Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 2246: Chapter 2243: Annihilation Eighteen Swords

”What a swift sword strike.”

”What an agile and graceful sword strike.”

On the chief platform, Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong simultaneously praised.

Only Lu Long and Xia Yifeng showed expressions of shock.

”Impressive, no, truly remarkable.” Lu Long put away his original contempt and gazed intently at Xiao Yi on the martial arts arena.

”This youngster’s level in the Sword Dao truly has the potential to overshadow all sword cultivators under the heavens.”

”This Sword Dao prodigy seems indeed not to be an empty reputation.”

Xia Yifeng nodded, ”Up until now, he’s struck a total of sixty times, each strike exquisite, executed with perfection.”

”This has nothing to do with strength; this kid is a born sword cultivator.”

”No wonder he could shock the Central Region with just his mastery of the Sword Dao back then.”

Lu Long suddenly sneered, ”Unfortunately, he still can’t defeat Lingg Shuang.”

”Ah?” Xia Yifeng was first taken aback, then realized, ”You mean, now Lu Lingshuang hasn’t used any other means, hasn’t shown her full strength yet.”

”But Xiao Yi is the same, hasn’t used any means, hasn’t shown his full strength.”

”If both do, the outcome won’t change.”

Lu Long shook his head confidently, ”Keep watching, you’ll change your mind.”

”Lingg Shuang is the most outstanding junior in the history of the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion, a hundred times more brilliant than you all imagine.”

On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena,

the tip of the Purple Lightning sword was at Lu Lingshuang’s throat.

But Lu Lingshuang’s face remained indifferent, without a hint of change in expression.

”Ah?” Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

The next moment, he understood.

Suddenly, an imposing aura erupted from Lu Lingshuang, forcibly pushing the sword tip away from her throat.

”Ice Venerate Technique?” Xiao Yi realized.

The aura and martial trajectory now erupting from Lu Lingshuang were identical to when the Ice Barbarian used the Ice Venerate Technique before.

However, Lu Lingshuang now used it more skillfully and was stronger.

At the same time, Lu Lingshuang’s slender, fair hand swiftly reached out with two fingers instantly pinching the Purple Lightning sword body.

Those seemingly delicate fingers concealed immense strength, managing to forcefully shake back the Purple Lightning sword body.

Everything happened in an instant.

The seemingly doomed Lu Lingshuang, in a fleeting moment, reversed the situation, pushing back Xiao Yi several steps.

”Again, the Pseudo Demon State.” Xiao Yi thought to himself.

At this moment, Lu Lingshuang’s combat power certainly stepped into the Seventh Layer of the Saint Sovereign Realm, the late-stage realm.

The Seventh Layer and the Sixth Layer may appear only one layer apart, but it’s a vast difference between mid-stage and late-stage.

No wonder she could repel the Purple Lightning sword’s tip with just her aura, and then quickly push back the sword body like a fast-blowing snowstorm.

Bang...

Similarly, an aura erupted from Xiao Yi.

In the Demonic State, his combat power also reached the Seventh Layer of the Saint Sovereign Realm.

Previously, when both wielded top-grade Holy Artifacts, Xiao Yi’s aura was slightly weaker than hers, after all, Lu Lingshuang’s cultivation was far higher than Xiao Yi’s.

But now, their auras were completely balanced.

This came from Xiao Yi’s Demonic State, completely overwhelming Lu Lingshuang’s Pseudo Demon State.

As one rose and the other fell, they reached equilibrium.

Lu Lingshuang’s cold eyes finally showed a trace of change.

That was a frown.

She could immediately tell that Xiao Yi’s aura matched hers, and if they fought again, the outcome wouldn’t change.

Lu Lingshuang squinted her eyes.

Her gaze turned colder, and her killing intent soared to extremes.

A boom rang out.

Behind Lu Lingshuang, an illusion condensed.

That was the Martial Soul Illusion, representing Lu Lingshuang unleashing her full strength at this moment.

However, this Martial Soul Illusion was somewhat peculiar.

When it appeared, it was a snowy landscape, filled with swirling snowstorms.

The illusion grew more solid, gradually revealing itself more clearly.

Amid the whirling snow, sword shadows could be seen.

On the thick snow-covered ground, stood numerous sharp swords.

”Hmm? What’s that?” Xiao Yi thought with surprise and doubt.

On the chief platform,

Lu Long continued to cross his arms, smugly.

Meanwhile, the three Guardians’ faces simultaneously changed drastically.

”That... that is...” Guardian Nangong’s eyes widened in shock.

”That’s your Ice Storm Sword Pavilion’s Sword Tomb, the resting place of the Sword Pavilion’s strongest through the ages.” Guardian Bing’s expression grew serious.

Xia Yifeng also showed shock, ”Lu Lingshuang, our Endless Snow Mountain’s foremost Heavenly Talent.”

”Since she rose to fame, undefeated, no one could draw out her full strength, even fewer knew what her Martial Soul was.”

”It’s the Sword Tomb Martial Soul.”

”Hmph.” Lu Long let out a cold snort, filled with pride in his eyes.

On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena,

Lu Lingshuang’s aura was visibly skyrocketing.

Within the Sword Tomb, amid the wind and snow, there were a total of eighteen sharp swords.

One of them, positioned centrally, was the Ice Storm Giant Sword.

The remaining seventeen, although not reaching the level of top-grade Holy Artifacts, were rare and powerful High Grade Peak Holy Artifacts.

At this moment, each sword illusion continuously solidified, shining brightly, one after another.

With each sword’s light emerging, Lu Lingshuang’s aura surged a few degrees.

When all eighteen swords shone bright, Lu Lingshuang’s aura instantly reached its zenith.

The combat power, originally at the Saint Sovereign Realm’s Seventh Layer, broke through the Seventh Layer Peak’s bottleneck, directly stepping into the Eighth Layer, approaching infinitely close to the Peak of the Eighth Layer.

”Amazing.” Xiao Yi couldn’t help but utter in awe.

At this moment, Lu Lingshuang’s combat power was barely different from when he fought fiercely at the Holy Moon Sect.

Lu Lingshuang, the foremost Heavenly Talent of the Endless Snow Mountain, the most outstanding young generation in the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion’s history, truly lived up to the name.

To awaken the Sword Tomb Martial Soul, the difficulty is immensely high.

Let alone the Sword Tomb of the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion’s strong through the ages.

In terms of level alone, even the Ice Storm Giant Sword Martial Soul pales compared to the Ice Barbarian’s Extreme Cold Emperor Crab.

But with the entire Sword Tomb’s blessing, the Martial Soul took a qualitative leap.

At this moment, Lu Lingshuang did not retrieve the Ice Storm Giant Sword from her hand but firmly held it.

And the illusion of the Ice Storm Giant Sword within the Sword Tomb Martial Soul shone brilliantly.

The surrounding seventeen and eighteen sharp swords complemented brilliantly.

Lu Lingshuang’s figure moved in an instant.

This sword strike was the pinnacle of speed and ferocity, carrying unparalleled force and momentum.

As the sword slashed down, Xiao Yi held his sword to block, only to be blasted back a hundred steps, coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Lu Lingshuang followed her sword, arriving instantly in front of Xiao Yi.

”Die.”

The cold words were icily spat from Lu Lingshuang’s mouth.

Bang...

In the air, eighteen explosive sounds burst forth, eighteen spaces collapsed.

Eighteen swords suddenly leaped from the spaces, surrounding and locking onto Xiao Yi’s opportunity.

”Huh?” For the first time, Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

He could distinctly feel a deadly threat from the surrounding aura.

At this moment, on the chief platform, the four Guardians’ expressions simultaneously changed drastically.

”How’s this possible, what a terrifying mastery of Space Dao.” Guardian Nangong exclaimed.

”The Sword Souls within the Sword Tomb Martial Soul can be summoned through collapsed spaces?”

Guardian Bing exclaimed in trembling voice, ”This girl’s space techniques have reached such a level? Truly remarkable, even if Man’er were to chase her for another ten years, he might not catch up.”

Xia Yifeng nodded in amazement, ”Space techniques at the Saint Sovereign Realm, she mastered them at this cultivation level, truly impressive.”

”A terrifying talent and Martial Arts Talent, she might as well be the first of her time.”

Lu Long’s expression however drastically changed, ”Lingg Shuang, what are you doing? That sword isn’t one you can wield, stop immediately.”

”Huh?” The three Guardians frowned simultaneously.

On the Ice Crystal Martial Arts Arena.

The eighteen swords all struck in unison.

The eighteen swords not only sealed the space but also tightly locked onto Xiao Yi’s opportunity.

As the eighteen swords struck down, they fused together, unleashing the might of a single sword.

As the sword fell, the aura of annihilation was fully displayed.

In that instant, within the seal of eighteen swords, everything was annihilated.

Including space, including the martial arts arena, including everything within it...
