Chapter 53: Past and Present Sword

Translator: 549690339

Just as its name suggested, Mount Heshan Stone was a mere pebble. Yet, it was a top-tier immortal artifact weapon with a unique quality: every object thrown would invariably hit its target. The holder of Mount Heshan Stone, Lord MO of the Body Integration Realm, was an invincible existence. Even Zhang Konghu, famous for his Body Cultivation, could be mortally injured by being hit directly with it.

Nevertheless, Ji Zhi was not afraid in the slightest.

Faced with the incoming Mount Heshan Stone, Ji Zhi gently swung his sword. The speed of the stone immediately slowed, and by the time it reached Ji Zhi, it no longer posed any threat.

“Is this… the power of time?” the Saintess of Pure Heart uttered hesitantly. She had heard of the great reputation of the Past and Present Sword. The sword was a fishbone weapon refined from the molt of their ancestor, the fish in the river of time and space, during its ascension. It had the power to influence time and space, but how exactly it was applied, she had no clue.

“Yes, he disrupted the time and space surrounding the Mount Heshan Stone with this stroke, causing it to fly for several years. The Mount Heshan Stone, having run out of momentum but still determined to hit its target due to its nature, could only continue flying towards Ji Zhi.” Jiang Li saw clearer than the Saintess of Pure Heart. This swing seemed unremarkable, but it conveyed something truly terrifying.

Taking advantage of the time Lord MO spent retrieving her Mount Heshan Stone, Ji Zhi rushed forward and repeatedly hacked at her with his sword.

Just as Lord MO dodged a stroke, another, seemingly predicted cut, arrived. This occurred several times in succession, causing her to sustain many sword injuries.

She frowned at Ji Zhi’s eyes and suddenly realized. It was not the doing of the Past and Present Sword, but rather Ji Zhi’s double pupils that could foresee the future, causing his swordsmanship to be so prophetic that it hit her directly every time.

Having realized this, she understood that engaging Ji Zhi in close combat would be to her disadvantage, so she put some distance between them and once again threw out the Mount Heshan Stone.

Mount Heshan Stone split into thousands, completely blocking Ji Zhi’s access to all directions, leaving him no choice but to take it head-on.

Unexpectedly, Ji Zhi held the sword with both hands across his chest. The thousands of high-speed approaching Mount Heshan Stones suddenly slowed down as they approached him. As if forming an area with Ji Zhi at the center, within this domain, time seemed to be infinitely stretched.

Suddenly, a sword Qi appeared out of nowhere at the position where Lord MO stood. Unable to avoid it in time, she was hurt by the sword Qi and instinctively tried to move to a new position, only to be cut off once more.

No matter where Lord MO went, the unerasable Sword Qi would appear out of thin air!

“How do you like the power of the Past and Present Sword, Lord MO?” Ji Zhi, holding the Fishbone Sword, slightly smiled, not surprised at all by Lord Mo’s predicament.

“Double pupils and the Past and Present Sword really make a perfect match!” Lord MO exclaimed. She understood Ji Zhi’s tactics, but currently could not figure out any countermeasures.

The power of Mount Heshan Stone had not been fully utilized and continued to be counteracted by the Past and Present Sword. At this point, Lord MO knew she had lost.

The fight was frustrating, but a loss was a loss. She accepted the outcome.

The sword qi had not injured her fundamentals, which was Ji Zhi showing mercy.

“What just happened?” Saintess Pure Heart couldn’t understand what Ji Zhi had done.

Jiang Li chuckled lightly: “I also learned such a painful lesson. Ji Zhi anticipated the challenge long ago. He used the double pupils to foresee who the challenger would be, and when and where it would be. Then he used the Past and Present Sword to leave a Sword Qi in that future position. The Sword Qi left in the past only manifested now. That too is a capability of the Past and Present Sword.”

“Lord MO lost because she was not familiar with the Past and Present Sword. Mount Heshan Stone can attack everything, break through space, and strike the course of time. If Lord MO knew the capability of the Past and Present Sword, she could have used Mount Heshan Stone to strike the course of time, causing ripples in time. The future would become chaotic, and the power of the Double Pupils and Past and Present Sword would be greatly reduced.”

In a few words, Jiang Li explained the strategy that could have won Lord MO the fight, impressing everyone on the stage.

“East Sea Dragon King, let’s fight!”

Now the only ones left to compete were the Wish-fulfilling Gourd of the Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty and the Dragon Balls of the Four Seas. Everyone initially thought that the Tianyuan Empress was challenging.

However, to everyone’s surprise, the Tianyuan Empress frowned. Although she indeed intended to challenge the East Sea Dragon King, she hadn’t spoken out yet.

Even though she admitted her loss, the more Lord MO thought about it, the angrier she got. She wanted a good fight to let off steam.

The East Sea Dragon King, dressed in a green robe with a human body and dragon-like face, reluctantly went onto the battlefield with a bitter expression on his face.

People might not understand Lord MO’s abilities, but he certainly did.

Among the six major sects, only Penglai Fairy Island was based overseas, within the Four Seas, hence their relationship with the Dragon Palace was quite close.

If everyone won without using their immortal artifact, MO Ruoyu could fight against two dragon kings by herself. When they each used their Immortal Artifacts, MO Ruoyu could take on four.

From time to time, the Four Sea Dragon Kings thought, since we’re all divine beasts, why not merge with the White Marsh Emperor Dynasty? These humans are just too oppressive!

No, no, this can’t be right. I can’t think like this. I’m not the same dragon king as before. Now, I am the East Sea Dragon King, the leader of the Four Sea Dragon Kings who has cultivated the “Jiang Li Human Emperor Strength”. My brothers trust me to lead them to glory!

Having thought this through, the East Sea Dragon King suddenly found the strength to go on. After cultivating “Jiang Li Human Emperor Strength”, he had never battled with MO Ruoyu before. Today was the perfect opportunity to make his mark!

The East Sea Dragon King lost disastrously, with Bai Hongtu stuffing Giant Restoration Elixirs into his mouth like candy.

At this time, the East Sea Dragon King was thinking that usually MO Ruoyu didn’t hit him this hard. Could it be because she understood that there were Giant Restoration Elixirs from the Dao Sect backing her up, she decided to hit harder than usual.

“This old dragon king has gotten stronger!” MO Ruoyu said with a frown when she returned to the stand. Even though she had defeated the East Sea Dragon King, she could feel that he was indeed stronger than before. Dragons were known for their strong physical constitution, and the East Sea Dragon King’s body was much more solid than before.

With her immortal artifact, she now felt she could only take on three dragon kings.

“Is the ‘Jiang Li Human Emperor Strength’ this useful?” Being next door to the Dragon Palace, MO Ruoyu had heard that the dragon clan was secretly practicing body cultivation, and she glanced at Jiang Li.

Jiang Li had a feeling he was being stared at.

“The big brother couldn’t resist Mount Heshan Stone with four dragon balls.”

“Luckily he is the one who went up.”

“Yes, yes, otherwise it would be us lying there.”

The other three dragon kings were whispering to each other off-stage. A tutorial on tools was an opportunity that comes once in a thousand years; they had to come, but they couldn’t go up on stage directly. Being a big brother means leading by example, which in this case meant taking the beating first.

To be fair, the defensive power of the Dragon Balls was extremely astonishing.

Even though the East Sea Dragon King looked miserable while using four Dragon Balls, that was due to the feature of Mount Heshan Stone that required it to hit its target, thus bypassing the defense of the Dragon Balls. If Bai Hongtu, even with his Transcendence Tribulation Stage cultivation, tried it, he wouldn’t be able to make a dent in the Dragon Balls.

It’s a rock-paper-scissors game among immortal tools. There’s no other way. “Look, the Yin Yang Heaven Seal is changing!”
