Chapter 399: Chapter 346: Celestial Dharma Domain

Translator: 549690339

The confrontation between Pei Xuanjing and Empress Wu just made them realize that they could not intervene in this battle, or in other words, they didn’t qualify to intervene.

Their gazes clashed, each shifting their focus onto their recent adversaries, and so the fight resumed.

The smoke cleared, and Pei Xuanjing and Empress Wu stood facing each other.

The terrifying aftermath of their earlier clash had almost eradicated everything. It could be said that within a circumference of several miles around the palace, where the two of them were standing, only the Palace of Myriad Images behind Empress Wu were left undamaged, while the rest of the palaces and buildings had all been destroyed, reducing the area to ruins.

Pei Xuanjing stood on a collapsed pillar, holding the Longevity Sword upside down, his gaze calmly resting on Empress Wu in the distance.

The terrifying confrontation just before posed no threat to Empress Wu. She remained uninjured, with not a speck of dust on her clothes, still emanating an air of elegance.

Emperor Wu stood in the air, eyes filled with a subtle surprise, looking down from above like a sovereign, “You’ve given me a big surprise. I had thought that the biggest obstacle would be Ye Daoyuan, but I never thought it would be you.”

To Empress Wu, the person most likely to stop her from carrying out this plan was always thought to be Ye Daoyuan. After all, this man renowned as the best in the world had held sway over the world for decades, his reputation well established in people’s hearts.

Even though Pei Xuanjing had been rising and accomplishing things that left many dumbstruck, Empress Wu never really took him seriously or considered him as an opponent.

The same was true even after Pei Xuanjing defeated the Red Sun Martial Venerate ten years ago.

However, the power that Pei Xuanjing exhibited at this moment far exceeded her expectations. This undoubtedly surprised her.

“In that case, it’s my honor,” came the voice of Pei Xuanjing.

A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes as he asked, “In truth, there’s one thing I don’t understand. With the Empress in such a realm, having grasped the mysteries of Heavenly People, why not break through the void, transform into a Celestial Human, ascend and leave? Why insist on lingering here?”

Becoming a Celestial Human is everyone’s pursuit. Compared to the realm of Heavenly Human, power is truly trivial.

Moreover, as soon as Pei Xuanjing entered the half-step Heavenly Being, he could feel that the realm of Heavenly Human was already the strongest power this world could accommodate. Anyone entering the Heavenly Human Realm would be suppressed by Heaven and Earth, just like how Pei Xuanjing’s current strength could far surpass a half-step Heavenly Human, but he couldn’t show his superior power, as that would lead to the expulsion and suppression of Heaven and Earth.

The situation faced by Empress Wu in front of him was no different. She had already kicked down the mysteries of Heavenly Human. Even without active cultivation, as time went on, her realm would continue to grow, until she eventually transformed into Heavenly Human and ascended.

Meanwhile, during this period, Empress Wu would be under the scrutiny of Heaven and Earth as well. She couldn’t display her Heavenly Human power for a long time, otherwise, the Door of Celestial would inevitably descend and force her to ascend and become a Celestial Human. If she refused, she would be rejected by Heaven and Earth, which would bring about calamities from Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, even if she ascended to the throne, she probably wouldn’t be Emperor for long. In the end, her fate would inevitably be to ascend and leave this world.

Upon hearing Pei Xuanjing’s words, a hint of cunning flashed in Empress Wu’s eyes and she smiled, “So, you’ve also sensed this realm. No wonder.”

Only someone like this Sword Saint who has experienced the attention of Heaven and Earth would know so much.

As for the doubts raised by Pei Xuanjing, she didn’t feel like answering. She simply shook her head lightly and spat out a few cold words: “You don’t understand.”

You don’t understand!

Since she was unwilling to explain, Pei Xuanjing, who wasn’t the kind to pry too deeply out of curiosity, flipped his wrist and said coldly, “It doesn’t matter if I don’t understand. I’m already very pleased to have the opportunity to duel with the Empress, who is a Heavenly Human.”

The Shenxiao Origin Qi within his body surged out recklessly. His clothes fluttered without wind, the qi was unstable, and in just a moment, six colors—green, red, yellow, white, black, and purple—covered the Longevity Sword.

At this moment, this Ten Thousand-Forged Divine Weapon in his hand, which was originally incomparably sharp, had been tempered by him for ten years, and had developed some semblance of spirituality, emitting a humming sound of sword resonance.

Under the corrosion of this Qi, it emitted a dreadful aura, its sharpness was so intense that it could tear through space just by the sword qi it emitted.

Pei Xuanjing announced loudly: “I request that the Empress enlighten me!”

As soon as the words fell, he slowly raised his sword. His movements were slow and his sword moves unremarkable, yet the aura emanated from his body continually ascended. The Shenxiao Origin Qi pervaded all directions—green, red, yellow, white, black, and purple—imbuing the sky and covering several miles around with these six colors. The sky above the palace city seemed to be enveloped by these six hues.

The sky, originally manipulated by Empress Wu, underwent another transformation. The Nine Luminaries radiated dazzling light, and almost everyone could see dense stardust falling from these nine stars towards Pei Xuanjing.

The First Sword: Nine Luminaries.

Pei Xuanjing’s eyes were filled with battle spirit. The Longevity Sword in his hand roared violently. As he slashed the sword, countless starlights illuminated, and thunder roared.

The slash of the sword was like the downfall of the Nine Heavens Milky Way, overwhelming and surging, causing a tumultuous surge of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi spurred by the boundless Shenxiao Origin Qi.

The stunning sword light seemed like a dragon’s roar and a tiger’s howl echoing throughout the palace city, leaving numerous people astounded.

“This strike isn’t bad, but it’s still far from enough to deal with me.”

Faced with such a terrifying sword strike, Empress Wu showed no fear. A smile emerged on the corner of her mouth and she spoke indifferently.

Boom!

A fierce momentum burst out from her, followed by purple-golden Primordial Qi swirling out, instantly permeating all around her.

Purple-golden Primordial Qi spread within a radius of several miles, seemingly dyeing Heaven and Earth purple-gold. The purple-golden Primordial Qi condensed into countless purple-gold lotus flowers, covering the sky.

Empress Wu then quietly stood on the largest lotus platform amid the sea of lotus flowers, and what was most surprising was that a shadow of Buddha, who bore a remarkable resemblance to Empress Wu, flickered in and out of view.

The sword light from Pei Xuanjing’s slash descended, and its terrifying power made those lotus flowers vibrate and flutter, with countless lotus flowers turning into powder. Unfortunately, this sword strike didn’t last long. Before it could approach the lotus platform where Empress Wu was, it had exhausted all its power and disappeared into nothingness.

“Celestial Dharma Domain!” Pei Xuanjing felt the power contained in this magical domain, and couldn’t help but say in a deep voice.

Through ten years of cultivation, Pei Xuanjing’s strength had improved. The power of his swordplay naturally had increased immeasurably. If he were to face off against the Red Sun Martial Venerate again, he could easily shatter the latter’s Magic Domain.

It could be said that under his sword, almost no one’s Magic Domain could survive.
