Killing God - Chapter 431
Chapter 431 Yukong Xing
Shen Shi lowered his head and remained silent for a moment. Then, he took out the fragment of the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword from his Ruyi bag.
That light, It was emitted from this broken sword, Perhaps it was because he had seen it once during the day, or perhaps it was some other reason that he did not know. In short, in this quiet night, when he came to the side of the Enlightenment Stone again, when the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword shone again, he felt that the power emitted from the sword seemed to be much warmer.
The illusion of devastating the heavens and destroying the earth did not appear again, nor did Enlightenment Stone show any signs of trembling or shattering. It was as if everything had calmed down a lot by nightfall.
Only the gentle light emitted from the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword illuminated Shen Shi’s face, and it also illuminated the large rock beside him that had gone through countless years of wind, frost, rain, and snow, but still stood alone.
The brilliance of the sword lightly landed on the surface of the Enlightenment Stone, refracting a beautiful and slightly strange halo. Shen Shi hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his other hand that didn’t hold the sword, probing towards this boulder. When his palm touched the Enlightenment Stone, Shen Shi felt a little nervous. Even he himself did not know what would happen next. Perhaps he was just curious in his heart.
However, the result seemed to be extremely calm, without any illusions, vibrations, or earth-shattering changes. Wu Zhenyan was still silent. Shen Shi frowned slightly. After letting out a sigh of relief, he was slightly disappointed. However, when he turned his head, he discovered that the light emitted by his injured Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword suddenly brightened up on the blade of the sword.
The white light gradually became somewhat blazing from its initial softness, and its brightness gradually increased. Not long after, Shen Shi discovered that he no longer seemed to be able to see the blade of the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword. The light had completely wrapped around the Remnant Sword. However, this light did not seem to harm his body or palm at all. He could not feel any pain or heat. However, when he looked at the light on the broken sword blankly, his heart suddenly jumped.
It was like a drum beating, like a palpitating sound. It was a sudden shock, causing his body to tremble as well.
At that moment, the heavens and earth seemed to distort. The boundless sea of clouds seemed to stir up waves. In the darkness of the sea of darkness, an undercurrent was flowing.
The wind was getting harder and harder.
Tao Sheng Yun extinguished.
In the sea of clouds on the majestic peak, countless layers of clouds began to slowly flow like thousands of soldiers and horses, like hundreds of rivers and seas. From all directions, strong winds howled in all directions, surging like tides. Waves after waves, waves after waves, they began to slowly smash towards the dangerous cliff where Enlightenment Stone was.
Shen Shi’s breathing started to quicken. It was as if an inexplicable but enormous power was slowly gathering in the void in front of him. He felt that he was actually so tiny, as if he was going to be shattered in the sea of clouds in the next moment.
However, Enlightenment Stone faced the darkness and the surging sea of clouds. It was still lofty and motionless, just like every day for millions of years. When the light on the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword shone brightly, it seemed as if it had finally been awakened again.
This large stone, which was ordinary and riddled with wounds, finally trembled slightly.
In an instant, Shen Shi suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes. The heavens and earth twisted once again. The illusion he had seen during the day suddenly reappeared. Strong winds, torrential rain, lightning, and thunder rang out. The heavens and earth roared like gods. In front of him, there was another figure who was facing the unimaginable might of heaven and earth.
This time, the figure seemed to be much clearer. It was as if it was standing not far from him, but its back was still facing him. Facing the storm and lightning that filled the sky, facing the roars and rumbles of the heavens and the earth, the lightning tore through the sky. Darkness opened its mouth and swarmed towards him. Only Wu Zhen Yan was standing at his feet, silently but incomparably resilient.
Suddenly, a blazing bolt of lightning flashed and the heavens and earth shook. In that wild light, Shen Shi suddenly saw the figure of the man with his back facing him. He was holding a sword tightly in his hand.
An ancient and silent sword …
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a silent thunder rang out from the depths of his heart, instantly shaking Shen Shi to the ground. He snorted softly and revealed a painful expression on his face. He staggered back, and he could not help but sit on the ground. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood. When his palm left the Enlightenment Stone, that illusion was immediately annihilated.
Everything instantly returned to its original state before his eyes. The heavens and earth, the sea of clouds, the boulders, and the night wind blew by slowly. The night was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.
It was as if it was just a dream.

Shen Shi felt his entire body tremble with blood and qi, and he was about to vomit with disgust. This was a feeling he had never felt since he cultivated. All the Qi channels and meridians in his body seemed to be completely enveloped by a strange force at this moment. There was an illusion that he was trembling endlessly with giggling sounds.
Fortunately, with the dissipation of the illusion, this strange power quickly disappeared. His body gradually recovered. After taking a long breath, he slowly stood up.
Everything in front of him, Wu Zhenyan and the sea of clouds in the sky, all looked so calm, as if nothing had happened. However, when Shen Shi lowered his head, he could still see the mouthful of blood he had just spat out through the faint light.
After a moment of silence, he knew that his cultivation was still too low. He was afraid that he would not be able to withstand the power stimulated by the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword in the Enlightenment Stone, so he did not dare to continue trying. However, in his mind, the illusion of the man facing the heavens gave him too deep an impression, making him unable to forget it.
Was that person Yuan Wentian, the leader of the Six Saints?
Could the sword in his hand be the legendary Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword?
However, Shen Shi immediately thought for a moment, but he was somewhat puzzled. The Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword fragment in his hand came from the Soul Suppressing Abyss in Mount Gao Ling. It was arranged by the Primordial Yin Dragon to deal with ancient ghosts and ghosts. Based on what he heard on that day, it seemed to be at least several hundred thousand years old or even longer. The era of Yuan Wentian was clearly only 10,000 years ago.
Between the two, it seemed like I was sorry.
However, if it wasn’t for the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword, why would Enlightenment Stone echo the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword?
Could it be that that illusion was really just an illusion that could seduce people’s hearts, that it did not exist in the world at all, or that behind the history that had been obliterated in the river of time, there was a mysterious reason that he was unable to understand?
Shen Shi felt as if his head was about to explode. Thousands of things were in a mess. After he gritted his teeth, he didn’t dare to think any further and shook his head fiercely. He thought to himself that there must be a reason why Sages were saints in the past. There must be a subtle place that mortals like him couldn’t understand.
With this thought, Shen Shi immediately felt much more relaxed. Although even he himself felt that this thought was somewhat funny and evasive, this matter was too strange, so he shouldn’t think too much about it. Taking a deep breath, he pondered for a moment before preparing to turn around and leave. There was something strange about the Enlightenment Stone, so it was better not to stay for too long.
However, when he turned his head, his gaze suddenly narrowed. A look of astonishment flashed through his eyes. At this moment, the sky and sea of clouds had calmed down. However, for some reason, the fragment of the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword in his hand still had no intention of stopping.
Although the white light was slightly weaker, it was still shining brightly. At the same time, the radiance of the sword light seemed to no longer shine towards the Enlightenment Stone in front of him. Instead, it tilted slightly towards the vast sea of clouds outside the dangerous cliff and towards the seemingly endless night.
The white light swallowed and flickered, as if it was pointing in a certain direction.
Shen Shi’s heart skipped a beat. He tried to raise the broken sword a little higher. As expected, the light on the sword changed slightly with his movements.
Shen Shi was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he took a few steps forward and arrived in front of Enlightenment Stone. Then, he gripped the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword tightly and waved his arm towards the void outside the dangerous cliff. He began to slowly change his position, and his pair of eyes stared fixedly at the strange light on the remnant sword.
The sword light was like a candle flame, as if it was blown by the wind. As his arm moved, the light quietly changed, undulating, but no matter what, the light stubbornly pointed in a certain direction, never changing.
Shen Shi put down the broken sword and raised his eyes to look. In that direction was the depths of the sea of clouds in the void. It was endless darkness. He could not see anything clearly, nor could he see anything.
He stared at it for a long time, but found nothing. He shook his head and was about to give up when suddenly, in the corner of his eyes, he saw a faint light flashing across the depths of the darkness.
It was very light, very thin, as if there was some sort of light that flashed through the depths of the night and disappeared.
Shen Shi’s body instantly stopped. When he looked there again, he discovered that everything was exactly the same as before. When he lowered his head to look at the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword, he discovered that the light on the sword had begun to gradually weaken.
It was as if the brilliance on the broken sword had also reached the point of exhaustion.
Shen Shi was silent for a moment before he suddenly raised his head. In the night breeze, facing the dangerous cliff, his breathing was a little excited and a little anxious, but his eyes were filled with anticipation and desire. Without any hesitation, he clenched his teeth, flipped his hand, and a ray of light flashed past. He took out a bright and flickering short sword from his Ruyi bag.
Snow Pouring Sword.
During the half a month before coming to Yuanshi Sect, he had spent most of his time cultivating and controlling this spirit sword. Now, he could be said to have mastered the Imperial Sword Technique. At this moment, he stared fixedly at the place in the distance where there seemed to have been a flash of light. He felt the summoning power faintly discernible in the Immortal Slaying Remnant Sword in his hand. After taking a deep breath, he raised the Snow Pouring Sword and took a step forward.
The sword light was bright and slowly rose, carrying his body. In this night, under the strong wind, his clothes were dancing wildly. Suddenly, there was a sharp howl, and the heavens and earth seemed to echo. Then, it turned into a ball of white light and instantly pierced through the sky, heading straight into the distance.
On the dangerous cliff, everything calmed down again. Everything returned to silence. Only the big rock still stood in the shadow of darkness, silently facing the sky outside, quietly looking at the white sword light flying away from behind.
