Chapter 517 - 512: Splitting the Heavens

Li Fan looked up at the sky, the scene before him incredibly breathtaking, the Holy City of the Divine Country had quieted down, countless people were watching the scene in the sky.

The full moon covered the sky, the Holy City had already turned into night, but at that moment, the sword light filled the sky, tearing open the sky as if leaving countless cracks in the firmament, dazzling enough to hurt one’s eyes.

"Great Brightness!"

An idea appeared in the minds of the cultivators in the Holy City; only Great Brightness could describe the vigor of this sword, piercing through the night, altering the heavens and earth.

Would the High Priest, who rules the Divine Country and possesses god-like existence, be defeated?

After the Great Brightness Sword bloomed, the battle seemed to stop, those bright fractures still spanning across, the battlefield seemed extremely distant from the Holy City, the cultivators below looked up at the sky as if observing a battle of heavenly gods.

The High Priest stood under the shadow of the moonlight, the full moon stained with a trace of crimson, like blood crying.

"Li Mountain has no Sword Saint today, yet holds the Great Brightness Sword, truly worthy of Li Mountain." The High Priest murmured softly: "I once cultivated in Da Li, respected Li Mountain, now reached this level, you all leave the Divine Country, I shall not hold it against you."

The heavens of the Divine Country, still belonged to him.

"What is your hidden card, just show it." Zuo Canglan said, he understood what Li Fan meant, the High Priest had something out of the ordinary.

Thus Li Fan did not act alone but called upon them.

"If that’s the case, I will fulfill you."

The High Priest spoke, and the full moon hung high above the sky, below the winds changed, darkness devoured the sword marks of Great Brightness, the Holy City turned into darkness again, this darkness even spread to farther sea domains, causing the demons in the sea to shrink back into the deep sea.

On the High Priest’s body, wisps of dark energy flowed toward the full moon, as if a mysterious power connected the moon to him, the moon gradually darkened, emanating extremely cold aura that spread continuously.

The sky grew darker, the moonlight was disappearing, the dead silence of the night caused numerous cultivators in the Holy City to feel fear, they could only see Zuo Canglan bathed in light standing in the sky, seemingly becoming the only ray of light in the dark night.

Yet even so, under the night, still appeared particularly insignificant.

The High Priest’s figure vanished, merged into the darkness, when people saw him again, behind him appeared a massive incarnation, this incarnation radiated moonlight, enveloping the boundless space.

Outside the Holy City, the violent sea domain gradually became still, then slowly covered in frost, soon completely frozen, turning into a frozen sea.

The cultivators in the Holy City felt extremely cold, they shivered, their thoughts slowed down, someone slowly opened their mouth as if wanting to say something, but without having time to speak, they seemed to turn into ice sculptures, frozen in place, standing still.

Time and space seemed to freeze at that moment.

The land of the Holy City, plunged into eternal night, silent.

Li Fan was already at the Peak of the Seventh Realm cultivation, but even he felt as though everything around him was freezing, including his breath, his blood.

Within his body, a burst of Supreme Yang Qi Blood erupted, as if thunder roared inside, sword light flowed around his body, a Sword Immortal’s shadow sat within his sea of consciousness, preventing the invasion of that power.

But when he tried to extend his own power beyond his body, it seemed as though he completely succumbed.

The Great Dao was sealed.

Or rather, he could not borrow the way of this world.

"Saint’s Power?" Li Fan murmured softly.

The High Priest was clearly at the Half-Saint Realm cultivation, why at this moment, did it seem like he had the power of a Saint?

"It is not the Saint’s Power." Shi Dao Ren’s body also flowed with Sword Intent, his eyes fixedly stared at the sky, said: "Someone is undergoing Transformation here, he borrowed the Power of Transformation."

Transformation?

Shi Dao Ren said, above the Saint, is the cultivator of the Transformation Realm, which is the Ninth Realm.

Nine is the pinnacle, there is talk of ascension.

"Why do you hinder my Great Dao."

A chilling voice came from the sky, causing the three emperors left in the Divine Country Territory to tremble in their hearts, creating a trace of fear.

They had already betrayed the High Priest, if the High Priest won, they would surely die, even exterminated along with their clans.

A hand appeared in the air, reaching towards the place where Zuo Canglan was.

Looking up from below, they saw that hand at an instant envelop Zuo Canglan, Zuo Canglan’s body appeared extremely tiny, even everything around him seemed to freeze, as if he could only watch helplessly as the hand descended to kill.

Zuo Canglan’s whole body emitted a grand display of Light Sword Intent, yet even so, it still couldn’t spread outward, seemingly confined to the area around his body.

The Great Dao was suppressed, the Great Brightness was shrouded by darkness, Li Fan and others’ expressions changed, if the existence was at the Transformation Realm, then they would surely die.

"He just borrowed the Power of Transformation, his cultivation is still only at the Half-Saint Realm, he is not unbeatable." Shi Dao Ren shouted, seemingly reminding Zuo Canglan.

The terrifying dark hand had buried Zuo Canglan’s body within, everyone saw countless beams of Light Sword Aura erupt around Zuo Canglan, but the usually blazing Great Brightness Sword now seemed like candlelight, confined to the area around Zuo Canglan’s body.

"Boom..."

The Xuanyuan Sword that had been watching the battle shot out in the night, everyone saw a sword mark shuttle through the night, tearing through the darkness, shooting straight towards the High Priest’s body.

In the sky, that colossal phantom pointed downward, a giant finger fell instantly above the Xuanyuan Sword.

This finger seemed to harbor an utterly terrifying power of destruction, wherever it passed, everything turned to void.

The Xuanyuan Sword did not retreat, its body radiating brightly, an extremely dominant image of the Sword God emerged behind it, the mighty Sword Intent swept forward like a torrent breaking through the shackles of darkness.

"What a domineering Sword Intent."

All the Sword Cultivators cast their gaze on the battlefield, occupying the top spot on the Sword Saint List, the number one sword in the Great Li World, Xuanyuan Sword, his sword, is the sword of a ruler that can cut through everything.

At this moment, it seemed as if the Great Dao within Xuanyuan Sword’s body was burning, making him extraordinarily dazzling, even in the dark night, he shone brightly, he himself transformed into a sword and continued forward.

As the Taiyin Annihilation Finger fell, an unstoppable giant sword moved forward, a sword that could open the heavens, unstoppable, breaking through the force of the finger and continuing forward.

Witnessing this scene, everyone saw clearly, just as Shi Dao Ren said, he was only borrowing the power of Transformation, not invincible.

The large hand grasping towards Zuo Canglan did not close, between its five fingers, sword light continued to shine, even though Great Brightness could not radiate outward, within that narrow space, it was invincible.

"Strike together." Shi Dao Ren shouted, and all the Sword Cultivators shone with sword auras, their figures soared into the sky, strands of sword light ascended in the night sky, shocking the eyes of those in the Holy City.

Li Fan’s body erupted with Qi and blood, surrounded by Demon Dragon, the Great Dao roared unceasingly.

Above the sky, the immense shadow looked at them, Li Fan felt as if he was being watched by an ancient Heavenly God, moonlight fell on him, and his speed instantly slowed down, everything around halted.

Others experienced the same situation, under the force of this power, even top Great Cultivators within the Peak of Seventh Realm seemed insignificant.

"Open!"

Li Fan shouted, Sword Dao accompanied him, the Heavenly Essence Sword Scripture appeared in Immortal Sword form, he transformed into a Sword Immortal and continued upwards under the moonlight.

Others relied on their methods, still not stopping, continuing their ascent.

"Boom..."

A Taiyin Divine Light shot down, landing on Shi Dao Ren’s body, dispersing his Protective Sword Gang, terrifying aura instantly eroded.

"Not good." Shi Dao Ren shouted, sword light surrounded him, strands of divine light fell with rumbling sounds, and he plummeted downward.

The others could not withstand this power and fell powerlessly.

The divine light also targeted Li Fan, yet from his body came intense booming noise, three consecutive sword lights pierced through the darkness charging at the divine light, the immortal silhouette grew brighter, like a burning flame, or a relentless sword.

The three sword lights, Heavenly Nine Declines, struck thrice in succession.

Above the sky, a beam of divine light descended, annihilating everything in its path, resembling a beam of destructive sword light.

"Fourth sword, fifth sword, sixth sword."

Li Fan wielded the Divine Sword, slashing skyward, three swords in succession.

Like rivers of stars, the sword drew across the long sky.

The night was illuminated, Sword Immortal grasped the Divine Sword, seemingly battling the heavens.

At this moment, Li Fan revealed all his cards, already at the Peak of Seventh Realm cultivation, the Heavenly Essence Sword Scripture entered the Immortal Sword form, Heavenly Nine Declines launched six swords.

Now his aura was no less than a Semi-Saint’s, which gave him the confidence to slaughter demons in the Divine Country Territory, believing he had the power to fight even a Semi-Saint.

Meanwhile, in another area, Great Brightness shone again as Zuo Canglan sliced open the large hand, the Light Sword released, his body shot straight upward.

In different positions, three sword shadows rose simultaneously.

"The Great Dao’s deception shall not be mocked, strike." Zuo Canglan shouted, Great Brightness even firing from his eyes.

"Open the heavens." Xuanyuan Sword uttered, as an incomparably domineering Divine Sword split the darkness.

"Boom, boom, boom..." At this point, Li Fan’s aura reached its peak, he seemed no longer himself, connected to the Ninth Heaven, millions of divine rays descended, resonating with the Sword of the Great Tao.

Above the night appeared endless Sword Path Runes, Li Fan’s Divine Sword seemed to embody the Power of the Great Dao.

"Break."

When the sword emerged, it was no longer a single sword, it seemed like countless sword auras slicing through the night, ascending to strike the sky shadow.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Countless holes appeared, a labyrinth of sword-inflicted breaches within a moment.

"How dare you!"

The face above the sky, shattered into numerous holes, twisted, emitting terrifying roars, countless Taiyin Divine Lights fell upon Li Fan and his two companions, causing their bodies to plummet downward.

Yet the face high above continued to disintegrate and collapse.

"Boom!"

Countless rays of light fell, the night dissipated, illuminating the Holy City where the frozen figures gradually awoke, gazing blankly, above them, the blood-soaked form of the High Priest evaporated in the sword light, transforming into endless dust.
