Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1654: Gentle Breakthrough 🌸

Published: March 9, 2025

This is the eighth segment of the Nine Calamity Sword technique.

Chu Yang's body suddenly shook violently, nearly fainting, because this sword technique was anything but unfamiliar to him. It was indeed the poem once written by Snow Tear Cold! Could it be that...

So, this is the sword technique of the Nine Calamity Sword?!

Chu Yang felt as if his mind was insufficient to process this information...

It turns out that Qing Wu... is the last calamity among the Nine Calamities that has yet to reveal its traces!

However... wasn't it said that women are not allowed among the Nine Calamities? And that there shouldn't be anyone with the same surname? Why? Why is it so strange?

Yet within the Nine Calamity space, at the very moment the four lines of the sword technique echoed, the Sword Spirit rose and took a form, brandishing an illusory long sword and slowly beginning to dance.

The Nine Calamity Sword, the eighth segment, sword move.

Finally manifested!

At this point, the Nine Calamity Sword could truly be termed "complete"!

The sword body, sword handle, and sword tassel, the entire long sword was now entirely present.

As Chu Yang expected, the accompanying sword move of the Nine Calamity Sword tassel was primarily soft; it displayed boundless killing intent within a realm of infinite softness, completing a layout for the decisive kill without the opponent even realizing it.

The tassel's accompanying move conveys the meaning that "rigid cannot endure, soft cannot defend," with the basic concept being to wait until the enemy's sharpness is slightly dulled, then immediately execute the most incisive counterattack. These four sword moves were uncommon within the Nine Calamity Sword technique, hiding attack within defense, yet in terms of lethality, they were by no means inferior to the previous moves. Moreover, this move's attack power was highly concentrated, truly a killer technique for a desperate counterattack.

Light and dreamlike, it gradually accumulated power while maintaining a graceful defense; it protected itself from the storm while accumulating its own strength drop by drop.

In the Sea of Blood and Bone Mountain, it danced enchantingly; however, within this defense, the energy continuously gathered from prior operations formed a unique internal force field unbeknownst to the enemy.

Riding the sword a thousand miles, no questions posed, once again revealing its edge, preparing to counterattack, striving for relative initiative and to seize the first opportunity. In the defense, a surprise move emerged, the techniques being incredibly complex and ingenious, dazzling the enemy's senses, ensuring that the enemy would be taken completely by surprise, turning the previously passive situation around.

And based on the first three moves, the fourth move came forth as the decisive kill.

Life and death accompanied to the Nine Heavens.

A hit is certain, death is guaranteed, one strike decisive kill!

By the time this move was reached, the accumulated power had indeed exceeded the cultivator's own level by dozens of times.

Such power far surpassed the limits of the one who initiated it; according to general logic, once the move was executed, it was uncertain whether it would hit the enemy, but this power had already been unleashed, returning to nothingness.

However, these four moves, along with their ingenious continuity, had intercepted the power from each prior move, even including the strength from the enemy's attack; thus, when the final decisive kill was unleashed, it was as if the combined strength of both sides was multiplied many times... suddenly unleashing a sharp counterattack!

One must ask, with such a strike, who could withstand it?

Precisely because it merged the forces of both sides, it was called 'life and death accompanying'—since it was a decisive battle, of course, it was life or death. This goes without saying...

As for... reaching the Nine Heavens, it was directly sending the enemy to the Western Heaven... not just to the Nine Heavens!

The combination of the four moves yielded an unfathomable power, even the most conservative estimate was over twenty times Chu Yang's peak combat strength!
