Chapter 2017: 834, fight to the death, you’re not worthy yet_2
“Is that… Confucian Dao?” someone frowned.
Confucian Dao practically had no means to fight back in this kind of strife.
The power of Confucian Dao needed to borrow the power of heaven and earth for oneself, and its means of struggle were very limited.
They were more inclined to cultivate in quiet and engage in leisurely discussions.
In the Contend of Ten Thousand Realms, those who fight are beings with Heaven Ascension methods, all engaged in fierce battles. Who would give you time to slowly gather the power of heaven and earth?
“Confucian Dao, impossible—”
The person speaking hadn’t finished when they suddenly widened their eyes in shock.
In front of them, the shadow behind Xu Zhi solidified in one step.
How is this possible!
“Origin!”
“He has assimilated an entire city’s Origin into himself!”
“This madman, how dare he contain so much Origin within his body? Isn’t he afraid of his body collapsing?”
In the void, exclamations rang out one after another.
Xu Zhi, regardless, kept moving forward step by step.
“With all things as swords, they can condense into myriad spirits.”
“With human hearts as swords, then minds can connect, and I alone am invincible.”
He waved his ink brush in his hand, sprinkling trails of illusory brilliance.
The giant figure behind him raised a hand.
Above the sky, the Eight Desolations Sword Formation vibrated and reconverged into a huge sword of a hundred thousand fathoms, which was then grasped by the shadow behind Xu Zhi with difficulty.
The shadow could not bear the weight of the sword, trembling continuously, as if it would collapse in the next instant.
“Bond of unity.” Xu Zhi called out loudly.
“Bond of unity—”
Beneath, countless sword cultivators echoed the shout.
Their blood essence transformed into battle armor, their souls condensed into golden bodies.
The Battle Armor Golden Body rushed into Xu Zhi’s giant shadow, filling it, solidifying it into an enormous golden-armored general wearing blood-colored armor.
The giant sword in his hand swept across horizontally.
With such a sword, no one dared to look directly at it.
The long dragon of Heavenly Demonic Beasts above the sky was shattered by one sword, and the scattered Heavenly Demonic Beasts outside Nine Mysteries City were also shattered by the blow.
Just one strike, and the attack of the Heavenly Demonic Beasts collapsed.
The scattered Heavenly Demonic Beasts fled in panic.
Their deep-seated fear of powerful forces caused them to flee.
In midair, everyone watched this scene, speechless.
If any of them had acted just now, their bodies would probably be no different from those Heavenly Demonic Beasts, completely shattered.
Xu Zhi had been waiting, waiting for them to make a move.
This guy, so cunning.
Everyone looked at Xu Zhi, their expressions filled with deep wariness.
This guy chose to put himself in a place of death to seek life, acting only for the results.
“Hum—”
As the Heavenly Demonic Beasts fled, countless Heavenly Beads fell from the void like rain, heading towards Nine Mysteries City.
The rising Origin within the city quickly solidified into Heavenly Beads.
At least third-grade valuable Heavenly Beads, each one capable of enhancing the cultivation of Immortal Lords and those in the Immortal Venerable realm.
Taking these Heavenly Beads out of the Myriad Domains Battleground, each one was valuable enough to be the foundation of one’s own faction.
Now, they could only watch helplessly as the people of Nine Mysteries City were about to collect these beads.
Are they willing to let this happen?
But even if they were unwilling, who would dare to snatch them?
Who has the capability to snatch from that consolidated giant golden body?
“Kill—”
In the void, a loud shout suddenly erupted.
A middle-aged man in a brocaded robe stepped forward with a thousand-fathom saber light slashing down in his hand.
Behind the middle-aged man, countless cultivators with auras of murderous intent and spiritual light condensed into a roaring Black Tiger Demon, crashing towards the giant shadow above Nine Mysteries City.
Which major power was this, making a move!
“It’s the people of Yukun Heavenly Palace!”
“Heavenly List number thirty-two, the elites of the Yukun Universe.”
Some people in the distant sky recognized the identity of the one making the move, and their faces changed dramatically.
Yukun Heavenly Palace was a powerful force on the Heavenly List, occupying the Third-Rank Continent Domain of the past. Their move now signified the beginning of the invasion from the Upper Third-Rank Domain.
The other forces could now only follow and drink soup, the chance to eat meat was impossible.
“Boom—”
The Golden Body Longsword struck out, colliding with the Black Tiger Demon.
Following the Black Tiger Demon, cultivators raised their hands in unison, scattering a Golden Light Scale Net that enveloped the entire Nine Mysteries City.
“This is one of the supreme treasures from the Yukun Universe, famed as the Cloud Jade Sky Net that can trap heaven and earth.”
“It has a nickname, called ‘Catching All in One Net’.”
“As long as this treasure envelops you, in the end, you will dissolve into origin power.”
The person who spoke in the void conveyed a sense of terror through their words.
A net capturing everything at once.
This statement made the surrounding onlookers and those waiting for an opportunity to retreat instinctively.
“Everyone, join us in refining this monument, and out of the city’s widespread origin power, my Yukun Heavenly Palace will only take eighty percent.”
The leader who was radiating immortal light, with a cultivation at the mid-stage of Immortal Venerate, laughed heartily as his gaze swept over the crowd.
Below, the net had already shattered the Confucian Golden Body, and Xu Zhi could only barely maintain it by channeling the power of the sword cultivators in the city into a circular formation.
This was the absolute difference in strength.
Nine Mysteries City was also a force on the Heavenly List, but compared to the Yukun Heavenly Palace, the gap was too large.
Or rather, the power difference between the factions in the Upper Third-Rank Domain and those that had risen was simply not on the same level.
Originally, the Upper Third Grade had been drawn by various top powerhouses, who then gained access to top resources, and the struggle for cultivation and combat strength was incredibly harsh.
The fact that they could become a force on the Heavenly List meant that their strength was pushed to the extreme.
At this moment, a significant treasure, a major force, was directly pressing down on Nine Mysteries City, which had just defeated the army of Heavenly Demonic Beasts.
If the sword cultivators of Nine Mysteries City were given time to collect the Heavenly Beads and convert them into their own strength, the outcome in the future would be uncertain.
But now, Nine Mysteries City only faced being refined.
The words of the leader from the Yukun Heavenly Palace tempted many cultivators around him to try their luck.
By taking action, they could benefit.
Why not join in such a favorable fight?
Just to get a share of the soup.
“Hum—”
Just then, between heaven and earth, a thunderous rumble sounded.
The rumbling came wave after wave like a tide, with its sound sweeping across heaven and earth.
A dazzling arrow, piercing through countless spaces, shot straight towards the cultivators of the Yukun Heavenly Palace.
This arrow had no other force on it, only a purity of the power of qi and blood to the extreme.
With pure strength, the arrow shot from beyond the endless void.
“Defense—”
The elites of the Yukun Heavenly Palace changed expressions. The leading Han yelled out as a colossal jade cauldron shadow converged, blocking the path of the golden long arrow.
As the long arrow collided with the cauldron, their impact made the land within tens of thousands of miles tremble, like a wheat field swept by the wind, shaking countless cultivators off their feet.
The aftereffects of a single strike were this powerful!
“Roar—”
In the far distance beyond heaven and earth, the figure of a giant divine elephant emerged, and atop its head stood a fair-faced young man with a double-edged longbow in hand.
This bow was strikingly made from two inverted longswords joined together, and now its bowstring was slowly drawn into a full moon.
A golden long arrow condensed, with its golden Flowing Light shimmering atop.
That previous arrow had been launched by him.
“Nine Mysteries City, Xiang Lingshuang is here, who dares to battle—”
The young man shouted loudly, his voice reaching the clouds.
The strong one from Nine Mysteries City!
The divine light emanating from him clearly showed that he had reached the peak of Immortal Venerate, truly one of the top warriors among divine beasts.
“No wonder, so Nine Mysteries City has such a top-tier divine beast powerhouse,” someone in the void suddenly realized, murmuring softly.
The sword array of Nine Mysteries City was strong, as was the newly returned Xu Zhi, but their individual strength had not yet reached a level that could truly suppress everything.
Only Xiang Lingshuang, who had just arrived, truly had the power to suppress.
“Hum—”
“Boom—”
Xiang Lingshuang in his hands, the bow released another arrow.
This longsword instantly shattered the void in front of him and then condensed into a long arrow tens, hundreds of thousands of fathoms long.
The long arrow tore through heaven and earth, reappearing above the disciples of the Yukun Heavenly Palace.
A golden cauldron flew out, once again colliding with the long arrow.
This time, the golden light exploded, the golden cauldron shattered, and all the elites of the Yukun Heavenly Palace trembled violently.
Below, the net that enveloped Nine Mysteries City also began to waver.
“Hmph, Nine Mysteries City, my Yukun Heavenly Palace will remember this. When our heavenly palace’s grand army arrives, we will surely slay you all,” the leading Han from the Yukun Heavenly Palace gritted his teeth and shouted lowly.
With a true powerhouse arriving in Nine Mysteries City, they had to retreat for the time being.
The Yukun Heavenly Palace had plenty of strong warriors.
When the real army of powerhouses arrives, they could naturally turn Nine Mysteries City into ashes.
He waved his hand to try and recall the net below.
But with a thunderous sound, his expression drastically changed.
He couldn’t take back the net!
This was a supreme treasure of the Yukun Heavenly Palace!
“Nine Mysteries City, are you determined to fight to the death with my Yukun Heavenly Palace?”
The Han roared furiously.
“Fight to the death? You’re not worthy yet.” A voice resounded from the distant sky.
“Nine Mysteries City’s Qin Suyang is here.”
