Chapter 402: Dao Soldiers
As Fang Xing quietly observed, the situation in the arena changed once again.
"Rise!"
Venerable Sun performed intricate hand seals, and a bizarrely shaped treasure resembling a blade appeared. Its edge was incredibly sharp, and on the back of the blade, a dragon seemed to coil around.
"Dragon-Slaying Blade?! Old Sun, you've even brought out this once-in-a-lifetime secret treasure. We can't blame you for this."
The two Transcendent Venerables across from them exchanged glances and revealed their trump cards.
Heavenly essence energy surged, transforming into countless exquisite spells and seals.
The Venerable of the Qian family was a perpetually smiling, rotund monk.
His expression was solemn, and the heavenly essence energy infused into the Vajra Bodhimanda behind him, manifesting a thousand-foot-tall golden Maitreya.
With a big belly that could hold the universe, a constantly smiling mouth, and a golden Swastika-patterned Kasaya, he exuded an aura of unchanging tranquility...
At this moment, the Bodhimanda had its hands pressed together, trapping the blade light from the Dragon-Slaying Blade within its palms.
Golden light and blade light entangled and consumed each other, forming a terrifying storm.
The Venerable of the Li family was a woman, yet her power seemed to be the strongest.
In her hand, there was a black pearl, which was clearly a spatial treasure.
Within the space, countless Dao soldiers filled the area.
Led by thirty-six Nascent Soul True Monarchs from the Li and Qian families, they commanded three hundred and sixty Golden Core disciples and three thousand six hundred Foundation Establishment disciples, as well as numerous Foundation Establishment Dao soldiers, forming a grand formation.
Countless seals danced, and the mighty power of the spells empowered this female Venerable, making every spell she cast almost as formidable as a Celestial Venerable!
This Li Venerable was from the lineage of Sage Beggar Venerable and was in charge of the palace's Dao soldiers. After the soul lantern of Sage Beggar Venerable extinguished, she should have inherited the authority and managed the overall situation.
However, Venerable Sun disagreed and even introduced a Fifth Stage Dragon-Slaying Blade, which launched a surprise attack at the beginning, heavily injuring this woman and destroying the Sixth Stage Mountain Defense Array.
Otherwise, even if Venerable Sun had joined forces with the Fifth Stage Dragon-Slaying Blade, he might not have been a match for this female Venerable.
"Old Sun, it's time to fight to the death. Are you still holding back?"
The Fifth Stage Dragon-Slaying Blade, covered in blood, roared, "We have all sworn an oath with our essence spirits, and we each hold a portion of the other's essence spirit seal. What's there to distrust?"
It was a remnant of the Dragon King Court from back then and had been hiding in the Bright Sun Cultivation Realm.
Later, it was only after receiving the attention and support of Venerable Sun that it had the opportunity to advance to the Transcendent realm in other cultivation realms.
Upon hearing the news of Sage Beggar Venerable's death, it knew this was a rare opportunity and was determined to fight to the death!
Deep within the dragon's heart, there were also many hidden malicious thoughts:
'Human cultivators are too terrifying; they are the dominant force... Fortunately, they love to fight among themselves.'
'Kill! Die... It's best if we all perish together, then there will be a chance for the rise of our demon race!'
Upon hearing the dragon's mental transmission and seeing the injuries on the female Venerable Li's body rapidly healing, Venerable Sun, who knew what kind of secret technique she was using, finally stopped hesitating and handed over a black bowl to the Fifth Stage Dragon-Slaying Blade.
"That's... the Abyss Basin?"
When the Venerable Qian saw this, he couldn't help but become furious, "Old Sun, you've forgotten your roots... How could you give this precious treasure to the demon race?"
Venerable Sun had always been responsible for the cultivation and care of the sect's spirit beasts.
Initially, due to the spoils from the annihilation of the Dragon King Court, the Blazing Sun Palace had the most diverse hybrid dragons, dragon beasts, various cultivation methods, pills, and even battle formations, all of which formed a complete system, making it highly suitable for beast taming.
Moreover, the cultivators of the Blazing Sun Palace loved extravagance, and high-level cultivators always traveled in Nine-Dragon Drawn Carriages to display their prestige.
As the leaders set the example, the disciples also followed suit, mostly taming dragon blood demonic beasts as their spirit beasts. With a bit of training, they indeed became excellent helpers.
Even the sect had bred dragon spirit beasts for a long time, and some powerful descendants with reverted bloodlines had appeared.
However, they were all sealed, and their cultivation was limited to the Fourth Stage.
Most of them were released into the Abyss Basin, which was the sect's most important demon race Dao soldier!
This treasure was not only a spatial treasure but also a restrictive treasure.
The seals of numerous hybrid dragon species were entrusted to the Abyss Basin, allowing them to be controlled with a single thought.
But now, they had all been given to the Fifth Stage Dragon-Slaying Blade, which would immediately empower the demon race.
"Hmph!"
Venerable Sun, however, remained unconcerned, "The sect has a major flaw, and the flaw lies with your few families. I, the old man, am setting things right, clearing the universe... As for joining forces with the dragon, it's just a helpless move."
Roar!
The Fifth Stage Dragon-Slaying Blade held the Abyss Basin in its claws and let out a long, satisfying roar.
Celestial demon scripts flashed, transforming into various celestial demon seals and seals, refining the Abyss Basin.
Splash!
A sound of waves emerged.
At the top of the Blazing Sun Palace, a deep, dark sea of water appeared at some point.
Within the seawater, countless shimmering scales reflected the light, forming a dazzling sight.
Dragons and snakes intertwined, and demonic energy rose into the sky, forming a battle formation.
The power of the battle formation empowered the Fifth Stage Dragon-Slaying Blade, making it seem as if a dragon had entered the sea, with forked antlers on its head, an illusory inverse scale on its throat, and a fifth toe on its claws!
It seemed to have instantly transformed into a true dragon!
'No good! The Abyss Basin was originally the ultimate treasure of the Dragon King Court, extremely suitable for the growth of dragon-like creatures...'
Venerable Qian and Venerable Li exchanged glances, both feeling their scalp tingle.
The sect had indeed become lax over the years. In the profound depths of the ocean, there were Fourth Stage Dragon Kings, and it seemed there were no less than a hundred of them!
Among them, a white dragon and a yellow dragon appeared to have experienced a bloodline reversion, exuding an extremely dense aura of true dragons. If not for the restrictions in place, they would have advanced to the Fifth Stage long ago!
Even so, the Fifth Stage Transcendent Dragon King, having obtained a portion of the Abyss Basin's foundation, was almost a perfect match for it.
With a loud roar, the black waters surged downward, submerging the Blazing Sun Palace.
Countless disciples, whether Qi Cultivator Novices, Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, or Golden Core Cultivators, seemed to have lost their ability to fly and escape. They were all engulfed by the pitch-black waters.
Countless hybrid dragon beasts rushed forward, and soon, they couldn't even scream in agony. Only a large amount of crimson blood surfaced in the water.
The Fifth Stage Dragon King shook its head and waved its tail, then suddenly extended a claw!
With the clouds following the dragon and the wind following the tiger, this single claw caused the void to violently tremble, as if it would shatter in the next instant.
This was an attack that was infinitely close to the Sixth Stage Spirit Transformation!
Venerable Li's void treasure emitted a burst of light, causing many cultivators' faces to change, and blood trickled from the corners of their mouths.
The Ten Thousand Foot Golden Body Maitreya statue directly split open, spilling out golden Buddha blood, which then slowly dissipated.
"Amitabha... Sister Li, this is not something we can do. Let's go."
Venerable Qian clasped his hands together, "I'll cover your retreat!"
Although the sect had become decadent and corrupt, at the moment of its downfall, it never lacked wise and courageous individuals.
"You... won't be able to escape."
The Fifth Stage Dragon King roared, and the black sea realm covered the nine heavens and ten lands, sealing off an area of ten thousand miles. Dark clouds filled the sky, and it seemed like thunder could strike at any moment.
Such a formidable might even startled Venerable Sun, who was standing nearby, and he secretly regretted his decision.
...
"It's... I, as an outsider, can't bear to watch this."
At this moment, a clear female voice rang out in mid-air.
"Hmm?"
The four Transcendent cultivators were startled.
They channeled the power of heaven and earth, and their spiritual senses covered an area of a thousand miles, but they hadn't noticed anyone observing the battle. Moreover, the observer was so close by!
In the void, a young man with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes appeared, embracing a dignified and elegant woman.
His aura had already reached the Transcendent level!
"A Transcendent Venerable? An outsider Transcendent?"
Venerable Li's face was filled with doubt and uncertainty.
"Ethereal Immortal Palace?"
Venerable Sun seemed to recognize Jade Fairy and thought further, his eyes darting around.
"You... are too weak! You're not even worth my sword."
At this moment, Fang Xing took the lead and said, "However... as a human sword cultivator, I naturally stand on the side of humanity. Dare to disrupt the human realm with your demonic ways, die!"
As soon as he finished saying the word 'die', he drew his sword and slashed!
A clear and loud phoenix cry echoed through the void!
Countless crimson sword threads appeared, transforming into a flaming phoenix. Its wings spread out, releasing infinite flames, resembling a great sun.
Wherever the Great Sun Light passed, even the void was evaporated!
The sea realm, dark clouds, and thunder all vanished in an instant.
"Not good!"
Venerable Sun, who had already sensed something amiss, was about to unleash a secret technique, but the sword light was too fast!
Even the cry of a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix transformed into a terrifying spiritual attack, penetrating his essence spirit, causing him to slow down for a moment.
In that instant, their fates were sealed!
A hissing sound!
Crimson sword threads slashed through, easily tearing through whatever Fifth Stage talismans, defensive treasures, Fifth Stage robes, and even his robust physical body, as if they were mere paper.
Even...
His essence spirit was no exception!
As the fire phoenix flew past, Venerable Sun's body and spirit were utterly annihilated!
Compared to Venerable Sun, the Fifth Stage Dragon King roared, and blood seeped from its scales, as if it had transformed into a blood dragon.
It spat out its Fifth Stage Demon Core, controlled the Abyss Basin, and charged towards the fire phoenix that had just killed Venerable Sun.
In the end, the Abyss Basin let out a mournful cry, and countless dragon kings within it died instantly, their bodies torn apart by the sword. It was a gruesome sight.
The Fifth Stage Dragon King spat out a mouthful of essence blood and, holding the Abyss Basin, immediately transformed into a black streak of light, fleeing into the distance without hesitation!
It had no choice but to escape!
This was not an ordinary Transcendent Sword Venerable. The Fifth Stage Dragon King felt as if it was facing a Numinous Transformation Powerhouse, a Numinous Transformation sword cultivator!
To have withstood a single sword attack was already a desperate move, and it was lucky to have escaped with its life.
If it continued to resist, there would be no hope!
"Where can you escape to under the shattered void?"
Fang Xing sighed softly and struck out with his sword again!
The void flickered, and the Rusty Sword directly appeared above the black dragon king's head, and at the tip of the sword, the void shattered.
A terrifying silver storm instantly sliced through the Fifth Stage Dragon King's body, not even sparing its essence spirit.
This was the ultimate combination of the Void Flying Sword Technique and the sword technique that shattered the void!
"Void Annihilation!"
"Spirit Transformation power?"
Not only Venerable Qian and Venerable Li, but even Jade Fairy, was witnessing Fang Xing's true power for the first time, and they were all shaken to their cores, almost unable to control themselves.
"To be able to unleash a Spirit Transformation attack at the initial Transcendent realm?"
Jade Fairy's eyes seemed to contain stars, "Could it be that Young Master is truly a reincarnated Exiled Immortal?"
