Chapter 858

"All Evils Fall Silent, All Wickedness Perishes!"

Si Ming soared into the air, his boundless Sword Intent condensing into a barrier that annihilated all existence. The void of darkness devoured the void, causing everything to return to the boundless void. Time and space froze, and all things returned to nothingness. His opponent Beast King Anye, was also forced to stop in mid-air, unable to move.

Si Ming gathered all his Sword Qi, Monster-Slaying Sword shone with dazzling holy light as it pierced towards the Beast King. The surrounding Sword Qi also surged forth like an attached stream, rushing out with the roar of the tide!

Seeing that the Beast King was about to be pierced by this One Sword, he, who should have been unable to move, suddenly revealed a cold smile. Then, in the void and darkness, a sharp Sword-Ray suddenly appeared, which emerged from the Beast King's chest and slashed hard at the Monster-Slaying Sword.

Time seemed to pause for a moment. After an extreme state of stillness, the Demon-Slaying Barrier shattered, and the Sword Qi and killing intent vanished.

"Beast Universe of Eight Directions, Thousand Ferocious Souls!"

The attempt to slay evil failed, but a fierce counterattack followed immediately. Suddenly, millions of beast souls appeared behind the Beast King, each roaring with fury, shaking the heavens and the earth. The Suanni Bone Saber unleashed a devastating strike that shattered the sky and shattered the earth, pushing the power of the blade to its extreme.

Having just unleashed his ultimate move Si Ming was now completely depleted of his Qi and unable to continue. He could only activate the array incantation, using the Myriad Tribulations Mystic Light Array to intercept the attack, as countless Sword Qi descended upon him.

"This kind of sword formation is only good for intimidating Human Race Grandmaster, ha!"

With a nonchalant sneer, millions of beast souls rushed out to block the Sword Qi. Cracks on the mountaintop spread in all directions like a spider web, causing the entire mountain range to tremble. Each crack reflected a fierce blade of light, and the solemn and magnificent Righteous Qi Palace was instantly reduced to ruins.

The blade aura emanating from the Suanni Bone Saber was like clouds and mist, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth and transforming it into formidable killing power. As soon as the blade's momentum was unleashed, the celestial phenomena changed abnormally, and the balance of yin and yang was disrupted and conflicted, as if the end of the world had descended. The Myriad Tribulations Mystic Light Array was only slightly hindered and was immediately broken!

Sword Qi energy and blade light burst forth, completely destroying the summit of Righteous Qi Peak, turning it into a torrent of rubble that rolled down. Si Ming was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground, his body covered in wounds, with bright red knife marks and blood flowing from the wounds.

At the foot of Righteous Qi Peak, the members of the Evil-Slaying Sword School were shocked to see this. While they were fighting off the falling rocks, they were also filled with worry. Si Ming was not only their only hope, but also the only hope of the entire Barbarian Continent martial arts world. If they were to be defeated, they would face eternal darkness.

"Is Junior Brother Si alright?" Wan Ziling looked at the collapsed mountain peak with deep concern. "I'll go up and check on him."

However, before she could act, Wan Yebai suddenly drew his fingers into a sword and struck her acupoints from behind. The Sword Qi invaded her meridians, sealing her movements.

"Father! How can you be so heartless as to disregard Junior Brother Si's life or death?" Wan Ziling was both shocked and furious.

Wan Yebai sighed and said, "He is the most talented disciple in our sect to date. He broke through to the Grandmaster level at the age of sixteen and became the number one expert in our sect at the age of eighteen. He is clearly the future pillar of our sect. How could I not worry about his safety?"

"Then why didn't you hurry up and save them?"

"Are you sure you're saving someone and not harming them? Calm down, don't let your emotions cloud your judgment. The Beast King Anye, having absorbed the power of the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King, surpasses any demon in the history of the Barbarian Continent. Its cultivation has reached an unfathomable level. Although saying this is useless, looking throughout the martial arts world of the Barbarian Continent, apart from Si Ming, no one is his match, not even qualified to intervene. If you rush in rashly, you will only become a burden. Perhaps Si Ming is just one step away from victory, but he will fail because you are attacked by the Beast King. Even if the probability of this happening is only one percent, I will absolutely not allow it to happen—this is the only thing I, as the sect leader, can do."

While scolding his daughter, Wan Yebai could only sigh inwardly. He had originally thought that his sect had produced an unparalleled genius, and that as long as he carefully nurtured him and patiently waited for him to grow, he could completely eliminate the threat of the Beast King. However, the plan of Glazed Temple in the Southern Martial World to kill the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King had taken an unexpected turn.

Even if the King of Monsters cannot be completely killed, it doesn't matter. As long as Si Ming's strength grows to the point where he can defeat the Beast King alone, then even if the Beast King is resurrected, it will only become a series of impressive achievements.

Throughout the myriad realms, it is universally acknowledged that the Human Race is the fastest-growing race. The cultivation level of most Monster Race is predetermined at birth. Once they reach the level of the Beast King Anye, it is extremely difficult to make any further progress. Si Ming can grow stronger by constantly killing Beast King Anye, and as the Beast King are killed time and time again, the gap between the two will only widen—until Si Ming dies of old age.

With Si Ming in charge, the Evil-Slaying Sword School Sect will be able to grow to an unimaginable height during the century of peace. Even a hundred years later, with its talented members, it will be able to suppress the Beast King Anye and prevent it from rising again.

However, an unexpected variable occurred. A month ago, the Glazed Temple of the Southern Martial World devised a plan to eliminate the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King. They used an array to catalyze the Tathagata's Tathagata's Indestructible Body to counter the King of Monsters's extraordinary regenerative abilities.

Everything was going smoothly until just as the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King was about to be sealed, the Beast King Anye suddenly broke in, ambushed and killed the master monk Xilai was in charge of the formation, and used a secret Devil Race Secret Method to absorb the Purple-Pupiled Spirit King's power, allowing his own cultivation to reach an unimaginable height. Then he casually destroyed the Glazed Temple and killed more than half of the monks.

After the battle, some people came to the site of Glazed Temple and described the horrific scene, saying, "The corpses were piled up like mountains, blood flowed like streams, mud covered their heads and feet, almost unrecognizable. Arms and legs were broken, bloodstains formed in clumps, faces were covered with tears like candles, tattered clothes, the stench was overwhelming. People were leaning on a cane and carrying a straw bag, like wronged ghosts in a temple. The roads were piled with corpses, which had swelled up after the rain, their skins were covered like drums, their flesh was rotting inside, and the stench was overwhelming. After being scorched by the sun, the smell became even stronger. Everything around was burning, and the room was filled with a mist, the stench could be smelled for miles."

After this battle, everyone finally realized that there was another way to kill the King of Monsters besides through blood ties, but unfortunately, it was not a method that Human Race could use.

After the Glazed Temple, the next target of the Beast King Anye was undoubtedly the Evil-Slaying Sword School. If the sect hadn't absorbed a large amount of power and its Foundation hadn't been unstable, requiring time to consolidate, the Evil-Slaying Sword School would probably have already followed in its footsteps, and wouldn't have had this month to catch its breath.

However, facing the Beast King power had greatly increased, the original Evil-Slaying Sword Formation was no match for him. Ordinary Grandmaster could only become a burden. Only Si Ming could fight against him, at least that was the judgment of the survivors of Glazed Temple.

Originally, Si Ming's strength, even with the restraining effect of the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique, was only slightly better than the Beast King. Facing the Beast King, whose power has greatly increased, Wan Yebai was unsure of his chances of winning. However, he had no other choice but to place all his hopes on this disciple.

"Don't worry, he can win."

The members of the Evil-Slaying Sword School looked in the direction of the voice and found that the speaker was Duanmu Die, who claimed to be an envoy of the Six Paths Sect. It was said that the Buddhist weapon in Glazed Temple that could catalyze the indestructible god of Tathagata was forged by her.

"Where does your confidence come from?" Shang Yu asked quickly. As her mentor, she still hoped that her apprentice could have a better chance of winning.

"If I had known earlier that your Evil-Slaying Sword Technique was the same Swordsmanship from the 'Record of Ten Thousand Slaughters and Evil's Extermination,' I wouldn't have gone to the trouble of cooperating with the Glazed Temple. I would have simply given you the first volume of the Ten Thousand Slaughters Primordial Art."

"You possess the secret manual for the Ten Thousand Slaughters Primordial Art?" Shang Yu, both surprised and delighted. "So, for the past month, you've been training my disciple so that he can master this internal Internal Cultivation technique?"

Zhou Anping said worriedly, "A month is enough time to practice Swordsmanship, but we won't see any results from practicing Internal Cultivation, will we?"

Zheng Jingyuan said, "Not necessarily. If it's just about converting our sect's Internal Cultivation into the Ten Thousand Slaughters Primordial Art, a month should be more than enough."

Upon reflection, everyone agreed that this made sense, and their expressions softened slightly. However, they were not completely relieved, as none of them had ever practiced this internal Internal Cultivation before, and no one knew how much it would enhance the power of the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique. They could only pray that Si Ming could achieve a surprising victory.

Wan Yebai said regretfully, "If you had told us about this earlier, our sect would have done everything we could to delay the Beast King's actions and buy as much time as possible for Si Ming."

Even though doing so would inevitably result in heavy casualties for the Evil-Slaying Sword School, Wan Yebai's Si Ming of victory. As long as the sacrifice was worthwhile, his sacrifice would be meaningless if Si Ming were to die in battle today.

Only Duanmu Die said confidently, "Don't worry, although he hasn't mastered the No Slaughter Battle Body in a month, he has already condensed the No Slaughter Sacred Seal. He will definitely win."

At the Righteous Qi Peak, Si Ming, supporting his injured body, asked in a weak voice, "What was that Sword Qi all about? Did you also master the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique?"

Seeing that the plan had succeeded, the Beast King, carrying the bone sword, laughed heartily, "I have indeed been researching the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique, but unfortunately, this Swordsmanship is inherently incompatible with the physique of Monster Race. I have practiced it for over a hundred years without success, so I changed my approach. The move I fear most in this Swordsmanship is 'All Evils Fall Silent, All Wickedness Perishes.' Therefore, during our last battle, I endured One Sword strike to conceal the Sword Qi within my body, waiting to use it today."

Only Sword Qi of the same attribute can act under the influence of "All Evils Fall Silent, All Wickedness Perishes". Of course, it is not so simple to borrow the Sword Qi of others. The Beast King planned for a long time and put in a lot of effort before he succeeded. Fortunately, it was all worth it.

"It's time to end this. Don't worry, after I kill you, I'll spare the Evil-Slaying Sword School Sect. I won't wipe you out like I did with the Glazed Temple, otherwise I'd lose my opponent."

"So that's how it is. You felt threatened by the Tathagata's Indestructible Body of the Tathagata at Glazed Temple, so you killed him without hesitation. I had the same reason. You would never allow anyone to surpass you. You let the Evil-Slaying Sword School go because you felt they were no threat to you. You treat your enemies as toys, and it seems like you take life and death lightly. In reality, you are a complete coward."

"The victor is king, the loser is villain; say whatever you want."

The Beast King Anye spoke nonchalantly, while unleashing a powerful blade of energy that fiercely cleaved the ground.

"Knowing this is your trump card puts me at ease."
