Chapter 1914: Wan Dao Meteor Sword

The disparity between them went far beyond mere differences in cultivation strength. Xu Yang’s true trump card was likely his immense wisdom.

“Oh, it seems this young man knows a lot about our lineage’s cultivation methods. In that case, I can help you achieve the same physical form as me. Just a gentle slice right there, and I can make your dream come true, hehehe.”

As he spoke, the figure, whose gender was indiscernible, suddenly vanished from the spot. The speed of his movement was so astonishing that even Xu Yang instantly became fully alert, not daring to show the slightest lapse in concentration.

The next instant, Xu Yang sensed a cold rift materialize in the air about five meters from him. It was this sudden appearance of an aura that allowed Xu Yang to pinpoint the exact location of the opponent’s otherwise vanished body.

A faint smile played on Xu Yang’s lips as his right palm unleashed a powerful surge of martial essence, striking it into the void. To an observer, it might have seemed like he was hitting empty air, but in truth, his attack landed precisely where the gender-ambiguous Martial God-level expert was concealed.

As expected, the moment Xu Yang’s palm struck, the opponent let out a muffled groan. His physical form could no longer remain hidden, materializing once more in a different spot.

“Where in the world did you come from, kid? I’ve never heard your name before. The ability to pinpoint my location with just your naked eyes... that surely surpasses the limits of a Martial God.”

Xu Yang sneered in response. “Don’t delude yourself into thinking you’re all-powerful. This world is far vaster than you imagine. There’s always someone better, a higher heaven beyond the one you know – consider those words my welcoming gift.”

Having delivered his message, Xu Yang then mirrored the opponent’s movement speed, though his own was significantly more aggressive. While his speed was nearly on par with his opponent’s, Xu Yang’s physical form didn’t completely vanish each time he moved. This indicated that he achieved such speeds purely through the immense power of his physical attributes. In contrast, the androgynous Martial God Elder before him achieved the complete disappearance of his physical form through an evolved application of void laws.

While both appeared to vanish into the void battlefield, Xu Yang’s method of movement was significantly more challenging to execute in practice. Void law is undoubtedly one of the most crucial fundamental laws in existence. However, it offers an advantage: cultivators who have achieved even a moderate level of mastery can easily grasp certain aspects of void law, developing techniques to enhance their movement speed. Yet, to master the most complete void law and possess the ability to alter localized aspects of it, as Xu Yang did, was beyond the capabilities of ordinary individuals.

Suddenly, Xu Yang seized his chance, clapped his hands together, and a potent golden light rapidly burst from his form. The Law of Light unleashed its unique spatial locking ability, projecting the true body of the androgynous Martial God, who had been concealed in the shadows, into plain sight. With this, the Martial God could no longer hide his true self.

“Now, I’d like to see what tricks you have left to deceive me.”

The smile on Xu Yang’s face deepened. With a flick of his palm, he unleashed the Lingxu Divine Artifact directly into the air. This time, the Lingxu Divine Artifact attacked in its complete sword form. The terrifying power of the sword aura condensed almost instantaneously. This incredible speed in gathering energy, combined with such absolute control over martial arts power, utterly stunned the Martial God-level expert facing him.

“Preposterous! You actually possess such a terrifying talent for controlling formidable power. I’ve never witnessed such strength in my entire life. To think our Changyun Heaven Sect could find someone as formidable as you – this has truly been an eye-opener. However, next, you will witness the true might of my dual form.”

As he uttered these words, two chilling, crimson-blue lights instantly manifested in his eyes. Then, his true body astonishingly split into two in the void. Xu Yang, however, clearly understood that these “two bodies” were merely illusory forms created through the opponent’s cultivation technique: one a male phantom, the other a female phantom.

Against cultivators below the Martial God level, the androgynous figure would never need to employ such a dual-body combat mode. It was solely because Xu Yang’s power was simply too overwhelming. To dilute the terrifying force of Xu Yang’s sword aura as much as possible, he had to split the target of the incoming pressure into two. This way, he wouldn’t risk having his soul essence instantly shattered by a single strike from Xu Yang’s sword.

What he didn’t foresee, however, was that Xu Yang possessed a countermeasure to his tactic. Xu Yang took a step into the air, his main body once again suspended in the void, simultaneously recalling the Lingxu Divine Artifact. In its place, the mighty Remnant Emotion Divine Artifact materialized.

“My apologies, but I happen to possess two swords that are also dual-natured, much like your current state. Since you’ve employed such a cultivation technique, allow me to introduce you to my two swords. They should provide you with an unforgettable battlefield experience.”

Xu Yang had no intention of holding back. With a wave of his palm, the Remnant Emotion Divine Artifact, now in its dual-bodied form, soared forth from behind him. One red and one blue, the two swords unleashed their immensely powerful Divine Artifact abilities. One began to mercilessly devour the opponent’s physical form, while the other assaulted his very soul.

Indeed. Although the androgynous figure had faced many top masters before, this was his first encounter with a powerhouse of Xu Yang’s caliber, an apex human expert. More crucially, the formidable power of the two Remnant Emotion Divine Artifact swords wielded by Xu Yang had nearly reached the absolute limit of external force the opponent could endure. The slightest misstep, and the terrifying sword qi emanating from the two blades could inflict unimaginable, fatal damage.

“Myriad Meteor Swords!”

Xu Yang suddenly roared into the air! This was his first time performing this particular sword technique with the Remnant Emotion Divine Artifact, utilizing both the male and female swords simultaneously. In just an instant, thousands upon thousands of sword beams materialized in the void, akin to countless meteors. Guided by Xu Yang’s spiritual energy, they relentlessly assailed the two split forms of the androgynous figure.

While the power of this technique appeared terrifying, Xu Yang had, in reality, only exerted thirty percent of his full strength. He had no intention of instantly eliminating one of the Changyun Heaven Sect’s seven great elders. Instead, he continued to probe for vulnerabilities within the opponent’s soul realm.
