Chapter 40 The First Coming of the Dao Heart

A burst of starlight exploded!

The light is dazzling!

Even the surrounding air became hot.

One sword has such power!

Is this really just a battle at the early stage of the True Yuan Realm?

In fact, one of the people in the battle has not even reached the True Yuan realm?

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

Even Elder Xu of the Dali Sword Sect stood up from his seat in shock, with a look of horror on his face.

Starlight is extinguished.

The sword energy dissipated.

What everyone didn't expect was that Xiang Chen actually took such a powerful move.

He was holding the Thunder Sword in his hand, kneeling on one knee, his hair was disheveled, and he looked very embarrassed, but there was no doubt that this series of attacks did not knock him down.

"Cough, cough, thank you..."

Xiang Chen coughed twice, slowly raised his head, and looked at Lu Yu with a half-smile.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Thanks?

What's happening here?

Why did you say thank you? Could it be that Xiang Chen was beaten stupid?

"Thank you!"

Xiang Chen stood up and said again.

"Thank you for showing me such a powerful swordsmanship and allowing me to understand the true meaning of power that I have never been able to understand!"

"This time I completely understood it!"

A breeze blew up.

Surrounding him for a long time.

The spiritual energy from the surrounding world rolled in, all rushing towards his body.

"This is……"

"Visual phenomena in heaven and earth! Realm breakthrough!"

"He actually made a breakthrough!"

"The fourth level of True Yuan Realm!"

"This Xiang Chen is really too strong!"

"I didn't expect that Xiang Chen is better after all. Although this Lu Yu is very strong, Xiang Chen is even stronger than him!"

Xiang Chen raised his hand.

Suddenly, a condensed zhenqi barrier formed in front of him.

There was another uproar among the crowd.

"Condensing the True Gang!"

"That's right! In the middle stage of the True Yuan Realm, you can condense the True Gang. The defensive power of the True Gang is extremely abnormal. It's many times stronger than the general release of True Qi!"

"Xiang Chen has really good understanding. He has just broken through to the fourth level of the True Yuan Realm and has mastered the technique of condensing the True Gang."

"This Lu Yu has no chance of winning now, right?"

…

"Do you have any last words?"

Xiang Chen covered his whole body with Zhen Gang barrier and asked majestically.

"Last words?"

Lu Yu looked calm, as if he turned a blind eye to everything that happened to Xiang Chen.

"Do you think that by condensing the true power, you can save your life?"

"I should be the one to ask you this!"

"Do you have any last words?"

Xiang Chen smiled coldly.

"You're not soft-spoken! Even when death is imminent, you still have to speak harshly!"

"Then let me see what means you have that can compete with my true power!"

After saying that, he stabbed out with a sword.

A little starlight burst out.

The brilliance shines brightly.

The surrounding air became hot!

A spark ignites a prairie fire!

Everyone was shocked.

This move is actually exactly the same as the sword technique Lu Yu used before!

It's just that the power Xiang Chen displayed was more powerful and wilder than what Lu Yu had displayed before!

The sharp sword energy seemed to have substance, completely covering Lu Yu's body.

Faced with such a dangerous situation, Lu Yu suddenly closed his eyes.

As his eyes closed, his whole body gave off a completely different feeling.

This feeling is indescribable. It seems that the entire world around him has undergone earth-shaking changes as he closes his eyes, but in fact it seems that nothing has changed.

At this moment, Lu Yu's state of mind became very strange.

No sadness, no joy.

Fearless.

There is no one without me.

Only a heart towards the Tao is eternal!

Such a state of mind was something he had never experienced before.

It was at the moment when he chose to throw away the command flag, give up the martial arts competition, and determined to save Lu Xiaohu that he realized this state of mind.

What is Tao Heart?

The Tao is the Tao, and the heart is the heart.

There are laws, principles, and moral principles in the world, which are intricate and dazzling. There are tens of thousands of them.

Only a pure heart can cross the myriad avenues and make them simple!

To put it in the simplest words, only by maintaining the purity of one's heart can one be able to bear the supreme road.

At this moment, Lu Yu felt his purest heart.

Therefore, the surrounding world changed due to his state of mind.

"Is this...the first coming of the Taoist Heart?"

Elder Xu was shaken all over, and he was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Dao heart is not the same as cultivation strength.

But the Taoist heart determines the upper limit of the cultivation level that can be achieved!

Even though he has reached the realm of returning to the sea, he has only just touched the threshold of Taoist heart.

Unexpectedly, at such a young age and still in the physical realm, Lu Yu had already solidified his heart towards the Tao.

This really made him envious and jealous.

Lu Yu gently raised his hand and held out his sword.

This sword has a clear light and is as powerful as breaking a bamboo.

The sword energy that fills the sky collapses upon contact!

The condensed Zhen Gang will collapse when touched!

The eighth-grade Heavenly Thunder Sword will collapse upon contact!

The eighth-grade Shuiyun Silk Armor also collapses when touched!

All Xiang Chen's offensives and defenses were shattered by this sword.

Everyone was stunned.

what on earth is it?

How did they do this?

They kept rubbing their eyes, not daring to believe that what they saw was real.

In the whole audience, only Elder Xu of the Dali Sword Sect vaguely saw the mystery, but he was still deeply shocked by the power of this sword.

Feihong Sword pointed at Xiang Chen's neck.

Xiang Chen was already unarmed and had no power to parry or fight back.

His face was full of disbelief, and his lips trembled unconsciously.

"Why... why?"

"I clearly... have already comprehended the ultimate mystery of Tianxing Sword Technique..."

"Why... still lost to you?"

"In the end?"

Lu Yu had no expression on his face.

"Don't be so confident. Do you think the Tianxing Sword Technique is so easy to learn? Just because of you, you dare to say that you have comprehended the ultimate mystery?"

"Do you know that the pursuit of power is endless, and there is still a long way to go..."

"But you no longer have the opportunity to go on!"

Xiang Chen's eyes turned cold: "Do you dare to kill me?"

Lu Yu smiled lightly: "Why, are you afraid? It's useless to be afraid. I have already said that there is no regret in life or death!"

Xiang Chen snorted coldly.

Even though he was pointed at by the sword and had no power to fight back, there was a sense of pride in his eyes.

"You should be afraid!"

"Do you know how many people are standing behind me? How serious the consequences will be if you kill me?"

"I have no regrets in life or death, but do you dare to do it?"

As if to confirm his words, someone immediately shouted loudly to stop him.

"Lu Yu, stop! The laws of the four counties of Jiangzuo are strict. How can you abuse private punishment here!"

"If you kill him, the four counties will definitely punish you!"

Guo Sixiang shouted loudly. Although he wanted to see the Xiang family in disgrace, he didn't want to see Xiang Chen die like this.

If Xiang Chen died like this, not only would the Xiang family hate him to death, but the third prince behind the Xiang family would not let it go.

Xiang Lijian also stepped forward, his eyes spitting fire, and he wanted to eat Lu Yu alive.

His threat was simple and rough: "Lu Yu, if you dare to touch Xiang Chen, I will let your entire Lu family pay with your life!"

Lu Yu still looked unmoved.

Seeing this, Xu Du also came out.

After all, Xiang Chen was the third prince's man. Now Baiyunfeng and the third prince have a close cooperation, which involves many interests. He must protect this Xiang Chen.

He has a strong aura, and every step closer brings huge pressure.

"I am Xu Du, the elder of Baiyun Peak of Dali Sword Sect. If you release Master Xiang Chen, my Baiyun Peak will also accept you as a disciple."

"Otherwise, you will be the enemy of my Baiyun Peak."

"You are also a smart person, but don't do the stupid thing of not accepting a toast and drinking a penalty."

His tone was flat, but his words showed a kind of confidence in the power of life and death.

Seeing so many people standing up at once, Xiang Chen couldn't help but feel proud.

"What, do you still dare to kill me?"

Lu Yu laughed.

"Your words are so convincing!"

"It's a pity that you miscalculated one thing. I, Lu Yu, only ask for my heart when I act, regardless of gains and losses!"

"Because, this is my Tao heart!"

After speaking, in full view of the crowd, Lu Yu raised his sword and fell.

Xiang Chen's head fell to the ground, and his body was separated from his head.
