Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Chapter 112 The Collapse of the Secret Realm
boom!
A sword aura flew diagonally towards them. Ning Fusang raised his sword and slashed, glancing out of the corner of his eye at the battle between Wang Bingxuan and Gao Qingque.

Wang Bingxuan had entered the Daoist path a few years earlier, possessing unparalleled skill in the Autumn Frost Sword Technique. He also had some understanding of the Southern Star Sword Technique, so he subtly suppressed Gao Qingque with each move.

The scattered flags in the military map have been mostly divided up by the disciples of the two sects. Whether they can pass the level and obtain the Wutong Fruit depends on the outcome of the battle between Wang Bingxuan and Gao Qingque.

No one else can interfere.

Ning Fusang did the same without revealing his cultivation level.

The sword energy of a cultivator at the peak of the fourth realm is incomparably sharp, capable of slicing through mountains and shattering jade in the blink of an eye.

Ning Fusang didn't attend the previous outer sect competition, so this was the first time she had seen Gao Qingque wield his sword. His figure was as fast as lightning, his spirit sword parrying and thrusting with tight offense and defense, so even though Wang Bingxuan had a slight advantage, he couldn't defeat him.

Suddenly, Gao Qingque flicked his wrist, and a wisp of sword light appeared on the surface of the spirit sword, which then flew out.

Watching this scene, Min Qianyun murmured, "So he had already entered the realm of sword light."

The other disciples of the Southern Star Sword Sect smiled upon seeing this: "Senior Brother Gao is so young, yet he has already condensed a sword aura. He is truly a prodigy!"

"If it weren't for missing one outer sect competition, with Senior Brother Gao's abilities, he would have entered the inner sect long ago, and his achievements would definitely be greater than they are now."

"Among his peers, Senior Brother Gao's talent is only slightly inferior to that of Senior Sister Jinzhen, Senior Brother Chi, and Senior Brother Yangruo."

"Comparing her to Senior Sister Jinzhen is just too unfair. Senior Sister Jinzhen's talent would rank among the top three in the entire Northern Yuling Prefecture!"

"..."

Ning Fusang narrowed her eyes, sensing something was amiss. This was sword light, but was it merely sword light?

She seemed to have seen such a bright sword light elsewhere.

The images flashed through Ning Fusang's mind like a fleeting glance. Suddenly, her eyes widened, a look of surprise flashing in them: "It's Jian Xing!"

Her voice was very soft, but the disciples of the Nanxing Sword Sect nearby heard it.

"Sword Star?"

"What Senior Brother Gao unleashed wasn't a sword aura, but a sword star?!"

The sword's edge moves forward relentlessly until it encounters an obstacle or its power diminishes, at which point it dissipates on its own. Sword Star is the most profound part of the Southern Star Sword Technique; it can stop the sword's edge, like a twinkling star, until it bursts forth again after three breaths or longer, causing damage.

Sword Star contains sword energy. To unleash Sword Star, one must thoroughly understand and master both the Sword Energy Realm and the Sword Light Realm.

Everyone noticed that the flying sword light had indeed stopped flying and instead hung above the armor diagram, like a twinkling star.

Wang Bingxuan's heart pounded fiercely in response to the twinkling light of this "star." He had no idea when this sword star would explode down.

It was as if a sword was hanging over his head. In addition to dealing with Gao Qingque's sword moves, he also had to be wary of this sword star that could explode at any moment.

This is the most exquisite and unparalleled aspect of the Southern Star Sword Technique.

The character "南" was chosen because it is located south of Lingzhou, and the star is the star of the sword star.

This is the Southern Star Sword Sect.

Gao Qingque brandished his spirit sword, and the sword star was drawn to it, suddenly shooting out a sharp sword aura. Wang Bingxuan's eyes were serious as he slashed horizontally with his sword!
Boom!

The armor diagram shook a few times, and a crack appeared.

It seemed as if heavenly fire was descending.

In an instant, a strong wind rushed in, the armor diagram was torn apart, and everyone was ejected from the world of the armor diagram. Only then did they realize that the sky and earth outside had collapsed and the secret realm had been divided into countless small sections.

The cultivator from the Dao of Destiny was filled with astonishment: "This is... spatial turbulence?" As soon as he finished speaking, he was swept away by the turbulence and disappeared into the rain of paulownia trees whipped up by the raging wind.

Ning Fusang braced himself against his sword to steady himself. Phoenix Terrace had already split in two. The stone statues and phoenix tree branches had turned to dust, and the stone-carved phoenix tree fruits were nowhere to be found.

She turned her gaze to look at the trunk of the immortal parasol tree. Even with such a strong wind, the parasol fruits were still hanging steadily on the branches.

No one can pluck them without the permission of the immortal parasol tree.

But she wanted to give it a try.

Ning Fusang soared into the air, passing through the heavenly fire. Her Shattered Light Sword intercepted the Wutong Fruit, but a powerful restrictive force pressed down upon her. Her lips trembled, and the longsword hummed incessantly, its surface cracking.

Her body was forced back to Phoenix Terrace, at which moment, the spirit sword suddenly shattered!

"So, forcibly taking it won't work, huh?" Ning Fusang raised her sleeve and wiped the bright red blood from the corner of her mouth.

Qianyuan's voice echoed in her mind: "This immortal parasol tree is missing its heartwood, so its power is greatly weakened. If you have the cultivation of the ninth level, you might be able to pick the parasol tree fruit."

However, Ning Fusang cannot use the cultivation methods from the Sword Heart Diagram.

There are too many people here, and there's also the interference of spatial turbulence. If you're not careful, you might take a wrong step and there's no turning back.

The Twin Heavens Spirit Realm was originally located within the spatial turbulence, its location uncertain. It was only through the combined efforts of several major sects that it was fixed in one place. Now that the turbulence has swept in, it is likely that the boundary of the secret realm has been broken.

No one knows what was hidden in the Second Heaven Secret Realm that caused them to fight so fiercely that they even shattered the secret realm.

The two realms are about to merge; if we don't evacuate in time, many people will die.

Wang Bingxuan acted decisively, immediately instructing the Qiushuang Sword Sect disciples: "Evacuate the secret realm immediately! Do not delay!"

He has already obtained a sycamore fruit; there is no need for him to linger here any longer.

Gao Qingque also turned around and ordered the disciples of the Nanxing Sword Sect to evacuate. He said to Shen Tu Lei, Min Qianyun, and He Jiaxiu, "I would like to trouble you to escort the disciples of the sect to evacuate from the secret realm."

"What about you, Senior Brother Gao?" Shen Tu Lei had no doubts about the decision, but the secret realm was about to collapse, so what was he still doing staying there?
Gao Qingque's eyes were deep and his tone was heavy: "The other disciples of the fourth realm, come with me to find the fellow disciples who were swept away by the spatial turbulence."

Jiang Xin's gaze fell on the apricot-clad girl on Phoenix Terrace, separated by a huge crack in the ground. "Senior Sister Ning, aren't you leaving the secret realm either?"

She seemed to still harbor feelings for the sycamore fruit.

Having already obtained two coveted phoenix tree fruits, why would you risk everything and put yourself in danger?

Shen Tu Lei had to admit that his opponent was ruthless. He accepted his defeat at her hands.

"She's mentally ill, ignore her."

He Jiaxiu pulled Jiang Xin along and flew out of the Divine Tree Palace. She glanced back and didn't see Wuchen, guessing that he must have been swept away by the spatial turbulence.

Heavenly fires flew and phoenix tree leaves danced. Near Phoenix Terrace, some cultivators failed to evacuate in time and were blocked by the enormous natural barrier.

Some of them stayed on their own initiative, such as Ning Fusang, Xuan Ming, and Xie Taiting.

Wuchen emerged from under a large sycamore branch. Seeing a ball of flame about to strike a female cultivator from Suling Valley, he immediately chanted an incantation, and a blue lotus floated above the female cultivator's head, blocking the heavenly fire.

"Thank you," the female cultivator said in a hoarse voice.

Her injuries were severe; she didn't actually have much longer to live.

The collapsing sky brought down not only heavenly fire, but also the residual power of high-level cultivators' spells.
