Soul Emperor Martial God

Chapter 1489: Chapter 1489: Star-cutting Sword

In front of the Star-cutting Sword Stele.

Elder Yun Yuan and another elder glanced at Lin Xiao and the other two in the distance.

The three of them were supreme sword cultivators; similarly, their comprehension of the Sword Stele here was not very effective.

Of course, there was the potential for referencing effects.

But among them, the Qi Sect Master and the Artifact Sect’s Old Sect Leader, being the sect masters of the two major sects within the Sword Domain.

In their youth, they must have also represented their own sects, comprehended the Sword Emperor Stele.

As for Lin Xiao, the Lin Family, being the guardian family of the Sword Emperor Stele, had obviously comprehended it multiple times.

Naturally, the three did not comprehend the Sword Stele here, they simply looked at their disciples and elders comprehending the Sword Stele here.

The three stood with hands behind their backs, their eyes all focused on the Sword Stele on Xiao Yi’s side.

As the first sword cultivator among the comprehenders to successfully comprehend, Xiao Yi naturally caught attention first.

At the same time, Elder Yun Yuan and the other elder noticed the triumphant smile of the Qi Sect Master.

”Trouble.” Elder Yun Yuan’s expression suddenly changed.

”If I remember correctly, when we comprehended the Sword Stele back then, after successfully comprehending the Sword Dao, we encountered...”

Hui Deacon nodded.

Elder Yun Yuan’s expression suddenly turned a bit ugly, ”Doesn’t that mean this little thief he is about to...”

”Trouble...”

Hui Deacon shook his head, ”Our worrying is useless, this is his own comprehension.”

”And, how few miracles has this little thief created?”

”I believe in him; this Sword Stele won’t stop him.”

”Indeed.” Elder Yun Yuan nodded solemnly.

In the distance, Lin Xiao and the other two stood with hands behind their backs.

The Qi Sect Master chuckled triumphantly, ”This little thief, the first to successfully comprehend, but he must also be the quickest to be stopped.”

”Qi Sect Master, feeling proud?” Lin Xiao glanced at the Qi Sect Master.

Lin Xiao suddenly smiled, ”I heard from Zifeng that his Senior Brother Xiao Yi always surprises, always delights.”

”Perhaps, Senior Zhanxing won’t be able to stop him.”

”Let’s wait and see then.” The Qi Sect Master shrugged, smiling triumphantly.

...

In the pitch-black space.

Xiao Yi smiled confidently.

The surrounding darkness gradually and rapidly dissipated.

Ahead, the light began to intensify.

He now understood, no wonder he had to pursue those swiftly moving Sword Dao powers.

Those moving Sword Dao powers were the existence guiding the exit from this pitch-black space.

The more successful the comprehension, the faster the Sword Dao moves, increasing the difficulty.

If comprehension fails midway, or if unable to keep up with these Sword Dao movements, then the comprehender will never be able to leave this pitch-black space.

This also means comprehension failure.

If the comprehender successfully comprehends all ten levels, it means comprehension success, and they will leave this pitch-black space.

By the way, comprehension doesn’t mean mastery.

Now, although Xiao Yi successfully comprehended all ten levels of the Star-cutting Sword Dao.

But to master it, he needs to leave here, absorb the Heaven and Earth power belonging to the Star-cutting Sword Dao into his Small World, reaching ten levels to be considered complete mastery.

Now, Xiao Yi has only thoroughly comprehended, thoroughly understood the mysteries of the Star-cutting Sword Dao.

And within his body, there is no hint of the Star-cutting Sword Dao’s power or might.

Another point is that the Star-cutting Sword Dao, being a top sword Dao; if wanting to absorb Heaven and Earth power into his Small World to fuse and integrate it into his Sword Dao, it would be exceptionally troublesome.

Back then, he stagnated in cultivation at the Heavenly Extreme Realm because he attempted to fuse various top martial arts.

However, the Heaven and Earth powers of the Star-cutting Sword Dao don’t matter if he does not absorb them.

After all, he does not cultivate the Star-cutting Sword Dao.

His purpose of coming here to comprehend the Sword Stele is to comprehend the Sword Dao Knowledge here, thereby enhancing his Sword Dao.

The essence of comprehension, the greatest reward, should be enhancing one’s own Sword Dao.

Rather than cultivating others’ Sword Dao.

At this point, the surrounding darkness had completely dissipated.

Before him, everything was bright.

Surrounding him seemed like another world.

Xiao Yi paused, then steadied himself; suddenly, an elder appeared in front of him.

The elder stood with hands behind his back, smiling, directly watching Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi’s expression suddenly changed.

In his eyes, the elder before him seemed ordinary, just a regular elder.

But in his perception, the elder was akin to a vast ocean, unfathomable and astonishingly overwhelming.

”Senior?” Xiao Yi steadied his mind, then asked respectfully.

Xiao Yi wasn’t worried about any danger, after all, this was in the midst of comprehending during the Sword Domain grand event.

Clang...

The elder smiled, lifted his fingertips lightly.

Beside him, a star-lit sharp sword clanged continuously.

”You successfully comprehended this old man’s Star-cutting Sword Dao, and still ask who this old man is?” The elder chuckled.

Xiao Yi suddenly realized, ”May I ask for senior’s name?”

Undoubtedly, the elder before him was the owner of the Sword Stele.

However, the Sword Stele did not have any life records or documentation of this senior.

The elder shook his head, ”My name is not important.”

Clang...

The star-lit sharp sword beside him instantly came to the elder’s hand.

”I fear I have been dead for countless years now.”

”And able to leave a trace of residual thought is thanks to this sword.”

”Today, the one fighting you is my Sword Dao and this sword.”

”So, what you should ask is the name of this sword.”

Xiao Yi paused, then nodded.

He naturally knew the elder before him wasn’t real, just a trace of residual thought.

For a strong martial artist with Heavenly cultivation, leaving a trace of residual thought is not difficult.

Only, within this trace of residual thought, there will not be any powers nor any memories.

The power truly sustaining this trace of residual thought should be this Sword Stele, and this sword in the elder’s hand.

”Are you ready?” The elder asked calmly.

Xiao Yi nodded.

If he was guessed correctly, the next step was to fight against the elder.

”Very well.” The elder nodded, his aura suddenly changed.

The originally ordinary body suddenly exuded Sword Qi soaring to the heavens.

The immense aura seemed like a sword capable of piercing the sky shackles, cutting through the heavens and stars.

”This sword is called Star-cutting.”

”In life, with this sword, I eradicated scoundrels, ran rampant across the universe, hardly defeated.”

”To be defeated by this sword is your privilege.”

Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, similarly exuding boundless Sword Intent.

Clang...

The Cold Flame Sword in his hand appeared out of thin air.

”Senior, it’s too soon to say.”

”Perhaps it’s you who’ll be defeated by me, Star-cutting defeated by Cold Flame.”

”Little thief, you’re bold.” The elder smiled arrogantly, ”Make your move.”

”Senior, apologies.” Xiao Yi said, wielding his sword to attack.

Cold White Sword Light flashed past.

Like a swift rainbow, it directly targeted the elder’s throat.

The elder remained unfazed, holding the Star-cutting Sword, gently slashing it.

Chh...

The Cold White Sword Light instantly dissipated.

Xiao Yi’s expression slightly changed, only to feel tectonic giant force surging, instantly repelling him dozens of steps.

...

Third update.
