Chapter 1306: Chapter 1304: Invincible
The two voices were not loud, yet they contained a certain unique rhythm that progressed in waves. When they reached everyone’s ears, aside from Shi Xuanzhong, everyone’s minds went blank with confusion.
But those on the brink of desperation, such as the Limitless Sword Sovereign and others, were like drowning men grasping at a thick log, revealing an unprecedented excitement and reverence.
"It’s the Celestial Master!"
"Could it be that the Celestial Master has managed to cross realms?"
Upon hearing the previous conversation, all the realm supremes looked up.
A fist engulfed with a sea of fire struck towards them, wielded by the ancestor of the Fire Stiffs.
He was filled with rage—the fierce battle just now had cost him four of his six sons, and three of his subordinates had also died. He would not rest until he had his revenge.
"You dare!"
A shout came from the distant void with a thunderous boom, causing the ancestor of the Fire Stiffs to bleed from all seven orifices and beat a hasty retreat as if he had seen a ghost, not daring to act rashly again.
In their field of vision, a power surged up from the pit on the ground, turning from intangible to tangible, setting everyone’s blood boiling. It was a confluence of the blood and spirit of millions of warriors.
Not only that, surging powers were also pouring in from all around, the lingering blood essence of fallen supremes, exceptionally vast.
Immediately after!
They saw this power reach across to the distant depths of the starry sky, forming a channel.
The world of East Victory was suddenly transformed as countless thick bolts of lightning appeared, striking the channel fiercely. The blood essence on its surface was continuously shattered and evaporated, causing the many realm supremes to tremble with fear.
But whenever this happened, more blood essence would replenish from the depths below, forming an even more intricate structure. Despite the thunder and lightning, the channel remained impenetrable.
It seemed the heavens had been enraged, as the lightning swelled into the thickness of tens of meters, entwined like myriad dragons and snakes, striking down. The air was filled with the acidic scent of electricity.
Luckily, they were all directed at the channel; otherwise, no one but Shi Xuanzhong would have survived.
Crack, crack, crack!
The channel grew thin, nearly severed, but the blood essence of a billion warriors, plus the over three hundred supremes, was too dense, bearing the onslaught.
In the sky, three figures slowly descended.
They were not tall, but the moment they appeared, they seemed like three mountains piercing the clouds, with the whole world lying prostrate at their feet.
Thread by thread, their aura leaked out, making the will of East Victory’s world like facing a formidable enemy, sending down an even more ferocious sea of thunder, causing everyone to tremble and hastily retreat.
One must know that the Blood Essence Channel could block even heavenly tribulation lightning; it naturally shielded most of the three people’s momentum. Even so, everyone present felt their hairs stand on end. How strong must these three individuals be?
Unimaginable!
"The world of East Victory now, capable of accommodating a Sky Origin Realm Supreme Lord, yet repulsing these three—could they be...?"
The Immortal Scholar’s face was filled with tremendous shock.
"Not broken-space powerhouses but not far off either,"
Shi Xuanzhong took a deep breath.
Breaking space means not just breaking the surface void but breaking the boundless void. That has been the dream of countless warriors since ancient times, also known as the realm that is said to be impossible to reach.
But these three individuals before them were clearly not far off from that very step.
In fact, at Shi Xuanzhong’s level, it was of course very clear that breaking space was not impossible, just extremely difficult.
The changes in the environment of heaven and earth also confirmed this point.
Sixteen thousand years ago, even with the construction of a Blood Essence Channel, these three could not cross realms, or else East Victory would have long since fallen.
Yet now they have succeeded, which can only mean that the world’s capacity to integrate is stronger than it was sixteen thousand years ago. Perhaps one day, it will be able to fully integrate a Semi-Broken Level powerhouse.
As for accommodating a broken-space powerhouse, that is theoretically impossible. So-called breaking is precisely to break the shackles, an existence that transcends balance. The rules of heaven and earth will not allow it.
"We pay our respects to the three masters!"
Over fifty Celestial Master supremes knelt in unison, their eyes burning with fervor. What is it to find salvation in desperate times? This is it—hahaha, now the Demon Ruler is done for, and so is the world of East Victory!
And the other three worlds, as long as the three Celestial Masters can successfully cross realms and begin their conquest, it will be effortless.
"Masters, we are incapable and cannot shirk the responsibility of countless deaths. But before we perish, we earnestly request the masters to take action, to obliterate the Demon Ruler, to avenge our fallen heroes!"
The Limitless Sword Sovereign had only one head left, stained with blood, now bearing a grin that was both ferocious and radiant, even boldly staring at Shi Xuanzhong, his gaze sharp as swords, wishing to pierce him into a sieve.
"We earnestly request the masters to take action!"
The other Celestial Master supremes also cried out in chorus, their faces filled with towering hatred and pleasure.
Their hatred for Shi Xuanzhong could not be washed away even with the waters of the three rivers and five lakes. If it were not for him, how could their camp have lost so many? And they had come so close to being killed themselves.
Only the blood of Shi Xuanzhong could cleanse that humiliation and defeat!
Within the Blood Essence Channel, the figure on the left was a grey-clothed old man, the middle one was a young man wearing the hat of a scholar, and on the right was a man in red.
Just a single glance from the three caused the supremes of East Victory to feel as if their chests had been hit by an invisible hammer, overwhelmed by a profound sense of powerlessness.
"This, this is the might of a Semi-Broken Level expert?"
With all color drained from his face, the leader of the Blade Slaves Sect had an expression as unsightly as one could imagine. Just when victory seemed certain, such a twist occurred. Was the heavens truly against East Victory?
But separated by the channel, there was an interference from the will of heaven and earth, perhaps they could not exert much power.
The leader of the Blade Slaves Sect was praying in secret, and he was not the only one—others also harbored a sliver of hope.
"Deserving death!"
The grey-clothed elder on the left slightly curved the corners of his mouth, his smirk tinged with scorn. With a loud shout, layers of sound waves spread from the channel.
In that instant, the cosmos changed color, and the pit became like a giant cake from which a layer had been forcefully sliced off.
Under the back-and-forth commotion of the soundwaves, including the ancestor of the Fire Stiff, the leader of the Blade Slaves Sect, the Sorcerer Lord, and others, bodies exploded, like a flatboat amidst the waves, always in danger of falling apart.
"The Blood Celestial Pole Array was set up by us, to block the will of the heaven and earth in this realm, and also to kill the enemy. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste of the countless warriors, deeming us fools?"
In the passage, the red-robed man on the right couldn’t stop sneering.
The grey-robed elder looked at Shi Xuanzhong, covered in blood, and shook his head, "Your talent is comparable to mine back in the day; pity you were born in the wrong place. This world cannot nurture you, nor can we tolerate you, so you might as well die."
As he spoke, he mustered his strength and released a second soundwave.
Seeing this, the Limitless Sword Sovereign and others burst into loud laughter, finally taking a deep breath. The panic from before was gone, replaced by endless exhilaration.
Demon Ruler, keep being arrogant if you can. Even if you hop around more, you’re just a grasshopper in the hands of the Celestial Master. Today, you’re doomed!
"After we breach the East Victory Realm, don’t kill anyone related to Shi Xuanzhong. I want to use all means to torture them for a thousand years!"
The Limitless Sword Sovereign transmitted his thoughts with divine intent.
The Blood Sea Old Demon let out a sinister chuckle, while the Mirror Ancestor’s aura pulsated, evidently very tempted.
As the second soundwave struck, even the most optimistic Immortal Scholar revealed a bitter and sorrowful smile.
They had lost; they were ultimately defeated. Against such three formidable enemies, who else could be their match in all the heavens? Even the invincible Holy Monarch had almost no power to resist!
Despair consumed the wills of the people, and the East Victory Realm was shrouded in darkness.
"To kill me, you three aren’t enough."
As the soundwave approached, an indescribable mighty force suddenly held it at bay outside the people, and with every step Shi Xuanzhong took, the soundwave was pushed back even more.
"What?"
"What’s going on?"
The smiles of the Limitless Sword Sovereign and others immediately froze.
The grey-robed elder also showed disbelief, his eyes flickering several times, shouting, "Impossible!"
He used all his strength, and the soundwave swept out, the very fabric of space immediately shattered, revealing the endless void. Under the influence of this soundwave, even the endless void trembled continuously.
This was a strike capable of destroying heaven and earth!
But Shi Xuanzhong’s power was also rising; if it was a river before, it was now evolving towards an ocean. The heavens and earth roared thunderously, with a great many thunderbolts gathering in the clouds.
"This is..."
The young man in the passage and the red-robed man simultaneously looked up.
But they saw two figures suddenly descended, identical to Shi Xuanzhong, with auras emanating that were almost just a notch weaker than their own, yet surmounting that of the East Victory’s Shi Xuanzhong!
Before they could attack, Shi Xuanzhong stepped forward, disregarding the blockade of the "Blood Celestial Pole Array" and just like that entered the passage.
This was the miraculous aspect of the "Dividing Body Technique"; once the main body and the divided bodies were in the same space, nothing could stop their fusion.
"Impossible, there’s no channel from the East Victory Realm that leads outwards, how could you possibly..."
The grey-robed elder screamed as though he thought of something and abruptly stopped.
"The Ten Great Dangerous Places!"
The youth wearing a scholar’s cap had a frosty expression.
The Ten Great Dangerous Places didn’t only exist in the East Victory Realm, they also existed in other worlds, but legend had it that only the child of a realm could find the path to other worlds from them and successfully traverse it.
"Thank you all. Without this Array, it would have taken my two divided bodies a long time to find their way back."
Shi Xuanzhong spoke indifferently.
Who knew that before the first great battle between heaven and earth erupted, Shi Xuanzhong had accidentally found a path within the Life-and-Death Unfounded Cave and traversed it using his original body.
However, sensing an impending great war, he did not use it to leave but instead split off two divided bodies.
With the spiritual energy from beyond the heavens, its rules and capacity for assimilation, even though the two divided bodies’ talent was far inferior to Shi Xuanzhong’s original body, after 160,000 years of secret cultivation, they had also become invincible powerhouses among the Supreme Lords, surpassing the original self.
With a single thought from Shi Xuanzhong, the three bodies completely merged.
His aura spread out, and through the Blood Essence Channel, the Supreme Lords of East Victory and the Celestials felt their pores contract, as if just a slight increase would crush them.
This level of power was beyond description.
Bang bang bang!
The thunder in the heavens and earth was even more savage than before, furiously hammering away, the Blood Essence Channel visibly diminished at a rate visible to the naked eye, and not long after, a crisp sound was heard.
The Blood Essence Channel shattered!
At the same time, the whistling of the Dao filled the heavens and the earth, ringing like thunder in the ears, as an Ephemeral Supreme Way bursting forth like a dream, transforming into thousands of attacking waves, charging at Shi Xuanzhong.
This was a sign of soon taking control of the Supreme Great Path, ascending to be the ultimate authority. It signified that Shi Xuanzhong’s Heavenly Dream Martial Arts had grown so dominant that it could rival the Ephemeral Supreme Way!
Pang pang pang...
Shi Xuanzhong against the three, simultaneously bearing the vicious onslaught of the Ephemeral Supreme Way. The terrifying fluctuations had just begun to spread when they created an endless void; then, all four were engulfed by the void and the thunderbolts.
But before vanishing, Shi Xuanzhong still unleashed a residual force.
Pang pang pang!
More than fifty Celestial Supreme Lords immediately died in droves.
"Holy Monarch, even though you are invincible, everyone still vastly underestimated you."
The Immortal Scholar was left in a prolonged shock.
