Chapter 1468 The Nine Tribulations Sword: Celestial Phenomenon!

Chu Yang wielded the sword gracefully as he moved. For a moment there, a huge sense of heroic and lofty sentiments actually welled up in him.

He felt as if he and the Nine Tribulations Sword in his hand had merged as one. It was a feeling of perfect harmony, as if in this instant, the man was the sword and the sword was the man.

As such, despite not using his internal energy when wielding the sword, the ingenuity and profoundness, as well as all the subtle and fine details of the sword moves played smoothly and crystal clear in his mind. Nothing escaped his attention!

Chu Yang processed the very last bit of profound ingenuity of the sword technique in his mind and retracted his sword, returning to an upright stance. Just as he did, all 28 sword moves of the Nine Tribulations Sword Technique played in his mind one by one.

Slowly, they linked together.

Chu Yang’s eyes became brighter and brighter, holding his breath for a considerably long moment. When the last move —’One understands the taciturn soul only after much hardships’— flashed across his mind, Chu Yang suddenly sensed a wave of strong and powerful energy abruptly gush out of the Nine Tribulations Sword.

It entered his meridians and his Dantian.

And then, within his Dantian, the power of the dragon and phoenix was also triggered. All of a sudden, his meridians went into an uproar and he felt as though he was about to explode.

Chu Yang could only sense that there was a stream of energy constantly flowing into his body and his meridians, endless and ceaseless. They were like surging torrential waves, without any end in sight. Gradually, he felt as if all the meridians running throughout his body had swelled, as if wanting his body to burst.

It seemed like he had had a breakthrough again but at this point, Chu Yang no longer had the leisure to check what kind of breakthrough it was. He simply felt pained and agonized!

This must stop at once!

But he couldn’t stop it!

The power of the Nine Tribulations Sword and the power of the dragon and phoenix spirit essence were still surging into him continuously!

At last, he felt like he was seeing stars. He wanted to shout yet he couldn’t. All of a sudden, a thundering boom resounded in his Dantian, as if it had exploded.

A low sigh escaped Chu Yang’s lips and he collapsed to the ground, knocked out cold.

Outside, Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong were still in a coma. Everyone else stayed by their side, watching over them and waiting.

Holding his hands behind his back, Mo Tianji paced to and fro at the side. His expression was relaxed, with a vague hint of a smile on the corners of his lips.

Every once in a while, Mo Qingwu’s big round eyes would look in the direction where Chu Yang had disappeared in before looking away. But a short while later, they would dart back there again.

In the end, she shifted her sitting position. Resting her cheeks in her hands, she stared in that direction as she waited for Chu Yang to return.

…

A long while later, eight hours had already gone by. The sky brightened — Another night had passed.

But Ao Xieyun and Rui Butong were still comatose, their bodies not moving at all.

At the side, everyone was absorbed in their cultivation. Nobody had discovered anything amiss, so all of them remained where they were.

Mo Tianji, however, was starting to feel rather uneasy.

His brows slowly furrowed as he mused to himself — Perhaps searching for the Nine Tribulations Sword needed a lot of time, but Chu Yang had always been prudent and steady in his way of handling things. He would never let the brothers wait idly like this.

If he really needed a lot of time, Chu Yang would definitely come back halfway to notify them.

Yet he didn’t.

Surely he didn’t meet with any trouble inside?

Mo Tianji was filled with worry, but naturally, he didn’t bring it up. On the contrary, he needed to act in an increasingly relaxed manner so that the others wouldn’t worry.

It was already afternoon!

Chu Yang still hadn’t returned.

Mo Tianji took a deep breath. At last, he could be sure — Something must have gone wrong.

He was about to issue the order for the brothers to go in and investigate when all of a sudden, just as he was about to open his mouth, darkness suddenly enveloped the world!

Mo Tianji’s brows drew together.

All the brothers were rather astonished, opening their eyes one by one.

And then, they saw something that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

A ray of prismatic light, as though a huge multi-colored dragon, shot out with great force from inside the cave. When it passed them by, it even circled one round before it rushed out with a roar!

At the mouth of the cave, Yue Lingxue had been sitting there calmly and steadily all this while. As long as the people inside didn’t call for help, he would continue to watch over them here.

In that instant where the sky darkened, Yue Lingxue suddenly narrowed his eyes, as if he could sense that something that would shock and frighten the world was about to happen…

And then, he saw a ray of multi-colored light, long and meandering like a dragon, shooting up from underground to the outside.

As Yue Lingxue ducked out of the way, that ray of light rushed out of the mouth of the cave and shot up into the pitch-black sky!

One must understand that it was actually noon at this point, yet the sky had strangely turned dark. This was already an extremely odd incident in itself.

This moment was actually as though the gods in the heavens had set off fireworks as the ray of prismatic light suddenly shot outwards.

Prismatic light shot high up into the sky and straight into the clouds. As it charged higher and higher, it actually also became bigger and bigger! Bit by bit, the center of the sky turned into multi-colored hues.

Music so ethereal and fantasy-like, as though illusory, suddenly rang out.

All those who heard it couldn’t tell at all whether this fascinating and intriguing music was actually coming from inside their own minds? Or from the heavens? They couldn’t even put this feeling into words. In fact, all of them felt as if they were dreaming.

The multi-colored sky churned and swirled before it slowly separated into seven rays of light.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and purple.

They were split into seven colors of the purest shades. Spanning across the sky of the Nine Heavens, each ray of light was 1,000 feet wide and 10,000 feet long!

One could see that in the space outside, the sky was still totally black!

Seven rays of light covered the area between heaven and earth, standing tall and upright, brilliant and mighty. Only after a while did they slowly start to move.

With a flash, the red light transformed into an arrowhead, just like the tip of a sword. Just that in comparison to the average sword, it was billions of times larger. After that, the blue light transformed into the sword spine, the indigo light into the sword edge, the orange light into the sword crossguard, the green light into the sword hilt, the purple light into the sword tang and the yellow light into the sword pommel!

High up in the sky, they actually demonstrated the formation process of the Nine Tribulations Sword once more!

At this moment, everyone in the entire continent was watching with their eyes widened and their heads raised.

There was no information or any prompt to indicate what sword this was, but everyone in the world understood this clearly in their hearts — This was the Nine Tribulations Sword!

The master of the Nine Heavens!

At last, after the Nine Tribulations Sword formed, it slowly circled one round in mid-air. Then, with the sword tip pointing toward the heavens and the sword pommel toward the earth, it stood upright high up in the pitch-black sky, just like the blazing sun in the sky, brilliant and dazzling!

It lingered just like that for a short while. Then, the sword suddenly started to move, accelerating as it launched straight up into the boundless sky!

As it rose higher and higher, its speed also became faster and faster!

At last, it came into contact with that vast expanse of darkness in the sky. Without even a lingering moment, the Nine Tribulations Sword ripped the veil of darkness apart with the air of one smashing through all obstacles in his way, and rose straight up.

Everywhere it passed by, the darkness in the sky was shattered into pieces, slowly dispersing all around!

By the time the Nine Tribulations Sword ascended to an unknown height in the sky, the world had already returned to a state of brightness, blue skies and bright daylight reinstated.

However, the Nine Tribulations Sword continued to fly upwards. At last, it slowly vanished into the distance.

Unlike all the previous times, large text didn’t appear in the sky this time. Everything went on in silence.

The entire process was as if it was a pantomime.

But everyone understood the meaning behind it.

When the Nine Tribulations Sword comes forth, who can compare?

When the Nine Tribulations Sword comes forth, all in its way shall be destroyed!

When the Nine Tribulations Sword comes forth, it shall cleave the world apart!

Indeed, even without an explanation, everyone recognized this!
