đź“– Chapter 1251 - Wooden Sword!
Chen Qingzi was incredibly strong, instantly breaking through both the spatial layers and the hand of strength. Although the latter was missing a finger and thus incomplete, for Chen Qingzi to slice through it and even cut off Master Never-Ending’s right arm with just a wooden sword was enough to show how horrifying he was.
However… Master Never-Ending seemed even more horrifying. Although the true body of a Never-Ending Clan member had three heads and six arms, losing an arm would still weaken them. But now, Master Never-Ending not only didn’t become weaker but became even stronger as his laughter spread through the starry sky.
“You are different from other Never-Ending Clan members.” Chen Qingzi’s eyes became cold as he stared at Master Never-Ending.
“Of course I’m different. The Never-Ending Clan never had a true body in the first place. The three-headed, six-armed form… is just a bloodline divine ability. And this bloodline divine ability… isn’t used as a replacement body. Instead, it’s… a way of releasing seals!
“Come, let’s see your limits. See if you can force me to release all my seals and reveal my true power!” The anticipation in Master Never-Ending’s eyes grew stronger, and his whole body suddenly erupted with dazzling light.
This light was similar to a rising sun, but it was more violent, making Master Never-Ending’s body seem like the sole source of light in the entire universe. As the light shone, it carried an indescribable sense of holiness.
This was… the Dao of Light and Radiance!
“How many Daos does Master Never-Ending cultivate?” Wang Baole narrowed his eyes, and Patriarch Seven Spirits’ expression became even grimmer. As they watched from the side, the light from Master Never-Ending’s body turned into a sea of radiance that exploded outward.
“I really have to thank your little junior brother for this. If not for his Sundered Night, I might have never known that the Light Dao could be used like this!” As Master Never-Ending laughed, the sea of light surged toward Chen Qingzi with heaven-shaking momentum.
A cold light flashed through Chen Qingzi’s eyes. He didn’t dodge and instead formed hand seals with his right hand, causing his wooden sword to instantly rush out.
“Second sword form!” It was just three words, but as soon as Chen Qingzi spoke, the wooden sword suddenly turned transparent!
When the transparent wooden sword met the sea of light, they passed right through each other. There was no sudden collision because transparency inherently embraced all things.
Thus, the transparent wooden sword slipped through the sea of light toward Master Never-Ending, and the sea of light also surged unobstructed toward Chen Qingzi.
Everything happened so fast that Wang Baole and Patriarch Seven Spirits could barely even see it. In an instant, a deafening boom erupted in all directions, and the starry sky at the point of contact completely collapsed, turning into a black hole. However, this black hole seemed to have lost all its suction force, unable to affect Chen Qingzi and Master Never-Ending in the slightest.
In any case, the sea of light really was impressive. As it surged toward Chen Qingzi, he was forced to retreat, but he wasn’t fast enough. The light quickly overtook him, sweeping over his body and filling the world with radiance. In an instant, black energy filled with the aura of death erupted from Chen Qingzi’s body, fighting against the bright light. Suddenly, Chen Qingzi halted and stopped retreating.
Instead, he rushed forward through the sea of light, letting the deathly aura in his body fight against it as he tore through the starry sky at a terrifying speed. He was even faster than his wooden sword, catching up in an instant and grabbing hold before slashing toward Master Never-Ending’s head at a speed far faster than previously.
This change was extremely sudden. Just a moment ago, Chen Qingzi seemed to have been struggling under the sea of light, but then broke out with speed beyond imagination. Even Master Never-Ending was taken by surprise.
“He was hiding his power!!” This thought had only just emerged in Master Never-Ending’s mind when Chen Qingzi arrived. The still-transparent wooden sword slashed down without any hesitation, carrying momentum that was even more powerful than before.
Obviously, the second sword form spoken of by Chen Qingzi didn’t just involve the wooden sword turning transparent. Chen Qingzi had indeed been hiding his power, and the wooden sword under his control was the same.
At this moment, overwhelming sword-light lit up the starry sky. Chen Qingzi flashed past Master Never-Ending, and Master Never-Ending’s head flew into the air as blood spurted from the stump of his neck.
And it didn’t end there. After passing by Master Never-Ending, Chen Qingzi didn’t turn around, but he did wave his wooden sword behind him, causing thousands of illusory swords to burst out. Each of these swords had terrifying power, and all of them pierced toward the headless Master Never-Ending.
However, these thousands of swords failed to display their true power, because… with a wave of Master Never-Ending’s left hand, numerous layers of space suddenly descended and formed a barrier.
But even so, the killing move Chen Qingzi had prepared for so long wouldn’t be so easily taken care of. The hundreds of spatial layers collapsed in an instant, and his left arm was sliced to pieces.
With this as the price, the thousands of swords faded away. At the same time, Master Never-Ending suddenly fell back. Black energy appeared on his neck, and a new head appeared. The left arm he had lost also regrew.
Moreover, this new left arm was surrounded by thunder and lightning, seeming much more powerful than before. But all of this was nothing compared to the new head.
As soon as this head appeared, the void rumbled and the starry sky shook. An incomparable evil erupted, filled with darkness and devil qi. Compared to the previous light and radiance, this darkness was even stronger.
Master Never-Ending’s aura also changed. His hair flew about wildly, his expression turned vicious, and his whole body exuded an endless wickedness. The black energy emanating from his body seemed to have the power to corrode anyone’s mind.
“Interesting!” Turning his head, Master Never-Ending revealed a ferocious grin as he looked at the somewhat gloomy Chen Qingzi. By now, Chen Qingzi could already tell what was going on.
Even Wang Baole and Patriarch Seven Spirits had figured out the truth at this moment.
Master Never-Ending had three heads and six arms. Each head contained a Great Dao, as did each arm. For example, the head Chen Qingzi had just severed contained the Dao of Light and Radiance. Meanwhile, this new head was partial to devilishness and contained the Dao of Darkness and Gloom.
As for his arms, the two that had been chopped off contained the Dao of Strength and Dao of Space. From the powerful lightning coming off of this new arm, it was obvious that it contained the Dao of Thunder.
All of this was secondary. The truly important point was the fact that each time Master Never-Ending lost a head or an arm, his cultivation base rose. It seemed that he really was undoing seals, and if this continued, then he would become impossible to defeat.
Wang Baole was silent for a moment before stepping forward. Patriarch Seven Spirits also moved after gritting his teeth. Originally, they had no intentions of participating in this battle, but in this current situation, no matter how negligible their help would be, they couldn’t just sit back and wait.
“Just stay there and watch!” As soon as the two of them stepped forward, Chen Qingzi suddenly spoke. Coldness flashed through his eyes as he looked at Master Never-Ending, and he waved his right hand.
“Third sword form!”
