Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 590: Battle 040: One Sword

There is no doubt, Gu Zhenyuan was a powerful figure.

Although he was not a particularly outstanding loser in the ancient battle for Immortal Dao ten thousand years ago, in that era of great contention where even the Dharma Aspect, which hadn't reached the Venerable level, was mere cannon fodder on the path of rivalry.

But surviving for over ten thousand years, ultimately making it out of that vast ancient confrontation alive, how could he be an ordinary existence?

The massive soul power, in that moment, filled every corner of Fang Yan's body, reaching nearly a level comparable to the Celestial Venerable Level in an instant!

It's feared that ordinary Celestial Human Realm experts would definitely not be his match!

But,

So what?

Despite this body being stuck at the peak of the Nether Realm due to the short time since its formation, Austin's full-strength body at its prime had at least half-step Martial Immortal level power!

Extremely high-level realm, if not caring about any cost,

the consumption of the soul body to forcibly utilize the full explosion of Law Power could result in even Heaven and Earth Great Power at the Venerable level not being able to survive.

Of course,

forcibly using cross-realm power also comes at a huge cost, which Austin was unwilling to face.

In this world, he still preferred to solve things using the power of the native world.

The Plum Blossom Divination of the Plum Blossom Sect, although profound and powerful, was after all the Outer Sect Technique of the once-renowned Celestial Secret Palace and could only be barely practiced up to the Nether Realm. It had no descriptions for the three major realms beyond Celestial Human, Dharma Aspect, and Venerable.

This was precisely why Austin had his sights set on the inheritance of the Reincarnation Sword Master that Gu Zhenyuan held.

Reincarnation Sword Master,

one of the greatest enemies of that being who ultimately won the last victory in the ancient battle for Immortal Dao and achieved the enlightenment of a Martial Immortal.

It is said,

during that ancient war, the Reincarnation Sword Master fought that one for seven days and nights with no winner.

In the end, only due to an unexpected mishap and a slight stroke of bad luck, he ended up losing in the battle for Immortal Dao.

Beyond human reach,

truly the workings of fate!

The reason Gu Zhenyuan could survive the ancient war ten thousand years ago was precisely because of the legacy left by the Reincarnation Sword Master.

The so-called reincarnation,

already involved the concept of time,

which was the most important reason why Austin came to find Gu Zhenyuan and this conflict ensued.

Obtaining the Reincarnation Sword Master's legacy was not just to break this body's realm and strength to higher levels like Celestial Human, Dharma Aspect, and Venerable, but also to learn from its essence, to learn the essence of time power within, to integrate it into oneself, and achieve the purpose of analyzing more Time Law Origin.

Clang!

Austin transformed his body into a sword, using his Sword Grass identity,

and with the True Meaning of Swordsmanship, swung a mighty sword as if shattering the starry river!

The heavens and earth resonated with a crisp sword cry, echoing in the spirit seas of all beings.

Then a ray of light was seen, as if tearing the firmament, rising to pierce the skies!

This sword light was neither sunlight, moonlight, nor starlight; it was not a worldly radiance but Austin's sword light and divine light formed by merging his essence, energy, and spirit.

An incredibly stunning sword,

brilliant as the Milky Way!

"Not good!"

Gu Zhenyuan, possessing Fang Yan's body, suddenly narrowed his pupils to needlepoint size, only feeling his hair stand on end, a massive danger suddenly enveloping his mind.

From this sword, he felt an incredibly intense crisis!

Yet just as he was about to take a counteraction or evasive move, he suddenly discovered,

his body had become sluggish!

No, it wasn't the body becoming sluggish,

it was the flow of time that had slowed down!

Time seemed to slow down under that incredibly brilliant sword, the surrounding storms in the void, airflow, even thunder and lightning, were like they were playing in slow motion, extremely slow!

"What! How is this possible!"

The consciousness was still extremely clear, obviously perceiving the slowed time around.

But the body,

could not make any defensive or counteraction moves.

He could only watch helplessly as the sword light that divided the void into two mirror-like paths ascended through the skies beyond the nine heavens, turning into an unparalleled divine light that pierced through the void of heaven and earth,

and came crashing down!

When crossing to the Main World, during his weak development, Austin had forged a Law Divine Sword using the Laws as a foundation.

Afterward, he created the Four Spirits Sword Array based on various attributes of Law Power.

The Sword Dao had always accompanied Austin's growth path.

Nurturing the Law Longsword over the years and the experience of exploring the fusion of the Law Longsword had allowed Austin to have a deep understanding of the way of the sword.

Transforming the body into a sword, condensing Sword Intent!

At the same time, in this sword, Austin also integrated a trace of the Power of Space-Time he had comprehended.

This gave birth to this incredibly magnificent sword!

This was Austin's comprehension of the Sword Dao over the years, a sword containing a trace of weak Space-Time Power, which can be called the strongest attack that Austin could unleash in this world relying on his native power!

The sword light was vast, obscuring the sky and illuminating the entire heavens.

Everyone in Star City stared blankly at the celestial phenomenon above, their eyes filled with unparalleled shock.

The sky,

had been torn apart!

The whole world seemed to slow under that sword, and everyone could clearly see the entire firmament slowly being torn apart by the boundless sword light, the storm of wind and thunder above violently dancing, the chaotic area of lightning and thunder being shattered with one sword, raging winds and thunder dissipating, fierce energy slashing a massive horizontal rift across the dark sky!

"Celestial Venerable, this is Celestial Venerable!"

Looking at the oppressed sky above being split into two by one sword, their faces showed an unparalleled loss of composure.

Some of the expert swordsmen holding longswords, who had some reputation within Star City, were even more bewildered and at a loss.

In front of this sword,

it felt as if their usual exquisite swordsmanship, which they had always been proud of, had become a joke.

Above the nine heavens, the torrent of the sword light surged,

Fang Yan's body was sent flying back, like a falling meteor sweeping across from above, crashing down onto a mountain outside the city.

Rumble!!!

The massive sound, within a hundred meters radius, the ground sank, cracks like spiderwebs spread in all directions, enormous rocks and soil collapsed, and the entire mountain unexpectedly crumbled in an instant, dust rising skyward, dyeing half the sky yellow.

In the sky,

Austin's figure suddenly vanished,

a subtle and invisible fluctuation in the void appeared, and Austin's figure reappeared, already spanning several miles to appear above the collapsed mountain.

Woosh!

Without any visible action, a cyclone appeared in all directions, the flowing breeze swept through the surrounding dust, scattering in all directions.

The surrounding space cleared, revealing the scene before them.
