With his three foot long sword still pointing at the sky, he turned to look at them, his previously expressionless face beamed into a confident smile as raging Sword Intent could be felt from all directions.
The Sword Intent, most probably a byproduct of the ’Sword Immortal Descending From The High Heavens’, violently streaked through the battlefield, causing dismay among the Demon Beasts, immobilizing them and even killing a few.
*ROAR!*
At this moment, a terrifying, loud roar resounded throughout the battlefield.
Hearing the roar, a great sense of dread washed over the cultivators who were fighting on the ground, making them involuntarily check the direction where the roar came from with their Divine Sense while continuing to fight the disoriented Demon Beasts.
Their pupils dilated, horror flashing through their eyes.
"Wh-what even is that?"
"Surely it can’t be a Demon Beast at the peak of the Innate Realm, right...?"
"No way..this aura, it’s undoubtedly extremely powerful, far stronger than anything I’ve ever faced...!"
Various cries of hopelessness and disbelief filled the air, not wanting to believe the crushing reality in front of them.
Far into the distance, a giant dinosaur like Demon Beast more than 50 feet in size charged towards the battlefield with a loud roar. Similar creatures ran beside, not much smaller than it.
Other Demon Beasts also began appearing around the battlefield, albeit weaker than the one in the middle. Soon, there were only Demon Beasts all where eyes could see.
Seeing the dinosaur like Demon Beast appear, all the Innate Realm cultivators’ eyes twitched.
"That thing’s in the later stages, possibly at the peak of the Innate Realm. The strongest among us is only at the Sixth Stage of Innate Realm..." Zheng Yong said, clenching his fists. His voice was loud and clear, and all the others heard him too.
At this point, all of them turned to look at the blue clad youth, who finally withdrew his sword and turned his attention to the approaching Demon Beast.
Hm, a Demon Beast two minor realms above me...it’s going to be a bit tough.
He thought to himself, before suddenly releasing a wave of Sword Intent from his body that washed across every corner of the battlefield, wiping out all the the other weaker Demon Beasts.
*Whoosh!*
Only a chilling sound passed by before the Demon Beasts’ bodies were cut into pieces by the overbearing Sword Intent.
From another person’s point of view, he was merely manipulating his Sword Intent to do this, but for experienced cultivators who had a high cultivation and lived for a certain amount of time, they knew this was by no means an ordinary feat.
Manipulating one’s Sword Intent alone like that is extremely hard, not to mention using to suppress and kill enemies. And from the perspective of the Innate Realm cultivators, the blue clad youth was actually using some kind of technique involving the use of Sword Intent like this.
A genius!
That’s the first thing that appeared in their minds.
They couldn’t even see through his cultivation base, which meant that he was at the later stages of the Innate Realm!
In an instant, all the Demon Beasts below the Innate Realm were chopped off like chickens and dogs, leaving no chance of retaliation. The domineering Sword Intent still lingered in the air.
Everything happened so quickly that the cultivators below had no chance to react at all. It was only now they realized that all the Demon Beasts had been wiped out.
"Did you see that?"
"No, were we saved by the seniors?"
"No! It was that other senior who suddenly appeared out of nowhere!"
"I thought I was about to die there..."
"But what about those Innate Realm Demon Beasts?"
At these words, everyone turned to look towards a certain direction.
The Innate Realm Demon Beasts, along with the one who was most probably in the later stages of the Innate Realm, were in a vicinity of less than a hundred miles from them.
Seeing this, they all couldn’t help but be extremely fearful and nervous yet again.
At this moment, in the sky.
The blue clad youth turned around to the Innate Realm cultivators and spoke with a calm smile on his face, pointing down at the rest of the cultivators.
"Take them away with you all so as to not get caught up in the battle. I’ll handle everything else."
His voice echoed not just in their ears, but also floated over to the ground below.
Hearing his words, all the cultivators below were a bit shocked, while the Innate Realm cultivators, without another word, hastened their pace and started to summon their flying ships to take the cultivators below away.
Each flying ship’s maximum capacity were a few hundred people, and with that, all the cultivators were quickly thrown into them. Before long, the flying ships were packed with people and they hastily escaped into the horizon a few hundred miles away.
All of this may seem like it took a lot of time to conspire, but in reality, it all happened within three breaths of time.
By this point, the Innate Realm Demon Beasts were already in front of the blue clad youth.
Well, my original plan was to only fight with my physical body, but since it’s been busted, and considering the fact that my main opponent is two minor realms ahead of me, why don’t I go all out?
Thinking of this, he chuckled softly.
Immediately, Sword Intent wrapped around his body along with Spiritual Energy, increasing his aura and pressure multiplefolds, making him look like a formidable figure with a domineering presence even in front of all the Innate Realm Demon Beasts.
Faint traces of sword light emanated from his body, extremely violent and seeking to destroy everything in its path. His aura so fierce it even made the few Innate Realm Demon Beasts flinch.
A mocking smile appeared on his face as he raised his right hand up in the air, two fingers shaped into a sword.
"What? Scared?"
He asked mockingly, knowing that the Demon Beasts didn’t understand whatever he said.
Shaking his head, his smile disappeared, his expression turning into a cold, disdainful look as a web-like pattern made of Sword Intent arose from his fingers and spread out in all directions, turning into an intricate web that quickly covered all the Demon Beasts in front.
They all tried to squirm their way out of the large web made up of Sword Intent, but to no avail.
A Demon Beast suddenly roared in fury, it’s Demonic Energy gathering at its mouth and compressing into a small sphere before bursting forth with a terrifying might.
*Boom!*
*Crackle!*
Thunderous sounds echoed throughout the place, but the Sword Intent web showed no signs of dispersing, and instead increased its pressure over the Demon Beasts.
"This is a special spell I created myself, the Spider Sword Web. Breaking through it is impossible unless you can surpass my Sword Intent. So, all resistance is futile." He said calmly, a hint of coldness flashing through his eyes before his pupils transformed into sword shapes pointing upwards, light glowing out of them and illuminating the heavens.
Instantly!
All the Innate Realm Demon Beasts except for the one at the peak of Innate Realm were cut into countless pieces as the Spider Sword Web closed in on them!
It was just as he said; all resistance was futile.
*ROAR!*
Being the only Demon Beast left, the humongous entity at the peak of the Innate Realm let out a ferocious roar, deafening the surroundings.
It’s Demonic Energy ran rampant, trying to destroy the net that had sealed it, but it was of course of no use; despite being two minor realms above the blue clad youth, it was no match for his terrifying and all-powerful Sword Intent that seemed to pierce the very heavens themselves.
The blue clad youth’s jet black hair along with his blue robe billowed violently as he brought down his right hand, his sword shaped fingers aiming at the Demon Beast struggling in the Spider Sword Web.
His Sword Intent merged together with his Spiritual Energy, strands of Sword Qi emanating from his fingertips.
At this moment, he uttered a single word.
"Die."
*Buzz!*
A buzzing sound was heard as the extremely powerful Sword Qi released from his fingertips, rushing towards the Demon Beast.
The Demon Beast, despite being a mindless creature, was still only a step away from entering the Golden Core Realm and forming consciousness. It inevitably felt an extreme sense of danger from the power that was heading towards it.
*SCREECH!*
It let out a shrieking sound as it was struck by the Sword Qi, it’s body instantly blasting off into smithereens, not even ashes left.
The Sword Qi, however, did not stop there and continued moving forward at incredible pace, blasting holes into the mountains that were lined up just behind. Only then did it disintegrate.
If one looked at it from afar, they would think an impossibly large sword had pierced through the mountains and lands, creating a horrific yet fantastical scenery.
The Spider Sword Web was withdrawn and the blue clad youth landed on the ground. His expression was unusually calm.
At this point, all the Innate Realm cultivators who were watching the whole time suddenly came behind him and clasped their fists, respectfully bowing.
"We are truly grateful to the senior for ending this Demon Beast Tide so early and saving our lives. Otherwise, we all would’ve died at the hands of that Demon Beast at the peak of the Innate Realm."
They called him "senior" as they knew his cultivation was undoubtedly above their own, and felt no shame in it.
The young man clad in blue just shook his head slightly, a small smile appearing on his face as he said, "There’s no need. We all are treading on this path to immortality together, so we should help each other, not just for our sake, but for the sake of the world."

"Truly wise words. Senior, may we have your name?"
At this, he just closed his eyes and nodded slightly before answering, "Turquoise Lake Sword Manor, Sun Hao."
