Chapter 264 You call this 7th Rank 1?
"Seventh Rank, First Level?"
The elder of the holy land frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, which was then replaced by deep disdain.
"What kind of ant is this?"
"A mere beginner in the seventh rank dares to play tricks on me and incite a beast tide?"
It is important to understand that on the path of cultivation, the higher one goes, the more the gap between realms becomes like an insurmountable chasm.
At lower levels, one might be able to barely fight against opponents of higher levels by relying on divine weapons and unparalleled martial arts techniques.
However, once you step into the seventh-level "Void Realm", each advancement in a minor realm represents a qualitative change in your control over the "Power of the World"!
There is a full nine minor realms between the first level of the seventh rank and the peak of the seventh rank!
The gap between them is even greater than the gap between an ordinary person and a sixth-level cultivator.
In his view, this kind of person who had just entered the seventh level was basically an ant that he could easily kill with a single sword strike.
Even without using all their strength.
"However, although this person's cultivation level is low, his method of concealing his aura is ridiculously advanced."
"If I hadn't cultivated the 'Heavenly Rank Insight Technique'—[Taiyan Divine Eye]—a secret technique passed down by the Taiyan Holy Land, I'm afraid he would have really been hiding right under my nose and watching a good show."
"This person must possess a great treasure!"
Thinking of this, the elder of the Holy Land felt an even stronger killing intent.
He did not let his guard down just because the other party's cultivation level was low. He understood the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit, having lived for thousands of years.
"Since you're here, then stay here for this old man!"
"The Taiyan Sword Manual - Seventh Form!"
He showed no intention of testing anyone; he went all out from the start.
Moreover, he was using the Heavenly Rank sword technique he had already mastered to the "Great Perfection" level – the "Taiyan Sword Art"!
"Buzz—!!!"
In an instant, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of ten thousand miles seemed to be summoned by some powerful force, and frantically converged towards the long sword in his hand!
A terrifying white sword aura, thousands of feet long, appeared out of thin air!
This sword energy contains the unique Geng metal energy of the Taiyan Holy Land, and is also mixed with his powerful world power at the peak of the seventh rank!
Wherever the sword energy passed, space crumbled like a fragile sheet of paper.
With an overwhelming aura that could crush everything, it slashed towards Lin Hanzhou.
……
Faced with this sword strike, which would make any ordinary seventh-tier expert despair.
Lin Hanzhou's face showed no panic.
"Clang!"
A clear and resounding sword cry echoed through the sky.
Lin Hanzhou suddenly drew the [Thunder Tribulation] from its sheath!
"The Thunderfire Sword Technique!"
boom!
As Lin Hanzhou swung his sword!
At this moment, the immense power of the world within him surged into the sword like a bursting dam.
Furthermore, the terrifying enhancement of the purple talent [Divine Swordsmanship] amplified the power of this sword strike several times over!
"Sizzle—!!!"
A terrifying sword aura, even larger and more dazzling than the white sword aura, interwoven with purple and red colors, appeared out of nowhere.
That was endless destructive thunder, that was true fire that burned the heavens!
Thunder and fire merged perfectly at this moment, transforming into a pure torrent of destruction.
……
"boom--!!!"
Two equally earth-shattering sword energies collided fiercely in the sky!
For a moment, time seemed to stand still.
Immediately following was a deafening bang that could shatter eardrums.
The already churning, endless sea of clouds around them was instantly dispersed by this shockwave.
The surrounding area, spanning tens of thousands of miles, was trembling violently and wailing!
It seemed unable to withstand the onslaught of this force and was on the verge of complete collapse.
At the heart of the collision, the old face of the Holy Land elder, which had been full of confidence and arrogance, froze completely the moment he saw what happened next.
Instead, their faces were filled with terror and horror.
"Snap—!"
A crisp, heartbreaking sound came from the center of the collision.
His prized "Taiyan Sword Qi" crumbled and disintegrated the moment it came into contact with the "Thunderfire Sword Qi," as if it had encountered its nemesis.
But the lightning and fire sword energy seemed to be unimpeded in the slightest, and continued to slash fiercely at him with an invincible momentum!
"No...impossible!!"
He let out an incredulous scream!
"This...how is this possible?!"
"Seventh Rank, First Level? You call this Seventh Rank, First Level?!"
"Even if we were both peak seventh-tier sword cultivators, we couldn't possibly crush me with a single sword strike!"
He desperately tried to retract his longsword and defend himself.
However, it was too late.
"when--!"
The lightning-fire sword energy slammed fiercely into the blade of the longsword in his hand.
This seventh-grade high-level spirit sword, which had accompanied him for thousands of years and slain countless powerful enemies, let out a mournful cry at this moment, unable to bear the weight any longer.
Then, in his eyes filled with despair and heartache.
It broke, it was forcibly cut in two!
"Pfft—!"
After severing the spirit sword, the thunder and fire sword energy still had momentum and slashed fiercely at his body.
"ah--!"
A piercing scream echoed through the sky.
The seventh-tier robe worn by the Holy Land elder shattered the moment it came into contact with the sword energy.
His body was instantly charred black and torn apart by the erosion of this lightning and fire power.
He was sent flying backwards from the sky, coughing up blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, like a fly being swatted away.
With a loud "boom," he crashed heavily onto the ground below.
It smashed the hard rocky ground, creating a huge crater hundreds of meters in diameter.
Smoke and dust billowed, and gravel flew everywhere!
……
Bottom of the giant pit.
The Holy Land Elder lay among the rubble like a dead dog.
He was covered in blood, his aura was extremely weak, and most of the world power within him had been scattered.
He struggled to lift his head and, through the billowing smoke and dust, looked at the black-clad figure in the sky who was still wielding a sword.
The arrogance and disdain in their eyes had long since vanished.
Instead, there was intense fear and profound confusion.
"Cough cough...cough..."
He coughed up blood while roaring madly in his mind.
Why?
Why is this happening?
"He's clearly... he's clearly only at the first level of the seventh rank!"
"I am at the peak of the seventh rank! I am a Supreme Elder of the Taiyan Holy Land! I cultivate a Heaven-rank sword technique!"
"Why was I killed by him with a single strike, sword and all?"
"This completely goes against the common sense of spiritual practice!"
"Could it be... that he is the reincarnation of some ancient monster?"
This sword strike not only severed his spiritual sword but also shattered his Dao heart.
This made him deeply doubt his own cultivation over the past thousands of years.
