Chapter 692: Innate Sword Body again!
"No wonder I always felt that the Grand Profound Five Elements Sword still had many imperfections. It turns out that the fusion of the Five Elements is not true perfection."
Li Yun’s eyes sparkled with sharp light as endless insights rose in his heart.
"The fusion of the Five Elements further gives rise to the powers of wind and thunder. This is the true perfection of the Five Elements."
"The power of the Five Elements plus the power of wind and thunder is the ultimate."
"The Grand Profound Five Elements Sword, although it is currently my strongest sword technique at the Heavenly Core Realm level, still has room for improvement. Combining the Five Elements with wind and thunder is the truly strongest sword technique."
"This strike shall be called the Five Elements Wind and Thunder Sword."
Li Yun let out a sharp cry, his eyes bursting with boundless divine light as he suddenly struck with his sword.
This sword strike extended for a full three hundred meters, with five-colored light flowing across it as the power of the Five Elements circulated.
Finally, the five colors rotated rapidly and fused, giving rise to green and purple glows.
The green and purple lights intertwined. Under their illumination, the sword beam became even more brilliant and sharp. Wind howled and thunder roared, elevating the power of this strike to an unimaginable level.
This strike was the ultimate evolution of the Five Elements.
It was a strike containing great destruction and great slaughter.
This strike could only be described as stunning and terrifying.
Chiii!
The three-hundred-meter-long Sword Qi crashed down, its sharp energy emitting dazzling light. The light was so blindingly brilliant that even an ordinary 9th level Heavenly Core Realm cultivator would be blinded if they looked directly at it.
Screech!
A sharp scream rang out.
The Golden-Winged Great Peng seemed to sense the threat, and its entire body erupted with intense golden light like a golden sun, forming a Golden Protective Shield several meters thick in front of it.
Chiii!
However, as the green and purple Sword Qi fell, wind and thunder erupted, directly shattering the Golden Protective Shield.
Then, the Sword Qi sliced the Golden-Winged Great Peng’s massive body into two.
Splash!
A mournful cry sounded, and golden blood erupted like golden rain, instantly drenching the entire mountain range.
"The power of this Five Elements Wind and Thunder Sword truly did not disappoint me."
Seeing this scene before him, a faint smile appeared on Li Yun’s face.
Compared to the Grand Profound Five Elements Sword, the Five Elements Wind and Thunder Sword was much stronger in terms of speed and destructive power.
If Li Yun had fully comprehended Five Elements Intent, this attack would have become even stronger.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Just then, the golden blood that filled the sky suddenly transformed into drops of golden liquid. Then, those golden drops flew into Li Yun’s body, instantly merging into his physical form.
After absorbing these golden drops, Li Yun’s true qi instantly soared. In the blink of an eye, he directly advanced from the peak of the 8th level of Earthly Core Realm to the verge of breaking through to the 9th level.
However, he still needed some more energy before he could successfully step into the 9th level of Earthly Core Realm.
If it were any other cultivator, they would already have broken through successfully. But because Li Yun possessed a supreme foundation, the resources required for each breakthrough were insanely high.
That was the situation he faced right now.
"If this continues, perhaps it will not be long before I can step into the Heavenly Core Realm."
A brilliant light burst from Li Yun’s eyes.
By now, his anticipation for the Six Paths Pagoda had grown stronger and stronger. He was already somewhat impatient to face whatever opponent came next.
His figure moved, and he stepped directly into the formation, entering the fourth floor of the Six Paths Pagoda.
The Human Path.
Swish!
The next moment, Li Yun appeared on a vast arena that was about a thousand feet in circumference.
The arena was empty and silent.
There were no spectators, no weapons scattered across the ground, and no other signs of life. Only one figure stood quietly in the center.
That figure looked like a middle-aged man.
He wore a jade robe, and his aura was ethereal and pure, completely untouched by worldly impurities. His eyes were exceptionally bright, shining like stars in the night sky and making it difficult for anyone to meet his gaze for too long.
More importantly, Li Yun felt an extremely familiar aura from this jade-robed powerhouse.
His expression turned solemn.
"Innate Sword Body."
He slowly uttered these four words.
That was right.
The jade-robed powerhouse before him, just like his disciple Ye Qingxue, possessed the Innate Sword Body.
Among all special physiques, the Innate Sword Body could be considered one of the most terrifying physiques for sword cultivators. The Dao of the Sword was originally a path focused on killing, sharpness, and dominance. A cultivator born with the Innate Sword Body possessed a natural affinity with the sword that ordinary people could not compare to.
Their sword comprehension was terrifying.
Their sword control was terrifying.
Their battle instinct in sword combat was even more terrifying.
Within the same realm, an Innate Sword Body was almost impossible to defeat in a pure sword battle.
Without a doubt, this opponent was far more dangerous than the Golden-Winged Great Peng.
However, after the initial shock passed, Li Yun’s eyes began to shine with intense battle intent.
Although his disciple possessed the Innate Sword Body, Ye Qingxue was still too immature. She had yet to truly display the full terror of that physique. This was Li Yun’s first time facing an opponent who had already brought out the power of the Innate Sword Body to a profound level.
For him, this battle had special meaning.
He wanted to know whether his sword paths could stand against the strongest physique in the Sword Dao.
He wanted to know whether his Slaughter Sword Intent and Immortal Sword Intent could defeat a person born for the sword.
Because of that, Li Yun did not plan to use any other martial arts.
He would not use Grand Profound Five Elements Sword.
He would not use Slow Sword.
He would not use soul attacks.
He would not use movement techniques or other trump cards.
In this battle, he would only use the two sword paths he had walked the deepest so far.
Thirty percent mastery at the Xiantian Stage, Slaughter Sword Intent.
Twenty percent mastery at the Xiantian Stage, Immortal Sword Intent.
And the sword arts born from those two Sword Intents.
