Chapter 271: Myriad Swords Return to the Source
TL: Sponsored chapter (1/5)
"My cultivation base is regressing! What in the world is going on?" A Divine Core stage sword cultivator from the Profound Sky Sword Sect exclaimed in horror as a snow-white spiritual light infiltrated his body, causing his Divine Core stage aura to plummet drastically, falling to the Dao Foundation stage in mere moments.
"What kind of technique is this guy employing? It's terrifyingly powerful!" (f)reewe(b)
"My cultivation base is regressing as well!"
At this moment, not just him, but nearly all the Divine Core stage cultivators, except for a few half-step Primordial Spirit stage sword cultivators of the Profound Sky Sword Sect, were infiltrated by the snow-white spiritual light of Death of the Three Meridians, causing their cultivation bases to plummet dramatically!
Even those half-step Primordial Spirit stage sword cultivators saw their cultivation bases fall to the early Divine Core stage!
Before these individuals could fully grasp what was happening, the dark thunder clouds above roared with Heavenly Monarch Lightning, as countless streaks of pale lightning, ensconced in crackling electricity, ruthlessly descended upon the members of the Profound Sky Sword Sect!
Fifteen breaths of time had passed since Shao Huangnian had started engaging Qi Taiqing.The extremely mystical white screen of light defending him had become exceedingly transparent under Qi Taiqing's relentless assault of sword lights. It seemed as if it would shatter completely in the next moment.
"Do everything possible to block this lightning spell!" a half-step Primordial Spirit stage sword cultivator from the Profound Sky Sword Sect declared with a grave expression, as he watched the skyful of pale lightning barrel towards them.
Most of them had unsightly expressions, but they immediately took out their protective Magic Treasures and began channeling them with all their might. However, several newly advanced Divine Core stage Spirit Masters, still dazed from their plummeting cultivation bases, hadn't had the chance to draw their Magic Treasures and were instantly shredded into countless pieces by the Heavenly Monarch Lightning!
Even those who had managed to summon their Magic Treasures were struggling desperately, unable to afford even a moment's distraction. Their cultivation bases had fallen steeply, severely limiting their ability to fully unleash the defensive power of their Magic Treasures. Despite exerting all their strength, fending off the Heavenly Monarch Lightning was incredibly challenging. In the next moment, their barriers would be pierced by the lightning and torn to shreds.
"This guy looks so handsome, yet he employs such a vicious spell. What a mismatch!"
"Hold on for just a moment longer! I can feel my cultivation base starting to rapidly recover!"
"I can't hold on any longer! Ahh!"
Eventually, one of the Profound Sky Sword Sect members, whose cultivation base had fallen from the early Divine Core stage to the Dao Foundation stage, could no longer withstand the continuous onslaught of the Heavenly Monarch Lightning. The Magic Treasure in his hand was blasted away, and without its protection, he was overwhelmed by the rampant pale lightning.
In just three breaths of time, more than a dozen Divine Core stage Spirit Masters from the Profound Sky Sword Sect perished!
However, the oppressive effect of the Death of the Three Meridians spell on their cultivation bases was beginning to fade. If the remaining cultivators' cultivation bases were fully restored, Xu Disheng wouldn't have enough time to annihilate them all in the remaining time. After thirty breaths, the white screen of light defending Shao Huangnian would completely shatter, leaving them unable to resist Qi Taiqing's sword lights. At that point, their defeat would be inevitable.
The dozens of Divine Core stage cultivators and more than 200 Dao Foundation stage cultivators, following Xu Disheng's command, managed to put a stop to the sword arrays formed by the 1000 Dao Foundation stage sword cultivators from the Profound Sky Sword Sect. For the moment, they were unable to break away.
"Profound Edict Spirit Lightning, Blackwater Yin Lightning."
Just before the Divine Core stage sword cultivators could fully recover, Xu Disheng altered the hand seal he was forming. A vast, incomparable surge of Spiritual Force burst forth as the projection of the Paramount Ancient Bell within him rotated to its limit. Xu Dishengs pale complexion grew even paler, while the Heavenly Monarch Lightning clouds above underwent a miraculous transformation, unleashing a soul-shaking growl!
In an instant, the pale lightning was replaced by Blackwater Yin Lightning, leaving the Profound Sky Sword Sect with no time to react. From the dark, ominous clouds, the lightning ferociously struck down!
Boom!
Snaking currents of electricity darted about as the black lightning formed a net wide enough to envelop hundreds, completely engulfing those Divine Core stage cultivators of the Profound Sky Sword Sect who were just a step away from shaking off the Death of the Three Meridians and restoring their cultivation bases!
The ground was now a sea of lightning. Even Qi Taiqing, who was just about to send Shao Huangnian flying with a single sword strike, showed a slight change in expression, intending to rescue those struggling within the sea of lightning.
However, Shao Huangnian, wielding the mystical screen of light, rapidly flew towards him, laughing loudly. As he interfered with Qi Taiqing once again.
Screams of agony emerged from the sea of Blackwater Yin Lightning, causing Qi Taiqing's eyes to nearly burst with rage. He decisively ignited a sliver of his Primordial Spirit's origin, drastically strengthening his sword lights to grow to dozens of meters in length. At the 24th breath, one of the sword lights slashed apart Huang Shaonians defensive-type Clone Avatar stage talisman!
The protective screen of light protecting Shao Huangnian shattered. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and was sent flying by the impact, but his face still bore a trace of frenzied laughter. "Qi Taiqing, you fool, only now did you decide to ignite your Primordial Spirit's origin. Too bad, practically all of the Divine Core stage cultivators from the Profound Sky Sword Sect are dead now. My Clone Avatar stage talisman treasure was not in vain, hahahahaha!"
Within the relentlessly ravaging sea of Blackwater Yin Lightning, only a few half-step Primordial Spirit stage sword cultivators from the Profound Sky Sword Sect still remained. They all wore extremely grim expressions as they stared at Xu Disheng, their faces filled with disbelief and rage.
"This guy only has an early Divine Core stage cultivation base, but the might of his spells is way too horrifying! Especially that second black lightning spell, it has already surpassed the Divine Core stage, reaching the offensive prowess of the Primordial Spirit stage!"
"The snow-white spiritual light that could forcibly lower our cultivation bases is extremely strange! Who exactly is this guy?"
Although Xu Disheng's Spiritual Force was incredibly concentrated, and he had the Paramount Ancient Bell to rapidly absorb the power of heaven and earth, his continuous casting of several extremely powerful and terrifying Dao-protecting Higher Knowledge abilities still left him feeling slightly drained. Unable to maintain the onslaught of Blackwater Yin Lightning, the spell dissipated. contemporary romance
The relentless barrage of lightning gradually ceased, and the dark clouds also slowly dispersed, leaving behind only devastation.
Just like that, the Divine Core stage Spirit Masters of the Profound Sky Sword Sect were eradicated by Xu Disheng's three spells, leaving only the sect leader and a few half-step Primordial Spirit stage sword cultivators!
Qi Taiqing's eyes boiled with uncontrollable killing intent, and a myriad of brilliantly dazzling sword lights appeared around him. He stepped through the air, walking slowly towards Xu Disheng. "Such a prodigious talent is about to perish. What a shame," he said in an icy tone.
Xu Disheng's overwhelming combat power, which defied all logic, was not something that could be achieved at the early Divine Core stage. The previous technique he unleashed, Blackwater Yin Lightning, was comparable to the attack of an average Primordial Spirit stage cultivator. This indicated that he had to be an unparalleled genius from a supremely powerful force.
However, at this point, delving into these details was meaningless. The enmity between them had already become irreconcilable, and only the complete annihilation of one party would settle it.
"Daoist Brother, can you still fight?" Xu Disheng asked, turning his head to look at Shao Huangnian, who had just consumed several precious medicinal pills.
"No problem. I only lost a Clone Avatar stage talisman treasure just now. However, if you had arrived any later, I truly would have died," Shao Huangnian replied, his black saber trembling slightly as he turned to look at Xu Disheng, his eyes carrying an inexplicable meaning.
Facing Qi Taiqing alone was akin to seeking death. Without the protection of the Clone Avatar stage talisman treasure, he would have been slain within moments, completely unable to resist.
But if the two of them faced Qi Taiqing together, they would have much more room to breathe. Even though the odds of victory were still slim, there was at least a sliver of possibility.
Qi Taiqing's expression was ice-cold, and the dazzling sword lights swirling around him were becoming increasingly numerous. They were densely packed and innumerable, filling the sky with fierce sword intent that seemed to pierce through the heavens!
"Myriad Swords Return to the Source!"
As his words reached their ears, the countless fierce sword lights blotted out the sky, rapidly descending upon Xu Disheng and Shao Huangnian!
Shao Huangnian was surrounded by several layers of profound light for protection, but he still underestimated the enraged strike of a Primordial Spirit stage body-refining sword cultivator. The dense sword lights shattered layer after layer of protective profound light. Several top-grade Magic Treasures and Psychic Magic Treasures were blasted away, until all the layers of protection around him were completely broken through!
The remaining sword lights, though significantly reduced, were still not something Shao Huangnian could face directly. Blood sprayed from his body, and he was directly cut by the sword lights, losing both arms and suffering deep wounds across his chest and abdomen. He was almost completely covered in blood as he fell heavily to the ground, his life and death unknown.
Although many rare spiritual items could regenerate lost limbs, Shao Huangnian had indeed been a bit too confident this time. Everyone had greatly underestimated the combat power of a Primordial Spirit stage body-refining sword cultivator. The true lethality of his attacks was far more terrifying than they had imagined.
Previously, Qi Taiqing had not taken Xu Disheng seriously, and the price he paid was extremely heavy, losing all of the Divine Core stage Spirit Masters from the Profound Sky Sword Sect in just a few breaths of time!
This infuriated Qi Taiqing beyond measure, filling his heart with extreme hatred towards Xu Disheng. Thus, he immediately deployed Myriad Swords Return to the Source upon engaging, intending to utterly annihilate both of them!
What Shao Huangnian endured was merely a fraction of the sword light, yet he still couldn't resist and was severely injured, completely losing his combat ability and falling unconscious on the spot.
The remaining majority of the sword light converged into a beautiful and dense sword rain, obscuring the sky as it rapidly swirled and sliced towards Xu Disheng!
