the Six Eastern Provinces, looking down on countless their age. Despite being in the Immortal Realm, their cultivation allowed them to fight across levels and slay experts in the Earth Martial Realm. Their combat prowess was so immense that no word but "prodigy" could possibly do it justice.

Yet, right before everyone’s eyes, Ning Jiang had fought one-on-seven and repelled all seven prodigies in a single strike!

Even Ling Tianxu of the Sword King Body was probably no better than this, right?

’Damn it, how can his mastery of a Domain have reached this level?’

The seven prodigies, their faces pale, stared at Ning Jiang in shock.

It wasn’t as if they had never fought against the Earth Martial Realm experts in their sects. But those experts’ control over their Domain Power was incredibly shallow. They typically just spread their Domain Power out in a circle around them.

Anyone who stepped into this circular Domain would then be suppressed by its power.

But Ning Jiang’s strike just now had somehow condensed his Domain Power to a single point and focused it onto his sword. That was why the slash possessed such an unstoppable, divine might.

They had never seen such a combat technique!

"A pity."

Despite having repelled the seven prodigies with a single strike, Ning Jiang let out a soft sigh and shook his head.

’Although my application of the Domain far surpasses that of ordinary Earth Martial Realm experts, my current Domain can only be called a Pseudo-Domain.’

’Only when I step into the Earth Martial Realm can I master a true Domain,’ Ning Jiang thought. ’Moreover, the Domain formed by the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill is a Devouring Domain. Any attacks that fall into it would be devoured completely, unlike now, where I can only defend against them.’

’If it were a Devouring Domain, I wouldn’t even need my sword. I could just envelop them with the Domain and consume them into nothingness.’

"Everyone, this man is too formidable! We can’t hold back any longer. It’s time to use our full strength!"

Jian Jiuge barked, his eyes fixed on Ning Jiang with extreme wariness.

He had only felt such wariness from one other person in his entire life: Sword King Body Ling Tianxu.

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, knowing they could no longer afford to hold back.

This seemingly young man before them was an unprecedented foe, one who could perhaps even rival the famed Sword King Body.

"Ning Jiang, in this entire world, no one besides my junior brother Ling Tianxu has ever forced me to use my full strength! You should feel honored to witness this next technique!"

Jian Jiuge took a step forward, and nine incredibly sharp streams of Sword Qi suddenly erupted from his body.

"Innate Sword Qi, manifest!"

With a great shout, every pore on his body began to breathe Sword Qi. Gradually, his entire form was submerged in the brilliant energy, blazing as intensely as a torch.

Then, one after another, streams of Sword Qi materialized above his head.

Nine streams of Sword Qi appeared in succession, forming a single, straight line.

"Nine strands of Innate Sword Qi! Senior Brother Jian Jiuge is putting his life on the line!"

The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect exclaimed upon seeing this scene.

When Jian Jiuge was born, he fused with nine strands of Innate Sword Qi from the Celestial Sword Sect’s Sword Pool. Each strand took a hundred years to form, making them precious beyond measure.

The moment these nine strands of Sword Qi appeared, a vicious storm of sword energy swept through the surrounding space.

’Any single one of those strands of Sword Qi has the power to kill an Earth Martial Realm expert.’

A chill went through the hearts of the many prodigies. The disciples of the Celestial Sword Sect, however, were brimming with confidence. "With nine strands of Innate Sword Qi unleashed, that guy is as good as dead!"

"Hahaha! Jian Jiuge, since you’ve played your trump card, I have no reason to hide my true power either!"

A booming laugh rang out; the speaker was Zhi Tianhou.

The flame-shaped mark between his eyebrows began to burn with incandescent light. After a few breaths, the mark detached from his forehead, transforming into a fire lotus.

This Fire Lotus was a brilliant crimson, as if condensed from blood itself. The moment it appeared, the entire area became scorchingly hot, making people feel as if they had been cast into a furnace to be burned alive.

"Legend has it that when Zhi Tianhou was born, a natural phenomenon occurred, and a Celestial Fire merged with his body. The rumors were true after all."

It was the first time many of the other prodigies had seen it as well.

Following the scorching flame, a bone-chilling cold quickly spread through the air.

All eyes turned toward Yan Qingxue.

Yan Qingxue’s long, black hair was starting to turn the color of ice and snow. Her pupils became like white jewels, and a single glance from her eyes felt incomparably cold.

She clasped her hands together, and an Ice Pearl condensed between her palms.

"They say that when Yan Qingxue was born, she caused one of Snow God Hall’s unique treasures, the Myriad Year Snow Cold Pearl, to resonate with her. The Myriad Year Snow Cold Pearl then fused with her body and became her Lifebound Treasure. From the looks of it, that’s the pearl right there."

The onlookers were inwardly shocked; the frigid aura emanating from the Myriad Year Snow Cold Pearl was no less intense than the heat from Zhi Tianhou’s Fire Lotus.

"Primordial Giant Spirit Body! Giant Spirit Technique!"

Elsewhere, Xia Tianyu of the Primordial Sect let out a heaven-shaking roar.

His Blood Qi surged frantically, and the muscles all over his body bulged. Then, under the astonished gazes of the countless onlookers, his body began to rapidly expand.

In the span of a few breaths, he transformed into a giant a hundred zhang tall.

"So this is the mystery of the Giant Spirit Body? Legend says that the Primordial Giant Spirit Body cultivation technique was something the Primordial Sect brought out of the Ancient Forbidden Land. It was supposedly a technique from the Giant Clan of Ancient Times. Could the stories actually be true?"

Looking at Xia Tianyu, who now resembled a primeval giant, many of the prodigies couldn’t help but cry out in astonishment.

Xia Tianyu was now demonstrating the true might of the Primordial Giant Spirit Body. Before this massive giant, no one doubted that he possessed the strength to slay a Flood Dragon.

Four of the prodigies had now revealed their ultimate trump cards.

Duan Wudao of Moon God Palace naturally held nothing back. One of his eyes turned white and the other black. Behind him, a moon shimmering with both black and white light materialized.

Destructive ripples of power burst forth from this strange moon.

Xu Yuanfeng took a deep breath, and all the Spiritual Qi in the heavens surged toward his body. A moment later, he unleashed a pillar of light that shot skyward, piercing through heaven and earth.

"That’s Void True Qi!"

Sensing this pure power, the hearts of the onlookers couldn’t help but tremble.

When cultivated to a profound level, the Void Sect’s Void Scripture allows one to condense a wisp of Void True Qi within the body. This Void True Qi is powerful enough to amplify a Martial Artist’s attacks tenfold.

Finally, there was Jing Fanzheng of Wuliang Palace.

He glanced at Ning Jiang. Even though he knew Ning Jiang was a pawn of Wuliang Palace, he couldn’t afford to hold back in this situation.

He opened his mouth and uttered six strange syllables in a row.

"It’s Wuliang Palace’s Six-Character Grand Judgment!"

These six syllables transformed into six deadly weapons, slashing forward like bolts of thunder.
