204: When the sword comes, everything becomes a sword

“Uh… actually, Brother Ji and I aren’t close, and if you have something, go after the person involved. What’s the deal with coming after us?” Yi Tianji expressed that he had something to say.

“I’ll torment you first later.”

“Go to Hell!”

Destruction Laws filled this space, and massive roots intertwined with the Destruction Laws, continuously smashing down on Ji Yi and the two others.

“Devil Points to the World.” Roots straightened, stabbing towards the three of them, like a Devil Emperor pointing to the world.

The Devil controls the mountains and rivers; none dare to disobey. If anyone defies the Devil Emperor’s will, with one point from the Devil Emperor, their entire race is erased from the world. This is the Devil’s tyranny.

Sword shadows appeared from the Void Realm, slightly bowing their sword hilts, paying homage to the Sword Dao Supreme.

“Go!” Ji Yi roared, Sword Qi crisscrossing. Streaks of Sword Qi surged to tens of thousands of meters in size, stabbing towards the root tips. Point against point, the exploding lightning serpents splashed thousands of miles into the sky.

Roots wrapped around Ji Yi and the others, attempting to bind them.

“Swords, come!” Ji Yi’s voice boomed across the sky. All things in heaven and earth were swords in his hand.

The nine suns hanging high in the Desolate Continent's sky shone brightly, their light converging towards the Central Continent Region, leaving mottled bright spots on the ground through the gaps in the roots.

The scorching sunlight condensed into streaks of True Solar Fire Sword Qi. The intense high temperature warped space, and the True Solar Fire Sword Qi enveloped the sky, landing on the roots and igniting them.

With stars appearing in broad daylight, the creatures of the Desolate Continent looked at the shining nine suns and the appearing stars with surprised expressions. What was happening?

The Saints of the Central Continent Region cast their gazes towards the center of the Central Continent Region. There, they felt intense fluctuations of Law.

They stepped onto the teleportation Formation and rushed over, wanting to know what exactly had happened.

Starlight fell, and streaks of Starlight Sword Qi descended, intent on giving the roots a ‘myriad swords piercing the heart’ treatment.

The Void Realm winds howling out from the Void Realm crack also condensed into streaks of biting Sword Qi.

There were also detached Void Realm fragments, uplifted earth, giant trees blown away—everything turned into Sword Qi, stabbing towards the Tongtian Jianmu’s roots.

“What a magnificent ‘All Things Are Swords.’ In terms of Sword Dao cultivation, many Great Saint Sword Cultivators are inferior to you.” The Ancient Demon’s voice showed a slight fluctuation. However, recalling that it was this human who, with a single sword strike, once unleashed a world formed from Sword Dao that crushed his Devil King body, he felt this was only natural.

“Do you need to say it? Who in the world doesn’t know?” Ji Yi said proudly, looking very much like an arrogant person.

“…..” The Ancient Demon was choked into silence for a moment. Given his former Realm, it had been a long time since he had engaged in such a demeaning act as bickering.

Streaks of roots contended with the Sword Qi, then more roots were mobilized to continue binding Ji Yi and the two others.

Yi Tianji’s hand slapped the broken section of the Tongtian Jianmu.

“Formations, come!” Yi Tianji shouted, his voice even louder than Ji Yi’s. Showing off, right? Who couldn’t do that? Yi Tianji thought to himself.

“…..” A brief silence fell on the battlefield. Who would have thought that in this life-and-death battlefield, someone would still have the leisure to compete like this? Ji Yi had fought in so many battlefields, yet this was the first time he had heard the phrase “Formations, come.”

“That silly boy, I’ve changed my mind. I’ll deal with you cleanly and quickly later. I’m afraid your foolishness might be contagious,” the Ancient Demon said.

“Brother Yi, don’t make me laugh. I won’t be able to exert strength,” Ji Yi criticized seriously.

“Hehehe…” Ji Ziyan let out a silver-bell-like laugh. She found Yi Tianji truly amusing.

However, ignoring Yi Tianji’s silly behavior, he did possess strength. After following Ji Yi and mixing in for three years, his strength had already reached the peak Saint Realm, catching up to the first echelon.

Streaks of Formation patterns spread from his palm, and layers of Formation surged, blocking the roots that were wrapping around them.

As for Ji Ziyan, she cleansed this world with Divine Ability. A torrent of Divine Ability flooded an area of ten thousand li, and palm prints, along with Ji Yi’s Sword Qi, descended, pushing back those roots.

“I’d like to see how long you can last?” Although the Ancient Demon was surprised by the strength of Ji Yi and the two others, he didn’t believe Ji Yi and his companions could outlast him. His roots had spread throughout the entire Central Continent Region.

Even though the Heavenly Dao was restricting his absorption from Spiritual Veins, with his enormous root system, even if each root could only absorb a little at every moment, it would accumulate into a vast ocean of Spiritual Qi.

“I’m not better than you in a prolonged battle, but my wife is amazing. With the Earth Gate open, she has infinite energy. Who the Hell can outlast whom?” Ji Yi thought to himself.

“Wife, you’re too amazing,” Ji Yi accidentally blurted out the affectionate term he used in his heart.

“Brother Ji, we haven’t officially become Dao Companions yet,” Ji Ziyan’s face was completely flushed at this moment, her voice as faint as a mosquito’s.

“Ah ha… Soon, soon. When we go back, I’ll go to your house to propose. You can’t escape,” Ji Yi finally reacted.

“Mm…” Ji Ziyan lowered her head and softly responded, a huge sense of happiness welling up in her heart. She had finally waited for this day.

Yi Tianji didn’t expect to be fed dog food in such a situation. What had he done wrong? Why would Heaven punish him like this?

“Brother Ji, you two are really affecting my combat power,” Yi Tianji said, rolling his eyes.

“It’s fine, it’s the same with or without you,” Ji Yi said indifferently.

“You…” Yi Tianji was crying in the toilet. The weak had no human rights, but he was clearly a Prodigy, wasn’t he?

“Is there something wrong with the brains of these Desolate humans? This is a battle, yet they still have the mind to show off and even propose?” the Ancient Demon roared in his heart. Was he the only Devil who was taking this life-and-death battle seriously?

“I’ll send you two to Hell to be a pair of desperate lovers!” the Ancient Demon roared.

Roots as vast as mountain ranges shot into the sky, intertwining in the firmament to form a giant shield, blocking the Sword Qi and Divine Ability that were continuously attacking from all directions.

Furthermore, many roots intertwined to form a figure like an Ancient Demon. Surging Devilish Qi rushed forth, placing even greater pressure on Ji Yi and the others. The Ancient Demon was provoked into even greater fury.

“The roar of a single dog,” Yi Tianji felt the same way. At this moment, he and the Ancient Demon found a spiritual resonance.

“Go to Hell!” The Ancient Demon grew even angrier. He hadn’t expected the news of him being a billion-year-old virgin to have leaked out. He had to silence them.

The tree demon formed by intertwined roots pressed a palm down on Ji Yi and the others. The devil palm, capable of easily shattering a star, shattered space and descended, carrying dense Destruction Laws.

“What’s going on? Why did the World Tree’s roots suddenly appear out of nowhere? Are they here to sunbathe?” The Cultivators who were not far away had already arrived at the scene. The situation before them made large question marks appear in their heads.
