Chapter 1143: Chapter 725: Withering (Part 2)

Speaking of the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body, it falls a level short compared to Jin Xiang’s Vajra Power King True Body.

Gao Xuan has always wondered where exactly he falls short. His Dao Body is already the purest of the pure, it should have reached the pinnacle of this world, infinitely close to the Earth Immortal level. How could he still not compare to a female monk?

Now, he understands that the Innate Primordial Chaos Dao Body, after all, was self-created by him. Although it’s nearly perfect among all the known power levels, when facing the unknown Star Power, the disharmony between his Divine Soul and body becomes evidently exposed.

While Gao Xuan was reviewing his gains and losses, he suddenly had a premonition and turned his head to look, only to see Aoba in a cyan Sword Robe emerging. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Aoba, in a purely Divine Soul state, appeared even more sharp and determined than before. When their eyes met, Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul felt a slight prick.

This prick was not merely a sensation of Gao Xuan’s, but his Divine Soul directly had countless tiny holes, as if being pricked by thousands of invisible needles.

Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul slightly fluctuated, and even became somewhat deformed, but fortunately, he quickly adjusted himself.

That Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch’s killing move turned out to be Aoba, which surprised Gao Xuan a little, but he was also pleasantly surprised.

Aoba’s Divine Soul was unexpectedly so sharp and fierce, even more unstoppable than the Hongyi Sword.

This one turns out to be a natural Sword Spirit!

Gao Xuan immediately understood everything. Within the Ziwei Star Palace, all Divine Techniques and Dao Practice are blocked; it purely depends on whose Divine Soul is stronger.

In such a state, Aoba, with a natural Sword Spirit, had a massive advantage.

It was like two people fighting naked, but one side wielding a sharp sword and being a Swordsmanship expert. The advantage was just too great.

Gao Xuan instantly comprehended the calculations of the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch. Because of information asymmetry, such a scheme, though seemingly simple, was extremely effective.

He smiled at Aoba, "You’re here."

Aoba was a bit surprised by Gao Xuan’s composed and courteous demeanor. She nodded slightly, "Celestial Master Gao, your Divine Techniques are peerless. I can only seek your guidance in Swordsmanship through this way."

Gao Xuan asked with great interest, "Just to seek guidance in Swordsmanship?"

Aoba waved her hand, and the Cyan Leaf Sword condensed and formed in her hand. The Cyan Leaf Sword was originally the condensation of her Sword Intent, and in the pure Divine Soul state, the Cyan Leaf Sword appeared even sharper.

Pointed by the Cyan Leaf Sword, Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul again rippled with a layer of ripples.

The Divine Soul, which was originally as solid as a True Master, also revealed a semi-luminous state.

Gao Xuan praised, "Good sword."

Aoba’s picturesque little face was full of solemnity as she raised her sword to her brow and said to Gao Xuan, "Celestial Master Gao, please."

Although Aoba had all the advantages, she dared not be careless at this moment.

Gao Xuan originally intended to chat a bit more, but seeing Aoba’s earnestness, he didn’t say much more.

"Please."

Aoba raised her sword without any politeness and struck.

When Aoba and Ripples previously fought, she held back slightly, but at this critical moment, she spared no effort.

This strike was like a straight line without any redundant changes, simple to the extreme.

Because it was so simple, it was also extremely fast. Yet, Aoba’s sword control was leisurely and careless, so the Quick Sword, faster than a stream of light, had a kind of soothing and calmness like white clouds drifting.

Fast and slow, sharp and soft, these seemingly contradictory feelings gave the sword an extraordinary aesthetic beauty.

In Gao Xuan’s eyes, the cyan sword blade appeared as a point of cyan light, and the blade was entirely invisible.

Gao Xuan, when he used the Aurora Sword before, was also skilled in Quick Sword. After the integration of the Aurora Sword and Hongyi Sword, he focused more on the change in Sword Intent of the Water Heaven Sword, rarely employing mere Quick Sword.

Seeing Aoba’s Quick Sword again, he felt some emotion. This sword, however, was much faster than his peak.

The sword follows the spirit, where the spirit goes, the sword arrives!

The Cyan Leaf Sword moved with Aoba’s Divine Sense without any delay.

It must be understood, regardless of the technique, Divine Sense must first mobilize the power, which requires a process.

Aoba’s Sword Control was a direct movement with the Divine Sense, without any intermediate steps. If replaced by Ripples or Yun Qingxia here, at such a distance, there would not be any opportunity to counterattack, and they would be killed on the spot by the sword.

Even if Gao Xuan had the Hongyi Sword in his hand, he could not resist this sword. The gap in speed was too great.

The Hongyi Sword, although reinforced with the Aurora Law, it is a tremendously powerful Sword Artifact. Inside it, the Profound Nether Curse Sea is vast and endless.

Such a powerful Sword Artifact cannot be manipulated like Aoba’s Sword Control. Unless, unless he could completely refine the Hongyi Sword, fully controlling the Profound Nether Curse Sea, then he might be able to handle it as if it were light and wield it as if it were slow.

Of course, outside, Gao Xuan could use Space Divine Techniques to restrain Aoba.

Aoba’s Swordsmanship was pure, hence, as long as one was out of her sword’s range, no matter how powerful the Swordsmanship was, it couldn’t be applied.

Gao Xuan, at present, has nothing on him, with his Divine Soul exposed, and comparing to Aoba’s Innate Sword Spirit, the disadvantage is too great.

Gao Xuan could only retreat; Aoba’s sword was fast, but he made predictions in advance. This was both the Ninth Consciousness’s perception and his personal combat experience and wisdom.

Before Aoba’s sword could strike, Gao Xuan took a step back.

This one step of distance made Aoba’s sword miss.

Aoba unwaveringly swung her sword again to stab at Gao Xuan’s chest, and Gao Xuan anticipated and took another step back. Aoba stabbed again, and Gao Xuan retreated again.

Thus, Aoba stabbed one hundred and thirty times consecutively, and Gao Xuan took one hundred and thirty steps back.

The space within the Ziwei Star Palace was vast enough to accommodate the duel between the two.

Aoba’s consecutive one hundred and thirty strikes, although they failed to injure Gao Xuan, left behind bright cyan sword marks in the Ziwei Star Palace, along with a series of sharp sword whistles.

Amidst the continuous cyan sword light, Gao Xuan’s Divine Soul left behind trails of shadows that were pierced and torn apart by the sword light.
