Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 339 Appearance
A deserted island, where time seems to have been forgotten.

Li Fan sat cross-legged, with sword light flowing on his body. With his body as the center, the area around him was covered by the sword domain. This sword domain gave people a depressing atmosphere, it was sharp and dim, like the end of the world.

In the sword domain, there are countless flying swords flowing, like dark lightning, making sharp hissing sounds.

"destroy."

Li Fan said in his heart, and then his mind moved, and the world around him suddenly changed. The sword intent in the vast space suddenly changed. A giant sword was hanging high in the sky, and swords from the sky were hanging down. They were ancient and heavy, and seemed to be oppressing this world, making it difficult to breathe.

"Stars."

Li Fan seemed to be muttering, he opened his eyes and looked at the sword domain that appeared in front of him.

After a long period of seclusion on the deserted island, he finally realized and perfected the sword intent of destruction and stars, and used it as a basis to transform it into the sword domain.

The sword intent of destruction evolved from the sword intent of wind and thunder, and the attack power of the sword intent of stars is also far greater than before.

The sword domain comprehended by sword cultivators is the evolution of sword intent. Many sword cultivators in the Condensation Pill Realm find it difficult to step into the threshold of the sword domain. Only some talented sword cultivators can comprehend the sword domain in the Condensation Pill Realm.

Li Fan stood up, and with a thought, a brilliant sword light suddenly burst out from his body, and his body was like a sword, turning into a sword body.

"The Tianyuan Sword Body and my master's Tianren Jiushuai seem to have similarities, but the Tianyuan Sword Body burns with sword intent, while Tianren Jiushuai is more domineering and represents the ultimate of self." Li Fan said secretly in his heart.

Li Fan's mind moved, and suddenly he stood there, as if he was one with the world, and one with the sword. The sword intent flowing in his body became stronger and stronger, and his aura continued to rise.

With the sword in his hand, Li Fan seemed to have transformed, and everything in the world became a sword.

"This should be the heavenly sword form referred to in the Tianyuan Sword Classic." Li Fan's mind moved, and his body turned into a residual image and disappeared directly from the spot. When he appeared again, he was already in another direction, and he slashed out with a sword silently.

Not far behind Li Fan, several people opened their eyes and looked at Li Fan, only to see that Li Fan had disappeared from their sight again.

"There." Liu Ji looked up at the sky and saw Li Fan's figure appearing high in the sky.

"So fast..." The next moment, Li Fan changed his shape again, and the space in front was full of sword shadows, omnipresent, and filled with terrifying sword intent.

"People in the Condensation Realm cannot contend with this kind of swordsmanship at all." Liu Ji said in her heart. After a moment, Li Fan's body returned to its original place, and the countless shadows between heaven and earth merged with his body, as if there were thousands of Li Fans.

"What kind of sword technique is this?" Yue Qingqiu asked in a low voice, curiosity in her beautiful eyes. If such a sword technique were to attack her, how would she resist?

"This sword technique comes from the Tianyuan Sword Classic and has the shadow of the Thousand Souls Sword Classic, so let's name it the Thousand Shadows Sword." Li Fan said. Now that he has comprehended the sword domain and his cultivation has entered the middle stage of Nascent Soul, it is time to leave.

"How is your practice going?" Li Fan looked at them and asked.

“After transforming into a dragon, he entered the middle stage of the fifth realm.” Liu Ji replied.

"I am also about to break through. It shouldn't take long for me to reach the middle stage of the Golden Body." Huang Xiong stepped forward and said, "This place is perfect for cultivation."

Li Fan: "..."

He rolled his eyes at Huang Xiong. This guy had really been delayed in the past. Ever since he broke free from the shackles in the academy, his cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds. Even in this place that was not suitable for human cultivation, he had made rapid progress.

"It's time to leave." Li Fan said, Liu Ji and Huang Xiong nodded. Yue Qingqiu seemed to hesitate, but still stood up.

Li Fan waved his hand, and a flying boat appeared. A group of people boarded the flying boat and headed towards the distant direction.

After a while, they arrived at an island on the edge and shouted when they saw Meng Hong and the other two practicing below.

"It's finally over?" Meng Hong and the others stood up and flew into the air, landing on the flying boat.

Luo Qingyan kept looking at Li Fan. Compared to when they first met, Li Fan's temperament had changed a lot and he seemed to be more mature.

After all, even Li Fan today is only in his early twenties.

"Are you willing to leave?" Luo Qingyan said with a smile.

"What, you don't want to leave?" Li Fan replied.

"How could that be? It's so boring here. We can finally go back to where humans live. Are you planning to go inland this time?" Luo Qingyan's eyes brightened. She had been living in the West Sea all her life and had never seen the prosperity of the inland of Dali.

"Yeah." Li Fan nodded, and the journey to the West Sea ended here.

The flying boat continued to move forward. Yue Qingqiu looked back in the direction of Jiuying Island and said softly, "I feel like there is something under Jiuying Island."

Li Fan was stunned and the flying boat stopped moving forward. He looked at Yue Qingqiu, only to see Yue Qingqiu's clear eyes looking at him.

"Is there something?" Li Fan asked.

Yue Qingqiu nodded gently: "However, since you can't find it, it may be unusual, so I didn't tell you when we were on the island."

Li Fan's eyes were solemn. When his two senior brothers were here, they searched Jiuying Island and even the surrounding waters, but found nothing.

But from what Qingqiu said, it is under Jiuying Island?
He looked into the distance, his eyes turned golden, and saw that the Nine Infants Island was filled with demonic energy, but no demonic shadow could be seen. He had tried to find it before but had not found it.

"I'll go back and take a look." Li Fan said. "No." Yue Qingqiu stared at him and shook his head.

"Danger."

"I still have the sword power of my elders in me, so I'll be fine." Li Fan said with a smile. Yue Qingqiu was not good at expressing himself, so he must have been worried about his own safety and had not mentioned this matter while on the island.

"You guys wait for me here. If anything happens, don't get close." Li Fan said as he flew away on his sword and returned to Jiuying Island.

Yue Qingqiu looked at his back, feeling a little worried.

Jiuying Island was right above us, and below us were ruins and black land.

Li Fan's body was suspended in the air. With a thought, many flying swords appeared in front of him. The flying swords swooped down and pierced into the ground.

"Chichi..."

A sharp sound was heard, and the flying sword drilled into the ground. Li Fan frowned. The ground of Jiuying Island was so hard? The flying sword encountered strong resistance when it penetrated.

This island has been washed by heavenly thunder for many years. Could this be the reason?
In different directions, the flying sword continued to go down and drill deep into the ground until it encountered stronger resistance. A harsh sound was heard and the flying sword could no longer penetrate.

"What is that?" Li Fan's mind moved, and the sword energy whistled and condensed into shape, then fiercely stabbed in a certain direction. When the sword pierced into the ground, debris flew. Li Fan's eyes were sharp, that was...

He stared downwards and continued to thrust his sword forward, but at this moment, the ground below shook, and Li Fan clearly felt that the entire island was shaking slightly.

Suddenly, a demonic aura spread out and emerged from the ground, and Li Fan's eyes changed.

Is there a monster underground?

Suddenly a crack appeared on the ground, and his flying sword was blown away. The next moment a black lightning struck Li Fan. Li Fan dodged it instantly, and an afterimage appeared in the air.

A sharp black object, like a tentacle, appeared where he was just now.

"Twigs?"

Li Fan's heart trembled. Is it a tree demon?

The flying sword cannot penetrate the bark. Could it be that...

This is the lair of the Nine Infants Demon.

Could it be that the thing he and his senior brother have always wanted to find is right under his feet?

"Buzz..." The tentacle-like branches and leaves stabbed at him like sharp blades at an extremely fast speed. Li Fan's body left an afterimage. He slashed at the tentacles with a sword, but failed to cut them off. The tentacles bent and rolled towards his body.

With flashes of wind and thunder, Li Fan's body disappeared from the spot, and a broken sword appeared in his hand.

He and the tentacle moved almost at the same time, colliding with each other for an instant, and with a "pop", the broken sword cut it off. Li Fan's body appeared in another direction, staring at the severed branch, only to see it grow again quickly.

Not only that, the vibrations of Jiuying Island were getting more and more violent. Li Fan stared at the bottom and saw dense tentacles growing out of the holes pierced by the swords, like a monster.

"It's a tree demon." Li Fan was a little excited.

The resurrection tree?
This is the hope for the old blind man to restore his soul.

But then his eyes became extremely solemn. He was afraid that this tree demon would be difficult to deal with.

A sharp rustling sound was heard, and branches all over the sky rolled towards his body. Li Fan instantly entered the form of a sky sword, transformed into a sword body, and a sword field of destruction appeared around him.

But those branches and leaves that rolled over actually penetrated the sword domain and killed him. The sword intent tried to cut them, but it couldn't cut them off.

Li Fan's body left an afterimage, and the broken sword instantly cut off a tentacle. The tentacle grew out again the moment it was cut off, and the surrounding tentacles actually covered the sword domain, locking him inside.

Li Fan looked up and saw that the top of his head was also blocked by tentacles and he had nowhere to go.

His face looked grim, and the scene before him looked like a prison.

"Boom..." Tentacles all over the sky came towards him. Li Fan's sword energy roared and kept tearing the tentacles into pieces, but he was still buried by those tentacles and tied up in an instant.

The tentacles pulled him underground, and his body was sucked into the ground. When he released his spiritual sense, he found that the tentacles sucking towards him were just the tip of the iceberg.

His spiritual sense followed the tentacles to explore deeper, and he was shocked to find that the entire Nine Infants Island was covered by the tentacles. Deep underground, there was an extremely thick ancient tree, surrounded by terrifying thunder power, and the thunder in the sky seemed to be attracted by this ancient tree.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes opened and stared at his consciousness, causing Li Fan's heart to tremble violently.

In the outside world, in the distant direction of Jiuying Island, on the flying boat, Yue Qingqiu and others looked towards the direction of Jiuying Island. At this moment, the demonic energy of Jiuying Island was rising to the sky, covering the sky and the sun. Countless tentacles extended towards the sky, as if they were going to be connected to the sky. It was extremely terrifying.

Even Liu Ji and Huang Xiong, who had always trusted Li Fan, changed their expressions at this moment. What level of monster is this?
