Even though his cultivation was suppressed to the same level as mine, he only released his Sword Soul when I had already activated my sword domain. As expected of an Immortal King expert, he sure is confident.
Then show me the gap between an Immortal King and me.
Qin Chuan circulated his cultivation technique, adjusting his state of mind to its peak. Then, he controlled the sword’s energy to pour towards Lan Lang.
The sword energy had extremely strong destructive power and penetrative power. If an ordinary Mahayana cultivator did not put in the effort to block them, they would most likely suffer considerable injury.
Besides, the amount of sword energy he had was almost limitless, enough to kill an immortal.
Lan Lang was an Immortal King and had seen too many geniuses of the sword; his combat experience was far greater than Qin Chuan’s.
From the beginning of the fight until now, he had been controlling the situation and knew how much strength he could exert to defeat Qin Chuan.
Although Qin Chuan had activated his sword domain and was powerful enough to slay an immortal, to Lan Lang, he was still within his control.
Faced with Qin Chuan’s powerful attack, Lan Lang controlled the several thousand strands of sword energy around him and calmly met the attack head-on.
From afar, Qin Chuan’s boundless sword energy resembled a giant dragon, while Lan Lang’s resembled a long spear.
Could the spear kill the dragon?
‘The answer was soon revealed.
Boom!
The two attacks collided.
In an instant, a hole appeared in the seemingly mighty and boundless sword energy.
“I’s that high-frequency vibration again. It dissipated my sword energy in an instant after the collision,” said Qin Chuan with a focused look on his face. He was well aware of the cause of the hole.
“However, there’s an endless supply of sword energy in my sword domain, Can you dissipate everything?”
Just as Qin Chuan had said, the hole was quickly filled up.
Lan Lang’s sword energy was enveloped by Qin Chuan’s boundless sword energy, dissipating and regrowing.
Lan Lang, lips curling into a sneer, gazed ahead. “The sword domain is extremely taxing on one’s body. I’d like to see if you can wear out my sword energy or break your own body first.”
They were both Sword Souls, but Lan Lang was well-versed in the abilities of a Sword Soul.
Time slowly passed.
The endless sword energy continued to exude terrifying might, as though it had not weakened in the slightest.
At this moment, Lan Lang’s expression changed.
“What’s going on with this kid? Why doesn’t his sword domain show any signs of weakening?” asked Lan Lang, losing his cool.
He was well aware of how much True Qi was required after opening a sword domain. For one like Qin Chuan’s with so much sword energy, it took even more True Qi.
Lan Lang recalled his past self.
Before becoming an immortal, he had also developed a sword domain from his Sword Soul.
At that time, he had developed many sword domains, and there were also those similar to the one Qin Chuan had just used.
This type of sword domain was undoubtedly the most powerful type, but it was too taxing on the body.
In most cases, the strongest wasn’t the best. Only the one that suited oneself was the best.
“Looks like I underestimated this kid. Are all the people from the Lower realms all this monstrous?
“Will Luo Ding Sect see a freak on the Chosen Roll?” murmured Lan Lang.
At this moment, the might of the sword energy he had released was greatly reduced after being whittled down by Qin Chuan’s boundless sword energy. It would probably wear off soon.
“Elder, please be more serious!” shouted Qin Chuan.
From his confident tone and calm expression, it seemed like this sword domain did not weigh much on his body.
This made Lan Lang even more curious, as did the other spectators.
“Does this fellow possess another type of soul? He has a dual-soul aptitude?” asked an elder doubtfully.
Great Elder Bai Kongchen stroked his long beard. “It’s possible.
“But, for now, I did not find any other signs of another soul on him.
“Instead, I have the feeling that Qin Xiaochuan must have practiced some profound cultivation technique.
“When he fought against Lan Lang, it was obvious that his physical strength was extremely powerful, comparable to those of body cultivators.
“Look at the flow of true energy within his body. It’s as though his dantian is a perpetual motion machine, this True Qi was never depleted.”
After listening to the Great Elder’s analysis, all the elders agreed that it was possible.
One by one, they began to inspect Qin Chuan’s body with their Aura Examination Technique.
It was indeed as the Great Elder had said.
For a moment, they were more inclined to believe the Great Elder’s theory.
The Great Elder had a sharp eye.
Qin Chuan cultivated the True Formula of Nine Revolutions Dao Body, a stage seven cultivation technique.
In the cultivation world, stage seven cultivation techniques were equivalent to the emperor-grade and could be cultivated to the Immortal Emperor realm.
How could a cultivation technique of this level not be amazing?
Before Qin Chuan cultivated the True Formula of Nine Revolutions Dao Body, he cultivated the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique.
After mastering this cultivation technique, the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill he refined could generate endless amounts of True Qi, making it nearly impossible to be exhausted.
The True Formula of Nine Revolutions Dao Body was an evolved version of the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique, and its effects had increased many folds.
If Wang Zhixing had used his sword domain, it would have lasted for at most ten seconds. However, as for Qin Chuan, as long as his opponent’s attacks weren’t particularly ferocious, it wouldn’t end.
This was also where Qin Chuan’s confidence lay—he was practically invincible.
Seeing that the situation had exceeded his expectations, Lan Lang decided that there was no better way to deal with Qin Chuan’s sword domain than to use his own.
‘The fact that he had opened his sword domain proved that he was very serious.
A victor was sure to emerge next.
“Boy, I never expected you to force me to open up my sword domain.
“In the near future, your name might appear on the Chosen Roll.
“But now… you still need to grow,” said Lan Lang.
With that said, a powerful aura erupted from his body.
The spectating Great Elder stroked his long beard. “The last time I saw Lan Lang open his sword domain was during a showdown with an Immortal King from the Demon race.
“It has been over a thousand years.
“I’s hard to imagine that, at the same cultivation level, a Sword Dao expert like him would have to open up his sword domain against a junior.
“Looks like this kid from the Lower realm has given us quite the shock.”
“Haha! I think those freaks at the headquarters are much more average compared to Qin Xiaochuan.”
“think so too.”
“We’ve struck gold this time. We can’t let such a freak slip away.”
The elders were overjoyed and couldn’t have been more pleased with Qin Chuan.
At this moment, Lan Lang’s sword domain had been unleashed.
His Sword Domain wasn’t as fancy as Qin Chuan’s; all he had to do was circulate a few simple sword energies around him. He had less sword energy than he had when he unlocked his Sword Soul.
However, such a simple sword domain put a lot of pressure on Qin Chuan.
He could sense the change in Lan Lang’s entire aura. He felt as though this person was standing right before him, yet at the same time, he felt distant. He just felt like he was floating in the air, like an illusion.
In the next moment, Lan Lang’s body turned into a blur before mysteriously disappearing.
When he reappeared, he was already standing behind Qin Chuan.
Lan Lang’s longsword was at Qin Chuan’s neck. With a light slash, his head would definitely be gone.
Qin Chuan’s face was filled with astonishment, and his eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Retracting his longsword, Lan Lang turned his back to Qin Chuan. “My sword domain is known as Extreme Speed.
“I’s range is as far as my eyesight can reach. I can reach anything in an instant. Unless you can predict the future, it’s basically very difficult for you to withstand my attacks.”
Qin Chuan smiled helplessly. “I… lost.”
In fact, he was confident that he could pass this test since he had Future Vision.
However, he didn’t want to cheat; he wanted to use this test to sharpen himself as well.
Losing to Lan Lang wasn’t anything to be ashamed of.
After all, he was an Immortal King, and it was obvious that he wasn’t going all out. Even if he did use his sword domain, he might have even more powerful killing moves up his sleeves.
Qin Chuan also didn’t want to expose too much of his strength. This way, his loss wouldn’t be too embarrassing.
“Kid, are you interested in becoming my disciple?” asked Lan Lang suddenly.
