Lord of All Realms Chapter 1355: Spirit Channeling Sword Intent

WHOOSH!
A glorious banner that was thousands of meters wide traveled through a vast expanse of the void to this part of the starry river.
Countless stars could be seen being born and perishing in the banner. They moved in a profound way, as if to manifest the constant changes and the great Dao of this starry river.
As soon as the banner flew out, an immense, heaven-filling divine power spread from it like crushing waves.
Those with cultivation bases below the Saint domain felt dazzled merely by looking at it from afar.
After looking at it for a while, many of them had a peculiar feeling of their soul awareness drowning in it.
After examining it closely for a while, Ji Yuanquan gasped, his whole body trembling as he found this hard to believe. “The All Manifestations Star Banner has reached the fourth level Immortal grade!”
Ye Wenhan’s expression flickered. “The fourth level? It barely passed as a first level Immortal grade divine tool when it was first forged. Then, it took Luo Wanxiang several dozen millennia to refine it into a second level Immortal grade divine tool. What allowed it to advance to the fourth level within such a short time?”
Even Fan Tianze’s expression flickered. “A fourth level Immortal grade divine tool!”
Nie Tian frowned. “Fourth level? Last time when he retreated in defeat, his All Manifestations Star Banner dropped from the third level to the second level. I can’t believe it’s at the fourth level now that we meet again.”
Something special must have happened to Luo Wanxiang.
“Limpid Cyan Sword! Heaven Sunder!”
As Fan Tianze exclaimed softly, a divine sword flew out of his palm, emanating cyan light.
Immediately afterwards, Fan Tianze activated his dharma idol. Grabbing the divine sword, he slashed it with heaven-rending, earth-crushing power, splitting the void that was under the influence of the All Manifestations Star Banner.
“Wake up, all of you!” As he shouted, everyone that was lost looking at the All Manifestations Star Banner snapped out of their daze.
“The All Manifestations Star Banner is vested with a soul magic: Sea of Illusory Stars!” Fang Yuan called out. “If you stare at it for too long, you’ll be lost inside of it!”
“All Void domain cultivators! Return to the Realm of Maelstrom!” Fan Tianze exclaimed.
Many Void domain Qi warriors from the Golden Vast Sect, the Divine Seal Sect, and the Thousandsword Mountain Sect had come to help Nie Tian fight in the upcoming battle.
But now, upon hearing Fan Tianze’s words, they sensibly dove towards the Realm of Maelstrom like falling stars, enveloped in their domains.
They secretly heaved sighs of relief as they did.
After all, Luo Wanxiang hadn’t even arrived yet. They had done nothing more than look at his All Manifestations Star Banner, which had floated here by itself, and they almost lost control of themselves.
If Fan Tianze hadn’t lent them a hand, they would have lost more than half of their soul power already.
“Brother Fan from the Heaven Span Pavilion.” Luo Wanxiang’s remote, unhurried voice echoed from the distant starry river. “The Limpid Cyan Sword, a third level Immortal grade divine tool that’s been passed down in the Heaven Span Pavilion for generations.”
Immediately afterwards, his dharma idol arrived.
Surrounded by countless stars, his enormous dazzling form entered everyone’s sight.
“Hmm?!” Fang Yuan and Wang Meijia, who had seen his dharma idol before, gasped in astonishment upon seeing him.
Taken aback, Nie Tian said, “It seems that both his divine tool and himself have grown stronger with the Phantasms’ help after our previous encounter in the Domain of Frigid Depths.
Luo Wanxiang’s dharma idol was unprecedentedly large and dazzling, with power running through his meridians like shooting stars. The fragmentary stars hovering around him were so bright that people didn’t dare to look directly at them.
Wave after wave of immense dominating auras spread from him, putting a grim expression on everyone's faces, including Fan Tianze’s.
Looking deeply surprised, Fan Tianze said, “It seems that you’re ready to enter the late God domain. I really didn’t expect you to make such rapid advances in the past few years. It seems that I underestimated you.”
“You won’t from now on,” Luo Wanxiang said coldly.
The color of his pupils suddenly changed, becoming cyan and misty like those of a Phantasm.
Eyes devilishly cyan, he exclaimed, “That Nine Stars Flower has transformed into a Heaven Nourished grade star treasure, a Heavenly Stars Flower! Such a wondrous plant. It was because of it that I suffered a great loss in the Domain of Frigid Depths! As a junior, you don’t deserve to have such a precious treasure!”
His dharma idol’s enormous hand reached towards Nie Tian, as if to claw the Heavenly Stars Flower from his domain.
Unmasked greed filled his face as he exclaimed, “If I can refine it into my All Manifestations Star Banner, it’ll help my Immortal grade divine tool make at least two advances, and enter the sixth level! Perhaps it’ll present the opportunity I need to enter the late God domain!
“Give it to me!”
With unstoppable, heaven-crushing might, his huge heaven-blocking hand descended like a river of glorious stars.
“Vice Sectmaster!” Fang Yuan roared. “I can’t believe you’re going to take Nie Tian’s precious treasure! Do you still consider yourself a member of our sect?”
With a derisive snort, Luo Wanxiang said, “Even if I said I’m still a vice sectmaster of the Ancient Fragmentary Star Palace, would you acknowledge that? Whatever. I don’t care about that anymore. After I get that Heavenly Stars Flower, advance to the late God domain, and lift my All Manifestations Star Banner to the sixth level Immortal grade, where can’t I go in this boundless starry river?”
Fan Tianze smiled coldly. “Quit dreaming!”
With these words, he slowly swung the Limpid Cyan Sword.
An incomparably sharp sword intent that could end heaven and crush earth shot forth, along with countless glittering sword lights. Each and every one of them seemed to be spiritual, elated, and extraordinarily intelligent thanks to thorough refinement.
“Every sword light is spiritual, and has its own awareness!” Ji Yuanquan exclaimed softly.
“Limpid Cyan Sword, Heaven Span Sword’s Cry!” Ye Wenhan also exclaimed in shock.
SHEW! SHEW! CHIRP! CHIRP! The cries of thousands of sword lights echoed out simultaneously.
Nie Tian jerked his head up.
Under his gaze, countless wisps of sword intent released by the Limpid Cyan Sword swooped excitedly towards the enormous falling hand like hundreds of thousands of curious living beings.
As they gnawed at the huge hand, two different types of divine power clashed violently.
FIZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!
Countless rays of starlight and sword intent seemed to have become alive, as they engaged in a fierce battle like the troops of two different species. There were ones being killed and ones being born with every passing second.
Nie Tian watched the huge falling hand slowly be eliminated by the river of glittering sword lights.
Fan Tianze and Luo Wanxiang were both at the middle God domain. Fan Tianze’s Limpid Cyan Sword was one level lower than Luo Wanxiang’s All Manifestations Star Banner. However, his profound understanding of sword incantations allowed him to overpower Luo Wanxiang.
BOOM!
The huge hand glittering with starlight finally exploded and vanished.
Letting out a cold harrumph, Luo Wanxiang’s dharma idol grabbed the All Manifestations Star Banner and swung it over his shoulders like a glorious divine cape.
Then, his dharma idol slowly vanished from everyone’s sight, as if to leave for the depths of the starry river to strengthen himself with power he absorbed from the stars.
RUUUUMBLE!
The rumbles of ancient starships grew closer and increasingly more deafening.
Soon, a fleet of Phantasm ancient starships emerged one after another with Phantasms standing on them. Like famished sharks, they stared at Nie Tian and the others with bloodthirsty eyes.
The flesh auras of ninth grade grand patriarchs slowly rose from the starships like pillars of cyan light.
Grand Monarch Dark Nether suddenly revealed himself and shouted, “Nie Tian!”
“I’m here,” Nie Tian answered.
He bowed towards Fan Tianze and said, “Please take care of Luo Wanxiang for us, Senior Fan.”
Afterwards, he stepped towards Grand Monarch Dark Nether. “I can’t believe you dare to come here to court death after your defeat in the Domain of Forbidden Heaven. Do you take the human domains as your backyard where you can come and go as you please?”
“Nie Tian!” Grand Monarch Dark Nether bellowed. “My people made three Spirit Pearls. You stole one and refined the other two into the one in your hand! As our precious treasure, they record the secrets of my people’s origin! If you don’t give it back, we’ll hunt you down and kill you wherever you hide!”
Nie Tian let out a wild laugh. “I’m standing right here, and I have the Spirit Pearl on me. See if you can take it.”
WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Mo Qianfan and Yu Suying stood behind him, one on his left and the other on his right.
Both of them were at the early God domain.
Mo Qianfan, who was well-versed in lightning power, was the Phantasms’ natural bane. He might emerge victorious even if he were to fight the early tenth grade Grand Monarch Dark Nether one-on-one.
Not to mention that he had Yu Suying’s help.
Ji Yuanquan and Ye Wenhan, who were also at the God domain, eyed the Phantasms as well. Even ten Phantasm grand patriarchs wouldn’t pose a threat to them.
FIZZ! FIZZ!
In the dark starry river behind the Phantasm starships, the Wheel of Time and Space appeared and started to spin slowly.
Pei Qiqi was the first to notice it. Eyes lighting up, she exclaimed, “A spatial treasure! The Phantasms are creating spatial tunnels with it.”
Ji Yuanquan nodded and said, “Let them come. The Wheel of Time and Space is at work. I’m sensing it as well. I want to see how many Demon and Fiend grand monarchs they’ve gathered.”
Ye Wenhan agreed. “Come as they may. It’d be more troublesome if they invade the Domain of the Falling Stars and the Domain of Heaven’s Boundaries instead.”
Knowing that the Wheel of Time and Space was being used to transfer the Fiend and Demon troops to this place, they didn’t try to stop it.
They were well-aware that the Fiends and Demons had long since finished regrouping outside the Domain of Heaven Python, and been waiting for this great battle.
The outsiders had planned for this invasion for a long time. Gupi just happened to give them a perfect opportunity.
