Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 34
Chapter 34: The Seven Killing Monument
. The True Dragon’s Thunder Tribulation was so extensive that countless people were affected. A Golden Crow was sent flying by a single blow from the dragon’s tail, a member of the Dharma Realm was butted by a dragon’s horn, a member of the Sun Chaser Clan was struck by the thunder, leaving them charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and a Kunpeng was numbed by the electric shock in the sea…
Those affected also became angry. We were all in the late Foundation Establishment stage, so who was weaker than the other? What’s wrong? Only you two have such imaginative ideas, pretending to be the boss!
The Dharma Realm and Kunpeng exchanged glances, forming a temporary alliance.
The Dharma Realm grasped the Kunfish’s tail with both hands, spun twice in place, and then, using the momentum, swung it towards the True Dragon, directly breaking its horn.
Someone lifted mountains and threw them at the master of the Thunder Tribulation, only to be struck by the lightning, causing them to collapse and shatter.
“How can such a small mountain hurt me… Puff!”
Hidden among the mountains was a Golden Crow, rising like the sun into the sky, burning the master of the Thunder Tribulation’s shoulder!
Seeing the little guys’ flamboyant fight, Jiang Li fell into deep thought.
Was his own fighting style too bland, just a single punch? How about a bit of flair? A whole Xuanyuan Sword thing just for show?
Qi Sha Daozi frantically activated the Heaven-Severing Seven Killings Stele with his mind. Seven swords imbued with murderous energy slashed through space. He shouted, “Heaven created all things for man, but man has nothing to do with Heaven. Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!”
Qi Sha Daozi was particularly fond of the Heaven-Severing Seven Killings Stele and often collected related legends. Consequently, his imaginary Seven Killings Stele possessed immense power, resembling a genuine immortal artifact.
His imagination was based on his own understanding. He had only heard of the might of those who had reached the Tribulation Crossing Stage, but he had no idea how to break through. He could only imagine himself as a cultivator just entering the Fusion Stage, roughly the same level as Taoist Nun Xuan Ai, a rather exaggerated form of skill. Therefore, he was unable to unleash the true power of the Heaven-Severing Seven Killings Stele. Even so, a Fusion Stage cultivator wielding an immortal artifact was a formidable threat.
“Li Fugui, what are you doing with all that pretentiousness? Do you really think you’re the Seven Killings Taoist?” Qin Luan scoffed. He wasn’t imagining things, but instead constantly imagining what his own Golden Core would look like, and what kind of Golden Core would be best for him.
This alone would have him surpassing everyone present.
The Seven Killings Taoist, upon hearing Qin Luan still address him by his common name, flew into a rage. But then, seeing that Qin Luan was only at the Golden Core stage, he calmed down. As a great cultivator at the Fusion stage, why would he compete with a Golden Core cultivator?
He casually swung out a murderous sword intent, intending to sever Qin Luan’s interfering tongue!
“Seven Killings Taoist, how dare you!” Song Ying cried out, sending forth an illusory blue lotus to block the sword intent.
Jiang Li’s expression was quizzical, for Song Ying, now dressed in the Taoist robes of the Red Dust Pure Land and wielding the Blue Lotus as her weapon, bore a striking resemblance to the Pure Heart Saint.
Song Ying truly revered the Pure Heart Saint, and so, in her dreams, she took on her form. However, she had never seen her face, so she hid her pretty face with a veil to enhance her mysterious presence.
“Haha, why wouldn’t I dare?” Facing Song Ying, who had reached the Fusion Stage, the Seven Killings Daozi grew serious. Today, he would sever Qin Luan’s tongue. Even the Human Emperor couldn’t stop him. I say!
The Seven Killings Stele of the Heaven-Severing Seven Killings shone brightly, its sword energy radiating across a vast expanse. A real dragon grappling with the enemy shed several scales when struck, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains were severed in half, separating their peaks from their bases.
If even the collateral sword energy was so powerful, one could only imagine the might of the sword energy Song Ying and Qin Luan faced.
Song Ying used layers of Azure Lotus to protect them, but these weren’t the true power of the Pure Heart Saint, and their defenses were limited. Ultimately, they failed, and were blasted away by the Seven Killings sword energy.
Fortunately, the Azure Lotus protected Qin Luan, or else he would have been chopped to pieces by the boundless sword energy.
Jiang Li used his spiritual energy to neutralize the impact of Qin Luan and Song Ying, allowing them to land safely.
Qin Luan and Song Ying, realizing it was Jiang Li who had saved them, knew he was the Human Emperor and quickly bowed to thank him for saving their lives. Jiang
Li waved his hand, “It wasn’t really lifesaving. You can’t die in dreams.”
He thought for a moment and said, “But between life and death there are great fears and great opportunities. Perhaps I’d like to let you experience it once?”
Song Ying quickly declined, but Qin Luan seemed eager to try, as if he really wanted to experience death.
“Haha, just kidding. It’s best not to try something like this.”
“You’re really angry,” Jiang Li turned around and said to Qi Sha Dao Zi with a smile.
“Human Emperor Jiang.” Qi Sha Dao Zi bowed slightly, his attitude not particularly respectful. “I just wanted to test my potential.”
Qi Sha Dao Zi was the fifth to awaken. He knew Qin Luan, Li Li Tong, and Song Ying, and it was easy for him to identify the transformed Jiang Li as the Human Emperor.
Jiang Li sighed, returning to his normal self. “I shouldn’t have told Senior Meng the truth. So, you want to fight me?”
Jiang Li could see the eagerness in Qi Sha Dao Zi’s eyes.
“Please teach me, Human Emperor.”
Qi Sha Dao Zi took up his stance.
Qi Sha Dao Zi, now in the Fusion Stage and armed with the Seven Killings Stele, had easily defeated Song Ying and Qin Luan. He suddenly felt unmatched and was tempted to challenge Jiang Li.
Jiang Li wasn’t upset. It was normal for young people to be ignorant of their own limitations. He had encountered such a situation in his Foundation Establishment Stage, and he had dared to challenge the previous Human Emperor.
Moreover, he preferred being challenged to being treated with respect.
The Seven Killings Stele trembled slightly, and the sword energy released from it shattered even the air. For a moment, the area surrounding Qi Sha Dao Zi was reduced to a vacuum.
Fortunately, Qi Sha Dao Zi was in the Fusion Stage, able to complete his internal circulation without exchanging oxygen with the outside world, otherwise he would have suffocated to death.
The Seven Killings Stele transformed into seven immortal swords, hovering vertically beside the Seven Killings Daoist. The Daoist grasped one of the swords and shouted, “Kill!”
This strike was unpredictable, but Qin Luan, standing nearby, noticed that Jiang Li, while not moving forward, was steadily approaching the Daoist!
He instantly realized, and exclaimed, “This strike has severed the space between the Daoist and Emperor Jiang Renhuang, causing them to draw ever closer!”
What a sharp blade! Qin Luan knew little about the Seven Killings Stele; he had no idea it could transform into seven immortal swords, let alone the legend of it severing a corner of the immortal realm!
Jiang Li faced the strike without flinching. He extended his thumb and index finger, gently grasping the Seven Killings Sword as if it were a goose feather.
The Daoist stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he saw.
According to his idea, if not to injure Jiang Renhuang, at least put him under some pressure. How could he grasp the immortal sword so easily?
This was the immortal sword transformed from the Seven Killings Stele!
“Well, it’s quite something. An ordinary cultivator in the Fusion Stage can’t block this sword, but it would be difficult to injure a cultivator in the Tribulation Stage, let alone me.”
Jiang Li commented, exerting force with two fingers and throwing the immortal sword and the stunned Seven Killings Taoist behind him.
