Free Web NovelChapter 261: Chapter 232: Sword Shatters Myriad Seals, Merging Radiance with Dust! (Double Chapter)
The sword shadow grew rapidly.
By the time the sword shadow aimed at Gu Yuan’s face, it had already grown to several meters in size, its starlight solidified, carrying a formidable might.
With a single thought, Gu Yuan split the sword light into ten strands, easily shattering the sword shadow.
But this was merely Shu Tianzhi’s probing.
"Soldier Sea Star Seal!"
With a light shout, starlight gathered behind him. In just an instant, the shapes of dozens of weapons like swords, spears, shears, halberds, axes, hooks, whips, and hammers appeared together, attacking Gu Yuan.
"Clang!"
Gu Yuan did not respond, simply activating the Sword Seal, splitting the sword light, and shredding the incoming stellar weapons into pieces.
The "Sea of Soldiers Strategy," enough to defeat several late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators, had no effect on Gu Yuan.
"Senior Brother’s sword technique is unparalleled, breaking myriad methods with a single sword. It seems ordinary means are indeed useless, Junior Brother Su’s path of myriad seals obviously has taken the wrong turn..."
Seeing this, Shu Tianzhi sighed slightly, seeming a bit regretful.
But immediately, his gaze sharpened, showing a solemn intention.
"But today, Junior Brother wants to see if Senior Brother’s sword light is more brilliant, or if my Star Seal is more exquisite!"
Shu Tianzhi took a deep breath, and from within his dantian, a dazzling Dharma Seal seemingly condensing from countless star dots suddenly surfaced.
"Swish!
As soon as this seal appeared, the sky immediately darkened as if night had fallen.
The previously invisible stars now shone brightly, glittering with vivid splendor, a concentration visible to the naked eye, with brilliant starlight cascading down.
Celestial Spirit Star Seal!
One of the Cyan Peak Daoist School’s Seven Vein’s extremely advanced Dharma Seals. Once the seal is formed, it can draw on star power, instantly boosting mana, with every move augmented by star power, like a vast, endless star river. Even merely with mana, it can brutally and truly cut down those of the same realm, incredibly formidable.
It is one of the top-tier Dharma Seals, yet only those with extraordinary comprehension could grasp the mysteries of the star river to refine it.
Shu Tianzhi’s body hadn’t grown larger, but in the eyes of everyone, his stature seemed to keep increasing, and in a daze, he appeared to become a towering giant, incomparably grand.
This is an illusion caused by the mana surge and expanding aura.
"Zheng!!
Yet, at this moment, the sound of a sword suddenly resounded.
The contest of True Inheritance is no less lethal than life-and-death battles, and Gu Yuan naturally wouldn’t give his opponent the chance to calmly cast seals.
From the remaining three strands of Gold-Attribute Mana, he channeled one into the Golden Bamboo Sword, urging sword light with thunder momentum, seeking a decisive blow.
"Clang!"
But Shu Tianzhi seemed to be prepared for this, as from his sleeve, a Dharma Seal emanating a strange silver light suddenly emerged, meeting Gu Yuan’s Golden Bamboo Sword.
This Dharma Seal appeared as if cast from white wax, with peculiar Dao Patterns inscribed all over its body. As soon as it appeared, it automatically ignited, turning into a cluster of silver starfire.
Within the starfire, countless fragments resembling stars floated and drifted, falling onto the Golden Bamboo Sword.
The Golden Bamboo Sword vibrated and its surrounding spiritual light rapidly dimmed, all the Sword Patterns vanished completely, as if they never existed.
Even though Gu Yuan had infused it with Gold-Attribute Mana, it couldn’t prevent the disappearance of the Sword Pattern.
In just a fleeting moment, the Golden Bamboo Sword fell to the ground, like an ordinary sword, dim and lifeless.
"Harmonious Star Dust Seal!"
"Senior Brother Shu has actually refined this Dharma Seal?"
On the stands, a disciple of Celestial Spirit Peak exclaimed in surprise.
The Harmonious Star Dust Seal is a secret seal of Celestial Spirit Peak, deriving its name from the concept of blending light and dust.
This seal requires collecting star fragments, refining Dao Patterns, and nurturing them in the dantian for over twenty years before it can be used.
Once the seal is used, it can contaminate any Dharma Seal, turning it into a mundane object in a matter of moments, stripping it of its spiritual nature.
This seal differs from ordinary Dharma Seals; it is a rare one-time-use seal, once employed, it will burn like starfire, vanishing into nothing.
Shu Tianzhi had clearly calculated everything, and this seal was specifically meant to counter Gu Yuan’s Sword Seal.
Though it could only render the Golden Bamboo Sword mundane for a moment, it was sufficient.
All he needed was this brief moment in time.
"Swish!
The starlight fell, and within Shu Tianzhi, mana surged, increasing more than tenfold.
He reached out and grabbed, countless forces of mana and star power converged, merging into a pair of colossal Star Hands that covered the sky, suddenly grasping towards Gu Yuan.
