The gale blew, and blade qi howled.
The area in front of the original Divine Palace was a mess, littered with heavily injured figures. They were all terrified, feeling as if they had been swept by a tornado of blade qi, each one filled with unparalleled dread.
"Run!"
"Hurry!"
"Young Hero Lu, I mean no harm, I'm just here to watch the excitement!"
"I'm here to spread civilization, I'm willing to be friends with you..."
"Young Hero Lu, please let me explain..."
They shouted desperately, simultaneously rushing towards the high heavens, attempting to escape the area and flee into the Outer Realm.
Their souls felt as if they were about to scatter.
They had no idea how strong Lu Chen's cultivation was, but they could clearly sense it. This was definitely late stage Divine Spirit!
Divine Spirit Seventh Level, Eighth Level, Ninth Level – all could be called late stage Divine Spirit!
Such a realm was extremely rare, even on the Outer Realm Battlefield!
This situation had completely shattered their composure.
No matter if you were a descendant of a top noble family or a disciple of a Holy Land, everyone was now fleeing desperately.
They cursed and seethed in their hearts.
Lu Chen had previously displayed the smugness of a petty man who had gained the upper hand.
Who could have imagined his cultivation was so terrifying?
But since Lu Chen had made his move, how could he possibly let them escape?
His gaze was clear and indifferent.
Under the Martial Intent Heavenly Principles, everyone was riddled with openings.
At this moment.
The crowd fleeing towards the high heavens were like moths rushing into a flame.
BOOM!
Another supremely powerful saber strike slashed down fiercely.
Terrifying, dazzling blade qi, carrying an indescribable sense of destruction and suffocation, descended from the sky, making everyone's bodies tremble once more and letting out waves of pained screams.
Bang bang bang bang!
"Ah!"
More souls were blasted apart and utterly disintegrated.
Among them, Yuwen Feng of the Yuwen family, without a second thought, quickly threw out a lifelike wooden carving.
The carving depicted an old man in a green robe, with a refined face, noble demeanor, and deep, dark eyes. It gave off the illusion that he was an unparalleled sage.
One who understood everything.
And perceived everything!
Chih!
As soon as the wooden carving was thrown out, it automatically began to glow and rapidly expanded, transforming into a towering, terrifying green figure constructed entirely from divine light. Its green radiance was misty, and its aura was vast.
The moment it appeared, a top-tier Divine Spirit aura permeated the surroundings.
"The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao!"
"The name that can be named is not the eternal name!"
The old man in the green robe's eyes held wisdom as he uttered an ancient Daoist chant.
BOOM!
Heaven and earth shifted, as if influencing mysterious powers from the unseen realms. Instantly, the entire Divine Mountain trembled violently, all its peaks began to glow, and large runes condensed, surging towards Lu Chen's body.
It even caused a blurry illusion for Lu Chen.
It was as if the countless incoming runes had suddenly transformed into a sky full of stars.
Suppressing everything!
Even Lu Chen frowned, feeling waves of intense pressure.
It was as if he had returned to the mortal world, where powerful heavenly seals suppressed everything.
Even his cultivation was affected.
But he made a decisive move, almost instantly drawing the Hell Demon Sword and activating it. In an instant, deathly malevolence erupted, and the sky turned black and red, like the gates of hell opening.
Heavenly Will Sword!
BOOM!
With a single slash, countless Netherworld and death energies surged from all over heaven and earth, as if a terrifying Netherworld had been smashed down.
All the runes surging out between heaven and earth were rapidly collapsing and exploding.
The illusion from just now had also completely vanished.
The peerless and terrifying sword qi directly and fiercely cleaved onto that figure in green.
The surface of the figure in green immediately lit up with even more brilliant light.
"The nameless beginning of heaven and earth, the named mother of all things..."
He continued to utter ancient Daoist sounds.
But this time, it was completely useless.
The defensive light on his body only lasted for a moment before exploding on the spot. Then, the terrifying sword qi surged into the figure in green, causing countless cracks to appear on its surface.
This mysterious and ancient magical treasure could finally no longer resist, and with a bang, it completely exploded.
After this brief obstruction, many souls were scrambling and fleeing towards the sky.
Even more souls, filled with fear, fled directly in other directions of the Divine Mountain.
They knew that Lu Chen was blocking the sky, so they didn't dare to go that way at all.
Now, they just hoped to escape to another place and hide temporarily, hoping that their reinforcements would arrive soon.
The situation today gave them an extreme sense of absurdity.
What had happened to this declining world?
Swish!
As Lu Chen struck down with his sword, his left hand had already gripped his waist. A dazzling sword light instantly emerged from his waist and shot rapidly towards the souls rushing towards the sky.
Sword Draw Slay Heavens Art!
"No!"
"Young Hero Lu, I'm willing to be friends with you!"
"Young Hero Lu, please spare me!"
"I come from a powerful force in the Outer Realm. If you kill me, my family will never let you go!"
Bang bang bang bang!
Like fireworks blooming.
The souls that had just rushed up exploded again, utterly annihilated, and died tragically.
Lines of Merit Points rapidly appeared.
Yuwen Feng's heart was filled with terror. He had already fled towards the outer perimeter of the Divine Mountain along with the others.
He had completely resigned himself to his fate today.

The peerless treasure he had finally obtained was actually shattered by Lu Chen's sword!
That treasure had helped him escape countless dangerous situations.
The Daoist sounds emanating from it were profound and unfathomable, even his own Master had praised it highly.
But today, it was completely shattered.
This made his entire heart clench, sending a piercing pain through him.
Throughout the sky, chaotic energy shot out in all directions.
Boundless gales howled and swept.
Lu Chen walked through the area with a calm expression, his black jacket gently fluttering like flowing water in the shockwaves.
The Golden Softsword and the Hell Demon Sword had already been put away again.
"You run quite fast, but with me here, where can you escape to?"
Lu Chen's voice was calm.
He waved his hand.
Whoosh!
The people he had just casually killed were immediately summoned again by his Lord of the Netherworld talent.
"Go, kill all those who escaped!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
They responded respectfully.
Then, led by Chu Yunxiao, they all pursued into the distance.
Lu Chen's gaze fell upon the mysterious treasure hall at the very front, a thoughtful expression on his face.
No wonder those people had only watched from the periphery and hadn't entered.
There was a seal outside this treasure hall as well.
His footsteps echoed as he emerged, and he could clearly feel the strong repulsion emanating from within the treasure hall.
"It seems this treasure hall hasn't reached its true unsealing moment yet; only this Divine Mountain has been unsealed..."
Lu Chen frowned.
He focused his gaze and quietly activated the Karma Secret Art.
Instantly, fine threads appeared before his eyes, crisscrossing and shimmering.
The seals outside the treasure hall, as if scanned by infrared, began to emerge, revealing themselves to his sight.
Previously, he could only see tens of meters away, but with the Karma Secret Art, he could now penetrate over five hundred meters.
Many walls and trees were directly pierced by his vision.
Soon, Lu Chen's expression turned to shock.
Inside the treasure hall, a massive Dragon Vein appeared, its radiance flashing, containing immense energy. It writhed within the earth, like a colossal dragon.
This Dragon Vein was covered in all sorts of rare treasures.
In the very center, there was a Divine Spring, shimmering with dazzling light, like the sun.
"This Divine Spring's energy is astonishing, very rare."
A bold idea formed in his mind. With a casual wave, he unleashed the Chaos Returns to Origin Sword Array, weaving through gaps like a needle, inserting it into the Great Array outside the treasure hall.
He was attempting to find a weak point, just as he had done in the underwater Dragon Palace before.
As strands of Sword Qi were inserted, the surrounding repulsion gradually weakened, as if encountering an isolation.
Lu Chen's eyes burned with intensity. Suppressing the turmoil within him, he began to speed up.
Just like that.
He advanced step by step, breaking through piece by piece.
Unknowingly, he had completely penetrated the barrier.
This greatly boosted his morale.
Meanwhile.
Those who had fled the area earlier were far from calm. They were anxious, filled with fear and tension, desperately using their tokens to contact the Outer Realm, warning them not to descend carelessly.
They wanted to spread the news that Lu Chen had reached the late stage Divine Spirit realm.
However, on this heavily fortified Divine Mountain, all their communication methods seemed to have lost their function.
Any messages sent out vanished like a stone sinking into the sea, with no response.
This plunged everyone into extreme fear.
They could hardly imagine what fate awaited the other members of their sects upon their arrival.
That Lu Chen was monstrously powerful!
He had become a complete demon.
Rumble!
As expected, amidst the tension and fear of the survivors, lights intertwined in the sky, and more powerhouses began crossing the dimensional barrier one after another.
Without the world's suppression, figures descended like dumplings onto this Divine Mountain.
"We're doomed, they're here!"
"Don't come, run! Hurry and run!"
"That Lu Chen is a monster, run!"
Many cried out in despair.
But their voices seemed to fall on deaf ears as the descending figures, like gods and demons with cold expressions, exuded an aura like that of a demon lord, continuing their descent.
Suddenly, Chu Yunxiao, leading a group of experts, discovered the surviving remnants on the ground and, without a word, immediately attacked them.
"Chu Yunxiao, you're not dead?"
"Are you crazy? What are you doing?"
"Chu Yunxiao, you're attacking me?"
"No, they all seem to have become puppets!"
These survivors screamed in terror.
Boom, boom, boom...
Chaotic battles erupted again, lights dazzling.
The descending figures seemed oblivious to all this. Their auras were cold and domineering, like aloof Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, their gazes locked onto the Divine Palace below.
"What a magnificent Divine Palace, awe-inspiring, blazing with light, containing world-shattering fortune!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this Divine Palace seems to be the core of the entire Divine Mountain!"
"Refine the Divine Palace, seize the creation!"
The voices of the descending figures were cold.
Rumble...
Earth-shattering fluctuations sounded one after another.
Those descending figures finally arrived in their entirety, like divine demons.
Their numbers were even greater than before.
Each pair of eyes was icy, scanning in all directions.
"There are restrictions near the Divine Palace, repelling our bodies!"
A tall figure frowned and spoke. He was at the Divine Spirit Fourth Level and had rushed over from a distant region, hence arriving later than the first batch of descending figures.
"So what if there are restrictions? If we join forces, we can completely break through this place!"
A second figure spoke coldly. He wore a blue robe, exuding an air of nobility and unparalleled charisma. Clearly, he had also achieved heaven-defying accomplishments in the study of souls.
Suddenly, someone frowned again, gazing in the direction of the Divine Palace, their pupils contracting. "Something's not right, there's someone inside the Divine Palace. Is that... Lu Chen!"
"What? Lu Chen?"
The descending figures were startled, their gazes sharp as they focused their attention. Soon, they saw in the deepest part of the Divine Palace, a very blurry figure indeed, standing there, divine light flickering all around him, as if he were refining something.
"It really is him!"
"You're seeking death, this native actually went inside!"
"Damn it, native, get out!"
"Brat, come out for me!"
The many descending figures erupted in fury, shouting towards the interior. Some even unleashed blazing light, blasting forward. Waves of terrifying fluctuations sounded one after another, rumbling ominously.
The commotion outside startled Lu Chen from his absorption of the Divine Spring's baptism. He frowned and glanced back. He immediately discovered that many descending figures had reappeared around the Divine Palace. Their numbers were vast, almost double their previous count. Many were even launching attacks, continuously trying to break the formation.
Lu Chen remained expressionless, sensing the energy within him. These Divine Springs were indeed potent. He had only absorbed them for a short while, and the bottleneck in his cultivation was already showing signs of loosening. More importantly, his physical body. At this moment, he felt as if his body had achieved sainthood.
"Absorbing these Divine Springs for a long time will bring boundless benefits. Perhaps I can break through again!" Lu Chen thought to himself. This area was truly a blessed land. Furthermore, he had observed carefully. The location of this Divine Peak was peculiar, situated in the center of the Sword World, seemingly the ancestral vein of the entire Sword World, nourishing it.
He looked towards the Dragon Vein further ahead. In the deepest part of the Dragon Vein, a figure seemed to be slumbering, motionless, exuding a terrifying aura. Just a glance sent shivers down one's spine.
"Who is that?" Lu Chen wondered in surprise. Someone was sleeping within the Dragon Vein?
Ultimately, he slowly retreated. He decided to deal with the new enemies first before slowly absorbing the divine liquid. The secrets of this Divine Palace seemed numerous and difficult to unravel in a short time.
"Native, get out!"
"Brat, come out and die!"
Shouts of rage continued to echo from outside.
