Chapter 449 - 390: Sixth Restriction, Activate!

The strongest sword in the world soared into the sky, landing in the palm of the young boy’s right hand.

The mark in his palm instantly connected with the restriction on the Bronze Sword.

The ancient Sword Spirit, forcibly sealed, awoke from its slumber this way.

Once the Evil Sword was in hand, it immediately began to tremble, letting out a sound of extreme satisfaction!

The True Monarch Ling Xiao, who was hovering opposite, looked at the sword, and his first thought was:

"What an ugly sword!"

This left him quite puzzled.

The opponent, having been chosen to enter the Origin Spirit Realm, was naturally a key cultivation target of the Profound Yellow Realm.

Additionally, he was undoubtedly gifted, standing at the pinnacle of his peers!

Such a young Sword Cultivator, what kind of sword could he not obtain?

Yet he chose to use one that was plainly this ugly.

Even stranger, at first glance, he could not discern anything special about this sword.

His Divine Thought scanned over it, feeling that it was just an ordinary sword.

But after the piercing sword cry rang out, True Monarch Ling Xiao immediately sensed something was wrong.

A wave of Spiritual Pressure began to spread around, and even his Nascent Soul Great Perfection level Primordial Spirit felt extremely uncomfortable, experiencing some oppression from the Sword Spirit.

It wasn’t that this Spiritual Pressure was so strong, but its rank was simply too high.

This was a suppression from rank!

What made it even more bizarre was that this Spiritual Pressure seemed to have signs of continuous ascension.

The reason for this was that Xu Ziqing, after gripping the sword with his right hand, didn’t immediately release the restriction on the Evil Sword.

Although the Sword Spirit had awakened, most of its power was still sealed.

It immediately tried to seize control over Xu Ziqing’s body.

But the young boy refused to allow that.

A look of struggle appeared on his face.

The usually delicate features twisted a little, veins popping on his forehead.

This made his expression appear somewhat sickly.

The young boy stared directly at True Monarch Ling Xiao in front of him and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"My senior brother’s possession, is that something you can covet?"

Upon hearing this, True Monarch Ling Xiao’s gaze turned sharp.

He was about to speak when this young boy, whom he deemed exceedingly arrogant, said again:

"Then leave your life here!"

With those words, Xu Ziqing stopped wasting words with him.

The sixth restriction! Release—!

The Bronze Sword in his hand immediately emitted an even louder sword cry, as if overwhelmed with pleasure.

Thick Evil Qi began to gush out from the Evil Sword, swirling around the sword and the young boy!

True Monarch Ling Xiao’s gaze couldn’t help but sharpen as he instinctively retreated.

The Spiritual Pressure emitted by this Bronze Sword was ascending at an incredibly terrifying pace!

His Primordial Spirit was under intense pressure, causing him to feel bursts of stabbing pain.

"What is going on!" An endless vigilance passed through True Monarch Ling Xiao’s eyes.

At this moment, he didn’t even dare to act rashly.

"I am the first True Monarch of Kunlun Cave Heaven!"

"If this Sword Spirit can exert this level of pressure on my Primordial Spirit..."

"Doesn’t that mean its rank is even above the Nascent Soul?"

"Could it be...."

True Monarch Ling Xiao’s gaze hardened, and three words popped into his head—great treasure!

This is definitely a heaven-defying treasure!

Though he missed the Night Venerable Fruit Position, perhaps this trip was not in vain?

His eyes instantly revealed the greed of a Kunlun person.

At this moment, Xu Ziqing had successfully forced open the sixth restriction on the Bronze Sword.

The price he paid this time was far more apparent than last time.

His appearance didn’t change at all.

But among his black hair, strands of silver appeared.

And as time passed, the white hair became more and more prevalent.

Yet his gaze grew increasingly calm.

As if everything he sacrificed was of no concern to him.

Just as the young boy had thought earlier—at any cost!

Xu Ziqing directly relaxed his mind, unhardened his defense.

The Evil Sword’s Sword Spirit immediately took over control of the body.

True Monarch Ling Xiao stood in the sky a distance away, looking at the young boy, and his look immediately changed.

It was an overlooking gaze from the heights of the nine heavens, full of disdain.

Within this disdain, there was also undisguised contempt.

The Bronze Sword remained the same, always looking down equally on everyone.

This supreme sword of the Profound Yellow Realm has always been this way.

Even if you’re from Kunlun, you are no exception.

If it looks down upon you, then it simply looks down upon you!

"Xu Ziqing" slowly raised his right hand, pointing the sword tip at True Monarch Ling Xiao.

He did not speak.

But a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes.

Besides, True Monarch Ling Xiao suspected if it was just his illusion.

He actually saw...appetite in the young boy’s eyes?

"That’s right, he actually looked at me with that kind of gaze!"

"As if I were his prey?"

"No! His food!"

The other appeared like a ravenous person, finally seeing a sumptuous meal, eager to savor the feast!

"Impudence!!!" The highly esteemed True Monarch Ling Xiao couldn’t help but shout.

He immediately summoned his Flying Sword.

At the same time, a golden bell materialized by his side.

Behind True Monarch Ling Xiao, a sun wheel appeared.

The top of the sun wheel was ablaze with golden flames, slowly rotating.

The Flying Sword shot forward, immediately splitting into 81 identical Flying Swords in the air.

"Xu Ziqing" still held the Bronze Sword aloft with his right hand, merely glancing aside.

Then, an expression of undisguised contempt appeared on his face.

He looked at the 81 Flying Swords before him, as if seeing a pile of garbage, a heap of scrap iron.

On the Bronze Sword, azure black Evil Qi rose up.

It began to devour the exceptionally dense Spiritual Qi around it.

"Xu Ziqing" directly swung a sword forward.

No specific move, unlike any Swordsmanship.

Just casually slashing forward like that.

The Sword Qi enveloped with Evil Qi, as if wanting to split the heavens and earth apart.

Wherever it went, everything would be consumed, annihilated from this world, becoming part of its power!

Spiritual Qi was drained dry.

The air was being sucked out.

The Flying Swords it touched immediately stalled in the air.

Subsequently, these exquisite Magical Treasures began to rust.

The sword bodies would start to distort.

Even cracked.

Some instantly shattered into fragments.

In just a few breaths, 13 flying swords had gradually turned to dust!

True Monarch Ling Xiao’s face showed a look of astonishment.

"What is this thing!"

Fortunately, only the subsidiary swords were damaged, the main sword remained unharmed.

Otherwise, if the magical treasure were destroyed, he would immediately suffer a backlash!

However, the sense of relief in his heart lasted only a fleeting moment.

Because this young man swung his sword once again!

His hair blew back in the wind, with more silver strands appearing among the black hair.

This time, he swung his sword again.

"Damn! It’s aiming for the main sword!"

True Monarch Ling Xiao didn’t understand what this thing was at first, so he decided to retreat.

He immediately recalled the main sword.

But bizarrely, after this sword Qi was unleashed, it could... accelerate midway!

Its speed instantly surged, and the rising Evil Qi reached forward like demonic claws.

The speed of the main sword’s evasion couldn’t match it.

In no time, it was destroyed!

True Monarch Ling Xiao’s mouth overflowed with blood, and his Primordial Spirit was in shock.

A touch of terror appeared in his eyes.

"How is this possible! How is this possible!"

The opponent was only at the mere Fifth Realm cultivation.

What exactly is this sword!

What are those blue-black currents exactly!

True Monarch Ling Xiao immediately formed hand seals, quickly flying backward.

As he retreated, he continuously cast spells, probing, trying to understand everything.

"Xu Ziqing" stood in place, not bothered to dodge.

Facing the many spells of True Monarch Ling Xiao, he didn’t even bother to swing his sword.

The Evil Qi surrounding him naturally devoured all those spells clean.

His demeanor was already quite obvious.

You’re so weak, why should I dodge?

What scared True Monarch Ling Xiao even more was that this young man’s aura started rising continually.

It seemed like the power within him was also growing stronger.

The Sword Spirit of the Evil Sword soon started to feel bored.

"Xu Ziqing" casually swung a sword in the direction of True Monarch Ling Xiao.

As the Sword Qi moved forward, True Monarch Ling Xiao immediately used the golden bell beside him to block.

Yet the next scene was identical to before.

The golden bell immediately turned to dust.

This old monster, who had lived for unknown how many years, hadn’t felt this desperate for at least several centuries.

Unsolvable! The existence before him seemed unsolvable!

The only thing he could hope for now was the ring he held in his hand.

Innate Supreme Treasure - Donghuang Ring!

As for the array patterns etched jointly by his master and martial uncle, those were specifically meant to strip the Night Venerable Fruit Position.

Now, since Chu Huaixu wasn’t involved, the array patterns directly lost their function.

True Monarch Ling Xiao took out a Profound Yellow Origin Fragment, integrating it into his forehead, using it to resist the Heavenly Dao pressure here.

Unfortunately, the Donghuang Ring was borrowed by the aged youth, intended purely as a medium to activate the array patterns.

He didn’t understand how this Innate Supreme Treasure should be used.

He also didn’t know its function.

He could only foolishly infuse his internal mana to activate it.

Next, he hesitated a moment.

Because in the next moment, purer mana surged back from within the ring, returning to nourish him!

It seemed to have refined the mana, elevating its quality!

This wonderful use, if under normal circumstances, would have made True Monarch Ling Xiao ecstatic.

Because the transformation it brought was terrifying.

Absolutely could elevate his composite strength by a level.

But now, it’s real combat.

His expression immediately turned more bitter than crying.

Perhaps, the Donghuang Ring had other magical uses.

Unfortunately, there simply wasn’t enough time to study them now.

"Damn! Damned!"

True Monarch Ling Xiao looked forward, his expression suddenly changing.

Because the young man was already nowhere to be seen!

"No! Behind me!"

He turned sharply, controlling the sun wheel behind him to block.

Under a single sword, the sun wheel shattered instantly, then was devoured by Evil Qi, turning to dust.

True Monarch Ling Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood violently, his Lifebound Magical Treasure was so fragile before the opponent?

The aftermath of the Sword Qi sent him flying, and the flesh on his lower abdomen was immediately consumed by Evil Qi, leaving a direct gap.

The young man flew forward again, his black hair blown backward, with more and more silver strands emerging.

The Sword Spirit of the Evil Sword had already had enough fun.

A single sword, just a single sword.

The first True Monarch of Kunlun Cave Heaven turned into a dried corpse immediately.

Even his Primordial Spirit was swallowed by Evil Qi!

"How...how could this be?" This was True Monarch Ling Xiao’s last thought.

....

....

"Hoo—!"

After a long time, the unconscious Xu Ziqing suddenly awoke.

The imprint in his palm emitted a golden light, sealing the Evil Sword again, assisting him to regain consciousness.

The young man looked around somewhat confusedly.

Then, in the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the white strands mixed within his black hair.

Xu Ziqing just glanced lightly, not caring much.

"Is it... over?" He was a bit surprised.

The strength of the Bronze Sword was indeed somewhat unsolvable.

As more restrictions were released, its terror began to gradually manifest.

Xu Ziqing walked forward, only seeing a pile of dust.

That was the flesh of True Monarch Ling Xiao transformed.

And among this pile of dust, he also saw three things.

A Profound Yellow Origin Fragment.

A black ring.

And a piece engraved with intricate array patterns...

—Human skin!
