/ Steadily becoming a saint, the immortal officials hired me to tend the horses Chapter 163
Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Execution of the Great Demon King, the Terrifying Sword Venerable!
All the swords and flying swords in the city were trembling, exciting the cultivators immensely. They even raised their swords, holding them aloft.
“It's the Sword Intent of Sword Venerable Fudao!”
“Sword Venerable Fudao heard our call!”
“This Sword Intent is indeed from Sword Venerable Fudao!”
“With such vast Sword Intent, it should be able to contend with the Six-Headed Sea Dragon, right?”
“Where is Sword Venerable Fudao? Could he be in the city?”
The city was in an uproar. Everyone was very excited.
Clang—
The sound of swords being drawn suddenly overshadowed the clamor of voices. Countless swords rose into the sky, their tips pointing upwards, all hovering at the same height. There were over a million swords, and their light was so dazzling that it even outshone the falling snow.
On the Heavenly Repair Platform, Gu Zong stood up, and so did the other disciples, all gazing up at the swords in the sky.
Di Xie stood on the eaves, looking up at the scene, with an expression of incredulity on the face of this Mystic Heart Realm Great Demon.
“Such Sword Intent…”
Di Xie murmured to himself. Having come to the Supreme Sect for so many years, he had deeply felt the Sword Intent of Sword Venerable Fudao. He thought he had overestimated Sword Venerable Fudao, but now he realized the depth of his immeasurable power.
Even though he had the third layer of the Mystic Heart Realm cultivation, facing this Sword Intent made Di Xie feel insurmountable.
Under the gaze of the entire city, over a million swords flew towards the north, Sword Qi bursting forth, dispersing the falling snow between heaven and earth, unstoppable, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye. The vast sky was cleaved in two, revealing a clear blue sky, a magnificent sight.
Gu Zong's hair was blown askew by the strong wind as he looked towards the direction of the departing million swords, a smile appearing on his face, no longer with a frown as before.
“Six-Headed Sea Dragon, can you withstand the strongest sword of the Supreme Sect?”
Great Jiang Dynasty, Northern Territory.
Endless cultivators flew towards the north like a rain of arrows, a magnificent sight that scattered the falling snow in the sky.
Looking in the direction they were flying, thousands of miles away, on the Demon Battlefield, the Six-Headed Sea Dragon had already leaped over the bottomless canyon. Countless demonic creatures leaped over the canyon, following him to massacre the territory of the human race.
The Six-Headed Sea Dragon grasped a Great Cultivator of the Mystic Heart Realm in his hand. No matter how the cultivator struggled, he couldn't break free from his grasp.
Thousands of feet away, numerous Great Cultivators of the Mystic Heart Realm kept casting spells, but unfortunately, their spells and divine skills did not cause any harm to the Six-Headed Sea Dragon, not even breaking through his armor.
Rocks fell like a meteor shower, striking the demonic army, yet the Six-Headed Sea Dragon had no intention of protecting his subordinates.
As he advanced, he threw the Great Cultivator of the Mystic Heart Realm in his hand into his mouth, chewing as his six heads twisted around, scanning in all directions. Occasionally, he would grab almost-dead demons from the distance, swallow them in one bite, and blood rained down. Each of his mouths was stained with blood, a horrific sight.
His posture was lazy yet dominating.
The cultivators of the Mystic Heart Realm felt utterly hopeless. They had never felt so helpless even when facing Butcher Immortal Jing from the Ephemera Sect, because Butcher Immortal Jing had died too quickly then, whereas now they truly felt the might of a Mahayana Realm being.
Lu Lingjun stood on the back of the White Spirit Demon Emperor, her hair disheveled, her right shoulder bleeding profusely, blood bubbling constantly. She looked at the Six-Headed Sea Dragon from afar with eyes full of unwillingness.
“We can't move him at all! If this continues, we could end up in his mouth any time!”
The White Spirit Demon Emperor said despondently, without any of the bearing of a Unification Realm being. It now only wanted to flee from this place.
Lu Lingjun took a deep breath, knowing that continuing the battle was hopeless and would only lead to pointless sacrifices.
She harbored thoughts of retreating, and not just from the battlefield, but from this continent altogether.
Just then.
She seemed to sense something and suddenly turned her head, eyes wide with disbelief.
Behind, the world was vast and covered in white. Snow obscured everything, and the snow mist blew towards her with the wind.
Not only her, more and more cultivators felt something, all turning their heads to look.
Liang Canghai, the master of the Cangtian Sect, blood-covered and disheveled, held a great cauldron in his right hand, emitting tens of thousands of green lights, sweeping across the battlefield. Blood flowers burst wherever the lights swept, but his attacks on the Six-Headed Sea Dragon had no effect.
He suddenly turned sideways, eyes widened in shock, looking back.
The Six-Headed Sea Dragon, advancing and feeding simultaneously, also seemed to sense something. All six heads turned forward.
His six dragon faces twisted ferociously, roaring forward in unison, the dragon's roar shaking heaven and earth. Countless lower-cultivation cultivators and demons bled from the seven orifices, stunned by the roar.
The Six-Headed Sea Dragon raised his hand, demon energy bursting from his palm, manifesting a giant bone knife out of thin air. He gripped the knife with both hands and slashed forward in fury.
As the knife slashed out, demon energy surged like waves, transforming into black dragons that vied to reach the end of the world, sweeping heaven and earth. Any cultivator in the path was turned to ash on impact.
BOOM—
A shocking thunderous sound came from the horizon. Sword light illuminated heaven and earth, and a terrifying sword Qi, at a speed far surpassing the black dragon's demon energy, came killing from the horizon. Countless cultivators were overtaken by the sword Qi along the way.
These cultivators only felt heaven and earth brighten suddenly. Next, they were enveloped by a mysterious and vast Sword Intent, their pupils dilating, a multitude of swords surrounded by Sword Qi passing by them and forcefully entering their field of vision.
Lu Lingjun, being of higher cultivation, reacted faster, yet she was still overwhelmed by the countless swords. She didn't dare move, only able to watch the swords rush towards the Six-Headed Sea Dragon.
Her beautiful eyes widened, full of shock.
In merely the blink of an eye!
Over a million swords converged into a gigantic sword Qi, fiercely dispersing the black dragon demon energy, rushing headlong towards the Six-Headed Sea Dragon.
The Six-Headed Sea Dragon reacted extremely quickly. After the slash, all six heads opened their mouths, spewing torrents of flames like a burning river sweeping the sky.
BOOM—
The flames were shredded, and the massive demon body of the Six-Headed Sea Dragon was hit, forced to retreat repeatedly, flesh flying as if in a torrential downpour.
After retreating seven steps, the Six-Headed Sea Dragon stopped. The million-sword group had already pierced through his demon body, tracing an upward arc in the sky before halting.
Countless cultivators and demonic creatures stared, trembling, as the demon energy dissipated and the dragon heads fell to the ground, raising clouds of dust.
The terrifying demon body of the Six-Headed Sea Dragon was full of bloody holes, densely packed, horrifying. Its life force was completely extinguished.
The Sword Intent of the Taicang Divine-Shocking Sword forcefully eradicated its primordial spirit. A Mahayana demon core hovered among the million swords, the demon core of the Six-Headed Sea Dragon.
Silence reigned over the world!
Whether cultivators of the human race or demonic creatures, all gaped at the scene in shock.
The nearly invincible Six-Headed Sea Dragon died just like that?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh…
The million-sword group began flying towards the Taicang Dynasty, the sound of swords breaking through the air incessantly, shattering the silence.
“Sword Venerable Fudao! It's our Supreme Sect's Sword Venerable Fudao!”
A Great Cultivator shouted in ecstasy. It wasn't just him; those cultivators who had experienced the Sword Intent at the Heavenly Repair Platform were all excited, chanting the name of Sword Venerable Fudao.
Lu Lingjun looked up at the million-sword group resembling a meteor shower, eyes full of complex emotions.
The White Spirit Demon Emperor beneath her feet was equally stunned, speechless.
“Kill—”
Liang Canghai shouted loudly, equally excited. At his command, the cultivators of the Cangtian Sect led the charge against the demonic army.
Witnessing the death of the Six-Headed Sea Dragon, the demonic army immediately fell into disarray, fleeing in a panic. The demonic kings leaped up, fleeing back to the Demon Land at full speed.
The vast sword group swept over mountains and lakes, watched by cultivators, commoners, and demons alike along the way.
Great Jiang Dynasty, Taichen Dynasty, North Sea Mountains…
Sage Xuan Miao stood on a hillside, watching the sword group flying towards the horizon, confusion in his eyes.
Moments before, he had seen the million-sword group flying north, and now they had returned so quickly?
He watched the million-sword group disappear into the horizon, then stood in place, pondering.
During the flight, Gu An appeared out of nowhere in the sword group, seized the Six-Headed Sea Dragon's demon core, then vanished.
He returned to the Mystic Valley pavilion, unnoticed, having been gone for two breaths' time.
He used his divine sense to guide the million-sword group back to the Outer City. Drawing on his Nirvana Realm memory and insight, he returned each sword to its owner, causing excitement throughout the city.
Killing the Six-Headed Sea Dragon granted Gu An eight hundred years of life span, far less than what an eighth-rank Spirit Tree provided.
Gu An picked up the Daoist Xunchun and calmed his thoughts.
This intervention could potentially advance the demonic catastrophe.
If the demonic catastrophe arrived sooner, he would have no choice but to embark on a mass slaughter to reach a life span of ten million years early.
He did not want to slaughter the masses and fall into demonic ways, but for survival, he had to lower his principles.
In gaining life spans, Gu An constantly worried about excessive killing, forming inner demons or sins; such occurrences were not uncommon in the Immortal Cultivation World. Hence, he preferred to extend life through plants whenever possible.
Of course, he also feared that too much killing would attract unbeatable enemies.
He tried to avoid thinking about these things, wondering instead what abilities would be unlocked with a ten-million-year life span?
In the Outer City.
Di Xie watched the ecstatic cultivators on the Heavenly Repair Platform, lost in thought.
With his perceptive power, he could sense that the demonic energy of the Six-Headed Sea Dragon had dissipated.
How long had it been?
Sword Venerable Fudao actually used others' swords to successfully slay the Six-Headed Sea Dragon…
Di Xie knew the Six-Headed Sea Dragon. He disliked the Six-Headed Sea Dragon but had to admit its strength, ranking among the top in the seventy-two Great Demon Kings.
Being able to easily kill the Six-Headed Sea Dragon, how strong was Sword Venerable Fudao?
Di Xie suddenly felt that the upcoming war between the two races had an unpredictable outcome.
Sword Venerable Fudao might become the greatest obstacle for his father.
He was not worried, even a bit expectant.
Compared to the atmosphere of the Demon Clan, he preferred the atmosphere of the Supreme Sect, at least there was no internal strife.
Di Xie looked into the distance, eyes playful, thinking curiously: “Demon Master, you consider yourself to be extraordinary, thinking you can predict all things in heaven and earth. Could you have foreseen Sword Venerable Fudao?”
He walked up to the Heavenly Repair Platform, ready to continue observing the Sword Intent of Sword Venerable Fudao.
He had a premonition that the Sword Intent of Sword Venerable Fudao would be his greatest opportunity in this life!
