Chapter 161: Jiang Li: Flashy, I’ll break all Spells with one sword! 【Five thousand words, seeking monthly votes】

Dao Law Peak.

As the second-ranked Xuan Peak among the Thirty-Six Peaks of Tianxuan, Dao Law Peak could definitely be called an immortal mountain. The Peak was shrouded in clouds and mist, with auspicious clouds imbued with a faint purple Spiritual Qi. The air was filled with a subtle scholarly scent, forming tiny runes, each inscribed with a Spell. From a distance, it looked like an ocean of Dao Law.

When Jiang Li appeared above Dao Law Peak, the Disciples who were reading Jade Slips couldn’t help but stop their actions and began to chatter.

The news about Jiang Li initiating the Saint competition and challenging the four Holy Son Candidates had already spread like wildfire, so they naturally knew about it.

Especially Jiang Li’s frequent victories, the news of him defeating Thunder Mountain with three punches and Huo Wushuang surrendering upon his appearance, shook the entire Holy Land.

Now.

Jiang Li had come to Dao Law Peak and was about to challenge their Senior Brother of Dao Law Peak. This was destined to be a Peak showdown.

They thought: Thunder Mountain of Heavenly Strength Peak was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, but Qin Wudao of their Dao Law Peak was different. He was a being who mastered all kinds of Spells, known as the “Little Immortal Lord of All Spells.” No matter how strong Jiang Li’s Physical Body was, he could only become a living target.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you’ve come. But I’m curious, why didn’t you challenge Xuan Tianji first? You should know that I, having Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, am not comparable to Thunder Mountain. Before advancing to Nascent Soul, I was slightly inferior to Xuan Tianji, but after advancing to Nascent Soul, Xuan Tianji is far from my equal. If you choose to challenge me first, you won’t have the chance to experience Xuan Tianji’s terrifying power.”

At this moment.

Qin Wudao appeared, walking towards him.

The seven-colored divine light on his brow shone brilliantly, and as he walked, he was like a divine sword unsheathed, revealing its sharp edge.

His attitude was no longer as peaceful as before; instead, his Aura was overbearing.

Jiang Li: You mentioned Xuan Tianji’s name four times in one sentence and harshly belittled him. It’s clear you were traumatized by him in the past and are now relying on your higher Realm to get revenge.

“I think he’s stronger than you.”

Jiang Li spoke truthfully.

When Xuan Tianji stared at him, he felt a certain degree of pressure, but he didn’t feel that from Qin Wudao. This was the biggest difference.

While pressure doesn’t necessarily equate to threat level, it can, to a certain extent, indicate how troublesome an opponent is.

Upon hearing this.

Qin Wudao’s composure broke in an instant, his expression stiffening slightly.

“It seems Junior Brother Jiang has specifically learned how to provoke opponents. Very well, you’ve succeeded. Today, I also want to see what capabilities Junior Brother Jiang truly possesses, and whether your Sword Killing Force is more powerful, or if my myriad Spells hold the advantage.”

Jiang Li didn’t speak.

He cursed inwardly: Why does everyone think he has mastered Sword Killing Force? I wanted to hide my trump cards and pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger. By overestimating my strength like this, you’re making my enemies believe it and specifically guard against this move, even though I really have mastered it.

Unbearable.

No, after this Saint competition, he needed to condense a few more Great Sun Sword Qi and also put Lightning Tribulation attribute Sword Killing Force on the agenda. Otherwise, his strength could be overestimated at any time.

Amidst his muttering.

Qin Wudao had already distanced himself.

The two stood on separate hilltops, more than five hundred meters apart.

The reason for this was naturally Qin Wudao’s caution against the Golden Core phenomenon Jiang Li had displayed when challenging Thunder Mountain.

A single word, ‘Forbidden Spell,’ prevented Thunder Mountain’s Lightning Tribulation Nascent Soul Dharma Idol from releasing its divine lightning power. To Qin Wudao, this was simply the most terrifying method in the world, even more formidable than Sword Killing Force.

If he didn’t constantly maintain a distance of more than five hundred meters, he could become a blank slate at any time.

“Be careful, Junior Brother Jiang.”

These words were like a signal, indicating the official start of the contest between the Heaven Sword Peak Holy Son Candidate and the Dao Law Peak Holy Son Candidate.

There was no prelude, no difficulties, no show of force, and no specific challenge arena. They just stood there and fought. Whoever surrendered first, whoever lost the ability to resist, would be the winner.

Boom… As soon as Qin Wudao finished speaking, he had already activated his Spell. His hands swept in front of him like playing a zither, and five-colored Spiritual Light—gold, green, blue, red, and yellow—instantly burst forth. Almost at the moment the Spell was activated, the hilltop where Jiang Li stood began to shake.

One by one, earth spikes shot out from beneath Jiang Li’s feet, appearing dark brown with chillingly sharp tips. Even more astonishingly, these earth spikes covered an area of over a hundred meters around him, turning it into a trap of earthen spikes.

Jiang Li soared into the air. Instantly, the ground churned again, and tough green wood thorns grew wildly from the ground, coiling around Jiang Li’s ankles like spiritual snakes, restricting his movements.

Next, Qin Wudao exhaled a pure white spiritual flame. The spiritual flame did not burn towards Jiang Li, but instead ignited the coiling green wood thorns. Wood generated fire, and the spiritual flame’s power suddenly surged, forming a roaring fire dragon that shot upwards along the thorny wood, bringing with it intense high temperatures, heat, and thick smoke that obscured vision.

And Qin Wudao, who had cast the Spell, had appeared behind Jiang Li at some unknown point. An extremely solid, incomparably sharp Grand White Gold Essence Sword Qi silently pierced through the dense fog, a cold glint arriving later.

Jiang Li found it curious.

A single Spell simultaneously unleashed the power of four attributes: gold, wood, fire, and earth. Each corresponding attribute Spell possessed a fourth-tier power level, and the final sharp gold attack even had a fourth-tier power comparable to Sword Light. This chain attack alone would be difficult for a Nascent Soul Cultivator to withstand.

As expected of a Holy Son Candidate who cultivated myriad Spells, his Spells were endless.

It’s just… too flashy.

“Have you had enough?”

Jiang Li softly uttered a few words.

He pinched a Purple Radiance Sword Light, formed from purple-gold flames, between his fingertips. The Sword Light extended into a slender, thousand-meter-long thread, spreading out in a circular ring centered on Jiang Li. Wherever it passed, whether it was hard earth spikes, tough thorny wood, or a roaring fire dragon, all were instantly cut open.

Behind him, out of sight, Qin Wudao’s body was also cut in half at the waist.

Seeing this scene.

The Disciples inside and outside Dao Law Peak were all greatly startled.

It’s over?

Qin Wudao, the Holy Son Candidate of Dao Law Peak who was the first to Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, was killed just like that?

These Disciples subconsciously looked at the Elders of their respective Xuan Peaks, their eyes filled with shock.

“It’s not that simple; that was just one of Qin Wudao’s spiritual bodies.”

An Elder revealed the secret, staring intently at the battlefield.

Qin Wudao of Dao Law Peak cultivated myriad Spells, mastering over three hundred different Spell Divine Abilities, covering Sword Arts, Blade Arts, Spear Arts, movement techniques, seven-element Spells, and various Divine Ability methods.

Among these, Five Elements Spells were his signature technique. He could not only easily transform the power of the Five Elements but also freely switch between them. His mastery of the cycle of wood generating fire, fire generating earth, and earth generating metal was exquisite. Even at the Peak of Golden Core, he could use this Five Elements transformation technique to toy with Nascent Soul Cultivators, leaving them no chance to retaliate and leading to their frustrated defeat.

And now.

Qin Wudao, having Breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage, was even more powerful. Each of his Five Elements Spells possessed true fourth-tier power, and his metal-element Spell even displayed an attack intensity not inferior to ordinary Sword Light. Cultivators below the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul would simply be unable to resist.

“But Jiang Li is still superior. No matter how smoothly Qin Wudao’s Five Elements Spells are executed, they cannot withstand the sharpness of the attribute Sword Light. If Qin Wudao had used his true body in that last attack, he would have been dead or severely injured.”

Another Elder exclaimed.

To control attribute Sword Light to such an extent, this Heaven Sword Peak Chief’s talent in the Dao of the Sword is truly astonishing. No wonder he was able to comprehend the fifth Realm of the Dao of the Sword at this age and was even suspected of having mastered Sword Killing Force. He is a true Prodigy of the Dao of the Sword, his Aptitude comparable to the founding Ancestral Master of the Sword Dao Sect… Inside the arena.

As Jiang Li controlled the Purple Radiance Sword Light to cut through the incoming attack, Qin Wudao’s body, which had been cut in half, vanished from its spot and reappeared on the opposite hilltop.

“Junior Brother Jiang’s attribute Sword Light is truly formidable; it instantly resolved my offensive. However, if it’s only to this extent, it’s not enough to deal with me. Bring out your trump card and let me witness the true power of Sword Killing Force.”

Qin Wudao unfolded his Nascent Soul Dharma Idol.

Behind him appeared a Nascent Soul Dharma Idol, nearly fifteen zhang tall, constructed from countless flowing, translucent runes. Its outline resembled a human figure, yet it appeared more ethereal and intelligent.

Within the Dharma Image’s body, countless colored light bands flowed like meridians. Each light band represented a different attribute of magical power, continuously operating, intertwining, and transforming according to a profound pattern.

Immediately following.

Qin Wudao’s figure flickered, and his spiritual bodies continuously materialized in place. Each possessed a magical power fluctuation almost identical to his main body. In just a flash, twenty Qin Wudaos appeared on the opposite hilltop.

Each of them possessed different abilities.

Some condensed fiery sun swords in their hands, their sword might resplendent; some had heavy profound ice mountains above their heads, exuding chilling Aura; some were surrounded by endless sharp Knife wheel, with screeching metallic Qi; others held dry blue ice flames in their hands, with scorching white lightning orbs condensed in their palms.

Twenty spiritual bodies simultaneously ascended, unleashing their attacks.

Jiang Li couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration: Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, lightning, Sword Qi, blade Aura, spear momentum—everything imaginable was present. Besides these, there was also the method of spiritual body transformation, which allowed all the mastered Spells to erupt simultaneously. As his Cultivation continued to improve, the opponent would eventually be able to unleash myriad Spells in a single strike, and at that time, the intensity of the attack would be unimaginable.

Compared to Thunder Mountain, Qin Wudao’s strength was clearly higher, ranking among the top Cultivators in the Late Stage of the Nascent Soul Stage. These Holy Son Candidates were indeed all prodigies, powerful existences whose future could be foreseen.

However… to force out his Great Sun Sword Qi, it was still a bit lacking.

If he were at the Early Stage of Golden Core Cultivation, then in a direct confrontation using only his swordsmanship, he would indeed need the Great Sun Sword Qi to defeat the opponent. But… he was now at the Middle Stage of Golden Core.

The power of the Jun Thunder Calamity Flame Sword Light had already reached the level of invincibility in the Late Stage of Nascent Soul.

“I need to finish this challenge as soon as possible and start the Saint assessment, so I can avoid being in the limelight as much as possible.”

Jiang Li thought to himself.

With that thought.

He simultaneously pinched two different elemental Sword Lights between his fingertips. The speed of condensation was extremely fast, almost instantaneous. Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jiang Li clapped his hands together, and the two completely different elemental Sword Lights of lightning and fire smoothly merged, forming a beautiful, flowing Sword Light shimmering with flames and electric arcs.

Immediately.

The crowd erupted.

More than a dozen figures suddenly appeared in the sky.

These figures were all Soul Transformation Peak Masters from various Xuan Peaks. They were not originally among the onlookers but were observing in secret. However, at this moment, they couldn’t help but reveal themselves, their faces filled with shock.

The Xuan Peak Elders with slightly weaker composure even had their magical power stall, and the Spiritual Qi around them became chaotic. They almost blurted out: “How is this possible? Elemental Sword Light can still be fused?!”

It was no wonder they were so flustered; the scene before them completely exceeded their expectations.

They had all been prepared for Jiang Li to reveal the Sword Killing Force, his trump card, but they never expected that Jiang Li would not use the Sword Killing Force. Instead, he used a method even more terrifying than the Sword Killing Force—Jiang Li actually fused two elemental Sword Lights.

“What’s going on? Isn’t this still elemental Sword Light? Why are the Elders and Peak Masters so excited?”

A Disciple was confused.

If Jiang Li had displayed the Sword Killing Force, it would be normal for the Elders and Peak Masters to react this way, but wasn’t this still elemental Sword Light? No matter how powerful it was, could it be more shocking than the Sword Killing Force?

“No, no, no, these two are not the same concept. Sword Killing Force is a clear fifth-order power. Although Chief Jiang condensing it is unexpected, it only shows his extraordinary talent in the Dao of the Sword. However, the Fusion of elemental Sword Light belongs to a completely new Domain in the Dao of the Sword; it is creating a brand new Realm of the Dao of the Sword.

From now on, the Sword Light Realm, the fourth Realm of the Dao of the Sword, will be divided into a brand new stage. Chief Jiang has pioneered the Dao of the Sword, a legendary figure like a founder of the Dao of the Sword, who will be recorded in the history of the long river of the Dao of the Sword, becoming a founding Ancestral Master.”

As soon as these words were spoken.

All the Disciples of Tianxuan Holy Land felt their scalps tingle.

Shock was visible on their faces.

Founder of the Dao of the Sword? Founding Ancestral Master? Famous for eternity?

Was this an achievement a Golden Core Cultivator could attain? Were they witnessing the legendary life of a peerless Great Grandmaster of the Dao of the Sword?

Years later, could they proudly tell their descendants: “That legendary figure of the Dao of the Sword you read about in history, I saw him with my own eyes and witnessed his legend”?

Hiss… As soon as this thought emerged.

The entire venue erupted in an uproar.

There was a strong impact, as if their spiritual core had been stimulated.

“Invincible Jiang!”

A Disciple with a flushed face couldn’t help but raise his arms and shout. This seemed to be a chain reaction, causing all the Disciples present to shout.

The three words “Invincible Jiang” became their most direct expression of Jiang Li.

Qin Wudao no longer had the spare thought to pay attention to these things. His gaze was fixed on the section of lightning and fire Sword Light in Jiang Li’s hand, and a hint of astonishment flashed in his calm eyes.

He was also a Sword Cultivator of the third Realm of the Dao of the Sword, so he naturally understood how Heaven-Defying the Fusion of elemental Sword Light truly was. This could no longer be described as merely brilliant; this was a talent of monumental proportions, surpassing all Sword Dao Geniuses of ancient and modern times, standing at the height of a founding Ancestral Master.

After all, he also knew that Jiang Li had created the entirely new Sword Dao Domain of Sword Light division, creating two entirely new Sword Dao Realms alone. Is this even human?

Even with his Seven Aperture Exquisite Heart, he wouldn’t dare say he could achieve it.

“No, I can’t let him use it.”

Qin Wudao’s thoughts were blank for less than three seconds before he fully recovered. His expression changed drastically, and the attacks condensed by his more than twenty spiritual bodies poured out frantically, attacking continuously without interruption.

The mountain where Jiang Li was located was completely submerged in attacks.

Explosions rose and fell.

The ferocity of the attacks plowed the mountain over and over again.

However… a brilliant Sword Light still shone brightly amidst the explosions, dazzling like the light of the sun, violent like the heart of thunder. Wherever the Sword Light passed, whether it was the fiery sun blade wheel, the ice mountain, or the scorching white lightning orb, they were all directly cut open as if they were solid objects, exploding in mid-air.

The power of the Sword Light, intertwined with flames and lightning, did not diminish in the slightest. Qin Wudao’s more than twenty spiritual bodies were all severed in an instant, and his Nascent Soul Dharma Idol also completely disintegrated under the sharpness of the Sword Light, its energy structure utterly shattered.

Qin Wudao violently spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He was struck as if by lightning, his Aura suddenly withered. His stable Nascent Soul Cultivation also became unstable at this moment. This single sword strike cut off a month of his Cultivation, returning him to the state he was in right after passing his Nascent Soul Tribulation. If it happened again, he estimated that his Cultivation would directly drop out of the Nascent Soul Stage.

“I, I surrender.”

Qin Wudao said with difficulty.

After speaking, he fell to the ground. This was not only due to his serious injuries but also because he was afraid, his Dao Heart unstable. He couldn’t imagine why Tianxuan Holy Land, no, it should be the Human Realm, would give birth to such a Prodigy.

Jiang Li’s existence made these Prodigies seem dim and relegated them to background characters.

At this moment.

The exclamations from the entire venue surged and fell.

Their voices shook the Nine Heavens.

After the Elder of Dao Law Peak gave Qin Wudao a few Medicinal Pills, he saw that their Holy Son Candidate’s eyes were vacant, looking like his Dao Heart had been severely impacted. He couldn’t help but let out a long sigh: “Alas, you don’t need to compare yourself to him. He is a legendary figure of the Dao of the Sword destined to be famous for eternity, an existence comparable to the founding Ancestral Master of the Dao Sect. If fighting at the same Realm, even the renowned Dao Son of the Dao Sect would likely not be his opponent. Losing to him is not unjust.”

Qin Wudao naturally understood this truth, but his heart still found it difficult to accept this fact.

He muttered to himself: He can defeat me, but he can’t just defeat me; otherwise, I’ll become a clown. He has to continue to defeat existences higher than me, such as Xuan Tianji, or figures like the Dao Son and Sword Son. With so many prominent Prodigies defeated by Jiang Li, his defeat will be insignificant, and it might even elevate his worth, as he is also an opponent of the same caliber who can contend with Jiang Li.

Thinking this way.

Qin Wudao’s thoughts instantly cleared up.

He stood up, staggering as he walked towards Jiang Li.

“Junior Brother Jiang, you won. You won beautifully. This technique of elemental Sword Light Fusion was unexpected not only by me but by all the Elders and Peak Masters present. However… this technique of yours can defeat me, and it can defeat Thunder Mountain, but it cannot defeat Xuan Tianji. His Great Evolution Star Technique can analyze the trajectory of your magical power within your body and discern all your methods before you even make a move. To defeat him, you need an even faster method; otherwise, the longer you drag it out, the more thoroughly you will be analyzed, and the less likely you will be to defeat him.”

Jiang Li raised an eyebrow.

This Qin Wudao’s Dao Heart was much better than Thunder Mountain’s; he still had the presence of mind to congratulate him even after losing.

However, the ability of Xuan Tianji that the other party mentioned made Jiang Li’s expression subtly change.

The True Immortal Rank Cultivation Technique “Star Transformation” that Xuan Tianji Cultivates is the most complex and difficult to Cultivate among all the supreme true Cultivation Techniques in Tianxuan Holy Land. It is said to have the ability to attract celestial bodies, and the Great Evolution Star Technique should be one of its profound Divine Abilities, allowing one to predict the opponent’s movements in advance, which is indeed troublesome.

However, if that’s the case, then the opponent is finished.

After all.

His strongest ability at the moment is speed.
