213: Divine Will Breaks the Realm

Before Xiao Zhuo could act, the enlightenment tea tree burst forth with a brilliant green light!

The already astonishingly defensive green light barrier suddenly expanded, actively meeting the attacks of Ximen Feng and the others.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A series of deafening explosions accompanied by dazzling flashes of light erupted.

The light barrier rippled violently, sending out countless waves, yet it remained completely intact.

Ximen Feng, Li Qitian, and the others' expressions instantly turned ashen.

"The enlightenment tea tree actually protects this person? Who exactly is he?" The golden bird on Qiao Shan's shoulder reappeared, its gaze towards Xiao Zhuo filled with undisguised jealousy.

The process of Xiao Zhuo collecting a hundred enlightenment tea leaves was still vivid in their minds; such a divine item was enough to drive even True Immortals mad—who would ever think their Comprehension Ability was too high?

Cao Yunqing's eyes flickered, and he ultimately chose silence. A strong intuition warned him not to become enemies with Xiao Zhuo.

He had already obtained seven tea leaves, enough to significantly enhance his basic Comprehension Ability. Although subsequent tea leaves could still assist in breaking through bottlenecks and achieving Epiphanies, this temptation was not enough for a cautious person like him to provoke the unfathomable Third Holy Son of the Blood Palace.

Outside the light barrier, a group of Prodigies watched covetously.

Xiao Zhuo's lips curved into a cold arc.

He gently stroked the main trunk of the enlightenment tea tree, transmitting his thoughts: "Rest assured and stabilize your Divine Sense; I will handle these people."

After speaking, he took a step forward, and the verdant light barrier parted like water, sending him out.

The myriad leaf blades instantly retracted, transforming back into leaves and returning to the Main Body, and the light barrier rapidly contracted, only protecting the tea tree itself.

With his dark robes fluttering, Xiao Zhuo stood proudly in mid-air.

"Kid! Even if you are a Mahayana, we are not afraid! The Law here is suppressed, and we all have the power to contend with a Mahayana! If you know what's good for you, hand over the enlightenment tea leaves! Otherwise..." Li Qitian was momentarily stunned when Xiao Zhuo appeared voluntarily, then he sneered menacingly.

Before his words even finished!

A pitch-black long saber had already appeared in Xiao Zhuo's hand—the Earth-Grade High Grade divine weapon, Tian Zhan!

His gaze was indifferent, his voice clearly echoing across the entire scene: "Save your breath, come at me all at once!"

"Arrogant!" Li Qitian's eyes blazed with fierce light. With a flick of his fingertip at the white bone lampwick, pale white flames gushed out, forming a thirty-foot-tall hideous skull, enveloping Xiao Zhuo with an eerie Death Qi!

Before the white flame skull even arrived, a hint of disdain flashed in Xiao Zhuo's eyes.

Tian Zhan was lightly raised, and a sharp Saber Qi, intertwined with terrifying dark-gold lightning, red on the inside and black on the outside, was fiercely unleashed!

Swoosh—Boom!

The Saber Qi cut through the white flame skull like a hot knife through butter, instantly splitting it in two and shattering it with a boom! Its momentum undiminished, it cleaved directly towards Li Qitian!

Li Qitian's expression drastically changed! This white bone divine flame was emitted by an ancient treasure of the Soul Palace, possessing unparalleled power, requiring even ordinary Mahayana cultivators to handle it with caution, yet it was broken by a casual saber strike from the opponent? Such strength was unheard of!

Without time to think, the red and black Saber Qi was already upon him! He roared, "myriad souls bell!"

Buzz!

A light gray small bell shot out like lightning, expanding against the wind, transforming into a thirty-foot giant bell that firmly enveloped him!

Ancient runes flowed on the bell's surface, condensing a thick, heavy gray barrier.

Clang—!

The Saber Qi fiercely struck the barrier! The barrier immediately cracked open, and the residual power of the Saber Qi struck the bell body, emitting a dull, massive thud!

Dong—!

The bell's chime, like a wave, swept across the entire scene! The terrifying vibrational force pierced directly into their Divine Souls, causing many Prodigies below to change color and stop to protect their minds.

The sound of this ancient bell could actually shake the Divine Soul!

"Heh, Prodigies indeed have many treasures." The smile in Xiao Zhuo's eyes deepened. This strike was enough to prove that this bell's quality was even superior to the ancient white bone lamp!

His offensive did not stop for a moment. He took a step, and space rippled slightly as his figure appeared like a phantom beside the giant bell! Tian Zhan cut through the air, delivering a powerful, heavy horizontal slash!

Li Qitian's Divine Sense captured Xiao Zhuo's approach, and his heart was slightly startled, but confident in the myriad souls bell's unparalleled defense, he immediately frantically channeled his magical power into the bell body.

Clang!

The barrier that had just condensed outside the bell instantly shattered!

Clang—!

The Main Body of Tian Zhan fiercely struck the bell wall, sending sparks flying, but only leaving a shallow white mark, and the bell's chime resounded again!

"What a tough shell! This bell, I want it!" Xiao Zhuo, instead of being angry, laughed, his saber strikes like a furious storm! Streaks of saber light, intertwined with red and black lightning, continuously bombarded the myriad souls bell!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang—!

The dense, drum-like bell chimes echoed throughout the Enlightenment Abyss! The invisible bell waves raged wildly, and the Prodigies below could no longer stay afloat, retreating in horror.

Only top figures like Nether Bone, Ximen Feng, Qiao Shan, and Chaoyun were still able to watch the battle intently from a distance, but none of them stepped forward to engage.

Xiao Zhuo's saber speed became faster and faster! His afterimages overlapped!

Inside the bell, Li Qitian was drenched in sweat, his face pale.

Although the myriad souls bell was powerful, he had not fully refined it.

The continuous slashes reverberated through the bell body, and although most of it was vented by the bell waves, a small portion continuously impacted his internal organs and Divine Soul.

The frequency of the bell body's vibrations became higher and higher!

Buzz—!

Finally, the bell body suddenly vibrated, and a deep, dark light suddenly erupted! Within a hundred zhang radius, ghostly Qi permeated, and cold winds howled furiously! Li Qitian's Nether Soul Domain instantly erupted!

Over a hundred powerful ghostly souls instantly appeared, the lowest being Late Stage Body Integration, with five ferocious Ghost Kings emitting Undergoing Tribulation fluctuations leading them, all screaming as they pounced towards Xiao Zhuo!

Xiao Zhuo's lips curved. He completely ignored the ghostly souls rushing towards him, instead, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Perfect, time to try out new methods!"

Just as the torrent of ghostly souls rushed within thirty feet of Xiao Zhuo!

He moved!

Tian Zhan pointed to the sky! A terrifying aura of world-destroying power suddenly erupted from his body! Dark-gold lightning patterns instantly covered his entire body, converging frantically towards the pitch-black blade!

A vast Concept, one that judged all things and ended everything, descended with a roar—it was precisely the Thunder Tribulation Saber Intent, which had already achieved Divine Intent!

The saber fell!

Silently!

Only a dark-gold saber shadow, condensed to the extreme, seemingly slow but actually fast, silently cut down!

Crack—!

The hundreds of zhang wide netherworld Domain shattered like fragile glass, instantly covered in clear cracks, then exploded!

The hundred or so ferocious ghostly souls that had pounced, like ice and snow exposed to the scorching sun, vanished and dissipated silently before they could even let out a scream!

Li Qitian froze in mid-air, a straight bloodline slowly splitting open on his forehead, revealing a faint light.

He stared intently at Xiao Zhuo, his eyes filled with incredulous shock and bewilderment, as he painstakingly squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "Is... this... a... Concept...?"

Xiao Zhuo remained silent. Under the gaze of countless shocked eyes, he took a step, already beside Li Qitian.

With a sweep of his sleeve, the hovering myriad souls bell and the falling ancient white bone lamp instantly disappeared.

His expression was indifferent as he watched Li Qitian's body split in two from the crack in his forehead, falling into the abyss.

With a slight hook of his finger, a bone ring on the corpse's left hand also fell into his palm.

Having completed all this, Xiao Zhuo stood in the air, his dark robes fluttering without wind.

He slowly scanned the Prodigies in the distance, who wore expressions of fear and alarm, as if facing a formidable enemy. The characteristic smile, seemingly devoid of any killing intent, once again curved his lips: "I told you! All of you! Come at me together!"
