Chapter 521: Spiritual And Martial Arts Merging Once More

“… Sword Intent Soul Realm”

A mutter spread out hundreds of miles away. Ling Xueyun was distracted as he looked at the sky in the distance.

He noticed something weird in this direction which was why he brought Xu Zhengyuan to rush over.

First, he witnessed the death of Mi Tuoluo. The terrifying black and white sword light which smashed Luoming from the Yuanshi Demon Sect in one slash.

The Gantian Mountain monster king was actually so strong…

Following this, he saw the arrival of the Sword Maniac, Yuan Wushang. He thought that Zong Shou was quite unfortunate and wouldn’t be able to survive this encounter. But who knew that their sword battle would be far more entertaining than he thought? It even exceeded the level where he himself was at!

In that instance, he had personally witnessed Zong Shou’s Sword Soul Level.

“Sword Intent Soul Realm? The sword already has its own soul? How is that possible?”

Xu Zhengyuan was startled before he shook his head. His cultivation was a little weaker and only managed to reach grade-7.

He was only able to view the scenes of the battle hundreds of miles away using spells.

At this moment, his heart had sunk to the deep depths. If Yuan Wushang had already reached the Sword Soul Level… then wouldn’t the ruler definitely lose?

In the battle of sword intents, just the thoughts and wills of two people battling weren’t enough. It also involved one’s control of the heaven and earth and also internal energy.

… The strength of True Qi and internal energy was decided by the strength of the Martial Path Intent.

This was why for some same grade cultivators, just by seeing the person’s Sword Sense and Sword Soul Level, the difference in strength couldn’t be calculated.

Ling Xueyun scoffed unhappily, “How is it impossible? Although I have never seen the Sword Soul Level before, I am still able to deduce it. These two people… their Sword Path has already connected to the spirit, this caused souls to have been born! They have really entered the Sword Soul Level. So extremely strong, really strong! In the Cloud World, there are actually such experts with such domineering swords! I, Xueyun, have really been viewing the skies from the bottom of a well!”

When Xu Zhengyuan heard this, he was stunned once more, “The both of them? Which means… my ruler… he…”

“That’s right! Your ruler really hid things deeply! The strength of his Sword Path is even higher than that of Yuan Wushang’s. The teen geniuses in this world are probably not stronger than him!”

After looking at Xu Zhengyuan with a complicated expression, Ling Xueyun shook his head, “Today, I finally know why the Kongqi Sect chose him instead of the Lingyun Sect. He indeed has unlimited potential. The Six Pinnacle Swords of the Cloud World… As expected! None of them are weak! Someone said that not long ago in the Common People’s vast habitat, Tanqiu and Jueyu fought against each other, they said that it was the peak of sword battle in the Cloud World. However, it seems like it was still weaker than this. Unfortunately, apart from you and I, no one else will have the fate to witness this grand fight…”

He remained startled as he looked on, Ling Xueyun had no intentions to call out his friends. He was a lone person, there were very few people that he was close to in his life. There were actually two he thought of, but they weren’t in the Cloud World as of now. At this moment, he just quietly observed from afar.

There was an uneasy beating in his heart, for some reason, he was both excited and emotional. Although he didn’t cultivate the sword, however, such a peak expert battle was extremely beneficial even for him.

It was a fortuitous encounter that everyone would dream about.

He thought to himself that he didn’t know whether or not Zong Shou would be able to safely leave this battle. If he could indeed survive from the hands of Yuan Wushang, he would definitely charge right away to the heavens…

Back on the island, Ye Feishuang’s hand was still over her mouth, she tried to supress her shock.

Sword Soul! This Zong Shou could actually make use of the Sword Soul realm! After he slayed Luoming and Mi Luotuo, she had thought that this was his limit…

However, now, she could only feel that the teen in front of her was like an abyss that one couldn’t see the bottom of. Sometimes, she thought that she had already seen the bottom of his potential, but after which, she found out that it was still far from what she could manage to discern.

Numerous swords clashed, the heavens were filled with vast energy, the Sword Wind and ripples scattered all over and spread in all directions. The clouds and wind in a hundred miles were all stirred up into a mess.

Zong Shou and Yuan Wushang separated once more. This time, the latter didn’t dare to take it too lightly and retreated a hundred thousand feet out before finally standing still.

Just now, they each struck out seven times and discerned that they were even. Bloody wounds appeared on the bodies of the both of them. However, what was surprising was that these injuries weren’t caused by each other.

The reason why they were injured was because their bodies couldn’t handle the Sword Intent Soul Realm.

With their Sword Souls clashing, the first thing that couldn’t handle the strain anymore were their bodies.

Yuan Wushang’s wounds were a little lesser, but this was because he was only a little stronger. Zong Shou also heaved a sigh of relief, his dual meridians finally had some benefits.

Just by using an initial grade-7 realm physical body, he was able to fight evenly with a grade-8 peak expert!

Yuan Wushang looked at his own body and laughed, he was filled with a crazed feeling.

“Your Sword Path is actually one with the spirit? Not bad! Not bad! I have fought 300 battles in my life and had never been injured. Not even Jueyu could injure me. But now… I really can’t be continued to be called ‘Wushang’…”

He continued once more, “I heard that a month ago, Tanqiu and Jueyu fought for 19,450 swords before victory was decided, they became legends of the Cloud World. Unfortunately, between you and I, we only have a few more battles left before we will be able to decide life and death. What a pity!”

Zong Shou’s expression didn’t change, he continued frowning as he looked below.

If both sides were on the same level, only then could they reach over ten thousand swords before victory would be decided. However, if there was a gap between the two… Even if it were just a few millimeters, victory would be decided within a few swords.

During the battle just now, Yuan Wushang had the advantage.

However, at this moment, what Zong Shou was paying attention to was at beneath his feet.

Although the intense battle was tens of thousands of feet above the sky, it had still started to affect the area down below. The island had already started to shake, buildings were about to collapse.

There weren’t any deaths yet, however, if this continued, this island in the Cloud Ocean would definitely suffer heavy casualties. More than ninety percent of the people here would die.

After thinking about it for a moment, Zong Shou looked towards Yuan Wushang, he said, “Let’s move places and fight outside Cloud World.”

Yuan Wushang was shocked. The teasing look in his eyes turned deeper. “Who knew that you were so merciful? Well… I don’t mind, but are you certain you want to fight in the vo–?”

Before he finished his words, Zong Shou used his Sword Spirit Level Martial Path Intent to rip open the space in front of him and he walked out.

If worlds were like bubbles, then where he was at right now was between those bubbles.

This place wasn’t as stable like the Vast Habitat, the void in which he was in was unstructured and chaotic.

Only by using one’s strong Martial Path Intent could one prevent their body from being ripped open by the violent energy.

Yuan Wushang shortly followed and stepped into this space which was filled with Void and Darkness. The two of them were unable to see but they could sense each other. Yuan Wushang was still laughing arrogantly.

“You’re a fool! I’m like fish in water here, I will win against you in less than five swords! The result of saving those millions of lives, you’re going to die in their stead!”

Two snake swords slashed out once more. He moved extremely naturally within this place, his sword was filled with a certain spiritual explosion power, but as the void spiritual energy exploded alongside with it, its strength was hundreds of times that of before.

Zong Shou didn’t even blink as he slashed out forward.

Nine Dragon Instant Space Sword!

With the Instant Space Dragon as the main body stacked with Lightning and Wind. Whenever he would slash out, Zong Shou’s position would change.

This was because the Instant Space Dragon had the natural ability to teleport. He could move freely here! He had the Eon Talisman in his soul and he was practical a giant dragon.

Yuan Wushang was slightly surprised but still scoffed coldly. His body teleported and he dodged the sword slash.

Sword light clashed within the void as they instantly attacked many times. The both of them would suddenly appear and disappear about in this place.

Back within the Cloud World, Ye Feishuang was anxious. She thought about what was happening solemnly and summoned the giant boat once more before pulling Ye Feihan up.

Zong Yuan’s brow rose up, but Ruoshui and he still stepped into the void without hesitation.

Ye Feishuang didn’t chase them but instead allowed the Ice Serpent to control and shrink the boat to a hundred feet. It smashed the void and broke open the space pillar, therefore exiting the Cloud World.

Ling Xueyun who was a hundred miles away did something similar. He didn’t have a boat but he had many spiritual artifacts with him.

He took out a leaf and stepped on it. After brief moment of hesitation, he pulled Xu Zhengyuan and charged into the void.

The moment he stepped in, Yuan Wushang’s laughter could be heard.

“Interesting! Who knew that your space technique wasn’t below mine? This is fun!”

There wasn’t any sound in the void but Yuan Wushang was able to reverberate his energy such that one could hear him.

“Jueyu, a few years ago, was like this! He surprised me a lot! However, unfortunately… He was able to live, but you won’t have that chance!”

He slashed out once more. The attack of the two snake swords changed, becoming really deceitful and solid.

Instantly, the soul power that had spread all out gathered on the sword body.

The two snake-shaped sword light increased in size and became a hundred times faster.

Ye Feishuang, who was observing on the ship took a deep breath in as she saw this scene.

Ling Xueyun, who was maintaining his distance, had his pupils constricted.

… Martial Path and Spirit Merging!

Zong Shou frowned. He could sense Yuan Wushang’s attack getting much stronger.

The Sword Intent was locked into him such that he couldn’t move. He also didn’t feel like he could fight back at all.

Was he really going to lose?

However, despite his situation, he was really calm. He thought about his Father-in-Law who often wanted to get him drinks, Wei Xu was the same. They said that if he couldn’t beat them then if he drank, he would win. It was really confusing.

He was now cultivating both Yin and Yang and his weaknesses were fixed. Unless it was a high-grade Celestial Brew, it was extremely hard for him to get drunk.

The sword was right in front of him, he could already feel his flesh opening up. His eyes opened and he instinctively attacked back.

Platinum Dragon Sword, Slash!

Even if Zong Shou knew he was losing he still wouldn’t give up.

The moment he slashed out, True Qi and spiritual energy merged together.

… Spirit and Martial Arts were merging into one!
