Chapter 1330: Chapter 1328: Shi Xiaole’s Law
"Son of the Demon Ruler, come out and die!"
"In all of heaven and earth, there is no place for you today!"
"Kill!"
The waves of voice, laden with boundless intent to kill, shook the heavens, turning the azure sky into cheese that was torn into hundreds of pieces. As the sound waves spread, they caused layers of ripples on the surface of the ’Seal Heaven Array’.
With the ancestor of the Fire Stiff, the Immortal Scholar, and others from the East Victory Supreme Lords leading, those who ascended the city walls were immediately stricken with drastic changes in complexion.
In the distant horizon, fourteen towering figures appeared, steadfast as mountains. Apart from the familiar Limitless Sword Sovereign and Mirror Ancestor, the other twelve people each had a stronger aura than the next, seemingly able to fill heaven and earth with a single breath.
Behind these individuals, there were nearly a hundred powerful Supreme Lords, all with murderous intent and overwhelming momentum.
"God, what’s going on?"
"Could it be that the Supreme Lords from the other three worlds have all come over?"
Even through the grand array, the oppressive auras of the fourteen sent shivers down the spines of the East Victory Supreme Lords. They had learned of the other worlds from Shi Xiaole, and instantly they speculated.
In fact, they were right.
More than half a year ago, the Limitless Sword Sovereign had sent people to the other worlds to state the grave threat of Shi Xiaole and proposed an alliance of the top Supreme Lords from all four worlds.
When they heard of Shi Xiaole’s deeds, the Celestial Supreme Lords from the other three worlds were naturally shocked, but they did not agree immediately.
If they dispatched their top Supreme Lords, what would happen to the counterattack in the three worlds? Once the array was broken, the remaining forces could only retreat to the Ming Ancient World and destroy the Void Channel.
Destroying the Void Channel without the three Celestial Masters would mean it was impossible to build it again, thus impossible to conquer the four worlds—that was unacceptable!
After much debate, the supporters of the Limitless Sword Sovereign eventually prevailed.
Thus, after a series of major battles broke out in succession in the three worlds, assuring a short-term ceasefire, only a few Supreme Lords stayed behind, and the rest rushed to the East Victory World.
All for the purpose of executing Shi Xiaole!
In the sky above East Victory City, countless martial artists stood in the air. Upon seeing the array outside the city, they felt a chill all over, and even breathing became difficult.
Who could imagine that the Celestial Supreme Lords, who were reduced to just over a dozen, would receive such strong reinforcements? What now? How could the mere thirty-plus Supreme Lords of East Victory stand against them?
Amid the gloomy oppression that engulfed East Victory City, silently and unnoticed, a figure appeared at the center of the city wall, quietly gazing into the distance.
"Boss, do you have a good strategy?"
The ancestor of the Fire Stiff asked from the side.
He harbored resentment in his heart but dared not vent it. In his view, if they had attacked the Outer Heaven Demons earlier, they might have already destroyed the Void Channel, thus avoiding today’s predicament.
In the end, this was the cataclysm brought about by Shi Xiaole!
The faces of the other Supreme Lords were a mix of expressions. Fairy Xinluo was about to speak when Shi Xiaole, without turning his head, said, "You all wait here; I’ll go kill them."
What?
Everyone doubted their ears.
But before they could react, Shi Xiaole had already made use of the array channel and appeared outside of East Victory City. His figure was tall and straight, with the divine sword hanging at his waist, ready to face a hundred foes alone!
Not only was everyone in the East Victory World shocked, but the Outer Heaven camp was also stunned. Fourteen top Supreme Lords, nearly a hundred powerful Supreme Lords, and for a moment, no one dared to step forward.
As the son of the Demon Ruler, it was improbable for him to act recklessly, but surely he hadn’t improved in just half a year, had he?
"You said you wanted to kill me, so why aren’t you making a move? If you won’t move, then I’ll be the first to act."
Without wasting any time, Shi Xiaole’s right hand grasped the Cold Shadow Sword. Gripping it tight, his body shot forward like a meteor towards the enemy.
Still mid-flight, with a clang, cold sword light suddenly unsheathed, reminiscent of the Milky Way cascading downwards, instantly covering the fourteen top Supreme Lords.
"Audacious!"
"Overestimating yourself, seeking your own death!"
The fourteen top Supreme Lords were furiously enraged. Since ancient times, aside from the Celestial Masters, who dared to disregard them?
In an instant, a combined force of fourteen majestic Supreme Lord powers erupted, the cold sword light, like fabric, was easily torn to shreds. The relentless force of the Supreme Lords attacked Shi Xiaole with a speed surpassing mental perception.
Facing this strike, even if it had been any of the fourteen top Supreme Lords, they might not have been able to dodge it.
Mirror Ancestor couldn’t help but curve the corners of his mouth upwards. He acknowledged Shi Xiaole’s swordsmanship as exceptional, but his moving skill was quite average among Supreme Lords and definitely not enough to avoid the strike.
However, the next moment!
Almost no one saw how Shi Xiaole moved, as he suddenly appeared above the Six-fingered Mad Guest, ghost-like.
’War God Record’!
Shi Xiaole was employing martial arts from the ’War God Record’. This mysterious technique had forty-nine moves, each containing different principles of heaven and earth, applicable in any maneuver.
It was from this that Shi Xiaole had mastered the divine Flying Skill, and combined with his robust Supreme Lord power, his speed was unmatched by most.
With the Cold Shadow Sword raised high, Shi Xiaole slashed down, the sword light carrying the breath of death eroding half of the sky.
"Six-Fingered Soul Sever!"
The Six-fingered Mad Guest hurriedly resisted, but he could only muster three layers of his finger strength before the death-laden Sword Qi snuffed out his vitality. With insufficient follow-up, he split into two, and the pitch-black Sword Qi flashed away.
Pfft!
Blood mist sprayed as Six-fingered Mad Guest’s body was cleaved in two. His face was filled with astonishment and horror, ten times more exaggerated than seeing a ghost in broad daylight.
How could this be possible? A year ago, even when injured, he could catch Shi Xiaole’s lethal strike. They were evenly matched, yet in just a short year, he couldn’t even take one sword strike from the other party.
To a Supreme Lord who casually lives for two hundred thousand years, one year is almost the same as one 2-hour period to others. Shi Xiaole couldn’t possibly be this strong. Who will shatter this nightmare for him?
Six-fingered Mad Guest had no idea that, in order to save Shui Wuling, Shi Xiaole had made a life-and-death cultivation breakthrough, advancing to a higher level than before. Recently, his Heart Sword had made a dramatic leap forward, and with both aspects combined, it was equivalent to a significant increase in his strength.
Furthermore, with the Flying Skills he had comprehended, Shi Xiaole’s combat power was top-notch even among the elite Supreme Lords, naturally allowing him to wound him easily.
This was the source of Shi Xiaole’s confidence.
He had intentionally given the Limitless Sword Sovereign time to act, aiming to draw in the Sovereigns from other worlds and then slaughter them all at once!
"You have threatened the East Victory World for one hundred and sixty thousand years. Today, with the sword in my hand, I will personally uproot you all!"
His howl stirred all directions as Shi Xiaole’s figure flickered and shifted, launching three consecutive strikes at Six-fingered Mad Guest. The first sword blocked the opponent’s counterattack, the second sword sealed off his escape, and the third sword thrust straight toward Six-fingered Mad Guest’s chest.
The three swords were as swift as one, quick as lightning.
Schlick!
A jet of blood spurted from Six-fingered Mad Guest’s chest at high speed, blowing up an Outer Heaven Supreme Lord a hundred thousand miles away.
"Ugh, ugh..."
Thinking back to the scene one year ago, if at that time he could have convinced the other three to join forces to assassinate Shi Xiaole, perhaps today’s events wouldn’t have occurred.
His consciousness sank into darkness, and following the disintegration of his body into ash, Six-fingered Mad Guest’s spirit was equally obliterated.
"No!"
Many Celestial Masters roared out, indescribably horrified.
The thirteen elite Supreme Lords, especially the Limitless Sword Sovereign and Mirror Ancestor, were dumbstruck, utterly confounded by Shi Xiaole’s demonic rate of improvement.
And it wasn’t just the Outer Heaven Camp; the experts from the East Victory Camp were also struck dumb as wooden chickens.
"This lad, is he human or demon, how can he still maintain such rapid progress after reaching the Sky Origin Realm?"
Dressed in black, with thick brows and big eyes that made him look like a youth, God stood there, staring up at the sky above.
Having just advanced to the Sky Origin Realm, he was already among the first-rate Supreme Lords, and after more than fifty years of cultivation, he now stood out among them. In the entire East Victory World, apart from the Holy Monarch, who could compare?
Yet, standing next to Shi Xiaole, he seemed inconsequential. Even someone as proud as God had to admit that Shi Xiaole was indeed a cut above him.
In just an instant, Shi Xiaole killed a top-tier Supreme Lord, shocking everyone on both sides. It wasn’t until that moment that his earlier words fully spread, like a thunderclap from the ninth heaven, making everyone dizzy and disoriented.
"Spread out!"
"How dare you be so arrogant, you insolent fool!"
Including the Limitless Sword Sovereign, all thirteen top-tier Supreme Lords attacked frantically, each using their own methods. The world was thrown into chaos, with ethereal energies of the Dao crisscrossing and blanketing the sky, shattering all the meteors within a million miles.
The first-rate Supreme Lords wanted to help, but soon realized they couldn’t even intervene. With their level of power, they would likely sustain severe injuries just approaching. And as for long-range attacks, their leaders were also caught up in the fight, making such efforts even more impossible.
In a battle of one against thirteen that shocked the world, Shi Xiaole showed everyone the meaning of unrivaled power in one’s own league and the definition of being unequaled across the world. Even the Supreme Lords could not escape the law of Shi Xiaole, where same level equals obliteration.
With a flash of the sword shadow, Shi Xiaole appeared behind the Mirror Ancestor, thrusting forward with his sword. The latter frantically cast all sorts of profound barriers, hiding himself within the mirror.
"Die."
But no matter how quick or cunning the Mirror Ancestor was, how could he escape Shi Xiaole’s eye? The earlier thrust was just a feint; switching mid-strike, he slashed upwards, his sword glow cutting through, shattering numerous profound barriers and sliced the person inside in two.
The inscrutable Mirror Ancestor turned out to be a short, grey-robed old man. For several generations of East Victory warriors, this man had been an inescapable nightmare, one of the most terrifying experts threatening East Victory’s security.
But now, he was effortlessly slain by the Grandmaster like killing a chicken or slaughtering a dog.
Thud!
Caught in an ambush by five great experts, Shi Xiaole remained calm and composed, piercing out with his sword. The life-and-death Qi, which had reached its peak, collided with two other major martial arts, knocking on the Little Immortal Door.
Concentric waves of radiation shot out, startling the five experts whose recently established killing array instantly disintegrated.
Two, three.
Four, five.
...
Under Shi Xiaole’s swings, one after another, the bodies of the Outer Heaven top-tier Supreme Lords were severed, and even up to their last moments, they couldn’t believe what was happening.
Layers of Supreme Realm forces overlapped and spread, but what they touched were only Shi Xiaole’s afterimages. With his unparalleled soul, Shi Xiaole could always predict a step ahead and escape the encirclement.
Swoosh!
A streak of sword light fled a thousand miles, rushing back to the Overlapping Land, and it was none other than the Limitless Sword Sovereign.
In terms of strength, the Limitless Sword Sovereign was actually the strongest among the Outer Heaven Supreme Lords, but he was injured by Shi Xuanzhong and had not fully recovered until now. The combat power he could muster was actually less than that of the other three worlds’ top-tier Supreme Lords.
Seeing how powerful Shi Xiaole was, the Limitless Sword Sovereign chose not to tarry and turned to flee.
