Infinite Professions

"Boom!"

Both sides were relentless, the swords and sabers grew ever fiercer, waves sweeping, shaking the heavens and earth.

The Xuanxiao Five Peaks, within reach, suffered heavily, swaying under the destruction of countless Sword Qi, ultimately shattered and broken, leaving all five peaks flattened.

Meanwhile, Wind Cloud Peak at the center of the battlefield was in worse condition, the top削ed repeatedly, foundations collapsing, the towering peak disappeared by seventy percent in a flash, the rest covered with cracks, teetering on collapse.

Tier Five Spirit Mountain, such devastation speaks to the intensity of the battle.

Aboard the Golden Ship of Calamity, cultivators watched intensely, Gux Shenxiu remained silent, only his fists tightened, nails dug into flesh, even piercing the palm, yet he was oblivious, only fueled by raging hate.

Such loss of composure was not solely because of Xuanxiao Mountain, but seeing the scene reminded him of the past destruction of Xuanshao Sect.

Back then, he was just as powerless, merely watching helplessly as mentors died horribly, comrades suffered, much like now, only watching these two wreak havoc, ruin his sect, destroy his home.

Loss of composure, not because of the mountain.

Anger, not because of the mountain!

But because of himself, his own helplessness, his deep-seated vendetta!

"Boom!!!"

The peak削ed a thousand feet, earth sunk a thousand feet, cracks covered Wind Cloud Peak, Calamity Blade Dragon and Heaven-Encompassing Sword Net obliterating each other, finally shattering, sword and saber vanished, water net gone.

But this was not the end, it ignited extreme forces.

The Swordsman soared upward, into the sky, Three Calamities Karmic Fire surged a hundred feet, Demon Saber pointed at the great sun.

"Sunfall!"

The five forms of the Demon Saber, Sunfall into annihilation, a hundred-foot giant blade fell from the sky, resembling a Dharma Aspect but not.

"Sword Five - Exterminate!"

Creation Sword, equally extreme, a sword rising gloriously a hundred feet, from life into death striking against Sunfall Demon Saber.

Sword creating wound directed at destruction, Daoist Sword Eight Techniques only possessed two defensive moves, the rest purely offensive killing techniques.

"Boom!"

Sword and saber clashed again, five forms dueling, from above to below, below to above, bursting into bright streams amidst the void, heavens shaken, clouds rolling away, even a thousand miles apart, hearts trembled, subtly impacted.

Within the battlefield, Swordsman and Swordsman seemed entirely engrossed, ignoring everything, after absolute techniques quickly unleashed Killing Techniques, both unrelenting, showing unmatched foundation and unparalleled power.

"Broken Moon!"

"Sword Six - Slaughter!"

Killing Techniques launched, absolute strikes collided head-on, sword and saber shaking the void, cultivators in disarray clouds, everyone stared intensely, only seeing rolling waves, the boundary of heaven and earth already distorted, as if ready to shatter at any moment.

Power beyond boundaries!

Though Taiyuan was lowered, Primordial Spirit cultivators could breach bounds, transcend and ascend, it didn’t mean casually moving force or power could break through, must exert Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect skills, exert utmost effort to ascend.

Now two ultimate techniques faced off, causing heavenly boundary distortion, indicating their force and power had escalated in the duel, about to break through this realm’s space.

Though mundane, Immortal Demon absent, yet being supreme, not considered excessive.

Below heaven above earth, clouds sea mountain wild, cultivators watched closely, eyes glued, shocked by the unmatched sword and saber form, unparalleled Immortal Demon’s battle, jaw-dropping, speechless.

Amidst everyone’s gaze, sword and blade duel reached its pinnacle.

"Star-slaying!"

Swordsman raised Demon Saber, Karmic Fire pierced the sky, Saber Intent surged, instantly reaching a thousand feet.

Then, man and blade unified, descending to slay stars.

It was the seventh form of the Demon Saber.

"Sword Seven - Trap!"

Facing such an absolute strike, the Swordsman rarely defended, Daoist Sword infused earth, invoking Xuanxiao Earth Vein and Ten Directions Primordial Spirits, forming Earth Sinking Array instantly, sword qi traversing within, aimed to wear down the opponent’s strong move.

It was one of the two defensive moves of Daoist Sword Eight Techniques — Seven Swords Formation!

"Boom!!!"

Star-slaying Saber crashed down, thousand-foot glory cleaved into Wind Cloud Peak, falling within the Earth Sinking Sword Array, fiercely shredded by infinite sword qi, worn down bit by bit.

But the blade of destruction, Star-slaying momentum, relentless onward, simultaneously shattering infinite sword qi, two extreme moves fiercely collided, looking onward only saw saber light sword rays, fragmented star fire.

"Boom!!!"

Eventually an explosive sound, Star-slaying Saber and Earth Sinking Sword shattered together.

Xuanxiao Mountain Body, Wind Cloud Peak further ravaged by war fire, sword and saber destroyed a thousand feet.

Finally, with dust and smoke everywhere, left only destruction.

Wind Cloud Peak, no longer wind cloud.

Only cracks covered, scary to behold.

On the teetering peak, two figures stood solemnly opposed, as at the beginning, deep and firm.

No victor, no defeat!

No injury, no death!

Absolute techniques concluded, Killing Techniques exhausted.

Could this Wind Cloud battle only end with results?

"Earth, wind, fire, water, sun, moon, stars, Darklight Saber Technique Eighth Form, can you handle it?"

Swordsman pointed blade, making a death-defying challenge.

"Life and death illusion, slaughter and extinction, the Daoist Sword Eight Techniques have not yet been achieved!"

The swordsman’s expression was indifferent, yet he refused to back down: "Use the saber to prove the sword, win or lose without regret, life or death without complaint!"

"Bold spirit!"

The swordsman laughed out loud: "Then as you wish!"

With that, the Demon Yuan surged again, and the ultimate technique began anew.

It was precisely...

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

"Sunfall, Broken Moon, Star-slaying, Overturning Stars!"

"Demon Saber Darklight, Darklight Demon Saber!"

"Ha!!!"

The swordsman urgently urged the Demon Yuan, the dark light soared into the sky, transforming into a Demon Blade, crashing into the clouds, magnificent and grand, connecting heaven and earth.

It was precisely...

"It’s that move!"

Outside Xuanxiao Mountain, the cultivators’ expressions changed, hastily retreating, their eyes filled with fear.

The dark light was ten thousand feet, connecting heaven and earth; it was precisely the extreme killing technique of three years ago that broke the Primordial Spirit Dharma Aspect, the Great Dark Celestial.

The power of this saber, even after three years, remained vivid in everyone’s memory.

"Master!"

On the Golden Ship of Calamity, Zhong Yuxiu’s eyes focused, her body tensed up.

Although she always appeared as "My master is invincible," she did not ignore reality. As a witness to the battle at Hidden Sword Mountain three years ago, she was well aware of the terror of this Demon Saber and couldn’t help but feel worried at this moment.

But no matter how worried the onlookers were, it had no effect.

On Xuanxiao Mountain, at Wind Cloud Peak.

Facing the magnificent ten thousand foot Demon Saber, the swordsman took a deep breath, then urged his True Yuan, driving a sword into the earth, reaching the Xuanxiao Earth Vein, the Ten Directions Primordial Spirits.

Life and death illusion, slaughter and extinction.

As mentioned earlier, the Daoist Sword Eight Techniques had only seven moves.

So at this moment, he could only resort to old tactics, re-enacting the Seven Swords Formation.

Facing the Demon Saber’s killing strike, wasn’t repeating old tactics a sign of being at wit’s end?

Indeed at wit’s end, but there was no other way but to fight to the death.

"Boom!!!"

Suddenly the ground shook and the mountains trembled, the swordsman stirred the Primordial Spirits, forming an Earth Sinking Array, thousands of Sword Qi crisscrossing.

"Slash!!!"

The opponent saw this and held nothing back; earth, wind, fire, water, sun, moon, stars, the Eight Demonic Saber Techniques fused as one, descending magnificently.

Immediately...

"Boom!!!"

With a loud bang, the mountain crumbled and the ground shattered; the wavering Xuanxiao Wind Cloud Peak was directly crushed to pieces by this magnificent Demon Saber, the Earth Sinking Array’s endless Sword Qi offered slight resistance before it collapsed, even the ground below the mountain was not spared, split open for tens of miles by the Demon Saber.

The power of a single saber, terrifying indeed!

"Master!!"

"Elder!?"

Xuanxiao Mountain was shattered, Wind Cloud Peak was obliterated.

Everyone’s eyes shrank, speechless, aghast.

The Eight Demonic Saber Techniques, destroyed the Daoist Sword!

Could it be that in this battle, the demonic flourished while the Dao waned, the saber triumphed and the sword perished?

Amidst everyone’s horror and bewilderment...

"I... have realized!"

In the midst of the battlefield, beneath the earth, under the edge of the Demon Saber, a light voice suddenly rose.

The words were gentle, yet like thunder, resounding through heaven and earth in an instant.

Then, the weather suddenly changed, the Ten Directions Primordial Spirits surged, Sword Qi rose from the ground.

"Sword Eight—Absolute!!!"

A forest of swords arose, instantly forming an ultimate technique, a brilliant sword emerged, opposing the edge of the Demon Saber with one thunderous strike.

"Boom!!!"

With a final loud explosion, the Demon Saber and Daoist Sword both shattered, the resplendent light turned to fragments, amid the swirling waves, two figures spun and fell, each standing in the void, their robes stained with blood, their swords and sabers tainted red.

"..."

"..."

"..."

For a moment, all directions were silent, beyond words.
