At this moment, the Divine Sword of the Celestials could only absorb the swords of the martial artists below, but gradually, swords from even farther places came soaring through the air.
Jiang Yu’s pupils transmitted a strong sense of foreboding. The Eight Desolation and Six Harmony Seal slowly lifted:
“Subdue!”
The small seal floated in the air, and the void reverberated with rumbling sounds, expanding again as if about to crush everything beneath it with overwhelming power.
It slowly descended.
Under its heavy aura, he felt like Sun Wukong being pressed down by Mount Tai, unable to escape no matter where he went.
Li Mo still felt heavy, but due to his recent breakthrough, his Consciousness Soul had been suppressed significantly.
He did not dodge but instead infused his body with world energy and punched out.
“?”
Jiang Yu felt absurd. Could someone really use their physical body to clash head-on with a divine weapon?
But at that moment, golden light appeared.
A thin layer, yet it gave an impression of invincibility.
Clang—
The collision between the physical body and the divine weapon caused the small seal, which carried the nation’s fortune, to shake violently and stop advancing.
Li Mo exhaled, even though his Eight Trigram Exercises had reached a higher level, his arm might break this time. Fortunately, the Vajra Body was a supernatural ability, not something to be judged by martial arts principles.
In the next second, sword light filled the sky.
Jiang Yu controlled the Eight Desolation and Six Harmony Seal while holding the Zunlong Sword and thrusting towards him.
This instant coincided with the disappearance of the golden light.
Li Mo held the Eight Desolation and Six Harmony Seal with one hand and gripped the sword tip tightly with the other. The strange silver blade released by the bone-like structure revolved around his palm like a parasite.
The True Dragon body carried the nation’s fortune, and its strength was not inferior to his!
“Hurry up, it’s still not enough…”
Li Mo glanced at the sky.
With the perception of having a sword in mind despite not holding one, he sensed more resonant fluctuations coming from the Imperial Capital.
…
Below, Murong Xiao shouted loudly:
“I’ll help you!”
He felt the excitement from the broken sword at his waist and threw it without hesitation.
Some of those who were hesitant onlookers also relaxed their grip on their weapons.
Buzz… buzz…
Xie Xuan leaned back slightly, tightly clutching the ancestor’s wooden sword, almost losing control.
Divine weapons have spirits, and so does the ancestor’s sword. It loves chivalrous deeds.
“Li Mo is fighting the Crown Prince. Is it reasonable for you to intervene? It’s unreasonable. If you are so powerful and end up killing the Crown Prince, what will happen?”
“What? You say Pure Spring Sword must always help out no matter who is fighting?”
“How can you listen to the young Divine Sword of the Celestials…”
Xie Xuan was sweating profusely, trying to persuade them.
Farther away…
…
Inside the inner city of the Imperial Capital, at the Southern King’s residence.
A box high on a shelf started trembling faintly.
The eunuch wanted to approach but suddenly felt a chill, rushing out to the courtyard.
“My lord, there is a box in your study. Could it contain some evil creature?”
“No need to worry.”
Zhong Qin stood in front of the sand table, not looking up.
“But…”
Before the eunuch could finish, a loud explosion came from behind.
A white ribbon shot through the air, making a crisp sound as it soared into the sky.
Zhong Qin finally looked up, gazing at the place where the sword light had vanished, reminiscing.
Once upon a time…

The sword also bore his youthful vigor. Later, when his family declined, he had to join the military to find a way out for the large manor. Before leaving, he put this sword away.
He had long learned to be cautious and refuse.
But how could he bear to refuse the young self of his past?
“Young man’s vigor…” Zhong Qin sighed silently.
—
Sword lights converged, replacing clouds and swirling in the sky to form magnificent scenes, while also brewing terrifying energies.
Venerable Huankong seemed to feel something and looked toward the depths of the imperial city.
“With me here, there won’t be any trouble. No need to bother several benefactors.”
That mysterious gaze seemed to hear his words, still watching the scene but not interfering.
Following the lead of the Divine Sword of the Celestials, they formed a long rainbow and rushed down together.
The river of swords was vast and imposing.
Jiang Yu felt a chill all over. He no longer cared about Li Mo.
Facing the river of swords led by the Divine Sword of the Celestials, it was already within reach.
He poured all the nation’s fortune he carried into the Eight Desolation and Six Harmony Seal, intending to use the power of authority to make them retreat.
But would a young, reckless person listen to these reasons?
Even Li Mo himself, who wielded the Divine Sword of the Celestials, had reached a point of no return!
In the next moment.
The tip of the Divine Sword of the Celestials stabbed onto the Eight Desolation and Six Harmony Seal.
Some sword qi dissipated, while others penetrated downward. Jiang Yu used the Sword Bone to absorb them, hoping to neutralize their power with its extraordinary properties.
The buzzing sound never ceased.
Sharp qi scattered everywhere, causing the barriers formed by the principle of containing the universe to shake violently.
“Who won?”
Everyone wondered, stubbornly keeping their eyes open and continuing to look at the stage.
However, the small seal, once solid and steady, turned dim after a moment of silence, as a faint aura dispersed in a certain direction.
The Eight Desolation and Six Harmony Seal fell heavily, clattering a few times.
Both of them remained standing on the field.
Li Mo was barely standing, his body signaling its limits from sustaining world energy for a long time, and his Consciousness Soul appearing somewhat dim. Using two divine techniques nearly drained him.
Jiang Yu remained standing there, his face expressionless.
“…”
After a moment of silence, Li Mo helplessly said, “Don’t force yourself. Do I have to knock you down?”
“It seems… you’ve seen through it.”
Jiang Yu seemed to let go of the last bit of breath, his pupils dilating.
“Your hammer technique is indeed excellent.”
As he spoke, he fell backward helplessly.
Li Mo: “?”
d*mn, even losing still talking nonsense!
Wasn’t all that effort wasted on expressions?
However, he couldn’t kick Jiang Yu while he was down, as someone had already supported him, checking his injuries and taking out heavenly treasures.
Apart from that, the entire venue was very quiet.
On the palace roof.
Emperor Jingtai had already risen.
He looked deeply at Li Mo, as if he had walked for a long time in the darkness and finally saw a faint glow.
Tian Miao took out a small notebook from her pocket and wrote silently.
[Li Mo advanced both his realm and sword technique to new heights, narrowly defeating the top contender Jiang Yu at the Qianlong Conference.]
[Master, should we give him a nickname?]
