Chapter 1394: Transformation God Cultivator's Strike

Densely packed azure flying swords gathered together, forming a gigantic azure sword-dragon that let out furious roars. Before they even got close, a powerful gust of wind swept towards Bai Xin, threatening to tear him to shreds.

From a distance, Han Yuexin and others watched this scene, instinctively gasping in unison, their expressions turning solemn. If it were them, this single strike would be enough to annihilate them.

Facing the fierce attack, Bai Xin's expression remained calm. His right hand glowed with a vast blue light, and he gently clapped towards the void.

The void twisted, and specks of blue light emerged. All the water spiritual energy within a hundred-mile radius gathered, quickly forming a gigantic blue palm, over a thousand zhang in size. The entire blue palm was hazy blue, radiating a pure water spiritual energy fluctuation.

Soul Transformation cultivators can mobilize the essence of heaven and earth, which is the biggest difference between them and Nascent Soul cultivators.

The dense azure flying swords crashed into the blue giant palm, like a fist hitting soft cotton, without making any sound.

Bai Xin let out a soft hmph. The blue light from the giant palm intensified, expanding by more than a full circle. The blue giant palm then struck towards Wang Qingshan. Wherever it passed, the azure flying swords shattered completely, creating piercing shrieks that stung the eardrums.

High-level cultivators like Han Yuexin were relatively fine, but Foundation Establishment cultivators felt dizzy, while Qi Refinement cultivators bled from their seven orifices and fainted. Foundation Establishment cultivators quickly led them away from the area, which offered some relief.

The blue giant palm charged unimpeded. The dense azure flying swords were routed, breaking one after another and unleashing powerful waves of air.

In less than three breaths, the blue giant palm reached Wang Qingshan, less than ten zhang away. A powerful pressure assailed him from all directions. Wang Qingshan felt an invisible giant hand pressing down on his body, making it extremely difficult for him to even move.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes. A brilliant azure light erupted from his body. He spat out a mouthful of vital blood, which merged into nine azure lotus flowers. The sound of swords clanging reverberated to the heavens. The flying swords in the hands of the cultivators present trembled violently, losing control and flying towards Wang Qingshan, but their owners managed to restrain them.

Liu Ye saw this scene, and a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes. He wasn't surprised that other cultivators' flying swords lost control, but rather by the sword dao divine ability Wang Qingshan displayed.

The Four Seasons Sword Sovereign was renowned throughout the Dongli Realm in his time, leaving legends in every corner of the land. The Taiyi Immortal Sect used this to establish its foundation as the foremost great sect in the Eastern Desolate. At that time, there was a sword cultivator known by the daoist name Azure Lotus Elder. The Azure Lotus Elder was a sword cultivator as famous as the Azure Lotus Sword Sovereign. The Four Seasons Sword Sovereign had left a handwritten note detailing the powerful opponents he had encountered, among whom was the Azure Lotus Elder.

The Azure Lotus Elder was a reclusive rogue cultivator whose reputation was not widely known. If not for the Four Seasons Sword Sovereign's notes mentioning him, Liu Ye wouldn't even have known of the Azure Lotus Elder's existence.

That Wang Qingshan had actually obtained the Azure Lotus Elder's legacy was truly beyond Liu Ye's expectations.

Wang Qingshan's sword dao talent was already considerable. Now that he had received the Azure Lotus Elder's legacy, his future achievements were bound to be significant. The Taiyi Immortal Sect had hundreds of sword cultivators, but only a handful were truly outstanding. These included Chen Haibin, the Xiao Yao Sword Sovereign, and Liu Ye. Han Tianxuan was the cultivator most likely to inherit the mantle of the Four Seasons Sword Sovereign. As for Wang Qingshan, if properly nurtured, he would certainly be no worse than Han Tianxuan.

The nine azure lotus flowers burst forth with dazzling azure light, suddenly converging and transforming into a colossal lotus flower over thirty zhang in size. With a flash of azure light, a thousand-zhang-long azure sword qi shot out, slashing towards the blue giant palm.

Boom! A significant portion of the blue giant palm was cut in half, but the azure sword qi vanished immediately afterward. The blue giant palm, now a quarter smaller, continued to strike towards Wang Qingshan.

A single strike from a Soul Transformation cultivator was incomparable to that of a Nascent Soul cultivator. The difference in power was immense.

Wang Qingshan frowned. He formed a hand seal, and a spell was cast onto the gigantic lotus flower. With a flash of azure light, the azure lotus flower erupted with dazzling azure light and a loud whistling sound, suddenly transforming into a several-hundred-zhang-tall azure tornado, which surged forward with a piercing roar.

Wherever the azure tornado passed, the sky and earth changed color, and fierce winds rose, with numerous azure sword qi vaguely visible within.

The azure tornado collided with the blue giant palm, unleashing a powerful wave of air. After a brief stalemate, the azure tornado disintegrated, and the nine azure flying swords flew backward. The blue giant palm, now only about three hundred zhang in size, slammed towards Wang Qingshan with an earth-shattering tsunami-like roar.

Wang Qingshan's expression turned serious. A single strike from a Soul Transformation cultivator had exceeded his imagination. The difference of an entire major cultivation realm was not something two spiritual arts could withstand.

He possessed spiritual treasures, but he couldn't use them openly in front of so many people; that would be courting death.

After a slight hesitation, he flipped his palm, and a flash of yellow light appeared. A small, ancient-looking yellow mirror materialized in his hand. It was the Mysterious Yellow Mirror, the life-bound magical treasure of True Monarch Huang Long, possessing the petrification divine ability.

Wang Qingshan aimed the mirror at the blue giant palm. A yellow light swept across the mirror's surface, emitting a vast expanse of yellow mist that enveloped a portion of the blue giant palm. The areas covered by the yellow mist instantly petrified.

Boom! The blue giant palm suddenly exploded, and a several-dozen-zhang-large blue giant palm shot out, instantly appearing before Wang Qingshan and striking him.

Puff! Wang Qingshan spat out a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut.

Throughout the entire process, Liu Ye appeared indifferent. Wang Qingshan had not encountered major hardships on his journey so far; this time would serve as a lesson for him. Liu Ye did not intervene, but as long as he was present, Bai Xin would not dare to kill.

"Fellow Daoist Bai, you are not adhering to our agreement by attacking a junior," Liu Ye said, his expression turning cold with slight displeasure.

Soul Transformation cultivators can mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a certain area to attack enemies. In contrast, Nascent Soul cultivators can only draw upon a portion of heaven and earth's spiritual energy with the aid of treasures, resulting in a vastly different level of power.

After flying back over a hundred zhang, Wang Qingshan stopped. His eyes were filled with apprehension. Only then did he realize the immense gap between Soul Transformation and Nascent Soul cultivators. If Bai Xin had intended to kill him, even with two spiritual treasures, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape.

In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. The difference of an entire major cultivation realm cannot be bridged by one or two spiritual treasures. Of course, if it were a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure, there might be no problem, but even major cultivation sects might not possess such treasures, let alone Wang Qingshan.

Before this, Wang Qingshan had been somewhat arrogant. Besides his two spiritual treasures, he also had a set of flying swords refined from thousand-year glazed bamboo. This confrontation undoubtedly poured a basin of cold water on Wang Qingshan. In the face of absolute power, spiritual treasures and complete sets of flying swords were useless. Indeed, one's own cultivation was the key. With insufficient cultivation, even with two spiritual treasures and a complete set of flying swords, he still could not withstand a single strike from a Soul Transformation cultivator.

This was with Bai Xin holding back. If it had been a life-or-death battle, Bai Xin could likely have killed Wang Qingshan in fewer than three moves.

Bai Ling'er's beautiful eyes lit up. For some reason, seeing Wang Qingshan suffer a setback, she couldn't help but clap in delight.
