Cultivating with Top Enlightenment

Amidst the gaze of countless eyes.

The Blade Demon approached slowly.

The scenery of Sunset Sword Sect was breathtakingly beautiful, with silver waterfalls cascading. Ever since the Sun Chasing Sword King's rise, the sect had ascended with astonishing speed, vaguely holding the position as the number one Sword Dao Holy Land in the world, housing various sacred places like the Sword Burial Pool and Sword King Peak.

In the past.

Sunset Sword Sect rarely entertained external guests.

But now, the Blade Demon's challenge was a grand event, and naturally, they couldn't show weakness, allowing many martial artists to watch from the periphery. People marveled at the heritage of Sunset Sword Sect while eagerly anticipating the upcoming battle.

No matter how the Blade Demon viewed it.

The Sun Chasing Sword King was currently the highest-ranking swordsman on the surface.

Ranked fifth on the Celestial Being List!

This was truly a peerless powerhouse standing at the pinnacle of Great Yan, even when accounting for those hidden monsters.

The Blade Demon stood beneath Sword King Peak, his jet-black pupils gazed over, slightly rippling. He perceived an extremely formidable sword intent hidden there, and if his intuition was correct, it should be someone walking a similar path to his own.

His battle intent soared, realizing that this Sun Chasing Sword King was stronger than imagined.

The blade intent surged skyward, sweeping across the layers of clouds, forming an invisible vortex. Countless people were horrified by this demonic blade intent, especially those who had witnessed every battle since the Blade Demon emerged, who were extremely excited.

They were loyal followers of the Blade Demon and could fully see that the Blade Demon had become stronger since emerging.

This also completely confirmed everyone's suspicions that the Blade Demon emerged to test his blade against the world's strongest, aiming to reach the Supreme realm.

The members of Sunset Sword Sect all gathered at Sword King Peak.

They were astonished in their hearts and bowed in unison, shouting:

"Please, Ancestor, come forth!"

Countless gazes converged on Sword King Peak, which was also surrounded by various mysterious legends. It was said that this was the place where the Sun Chasing Sword King attained Sword Enlightenment, originally just an ordinary mountain, but over time, every flower, plant, tree, and stone was imbued with powerful sword intent, earning it the name Sword King Peak.

In the past, people were unsure whether this legend was exaggerated by Sunset Sword Sect to enhance its reputation.

But upon witnessing today's events.

They realized their naivety.

As the members of Sunset Sword Sect finished their call, everyone saw the originally silent Sword King Peak come to life, sword intents surged into the sky, converging into form, creating an astonishing phenomenon like a grand sun, leaving people speechless.

A faint voice echoed:

"Stand down."

The crowd focused their gaze and saw a figure standing opposite the Blade Demon, the old man's brows and eyes like swords, a majestic presence, casually standing there with an overwhelming aura, naturally not an ordinary person to bear the name chasing the sun.

The Sun Chasing Sword King looked at the Blade Demon opposite, his gaze resting on the hilt of the demon's blade, with a sense of caution.

He softly remarked:

"The world is truly full of hidden talents. First, there was an unheard-of True Man Tianjian, and now you've emerged, unstoppable. Your blade, I fear, is nearly complete."

Everyone was astonished.

The Sun Chasing Sword King also mentioned True Man Tianjian, and his words seemed to hold him in high regard.

The Blade Demon slowly spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse:

"Still a bit short, you're not bad either."

The Sun Chasing Sword King laughed heartily, finding a sense of camaraderie in an unexpected encounter.

"Shall we decide victory in three moves?"

"Alright."

The Blade Demon's voice remained calm as ever, but everyone was astonished. Since his emergence, the Blade Demon had hardly spoken, only having exchanged a few words after his battle with Divine Wind Blade Venerate. But now, before the duel had even started, he was already conversing calmly with the Sun Chasing Sword King, showing his respect for him.

Everyone secretly anticipated.

They widened their eyes, even relaxing their breaths, fearing to disturb the duel of these two peerless powerhouses.

In an instant.

The wind and clouds shifted.

The Sun Chasing Sword King pointed with his hand, and a vast sword intent condensed, transforming into a radiant sun suspended high in the sky. Even from a distance, everyone could perceive the overwhelming sense of oppression. The myriad things in the world, be it divine mountains, great rivers, or deep seas, paled in comparison to the boundless grandeur of the sun.

The Sun Chasing Sword King bore the name chasing the sun, not to pursue the sun like Kuafu, but to pursue his own sword intent to be as vast and boundless as the sun.

At this moment, as he made his move, it instantly caused a shock among countless people. Such sword intent was rare in the world; it was clear the Sun Chasing Sword King had made further progress since last taking action.

The Blade Demon's jet-black pupils rippled, his battle intent surged, and he gently caressed the hilt of his blade.

The terrifying demonic nature rose and swept, the Blade Demon at this moment seemed to transform into the Demon Blade, someone recognized it; this was the unparalleled blade that defeated Divine Wind Blade Venerate, the Human Demon Blade!

The two peerless powerhouses had widened the gap from others with just one move.

Only now did everyone understand.

The peerless powerhouses ranked in the top five of the Celestial Being List had reached a different realm, incomparable by multiple levels.

The brilliant sun descended from the sky, carrying vast pressure, while the pitch-black Demon Blade ascended against the current, possessing an invincible aura to annihilate everything.

Like oil boiling in a blazing fire.

The void resonated with a sizzling sound that made one's scalp tingle, the sun attempting to devour the Demon Blade while the Demon Blade sought to destroy the sun, both sword intent and blade intent contained within. Any slight leak of such energy would be enough to leave Sunset Sword Sect in ruins.

But strangely, the two forces only dissolved each other, without any extra waves spilling out.

A moment later.

Both the sun and the Demon Blade dissipated, with innumerable winds passing through, leaving everyone in shock. This was the first individual to evenly match the Blade Demon, causing great cheer within the members of Sunset Sword Sect, further deepening their reverence for their Ancestor.
