C280 Heaven and Earth Vital Energy Sword(1)

As the second disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect and the leader of the Heavenly Martial Sect, Helian Bozhong's prowess in combat was anything but ordinary. He didn't disappoint the crowd; the moment he made his move, many people's expressions changed.

In just a few steps toward Woo Zhengyang, it was clear to the keen-eyed observers that his martial arts skills were of a high caliber, honed over many years. Those aware of his connection with Helian Hanhai understood the reason behind his expertise.

With such mastery in movement techniques, how could his attack skills be any less impressive? As the crowd watched with anticipation, the distance between Helian Bozhong and Woo Zhengyang grew smaller...

While advancing, the sword in Helian Bozhong's hand began to emit a faint glow. When he was about ten feet away from Woo Zhengyang, he raised his sword. The move seemed unremarkable, leaving the onlookers puzzled.

In the next moment, the wind and clouds surged, and the Vital Energy of Heaven and Earth suddenly became turbulent, rushing toward Helian Bozhong's sword...

"The first form of the 'Heavenly Origin Sword Technique,' Heavenly Origin Transforms into Sword!" someone exclaimed.

Those unfamiliar with this sword skill widened their eyes upon hearing its name. The 'Heavenly Origin Sword Technique' might not have a flashy name, but its origin from the Heavenly Martial Sect was what left everyone in awe. This technique was a top-tier Yellow Rank sword skill.

Inside the Heavenly Martial Sect, only inner disciples have the privilege to practice the "Heavenly Origin Sword Technique." The inner circle of the Heavenly Martial Sect is distinct from other factions. Here, you won't find a single Martial Disciple; even joining the outer circle requires reaching the Reality Condensing Stage, while inner disciples must have the prowess of a Shape Gathering Stage master. In other words, an inner disciple of the Heavenly Martial Sect could easily hold the position of an elder or leader in other sects, highlighting the immense power of the sect.

The "Heavenly Origin Sword Technique," though still a Yellow Rank skill, is nearly on par with a Profound Rank skill in terms of power. Its strength rivals even the lower-tier Profound Rank skills, earning it quite a reputation. Witnessing this sword technique in Heavenly Martial City isn't unusual, but seeing it executed by Helian Bozhong is rather unexpected.

"I remember a few years back, the Heavenly Martial Sect awarded the first move of this sword technique to someone, and that person had the same surname, Helian. It seems there's a connection to Helian Bozhong!"

"Even with just one move, its power shouldn't be underestimated. Woo Zhengyang might be in danger!"

"In my opinion, he's been in danger all along. Even without this move, as a Body Tempering cultivator who just stepped into the Martial Master Stage, could he really defeat Helian Bozhong in one strike? Helian Bozhong is definitely among the top three in combat strength among the sect disciples in Dongjue Country."

As the crowd buzzed with discussion, the sword in Helian Bozhong's hand began to change.

The wild surge of Heaven and Earth Vital Energy gathered and condensed outside the long sword, forming a massive sword of energy towering over twenty feet high!

"This was originally prepared for the Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, specifically for Moh Lunhui. Since you're so confident, let me use you to consecrate my sword!" Helian Bozhong sneered coldly.

"It's just an incomplete sword skill. Is there really a need to be so confident? It's only because I'm patient. If it were Moh Lunhui, you'd be long gone by now!" Woo Zhengyang realized he was picking up some of Nie Fengyu's habits, inadvertently mocking Helian Bozhong.

Woo Zhengyang had read some introductions about the "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique." He knew it was an unconventional path, a sword technique that took an unusual approach.

When Helian Bozhong charged forward earlier, the sword's aura was faint. Woo Zhengyang thought it was intentional. Now, it seemed that it wasn't restraint but rather an inability to fully unleash the sword's aura. At that moment, he wasn't channeling ordinary energy but Origin Genuine Qi.

Origin Genuine Qi is a natural energy inherent in humans. Some say it's innate energy, while others call it life-preserving energy. Regardless of the term, the importance of Origin Genuine Qi is undeniable.

In the path of cultivation, Origin Genuine Qi is indispensable. Only by awakening it can one draw in Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, refining it into genuine energy or condensing it into the skin, flesh, and bones. This forms the foundation for both energy cultivation and body tempering. In either case, Origin Genuine Qi is the cornerstone.

"The Celestial Sword Technique" transforms the path of cultivation into swordsmanship, using one's Origin Genuine Qi to draw in the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, channeling it onto the sword to wield as one's own.

"Man can conquer nature" is an ancient saying, a legend. In today's world of cultivators, no matter how powerful humans become, they cannot rival the forces of nature.

The unique aspect of "The Celestial Sword Technique" lies in its method of combining personal Qi with the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy, creating a power unmatched by ordinary martial skills. If an expert at the Shape Gathering Stage were to use it, Woo Zhengyang would indeed be wary. However, in the hands of Helian Bozhong, the technique's power is greatly diminished, losing much of its strength due to the prolonged charging process. Woo Zhengyang has plenty of ways to strike decisively during this time.

Yet, Woo Zhengyang chose not to. Having promised to let him make the first move, Woo Zhengyang would not go back on his word.
