Chapter 1480 - 1201: Another Sword Severed
Chapter 1480: Chapter 1201: Another Sword Severed
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Cultivators from all directions of the Human Race were all staring intently at Su Yuan, but after a long while, nothing happened.
Everyone was staring wide-eyed and open-mouthed at Su Yuan, as if even the air was about to solidify.
"Royal Envoy Su, this...?"
Just as everyone was in a state of bewilderment and uncertainty, suddenly the Void shook, Spirit Light radiated in all directions, and unexpectedly a Bronze Giant Sword... no, more accurately, a grand and ancient Bronze Tower broke through the Void from the east and roared toward them!
"Buzz...!"
The immense power emanating from the Bronze Tower made many cultivators momentarily breathless.
"What is this...?!"
Cultivators from each sect showed an expression of shock, even the Demon Army high above in the sky felt a tremor in their hearts!
Yet all Sword Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, despite their initial shock, had a look of intense excitement and exhilaration in their eyes!
"It’s the Sword Enlightenment Tower!!"
The Sword Enlightenment Tower of the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, for some unknown reason, had traversed the Void and arrived on the battlefield at this moment!
The ancient bronze hue of the Sword Enlightenment Tower intensified and then vanished into the sky, transforming into a Bronze Iron Sword landing in the raised right hand of Su Yuan...
The rust fell away, the sharpness revealed, and the ancient three-foot-long sword now appeared brand new, displaying a stunningly sharp edge that was shocking to behold!
Su Yuan clenched the longsword tightly with five fingers, and under the empowerment of the Divine Sword, the accumulated Void Divine Intent erupted instantly.
"Divine Absolute, Slash!"
One sword swung out, like a fleeting shadow, with indescribable sword light soaring into the sky, slicing into the escaping Wind Gap of countless demons.
As the sword light passed, no blood was scattered, yet...
"Hmm? What happened??"
"This, this... where’s the Silver Light on my body?"
"Not good!!"
Confronted with such a world-shaking, yet seemingly effortless sword, the Demon Army initially was so stunned that they didn’t even react.
But soon some demons discovered that wherever the sword light passed, the Heavenly Extinction Power surrounding them had dissipated uniformly!
Whether it was a Sun, Moon, and Star Level demon or a powerful King Level Demon Beast, all alike lost the protection of the Absolute Heaven Sword under the Divine Absolute Sword Light, with no longer any barrier between humans and demons.
As the Divine Absolute Sword Light swept across tens of thousands of demons toward the commanders in the back, Tianluo finally stepped forward.
"To have slashed such a sword..."
A dangerous look appeared in Tianluo’s narrowed eyes as he raised the Absolute Heaven Sword, slashing it toward the oncoming Divine Absolute Sword Light.
"Clang clang!!"
The sound of metal clashing suddenly reverberated. After a tremor, the Divine Absolute Sword Light gradually shattered under the Absolute Heaven Sword, unable to affect Tianluo or the few commanders and deputy commanders behind him.
However... it was just these few people!
The remaining tens of thousands of demons, whether King Level or Sun, Moon, and Star Level, all had lost their protection from the Absolute Heaven Sword!
Huang glared at Tianluo with eyes full of brewing fury and shouted, "Tianluo, why didn’t you act sooner?!"
Even Chenyue, and Crow, who knew Tianluo’s nature, couldn’t help but frown.
Without the protection of the Absolute Heaven Sword, and with them leaving, all the remaining demons here were almost certainly doomed.
These were all elite forces directly summoned from the four divisions of the Chaotic Imperial Court and the various Royal Courts under them, high-ranking subordinates of theirs!
"My task was just to bring back you four..." Tianluo smirked indifferently, pointing casually to the deputy commanders Huang Tian and Chi Yuan, "Even saving these few is already quite good."
"You...! You’re going too far!"
Chi Yuan couldn’t help but speak up. Attacking the Blue Sea Star was not just a matter for one group but a grand scheme orchestrated by the Four Great Royal Courts.
Saving more of their own people was naturally the right thing to do; how did it become an act of charity in Tianluo’s words?
Although they had long heard of the fearsome reputation of the Eight Divine Generals of the Order Imperial Court, they shouldn’t be bullied too much!
Huang Tian also stared gloomily at Tianluo; were they merely "incidental"? Unknowingly, the armrest of the royal chair on Huang Tian’s right hand had already been crushed somewhat.
The deputy commander of the Wind Soldier Guard, Silver Scythe, wanted to say something, but was silenced by a glance from Crow.
Tianluo glanced at Huang and Chi Yuan, not saying much more. It was just some ants dying, why make such a fuss about it?
"Good!!"
On Qunyu Mountain, cultivators from various Human Race sects were overjoyed.
Although the strongest few didn’t remain, if they could bury the entire Demon Army of a hundred thousand here, this battle would still count as a great victory!
"Everyone, kill!!"
Without needing more words, sword light burst forth, the Demon Sea surged to the sky, Lou Zhen, Pang Hai, and others took the lead in charging out, and cultivators from every sect soared into the sky to attack the demon army that had lost the protection of the Heavenly Extinction Sword!
"Kill!!"
"Don’t let these demons escape!"
"I must avenge my sect!!"
In an instant, the cries of battle shook the heavens, and the cultivators of the human race’s sects clashed with the remaining demon army.
The originally paused battle, once forcibly suppressed, erupted again with even greater ferocity!
On one side was a hastily retreating, panicked defense, on the other was a victorious pursuit, leading to an almost one-sided situation.
Countless demon limbs fell from the sky, and the demon army suffered heavy casualties at the first encounter, collapsing under the fatal threat as they began to flee desperately deeper into the Wind Gap.
"Commander, save us!"
"Divine General, don’t leave us!"
"No... ah!!"
Accompanied by terrified voices, countless demons fled in disarray towards Tianluo and the others behind them.
"Such a disregard for ranks." Tianluo looked at the swarming demons, coldly laughed and spread his hands, several dazzling silver threads shot explosively from his palms, "Then, just die for this Divine General!"
In an instant, the severed limbs flew, and blood mist filled the sky, the dazzling silver threads slicing through the charging demon beasts into fragments in a mere breath, even the Demon King level could not escape death or injury!
"What?!"
"No, don’t kill me!... Run!"
Faced with such a meat grinder-like purgatory, the demons trying to escape past Tianluo were terribly frightened. Seeing the silver threads killing indiscriminately, they fearfully changed direction to retreat!
Yet Tianluo licked the corner of his mouth, as if even more interested, not only did he not stop, but he drew the Heavenly Extinction Sword and slashed out with one strike.
The dazzling sword light wreaked havoc, tearing even the void into pitch black wherever it passed!
Countless demons instantly met a tragic end, even a Seventh Rank Flame Demon among them, unable to dodge, was shredded to pieces by the sword light with a mere shudder!
The multitude of demons were immediately paralyzed by even greater fear, watching Tianluo wielding the Heavenly Extinction Sword like a mad Death God, and frantically charged towards the various sect cultivators outside the Wind Gap Passage.
"Tianluo, you... you?!"
Chi Yuan stared wide-eyed at Tianluo, as if looking at a madman, too furious to speak!
Although the demon beasts in the Grey Realm primarily follow a hierarchy of survival of the fittest, devoid of much emotion, they would never slaughter low-level demon beasts under their command like Tianluo.
Not to mention, that the Seventh Rank Flame Demon King killed by Tianluo seemed to be intentional.
Huang’s heart also boiled with rage about to burst, but was forcibly held back by Chenyue next to him, who gave him a slight shake of the head.
Putting aside the transcendent status of the Eight Divine Generals of the Order Imperial Court, their own lives are now in Tianluo’s hands.
If he truly went mad and decided to leave someone behind, the punishment after returning would be minor.
And the one left behind... would surely meet their end under the siege of the human cultivators!
With Tianluo’s madness, not only the demons but also the human cultivators of the sects were stunned.
"This guy is ruthless, killing his own like cutting beans~"
Pang Hai smacked his lips, this kind of tactics was no different from evil cultivators and served no good purpose.
"However, we’ll make sure to take full advantage! Kill!!"
Pang Hai raised the Ten Thousand Souls Banner which transformed into an overwhelming Demon Sea, leading over ten thousand demon cultivators to charge.
Lou Zhen and the people of the Divine Sect formed a sword array, jointly crushing their opponents.
The people of the Taishang Sect had also regained some strength, and even the Divine Soul bodies already held considerable combat power, unleashing all kinds of magic and divine powers against the demon army.
True Yang Sect, Qiankun Sect, Blood Slaughter Sect, Limitless Demon Sect... dozens of sects unleashed their full power to crush the demon army with ease.
And Su Yuan, who left the demon army with one sword, after slashing out, the sword transformed from the Sword Enlightenment Tower in his hand soared back into the sky.
"Now comes the final harvesting moment; developing skills still requires quite a bit of Star Dust."
Su Yuan drew the Demon Saber, a silver flash under his feet, he led Demon Soul, Ruan Ruan, and others in a charge...
In mid-air.
Kong Zheng stood in place, watching Tianluo and Xi Xing and the others leave through the Wind Gap up in the sky, then slowly unfolded the Five Elements Five Directions True Light Treasure Fan in his hand.
The originally blue, yellow, red, black, and white Five-colored Treasure Fan flashed with spirit light, now only the white Divine Light representing "Metal" still emitted a brilliant glow.
"Earth, water, fire, wind..."
Kong Zheng’s eyes flickered, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and with a "snap," closed the Treasure Fan.
