125: The Emperor's Seal is unleashed! Ten thousand swords have turned against him!

Crack~!

Solitary in the Leaf's chest bone snapped!

He once again spewed a large mouthful of fresh blood, directly flying backward and heavily crashing before the Heavenly Sword Sect's seats.

Bathed in blood, he looked extremely miserable.

And now! Li Wangchen, who was in the main seat, could no longer sit still!

His face, which had always maintained an elegant smile, instantly turned extremely ugly.

"Brat!!!"

A furious roar, filled with monstrous Killing Intent, erupted from his mouth!

He suddenly stood up from his luxurious throne!

Boom—!!!

A terrifying pressure, far exceeding the Great Perfection Nascent Soul Stage, carrying traces of profound Daorhyme, erupted like a volcanic eruption.

The power of a Half-Step Soul Transformation swept across the entire venue!

The entire Heavenly Sword Peak trembled violently under this pressure!

Countless Cultivators with weaker cultivation turned pale under this pressure, directly collapsing to the ground!

Visibly, Killing Intent burst forth from Li Wangchen's eyes!

He stared intently at the green-robed figure standing with his hands behind his back in the arena.

His voice was like ten thousand years of cold ice!

"Chen Xu! At my Righteous Path Alliance, you have repeatedly struck so heavily, crippling my Righteous Path Prodigies!"

"What exactly are your intentions?!"

He revealed his true intentions, directly pinning a label on Chen Xu: "Could it be that you are a spy sent by the Demonic Path, intending to disrupt my Righteous Path Alliance?!"

Li Wangchen's angry roar directly slapped the enormous label of "Demonic Path spy" onto Chen Xu.

He stood before the luxurious throne, his Aura bursting forth, the pressure of Half-Step Soul Transformation felt substantial, solidifying the air in the entire square.

The next moment, he pointed at Chen Xu, his face filled with grief and indignation.

His voice was like rolling thunder, echoing across Heavenly Sword Peak!

"Fellow Daoists! You all have seen it!"

"Since this person entered my Heavenly Sword Mountain, how eccentric and ruthless have his actions been!"

"First, at the teleportation square, he causelessly crippled Qin Li, a Prodigy of my Sect! When Technique Imparting Elder Qian Feng kindly advised him, he intensified his actions!"

"At today's Alliance, he was even more arrogant! First, he severely injured Fellow Daoist Xiong Shan of Batishan, and later he laid such a vicious hand on Solitary in the Leaf, the hope of my Sect's future!"

Li Wangchen's voice grew increasingly impassioned, he scanned the entire venue, blood vessels seemingly appearing in his eyes.

"He keeps claiming to contend for the position of Alliance Leader, but which of his actions is something the Righteous Path would do?!"

"This is clearly an attempt to use this opportunity to weaken the Righteous Path's strength! To sow discord among us! How malicious is such a heart!"

"I, Li Wangchen, guarantee with the Heavenly Sword Sect's ten-thousand-year reputation that this person must be a spy sent by the Demonic Path to my Righteous Path Alliance! His heart deserves to be punished!"

His words were righteous and impassioned.

Many Elders of Sects originally affiliated with the Heavenly Sword Sect immediately echoed his sentiments.

"Sect Leader Li is absolutely right! This child's methods are ruthless, he is definitely not one of us, the Righteous Path!"

"Exactly! We must apprehend him and interrogate him strictly, perhaps we can uncover a shocking conspiracy of the Demonic Path!"

For a time, the entire square was filled with indignation.

Countless gazes, filled with Killing Intent, all focused on Chen Xu.

The knife was revealed!

This was the Heavenly Sword Sect's true objective!

As Li Wangchen's voice fell, above the Heavenly Sword Sect's seats...

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Over a dozen figures rose simultaneously!

Technique Imparting Elder Qian Feng, Law Enforcement Elder, and more than ten Elders with unfathomable Auras, instantly moved!

Every single one of them was a supreme existence at the Late Nascent Soul Stage or even the Great Perfection Nascent Soul Stage!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Over a dozen terrifying Auras erupted, intertwining into an impenetrable net of pressure.

Instantly enveloping Chen Xu and Murong Zhuyun!

All escape routes were completely sealed in that instant!

Qian Feng's sinister old face was now filled with delight.

He stared intently at Chen Xu, as if he had already seen his miserable end of being pierced by ten thousand swords and having his Divine Soul annihilated!

"Brat! Your death is at hand!"

The beautiful Sect Master of Illusory Sound Immortal Sect's face changed drastically, she was about to speak a word of fairness.

But she met Li Wangchen's cold gaze.

"Everyone!"

Li Wangchen's voice rang out again: "This is my Heavenly Sword Sect cleaning up the Righteous Path, eradicating Demonic Path spies! Please do not interfere!"

He paused, the threat in his voice undisguised.

"Otherwise, you will be an enemy of my Heavenly Sword Sect! And an enemy of the entire Central State Righteous Path!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire square fell into complete silence.

The Huanyin Sect Master's words, which had reached her lips, were forcibly swallowed back.

The few Elders behind her shook their heads at her repeatedly.

The Badao Sect Leader's brows were tightly furrowed, the veins on his hand gripping the saber hilt bulging.

But in the end, he chose silence.

Everyone saw it.

This was a long-premeditated killing trap by the Heavenly Sword Sect!

Whoever dared to step forward now would become the Heavenly Sword Sect's next target for establishing its might!

Murong Zhuyun's pretty face was already pale.

She tightly gripped the ancient sword in her hand, Killing Intent surging out of her body again.

She really couldn't imagine... the Heavenly Sword Sect, which had a Legacy of tens of thousands of years and was known as the leader of the Central State Righteous Path...

Would actually be so shameless!

In front of all Fellow Daoists in Central State, they just tore off their masks like this!

They didn't even bother to put on a show... What kind of Righteous Path Alliance was this?

She subconsciously moved closer to Chen Xu, her beautiful eyes showing no fear, only determination.

Today, even if she died, she would fight alongside her Mister!

Looking at the cold, indifferent, or gloating eyes around him.

Chen Xu's face remained calm.

He even smiled lightly.

That smile was full of mockery and disdain.

"Finally, no more acting?"

The next moment, he spoke faintly, his voice reaching everyone's ears.

Li Wangchen's pupils suddenly constricted!

Even at this point, this man... could still smile?!

A strong sense of unease surged from the bottom of his heart.

He no longer hesitated!

"Form the array!"

An angry roar, like a thunderclap!

Li Wangchen stopped talking nonsense and directly issued the order!

Rumble—!!!

The moment his voice fell, the dozen or so Heavenly Sword Sect Nascent Soul Elders instantly formed the same magical incantation!

At the same time!

The entire Heavenly Sword Peak, along with the surrounding hundred immortal peaks, trembled violently at this moment!

As if an ancient giant beast that had slept for ten thousand years... was slowly awakening from the depths of the earth!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

On the ground of the square, the array patterns that were originally just decorations, at this moment, burst out with dazzling light!

Beams of light shot up into the sky!

Immediately after!

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Heavenly Sword Sect, a hundred peaks chimed in unison!

Tens of thousands of Flying Swords, from Immortal Caves, sword pavillions, and even the mountain bodies of various peaks, shot up into the sky!

The lowest grade of those Flying Swords were Magic Treasures!

Among them, there were not a few Spirit Treasure-level existences!

They gathered in the sky, transforming into a vast and boundless metal storm, obscuring the sun and moon, covering the firmament!

The tip of every Flying Sword was remotely aimed at the lonely green-robed figure in the center of the square!

A peerless Sword Intent, enough to make heaven and earth lose their color and make ghosts and gods tremble, descended with a roar!

Under this terrifying pressure, thousands of Central State powerhouses present all turned pale and their minds trembled violently!

Some with weaker cultivation... were even directly forced to their knees by this Sword Intent, spitting out blood!

"Heavens... Heavens!"

"This... This is the Heavenly Sword Sect's mountain-guarding ultimate killing array!"

"Myriad Swords Returning to the Sect Array!"

Many Central State Righteous Path Cultivators naturally knew the details of this Heavenly Sword Sect!.

For a time, all Cultivators' eyes revealed shock and fear!

It is rumored that this array was left by the Heavenly Sword Sect's founding Ancestral Master.

It is a true ancient killing array!

Once activated, it can mobilize the earth vein Spiritual Qi of the entire Heavenly Sword Sect's thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.

And trigger ten thousand swords to fire simultaneously!

Its power is enough to easily kill a true Soul Transformation Old Ancestor!

For tens of thousands of years, this array has only been activated a few times, and each time it was activated...

It meant that a heaven-shaking enemy was attacking!

Today, in order to deal with a Nascent Soul Cultivator from South Spirit Prefecture, the Heavenly Sword Sect actually... used such a trump card!

The faces of everyone in the entire square were filled with shock!

They looked at the endless sea of swords suspended in the sky.

They only felt their Nascent Souls trembling!

Too terrifying!

As expected of the foundation of the Central State's number one Sect!

In front of such world-destroying power... how insignificant is individual bravery!

That Chen Xu, no matter how strong his Physical Body, no matter how Heaven-Defying his combat power, it was absolutely impossible for him to survive under such an ultimate killing array!

He's dead for sure!

He's really dead for sure!

However, just as the power of the Myriad Swords Returning to the Sect Array climbed to its peak!

An Aura even more terrifying and heart-pounding than this ultimate killing array slowly awakened from the depths of Heavenly Sword Peak!

Tear—!

The space behind Li Wangchen was forcibly torn open by an invisible force.

The next second.

Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes.

A white-haired old woman, hunched over, her face covered in age spots, as if she could enter the earth at any moment, slowly walked over, leaning on an ordinary wooden cane.

The moment she appeared, the entire world seemed to have stilled.

The roaring myriad sword sea instantly quieted.

The terrifying Sword Intent that swept across heaven and earth also instantly receded.

Space, Spiritual Qi... everything seemed to lose its voice before her.

She just stood there quietly, yet she seemed to have become the sole center of this world!

"Old... Old Ancestor!"

"It's Heavenly Sword Ancestor Old Ancestor!"

The moment Li Wangchen saw this old woman, the ferocity and Killing Intent on his face instantly faded!

The next moment, he led all the Elders and Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect and knelt down in unison!

"Welcome Heavenly Sword Ancestor Old Ancestor out of seclusion!"

Shouts like mountains and tsunamis echoed through the sky!

And the powerhouses of other Sects in the square, the moment they clearly saw the old woman, were even more scared out of their wits!

One by one, they were terrified, scrambling to their knees, not even daring to lift their heads!

Heavenly Sword Ancestor!

The true pillar of the Heavenly Sword Sect!

An old monster who had lived for thousands of years!

A living fossil who had already stepped into the Half-Step Soul Transformation Realm a thousand years ago, only one step away from Ascending to the Upper Realm!

No one expected that in order to deal with a Chen Xu, the Heavenly Sword Sect would even invite out this Old Ancestor!

At this moment, Heavenly Sword Ancestor's cloudy eyes slowly opened.

She didn't look at Li Wangchen kneeling on the ground.

Nor did she look at the Central State Cultivators around her who were as silent as cicadas in winter.

Her gaze, from the moment she appeared, was fixed on Chen Xu.

That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate through all ages and see through all illusions.

She scrutinized Chen Xu from head to toe, and in her cloudy eyes, greed and fervor flickered.

The next moment, she slowly spoke: “Junior.”

“Hand over the Immortal Artifact fragment on your body.”

“This Old Woman can give you a quick death.”

There was no mention of Demonic Path spies.

Nor was there any talk of Righteous Path righteousness.

This old monster, who had lived for thousands of years, directly tore off Heavenly Sword Sect’s last fig leaf with her first words.

Exposing their naked greed and ambition before everyone!

What a sham Alliance!

Eliminate spies!

From beginning to end, it was a heaven-shaking killing trap to snatch a treasure!

Hearing this, the Huanyin Sect Master and others, who were kneeling on the ground, felt a chill in their hearts.

Clearly, they had also come to their senses.

Why Heavenly Sword Sect had made such a grand display.

Heaven-Deceiving Secret Art!

They wanted to use the Immortal Artifact fragment on Chen Xu’s body as the key to activate the legendary “Heaven-Deceiving Secret Art”!

To help this Heavenly Sword Ancestor Old Ancestor forcefully Breakthrough that last half-step.

And step into the true Soul Transformation Realm!

At this moment, everyone looked at Chen Xu with sighs in their eyes.

Facing a half-step Soul Transformation Old Ancestor who had lived for ten thousand years.

Facing an ancient killing array capable of slaying a Soul Transformation Cultivator.

This could be said to be a truly inescapable situation, with ten deaths and no life!

...However.

In this deathly silence.

Just as everyone thought Chen Xu would fall into despair!

Chen Xu slowly raised his head.

He looked at the myriad Sword Sea that blotted out the sky, and then at the Heavenly Sword Ancestor, who stood in the sky like a god.

A look of disdain once again appeared on his face.

“Immortal Artifact fragment?”

He murmured in a low voice, as if asking the other party, and as if asking himself.

The next second.

He flipped his palm.

Buzz—!!!

A broken sword tip suddenly appeared in his palm!

The moment it appeared, a supreme Killing Intent capable of tearing apart the Nine Heavens and slaughtering Immortals and gods.

Erupted with a roar!

Ten thousand swords wailed!

Above the firmament, the tens of thousands of Flying Swords, which had originally been overwhelmingly powerful, instantly felt this Aura.

They actually let out cries of fear!

“Want it?”

Chen Xu held the immortal slaying sword tip, which exuded endless fierce might, raised his eyes, looked at Heavenly Sword Ancestor, and the smile on his lips became even more sinister.

“Then... come and get it yourself!”

The moment his voice fell, a very faint golden mark quietly appeared between Chen Xu’s eyebrows.

That mark, when looked at, was extremely profound.

As if carrying the rise and fall of the Human Race through the ages... exuding an indescribable noble Aura.

“Playing the fool!”

High in the sky, Heavenly Sword Ancestor’s wrinkled old face flashed with a hint of disdain.

She had lived for thousands of years, what kind of scene hadn’t she seen?

In her opinion, this was merely Chen Xu’s last struggle, feigning mystery, when he was at his wit’s end.

What could a mere mark change?

Li Wangchen even let out a sneer.

The Killing Intent in his eyes had boiled to the extreme.

He considered himself a half-step Soul Transformation Cultivator, only one step away from that legendary Realm.

He could kill ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivators with a raised hand.

What’s more, at this moment, he controlled the Myriad Swords Returning to the Sect Array, which was capable of slaying true Soul Transformation Cultivators!

He no longer had the patience to waste time with this ant!

“Old Ancestor, there’s no need to waste words with this fiend!”

Li Wangchen bowed respectfully to Heavenly Sword Ancestor, then suddenly raised his hand, pointed at Chen Xu below, and loudly declared: “Kill!!!”

At his command!

Rumble—!!!

The entire Heavenly Sword Sect’s ten-thousand-mile territory went completely berserk at this moment!

The tens of thousands of Flying Swords suspended above the firmament, blotting out the sky, once again erupted with even more dazzling light.

Every Flying Sword hummed frantically, Sword Qi soared into the sky, tearing apart the sea of clouds!

The next second!

Tens of thousands of Flying Swords transformed into a torrent of Sword Qi that spanned heaven and earth!

That torrent was so vast and terrifying, as if it wanted to annihilate everything in this world!

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, space collapsed inch by inch, emitting piercing sounds.

The ground of the plaza on Heavenly Sword Peak’s summit, under the pressure of this deadly Sword Intent, was directly ploughed with ravines.

Thousands of Central State powerhouses present, in the face of this world-destroying might, all turned pale with fright, their livers and guts splitting!

They frantically circulated their Spiritual Qi and activated their protective Magic Treasures, barely able to resist the overflowing aftershocks.

Even so, many Cultivators with slightly weaker cultivation still spat out blood from the terrifying sword pressure, collapsing to the ground, the color instantly draining from their faces.

Too strong!

Too exaggerated!

Just this pressure alone was already unbearable for them.

Murong Zhuyun’s pretty face was pale. She instinctively wanted to stand in front of Chen Xu.

But found that her body moved with such difficulty under that terrifying pressure.

Even with the Azure Luan Bloodline, she was still firmly suppressed by this sword pressure.

She could only watch as that Sword Qi, which seemed to want to annihilate everything, crashed down towards Chen Xu!

However, just as the torrent of Sword Qi was about to engulf Chen Xu.

Just as everyone thought he was certain to die.

The fragment of the human emperor seal that had emerged from his glabella... finally fully manifested!

Buzz—!!!

A majestic Dragon Qi, imbued with the supreme will of heaven and earth, suddenly spread out with Chen Xu as its center!

That was not Spiritual Qi, nor Divine Thought, nor any Law!

That was a kind of absolute authority originating from the Human Race, from the Bloodline ethnic group.

Transcending everything!

It was the Emperor’s decree!

It was the Human Race’s imperial might!

The golden imperial Dragon Qi, like a ripple, seemed slow but was in fact extremely fast.

Instantly swept across the entire Heavenly Sword Peak summit!

Wherever the imperial Dragon Qi passed... the concept of time seemed to disappear.

Even that world-destroying torrent of Sword Qi stopped abruptly in mid-air!

The entire world completely fell silent.

Everyone’s faces still held the expressions from the previous second.

Li Wangchen’s ferocity, Heavenly Sword Ancestor’s disdain, Qian Feng’s schadenfreude, everyone’s shock and pity... all froze on their faces!

Their eyes were wide open, staring intently at the terrifying river of swords suspended in mid-air.

Their minds were blank!

What happened?!

Why... did it stop?!

Immediately after!

To everyone’s disbelief, the tens of thousands of Flying Swords that made up the torrent of Sword Qi... began to tremble in unison!

Clatter, clatter, clatter~!

The clanging sound of metal resounded directly throughout the entire Heavenly Sword Peak!!

“Zheng!”

“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”

As time passed, these sword hums grew louder and louder.

The next second!

Under the gaze of everyone whose eyes were about to pop out.

That torrent of Sword Qi instantly collapsed!

Tens of thousands of Flying Swords instantly lost control!

Completely unable to maintain their formation, like a startled school of fish, they frantically scattered in all directions!

The scene instantly descended into chaos!

“No! This is impossible!”

Li Wangchen’s gleeful smile instantly froze.

Directly transforming into a look of shock and bewilderment.

“My sword! Come back! Come back to me!”

He frantically chanted incantations, trying to regain control of his life-bound Flying Sword.

But it was useless!

Because he discovered that the spiritual connection between him and his life-bound Flying Sword was forcibly severed!

His Flying Sword no longer obeyed his command!

“Pfft—!”

With his spiritual connection forcibly severed, Li Wangchen was struck by lightning, violently spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood.

And not just him!

High in the sky, Heavenly Sword Ancestor’s ancient, unperturbed face showed intense fluctuations for the first time!

Her pupils suddenly constricted at this instant!

“My Heavens-Connecting Sword!”

She also felt that the connection between herself and the Spirit Treasure-grade Flying Sword that had accompanied her for thousands of years.

Was being erased by an irresistible force!

“How could this be?!”

“My Flying Sword! My Flying Sword is out of control!”

The same scene unfolded on all the Elders of Heavenly Sword Sect!

One by one, their faces were pale, spitting blood, as if they had seen a ghost, looking at the Flying Swords that were fleeing in panic, completely unresponsive to their commands.

They were all stunned!

How... how could this be?

How could this happen?

Their mountain-protecting array, which they relied on to dominate Central State and was capable of slaying Soul Transformation Cultivators!

In front of the other party, this was its performance?

It just disintegrated like that?

At this moment, the entire Heavenly Sword Peak summit was utterly silent!

Everyone was dumbfounded!

They all froze in place, looking at the Flying Swords darting chaotically across the sky.

Then they stiffly turned their heads, looking at that green-robed figure.

The shock in their eyes completely overflowed their sockets.

What... what the hell kind of method is this?!

And at this moment, Murong Zhuyun, standing behind Chen Xu, also had eyes full of shock!

This was Chen Xu, Imperial Tutor Chen!

Breaking the Myriad Swords Array with the power of one person!

And in this deathly silence.

Chen Xu slowly raised his eyes.

His eyes swept over the Flying Swords that were fleeing in panic like headless flies, and he smiled coldly.

Then, he slowly raised his other hand, and towards the chaotic sky.

Gently clenched his fist.

Boom—!!!

With his movement!

The tens of thousands of out-of-control Flying Swords actually seemed to hear a command.

Instantly stopped their flight!

They screeched to a halt in mid-air, then all at once turned their sword tips!

The next second!

Under the gaze of all the terrified Heavenly Sword Sect members.

The tens of thousands of Flying Swords, dense and overwhelming, their sword tips... pointed at their original owners!

Pointed at Li Wangchen!

Pointed at Qian Feng!

Pointed at Heavenly Sword Sect’s Elders and Disciples!

Even Heavenly Sword Ancestor’s Spirit Treasure-grade Heavens-Connecting Sword.

Also floated in mid-air, its sword tip remotely locked onto her!

Ten thousand swords turned traitor!

At this moment, the entire Heavenly Sword Peak summit was silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard!

The air seemed to have solidified!

Those Heavenly Sword Sect Disciples who had previously clamored to have Chen Xu torn into ten thousand pieces.

Now all looked ashen, their legs trembling like sieves.

They looked at their life-bound Flying Swords suspended above their heads, ready to fall at any moment.

They only felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet straight to their crown!

At this moment, in their hearts, only one question roared frantically.

What exactly is going on here?
