Chapter 769: Chapter 511: Sword Dao Divine Power, The End Has Come

“Brother, my next strike will be my strongest attack yet, be careful.”

High above, Little Yan stood in midair, a longsword in her hand, with a half-foot sword glow flickering.

The sharp intent emanating from it startled Little Li and the Five Elements, who were watching nearby.

“No worries, go ahead and show me.”

Lu Qing stood with his hands behind his back, unconcerned.

The Primordial Magnetic Field around him surged with dark currents, layer upon layer.

In the next moment, the longsword in Little Yan’s hand swung.

A dazzling sword light, with an unstoppable force, slashed toward Lu Qing.

As it passed, even the space itself wavered.

The powerful sword light cut into Lu Qing’s field, breaking through multiple layers of defense like a hot knife through butter.

It stopped just three feet before Lu Qing.

“Impressive!”

Lu Qing pinched the sword light with surprise in his eyes.

“Little Yan, with this strike, even a regular Golden Core Realm expert at the Third Transition might not be able to withstand it.”

Lu Qing was genuinely a bit surprised.

Though the field he set up was only in its most basic form, with many variations yet unperformed.

But for Little Yan to cut within three feet of him with one sword, was indeed beyond his expectations.

It can be said that with the power of this sword alone, throughout the world, aside from him and their master, as well as Little Li and the Five Elements.

It’s unlikely that any other Golden Core Realm expert could withstand it.

Even those three Saint Masters on the Holy Mountain, if faced with this slash, would have to avoid its edge.

Any slightest misstep, and they might even fall because of it!

And the one who executed this strike, Little Yan, was currently only a new entry into the Golden Core Realm, having just stabilized her cultivation, not even officially stepping into the First Transition of the Golden Core Realm.

“Is this the effect of the divine power you acquired after crossing the tribulation?” Lu Qing asked.

Not long ago, after Little Yan successfully crossed her tribulation, she also obtained a small divine power granted by the Tribulation Cloud Vortex.

Just now, Lu Qing had sensed divine power surging within the girl.

“Yes, brother, the divine power I acquired is called [Edged], it is a small Sword Dao divine power.

After using it, it significantly enhances the sharpness of my Sword Qi, unmatched in edge.” Little Yan replied.

“It’s an excellent divine power, and it suits you well.” Lu Qing nodded and said, “In the future, you should strive to comprehend this divine power; if you can achieve Great Success, your Sword Dao cultivation might be unparalleled, aside from our master, no second person could match you.”

“I will, brother!” Little Yan earnestly replied.

“Alright, we’ve finished sparring, let’s head back. Now that you’ve just consolidated your cultivation today and have come out, I’ve specially prepared some delicious food.” Lu Qing said with a smile.

“Delicious food! Brother, what delicious food did you prepare?”

Little Yan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

“You’ll find out when we get back.”

Lu Qing found the girl’s bright eyes amusing.

This girl had already become a Golden Core Realm expert, yet she’s still such a foodie.

The siblings, along with two spiritual beasts, started flying back to the village.

However, as they arrived back at the village, they saw someone pacing anxiously in front of their courtyard.

“Uncle Zhang, is something wrong?”

Lu Qing asked as he landed in front of the courtyard.

The person at the courtyard was, in fact, Grandpa Zhang’s eldest son from next door.

“Ah Qing, you’re back. My father suddenly fainted just now, and the elder doctor came to see him, saying that it seems he won’t make it!”

“How could that be? Isn’t Grandpa Zhang’s health usually very good?”

Lu Qing’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, his figure flashing as he headed towards the Zhang Family.

“What happened to Grandpa Zhang?”

Little Yan’s heart and spirit were also in turmoil, quickly following behind her brother.

When they arrived at the Zhang Family, Lu Qing saw their master standing beside the bed.

And Grandpa Zhang, with a head full of white hair, lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face as usual, breathing calmly, seemingly without any issues.

But Lu Qing immediately noticed something was off.

He could sense that Uncle Zhang’s vitality was now almost undetectable, like a flickering candle in the wind, always on the verge of extinguishing completely.

“You have returned?” the elder doctor said.

“Master, why has Grandpa Zhang suddenly become like this?” Lu Qing immediately asked.

“Mr. Zhang’s lifespan is nearing its end, he’s as an oil lamp running out of oil, with not many days left,” the elder doctor sighed.

“How could this be!”

Lu Qing activated his superpower immediately, looking towards the bed-ridden Uncle Zhang.

Several breaths later, his body trembled.

Because the information revealed by the superpower also indicated that Uncle Zhang had indeed reached the point of nearing the end of his lifespan, like an oil lamp running out of oil.

Moreover, such a situation was difficult to cure with ordinary medicine stones.

It’s an indication of the approaching end of life, a manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Rules, not something that regular medicine stones can resolve.

Generally speaking, in this world, the longest lifespan in the Postnatal Realm could reach up to one hundred and twenty years.

Even Martial Arts Grandmasters who have refined their physical body to the state of Postnatal Perfection cannot surpass this lifespan limit.

Only by stepping into the Innate Realm, undergoing a metamorphosis of life’s level, can one have a lifespan of two hundred years.

Uncle Zhang is now over ninety years old, theoretically not reaching the limit of his lifespan yet.

But in his youth, he worked hard day and night to support his family, consuming a lot of his vitality.

It’s already fortunate that he hasn’t developed any chronic illnesses given his physically strong constitution.

Over the years, although Lu Qing has often tended to his body, coupled with the nourishment of Spiritual Energy in Jiuli Village, maintaining his health well.

Yet, the lifespan consumed due to his hard work in youth is ultimately difficult to fully recover from.

Moreover, lacking cultivation, the amount of Qi-Blood his body could hold was always limited.
