I Have A Sword-Chapter 245: His True Body

Chapter 245: His True Body

Xuzhen Battlefield.

Ever since the True Universe’s announcement, a golden teleportation array appeared on the Xuzhen Battlefield. Talents from the True Universe would come out of the golden teleportation array every day.

Hardly anyone could resist the bounty on Ye Guan’s head.

Cultivation was free in the True Universe, and everyone would receive a fixed amount of spiritual cores every month. However, the monthly stipend wasn’t enough, especially once one’s cultivation base was high enough.

And that was exactly why the True God Hall’s offer was irresistible.

In addition, the True Universe had already declared war on the Guanxuan Universe’s younger generation.

It was also a war they couldn’t afford to lose. They had to make sure that the Guanxuan Universe would lose all talented members of their younger generation. Otherwise, the All Worlds and the other universes would eventually revolt.

They couldn’t allow that to happen, so the younger generation of the True Universe had been visiting the Guanxuan Universe in droves. In fact, even those who weren’t from the True Universe had been visiting the Guanxuan Universe for the sake of fighting the Guanxuan Universe’s young talents.

A young man in black hovered above the Xuzhen Battlefield. His hands were hidden in his wide robe, and lightning flashed around him. Lightning bolts incessantly bombarded different areas of the battlefield.

The young man was none other than Ye Qing.

Ye Qing had been standing at the helm of the Guanxuan Universe’s younger generation since Ye Guan’s departure. Ye Qing had gotten even stronger over the past few months, and he was now an Immortal Realm cultivator.

In addition, he had gotten a hold of nine Laws from the initial five, and it was all thanks to the Guanxuan Academy’s help.

As Ye Guan’s brother, the Guanxuan Academy didn’t neglect Ye Qing and provided him with everything. Ye Qing’s power grew tremendously upon getting a hold of nine Laws. He had also been fighting nonstop over the past few months.

Cao Bai, Ye Guanzhi, and the other members of the Guanxuan Universe’s younger generation also received ample support from the Guanxuan Academy and the Immortal Treasures Pavilion.

The True Universe had lured talents to fight in the Xuzhen Battlefield, and the Guanxuan Universe had done the same. The young talents of the Guanxuan Universe were all headed to the Xuzhen Battlefield.

The Guanxuan Universe was doing its best to groom and grow the next generation of talents. Actually, they had been doing it all along. Mu Tiandao and the rest sought out cultivators to teach. The only difference between what they had been doing long ago and what they were doing now was just the scale.

They had gone all out this time. Fortunately, they had the support of the Immortal Treasures Pavilion. Otherwise, there was no way they could do all this using the resources of the Guanxuan Academy alone.

Behind Ye Qing stood Cao Bai and the others. The most powerful members of the Guanxuan Universe’s younger generation were here.

Ye Qing stared calmly at the spacetime tunnel exuding a golden light.

Hundreds of Divine Spirits stood in front of the tunnel, and they were looking at Ye Qing and the others with serious expressions. They had exchanged blows, and the Divine Spirits knew that the Guanxuan Universe’s younger generation was strong.

A man slowly walked out of the spacetime tunnel.

Everyone’s eyes landed on the man. He was wearing a tight purple gown, and his long hair was tied up in a bun. His sharp eyebrows and overall demeanor made him seem like a hero.

A long sword was hanging by his waist.

The sword was about a meter long, and silver thread was wrapped around the sword’s sheath.

The man walked forward, and his aura alone made the surrounding spacetime tremble.

“Rong Ruo!” exclaimed one of the young men in front of the spacetime tunnel. “Ranked twelfth on the True Martial List!”

The crowd exploded into a cacophony of noises. The True Martial List was similar to the Guanxuan Academy’s Divine Martial List, and every individual on the list was one of the most powerful individuals among the younger generation of the True Universe.

The True Universe was massive, containing myriad worlds, so one had to be a heaven-defying monstrous talent to become a part of the True Martial List.

Rong Ruo was only nineteen years old, but he was already an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator. Amazingly, Rong Ruo managed to defeat a cultivator three realms above him, which was the Peak Immortal Realm. The Peak Immortal Realm cultivator he had defeated wasn’t simple, as he was previously ranked twenty on the True Martial List.

He was an incredible talent who reached the Peak Immortal Realm despite his young age of twenty. In other words, he was a monstrous talent capable of defeating cultivators multiple realms above him, yet he suffered defeat at the hands of Rong Ruo.

How scary was that?

The Divine Spirits were surprised to see Rong Ruo here.

It seemed that the True Universe had truly mobilized the talents on the True Martial List.

The war between the Guanxuan Universe and the True Universe was previously between the members of the older generation. Therefore, the True Universe refrained from sending any of their younger generation talents to the Guanxuan Universe.

The members of the Guanxuan Universe’s older generation were strong enough to charge into the True Universe, and they even almost made it into the True God Hall, which meant that the younger generation of the True Universe was bound to lose against them.

However, the war was now between the younger generation of both universes.

The older generation wasn’t going to interfere, so the younger generation would have to step up and fight.

“He’s here in his true body!” someone exclaimed in disbelief. Rong Ruo had actually come here with his true body?

It had to be known that the Divine Spirits here had come with their avatars rather than their true bodies. This way, they would be able to escape certain death despite the Sky-Connecting Pagoda’s presence. It was like having a lifeline.

In other words, they could fight the members of the Guanxuan Universe’s younger generation for as long as they wanted because they could escape at the slightest hint that the situation was going sour.

However, Rong Ruo had come here with his true body. In other words, he would actually die if he lost here. The Divine Spirits were stupefied by the revelation.

Cao Bai and the others were equally surprised, and their expressions grew somber.

Rong Ruo’s decision to come here with his true body meant that he was confident in his chances of winning.

Ye Qing cast a calm gaze at Rong Ruo.

Rong Ruo slowly walked over to Ye Qing without removing his eyes from the latter.

Soon, he stood about a hundred meters away from Ye Qing. He didn’t bother speaking nonsense as he dashed at Ye Qing and unsheathed his sword.

Shwing!

A kilometer of spacetime cracked open, and a sword appeared in front of Ye Qing.

Boom!

A deafening sound echoed as the ground trembled.

Bam!

A lightning bolt burst open in front of Ye Qing, and the collision forced him to retreat several hundred meters away. However, a sword appeared in front of him before he could even recover.

Woosh!

The sword contained a powerful energy that made it seem capable of splitting the world into two with just one slash.

Ye Qing’s eyes narrowed, and his expression turned grim upon seeing the oncoming sword. Rong Ruo was the most powerful swordsman he had faced so far, so Ye Qing didn’t dare to be negligent.

He clenched his fists, and lightning burst from his palm.

Crackle!

The lightning struck Rong Ruo’s sword and deflected it.

Both Ye Qing and Rong Ruo were powerful cultivators, and the shockwaves created from their collisions shattered the surrounding spacetime.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao of the Xuzhen World didn’t dare to slack as it hurriedly repaired every spacetime fracture. The Heavenly Dao was aware that Mu Tiandao was still here along with the other powerful ancestors.

The Heavenly Dao thought that it was time for it to show off, so it instantly healed every spacetime fracture that appeared around Rong Ruo and Ye Qing.

Rong Ruo suddenly rushed at Ye Qing and pressed his palm on his sword.

Boom!

Ye Qing’s lightning shield abruptly scattered, sending him flying away.

Rong Ruo stepped forward and blinked in front of Ye Qing.

He raised his sword up high and brought it down toward Ye Qing’s head. The sword seemed capable of slicing anything as easily as if they were bamboo.

Ye Qing’s eyes flashed sinisterly. He growled and placed his hands together.

Crackle!

Lightning and flames burst out of him, creating a terrifying combination that made Rong Ruo retreat.

Ye Qing stomped with his right foot and roared, “Come!”

A golden imprint appeared between Ye Qing’s brows.

Rumble!

The ground rumbled as the Great Earth Force in the Xuzhen World’s mantle burst out of the earth and shattered spacetime to appear in front of Rong Ruo.

However, Ye Qing wasn’t quite done just yet. He snapped his fingers, and wind blades abruptly manifested. The wind blades spun like tops, and they all made a beeline for Rong Ruo. Each wind blade contained enough power to tear space into pieces.

Rong Ruo frowned, but he remained undeterred as he swung his sword.

Woosh!

A thousand sword lights dazzled everyone as Rong Ruo’s sword collided against the wind blades and the beam of Great Earth Force. Rong Ruo’s sword was deflected, but he quickly took on another stance to unleash another sword move.

Unfortunately for him, Ye Qing wasn’t going to let him do what he wished.

A star imprint appeared on Ye Qing’s glabella as star energy from the depths of the vast expanse converged on Ye Qing.

Star Law!

Starlight from the vast expanse flew at incredible speeds to the Xuzhen World and struck Ye Qing. Ye Qing’s aura surged as the starlight entered him, and the surroundings seemed to throb as he got even stronger as time went on.

Rong Ruo’s eyes narrowed at the sight. He closed his eyes and gripped his sword tightly. He stood still—extremely still.

All of a sudden, Ye Qing rushed toward Rong Ruo and sent a punch containing the power of multiple stars, creating a hundred-meter star fist imprint.

Boom!

The spacetime around Ye Qing crumbled away into nothingness.

Rong Ruo’s eyes shot open, and he vanished into thin air like a ghost, leaving behind only the dazzling light of his sword.

The onlookers stared with bated breaths as the sword collided with the star fist imprint.

Boom!

The star fist imprint shattered, and a powerful shockwave spread throughout the Xuzhen Battlefield. Rong Ruo slashed down once to break the oncoming shockwave before rushing toward Ye Qing with a sword in hand.

Ye Qing’s face turned fierce as he rushed toward Rong Ruo.

Ye Qing would meet him halfway!

Boom!

A deafening explosion echoed between the heavens and the earth, and someone cut a sorry figure as they were sent flying by the collision.
