Immortal Sword Master

Chapter 421: Chapter 417: Domain Power

”What’s going on?”

Everyone present stared at Ning Jiang, their eyes wide with shock.

As the four powerful attacks came within three feet of Ning Jiang, they abruptly and bizarrely halted, as if space itself had frozen solid. It was unbelievable.

”Huh?”

Everyone’s pupils contracted sharply.

The four attacks began to twist and distort before shattering into nothingness.

’Could this be... a Domain?!’

Jian Jiuge exclaimed in horror, looking at Ning Jiang in disbelief.

”A Domain? How is that possible? That’s a power only those in the Earth Martial Realm can master, but his Cultivation is only at the Immortal Realm,” Zhi Tianhou said, refusing to believe it.

”But if it’s not a Domain, then what is it?” Xia Tianyu’s voice boomed as he spoke slowly.

His words sent a wave of silence through the crowd.

Jian Jiuge’s eyes slowly narrowed. ”Generally speaking, it’s true that only those in the Earth Martial Realm can grasp a Domain. However, it’s possible he’s practicing some sort of Supreme Technique that allows him to possess a Domain even at the Immortal Realm!”

”A Cultivation Technique? Indeed! I’ve heard the Kings in my Sect say that there might be some Unparalleled Skills in this world capable of such a feat.” A glint appeared in Duan Wudao’s eyes. ’If I could get my hands on that Cultivation Technique...’

Instantly, greed filled everyone’s eyes.

Possessing a Domain at the Immortal Realm was simply too astonishing, far beyond their comprehension.

Even the King’s Techniques within their own Sects couldn’t achieve this. Didn’t that mean the Cultivation Technique Ning Jiang practiced was even more powerful than a King’s Technique?

Without a doubt, Ning Jiang held a great secret, a secret everyone wanted for themselves!

”Brat, I never expected you to possess a Domain at the Immortal Realm, but so what? We’ve broken the Domains of Earth Martial Realm experts before. If you think you can take on the seven of us alone, you’re just courting death!” Jian Jiuge said coldly.

Zhi Tianhou added, ”I’ll give you one chance. Hand over your Cultivation Technique, and we might let you live today.”

”You want my Cultivation Technique? I’m afraid you’re not fated to take it.”

Ning Jiang stood proudly in the sky as he spoke.

This was the power of the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill. As a Supreme Celestial Skill, it allowed him to possess Domain Power even at the Immortal Realm.

This was the source of his confidence to face seven opponents at once.

If he couldn’t even handle these seven people after mastering such a Supreme Celestial Skill, wouldn’t he be disgracing the Heaven-Devouring Demon Skill?

”In that case, let’s fight!”

”Don’t kill him! Capture him alive! The secrets he holds are likely more valuable than a Celestial Pill!”

The seven great prodigies exchanged a look. At that moment, they were of one mind, truly joining forces.

”Ning Jiang, forcing the seven of us to team up... no one in the Six Eastern Provinces has ever received such an honor. You should be proud!” The Sword Qi emanating from Jian Jiuge grew ever sharper, surging toward the heavens in waves.

The seven prodigies each took a position, their auras undulating like the sea and shaking the surrounding area.

”Kill.”

As before, Jian Jiuge was the first to strike.

With a flicker of his body, he split into nine phantoms in mid-air, attacking Ning Jiang from all directions.

Each phantom executed a different sword strike. He unleashed nine consecutive sword forms, each one no weaker than his previous Extreme Tide sword. Their profundity was enough to leave countless Sword Cultivators in the Six Eastern Provinces dumbfounded.

Finally, the nine Sword Techniques merged into one.

A Sword Aura like white jade slashed out from afar, causing the very air to tremble.

Nine Swords Guiyuan Slash.

This was one of the Celestial Sword Sect’s ultimate killing moves. Nine swords unleashed in an instant, then merged into one—the combined power was terrifyingly potent, enough to kill an Earth Martial Realm expert.

”Flames, come.”

Zhi Tianhou let out a long cry. Flames erupted from his body, with raging fire spouting from every pore. His bright red hair seemed to ignite.

A hundred-zhang-long Flame Long Spear materialized in mid-air.

This Flame Long Spear was formed entirely from highly compressed flames. Its color was incredibly deep, and its terrifying temperature forced many of the prodigies watching from a distance to retreat again and again, unable to bear it.

”SHIIIIING!”

The long spear tore through the sky, shooting toward Ning Jiang.

Meanwhile, veins bulged all over Xia Tianyu of the Primordial Sect. His face flushed red, and his pupils seemed to shift like dragons. The Blood Qi in his body condensed to its peak, gathering in his fist before he threw a savage punch.

”CRACK!”

A brilliant silver bolt of lightning appeared before everyone’s eyes.

The fist’s aura shot forward, unexpectedly transforming into a baring-fanged Flood Dragon. Its roar shook the heavens, a horrifying sight.

”Angry Dragon Fist!”

The crowd recognized it. This was one of the top three Fist Techniques in the Primordial Sect. It was said that when cultivated to the highest Realm, every punch and every move held the might of an angry dragon.

However, this Fist Technique required an extremely powerful physical body to execute. An ordinary person attempting to use it would only end up injuring their own bones.

Among the younger generation of the Primordial Sect, only Xia Tianyu could unleash this tyrannical Fist Technique unscathed.

How could the might of these three attacking with their full strength be just a little stronger than before? The Spiritual Qi in the sky began to boil. Even from hundreds of zhang away, the watching crowd felt as if they were suffocating.

And this was far from over.

The remaining four experts attacked at the same time, just like the first three.

Yan Qingxue, like an Ice Fairy, manipulated the sky-filling Ice and Snow Power. The frigid aura felt as if it could freeze a person’s blood and soul.

Black and white light surged around Duan Wudao’s body. This light eventually compressed and condensed into a single Black and White Rune, which flickered erratically as it flew to lock onto Ning Jiang’s Divine Sense.

Xu Yuanfeng and Jing Fanzheng also attacked with all their might.

Xu Yuanfeng struck out with his palm. Hailing from the Void Sect, he cultivated the Void Scripture, and his Spiritual Qi reserves were many times greater than others. When his palm descended, the sky darkened as a giant hand fell, blotting out the sun.

As for Jing Fanzheng, he wielded the Power of True Words.

”Meeeeh!”

A low sound, like the bleating of a sheep, came from his mouth. The moment this sound appeared, the prodigies who heard it from a distance felt themselves trapped in layers of illusions, unable to break free.

The Power of True Words had many varied forms of attack. An Illusion Attack like this was considered a High Level one.

The terrifying combined strike of the seven was simply world-shaking.

”Even if that boy doesn’t die, he’ll be severely injured.”

Many people said, their voices filled with shock.

But Ning Jiang’s expression remained unchanged.

His eyes were lowered, his expression calm. Only when the seven attacks were about ten zhang from him did Ning Jiang’s eyes snap open, lightning flashing within them.

”Break!”

Ning Jiang roared, channeling his Domain Power to its fullest. It expanded outward like an invisible eggshell.

”BOOM.”

With a massive roar, the seven attacks landed on his Domain.

In that instant, it was as if countless cannonballs had detonated at once between heaven and earth. The tremendous sound deafened everyone.

Then, under the shocked gazes of countless people, Ning Jiang wielded this Domain Power and swept his sword out horizontally.

”SHLICK.”

The seven figures were all blasted backward at the same time!
