My name is Huang Tian, ​​what the hell is this "Heaven is dead" nonsense?

Chapter 115 Blade! Blade Qi! Blades Filling the Sky!

As Huang Tian left the last of the four major sects, his mind was overflowing with inspiration, and many ideas floated into his head.

He rode on horseback, closed his eyes, and did not steer, letting the dragon horse carry him to the distance.

The dragon horse seemed to know that its master had entered a mysterious state, so it dared not run fast and instead walked lightly on the ground.

We walked through weeds and wildflowers, through lush thickets, to the main road, and then deviated from it.

"Roar~~"

A tiger's roar came from afar, echoing in all directions and startling the forest birds into flight.

The dragon horse suddenly became interested and carried its master slowly towards a mountain peak ahead.

That mountain, though called a mountain, is actually not very high; it's more like a gentle slope.

Looking into the distance, on the gentle slope, there were five young men and women with several guards, leading horses and spreading out mats, seemingly about to sit down and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

"Brother Qin, this place is really amazing. When we were climbing up the mountain, it didn't look very high, just like a small hill, but when we got here, we found that there was actually a steep cliff in front of us!"

A girl in a green dress looked curiously down the cliff, only to see the rock face mottled, the rocks withered and yellow, and clumps of shrubs and wild grasses growing on the slope, dotted with scattered greenery.

Below, clusters of soft, white clouds, like cotton, drifted slowly across the mountainside, revealing glimpses of the valley below.

Deep in the valley, the roars of tigers and the cries of monkeys could be heard from time to time, their voices sometimes deep and powerful, sometimes high-pitched, as if they were calling to each other.

The man called Brother Qin was a young man of about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, dressed in black and with a knife at his waist. He said with a smile, "This place is called Divine Blade Cliff. Legend has it that a martial arts master wielded a divine blade and fought his enemy here. With one strike, he cleaved this steep cliff thousands of feet high."

The girl in the green dress exclaimed in surprise, "There's such a legend? I wonder if it's true or not?"

Brother Qin shook his head, "I don't know either. This legend is too ancient. If I hadn't accidentally seen it in an ancient book from a hundred years ago, I wouldn't know about the legend of this place."

Upon hearing this, the girl turned to look at a young man dressed in a moon-white robe. "Brother Liu, I remember you are from this county. Have you heard of this matter?"

"As far as I can remember, there shouldn't be one."

The young man surnamed Liu tapped his head lightly with his folding fan. "Besides, this legend is definitely false. What kind of martial arts master could cleave such a deep and wide cliff with a single strike?"

"Even a Grandmaster level expert won't do?" the girl in the green dress pressed.

Brother Qin subconsciously touched the knife in his hand. "I've heard that a Grandmaster's full-force strike is enough to shatter mountains and stop rivers, but even that shouldn't be enough to create such a spectacle with a single strike... However, I am only a seventh-rank martial artist after all, and I have never truly witnessed a Grandmaster in action, so I dare not speak rashly."

The girl in the green dress looked on with admiration and said, "Brother Qin, you are already very strong to have reached the seventh rank at such a young age. My grandfather is only at the sixth rank."

Seeing the young woman giving Brother Qin a flirtatious look, the young man surnamed Liu was not pleased. He scoffed, "Don't be fooled by the fact that there's only one realm separating the seventh and sixth ranks. In reality, it's like an insurmountable chasm. Ordinary people can't cross it even in half a lifetime. What can they do but lament? What can they do but lament?"

Upon hearing this, the girl in the green dress immediately rolled her eyes at him.

Brother Qin chuckled, showing no anger. Although he wasn't very old, he had been traveling the world for many years and could easily see the young man surnamed Liu's feelings for the girl in the green dress.

Unfortunately, he was willing, but she was not.

As for myself, I will soon part ways with these young men and women who are going on a spring outing, so I can't be bothered to get involved in their love affairs.

Brother Qin didn't respond, and the young man surnamed Liu, feeling awkward, snorted and went off to admire the scenery on the cliff edge. The girl in the green dress spread a mat on the ground and placed some of the fruits she had brought on it.

The remaining few also spread out mats, took out fine wine, and sat down to drink and chat in a pretentious manner.

As everyone was enjoying the breeze, drinking and laughing, a young man suddenly looked into the distance and said, "There's someone riding a horse over there."

The young man surnamed Liu looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, on a tall and strong steed sat a boy carrying a long box on his back.

"That person seems to be asleep?" the girl in the green dress asked curiously. "Can someone sleep while sitting on horseback?"

Brother Qin's gaze sharpened. 'That horse is truly magnificent, far superior to ordinary horses. This young man must be of extraordinary origin.'

"It's fate that we've met. Shall we call him over for a drink?" The young man surnamed Liu snapped open his fan and gently shook it.

The girl in the green dress nodded. "It's lively and fun with lots of people... Wait, why does that horse look like it's going to lead him off the cliff?"

However, the dragon horse carried Huang Tian and slowly arrived at the edge of the steep cliff. Huang Tian did not open his eyes, which startled the girl in the green dress.

"Watch out!" she shouted, trying to wake the boy.

Brother Qin raised his hand and said, "Don't panic. All things have a spirit. That horse is very strong and healthy. It's impossible for it to deliberately fall off the cliff to commit suicide."

As expected, after reaching the edge of the cliff, the dragon horse did not continue forward, but stood still, as if waiting for something.

"Roar~~"

A tiger's roar came from the valley below, and the dragon horse immediately became excited and neighed in response.

The two voices echoed endlessly in the valley below the cliff, responding to each other.

"This horse..." the girl in the green dress exclaimed in surprise, "is so intelligent!"

The young man surnamed Liu's eyes lit up. "It is indeed a fine horse, better than all the hundred or so horses I keep at home! I wonder where that boy bought it from; I'll have to ask him later."

Brother Qin didn't speak, but carefully examined the dragon horse, finding it increasingly familiar with him.

"This...this is a dragon horse?!" he exclaimed in surprise.

"Jiaoma?"

The others all turned their gazes toward it, but the young man surnamed Liu exclaimed in surprise, "It really does seem to be... Jiao Ma is full of spirituality and is brave and fearless, so it is very valuable. You can't see it at all in our small county. Even in the county town, I have only seen it twice. If Brother Qin hadn't told me, I wouldn't have recognized it."

The young man who first saw Huang Tian clicked his tongue and said, "Judging from this, that boy must come from a wealthy family, otherwise how could he afford a dragon horse?"

“I’ll go invite him over for a drink!” said the young man surnamed Liu, standing up.

"This person..."

Compared to the others, Brother Qin felt that the young man was very familiar...

"A dragon horse, a young man, an arrow box..."

He vaguely realized something, his eyes widened, and he could hardly believe it.

"Don't go over there yet! I think I know who he is!" he suddenly said, calling out to the young man surnamed Liu.

The young man surnamed Liu was taken aback. "Do you know him? Do you recognize him?"

Everyone looked at Brother Qin, whose voice was deep and solemn, "He might be Huang Tian!" "Huang Tian?!"

A voice filled with extreme shock rang out, surprising not only the young men and women, but also the guards who gaped in astonishment.

The girl in the green dress widened her eyes. "Brother Qin, are you talking about Huang Tian, ​​the one who single-handedly destroyed the Flying Phoenix Sect and subdued the four major sects?!"

Even though she was a woman and didn't usually care much about the affairs of the martial arts world, she had still heard about the major events that had happened in Kunyun County in the past month or two.

Aside from the suspected emergence of the Juntian Zhenhai Ruler, the most sensational event was Huang Tian's rampage through a prefecture, where he slaughtered and subdued five sects.

“That’s right, it’s him!” Brother Qin said with increasing certainty. “According to the legend, Huang Tian rode a dragon horse and carried an arrow box. Moreover, he was not very old, about sixteen or seventeen years old, which matches this person perfectly.”

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath and scrutinized the young man on the dragon horse. Upon closer inspection, they indeed felt that he possessed an extraordinary temperament and was no ordinary person.

The young man surnamed Liu lowered his voice and said excitedly, "I never expected that we would encounter such a legendary expert on a trip!"

One person suggested, "Should we go over and say a few words? Maybe we can get some guidance or even a reward?"

The group exchanged glances, all somewhat tempted, but Brother Qin spoke up to dissuade them, saying, "We have no relation to him, so it's not good to disturb him rashly. Besides, his condition seems a bit off."

However, he noticed Huang Tian's state of being neither asleep nor awake.

After his persuasion, the group hesitated.

At this moment, a strange shriek rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Huang Tian riding on his horse, his true energy exploding outwards, and an extremely violent tornado hurricane shot into the sky!

The whirlwind grew larger and larger, rising into the sky to a height of several dozen feet, with hundreds of white-gold streams swirling around, resembling extremely sharp blades of energy.

Those blade-like energies swept across the sky, then, like a surging river, sliced ​​through layers of air and spread in all directions!

"Back off!!"

Brother Qin let out a terrified scream and hurriedly ran further away, while the others also ran away in fright.

In just ten breaths, the place where they had been standing was crisscrossed with ravines by the mighty blade energy, making everyone's scalp tingle.

"Cough cough! Back up further! Back up further!!"

The biting wind contorted Brother Qin's face. As soon as he opened his mouth, the cold wind rushed into his throat. He coughed twice before he could barely speak.

Led by him, the group ran further away.

They only stopped, still shaken, when they were about a hundred feet away and the wind had subsided.

Looking back at the white-gold gale that circled Huang Tian for dozens of feet, resembling a rainbow, he was deeply shocked.

"This! Is this the power of a Grandmaster?!" the young man surnamed Liu murmured. He was now somewhat convinced that the Divine Blade Cliff was created by a single strike from a powerful figure.

Brother Qin stroked the long sword at his waist, his eyes gleaming with admiration. "Such astonishing sword intent! Such terrifying sword intent! If I master even a hundred and one percent of it, I will be invincible at the seventh rank!"

Thinking this, he sat cross-legged on the spot, looked up and silently gazed at the distant yellow sky, concentrating on feeling the extremely sharp, majestic and domineering sword intent between heaven and earth!
Hehe~

Hundreds or even thousands of platinum-gold gales howled and swirled around Huang Tian, ​​cutting the air and emitting eerie shrieks.

Occasionally, a bird might stray into this place, but before it could even get close, it would explode into a cloud of blood mist dozens of feet away.

Beneath his feet, on the surface of the cliff, the hard rocks, weathered by wind and rain, were pulverized into dust, like smoke and mist.

Below the cliff, dozens of thick vines that had been climbing the rock face were uprooted, chopped into dark green powder, and scattered into the air along with the scattered stone powder, drifting down into the valley.

wow~
In a split second, the blood and qi in his body suddenly boiled!
The muscles and bones resonated, like the resounding of a bowstring, like the tolling of an ancient temple bell. The skin and membranes throughout the body trembled violently under the rapid surge of qi and blood, radiating a warm and jade-like luster.

The spiritual energy from all directions seemed to be drawn in, surging and converging into his body. The violent spiritual energy, upon contact with his vast, lead- and mercury-like blood and qi, immediately transformed into gentle and peaceful true qi, circulating throughout the body along the river of true qi.

puff~
A sound similar to a bottleneck breaking open rang out.

Martial Arts Level 4, you've broken through!

Even after breaking through, Huang Tian still hadn't awakened from that profound state. Instead, as his internal energy increased, the gale surrounding him grew stronger.

It was only because the gale-force winds avoided the dragon horse beneath him that the trembling horse was cut into mincemeat.

The gale howled like a knife, and black hair danced wildly like a snake!
wow~
In a fleeting moment, Huang Tian finally opened his eyes, his gaze devoid of both sorrow and joy.

Then, he slowly raised his palm.

To Brother Qin and the others in the distance, this raised palm seemed to be a god-emperor who looked exactly like Huang Tian, ​​sitting high and far in the Lingxiao Heaven Realm, with a will that disregarded all living beings and judged all things, slowly raising his hand!
As the God Emperor raised his hand, thousands of celestial blades formed from pure lightning and light appeared out of thin air behind him, each containing terrifying power to tear apart the sky and destroy everything!
Boom! !

The chilling heavenly sounds and deep thunder resounded deep within their souls. The majestic power of the heavens almost made their hearts stop, their blood and qi stagnated, and they felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance, as if they wanted to bow down and kneel in worship.

hum~
A silvery arc of light suddenly appeared in the air.

At first, it was tiny, only about a foot long.

However, as soon as the arc of light appeared, the surging true energy on Huang Tian's body and the spiritual energy between heaven and earth rushed wildly into that silver-white ribbon.

hold head high! !

A dragon roar sounded.

Suddenly, a blade of energy, hundreds of feet long, appeared in the sky!
The blade's energy was as condensed as ancient ice, its entire body flowing with a chilling, frosty white light.

The blade is as thick as a mountain, yet the edge is so thin it seems nonexistent, like a sliver of light.

Just being illuminated by the cold light of that long sword sent chills down everyone's spines, as if thousands of icy long swords were slashing at them!
"Giggle~"

My teeth chattered, my hair stood on end, and it felt like an electric current was running through my scalp.

wow~
The sword light in the sky grew brighter and brighter, accompanied by a loud buzzing sound.

Huang Tian raised his hand and gently waved it down, causing the sword energy in the sky to fall into the vast sea of ​​clouds below the cliff!
boom! !

The blade sliced ​​through the long, thick cloud layer, and countless clouds surged and rolled outwards along the trajectory of the long blade, churning violently like boiling water.

The chilling and majestic sword intent enveloped the surrounding area as if it were a tangible force, cutting all sand, stones, weeds, and vines into dust.

A fierce gale swept out from the sea of ​​clouds, causing Huang Tian's clothes to flutter wildly and his black hair to fly.

At this moment, this unparalleled heavenly blade, descending from the mountain peak, became the only existence in the world with its purest sharpness.

The sea of ​​clouds was divided in two, and the sunlight dimmed!
