Sword Aura to the Heavens-Chapter 428 - 423: Words and Laws Follow

"Doesn't understand cultivation, but can still fight?" Guan Shanyue watched as Mu Changqing moved forward, seemingly talking to himself.

Mu Changqing taught at White Jade City, though he hadn't listened to him. As a direct disciple of Taibai Sword, and a favored talent at White Jade City, Guan Shanyue was naturally proud.

Anyone qualified to lecture him should at least be a Seventh Realm Master at White Jade City, considering he himself had already entered the Dao Body Realm.

"During the cultivators' inquiry at White Jade City, Shen Jing from Lingxiao Pavilion once 'debated' with Mu Changqing. Did you hear about it?" Taibai Sword inquired.

"Heard a bit." Guan Shanyue nodded.

"Think carefully, watch well." Taibai Sword said, "There are people in this world who are different from others; the common rules and principles do not apply to them. Such people can be called 'extraordinary.'"

Guan Shanyue seemed to understand, yet nodded earnestly: "Yes, Master."

After speaking, his gaze locked ahead on Mu Changqing, eyes solemn.

At this moment, Guan Shanyue suddenly felt a tinge of regret; he should have listened to Mu Changqing's lectures, as those specially permitted by the Mountain Master cannot be 'ordinary' individuals.

When Mu Changqing stepped out, a group of cultivators blocked his path. Those remaining for this battle were at least at the late Fifth Realms, most being Taoist Body cultivators.

Yet when they looked at Mu Changqing, they couldn't help but find something strange; this disciple from Li Mountain appeared devoid of any cultivator's aura.

"Today, this setup has become a killing trap against Li Mountain. Until now, you still have the chance to leave." Mu Changqing, with a scholar's demeanor, remained courteous, showing no sign of joy or anger.

"Since it's already a killing trap, why would we leave?" someone said coldly, his intent to kill palpable. Instantly, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Magical Power roared, summoning a terrifying mass of thunder that formed into a gigantic beast pouncing towards Mu Changqing.

Mu Changqing looked up, uttering one word: "Dissolve."

As the word fell, the ferocious beast roaring with thunder of a hundred feet suddenly split and dispersed, turning into wisps of thunder.

This sight made the attacking cultivator momentarily stunned.

"Words and Laws Follow?" Guan Shanyue was also taken aback, his heart trembled slightly.

"Thunder."

As soon as this thought arose, another voice fell, and the sky seemed to crack open, spawning terrifying purple thunder light. Amid those fissures, endless thunder poured down.

In an instant, the world transformed into the Thunder Realm.

"Kill."

With another utterance, thunder from all heavens descended, instantly reducing the bodies of those in front of Wen Ruyu to charred remains, plummeting downward.

Regardless of whether they were in the Condensed Core or Dao Body Realm, there was no difference.

Above the Heavenly Gate, cultivators emerging from White Jade City were horrified by the scene before them, their hearts pounding fiercely. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Indiscriminate slaughter.

Looking at Mr. Mu's gentle demeanor, they were a bit disoriented.

A scholar kills, life's breath ends with a word.

Guan Shanyue was struck by the thought: if he were there, with one word from Mr. Mu, how would he survive?

There would be no way to live.

Mu Changqing continued to stride forward, the celestial Thunder Realm accompanying him, a horrifying annihilation aura oppressing heaven and earth, continuously expanding.

"Attack his true form." someone shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Changqing glanced at him, instantly evoking an ominous sense of death that left no room for evasion. A thunder pillar, like the Thunder Punishment Sword, descended, tearing through his magical defenses and engulfing him instantly.

From Mu Changqing's left, flying swords shot like swift lightning.

"Clang..."

A violent sound erupted as the flying swords smashed against a golden shield. Around Mu Changqing, shields formed by golden light screens appeared.

From Mu Changqing emanated dazzling golden divine light as he spoke in a low voice: "Vajra Venerate."

"Clang!!"

Ancient sounds seemed to echo, enveloping Mu Changqing's body in the silhouette of a golden ancient god, as if divinely protected, indestructible.

Li Fan looked towards Mu Changqing, watching the Vajra Ancient God's appearance, his expression peculiar.

Indeed, among the brothers, his talent was the worst.

The second senior brother doesn't understand cultivation?

"A genius of the world."

Above the Heavenly Gate, Taibai Sword praised.

"How did he do it?" someone whispered.

"He doesn't cultivate, but comprehends the Dao." Taibai Sword gazed ahead: "No wonder the Mountain Master appreciates him so much; Mu Changqing may have a chance to walk the Saint Path."

Beside him, Xiao Lv's heart was also filled with turbulence, murmuring to himself: "The world calls my Daoist skills unparalleled, declaring me as the genius of this era. But then, how should Mr. Mu be described?"

At this moment, a cultivator stood before Mu Changqing. This figure was an elderly man, dressed in a long, green robe, standing in the sky above Mu Changqing, with a phantom aura surrounding him, making him appear tall and imposing.

This person was a Seventh Realm Great Cultivator of the Qingya Saint Sect, yet at this moment, he looked seriously at the young man in front of him.

"The Dao of Man and the Dao of Heaven."

This Master Wan Xiang stared at Mu Changqing: "Without entering the cultivator's gate, yet comprehending the Dao of Heaven and Earth? This is not right."

Such a path should not exist in this world.

At least, he had never seen it.

"All existence in heaven and earth is reason, and the path of cultivation was carved by those before us. If so, why can't there be other paths to walk?"

Mu Changqing's voice remained gentle, exuding a sense of elegance and refinement.

The Master Wan Xiang of Qingya Saint Sect looked at the young man in front of him, as if engaged in scholarly debate, yet overturning his understanding.

"I don't know you, but since this is a kill trap, if you want to stop me, I can only treat you like them." Mu Changqing continued to watch calmly: "Kill you."

The Master Wan Xiang of Qingya Saint Sect was visibly shocked; so in the eyes of this young man, he, a Seventh Realm Great Cultivator, was no different from the ones before?

"I have contemplated the Dao for six decades, and have never seen such a cultivator. If today you can kill me, then what harm is there in dying here?" The elder gazed down at the ground.

With a mere thought, a god-like phantom appeared, enveloping his figure, resembling his true form, yet seeming to connect with the Dao of Heaven and Earth, being the Myriad Phenomena True Body.

On the hundred-foot-high Myriad Phenomena True Body, thunder roamed, moving like dragons and serpents, a silent annihilation breath permeating between heaven and earth. In an instant, the vast and boundless heavens were occupied by the roaming thunder.

The cultivators below were all apprehensive, as if shrouded by a silent annihilation breath, the 'dragons and serpents' roaming the sky seemed ready to take their lives at any moment.

Even more terrifying was the phenomena appearing in the sky, an endless heaven woven into a human silhouette, transformed from thunder, the world seemingly becoming a small realm covered by this silhouette.

"Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, all-encompassing Myriad Phenomena."

People raised their heads to the sky, those watching hurriedly activated their mana to protect themselves, fearing collateral damage. Such a level of attack, even the residual shock would be hard for them to withstand.

"Come, kill me!"

The sky giant emitted a voice, shaking the heavens. From above descended the Thunder God's Sword, like divine punishment, each thunder sword instantaneously descended, falling upon the Vajra Venerate surrounding Mu Changqing.

"Boom…"

The sky arose with world-shattering scenes, countless Thunder Punishment Swords descended, the Vajra Venerate emitted dazzling golden brilliance, followed by the appearance of cracks.

"Hmm?"

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone involuntarily grew tense, understanding Mu Changqing's Daoist skills were extraordinary, yet his body possibly extremely frail. Such divine punishment-like attacks descending, if defenses were broken, Mu Changqing might be obliterated instantly.

Yet Mu Changqing looked up calmly, only to see ten thousand golden rays flashing, clang… the Vajra Venerate was instantly restored to whole.

He stepped forward, taking a step.

Clang!

Another loud crash reverberated, accompanied by brilliant golden light, the Vajra Venerate once again protected, compressing back the descending Thunder Punishment Sword.

"This…"

People were shocked looking up, the scene appearing was like a divine miracle.

Clang!!

Another thundering crash, people's hearts trembled, they stared unblinkingly at Mu Changqing's figure, with each step, the Vajra Venerate would expand once more.

At this moment, the golden ancient god, already covered the heavens and the earth, breaking through the phantom formed by the myriad phenomena.

"Is this the Myriad Phenomena True Body of the Seven Realms?"

Mu Changqing murmured softly, the golden ancient god pressed toward the elder from Qingya Saint Sect, the opponent now rendered speechless, with a sense of powerlessness.

"Not very practiced at fighting, sorry to disappoint you, but I will kill you now."

With those words, Mu Changqing let the golden ancient god press down, the colossal hand seemed like the mark of heaven, descending, the elder gazed up in horror and despair.

"Boom…"

As the mark of heaven descended, the space seemed shattered, emitting a thunderous sound, all the cultivators around were shocked and flew away.

As the thunder dispersed, there was no sign of that Master Wan Xiang from Qingya Saint Sect, his soul already scattered.

The cultivators outside the White Jade City Heavenly Gate were dumbfounded staring at the scene before them, seeming to have stopped thinking.

"Once Mr. Mu learns how to fight, what will happen?" An Zhiyao murmured to herself.

"Below the Saint Realm, hard to find a rival." Taibai Sword replied: "It probably won't take many years."
