80: A straight blade takes a life, a reverse blade suppresses a soul.

“Amitabha, the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back and reach the shore. If Emperor Xuan Your Majesty can see through this Mortal World's illusion, order his army to retreat, and never again invade the Nineteen Domains, perhaps he can still leave today.”

The Abbot of Buddha Temple held his Zen staff, his body radiating golden light, a compassionate visage of a celestial being.

Behind him, ancient monks from Buddha Temple, with long and deep breaths, sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, like ancient Buddhas, purifying the chilling Evil Qi between heaven and earth.

“Why waste words with him? Today, we’ve brought out all our resources; if we don’t kill him, it’s inexcusable.”

Blade Without Dao sneered.

Sword Cultivators from Sword Cliff rarely emerged, with Blade Cultivators holding the reins of power.

In this battle, he had gathered more than half of the Dharma Aspect Realm Elders from the Blade Sect around him, including five Divine Dharma Aspect Realm Grand Elders.

“You tyrannical ruler, what have you done to my son? If you don’t restore him to normal, this Sect will turn you into a medicinal puppet!”

Pill King of Pill Cloud Sect gritted his teeth.

Pill Cloud Sect itself didn't have many Advanced Cultivators, but recently, many old monsters had emerged, and they had recruited many powerhouses.

At this moment, they were all participating in this first battle to establish their prestige after the Immortal Sect emerged.

“Who gave you the guts?”

Lü Lingqi, clad in armor, stepped out of the imperial carriage, her demeanor heroic and her Aura profound.

In these four months, she had also Advanced to the Divine Dharma Aspect tenth Realm.

“Myriad Desires Palace will advance and retreat with Your Majesty!”

Grand Elder Yin Shishi of Myriad Desires Palace came to Xia Xuan’s side.

Although all the Elders from Myriad Desires Palace who hadn't been to Bronze Sparrow Terrace found Xia Xuan detestable, they did not waver on fundamental matters of principle.

“Heh, Myriad Desires Palace is full of pretentious fellows; it should have been destroyed long ago!”

Blade Without Dao scoffed. Before his words finished, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, swift as lightning, and he drew the ancient broken blade from his waist, directly slashing towards Xia Xuan.

As long as Xuan Emperor died, all would be settled!

The blade light was dazzling, cutting through the night, many times more terrifying than the previous strike.

After Blade Without Dao unleashed this strike, his entire Realm regressed, his face pale, and the broken blade's body shattered another segment.

Between heaven and earth, it was as if a God Slaying Dao deity was swinging a blade, causing all weapons to tremble.

The blade light was like the moon, and the Qianlong River reflected its cold gleam.

“Good, let them see the Legacy of our Immortal Sect!”

The five Grand Elders of Artifact Refining Sect jointly manipulated a nine-story pagoda. Golden Divine radiance bloomed, indiscriminately suppressing the Void Realm.

Everyone was pushed down significantly, less than ten meters from the ground.

Within the core coverage of the nine-story pagoda, thousands of armored soldiers exploded into a bloody mist with a 'bang', leaving no bones behind.

“Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, ferry this benefactor to the West!”

The Abbot of Buddha Temple held a golden alms bowl, and a Vajra sarira emerged, absorbing the Buddha light from all the monks, illuminating the Qianlong River.

Wherever the Buddha light reached, some Ghost Soldiers let out heart-wrenching screams, turning into ashes and dissipating.

Faintly visible, a ' swastika' character radiating immeasurable Buddha light blasted towards the imperial carriage.

The three parties' moves were their strongest means: their Sect's Divine Artifact!

Lü Qiling’s face was like frost, her Aura raised to its Peak, and the square halberd in her hand trembled.

A halberd strike spanned the sky, directly meeting the blade light.

Grand Elder Yin Shishi of Myriad Desires Palace lightly pinched her fingers, and an ice-blue mirror appeared before her.

A biting cold burst forth, and a beam of ice light shot into the sky, countering the Artifact Refining Sect's nine-story pagoda.

Directly in front of the imperial carriage, Yuan Tiangang and Heavenly Dark Star joined forces. One's profound art was ultimately rigid and yang, the other's ultimately yin and evil.

Golden and dark Dragons intertwined, stirring the Wu Dynasty's national destiny, mutually canceling out the immeasurable Buddha light.

“Xuan Emperor has hidden so many Divine Dharma Aspect Peak Realm loyal subordinates; his intentions are truly damnable!”

The people of the Immortal Sect became even more determined to resolve this once and for all.

The Imperial Dynasty's strength was too great, posing a huge threat to the Immortal Sect.

They were detached from worldly affairs, ignoring mortal laws, while the Imperial Dynasty emphasized the supremacy of imperial power, with everything having to submit to it.

Before the Origin Qi tide, even the most prosperous Sun Moon Imperial Dynasty on the continent displayed strength that hovered at the bottom line of the various Sects, never exposing trump cards like battle flags or Divine Dharma Aspect Realm experts.

Only the scroll world, unknown to the outside, allowed Shangguan Yue to fully enjoy a match.

“Boom!”

Above the firmament, the blade light shattered, and the terrifying collision sound was like a thunderclap. The aftermath swept powerfully, stirring up hundred-meter-high white waves in the Qianlong River.

Lü Qiling fell back beside the imperial carriage, her hair ornament shattered, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, her arm trembling slightly, blood dripping.

“If you can block the first blade, can you block the second and third?”

Blade Without Dao handed the broken blade to the other Grand Elders beside him and closed his eyes to regulate his breath.

Three people changed in succession, and three blade lights arrived one after another. Their power seemed to stack, each wave stronger than the last, terrifyingly absolute, causing everyone present to feel a skin-tearing pain.

Lü Qiling, with a resolve to die, was about to meet the blade light again.

The human emperor dharma body appeared, and a colossal hand reached out to seize the three layered blade lights.

“Boom!!!”

The violent tremor was like heaven and earth collapsing, deafening.

The battle of the army below paused for a moment. Many people's internal organs were shaken, and the aftermath knocked down a large area.

Xia Xuan turned his hand and looked at his palm; a crimson wound appeared, vaguely throbbing with pain.

This was the first time he had been injured since he condensed his human emperor dharma body.

“The Great Wu Dynasty also has a Divine Artifact!?”

Blade Without Dao suddenly opened his eyes, filled with horror.

The Wu Dynasty had only been in Legacy for less than two thousand years; how could it compare to an Immortal Sect?

“Or… is this his own strength?”

Blade Without Dao watched as the colossal hand continuously suppressed the Divine Artifacts of Artifact Refining Sect and Buddha Temple, his mind in chaos, looking around.

“Where are the people from Killing Life Hall? Why haven’t they made a move yet!”

“Never mind them, Xia Ying, quick, have your dead soldiers come over first, bring the Soul Sacrificing Yin Thunder, and blow up the imperial carriage!”

The people of Artifact Refining Sect roared. Several of their Elders took out black orbs, fist-sized, with purple and flame patterns, from their spatial treasures.

Behind Xia Ying, streaks of strong wind flashed. Emotionless dark guards took the Soul Sacrificing Yin Thunder and instantly died.

Their bones and blood transformed into soul Origin Qi, merging into the Yin Thunder.

Whoosh!

Dozens of Soul Sacrificing Yin Thunderbolts shot towards the imperial carriage. Their speed was so fast that even Divine Dharma Aspect Realm experts found it difficult to track them.

Xia Xuan raised his hand, intending to suppress them, but it triggered a fierce explosion, corroding bones and harming souls, blasting open the colossal hand of the Human Emperor's Golden Body.

“Your Majesty, be careful! This is a forbidden item of the Artifact Refining Sect; the stacked Yin Thunder's power can increase by more than a hundredfold!” General Yue Changting, fighting fiercely, heard the explosion and roared upwards.

“Pill King, add some fuel to the fire!”

Blade Without Dao looked towards the Pill Cloud Sect's direction.

Pill King nodded lightly and took out a jade cauldron. Its lid flew open, and a cluster of flames emitting a dreamy, Lapis Lazuli Fire color slowly burned.

He pointed a finger, and the Lapis Lazuli Fire flew out, meeting with the second, massive wave of Soul Sacrificing Yin Thunder.

“Your Majesty, retreat!”

Yin Shishi redirected the ice beam from her Ice Mirror towards the Lapis Lazuli Fire, but it melted instantly, unable to prevent the two from converging.

Xia Xuan’s gaze was deep, his black-gold Dragon-patterned imperial robe billowed.

The human emperor dharma body broke through the spirit-nullifying Domain, carrying Yuan Tiangang, Yin Shishi, and others, instantly flying a thousand meters into the sky.

“Boom!!!”

The terrifying explosion caused even Bai Qi's God of Slaughter Domain in the distance to emit abnormal fluctuations.

The scorching white Lapis Lazuli Fire light engulfed heaven and earth.

The figures of countless armored soldiers were annihilated into ashes in the explosion.

The riverbank collapsed, and giant waves surged, engulfing the fighting army.

The Artifact Refining Sect erected a pre-prepared spiritual light shield to dissipate the flames. Even so, many powerhouses among the Immortal Sect suffered internal injuries.

Blade Without Dao's face was pained, his head buzzing, yet he stared intently upwards.

Seeing that several Divine Dharma Aspect Realm experts were spitting blood, in poor condition, and entangled by the Lapis Lazuli Fire and Yin Fire, he immediately showed joy.

“Good, two more times, blow them to death!”

“Those cowardly Killing Life Hall bastards, fishing in troubled waters, still watching and not acting! We must settle accounts with them afterward!”

The people of the four Immortal Sects exerted immense effort, but Killing Life Hall was nowhere to be seen, making them extremely indignant.

“Grand Elder, are you looking for me?”

Hall Master of Life-Killing Hall appeared behind Blade Without Dao like a ghost, asking in a low whisper close to his ear.

“Killing Life Hall's Blood Slaughter is said to be able to assassinate Divine Dharma Aspect Realm experts, what are you still waiting for?” Blade Without Dao was startled and trembled. Turning his head, he confirmed it was Hall Master of Life-Killing Hall, then questioned him sharply.

“Waiting for you…”

The true blade claims life, the reverse blade suppresses the soul.

A black sword slashed, and Blade Without Dao suddenly felt the world spin. His headless corpse gushed blood like a pillar.

“Net of the World's Black and White Xuan Jian is late in coming to Your Majesty’s aid, please forgive me.”

Hall Master of Life-Killing Hall bowed slightly to Xia Xuan above the firmament.

At the same time, heads flew into the sky one after another.

Three thousand assassins from Net of the World surrounded them.
