Chapter 21: Chapter 16.2: The Sword of Learning and Cosmic Firework
The Sword of Learning and Cosmic Firework
{Azure realm , Holy Land of Taichi}
"When my master created the supernatural power Ten Thousand Returns to Origin, she used a nine-planet system as the test piece to test the power of the sword. As the saying goes, nine is the limit, twelve is perfect. So I will use this twelve-planet system to make it perfect."
With a voice that resounded through the dark sky, Arun locked his gaze on the distant star system, consisting of twelve colossal planets, each one dwarfing the azure planet in size. With unwavering determination, he focused his mind, and as his hand began to glow with an intense radiance, the Eternal Sword materialized in his grasp. The hilt of the sword, adorned with intricate runes, felt alive under the wielder's grip. Its blade, seemingly forged from the purest essence of wisdom, shimmered with a celestial light, embodying the profound essence of eternal learning.
This was no ordinary weapon; the sword was the manifestation of Arun's knowledge and mastery of the sword. It had formed using his newly created Eternal Learning Sword Intent, a culmination of all the sword techniques and insights he had gathered on his journey. The sword radiated a supreme grade of sword intent, containing the distilled essence of Arun's accumulated wisdom. As the sword formed, the blade echoed with the lessons of countless duels and meditations, making it a living testament to the boundless pursuit of mastery and growth.
Arun raised it high, his eyes never leaving his target. With a powerful slash, he unleashed the sword toward the heavens. A beam of sword intent, brilliant and pure, shot forth from the blade, piercing through the sky like a comet. The thunderclouds, which had been gathering ominously for the second tribulation, were cleaved in twain by the sheer force of the sword intent. In that fleeting moment, the boundary of the world was rent asunder, revealing the breathtaking expanse of the eternal starry sky beyond.
The onlookers below were struck with awe and disbelief. The sword intent, radiating with the brilliance of the sun, dispelled the fear and darkness that had been cast over their hearts by the oppressive heavenly dao. The light of the Eternal Sword filled them with hope and courage, erasing the shadows of doubt.
Arun's sword intent continued its relentless journey toward the starry sky, traversing millions of miles in an instant, then one light year, ten light years, and beyond. Its luminous trail was a testament to the wisdom and accumulation of sword knowledge that Arun had acquired through his relentless pursuit of mastery. Far off, even at such unimaginable distances, the radiant beam of the Eternal Learning Sword could be seen, a symbol of boundless growth and potential.
As the sword beam finally reached its target—the twelve-planet system—it sliced through the planets effortlessly, like a hot knife through butter. The planets, massive and imposing, were reduced to fragments by the unstoppable force of the sword intent.
"Swish, swish, swish," the sound of the planets being cleaved echoed through the cosmos. The sword intent, having completed its mission, lingered in the starry sky for a moment, a glowing beacon of Arun's indomitable spirit and unyielding quest for knowledge.
At this moment, not only the Azure Realm but also nearby small worlds were shocked by this spectacular scene. In the eyes of many high-level cultivators, with a rumbling sound, people saw the planetary system, no less than a middle-thousand world, was cleanly cut into two parts. They could see the magma and core of the planets, split into halves. The sword alarmed many small worlds nearby.
"According to my village tradition, when there is a special and happy occasion, people celebrate by burning firecrackers. Since there were no firecrackers in my hands, I, as a saint, used the stars in the sky as crackers and my sword intent as fire, filling the sky with cosmic fireworks to celebrate my promotion to Emperor of the Gods!"
With Arun's words, the Eternal Sword's glow turned into billions of small golden swords, colliding with the nearby stars and planets.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With the collision of swords and stars, billions of explosions occurred in the starry sky. From a distance of a thousand light years, where Arun stood in the Azure Realm, it looked like billions of stars bursting like firecrackers, illuminating the darkness in the sky.
People in the Azure Realm, especially in the Eastern Domain, were filled with ecstasy at this moment. Just a moment ago, they were suppressed by the heavenly dao and feared they might die in the aftermath. But now, this firework display dissipated the remaining fear in their hearts, ultimately making them happy. Children were the most excited, clapping and dancing. Many women felt romantic, while many couples joined hands with their partners, feeling the moment of new life.
Every sword collided with a planetary core, creating brilliant explosions. From a distance, it looked like golden lights and blasts illuminating the night sky. One explosion, two explosions, three explosions, hundreds of thousands of explosions. At that time, the entire middle-thousand world of the starry sky was filled with fireworks. Children cheered with joy, their faces lit up with excitement. Couples walked together under the dazzling display, feeling the romance in the air.
In the Holy Land of Taichi, Su Wan'er looked at the starry sky, filled with fireworks. In the sky, the white-clothed young man, Arun, looked at the starry sky with a smile on his face. Unlike before, when he appeared as a divine and aloof figure, he now looked like a carefree young man, full of vitality and wonder. His presence was incredibly handsome, capturing the attention of everyone below. Even Su Wan'er's double soul was entranced. She felt her heart race, a mix of admiration and intrigue filling her eyes as she watched the celestial display.
At this moment, in the eyes of the female disciples, the night sky was ablaze with dazzling fireworks, colors painting the heavens in a spectacular display. Arun lingered effortlessly in the air, his serene expression reflecting the joy of his masterpiece. His presence was captivating, a perfect blend of celestial grace and youthful exuberance. Girls watching from below were spellbound by his appearance, their eyes wide with admiration and cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Ha, I have to say, Master Saint Child is really so handsome," one girl murmured, her eyes sparkling with adoration.
"Yes, one moment he looks like a god, otherworldly and divine, like an immortal who has never seen the fireworks of mortals," another agreed, her breath caught in awe.
"But then the next second, he looks like a carefree teenager, full of vitality and wonder," a third added, her voice tinged with admiration.
"Yes, one second he is apart from the world," someone echoed, "while the next, he merges seamlessly into it," she whispered, captivated by his dual nature.
"Is this what they mean by 'handsome enough to outshine the sun, moon, and stars in the world'? The young man handsome as jade, unparalleled in the world," an elder sister nodded in agreement, her gaze fixed on Arun's radiant figure.
Su Wan'er and even the master in Zhou Tian's ring were stunned for a moment, while Gu Xiren also immersed in the fireworks and the image of Arun.
