Struggling to Survive with Regression Power in the Primordial Saint Sect-Chapter 399 : One Sword Opens the Heavens, Foundation Establishment Perfection!
Chapter 399: One Sword Opens the Heavens, Foundation Establishment Perfection!
Jiangnan, Jade Pivot Sword Pavilion.
On Extreme Heaven Cliff, Daoist Dangmo sat cross-legged, quietly gazing at the sky. Above his head, a beam of radiant light pierced straight into the clouds, symbolizing that his fortune was now flourishing.
However, Daoist Dangmo’s face showed not the slightest joy.
‘This is urging me.’
Ever since the True Lords had gone into seclusion, his fortune had begun to rise, and it grew stronger with each passing day. By now, it had nearly condensed to the point of being visible to the naked eye.
Thinking of this, Daoist Dangmo could not help but sigh.
‘I thought that ten years ago, seizing that earth vein at Skull Mountain would slightly diminish my fortune. Yet who would have thought Heaven and Earth completely ignored it.’
Why had he personally intervened when Lü Yang sought the earth vein?
Caring for Lü Yang, not wishing him to recklessly depart, was one reason. But more importantly, this act itself was also of some benefit to him.
As expected, Lü Yang’s fortune completely dissipated, clearly punished by Heaven’s Tribulation. By the principle of Heaven’s joint liability, as the one who struck, he should also have been punished.
Yet, to Daoist Dangmo’s helplessness, Heaven and Earth seemed as if they had not seen him at all. They punished Lü Yang relentlessly, but ignored him entirely. Clearly, even Heaven did not wish to offend him at this crucial moment and ruin his grand chance to attain the【Sword Dao Fruit Position】.
“.Heaven’s Will.”
Thinking of this, Daoist Dangmo sighed once more, preparing to continue his meditation and use his Sword Intent to suppress the growth of his fortune. Yet at that moment—
“Clang! Clang!”
Clear sword cries suddenly rang within Extreme Heaven Cliff. Instantly, the winds and clouds of Heaven and Earth surged, and countless sword cries resounded in succession.
Such a change instantly drew countless gazes.
Daoist Dangmo abruptly opened his eyes. Almost at once, he locked onto the source of the first sword cry, and then joy surfaced upon his face.
“Good, good, good.”
Unbelievable!
‘It has only been ten years... could the earth vein truly temper Sword Intent? I thought he fabricated an excuse to deceive me, but it turns out it was true!’
For a moment, Daoist Dangmo was overjoyed.
Thinking of this, he even could not help but feel the urge to one day cleave several earth veins himself, to see whether his own Sword Intent would also improve.
Meanwhile, within a cave dwelling on Extreme Heaven Cliff—
Lü Yang’s Sword Dao avatar sat upright upon a meditation mat. His Sword Foundation, 【Brightly Harmonizing with the Eternal World, Upholding Righteousness with the Golden Sword】, now lay flat across his knees.
No Sword Qi flared, no divine ability manifested. His spirit, essence, and vitality were all infused into the longsword upon his knees. All his boundless mana condensed into a single point of light at the sword’s edge. Though it seemed ordinary, it was the ultimate sublimation of this avatar’s divine ability and mana.
【Sword Intent】!
The third realm of the Sword Dao, theoretically corresponding to a Golden Core True Lord, yet because the【Sword Dao Fruit Position】had not manifested, it could only stop at the level of a Foundation Establishment divine ability!
Seven Luminaries Heaven.
The vision that shook half the Sword Pavilion was but the aftershock of true【Sword Intent】, its root ultimately still resting within Lü Yang’s true body at this moment.
‘So this is Sword Intent.’
In an instant, the 【Sky of Parting Resentment】collapsed. Facing the tribulation thunderclouds of Seven Luminaries Heaven, it once again transformed into Lü Yang’s form, standing quietly in midair.
“Is it over?”
Seeing this, Ancestor Tingyou revealed joy.
Lü Yang nodded. Without hesitation, he took out the Myriad Spirits Banner: “I must trouble Ancestor to extract the Fruit Position within.”
“Good!”
Ancestor Tingyou did not doubt Lü Yang’s judgment. With his comprehension, his thoughts spun swiftly and he instantly understood Lü Yang’s intent. He immediately formed hand seals.
The Fruit Position prototype within the Myriad Spirits Banner—Lü Yang had barely touched it before, let alone comprehended it. At most, he could borrow a trace of its power. To truly summon this prototype, only Ancestor Tingyou, both the Banner Spirit and long-studied expert, could accomplish it.
“Boom!”
The next moment, the great banner unfurled. A pearl condensed from myriad radiances was lifted out by Ancestor Tingyou, hovering in the air.
Almost simultaneously, thunder roared!
The tribulation lightning that originally targeted Lü Yang instantly shifted, greedily lunging toward the pearl!
Just as Lü Yang foresaw.
Seven Luminaries Heaven was ultimately like a child, consciousness muddled. Upon sensing the benefit of the Myriad Spirits Banner’s Fruit Position prototype, it immediately abandoned Lü Yang.
Of course, this was also because, in its eyes, Lü Yang was no longer a threat. His danger seemed greatly diminished. Thus, it shifted focus—precisely what Lü Yang desired. At once, he cooperated by feigning weakness.
His face was pale as paper, his body trembling as though about to collapse.
Yet in his hand, silently, he gripped【Tribulation Wave】. His divine abilities and mana surged into it like a tide, yet no killing intent leaked forth.
“Outsider, die!”
At this moment, Yanjing City God and Ancestor Yan finally struck. They were Lü Yang’s human tribulation; naturally, they would not hold back.
“Bang!”
Lü Yang’s body was struck head-on by Ancestor Yan, staggering back a step, his mana even more feeble, cracks spreading across his body.
On the other side, City God also unleashed his attack.
The power of incense faith transformed into countless iron chains, piercing through Lü Yang’s shoulder bones. Agony twisted his face as he staggered and fell to his knees.
By all appearances, his life now flickered like a candle in the wind.
Seeing this, both Ancestor Yan and City God sighed in relief, and even the Seven Luminaries Heaven’s Fruit Position prototype diverted much of its attention.
“Boom rumble!”
The heavenly tribulation poured forth, thunder seas crashing, yet no longer upon Lü Yang. Instead, it clashed with the Myriad Spirits Banner’s Fruit Position prototype, which resisted fiercely.
Two Fruit Position prototypes in conflict!
In the struggle, the tribulation condensed by Seven Luminaries Heaven grew weaker, while the Myriad Spirits Banner’s prototype dimmed.
Finally, Seven Luminaries Heaven could no longer endure.
Boundless Heaven and Earth power spread, and Lü Yang once again beheld that talisman of dragon and phoenix script at its deepest core.
‘The time has come!’
In that instant, Lü Yang lifted his head.
Though his life still flickered weakly, his right sleeve whipped in the wind, revealing the tightly-gripped【Tribulation Wave】, its sword edge piercing toward Seven Luminaries Heaven.
Tribulation Wave was a supreme magical sword, holding five divine marvels, just a step away from becoming a true treasure. In the hands of Lü Yang, now possessing Sword Intent, it was like a fine steed meeting a worthy judge. Its edge trembled, light flaring and dimming, until a vast sea of sword radiance reflected forth!
【Proclaiming Might】!
At once, in the divisions of the Great Void, the five-colored Dipper handle shone high, the three caverns’ divine patterns manifested.
Though it was a scene of grandeur—
No killing intent was revealed.
Not until it pierced the talisman formed from the Fruit Position prototype of Seven Luminaries Heaven did all become clear.
“!!!”
An indescribable sound roared through the Seven Luminaries Heaven, rumbling across the world.
Meanwhile, Lü Yang felt as though drought-stricken land had met life-giving rain. Infinite essence of Heaven and Earth poured into him through that sword!
The next instant, the fourth divine ability light burst forth upon his body.
‘【Supporting Heaven’s Order】!’
In an instant, four innate divine abilities interlinked. Under Sword Intent’s unity, they fused, finally forming a light that tore through darkness!
“Open!”
At that moment, all of Seven Luminaries Heaven fell silent, then was cleaved apart under Lü Yang’s sword!
Within the rift left by the sword, the Myriad Spirits Banner unfurled, expanding wantonly, devouring the realm of Seven Luminaries Heaven.
In the past, Seven Luminaries Heaven could have resisted easily. But now, after expending immense power and taking Lü Yang’s sword strike, it was exhausted and had no choice but to retreat.
It needed time to recover, to gather strength anew.
Yet how could Lü Yang grant it that chance?
As it rested, with every passing second, Lü Yang was stripping away its strength. Though it was recovering, the power it could wield diminished endlessly!
“Boom!”
As Seven Luminaries Heaven was swallowed into the Myriad Spirits Banner bit by bit, Lü Yang’s aura grew ever stronger.
Behind his head, a fifth divine radiance appeared.
This radiance was like an adhesive, linking together all of his once-separate divine abilities.
Countless divine abilities, a thousand radiant colors, all finally condensed into a single circle of supreme nobility, pure as jade, suspended behind Lü Yang’s head.
【In Harmony with the World】!
In that instant, Lü Yang’s aura broke past an insurmountable boundary.
【Exquisite Heart】, 【Containing True Qi】, 【Harmonizing Origin Art】, 【Supporting Heaven’s Order】, 【In Harmony with the World】!
All divine abilities complete.
Foundation Establishment Perfection!
