Divine Skills are the "Dao" evolved from the True Intent of Skill, just like the fusion of his fist intent and True Yuan, which evolved into the "Heaven-Rending Dao".
All laws are interconnected.
The same principle applies to the Sword Dao Divine Power.
In his eyes, Chen Yi's divine skills haven't merged as one.
The sword remains a sword, divine power is still divine power.
Thinking of this, a hint of a smile flashed in Daoist Gushan's eyes.
"Since Little Sword Immortal friend is so humble, let this poor Daoist offend you then."
As he spoke, he waved the horsetail whisk, and with his other hand, pinched out the "Qian" seal, placing his index finger over his middle finger.
An imposing aura surged from him, landing on the lush mountain behind him.
The towering mountain shook thunderously, swaying several times as if in an earthquake.
Numerous small hills, each over a hundred feet high, emerged one by one on either side, surrounding the two.
Without hesitation, Daoist Gushan turned his wrist, pointed a finger at Chen Yi, and chanted:
"Heaven-Rending Boundless!"
Suddenly, the small hills leapt up in succession, hurtling toward Chen Yi.
Can the divine intent evolved from divine skills be used this way?
Chen Yi's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of enlightenment flashed in his heart, but he didn't ponder deeply, instead, he took a step forward.
He appeared in front of Gushan Taoist, completely ignoring the hills crashing toward him.
With a thrust of his sword.
"Catch the leader first?"
The method of using divine intent in divine skills is insufficient, but his experience in slaughter is extremely high.
Strange, strange, strange!
Despite the odd thoughts in Gushan Taoist's heart, his movements were not slow.
He slid sideways, the horsetail whisk in his hand twitched twice, and its bristles swirled and elongated, attempting to entangle the Spring Rain Sword.
Chen Yi's eyes fixated on Daoist Gushan, his wrist moved slightly, causing the Spring Rain Sword to shake out hundreds of sword shadows.
Each sword shadow fused with the Slaughter Sword Intent, instantly solidifying into numerous silver white longswords.
These silver white longswords circled around once, then shot toward the hills crashing down.
The horsetail whisk bristles coming to entangle were also sliced apart by the longswords formed from the sword intent.
Afterward, the mountain tops were sliced through by the silver white sword intent, each one split in two consecutively.
"Astonishing swordsmanship!"
Daoist Gushan gained clarity in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged, his side concealing hands continuously changed seal techniques.
"Qian, Kun, Kun, Gen..."
Chen Yi was about to pursue, his sword intent sensing something amiss, causing him to pause and abruptly retreat three yards.
The next moment, four sharp, cone-shaped mountains drilled out from the spot where he had just stood.
Chen Yi furrowed his brow, gazing at Daoist Gushan with a smiling face, feeling somewhat displeased.
If he had pursued just then, he might have ended up in a humiliating state due to the four mountains rising from below.
Yet displeasure aside, after the previous clash between sword intent and mountain body, he realized his sword intent could not overwhelm Gushan Taoist.
In fact, it's already remarkable for him to not be at a disadvantage in the collision of True Intent of Skill.
"Let's continue, Little Sword Immortal friend!"
With a smile on his face, Daoist Gushan beckoned while controlling the spinning cone-shaped mountain with a wave of the horsetail whisk, its sharp point aimed straight at Chen Yi.
Chen Yi's lips tightened; no longer probing, he unleashed his Slaughter Sword Intent entirely, forming a towering silver white sword blade.
At the same time, the White Tiger Divine Intent let out a thunderous tiger roar.
Its four tiger claws stepped forward, taking three consecutive steps as three huge stars below shifted positions one by one.
Silver white, dark, ghostly blue, and crimson rays of light brightened abruptly, intertwining and fusing to form a bridge connected to Chen Yi's body.
Indeed, it was an arched bridge, its body entirely silver white, the bridge hole black, bridge pillars interspersed with red and blue.
"Bridge of divine intent?"
Daoist Gushan's face froze, not expecting Chen Yi to surprise him once again.
It's known that forging techniques to the Divine Power Realm is just the first step, followed by several realms.
The first: Manifestation—the manifestation of divine skills.
The second: True Spirit—divine power manifestation, true spirit arising, like the mountain behind him and Chen Yi's White Tiger Divine Intent at his feet.
The third is—the Bridge of Divine Intent, a testament to the fusion beginning between oneself and divine skills.
There are further realms beyond, yet even Daoist Gushan hasn't witnessed them, unexpectedly...
Earlier, he thought Chen Yi's Sword Dao had just entered divine power, still utilizing swordsmanship and sword intent for slaughter.
Now, upon seeing this "Bridge of Divine Intent", he couldn't help but marvel in his heart.
"Little Sword Immortal friend, at such a young age, not only reached Divine Power Realm with skill intent, but also advanced three steps... truly frightening!"
Thoughts aside, Daoist Gushan was equally relentless.
With a lift of his hand, he waved the horsetail whisk three times.
Behind him, the mountain rose a yard, massive stone pillars emerged from below, a hundred of them interlinked into a mountain bridge.
"Little Sword Immortal friend's talent is unparalleled, this poor Daoist is impressed!"
Despite his words, Daoist Gushan showed no intention of holding back, casually tossing the horsetail whisk away, his foot stepping out with Seven Stars Step.
In the blink of an eye, he proactively approached Chen Yi, throwing a straightforward punch.
Heaven-Rending Dao Art Mountain Quake!
The fist intent seemed to transform into a giant mountain, as it was unleashed, it was like a mountain descending from the heavens.
The divine intent of the towering mountain behind him erupted simultaneously, as it tilted forward to brace against Daoist Gushan's back.
In an instant, the overwhelming momentum solidified completely, sealing within Chen Yi ten yards of space!
Chen Yi felt an immense force pressing against him, suppressing both his sword intent and body.
Daoist Gushan's incoming punch, though merely three inches away, seemed to eclipse the entire world in his eyes, carrying terrifying momentum as it approached from afar.
