Eternal Saber

And now, this gigantic figure seven or eight zhang tall stands towering over everything, bringing an overwhelming shock to everyone.

In the presence of this figure, the people of Xiping Temple are as insignificant as ants.

"What is this?"

Everyone’s faces are filled with astonishment.

Through the ages, even in legends, such power has never emerged in this land!

This gigantic spirit exudes an unparalleled pressure, and with just a movement, it seems capable of destroying heaven and earth.

Some people, unable to bear the impact, instinctively kneeled, offering their worship.

A true immortal might not be more than this.

This gigantic spirit clearly contains a power one level higher than the Transformation Realm.

In the instant it rose, the eighteen Arhats and the illusory forms of the gods and buddhas surrounding the Dao Sect could no longer sustain themselves, scattering completely.

The Zen Sect was struck as if by lightning, bloodless and coughing up a large mouthful of blood.

Dharma Realm?

Is this what stands above the Transformation Realm?

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

The gigantic spirit spread open its enormous palm, and the thirty-two Golden-Winged Flying Swords quickly gathered together, merging into a Golden Feather Sword that blazed brightly, its sharpness unstoppable!

The gigantic spirit swung the sword forward in a slice.

Boom!

With a single slash, it shattered the sword intent and saber intent of the five Grandmasters like drying twigs.

The gap in power was too vast.

It was an absolute suppression from a higher level realm!

Clang!

The sword edge struck against the ’Divine Art’ treasure saber of Emperor Wu.

Crack!

The treasure saber that had accompanied Emperor Wu in countless battles broke instantly.

Emperor Wu shuddered violently, his expression shifting several times before he spat a mouthful of blood and staggered back a few steps.

Injured, Emperor Wu did not advance again but closed his eyes as if contemplating something.

"Dharma Realm, Dharma..."

Clang!

The Golden Feather Sword clashed with the Sword Sect’s long sword.

The void trembled slightly.

The Sword Sect’s sword paused mid-air, then suddenly shattered into countless fragments, falling down.

The Sword Sect’s eyes dimmed, and in an instant, he seemed to age significantly.

The foot of the gigantic spirit heavily stomped into the dark abyss below.

Rumble!

The Abyss of Evil Thoughts was crushed as if the sky and earth had collapsed under the giant spirit’s tread!

The Demon Venerable staggered, his chest bursting open, suddenly ejecting a spray of blood.

The Cyan Nether Sword Intent collapsed, revealing the true form of the Evil Emperor.

The Unity of Man and Sword state was also shattered.

A gigantic hand descended from the sky, directly grabbing the Evil Emperor, squeezing hard as if wanting to crush him!

Poof!

How could the Evil Emperor resist such power, his entire body exploding in a cloud of blood mist.

Everyone was appalled.

Five Grandmasters of the Transformation Realm.

Arguably the five strongest individuals in the world, yet together they were completely defeated by the Dao Sect.

"Hahahaha!"

The Profound Celestial Sect Leader laughed out loud, saying, "You’re finished!"

"The destruction of Buddhism by Daqian was just a bait, the real purpose was to force out the Zen Sect, and then capture you Grandmasters all in one net! Most important of all, it was to force Emperor Wu to show himself!"

Hearing the words of the Profound Celestial Sect Leader, everyone was deeply shocked.

Qifu Qin was filled with regret.

What was he thinking, to be drawn into a war of this level.

He was a First Grade Grandmaster, but before this group of terrifying strongmen, he couldn’t even muster a counterattack.

The Evil Emperor was tightly grasped by the giant hand transformed by the Dao Sect, obviously in extreme pain but uttered not a single word.

Her gaze was only fixed on Emperor Wu not far below.

At this moment, in her heart, there was not a trace of resentment towards Emperor Wu.

She wouldn’t survive this.

The past resentments no longer mattered.

She just wanted to look at Emperor Wu one more time.

The Sword Sect, Zen Sect, and Demon Venerable also had their eyes fixed on Emperor Wu.

The three were heavily injured but didn’t make a sound to disturb, seemingly awaiting something.

In the shadows, a burly man wielding a double-edged battle axe watched the giant spirit rise abruptly in the distance, similarly shocked, and murmured, "So that’s how it is..."

A silver-haired man exuding an aura of coldness felt an indescribable shock, yet seemed to gain some insight, softly saying, "Is this the power beyond the Transformation Realm?"

An elder slightly squinted his eyes and murmured, "Dharma Aspect, Dharma Aspect, this is the path to the future."

"So that’s how it is."

At this moment, Emperor Wu suddenly opened his eyes wide, a fierce fluctuation bursting from his Divine Soul, Heaven and Man Interacting, channeling the Power of Heaven and Earth. He roared, "Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect!"

Whoosh!

Behind Emperor Wu, a giant spirit seven zhang tall suddenly rose, resembling Emperor Wu, with long hair wildly dancing, exuding an aura that challenged the heavens!

"Hmm?"

Dao Sect’s expression changed, unable to suppress a sense of dread.

His wariness of Emperor Wu was indeed justified.

Just from seeing him manifest this Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, Emperor Wu had broken through the bottleneck in such a short time to reach this realm!

Of course, Emperor Wu’s Divine Soul realm was insufficient, forcibly condensing a Dharma Aspect, it would not last long.

"Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies!"

The Dharma Aspect behind Emperor Wu suddenly reached out and grabbed the Broken Blade Divine Technique, eyes wide open, swinging a saber forward.

This saber move was exceedingly slow.

So slow it became an extreme, forming a stark contrast with the Burning Wood Saber.

So slow that, watching it, Dao Sect felt almost stifled and nauseous.

Yet as the Divine Technique moved slowly, between heaven and earth, there was an endless brilliance of saber light.

Eight Desolates and Six Harmonies, all within a single slash!

Dao Sect dared not wait any longer, wielding the Golden Feather Sword, he rushed towards Emperor Wu’s Dharma Aspect.

Boom boom boom!

The two Dharma Aspects clashed mid-air, sabers and swords crossing, no metallic clatter but erupting with a series of thunderous booms, making the earth tremble and mountains shake!

This was the collision of the power of the Dharma Realm.

Even the residual force from this outburst was enough to pin everyone around them, unable to move.

The two Dharma Aspects tussled through more than ten bouts, eventually their forms fading, gradually dissipating into the cosmos.

Yet Emperor Wu could no longer stand, collapsing into a seated position on the ground, his face pale.

Though Dao Sect’s Dharma Aspect dissipated, he did not seem significantly damaged, his condition far better than Emperor Wu’s.

"Your Divine Soul realm isn’t enough, with a severely injured body, even if you temporarily condense a Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect, you cannot defy heaven and alter fate!"

Dao Sect approached Emperor Wu, saying indifferently, "Back then, you ought to have died at Martial General Mountain. Since you survived, I will personally kill you this time!"

"Dao Sect, you are defeated."

Emperor Wu suddenly chuckled.

"Oh?"

Dao Sect raised a brow, unmoved.

"No one knows what the path beyond the Transformation Realm truly is."

Sword Sect spoke, "The only one with a chance to deduce the next realm, Brother Qin, is hindered by his Divine Soul injuries, unable to cultivate."

Demon Venerable said, "If I help him heal the Divine Soul’s wound, yet the time left to him is scarce."

Evil Emperor, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes, said, "In all under heaven, only you know of the realm beyond the Transformation Realm."

Dao Sect seemed to think of something, his expression uncertain.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tang was enlightened.

No wonder Emperor Wu had instructed him to carefully observe Dao Sect’s moves, to comprehend Dao Sect’s power.

Emperor Wu and the others had long seen through Beiqian’s intent to extinguish Buddhism.

Yet they chose to make an appearance.

Only by doing so, could they possibly force Dao Sect to reveal the methods beyond the Transformation Realm, allowing others to glimpse the path ahead!

Emperor Wu once, on his own, deduced the Transformation Realm and gathered the Grandmasters of the world at Kunlun.

And now, he has no time left.

None of them have time.

Therefore, Emperor Wu, Zen Sect, Sword Sect, Evil Emperor, Demon Venerable—the five Grandmasters of the Transformation Realm—chose to personally join the fray, using their blood to pierce through the fog beyond the Transformation Realm, allowing the people present to glimpse a ray of heavenly light!

"So what?"

Dao Sect was silent for a while, then suddenly snorted coldly, "Not everyone has your kind of talent!"

"That might not be so."

Emperor Wu smiled faintly, saying, "Don’t forget, among the Nine Great Sects, besides the few of us, there are others who have already cultivated to the brink of the Transformation Realm, just a step away from the Dharma Realm."

"After today’s battle, your adversaries will only be more numerous."

"Barbarian Lord, Blade Emperor, and another..."

Dao Sect’s gaze turned cold, his attention shifting to three other directions.

He had long sensed the presence of these three.

But, Emperor Wu was more critical, so he hadn’t bothered with them yet.

Now, as the battle concluded, with Emperor Wu’s words, Dao Sect turned his mind directly to the three.

"Quickly, go!"

At this moment, Emperor Wu conveyed to Chen Tang.
