Chapter 2127: A Frosted Sword Chills Fourteen Provinces
Chapter 2127: Chapter 2127: A Frosted Sword Chills Fourteen Provinces
"What is the Horror Swordsman doing in the Nine Provinces?"
"I always feel that he has some unknown secrets that must be explored and prevented in advance."
"With our cultivation level, can we prevent it?"
"Uh... you have a point."
Many people were discussing this.
Some cultivators tried to stop the Horror Swordsman but soon realized that they, as mere Dao Monarchs, couldn’t withstand even a single gaze of Sword Qi from the Horror Swordsman.
Going to stop him was simply courting death.
"The Horror Swordsman stopped at the peak of the Divine Sword Peak in the western part of Youzhou and no longer advanced. Could it be that he is waiting for the Grand Dao Venerables of Tianzhou and Shenzhou to deliver themselves to him?"
Someone speculated this way.
"Who knows? But it would be best if he stays on the Divine Sword Peak; that way, we won’t be in danger."
"You have a point."
Others were also discussing this.
Many shared the same thought, all hoping that the Horror Swordsman wouldn’t move.
But, days later.
"I am the Sword Maniac, who dares to battle me at the same level?"
This day, the Horror Swordsman took the initiative to speak. His hoarse voice, aided by the rules of heaven and earth, resonated within the fourteen continents on both sides of the Heavenly Sword Sea, including Qingzhou, Haizhou, Yunzhou, and Liangzhou, accompanied by sword light.
This scene was shocking.
"A single sword chills fourteen continents!"
Someone exclaimed in astonishment, and indeed, the cultivators living on these fourteen continents felt a chill down their spines and a coldness throughout because of the Horror Swordsman’s shout.
"What a Horror Swordsman!"
In the purple mist at the junction of Qingzhou, Haizhou, and Yunzhou, a deep voice was heard, but the speaker did not reveal themselves to stop anything.
"Venerable, why don’t you take action?"
A purple-robed Dao Monarch asked.
The mysterious figure said, "This time, the Horror Clan is not very strong; there is no need for me to take action."
Haizhou, Misty Holy Sect.
Ye Feng finally left seclusion and learned from the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree what was needed for the fourth transformation.
However, he also heard the voice of the Horror Swordsman.
At that moment, his mind trembled violently.
It felt as if something was calling him.
"Is it an illusion?" Ye Feng muttered, always feeling that the Horror Swordsman appearing this time was waiting for someone, and that person seemed to be... himself?!
"Is the old man’s dream related to me?"
Ye Feng couldn’t help but think along this line, but the Horror Swordsman was a Grand Dao Venerable, clearly not someone he could resist, so he shook his head and let it go.
An hour later.
Spirit Turtle Island Main Peak.
Ye Feng looked at the hundreds of Heavenly Venerable level sect members in front of him and said, "In the coming period, you will go to various locations across the Nine Provinces to train. It would be best to defeat the young talents or veteran experts of various major forces to promote the might of our Misty Holy Sect. Meanwhile, collect these items."
Saying this, he released a list.
It was a list of over thirteen hundred types of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, at least at the Heavenly Venerable level, with the strongest items reaching the Dao Monarch level, valued at tens of billions of Origin Stones.
These were the various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures needed for the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree’s fourth transformation.
In fact, the required items totaled over three thousand kinds.
But Ye Feng had gathered more than half by himself.
The remaining ones needed to be collected by the disciples.
"Yes."
The disciples, including Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, Li Jiaojiao, and Shi Lei, swiftly set off for the Teleportation Array of the Flying Heavenly Holy City with a certain amount of Origin Stones.
Half a day later.
Hundreds of Heavenly Venerables from the Misty Holy Sect had already dispersed to the various regions of the Nine Provinces, searching for materials and challenging those young talents or veteran experts of the same level.
Without exception, all sect members achieved complete victory!
In a short period, the sect’s Prestige Value skyrocketed, which delighted Ye Feng, holding down the fort in the rear.
"When enough Prestige Points reach ten trillion, the sub-mission two of the Sect Leader’s tenth stage task can be completed. After that, only task three will remain."
Ye Feng thought to himself.
...
Western Youzhou, Divine Sword Peak.
The Horror Swordsman looked in the direction of Haizhou.
The Nine Provinces region was circular, with the far west being the current location of Youzhou, to the east were Tianzhou and Shenzhou, further east were Lingzhou, Yunzhou, and Jingzhou, and even further east were Huizhou, Haizhou, and Qingzhou.
It could be said that Youzhou was in the western part of the Nine Provinces region, while Haizhou was in the east.
This was considered a gaze across the east and west.
The distance between the two places was very far.
The span in between could reach two or three continents, larger than crossing the Heavenly Sword Sea from Liangzhou.
"Still not coming? Since that’s the case, I’ll have to attract you... after all, I don’t have much time left."
The Horror Swordsman murmured to himself.
In the next moment, thousands of beams of light appeared on his body, transforming into countless semi-transparent figures, all carrying longswords, exuding intense Sword Intent, with varying levels of cultivation, heading to different places to kill.
"A battle at the same level, life or death!"
The Horror Swordsman issued a voice again.
These words caused faces to change dramatically.
Without waiting for anyone to react, in an ancient holy city in Youzhou, several Horror Swordsmen with One-Turn Heavenly Venerable cultivation appeared, each targeting a person.
"Why me?" A young talent roared in anger.
"You are a young talent, I want to fight you!"
As soon as the words fell, this Horror Swordsman at the One-Turn Heavenly Venerable level charged out and engaged the young talent in a battle of life and death in the sky.
But, after several rounds.
"Ah!"
With a tragic cry, this young talent, whose combat power was several times that of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme, had his head severed by a Horror Swordsman’s avatar, his Divine Soul extinguished.
He was dead!
The other young talents also engaged in life-and-death battles with the Horror Swordsman’s avatars, but even though their combat power was several times that of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme, they were still slain, instilling panic in the city’s people.
"Damn it!"
"The main target of this Horror Clan is to kill our young talents."
"Quickly, strike, kill him!"
In the ancient city, a Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable strongman roared, flipping his hand to condense a Jingguang Seal to smash those Horror Swordsman avatars with only One-Turn Heavenly Venerable cultivation.
Yet, the Jingguang Seal passed through them.
Those Horror Swordsman avatars seemed not to be in this time-space, unable to be attacked.
They looked coldly at the Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable.
"Dare to hinder a battle of the same level, die!"
In the next moment, behind the four One-Turn Heavenly Venerable Horror Swordsman avatars, a vortex appeared, from which a sharp semi-transparent longsword emerged.
With just a single blow, the Four-Turn Heavenly Venerable turned to ashes.
The people of the Holy City faced Doomsday.
In other powerful holy cities.
There were successive appearances of the Horror Swordsman avatars challenging those young talents with the same cultivation level, but most of the young talents couldn’t withstand a few moves before being killed.
High-level cultivators tried to eliminate the Horror Swordsman’s avatars, but they were remotely killed by the Horror Swordsman’s body, causing expressions to change in fear.
After that, no one dared to obstruct battles of the same level again.
Fortunately, there were also monstrous talents in the Nine Provinces.
On the peak of a barren mountain.
A certain youth roared three times, with a bright knife light mark appearing between his brows. Wielding a blade with both hands, using combat power over twenty times that of an Ordinary Invincible Supreme, he fought the Horror Swordsman avatar, covered in blood, ultimately winning.
The avatar of the Horror Swordsman collapsed on the spot.
Elsewhere, good news also spread.
Many monstrous cultivators took action; some were One-Turn Heavenly Venerables, some were Four-Turn Heavenly Venerables, and some were Eighth-Turn Heavenly Venerables.
In any case, they were all at the Heavenly Venerable level.
They were very brave, with some even sacrificing their lives to desperately destroy the avatar of the Horror Swordsman.
Youzhou, Divine Sword Peak.
Someone observing from afar was surprised to find that as many avatars were killed, the aura on the Horror Swordsman’s true body began to decline.
This matter was exciting.
"Killing the avatars of the Horror Swordsman can weaken the true body of the Horror Swordsman. Esteemed monstrous ones, it’s time for you to render your service to the Nine Provinces."
A Grand Dao Venerable issued a sonorous call.
Following this, another Grand Dao Venerable established a special ranking, allowing any outstanding monstrous cultivators who killed the avatars of the Horror Swordsman to go to Tianzhou to claim rewards.
Or, to be accepted as disciples under Dao Venerables or Grand Dao Venerables.
On Shenzhou’s side, the Grand Dao Venerables also began to express their stance, which ignited the talents from all over the Nine Provinces, much like injecting them with adrenaline, as they all flooded into Youzhou to hunt the avatars of the Horror Swordsman.
As time passed.
The avatars of the Horror Swordsman gradually spread throughout the entire Nine Provinces, with even hundreds appearing in Haizhou.
On the peak of a high mountain.
Mo Ying wielded her longsword and in an instant slashed hundreds of sword lights, tearing the avatar of the Horror Swordsman to pieces.
"Hiss!"
"Look, that’s Disciple Mo Ying of the Misty Holy Sect, she killed the avatar of the Horror Swordsman with just one move!"
"What a top-tier monstrous talent!"
Elsewhere, Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, Brother Flathead, Li Jiaojiao, Hu Feifei, Gong Qingqiu, Li Zilong, Forgetful Love Immortal Emperor, and other sect members, also bearing the flag of the Misty Holy Sect, hunted the avatars of the Horror Swordsman.
"Members of the Misty Holy Sect have seemingly already killed several hundred avatars of the Horror Swordsman!"
"Is this sect really that strong?"
"Heavens, several hundred monstrous-level members!"
Youzhou, Tianzhou, Shenzhou... Even the western part of the Heavenly Sword Sea and other major continents like Liangzhou, noticed this matter.
"What kind of power is the Misty Holy Sect, to be able to cultivate hundreds of monstrous talents that can defeat their enemies across levels?"
People marveled in shock.
Up to now, everyone understood clearly that each avatar of the Horror Swordsman had roughly ten times the combat power of an ordinary Invincible Supreme Venerable.
To kill them at the same level, one must have ten times or even higher combat power, otherwise, it would be challenging to win.
Yet, within the Misty Holy Sect, the number of members who could defeat enemies across levels exceeded several hundred!
Even the Grand Dao Venerables showed great interest.
"Send people to Haizhou to see how the Misty Holy Sect’s mountain gate is; I want to see how this power manages to cultivate so many monstrous talents."
A Grand Dao Venerable from Shenzhou instructed.
"Yes." A Dao Monarch set out, quickly reaching Haizhou but despite searching for a long time, even entering the Blood Sea of the Blood Moon Clan to inquire, did not understand where the Misty Holy Sect was located.
Chaotic Dao Sect.
This Dao Monarch arrived here and said: "I hear your Chaotic Dao Sect has a good relationship with the Misty Holy Sect; quickly take me to the Misty Holy Sect’s mountain gate."
"I don’t know where it is." Zhou Jian shook his head.
He wouldn’t betray his allies.
"Do you want to die?" The Dao Monarch scolded, "Behind me is a Grand Dao Venerable."
Zhou Jian pointed to the great forest in the center of Haizhou.
"That pinnacle existence has always lived secluded in the great forest and sits in Haizhou. Do your Grand Dao Venerables and Dao Venerables dare to act recklessly over here in Haizhou?"
Upon hearing this, the Dao Monarch’s expression changed.
Previously, a Grand Dao Venerable had recklessly entered the region of Haizhou, only to be killed by a single breath from that pinnacle existence of the Cosmic Sea.
Since then, no one had dared to run wild in Haizhou.
Dao Venerables and above especially did not dare easily enter Haizhou’s territory, worried about being erased by the Invincible Old Man.
"You just wait!"
The Dao Monarch snorted coldly and left Haizhou.
Other top hegemonic powers also sent people into Haizhou, but none could find the address of the Misty Holy Sect.
With no choice, they could only withdraw.
Youzhou.
The tens of thousands of avatars of the Horror Swordsman had been reduced to just a few thousand, but they had also killed a full hundred thousand geniuses, causing a sense of dread in discussions.
On the summit of Divine Sword Peak.
The figure of the Horror Swordsman had faded considerably.
The mighty sword aura also declined significantly.
"Haha, very good, once the tens of thousands of avatars of the Horror Swordsman are dead, his realm might not even be able to maintain at the Grand Dao Venerable level. At that time, we can kill him."
Some Grand Dao Venerable sneered coldly.
Many Grand Dao Venerables from the fourteen continents of the east and west coasts of the Heavenly Sword Sea also arrived in Youzhou, watching the Horror Swordsman from a distance, their eyes full of icy killing intent.
Misty Holy Sect.
Ye Feng gazed at the sect prestige value panel.
During this period, sect members continuously hunted avatars of the Horror Swordsman, killing over eight thousand in total, gaining fame across the Nine Provinces and beyond, skyrocketing the sect prestige value.
[Prestige Points: 627 Trillion]
The current prestige value had already doubled compared to a previous period, which delighted Ye Feng.
However, his gaze was somewhat cold.
In recent times, due to Misty Holy Sect members slaying a large number of Horror Swordsman avatars, they caught the attention of major forces in the Nine Provinces, with some people even targeting the Misty Holy Sect members, even sending people to besiege them.
This made Ye Feng very angry.
"One day, I will surely destroy you all!"
Ye Feng muttered.
Whoosh whoosh!
Several figures arrived nearby, placing more than a dozen Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the table. These were the materials needed for the Fourth Transformation of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.
"Sect Leader, glad to report success."
Mo Ying cupped her hands.
Ye Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "Well done, during this period, did you encounter any danger?"
"Yes." Mo Ying nodded, "When we were in Youzhou, we were ambushed, but we escaped using the teleportation talisman you provided, and weren’t captured."
"That’s good." Ye Feng sighed in relief.
Teleportation talisman is a one-time consumable item.
Once crushed, one can directly enter the Chaos Triple Realm Universe, and through the Door of the Outer Realm, directly arrive at the Spirit Turtle Island of the Origin Pool Sea.
"Sect Leader, should we go out again?"
Ji Ziling asked nearby.
Ye Feng said, "Since you all have teleportation talismans, even if held by Grand Dao Venerable, a thought can allow you to escape smoothly, so you may go."
"Okay."
The disciples set out on their journey once more.
They entered the Chaos Triple Realm Universe, went through the Door of the Outer Realm to reach Yunzhou, and then used the teleportation array there to go to Youzhou, Qingzhou, and other continents, with no one able to trace the Misty Holy Sect’s base location.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.
The tens of thousands of avatars of the Horror Swordsman were completely eradicated, leaving his true body very weak, merely retaining the early Grand Dao Venerable level cultivation.
"Haha, the opportunity is here!"
"Attack!"
From the fourteen continents of the east and west coasts of the Heavenly Sword Sea, dozens of Grand Dao Venerables arrived, swarming in, carrying terrible pressure, and besieging the Horror Swordsman.
An earth-shattering battle broke out in an instant!
