Chapter 1056 Follow your words

Suddenly, an extremely heavy pressure descended, and the very nature of the void was rapidly changing! The three Imperial Realm experts instantly paled; this was a sign that the World of Mind was about to unfold!
Unlike our own world, the outer realms are surrounded by emptiness. Developing a mental image world outside the outer realms doesn't require manipulating the environment as in our own world; it's not only much faster but also allows us to fully explore the unique features of the mental image world.

However, both Ling Canglan and Mo Fentian's mental worlds possess inherent offensive capabilities, and simultaneously activating them would lead to mutual destruction. Therefore, none of the three activated their mental worlds; instead, Su Wuwang used the Thousand Machine Array in their place.

The three were already severely injured because their supernatural powers had been broken. Now, a mental world suddenly unfolded, and this mental world was incredibly terrifying. The transformation required a noticeable process, and before it was fully revealed, the three already felt immense pressure on them.

The three dared not hold back any longer and unleashed their inner worlds. Mo Fentian's inner world was a surging sea of ​​dragon flames, while Ling Canglan's was an ancient, frigid land of ice and snow, upon which were stuck ice swords. The moment the two inner worlds of the Imperial Realm came into contact, a series of explosions occurred, and both men turned pale.

In comparison, the Ice and Snow Continent was clearly more severely damaged. This was not because Ling Canglan's cultivation was insufficient, but because the attributes of the Heart World were incompatible.

Su Wuwang's mental world was a palace composed of countless mechanical parts, each of which was rotating and could fit into other parts, making the entire palace seem to come alive. This mental world also broadened Wei Yuan's horizons, making him sigh at the vastness and wonder of the world.

Su Wuwang's expertise in mechanics and mechanical engineering is probably no less than Yu Zhizhuo's. Considering that Yu Zhizhuo is already the designated next head of the Heavenly Crafts Hall, Su Wuwang's talent is evident.

After the three people's mental worlds were fully unfolded, Wei Yuan's mental world only partially unfolded, encompassing all three people's mental worlds, with still having a lot to spare.

The three imperial palaces, gazing upon the vast land and the endless bustle of human life, remained silent.

This is not just a world of mental images, it's practically a replica of the real world!
All that's missing is the sun, moon, and stars... Just as this thought crossed the minds of the three, the sun and moon appeared in the sky, each hanging high on one side! With the sun and moon in the sky, the pressure increased tenfold, and the mental worlds of the three Imperial Realms instantly began to distort and blur, showing signs of destruction!
The three were utterly terrified. Was this some kind of Dharma Image? Just looking at this World of Mind and the Sun and Moon Grotto, even immortals were nothing more than this!
Wei Yuan's mental world has no special attributes; it is simply extremely large, extremely heavy, and completely integrated, without any flaws. It is already indestructible simply by crushing the world itself!

The three Imperial Realms continued to unleash their divine powers, but the three-faced human head statue in the air was still spinning. The gaze of the Six Realms Eyes illuminated the heavens and the earth, leaving all their divine powers broken and wasting their Dao power.

Wei Yuan sheathed the Demon Blade July, wielding the Crimson Night Immortal-Slaying Sword. Using the sword as a spear, he held it in one hand, taking a bow stance, and thrust the spear upwards with unstoppable force! This was the first spear technique Wei Yuan had mastered: Rebellion!

The greater the gap between one's cultivation level and that of one's opponent, the stronger the power of this strike, and the base power depends solely on one's current true strength. Only recently did Wei Yuan realize that the strike he created during that moment of great upheaval and convergence actually carried a trace of the true essence of the Great Dao.

Wei Yuan's cultivation level is now at the peak of the Dharma Aspect stage, while his opponent is a powerful expert at the late stage of the Imperial Realm. The difference in their cultivation levels is huge, so the power of this spear has actually doubled!
The spear moved like a dragon, instantly reaching tens of thousands of feet away and striking the mechanical palace!

Su Wuwang let out a miserable scream, and countless mechanical parts fell from his body. A large gash also split open on his face, from which gushed not blood, but countless tiny parts. It was truly impossible to tell whether he was a human or a mechanical puppet.

First, his supernatural powers were broken, then his mental world was suppressed, reducing his strength by half. Now, struck by Wei Yuan's all-out counter-attack, even with his high realm and profound cultivation, Su Wuwang couldn't withstand it. The mechanical hall collapsed with a crash, and his mental world shattered!
He turned to run away, but a huge, deep yellow star appeared in the air and directly suppressed the collapsing mechanical hall, freezing it in place!

The Cangwu in the air was both surprised and angry, and was about to make a move, but the bright spider silk was hanging right in front of him, and the warning was very clear.

Cangwu suddenly wondered, why was the Venerable Lord completely unaware of the other party's blatant interference? Was he unaware, or was he feigning ignorance?
This question lingered in my mind my entire life.

But Prince Ji was still nagging in my ear: "That Wei Yuan is so powerful? He fought three against one! Isn't he supposed to be at the peak of Dharma Aspect? Could it be that I misjudged him?"
"Alas, my judgment is so poor; I should have sent two more people down. Oh dear, Elder Su is in grave danger! Is the Immortal Lord going to stand by and watch him die? Should I lend a hand?"

These words were laced with barbs, but Cangwu, being an immortal, possessed an unparalleled thick skin. He remained calm and spoke as usual, saying, "It's alright. It's already quite unfair for three against one. If we still can't win, we can only accept it. How can I, a dignified immortal, break my promise and be dishonest? If Su Wuwang can't escape, then his own tribulation has arrived."

King Ji cursed inwardly, "You actually know how to write the word 'trust'?" Of course, he couldn't say this aloud.

At this moment, Su Wuwang's mental world was severely damaged. Even if he escaped back, he would most likely fall in cultivation level and be crippled. Prince Ji kept instigating and provoking, just to see if Cangwu would make a move. Seeing that he still refused to make a move, Prince Ji knew what was going on.

Seeing the situation was dire, Mo Fentian and Ling Canglan turned and fled. Their speed was astonishing; a streak of fire and a flash of sword light led them to escape in different directions.

Wei Yuan remained calm and unhurried, then flashed to Su Wuwang's side and patted him. With a whoosh, Su Wuwang turned into a pile of mechanical parts, scattered on the ground, but his consciousness, primordial spirit, and soul were nowhere to be found. His body truly was a puppet.

However, Wei Yuan was not discouraged. Most of Su Wuwang's mental world was suppressed. Without this part of his mental world, he could not even maintain the perfection of his Dharma body. After returning, he would only have one path: to seek a place to disintegrate and enter reincarnation again.

After scattering Su Wuwang, Wei Yuan's Crimson Night Immortal-Slaying Sword transformed once more into a giant sword. He gripped the sword with both hands, turned around, and roared as the giant sword swung out, pausing noticeably at its highest point before crashing down with overwhelming force! The barbarians were swept away, and the world was restored.

Ling Canglan, who had already flown to a great distance, suddenly stopped, raising the Cold Abyss Sword above his head with both hands. But a crimson sword light appeared out of thin air, slicing down from above and across the sword and his body.

With a soft snap, the Immortal Sword Cold Abyss broke in two.

Ling Canglan stood motionless, watching Wei Yuan slowly approach, and said with a wry smile, "Why me?"

“It’s very simple, use your sword.” Wei Yuan’s voice was very strange at this moment, with an echo and the sound of bells, faintly resonating with the surrounding heaven and earth.

Ling Canglan suddenly realized that this was the state of "words becoming law." When a high-level cultivator like Yu Jing was nearing perfection, he would occasionally enter a state of enlightenment, touching upon the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and this phenomenon of "words becoming law" would occur. He could make law with a single word and establish grand vows. It was quite similar to the Buddhist path of great vow cultivation.

Every word Wei Yuan speaks now will become law or a grand aspiration.

Then Wei Yuan said, "And what I desire is to be the supreme master of swordsmanship under heaven! Hehe..."

The last two laughs were somewhat lewd and quite abrupt, and for some reason, they were particularly annoying.

But Ling Canglan was completely convinced by the first great vow, and sighed, "Even at this moment, even if I were about to perish, I could not say those words. In this battle, I am completely convinced of my defeat!"

A red line appeared between Ling Canglan's eyebrows, extending from the top of his head to his neck, and then vanished.

A purple crystal pillar fell into Wei Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness; Ling Canglan had actually contributed a top-tier amount of luck before her death. This luck came suddenly, making Wei Yuan feel somewhat ashamed.

Actually, the "hehe" that followed Wei Yuan's boast wasn't a silly laugh, but a specially distorted and manipulated sound. If you slowed it down, lengthened it, and rearranged the rhythm, it would become the second half of the sentence: "Unless we're related by blood."

The two sentences combined become: "I am the supreme master of swordsmanship, unless there is any kinship involved." This is Wei Yuan's true ambition.

Wei Yuan considered Zhang Sheng to be an absolute genius in swordsmanship, needless to say, and they were as close as could be. Su Xuejing was from the Sword Palace, and through the connection with Bai Kaishui, they were also related by blood.

As for the unparalleled swordsmanship geniuses we might encounter in the future, there's no need for fighting; someone has already pointed out the clear path:

The sage said: Befriend him.

The farmer said: Call me Dad.

Wei Yuan surveyed the battlefield, collected the two remaining mental worlds, and planned to enshrine them in the Moon Shadow upon his return. As for Mo Fentian, he simply couldn't catch up; let him escape.

At this point, Wei Yuan, with his "Perfected Dharma Aspect" form, fought fiercely against the three Imperial Realm experts, injuring one and killing two, achieving a brilliant victory and gaining a clear understanding of the Dao. Now that his Dao heart was clear, he needed to hurry back to recuperate, as Wei Yuan was severely injured. At the same time, he also had to avoid retaliation from the opposing immortals.

Although he had prepared a backup plan to deal with the immortals, he wanted to avoid using it if possible, as the cost would be too high. Besides, if he didn't return soon, Demon Blade July would be on the verge of collapse.

Then Wei Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and let out a long chant: "The way of the sword under heaven..."

He suddenly turned and ran away halfway through his recitation!
If someone were to lie in wait, hoping to hear him recite those two lines of poetry, they would be caught off guard.
