Chapter 1292: Chapter 1290: Destroying the Supreme Lord
"Am I seeing things?"
"Is this person’s strength really on par with half a Supreme Lord?"
A group of proud outsiders from beyond the skies were almost driven mad, with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, only feeling that the events that had just occurred were ten times more bizarre than the most fantastical tales.
What shocked them the most was that the life force Shi Xiaole had revealed was not even a hundred years old. Could he really not be an old monster in disguise?
The Supreme Lords from beyond the skies were also shocked, and for a moment, they didn’t know what to say.
They knew much more about the inside story than the geniuses did. According to the messages relayed back, Shi Xiaole had comprehended the Illusion Martial Way, capable of reversing deadly situations and turning death into life, which was extremely remarkable.
But what about just now?
That extreme evil force, as if it had gathered all of the negative powers from Infinite Hell, was not the Illusion Martial Way, but in terms of level, it was not inferior to it.
It was another kind of Supreme Martial Arts!
Could it be that this young man named Shi Xiaole had comprehended two types of Supreme Martial Arts? That was impossible!
The camp from beyond the skies was stunned, and the East Victory Camp was even more exaggerated, almost collectively lost for words.
Because everyone knew well that apart from the Illusion Martial Way, Shi Xiaole also possessed the half-supreme Wind Sword Way and was also skilled in the top-level Mirage Martial Way.
This had set a precedent unlike any other in history, a miracle in the annals of martial arts, unprecedented and perhaps never to be equaled in the future.
Only today did everyone realize that this was not all Shi Xiaole had. He had also comprehended another Supreme Martial Way that was not inferior to the Illusion Martial Way, and his realm was even higher!
At this moment, no one could describe the feelings of the martial artists from East Victory.
It was as if they were gazing at the stars in the night sky; whenever you thought you had seen all there was to see, as you drew closer, you would discover there were even more wonders you did not know about.
Everyone wished they could display all their strength for the world to see, but Shi Xiaole, he always kept hidden, and just the part he revealed, was enough to surpass everything under the heavens.
Unparalleled in the world!
Apart from this phrase, people really could not think of anything else that could describe Shi Xiaole.
"I have lost, I have lost... Impossible, I am a Supreme Lord, and even with a single breath left, I am not someone that just anyone can provoke."
The retreating ancestor of Shattered Space Blade had a buzzing in his brain; he could not accept that he had been defeated by someone who was not a Supreme Lord, and he did not believe Shi Xiaole had such strength.
Forcibly stopping his retreat, his feet trod on the air as if stepping on solid ground, the ancestor of Shattered Space Blade gripped his long saber tightly, shooting out like a rocket, and even while still in midair, the saber light viciously slashed down, easily tearing the void into pieces.
Although it was a strike made while heavily injured, the power was still enough to crush any non-Supreme Lord.
Unfortunately, Shi Xiaole was not to be judged by ordinary standards.
Although 90 percent of his Vigorous Air had been consumed, he showed not a hint of fear as the Cleansing Evil Sword flew out on its own. Azure Sword Qi spiraled around it, turning into a massive spiral dragon roaring and charging forward.
Controlling Sword with Qi Skill!
However, this time, Shi Xiaole used only 70 percent of his spiritual power, making it weaker than Supreme Lord standards. Assured he could suppress his opponent, he did not want to reveal too much.
Boom!
The clash of sword against saber was like thunder colliding, ripples spreading out in circles. The Cleansing Evil Sword reflected back towards Shi Xiaole at an even faster speed, and he caught it with his hand.
As for the ancestor of Shattered Space Blade, he was once again forced to retreat violently. His arms, shoulders, abdomen, thighs, and other parts burst open with blood due to the enormous force of the impact, exploding incessantly.
Out of his mouth, too, a large amount of sticky blood foam was spat out. If one could see through it, they would find that the body inhabited by the ancestor of Shattered Space Blade had completely turned into a mess inside, with countless Sword Qi crisscrossing, cutting through, and snuffing out his life force.
Even worse was the ancestor’s soul.
Originally, when he was trapped in Mirage City (Chapter 880), and as soon as the will of heaven and earth could withstand soul bodies, he was immediately attacked by nearby Supreme Lords from East Victory. He narrowly broke through the seal and escaped with his life, but his body was shattered, and his soul body was also injured.
Being attached to a weak body itself affected the soul body. Now that he was struck by the spiritual power attached to the Cleansing Evil Sword, his condition declined drastically.
Even the surface of the soul body showed a series of cracks.
"I will kill you sooner or later; you just wait!"
The ancestor of Shattered Space Blade roared with resentment and flew off without looking back towards the camp from beyond the skies. To keep fighting was not just a loss of face, but it could also cause irreparable damage to the soul.
"Having killed so many people, you might as well stay here forever."
Shi Xiaole, as if directing his own limb, controlled the Cleansing Evil Sword to shoot forward at lightning speed. The sword made a loop and stabbed straight at the ancestor of Shattered Space Blade from the front.
Some mighty figures from beyond the skies intended to stop it, each releasing their strongest attacks, some targeting the void in front of the ancestor of Shattered Space Blade, others targeting Shi Xiaole.
"Kill!"
The martial artists from East Victory were certainly not vegetarians; seeing an opportunity to turn the tides, they would not allow anyone to harm Shi Xiaole. Each of them attacked fiercely, volunteering to shield Shi Xiaole.
Shi Xiaole himself had already moved to a safe place and was controlling the Cleansing Evil Sword to strike at the ancestor of Shattered Space Blade from various angles. The disruptive forces of many mighty figures from beyond the skies couldn’t even touch the edge of the Cleansing Evil Sword.
The ancestor of Shattered Space Blade could only desperately defend, but his body could no longer withstand the strain, and after not too long, it burst apart bit by bit.
With each collision, streams of spiritual power passed through the Cleansing Evil Sword, assaulting the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor’s soul body, causing the cracks within it to grow larger and larger.
"No, if you dare kill me, and one day East Victory is destroyed, my Supreme Lord from beyond the heavens will grind your bones to dust and make you wish you were dead!"
The Shattered Space Blade Ancestor was afraid.
He wanted revenge. The previous massacre had only released one ten-thousandth of his fury. He had to personally invade East Victory and behead the Supreme Lord of East Victory. How could anything go wrong?
"Youngster, stop now, or you will regret it beyond redemption!"
The Supreme Lords from beyond also threatened angrily.
It was inevitable for Supreme Lords to die in the attack on another realm, but to die at the hands of a non-Supreme being would be a true pity.
The Great Battles Emperor even coldly shouted, "If you dare make a move, not only will I flay you alive, but I will also, in front of your very eyes, strip the skin and pull the tendons of all your relatives, friends, and anyone related to you. Every day, I will torture them with the cruelest methods so that they can neither live nor die. I never fail to do what I say!"
"A bunch of idiots!"
Shi Xiaole couldn’t be bothered with them and hit the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor with the Cleansing Evil Sword again and again.
The latter exploded until only half a head remained, forced to control his saber. But his soul body was so heavily damaged that he couldn’t unleash his true power. Struck again and again, the cracks spread relentlessly until he was on the verge of destruction.
"Even in death, I will take you with me!"
The Shattered Space Blade Ancestor shouted with venomous hatred as his head exploded, sending a beam of soul light toward Shi Xiaole at a speed invisible to the naked eye. This was the Supreme Lord’s desperate final blow, burning the soul as the price. Even another Supreme Lord could be caught off guard and struck down.
But Shi Xiaole’s vigilance was extremely high.
As soon as the other decided on mutual destruction, Shi Xiaole had already swiftly retreated, and put up layers of Vigorous Air defense and spiritual defense in front of himself.
The distance between them was originally great, plus the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor’s soul power was severely lacking, so by the time it hit the outermost layer of the Vigorous Air defense, the force was only a third of what it had been at its peak.
Crack, crack, crack!
Despite that, the Vigorous Air defense was shattered by the impact, followed by the spiritual defense, which also collapsed in a short time.
However, by that time, the soul force was almost depleted. When it surged into Shi Xiaole’s sea of consciousness, it only caused a slight tremor, unable to harm Shi Xiaole at all.
"I, I hate it so much..."
A voice of unwillingness shouted, then dispersed between heaven and earth.
The Shattered Space Blade Ancestor, who had brought tremendous trouble to the East Victory world, and almost forced the Supreme Lord of East Victory to destroy his physical body and fight to the death, was utterly annihilated.
At this moment, countless people were filled with shock.
That was a dignified Supreme Lord. Although he was only in a damaged state, he was powerful enough to dominate anyone below a Supreme Lord, yet today he was personally slain by someone. There was no doubt this event would go down in history, becoming a record that future generations may find hard to break.
And the lands beyond would forever remember a name.
Shi Xiaole!
He had nailed the Supreme Lord from beyond to a pillar of shame with his sword.
"Ah... you wretch, I must extract your soul, and torment you for all eternity!"
The Great Battles Emperor bellowed to the sky, hair and beard flying, the boiling killing intent almost seemed to reverse the cosmos itself.
The other Supreme Lords from beyond had faces ashen with fury, their ice-cold gazes locked onto Shi Xiaole, with anyone able to feel their unyielding intent to kill.
"Bring it on. If I live, I will use the sword in my hand to strike each one of you down, making you all pay dearly for your acts of aggression."
Shi Xiaole spoke softly.
He swallowed a healing pill, and with the operation of the Illusion Martial Way, regained fifty percent of his strength. He immediately raised his long sword, resembling a demonic god of swords in the focus of all eyes, and swung his sword outwards.
Boom, boom, boom...
A vast swath of warriors from beyond perished, like a gaping hole had been torn in the vast ocean. Although it didn’t look like many had died, those who fell were all elite beings from the lands beyond.
Just as the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor had massacred the elites of East Victory, Shi Xiaole, with his unfeeling expression, began to slaughter the elites from beyond, and his efficiency far surpassed that of the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor.
Sword strike after sword strike, regardless if they were unbeatable Forbidden Martial Emperors or outstanding warriors from beyond, all of them together were not enough to withstand a single slash from Shi Xiaole.
On this day, to the warriors of East Victory, Shi Xiaole was the inviolable young Sword Emperor who turned the tide. To those from beyond, he was ten times more terrifying than any demon, becoming the eternal nightmare of the survivors.
"Kill!"
Under Shi Xiaole’s lead, the morale of the East Victory warriors soared, and they surged out in mad pursuit, launching their first desperate counterattack in many days.
Thanks to the Illusion Martial Way, Shi Xiaole’s endurance in battle far exceeded the Shattered Space Blade Ancestor’s. After the massacre, almost all of the Void Origin Realm level elites from beyond, except for a few who managed to escape quickly, were wiped out.
The warriors of other levels, under the assault of the Great Battles Emperor and others, were like lambs before tigers, killed in a disgraceful retreat, shedding armor and weapons.
Ultimately, the battle ended with a comprehensive victory for East Victory.
