Chapter 29: Chapter 20: Communing with the Divine 1
Translator: 549690339
After the terrifying bombardment had ravaged the area, dust filled the air, obstructing all vision. The once resplendent Hall of Righteous Gathering lay in ruins, on the brink of collapse, as if it could crumble into a heap of broken walls and remnants at any moment.
“Huh!”
Suddenly, a strong gust swept through, dispersing the rolling dust clouds to reveal the scene of the battlefield.
Amid the devastation, Xu Yang stood alone, surrounded by severed limbs and minced flesh and blood.
“You…!”
A sound emerged, and from the ruins Yi Feng, leaning on his broken sword, struggled to rise, blood streaming from all seven facial orifices, but he didn’t care as he stared intently at Xu Yang, “Indestructible… Vajra… Divine Skill?”
Before he could finish speaking, he contradicted himself, looking at Xu Yang in disbelief, “Even if it was the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill, it still couldn’t block my Sword Gang, and moreover, the Descending Dragon Palm you used just now was definitely not the Beggar’s Guild’s traditional Descending Dragon Palm. Such power, it has already exceeded the realm of Gang Qi. What on earth are you?!”
Xu Yang looked at him without a word, clearly not intending to answer.
This made him even more unwilling to accept it. Leaning on his broken sword, he tried to stand again, only to cough up another mouthful of blood, “Could it be that, above Gang Qi, there exists a realm, with the power of reversing aging and eternal life…”
“NO!?
Xu Yang took over the conversation, answering him, “Above Gang Qi, there is no realm. At least, not now.”
“Then you!?”
Xu Yang murmured to himself, looking at his Attribute Panel.

In the past decades, aside from managing Hundred Broken Mountains and challenging the world’s top experts, Xu Yang primarily did only two things:
practice martial arts and teach martial arts.
Through various ways and channels, he gathered martial knowledge from all over the world. After decades of refining, he reached the pinnacle of martial arts, at which point there were no longer opponents in the whole world.
And those decades of accumulation had also caused the martial training skill to develop many peculiar and even transcendent traits, allowing his martial arts to reach unprecedented heights, achieving a realm that martial artists of this world could never reach, where the Martial Path Communicates with God and transcends the ordinary.
But that was just the transcendence and sanctity of martial arts. The skill traits that had currently emerged still couldn’t create something out of nothing to lead him to a realm above Gang Qi, so his cultivation was still within the Gang Qi Realm.
As for whether there is a higher realm above Gang Qi, Xu Yang currently couldn’t give a definite answer either. But this was an answer for Yi Feng nonetheless.
“There’s none?”
Yi Feng’s eyes trembled, his last bit of determination dissipated, and his forcefully supported body toppled over, devoid of life.
A generation’s sword deity had fallen!
Xu Yang glanced at his corpse and said nothing more, turning to look around.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
Another sound came from the ruins as several figures struggled to their feet, miraculously survivors, among them Princess Qingping and Li Shaobai stood out clearly.
Their survival was not due to their high martial skills, nor was it because Xu Yang had shown mercy, but because of their distinguished status, loyal guards stood in defense, and they were smart enough not to participate in the previous killing. Instead, they had run early to the perimeter near the Broken Dragon Stone, barely escaping disaster by the narrowest of margins.
Even though they had narrowly escaped death, the residual impact of the palm strike left them not without serious injuries, spitting out crimson blood and appearing ready to collapse any moment. Even so, they still forced themselves to stand.
Why not feign death?
Because they knew, in front of such a person, pretending to be dead was meaningless. The only way to save their lives was…
“Heavenly King, please spare our lives!”
The pale-faced Princess Qingping, clearly badly injured, nevertheless managed to call out, “Previously, Qingping was delusional, not realizing the unbeatable divine power of the Heavenly King and entertaining such disrespectful thoughts, truly deserving death. I hope the Heavenly King will be magnanimous and spare this foolish girl this once. Upon returning to the court, I will definitely report to the emperor and make a decree, no, I will respectfully invite the Heavenly King to become the Grand State Preceptor, with Hundred Broken Mountains as the Protected Holy Gate, enjoying glory for eternity, never to be changed…”
“Shut your mouth, witch!”
Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the equally bedraggled Li Shaobai of the Sacred Fire Sect.
Li Shaobai, supporting himself, rushed forward, saying, “Heavenly King, do not believe the deceitful words of this witch. The current court is corrupt, and the halls are full of bad emperors and dishonest officials. With the Heavenly King’s supremely honorable status, if you become a state preceptor for that unworthy emperor, wouldn’t that be demeaning to yourself?”
Having said that, his legs buckled, and he knelt directly on the ground: “The Sacred Fire Sect’s principle has always been to honor the strong. Therefore, I brazenly ask the Heavenly King to take charge of our Sect, leading the millions of our followers to overthrow the unworthy emperor, and when that time comes, the whole world will surely respond, offering food and drink to welcome the King’s forces!”
