Chapter 124 Ultimate Showdown: I possess a sword capable of slaying all heavens. ...
"What is that...? Why are stars appearing in the sky???" The cultivators on the platform exclaimed in shock, their voices filled with barely suppressed fear.
The oppressive feeling of the countless stars was simply too strong; each star, governed by laws, exuded boundless power.
"It's that Wang Baimao, she's the one who summoned it!"
"Hurry, hurry, the sky... the sky is about to collapse." Some cultivators with lower cultivation levels were pale-faced and scrambled to their feet, wanting to escape this world, as if if they were a step too slow, they would be crushed into dust by the vast stars.
Not only cultivators, but the entire Sword Debate Peak trembled and tumbled under the oppressive force of the stars, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
On the high platform, even the most senior experts could not remain calm. Even those with profound cultivation could feel the terrifying pressure emanating from the stars. Anyone present who was bombarded by these countless stars would not have an easy time.
Zhong Jiuli's gaze was fixed on Bai Ye, who stood there proudly, the power of stars surging around her like a river, and countless starlight shining from within her, making her appear as if she were an ancient immortal emperor who controlled the galaxy.
Even the Yin energy within her body was drawn towards the Sun Star at this moment.
She stood up, waved her hand, and scattered a silver light that enveloped the entire Sword Debate Peak, also isolating it from the terrifying pressure. Everyone immediately felt relieved.
Ming Wushuang considered his Dao heart to be perfect and flawless, but at this moment, seeing this scene that resembled a creation miracle, he couldn't help but catch his breath.
The oppressive aura emanating from above told her that the overwhelming stars were not illusions, but real manifestations of laws. Each star carried a law or principle, and now these myriad laws converged into a star curtain, the sheer terror of which was beyond description.
Even her celestial avatar, formed from immortal energy, had to retreat three points under these stars, giving up half of the sky.
"Is this your ultimate trump card?" Ming Wushuang whispered.
Bai also looked up, her eyes swirling with nebulae, a fleeting glimpse of stars rising and falling, of the cycle of all things. That profound gaze sent a shiver down Ming Wushuang's spine, almost drawing her into its depths, as she watched the stars vanish and reappear.
"I guess so," Bai readily admitted. "There's nothing I can do. Chief Ming is just that strong. In order to make you the second-in-command, I have to use some of my best skills."
Faced with such a formidable foe, Ming Wushuang smiled instead. She nodded slightly, and immortal light began to flow around her. "Since that's the case, then let's settle this with a single blow!"
The moment she finished speaking, she leaped up gracefully, like a fairy ascending to heaven, her entire body radiating dazzling celestial light.
The celestial dharma image that occupied half of the sky slowly raised its hand and held Ming Wushuang in its palm.
At this moment, people and things become one.
Ming Wushuang gradually merged with that Dharma image, as if that Dharma image was her true form. Her body was surrounded by dazzling immortal light, and she was sacred and incomparable.
"Just what I wanted!" Bai laughed loudly, took a step forward, and stood in the void.
"Hey, hey, hey, does this mean they're both eliminated?" a very clever person asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment before turning their gaze to Da Congming.
Da Congming shrank back under their gaze and muttered, "That's right, they've all left the ring, so of course they've failed."
"Shut up! Are you really not afraid that Bai will bring down stars? We'll all suffer with you then!" someone shouted.
Da Congming felt inferior after being told off, so he had no choice but to shrink his neck and hide in the crowd.
Only then were people able to turn their gaze back to the sky, where Bai Ye and Ming Wushuang stood facing each other, each occupying half of the sky.
The vast starry sky and the flawless immortal light stood in stark contrast, dividing the entire sky into two worlds. The aura of the two was still rising, seemingly without end. No one dared to imagine whether their strongest attack would cripple the Three Pure Ones Sect.
The celestial stars behind Bai Ye slowly rotated, and the already terrifying pressure became even more intense. Ming Wushuang's immortal dharma form was also undergoing a transformation. The originally illusory and empty dharma form gradually solidified, and the patterns on his clothes and the expression between his brows became clear, as if a true god had descended to earth.
The next moment, both of them moved.
Bai Ye quickly formed hand seals, and the myriad stars behind her stopped spinning at the same time. Time and space seemed to freeze at that moment, and only her clear voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "Then, please watch a shooting star!"
Countless stars crashed down, each one imbued with different laws and radiating different lights. Brilliant spiritual light filled the sky, turning the entire heavens into a magnificent sea of stars, breathtakingly beautiful.
Faced with this scene that seemed to mark the end of an era, Ming Wushuang's eyes remained calm as still water. She stood at the center of the Dharma image, pointing her fingers as a sword and drawing an arc in the air.
The celestial avatar moved accordingly, its enormous fingertip sweeping across the sky, condensing all three thousand Great Daos at its fingertip.
"The Great Way has three thousand paths, but all can return to the One."
Her voice was ethereal, like the music of a celestial being. The moment she finished speaking, the arc soared into the sky, transforming into a Yin-Yang wheel that blotted out the sun. The wheel slowly rotated, the Yin and Yang fish chasing each other, endlessly regenerating.
"boom!"
The first star to fall struck the wheel, its explosion filling half the sky with flames. The wheel trembled slightly, directly dissolving and absorbing this destructive energy, merging it into the Yin-Yang Wheel.
Then came the second, the third, and countless stars fell like raindrops.
The roulette wheel trembled violently under the continuous impact, and Ming Wushuang's body trembled slightly. Each star contained a different law of the Great Dao, making it extremely difficult for her to digest and absorb.
Everyone was shocked. Even the young geniuses who had also made it into the top ten of the genius list were speechless. These two were not on the same level as them at all.
Bai Ye's offensive was so powerful that no one else present could withstand it. Only Ming Wushuang managed to stop the countless stars with just a Yin-Yang Wheel.
"They're actually that resilient?" Bai muttered. "Then smash them all down! Smash your broken plates to pieces!"
With a wave of her hand, all the still stars behind her fell and crashed towards the Yin-Yang Wheel.
Ming Wushuang looked up at the sky, her eyes reflecting the countless stars. She knew that the Yin-Yang Wheel could not block all the stars at the same time, and her Daoist techniques could not simultaneously resolve the impact of all the laws' powers.
With a wave of her hand, she dispersed the Yin-Yang Wheel, while simultaneously chanting the supreme celestial music.
The celestial being clasped her hands together, and the celestial sound of the Great Dao resounded throughout the Central Plains. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth throughout the entire Central Plains converged wildly, condensing into a semi-transparent giant sword in her palm.
The sword reflects the mountains and rivers, and the myriad aspects of life, as if it contains the entire world within it.
"I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens!"
Ming Wushuang let out a low shout and slashed forward with the Sword of All Beings in his hand.
With a single sword strike, all is silent.
The countless stars seemed to be imprisoned by some inexplicable force, frozen in mid-air. A dazzling sword light flashed, and all the stars were split in two, turning into specks of light that dissipated into the world.
Only a pitch-black spatial rift remained between heaven and earth, ferocious and terrifying, bearing witness to the supreme power of this sword.
"Wow, Senior Sister Ming is invincible!!!"
"The number one genius in Kyushu! He should be like this!"
The crowd erupted in cheers; the brilliance of this sword strike had already surpassed many people's understanding of the younger generation.
No kidding, if Ming Wushuang were to strike a giant city with this sword, it could instantly raze the city to the ground.
However, the cheers came a little too early.
Bai also stood in mid-air, her silver hair dancing wildly in the gale. She looked at Ming Wushuang, whose face was pale, and asked with a smile, "Second Brother Ming, how many more times can you use a sword like this?"
"No matter how many sword strikes it takes, defeating you... is enough!" Ming Wushuang's face was pale, and his momentum had weakened considerably compared to before, but he still stubbornly insisted.
"Alright, then I'm relieved." Bai Ye laughed loudly. She opened her palm, and spiritual light flashed in it, transforming into a large hand of spiritual energy, which landed on the Sword Debate Peak.
"You hold the power of all living beings, I hold the power of all laws, let's go again!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she clenched her palm tightly, causing the entire Sword Debate Peak to tremble!
Throughout the ages, countless sword auras, killing intents, and bloodlust left behind by people fighting on this peak have been extracted by her with supreme laws and condensed into a semi-transparent giant sword in her palm.
This sword is different from Ming Wushuang's Sword of All Beings. This sword does not contain the myriad phenomena of all beings, but only endless killing intent. It is a sword of slaughter.
The two women faced each other, swords drawn. This time, there was no more testing; they were both well aware of each other's strength—an opponent that required their full strength to defeat.
The two giant swords collided in mid-air, causing the heavens and earth to lose their color, and countless Dao patterns flickered uncertainly in the void.
They are the most favored children of this era, the chosen ones of heaven, who can mobilize the spiritual energy of an entire province with a wave of their hand and extract the spiritual veins of mountains and rivers with a flip of their palm.
This battle was so fierce that the sun and moon lost their light, and the void shattered.
Zhong Jiuli gracefully waved her wide sleeves, unleashing countless silver rays that protected the entire Sanqing Sect. Otherwise, this immortal sect, which had stood for tens of thousands of years, would likely have been reduced to ruins by the fierce battle between these two brats.
Throughout the Nine Provinces, cultivators watching this epic duel via light screens were utterly dumbfounded. Many stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, drool dripping from their chins without them even noticing.
Such a duel, missing even a single moment would be a lifelong regret.
Inside the light screen, the two combatants had already soared into the high heavens. Ming Wushuang's immortal avatar, wielding the Sword of All Beings, continued to slash at Bai Ye. Bai Ye's dragon-tiger avatar, however, had already shattered in the previous clash.
She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not choose to summon all four Dharma Aspects at the same time. While summoning all four Dharma Aspects together could indeed turn the tide of battle, it would also expose all her trump cards to the world.
As the future number one genius of Kyushu, she will definitely face challenges from countless people in the future, so it's best to keep some trump cards up her sleeve.
"Ming Lao Er, your aura is getting weaker and weaker. Are you about to die?" Bai Ye shouted, and the killing sword in his hand emitted a dazzling red light as it attacked Ming Wushuang and her immortal spirit avatar.
"I'll be more than enough to win against you!" The immortal avatar drew his sword and clashed with the two giant swords, causing the clouds to churn and space to shatter.
At this point in the battle, Bai's blood and qi were boiling like in a furnace, and his momentum was still rising steadily.
After Ming Wushuang's powerful sword strike that cleaved through the stars, her aura had already weakened. This was due to the difference in their physical foundations. Although her Daoist techniques were unparalleled and far superior to Bai's, she ultimately fell short in terms of physical strength.
Two figures clashed rapidly in the high sky, their swords flashing like rainbows, piercing the heavens.
Hundreds of rounds passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai realized that no matter how fiercely she attacked, the immortal dharma image remained as steady as a rock, unmoved, as if it were truly invincible.
She dodged backward, creating a distance of thousands of feet between herself and Ming Wushuang, and looked up at the radiant, divine form of the Dharma body.
"Ming Lao Er, is your Celestial Spirit Dharma Form truly unbreakable?"
Ming Wushuang stood in the palm of the Dharma Image, firmly protected by it. Bai also wanted to win, so he had to defeat this Wushuang Dharma Image.
"The Dao is naturally perfect and flawless; how can external forces easily break it?" Ming Wushuang said calmly.
"There is nothing in this world that cannot be broken. If there is, it is only because you are not strong enough!" Bai shouted and slashed with his sword again.
The two clashed once again, and Bai continued to test the limits of the Immortal Spirit Dharma Form. She discovered that every time the Dharma Form was struck by the giant sword, it would flicker and shake, followed by a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth surging towards it.
"It's not that I can't fight, but I still need to replenish my strength with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Then I'll show you what it means to break through all laws with one force." Bai muttered to himself, and the more than one hundred stars that had already been lit up in his body instantly lit up.
The power of the stars flowed around her, and she was once again enveloped in starlight. The brilliant starlight pierced through the clouds, reflecting the phantom of a sea of stars in the bright sunshine.
Ming Wushuang was genuinely surprised this time. She hadn't expected that Bai Ye could summon countless stars again. She had thought that this kind of move could only be used once at most.
Bai seemed to read her mind, and smiled mischievously: "The same trick gets boring after two tries. This time, I'll show you something different."
All the power of the stars surged wildly toward the killing sword, and the sword body burst forth with blazing light. The originally translucent sword body now seemed to have a river of stars flowing around it, presenting an unparalleled dreamlike scene.
"If you can withstand this sword strike, you will be the number one genius in Kyushu!" Bai Ye shouted, gripping his sword with both hands and slashing down fiercely.
The giant sword swept across the sky and slowly descended.
Below, countless people felt the power of this sword, many of whom found it difficult to withstand, and even the protective shield set up by Zhong Jiuli began to tremble.
Everyone was shocked. The mere pressure emanating from the sword made it hard for them to breathe, let alone Ming Wushuang, who was facing the power of the sword directly.
Ming Wushuang did feel the pressure, but even so, her expression remained calm, even though her immortal dharma form had begun to crumble from the edges.
She made a hand seal, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged forth, all converging into the Dharma image and the giant sword.
The celestial avatar, holding its sword horizontally, collided with the giant sword enveloped in the power of stars.
"Snap!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the Sword of All Beings held in the hand of the Immortal Spirit Dharma Image shattered on the spot.
The giant star sword continued its momentum, striking directly at the immortal dharma image.
A dazzling light, like two suns colliding, burst forth, and everyone heard another crisp cracking sound. However, it was unclear whether it was Bai Ye's sword or Ming Wushuang's immortal dharma form that dissipated.
A moment later, the light gradually faded, and everyone could see that Ming Wushuang's figure was falling from the sky.
Her eyes were slightly closed, her limbs were outstretched, her long hair was flying, her face was pale, and there was a trace of bright red blood on the corner of her lips. She seemed to have lost consciousness.
Bai stood in mid-air, holding a giant sword, his clothes fluttering, his entire body radiating starlight, completely unharmed.

Author's Note: [Laughing][Laughing] Last night I was bored and read some of the previous chapters, and then I got so engrossed in reading that I didn't go to sleep until almost 2 a.m.
I found the little tiger in front of me really cute. These days, little tigers always seem a bit cheeky. The kids have gone astray. The old mother sighs.
