Infinite Professions

The crowd was both astonished and worried, yet helpless.

In Dongting, above the Fish Dragon.

Purple Thunder Prison, endless and boundless.

Shen Hex wielded sword and saber, savoring the challenge.

"The saber moves towards creation through destruction, the sword towards destruction through creation!"

"Eight Demonic Saber Techniques, earth, wind, fire, water, sun, moon, stars!"

"Daoist Sword Eight Techniques, life and death illusion, slaughter and extinction!"

"Earth-Breaking, Wind Splitter, Karmic Fire, Calamity Water, Sunfall, Broken Moon, Star-slaying!"

"One Life, Two Deaths, Three Illusions, Four Extinctions, Five Slaughters, Six Exterminations, Seven Traps!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The heavens roared, the Thunder Prison surged, all due to the sweeping of saber and sword.

The Celestial Tribulation questioned the Dao, perfecting the technique, within this endless cycle of life and death in the Thunder Prison, Shen Hex freely practiced the art of sword and saber, a technique unique to him.

At this point, the art was reborn, though they seemed similar to the original Three Calamities Karmic Fire Saber Technique and Sacrificial Demon-slaying Sword Technique, yet they were entirely different.

The original sword and saber moves were transformed and recreated by Shen Hex, developing new Eight Demonic Saber Techniques and Daoist Sword Eight Techniques, each corresponding to realms one through eight, filling the unnamed foundation of the first four realms. Although it seemed like complicating simplicity, it actually deepened the foundation.

Additionally, there was the principle of sword and saber intersecting, life and death confirming each other.

The saber moves towards creation through destruction, the sword towards destruction through creation; the saber technique is the sword technique and vice versa, validating and complementing each other.

Thus, the Demon Saber Dao Sword, eight forms emerged!

Though said to be eight forms, there were only seven, for Shen Hex had only cultivated to the Seventh Realm. Whether it was the saber technique’s Eighth Form or the sword technique’s Eighth Form, they were still only theoretical and had not yet materialized.

Yet, for this heavenly tribulation, the seven forms of sword and saber were already sufficient.

"Earth-Breaking, Wind Splitter, Karmic Fire, Calamity Water!"

Shen Hex held the saber in one hand, first performing four moves, earth, wind, fire, water, chopping, sweeping, piercing, spinning!

Earth-Breaking chopping saber, Wind Splitter sweeping saber, Karmic Fire piercing saber, Calamity Water spinning saber, all were basic saber moves fused with the Power of Heaven and Earth, thus achieving the Demon Saber Ultimate Form.

Following the four basic moves, there were four advanced forms.

Earth-Breaking Sunfall, Wind Splitter Broken Moon, Karmic Fire Star-slaying, Calamity Water Overturning Stars!

Except for the Final Technique yet to be completed, the remaining seven forms were as fluid as flowing clouds and water.

The demon saber swept widely, the Dao sword also rose, life and death illusion, slaughter and extinction, the seven sword forms seamlessly flowed, though they stopped short of the breakthrough to Sword Eight, they were already astonishing, beyond the ordinary.

In the end...

"Ha!!!"

Shen Hex shouted in a low voice, drawing back the sword and saber into the Dantian, where the Daoist Nascent Soul within the Qi Sea took control, merging the power of the co-cultivator to unleash a beam of sword qi and blade aura, piercing through the Thunder Prison, shooting straight into the firmament.

"What is that!?"

Outside Dongting, the eyes of the cultivators shrank, involuntarily exclaiming.

They saw within the refining prison of thunder, a beam of light soaring into the sky, stretching thousands of zhang in an instant, piercing through the astral warfare, breaking through the firmament.

"This is..."

"Sword light?"

"The sword light of the Cyan Nether Sword Master?"

"Such a mighty force?"

"The Primordial Spirit is complete?"

Witnessing the towering beam of qi, it’s said not only ordinary cultivators, even several Nascent Soul Old Monsters were horrified.

After antiquity, the Primordial Spirit went silent, causing Taiyuan’s stature to decline, the boundary of heaven and earth became fragile, allowing Divinity Transformation to have the ability to break the world, power to ascend.

And now this beam of light, resplendent and thousands of zhang high, also intended to break the bounds of heaven and earth.

What does this imply?

It suggests his Primordial Spirit is complete, about to overcome the tribulation and emerge!

Can his Primordial Spirit truly break through this Undying Celestial Tribulation?

"Boom!!!"

The crowd remained in shock and doubt when they saw the beam of light, like a celestial pillar, descended majestically, splitting open the firmament, severing the tribulation clouds, and shattering the Thunder Prison.

Destruction creates, creation destroys; the demon saber and Dao sword forcefully broke the celestial tribulation, ultimately causing the undying to perish, the endless to end, shattering the Purple Thunder Prison, vanishing without a trace, leaving no life.

In the end, only a sword scar remained, severing thousands of li of tribulation clouds, seemingly splitting heaven and earth.

"Hiss!!!!!!"

Though outside Dongting, unaffected by the scene, upon witnessing such a spectacle, the cultivators could not help but gasp, several Nascent Soul Old Monsters were especially stunned.

"That is..."

"The Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect?"

"A resplendent, towering Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect?"

"Just forming the Primordial Spirit, and already such a foundation?"

"Can the Undying Celestial Tribulation also be broken with a single sword?"

"This Cyan Nether Sword Master, what kind of divine being is he?"

"Such a person, how could he have been previously unknown?"

"Inland lands, how could they nurture such a True Dragon?"

Watching the sword scar that severed the clouds over thousands of li, the cultivators lost control of their words, filled with shock and doubt.

Yet no matter how outsiders reacted, it did not affect the grand scheme, as changes in the wind and clouds caused the great dark sky to recede.

The rain passed and the sky cleared, clouds dispersed and the wind calmed.

On Fish Dragon Island, one person descended, standing with hands behind his back.

Soon, a black and a white spirit light flew out, landing beside the person.

The black light on the left took the form of a man in black, his presence like a deep abyss, exuding dominance.

The white light on the right took the form of a man in white, his body like pine and cypress, his sword intent soaring to the skies.

"Martial Madman!"

"Li Qingming!"

"Greetings, fellow Daoist!"

The two appeared, bowing in unison, saluting Shen Hex.

"Ha!"

Shen Hex smiled, saying little, just moved his mind.

Instantly the two figures turned back into black and white light, merging back into his body.

Within the Qi Sea Dantian, the Daoist Nascent Soul sat steadily, the spirit light in both hands flashed, transforming into the Demon Saber Dao Sword, though only Tier Six weapons, within them were the merits of the Seventh Realm, sixty-three Earthly Fiend Technique Prohibitions connected in bloodline, the sword and saber as one with him.

They were indeed the Outer Dao Nascent Soul!

In this crossing of tribulation, not only did Shen Hex successfully create the art, performing eight forms each of the Demon Saber and Dao Sword, but he also smoothly promoted the Tier Six Demon Saber and Dao Sword to form Outer Dao Nascent Souls, creating two outer body incarnations.

The Outer Dao Nascent Soul, the outer body incarnation, is the precursor cultivation technique of the Second Primordial Spirit, requiring the cultivator to split the Nascent Soul, combine it with a piece of Heaven and Earth Treasure, painstakingly refine the technique prohibition to accomplish it,
