Volume 10: Fuyao Chapter 153: I can hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening
The scales of the Azure Dragon are the hardest "armor" in the world.
Even if the most powerful weapon refiner in the world were to come in person, he would definitely not be able to refine a Dao Armor that could compare to this one.
Even though its scales were enduring the terrifying emptiness that could annihilate everything and stirring up sparks all over the sky the moment before, the next moment they were spotless, clean as new, like crystal, reflecting light of all colors.
A gloomy sky covered by dark clouds.
A field as dark as the abyss, illuminated by lightning.
There were also countless majestic and terrifying swords filling the sky.
With the dark sky as the backdrop, the bright sword light was like a grand firework blooming in the night.
They stretch between heaven and earth, astonishing everyone who sees them.
The foundation of this evolution formed by countless swords is Li Shiyi's unique and pinnacle Haoran Sword.
The source of his strength comes from this powerful world that nurtures all things, and from the thunder tribulations that have annihilated countless cultivators over the past tens of millions of years.
The Azure Dragon scales absorb the sky light emitted by these lightsabers, and then refract the lightning into lights of other colors and reflect them out.
Like a dream.
The light became brighter and brighter.
This means that the millions of swords falling from the sky are getting closer and closer to the Azure Dragon.
But Qinglong frowned at this critical moment, as if he had some doubts.
In fact, it has been waiting for something.
Waiting for Li Shiyi's change of tactics.
Waiting for the moment when these millions of swords become one.
But he never waited.
Logically speaking, we will wait.
Of course, this doesn't mean that he knows a lot about Li Shiyi, it's just that some things are universal.
These millions of swords will and must become one sword.
It’s a simple truth that energy is conserved.
If you disperse the same amount of energy into millions and one, the damage caused by the former will naturally be only one millionth of the damage caused by the latter.
Of course, in the game, whether it is a million swords or just one, as long as all hit the target, the total damage caused in the end should be the same.
But the problem now is that this is not a game, but the pinnacle battle in the world of cultivation.
The Azure Dragon has the hardest scales in the world. If Li Shiyi divides this peak sword into millions of swords, it means that none of the millions of swords can break through the Azure Dragon's scales.
As a great swordsman, it is impossible for Li Shiyi not to understand this principle.
Therefore, his sword must be just one strike.
The sword of the sword immortal.
There is no way it can be a million swords.
Therefore, Qinglong has been waiting for the moment when all the swords become one.
At that time it will attack with the most violent posture, cutting off all the swords into one, thus killing Li Shiyi's peak sword in the bud.
However, until the millions of swords were about to hit him, Qinglong did not wait until the last moment.
It couldn't understand why Li Shiyi made such a choice.
Even if Li Shiyi combined all his swords into one, he would still be no match for it. But if he did not combine all his swords into one, it would be like Li Shiyi had chosen to surrender early.
"Give up"?
Qinglong's confusion did not last long.
Just a moment later, it got the answer.
Li Shiyi gave the answer.
Millions of lightning swords quickly enlarged at this moment, each one standing tall and upright between heaven and earth, shaking the heavens and the earth.
They fall downward, but not to cut or chop, they construct the laws, interweaving together, covering the universe.
Build into a cage.
Sword cage.
Cages are used to trap people, not to kill them.
It turned out that when Li Shiyi swung his sword, he never thought about slaying the dragon or achieving victory from the beginning to the end.
He only had one thought in mind.
Trapped dragon.
With Li Shiyi's current strength, this sword cage formed by the power of heaven and earth is enough to trap and kill countless strong men.
But it is absolutely impossible to trap Qinglong to death, and it can't even trap him for too long.
However, the power of heaven and earth that Li Shiyi summoned with his righteous energy was only this one sword.
This means that when Li Shiyi drew his sword, he chose to admit defeat and not seek victory.
For sword cultivators, victory is their greatest pride.
The purpose of drawing the sword is to win.
For the sake of the overall situation, Li Shiyi was calm enough to give up his pride and chose to use the most powerful sword in his life, which was probably the only sword that could reach the level of a sword immortal, to trap the enemy.
Any regrets?
Maybe.
But Li Shiyi didn't care.
His sword could not trap Qinglong for too long, but it could trap him for a while.
This is the moment he wanted.
For a moment, is it short?
Very short.
But not short.
Li Shiyi believed that this "moment" was enough for the sect leader to do many, many things.
Did he lose?
Defeated.
But it seems that he has not lost.
Millions of swords dropped from the sky like fences, landing around the body of the Azure Dragon and sealing it inside.
Qinglong wanted to escape from the coverage of these millions of swords, but was pulled back forcibly.
The Azure Dragon was extremely large, but the number of swords was sufficient, so they quickly formed a dense sword cage.
Endless sword energy is flowing, and thunder is surging here.
The expression on the Azure Dragon Lord's face froze at this moment.
The Azure Dragon exhaled dragon breath angrily, and wherever the dragon breath swept across, dozens or even hundreds of lightning swords shattered and disappeared.
However, this sword cage is made up of millions of swords, and it would undoubtedly be a huge project to break them all.
And it is impossible for the Azure Dragon to breathe out dragon breath continuously.
This means that even for Qinglong, it would take at least a day or even more to break this sword cage.
Xie Qingyun has arrived at the Fuxin Mountains, and if Hun Zun and Yu Zun want to rush back to the Wujian Realm from Zhongling, it will be a long journey and will take a lot of time.
They should have been racing against time, but they happened to encounter this situation.
Time, which is already limited, cannot be wasted like this.
Soul Master could not allow this to happen.
However, this is Li Shiyi's sword, the sword of the sword immortal, who uses his righteous spirit to appeal to heaven and earth and traps the dragon with his sword.
No matter how powerful Qinglong is, as Li Shiyi said, he is not even a half-ancestor after all.
How can you be invincible if you are not even a half-ancestor?
Before becoming a semi-ancestor, he is already on par with a sword immortal.
Therefore, it is impossible for the Sword Immortal to kill Qinglong with one sword. Similarly, Qinglong cannot easily break through the cage formed by the Sword Immortal's sword.
This sword cage hanging from the sky, this sword cage endowed with power by thunder and lightning, is itself constructed by thunder and lightning, and is extremely powerful. This is his skeleton.
Each lightning sword carries Li Shiyi's unique sword intent, becoming the flesh and blood of the sword cage.
Inside the sword cage, spiritual energy was flowing everywhere, occasionally mixed with tiny roars of thunder and lightning, which seemed extremely solemn.
…
Li Shiyi put away the Taibai Sword.
His face was pale and a streak of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.
At the same time, his cultivation in the Seventh Tribulation Realm began to plummet.
Six calamities, five calamities...
Two disasters, one disaster...
Fusion, transformation into a god...
Lianxu, Yuanying...
He fell again and again until he could no longer fall, like a mortal without any cultivation.
Li Shiyi did not show any shock or loss. Instead, he showed a calm smile.
When he drew his sword, he knew the outcome.
…
The Azure Dragon Lord did not look at the Azure Dragon trapped in the sword cage, but turned to look at Li Shiyi.
He did not fall into hysterical anger because of the change in the general situation. He just sighed and asked Li Shiyi calmly and gently:
"Li Shiyi, you are extremely talented. You have practiced swordsmanship for three lifetimes, and your Haoran sword is unique. With this sword today, you can wield the Haoran sword to pray to the heaven and earth, which means that your Haoran swordsmanship is close to perfection, and you are only one step away from the final step. Perhaps after another thousand years , you, Li Shiyi, can try to open up a new path and officially ascend to the realm of sword immortals, becoming the first sword immortal of your human race in the Tianyuan year, taking over the sword of Qingyun Sword Immortal, and thus making a greater contribution in the battle between Taoism and demons."
“Now, just to stop Qinglong for a moment, you dispersed the righteousness you cultivated for three lifetimes, gave up the great path of the Sword Immortal, and only used the Sword Immortal Sword. This short-sightedness may even lead to your Sword Sect having no successor!”
"After all this, I just want to ask you one question..."
"Ten thousand years of practice, only to have a flash of success, is it worth it?"
"No one to take over?" Li Shiyi did not directly answer the Azure Dragon Lord's question, but spread his hands and looked at the Azure Dragon Lord and said:
"Haha, thank you for your concern, Soul Venerable. However, my Sword Sect has many talented people, so I have never worried about this problem."
From Yu Canghai to Xia Daoyun, and then to Young Master Lu Qingshan, which one of them is not a sword immortal?
When has the Sword Sect ever worried about having no successor?
"Without Li Shiyi, there will always be someone to take his place!"
"Besides, I'm not dead yet," he said.
"As for is it worth it?"
Li Shiyi pondered the last question from the Azure Dragon Lord, and somehow, he suddenly chuckled .
"If I hear the truth in the morning... I can die in the evening," he said.
