Chapter 7027: Snow Warmed
Chapter 7027: Snow Warmed
He had just come up with this attack after the start of the battle. It couldn’t be seen with the naked eye, not even those of immortals. Only the heart could see it.
He unleashed the slash, melting the snow not with heat and raw power but rather, the warmth of his dao heart.
This was the crystallization of his lifelong efforts and comprehension of the dao heart. This was far more potent than his legend of killing numerous immortals while sitting in the pavilion.
He had a saber in his hand but it didn’t make a difference. Only a slash from the dao heart was eternal. The determination was enough for him to reach the shore.
“Clank!” Time came to a stop and the snowflakes froze in the air.
When time became normal again, everyone saw the snow melting due to the saber intent. This slash exceeded his saber art and broke through to the next level.
He overcame his limit during this battle of life and death. This rarely happened among weaker cultivators, let alone a primordial immortal.
Although spectators were merely watching, they shared the joy of learning the dao. Suddenly, perhaps spending their lives cultivating was worth it. They returned to when they were young, only fledglings joining the path.
“One life for this slash, worth it...” An immortal murmured.
“A slash from the heart, this is the original intent of cultivation, we are meant to remember this...” One immortal was moved to tears.
At the end of the icy world, Xiaolou Tingxue swung without hesitation since he needed to remain true to himself and keep his pride intact.
When the crowd regained their wits and observed the battle, they saw that the battlefield was devoid of snow outside of one thing - Li Qiye’s saber.
The difference was that it was now an inch away from Xiaolou Tingxue’s neck. They didn’t dare to move either, not wanting to lose their head from a slight movement.
Some let out a soft sigh. The joy and radiance of Xiaolou Tingxue’s dao ascension were now replaced by sorrow.
Everything lost its colors when the head fell to the ground. They couldn’t help but lament his fate. It would be a pity for him to die like this after learning the new slash.
“I’ve lost, go ahead.” Xiaolou Tingxue, on the other hand, remained calm despite having a blade resting against his neck. His heart was filled with joy from enlightenment.
“Not afraid of death anymore?” Li Qiye smiled.
“I am satisfied to have progressed in the dao. That slash was the pinnacle of my life, it is more than enough.” He smiled.
“It wasn’t a slash.” Li Qiye said.
“Yes, I unleashed the dao heart just now.” He said.
“You are enlightened.” Li Qiye said.
“And now, I am ready to die.” He nodded.
