Chapter 716: Harmonious Swords

A multitude of colors, a dazzling rainbow that connected the heavens to the earth .

Where it met the clouds they parted . Where it encountered rain the droplets broke – a stairway to heaven built on a shimmering rainbow lane .

The darkness was destroyed as the primordial essence borne by the swords swept through . The rainbow aurora hung in the air for what felt like a long time before finally dissipating .

Lan Qing had awoken from his meditations long before and gaped at the scene with unabashed surprise . Almost incapable of believing what he saw, he watched as the boundless destruction of the Terminator’’ Domain fractured into dust . The ultimate convert employed nearly all of his power to keep himself from being swallowed up by the prismatic aurora, and that was when it curved up – piercing the comet-casted ceiling and into the sky .

The Terminator kneeled on the ground, covered in a hundred tiny wounds . Droplets of blood coated him like a sheen of sweat . His wide eyes stared in disbelief at the two figures appearing in the distance .

He hadn’t used his full strength, and in fact the Terminator had held back . But he could feel it clearly, even the totality of his abilities wouldn’t have been capable of saving him from that power .

Harrowing… the memory of that power was seared into his mind . The sense of uncaring finality he’d felt lingered in his heart . What in the world was that sword technique that resulted in such staggering power? How could two Adepts produce an attack like that?

Qianlin’s sword had vanished . She leaned into Lan Jue’s protective embrace . Lan Jue’s face was pale as he fell to his knees, still managing to support his beloved . Both were soaked with sweat .

The Terminator had questions, but Lan Jue didn’t have answers . He didn’t know such awesome intensity could be summoned from their efforts . All he knew was that in that moment, it felt as though he and Qianlin were one inexorably tied entity .

It went beyond the body . The connection through blood and the Arrow of Compassion fused their very souls . Sharing every bit of each other also caused their swords to combine, and in their fusion the marvelous supernova had been produced . To Lan Jue it felt like a dam had burst, a great door had opened somewhere inside Captus . Although it had closed once the strike was delivered he could feel that it had fundamentally changed the godblade .

Was that… the Harmonious Swords technique?

He recalled the tales of Jun Yongye, telling him of the ancient days when the Harmonious Swords were an invincible reality . Through his and Qianlin’s efforts it was a reality once again . Jun Yongye had called it the strongest force besides the Banishing Strategy .

At the time Lan Jue thought the sword-spirit was exaggerating . But just then, that wild animus channeled all of their energy, even their psyche into the strike . Like the Terminator, that sensation had left a profound impression .

At last they’d succeeded . At last they had achieved the Harmonious Swords . It had just been a moment, but a truly marvelous moment . If he had not used all his strength to divert the flow at the last minute Lan Jue feared it would have swallowed the Terminator . The only thing Lan Jue could compare it to was the attack Jue Di delivered to the aliens out in the Starfields, Upender . That was the only other attack he’d seen that could overturn reality, blot out the sun and moon .

But could Lan Jue really use such a potent ability already?

In that moment his comprehension of protogenia had also changed . This would have a significant impact on his future breakthrough . More and more he sensed the time approaching . More and more he found it hard to hold the power back . He prevailed only through the blood-connection with Qianlin and the Arrow of Compassion .



When the two of them joined he could also sense Qianlin’s spirit . Her soul pulsed with intensity, and in that brief moment of total fusion he felt his own power pull Qianlin along . Like he had dragged her Discipline to a higher level .

He needed to experience it again to learn more, but Lan Jue already knew that this enigmatic power would play an important role in the growth of their Disciplines .

Lan Jue hadn’t anticipated something like this would happen . Lan Jue’s focused flow and Qianlin’s ten thousand swords as one were techniques they’d employed for a while already . Through the help of their respective sword-spirits they had grown well versed in the styles .


The strength of their cultivation, their understanding of the Banishing Blades, deeper protogenic comprehension, and the flood of immortal qi between them all coalesced to their benefit . Jun Yongye had told them it was time to attempt the Harmonious Swords technique, and he’d been right .

Although technically not a Paragon, the immortal qi and All-Heaven lightning empowered Lan Jue’s attacks . He fought with no less force than a first-degree Paragon, maybe stronger . Qianlin was not quite as strong, but also benefited greatly from the immortal qi they shared . That is what allowed them to attempt this legendary sword technique .

Lan Jue’s interest in this fight had been to give the style a try . The foundation of the Harmonious Swords was the binding of a man and woman soul to soul, shared devotion and unequivocal love . Beyond that they needed a deep familiarity with their respective styles . Both prerequisites they’d met .

Still, it shocked Lan Jue how smoothly it’d happened . More shocking was just how indomitable the attack had been .

Only once he’d used it himself did he understand the power of the Harmonious Swords . Everything within him had focused to a single burning thought . His love for Qianlin .

Through that love their souls combined, closer than ever before . Captus and Demortus follows suit, being as much a part of them as their spirits were . Together they rose to a sublime place of perfect union .



In that union Captus and Demortus had awakened . He remembered a similar feeling from Occisus when the Pharmacist had ascended to Paragon . He and Qianlin’s swords pulsed with it as they joined, it the source of their staggering power .

Lan Jue’s uncertainty lay in whether he could call upon that state again . He felt so weak that even moving his fingers was a herculean task . It felt like the sword had drained him to his core .

The Terminator’s muscles chest heaved . The shock in his eyes refused to abate .

“What… what the hell was that?” He could help but ask .

Lan Qing had come to Lan Jue’s side . Although he didn’t expect the Terminator to take advantage of their weakness he nonetheless was there to protect them . However, the look in his eyes was no less dumbfounded than the Terminator’s . The only thing he could deduce from what he’d witnessed was it was not something taught by their father . Jue Di hadn’t taught his younger brother whatever that had been .

Lan Jue fought to steady his breathing and racing heart . He dropped his head and placed a tender kiss on Qianlin’s lips . She vanished .

He felt strange, for it was the first time they’d joined and he felt no increase in Discipline . It wasn’t a blockage, rather there was no higher place for them to reach .

Lan Jue coughed weakly . “Your Majesty, do you happen… . To have something here to eat? I think… I need sustenance . Something to give me strength . ” He struggled mightily to get to his feet . He could only manage by leaning heavily on his brother .



The Terminator’s face twitched . “Yes, wait a moment . ” The host of cuts along his body had, over time, healed and left no trace . Harming a Paragon was no easy feat, and through his constant upgrades the man had tougher skin than a Bastion ship .

The Terminator left with long strides . Once he was gone Lan Qing helped his brother back to the ground . He looked at him with a curious expression .

“That technique…”

Lan Jue responded with a wry smirk . “I couldn’t tell you . It’s something we were taught from Demortus and Captus . Jun Yongye and Xuanyuan Shishi told us this was an elite style handed down from ancient times . Weaker than your Prajna style and my Taiji, but joined together it creates an incredible force . What you witnessed was called the Harmonious Swords technique . ”

“But at our level of cultivation, calling on the technique was only just manageable . The swords we use are too potent . We’ll only be able to command the full breadth of the swords’ abilities when we break through to Paragon . Although, if this accident revealed anything it’s that we may not be able to command it even when that happens . It’s strong, but incredibly draining . ”

He calmly described what had happened, but he did not let the potency get to his head . There was always a great cost for the use of great power . Without a doubt, however, the Harmonious Swords would make a wonderful ace in the hole .

A flood of energy flowed from his chest to enervate the rest of his body . It supplemented what he lost and made him stronger . The immortal qi that filled him, that made his Discipline more than a common power, pulled him from the cusp of collapse . Its subtle influence strengthened him, transforming him into something greater .

By the time the Terminator returned with some food, Lan Jue was back to normal . At least, he looked completely recovered .
