The two sides were in a stalemate in the air.
Shen Qing looked at Lu Yuan and was shocked by rhe other party for the umpteenth time.
First, the other party dodged his attack with his Nascent Soul Stage cultivation.
Then, the other party could always sense his attacks at the first moment.
And now, in terms of strength, they were equally matched.
Was this guy really a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator? When did such a monster appear?
Compared to Lu Yuan, how could the Shen Qing back then be considered a genius?
The difference in talent between the two of them could be said to be heaven and earth.
One should know that rhe difference between rhe Nascent Soul Stage and the Apotheosis Stage was even greater than rhe difference between rhe Nascent Soul Stage and the Foundation Establishment Stage.
The biggest difference was the usage of Dao.
Shen Qing’s previous attacks may seem ordinary, but they were infused with his Dao.
Every attack was almost like a law, which was not something that ordinary spells and divine abilities could withstand at all.
Logically speaking, this sword of his should be able to directly break Lu Yuan’s immortal sword and kill the latter.
Yet, Lu Yuan managed to block it.
This could only mean that Lu Yuan s immortal sword also contained his own Dao.
Otherwise, he would most definitely not have been able to block his attack.
Thinking of this, Shen Qing felt even more that he could not let Lu Yuan off as he was now deeply jealous of the latter.
With Lu Yuan’s talent, the Apotheosis Stage was almost a certainty for him.
Even if such a person were to one day transcend the tribulation and become an immortal, Shen Qing would not be surprised.
Thinking about how a future immortal was about to die in his hands, Shen Qing’s expression became deranged. That feeling was indescribable.
However, just as Shen Qing was about to launch another attack to suppress and kill Lu Yuan, he suddenly realized that the latter’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
It was as if he felt that Shen Qing’s Apotheosis Stage power was far from what he had imagined.
Shen Qing was instantly enraged.
He thought of himself as a hunter, and Lu Yuan was his prey. The feeling of being looked down upon by his prey filled his heart with anger.
“Roar!11
Shen Qing roared angrily, and the devilization on his body intensified.
The blood-red eyes in rhe surrounding space also mutated further, turning into blood-red swords.
Then, under Shen Qing’s control, they flew toward Lu Yuan in unison.
Each of these devilish swords possessed the strength of an Apotheosis Stage cultivator, and any one of them could easily lull a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
However, just as these devilish swords were about to land on Lu Yuan, they suddenly stopped.
At the same time, Shen Qing suddenly felt a huge sense of oppression,
A blurry shadow appeared behind Lu Yuan.
The face of this figure was blurry, and it was impossible to tell who it was.
However, the pressure from this person made Shen Qing feel as if he was facing a real immortal.
Wasn’t Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol an immortal sword?
Shen Qing looked at the hundred-meter-tall giant behind Lu Yuan in fear, and such doubts arose in his heart.
At this moment, Lu Yuan was floating in the huge illusion as he calmly looked at Shen Qing in front of him.
The giant that suddenly appeared was naturally Lu Yuan s Dharma Idol.
To put it another way, it was the result of the evolution of his Dharma Power after he mastered the 72 Disha Swordsmanship.
That’s right. After Lu Yuan learned all Disha Swords, he discovered that his Lesser Celestial Eradication Sword Array had changed.
If he had to describe the change, it would be that the fusion of the Four Symbols Swords had become even closer.
Before this, he thought that the core of his Lesser Celestial Eradication Sword Array Dharma Idol was the four immortal swords.
But now, he knew that they were not the essence of his Dharma Idol at all. The four immortal swords were just a form displayed by Lu Yuan s Dharma Idol.
After completely learning the 72 Disha Swords, Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol turned from immortal swords into a faceless man.
He had a guess about the identity of this faceless man. The latter should be Sect Master Tongtian of the three righteous sects, based on the legends that claimed that the one who could operate the Celestial Eradication Sword Array was Sect Master Tongtian.
However, this Sect Master Tongtian should not be the real thing.
After all, a Dharma Idol was a reflection of a cultivator’s heart. It was an independent individual.
Therefore, Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol should be an existence similar to the Tongtian Sect Master, but not really him.
Even so, Lu Yuan’s Dharma Idol’s power was still many times stronger than it was a hundred years ago.
A hundred years ago, he was already confident that he could kill an Apotheosis Stage cultivator.
Now that his Dharma Idol had evolved, he disregarded ordinary Apotheosis Stage cultivators even more. This was also the reason why he did not make a move immediately earlier and chose to test Shen Qing’s strength instead.
He wanted to see how real Apotheosis Stage cultivators fought.
And Shen Qing’s performance greatly disappointed Lu Yuan.
This was because he felt that regardless of Shen Qing’s current cultivation level or the Dao he was proud of, the latter was vastly inferior to Jing Ming.
The feeling Jing Ming gave him back then was comparable to Mount Tai, one of the five great mountains.
The current “Jing Ming11 in front of him was just an ordinary small mountain.
Although they were both in the same realm, the difference was too great to be described with words.
Lu Yuan could tell the difference between Shen Qing and Jing Ming at a glance.
It was due to the level of comprehension of the Dao of both parties.
Although fusing one s body with the Dao sounded mysterious, in essence, it was simply a process of assimilating the cultivator’s body and divine soul by some kind of power of laws, making the cultivator passively absorb this power which was similar to the product of hormones.
In contrast, Jing Ming and the other real Apotheosis Stage cultivators relied on their own strength to cultivate their own Dao step by step.
Not only was their foundation more solid, but they also had absolute control over their Dao.
The Dao that Shen Qing displayed now was just superficial. In essence, he was not much different from an ordinary Half-Step Apotheosis Stage cultivator. They were simply foxes masquerading as tigers.
Lu Yuan was already cautious enough to have used his Dharma Idol to deal with Shen Qing.
At this moment, the devilish swords suspended in the air were naturally intimidated by the Dharma Idol and did not dare to take another step forward.
Under Shen Qing’s despairing gaze, Lu Yuan’s enormous Dharma Idol simply pointed at his glabella, and his body began to fall apart.
Even the surrounding blood-colored space collapsed completely, turning into countless light spots that scattered in the air.
Lu Yuan didn’t stop after doing all this. Instead, he looked at the Enlightenment Tree below.
The Enlightenment Tree, which had been contaminated by the power of the Outer Dao, immediately trembled in fear when it sensed Lu Yuan s gaze.
However, Lu Yuan was unmoved. With a tap of his Dharma Idol, the tree was also turned into part of the ashes that filled the sky.
As for rhe other Outer Dao sword slaves here…
Long ago when Lu Yuan and Shen Qing started fighting, they had all run off to God knows where.
After confirming that there was no danger in the surroundings, Lu Yuan used the Core Creation Technique to extract the cores of Shen Qing and the Enlightenment Tree.
Then, he tried his best to eliminate clues about his appearance and quickly left.
Two hours after Lu Yuan left, a figure suddenly appeared.
He looked down at the dried-up blood lake and the remaining half of the tree trunk in the middle of the lake. His expression was very confused.
He had clearly received news from the sect not long ago that a Dao-Fusing Cultivator in the Sword Slave Forbidden Area seemed to have awakened and he had been asked to come over to check.
If rhe other party became a devil, he was to kill the other party on the spot.
Yet, when he arrived at the designated location, he did not find the figure of the Dao-Fusing Cultivator anywhere, and the broken sword fragment in his hand also dimmed.
This could only mean that the Dao-Fusing Cultivator had already died.
He knew this because the broken sword fragment was the token left behind by the Dao-Fusing Cultivator in the sect.
Its purpose was to sense the existence of the Dao-Fusing Cultivator at the first possible moment, similar to the soul lamps of ordinary cultivators.
He was very sure that the broken sword fragment showed that the other party was still alive not long ago.
This could only mean that someone had encountered that Dao-Fusing Cultivator before him.
However, who was the one who had killed that Dao-Fusing Cultivator before him?
The Apotheosis Stage cultivator in the sky fell into deep thought..
