“Good.”
Lu Changsheng truly wasn’t confident in defeating Lin Beichen.
Xia Ningxue was very strong, and by joining forces with her, Lu Changsheng felt he had a thirty percent chance of winning.
“Chen Yi, later on you deal with that male protector.”
“Qingzhi, Xiaoyao, Qianqian, Xiao Fan, you assist your senior sister and join forces to take on Song Tianfang.”
“Aotian, Xiaoqi, Xu Jing, Yun Qianyue, Daoist Earth Hound, Huo Wen, you deal with that female protector.”
“Grandmaster Tailin, Daoist Yuxuan, Grandmaster Taixu, Fairy Qingxia, and others, lead the many Elders of Mount Shu to hold back the rest of the Demon Sects’ members. Li Jianfei, Luo Xintang, Xiaojin, you assist the Elders of Mount Shu.”
Lu Changsheng assigned tasks to his disciples, each with their own opponent.
With Chen Yi’s breakthrough to the Divine King Realm, he could at least hold back a powerhouse of the Divine King Realm.
Although the other disciples were slightly inferior in their cultivation levels, when united, their strength was also formidable.
“Amitabha Buddha, your opponent is me, please enlighten me with your guidance.”
Chen Yi brought out his Empowerment Staff, and the intangible merit gathered by the staff emitted a terrifying pressure.
“Just right, allow me to witness the strength of a reincarnated ancient Buddha from ancient times.”
The Blood Sea Palace protector, who was fighting Chen Yi, exposed Chen Yi’s origin.
Chen Yi was secretly shocked, not expecting that this protector of the Blood Sea Palace would know he was the reincarnation of an ancient Buddha.
It seems that the Blood Sea Palace had been collecting their information too.
This voice seems somewhat familiar?
Lu Changsheng, hearing the voice of this protector from the Blood Sea Palace, vaguely recognized it as being identical to Protector Yang who had once spared him.
The female protector was Protector Yun.
These two protectors, along with Song Tianfang, were probably grouped together in the Blood Sea Palace and hence often acted together.
This person’s cultivation was not weak. Lu Changsheng wasn’t sure if Chen Yi could hold him off.
Nevertheless, Lu Changsheng felt that this person’s hostility towards himself wasn’t very strong, always muddling the waters, probably not intending to deliver a deadly blow.
“With just you creatures of the Immortal Emperor Realm, you think you’re worthy to be my opponents?”
Protector Yun’s fighting spirit was even stronger. Surrounded by Dugu Aotian, Xu Jing, Yun Qianyue, and others, she was ready to take on multiple opponents alone.
“You’re quite brave, wanting to spar with me, but first, you must prove you have the ability. Let me see just how powerful the Holy Son, cultivated by my master to replace me, truly is.”
Lin Beichen formed sword signs with his hands, drawing out the Demon Sword from its sheath.
With a crisp sound of the sword’s cry, the Demon Sword was unsheathed, radiating overwhelming Demonic Qi.
The pressure brought by Lin Beichen surpassed that of Song Tianfang.
Lin Beichen, who also came from Mount Taihua Sacred Land like Lu Changsheng, felt an inexplicable jealousy towards him.
Lu Changsheng was the peerless genius that emerged from Mount Taihua Sacred Land after Lin Beichen left, and his fame had surpassed Lin Beichen’s, completely replacing his position.
Even Lin Xuantong did not evoke such a sense of jealousy in Lin Beichen.
Lu Changsheng knew Lin Beichen was a powerful opponent and went all out, bringing forth the Nether Flame Sword.
“Oh? This is a decent Demon Sword. I didn’t expect it to fall into your hands. It seems you’re not averse to using a Demon Sword to boost your strength. In a way, we can be considered kindred spirits.”
Lin Beichen was not intimidated by Lu Changsheng’s Nether Flame Sword. The Demon Sword in his hand was of an even higher grade than the Nether Flame Sword.
Xia Ningxue drew her Mo Xue Sword, which carried a chill, even causing ice crystals to form in the surrounding air.
The Mo Xue Sword, having absorbed the coldness of the Endless Ice Domain, its quality had subtly improved.
As the Mo Xue Sword was unsheathed, the chill spread all around, and Lin Beichen became even more wary of this Longsword.
The Mo Xue Sword was originally the personal sword of an ancient ancestor from Guanghan Palace, and its quality was higher than Lin Beichen’s Demon Sword.
However…
“Two eighth-grade Divine Kings, even combined, are no match for me. Let me show you the vast difference that can exist between Divine Kings.”
The Demon Sword in Lin Beichen’s hands wielded endless sword intents that began to spread, forming a Sword Domain, and his sword intent kept soaring sharply.
“This is the Sword Domain of the Fifth Sword Realm… it’s more than that, he has infused Demonic Cultivation Skills into the Fifth Sword Realm…”
Lu Changsheng’s expression subtly changed.
Lin Beichen, truly worthy of being among the top hundred supreme geniuses on the Divine King Ranking, had defected from Mount Taihua Sacred Land without fully being taught the mnemonic verse for the Fifth Sword Realm by the Elder Ancestor of Lin Clan. Yet, Lin Beichen managed to force his way into understanding the Fifth Sword Realm on his own and even combined the sacred swordsmanship of Mount Taihua Sacred Land with the demonic cultivation skills taught by the Hallucinatory Dark Demon Venerable into one.
Lin Beichen’s gaze became even more piercing: “If you think that’s all, you’re gravely mistaken. I have comprehended my own Sixth Sword Realm!”
Hum!
The Demon Sword in Lin Beichen’s hand trembled violently, as the Demonic Qi transformed into a whirlpool, the power of the Sword Domain surged, merging with the Demonic Qi and poison fog into one.
Inside the Sword Domain, the sky was filled with dark, sword-shaped Qi, like a myriad of black sword dragons!
Damn, this guy is really a freak!
Without the mnemonic verse for the Sixth Sword Realm, he relied on his own insights to forcefully carve out his own path.
Lu Changsheng understood how fearsome the heritage of each Holy Land could be.
In the last hundred million years alone, Mount Taihua Sacred Land had produced unparalleled geniuses like Lin Beichen, Lin Xuantong, and Lin Qinghan.
If accumulated over one billion, twenty billion, or even a hundred billion years, a Holy Land would have, at the very least, hundreds of Great Experts.
Mount Taihua Sacred Land is only considered mid-tier, making it hard to imagine the heritage of ancient Holy Lands like Kunlun Holy Land, Primordial Sacred Land, and Tai Shi Holy Land.
“Lu, we can only use that sword technique now.”
Xia Ningxue felt the threat from Lin Beichen’s Sword Domain.
The strongest swordsmanship they possessed was the Holy Spirit Sword Art, which could unleash a power that exceeded the sum of their individual cultivation powers.
“Hmm.”
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, handed Xia Ningxue a Qilin Blood Essence Pill, and the two of them temporarily boosted their cultivation levels with the elixir pills before using the Holy Spirit Sword Art.
Both struck with their swords at the same time, their sword Qi, one yang and one yin, merging into one, their affection endless, even engaging the laws of Heaven and Earth.
“You’re not using the sword techniques of Mount Taihua Sacred Land and Guanghan Palace? What sword art is this?”
Lin Beichen thought that with his understanding of Mount Taihua Sacred Land’s cultivation techniques, he would easily be able to deal with Lu Changsheng. However, Lu Changsheng did not use the Sacred Land’s signature swordsmanship but instead deployed a dual cultivation sword technique awarded by the system.
This sword technique was even more powerful than One Sword Across Ages, its only drawback being that it required Xia Ningxue’s presence to be utilized.
“This sword art is too terrifying…”
The Blood Demon Ancestor, witnessing that Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue were truly going to engage Lin Beichen and that they indeed had the means to contend with him, felt a bad premonition and prepared to slip away at any moment.
“Blood Demon Ancestor, I’ve heard that you once bullied the descendants of Mount Shu. Today, allow me to see your capabilities,” said Grandmaster Tailin, a former Sect Leader of Mount Shu who had ascended before the rise of the Blood Demon Ancestor and his establishment of the Reincarnation Hall.
Grandmaster Tailin had heard about the grudge between Daoist Yuxuan and the Blood Demon Ancestor. This time he intended to take action to capture the Blood Demon Ancestor alive.
“Why can’t you Mount Shu people just disappear?”
The Blood Demon Ancestor regretted making enemies with Mount Shu in the Lower Realm, now even in the Immortal Realm he was targeted by them.
Grandmaster Tailin, who possesses the Spirit Sword Physique and who started cultivating just a bit earlier than the Blood Demon Ancestor, was more than a match for the Blood Demon Ancestor and could indeed defeat him.
“Charge!”
The Blood Demon Ancestor had no choice but to face the music, he unleashed a massive blood palm strike, clashing fiercely with the Sword Qi of Grandmaster Tailin.
Boom!
Waves of blood roared, and Sword Qi splashed.
“Qingxia, we should also try the Holy Spirit Sword Art,” said Grandmaster Taixu to his wife, inspired by Lu Changsheng bestowing the sword technique on them and seeing Lu Changsheng and Xia Ningxue use it.
Being both of the Spirit Sword Physique, they could unleash tremendous power with the Holy Spirit Sword Art in their hands.
“Alright.”
Fairy Qingxia invigorated, swung her longsword alongside Grandmaster Taixu and they executed the Holy Spirit Sword Art.
The net of swordsmanship from the Holy Spirit Sword Art enveloped a group of Blood Sea Palace elders and disciples, who felt as if their bodies and blood solidified within this net, leaving them utterly at the mercy of their captors.
The elders and disciples of Blood Sea Palace widened their eyes in terror, not expecting Grandmaster Taixu and Fairy Qingxia to wield such a supreme sword technique.
