Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 781 - Jian Qi’s Defeat

“Manifestation! No, half-step Manifestation. Wanxin is in the half-step Manifestation realm!”

The crowd’s awe rippled through the air in exclamations.

They had thought Wanxin would die if he did not admit defeat. Unexpectedly, at the crucial moment, Wanxin unleashed his real cultivation.

Golden light pulsed from Wanxin as he clutched the blade of Jian Qi’s Myriad Swords Converge. Around him, meteorological phenomena morphed in a constant cycle that left the crowd breathless with shock.

The crowd’s whispers grew louder, their faces flickering with disbelief and excitement.

“Wanxin hid his true strength all along!”

“No wonder he wouldn’t admit defeat! He still had a final trump card up his sleeve!”

“It looks like this battle won’t end so easily.”

“......”

Having completely unleashed his strength, Wanxin flipped the disadvantageous situation around at once.

Chen Fan, Di Chen, and the others’ expressions also changed.

Inside the spatial arena, Jian Qi’s fierce eyes also narrowed slightly. The reveal had also caught him off guard.

“Hmph!” Jian Qi snorted heavily and pushed his palm down, intensifying the pressure on the enormous sword trapped under Wanxin’s golden grip

However, it was useless.

As if cast from gold, Wanxin’s palm seemed unbreakable. It held firm against the sharp sword qi pressing into him, producing loud clangs but refusing to yield.

Gagaga, gagaga...

The large sword rubbed violently against Wanxin’s palm, sending sparks flying and creating a grating noise.

Its immense force erupted, attempting to overpower Wanxin with unstoppable momentum.

Boom, boom!

Loud booms rang out from inside Wanxin. His aura thoroughly blossomed. The dazzling golden Buddhist light shone from all over him.

“Break!” Wanxin shouted, unleashing a ferocious burst of strength erupted from his palm.

Crack, crack. Crack, crack, crack.

Rupturing noises rang out from the large sword. Numerous cracks spread throughout the blade like a spiderweb.

Boom!

Next, the thousand-foot-long sword broke apart, reduced to millions of fragments that flew out in all directions.

Boom!

The crowd’s hearts pounded fiercely, their eyes wide and throbbing as if about to pop from their sockets.

What did they just witness?

Wanxin had crushed Jian Qi’s converged sword!

“This... this... I’m not seeing things, am I?”

“You’re not. Wanxin... he really crushed that large sword.”

“Hiss, this is just too terrifying!”

Countless people were at a loss for words.

They knew Jian Qi’s Myriad Swords Converge technique was powerful enough to kill top-tier peak Heavenly Star realm experts.

However, Wanxin had crushed such a terrifying attack.

The impact of this scene left their minds blank.

Boom, boom, boom...

A terrifying hurricane swept through the spatial arena as the shattered sword unleashed an endless storm of sword qi, seeming to scrape the ground bare.

Despite his weapon's destruction, Jian Qi remained calm, narrowing his gaze at Wanxin. “Wanxin, I still have one final sword. If you can withstand it, then it’s my loss!”

Wanxin pressed his palms together. Buddhist light shone radiantly from him, and several Buddha Dharma silhouettes appeared behind him. The light of the thirty-six layers of heaven rose above him, casting him as a Buddha who had attained the Dao.

“Benefactor Jian Qi, please!”

“Alright!” Jian Qi wasted no time, taking a deep breath before releasing an incomparably powerful Sword Will from within. A sword, nearly invisible in its intensity, appeared, hovering behind him.

“This is that streak of innate sword qi inside Seventh!” A brilliant light shone in Di Chen’s eyes at the sight.

Born with an innate sword body, Jian Qi had a streak of inborn innate sword qi, capable of cutting through anything. This was his strongest and final ace, one he rarely revealed

Yet, facing Wanxin, a half-step Manifestation realm cultivator, left him no choice.

As soon as this streak of innate sword qi emerged, the entire spatial arena shook violently. The barrier light flashed madly, seemingly unable to withstand the power of this innate sword qi.

The surrounding space began to collapse, unable to withstand the immense force of Jian Qi’s final strike.

“Pay attention, Wanxin. Innate Sword, slash!”

Jian Qi’s expression became rather grave as he formed several finger swords with his hands.

Instantly, the sword light of his innate sword qi streak blazed across millions of miles, slicing through the sky and rending space itself.

Buzz, buzz.

It was like a sword god was wielding this streak of innate sword qi, slashing down slowly and deliberately.

The air parted like a tide, setting off monstrous waves that surged in both directions.

Crack, crack, crack, crack...

The space groaned, straining under the force.

“Om, Ma, Ni, Pad, Me, Hum!”

Two rays of golden light shot out of Wanxin’s eyes as he pressed his palms together, spitting out golden lotuses that blossomed and transformed into the Six-Characters Great Bright Mantra. This time, his mantra radiated a far stronger power.

In an instant, six ancient characters ballooned to the size of a thousand feet. The golden light illuminated the world.

Rumble!

Unlike before, Wanxin was using the Six-Characters Great Bright Mantra for the offensive.

The first ancient character, “Om,” shone with Buddhist scriptures. It flew out, carrying incomparably terrifying powers that suppressed the heavens, blasting towards the Innate Sword.

Boom, tch!

Yet Jian Qi’s Innate Sword cut through it effortlessly, slicing the character as if it were mere butter.

Boom!

But the second and third characters had already surged forward.

Rumble!

The ancient characters collided violently with the Innate Sword, producing a deafening explosion and giving rise to a destructive storm that swept through the spatial arena and wreaked havoc.

However, these two characters were also cleaved apart.

However, after destroying three ancient characters, Jian Qi’s Innate Sword had almost lost much of its powers.

Buzz, buzz!

The fourth, fifth, and sixth ancient characters blasted out in unison.

Rumble!

Six loud booms rang out nearly simultaneously.

The entire spatial arena quaked violently, teetering on the edge of collapse, struggling to withstand the clash of their overwhelming forces.

Waves of golden light roiled through the arena, obscuring the two fighters, leaving the crowd outside unable to see what was happening within.

Everyone clenched their hands tightly. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The crowd had heard the conversation between Jian Qi and Wanxin inside the spatial arena.

So now, what was the result?

A brief moment later, the storm gradually calmed down. The two figures also reappeared.

Then, a voice rang out.

“I lost.”
