Chapter 611 - Hopeless
Chapter 611 Chapter 611 – Hopeless
Feeling Song Qingruo’s gaze and seeing her weak appearance, Xiao Han couldn’t bear it any longer and subconsciously wanted to turn around. Hence, he looked ahead, at the center of the formation, and watched nervously.
As expected, the smoke and dust had dissipated, and Huo Changliu’s figure appeared, still intact. He was standing on top of the altar. His face was pale as well. He seemed to be panting, looking a little weak.
However, a crimson longsword in his hand attracted a lot of attention. Crimson blood dripped from the longsword. It looked like the blood of gods and demons. It had a strange magical power that moved one’s soul.
On the Sword of Buddha, a terrifying and suffocating aura spread out continuously. It rippled in all directions and affected everything in the area. It even distorted the surrounding Gen Qi flows and forcefully opened up a brand-new sword domain.
With just a glance, one could feel the power and might of the Sword of Buddha.
Watching this scene, the strange emotions in Xiao Han’s heart quickly disappeared. It was replaced by thick fear and solemnity. He knew that the danger was far from being solved.
With the power of the Sword of Buddha, there was nothing he could do to stop it.
“It’s really dangerous…”
A cold voice came from the front. Huo Changliu held the Sword of Buddha and slowly raised his head. His cold gaze was fixed on Xiao Han. “Just a little bit more…
“Just a little bit more, and you will die under my hands…”
“Xiao Han… you’re really… impudent!”
Every word that came out of his mouth was filled with a bone-piercing chill. The killing intent seemed to pierce through the nine heavens, making one shudder.
Before this, no matter what kind of situation he was facing, Huo Changliu had always been amicable. He maintained his demeanor and did not lose his manners in the slightest.
However, even he could no longer maintain his calm at this moment. Dense killing intent rose in his heart as if it wanted to pierce through the nine heavens and slaughter everything in front of him.
He raised his head and looked forward. He raised the Sword of Buddha in his hand high up and moved forward.
Bang!
An unrivaled majesty spread out. In Huo Changliu’s hand, the Crimson Sword of Buddha emitted a brilliant light. The power within it was displayed, illuminating the land in all directions.
In front of him, the attack condensed from the World Stone was terrifying. However, under the might of the Sword of Buddha, Huo Changliu was unfazed and untouched.
A terrifying aura spread out, spreading in all directions.
Rumble!
Enormous power was displayed. Within it was the manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth. One could even faintly see a Demon God standing there, roaring towards all directions, suppressing all directions.
Bang!
The surrounding Gen Qi tides began to dissipate. The power condensed from the World Stone actually could not block the might of the Sword of Buddha and was directly dispersed by it.
This scene caused Xiao Han’s expression to change drastically.
“How is this possible!”
He looked at the scattered Sword Tomb power and felt the power of the Sword of Buddha from it. He could not believe it.
Was the power of the Earth Heavenly Weapon so powerful?
Logically speaking, even if the Earth Heavenly Weapon was extremely powerful, it should not be able to unleash such terrifying power when no one was controlling it.
Huo Changliu in front of him was only in the Spirit Transformation Stage. How could he control the Sword of Buddha to such an extent? This should not be possible.
At this moment, various thoughts flashed through Xiao Han’s mind. He could not believe it. In the distance, Chen Heng shook his head. He understood the reason behind this.
As a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, Huo Changliu was indeed unable to unleash the power of the Sword of Buddha fully. There was still some leeway.
But at the same time, Xiao Han himself was also only a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator.
So while Huo Changliu was unable to unleash the power of the Sword of Buddha fully, the same could be applied to that Xiao Han mobilizing the power of the Sword Tomb.
Xiao Han’s power was too weak. When faced with the power of the Sword Tomb that was gathered from the World Stone, he couldn’t unleash it fully.
Although the power gathered from the World Stone was powerful, it was too scattered. It was simply unable to condense into a single point. As a result, it was easily destroyed by the power of the Sword of Buddha.
This was one of the reasons. For the second reason, it was because of Huo Changliu himself. Perhaps Xiao Han could not see it from within, but Chen Heng could see it.
Huo Changliu himself was not his original body but just an incarnation. Perhaps his current cultivation level was the same as Xiao Han’s at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage. However, this was most likely because he deliberately suppressed it to enter the Sword Tomb.
His true power was likely far beyond the Spirit Transformation Stage and had reached a higher level. As such, the situation was very clear. Even if their cultivation levels were at the same level, they couldn’t use their power the same way.
In terms of controlling the power of the Heavenly Weapons, Huo Changliu was much stronger than Xiao Han. The situation was already very obvious at this point.
Whether in terms of strength and cultivation accumulation, Xiao Han was at an absolute disadvantage.
The World Stone in his hand still had strength, and he could once again condense a powerful strength. However, the power of the Sword Tomb was not unlimited.
Xiao Han’s strength was also limited. While he could keep using the World Stone again, the attack he would unleash would probably become weaker and weaker.
On the other hand, Huo Changliu’s side would be able to display more and more strength as the grinding with the Sword of Buddha became smoother. The gap between the two seemed to be very obvious at this moment.
However, Chen Heng still did not move. He was observing the Destiny on Xiao Han’s body. He could see that the Destiny on his body was still stable and did not show any signs of turbulence.
This meant that Xiao Han still had a trump card on him. He would not die here just like that. This made Chen Heng curious.
What else could Xiao Han do to distort the situation in front of him in such a situation? He was curious and continued to observe.
Swish…
A crisp sound was heard. A sword domain spread out from Huo Changliu’s body on the altar in front of him. Then, it quickly spread out and covered a few square miles.
As the sword domain expanded, it also covered Xiao Han and Song Qingruo’s figures. It dispelled the power of the Sword Tomb in the outside world and isolated them from all influences.
“Too bad for you…”
Feeling the expansion of the sword domain, Huo Changliu’s slightly pale face recovered its colors once again. He regained his calmness and looked at Xiao Han in front of him. A cold smile appeared on his face. “It seems that your trump card didn’t kill me.
“If that’s all you have, just lie here obediently and prepare to die. “Being able to die under the Sword of Buddha isn’t a waste of your time.”
His gaze was fixed on Xiao Han, and his words were filled with thick killing intent. To Huo Changliu, Xiao Han before him was a disaster.
They had racked their brains and spent hundreds of years setting up this plan to completely activate the Sword of Buddha and condense it once again. But now, they had no choice but to stop halfway through the ceremony. This meant that they had wasted more than half of the preparations in advance, and they could not do everything in one go.
Although this was not irreparable, they would have to spend time and material resources to achieve the previous effect. And this was supposed to be done today.
Just thinking about this made Huo Changliu unable to hold back his killing intent. He couldn’t help but want to kill Xiao Han directly and dismember him.
Fortunately, even though the ritual was only halfway through, the Sword of Buddha was still completed. It wasn’t a waste of time. Otherwise, it would have been a terrible day.
Not only was the Sword of Buddha unable to be completed, but even the incomplete sword would also have to be left here.
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind. Huo Changliu’s expression was cold as he slowly walked forward.
At this moment, he had already made up his mind. He had to kill Xiao Han here. Even if it were a corpse, he would not let it go. He had to throw it into the array formation in front of him and turn it into firewood to refine the Sword of Buddha.
Only then would he be able to resolve the hatred in his heart. However, looking at the situation before him, things did not develop as he had imagined.
In front of them, both Xiao Han and Song Qingruo felt immense pressure as they watched Huo Changliu walk toward them step by step. In Xiao Han’s arms, Song Qingruo struggled to get up as she faced Huo Changliu. Although her expression was weak, her eyes were still clear and sharp like swords.
“If you have any other ideas, just do it as soon as possible…”
She took a deep breath and struggled to speak, “I’ll try my best to buy you some time.
“If you have any other secrets, use them quickly.
“Otherwise… I’m afraid we’ll die together here today…”
A cold voice sounded from her. Although she was already weak, she was still as cold as ever. However, the concern in her voice could still be felt.
“Senior Song, don’t worry…” Xiao Han took a deep breath and said, “Neither of us will die here today…”
“You’re boasting shamelessly…”
In front, Huo Changliu couldn’t help but sneer when he heard Xiao Han’s words. “In this situation, what can the two of you do under the Sword of Buddha?”
“The Sword of Buddha is indeed powerful. Even among the Earth Heavenly Weapons, it is probably among the best…” Xiao Han stood where he was and looked at the crimson Sword of Buddha in Huo Changliu’s hand. At this moment, he could not help but exclaim, “But…”
“Even if it is among the best among the Earth Heavenly Weapons, it is not invincible!”
“Oh?”
Huo Changliu sneered and could not help but pause, “So, you have a Heavenly Weapon that is better than the Sword of Buddha?
“If so, I would like to broaden my horizons.”
He sneered and mocked.
The Sword of Buddha was an Earth Heavenly Weapon, and even among Earth Heavenly Weapons, it was the most powerful one. Its attack was unparalleled. If it could be pushed to its peak, it could even fend off a Heavenly Venerate.
Such an existence was rare in the whole world. Except for a few legendary Heavenly Weapons, almost no one dared to claim victory.
Even a large sect like the Qionghua Sword Sect only had one Heavenly Weapon.
