My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 706 Misalignment
The terrifying sword's edge swept in all directions.

Half of the arena was swept and enveloped by that terrifying storm of sword energy!
That violent power seemed to want to tear everything apart and annihilate it!

The aftershocks of each of these sharp edges are enough to influence the space to some extent.

If an ordinary cultivator at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm were here...
They would probably be torn into mincemeat in an instant!
As expected of Liu Qingchen's all-out, long-planned, peak sword strike.

Its power,
This left everyone watching the battle in shock!
"Hiss! The stone slabs that pave the arena are no ordinary items. Especially under the influence of the sect leader's power, they are probably made by a cultivator at the Divine Travel Realm. It wouldn't be easy to destroy them, but this sword actually cut such a long crack!"

"That's not surprising. Liu Qingchen's sword technique is already famous far and wide. It is said that it was originally a sword nurturing technique. As he has come this far, the sword nurturing technique has absorbed too much resources, forming a sword technique that is connected with his mind and spirit. Moreover, it can continuously accumulate battle intent, sword intent, and feed his own beliefs, and finally unleash a peak strike that far surpasses his own!"

"Legend has it that if given enough preparation, this sword strike is enough to kill someone in the Divine Ascension Realm!"

"It seems that Shen Changchuan is putting a lot of pressure on Liu Qingchen, actually preparing for this much."

"But what about Shen Changchuan? We were outside the arena, with the spatial barrier set up by the sect leader. At the moment Liu Qingchen's sword intent erupted, we all felt a sense of time freezing. How did Shen Changchuan, who was facing that sword directly, manage to dodge it?!"

"Incredible! The sword intent of that sword strike filled the void of the arena. Moreover, Liu Qingchen's sword is a unique sword, capable of locking onto the enemy through sword intent. You might have seen the sword light coming from the left, but the next instant, the wound appeared on the right. It is said that this is the result of the sword intent locking on! Just now, that sword intent swept across the void. No matter how Shen Changchuan dodged, he should have been locked on by the sword intent, with the sword light following him like a shadow. How did he dodge it?"

"It's hard to believe; many people have probably underestimated Shen Changchuan."

Right now,

The crowd of onlookers was in an uproar.

The battle between Shen Changchuan and Liu Qingchen
Because both of them are extremely famous and have the ability to compete for a top-five finish,

It can be said that it attracted the attention of the vast majority of people from the very beginning of the battle.

Tens of thousands of eyes were present.

Almost all of them gathered on the two-person arena.

Also because of this,

Tens of thousands of people witnessed the terrifying sword strike unleashed by Liu Qingchen.
After they saw the dazzling sword light across the arena and through the spatial barrier set up by the sect leader, and were affected by the sword light, they were very clear about the power of that sword!

That was a sword strike powerful enough to kill a cultivator in the Divine Ascension Realm!
however,
So terrifying,
Almost everyone present believed that facing such a sword head-on would mean certain death.
But Shen Changchuan dodged it!
Yes,

She dodged it!
In the instant the sword light arrived...

Shen Changchuan's figure suddenly disappeared, and then reappeared hundreds of feet away!
So much so that the sword light, which reached the heavens and earth and affected the vacuum, missed its target.

Only a deep trench and crack remained on the arena floor.

"How is this possible?! How did you do that?!"

The fatal blow missed.
Liu Qingchen, who had been so confident, suddenly narrowed his eyes, his lips parted slightly, and he asked in disbelief.

"A very interesting tactic."

Shen Changchuan did not answer the other party's words. Instead, he recalled the change in the other party's sword intent power in that instant and carefully felt it.

After a short while,

He then looked at Liu Qingchen on the ground.

"If I'm not mistaken, your sword strike, besides the rudimentary form of the true meaning you've comprehended, which allows you to attack with the ability to disrupt space, also contains a soul attack similar to stripping away the five senses, right?"

"It is truly a wondrous method. If my divine soul had not been so powerful, I probably wouldn't have been able to react in that instant," Shen Changchuan said with some emotion.

and,

The wonder of the opponent's sword strike was not limited to that.

That ability to generate the rudiments of true intent for attacking from unexpected angles,

Even Shen Changchuan found it extremely mysterious.
This doesn't involve the use of spatial power, but it can achieve the effect of instantly traversing space by borrowing the locking effect of sword intent.
Then strike the enemy from an unexpected direction!
This undoubtedly gave Shen Changchuan a lot of inspiration!

So much so that in this instant,

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and flashes of inspiration followed one after another.

For example, the methods to deal with Lin Wushuang's Blazing Sun True Intent
"The soul? How could this be?"

Liu Qingchen opened her mouth and muttered to herself.

His face was filled with disbelief, and his complexion gradually turned pale.
The confident expression he had shown earlier had completely vanished.

He couldn't help but react this way.

From Shen Changchuan's words, and from his own perception,

He already understood how Shen Changchuan had dodged his long-awaited, peak sword strike.

Shen Changchuan is right.
Besides the rudimentary form of true meaning contained in his sword strike, a crucial component of it was attacking the enemy's soul, achieving effects such as depriving the enemy of their five senses!
This is a targeted weapon he came up with after observing Shen Changchuan's seven battles over the past few days and after careful consideration!
in fact,

Long before Shen Changchuan displayed his spatial power and instantly killed Xiao Chenyang,

Liu Qingchen knew that Shen Changchuan would definitely go all the way to the end in this competition!
This also means,

He's behind him, and there's a high chance he'll run into Shen Changchuan in the ring!
To win against Shen Changchuan, whom he knew almost nothing about before, he had to make thorough preparations in advance.

And later,
Shen Changchuan achieved a remarkable seven-game winning streak.

Furthermore, even against those with at least the strength of the top twenty, they can still instantly kill them with a single move using the power of space.

Such terrifying strength,

This truly troubled Liu Qingchen for quite some time.

Even he had to admit that, in terms of conventional methods, he could not possibly be a match for Shen Changchuan's spatial power.

The power of space,

She's such a supermodel!
Even a genius at the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, unleashing a full-force attack that is in no way inferior to that of an early-stage Divine Travel realm cultivator, can achieve such power.
It will still be directly defeated by attacks containing spatial power!
Liu Qingchen did not think so.
One's own attack would be an exception.
Even with the rudiments of true meaning added, it would likely be crushed.

We must avoid them and find other forces to counter them!

then,

Liu Qingchen then focused his attention on attack methods using the power of the soul!
