Chapter 1210: One Sword To Separate Yin And Yang

The Guanchong Swordmaster was skinny and malnourished, and appeared a lot frailer than he was those years ago. His face was yellow like clay and his eyeballs weren't moving at all. There wasn't a single sparkle of vitality in his eyes and his entire being seemed like a clay statue.

Lin Feng crushed his Virtual Entity during the Heavenly Cart Peak Sword Conference all those years ago. During the Anti-Celestial Sect War, he was severely injured at Xiao Yan's hands and almost lost his life. When he was recuperating inside Mount Shu, his sword heart was also shattered.

All these unfortunate events caused this head swordmaster of the Mount Shu Six Passages of Sword, who was originally the most senior, to suffer extreme losses.

Today, he appeared like he had reformed his sword heart and he had fully recovered from his injuries. However, he was unable to form his Virtual Entity once more for the rest of his life and was destined to remain at the first-level immortal soul stage.

The Guanchong Swordmaster seemed dispirited as if he had lost all vitality, but an extremely dangerous aura rippled all over his body.

When his gaze landed upon Luo Qingwu's body, his seemingly petrified eyes finally moved, and a terrifying sword mind erupted from his body with an incredibly sharp edge.

This was very different from the Guanchong Sword's style of old - this was frightening and unnaturally insidious.

He was holding on to a divine sword roughly seven feet in length. Its entire body was pitch black and there wasn't a single trace of light. The sword didn't even appear sharp - instead, it looked dense and heavy and the entire sword looked like a thick metal slab.

It was old and dull and was as unassuming as it could be. It was the heirloom of the Guanchong Sword Passage, the Guanchong Sword of the six divine swords of Mount Shu.

This was the only sword from the Six Passages that still remained in the hands of Mount Shu. During the Anti-Celestial War, this sword suffered great damage and was nearly shattered by Xiao Yan with a single strike.

Over the years, Mount Shu tried their best to repair it and this magic item at the peak of Metaplasia finally returned to its former glory.

The Guanchong Swordmaster roared deeply as he grabbed the Guanchong Sword and stabbed towards Luo Qingwu. He was as fast as lightning yet appeared as weighty as ever.

On the other side, the Shaoshang Swordmaster and the Shaoze Swordmaster were both injured but garnered the rest of their courage and leapt into battle together.

Luo Qingwu was still locked in with the Grand Moon Swordmaster. She took a deep breath as she pointed the Xuanche Sword forward with her right hand and covered her eyes with her left.

In the next moment, a single streak of black light sparkled above her smooth forehead.

This black streak of divine light extended in all directions. Everywhere that the black rays touched lost all color and all light and warmth were dispelled. Everything returned to eternal darkness soundlessly and without notice and journeyed towards the final destination.

There was no frightening spectacle, and neither was there a terrifying calamity. Everything just proceeded towards ultimate death and descended into complete silence under the chills and the darkness.

This was Luo Qingwu's Holy Light of Creation, the Void Annihilation Divine Light!

The first person to feel discomfort when this light appeared was actually Zhuge Zhan, who was on Luo Qingwu's team.

Zhuge Zhan practiced the Divine Light of the Sun Mantra, and it happened to be the complete opposite of Luo Qingwu's Void Annihilation Divine Light.

However, Luo Qingwu's Holy Light of Creation obviously wasn't targeted at Zhuge Zhan. The black divine light that appeared like transparent crystals didn't launch toward the Grand Moon Swordmaster and the others. Instead, it condensed and started encircling around her body.

Uncountable numbers of glyphs and runes started to surge within the divine light that appeared like solid ice crystals. However, everything was devoid of sound and this casted a haze of fear over everyone.

It felt as if even one's consciousness would be frozen if sent to probe.

"Shaoshang, Shaoze, retreat! Protect me, Guanchong!" The Grand Moon Swordmaster's eyes burst with icy light. Even a powerful second-level immortal soul stage cultivator such as he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and he immediately activated the Grand Moon Sword and launched his own assault.

Both the Shaoshang Swordmaster and the Shaoze Swordmaster revealed doubtful expressions as they stopped in their tracks when they heard his words. The Guanchong Swordmaster's face contorted subtly, but ultimately withdrew his sword and took a step back. He channeled the power of the Guanchong Sword as he focused on defense and coordinated with the Grand Moon Swordmaster, who was focused on attack.

At this moment, Luo Qingwu let loose a shallow sigh. It felt as if it was the only sound in the eternal darkness of the silent night.

Subsequently, the Xuanche Sword in her hands transformed into a pillar of flowing light and integrated itself into the Void Annihilation Divine Light around her body.

The divine light that appeared like black glaciers suddenly flickered with a streak of radiant purple light. The purple lights were blindingly brilliant, but didn't seem out of place at all as it fused together with the Void Annihilation Divine Light. Instead, it seemed as if both entities were complementary to each other.

The radiant light burst outwards and blanketed over heaven and earth in the next moment.

Whether it was the Grand Moon Swordmaster, the Guanchong Swordmaster, the Shaoshang Swordmaster or the Shaoze Swordmaster, everybody felt an intense chill that touched them to the bone.

They were all in the immortal soul stage and their physical bodies were anything but normal. Yet, all of them felt a strange coldness.

They raised their eyes and watched as Luo Qingwu's giant cosmic form, which had four heads and eight limbs, transformed into flowing light as it also infused itself into the Xuanche Sword.

The purple-robed young girl tapped lightly with her foot and started waltzing along with the Xuanche Sword inside the sprawling purple light. Both the Xuanche Sword and Luo Qingwu herself vanished into the giant patch of purple.

And that enormous purple sword radiance was as vast as the heavens above and loomed over the world.

The black Void Annihilation Divine Light plated on the surface of the purple sword radiance. The black light, which appeared like solid ice crystals, started to shift around the surface of the cloud-like purple sword radiance.

This sinister spectacle that seemed so unnatural exhibited a strange but undeniable feeling of seamless harmony, as if the it was the most profound and unfathomable concept in the entire world.

"This..." The Grand Moon Swordmaster felt a haze of terror come over himself as he suddenly realized that his surroundings were starting to warm up.

His environment was warm, but his body felt cold to the bone. The Grand Moon Swordmaster and the others looked up and watched as the purple radiance that permeated the entire world was like a barrier that separated the Yin and Yang of the world as its polar ends.

Luo Qingwu used the Void Annihilation Divine Light as support as she unleashed the final stance of her Heaven-Given Six Unity Sword Mantra - the Nine Heavens Pure Yin Sword!

The sprawling patch of purple drifted around inside the Saintly Celestial Primordial Sword Formation before it launched itself towards the Grand Moon Swordmaster and company.

The Grand Moon Swordmaster and the Guanchong Swordmaster could feel the unfathomable sword mind embodied within. Both of their expressions changed as the Grand Moon Swordmaster stepped back and growled, "Pass me the sword, Guanchong!"

The Guanchong Swordmaster's face went black, but ultimately handed the Guanchong Sword to the Grand Moon Swordmaster.

The Grand Moon Swordmaster withdrew the Grand Moon Sword passage and activated the Guanchong Sword passage instead. He channeled the Guanchong Sword and transformed it into a giant black sword. The black blade seemed like it had no edge, and it was extremely dense and unagile but it resembled a wall as it protected the Grand Moon Swordmaster and the others behind it.

Luo Qingwu's Nine Heavens Pure Yin Sword and its sword radiance, under the influence of the Void Annihilation Divine Light, appeared as light as the clouds as it crashed against the Guanchong Sword, which was used by the Grand Moon Swordmaster in full defense mode.

A gargantuan unedged sword that resembled an impregnable mountain started to crack along its surface - and it didn't stop as the whole thing began to crumble.

The Grand Moon Swordmaster's face was dark and sullen. "If I hadn't lost the Grand Moon Sword those years ago..."

He didn't dare to divide his concentration as he continued to channel the full power of the Guanchong Sword. Streaks after streaks of black heavy swords surged into the sky to cover up cracks in the enormous black sword as he gave his all to resist against the assault from Luo Qingwu's sword radiance.

At this moment, Zhuge Zhan roared into the sky as Divine Sunlight radiated around his body once more before they transformed into a colorful rainbow. The long rainbow blocked off the sword radiance from the Saintly Celestial Primordial Sword Formation before it continued deeper into the sword formation.

The Tiangang Swordmaster was engaged in furious battle with the Cang Ming Swordmaster in the void above the sword formation.

The Tiangang Sword Star Rivers stretched over the universe as he pressed the Cang Ming Swordmaster till even his head started to bend downwards.

The Cang Ming Swordmaster channeled his own Dark Boundary Sword Technique to the highest possible level, and used the Saintly Celestial Sword Qi as his foundations as the vast sword radiance extended across the heavens. It appeared as if it was about to box the entire void, as if it was going to enclose the Tiangang Swordmaster and the Tiangang Sword Star Rivers within.

The surface of the simple bronze longsword in his hands sparkled with light. The radiance was enormous, but it wasn't blinding and appeared like the ceiling of the heavens. It was the second of the two most powerful swords after the Saintly Celestial Sword that belonged to the Mount Shu Sword Sect, the sword shared a reputation with the Tiangang Ancient Sword - the Cang Ming Ancient Sword.

The Cang Ming Swordmaster's level of mastery was inferior to the Tiangang Swordmater, but with the continual infusion of power from the Saintly Celestial Primordial Sword Formation, streaks of white light integrated into the Dark Boundary Curse before him and he temporarily fended off the Tiangang Swordmaster's assault.

Both of them could feel that the Saintly Celestial Sword's sword mind was becoming more conspicuous inside the sword formation. It became something from nothing, and became from weak to strong.

It felt like a world-ending powerful deity that was awakening from his deep slumber, as if he was returning from the world of the dead to the world of the living.

The Tiangang Swordmaster was expressionless but he started to attack faster and faster. The Cang Ming Swordmaster wasn't willing to draw even more power from the sword formation as that would hinder the re-forging speed of the Saintly Celestial Sword.

Faced with the intense pressure from the Tiangang Swordmaster, the Cang Ming Swordmaster howled into the air as the world formed by the green sword radiance was abruptly withdrawn. It integrated with the Cang Ming Swordmaster into a single streak of light as it plummeted down into the Saintly Celestial Primordial Sword Formation.

The Tiangang Swordmaster grew a lot more solemn as he channeled the Tiangang Sword Star River and followed closely in pursuit.

However, the Saintly Celestial Primordial Sword Formation suddenly changed the white lights coming from within were all transformed into green light.

The entire sword formation was completely converted into an independent world, as if it was a giant green sphere of light while streaks after streaks of Saintly Celestial Sword Qi spiraled around inside.

The Tiangang Swordmaster and his Tiangang Sword Star River slammed against the green sphere. Large amounts of sword radiances and sparks crackled as the green sphere of light burst with light from the strike. Even though it withstood the Tiangang Swordmaster's attack, the pressure it had to take was great.

The Cang Ming Swordmaster's expression didn't change as he positioned himself inside the sword formation. His hands casted spells continuously as he directed the Saintly Celestial Primordial Sword Formation. While holding off the Tiangang Swordmaster, he continued to forge the Saintly Celestial Sword.

At this moment, Luo Qingwu withdrew the Nine Heavens Pure Yin Sword and the purple lights faded and she revealed herself and the Xuanche Sword once again.

Zhuge Zhan didn't understand what she was thinking, but continued to resist the pressure from the Saintly Celestial Primordial Sword Formation.

The Grand Moon Swordmaster and the Guanchong Swordmaster and the others huffed a sigh of relief. Their attentions shifted to the transformed sword formation and sensed the changes that happened within and had their own revelations. "Elder Cang Ming is using the entirety of the sword formation to resist the Tiangang Swordmaster. This means that the process of re-forging the Saintly Celestial Sword is well on its way and is on the right track!"

They decided not to attack blindly. Instead, they stood by the path into the sword formation and defended it to the best of their ability to prevent Zhuge Zhan and Luo Qingwu from going any deeper.

"What happened to you?" Zhuge Zhan asked Luo Qingwu, before he noticed Luo Qingwu sitting on the ground with her legs crossed. The Xuanche Sword was horizontally placed across her knees as light flickered above her head and a human figure appeared - she was releasing her nascent soul.

Luo Qingwu's eyes sparkled with inexplicable light as she whispered, "Mister Zhuge, can you direct some of your strength onto my body?"

Zhuge Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "You are very brave, little girl."
