689: Chapter 689 Thousand Star Sword Formation, the Swords Arrive

The giant blood-colored whale beast flew into a rage, carrying the sky-full of Bright Sun Heavenly Light as it plummeted from the sky, like an asteroid colliding with the Earth.

The immense invisible pressure caused the sea level of the Yin-Yang Archipelago to drop by dozens of meters overall, revealing countless deep black reefs.

"Sigh!"

"Why bother?"

Following a soft sigh from Liu Xuan, a five-colored Primordial Sword Qi soared into the sky from the center of the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram.

Liu Xuan fused with Jiang Xingwan's Divine Soul and magic power, and with the aid of the Yin-Yang Great Formation, the five-colored Primordial Sword Qi grew larger and larger, instantly forming a pillar of light that reached the heavens, colliding head-on with the blood-colored whale.

"Hum~"

The five-colored Primordial Sword Qi began to disintegrate when it touched the Bright Sun Heavenly Light in front of the blood-colored whale; it barely touched the blood mist outside its main body before dissolving completely.

"Boom!!"

A giant 'wing' condensed within the ocean formed by the blood-colored mist slashed across the middle of the sword light like a long blade, instantly annihilating it.

The blood-colored whale slammed into the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram formed by the Yin-Yang Great Formation, causing the entire Yin-Yang Archipelago to tremble slightly as if from an earthquake.

"Is that it?"

Old Ancestor Hehuan had seen the earth-shattering power of the five-colored Primordial Sword Qi earlier and thought it was some kind of finishing move, so he had withdrawn fifty percent of his demon power to defend his main body. He hadn't expected that Liu Xuan's sword strike was merely flashy; the level of Law it actually contained was very low, shattering at the slightest touch.

However, this sword strike of Liu Xuan's was strange. Although the level of Law it contained was very low, it could trigger a terrifying amount of Spiritual Qi. Although it was easily shattered by him, it had reduced his offensive momentum to a certain extent.

Sword Cultivator! Known as the number one in killing power under the heavens. Old Ancestor Hehuan mocked him with his words, but in his heart, he was suspicious and did not rush to forcefully attack the Great Formation.

"The cultivation level is still too low!"

Liu Xuan ignored Old Ancestor Hehuan's mockery and sighed with a frown.

Cultivation level determines the Divine Soul level, and the Divine Soul level determines the level of Law mastery. Liu Xuan possessed terrifying power by borrowing external forces, but he was ultimately not a Spirit Transformation Dao Lord; he could only compensate for quality with quantity, and he was naturally at a disadvantage.

'No matter! As long as the quantity is large enough, it is not impossible to compensate for the quality.'

The corners of Liu Xuan's mouth curled up slightly. He raised his hand and pressed it downward, giving a low shout: "Sword, come!"

"Hum~"

"Hum~"

"Hum~"

...

The hearts of countless Sword Cultivators across the entire Yin-Yang Archipelago suddenly trembled, and their natal flying swords flew out of their bodies uncontrollably.

Countless Flying Swords lit up with points of starlight, turning into a torrent of Flying Swords that gathered around Liu Xuan.

With the heavenly origin sword as the center, the torrent of Flying Swords filling the sky formed a massive sword array, and the terrifying Sword Qi tore the surrounding space into gray-black cracks.

Thousand Star Sword Array!

With the development of industrialized Artifact Refining at the Liu Family Artifact Refining Workshop, thousand star flying swords were mass-produced.

Because they could be directly refined as a natal flying sword, the thousand star flying sword was the best-selling of all standard Magical Artifacts.

Throughout the entire Southern Border Beast Taming Sect and the Joyous Union Sect, as long as one had Spirit Stones, most people—whether they were Sword Cultivators or not—would acquire one to refine. Compared to ordinary Magical Artifacts, a natal flying sword had an extremely high cost-performance ratio.

There was a backdoor left on all thousand star flying swords, allowing Liu Xuan to forcefully take over control of the Flying Swords. In order to sell the thousand star flying swords at a good price, Liu Xuan had never used this method, but today he could not care about that anymore.

"This sword array is named Thousand Star; please appraise it, Old Ancestor!"

Liu Xuan pointed his sword finger forward, and the massive Thousand Star Sword Array surrounding him suppressed the blood-colored whale that Old Ancestor Hehuan had transformed into.

"Hum hum~"

The piercing sound of swords ringing was dense and continuous. Because the number of Flying Swords was simply too great, the Thousand Star Sword Array had long since surpassed its original level, reaching a terrifying Realm.

Old Ancestor Hehuan dared not be careless. He did not know that Liu Xuan had left backdoors on these thousand star flying swords; he only thought that he was a peerless Sword Cultivator whose Sword Dao had reached divinity.

Being able to forcefully seize so many Flying Swords to form a sword array, the power seemed more than ten times stronger than the five-colored Primordial Sword Qi from earlier.

"Boom~~"

The sword array tore through the Bright Sun Heavenly Light and smashed through the ocean condensed from blood mist. The sharp Sword Qi bombarded the main body of the blood-colored whale, stirring the sea of blood into a turmoil.

At the same time, the firmament turned completely gray, and countless purple thunderbolts poured down like a rainstorm.

The sword array, the sea of blood, the Bright Sun Heavenly Light, the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram, the purple thunder punishment... the entire Yin-Yang Archipelago was in chaos, resembling an apocalyptic scene.

Liu Xuan withdrew his sword finger, and the torrent of Flying Swords returned to circle around him. "Old Ancestor, if we continue to fight, you will suffer damage to your Origin!"

Old Ancestor Hehuan contracted and condensed the sea of blood and Bright Sun Heavenly Light around him, his Divine Sense looking at the dense, tiny wounds on his demon body.

After a moment of silence, Old Ancestor Hehuan's rough voice rang out, his tone filled with admiration. "To be able to injure this seat, you do indeed have some strength. The Heavenly Dao Laws of the East Sea are complete; if we continue to fight, even if this seat wins, it will be a pyrrhic victory—both sides will be heavily injured!"

"Logically speaking, this seat should retreat now and plan slowly, but..."

Old Ancestor Hehuan's scarlet eyes stared at Liu Xuan below, and he said slowly: "Your Divine Soul Aura is waning. I wonder how many more times you can use such a sword move?"

"You can try!" Liu Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he said indifferently.

"Hahaha!"

"Let's try then!"

Old Ancestor Hehuan let out a burst of laughter. Liu Xuan's state was very wrong; it was very likely a bluff.

"Roar~~"

The blood-colored whale let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and a massive pressure spread in all directions.

This pressure was not just pure Aura, but genuine Divine Soul pressure and Bloodline pressure, which could greatly suppress an opponent's combat power.

"This seat will give you a chance. If you can take three full-strength moves from me without damage, I will spare you all today!"

The blood-colored whale opened its huge mouth, and the entire sea of blood and the Bright Sun Heavenly Light fused together, also transforming into an abyssal maw.

The huge mouth bit down towards the Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram, and a massive suction force emanated from the vortex in the center of the mouth, tearing at the power of the Yin-Yang Great Formation.

Liu Xuan swung his sword again, and the Thousand Star Sword Array, carrying the power to destroy everything, collided with that swallowing force.

"Boom~~~"

The blood-colored vortex was shattered by the Sword Qi by half, the sea of blood churned endlessly, and the purple thunder rain filling the sky became a bit more violent.

Having failed to hit with one strike, Old Ancestor Hehuan suddenly laughed out loud. "Hahaha, you really are bluffing!"

The power of this sword strike from Liu Xuan was at least thirty percent weaker than the previous one, and his Aura was clearly chaotic; even the operation of the Yin-Yang Great Formation's Taiji Yin-Yang Diagram began to show obvious sluggishness.

Old Ancestor Hehuan had already confirmed that Liu Xuan's Divine Soul level was actually very low; that power from just now was merely a forced eruption and had no staying power at all.

This child was extraordinary. Just as Caixuan Daoist Lord Song Yurao had said, he likely harbored a great secret. Even if he had to sacrifice some Origin, he had to take down Liu Xuan today!

Liu Xuan frowned and shook his head slightly, which was dizzy from excessive Divine Soul consumption, but his eyes were excessively bright.

He whispered to himself: "Why must you seek death? Why must you force me?!"

As Liu Xuan's eyes turned into vertical pupils, human emotions vanished, and a terrifying Vicious Beast Aura surged from his body.

At the same time, the space Teleportation Array in the Liangyi Hall below suddenly activated, and a person who looked exactly like Liu Xuan walked out from the array platform.

"Bang~"

He exploded with a bang, turning into a mist of blood. Within the blood mist was a mass of black and white Qi that was dense to the extreme.
