Four World-Ending level Sword Techniques! That was one more than the Sword Child’s three World-Ending level Sword Techniques.

The Sword Child snorted coldly, "Aren't you afraid of getting your tongue twisted from talking too big?" The Sword Child certainly had reason to say that. World-Ending level Sword Techniques were not cheap cabbages. As the Child of Sword Destiny, he had only obtained three World-Ending level Sword Techniques through sheer coincidence, and acquiring each one had been difficult. He truly didn't believe Lu Yuan could possess four such techniques. If that were true, wouldn't Lu Yuan's destiny surpass his own? Yet, this was impossible, for he was one of the Seven Sons of Destiny, inherently blessed with immense fortune and opportunity, while Lu Yuan was not.

Therefore, the Sword Child dismissed Lu Yuan’s claim as utter nonsense!

And the Sword Child, accustomed to dominance, immediately launched an attack, still employing the Wutian Sword Style.

The Second Stance of the Wutian Sword Style: Star Sea of the Sword! The sea of stars was vast and endless, and this move traversed it with a single sword. This technique was exquisitely beautiful beyond compare.

The Third Stance of the Wutian Sword Style: Sword Arrogance Over Stars! With a single sword in hand, one defied the myriad stars.

The Fourth Stance of the Wutian Sword Style: Ten Thousand Swords in Shared Sorrow! This unleashed a tempest of countless sword qi in an instant!

The Fifth Stance of the Wutian Sword Style: Only I Am Heaven! Heaven is me; I am Heaven!

This was the Sword Child’s Wutian Sword Style. Truly worthy of being called a World-Ending technique. Every stance possessed unimaginable grandeur and terrifying destructive power. As these moves were unleashed, none of the surrounding Supreme Elders dared to claim they could withstand such fearsome swordsmanship.

Moreover, the Sword Child's repertoire was not limited to this.

The Wutian Sword Style was merely one of his World-Ending techniques.

The Sword Child possessed two more World-Ending level Sword Techniques.

The Sword Child’s second World-Ending Sword Technique also bore an incredibly formidable name: Seven Reversals Cold Heavenly Tribulation!

The First Stance of the Seven Reversals Cold Heavenly Tribulation: Heaven and Earth Robbery! It was as if heaven and earth moved in concert, causing hundreds of stars to perish. In truth, this was only a fraction of the Seven Reversals Cold Heavenly Tribulation's full potential, as the Sword Child could not manifest its complete might. If he could, destroying hundreds of stars would be a triviality. Of course, given Lu Yuan’s current cultivation, he too was incapable of unleashing the complete version of a World-Ending technique.

The Second Stance of the Seven Reversals Cold Heavenly Tribulation: Reversing Heaven and Ego Annihilation. This stance pushed the concept of defying heaven and shaking the earth to its absolute extreme.

However, even more terrifying was the final stance of the Seven Reversals Cold Heavenly Tribulation: Heaven and Man Shared Tribulation. Legend held that when the cosmic era shattered, the power of the Five Decays of Heaven and Man manifested, resulting in the demise of all beings short of the Civilization Realm. This final stance, when executed to its peak, carried a mere trace of that power, making the resulting sword light utterly dreadful.

The Sword Child’s third World-Ending Sword Technique was the Two Extremes Sword Style. This style appeared exceedingly simple at its outset, merely two lines of light at first. But only after the initial strike did one realize its profound horror. In its later stages, the Two Extremes Sword Style was no longer two lines, but rather the manifestation of two worlds splitting apart. This technique was entirely worthy of its World-Ending status; the terrifying dominance projected by each strike made hearts tremble.

World-Ending. Indeed, truly World-Ending.

And Lu Yuan’s counterattack was by no means inferior.

His first set, the Star Sinking World-Ending Sword Technique, was like countless stars descending from the heavens, erupting in mass detonations across the cosmos. This technique wielded immense scale and devastating lethality. The Buddha Sword Cultivator of ages past, ranked first among the swordsmen of the Central Heavenly Dynasty, possessed astonishing strength. His Star Sinking World-Ending Sword Technique was considered one of the most formidable World-Ending styles. Lu Yuan’s current mana was insufficient to unleash its full power, but even this projection was shocking. The final stance, No Stars in the World, pushed the technique to its zenith, as if the ancient, starless era had returned.

The second set, the Big Dipper Ultimate Killing Sword Style, was initially unimpressive, merely depicting the twinkling of the seven stars of the Big Dipper—Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid. Logically, employing the power of seven stars should categorize it as a World-Class technique, not World-Ending. When Lu Yuan first unveiled it, the Sword Child inwardly sneered, thinking Lu Yuan was out of options, attempting to pass off a World-Class style as World-Ending. If so, I shall defeat him.

Just as the Sword Child was brimming with confidence, he realized something was amiss. While the style began with seven stars, once manifested, it seemed to summon a Big Dipper Star Deity—the entity that controlled all the myriad stars and gods in previous eons. This Big Dipper Ultimate Killing Sword Style was created based on this concept, and it was piercingly sharp and terrifying.

The third set, the Upper Killing Sword Style, appeared to be a killing force composed of endless Shangqing Qi. Shangqing Qi was ethereal, one of the pure vapors that ascended at the genesis of the era. This Upper Killing Sword Style accumulated boundless killing intent within this Shangqing Qi. Though the killing aura seemed faint, its destructive power was absolutely no less than the Two Extremes Sword Style.

Wutian Sword Style! Seven Reversals Cold Heavenly Tribulation! Two Extremes Sword Style!

Star Sinking World-Ending Sword Technique! Big Dipper Ultimate Killing Sword Style! Upper Killing Sword Style!

Six World-Ending Sword Techniques clashed violently in the void!

The battle raged, turning day into night. The brilliance and spectacle defied verbal description.

In the long history since the founding of the Sword Gate, had there ever been such a magnificent sword confrontation?

Every strike and every stance intoxicated the surrounding Supreme Elders. Exquisite! Truly exquisite! The might of the World-Ending techniques was clearly beyond the reach of World-Class styles.

Lu Yuan let out a hearty laugh, "Sword Child, have you run out of tricks? I still possess one more World-Ending technique: the Heavenly Sword Ranging Across All!" His Immortal Sword, Yang Wu, pulsed in the air, soaring high above, yet not immediately descending. It hung suspended in the heights, and in that moment, the Sword Child sensed the shift.

This Sword Technique of Lu Yuan seemed to be gathering the momentum of heaven and earth in the void. Once he accumulated the world’s momentum, no one in this realm would match him in swordsmanship.

This was the Heavenly Sword Ranging Across All! Indeed, another World-Ending Sword Technique!

Four World-Ending Sword Techniques!

There were indeed four!

Many had considered Lu Yuan’s earlier claim of possessing four World-Ending techniques to be boastful nonsense, but now they saw it was the absolute truth! Lu Yuan now genuinely held the upper hand. To gain the advantage over the Sword Child, the very Child of Destiny, was unbelievable!

But regardless of disbelief, it was fact.

The Sword Child was unmistakably in a disadvantaged state.

The surrounding Supreme Elders stared blankly. If the Sword Child was at a disadvantage, what lineage or fate governed Lu Yuan?

The Sword Child's handsome face contorted into an indescribable expression. He had never imagined being suppressed by someone of the younger generation, especially another swordsman. By natural right, he should be the strongest in the way of the sword, yet Lu Yuan’s emergence threatened to shatter this certainty. Thus, the Sword Child roared toward the sky, "Lu Yuan, you seek death!"

"Three Extremes Return to One Stance!"

The Three Extremes Return to One Manifestation!

What did this signify? The Sword Child was about to unleash the Three Extremes Return to One Stance! Had he mastered it?

The Three Extremes Return to One Stance was no mere illusion; it was a truly terrifying thing, the highest ultimate skill of the Sword Gate. To cultivate the Three Extremes Return to One Stance, one first had to master the three iron laws: Reincarnation, Time, and Space. Simply mastering these three laws was insufficient; they required integration. The fusion of such laws was something only Celestial Venerables began to study, yet now the Sword Child was forcing the application of the Three Extremes Return to One Stance!

To use even the Three Extremes Return to One Manifestation was too terrifying.

The Immortal Sword, Tai’a, pierced the void. In that instant, it seemed a colossal wheel of reincarnation materialized, and space was completely locked down, rendering movement impossible. Time was virtually brought to a standstill. It was as if they had fallen into a bizarre and terrifying world where the River of Time, the River of Space, and the Wheel of Reincarnation intersected.

It was truly the Sword Gate’s most powerful, most terrifying, and virtually unmastered supreme skill: the Three Extremes Return to One Stance.

The Sword Child indeed lived up to his name, having mastered the Three Extremes Return to One Stance, this unparalleled Sword Gate technique!

This single sword strike seemed to encapsulate the profound mysteries of Space, Time, and Reincarnation.

Everyone nearby was struck dumb with shock. No one had anticipated the Sword Child mastering the Three Extremes Return to One Stance. Normal cultivation of this skill took countless years; some entered seclusion for millennia without success. The Sword Child had spent barely ten years mastering it—an unbelievably short time.

And as this sword struck, integrating the Three Extremes, Lu Yuan’s World-Ending Sword Techniques seemed to lose some of their potency. The Sword Child's final ultimate move was truly terrifying.

Facing the Sword Child's Three Extremes Return to One Stance, Lu Yuan appeared, for the moment, at a disadvantage.

Furthermore, under the pressure of the Three Extremes Return to One Stance, Lu Yuan found escape nearly impossible.

The Sword Child sneered at Lu Yuan, "Lu Yuan, you have failed. You cannot defeat me. Of course, forcing me to reveal my ultimate swordsmanship, the Three Extremes Return to One Stance, is enough for you to be proud. I am the Child of Sword Destiny, unconquerable!"

How terrifying was this Three Extremes Return to One Stance? How could it be resisted?

Lu Yuan realized that pure World-Ending Sword Techniques were insufficient. If his Sword Dao Gourd had refined the Gate of the Sword Dao, he could smash it down, forcing even the Three Extremes Return to One Stance to yield. But alas, the Sword Dao Gourd had not yet formed the Gate of the Sword Dao.

Was there no way?

Lu Yuan looked at the Three Extremes Return to One Stance and discovered that even his Myriad Manifestations Forest-and-Nether Sword Dao was activating in response, attempting to copy the Sword Child’s Three Extremes Return to One Stance.

What! The Three Extremes Return to One Stance could be copied too! Lu Yuan was simultaneously shocked and delighted.
