Chapter 41: The Silence of the Sword Path, Re-creating the Great Luo

  Li Yi killed with great enthusiasm, like a meat grinder that didn't stop crushing the fierce beasts and Mo Yu cultivators. Gradually, Li Yi forgot himself, his body instinctively commanding the Twin Lotus to continuously launch attacks, his eyes also slowly closing.

  Suddenly enlightened, Li Yi actually had an epiphany on the battlefield, countless cultivators envied him, and even after a hundred million years of quiet cultivation, it was hard to encounter such an opportunity, but Li Yi encountered it.

  Enlightenment is a wonderful state, and it's hard for anyone to describe what this state is like in detail. It's just known that this has little to do with the height of one's cultivation or moral integrity. It's possible for an ordinary heavenly immortal to suddenly become enlightened one day, while a great golden immortal who has been quietly cultivating for tens of millions of years may not even have touched the gates of enlightenment.

  However, all masters know that enlightenment is a great opportunity, which can be encountered but not sought after. Every master who has gone through enlightenment will have their realm elevated, and the extent to which they reach depends on the individual. Some masters with exceptional talents may even create an unparalleled divine power in their enlightenment.

  Li Yi felt as if he had entered a magical world, where his mind was clear and free of thoughts. Many things that he couldn't understand or think through in the past suddenly became crystal clear to him in an instant.

  Innumerable mysteries about killing and life are presented one by one, Li Yi's understanding of killing and life becomes more transparent, and he constantly corrects and perfects it.

  In a daze, the twin lotus appeared before Li Yi's eyes. As Li Yi's killing intent and the mysteries of life were corrected and perfected, "Boom!!!" The entire twin lotus burst open, and the scattered lotus petals began to reassemble along a mysterious trajectory. This time, however, there was no longer a stem, and a rotating Taiji diagram appeared in the void.

  This Tai Chi diagram is half green and half black, with a deep and profound twelve-petaled black lotus platform at the yin-yang eye position and a lush and dripping twelve-petaled cyan lotus platform.

  As the Tai Chi diagram took shape, Li Yi's epiphany did not stop there. The Tai Chi diagram spun faster and faster, finally forming a swirling illusion.

  Nirvana, transcending life and death, entering a state of stillness and inaction; Nirvana is absolute stillness, entering the cycle of no birth and no destruction; Nirvana is eternity, from life to death, from death to life, the cycle of life and death, and between cycles is Nirvana...

  Thoughts about Nirvana kept flashing through his mind, being comprehended by Li Yi who was in a state of sudden enlightenment.

  The Taiji diagram is now rotating at its fastest speed, forming a light ball, as if it were incubating something. Finally, "Bang...", the light ball bursts open and a new Taiji diagram appears.

  At this time, the Taiji diagram is different again. All the green light and black light are retracted into two lotus platforms. The Taiji diagram presents a gradual chaos color, seeming to move but not moving, seeming to be true but also seeming to be false, emitting an eternal atmosphere, mysterious and unpredictable. Meanwhile, the two lotus platforms rotate in two opposite directions.

  At this moment, the Taiji diagram in Li Yi's body also rotated wildly, slowly becoming consistent with the Taiji diagram formed during his epiphany. The power of slaughter was thoroughly ground and merged with the power of life, freely converting between them, with life containing death and death hiding life.

  Li Yi's body suddenly paused on the battlefield, his eyes opened, and a joyful expression appeared on his face. "It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy, I've finally achieved 'Jiemi Sword Dao'."

  Li Yi glanced at the ferocious beasts nearby, his mouth slightly curled up, "Alright, I just grasped the Jianmo Sword Path, let's use you all to test its power."

  A black and a green light rose from the ancient sword of Qinglian, like two long dragons entwining each other, slowly forming an ancient Taiji diagram in the air above the ferocious beast, enveloping the surrounding tens of miles.

  The Taiji diagram slightly pressed down, a strange scene appeared. Those ferocious beasts that were usually extremely cruel and violent suddenly became quiet, the blood red in their eyes slowly receded, revealing calm and peaceful expressions.

  Dark lights descended one by one, and those ferocious beasts seemed to have lost their souls, ignoring the arrival of the dark lights. Soon, countless sword auras differentiated from the dark lights, sweeping across all the ferocious beasts, forming a dense bloody fog. The bloody fog gathered together, seeping out countless green light points, forming a beam of light that was cast onto the green lotus platform.

  In an instant, the black light pillar expanded twice as large again, differentiating into even more sword energies and forming a benign cycle.

  "Unfortunately, my soul and will can only support the Taiji diagram for about 50 kilometers, and there is also a time limit. Otherwise, with this one move, I can almost wipe out all cultivators below the Mahayana stage." Li Yi could absorb vitality from killing, so he didn't lack magical power, but his willpower was constantly being consumed.

  Just like ordinary people's physical strength and mental power, physical strength can be replenished through diet, but mental power cannot. Once the consumption of mental power exceeds the tolerable limit, it will collapse and die.

  Li Yi gazed at the countless ferocious beasts turning into dust in the Taiji diagram, still feeling relatively satisfied with this experiment.

  But Li Yi didn't know that he had already been targeted by Daluo Jinxian of the Beast Domain and the Demon Domain. Although there were many cultivators on the battlefield, the phenomenon caused by Li Yi was too obvious. Wherever he went, he left a blank space, and countless beasts and demon domain cultivators were annihilated.

  This is too out of line compared to killing each of the masters one by one, it's impossible not to notice.

  Li Yi, who was concentrating on killing the enemy, suddenly felt a chill in his heart. "Not good," Li Yi didn't have time to think and immediately merged with his sword to escape from his original position.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, a blood-red magic knife cut across horizontally.

  "If it wasn't for his quick reflexes, he would have been cut in two by now," Li Yi thought to himself with a surge of anger.

  "Hmph, you're quite quick," a burly man with an aura of slaughter appeared before Li Yi.

  "Is this Da Luo Golden Immortal?" Li Yi looked at the big man in front of him with a puzzled expression. As a Da Luo Golden Immortal, why would he go out of his way to cause trouble for a single Golden Immortal like himself? After a moment's thought, he realized that it was because he had been too showy and had caught the attention of Da Luo Golden Immortal.

  "Whatever, that Da Luo Jinxian will definitely not let me off, so I can only fight it out," Li Yi quickly cleared his mind after countless battles.

  "Go die," Li Yi bellowed, as a sword light burst out of the Tai Chi diagram and enveloped the big Han.

  "Hmph!" The big man's eyes flashed a deep, cold light. A small Golden Immortal dared to make the first move? Although that was the case, as he gazed at the approaching Taiji diagram, his expression became quite serious. After all, he had long since noticed that this Taiji diagram was extremely unusual, seemingly having a hypnotic effect.

  Facing countless black sword auras, the big man didn't lose his composure. Although these sword auras were extremely powerful and would be troublesome for even a Mahayana Golden Immortal, the big man simply waved his hand and a bloody light shield blocked the sword auras.

  "Huh!" The big man let out a surprised cry, he found that his vitality was constantly flowing away, even the vitality in the Blood Light Shield was slowly disappearing and becoming weaker.

  "The Taiji Diagram is devouring the vitality of life," thought Da Han, recalling the strange circumstances of the death of the fierce beast, and his face quickly turned solemn.

  "I won't be able to keep this up, or I'll wither away into a mummy," the big man exclaimed in terror as he discovered his vitality was draining away faster and faster, even his soul growing weaker, while the sword energy outside grew denser.

  "Kill!" The big Han's eyes glared, and a blood-red magic knife flew out of his body, transformed into a ten-zhang-sized giant knife, swooshing towards the Taiji diagram to slash.

  "Bang......"

  The entire Taiji diagram began to tremble, and cracks appeared one after another. "Puff", Li Yi spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, staring at the Taiji diagram that was about to split open, with a deep and sinister killing intent flashing in his eyes.

  "Give me fusion," Li Yi poured his life force and killing intent into the Taiji diagram, his willpower also frantically pouring in, the cracks gradually disappearing.

  The Tai Chi diagram flashed a faint light, and suddenly the Great Han felt as if he had entered a quiet world. This world exuded an eternal atmosphere, as if this was the final destination of all living things.

  Gradually, Da Han's eyes revealed a hint of confusion, his blood flow slowed down, and even his thoughts gradually came to a standstill. His life force was disappearing, his body began to rot, and he was step by step walking towards the abyss.

  "Yīn!!!!!!!!!’

  A burst of sword hums, in the great Han's mind a towering giant wave is set off, the magic knife feels itself going to decay and cannot help but let out a mournful cry.

  It was actually Da Luo Jinxian, who had gone through the baptism of the long river of fate, his soul extremely condensed. As soon as he heard the sound of a knife, he immediately woke up and broke out in a cold sweat.

  "The aura, since there's such a terrible aura," Da Han discovered with trepidation that his vitality had actually decreased by 1/3. If he was any later, he might have fallen.

  The Great Han did not dare to slack off, took out hundreds of pieces of the Heavenly Spirit Treasure, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Explode for me".

  "Not good," Li Yi thought as he observed the actions of the Great Han through his mind, and just wanted to withdraw, but unfortunately it was too late.

  Rumble rumble!!!

  The Taiji diagram was thoroughly shattered, "Puff!" This counter-attack was too great, Li Yi spat out several mouthfuls of blood, his spirit wilted for a moment, and his internal organs showed cracks, more severe than the injuries he sustained when Jin Ying Wang chased him down. Especially the trauma to his spiritual will, it would take tens of thousands of years to recover from this.

  Li Yi suffered a backlash and Da Han was also badly hurt. First, he lost 1/3 of his vitality, and then he was injured again when his self-destructive magic treasure exploded. Now, at most, he only has half of his combat power left.

  "Ah!!!! I will tear you to pieces, your soul will be tormented by the nine-underworld fire for billions of years!" The big man's eyes emitted two eerie glows, staring at Li Yi with malice.

  "Hmph", Li Yi was too lazy to bother with him, this was originally a life-and-death situation, "Hmph, I'll let you experience the true power of the Jianmo Sword Path".

  Li Yi held a sword in one hand, and the power of life and death intertwined wildly on the Qinglian ancient sword. "Cut!"

  A gray arc of light, tens of meters long, gradually appeared in the air, emitting a deep and desolate aura, silently shooting towards the big Han.

  "Kill!" The blood-red magic knife emitted a ten-thousand-zhang red light, flying towards Li Yi.

  Something that made Da Han's soul fly and scatter happened, the red light on the magic knife was brutally extinguished, and the gray arc of light killed him without any hindrance.

  "I'll be back for you," the big man roared reluctantly, casting a venomous glance at Li Yi.

  BOOM!!!!!!!

  The Great Han suddenly self-destructed his physical body, and a blood-red soul flew out of the mushroom cloud.

  "Cough, cough!!" Li Yi looked at the blood-red soul body but was too weak to chase after it, "No use, I have to leave quickly, or else another Da Luo Golden Immortal will come and I'll really be done for."

  Li Yi transformed into a stream of light and quickly flew to the front of a black giant coffin, quickly formed a handprint, and escaped into the giant coffin.
