Foundation Establishment Means Death Sentence? Did My Simulator Glitch?

Chapter 232: Sparring!

【You walked into Xuanyuan Tianji’s wooden hut. After entering, you saw that Xuanyuan Tianji had already awakened.】

【“Settled it?”】

【“Mm!”】

【You nodded, a conflicted expression appearing on your face.】

【For a moment, you did not know how to bring up the matter of wanting to spar with her.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji noticed the expression on your face and asked,】

【“What’s wrong?”】

【“Um... I want to spar with you and see just how big the gap between me and the Immortal Realm really is.”】

【When Xuanyuan Tianji heard that, she froze slightly, then burst out laughing.】

【She had not expected that the thing you had been agonizing over for so long was just this.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji agreed to your request.】

【The two of you went outside and flew up into the air so that you would not affect the surrounding buildings.】

【“Come on! I’ll keep my realm at the Early Immortal Realm.”】

【“Here I come!”】

【As soon as the words fell, you directly used Boiling Dragonblood and erupted with a powerful aura.】

【After sensing your aura suddenly surge, a trace of surprise flashed through Xuanyuan Tianji’s eyes.】

【“A secret art that boosts your strength for a short time? Interesting!”】

【You launched attack after attack at Xuanyuan Tianji.】

【During that time, you continuously unleashed the Great Desolate Sky-Imprisoning Finger, the Taixu Sword Art, and Heavenslaying.】

【But you discovered that every single one of your attacks was neutralized by Xuanyuan Tianji, one by one.】

【“Be careful! What comes next is my strongest form, and also one of my trump cards!”】

【“Come, then. Let me see what your strength is like now!”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji waved her hand indifferently, signaling that you did not need to hold anything back.】

【“Sword Emperor Phantom!”】

【As your words fell, that hundred-zhang-tall Chaos Phantom appeared behind you once more.】

【“This is?”】

【Xuanyuan Tianji narrowed her eyes slightly and stared fixedly at the Chaos Phantom behind you.】

【Just now, the instant the Chaos Phantom appeared, she had sensed a faint trace of Imperial Might from it. It was simply too thin, so thin that for a moment she wondered whether it had just been her imagination.】

【In the distance, Chen Shu, who had just finished dealing with Bai Yuan and the other two, was immediately drawn over by the commotion between you and Xuanyuan Tianji.】

【Chen Shu looked at the two of you with a bewildered expression. She had no idea why you had suddenly started fighting each other.】

【Left with no choice, Chen Shu could only hide in the distance and watch your battle.】

【She knew that with her strength, there was no way she could interfere in a fight between the two of you.】

【On the battlefield, the moment the Chaos Phantom appeared, you once again entered that state of enlightenment.】

【You had not expected that merely borrowing one-tenth of the Sword Emperor’s sword Dao comprehension would raise your sword intent by far more than dozens of times.】

【At this moment, your gaze seemed to have become someone else’s, filled with divinity.】

【“Be careful!”】

【After warning Xuanyuan Tianji, you gripped the Taixu Immortal Sword and repeatedly slashed out Heavenslaying.】

【Every wave of your hand sent another Heavenslaying strike at Xuanyuan Tianji, each one even more terrifying than the last.】

【At this moment, Xuanyuan Tianji finally stopped smiling, and her expression gradually turned solemn.】

【“Break!”】

【At Xuanyuan Tianji’s command, you widened your eyes in shock as every Heavenslaying strike you had unleashed was destroyed in an instant.】

【“How is this possible?”】

【You knew that under the enhancement of the Sword Emperor Phantom, even a casual strike could easily instantly kill Bai Yuan, who was in the Heavenly Venerable Realm. You had never expected such fierce attacks to be dissolved by Xuanyuan Tianji with a single word.】

【“It’s not over yet!!!”】

【Then, you used up all the Spiritual Qi remaining in your body to unleash a Divine Power—Sword Emperor Finger!】

【“Kill!”】

【As all the Spiritual Power in your body gathered toward the Chaos Phantom behind you, you saw it slowly raise one finger.】

【At the tip of that finger, you saw a world-destroying aura begin to gather.】

【In an instant, that energy transformed into a streak of sword qi and shot toward Xuanyuan Tianji!】

【“Human Emperor Seal!”】

【Seeing this, Xuanyuan Tianji hurriedly used the Divine Power Human Emperor Seal.】

【BOOM—】

【You saw the Sword Emperor Finger collide with the Human Emperor Seal and erupt with an enormous explosion.】

【You could feel the outer Hope Zone of the entire Ancient Emperor Ruins trembling violently.】

【After releasing the Sword Emperor Finger, you felt like a deflated ball, completely drained and powerless.】

【You told Xuanyuan Tianji that you were done for, that the fight was over, and that you were not fighting anymore.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji walked over to your side, and the shock in her eyes had still not faded.】

【“What was that move just now?”】

【You chuckled and told her that it was a sword Dao inheritance you had obtained.】

【You did not tell her the truth.】

【After a moment of silence, Xuanyuan Tianji told you that your strike just now could inflict a certain amount of damage on an ordinary Immortal Realm cultivator, but it was not fatal.】

【When you heard that it could only deal damage, your eyes dimmed slightly.】

【In your view, if it could not kill an Immortal Realm cultivator, then it made little difference to you.】

【Because after using that move, you would be left with almost no Spiritual Power. In that situation, if the opponent did not die, it would be very difficult for you to escape.】

【However, in this battle, there was still one trump card you had not used.】

【That was the other Divine Power of the Sword Emperor’s Successor—Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect · Sword Domain Descends!】

【The reason you had not used it was because you believed that this Divine Power was a large-scale offensive technique, whereas the Sword Emperor Finger was a single-target move with devastating damage.】

【Moreover, the two Divine Powers were fundamentally incompatible.】

【You knew that Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect required all of your Spiritual Power to be unleashed, but you had already consumed part of your Spiritual Power earlier. Under those circumstances, the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect you unleashed would not be in its strongest state.】

【By contrast, Sword Emperor Finger only required 70% of your Spiritual Power to display its peak power.】

【Beside you, Xuanyuan Tianji keenly noticed the change in your mood and smacked you on the head.】

【“What are you thinking about?”】

【“You’re still not satisfied even with this kind of strength?”】

【“You should know that all beneath the Immortal Realm are wretches. No one has ever been able to injure an Immortal Realm cultivator while still in the Tribulation Stage!”】

【You asked Xuanyuan Tianji curiously why that was.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji did not answer immediately. Instead, she asked whether you remembered how she had instantly dissolved that wave of Heavenslaying just now.】

【You nodded.】

【Xuanyuan Tianji told you that this was one of the methods of the Immortal Realm.】

【She told you that those below the Immortal Realm had incomplete control over the Power of Laws. An Immortal Realm cultivator only needed a single thought to directly dissolve your Divine Powers.】

【“What?”】

【You had not expected there to be such an enormous gap between the Tribulation Stage and the Immortal Realm.】

【“Then what about the Sword Emperor Finger?”】
