"Do you want to fight?"
Dugu Qiubai glanced at Jianmie and said lightly.
His voice roared like thunder, and his whole body emanated an unparalleled sword intent, as if the power of the sword formation surrounding him could be mobilized by him at will.
Jianmie actually felt an extremely dangerous aura from Dugu Qiubai.
"The Sword Emperor's inheritance is mine!"
Jianmie stared at Dugu Qiubaidao, his eyes extremely cold and full of murderous intent.
He proclaimed himself an emperor for the sake of the Sword Emperor's inheritance. Otherwise, he would have had the opportunity to become an emperor in the previous era.
The reason why he was willing to seal himself off for an entire era, and even suppressed his cultivation to the eighth level of the Emperor Realm, was because he had greater ambitions.
There is a shocking secret hidden in the Sword Emperor's inheritance, a secret related to the Transcendent.
Jianmie not only wants to become an emperor, he also wants to obtain the secret of transcendence.
"You failed the test!"
Dugu Qiubai said lightly, with a strange look in his eyes.
"If I kill you, even if I fail the test, the Sword Emperor inheritance will still be mine!"
Jian Mie said in a cold voice.
He walked towards Dugu Qiubai, the vast sword intent rising around him, rising into the sky like clouds and mist, and condensed into a ten-thousand-foot-long sword aura above the sky.
The sword energy was vast and contained endless power of life and death, locking onto Dugu Qiubai in front of him.
"You can try!"
Dugu Qiubai smiled calmly and also exuded an unparalleled powerful sword intent.
He has now passed the test of the Sword Emperor. Although he has not yet received the Sword Emperor's inheritance, his sword intent is extremely condensed and pure, and his combat power has increased dramatically compared to before.
The Sword Mie in front of him was known as an ancient genius with earth-shattering strength, and he was also the descendant of the Sword Emperor.
Encountering such an opponent, Dugu Qiubai was also delighted.
"war!"
There was a flash of sharpness in Jianmie's eyes and a blazing light rose in his palms. An unparalleled sharp sword energy slashed down towards Dugu Qiubai from the sky.
That sword energy was transformed from Jianmie's sword intent. It was extremely strong and rigid, as if it could penetrate everything. It arrived in front of Dugu Qiubai in an instant.
Dugu Qiubai's expression was calm. He stretched out two crystal clear fingers and clamped the sword energy in an instant.
Tiny sword lights shot out from Dugu Qiubai's fingers, enveloping the sword energy and then shattering it in an instant.
"You also take my sword!"
Dugu Qiubai said lightly, the blazing sword intent rising from his body, and in an instant it split into two black and white sword lights above his head, interweaving with each other like a Tai Chi diagram.
Destruction and life were intertwined on Dugu Qiubai's body. The two peerless sword lights merged together in an instant, turning into a long sword that pierced the sky and the earth, slashing down towards Jianmie.
The sword intent of life and the sword intent of destruction!
These were the two most powerful sword intents that Dugu Qiubai had comprehended before he entered the God Realm, and now he had reached the state of great perfection.
The fusion of the two sword intentions formed Dugu Qiubai's current sword art of life and death!
“Well done!”
Although Jianmie felt the power of the sword, there was no fear in his eyes. He soared into the sky in an instant, and endless sword intent condensed around his body, surging like a sea of swords.
Boom!
Endless sword energy rose up, densely packed like the stars in the sky. As Jianmie slashed down with his sword, billions of sword energy came towards Dugu Qiubai at the same time.
This is the Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin style, the supreme divine art passed down by the Sword Emperor. It burst out with dazzling light in Dugu Qiubai's hands.
The battle between the two peerless sword masters unfolded in this chaotic space.
Dugu Qiubai practiced the sword intent of life and death, the ultimate sword intent of life and destruction. The cycle of life and death, the demise of heaven and earth, the rebirth of a new era, every sword strike could cut through the void and destroy chaos. It was extremely powerful.
What Jianmie cultivated was pure killing sword intent. He was born for killing. Once he unleashed all his combat power, he was like the incarnation of the god of killing, killing everything.
Their battle in the chaos was like the creation of the world, and seemed to be able to annihilate everything.
This battle lasted for thousands of rounds.
Dugu Qiubai was extremely shocked. The strength of Jianmie in front of him was beyond his imagination. He was even stronger than Jian Xiong, the garrison commander of Tianjian Emperor City.
The sword intent displayed by Jianmie seemed endless and able to destroy everything.
In the end, a breath of life was born from the murderous sword intent, and the negative pole gave birth to the positive pole, evolving everything.
Jianmie actually also used the sword intent of life and death.
"He is not Jianmie!"
Dugu Qiubai's whole body trembled, and an extremely bright light appeared in his eyes.
Boom!
Chaotic light rose all around, the sky and earth were vast and ethereal, and the sword in front of him turned into the appearance of Dugu Qiubai.
Whether it is the aura or the sword intent of life and death that is displayed, they are exactly the same.
"This is still a test from the Sword Emperor!"
A hint of enlightenment emerged in Dugu Qiubai's mind.
He was fighting with Jianmie across the air, and also fighting with himself.
As for the scene of pulling out the ancient sword just now, it should be an illusion.
Dugu Qiubai was amazed in his heart. The test from the Sword Emperor was indeed weird. Even with his state of mind, he was trapped.
"A battle with myself? This is probably the most difficult battle!"
Dugu Qiubai spoke slowly, but his eyes were filled with unparalleled fighting spirit.
You are the most difficult enemy to defeat.
Since you know yourself very well, how can you win when facing another self
But Dugu Qiubai knew in his heart that only by defeating himself could he truly pass the test of the Sword Emperor.
The same Dugu Qiubai, the same sword intent of life and death, the same immortal origin sword body.
When Dugu Qiubai faced himself, he realized how powerful he was.
He used all his skills, and the sword intent around him was as vast as the ocean. Every strike was able to unleash a devastating force, but he could only barely fight himself to a draw.
Dugu Qiubai on the opposite side was not only able to anticipate his attacks and make defenses in advance, but also able to detect the flaws in Dugu Qiubai's swordsmanship.
Only you know yourself best.
This battle was extremely difficult, and in the end Dugu Qiubai was injured.
He would be tired and injured, but the Dugu Qiubai on the opposite side was like some kind of puppet, with endless power.
This situation is the most desperate.
Faintly, Dugu Qiubai seemed to think of the three questions asked by the Sword Emperor again.
"What is a sword?"
"The sword is for killing!"
"What is Tao?"
"Tao means order!"
"What for me?"
"I am Dugu Qiubai!"
He seemed to have found the key to defeating himself.
Although Dugu Qiubai's face was a little pale at this moment, his sword intent became more fierce and his eyes were bright and dazzling.
He was walking in the air, as if pushing down the sun, moon and stars. The vast sword field behind him was like a world that wanted to suppress everything.
"My sword is for killing and shall crush all enemies in the world!"
Dugu Qiubai's voice was like a roaring thunder, accompanied by a shocking sword energy, which was slashing down towards him in front of him.
This sword is an extremely brilliant sword, and it is also a sword that has never appeared before.
Facing this sword, he was obviously a little flustered, and his aura began to tremble violently.
boom!
The unparalleled sword intent exploded, and Dugu Qiubai in front of him was chopped away by his sword.
"My sword sets order, clarifies yin and yang, and changes the sun and the moon!"
Dugu Qiubai's gaze became more and more determined, and another sword fell from the sky, mighty and powerful, like the shining sun, but without the slightest murderous aura, as if it was the order set by the Emperor of Heaven.
The Dugu Qiubai in front of him was struck and flew away again. His whole body was shaking violently and his aura began to gradually dissipate.
"My swordsmanship does not belong to anyone but me, Dugu Qiubai!"
Dugu Qiubai's state of mind seemed to have been sublimated. The terrifying sword intent around him was condensed into one, and his energy and spirit all rose to the extreme, and finally turned into a sword light that pierced the sky, as if it was going to split the three thousand worlds in half.
Boom!
Endless sword energy exploded, like a blazing thunder, raging and instantly covering Dugu Qiubai in front of him.
The self in front of him revealed a hint of relief in his eyes, and then his whole body disappeared into the chaos.
The chaotic space before him shattered again, and Dugu Qiubai reappeared on the huge rock, still holding the ancient sword in his hand.
The difference is that he still didn't pull out the ancient sword, but at this moment it was emitting a brilliant light.
Everything that I just experienced seemed like an illusion.
Jian Mie on the opposite side has not woken up yet. The expression on his face changes and looks a little ferocious. It is obvious that he has not yet woken up from the illusion.
"Congratulations, you've passed the Sword Emperor test!"
A vague and old voice sounded, and an old man with white hair and beard appeared in front of Dugu Qiubai.
It was the old man who was the spirit of the Sword of Stars.
He just waved his sleeves, and Jianmie immediately woke up from the illusion.
"I'm sorry! Although you are the descendant of the Sword Emperor, the Sword Emperor's inheritance can only belong to him, not you!"
The old spirit of the weapon looked at Jianmie and spoke very gently.
Jianmie's face suddenly turned gloomy.
He still failed.
Just now in the test of the Sword Emperor, he was also asked three questions, and also had a battle with Dugu Qiubai. Dugu Qiubai's difficulty was beyond his expectations, but in the end he became himself.
Although the battle with Dugu Qiubai surprised him, he still had confidence in defeating Dugu Qiubai.
But when facing another Jianmie, he lost his confidence and gradually lost himself in the illusion.
"The Sword Emperor's inheritance is mine!"
Jianmie stared at the old spirit of the weapon and said.
"You have no say in this matter, and neither do I. He is the one chosen by the Sword Emperor!"
The old spirit smiled slightly.
"I don't believe it! The Sword Emperor has already fallen. Isn't the Sword Emperor test just a trick? Hand over the Sword Emperor's inheritance, or don't blame me for being rude to you!"
Jianmie stared at the old spirit in front of him, his voice overbearing and arrogant, filled with strong reluctance.
He waited for an entire era for the inheritance of the Sword Emperor, but it was picked up by Dugu Qiubai. How could he be willing to accept this
As a result, even the old spirit of the weapon was hated by him.
"Your mind is already in turmoil. Now it seems that you are indeed unfit to be the successor of the Sword Emperor! Go away. Since you are the descendant of the Sword Emperor, I will not attack you!"
The old spirit of the weapon said very calmly.
"Are you going to attack me? You are a weapon spirit, and even the Sword of Stars was destroyed. What qualifications do you have to attack me?"
Jianmie sneered, his body filled with murderous intent and his face looked extremely ferocious. He actually attacked the old spirit of the weapon directly.
Boom!
Endless sword intent rose up, and murderous aura filled his whole body, causing the void in all directions to tremble violently. A peerless sword light broke through the void and slashed down towards the old spirit of the weapon.
"roll!"
The old man smiled indifferently, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly.
The vast aura around was surging, causing the void in all directions to tremble violently. A vast imperial power descended, rolled up Jianmie, and threw him directly out of the sword formation space.
"You won't kill him?"
Dugu Qiubai frowned and said.
"His state of mind has been lost, his heart for the Tao has been broken, and there is no hope for him to attain enlightenment in this lifetime! He is the descendant of the Sword Emperor, I cannot kill him!"
The old spirit of the weapon explained.
"Has your Dao heart been broken? I'm afraid that may not be the case!"
Dugu Qiubai said lightly, with a sharp edge in his eyes.
"Is he pretending?"
The old spirit was slightly stunned.
"I'm afraid so! This boy is very scheming, it's not that easy for him to break his heart. He's just afraid that you will kill him, so he's pretending to be crazy!"
Dugu Qiubai said slowly.
"This boy... is really scheming! But even if he didn't act crazy, I wouldn't kill him!"
The old spirit of the weapon smiled bitterly.
"He won't pin his hopes on you. Besides, even if you don't kill him, I will kill him!"
Dugu Qiubai said indifferently.
Jianmie was full of hostility towards him, and even if he left here, he would not give up. By the time he left, the outside world would probably be trapped by a net of traps.
Therefore, there must be a battle between him and Jianmie.
"Then I can't control it! You have passed the test of the Sword Emperor, now follow me!"
The old spirit of the weapon smiled bitterly and shook his head.
He went forward, and Dugu Qiubai followed behind him. The surging sword intent on both sides separated to the sides, revealing a mysterious ancient road.
Dugu Qiubai could see that at the end of the ancient road was actually a sword pool!
In the huge pool, ancient swords were inserted into the sword pool, emitting a blazing sharp edge. The sword energy soared into the sky, making people's hearts palpitate.
There were so many swords in the sword pool that there were probably thousands or even tens of thousands of them. Some were damaged, some had black blood stains on them, and some were even completely broken.
That chilling murderous aura was as if it had experienced countless wars and was extremely terrifying.
"These are all swords that the Sword Emperor has used!"
The old spirit sighed softly, and there seemed to be nostalgia and reluctance in his voice.
Dugu Qiubai looked around and saw the clanging of sword energy in the sword pool, with endless sword intent surging and rushing towards the center of the sword pool.
In the center of the sword pool, where sword intent is intertwined, there are actually 108 ancient swords. Like the king of swords, they are worshipped by thousands of swords and nourished by billions of sword qi!
