The duel between Dugu Ye and Zhong Nantian was less about physical form and more a collision of philosophies. For the sword cultivators watching, the experience was electrifying and overwhelming; they gleaned far more from this battle than the disciples of the major sects ever could.
Both Dugu Ye and Zhong Nantian possessed combat prowess that transcended sword immortals like Xie Lingfan. While Dugu Ye walked the path of "returning to the mundane," Zhong Nantian had spent five millennia refining himself through the forging of his blade. Both were worthy of the title "Sword God," yet in this ultimate confrontation, Dugu Ye continued to transcend his own limits, turning Zhong Nantian—the greatest sword immortal of the past five millennia—into the whetstone for the final step of his transformation.
Zhong Nantian was not suppressed throughout the entire fight. His "Sword of Forgetting Emotion" went back and forth with Dugu Ye's "Sword of Indulging Emotion," holding its own.
