Martial Universe: Inherit the Future, Quickly Become a Martial Ancestor!

hum!hum!

Two completely different yet equally fierce sword intents rose from the two of them almost simultaneously!

Lan He pointed forward with his fingers like a sword. The Azure Scale Sword emitted a joyful hum, its blade vibrated, and instantly split apart.

Not two, but four condensed, tangible pale blue sword lights, arranged in a triangular pattern, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, shot towards the tomb master's primordial spirit!

This was the mark of the Taiqing Dividing Light Sword achieving minor mastery. Four sword lights shot out simultaneously, driven by his Yuan Power at the Great Perfection of the Qi Creation Realm, showing no mercy whatsoever.

Almost at the same instant Lan He made his move, a cold sword aura also shot out from Ling Qingzhu's fingertips.

The sword energy left her body, swelled in the wind, and instantly split. One, two, three... a full seven emerald sword lights, as if they were tangible and with edges flowing with a moonlit glow, unfolded before her like a peacock spreading its tail!

The seven sword lights arrived first, forming a pincer attack with Lan He's four sword lights, completely sealing off all of Yuan Ling's escape space!

The two of them simultaneously unleashed the Taiqing Dividing Light Sword, a superior martial art originating from the Taiqing Palace in the Nine Heavens!

Lan He's ability to unleash four sword lights already demonstrates his talent, while Ling Qingzhu unleashes seven sword lights with a wave of her hand, not far from the legendary perfect state of splitting eight sword lights and condensing sword spirits.

"The Taiqing Dividing Light Sword?"

The tomb's owner raised an illusory eyebrow, clearly recognizing this sword technique, which was renowned throughout the Eastern Xuan Region.

But instead of showing fear, he revealed a playful smile, waving his hand to condense strands of Yin-Yang sword energy to block the incoming Taiqing sword light, while still having the leisure to make a sarcastic remark:

"Wow, a husband-and-wife doubles team? Their moves are exactly the same! They're quite in sync!"

"The attacks flowed smoothly, the swordplay complemented each other perfectly; it's obvious you've sparred and coordinated a lot on a regular basis, right?"

"Tsk tsk, truly a young man. Back in the day, I and..." He seemed lost in some memories, his tone tinged with a touch of emotion.

"shut up!"

Ling Qingzhu let out a sharp cry. Although her face was hidden behind the veil, the coldness in her clear eyes was almost freezing.

That shameless old spirit speaks frivolously, never uttering a word about "husband and wife" or "young couple," it's truly despicable!

Her cold sword aura intensified, and the seven emerald sword lights she controlled suddenly accelerated their attacks, taking on even more tricky angles, specifically targeting the "mouth" of that Yuan Guangying!

Lan He's face darkened slightly. This old guy, even in death, is still so improper.

He fell silent, but his gaze grew even sharper. Four streaks of azure sword light, like a leech, tightly bound the other side of the Yuanling, coordinating more closely with Ling Qingzhu's attacks, forcing the Yuanling to fight with all its might.

"Oh dear, young people shouldn't be so hot-tempered!"

The spirit of the tomb's master let out a strange cry, its figure flashing like a fish through the gaps in the sword light. Although slightly disheveled, the smile remained on its illusory face. "No need to get so agitated if your secret is exposed. I've been there too, I understand, I understand!"

"Today I will surely shatter your disrespectful spirit!"

Ling Qingzhu's eyes flashed with a chilling light, clearly showing that she was truly enraged. She had originally only intended to repel or subdue this primordial spirit, but its repeated frivolous words made her change her mind.

Such a malevolent spirit is only a hindrance if kept alive; it's best to completely dissipate it!

With a change of her hand seals, seven emerald sword lights suddenly swirled, faintly forming a mysterious sword circle. The sword lights resonated with each other, and their power increased dramatically!

At the same time, the Azure Lotus Platform beneath her feet shone brightly, and an even more vast and pure Yuan Power began to condense.

Seeing this, Lan He knew that Ling Qingzhu was getting serious, so he stopped holding back.

With a thought, the four cyan sword lights suddenly merged into one, transforming into a more condensed and thicker cyan giant sword, carrying a powerful sword intent, and slashed down!

At the same time, his spiritual power surged secretly within his Niwan Palace, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Sensing the sudden increase in killing intent and power from the two, the teasing expression on the tomb master Yuan Ling's face finally disappeared, replaced by a solemn and cold look.

"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you! Since you insist on destroying my primordial spirit and severing my lineage, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his illusory figure suddenly solidified, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and the remaining Yuan energy in the stone hall surged towards him. His pale white skeleton also emitted a faint light, as if it was injecting its last bit of power into its Yuan spirit.

In an instant, a yin-yang vortex, in which crimson and dark blue light intertwined and spun wildly, rapidly formed in front of him, emanating a terrifying wave of chaos and destruction!

"The Yin-Yang Annihilation Vortex!"

However, the two people he faced were by no means ordinary cultivators at the third level of the Creation Realm.

As a true disciple of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, Ling Qingzhu's foundation is far more solid and her Yuan power is more refined than others of the same level. Her true combat strength is comparable to that of ordinary Nirvana Realm experts who have never passed the First Yuan Nirvana Tribulation!

Although Lan He is only at the Great Perfection of the Qi Creation Realm, he cultivates both Yuan Power and Spiritual Power, and his true combat strength is enough to rival the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm!

Moreover, both of them possessed Earth-rank spiritual treasures: the Azure Scale Sword was sharp and swift, and the Azure Lotus combined offense and defense, both possessing considerable power.

"break!"

Facing the swirling Yin-Yang vortex, Ling Qingzhu shouted, and the Azure Lotus Platform beneath her feet shone brightly, transforming into a highly refined beam of emerald green light that slammed into the vortex!

At the same time, the sword circle composed of the seven emerald sword lights she controlled suddenly contracted, cutting towards the Yuanling body from all directions like a noose.

At this moment, Lanhe's cyan greatsword also crashed down, colliding fiercely with the yin-yang vortex that had been weakened by the emerald beam of light and was beginning to become disordered!

boom!

A deafening roar erupted, and the yin-yang vortex collapsed under the two powerful attacks, unleashing a violent surge of energy.

Yuan Ling's body trembled violently, becoming increasingly illusory. He still wanted to struggle, but Lan He's long-prepared mental attack had already silently struck.

An invisible yet incredibly sharp spiritual spike pierced through his already fragile spiritual defenses in an instant, heading straight for his core!

"what!"

Yuanling let out a shrill scream, its figure swaying violently like a candle in the wind, almost disappearing on the spot.

Seizing this fleeting opportunity, Ling Qingzhu merged the seven emerald sword lights into one, transforming into a stunning emerald rainbow that pierced through Yuan Ling's already illusory chest with lightning speed!

laugh!

The remaining spirit of the tomb's owner suddenly froze, his face showing resentment and disbelief as he looked down at the large hole pierced through his chest.

He looked up at the imposing young man and woman in front of him, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, the entire light and shadow shattered like broken glass, turning into countless points of light that completely dissipated into the cold air of the stone hall.

Inside the stone hall, silence returned, with only the suspended Nirvana Heart still radiating vitality and gentle light, pulsating slowly, as if the fierce battle had never happened.

"Miss Ling, this Nirvana Heart..."

Lan He looked at Ling Qingzhu and asked. According to the agreement, this item was originally meant to enhance his strength in preparation for the Hundred Dynasties War.

Ling Qingzhu withdrew her gaze from the dissipating light and placed it on the shimmering blue Nirvana Heart. Her eyes remained clear, without a trace of longing.

She gently shook her head, her voice returning to its usual cool tone: "This item is of little use to me, but it is crucial to you. Since it has helped you resolve the hidden dangers of the tomb's primordial spirit, you may accept it. However, remember to leave a message on the coffin wall; only by harmonizing Yin and Yang can the problem be resolved. This matter requires careful consideration; do not attempt to refine it rashly."

Her reminder was solemn, clearly showing that she had not forgotten the warning that "if yin and yang are not in harmony, one will surely perish."

Upon hearing this, Lan He no longer declined and solemnly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for your help and reminder, Miss Ling. I will remember it."

He stepped forward, extended his palm, and a gentle surge of Yuan energy slowly flowed out, carefully enveloping the ball of green light and holding it in front of him.

As soon as you touch Nirvana Heart, a warm and powerful vitality and pure energy flow through your arm, making you feel relaxed and at ease.

With a thought, he slightly opened the mouth of a seemingly ordinary dark blue brocade pouch at his waist, and an invisible suction force emanated from it, drawing the ball of emerald light, along with the Nirvana Heart within, into the pouch.

This dark blue brocade bag is the Qiankun Bag, a storage device commonly used in the Tianxuan Continent.

The crafting of the Qiankun Bag is quite difficult. It requires "Qiankun Wood," which contains spatial properties, as the main material, and then a talisman master must inscribe runes on it to stabilize the space before it can be made.

Depending on the age and quality of the Qiankun wood used, as well as the level of the engraver, Qiankun bags are also divided into high and low grades.

Low-grade Qiankun bags are usually made of Qiankun wood that is less than a hundred years old, and are inscribed with runes by a second-level talisman master. The internal space is only a few feet square.

The seemingly unremarkable dark blue brocade pouch at Lan He's waist is actually made of a thousand-year-old Qiankun wood core, and a Heavenly Talisman Master personally inscribed the most stable spatial runes on it. Its internal space is extremely vast, far surpassing that of ordinary Qiankun pouches.

Only a Qiankun bag of this quality can safely store such a powerful and wondrous object as the Nirvana Heart, preventing its energy from running rampant due to spatial instability.

After carefully putting away the Nirvana Heart, Lan He's gaze swept over the empty stone hall once more. Confirming there was nothing else of value, he said to Ling Qingzhu, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. We should head out. Those people outside will probably find us nearby soon."

Ling Qingzhu nodded slightly, offering no objection. The main objective of this trip had been achieved, and there was indeed no need to linger any longer.

Without further delay, the two moved and headed back the way they came, towards the outside of the bronze gate.
