Chapter 1299: Chapter 1297: The Terrifying Massacre
"The Heaven and Earth Evil Array" ended, saving the lives of those more than two hundred Outer Heaven Supremes. However, before they could rejoice, Shi Xuanzhong swung his arm.
A torrential storm of Supreme power invaded them.
Puff puff puff...
In an instant, more than a dozen Outer Heaven Supremes were killed. Some, who were farther away, although they managed to save their lives, still suffered varying degrees of injury.
Not until then did the force that immobilized everyone disperse, freeing everyone as if stepping out of a painting, every one of them breaking out in a cold sweat from the shock.
"Has the Supreme Realm been broken through?"
The pupils of the Limitless Sword Sovereign almost popped out, his face filled with intense jealousy and shock.
Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as a minor or major achievement within the Supreme Realm; these terms are but conventions used to better distinguish between different levels.
Clearly, Shi Xuanzhong’s current status in the Supreme Realm had already surpassed him and all other Supremes from the Outer Heavens, second only to those three Celestial Masters nearing the realm of breaking through the void.
And the life aura emanating from Shi Xuanzhong was much younger than his!
"Everyone, hold him down; the rest, attack East Victory World for me, let’s create a bloodbath!"
Blood Sea Old Demon gritted his teeth decisively, issuing the command and rushing out first, with Mirror Ancestor and Limitless Sword Sovereign only hesitating for a moment before they also joined the charge.
Once again, the overwhelming power that could freeze time burst forth from within Shi Xuanzhong.
Shi Xuanzhong looked down at the woman in his arms.
Her eyes closed tightly, her body covered in blood. Perhaps she had suffered great pain before, her brows knit tight, but a serene smile graced her lips.
Thanks to his intervention, what was left of Holy Empress’s soul miraculously clung to its last thread, a slightly better situation than what had befallen the Three Divine Generals. But to anyone in the world, this was an unrecoverable, fatal blow, one that spelled certain death.
The soul is the foundation of a person; without the body, one can seize another or rebuild, but once the soul is damaged, it is almost impossible to heal, especially when only a strand remains.
If not remedied promptly, even this final thread of soul power would slowly disperse.
"I won’t let you die, even if I have to die, I won’t let you die."
Holding his wife tightly in his left arm, Shi Xuanzhong made a silent vow in his heart, then faced the three supreme powerhouses bearing down on him.
These three had also unleashed their Supreme Realms, and although not as strong as Shi Xuanzhong, their advantage lay in numbers, crushing in on Shi Xuanzhong from three directions.
As the four forces collided, countless blurry images of the past events that had taken place here appeared in the void. Under the influence of these forces, these images were drawn out.
The next moment!
The Supreme power in the center suddenly expanded, engulfing the three supreme powerhouses in an instant, Shi Xuanzhong launching three palm strikes in the blink of an eye.
The palm shadows moved from fast to slow, creeping inch by inch when they approached within a hundred feet of the three supreme powerhouses. They desperately tried to dodge, but their bodies moved slower than the palm shadows.
Boom boom boom.
The three ultimately failed to evade, and a portion of their bodies that were grazed by the palm shadows instantly burst apart.
In one move, the Holy Monarch perfectly suppressed the three supreme powerhouses, an act that left many of the Outer Heaven Supremes dumbfounded, utterly unable to believe what they were seeing.
"What are you waiting for, come on, let’s kill together!"
The Limitless Sword Sovereign fell into a state of mania, having not anticipated at all that he would encounter such a formidable opponent in the East Victory World, and sustained serious injuries.
"So what if you achieved a breakthrough mid-battle, you will still die in the end, turning into a pile of dry bones! I will preserve your body as a specimen to study, which may perhaps aid in the development of martial arts in our Outer Heavens."
Mirror Ancestor spoke coldly.
"You must not have much power left, let’s see how arrogant you can be."
This was the roar of Blood Sea Old Demon.
At the call of the three, more than twenty Outer Heaven Supremes charged in from all around, each a top-notch fighter, unleashing their life’s ultimate skills, attacking Shi Xuanzhong with no regard for their lives.
Because the situation in the field was already decided.
Over a hundred East Victory Supremes remained, now less than twenty, each at least surrounded by four to five Outer Heaven Supremes. Their death was only a matter of time, freeing up others to join the fray.
Not to mention that, aside from this battlefield, in East Victory City, nearly two hundred Outer Heaven Supremes set free were like bloodthirsty beasts, their killing intent shaking heaven and earth!
Boom boom boom boom boom...
Under the onslaught of more than twenty exceptional Outer Heaven Supremes, Shi Xuanzhong still held his ground, but his Supreme Realm faced significant constraints.
This realm, when facing warriors below one’s own level, is almost an invincible weapon.
But the higher the realm of the adversary, the more power is needed. Spread out among so many, the impact on each individual was significantly diminished.
He had been able to immobilize the more than two hundred Supremes within the "Heaven and Earth Evil Array" previously because they had been hit by the backlash of the Array.
"You’re dead meat!"
Feeling the pressure lessen, the Limitless Sword Sovereign laughed out loud, inwardly relieved.
"Is that so?"
As he spoke, a force of reversal enveloped Shi Xuanzhong, swiftly restoring his injuries and power, bringing him back to peak condition almost instantly.
When the Supreme Realm is strong enough, it can be used on opponents as well as on oneself. Even life and death are merely a manifestation of power, how trivial are wounds to Shi Xuanzhong?
"What?"
The crowd was collectively shocked.
"Illusion Dream Formless!"
A layer of dream-powered force enveloped the nearest three Supreme Lords, and with three loud bangs, they exploded and died.
And it wasn’t over yet, Shi Xuanzhong had already reached behind two other Supreme Lords. With a sweep of his arms, two heads soared into the air simultaneously, their souls instantly obliterated.
After doing all this, Shi Xuanzhong immediately rushed towards East Victory City and plunged into the camp of those two hundred severely wounded Outer Heaven Supreme Lords, like a fierce tiger diving into a flock of sick sheep, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen Supreme Lords were slain.
"How dare you?!"
"Demon Ruler, I will extract your soul and ensure you will never find peace, not even in a thousand lifetimes!"
Limitless Sword Sovereign and the others were shocked, angry, and scared, but they had no choice but to stand their ground. This time, more than a hundred people rushed towards Shi Xuanzhong but did not dare approach; instead, they stood at a distance, launching long-range attacks.
But in doing so, those two hundred-odd severely wounded Outer Heaven Supreme Lords also found themselves trapped, because once an opening was given, no one was confident they could stop Shi Xuanzhong.
The result was one Supreme Lord after another being killed, some by Shi Xuanzhong, others accidentally by their own allies, creating chaos at the scene.
Countless warriors from East Victory retreated in disarray, moving like dark clouds, although they were panic-stricken, they were destined to remember this day, unable to forget it even till death.
Unable to forget the Supreme Lords who died tragically for East Victory, unable to forget the Holy Empress who sacrificed her life for justice, and even more unable to forget, in the distance, that invincible Holy Monarch who struck terror in the hearts of the Outer Heaven Demons, powerful enough to shock heaven and earth!
In just a quarter of an hour.
Shi Xuanzhong had slaughtered over a hundred and eighty severely wounded Supreme Lords. His feats were earth-shattering, unprecedented, and bound to astonish the entire history.
But he was also hit by the peripheral one hundred Supreme Lords, covered with wounds. With a thought, he once again used the Supreme Realm to heal himself.
Seizing this opportunity, everyone desperately bombarded him, while the surviving twenty-something Supreme Lords frantically tried to escape to the periphery.
A palm reached out towards them.
There was a thud!
A vast cloud of blood sprayed into the air, leaving only two lucky individuals who broke through the encirclement. Turning their heads, both were drenched in cold sweat, never before in their lives had they felt such terror.
"Demon Ruler, without reaching the Shattered Void Realm, frequent use of the Supreme Realm will consume your essence! Heh heh, you’re just indulging in a final frenzy, merely putting on a show of strength. Everyone, fall back, but don’t let him break through!"
Limitless Sword Sovereign waved his hand, and the hundred Supreme Lords maintained their distance from Shi Xuanzhong, clearly intending to trap him to death.
"Demon Ruler, oh Demon Ruler, your wife is dead, what’s the point of living? To protect East Victory? Fine, in front of you, I’ll personally destroy East Victory, and kill everyone!"
Absolute Gun Supreme Lord was one of the two severely injured survivors. After narrowly escaping death, his fear of Shi Xuanzhong turned into a towering rage, nearly bursting out of his chest, a feeling he could not suppress.
Turning around, the Absolute Gun Supreme Lord stabbed forward with his spear.
Clang!
The dark cloud in the distance suddenly lost a huge swath, turning into a blood cloud; it was made of countless retreating East Victory warriors who died on the spot.
"A bunch of pigs and dogs, go die!"
Another surviving Outer Heaven Supreme Lord displayed extremely bizarre methods. Countless tendrils burst from his brain like long whips, wherever they swept, they cleared the sea of people.
"Let’s see who can kill more."
Absolute Gun Supreme Lord sneered.
"Good idea."
The Tendril Supreme Lord gave Shi Xuanzhong a deliberate glance, then leaped into the air, beginning a terrifying massacre that would shake the world of East Victory.
"My Soul Separation, come back to me!"
He let out a loud shout.
In different corners of the world of East Victory, six beams of light suddenly surged, and within them were actually six brains!
Shi Xiaole looked up.
One of the brains was familiar to him; it was the very same one he had encountered years ago beneath the haunted castle in Yellow Stone Town (Chapter 288).
Back then, he barely survived, thanks only to the system that helped him through the ordeal, allowing him to absorb hundreds of years of the other’s spiritual power.
"Heh heh, there are many remarkable people in the world of East Victory. I traverse the lands with my Soul Separation, it’s with Ming Luo’s (Heavenly Destiny Divine Fortune Teller) aid that I have escaped death multiple times, avoiding the will of heaven and earth. Thank you so much!"
Soul Separation, akin to a spiritual seed, as the six Soul Separations merged into him, the Outer Heaven Supreme Lord known as Divine Thought Supreme Lord burst into laughter, his aura soaring even further.
Having evaded Shi Xuanzhong’s pursuit, his strength was naturally no small matter; and now, he was almost on par with Absolute Gun Supreme Lord. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of thousands of East Victory warriors met their untimely demise.
In the sky, on one side was the brilliance of a spear, and on the other were the shadows of tendriled whips, like hot water splashed on butter, the sea of people forming the black cloud was rapidly diminishing at an astonishing rate.
The warriors who rushed to East Victory City were all passionate individuals, representing the integrity and backbone of an entire world, yet at this moment, they were being slaughtered at will, unable to even fight back.
Within the towns near the pit, countless civilians saw the commotion; they turned ashen-faced and sprinted in frenzy, but as the surges of energy struck down, they and their towns were completely annihilated.
