Invincible Divine Sword

Chapter 602: Chapter 602: Selfless Realm

Just at that moment, suddenly, Xie Zetao’s entire body burst forth with Sword Qi, which astonishingly transformed into a massive Sword Dragon.

The Sword Dragon seemed as if it was alive.

An undying aura permeated the space.

“Immortal Sword Dragon Technique, the eleventh layer of the Sword Dragon Realm,” Heavenly Monarch Xiao remarked upon seeing Xie Zetao and praised, “Not bad.”

Qi Tian Medicine God also nodded and said, “For someone of such an age, to have cultivated the Immortal Sword Dragon Technique to the eleventh layer and to have comprehended the eight Supreme Sword Intents, indeed, it is commendable.”

The Empire Ancestor of the Linyuan Empire modestly said, “The two lords overpraise him; this youngster merely has some talent in swordsmanship.”

At that time, Xie Zetao’s entire body suddenly radiated resplendent Sword Light from his bones.

Not only that, his blood and his Divine Sea World also emitted resplendent Sword Light, and it was imbued with the power of thunder and lightning.

“Supreme Sword Bone!”

“Thunder Sword Soul!”

All who saw the change in Xie Zetao’s body were once again astonished.

The Supreme Sword Bone was the strongest type of Sword Bone, and the Thunder Sword Soul was a variant Sword Soul, capable of summoning the power of thunder and lightning from the Nine Heavens.

Each one was rare in this world.

Yang Xiaotian, seeing Xie Zetao’s Supreme Sword Bone, was somewhat surprised.

Years ago, during his duel with Du Hongqing from the Celestial Burial Academy, he had seen the Supreme Sword Bone on Du Hongqing. Apart from that instance, he had never encountered anyone else possessing the Supreme Sword Bone.

He did not expect to encounter the Supreme Sword Bone once again after arriving at the Zhongtian Continent.

However, at that time, Du Hongqing was born with a Sword Bone, Sword Body, Sword Heart, and Sword Soul!

Whereas now, Xie Zetao only had a born Sword Bone and Sword Soul.

Just then, suddenly, divine lights entwined around Xie Zetao’s body.

Behind him, a vast divine shadow appeared.

“Eternal Divine Emperor Body!”

The Eternal Divine Emperor Body was also a formidable Divine Body, in no way inferior to the Ancient God Body of Zhang Wei.

Upon witnessing Xie Zetao’s Eternal Divine Emperor Body, the group of ancestors were shocked.

The Ancestral Great Emperor of the Linyuan Empire once possessed the Eternal Divine Emperor Body, under whose leadership, the Linyuan Empire had once dominated many empires in the Zhongtian Continent, and had even become the foremost empire in Qingzhou.

After countless years, the Eternal Divine Emperor Body once again appeared on Heaven and Earth.

“The Eternal Divine Emperor Body,” Heavenly Monarch Xiao exclaimed upon seeing Xie Zetao’s Eternal Divine Emperor Body, “It seems the Linyuan Empire is set to recreate its ancient glory.”

Even he couldn’t deny the strength of the Ancestral Great Emperor of the Linyuan Empire in the past.

“This battle will likely be arduous,” Qi Tian Medicine God remarked, looking toward Yang Xiaotian.

In Qi Tian Medicine God’s view, it would be no easy feat for Yang Xiaotian to win against Xie Zetao, who possessed the Eternal Divine Emperor Body.

The battle that was to come would be grueling.

In that instant, Xie Zetao struck, his figure flashed, and his Divine Sword lunged at Yang Xiaotian.

The power of the Eternal Divine Emperor Body, the eight Supreme Sword Intents, Supreme Sword Bone, and Thunder Sword Soul were all activated.

Suddenly, Divine Light pierced the sky.

The Sword Qi roared through Heaven and Earth.

Thunder from the Nine Heavens resounded deafeningly.

This one sword strike could shake the Ancient Divine Mountain.

Just as Xie Zetao’s sword strike was about to pierce Yang Xiaotian,

Yang Xiaotian, standing there with nonchalance, substituted his finger for a sword and casually struck, unleashing a staggering Sword Qi that blasted forth to meet Xie Zetao’s sword strike.

A sizzling explosion sounded.

The staggering Sword Qi burst outward.

Xie Zetao felt a terrifying force rebounding, sending him stumbling continuously backwards, retreating to his original position.

All who witnessed this were astonished.

“Could it be Unity of Heaven and Man?” the Linyuan Empire Great Emperor exclaimed upon seeing Xiaotian’s sword strike.

If one could comprehend the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, one could integrate the power of the surrounding heaven and earth into oneself.

Just now, Xiaotian’s sword seemed to have drawn upon the power of the surrounding heaven and earth!

Heavenly Monarch Xiao’s pupils suddenly contracted as he took a deep breath and said, “No! It’s not Unity of Heaven and Man!” To the astonishment of everyone around, he declared, “It is the Selfless Realm!”

“What, the Selfless Realm!”

The crowd was greatly shaken.

Unity of Heaven and Man allows one to merge with the surrounding heaven and earth and borrow their power.

But above Unity of Heaven and Man lies the Selfless Realm.

Unity of Heaven and Man is just about merging with the surrounding heaven and earth.

But the Selfless Realm is about becoming heaven and earth itself!

It could be said that when Xie Zetao attacked Xiaotian, he was attacking the heaven and earth around Xiaotian, contending against heaven and earth itself.

No matter how strong humans and gods are, they cannot easily contend against heaven and earth.

The Sword God Hall’s branch Hall Master watched Xiaotian, his heart a storm of shock. Many Sword Gods were incapable of understanding the Selfless Realm, yet this eighteen-year-old youth had comprehended it!

“If this boy were to practice swordsmanship, he would surely be a sword that startles all ages!” At that moment, an extremely ancient ancestor of the Sword God Hall also spoke.

“The Selfless Realm.” Qi Tian Medicine God also murmured to himself, “Perhaps, this youngster might reach a realm that even the Desolate Heavenly Emperor of the past was unable to achieve.”

The Desolate Heavenly Emperor of the past failed to reach that realm and eventually left, vowing that if anyone could reach that realm in a myriad of ages, they would inherit his legacy.

Yet over countless years, the Heavenly Court had seen seventeen Heavenly Emperors, and not one of them had managed to reach that realm.

Xie Zetao, hearing the crowd’s discussion, was also shocked. The Selfless Realm?

He fixed his gaze on Xiaotian once more, and indeed, he found Xiaotian standing there, straddling the line between the illusory and the real.

“I had not expected that the Divine Protector Alchemist would have comprehended the Selfless Realm!” Xie Zetao stifled the astonishment in his heart and said solemnly, “Since that is the case, then I shall no longer hold back.”

Having said that, he activated the Holy Fruit power of the Divine Sea World.

Instantly, light trembled.

One after another, Holy Fruits congealed behind him.

Like Zhang Wei, he had nine tiers of Holy Fruits.

But when the crowd saw Xie Zetao’s nine tiers of Holy Fruits, they could hardly hide their astonishment.

“Thirteen nine-tier Holy Fruits!”

Thirteen nine-tier Holy Fruits!

Just one less, and it would be fourteen!

For everyone present, this was almost the pinnacle of what Holy Fruits could be.

Like Zhang Wei, who had condensed ten Holy Fruits, he had already been acknowledged as Qingzhou’s number one Saint, a feat that had already filled everyone with admiration. Now, Xie Zetao had thirteen nine-tier Holy Fruits, which was astonishing indeed.

Even Qi Tian Medicine God and Heavenly Monarch Xiao were shaken.

Seeing Xie Zetao’s thirteen nine-tier Holy Fruits, Xiaotian was surprised.

This was the strongest and most plentiful Holy Fruit power he had seen so far.

However, although he was surprised, it wasn’t enough to astonish him.

When the thirteen nine-tier Holy Fruits were activated, Xie Zetao’s figure flashed, and in an instant, he was in front of Xiaotian.

“Defeat!” With the force of thunderous might, he thrust at Xiaotian.

He could tell that although Xiaotian had comprehended the Selfless Realm, it was just a recent enlightenment, and even if Xiaotian became one with heaven and earth, his power was limited and unlikely to withstand a strike from his thirteen nine-tier Holy Fruits.

“Not necessarily!” Xiaotian said calmly, faced with the thunderous strike from Xie Zetao.

As he finished speaking, suddenly, heaven and earth shook.

A surging power burst forth from Xiaotian’s body, shooting towards the sky without any sign.

At this moment, everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lifetimes.

Even Qi Tian Medicine God and Heavenly Monarch Xiao, years later, still couldn’t forget the scene they saw then.
