Chapter 146 Even a grain of rice can shine?
"seven."
The countdown continued.
Without further hesitation, Li Xiaoyao unleashed his full sword intent, transforming it into a golden sword pillar that pierced through the heavens and earth!
"Su Chen! If you want me, Li Xiaoyao, dead, then your men will be buried with me!"
He transformed into a dazzling sword light, becoming one with the demon-suppressing divine sword in his hand.
Ignoring Lin Xue's locked aura, it charged forward with unwavering determination, defying the heavens and aiming straight for Lin Xue's brow!
This sword strike embodied all his pride and rage as a Celestial Sword Immortal!
This sword strike was so fast that it seemed to be able to cut through even time!
Faced with this earth-shattering sword strike, Lin Xue's cold face remained completely unmoved.
She snorted coldly and advanced instead of retreating.
"Even a grain of rice can shine?"
The power of the Ice Phoenix within her erupted in full at this moment!
"six."
The countdown in the sky continues.
"唳——"
A high-pitched and melodious phoenix cry resounded through the sky!
That sound was no ordinary sound; it acted directly on the soul level, carrying the power of laws that could freeze everything.
The weaker Shu Mountain sword cultivators felt a tremor in their souls, their thoughts frozen for a moment.
Just as the earth-shattering sword light that Li Xiaoyao had transformed into was about to touch Lin Xue...
A gigantic phoenix, composed entirely of ice crystals, burst forth from the massive phantom behind Lin Xue!
This ice crystal phoenix was no longer an illusion, but a solid entity.
Each of its feathers shimmered with a chilling light, as if sculpted from the purest laws of ice in the world.
With a flap of its wings, it unleashed an extreme cold storm powerful enough to freeze space itself.
boom!!!
The golden sword light and the ice crystal phoenix collided fiercely at an altitude of ten thousand meters!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a visible, distinct black and white energy shockwave.
It spread wildly in all directions from the point of impact.
Where the shockwave passed, the sky was forcibly split in two.
Half of it was a golden sword domain, with countless tiny sword energies crisscrossing it.
The space was fragmented, revealing dark void cracks.
The other half was an icy blue frosty sky, where everything withered.
Even the light was frozen, and everything fell into a deathly silence of absolute zero.
The ultimate showdown between SSS-level powerhouses erupted instantly!
The Shu Mountain sword cultivators below looked up at the miraculous scene in the sky.
They were all dumbfounded and terrified.
For the first time, they realized that human power could truly rival that of the gods.
Li Xiaoyao's figure appeared in mid-air, holding the Demon-Suppressing Sword.
His robes fluttered in the energy storm, but his expression was somewhat solemn.
His strongest "Man and Sword as One" technique was so easily blocked by his opponent.
Lin Xue, on the other side, also revealed herself. She was suspended in the air, surrounded by icy blue aura, and was completely unharmed.
The enormous ice crystal phoenix hovered above her head, its cold phoenix eyes fixed on Li Xiaoyao.
"The countdown continues," Lin Xue's cold voice rang out: "Five."
Li Xiaoyao roared, "Arrogant!"
He held nothing back, and with a flick of his sword, the Demon-Suppressing Divine Sword emitted a clear and melodious sword cry.
"All swords return to their origin!"
At his command, tens of thousands of longswords were planted throughout Mount Shu.
As if summoned by an emperor, it trembled violently.
call out!call out!call out!
The next moment, ten thousand swords were unleashed.
They transformed into streaks of light, converging into a torrent of steel composed of swords.
Defying the heavens, it charged towards Lin Xue, ready to annihilate her!
This is the protective formation of Mount Shu, and also Li Xiaoyao's strongest group attack sword technique.
Ten thousand swords were unleashed simultaneously, their sword energy forming a continuous expanse, enough to flatten an entire mountain range in an instant.
Faced with this devastating torrent of swords, Lin Xue simply raised her hand.
"Frozen... for a thousand miles."
The phantom of the ice phoenix behind her suddenly spread its wings.
A force of law that transcends the material realm surged forth like a tide.
Click!
Click!
A sickening, freezing sound echoed continuously in the air.
The unstoppable myriad sword lights seemed to have struck an invisible wall when they approached within a thousand meters of Lin Xue.
The sword light flew slower and slower, and a thick layer of frost quickly condensed on the sword.
In the end, one after another, they were frozen in mid-air, unable to move.
In just a few seconds, a "frozen galaxy" composed of tens of thousands of flying swords appeared.
Suspended in the sky, the scene was both spectacular and eerie.
"puff!"
Li Xiaoyao was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face showing an expression of disbelief.
"The power of laws... How could your strength possibly allow this!"
He was horrified to discover that what Lin Xue was using was no longer just supernatural abilities.
Rather, it touches upon the fundamental laws governing the world!
Ordinary SSS-level powerhouses simply develop their abilities to the extreme.
The laws, however, are a power that only gods can fully control!
Lin Xue's ice is not just about low temperature, but a concept of "freezing", a rule!
Li Xiao felt increasingly uneasy.
Lin Xue's strength is more than one level higher than what he learned from the intelligence last time!
Her every move was powerful and sweeping, as if she were supported by inexhaustible strength.
It felt as if she wasn't fighting alone, but had the whole world behind her!
What he didn't know was that Lin Xue was acting at that moment.
It is using a fragment of the world core bestowed by Su Chen as a temporary "authority node".
It continuously draws upon a portion of the world's primordial power that was released during Su Chen's seclusion.
Su Chen is refining the world, while Lin Xue is borrowing the power of this "world"!
This is no longer a fair fight.
This is Li Xiaoyao alone, fighting against a world will that is awakening!
"Four."
The chilling countdown continues.
"I don't believe it!"
Li Xiaoyao roared, refusing to believe he could lose to a woman.
He couldn't believe that his lifelong dedication to swordsmanship would be defeated by such a clever "external force"!
He forcefully suppressed his injuries and poured all his strength into the Demon-Suppressing Divine Sword.
On the ancient sword, mysterious runes were illuminated.
A vast, ancient, and terrifying aura, seemingly from the very beginning of creation, emanated from the sword.
"With my blood, I beseech the spirit of the divine sword!"
He bit his tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the sword.
The Demon-Suppressing Divine Sword emitted a dragon's roar that shook the heavens, and its blade swelled to a hundred feet in size, transforming into a colossal sword that reached the sky and stood upright on the ground.
The blade of the sword is imbued with destructive power powerful enough to cleave stars in two.
"cut!"
Li Xiaoyao, wielding his sword with both hands, slashed down at Lin Xue with all his might.
This sword strike was his desperate attempt to save his life!
Space beneath the giant sword was easily torn apart like fragile cloth.
A massive, pitch-black spatial rift spread as the sword descended, as if it would cleave the entire sky in two.
Faced with this devastating attack, Lin Xue's eyes finally showed a slight change.
That wasn't fear, but... approval.
"He does have some backbone."
She spoke softly, and then, the phantom of the ice phoenix appeared behind her.
At this moment, she slowly merged with the ice crystal phoenix circling above her head.
Lin Xue's body was completely enveloped in a dazzling ice-blue light.
Her aura surged at that moment, instantly breaking through the SSS-level barrier and reaching an unbelievable realm.
She slowly raised her right hand, her slender, fair fingers making a loose clench in the air.
The water element of the entire world boiled at that moment, and then was instantly frozen.
A long spear made entirely of ice crystals formed from the laws of extreme cold appeared in her hand.
