Chapter 111 - 99: Subduing the Chaos Sword Embryo, Everyone Stands Dumbfounded

Chapter 111: Chapter 99: Subduing the Chaos Sword Embryo, Everyone Stands Dumbfounded

When Jiang Hao finally stood before the Chaos Sword Embryo, the space above the entire mountain range fell into a deathly silence. The stillness was so profound that one could hear a pin drop; the crowd was entirely mute.

"How is this possible?"

"The sword embryo didn’t attack him? How could this be?"

Countless cultivators were dumbfounded. Leng Tianyu had used earth-shattering methods but only managed to advance five hundred steps. Yet, that figure effortlessly stood right beside the Chaos Sword Embryo.

However, at this moment, the Chaos Sword Embryo was vibrating madly, emitting endless sword chimes. As if sensing some entity, the sword spirit within the embryo momentarily forgot to counterattack.

Looking at the wildly vibrating sword embryo and feeling the faintly discernible, world-shocking sword might within it, Jiang Hao’s breathing grew extremely rapid. His heart was in his throat.

Being able to walk right up to the Chaos Sword Embryo proved that his guess was right. The origin of the Chaos Sword Embryo was definitely extraordinary, but the Chaos Cyan Lotus within his body was even more terrifying.

Trying hard to calm his mind and control his breathing, Jiang Hao slowly reached out his hand under the watchful eyes of the crowd, gingerly grasping the hilt.

Everyone watching this scene held their breath, though storms of shock were already surging in their eyes. When that white-robed figure finally gripped the sword embryo, everyone’s expressions instantly changed.

"How could this happen?"

"What did he do? Why doesn’t the sword embryo show any intention of rejecting him?"

"This is unreal. It’s simply impossible!"

What exactly had that figure done? Why was he able to grasp the hilt of the Chaos Sword Embryo? He seemed to have done something, yet also nothing at all. He just effortlessly took hold of it.

Why him?

Even Leng Tianyu’s eyes rippled with boundless indignation and jealousy.

However, just as everyone was stupefied, a sudden, shocking change occurred.

The Chaos Sword Embryo seemed to snap back to its senses. It trembled violently as a tidal wave of Chaos Qi surged out. Jiang Hao’s grip was almost instantly broken. Not only that, but an extremely terrifying sword might poured out, sweeping toward Jiang Hao. If he were struck by this sword might, without a doubt, not even ashes would remain of him.

But at the exact moment the sword embryo unleashed its might...

BOOM!!!

Within Jiang Hao’s body, a cyan lotus planted in chaos radiated a towering green light. It vibrated madly, and as its body swayed, it scattered waves of even more terrifying Chaos Qi. The Chaos Qi abruptly burst out of Jiang Hao’s body, suppressing the sword embryo like a maddened beast.

Only at this moment did Jiang Hao realize with astonishment that the seemingly harmless Chaos Qi contained an extremely horrifying power. The instant the cyan lotus’s Chaos Qi appeared, the sword embryo’s impending sword might was forced back in the blink of an eye. However, the two streams of Chaos Qi erupted madly, as if competing for supremacy.

"They really are Chaos Qi of the same lineage!" Jiang Hao was instantly overjoyed. His hand gripping the sword embryo tightened instinctively, afraid that if he let go, it would escape.

In less than half a second, the entire Spirit Peak Summit was swallowed and covered by monstrous Chaos Qi—a truly shocking spectacle. Yet, this overwhelming eruption of Chaos Qi was mistaken by everyone as originating solely from the sword embryo itself. Because the two types of Chaos Qi were identical, the moment the chaos within Jiang Hao erupted, the entire Spirit Peak Summit had already been submerged in it. This created the illusion that the sky full of chaos was entirely caused by the main body of the sword embryo.

"The sword embryo is enraged!"

"That kid is dead for sure."

"Such terrifying power! Is it contained within that Chaos Qi?"

Some cultivators sensed that the Chaos Qi currently released by the sword embryo contained an extremely terrifying power, one even more intimidating than the previous sword might.

But...

Under the crushing weight of that terrifying Chaos Qi, the white-robed figure remained completely unharmed, still gripping the hilt tightly! Little did they know, what was protecting Jiang Hao right now was the cyan lotus within his body. Otherwise, he would have long been pulverized into a bloody mist by the sword embryo’s Chaos Power.

Even so, caught in the clash between the two chaotic forces, Jiang Hao still suffered a considerable impact. The backlash made him suffer unspeakably, forcing him to channel some of his Spiritual Power to resist.

"Ah!!!"

The pain from the surging, boundless Chaos Power made Jiang Hao roar. Instinctively, he forcefully pulled the sword embryo up, raising it high above his head.

RUMBLE, RUMBLE, RUMBLE!!!

In an instant, the Chaos Sword Embryo trembled frantically, releasing even more dreadful Chaos Qi as if resisting the cyan lotus. However, in the eyes of the crowd, this scene looked like the figure was frantically trying to subdue the sword embryo.

"Heavens!"

"How is this possible?"

"He... he...?"

He was actually subduing the Sword of Chaos!

Everyone turned pale with shock, standing as if struck by lightning, their eyes brimming with disbelief. Ji Qingxue and the others took a step forward, a billion roaring thunderbolts seemingly flashing in their eyes.

"Impossible... Impossible! How could he possibly have the ability to subdue this sword?" Ji Wufeng gasped for air, his composure crumbling.

It was obvious—this was an opportunity not even Leng Tianyu possessed. Yet, a mere Second Transformation Spirit Realm cultivator was staging such an earth-shattering spectacle!

Time ticked by, second by second. One quarter of an hour. Two quarters of an hour.

Two quarters of an hour later, countless cultivators could no longer remain calm. The shock in their hearts had reached a point beyond measure.

"Could it really be subdued?"

"Absolutely impossible! It’s absolutely impossible!"

"Who is this person? There’s something fishy about him."

Many cultivators had begun to spot the clues. They realized this person likely possessed secret techniques to subdue the sword, rather than relying solely on cultivation suppression.
