Chapter 1474: Chapter 529: The Heavenly Emperor’s Sword Shatters the Saint’s Dignity! (Part 2)
Following closely behind was the Slaughter Path.
The shadow of a blood-colored dragon coiled around Li Ping’an!
The golden light was once again forced back dozens of feet!
Around Li Ping’an, as if a clear sky appeared, though still suppressed by the golden light, it also kept the golden light from approaching his body even half a step.
Zhunti smiled and said, “Your Majesty’s cultivation is impressive.”
Li Ping’an was moved by these words, and as he seemed to slash with his sword, Zhunti revealed a sixteen-foot golden body Dharma Form from the Treasure Wheel behind him.
In an instant, Li Ping’an’s movements stopped, his sword intent suppressed by the Dharma Form.
At this moment, like a mundane swordsman, holding a sword that cuts through iron like mud but facing a cliff of unknown thickness, unable to break through it would mean the risk of his sword breaking and himself getting harmed.
The golden light pressed in again.
A point of spiritual light suddenly appeared behind Li Ping’an.
The spiritual light instantly transformed into cloud images, faintly showing countless cities, countless immortal lights, lively sounds everywhere, men and women seen walking in lines.
Avenue of All Beings!
The golden light was blocked twenty feet away from Li Ping’an, unable to advance!
Li Ping’an suddenly stepped forward.
No aura invoked, no flaws, as if testing forward.
The golden light surged more fiercely, within the endless golden light seemed to be golden statues, inside echoed chants, golden ribbons inscribed with scriptures flew constantly, all dissolving around Li Ping’an.
Li Ping’an stepped forward again.
The golden light trembled, Zhunti frowned.
At this moment, in Zhunti’s eyes, Li Ping’an had almost transformed into a longsword, resounding with a metallic clang, illustrating the resilience, strength, and fighting spirit of all living beings.
At this moment, Zhunti had an illusion that no matter how much mana he used, he could not suppress this sharp sword.
Li Ping’an continued forward, taking seven steps!
His momentum reached its peak!
The Yuan Tu Sword’s blade flowed with water light.
Zhunti suddenly raised his right hand, seemingly about to push Li Ping’an away.
In that instant.
Li Ping’an thrust his longsword forward fiercely, seemingly unadorned, yet as if tempered a thousand times, his form like a taut bowstring, his sword momentum like an arrow released from the string!
Li Ping’an’s essence, energy, spirit, Dao, origin, all fused into this sword!
The sword light flashed forward, the Great Dao resounded!
The Avenue of Time seemed to pause, the heavens and earth pierced by this sword!
The crossed Dao principles revealed, yet pierced directly by the sword light!
Zhunti frowned, flexed his finger, and lightly flicked.
The Avenue of Time seemed to be effective around him again, the world momentarily plunged into absolute silence.
Ding!
A crisp sound, an intertwined vision, momentary invisibility of all beings.
Li Ping’an’s figure appeared tens of miles behind Zhunti, while Zhunti remained seated on the Lotus Dais.
The eerie silence lasted for several moments.
A trace of blood appeared on Zhunti’s left cheek, the Saint’s skin torn, emitting pale golden blood, just a drop, landing on the Lotus Dais, instantly creating countless visions.
Then, powerful spiritual power began to surge, the Avenue of Time resumed its function, the world shattered, the heavens and earth shook uneasily.
A massive tidal wave of spiritual energy appeared within a radius of ten thousand miles, first flowing toward Li Ping’an and Zhunti, then repelled by the vibrations occurring there.
Many True Immortals lowered their heads and spat blood, a few Yuan Immortals observing were directly injured by the Dao fluctuations.
Even Qi Cultivators with Heavenly Immortal cultivation couldn’t help the reverse flow of their aura.
A million Immortals stood in silent fear.
In the heavens and earth, radiance flickered everywhere.
The Heavenly Emperor’s sword had imprinted itself on all beings’ hearts!
Suddenly a water-blue light flashed, behind Li Ping’an emerged the Water-Fire Tai Chi Diagram.
With the Tai Chi Diagram’s rotation, the turbulence of spiritual energy in the heavens and earth gradually calmed, and the chaotic Sea of Dao Principles quieted as well.
Li Ping’an slowly turned, the Tai Chi Diagram behind still rotating, red and blue light staining half the sky.
With this sword, he touched Zhunti.
Then, the next sword…
Li Ping’an slightly squinted his eyes, Zhunti’s form gradually showing a dark gold hue from the Lotus Dais.
This Saint clearly also had the will to fight.
Just at this moment!
“Hold your hand.”
A gentle call came from the horizon, a white crane leading the way, auspicious clouds spreading, an arched jade bridge appeared in the heavens and earth, from the end of the jade bridge floated clusters of Green Lotus.
In the hearts of all beings arose profound understanding and boundless reverence.
Behind the Green Lotus, a Dharma Form of a middle-aged Daoist appeared, with black hair and beard, a dignified face, tall five or six feet, yet also appearing human-sized, beside him a boy transformed from a white crane, surrounded by layers of auspicious clouds.
It was Yuanshi Tianzun who had arrived.
Li Ping’an immediately put away the Yuan Tu Sword, suddenly lowered his head and spat a mouthful of blood, his complexion turning pale.
He was pretending.
But the ministers of the Heavenly Court and the spectators believed.
A beam of golden light fell from the sky, it was the Roc rushing over first to support Li Ping’an, causing dozens of figures falling behind to inwardly remark “So fast”.
The Immortals of the Heavenly Court glared angrily at Zhunti.
Zhunti, however, had imperceptibly restored his original friendly demeanor, softly saying, “I didn’t expect, the Heavenly Emperor’s antics alarmed the esteemed Daoist friend.”
“This is unacceptable.”
Yuanshi Tianzun’s face turned frighteningly dark.
He directly rebuked:
“You as a Saint should uphold virtue, proclaim etiquette, and educate, yet you interfere with the Heavenly Dao, tamper with the red string of fate, causing grievances among living beings!
“And now here, engaging in conflict with the Heavenly Emperor, confronting with weapons!”
Zhunti remained silent, his eyes lowered, lightly sighed.
He said, “Daoist friend, we are both Saints, why such reproach? The West is impoverished, Daoist friend knows well, from ancient times, elder brother and I have labored hard, patching and repairing, only thus resulting in the current prosperity of the Western Continent, many things are not my wish, indeed forced by circumstances.”
