Chapter 899
Sword Master's Broken Edge
"Rumble rumble rumble—"
The Burial God Starfield.
This place was originally a desolate and lifeless abandoned star sea on the edge of the Taixu Realm Sea, but today, it has gathered the most terrifying and vast tide of life since the birth of this Taixu Realm Sea!
10 billion!
A massive army of 10 billion cultivators, each with a cultivation level at least at the eighth realm (Creation Realm), filled every corner of this star field like a colorful, sky-covering ocean!
Countless colossal spaceships, ancient divine mountains, and ancient dragon boats, each a million feet long, floated in the void. Banners representing various hidden sects and ancient clans of the Void fluttered in the fierce wind.
On the outermost edge of this army of 10 billion, the [Ten Thousand Heavens Annihilation Demon-Slaying Array], jointly set up by three thousand eleventh-realm Taixu Dao Lords, has been fully formed! It is an ultimate defensive and offensive barrier that is tens of millions of miles thick and is formed by pure killing laws. The array patterns flowing on it even forcibly repel the original bottom celestial orbit of the Taixu Boundary Sea.
At the very center of the army.
Three supreme thrones, crafted from the core of the shattered Great Thousand World's origin, hang high above the nine heavens.
The three peak experts of the Twelfth Realm (Late Stage) – Li Juetian, the sect leader of the Ancient Demon Slaying Sect, Ao Cang, the Dragon Ancestor of the Heavenly Dragon Holy Island, and the Nameless Sword Master of the Eternal Sword Tomb – were sitting high above, closing their eyes to meditate, receiving the fanatical worship from the billions of allied troops below, as if they were looking at creator gods.
"With the three patriarchs in command and an army of billions in formation! Even if a legendary thirteenth-realm ruler were to descend, he would surely perish here today!"
"Hmph! That demon named Su Chen is arrogant and conceited. Does he think he can be invincible after destroying the Lingxiao Immortal Dynasty? If he dares to come, I will definitely show him what the true strength of the Taixu orthodox lineage is!"
"He's probably trembling with fear in some rat hole by now, hahaha!"
Among the billions of troops, the sect leaders and elders who were usually high and mighty were now gathered together, encouraging each other. Looking at the densely packed, endless crowd of fellow practitioners around them, their original fear of the extreme tyrant was replaced by an unprecedented sense of security from the sheer number of people, and even a kind of blind confidence arose.
however.
Just as this coalition of billions was indulging in the illusion of being "invincible," preparing to wait for the demon to come and die.
"Crack—!!!!"
A piercing, ear-piercing sound, like a mirror being shattered by a heavy hammer, rang out without warning directly in front of the Burial God Starfield!
The sound was not loud, but it ignored the isolation of the [Ten Thousand Days Annihilation Demon Extermination Array] and exploded directly in the deepest part of the true spirits of these 10 billion cultivators!
"What's going on?!"
On the throne, Li Jue Tian, Ao Cang, and the Nameless Sword Master all opened their eyes at the same time, their gazes like three beams of light piercing through eternity, staring intently at the front of the great formation.
next moment.
In the pupils of the billion-dollar coalition that contracted in that instant.
The light barrier of the [Ten Thousand Heavens Annihilation Demon-Slaying Array], which was said to be unbreakable even by those at the twelfth level of the Great Perfection Realm, actually bulged inward with an exaggerated arc!
Followed by.
Boom!!!
The light barrier of the great formation was like a fragile windowpane, brutally, rudely, and unreasonably smashed through on the spot by a massive ramming head covered in dark golden barbs and radiating a terrifying aura that could reduce everything to nothingness!
"What...what kind of monster is that?!"
As the great formation shattered, a massive, dark gold warship, large enough to crush hundreds of star systems beneath its hull, roared into the hole, carrying terrifying kinetic energy capable of shattering all epochal laws!
No cover! No tactics! No speed reduction!
The Longevity Ultimate Battleship was like a raging chaotic demon bull, charging directly into this star net filled with 10 billion people!
The materialized [Extreme Void Origin] around the warship transformed into a dark golden storm that filled the sky. The millions of allied cultivators and thousands of ancient divine ships made of fine steel that blocked the warship's path did not even have time to scream before they were instantly turned into blood-red dust flying everywhere under the crushing force of this extreme storm!
"Enemy attack!!! The demon is here!!! The demon is here!!!"
The once confident allied forces of billions suddenly found their formation in turmoil upon seeing the iconic dark gold warship and the millions of immortal demons on board, all shrouded in terrifying demonic power!
"Stay calm! What's the panic?!"
Li Jue Tian suddenly stood up, and the overwhelming pressure of his late-stage twelfth realm demon-slaying aura swept across the entire area, forcefully suppressing the army's panic.
His gaze was dark as he stared at the super-powerful warship that was hovering in the very center of the army of billions, completely surrounded. A cruel and mocking smile crept onto his lips.
"Su Chen! You really are a brainless brute!"
Li Jue Tian's voice, amplified by his magical power, resounded throughout the entire Burial God Starfield: "You choose the path to heaven and barge into the gates of hell! You, with a mere warship and a mere ten million demon soldiers, dare to venture deep into the heart of my billions of troops? Do you truly believe yourself to be an immortal and indestructible creator god?!"
"Today, even a single spit from each member of my billion-strong allied army could drown your wrecked ship!!!"
With Li Jue Tian's roar, the 10 billion-strong allied forces finally reacted.
Yup!
The enemy has only one ship! And only ten million people!
We have 10 billion! A 1000 to 1 numerical advantage! We're surrounded, are we supposed to be afraid of him?!
"Kill him! Slay the demons and defend the righteous path!!!" The allied forces of billions regained their courage, their roar shaking the heavens. The light of countless magical treasures began to shine in the starry sky, like a colorful sea of death stars, locking onto the Longevity Ultimate Path warship.
however.
Faced with this deadly threat, which even the Heavenly Dao of the Great Void Realm Sea had to avoid, the situation was dire.
The highest point of the Longevity Ultimate Path Warship.
On that supreme throne, crafted from the skull of the sovereign.
Su Chen.
He was leaning back against it with a leisurely air.
Dressed in a spotless green robe, Ye Weilan knelt obediently beside the throne, pouring him a cup of Creation Wine, brewed from the essence and blood of the Twelve Realms Immortal Emperors, using a white jade goblet.
Su Chen picked up his wine glass and took a small sip. His deep black eyes, reflecting the endless void, swept over the overwhelming army of billions around him with utter laziness and casualness.
His face showed no trace of panic at being surrounded.
Instead, he revealed a kind of heartfelt, extremely savage joy, like when you go to a high-end buffet and see the table full of dazzling, juicy ingredients!
"Deeply isolated?"
Su Chen casually tossed the wine cup in his hand aside.
With a crisp "clink," the wine glass fell onto the deck.
Su Chen slowly stood up, his hands resting on the hilt of the Origin Demon Blade at his waist. He looked down at the three alliance leaders, including Li Juetian, and a sinister smile slowly spread across his lips, revealing his gleaming white teeth.
"Old man, are your eyesight getting worse?"
"How can this be called a lone army venturing deep into enemy territory?"
Su Chen raised his hand and pointed to the countless 10 billion cultivators covering the sky, his voice revealing an absolute arrogance and cruelty that regarded all living beings as fattened pigs in a pen.
"I have come to this banquet, and you have all obediently washed your necks and are waiting here."
"They even thoughtfully prepared so many pre-meal snacks for me!"
"This filial piety is very satisfying! Hahahaha!!!"
Su Chen's unrestrained and arrogant extreme demonic voice was like a rusty saw, fiercely rubbing against the eardrums of the billion-strong allied forces.
quiet!
A brief silence!
Then came an uncontrollable, earth-shattering rage!
Pre-meal snacks?! These elite warriors, numbering in the billions, are merely considered snacks by this demon?!
"Utterly arrogant! Even on the verge of death, they still dare to speak so shamelessly!"
The nameless sword master, the Lord of the Eternal Sword Tomb who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent, could no longer suppress the soaring sword intent in his heart.
He suddenly opened his eyes, and two supreme sword beams, each tens of millions of miles long, shot out from his pupils, tearing through the void!
"Sect Master Li, Brother Ao Cang, why waste words with such a madman?" The Nameless Sword Master slowly stood up, his withered hand resting on the rusty bronze sword on his knee.
"Today, I will use this sword of mine to end his absurd dream of the ultimate path!"
"Clang—!!!!"
Accompanied by an unparalleled sword cry that shook the ages!
The Nameless Sword Master has drawn his sword!
The moment the ancient bronze sword was drawn, the rust on it burst open, revealing an ultimate immortal blade that shone with an extremely dazzling white light, representing the eternal and immortal laws of the [Twelfth Realm - Late Stage]!
Not only that! The nameless sword master's sword strike not only mobilized his own peak source, but also resonated with tens of millions of sword cultivators in the billions of troops below!
Countless sword intents, like rivers flowing into the sea, converged on that eternal bronze sword!
"【Eternal Sword Path - One Sword Severing the Void】!!!"
The nameless sword master let out an ancient roar, and his whole body merged with the bronze immortal sword, transforming into a long rainbow of blazing white sword energy that stretched for hundreds of millions of miles!
This sword strike had no fancy magical phenomena, only an absolute sharpness capable of cleaving the river of time and erasing the concept of space!
"What a brilliant sword strike!!! The swordsman is mighty!!!"
"This is a sword strike at the peak of the late twelfth realm, imbued with the will of millions of sword cultivators! That demon was too arrogant and didn't dodge; he's doomed!!!"
The allied forces, numbering in the billions, erupted in deafening cheers upon witnessing this earth-shattering sword strike. In their eyes, no matter how strong Su Chen was, if he were to try and withstand this sword strike with his bare body, he would surely be cleaved in two!
however.
Faced with such a peerless sword light that even the Celestial Emperor Lingxiao would have to retreat.
Su Chen stood on the bow of the extreme battleship.
He did not draw his sword.
No Dharma form was displayed.
Even the sneer on his face didn't diminish in the slightest.
He simply and casually, as if shooing away a buzzing fly, slowly... raised his left hand.
"Om-!"
A burst of absolutely colorless and transparent [Extreme Void Creation Source Fire] instantly enveloped Su Chen's left palm.
The next moment!
The long, white sword aura, stretching for hundreds of millions of miles and carrying the will of millions of sword cultivators, shattered everything. Like an angry ancient white dragon, it crashed heavily into Su Chen's seemingly ordinary left palm!
"boom------------!!!!!"
The hearts of the billion-strong allied forces leaped into their throats at that moment. They stared intently at the center of the collision, eager to see Su Chen torn apart by the sword energy.
but!
There was no explosion! No stalemate! There was no sign of Su Chen being forced back even half a step!
Under the horrified gazes of billions of living beings in the audience, whose eyes seemed to bulge out of their sockets!
Su Chen's left hand was like a peerless iron clamp that could grasp fate by the throat, steady and unmoving...
He grabbed the edge of the Eternal Bronze Sword, which radiated the sharpness of the late-stage twelfth realm, with his bare hands!
"Hiss hiss hiss—"
The eternal sword energy, powerful enough to shatter the entire world, erupted wildly in Su Chen's palm, yet it couldn't even cut through the thin layer of [Void Demonic Runes] on Su Chen's palm!
On the contrary, the moment those sword energies came into contact with the Void Source Fire, they were like snowflakes falling into a branding iron, emitting a mournful cry, and were instantly forcibly "reset" and erased!
"This...this is impossible!!! How could your physical body possibly withstand my Eternal Ultimate Weapon?!"
The nameless sword master, who had manifested his form, gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands, his face filled with extreme horror as if he had seen a ghost!
He tried desperately to pull the longsword back, but found that the blade seemed to be rooted in Su Chen's hand, and he couldn't budge it at all!
"eternal?"
Su Chen lowered his head slightly, his dark eyes, burning with dark golden demonic flames, staring intently at the nameless sword master who was less than three feet away from him.
His voice was so cold it sent chills down your spine.
"Old man, I already said that."
"You bunch of useless trash, you've been hiding like turtles in the Great Void Sea for too long, you have no idea what true 'high-dimensional power' is!"
Su Chen's lips curled into an extremely cruel smile.
"Take a rusty toothpick and try to stab me?"
"Smash it, you son of a bitch!!!"
"Snap!!!"
With a cold shout from Su Chen, the five fingers of his left hand, which was gripping the sword blade, suddenly clenched inward!
"Bang--------!!!!!"
A crisp, shattering sound that caused the Dao hearts of all the sword cultivators in the Eternal Sword Tomb to collapse resounded throughout the Burial God Starfield!
That supreme immortal sword of the late twelfth realm, which has been passed down through countless eras and is said to be immortal through countless eons, is called the [Eternal Bronze Sword].
Under Su Chen's five fingers!
It was like a fragile piece of dry ice, forcefully... crushed into countless swirling fragments of blue light!
"puff!!!"
His natal weapon was forcibly crushed, and the extreme backlash from his origin was like a heavy hammer slamming into the true spirit of the nameless sword master! He coughed up a mouthful of purplish-gold primordial blood, his aura instantly weakened to the extreme, and he was about to retreat and flee in horror!
"Since you've drawn your sword, you have to leave some toll!"
"Leave your hand here!!!"
How could Su Chen let the easy prey slip away?
His body didn't even move; only his left hand, which had crushed the longsword, shot out like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, completely ignoring the defensive sword circle around the Nameless Sword Master, which had gone berserk due to fear!
"Crack!" "Crack!"
Su Chen's hands, like two iron locks that pierce through dimensions, gripped the Nameless Sword Master's shoulders tightly!
The Extreme Void Demonic Runes instantly sealed off all twelve realm laws of the Sword Master!
"No...no! Sect Master Li, save me!!!" The Nameless Sword Master let out the most shrill and desperate pig-like scream of his life.
however.
Li Jue Tian and Ao Cang, who were far away, were already so terrified by the scene of Su Chen crushing the ultimate weapon with his bare hands that their minds went blank. How could they dare to go forward to help?!
"Tear—!!!!!"
Under the unforgettable, horrified gaze of billions of living beings in the audience!
Su Chen's arm muscles bulged, unleashing an extreme, berserk force powerful enough to rip apart galaxies, and he ripped it outwards with a fierce jerk!
Accompanied by a chilling sound of flesh and bones tearing apart!
The Nameless Sword Master, a supreme expert at the late stage of the twelfth realm renowned throughout the Void, had both arms, along with most of his shoulders, torn off his torso by Su Chen as easily as ripping off a roasted chicken wing! (End of Chapter)
