I Outworked the Entire Cultivation World-Chapter 126 - 108: Heaven-Burning Sword

Ten miles outside Iron Palm Mountain.

Clanging swords and light trails of flying swords as three figures move swiftly, intertwining in a fierce battle, inseparable.

Lu Nanzhi’s gaze is cold, the light of the Ice Crystal Sword is restrained yet every strike is deadly, fiercely clashing with Xu Qiancheng’s broad sword.

Xu Qiancheng is continuously retreating, frost infiltrating his body, completely no match for Lu Nanzhi.

"Big Sister!"

In the Two Principles Array, Xu Qiancheng, despite being injured, swaps places with Xu Qianjin.

Xu Qianjin’s Light Sword Flowing Clouds Thousand Illusions, endless and unpredictable, while Lu Nanzhi responds to the changes with fierce attacks.

Xu Qianjin’s form is ethereal, avoiding the sharpness, navigating through the myriad shadows of Cold Ice Sword.

Lu Nanzhi’s brows furrowed, suddenly feeling like punching into cotton, powerless.

Lu Nanzhi retreats, ice brilliance around her surging, waving to unleash Mystic Ice Sword Tide, vast and encompassing, the killing intent surges, one wave stronger than the last, crushing forward.

Xu Qianjin and Xu Qiancheng’s expressions are tense, light and heavy swords overlap, blossoming into layers of red flames, surging like a tide.

Boom!

Two tides collide violently, instantly clashing hundreds to thousands of times, the aftermath sweeping across, dust rising into the sky.

As the dust disperses, Lu Nanzhi sees the siblings safe and sound, Xu Qianjin twirling sword flowers, diverting the remnants of the Mystic Ice beyond the Two Principles Array.

Lu Nanzhi’s pupils slightly tremble, clutching the Ice Crystal Sword tightly.

Xu Qianjin laughs, "Lu Nanzhi, your Ice Element Sword Technique is remarkably strong, three times superior to my brother; if it were him facing you, he would surely lose."

"Big Sister! How can you boost others’ morale?" Xu Qiancheng puffs his cheeks like a squirrel.

Xu Qianjin pokes him lightly, continuing, "My swordsmanship follows the path of overcoming hardness with softness, coupled with the Two Principles Sword Array’s blend of hardness and softness, it perfectly restrains you."

Lu Nanzhi understands this battle will not end well, swings her long sword, "Enough chatter, let’s fight again!"

＊

On the Heavenly Chief Peak plaza.

Endless discussions make Wenn Miao restless, she sneaks out of the meeting hall to stretch, seeing many disciples gathered at a corner of the plaza.

"There aren’t enough eyes to watch, someone please use the Shadow Refining Jade to record the battle from Lu Nanzhi’s side, I’ll watch Jiang Yuebai and Xie Jingshan over here first."

"Jiang Yuebai is currently arranging the array there, we’ll watch it later, Lu Nanzhi’s side changes every instant, daring not to be distracted. I’ve heard the siblings’ Two Principles Sword Array have tied three times with Zhuo Qingfeng."

"I’m an Array Dao disciple, not interested in Lu Nanzhi’s side, rather find Jiang Yuebai’s side intriguing. Hee Wangchen’s Mayfly Dragon Binding Array has evolved over a day and night, can easily trap Foundation Establishment Cultivators now."

"Indeed, Zhuo Qingfeng, Hua Yingshi, and Zhao Kunling couldn’t break free together, Jiang Yuebai uses only the fundamental array plates of the Five Elements Replenishing Array. Even if he could seize Wood Spirit Qi to bolster Fire Spiritual Energy, it seems like an egg hitting a stone."

"Lower your voice, look at True Monarch Fuyi’s expression over there, I feel Jiang Yuebai has found the weak point."

Wenn Miao flashes to True Monarch Fuyi’s side, looking closely into her face.

"Are you nervous?"

True Monarch Fuyi avoids her, "No."

Wenn Miao searches for a wine flask, finding it empty, remembering Wenn Ci confiscated it, forbidding her from drinking during the meeting.

Smacking her lips, Wenn Miao watches Jiang Yuebai arranging arrays within the mirage, rubbing her chin.

Two Shadow Wolf Puppets draw the swarm of mayflies, Jiang Yuebai continuously sets out array plates, pressing them down one by one, inserting Mid-Grade Fire Spiritual Stones.

Now the entire array flashes widely, like embedding a shining Fire Gemstone into the miniature Mirage Illusion.

"This girl’s foundation in Array Dao is extremely solid, Double Linked Ring Mother-Child Array, Wood Array concentrates Wood Spirit Qi, then the Fenghuo Formation boosts Fire Spiritual Energy, now uses the Wood Fire Array as a whole child array, currently arraying six, nine..."

Wenn Miao counts, "Oh, already seventy-two child arrays, nine form a mother array, combining nine mother arrays... interesting! She brought plenty of array plates, seems well prepared, her target is you, Zhao Fuyi."

True Monarch Fuyi maintains a normal expression, unemotionally assessing, "She’s well prepared, but Hee Wangchen is more adaptable, comparing them, Hee Wangchen’s accomplishments in Array Dao are higher. Foundations are important, but for an Array Master, Jiang Yuebai’s arraying method is too basic; Hee Wangchen formed this array with only nine array devices."

Wenn Miao chuckles, "Basic or not! I really admire this little girl, whatever method works to break an array and kill, is the best method!"

True Monarch Fuyi remains firm, "Even if there are eighty-one child arrays, breaking Hee Wangchen’s array at most three-tenths chance, Hee Wangchen needs merely to timely shift the array, what she’s doing now is futile."

Wenn Miao, intrigued, "Alright, let’s see who prevails in the end."

Mirror World.

"Jiang Yuebai, have you done yet, how much longer?"

Xie Jingshan pulls apart his collar, feeling like being roasted, unbearably hot.

Inner layers of Fenghuo Formation frantically gather Fire Spiritual Energy, the air in the tree cavern turning deeper red, flowing like flames.

Tree vines char, sparks fly, streams of red light inject into Xie Jingshan’s sword resting on his knee.

The fiery red sword is as bright as magma, faintly showing a Black Canine Demon Totem, lively amidst the heat wave.

Fire Spiritual Energy continues to intensify, Xie Jingshan’s Dantian swells nearly to bursting; he must circulate internal energy desperately to suppress it, sensing the threshold between Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer and Eighth Layer slightly loosen.

Outside the tree cavern, two Shadow Wolf Puppets are tightly encased by the swarm of mayflies, futilely struggling.

The mayflies amass, attacking Jiang Yuebai.

Jiang Yuebai’s body tense, drenched in sweat, quickly forcing down the last array plate.

As if activating a mechanism, crisp sounds of jade plates colliding spread from beneath Jiang Yuebai’s feet, endless.

Close to two hundred array plates light up one after another, like a wildfire spreading, irresistibly storming towards the array center.

Boom!

The ancient tree turns to dust, vast waves of flames erupt, rolling heatflow splitting clouds and sky!

The ground shakes, all things burn!

On the plaza, many cultivators retreat, feeling that fiery intention rushing from within the mirage, stunned by the spectacular scene.

True Monarch Fuyi’s expression changes slightly, the entire plaza falls silent.

"Ah haha! I’ve broken through, haha!"

Xie Jingshan’s excited shout echoes from the flames, he leaps holding his long sword, wrapped in flames, hovering in mid-air.

Disheveled hair flies amidst the fire, laughing wildly.

The dense mist dissipates, billions of mayflies turn to ashes in the fierce flames, Xie Jingshan grips his sword, summoning towering flames.

Gale winds twist, driving a hurricane, the majestic flames transform into a giant dog eclipsing the sky, glaring at the earth.

"Watch my Heaven-Burning Sword!"

Slash!

One strike, the giant dog roars, tearing the sky!

Jiang Yuebai stands beneath the fire-filled sky, watching the heatflow whip the hurricane, uprooting trees, his gaze trembles.

In the Sea of Consciousness, the fierce flames conceal Fire Wheat.

A gust arises, born within the fire!
