Chapter 348: The Battle of Golden Core
The heavy sword had no edge!
Once he reached Elder Seven’s cultivation level, whether the blade was sharpened no longer mattered. Infused with true qi, wherever it passed, shattering mountains and splitting rocks was effortless.
Born as a Sword was the ultimate Celestial Technique passed down through Elder Seven’s lineage for countless generations.
For millennia, successive Sect Leaders of the Heavenly Sword Sect had coveted this technique yet failed to obtain it. When perfected, this sword strike’s power defied imagination – enough to split the heavens and shatter stars.
Elder Seven’s Golden Core stage cultivation far surpassed Ye Yun’s. With innumerable Celestial Techniques at his disposal, the destructive potential of combining them all into Born as a Sword was beyond comprehension.
Ye Yun’s pulse quickened. Elder Seven had proven an unreliable master, instructing him only twice since accepting him as disciple. Without the Heart of Immortals and Demons refining his soul and Marrow Cleansing altering his talents, how could Ye Yun have mastered such swordplay?
Witnessing Elder Seven’s full power today offered priceless insights. After this battle, his understanding of Celestial Techniques would undoubtedly deepen.
“Born as a Sword?”
Yan Changchun’s pupils narrowed. This was the technique generations of Sect Leaders had coveted. Adding it to the Zang Wu Pavilion would greatly strengthen their sect – yet like his predecessors, Elder Seven ignored such requests.
For years, Yan Changchun had tried deducing the technique’s secrets through observation. The actual execution mattered little if one grasped its essence. He stared intently at Elder Seven.
Behind him, the normally reserved Elder Zi’s eyes glinted. Though he’d suspected Elder Seven’s cultivation might surpass his own, he never imagined the man had reached Golden Core stage long ago. That scattered demeanor had been mere pretense.
Now hearing Elder Seven would unleash his legendary strike, Elder Zi burned with anticipation to measure their difference.
“Born as a Sword?” Elder Jin arched an eyebrow. While aware of its power, fellow Golden Core experts didn’t frighten easily.
“Watch closely, boy. I’ll only demonstrate once.” Ignoring Elder Jin, Elder Seven kept his gaze on Ye Yun.
Ye Yun nodded vigorously, eyes shining.
Elder Seven smiled faintly and turned.
Instantly, the Judgment Platform’s atmosphere transformed. Surging Sword Energy rippled from Elder Seven’s body, each strand striking the railings with metallic chimes as it condensed into tangible force.
This was the mark of touching the Sword Path’s essence – when fully mastered, all things become blades. Mountains, leaves, flowing water, flames, even the air itself turns lethal.
The Sword Energy suddenly exploded, swirling across the platform. Ye Yun saw countless Celestial Techniques materialize within the storm, merging into the heavy sword as ethereal figures. Dozens fused within moments.
The originally black blade shed its dark coating like peeling paint, revealing pristine white beneath. A jade-like great sword now lay across the platform, radiating soft light.
“Born as a Sword!”
Elder Seven thrust his right finger downward. The white sword plummeted like a falling mountain, crushing all beneath.
But reducing it to mere mountain-smashing underestimated its complexity. Sword shadows coalesced into the Ancient Mountain of the Gods while lightning shot from its peak toward Elder Jin. The bolt exploded into a purple net moments before impact.
No Foundation Establishment cultivator could survive this. Even Golden Core stage Mei Yansheng would be pulverized instantly.
Yet Elder Jin showed no fear. Coolly eyeing the sky, he produced a blue jade plate that soared upward, expanding to shield the entire platform. Blue light flared, arresting the sword arc’s descent.
Their collision unleashed tsunami-like force. The Judgment Platform shattered explosively, fragments flying with mountain-piercing force. Late-stage Foundation Establishment experts roared, shielding juniors with glowing defenses.
Golden Core experts’ casual clash already wreaked such devastation!
Hovering amid the debris, both elders remained calm. Elder Seven formed a sword seal. The white blade hummed powerfully.
A transparent dragon erupted from the sword, smashing the jade plate to sparkling shards. Continuing unchecked, it snapped at Elder Jin.
Murderous intent flashed as Elder Jin’s Long Knife appeared. An invisible slash bisected the dragon, scattering its remnants.
The Golden Core experts hovered evenly matched.
Ye Yun frowned. This wasn’t the Born as a Sword he knew! True mastery simplified countless techniques into one peerless strike – no elaborate displays, just world-sundering power.
This strike held different essence entirely.
This… wasn’t Born as a Sword!
