Chapter 762: Sword Shatters the Purple Sun, Overpowering the Crowd
Chapter 762: Sword Shatters the Purple Sun, Overpowering the Crowd
The Blood Sword soared into the sky, and sword light rained down like a shower.
The chaotic spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, as if finding its center, rushed towards the overwhelming sword light.
Within the sword light that resembled a tornado, a white figure flickered in and out, its true appearance indiscernible.
But the disdainful and condescending smile from earlier was immediately noticed.
"Huang San!"
Yu Xu exclaimed softly, her face turning pale.
Whoosh! A figure appeared beside her, grabbed her arm without a word, and it was none other than the Heavenly Mountain Immortal.
He didn't waste any words, only uttering a single word.
"Go!"
A small beast resembling a pangolin flew out from his body, and a large mouth opened up, swallowing him and Yu Xu. The mouth then closed, and with a flip, they disappeared into the earth in an instant.
On the other side.
Shi Ju, who had secretly taken the Illusionary Core earlier and was now surrounded by the crowd, did not take the opportunity to leave when the encirclement weakened. Instead, he watched with great interest.
His gaze was fixed on the awe-inspiring sword light, and within his pupils, he could barely make out a faint, illusory figure amidst the grand sword light.
"Is that Huang San?"
Qi Xiong Cheng, holding a large gourd under his arm, nodded solemnly, his expression filled with apprehension.
"He's become stronger!"
But Shi Ju shook his head, "It's not that he's become stronger, but rather, this person has been accumulating power for a long time, and by unleashing all his abilities, he's created such a formidable display. However, once this move is over, he'll surely be left in a state of exhaustion. That's when I'll seize the opportunity to capture him and obtain the Heavenly Fate Pill!"
Qi Xiong Cheng was taken aback, but upon closer inspection, it was indeed as Shi Ju had said! In fact, everyone present had noticed this as well.
Such a tremendous commotion couldn't possibly be casually created by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
Clearly, the opponent had exhausted all their power, intending to finish the battle in one go.
Aside from Yu Xu and the Heavenly Mountain Immortal, who had witnessed Luo Chen's prowess earlier, no one else in the crowd dared to escape.
In everyone's minds, the words "Heavenly Fate Pill" emerged.
That pill was personally refined by the Dan Sage, and whether it was consumed by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator in this realm or brought back as an offering to their elders, it would be of great benefit.
They only needed to withstand this attack, and once Luo Chen's power was exhausted, they could do as they pleased with him!
Especially!
At this moment, Luo Chen's greatest hatred was not directed at them but at Gu Yuan, who had plotted against him, shattering his enlightenment state.
The brighter the Unwavering Treasure Mirror in Gu Yuan's hand, the more it reflected his current anger.
He would take the lead!
No one stepped forward to interrupt Luo Chen.
Because no one knew when the opponent would unleash that sword.
From such a distance, if they started moving and suddenly got struck by a surprise attack, or if the opponent focused their attack on the first person to act, it would be a pointless endeavor.
Everyone waited.
Waited for that sword to fall.
Evidently, Luo Chen wouldn't keep them waiting for long.
The surviving Illusionary Beasts around, having already suffered from the previous slaughter and the current terrifying sword light, began to scatter and flee.
These were all his prey, and he wasn't about to let them all escape.
In the air, a long whistle sounded.
"Slash!"
The next moment, the mighty sword light descended with a boom.
The world was filled with a crimson hue! Everyone acted simultaneously to resist the might of this sword.
Gu Yuan held the treasure mirror with one hand, illuminating the heavens and earth. A pillar of light as thick as a water bucket burst forth, confronting the sword light head-on.
Gu Chen leaped forward, landing in front of Gu Yuan. He raised his hands towards the sky, and his golden robe inflated wildly. The heavens behind him rolled inward, transforming into a golden light screen that blocked the two of them.
Shi Ju coldly snorted, closing his folding fan with a slap. He struck the gourd under Qi Xiong Cheng's arm with his palm. The gourd trembled, spewing out a dazzling golden glow that enveloped the two of them.
The others also displayed their abilities.
The old man from the Wang family tapped his green bamboo staff, and a bamboo forest rose from the ground.
Long Yuan and Ming Yan exchanged glances, and their twin swords combined, switching to an offensive stance and moving against the current.
Luo Chen paid no heed to all of this.
He pointed his fingers like a sword, manipulating the Yuan Tu Blood Sword as it descended casually.
The first to face the brunt of the attack was the light beam from the treasure mirror.
Hss!
With just a touch, the light beam from the treasure mirror, which had previously overturned a white falcon comparable to a middle-level Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, was instantly sliced in half.
The residual power of the sword light continued to fall.
Seeing this, everyone was stunned.
Was this sword so powerful? But they had almost no time to react.
Hss! Hss! Hss!
The sharp sword light, like a knife, swept through a radius of a hundred li.
The sword aura emitted by the combined twin swords, under this blood-red sword light, was like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon, shattering in an instant.
Long Yuan's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. Without hesitation, he grabbed the waist of the woman beside him and unleashed all his power with a palm strike.
Boom!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, his hair disheveled, and he clung to Ming Yan as they plummeted to the ground in disarray.
In another area.
The lush green bamboo forest was cut off at the waist, leaving only stumps.
The green bamboo staff in the old man of the Wang family's hand, dripping with verdant vitality, suddenly cracked, revealing a long fissure.
Before he could mourn the damage to his cherished treasure, a scream from behind caught his attention.
He turned around, his eyes wide, his face contorted with rage.
Without the cover of the bamboo forest, the young master was engulfed in the blood sword, his face filled with despair.
The old man of the Wang family only had time to shout, "Activate the Illusory Chess, leave the Heavenly Cavern!"
Amidst his pain, the young master remained calm and activated the Illusory Chess.
A swirling vortex of black and white light enveloped him, about to break through the boundaries and escape.
But just as he was about to leave, a crimson sword light chased after him.
Boom!
Gu Chen staggered and retreated, his face turning red.
Just as he reached Gu Yuan, he gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
The golden light screen in front of him, riddled with countless holes, suddenly closed, enclosing both of them inside.
Gu Yuan's expression, which had been indifferent, changed upon seeing this.
"Gu Chen, what happened?"
He understood the power of Gu Chen's Golden Robe better than anyone.
It was called the Golden Iron Armor, forged from a high-grade meteorite, gifted by their clan, capable of merging a cultivator's spiritual power with their blood essence.
In battle, the sleeves of the robe struck like an iron club.
When defending, the golden screen was as sturdy as a copper wall and iron wall.
Even when it was first forged, it was already a rare top-grade treasure.
After Gu Chen's painstaking refinement for hundreds of years, upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the clan's elders further helped him refine it into a True Artifact.
Especially when combined with Gu Chen's Body and Spirit Dual Cultivation, its might was unparalleled! How could it be so easily overwhelmed by a single sword beam?
Gu Chen's face was solemn, and his arms trembled slightly.
"That sword is extraordinary!"
That sword? Gu Yuan was taken aback.
Above the dilapidated Three Rainbow Falls, Gu Dao Su's expression changed slightly, and the treasure mirror in his hand was shaken out by the terrifying force.
On his exquisite, handsome face, a sharp sword aura left a thin bloodstain.
In his eyes, the majestic sword light continued to fall.
"What kind of treasure is this?"
"Su'er, don't be distracted!"
A cry came from behind, and Xu Fu had already stood up, not knowing when. She bit her finger, and the fresh blood smeared on the brass mirror.
Seeing this, Gu Dao Su's face changed greatly.
"Auntie, you!"
"I used the secret technique to improve my realm, but it's of no use to you now, it's just a burden. At this moment, I'll use this last bit of strength to take that thief down with me!"
The Unwavering Treasure Mirror activated again, and the mirror light reappeared.
A dazzling pillar of light shot out from the mountain, heading straight for the source of the sword light.
Gu Dao Su watched this, opened his mouth, but said nothing more.
Taking the thief down together seemed impossible.
That sword was so terrifying! Blocking it was already difficult, let alone taking the thief down together.
But the next moment, his eyes showed surprise.
In his sight, the blood-colored sword light had deviated from the mirror light, falling towards Shi Ju.
This way, the mirror light no longer needed to defend, and it could attack Luo Chen, who was in the sky, using hand seals to manipulate the flying sword.
"Hmm?"
Shi Ju looked at the falling sword light in confusion.
"Instead of going after Gu Dao Su, you're coming after me? But if you think you can get the better of me, you're sorely mistaken."
He slapped the Purple Yang Gourd again, and a blazing fire burst out, forming a golden crow in the air.
The golden crow circled him once, then soared towards the dazzling sword light.
Upon contact, the scene resembled melting snow.
Countless blood-colored sword lights dissipated in the air.
Seeing this, Shi Ju smiled coldly.
"The blood-colored filth is obviously a demonic treasure. This gourd of mine has accumulated plenty of true solar fire, which is most effective against these unorthodox methods."
Sizzle...
After the golden crow dissipated, the originally majestic sword light also diminished.
A grotesquely shaped blood-red long sword, filled with terrifying killing intent, revealed its true form.
"You've exhausted your tricks, is this all you've got?" Shi Ju licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with greed as he extended his hand towards the blood sword.
With his insight, he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of this sword.
Even if it wasn't a Spirit Treasure, its lethality was no less than those non-offensive Spirit Treasures.
If he could capture it, he might gain another powerful ally.
As his hand stretched out, golden flames enveloped it, giving him the confidence to grab the sword barehanded!
Just then,
"Go!"
A light voice sounded in his ear, and the blood sword suddenly turned, skillfully bypassing his fiery hand.
Then, in front of everyone, it slashed towards the giant gourd.
Qi Xiong Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he instinctively reached out to block.
Crack!
His right arm was severed.
The blood sword showed no hesitation and fell on the giant gourd.
As Shi Ju was astonished and Qi Xiong Cheng was caught off guard, the Purple Yang Gourd seemed to have been struck.
Cracks appeared, spreading like turtle shell patterns.
Until...
Boom! The gourd suddenly shattered, and large clouds of white mist instantly emerged, with illusionary cores spinning wildly and escaping in all directions.
"Damn it!"
Shi Ju could no longer maintain his composure and started cursing.
These were all the illusionary cores he and Qi Xiong Cheng had spent twenty years collecting!
Without the Purple Yang Gourd's seal, what could they do? Qi Xiong Cheng frantically tried to retrieve the escaping illusionary cores.
But now that they had escaped, these illusionary cores would never return to captivity.
Amidst the hazy clouds, the illusionary cores resembled shooting stars, dragging long tails as they flew in all directions.
"Tranquilize!"
Long Yuan Zhen Ren summoned his remaining strength to tranquilize an illusionary core, grasping it in his hand.
"Go!"
Smoke Ming glared angrily at the distant Luo Chen, "He's already exhausted, should we let Huang San go?"
Long Yuan Zhen Ren hurriedly said, "Northern Sea wandering cultivators have many tricks, they're not easy to kill. I'm severely injured and can't fight anymore, retreating is the best option!"
Smoke Ming could sense her companion's declining vitality and dared not delay.
Before leaving, she still glared at Luo Chen with resentment.
At that moment, her beautiful face paled.
The light beam from the treasure mirror had clearly pierced Luo Chen's body, but in a daze, Luo Chen's figure reappeared in the void.
The light from the treasure mirror fell on a mountain behind him.
In the blink of an eye, the mountain crumbled into dust behind Luo Chen, rising into the air.
Smoke Ming's red lips parted in disbelief.
Did it miss?
"How could it have missed?"
Gu Daosu stared at the scene, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The Unwavering Treasure Mirror was capable of locking onto enemies with divine perception, and although it might not have been powerful enough, it rarely missed its attacks.
"Perhaps I was not clear-headed, and my divine perception didn't lock onto him!"
Xu Fu sighed, cradling the treasure mirror in her arms, her face filled with disappointment.
"Xiao Su, it's up to you now. I can't hold on any longer."
As she spoke, the Illusory Chess flew out, enveloping her in a dual-colored light before slowly disappearing.
Before leaving, she transmitted her voice, "Without my protection, don't linger here. Although Huang San set up this trap to harm you, that sword was aimed at Shi Ju. He clearly coveted the Illusionary Core and Spirit Acumen. After I leave, don't cause him trouble. Find a quiet place and use the Illusionary Core I left behind to try comprehending the true intent of the law once more. You're just one step away from success, so there's no need to compete with them..."
Gu Daosu watched as the vortex dissipated in the air, his face turning grim.
His gaze shifted to the white mist outside the mountain and the white-robed man still standing in the void.
Even though he felt reluctant, he could only follow the advice of his elders and quietly retreat.
Just as he left, two loud shouts echoed from the foot of the mountain.
"Huang San!"
"I'll make you pay!"
The elderly Wang family member's eyes turned red, and he soared into the sky, breaking through the mist with anger.
Not only that, but two members of the Gu family also emerged from the mist, taking slow steps.
They all fixed their divine perception on Luo Chen, locking onto him.
Even a giant white falcon struggled to spread its wings in the mountain valley and flew towards Luo Chen.
The previous sword attack covered an extensive area, targeting not only the Nascent Soul cultivators but also the illusory beasts!
Aside from the white falcon and a few powerful illusory beasts, the rest were all scattered by the attack.
This was why, after the sword light swept through, the surrounding hundreds of miles were still shrouded in dense white mist.
On a nearby mountain peak, two figures slowly emerged.
Yu Xu's face turned pale, filled with lingering fear.
Where did Fu Qinglan find such a powerful Dao Guardian? The power of that sword was truly terrifying! If it hadn't been for the fact that the sword didn't specifically target anyone, its power would have been even more devastating.
Otherwise, none of the people present would have been able to withstand it alone.
Even so, it still resulted in one person being severely injured, and a Nascent Soul Stage true disciple of a prestigious family was eliminated from the Cave Heavens.
If she had known that Xu Fu couldn't hold on and was forced to leave, she would have been even more terrified.
But even so, her heart raced with lingering fear.
"Heavenly Mountain Dao Friend, it's fortunate that your vision is so profound, and you led me out of there."
Heavenly Mountain Immortal looked at the withered burrowing insect in his hand and shook his head.
"With the previous lesson, how could I possibly repeat the same mistake?"
He remembered it very clearly! When he and Wrathful Eyes Vajra had joined forces to besiege Luo Chen, the latter had only used defensive treasures and hadn't employed any other treasures.
But this time, Luo Chen had solemnly activated his flying sword, and it was clear that he had been accumulating power for a long time. One could only imagine how terrifying the power of that sword would be.
It would be even more powerful than the Phoenix Flame and Flame Dragon!
However, after seeing the result of that sword suppressing all the Nascent Soul cultivators, he realized that he had still underestimated this person.
"Dao Friend, should we take advantage of Huang San's depleted power and go surround and kill him?"
"Depleted power?"
Heavenly Mountain Immortal chuckled and pointed with his hand.
Yu Xu followed his gesture and saw the white mist gathering like a dragon towards the giant lake beneath Luo Chen's feet.
"How is this depleted power? He looks like he still has the strength to fight."
Yu Xu was taken aback.
By her side, Heavenly Mountain Immortal sighed.
"Moreover, don't forget that he has a terrifying body that can tear apart Wrathful Eyes Vajra. Even if he's at his weakest, before he perishes, he can still drag others down with him. Let's not get involved in this muddy water."
...
"This Ghost God Biyi is indeed useful, disrupting divine perception and avoiding locks, especially against these long-range attacks."
Luo Chen smiled faintly and reached out his hand.
Whoosh! A streak of blood light tore through the clouds and mist, landing in his hand.
Holding the longsword, Luo Chen looked towards the approaching enemies from multiple directions.
The Wang family elder's eyes turned red, wishing he could cut Luo Chen into a thousand pieces.
Shi Ju, the Wang family's direct Nascent Soul heir, had his decades of hard work destroyed in an instant.
The Gu family's Dao Guardian, in full golden robes, was in perfect condition, his battle intent surging.
And there was also an extremely angry white falcon, an illusory beast, constantly screeching.
Luo Chen shook his head.
"If it were any other time, I, Luo, wouldn't mind sparring with you all, but right now, there's no need for that."
He waved his hand.
The giant lake beneath his feet rumbled.
The vast lake waters parted, and a giant cauldron emerged, with clouds and mist rapidly flowing into it.
Within the cauldron, over a dozen illusionary cores struggled frantically, but they were forcibly suppressed by a phantom soul controlling the treasure cauldron.
"That's enough."
Luo Chen muttered, and the cauldron instantly shrank, returning the divided soul to his sea of consciousness.
Without even looking at the enemies rushing towards him, he threw out a formation disk.
Nine Heavens Ten Earths Teleportation Array!
A cyan light shot out, and Luo Chen stepped into it.
Boom! In just one breath, the cyan light soared into the sky.
A heaven-surging golden flame swept towards him, but the terrifying heat instantly evaporated the lake water below.
However, Luo Chen had already disappeared from the surroundings.
