Chapter 907: Demon Sword, Divine Profound Force
Although Xuanyuan Wentian was one of the Four Sacred Masters of the Tian Xuan Continent, in his youth, he had been a person of mediocre talent.
In a place like the Tian Wei Sword Domain, his aptitude could not even be considered mediocre. If not for the fact that he... His palm, shrouded in black light, slowly rose: "However, everything ends here."
Crack!!
A flash of black lightning streaked from bottom to top, like a dark bolt from the depths of hell. Xuanyuan Wentian grasped a massive black greatsword in his hand, and from the hilt, a pair of demonic eyes released a terrifying black light.
In an instant, black qi surged around Xuanyuan Wentian's body, the already pitch-black light deepening even further. Even more terrifying was the dark pressure emanating from him, which skyrocketed at an alarming rate. Under this dark pressure, heaven and earth rapidly dimmed, and the churning sea below grew unnaturally still, as if weighed down by an entire mountain.
When this dark pressure swelled to a certain point, it suddenly weakened instead, but the oppressive sensation it gave Yun Che did not diminish; instead, it abruptly caused his soul to spasm for a moment. Then, beneath Xuanyuan Wentian's aura, a powerful and increasingly intense sense of inferiority quickly took root in him.
This is...
The aura of Xuanyuan Wentian's profound force... had undergone a qualitative transformation!?
The terrifying pressure, too vast to describe, silenced the sea for hundreds of miles, darkened the sky, and froze space as if sealed, with not a hint of trembling remaining. Under this overwhelming pressure, countless profound practitioners of the Supreme Sea Palace knelt involuntarily in immense shock, not daring to rise for a long time.
Beneath this pressure, they felt as if they were facing a descending god.
"..." Yun Che's entire body stiffened. He gritted his teeth slightly, then took a deep breath. His chest, which had been suffocating for a long time, finally heaved heavily, and the feeling of being brutally suppressed eased a little.
Crack!!
Crack!!
The sky turned completely dark, especially in the area where the two stood. It became so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face, and even the seawater turned pitch-black. Streaks of dark profound lightning struck down like lightning bolts, turning the battlefield of the two into something like a sudden shift into a dark hell.
"Do you see? Do you feel it? This is this venerable one's true power."
With the demon sword in hand and his blood and soul connected, Xuanyuan Wentian's power had undergone a transformation far beyond earth-shattering. Back in the Ice Extreme Snow Domain, without revealing the demon sword, Xuanyuan Wentian had been defeated by Xiao Yaohou, but once the demon sword emerged, he immediately turned the tables and defeated her.
Now, the power boost that the demon sword brought to Xuanyuan Wentian was even more pronounced.
"This is the power of the Divine Path—the strength of the Divine Xuan Realm level. In the Tian Xuan Continent, it is merely an eternal legend, but on this venerable one's body, it has become a reality."
Xuanyuan Wentian slowly raised the Eternal Night Demonic Sword, and the blade left behind a long black scar—a spatial rift that lingered for a long time without dissipating.
"This is somewhat bad..." Yun Che muttered to himself. He had truly not expected Xuanyuan Wentian's power to increase to such an astonishing degree. Though his heart tightened, his face showed no panic. Instead, he spoke with considerable disdain: "Divine Xuan Realm? Hah, what a joke."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Xuanyuan Wentian's voice suddenly turned sinister, as if angered by Yun Che's questioning of his power.
"Although my power is still far from the Divine Xuan Realm level, my understanding of the Divine Xuan Realm is far greater than yours. Because my master's power is the true power of the Divine Path!" Yun Che's lips slowly curled into a sneer: "My master once said that to truly step onto the Divine Path, it is not just a breakthrough in profound force. Vital energy, soul power, and spiritual perception must all reach a sufficient level to truly enter the Divine Xuan Realm. And once one enters the Divine Path, the entire person undergoes a complete transformation—they can perceive different heavens and laws, possess an independently existing soul, and enjoy an immensely extended lifespan."
"As for you, your profound force might indeed have reached the intensity of the Divine Xuan Realm, but unfortunately, your lifespan and soul power..."
"Shut up!" Xuanyuan Wentian suddenly began to tremble all over, and the black light on his body and sword violently distorted: "How dare you... how dare you question this venerable one's power of the Divine Path!"
"Oh—" Yun Che laughed: "Seeing how agitated you are, it seems you know it clearly yourself."
"Diluted demon blood, a shattered demon soul—yet in pursuit of power, you forcibly drew out all the power in a short time. This is precisely the greatest taboo in the Profound Path... or rather, in any realm: draining the pond to catch all the fish." Yun Che said coldly: "Although you now possess an exceedingly powerful force, perhaps comparable to the Divine Xuan Realm, your power will forever stop here. From now on, it will only weaken, never grow again. As for your lifespan, heh heh heh, you probably have at most less than a thousand years left to live. Not even comparable to an early-stage Overlord Emperor."
"YOU!!!" The black light on Xuanyuan Wentian's body completely erupted into chaos, and his entire being radiated an intense killing intent that reached its peak. Because Yun Che's words were savagely tearing apart the most painful place beneath his arrogant exterior.
"Moreover!" Yun Che did not stop, speaking even louder: "Your vital energy and soul power have both decreased rather than increased. How could your spiritual perception possibly improve? Xue'er and I were hiding twenty miles away from the Sea God Platform earlier, and you never detected us at all. How could you possibly perceive the existence of another heaven and earth... Hah, that is clearly just a pathetic delusion you use to deceive yourself!"
"YOU!! This venerable one will slice you into a thousand pieces!" Xuanyuan Wentian roared wildly, charging at Yun Che with black qi that rolled across heaven and earth. The Eternal Night Demonic Sword released a ghostly light as if from the abyss.
Yun Che's eyes sharpened. Not daring to meet the attack head-on, he swiftly dodged, retreating far away, and did not forget to deliver a final, brutal strike: "Not only have you not entered the Divine Xuan Realm, but in this life, you will absolutely never be able to step into the true Divine Path!"
