Chapter 1964 - 1503: Xuanyuan Sword Shattered, Ying Long Appears!

At this moment, a gust of wind blew through, stirring up tiny dust in the pitch-black passage where not a single breeze had been present.

An unusual fluctuation in Qi Mechanism, like ripples spreading across a calm lake, suddenly caught Jiang Dali’s attention.

"Hmm? Someone engaged in a duel inside Lingyun Cave causing a fluctuation in worldly Qi Mechanism... No, that’s not right!"

Jiang Dali’s tiger eyes flashed with bright light, suddenly sensing something amiss.

The Lingyun Cave passage stretching a thousand miles had been extensively searched by him, finding no one at all. Even if there were people capable of dueling to cause fluctuations in worldly Qi Mechanism, they must be experts of the Returning to Truth stage, at the 9th realm. And the Qi Mechanism fluctuations caused by such formidable fighters would surely be intense, not this mild.

These mild fluctuations currently felt more like...

"Using techniques like the Regent King’s divine fragment, who fought with me before, involving space distortion to shield the Qi Mechanism fluctuations inside the battlefield. Given that faint fluctuations are now transmitting, it seems the battle is highly intense..."

Jiang Dali decisively spun around, his eyes emanating a golden brilliance of Will, and resolutely used his Primordial Spirit in conjunction with Earth Intent to search and investigate the location where the Qi Mechanism was fluctuating.

Experts at the Returning to Truth stage in this world are already sparse. Those familiar with using space distortion techniques are even rarer, like phoenix feathers. Even Xiao Sanxiao and he cannot achieve this and need further exploration and practice. Within the whole vassal state, only one person might manage it.

How did the opponent suddenly arrive inside Lingyun Cave to engage in combat?

...

Leshan City, Leshan Giant Buddha.

The water of the Three Rivers slightly trembled, the river surface splashing with rippling waves, the floating willow leaves on the water between the two banks bobbing and colliding like small boats.

Two squads of Black Wind Village mountain bandits patrolling this Leshan Branch seemed to notice something, yet appear to find nothing, looking left and right for a moment, facing each other in confusion. Seeing the mild vibrations from the land and water waves fading, they immediately relaxed, whispering and exchanging thoughts.

"It seems to be the intense undertow causing some ripples."

"Maybe it’s the return of the Fire Qilin, causing the roar."

"Ah! After all, a false alarm. Now short-handed within the Mountain Village, we’ve been on continuous watch for several days, so nerves have gotten tired and tense."

"What’s there to do? Those Abnormal People are so unreliable, disappearing collectively every few days or all fainting together, leaving us to clean up the mess every time."

"I heard from an old fortune teller in Leshan City, these Abnormal People have lost their souls, with their three souls and six spirits not within their body, leading to not just simple fainting. Anyway, it’s sinister; best to keep away from them."

"Silence! Silence! Squad Leader has already instructed not to discuss this matter. Now’s an eventful season; we brothers must grit our teeth to get through the Village’s crisis. As long as the Cloud Boss overhead is there, even the biggest problem for us in Black Wind Village is no problem."

"Indeed, indeed..."

"Splash!"

At that moment, another spray of water splashed upon the river surface, interrupting the group’s conversation.

A sturgeon, weighing around a hundred pounds, jumped up and then slammed back down into the water. The mountain bandits couldn’t help but be amused but didn’t take it seriously.

...

With a dull sound like thunder roaring, it spread inside the depths of Lingyun Cave within Emperor Huang’s Tomb, impacting the surrounding space distortion barrier, its sound completely absorbed by layers and layers of spatial isolation and distortion.

"Roar!!"

An angry yet terrified dragon’s cry followed, but it seemed somewhat lacking in power.

At this moment within the tomb, dragon blood stained the Earth onto the Ying Long totem, gleaming brightly.

A giant Azure Dragon, with only half of its body reaching over forty zhang, crawled on the ground, roaring with grief and indignation. The enormous dragon body severed from the waist had savage wounds reopening, causing luminous dragon blood to splatter across the land and gather into small rivers.

Amid the pool of blood, Undying Yin Zhong’s body grotesquely cracked open into five pieces, miserably yet still not dead, his blood-drenched face now gray and unwilling, angrily staring at the large clay hand extending from the space rift in midair, feeling a bitter chill in his heart.

Too strong!

This enemy is overwhelmingly strong!

He originally believed he could escape here with the Azure Dragon under the guidance of the Dragon Soul, protected and suppressed by the Yellow Emperor’s Luck, rendering it impossible for the enemy to trace them or make further moves against them.

Several years later, once the Azure Dragon’s wounds recovered, there should have been a turning point.

Except even Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Luck could not suppress this strong foe, and even the Xuanyuan Divine Sword could not halt them.

That clay hand extended from the spatial rift in midair, though covered in cracks, still tightly grasped the Xuanyuan Divine Sword radiating brilliant Sword Radiance. No matter how the Divine Sword trembled trying to rip the hand apart, it couldn’t escape the slightest.

A voice asserting absolute authority, above all, respecting none, echoed from the rift from which the hand protruded, "If Emperor Xuan Yuan still existed in this world, I certainly would not act arrogantly. Now that he is gone, mere Luck of the deceased gathered by Divine Weapon, without Dragon Vein suppression, is but a collapsing wall and rotten wood, daring to stop me?"

Buzz!!

As soon as these words were spoken, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword immediately radiated intense Sword Light again, its golden blade flowing with splendor. It incited the Yellow Emperor’s Luck throughout the entire imperial mausoleum, surging like a rainbow and a tide, displaying the historical scenes of ancient times with the people under the Yellow Emperor engaging in farming and animal husbandry, flourishing and reproducing, magnificently reviving.

Boom!!—

The clay hand was instantly torn and shattered beyond recognition, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword suddenly darting out, ready to redirect the sword light inward towards the space rift.

"Roar!!!"

Simultaneously, the Ying Long totem on the ground soaked in dragon blood glowed brightly, as if coming back to life, with the massive stone dragon body "cracking" free from the ground, guided by the revived Ancient Dragon Soul to swiftly connect at the Azure Dragon’s severed body, vaguely revealing the brilliance of Dragon Essence like the rising sun at the connection.

"Dragon Essence! My Dragon Essence!"

Inside the space rift, Qin Shi Huang’s ecstatic shout echoed suddenly.

"Roar!"

The dragon’s cry shook the heavens and earth, stirring up a tremendous substantial sound wave.

Whoosh!—

Two dragon claws covered in azure light, filled with blue scale armor, and two stone dragon claws soaked in blood shining with a crimson glow, whipped up a wild gust following in the wake of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, fiercely probing out.

Bang!—!

The clay hand completely exploded into countless dust scattered wide.

But in that instant, a majestic and oppressive atmosphere abruptly froze and solidified the entire mausoleum, countless dispersed dust fixed in midair, then seemingly pulled by a massive force swiftly reconvening in front of the spatial rift, forming an earth vortex.

The Sword Light of Xuanyuan Divine Sword just pierced that vortex of earth, the Sword tip seemingly shattering under immense pressure, the blade twisting with the vortex’s rotation.

That vortex, releasing astounding Luck aura, resembled a huge roulette, intending to grind everything to dust!

"Since all are stubborn, I shall teach you by cutting the sword and killing the dragon! All will perish!"

Crack!—

The earth vortex solidified entirely in majestic vast Luck power, morphing into an enormous wheel engraved with countless battle scenes of Qin Dynasty soldiers fighting fiercely. At its center, Qin Shi Huang stood proudly, clamping the Sword tip of Xuanyuan Divine Sword between two fingers, twisting forcefully.

An astonishing sound piercing the eardrums erupted.

The precious golden blade of Xuanyuan Divine Sword abruptly twisted out extraordinary cracks.

Xuanyuan Divine Sword!

It is about to shatter and split apart...
