The situation was almost entirely one-sided.

Under the powerful Sword Qi of Xiao Wuchen, the number one of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the disciples of Taixu Gate practically had no way to counter.

Even Linghu Xiao was no match at all.

With just a few sword strokes, Xiao Wuchen completely suppressed Linghu Xiao.

Every strike was ancient and grand, naturally formed, encompassing a charm that subtly resonated with the Heavenly Dao and blended into the void.

Every strike carried an imposing Sword Qi formed from concentrated Spiritual Power.

Every strike required Linghu Xiao to exert full effort.

With each slash from Xiao Wuchen, Linghu Xiao retreated a step.

In his white Taoist robe with Sword Pattern, Xiao Wuchen’s expression was handsome yet indifferent, his posture upright and elegant.

And Linghu Xiao, upon whom hopes were pinned, a once-in-five-hundred-years prodigy of Chongxu, could only grit his teeth and struggle bitterly, a scene of utter disarray.

No longer did he resemble his previous self, sweeping with Sword Qi and slaying enemies on all sides.

At this moment, everyone finally understood directly.

What truly defines a prodigy?

What truly defines a Sword Dao genius?

Reputation might have truth and falsehood.

But the sword does not lie.

As soon as they clashed, the strengths and weaknesses were immediately apparent.

Looking at Linghu Xiao’s pathetic appearance, everyone felt a bit of regretful sighs within, but there was not much mockery or gloating.

They knew that Linghu Xiao was already strong enough.

In the previous Sword Discussion, he had already demonstrated his strength.

It’s just that Xiao Wuchen was stronger.

The Four Great Sects are, after all, the Four Great Sects.

The first disciple of the Four Sects’ Sword Dao, Xiao Wuchen of the Heavenly Sword Sect, was a figure above the clouds.

And the geniuses of the Eight Great Gates, no matter how strong they were, were only standing on the mountain peak.

Such is the Sword Dao.

In terms of cultivation, Xiao Wuchen was also a notch higher.

Xiao Wuchen was at the Foundation Establishment Peak.

While Linghu Xiao was only slightly stronger than an average Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Strictly speaking, the Foundation Establishment Realm only divides into three stages: low, middle, and high. Afterward, upon breakthrough, one reaches Golden Core.

But forming the Golden Core is exceedingly difficult.

Most Foundation Building Cultivators, unless exceptionally lucky, will be stuck before reaching Golden Core for a period.

This period could be as short as a year, or as long as decades or even a century.

There are many who are stuck for a lifetime.

Thus, between Foundation Establishment Late Stage and Golden Core, there exists a phase unique to each but generally long-lasting.

During this period, cultivators continue cultivation, Spiritual Power gradually strengthens and solidifies, until a solid foundation is formed, presenting a chance to break through to Golden Core...

Or one may have already attempted to break through to Golden Core but failed.

Or one’s own Magical Treasure embryo might have formed, but the Golden Core has yet to result...

These stages combined are referred to as Foundation Establishment Peak.

It signifies above Foundation Establishment, yet not full Golden Core.

Xiao Wuchen was at this realm, while Linghu Xiao was not.

Therefore, there was a distinct disparity in cultivation, intensifying his disadvantage in Sword Dao.

In the Sword Discussion arena, Linghu Xiao couldn’t match Xiao Wuchen, his movements full of embarrassment.

The situation was worse for others.

The Heavenly Sword Sect’s team was one of the top teams in the Sword Discussion Conference. Besides Xiao Wuchen, the other four disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect were also not weak.

The strength of these four, compared to Linghu Xiao, may be slightly inferior.

Compared to Ouyang Xuan, they were stronger.

Compared to Cheng Mo and Situ Jian, they were much stronger.

This was a complete crushing in terms of ”hard power” from the sect disciples.

Thus, under the terrifying sweep of Sword Qi from the five of the Heavenly Sword Sect, everyone from Taixu Gate was struggling to cope, finding it exceedingly difficult.

Mo Hua’s situation was no better.

His teammates were thoroughly suppressed, and his spells didn’t work effectively.

He could only rely on his movement technique to ”survive” under the swords of the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

But this ”survival” was meaningless.

The situation was clear.

Taixu Gate was sliding towards defeat step by step.

There were some spectators hoping for some ”miracle,” hoping someone could turn the tide and change the course.

Unfortunately, no miracle occurred.

The weak will lose.

Linghu Xiao was the first to be defeated.

He struggled desperately under Xiao Wuchen’s sword, seeking a breakthrough, but ultimately, he failed to turn the tide.

Under the double disparity of cultivation and Sword Dao, Linghu Xiao fought until exhaustion, in the end met with a cold slash from Xiao Wuchen, ending him. .

Linghu Xiao died under Xiao Wuchen’s sword.

The situation immediately deteriorated.

Others began to exhaust themselves, one after another falling...

The cultivators watching fell into silence.

Many faces saw their expectations fade, replaced with expressions of disappointment.

The original belief was that it would be a fierce match of prodigies clashing, lightning and fire meeting, confronting with might.

Even if one team was destined to lose, it should surely deliver a splendid duel of prodigies.

The Sword Dao geniuses of Heavenly Sword Sect and Taixu Gate would have a ”Pinnacle Duel.”

But the outcome was a huge disappointment.

Taixu Gate lost too thoroughly, from start to finish, with almost no suspense.

Linghu Xiao had no way at all to compare with Xiao Wuchen, the number one of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Not to mention Mo Hua.

At this time, some began to gloat:

”Is Taixu Gate, the result of Three Sects Unification, just this?”

”It’s laughable that three ’Eight Great Gates’-level sects combined together can’t beat even one sect from Heavenly Sword Sect...”

”Three Sects Unification resulted in nothing but loneliness.”

”On the other hand, they reached this stage because of their unification. If not unified, they would undoubtedly be weaker...”

”The disparity is indeed too great, simply overwhelming...”

”Wasted expectations...”

”Meaningless...”
