Chapter 891 Domination of the Sword
How could the Tiandao Sect and Emperor Pan allow the Sword-Devouring Ancestor to reach the same peak with them?
In their eyes, this Sword Devouring Ancestor was nothing more than a demon that had transformed into a rat spirit. He was not worthy of being on the stage at all and had an extremely low background. If it weren't for his incredible ability to devour the natural talents of sword cultivators, he would not have caught their attention at all.

The Sword-Devouring Ancestor was so shrewd that he naturally saw the disdain in the eyes of Tiandao Sect and Emperor Pan. He hated the disdainful looks of others the most in his life, and for this reason, he had committed countless killings.

When the two of them looked at him in such a way, the expression of the Sword-Devouring Ancestor became extremely cold, which made people horrified.

"Hehehehe...!" The Sword-Devouring Ancestor laughed harshly and grabbed with one hand. The sword shadow that was like a pillar in the sky turned into the sword spirit of the Immortal Emperor again and was held in his hand. At the same time, his other hand did not stop at all, constantly casting out runes and seals, regulating the vast ocean of luck below, and condensing the holy pool of luck of the sect without a trace of disorder.

hum!
The Immortal Emperor pointed his sword spirit, and terrifying sword intent burst out, like an ocean, like an abyss, as if a huge world of swordsmanship had descended, overwhelming all living beings.

Zhang Qian's pupils shrank. Only then did he realize that after more than half a year, the Sword-Devouring Ancestor's swordsmanship had made terrifying progress. And it was not just an ordinary breakthrough. Before, the Sword-Devouring Ancestor's swordsmanship was at the level of breaking all magic with one sword. The sword energy alone was enough to break all kinds of magical powers of the Tiandao Sect. At this moment, the Sword-Devouring Ancestor's swordsmanship had made a considerable breakthrough on the basis of breaking all magic with one sword.

Zhang Qian knew from the sword tradition of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian that there is another realm above breaking all laws with one sword, which is called "establishing the Dao with one sword"!
This realm of swordsmanship is more incredible than breaking all laws with one sword. The realm of breaking all laws with one sword is still within the scope of swordsmanship. It is the ultimate of swordsmanship. When the art reaches its end, that is the Tao!
To establish the Dao with one sword is to enter the realm of the Great Dao, which is mysterious and infinite.

Kendo practice, condensing sword energy, turning sword energy into rainbow, differentiating sword rainbow, sword energy thunder sound, refining sword into thread, condensing sword light, condensing sword into light, these are all within the scope of swordsmanship, including the later one sword creating the world and one sword breaking all laws, which are also the realm of transition from swordsmanship to kendo.

One sword creates the world and one sword breaks all laws seem to be the true embodiment of the way of the sword, but in fact they are still not. Only after truly transcending the realm of one sword breaking all laws and entering the realm of one sword establishing the way, can one reach the true realm of the way of the sword and completely enter the door of the way of the sword.

And this is just the beginning of the sword-dao journey. Zhang Qian knows from the inheritance of the Four Swords of Zhu Xian that there are many more mysterious sword-dao realms behind the one sword that can be achieved.

Through the sword intent of the Sword-Devouring Ancestor, Zhang Qian could tell that after half a year, the old demon's swordsmanship had broken through to the Half-Step One Sword realm, which was countless times more terrifying than before.

If before the Sword-Devouring Ancestor had to rely on the endless evil energy gushing out of the Great Xia Li Ding and the power of the Immortal Emperor's sword spirit to contend with the Tiandao Sect, now the Sword-Devouring Ancestor can have such power with just a casual sword energy.

Zhang Qian's heart sank. In fact, there were traces of the terrifying sword energy that the Sword-Eating Ancestor stabbed out with evil spirit. As long as he was prepared in advance, he could still avoid it. That kind of sword technique also required the Sword-Eating Ancestor some time to prepare before he could use it.

But now the Sword-Devouring Ancestor is different after his breakthrough. With his current terrifying realm of half a step to the Dao with a sword, a casual sword energy from him is comparable to the previous sword energy.

Zhang Qian was not the only one who sensed the difference in the overwhelming sword intent; Tiandao Sect and Pan Huangdi Zun also noticed it.

Tian Dao Zong, who had fought with the Sword Devouring Ancestor before, had an extremely ugly expression on his face. He thought to himself, "Half a year has passed since we last met, and this demon's swordsmanship has actually grown to this point. Doesn't this mean that even if I reveal my Nine Apertures Creation Embryo trump card, I still won't be able to compete with it!"

Thinking of this, the Tiandao Sect felt unwilling and their killing intent towards the Sword-Devouring Ancestor became more urgent.

"This demon must die. His swordsmanship has improved so much in just half a year. If he were to sneak attack the Heavenly Sword Sect and devour the talents of all the sword cultivators in the sect, what would his swordsmanship be like? Who would be his opponent at that time?"

The more he thought about it, the uglier Tian Dao Zong's face became. He secretly glanced at Emperor Pan and found that this avatar, who was originally his clone, was looking at him as if he had telepathy. When their eyes met, they understood each other's thoughts.

"kill!"

Suddenly, Tiandao Zong shouted, holding the Nine-Aperture Creation Embryo in his palm, stepped into the void, and shook off the sword intent of the Sword-Devouring Ancestor that filled the heaven and earth. Half a human body suddenly emerged from the Nine-Aperture Creation Embryo, and the figure with a blurred face swung his arms, stirring up the void, and the vast power surged towards the Sword-Devouring Ancestor.

Emperor Pan was not slow either and attacked at the same time. This emperor was ruthless and went all out. The boundless starry sky behind him shrank and turned into a square chessboard with hundreds of millions of black and white chess pieces lined up on it. The terrifying thing is that if you look closely, these chess pieces are clearly stars, moving between the longitude and latitude of the chessboard, making a rumbling sound and making time and space vibrate!

Click!
The next moment, Emperor Pan pushed the chessboard and crashed into the Sword-Devouring Ancestor. Time and space were shattered under the power of this imperial weapon - the Star World Chessboard, creating a continuous lawless land!

"You've come at the right time. Today, I will let everyone know who is the true supreme master in this world!"

The Sword-Devouring Ancestor wielded the Immortal Emperor's sword spirit and waved his hand lightly. Suddenly, an illusory roulette wheel appeared behind him. The roulette wheel was spinning slowly. In the roulette wheel, one could faintly see the figures of endless sword cultivators practicing the way of the sword. There were trillions of these figures, too numerous to count. That was not all. The aura emanating from this illusory roulette wheel was like the master and origin of the way of the sword. It was the existence that controlled the way of the sword throughout the ages!

"Dominate the sword!"

Zhang Qian's heart was filled with awe. The moment the roulette wheel appeared, his Four Swords of Zhu Xian suddenly vibrated spontaneously, competing with the strange force that descended from the sky and wanted to control all sword techniques.

As they were competing against each other, Zhang Qian also understood what the Sword-Devouring Ancestor's sword art was at this moment. His sword art was nothing else but the word "dominate".

Half a step to the realm of the sword, the Sword-Devouring Ancestor created his own supreme sword path in an instant - the Dominating Sword Path!
The realm of establishing the Dao with one sword is the beginning of a sword cultivator's true entry into the Dao of the Sword. It is also the beginning of a sword cultivator's qualification to use the Dao of the Sword to reach the other side of cultivation and reach the pinnacle.

At this level, sword cultivators can develop their own unique sword path. The word "unique" is extremely important, meaning that after you develop a sword path, later sword cultivators will no longer have the opportunity to reach the top with your sword path.

Just like the Sword-Devouring Ancestor, this old demon has now initially opened up the Dao of Dominating the Sword. So he is the controller of the Dao of Dominating the Sword. Later sword practitioners will never have the opportunity to achieve enlightenment by Dominating the Sword and can only choose other sword paths.

Of course, later sword practitioners could also embark on the path of dominating the sword, but they could only follow behind the Sword-Devouring Ancestor forever and could never surpass him.

Unless the Sword-Devouring Ancestor dies an untimely death one day and gives up his position as the master of swordsmanship, the later ones will have the opportunity to take his place.

From the stage of establishing the Dao with One Sword, the path of sword cultivation will become extremely cruel. Unless one is extremely lucky enough to comprehend an unexpected sword art and make it his own, sooner or later one will have to face the battle for control of the sword art.
