Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 916 - 919 Innate
"Using strength to bully the weak? Hardly. Show me your full power, or your reputation will be tarnished!"
Xia Liu’s confidence was unshakable.
If his assessment was correct, Guo De had already surpassed the Path-Entering stage.
His body was filled with Inner Origin.
As for the name of this realm, Xia Liu was uncertain, but it was definitely beyond the Peak of Martial Dao.
A Path-Entering Martial Artist generates a certain level of Inner Origin within their body.
The power held by Inner Origin was still inferior to Spiritual Energy.
Guo De’s body had completely rid itself of Inner Strength, transforming all of it into Inner Origin—this was a realm beyond Path-Entering.
Faced with such a realm, Xia Liu remained confident in defeating him.
Guo De had been in this realm for only a short while, and the Primordial Force within his body had yet to reach a state of fluid mastery.
Size—Xia Liu was undoubtedly bigger.
If the seal were fully released, a mere martial artist surpassing Path-Entering would be no more than a trivial opponent, easily crushed by Xia Liu.
"Hahaha! What an amusing young man! If you were a guest of the Guo Family, I’d find that rather delightful—what a pity..."
Guo Po laughed heartily. He had been secluded for too long.
The Warrior Realm had birthed such a talent—truly a decline of this caliber.
"Elder Brother is joking, right? All I see in him is arrogance, conceit, and a domineering air. Where’s the intrigue in that?"
Guo Shi was somewhat perplexed. Had he been younger by a few decades, he might have struck Xia Liu down the moment he dared utter such bold words.
"Tsk, tsk! And precisely because of that, it’s intriguing. Let Brother Guo De show him what true power is—and let the clan witness firsthand the might of Innate Force!"
"Innate Force?"
"I’ve heard of this—beyond Path-Entering cultivation lies the Innate Realm!"
"Innate Warrior? Does such a being truly exist in this world?"
"Innate Warrior!"
"Innate Warrior!"
...
Many people were hearing of this realm for the first time.
But martial artists such as Duan Tiandao and Guo Gang had some knowledge of it, though they had never seen it firsthand.
Now, perhaps they would.
The Guo Family’s ancestors—they were all in the Innate Realm!
Low-Rank Warriors were long shocked into speechless awe.
The Innate Realm—it was undoubtedly the Peak of Martial Dao!
"So this realm is called the Innate Realm—surpassing Path-Entering, ascending to Innate, and transcending the Peak of Martial Dao!"
Xia Liu finally witnessed it: Innate Warriors were indeed the pinnacle of mortal existence.
Beyond the Innate level, one would have to break through their limits and become a cultivator; otherwise, their life would stagnate at this level forever.
Primordial Force represented the apex of martial practice. Innate Warriors were the strongest beneath cultivators.
"Young one, you should feel privileged to meet your death at the hands of an Innate Warrior. The Warrior Realm has not seen an Innate Warrior for a thousand years—this realm has all but faded from memory."
Guo Po smiled faintly. Xia Liu’s death was inevitable today.
"The Innate Realm is at best a small divinity within the mortal world. The path of Martial Dao stretches far beyond this. Today, I’ll show you what true strength is!"
Xia Liu spoke no further. His sword finger tightened, and Qi Force shattered the clouds above. In an instant, an unparalleled Sword Intent swept across the surrounding ocean.
"Such formidable Sword Intent!"
"Is he a Sword Cultivator?"
"Brother Guo De truly has good fortune—what an outstanding young opponent he has found!"
"A Sword Cultivator versus a Sword Cultivator? Let’s see whose blade is sharper!"
Guo Po ended the shock and wonder. Though also a Sword Cultivator, the power concealed within their techniques was not something outsiders could perceive.
"Hahaha! Quite the fortuitous encounter! I didn’t expect you to be a Sword Cultivator as well. No wonder your aura seems ordinary yet delivers powerful Sword Imprints. Let’s make this interesting—there are several Divine Blades in the Guo Family, you may choose one."
Guo De was genuinely pleased. After a hundred years, encountering such a powerful Sword Cultivator was a rare blessing. Naturally, he wouldn’t allow Xia Liu to die too swiftly.
"Treasure your White Jade Sword while you still can, for soon, it shall shatter."
Xia Liu bitterly smiled and shook his head. No matter the rank of any Magic Artifact, it could never compare to a Spiritual Artifact.
"Since you’re confident, there’s no need for more words—let’s fight!"
Guo De’s blood boiled completely.
A once-in-a-century opponent; the White Jade Sword dormant for a hundred years; thirsting for blood—thirsting for Blood Drink!
Today, two Sword Cultivators would remain—only one!
"White Jade Slash!"
With a resounding roar, Guo De’s White Jade Sword swept across the air. In an instant, razor-sharp invisible essence shredded the void, mercilessly cutting through the atmosphere.
"The opening legendary move of the White Jade Sword Saint—White Jade Slash! The enemy’s fate is sealed!"
Guo Gang was overwhelmed with excitement. Finally, he had witnessed this famed White Jade Slash in his lifetime—what a blessing from the ancestors!
"Xia Liu..."
Guo Man clenched her fists tightly, her expression unpredictable, lost in thought.
"Golden Spirit Sword!"
Facing the assaulting Sword Qi, Xia Liu raised his hand, summoning a dazzling golden brilliance.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
At the clash’s peak, the skies dimmed and the earth trembled. The overwhelming Sword Qi dissipated feebly before the Phantom Giant Sword.
Yet Guo De’s profound cultivation ensured that his Sword Qi remained equally terrifying. Though White Jade Slash was shattered, the Golden Spirit Sword gradually dimmed as well.
"Condensing Energy into a Sword—your Sword Cultivation is barely passable."
Guo De looked at Xia Liu with some smugness. With just a casual sweep of his White Jade Sword Qi, Xia Liu struggled so desperately—truly amusing.
"It’s bad manners not to return the favor. Now take one of my moves."
Xia Liu’s lips curved into a faint smile. In the next moment, his sword finger tightened again, and with a rising gesture, a blazing crimson Divine Blade materialized in his grasp.
At once, a strange and overwhelming pulse swept through the crowd.
It gave everyone an illusion—as though their very souls were being scorched by this aura.
"What is that?!"
Seeing the fiery longsword appear in Xia Liu’s hand, countless people gasped in shock.
Unable to comprehend how the sword had materialized.
If it had been condensed through personal Vigor, it would undoubtedly lack such authenticity.
The aura emanating from the blade caused deep-seated fear among many.
"A single-edged blade? Is that a Single-Edge Sword?"
As a Sword Cultivator, Guo De no longer focused on the sword’s reality but its form. It turned out Xia Liu was a rare Single-Edge Sword practitioner!
"Prepare yourself—Flowing Fire Transformation!"
Without any response, Xia Liu danced his blade through the air. His figure gradually ascended, floating backward until he hovered over the sea, five meters above.
With the Flowing Fire Sword sweeping outward, the waters below erupted into raging flames. The violent blaze surged toward Guo De at a terrifying pace.
Within the inferno was the purest, most unrelenting and razor-sharp Sword Intent!
Guo De’s pupils narrowed imperceptibly. This suffocating heat relentlessly pressed closer, forcing him to regard the youth before him with gravity.
White Jade Sword raised defensively across his chest. In the blink of an eye, the raging fire surged forward!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Above the sea, only the sound of flames roaring remained.
Countless onlookers shuddered in fear. A sword technique of this magnitude had reached an unimaginable level.
At least, no one had ever witnessed such an awe-inspiring attack before.
The ocean flames raged on for about thirty seconds before mist began to rise into the sky.
When the view finally cleared, many saw that pale figure standing unwavering, maintaining its original posture.
Just as the Guo Family members were about to cheer, a crisp sound suddenly spread throughout the area.
"Crack..."
