Chapter 365 - 48: Chaos Sacred Temple, Prepare to Launch _1
However, when Sword Dao Ancestor’s attack made contact with the small sword of Wan Jian Dao Ancestor, it instantly shattered without any resistance.
This was the difference in their strength.
Even after so many years, there was still a gap between Sword Dao Ancestor and Wan Jian Dao Ancestor!
In the end, Sword Dao Ancestor barely blocked Wan Jian Dao Ancestor’s attack, but there was no joy on his face.
This was only the first sword, there will be two more to come!
The eighteenth sword!
Yet another slash, even more inconspicuous than the previous one!
Sword Dao Ancestor didn’t hesitate and used his defensive Holy Artifact directly!
Boom!
With the explosion of the Holy Artifact, Sword Dao Ancestor was propelled away.
“Hahaha!”
Sword Dao Ancestor laughed heartily, filled with excitement.
“Wan Jian, your three swords can’t defeat me!”
The eighteenth sword was the most powerful move in the Sword Canon of Wan Jian.
This sword used to be Sword Dao Ancestor’s nightmare.
But now, he had blocked that sword.
Even if it was achieved by detonating the Holy Artifact, a block was a block.
If he could block this sword, it meant that he could block the next one too.
With a thought, Sword Dao Ancestor took out another two Holy Artifacts and held them in front of him.
From within the dust and smoke, the figure of Wan Jian Dao Ancestor gradually emerged.
The explosion of the Holy Artifact had not affected Wan Jian Dao Ancestor in the slightest.
“Sword Dao, after all these years, you have not improved at all!”
Although the cultivation level of Sword Dao Ancestor had increased quite a bit, his swordsmanship hadn’t made any progress.
Being an Invincible Taoist Ancestor just like him, Wan Jian Dao Ancestor still looked down on Sword Dao Ancestor.
In Sword Dao Ancestor’s swordsmanship, Wan Jian Dao Ancestor saw the shadow of many Sword Dao Ancestors.
If one could not improve, they could only rely on integrating the swordsmanship of others.
Such a person was not worthy of practicing swordsmanship.
“Wan Jian, you’ve also not made any progress over the years! Who gave you the right to criticize me!”
Faced with Wan Jian Dao Ancestor’s criticism, Sword Dao Ancestor was very disgruntled.
Back then, he could never catch up with Wan Jian Dao Ancestor in the path of the sword.
In the same era, every sword cultivator faced the despair of being against a sword genius like Wan Jian Dao Ancestor.
No matter how hard Sword Dao Ancestor tried, he could never catch up with Wan Jian Dao Ancestor.
Finally, when Wan Jian Dao Ancestor disappeared, he thought his nightmare was over.
But now, with the reappearance of Wan Jian Dao Ancestor, he was once again confronted with the fear he had faced in the past.
“Wan Jian, why didn’t you die in the Sea of Primordial Chaos, why did you come back!”
This time, aside from wanting to acquire Wan Jian Dao Ancestor’s Sword Canon, Sword Dao Ancestor also wanted to eradicate the lineage of Wan Jian Dao Ancestor.
He wanted to obliterate all traces of Wan Jian Dao Ancestor in the Pangu Universe.
In response to Sword Dao Ancestor’s words, Wan Jian Dao Ancestor had completely lost the desire to respond.
“Third Sword!”
The twenty-first sword!
This sword was a new sword technique that Wan Jian Dao Ancestor had created in the Sea of Primordial Chaos.
The exhaustion of power allowed Wan Jian Dao Ancestor to appreciate the essence of swordsmanship and progress further on this path.
One must admit that in terms of talent in swordsmanship, there is nobody in the entire Pangu Universe that can rival Wan Jian Dao Ancestor.
This was also the gap between Sword Dao Ancestor and Wan Jian Dao Ancestor, it was about their degree of dedication to swordsmanship!
Feeling the power of the twenty-first sword, Sword Dao Ancestor’s eyes widened.
How could this be? Wasn’t the eighteenth sword the most powerful attack of Wan Jian Dao Ancestor?
Why was there now an additional sword?
He had not gained any new insights on swordsmanship for tens of thousands of years, but why could Wan Jian Dao Ancestor so easily achieve greater success?
The previously confident Sword Dao Ancestor no longer held any assurances.
The two defensive Holy Artifacts could not bring him a sense of security!
“Block it for me!”
In his heart, Sword Dao Ancestor howled, and without hesitation, he detonated the two defensive Holy Artifacts, hoping to withstand the attack from Wan Jian Dao Ancestor using this power.
A sword lightly passed through Sword Dao Ancestor’s body.
“This sword was never meant to cut your physical body!”
Sword Dao Ancestor suddenly felt his understanding of swordsmanship start to crumble.
The wisdom of swordsmanship that he had spent hundreds of thousands of years gathering had silently collapsed at this moment.
Then, his cultivation level started to disintegrate slowly!
His cultivation level of the Invincible Taoist Ancestor Realm couldn’t stop the abnormal movements in his body.
Wan Jian Dao Ancestor sheathed his sword and left the scene!
Without his cultivation level, the previously upright body of Sword Dao Ancestor began to age rapidly.
In just a moment, he turned into an old man.
Even though he didn’t die instantly, without the cultivation level, death was still his final destination!
All the scenes of Sword Dao Ancestor’s life flashed in his mind, from birth to the present.
Suddenly, he realized that the happiest moment of his life was when he just started learning swordsmanship.
Afterward, what he sought was no longer swordsmanship, but power.
At this moment, he finally understood why he could never catch up with Wan Jian Dao Ancestor in swordsmanship.
Because his pursuit of the sword was not pure enough.
Ironically, Sword Dao Ancestor’s talent in swordsmanship was not inferior to Wan Jian Dao Ancestor.
What he lacked was the dedication to the sword!
What Wan Jian Dao Ancestor pursued was always that same sword he began practicing with!
“Wan Jian, I admit defeat!”
Sword Dao Ancestor closed his eyes. This time, there was no resentment, he had finally found his release!
