The Almighty Sword Domain

The Difficult Battle

Outside the pagoda, everyone's gaze was fixed on the two great characters in the middle of the pagoda.

At this moment, Qingxue who had advanced to the side had been ignored by everyone.

Clearly, compared to Qingxue's progress to the First Heaven Realm, rising to level 18 was more shocking. This was normal as almost everyone around him had challenged the Sword Servant Pagoda in the past, and they knew how terrifying it was. Especially elder Cao Huo and the other two elders, they were very clearly aware of what it meant to rise to the 18th level .

The main purpose of the Sword Servant Pagoda was to test one's potential. This potential did not refer to one's cultivation, and it was one's potential in battle. There was never a shortage of geniuses in this world, and even to the point that there were people in the southern region who were able to surpass one or even two levels of cultivation to do battle. In other words, the true strength of those with higher cultivation realms might not be stronger than someone in the lower cultivation realms than them.

Cultivation realm was not the only standard to measure one's strength. However, having a high cultivation brought clear benefits, and the amount of Profound Energy one possessed would definitely be more abundant than someone in the lower cultivation realms. Moreover, when one advanced to a certain realm, it would even grant some miraculous abilities.

For example, the reason the First Heaven Realm was more formidable than the Mortal Realm was because once one reached the First Heaven Realm, one would be able to absorb the invisible Spirit Energy in heaven and earth into his body. Spirit Energy would fuse with the body and strengthen the body, and would then extract Profound Energy from the entire body before refining Profound Energy further. Thus, it allowed the Profound Energy to automatically absorb the Spirit Energy within the heavens and earth to strengthen itself as it flowed and circulated within the body. After that, he would continue to remodel one's body nonstop.

Of course, as explained earlier, the First Heaven Realm was not certain to defeat all the Profound Realm in the Mortal Realm. Since there was no shortage of various geniuses in this world, there was also no shortage of heaven defying cultivation techniques. Many top-grade cultivation techniques and external sources of power were able to allow an expert in the Mortal Realm to possess strength comparable to the First Heaven Realm.

For example, a small vortex inside Yang Ye's body. The golden Profound energy created by the small vortex was a kind of heaven-defying thing. In a sense, at that moment, when Golden Profound Energy softened his body, his body was already on par with the body of a First Heaven Realm expert, and was even stronger than some First Heaven Realm experts.

The reason Cao Huo and the others were shocked was because they thought Jiang Yuan had broken through in battle on the 18th, level. Thus, ever since Jiang Yuan ascended to the 17th while in the Mortal Realm and advanced to the First Heaven Realm at the 18th level , it showed that Jiang Yuan not only had great potential in battle, he also had great natural talent.

A First Heaven Realm expert at the age of 16 who rose to 17 years, a temporary level in the Mortal Realm before advancing to the First Heaven Realm at 18to-17 levels. How could all this not surprise the three of them?

“Go tell the demonic woman. Tell him someone's gonna break his record!” Qin Feng stared at the two characters in the pagoda while muttering in a low voice. Because since this person was able to ascend to the 17th level while in the Mortal Realm and had advanced to the First Heaven Realm now, then with the combat power of this person, it was with the combat power of this person, he felt that it should not be difficult for this person to pass through. the 20th level .

A young man behind Qin Feng did not hesitate to turn around and dart into the distance.

On the 18th, level, Yang Ye was endlessly waving the sword in his hand, and it carried many shadows and sharp whistles as it tore through the air. On the other hand, his opponent, Sword Servant, refused to show weakness as well, and the sword in his hand was swung endlessly at a speed equivalent to Yang Ye. The two continued to exchange blows, and it had already reached no less than a few hundred exchanges!

The strength of this Servant Sword at 18, the level had shocked Yang Ye. Especially his speed that was many times faster than Sword Servant at 17also levels. Fortunately, he did not use Reactive Attacks, otherwise, he would have actually sought death. Because even in the best scenario, he would only be able to defeat the Sword Servant with him because the speed of this Sword Servant's attack was too fast.

If he hadn't developed the Basic Sword Technique for two years, if he hadn't held back in the Grand Myriad Mountains, and if he hadn't fought those Sword Servants before, then, he will be defeated now.

Both Yang Ye and Sword Servant did not use any sword techniques or sword qi, and the two of them only used the most basic moves to stab each other and block each other's attacks. Of course, it was impossible to use sword qi at such a close distance because sword qi took time to execute, and both of them were most lacking in time. The two of them did not dare to use sword qi because the one who did so would definitely be instantly pierced in the heart!

The Sword Servant was in a better state because it only had a fighting instinct and had no other emotions. Needless to say, the lack of Sword Servant intelligence was undoubtedly an advantage at the moment. Because it will not be nervous or afraid. Other than engaging in battle, it would not arouse any other negative emotions.

On the other hand, Yang Ye would do it. Even though he was fully concentrated on dealing with the Sword Servant's attacks, he still had some negative emotions. However, this emotion was forcefully suppressed by Yang Ye and was unable to erupt.

However, if this went on for a long time, then he would definitely be the first one who could not survive.

I can't let this continue! Yang Ye thought in his heart while swinging the sword in his hand.

When he thought up to here, Yang Ye thrust his sword into the Sword Servant sword, and he relied on the repulsive force on his sword to jump back lightly. Right at the moment Yang Ye jumped back, the Sword Servant took this opportunity to close the distance with Yang Ye, and then the sword in his hand emitted sword images that covered the sky as they enveloped Yang Ye.1

Ding!

Yang Ye's sword was unleashed by the Sword Servant.

At the moment when his sword was flicked, Yang Ye's huge fist suddenly appeared before the Sword Servant, and then he smashed one of his fists into the Sword Servant's sword while his other fist smashed into the Sword Servant's chest.

The two fists that suddenly appeared caused the Sword Servant's movements to stiffen for a moment. Obviously, never expected that Yang Ye would actually use his fists. However, the Sword Servant quickly counterattacked. The sword in his hand curved and pierced towards Yang Ye's chest with a strange angle.

The battle between experts could be decided in an instant. Right at the moment when the Sword Servant's movement stiffened, Yang Ye's right fist had exploded directly into the Sword Servant's chest, while the Sword Servant's sword had arrived before Yang Ye's chest. However, the Sword Servant sword had just broken through Yang Ye's skin when it was blasted by the immense power contained within Yang Ye's fist.

At the moment when Yang Ye's fist had just come into contact with the Sword Servant's chest, Yang Ye loosened his fist and pressed his fingers to form a sword, then he swung it lightly. Two strands of sword qi stuck near the Sword Servant's body as it flew backwards. In the air, the Sword Servant's speed gradually decreased, letting two strands of sword qi penetrate through it, causing the Sword Servant's figure to gradually disappear.

At the moment when the body of the Servant Sword and his sword disappeared, a fresh blood clot flowed out from Yang Ye's chest.

Although he clearly realized that this was an illusion and he would not die here, Yang Ye still felt an aura of death at that very instant. Just like level 17, if this time he was a little slower, then he should also stop here.

Yang Ye took out his sword that had been flicked by the Servant Sword before, and then he sat cross-legged on the ground and analyzed his own appearance.

This battle allowed Yang Ye to realize that perhaps his sword technique was already not bad, but in the battle with the Sword Servant just now, his sword techniques and he himself had many flaws. His sword technique was inadequate in terms of speed as there were many occasions where he could only defend and not attack, and even if he saw any flaws, he could not attack in time.

Its own drawback is in terms of lack of calmness and tranquility. Especially when he was in an unfavorable position at the end of the battle, and he obviously became impatient back then. Although the risk he took paid off in the end, it was something he bet on.

You could say he was not satisfied with his performance in this fight because he did not like to gamble. If he could maintain his composure and composure, even if he could not defeat the Sword Servant with his sword techniques, he could still fight it for a period of time. On the other hand, gambling emphasized on luck, and Yang Ye did not like to entrust her life to something as superficial as luck.

It seems like my fighting experience is still a little lacking. After I leave this pagoda, I will have to do a lot of actual fighting if I have the chance. It was best to do a life and death battle with the Darkbeasts in the Grand Myriad Mountains. Only the endless experience of life and death would make me stronger and stronger, and only then could I pave the way to that Ascension Rank! After finishing summarizing everything, Yang Ye stood up and gazed towards the 19th level . He had already experienced the power of the Sword Servant at level 18, and could be said to be the strongest expert under the First Heaven Realm that he had encountered. So how great was the Sword Servant on the 19th level to be?

This time, Yang Ye did not directly rise to level 19, and instead he sat cross-legged on the ground. He made use of Golden Profound Energy to repair the wound on his chest because he did not dare to be careless at all when facing the next opponent, and he intended to fight in that battle at his peak condition. Otherwise, it was highly likely that level 19 would be the last level he overcame.

While Yang Ye was resting at the 19th level, Jiang Yuan had struggled for nearly four hours before stabbing through the Sword Servant after revealing weakness. However, he was also in a very sorry state. At this moment, he was not as calm and carefree as in the past. The clothes on his body were already in tatters while there were even some traces of blood on his face, and he instantly fell to the ground after he dealt with this Sword Servant.

After panting a few times, he said in a low voice, “An abnormal Sword Ripples and incredible combat power. It actually nearly killed a First Heaven Realm expert like me. In the past, when the Ancestor said that harnessing external power to advance to the First Sky Realm was flawed, he might be right. Unfortunately, I should not have listened to my father and consumed the medicinal pills to advance to the First Heaven Realm!

Yes, his cultivation has been enhanced through external forces. At that moment, he was well aware that it would cause imperfections in his cultivation, but he still consumed the medicinal pill in the end. He did it for nothing but reputation. Since a ninth rank Mortal Realm expert at 16 was already extremely rare in Snow River City, so what if that 16-year-old was a First Heaven Realm expert?

If it was a 16-year-old First Heaven Realm expert, then it would be great even in the entire State. For the sake of allowing his reputation as a genius to rise to higher levels, he would eventually consume those medicinal pills and increase his cultivation to the First Heaven Realm. However, he regretted his decision now because if he were to cultivate normally to the First Heaven Realm, then he would definitely not be reduced to a miserable state by the Sword Servant.

"Darling!" Jiang Yuan sighed, then he looked to the 15th level . He hesitated for a moment before he revealed a stern expression and said, “Although I have occupied the first position now, if I rise to another level, I will, then it would definitely arouse the attention of the elders of the Sword Sect. I have to pass the 15th level !”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground and quietly recovered his Profound Energy.
