Only at the Mahayana Stage Does the Reversal System Appear - Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Ancient and Modern Sword

lives up to its name. The Other Mountain Stone is merely a small pebble, yet it is a first-rate immortal weapon for attack. Any thrown is guaranteed to strike. Even in his fusion stage, Master Mo, armed with the Other Mountain Stone, was invincible. Zhang Konghu, renowned for his physical cultivation, would have been nearly dead from a direct hit.

Yet Ji Zhi was utterly unafraid.

Facing the incoming Other Mountain Stone, he gently swung his sword, and the Other Mountain Stone instantly slowed to a crawl. By the time it reached Ji Zhi, it was no longer a threat.

“Is this… the power of time?” Saint Pure Heart hesitated. She had heard of the Ancient and Modern Sword. It was a fishbone sword forged from the remains of the Ji family’s ancestor, a fish from the River of Time and Space, during his ascension. The sword could influence time and space, but she had no idea how to apply it.

“Yes, his strike disrupted the Stone’s own time and space, sending it flying for years. The Stone’s momentum was exhausted, but due to its inherent ability to strike its enemy, it could only continue its flight towards Ji Zhi.” Jiang Li saw more clearly than the Pure Heart Saint. The strike seemed ordinary, yet its power was truly terrifying.

While Island Master Mo was retracting the Stone, Ji Zhi charged forward and slashed at him with a barrage of swords. As soon as

Island Master Mo dodged one strike, another, as if anticipated, struck him. This repeated pattern, leaving her with numerous wounds.

Frowning, she gazed into Ji Zhi’s eyes, suddenly realizing that this wasn’t the Ancient and Modern Sword’s power, but rather Ji Zhi’s double pupils, which allowed him to see the future. This was the reason his swordsmanship had struck her with a sense of prophecy.

Realizing the reason, she realized that a close combat with Ji Zhi would only put her at a disadvantage. She distanced herself and hurled the Stone again.

The Stone, with its power transforming into a million, blocked Ji Zhi’s path, forcing him to endure.

Unexpectedly, Ji Zhi held his sword in both hands, shielding his chest. As the tens of thousands of rocks hurtling toward him suddenly slowed, it was as if a circle had been carved out, centered around Ji Zhi, within which time stretched infinitely.

Suddenly, a sword aura emerged from Island Master Mo’s location. Unable to dodge, she was wounded. She instinctively moved, only to be struck again in her new location.

Wherever Island Master Mo moved, the inescapable sword aura would appear out of nowhere!

“Island Master Mo, how powerful is the Ancient and Modern Sword?” Ji Zhi, holding the fishbone sword, smiled faintly, unsurprised by what Island Master Mo had encountered.

“The double pupils and the Ancient and Modern Sword are a perfect match!” Island Master Mo exclaimed in admiration. She understood Ji Zhi’s tactics, but hadn’t yet devised a countermeasure.

The rocks hadn’t fully demonstrated their power, and she continued to be wounded by the Ancient and Modern Sword. At this point, Island Master Mo knew she had already lost.

The battle had been frustrating, but a loss was a loss, and she accepted it.

The sword energy didn’t damage the root, which was already Ji Zhi’s kindness.

“What’s going on?” The Pure Heart Saint asked, not understanding what Ji Zhi had done.

Jiang Li chuckled, “I’ve suffered a similar loss before. Ji Zhi anticipated the challenge and used his double pupils to predict the challenger’s location, time, and time. He then used the Ancient and Modern Sword to release a stream of sword energy. The sword energy that was left behind only now reappears, which is also the power of the Ancient and Modern Sword.”

“Island Master Mo lost because he wasn’t familiar with the Ancient and Modern Sword. Other rocks can attack anything, shatter space, and strike the River of Time. If Island Master Mo knew the power of the Ancient and Modern Sword, he could use other rocks to strike the River of Time, causing ripples and plunging the future into chaos. The power of the double pupils and the Ancient and Modern Sword would be greatly reduced.”

Jiang Li briefly explained Island Master Mo’s method of victory, earning the admiration of everyone on the stage.

“Dragon King of the East Sea, come and fight!”

Now, only the Ruyi Gourd of the Tianyuan Dynasty and the Dragon Ball of the Four Seas remained, and everyone thought it was the Tianyuan Empress challenging him.

Unexpectedly, Empress Tianyuan frowned. Although she intended to challenge the Dragon King of the East China Sea, she hadn’t yet made her announcement.

Clad in her imperial robes, Empress Tianyuan exuded majesty and dignity. Though a strikingly beautiful woman, upon first sight, no one would be struck by her beauty, but rather by her aura of superiority.

“Dragon King of the East China Sea, fight!” the celestial being repeated, and everyone realized it was Island Master Mo who was shouting.

Although admitting defeat, Island Master Mo grew increasingly furious, desiring a proper fight to vent his anger.

The East China Sea Dragon King, clad in a green robe and possessing a human body and a dragon head, grimace in his face, accepted the challenge.

Others might not understand Island Master Mo’s strength, but he did.

Of the six great sects, only Penglai Immortal Island was located overseas, in the Four Seas, and its relationship with the Dragon Palace was a constant presence.

Without any magical artifacts, Mo Ruoyu could defeat two Dragon Kings alone. With all of them, Mo Ruoyu could defeat four.

The Four Seas Dragon Kings sometimes thought, “We’re all divine beasts, so why not just merge with the Bai Ze Dynasty? The humans are being too much of a bully!” “

No, no, no, I can’t think like that. I’m no longer the Dragon King I once was. I’m now the leader of the Four Seas Dragon Kings, the Dragon King of the East Sea, having cultivated the Jiang Li Human Emperor Power!” My brothers let me take the stage because they believe I, the eldest brother, can lead the Four Seas to glory!

The Dragon King of the East Sea felt a surge of confidence at this thought. He’d never fought Mo Ruoyu since cultivating the Jiang Li Human Emperor Power, so today was the perfect time to make a splash!

…

The Dragon King of the East Sea was losing miserably, as Bai Hongtu stuffed the Great Rejuvenating Pill into his mouth like it was free.

The Dragon King of the East Sea thought, “Mo Ruoyu never hit me this hard before. This time, maybe he felt like he had Dao Zong’s Great Rejuvenating Pill backing him up, so he might as well go for it.”

“That old Dragon King has gotten stronger!” Mo Ruoyu frowned as she returned to the stands. Although she had defeated the East Sea Dragon King, she could sense he was indeed stronger than before. The dragon race was known for its physical strength, and the East Sea Dragon King was now even more sturdy.

With her immortal weapon, she could probably only defeat three Dragon Kings now.

“Is ‘Jiang Li’s Human Emperor Power’ so effective?” As a neighbor of the Dragon Palace, Mo Ruoyu had also heard that the dragon race was secretly cultivating their bodies. She glanced at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li felt like he was being watched.

“Big Brother, even with four dragon balls, couldn’t stop his mountain rocks.”

“Luckily it was Big Brother who went up.”

“Yes, yes, otherwise we’d be lying there.”

The other three Dragon Kings murmured in the audience. The opportunity to refine an immortal weapon was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so of course they had to come, but they couldn’t do it openly. If they did, Big Brother would end up like them.

As Big Brother, of course, he had to take the lead in the beating.

To be fair, the Dragon Balls’ defensive power is incredibly impressive. Even with four Dragon Balls, the East Sea Dragon King still got beaten badly. That’s because his rock-like ability to strike with one strike negates the Dragon Balls’ defenses. Even Bai Hongtu, even at the Tribulation Crossing stage, wouldn’t be able to defeat the Dragon Balls.

Immortal artifacts counteract each other, there’s nothing you can do about it.

“Look, the Yin-Yang Heavenly Seal has changed!”
