Chapter 716 Profound Yin Breaks Through Nine, Supreme Profound Reaching Heaven (Two Chapters Combined)

boom!
Dark clouds surged, covering the sky and the earth, while thunder and lightning raged, wreaking havoc in all directions.

A man sat high in the clouds, like an ancient thunder god, wielding thunder and lightning, his aura terrifying beyond measure.

In that sea of ​​lightning, a strange stone shone brightly, unaffected by the boundless thunderous energy. Occasionally, a wisp of energy would overflow, revealing a magnificent sword scene.

It is a whetstone.

"What the hell?!"

As Li Yuan manipulated the Shadow Demon to dodge and weave, he was somewhat bewildered.

His original plan was to let the Shadow Demon Body devour layers of energy, accumulating power for the Profound Yin Thunder Pool. If he could accumulate a dozen or so Profound Yin Divine Thunders...

It's entirely possible that they can break through to the tenth or even eleventh level of the Sword Realm!
Whether he can win or not is irrelevant. As long as he can serve as an anchor point, he can use his power to forcibly seize the opportunities in the tenth level, or even the eleventh level of the Sword Realm!

Therefore, he had no desire to rush things!

As a result, it was one thing that I didn't have time to devour too much on the first and second floors, but how did I end up fighting my way to the ninth floor?
"...Something in this sword realm is targeting me..."

As soon as the thought arose in Li Yuan's mind, a massive, overwhelming thunderbolt began to roll down, like thousands of thunder dragons raging and crisscrossing. Its speed was extremely fast, and it stretched across the sky endlessly, causing him to break out in a cold sweat.

One after another, the demonic shadows were annihilated by the lightning.

"Qianyang Divine Thunder!"

Li Yuan's eyelids twitched violently. He was almost certain that something was really targeting him from behind.

The reason is simple: the Shadow Demon Body was born from pure Yin and has not yet reached the point of Yin and Yang. In a sense, this Qianyang Divine Thunder is the natural enemy of the Shadow Demon Body!

Could this be a coincidence?
"boom!"

Before Li Yuan could think any further, streaks of divine lightning intertwined like a net, their energy surging for thousands of miles, covering the void and leaving him almost no room to maneuver or dodge.

He could only use the demonic shadows to share the burden. In a short time, he lost over a thousand first and second-level demonic shadows, and more than ten third-level demonic shadows also died.

lost heavily!

……

"Legend has it that after the two Sword Dao Lords perished, their spirits did not die out, but instead lay dormant in the Sword Realm, perhaps waiting for their successors to carry on their legacy..."

"Isn't it to choose a house?"

"How could it be about choosing a dwelling? Many disciples of the Weitian Dao Sect enter and leave the Sword Realm. If those two Dao Lords dared to seize a body, they would die again even if they came back to life."

"To reach the ninth level in one step, could it be that one possesses extraordinary talent, has gained the recognition of the wills of those two Dao Lords, and is to inherit their mantle?"

"Since the beginning of the Nine Eras, there have been quite a few innate Dao bodies who have entered the Sword Realm, yet none of these prodigies have been recognized by the Dao Lord. Are there any more such prodigies among those who have entered the Sword Realm this time?"

Outside the Sword Realm, divine thoughts swirled, and the group of powerful cultivators at the sixth or seventh realm were all shocked. This scene was something they had never heard of before.

"Could it be an innate sword dao physique?"

Suddenly, someone made this guess, and immediately all the cultivators turned their gazes toward Jiujitian, who stood with his arms crossed.

Not only those present, but the vast majority of cultivators who knew the origin of the Sword God's Tomb believed that the Nine Extremes Heaven was the cultivator most compatible with the Sword Realm Dao Lord.

Including himself.

There's no other reason than that one of those two Dao Lords is suspected to be a Primordial Sword Dao Saint Body.

"Ok?"

Fu Jiu Dao Ren's expression darkened, and he swept his gaze sharply back, causing all the cultivators to avert their eyes.

"This is so unlucky, it completely ruined my plans!"

Li Yuan multitasked, listening to the discussions of the group of great cultivators while simultaneously entering his military command space and picking up a fishing rod to prepare for fishing.

He is in a bad mood.

The Shadow Demon Body was still suffering in the ninth level, with each breath killing a shadow demon. This was all the foundation he had painstakingly accumulated.

"Should we try fishing at the whetstone, or take a gamble and try using that Xuan Yin Divine Thunder?"

Li Yuan hesitated.

Being kicked to the ninth floor completely disrupted his plans.

The guardian of the ninth floor cultivates the Qianyang Thunder Technique, which is fierce and ruthless and can restrain the Shadow Demon Body. Ordinary demon shadows cannot get close at all, so they cannot become anchor points.

If the Shadow Demon were to appear on its own, it would be unable to glimpse the tenth level.

Putting aside the exorbitant price offered by Daoist Fu Jiu, he himself was extremely interested in that sword manual.

"The guardian cultivates thunder magic. Would a single strike of Xuan Yin Divine Thunder be enough to achieve the desired effect? ​​To be on the safe side, it would be best to accumulate another strike of divine thunder..."

Li Yuan's mind raced for only a moment before he made up his mind that he had to take a gamble!
If the Xuan Yin Divine Thunder fails, the Shadow Demon Body can still be used as an anchor point. But if it defeats the enemy in one strike, he can even get a glimpse of the tenth level of the Sword Realm!

Which floor are you on?

At this moment, Li Yuan heard the voice, looked up and saw that it was Fu Jiu Dao Ren.

"The third floor."

Li Yuan stood up and replied, "My second primordial spirit hasn't been cultivated for very long..."

"Go in quickly!"

Fu Jiu Dao Ren interrupted him: "We can't delay any longer!"

"..."

The true disciples of Yujing Mountain are so rude.

Li Yuan inwardly grumbled, then simply remained silent and walked silently behind his senior brother, Fu Fa.

The Taoist priest remained silent, simply gripping the hilt of his sword and gazing towards the Nine Extremes Heaven.

"You think I'm afraid of you!"

The Daoist Fu Jiu suddenly appeared behind his head, and his anger flared up.

He thought he had been extremely polite, and he had tolerated the exorbitant demands of the Floating Dharma Master, but this Unforgiving Master was taking advantage of his kindness!
"Brother!"

Fu Xiong Daoist strode in and blocked the two of them.

He was so frustrated he almost vomited blood. Just one sentence, and he had given away his empty cauldron flower for nothing.

"The Sword Realm has changed; it is not suitable to go in."

Tongqing Daoist nun also came over. She glanced at Jiujitian and was quite annoyed.

Do you know who Li Yuan is?

The person who may inherit the mantle of Dongxuan Mountain in the future!
If nothing had changed in the Sword Realm, there would have been no problem entering or leaving. But now, there was clearly a major change. Not to mention Daoist Fufa, she wouldn't allow Li Yuan to put himself in danger.

This is the first time in nine eras, more than a million years, that the Sword God's Tomb has changed!
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

Fu Xiong Dao Ren was startled. He could even sense the murderous intent of Tong Qing Dao Gu. Although this Dong Xuan Zhen Chuan was not as famous as Fu Fa Dao Ren, she was just as ruthless.

What frustrated him even more was that the Daoist nun Fujiang also looked over expressionlessly, and he lost another fellow Daoist.

"……Walk!"

With a flick of his wrist, Jiuji Tian shrugged off Fu Xiong Dao Ren and left.

"...Supermale syndrome!"

Li Yuan inwardly grumbled.

He had long heard that this true disciple of Yujing Mountain was arrogant and unruly, and now he had witnessed it firsthand. If it weren't for the Dao Lord's sword energy in the sky, he suspected that even if the three true disciples of Dongxuan were here, he would have launched a sudden attack.

"This trip to the Sword Realm was something I hadn't considered carefully."

When the Daoist Fufa released the Demon-Refining Sword and the sword realm underwent a change, he was first startled, and then felt a sense of lingering fear.

Admittedly, the Sword Realm is very likely the place where those two Dao Lords passed on their legacy, but better safe than sorry, especially since it concerns Li Yuan.

"Don't mention it, senior brother."

Li Yuan waved his hand, looking rather guilty.

He had a vague feeling that the recent changes in the Sword Realm might be related to the Shadow Demon's devouring of the Cave Heaven. Of course, he thought he might be overthinking it.

The Sword Realm is so vast, what I've consumed is nothing more than a drop in the ocean, there's no reason for me to be targeted.

"Just wait and see what happens."

The Daoist nun Tongqing approached, looked up at the 'black dot' visible outside the nine layers of the Sword Realm's light barrier, and her expression became quite solemn:

"This is the first major upheaval in nine eras. The Sword Realm is indeed no place to be trifled with! If it's just a matter of inheritance, then so be it. But if that Dao Lord returns after possessing another body, then we must kill him here!"

When one's lifespan ends, for cultivators of the sixth realm, at most their cultivation speed will slow down and their presence in the mortal world will be hindered. They can simply retreat into the Void and rely on the Dharma Heaven to achieve immortality.

However, if the Dharma Heaven is destroyed, the God will be eroded by the Qi of the Void. Even if the body is possessed, the one who returns will not be a Dao Lord, but a 'demon' containing obsession.

This demon is far more ferocious than any evil god, and the Weitian Dao Sect will kill him on sight!
"Nine Extremes Heaven is far too presumptuous!"

The nun Fujiang also came over, her face was very ugly, and she was obviously annoyed.

"This person is too eccentric; it is not advisable to get close to him."

She walked to a corner behind Li Yuan, where the three disciples, whether intentionally or unintentionally, protected him in the center.

Li Yuan was no longer able to focus on anything else. He held the Manhunt Rod in one hand and concentrated on manipulating the Shadow Demon Body to fight against the nine-layered guardian in the other.

"boom!"

The thunder dragon shook the heavens, causing the void to tremble wherever it passed.

Li Yuan, riding his Shadow Demon form, brushed past the thunder dragon. The demonic shadows he released dissipated in the lightning, but many more lunged at the thunder dragon, tearing at it fiercely.

While the Qianyang Divine Thunder can suppress the Shadow Demon Body, it is not entirely unable to devour it.

"Swallowing lightning is too slow!"

Li Yuan's mind raced, and the black mist beneath him surged, suddenly transforming into a thousand-foot-long demonic dragon. The dragon roared and carried the Shadow Demon Body as it charged into the thunderclouds, attracting a sky full of lightning.

More demonic shadows scattered and flew towards the earth and mountains, devouring everything they could, from grass and trees to mud and rocks, and transforming it into demonic shadows!

Every blade of grass and every tree in this sword realm is just like the real world, but the difference is that it contains divine patterns and magical energy, which, though weak, can still be transformed into demonic shadows.

"swallow!"

"swallow!"

Leaping and dodging amidst thousands of lightning bolts, Li Yuan pushed the Shadow Demon Divine Art to its limit, his magical power being rapidly depleted like a flood.

At the same time, he activated the Commanding Weapon Scroll, relying on the "Defense Set" which was mainly composed of defensive spiritual treasures, with the "Heavenly Escape Boat", the fifth-realm spirit tortoise shell and the sixth-realm mystic vine snake skin as its core, to resist thousands of thunderbolts.

"...Lei Jingshi, the prodigy of the 'Qianyang Realm,' was defeated by me when he descended into the mortal world. Although he was at the peak of the sixth realm at the time, he already possessed the power of the seventh realm and barely escaped with his life...I deeply regret this..."

When Li Yuan got close to Lei Yun, he saw the origin of this ninth-level guardian and his cultivation level in life.

This was clearly a near-seventh-realm lightning cultivator. Even though he was suppressed to the third-realm level at this moment, his killing intent was extremely fierce. The thousands of lightning bolts he emitted were all lightning techniques.

"kill!"

Lightning flashed, emitting sounds of killing intent.

……

"That bastard is still swallowing!"

From the ninth layer of void, the sword light looked down at the battlefield and saw that the demonic cultivator was still devouring the cave heaven in such a situation, and he was immediately furious.

However, the Sword Realm has its own rules, and even it cannot directly intervene. Kicking it into the ninth level is already the limit; otherwise, it would definitely kick it into the twelfth level!

The present world is Yang, and the void is Yin. Everything that falls into the void, even the most Yang Dharma Heaven Daoist Temple, will inevitably be tainted with a trace of pure Yin energy.

The Ruins are eroding everything that comes from the mortal world!

Incense can resist the erosion of the Void, but the Sword Realm is without a master. Even with incense, it still needs to maintain its integrity. The slightest flaw could accelerate the Sword Realm's decline.

This is something it absolutely will not allow.

"How is that bastard still alive?"

The sword light trembled, urging the nine-story guardian to hurry.

According to its calculations, the demonic cultivator shouldn't have been able to hold out for so long.

"Because of his true form?"

The sword light sensed the sword realm and, through its unseen perception, knew that this demonic cultivator was merely a second primordial spirit, while his true form was a Chaos Saint Body cultivator.

"So you can act with impunity because your true form doesn't come in?"

The sword light swept across the battlefield, revealing countless demonic shadows wreaking havoc, causing the ground to sink dozens of feet wherever they passed. Enraged, the sword gleamed.
"kill him!"

"Boom!"

In that instant, the nine levels of the Sword Realm trembled, and thunderous roars spread to numerous smaller grotto-heavens. In a smaller grotto-heaven on the third level of the Sword Realm, Wu Yunlong was engaged in a fierce battle with the guardian. He fought steadily and methodically, striving not to reveal the slightest flaw.

There is only one chance in the twelve levels of the Sword Realm. He must maintain his peak condition in order to have any hope of breaking through to the eighth or ninth level.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar was heard, and then the guard opposite them shuddered and charged forward with bloodshot eyes.

"what?"

Wu Yunlong was startled. He immediately disregarded the need to conserve his strength and his aura surged as he met the enraged guard head-on.

Almost at the same time, thunder rumbled.

All the cultivators who entered the Sword Realm felt that the guardian was violent and ready to fight to the death, forcing them to fight each other.

"It suddenly sped up?"

Outside the Sword Realm, the powerful cultivators at the sixth and seventh realms, with their keen senses, noticed that everyone's climbing speed had increased dramatically. In just a short while, over a hundred people had already reached a higher level.

And it's getting faster and faster.

"Changes have occurred in the Sword Realm!"

All the great cultivators felt a chill run down their spines.

"Bang~"

Suddenly, a muffled thud rang out, and a figure tumbled out from the portal of the Sword Realm.

"So someone failed?"

The nun Tongqing frowned slightly.

The Sword Realm has existed for nine centuries, and its information has spread widely. All the cultivators who come here are skilled in combat, and unless they are extremely unlucky, they should be able to last for half a day.

"Wow~"

Not long after that cultivator fell out, figures began to fall out like dumplings being dropped into a pot. In a short while, dozens of cultivators at the third realm fell out, all looking quite disheveled.

"The Sword Realm Guardian is berserk!"

One of the third-realm cultivators coughed up blood, still shaken, while the other third-realm cultivators echoed his sentiment, saying that with a thunderous roar, the guards had all fought to the death.

"The sword world has indeed undergone changes!"

Many powerful cultivators frowned, and some even turned and left.

"Boom!"

Li Yuan had no idea what was happening outside. The guardian of the ninth level of the Sword Realm was extremely violent and almost killed the Shadow Demon several times.

"No, it's too late!"

Li Yuan had originally planned to accumulate another Xuan Yin Divine Thunder, but under such a violent attack, he simply couldn't do it.

Immediately, he turned and retreated, and thousands of demonic shadows flowed back against the current, converging within the Shadow Demon's body, their magical power surging like a river bursting its banks.

"roar~"

The demonic mist exploded, and the Shadow Demon withstood the Thunder Dragon's attack. Its body was billowing with black smoke, but it had already transformed into a thousand-foot-tall raging ape and let out a roar to the sky.

"boom!"

The giant ape roared, its sonic waves exploding like stars.

In an instant, the thunderclouds and lightning within a radius of ten thousand miles seemed to be shattered by the sound waves.

"not good!"

In the void, the sword light reacted extremely quickly, but it was completely unable to intervene in the Sword Realm Challenge. It could only watch helplessly as the violent ape opened its mouth and spat out a beam of black light.

"boom!"

The black light, like a pillar, pierced through the curtain of countless lightning bolts in an instant, and crashed heavily into the nine-layered guardian body that was also emitting lightning, which was composed of hundreds of lightning dragons.

"Om~"

In the next instant, the void seemed to tremble, and a huge roar resounded before the rolling thunderclouds were torn apart by the Xuan Yin lightning.

The Xuan Yin Thunder Pool, formed from the sacrifice of countless demonic shadows, pierced through the Qian Yang Divine Thunder that restrained him, shattering the nine layers of guardians into the sky.

"boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded.

The Shadow Demon also crashed into the earth, the terrifying lightning almost engulfing him. He also suffered a blow from the Qianyang Divine Lightning, plus the backlash from the Xuanyin Divine Lightning, and almost exploded on the spot.

But he seemed oblivious, and with the support of countless demonic shadows, he leaped up and grabbed the sword-grinding stone that remained completely undamaged even by the lightning!
"Got it!"

The moment he got his hands on the whetstone, Li Yuan was ready to give up on reaching the tenth level. He decisively turned around, intending to communicate with the Sword Realm and leave this place.

"Chi~"

But in that instant, he heard the sound of the void shattering.

Immediately, a dazzling light, as bright as the sun, dissipated, and the nine-story grotto-heaven before them vanished instantly.

"Ten floors!"

As the light and shadow shattered, Li Yuan saw the tenth level of the Sword Realm higher up, and a sword light that flashed through the void, more dazzling than the sun and more vast than the sky.

【Tai Xuan Tong Tian Sword (18th Rank)】

……

What the hell!

Outside the Sword Realm, Li Yuan was startled. The sword light he had glimpsed in that fleeting moment was now reflected in his eyes and in his heart.

"This is a top-grade Dao treasure!"

Li Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and felt that the sword light in front of him was extremely dazzling, as if hundreds of suns exploded at the same time, bursting out light and heat beyond imagination.

That sword light actually burst forth from within the sword realm.

"This is?!"

The Taoist priest's pupils suddenly contracted, and the Taoist ring behind his head suddenly appeared, about to ignite in a fraction of a second.

His reaction was incredibly fast, but it still couldn't keep up with the spread of the sword light.

"Zheng~"

A sword's cry flashed through his mind.

"not good!"

Fufa Daoren suddenly turned around and saw Tongqing and Fujiang, whose faces were equally grim.

Li Yuan, who was being protected by the three of them, simply vanished!
"Damn it!"

The Sword God Continent erupted in a deafening roar. Tong Qing and Fu Jiang reacted swiftly, one in front and one behind the other, restraining the enraged Fu Fa Dao Ren. In the next instant, they had already dragged him to the outside of the Sword God Tomb.

"Boom!"

The layers of Dao rings spread out, and the sword light surged like a waterfall, annihilating the dust and smoke for thousands of miles.

"The Great Luo Diagram!"

The Floating Dharma Daoist exuded a murderous aura and directly communicated with the Great Luo Diagram: "I want to use the only opportunity a true disciple can have to send me into the Sword God's Tomb!"

"No!"

The nun's expression changed.

For the true disciples of the Twelve Mountains of Da Luo, this one and only opportunity to use the Da Luo Diagram is equivalent to a life!

The downfall of all the great masters of the Heavenly Realm throughout history occurred after they had used this opportunity.

"Om~"

The Daoist Fufa remained silent, but communicated with the Great Luo Diagram, and a faint, ethereal Daoist voice echoed in his heart:
"The one who took Li Yuan away was the Tai Xuan Tong Tian Sword..."

Dao Yin paused slightly and said:
"This journey is not ominous, perhaps..."

"Not ominous?"

Fufa Daoist was taken aback, then shocked: "That which just entered the tenth level, was Junior Brother Li's second primordial spirit?"

The Great Luo Diagram remained silent, and the sound of the Dao vanished.

"go back!"

With a swift movement, the Floating Dharma Daoist returned to the Sword God Continent, where he saw divine thoughts swirling, and a group of great cultivators at the sixth and seventh realms gazing up at the Sword Realm.

A dark figure suddenly appeared in the light screen of the tenth level of the Sword Realm!
"Someone has reached the tenth level of the Sword Realm!"

The two nuns, Tongqing and Tongqing, also witnessed this scene. Both were perceptive individuals, and upon exchanging a glance, they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

"It seems that the others didn't see that sword light either..."

Looking around, he saw that all the cultivators were amazed that someone had broken into the tenth level of the Sword Realm. Fufa Daoren suddenly realized something and remembered what the Great Luo Diagram had said before.

"The Supreme Profound Heaven-Piercing Sword..."

……

"Om~"

Li Yuan heard a sword cry, and faintly, it seemed as if an extremely powerful will swept over him before disappearing.

[...Second Primordial Spirit...Mysterious Yin Divine Thunder...Not a Spiritual Treasure...Self-cultivated and self-refined...Qualified for the tenth level of the Sword Realm...]

[…Approved, its true form will be captured and brought into the Sword Realm…]

[...The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth...]

"Wow~"

All the messages flashed by and disappeared in an instant. When Li Yuan opened his eyes again, he saw the Shadow Demon wearing a bronze demon mask, its aura so weak that it seemed it would collapse at any moment.

And a desolate, broken starry sky.

He was floating in the starry sky.

"..."

The change was so sudden that Li Yuan was momentarily stunned before he could react.

"I've been drawn into the tenth level of the Sword Realm?!"

"Was it the 'Great Shift to Heaven' activated by that sword?"

Realizing what was happening, Li Yuan's face darkened as he looked at the desolate, almost empty starry sky before him.

Is this even possible?!
"Om~"

Li Yuan looked up and saw a sword light flowing in the void, flashing and disappearing in an instant.

【Tai Xuan Tong Tian Sword (18th Rank)】

Li Yuan played with the whetstone, feeling the divine patterns flowing within it, intricate and endless.

With just a light touch, the Demon-Refining Immortal-Slaying Sword in his dantian trembled slightly.

"The tenth level of the Sword Realm requires the true self to come? Or is it because of that Tai Xuan Tong Tian Sword?"

Li Yuan frowned and looked around. Apart from a few scattered starlight, there was nothing there. He looked into the distance and finally saw a meteorite drifting in the starry sky.

On that meteorite, there was a faint human-shaped outline.

"This is targeting me..."

Seeing nothing to devour, Li Yuan, his face dark, stored the Shadow Demon Body in his divine realm to nurture it, swallowed a spirit pill, and calmed his mind.

Although he had no plans to enter the Sword Realm in his physical form, now that he was in, he had no choice but to suppress his thoughts and fight.

Of course, he was also sensing the sword realm.

But then a sword rang out, and it seemed that they had to finish this fight before they could leave...

……

"There's actually a Primordial Sword Saint Body outside..."

Beyond the void, the sword light moved nimbly, seemingly quite pleased, yet it looked back beyond the sword realm with a hint of regret.

When it used the Heavenly Shift, it sensed a wisp of the aura of an innate sword saint body, but it was already close to the eighth realm and could not be drawn into the sword realm.

"This person's second primordial spirit cultivates the Extreme Demonic Art, but his true body is a pure Xuanmen cultivator, with the five elements flowing through him, and his chaotic physique possesses quite a bit of grandeur..."

Sword light surveyed the starry sea, preparing to give this bastard a big 'surprise'.
