Chapter 1206: A Sword Opens the Galaxy

He harbored sinister intentions, deluding himself into thinking he could use this opportunity to clear all obstacles for the Fourth Prince. Little did he know he was far too eager for quick success, and he failed to realize that every lord and prince had powerful resources at their disposal. To accomplish such a formidable task overnight was utterly wishful thinking, an unrealistic fantasy.

Jian Yunqing's failure stemmed from his reliance on his cultivation mindset to help the Fourth Prince contend for power. He didn't realize that conquering the world relied more on strategy than brute force. Furthermore, his strength was nowhere near Xu Yang's level, which could overturn everything.

"Stop hesitating. The boss has given us the order to break through. We have no other choice but to do our part."

As one of the pivotal core members of the Eight Gates team, Arno spoke with a solemn expression, once again pulling the team members, who had been momentarily entranced by Xu Yang's majestic aura in the void, back to their respective battle positions to continue the final phase of their breakthrough.

Meanwhile, Xu Yang showed no signs of stopping his attack. Facing the vast Sword Dao lightning, Xu Yang's heart remained utterly calm. He gently closed his eyes, once more experiencing the unique insights that the Boundless Sword Dao brought him deep within. Unbeknownst to him, during this very process, the formidable power of Xu Yang's Boundless Sword Body manifested itself anew.

Guided by his aura and spiritual power, the sword energy waves that had accumulated for tens of thousands of years within the Sword Tower below began to furiously gather around Xu Yang's body, drawn by his influence.

If Xu Yang were to be likened to a monarch standing upon a vast ocean, then behind him, endless waves of sword wind surged with an unstoppable, devouring momentum. Xu Yang, meanwhile, transformed into the true master of this sword-infused sea.

With a single thought, the ceaselessly rolling waves in the air instantly merged into one, combining with his physical body to form a sharp sword capable of piercing the heavens! The colossal golden sword light was the perfect manifestation of the Boundless Sword Domain Xu Yang had now created.

"Oh my heavens, look! This is the true power of esteemed Xu Yang! To condense all the sword energy from the entire Sword Tower and confront the vast starry sky alone—to witness such a magnificent feat with my own eyes, this journey to the Sword Furnace has truly been worthwhile!"

More and more Sword Dao cultivators were dumbfounded by Xu Yang's performance at that moment. It was a realm and a scene they dared not even imagine in their wildest dreams, yet it was genuinely unfolding before their eyes. Of course, the protagonist wasn't them, but Xu Yang, the man capable of single-handedly confronting the heavens. The colossal golden sword light pierced through almost all obstacles, relentlessly destroying all energy in its path with unparalleled insight and might.

The destructive lightning unleashed by the Heavenly Sword Array could not halt the advance of this giant sword. Finally, as the Boundless Sword Light forged by Xu Yang continuously broke through to new levels, repeatedly shattering the limits of power, it pulverized the lightning into nothingness.

In the very center of the vast Starry Sky Array, seven distinct elder silhouettes materialized one by one. Each elder's soul form represented the majesty of a former Sword Sect Master.

"Hahahaha, truly, the younger generation is formidable! I never imagined that after all these years since my demise, I would encounter such an exceptional young man. Your Sword Dao realm is beyond anything I have ever witnessed in my life, surpassing even us seven old fellows. However, you are likely not yet qualified to destroy the entire Seven Absolute Mountain Sword Sect's lineage by yourself!"

Among the seven elders, the first Sword Sect Master, the long-bearded silhouette in the very center of the seven soul forms, spoke coldly, drawing Xu Yang's particular attention to his words.

"I wonder what Senior means by that? Do you perhaps have even greater power yet to manifest? I am truly curious to see just how far your Sword Sect's power can reach."

The elder in the middle burst into laughter. "In this Yingzhou Continent, with its millennia of heritage, no one who wields a sword, even collectively, could surpass us seven old fellows. And I must admit, your realm has surpassed ours, making you the most powerful sword wielder on this continent.

"Unfortunately, our Sword Sect's lineage has, after all, broken through the limits of humanity in its Sword Dao. This secret, never heard of even by young Yunqing, has always been preserved deep within the Starry Sky Sword Array, and was the very foundation upon which our Sword Sect was established on Seven Absolute Mountain.

"No one knows this secret. Our Sword Sect's heritage originated from a divine being. The reason we have stood firm on this continent for millennia is that in my youth, I was fortunate enough to encounter a true deity on the continent. I obtained a broken sword fragment from him and, by comprehending the most profound Sword Dao truth from it, established the Seven Absolute Mountain Sword Sect's legacy as it is today!

"Since your power has transcended the limits of humanity, then today I shall use the true core heritage of Seven Absolute Mountain, combined with the power of a deity, to destroy you.

"However, you need not feel any regret. For after today's battle, your name, Xu Yang, is destined to be renowned throughout the Central Region and even the entire Yingzhou Continent. In this world, every single person who cultivates the Sword Dao will revere you! Even if you are to perish on this Seven Absolute Mountain, you will have ample reason to be proud!"

Next, in the void, the souls of the seven previous Sword Sect Masters at the center of the Starry Sky Array merged into one simultaneously, and by sacrificing their own souls, they conjured the legendary divine sword fragment.

The moment this sword silhouette appeared, it immediately captivated Xu Yang's attention and piqued his intense curiosity. This was because, on this continent, there could only be one true deity: the Sword Immortal Yun Wangji!

And Xu Yang's personal divine weapon, the Jade Bone Divine Sword, was formed from one of Yun Wangji's arm bones. He genuinely wanted to see what form this divine fragment, so heavily relied upon by the Seven Absolute Mountain Sword Sect, truly took.

"Farewell, Seven Ancestors!" Jian Yunqing cried out with a solemn expression. Immediately, thousands of Sword Dao disciples from the Seven Absolute Mountain Sword Sect knelt on one knee, showing their utmost respect to the seven Sword Sect Masters in the void who were incinerating their final remnants of soul.

They were sacrificing their souls to summon this ancient divine artifact. Naturally, this divine artifact was to be wielded by Jian Yunqing himself.
