My Dreams Connect to Ancient Times-Chapter 230 - 63: You’re Striking Me With My Own Sword?

At this moment, all of Luocheng was deathly still. Countless citizens raised their heads to the sky, their gazes fixed on the grand Hall of the Hundred Schools that hung in midair, and on the towering figure who stood upon the clouds, a sword in one hand and a lamp in the other.

And now, on the massive plaza beside the Hall of the Hundred Schools that had risen from the earth along with it, the captive Celestial Humans and Earth Immortals trembled under the clash of two terrifying auras.

One Earth Immortal's face was a mask of utter terror.

"To think an Existence like this is in this Little World... and there are two of them!"

This aura, vast as the Celestial Vault and suffused with the Great Dao and its principles, was not that of a True Immortal or a Grand Grade, yet it was no less powerful!

In other words... two beings at the Grand Grade were clashing!

'But why does that young man standing on the clouds, holding a sword and a lamp, look so familiar?'

Although they had crossed paths at Taishan, they hadn't connected the two faces. The difference between then and now was simply too great...

Meanwhile, inside the Hall of the Hundred Schools, the few people who were extremely familiar with Lu Xuan were completely stunned.

'Is that Lu Xuan??'

'Or is it just someone who looks exactly like him??'

The thought was unbelievable. They subconsciously concluded that the two must just be remarkably similar in appearance. Any other explanation would be too absurd...

Only Xiaoyan and Wang Zhiyao were certain. That was Lu Xuan!

The former was far too familiar with Lu Xuan, while the latter had already seen him slay an Earth Immortal with a single palm strike and was somewhat mentally prepared...

Wang Zhiyao swallowed hard, her mind in a daze as she stared at the towering figure in the distance.

「At this moment.」

Lu Xuan held the Jade Void Glazed Lamp in his left hand, its candlelight reflecting the countless scenes of the Floating World. In his right, he raised the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword. Three dark cosmoses and five celestial vaults swirled around it, perfectly complementing the visions of myriad worlds within the lamp's faint glow.

He had been angered by the series of inexplicable Killing Skills. Now, his voice was chilling, laced with a grand might that boomed like thunder!

"You have controlled this slice of heaven and earth for one hundred thousand years and stood in the Realm of Great Virtue for just as long, but it seems... you are nothing special!"

The Virtue on Lu Xuan's skin became almost tangible, resonating with this world whose Great Dao was built upon the Ancient Sons. A brilliant light erupted in his eyes!

He roared:

"Do you not know... that even among those of Great Virtue, there are vast differences!"

As his voice fell, he raised the Three-Five Evil-Slaying Sword to the heavens, and its light tore the sky asunder!

The Ghost Valley Master's expression changed drastically, and he shouted:

"Xiaoxuan, it's a misunderstanding! A misunderstanding!"

But the only response he received was the young man's furious roar:

"Let my sword sing!"

The sky-rending sword light came crashing down. Bolstered by Virtue, though he was but a first-tribulation Earth Immortal, he unleashed a strike that rivaled a True Immortal. Combined with the resonance of the three dark cosmoses, this sword could challenge a Grand Grade!

The extremely aged Ghost Valley Master panicked. 'That's my sword! Mine!'

He didn't dare remain in the Hall of the Hundred Schools for fear of it being shattered along with him. He instantly shot into the sky, drawing upon the Hall's Spiritual Light to protect his True Spirit and physical body. This froze his lifespan, which had long since reached zero, saving him from dying of old age.

He was far, far too old, having lived for more than a hundred thousand years—beyond the lifespan limit of even a True Immortal. If not for the protection of that wisp of Spiritual Light from the Hall of the Hundred Schools, he would have long since returned to dust!

After soaring into the Celestial Vault, the Ghost Valley Master faced the vast, sky-tearing sword light head-on. Daring not to be careless, the light of Great Virtue also erupted from his aged skin, transforming into a searing fire!

He drew upon the power of this Little World's Great Dao, commanding All Skills and its principles, his voice booming!

"Wall!"

Heaven and earth compressed to an extreme degree, forming a vast barrier that stretched across the sky!

"Collapse!"

The void collapsed at his command, but to little effect. It could not shake the grand Sword Qi, though it did slow its descent for a fraction of a moment.

"Banish!"

With this command, the Sword Qi, which had been diminished by more than half after shattering the barrier, froze. Then, under the twisting influence of the Path of Heaven and Earth, it reversed direction and flew back toward Lu Xuan!

Lu Xuan's expression remained unchanged. With a single thought, the Jade Void Glaze Fire flared up and burned the Sword Qi to nothing. Then he leveled his sword, his voice condensing into a thunderous cry!

"Wait!" the Ghost Valley Master shouted urgently.

"Again!" But Lu Xuan shot forward, closing the distance. As Lu Zi, the symbol of this Little World's Great Dao,

his every punch and kick was dense with the most fundamental principles of the Great Dao. Layered on top of that was a profound Virtue, hammering back the words the Ghost Valley Master tried to speak time and again.

In an instant, the two collided hundreds of times. The Celestial Vault shattered and reformed, reformed and shattered again. Vast shockwaves swept across the entire Little World, and signs of impending doom began to appear!

"You son of a bitch!" the Ghost Valley Master finally cursed. "I'm your senior brother!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Lu Xuan's expression darkened. He found this Ghost Valley Master completely baffling, and now he was spouting insults related to their sect. Truly enraged, Lu Xuan swung his sword over his shoulder, unleashing a brilliant light that surged through the nine layers of clouds!

"This sword of mine can slay all things."

"So... can it slay you?"

The Immortal Slaying Sword Form pulsed. Nurtured by Virtue, a faint wisp of Immortal Slaying Sword Qi manifested upon the blade, tearing apart the three dark cosmoses themselves!

Sensing the terrifying Sword Qi, which shared the exact same origin as his Third Martial Uncle's, the Ghost Valley Master's scalp went numb. He leaped back, roaring in panic:

"Xiaoxuan, I really am your..."

The Sword Qi fell. The single concept of 'slaying' was demonstrated to its absolute peak as the very foundation of the Little World's Great Dao was pierced like thin paper. Only then did the rest of the Ghost Valley Master's sentence drift through the air.

"I really am your senior brother! I'm Zhang Ling!!"

Lu Xuan froze, then snapped back to his senses. He hastily redirected the Immortal Slaying Sword Qi, which grazed past the Ghost Valley Master's side. But the Sword Qi was so terrifying that its passing aura alone was enough to make his skin crack and split!

"How do you know that name?"

Lu Xuan did not let his guard down. He kept his sword pointed at the Ghost Valley Master, who was wiping sweat from his brow, and narrowed his eyes dangerously.
