Chapter 768: A Sword That Cleaves Nine Tribulations, A Sword Beyond the Nascent Soul Realm
When they saw the Small World appear in Lu Qing’s hand, every powerhouse’s hair stood on end in an instant.
An extreme chill surged up from the depths of their souls, sweeping through their entire bodies.
That Small World in Lu Qing’s palm radiated an unimaginably terrifying aura.
It made them tremble uncontrollably—minds shaking, their nascent souls feeling as though they were swallowed by an immense shadow.
Some couldn’t even hold back anymore and immediately activated movement techniques, trying to flee on the spot.
But it was already too late.
The moment the Small World manifested, it began to expand.
In the span of a few breaths, it covered the entire Spirit Jade Plaza.
Everyone immediately felt as if they’d been dragged into a real, living world, their connection to the outside nearly severed.
Even the purple-robed, dragon-clad middle-aged man was the same.
He discovered that his link to the void had been greatly weakened.
Even his perception of the Sea of Laws became far more blurred, and his heart jolted with alarm.
One had to understand—he was currently at Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations. Only one step remained before he could enter the Dao-Integration realm, a pinnacle Nascent Soul who stood at the very last threshold.
His soul’s connection to the Sea of Laws was already incomparably tight; with a single thought, he could commune with it.
Yet now, that connection had actually been diminished. What secret technique was this brat using?!
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. The purple-robed man immediately steadied his spirit and assumed a battle stance.
He understood this time he had encountered an unprecedented foe.
Regret was useless now. There was only one path left—fight!
He refused to believe that he, a dignified Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations, couldn’t break through this secret technique.
“What secret technique is that?”
Inside the Guixu Immortal Palace, Old Canglong and the other two were equally stunned.
They could sense that the move Lu Qing was using now contained the aura of many sword-dao secret techniques.
Among them was even the aura of the master’s 【Guixu Unfettered Sword Technique】.
But the master’s 【Guixu Unfettered Sword Technique】 was profound beyond measure.
Even those in the Dao-Integration realm found it difficult to fully comprehend and completely master it.
Let alone fuse it into another secret technique—was that something a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could do?
Even though Old Canglong and the other two knew Lu Qing’s sword-dao talent was extraordinarily high, they still found it hard to believe.
“Old man, this is a sword move I’ve newly comprehended. Since you’re Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations, you can barely be considered qualified to witness it. To die beneath this strike is your honor.”
High above, after using the Sword Dao Domain to shroud the entire plaza, Lu Qing looked down with an indifferent expression.
“Arrogant brat. If you’ve got the skill, then show it. I want to see whether your sword-dao is as impressive as your mouth!”
The purple-robed man snorted coldly. A suit of purple armor surged over his body, and a purple dragon spear appeared in his hand.
The instant these two treasures emerged, his aura grew even more ferocious, already no weaker than many veteran Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations.
He even forcibly pried open a bit of space within the surrounding domain’s pressure.
“The Great Yuan Spirit Armor, the Spirit-Devouring Dragon Spear! The Great Yuan Immortal Clan’s clan lord is truly going all-in. He actually brought these two inherited spirit vessels in as well. Is he not afraid that if he falls, these two inherited treasures will be lost inside the Gui Xu Secret Realm?”
Seeing the two treasures the purple-robed man displayed, powerhouses who recognized their origins were immediately shaken.
Because that purple armor and purple dragon spear had once been famous across the starry skies as upper-grade, perfect-completion spirit vessels.
Only a hair’s breadth away from the legendary supreme-grade spirit vessel tier.
They were one of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan’s true foundations.
No one expected the Great Yuan Immortal Clan’s clan lord to bring them in this time.
With two upper-grade spirit vessels on him, the purple-robed man’s momentum became even more terrifying.
Yet even with two upper-grade spirit vessels reinforcing him, he still couldn’t fly.
This only made him more certain that Lu Qing was relying on the power of some strange treasure to shake off the secret realm’s suppression and ascend into the sky.
He stared at Lu Qing above. The purple dragon spear in his hand suddenly crackled with lightning.
In the next moment, he hurled it with savage force, and it transformed into a streak of purple thunder, shooting straight toward Lu Qing.
This strike was earth-shattering. The lightning formed by the spear was frighteningly powerful—so much so that even the surrounding space rippled faintly.
Its speed reached an extreme. In a blink, it was already before Lu Qing.
Just as everyone thought Lu Qing would use the same method as before—turning into a phantom to evade—
In the next instant, all their eyes widened.
Facing the purple-robed man’s terrifying attack, Lu Qing showed no intent to dodge at all.
Instead, he directly extended one hand and, in the split-second before impact, reached for that purple thunder.
Boom!
Lu Qing grabbed the purple thunder in a single clutch. Instantly, lightning exploded everywhere, as if it meant to annihilate everything around it.
Yet within that storm of lightning that resembled the end of the world, Lu Qing stood like a divine mountain planted in the heart of a tempest—immovable.
Countless bolts struck his body. Not only did they fail to harm him in the slightest, they instead fused into his flesh in an eerie way.
The purple thunder revealed the dragon spear’s true form in his grasp, vibrating and twisting madly, as though it had encountered something horrifying and was desperately trying to break free from Lu Qing’s palm and escape.
Unfortunately, it was all futile.
Lu Qing’s arm was like a pillar that held up the heavens, gripping the purple dragon spear so tightly it had no chance to struggle free.
“Be quiet,” Lu Qing said flatly. “Or I’ll eat you.”
At the same time, the lightning on the purple dragon spear surged even more violently, pouring into Lu Qing’s body.
The spear shuddered at once, then obediently floated in Lu Qing’s hand, not daring to move again.
After subduing the spear, Lu Qing looked at the lightning around him and suddenly opened his mouth, drawing in a breath.
In the next moment, countless strands of purple lightning, like swallows returning to their nest, all shot into Lu Qing’s mouth.
In only a few breaths’ time, the sky-filling lightning vanished completely—swallowed in a single gulp.
After devouring the lightning, Lu Qing smacked his lips as if savoring an aftertaste. Then he shook his head and looked down.
“Your mana lightning is still far too inferior compared to heavenly tribulation lightning.”
“How is that possible…”
All the powerhouses watching this scene went rigid.
A full-power strike from a dignified Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations had been dissolved so easily.
That lightning carried terrifying might. Any single strand could have slain a Nascent Soul above the fifth tribulation—yet Lu Qing had swallowed it in one bite.
And what had he just said—that the taste of this lightning was worse than heavenly tribulation lightning? Could it be he had even eaten heavenly tribulation lightning before?
Was this truly something a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could do?
Could this mysterious sword cultivator actually be a legendary Dao-Integration great expert?
“This can’t be! What kind of monster are you?!”
Among everyone present, the one who found it most impossible to believe was the purple-robed middle-aged man.
He couldn’t accept that his all-out strike hadn’t even managed to harm a single hair on the other party’s head.
Even worse, the clan’s inherited spirit vessel seemed to have been temporarily suppressed, unable to move.
How could he not be shocked and incredulous?
“It seems you have no other moves,” Lu Qing said, uninterested in answering his question. “In that case, take one from me.”
With a thought, within the range covered by the Sword Dao Domain, the vast sky suddenly filled with countless stars.
The moment they appeared, those stars began to merge with one another.
In only a few breaths, they fused into a blazing, dazzling mass of light that hovered before Lu Qing.
Lu Qing loosened his grip on the purple dragon spear and gently extended his arm toward the light.
Then the light began to change, transforming into a sword of radiance that fell into Lu Qing’s hand.
Throughout the entire process, the purple dragon spear floated there meekly, not daring to make the slightest unusual movement.
With the radiant sword in hand, an incomparably sharp, heaven-cleaving, earth-splitting killing sword intent rose from Lu Qing.
All of these changes sounded complicated, but in truth they occurred in an extremely short span.
From the appearance of the star-filled sky to their fusion into a sword of light, and then the sword landing in Lu Qing’s hand—no more than one or two breaths passed.
And at this moment, the experts below were still caught in shock, only able to watch helplessly.
“If you can take this sword and not die, I’ll spare your life.”
Lu Qing’s indifferent words fell from the heavens.
Along with them fell a sword light so brilliant it was blinding.
That sword light was like the world’s only existence.
The instant it appeared, it stole everyone’s mind and spirit.
Before anyone could react at all, the sword light swept straight across the purple-robed middle-aged man’s body.
This sword’s might was restrained to the extreme—no energy eruption, no deafening explosion.
Everything happened in utter silence.
The purple-robed man only shuddered faintly, and the aura of life on him began to dissipate.
On the ground behind him, a thin crack quietly appeared—so deep its end could not be seen.
Lu Qing slowly descended from the sky, and the Sword Dao Domain that had enveloped the entire plaza gradually dispersed as well.
At last, Lu Qing landed in front of the purple-robed middle-aged man.
From beginning to end, the purple-robed man had not shown a single reaction.
His gaze was vacant, his eyes devoid of all light.
Lu Qing brushed his sleeve lightly. A breeze passed, and beneath the armor’s covering, the purple-robed man’s body suddenly turned to dust and scattered in every direction.
All that remained was the dull, lusterless purple armor and a few scattered treasures, clattering onto the ground.
He had long since been reduced to true ash beneath that sword—completely annihilated in body and soul.
“Clan Lord!”
Among the Great Yuan Immortal Clan’s experts, someone couldn’t help crying out in grief, but a clansman beside him quickly clamped a hand over his mouth.
The other powerhouses were already dumbstruck, minds blank.
Lu Qing didn’t care. He collected the purple-robed man’s belongings and swept his gaze over the surroundings.
Wherever that gaze landed, everyone’s bodies trembled, not daring to meet his eyes.
Even certain renowned experts who feared nothing outside were the same.
There was no helping it—this person before them was simply too terrifying.
That was a Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations—an apex powerhouse who had stepped into the final tribulation of the Nascent Soul Realm.
Yet he had been cut into flying ash with a single sword.
No one could even imagine what level Lu Qing’s strength had reached.
But judging from that one sword alone, it was the most terrifying sword move they had ever seen in their lives.
Even a sword cultivator at Nascent Soul perfection might not be able to slash such a dreadful strike.
If not for the Gui Xu Secret Realm forbidding cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm from entering, they would truly have believed Lu Qing was a genuine Dao-Integration great expert in disguise.
But no matter what realm Lu Qing was at, it was obvious that with the strength he had displayed, even if he wanted to slaughter everyone present, it wouldn’t take much effort.
Faced with such a monster, how could they not be careful?
If they angered him, there likely wouldn’t be any second ending besides being reduced to ash.
Lu Qing looked around once, saw everyone avoiding his gaze as if he were a venomous serpent, and shook his head. He didn’t say anything more. With a thought, he vanished from where he stood and returned to the Guixu Immortal Palace.
He didn’t attack anyone else.
He didn’t even bother with the remaining members of the Great Yuan Immortal Clan.
Hah!
When Lu Qing disappeared and they could no longer sense his aura, the experts on the plaza didn’t even have time to think about how he had left.
They only felt their hearts loosen, and all of them let out a huge breath.
Some Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with weaker Dao Hearts only discovered at this moment that their palms and backs were already ice-cold.
As Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses, in the face of Lu Qing’s dreadful presence, they had actually broken out in a long-lost cold sweat.
“Has Ah Qing’s sword-dao already reached this level?”
Inside the Guixu Immortal Palace, Old Canglong and the other two fell into a long silence after witnessing that sword.
After quite a while, Old Canglong couldn’t help but sigh.
Black Savage Bull and Ming Feng were equally shaken.
Compared to those Nascent Soul Realm youngsters outside, as beings of the Dao-Integration realm, they could naturally see far more.
But precisely because of that, their hearts were even more stunned by Lu Qing’s performance.
They could all tell that the sword he had just unleashed had already surpassed the limits of the Nascent Soul Realm, nearly truly touching the level of the Dao-Integration realm.
Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to kill a true Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations—nor would it have even torn open a trace of the secret realm’s restrictions.
To be honest, if Lu Qing had merely slain a Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations, Old Canglong and the others would not have been this shocked.
After all, when Lu Qing was only at a Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul, he could already easily suppress and kill someone like Mo Tushan—an eight-tribulation perfected Nascent Soul on the level of a heaven-proud genius.
And though the purple-robed man was a Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations, he had only just broken through not long ago, his talent was ordinary, and his gap with Mo Tushan wasn’t actually that large.
After Lu Qing stepped into the sixth tribulation, being able to kill him was not that unexpected.
What truly stunned Old Canglong and the others was that Lu Qing’s sword just now not only killed the purple-robed man, it also cut open a sliver of the secret realm’s restriction.
One had to know—the secret realm’s restrictions had been personally laid down by the master.
Power at the Nascent Soul Realm could not possibly damage it.
Yet Lu Qing’s sword light had been able to slice it open by a trace.
This meant that sword had already exceeded the limits of the Nascent Soul Realm!
