536: Severely injuring the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, press the attack!

[The next second!]

[In the pupil of the Weird Eyeball, countless distorted figures were reflected, as if billions of living beings were wailing inside.]

[Sword Thirteen and the others turned deathly pale.]

["It's over..."]

[Immediately after, a terrifying Weird aura began to permeate the Immortal Sword Manor.]

[The Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor's movements became sluggish; his Creation Qi was actually being corroded by the aura emanating from the Weird Eyeball, sizzling loudly.]

[Sword Eleven, likewise, knelt on the ground in despair.]

[In the face of such absolute power, any resistance seemed utterly ridiculous.]

[Sword Two gripped the broken sword in his hand, his voice hoarse.]

["I haven't avenged Revered Master yet, I'm unwilling to accept this!"]

[The eyes of the other few people were also filled with despair and unwillingness.]

[You stared intently at the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor in mid-air.]

[He was currently laughing maniacally up at the sky, his hands raised high, as if welcoming the arrival of some great existence.]

[But you noticed that the small sword mark on his glabella was vibrating faster and faster, and the bluish-purple color on his face was deepening.]

["There's a chance!"]

[A flash of inspiration struck you.]

["Thirteenth Senior Brother!"]

[You abruptly turned your head to look at them.]

["You are all Personal Disciples of Senior Jian Lingtian. You should have the Sword Intent Legacy he left behind within your bodies, right?"]

[Sword Thirteen was stunned.]

["That's right, Revered Master planted a wisp of Origin Sword Intent in each of us back then, but it was only meant for protection, it fundamentally..."]

["That's enough!"]

[You interrupted him.]

["Right now, immediately, everyone fully activate the Sword Intent in your bodies! Don't hold anything back!"]

["But..."]

["Stop talking nonsense!"]

[Your gaze was sharp.]

["Nine Heavens forcibly devoured your Revered Master's Dao Fruit, but he cannot completely refine it."]

["The Sword Intent in your bodies shares the same Origin as the Dao Fruit. If you erupt together, you can trigger resonance and make the Dao Fruit backlash against him!"]

[Sword Two's pupils contracted.]

["You mean..."]

[Immediately after.]

[Sword Thirteen and the others exchanged glances, and the despair in their eyes instantly transformed into frenzied resolve.]

["Alright!"]

["Even if we have to risk our lives, we must make this beast pay the price!"]

[The next second, twelve figures simultaneously sat cross-legged and summoned their Natal Immortal Swords.]

[Buzz—]

[A wisp of extremely pure Sword Intent shot up from within their bodies.]

[That was the Origin Sword Qi left behind by Jian Lingtian during his lifetime. Although weak, it carried an unyielding pride.]

[The twelve wisps of Sword Intent intertwined in the air, gradually condensing into the phantom image of a colossal sword.]

["This is... Revered Master's sword?!"]

[Sword Two's eyes instantly welled up.]

[The outline of that sword was precisely the treasured sword Jian Lingtian used during his lifetime—Immortal Slayer.]

[Mid-air, the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor, who was casting a spell, suddenly changed expression.]

["This is bad!"]

[The small sword mark on his glabella trembled wildly, and an intense pain erupted from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.]

["Ah—!"]

[The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor let out a miserable scream, and his entire body plummeted from the sky.]

[Inside him, Jian Lingtian's Dao Fruit sensed the twelve wisps of same-Origin Sword Intent and actually began operating autonomously, fiercely assaulting Nine Heavens' Sea of Consciousness.]

["Damn it! Damn it!"]

[The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor bled from all seven orifices, desperately trying to suppress the turmoil within his body.]

[But the Dao Fruit was like it had come alive, rampaging wildly inside him.]

["Now is the time!"]

[The Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor seized the opportunity and slammed out a palm strike.]

["Creation Heaven-Opening Palm!"]

[Boom!]

[The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor was solidly struck by this palm, sending him flying backward and smashing through several mountain peaks.]

["We succeeded!"]

[Wild ecstasy flashed in the eyes of Sword Two and the others.]

[A moment later!]

[The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor staggered up from the ruins, half his body a bloody mess.]

[The small sword mark on his glabella was mostly dimmed, but the Weird Eyeball slowly rotated behind him, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.]

["Chase him!"]

[Sword Two raised his sword and was about to charge forward.]

["Wait!"]

[You reached out and stopped him.]

[Sword Two turned back, his eyes full of confusion.]

["Revered Master's enemy is right there, why not chase him?"]

[You stared at the Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor's retreating figure, your expression solemn.]

["Didn't you notice? That eyeball is still by his side."]

[The Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor also stopped, saying in a deep voice.]

["Young Friend Su is right. Nine Heavens is currently bait. If we chase after him, we'll fall right into that Weird Entity's trap."]

[As soon as he finished speaking.]

[The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor suddenly turned around, a strange smile appearing on his face.]

["Hahaha... you think you won?"]

[His voice became hoarse and distorted, as if two people were speaking simultaneously.]

["Jian Lingtian's Dao Fruit... I can't refine it temporarily, but it can!"]

["Once I completely achieve Fusion with this power, all of you... will die!"]

[After speaking, his figure flashed, turning into a streak of blood light and vanishing into the horizon.]

[The Weird Eyeball also disappeared with him.]

[Sword Thirteen gnashed his teeth.]

["Damn it!"]

[You frowned slightly.]

[It seems this matter is far more complicated than imagined.]

[The Nine Heavens Immortal Emperor obtained the power of the Eerie Clan, making his strength greater than anticipated.]

[The crisis was temporarily over.]

[You scanned the surroundings. The Immortal Sword Manor had been battered into a sieve, with ruins and broken walls everywhere.]

[Although Sword Thirteen and the others saved their lives, they were all injured and pale-faced.]

["Senior Brothers, come back to the Sacred Heaven Sect with me first."]

["It's no longer safe here. Since Nine Heavens dared to make such a threat, he will definitely return."]

[Sword Two hesitated for a moment.]

["But the Manor..."]

["As long as the green hills remain, there will be firewood."]

[You looked at him.]

["We will definitely avenge Senior Jian Lingtian, but not now."]

[Sword Two remained silent for a moment, finally nodding.]

["Alright."]

[A few days later!]

[Sacred Heaven Sect, Main Hall.]

[The Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor personally arranged accommodation for Sword Thirteen and the others, and ordered people to bring healing Medicinal Pills.]

["Rest assured, everyone. In my Sacred Heaven Sect, that fellow Nine Heavens wouldn't dare to easily trespass."]

[Sword Thirteen cupped his fist.]

["Many thanks, Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor."]

["You are too kind."]

[The Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor waved his hand, then looked at you.]

["Although Nine Heavens isn't dead, he is currently severely wounded. This is the best opportunity for us to strike against the Eerie Clan!"]

["If we don't press the attack now and eliminate them, once Nine Heavens recovers from his injuries, we will lose this chance forever!"]

[After hearing the Saint Heaven Immortal Emperor's analysis, you also knew this was the best opportunity.]

[Once missed, there wouldn't be such a good opportunity within the next fifty years.]

[However, you didn't know why you felt that rushing things like this would lead to trouble.]

[No matter how you thought about it, you couldn't figure out where the problem lay.]
