Chapter 545 - 245: Four Swords Trial, A Shocking Audience, and a Terrifying Entity
As Ye Xiaofan pondered.
The next moment.
BOOM——!!!
At the peak of Cangqiong, the colossal illusion of the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’ trembled for a moment before suddenly descending from the sky, thrusting into the void, landing before the figure with tightly closed eyes.
At this moment, standing before the immense Divine Sword’s illusion, Ye Xiaofan seemed as insignificant as a speck of dust. The entire Divine Sword stood firm between heaven and earth, brilliantly radiant, as if he were a tiny ant clinging to it, creating a stunning visual contrast.
Of course, in reality, Ye Xiaofan was still far, far away from the illusion of the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’. Yet, in an instant, he established an extremely subtle connection, immediately feeling enveloped by endless Sword Dao Profound Meaning, astonishing him profoundly.
Without hesitation, Ye Xiaofan fully immersed himself in the Void Spirit Realm, trying to comprehend those awe-inspiring Sword Intents. Unlike the Sword Techniques he had previously understood, the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’ carried an unprecedented sense of wonder, a boldness that dared to slice through the heavens, seemingly affecting Ye Xiaofan’s sword heart.
As the illusion of the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’ descended, countless onlookers stared at the sword shadow almost piercing through the heavens and earth, their mouths dry and parched.
"The One-Sword Test, it truly is the One-Sword Test! My God, Ye Xiaofan triggered the One-Sword Test of the Godslaying Sword."
In other words, the talent of that figure in Sword Dao was at least comparable to that of the Sword Saint from back then, no, perhaps even more terrifying. After all, he triggered the Divine Sword’s first sword test within just three hours.
For a moment, everyone on the Heaven-Reaching Road, or more specifically, within the Godslaying Sword domain, was left dumbstruck, especially Xuanyuan Lang, who seemed to hear his own heart pounding intensely, barely able to breathe.
Yet a scene more shockingly unexpected appeared.
As time passed, the figure stood quietly before the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’; his insights into Sword Dao grew increasingly terrifying, and his understanding progressed rapidly.
Until four more hours had passed.
Suddenly.
BOOM——!!!
The same scene reappeared; a second colossal sword illusion descended from the sky, appearing to the left of the figure.
At this moment, within the extraordinary prodigies of the Hundred Sects, an uproar erupted as everyone stared blankly at the scene, their hearts shattered by the overwhelming impact.
"The Two-Sword Test? My God, he passed the Godslaying Sword’s One-Sword Test and is now undergoing the Two-Sword Test."
The moment the Godslaying Sword descended with the Two-Sword Test, the extraordinary prodigies on the Heaven-Reaching Road of the Hundred Sects erupted with shock and awe.
Yet six hours later.
BOOM——!!!
When the Three-Sword Test descended, an overwhelming vibration swept through the entire sea of people, petrifying everyone on the spot.
Xuanyuan Lang’s eyes widened as he trembled.
"Three swords, three swords!"
At this moment, Xuanyuan Lang couldn’t care about anything else, his words trembling uncontrollably, three swords, exceeding the predictions of the ancient Celestial Secret Master from countless ages past, and surpassing the standards of the Great Emperor of the Southern Sword from back then, shattering the historical records in the Hundred Broken Mountain Range region.
But this was not the end.
Time continued to flow, and everyone was plunged into endless shock.
Yet again, as time flew by, another six hours passed.
Suddenly.
BOOM——!!!
The fourth sword’s illusion descended.
The four colossal sword illusions descended into the boundless Sword World, surrounding the figure, standing in the east, south, west, and north directions, reaching the sky, penetrating the heavens.
Amidst the four awe-inspiring Divine Swords, Ye Xiaofan stood, his hair flying, exuding an aura that swallowed the skies.
In that moment, everyone, including Ye Xiaofan, was struck with an unprecedented spiritual impact, realizing the Godslaying Sword was perhaps beyond a mere Divine Artifact, its origins conceivably terrifying beyond imagination.
As for those four swords, everyone naturally recognized them as the ’Four Celestial Swords’ within the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword Array’: the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’, the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’, the ’Heaven-Slaying Sword’, and the ’Heaven-Ending Sword’!
Though the four ’Four Celestial Swords’ were not the actual forms, merely sword shadows, they carried an aura of true destruction, as if they could truly annihilate the heavens and earth, leaving everyone deeply shocked and frightened.
When the four swords appeared, Ye Xiaofan remained undeterred, continuing to comprehend the ’Four-Sword Test’. Even though he had already inherited the ’Godslaying Sword Technique’, he did not want to miss such an opportunity.
Yet witnessing that figure continuing the ’Four-Sword Test’, everyone lost their composure.
Passing the ’Four-Sword Test’ would indisputably mean that figure would fully gain the Godslaying Sword’s recognition, becoming its new master entirely.
Luo Qingxian watched in awe, her mesmerizing eyes filled with endless astonishment and disbelief. She originally had an ancient magical artifact, so stunning it could forcefully take the Godslaying Sword if Ye Xiaofan passed the ’One-Sword Test’. Despite the recognition not being intense, it would still be an opportunity to take it.
Yet now, that figure had passed the ’Three-Sword Test’ and was undergoing the ’Four-Sword Test’. If all four sword tests were passed, the Godslaying Sword would voluntarily choose a master, making that figure its master entirely.
Becoming a master through recognition and forcefully gaining a quarter’s recognition were worlds apart.
Such an awe-inspiring Divine Artifact, once it selects a master, it will never change, remaining indomitably bonded: sword for life, life for sword, unless the master falls suddenly from an irresistible force, the remaining Divine Sword might leave itself behind, or if the master wishes to pass certain legacies, otherwise sword and master always share the same fate, for better or for worse.
At this moment, the most shocked was Xuanyuan Lang, the current prince was utterly dumbfounded, shocked to the point that every pore in his body seemed to tremble.
Time continued to flow slowly.
A day later, at a certain moment.
Suddenly.
BOOM——!!!
A world-shaking divine sword aura swept through the entire Godslaying Sword domain, the ’Four Celestial Swords’ suddenly shivered, erupting with endless world-ending light, shooting straight into the sky, disappearing into the heavens.
Moreover, almost the entire sword domain began to tremble at this moment, countless sword steles emitting jubilant sword cries, innumerable ancient swords within this world vibrating madly, as if ready to ascend to the sky at any moment.
Simultaneously.
As the ’Four Celestial Swords’ ascended to the heavens, they transformed into four world-ending sword lights, descending from above, frantically pouring into that figure’s body.
At this moment, Ye Xiaofan was forced to look upward, letting the sword lights enter his flesh, his face showing endless agony, unable to suppress a lengthy howl towards the sky.
This scene unfolded incredibly quickly; within mere moments, all four sword lights had already entered the figure’s body, endless ancient swords trembled to the extreme, all rising from the ground, slowly levitating, as if to greet their new master.
"The Divine Sword has acknowledged its master!"
"My God, the Godslaying Sword fully recognized Ye Xiaofan, it... it’s acknowledging its master!"
Clatter——!!!
As these words echoed, the endless extraordinary prodigies of the Hundred Sects felt as if struck by five bolts from the blue, staring blankly at the grandeur of the responding myriad swords. Moreover, at the moment of the godslaying sword’s acknowledgment, even the swords in their hands seemed bestowed with life, trembling frantically, as though wanting to escape their grip.
However, amidst the resonance of the infinite ancient swords.
Suddenly.
An unforeseen event erupted.
BOOM——!!!
A world-altering power instantly swept through the whole sword domain, seeming to surge from the depths of this world, shocking everyone with unparalleled terror.
At the same time, an ancient, majestic voice echoed throughout the sword domain, wielding dominion over the heavens.
"The Godslaying Sword is mine, no one can take it, a mere ant dares to covet the Divine Sword, seeking death."
With the emergence of this voice, world-ending pressure suddenly descended, instantly subduing the myriad ancient swords, suppressing them back. The world-ending sword aura swept from the sword domain’s depths, slashing towards everyone, especially Ye Xiaofan.
In an instant.
Everyone’s complexion changed dramatically, Ye Xiaofan abruptly opened his eyes, filled with utmost terror.
"Oh no, there’s a terrifying deity lurking within the Godslaying Sword, Junior Brother Ye, terminate the connection quickly."
Divine Sword Sect’s prodigies from the Self-Slaying Realm exclaimed urgently, their expressions filled with utmost urgency.
