Chapter 185: Chapter 133: Invincible Stance, Sweeping the Celestial Sword

Winning through realm suppression was not terrifying. What was truly terrifying was a localized, higher-dimensional crushing between those in the exact same realm.

This situation proved one thing: the opponent’s talent and potential were utterly terrifying, having long since surpassed Cultivators of the same level. Repelling dozens of people with a single strike meant he was a truly frightening existence.

"So strong!"

This was the assessment of the Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Celestial Sword Sect. From just one sword strike, they had discerned some clues.

Atop the Spirit Peak Summits, the young, imposing figures all bore solemn expressions, feeling a profound sense of pressure. The aura that figure projected was strong—very strong. It was strong to an abnormal degree.

"Could he be in the Mortal Transformation Realm with both his Eight Meridians and Spine having reached beyond the eighth transformation?" a Celestial Sword Sect Elder muttered to himself, suddenly sensing that things were taking a disastrous turn.

In the next moment, another Elder immediately shouted, a trace of panic flashing through his eyes. "Take him down! All disciples at or above the Mortal Transformation Realm, hear my command! Take this person down! We absolutely cannot let him walk out of our Celestial Sword Sect’s Sect Protection Array!"

If they allowed the trespasser to enter and escape unscathed, the Celestial Sword Sect would lose all face.

However, this Elder’s status was clearly not very high. At the very least, he did not have the authority to mobilize the Saint Sons and Saintesses standing atop the various Spirit Peak Summits. These core sect disciples held statuses no lower than some Elders. In fact, certain Saint Sons and Saintesses could only be commanded by the respective Peak Masters or Supreme Elders. Therefore, the order this Elder conveyed was only directed at the ordinary disciples who had stepped into the Mortal Transformation Realm.

Just as Nanling had the Dragon Transformation Pool, the Celestial Sword Sect inevitably possessed similar methods to help its Cultivators undergo mortal transformation.

As the Celestial Sword Sect Elder issued his commands, the countless Cultivators spectating from afar were shocked to the extreme.

"They are all prodigies who have just stepped into the Mortal Transformation Realm. How can the gap between them be so vast?" a Cultivator blurted out subconsciously, stunned by the scene.

A knowledgeable Cultivator immediately explained, "The Mortal Transformation Realm is not exactly the same for everyone. When Cultivators with different talents and potentials undergo their transformation, their ultimate standing naturally differs.

"Some undergo a regular peerless prodigy’s mortal transformation, only completing the Nine Spirit Transformations by cultivating their Eight Meridians and Spine to the first transformation.

"Others undergo a peerless monster’s transformation, able to reach the second or third transformation for their Eight Meridians and Spine.

"Above that are the peerless monsters among peerless monsters, who can achieve the fourth transformation or higher for both their Eight Meridians and Spine.

"Going even higher, those who reach the sixth transformation for their Eight Meridians can be called peerless freaks.

"And when someone reaches the eighth transformation for both their Eight Meridians and Spine, yet still manages to take another step forward, they are the peerless freaks among peerless freaks!"

For example, the five figures currently standing in the void outside the Celestial Sword Sect, watching the battle unfold—Ice Race Saint Son Leng Tianyu, Wind Race Saint Son Feng Wuya, Yuhua Saintess Feng Yuechan, Baili Tusu of the Longevity Family, and Hua Yazi of Hundred Flowers Valley—were known as the Five Children of Nanling.

These five were all Mortal Transformation Realm experts who had cultivated their Eight Meridians and Spine to the eighth transformation before stepping into the ninth transformation for multiple meridians. They were undisputed once-in-an-era freaks among peerless freaks.

As for the three Children of the Celestial Dragon in Nanling—Huang Ling’Er, Divine Jian, and the Exiled Immortal Fairy—they were true overlords in the battle for supremacy among prodigies. They were genuine, world-shaking freaks, supreme figures who represented the absolute pinnacle of the younger generation.

Once those words were spoken, a dead silence fell over the periphery of the Celestial Sword Sect.

"According to that, could that young man be an existence who stepped into the Mortal Transformation Realm after cultivating both his Eight Meridians and Spine to the seventh or eighth transformation?"

Reaching the seventh or eighth transformation for both the Eight Meridians and Spine... Such a terrifying prodigy would absolutely be second to none, even in the Eastern Domain.

However, just as the first speaker finished, another elderly voice rang out.

"His terrifying power goes far beyond that. He hasn’t even gone all out yet. Moreover, there is a very strange aura fluctuation on this child’s body. What exactly is it?"

"I sensed it too, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. It’s a very unfamiliar fluctuation. Even leaving that fluctuation aside, his sword strike just now absolutely surpassed the realm of stepping into Mortal Transformation after reaching the eighth transformation for both the Eight Meridians and Spine."

RUMBLE!!!

Upon hearing this, the figures from various factions who had rushed from the Eastern Domain to spectate all turned pale, a trace of profound shock flashing across their faces.

Surpassing the eighth transformation for both the Eight Meridians and the Spine simultaneously? Didn’t that mean he was a once-in-an-era Mortal Transformation freak who had stepped into the ninth transformation for at least one meridian, or perhaps even multiple meridians?!

At this moment, it was as if the holy war at the Peak of the Firmament had lost its color. Everyone’s attention was drawn to the white-robed young man.

Meanwhile, inside the Celestial Sword Sect.

"Kill him!"

BOOM! RUMBLE!!!

Spurred on by the Sect Elders’ commands, the prospect of becoming Holy Court seat disciples, and the temptation of the Imperial Extreme Technique and the Chaos Sword Embryo—under this fourfold motivation, countless Celestial Sword Sect disciples in the Mortal Transformation Realm shot into the sky.

In an instant, wherever Jiang Hao looked, enemies were swarming in from all directions. The sheer spectacle of the scene was an eye-opening experience for countless Cultivators.

Outside the Celestial Sword Sect.

"Kid, fight to your heart’s content! Unleash all of your combat potential! The strong need to be tempered. Let these little ones serve as your whetstone this once," White-robed Divine King Jiang Renfeng said indifferently, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Just fight without holding back. If anything happens, your master will cover for you. The dignified South Mountain Sword Saint’s reputation isn’t just for show."

When Jiang Renfeng finished speaking, Yan Nantian couldn’t help but shoot a glance at this frivolous Divine King and curled his lip. "If I had known he was Senior’s descendant, I wouldn’t have taken him as a disciple even if you beat me to death."

"It’s too late for that. You have to take this disciple whether you want him or not," Jiang Renfeng said, his smile growing even more radiant.

Inside the Celestial Sword Sect.

Jiang Hao heard their voices and gave a helpless smile, though he indeed felt much more unrestrained now.

"Then let this battle help me find my father’s whereabouts."

BOOM!!!

With those words, the white-robed young man instantly charged forward, sword in hand, his entire being erupting with endless, terrifying sword might.

Every subsequent strike unleashed ten thousand fathoms of Sword Qi, draining the color from heaven and earth and dulling the light of the sun and moon. The Supreme Sword Qi swept toward the overwhelming tide of Celestial Sword Sect’s Mortal Transformation Realm Cultivators. Wherever it passed, it was like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, instantly clearing out massive swathes of enemies.

BOOM!

"AHHHH!!!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!!!

The Sword Qi was like an infinite ocean wave, slashing vastly toward the sky full of powerful enemies. The proud prodigies of the Celestial Sword Sect were as fragile as clay dolls before those breathtaking streams of Sword Qi, utterly incapable of withstanding a single blow.

Even the slightly stronger peerless prodigies among them were sent stumbling backward.

Jiang Hao carved his way into the endless sea of chosen sons and daughters like a descending God of War. With every swing of his blade, he sent throngs of enemies flying.

For a time, Sword Qi ran rampant throughout the Celestial Sword Sect. The defenders were thrown into utter chaos, the scene truly astonishing to behold.

The countless Cultivators watching this were absolutely dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

Those Celestial Sword Sect disciples who were unqualified to join the battle were petrified on the spot, their eyes brimming with disbelief. After all, the senior brothers and sisters who had taken action were the true elites of the sect. Any random one pulled from the crowd was an unfathomably terrifying existence.

Yet, before that white-robed figure, they seemed like absolutely nothing.

"Impossible... Impossible! How is this possible?"

Even the countless Sect Elders were stunned, tremendous waves of shock surging in their eyes.

BOOM!!!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!

As the white-robed young man fought faster and faster, incessant wails echoed across the skies of the Celestial Sword Sect. The countless powerful figures from the Eastern Domain watching from afar were utterly flabbergasted.

But the most shocked were undoubtedly the chosen prodigies currently engaged in the battle. Only when directly facing those streams of Sword Qi did they truly feel the horror and terror hidden within.

"Heavens! What kind of power is this?!"

"He is a Mortal Transformation existence who has achieved the ninth transformation in multiple meridians! He reached multiple ninth transformations!"

"No! His Eight Meridians and Spine are all at the ninth transformation! He only stepped into the Mortal Transformation Realm after reaching the ninth transformation!"

"Perhaps it’s even more than that!"

"What did you say?!"

BOOM!!!

Just as the expressions of countless prodigies drastically changed, the terrifying Sword Qi swept over them, instantly inflicting severe injuries on massive numbers and rendering them incapable of fighting.

This scene shook the entire Eastern Domain.

Endless imposing figures gazed at that patch of heaven and earth from afar, their breathing gradually growing ragged.

Not only that, but even the supreme titans battling at the Peak of the Firmament noticed the changes below, their expressions shifting drastically.

Meanwhile, atop the countless Spirit Peak Summits.

The Saint Sons and Saintesses of the Celestial Sword Sect couldn’t help but take a step forward. The complexity and shock in their eyes were already beyond description.
