Chapter 1317: Chapter 1315: Killing the Supreme Lord
The appearance of the seven-colored lightning had already made the twelve Supreme Lords deeply uneasy.
As the ten-colored lightning that surpassed the limits of the Ming Ancient World appeared, the murderous intent and fear in the hearts of the twelve Supreme Lords had become uncontrollable.
If this child does not die, the pattern of the sixteen worlds will greatly change because of him!
So the very moment the thunder tribulation had just faded, the twelve first-rate Supreme Lords made their move.
In an instant, there were flashes of swords and shadows of blades, punches and palm winds, the power of the Supreme Lords condensed into a surging river, fiercely attacking Shi Xiaole, who had nothing but a chunk of flesh left, intending to smash him on the spot.
"I’ve been on guard against you guys."
Before the assassins’ Supreme Lord power could get close, an aura of life pervaded the air, and the chunk of flesh that was Shi Xiaole quickly recovered, and with fingers like a sword, he made a simple slash toward the front.
The sword light flashed, like a shooting star that vanished in the darkness.
Crackle and pop!
The river formed by the Supreme Lords’ power instantly fell apart into pieces. Some pierced through the sky, some penetrated the ground, and some unaffected parts rushed towards Shi Xiaole, but under the cutting of the Sword Qi on his surface, they immediately split to either side, not even touching a hair on his body.
"Your wound?"
The Seven Evils Blades Supreme Lord was greatly shocked.
"The remaining power I had was just enough to recover this once."
Shi Xiaole said indifferently.
Aware of the lurking strong enemy, how could he not prepare in advance? If the ten-colored lightning had struck him just now, he would have accepted his death.
Unfortunately, it did not.
So, let all those who wished for his death go to hell.
Having donned a new set of blue robes, Shi Xiaole’s radiance vanished from his body, and with a step as relaxed as a leisurely stroll, he appeared behind a green-robed Supreme Lord.
In his perception, this person was the foremost among the twelve Supreme Lords and should be eliminated first.
It was impossible to describe how fast Shi Xiaole was, a single poke with his finger and the Sword Qi made that green-robed Supreme Lord’s skin crawl. His consciousness reacted faster than his body, and without thinking, he swung the long spear in his hands behind him.
Crack...
Though the power of the Sword Qi seemed almost equal to the spear’s light, at the moment of collision, the spear’s light was as fragile as a clump of tofu dregs and was easily penetrated by the sword light.
The next moment!
The green-robed Supreme Lord let out a scream as his left chest was pierced, the Sword Qi being more dreadful than a thousand soldiers, splitting into countless threads, rampaging and slicing inside his body.
Even as the green-robed Supreme Lord put all his strength into suppressing it, he was still a beat too slow, and the consolidated Sword Qi drilled into his soul, easily piercing a visible hole.
"No!"
The green-robed Supreme Lord spat out blood, his face filled with horror, unable to accept that he could not even withstand a casual sword strike from Shi Xiaole.
The others were even more dumbfounded, almost scaring themselves silly.
Thousands of years ago, the green-robed Supreme Lord was a renowned first-rate Supreme Lord, among the top three hundred in the Celestial lands, and yet he was no match for a single sword strike from Shi Xiaole?
The three Celestial Masters of those years, when they had just become Supreme Lords, were also mere first-rate Supreme Lords, definitely not a match for the green-robed Supreme Lord. Not to mention, Shi Xiaole had just passed his tribulation, far from his peak condition.
"Run!"
Without hesitation, the remaining eleven Supreme Lords were so terrified they felt as if their souls had flown out of their bodies and immediately flew off in different directions. They only wished endless Void Channels would appear so they could dive directly into them.
They had miscalculated many things; the only thing they hadn’t was that Shi Xiaole truly wasn’t at his peak state, at most only half of his peak.
But even so, Shi Xiaole had no intention of letting these people go!
Just a few 2-hour periods before, any one of them could have defeated or even killed him. Especially the Seven Evils Blades Supreme Lord and the Poison Dragon Supreme Lord—both had nearly succeeded in disrupting his breakthrough.
That moment of life and death, the brink of extinction, Shi Xiaole would never forget in his lifetime. Now, he would use them to test the fruits of his labor.
With merciless eyes, Shi Xiaole flicked his fingers lightly, his ten slender and fair fingers playing as if strumming in the air, unleashing waves of pitch-black Death Sword Qi crisscrossing and densely filling the sky.
"Seven Evils Slash!"
"Poison Dragon Drill to the Heavens!"
"Hammer Spark of Heaven!"
Along with the green-robed Supreme Lord, the twelve Supreme Lords each used their ultimate skills, fleeing for their lives while resisting the incoming Death Sword Qi. With the twelve of them sharing the burden, the pressure was greatly reduced, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, soon—
It was the same pitch-black Sword Qi, and its power had not changed, but this time it directly pierced through their attacks, just like before when it pierced through the green-robed Supreme Lord.
Gurgle gurgle gurgle...
Twelve sprays of blood burst forth simultaneously, spreading out in a fan shape, each marking a path tens of thousands of meters long across the sky, resembling a blood-red flower blooming magnificently in midair, stunningly beautiful.
Countless martial artists looked up, shocked by this once-in-an-eternity spectacle.
At the very center of the blood-red flower, Shi Xiaole stood unwavering, his fingers flying, the dense black Sword Qi, like the veins of petals, extending and surrounding the twelve Supreme Lords.
"Impossible..."
"Why is it like this?"
"Heaven above, why haven’t you taken this monster away?"
The twelve Supreme Lords were on the verge of madness.
They couldn’t understand why attacks of the same power always proved unstoppable when it came from Shi Xiaole’s Sword Qi. Under the enemy’s pressure, they were almost left with only the ability to parry.
How could they know that Shi Xiaole’s mental strength, Vigorous Air quality, and the method of fusion were unmatched in the world? With these three factors combined, the spirit body he conjured was destined to be far superior to ordinary people.
Not to forget, Shi Xiaole’s spirit body was a fusion of two lives, which resulted in even greater advantages after his breakthrough. Rather than diminishing, his natural advantages had expanded further!
In his eyes, the moves of the twelve Supreme Lords were not riddled with flaws, but he could clearly spot several. It would be difficult not to break through them easily.
"Only thirty percent of the Supreme Lord’s power remains."
After five Vigorous Air splits, Shi Xiaole’s Supreme Lord’s power was robust beyond ordinary imagination, thirty percent being equivalent to a full hundred percent of a first-rate Supreme Lord.
Shi Xiaole had a calm expression, his movements imperceptible to others. But in less than an instant, he appeared behind the nearest Poison Dragon Supreme Lord and raised his hand to deliver a sword strike.
Boom!
The Poison Dragon Supreme Lord exploded into a mist of blood. Within it, a wisp of soul power sought to break free but was torn into nothingness by the Sword Qi after a few breaths.
With one sword strike, the Poison Dragon Supreme Lord died.
Shi Xiaole, who launched the attack, seemed to know this outcome. After thrusting his sword, he turned and charged in another direction without looking back.
"Spare me!"
"Stop!"
With a swooshing sound.
From high above, the sword light formed an arc that perfectly passed through the bodies of no less than seven Supreme Lords.
At the end of the sword light, Shi Xiaole’s figure emerged. The seven Supreme Lords continued to charge forward, and only when they were a million meters away did they explode simultaneously, dying without a complete corpse.
One sword strike killed seven Supreme Lords.
Those who witnessed this scene, celestial warriors from beyond this world, felt chills down their spines. It was more terrifying than the end of the world itself.
As for the other Supreme Lords, their fate was no better.
They had lived for over a hundred thousand years but had never seen a freak like Shi Xiaole. He had just become a Supreme Lord, yet he was so dominant. If he were to continue cultivating for a few years, would there be any opponents left in the world?
"Seven Evils Slash!"
A chill rose from the tailbone to the crown, and without seeing his opponent, something in the Seven Evils Blades Supreme Lord’s instinct made him unleash his full power and whirl his blade into a powerful strike.
This was decidedly the Seven Evils Blades Supreme Lord’s strongest slash in his lifetime. The blade light broke free from the Ming Ancient World, shattering hundreds of meteorites in the starry sky.
Unfortunately, his opponent was even stronger.
One strike.
The Seven Evils Blades Supreme Lord fell.
From the moment Shi Xiaole killed the Poison Dragon Supreme Lord until now, it seemed like a lot had happened, but it all occurred in the blink of an eye; for many warriors, it felt as if no time had passed at all.
The last three remaining Supreme Lords found themselves engulfed in a surge of black Qi exploding from Shi Xiaole’s body, even faster than their Flying Skills, rapidly enveloping them.
If the black Qi were reduced by a thousand times, one would see that it was made up of strands of Sword Qi, each one incredibly sharp, carrying the scent of death, and able to easily kill peak Divine Border Realm Earth Immortals.
’Death Sword Realm’!
With the push of the spirit body and the Supreme Lord’s power, Shi Xiaole’s Sword Realm had undergone many profound changes, and its power had increased beyond measure compared to the past.
As expected of Supreme Lords, the three green-clothed Supreme Lords had their own barriers that continuously countered the invading death essence, but ultimately, they were a fraction slower.
Three black and white long swords formed in front of Shi Xiaole and shot out like thunderbolts, simultaneously striking the three Supreme Lords.
’Heart Thunder One Sword’!
The current ’Heart Thunder One Sword’ no longer contained just mental power and Vigorous Air but also the spirit body and the Supreme Lord’s power. With the three swords released together, the universe seemed to split into four equal parts, a mingling of life and death, profound and obscure.
Two screams abruptly stopped.
The surviving green-clothed Supreme Lord, with half of his body blown apart, emitted a beast-like howl of despair and shouted, "Don’t attack, I’m willing to serve you loyally life after life... "
With three swords striking simultaneously, the power of each was inevitably reduced.
Shi Xiaole shook his head and with a wave of his hand, another black and white sword shadow appeared and shot forth.
"No... "
The green-clothed Supreme Lord managed only to swing his spear, which shone three inches from his body before the sword shadow shattered it and then pierced his brow, detonating in midair.
Thus, the twelve first-rate Supreme Lords guarding the lands beyond this world were all slain.
In the sky, Shi Xiaole in his clean green attire appeared as if he had just done something trivial. Bathed in sunlight, he looked like an awe-inspiring, invincible Sword God, peerless in splendor.
He glanced down below before stepping away and vanishing into the vast sky in an instant.
Below, countless warriors stood stiff, the casual glance from before nearly convincing them they were about to plunge into hell, their souls nearly scared out of their bodies.
"A major event has occurred, a great disaster has befallen the Ming Ancient World!"
"Quick, return to the sect and pack up your valuables. It has always been our Ming Ancient World that invades other worlds, ha ha ha. Retribution has finally arrived, the cycle of the heavenly law, whom doesn’t it spare?"
A chorus of wails and cries.
On this day, the Ming Ancient World experienced a tremendous shake.
The news that Shi Xiaole had executed twelve Supreme Lords spread rapidly in all directions, triggering waves of immense panic and despair.
Indeed, even if Shi Xiaole’s demonstrated strength didn’t quite reach the top Supreme Lords, all the top Supreme Lords of the Ming Ancient World were in other worlds. Who could bring him to justice?
