Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

Li Guanqi stared blankly at the emerald ground, now a third dimmer than before.

Despair slowly crept into his heart.

Then it transformed into an angry roar.

A series of continuous rumbles echoed through the clouds!!!!

Three hundred years!!!

A full three hundred years!!!

He had endured despair, constantly using a century as a benchmark, continuously pushing his limits to persevere.

But when the century mark arrived, when he thought he could finally escape…

He was suddenly told that he had to stay here for another two hundred years?

Two hundred years…

Even he didn't have the confidence to stay here for two hundred years.

He had to know that before entering this place, the longest he had ever secluded himself was a little over a year.

Even then, he felt like he had been in seclusion for a very, very long time.

Here, he secluded himself again and again, accumulating a full century.

It could be said that he had mastered his strength between the middle stages of the Ascension Realm to the extreme.

Even to a degree of one hundred percent control that he had never felt before.

His understanding of the realm far surpassed ordinary cultivators of the same level.

Cultivation realm, movement techniques, swordsmanship, sword intent, self-created cultivation methods.

He had improved himself to the extreme.

But what if there were still two hundred years…

He had to know that his Yuan Power couldn't be replenished here. When he came in, however much Yuan Power he imprinted, that's all he would have to expend.

In other words, he could only constantly seclude himself to comprehend things.

He couldn't use this time to cultivate and absorb spiritual energy to improve his realm.

Under these circumstances, he couldn't maintain his long-term seclusion to refine and increase his Yuan Power reserves.

Li Guanqi's face was extremely unsightly.

Despair spread in his heart, and Li Guanqi gradually lost his fighting spirit.

Lying in the empty, silent void, without even a trace of sound.

He didn't know how long had passed when Li Guanqi seemed to hear calls in his ears.

It was Su Xuan… it was Meng Wanshu… it was Ye Feng… it was Peng Luo…

He wanted to see them!!!

The anger accumulated in his heart for a century erupted at this moment!!!

If he still had room to improve, even two hundred years would be fine.

But his comprehension was too high. During his previous seclusion, he spent most of his time comprehending many things.

But now, with his cultivation realm, there was nothing left for him to comprehend.

Unless he could continue to improve his cultivation realm.

Two hundred years, to have him stay in this dead, empty space for another two hundred years.

He would definitely go crazy…

Li Guanqi reached out and touched the ground.

He found that the defensive power seemed to be weakened compared to before.

Licking his lips, Li Guanqi took off his already stinky, tattered robe.

Strands of sword light flickered, hair fell, and his beard was shaved off.

His originally floor-length hair was now cut to his waist.

Casually tying up his hair, the complex and intense emotions in Li Guanqi's eyes disappeared.

Replaced by a resolute and firm gaze!

He wanted to leave this place!

He wanted to shatter this world!!

He wanted to… Rising Dragon Ascends!!!

Boom!!!!

An aura that made the heavens and earth tremble suddenly erupted.

At this moment, the will contained in Li Guanqi's sword intent reached its peak.

Upon closer inspection, this will… wanted to slay the heavens!!!

Buzz!!!

Blood roared, and Li Guanqi's body was instantly covered in dragon scales!

This time, the dragon scales had undergone considerable changes compared to before. The purple dragon scales shimmered with a metallic luster.

But their defensive power was many times stronger than before.

Lightning flashed on the dragon horns, and the Divine Punishment Technique was operating at its peak, the fifth level!

And the fifth level of the technique amplified him by a terrifying two times!!

In other words, he could unleash three times his original strength!!

But the fifth level, like the fourth level, placed an extremely heavy burden on his body.

Even with his current body, he could only withstand it for up to an hour.

Therefore, when fighting with others, he would only raise the technique to its peak in the final critical moment.

Boom!!!!!!

The ground beneath Li Guanqi's feet trembled slightly, and the power of the Sword Ruins was fully activated.

Terrifying sword energy frantically cut through the void around Li Guanqi's body.

If Li Guanqi were standing in front of Xuan Wang at this moment, he would probably give him the illusion of facing Emperor Chen.

Li Guanqi's mind flashed through his entire life.

Including his century of time in this void.

A surge of angry, unyielding will rose from the ground.

The spirit sword in his hand emitted a loud sword cry!!

At this moment, Li Guanqi threw all the countless sword techniques he had created over the years to the back of his mind.

The Yuan Power in his body charged around like headless flies.

Gradually, the Yuan Power was guided by Li Guanqi's will, and the charging power transformed into a giant dragon flowing through his body.

Boom!!!

Endless lightning burst forth from his body, eventually pouring into the long sword.

The moment Li Guanqi opened his eyes, a dazzling purple lightning flashed in his eyes.

Gradually, Li Guanqi's eyes flickered, and he stepped into the void.

The sword in his hand slowly raised, as if containing the ultimate truth of swordsmanship.

Holding the sword in one hand, he looked up at the sky, his blood like a rainbow, and his Yuan Power roared like a dragon.

Now, the Yuan Power in his body was only enough to unleash one strike.

But…

This one strike, all that remained in his body was immortal Yuan!

A low murmur slowly echoed in this silent void.

“Deep within the Tai Xu, the dragon's roar shakes, Beneath the Nine Heavens, the intent of thunder points.”

“In the blink of an eye, a shocking change occurs, The rising dragon leaps forth, breaking through the dark expanse.”

“I vow to measure the vast wilderness with my sword's edge, To judge the rights and wrongs of ancient and modern times.”

“Moving the universe is not my wish, But I seek only to question the heavens with a single sword.”

The sword technique incantation came out, and the Yuan Power in Li Guanqi's body operated in a savage manner.

The spirit sword in his hand emitted a loud sword cry.

The sword body trembled slightly, and then some fine cracks appeared.

As if the sword body could not bear the power of this sword.

Li Guanqi's voice gradually became louder.

“How could I, Li Guanqi, be trapped in this nameless place for long! Today, not for transcendence, but for the endless sky and freedom!

The hidden dragon has been unused for too long, now it emerges from the abyss!

It's not that the time hasn't come, it's that my heart is unwilling!

Pointing my sword at the sky, I laugh, ten thousand thunderbolts transform into dragons, what's a hundred years?

My one sword is enough to shake the world and dispel falsehood!

'Rising Dragon Ascends!' is not escape, but conquest!

“I, Li Guanqi, will let this world know.”

“The shackles of the world cannot bind the raging waves in my heart, the vastness of my ambition!”

“This sword is my resistance to fate.”

“This sword is the coronation of my will by all the thunder-type Yuan Power!”

“A hundred years of loneliness and waiting has forged not only my sword, but also the unyielding fighting spirit in my heart!”

Li Guanqi suddenly took a step forward, his figure turned, his feet were in the endless sky void, and above his head was the ground he had been stepping on for a hundred years.

Pointing the sword at the earth, his figure burst out!!!

This sword, the power of heaven!

The rising dragon has emerged from the abyss, and thunder moves across the nine heavens.

“I, Li Guanqi, will use this sword to open up my own world and let the heavens witness what is the true master of thunder!”

“I have entered the Ascension Realm, and the sword opens the gate of heaven… is not far away!!”

“This sword is named 'Rising Dragon!'”

Boom!!!!!!

The explosive roar shook the entire void.

Crack!!!!

A crisp cracking sound suddenly rang out!!!

The earth shattered, and the spiritual light phantom of the Quiet Heart Cloud Rainbow Grass finally shattered.

Along with the shattered earth, there was also the huge hourglass.

Li Guanqi didn't look back, the spirit sword in his hand had already shattered.

The corners of Li Guanqi's mouth rose slightly, and his consciousness began to blur, returning to his main body.
