The battle below ended quickly.
With Lu Chen and the various leaders attacking with all their strength, those Demon Kings who had once stood high above all others, seemingly invincible, were swiftly cleared away. Powerful auras swept in every direction, and terrifying presences filled every corner.
Especially Lu Chen.
His Seven Styles of Divine Extinction were peerless beneath the heavens. Whenever he drew his blade, it was almost always an instant kill.
Such blade techniques not only made the various leaders secretly alarmed, but even the Ancient Clan experts watching from the surroundings trembled. They gained an even more direct understanding of Lu Chen's blade arts.
"Blade Emperor—he truly deserves the title of Blade Emperor!"
"Whoever he kills, he does it with one strike. This is the true way of the single strike!"
"One-Strike Lu Chen, this is a monster..."
"Anyone who becomes Lu Chen's enemy in the future must be insane..."
"Whether they are insane or not, after today, the world will descend into chaos. The Demon Race will retaliate against humanity on every front."
"It's over. Even the Ancient Clan Pure Land will no longer know peace..."
Many people's hearts pounded in terror.
Within the battlefield.
Destructive auras still permeated the area, changing the color of heaven and earth. Even the space here had folded in on itself.
Blade intent, spear intent, halberd intent... all of them had twisted together.
It appeared exceptionally terrifying!
Including Lu Chen, everyone had stopped and quietly watched the three battlefields before them.
One battlefield was the Third Generation Ancestor against the Blade Venerable!
One battlefield was Axe Emperor Yue Qingtian against the Violetgold Hammer Ancestor!
The remaining battlefield was the Staff King against Zhou Kaishan.
However, the battle on the Staff King's side had clearly reached its end.
Zhou Kaishan's Vajra Bracelet had long since been shattered. He himself was being brutally beaten by the Staff King, shadows of staffs lashing across his body one after another. Zhou Kaishan screamed repeatedly as blood sprayed and the bones throughout his body cracked apart.
It was obvious that the Staff King was deliberately tormenting Zhou Kaishan.
He did not wish to let this Human Traitor die so easily.
He intended to use extreme methods and make him die in unbearable agony.
On the other hand.
Axe Emperor Yue Qingtian had also gradually begun to gain the upper hand.
Only the battle between the Third Generation Ancestor and the Blade Venerable remained evenly matched. Their radiance was terrifying, like two burning suns. Their sword intent and blade intent had both nearly reached their limits.
Their cultivation levels were also almost identical.
Countless profound techniques burst forth between them.
Every blade light and every thread of Sword Qi was dazzling and brilliant, as though it could destroy the world.
"Li Wangshu, how about letting me go? You have already offended the Demon Race to the death. The Demon Race will never spare humanity, and war will inevitably come later. If you kill me, humanity will lose one supreme powerhouse!"
The Blade Venerable continued transmitting his voice while fighting fiercely.
Today's events had made him feel panic for the first time.
Especially since all the various leaders were below.
That Miao Wu Fa was unfathomable, not the slightest bit weaker than him.
He had been guarding against Miao Wu Fa at every moment.
"You want to leave?"
The Third Generation Ancestor revealed a savage grin. "A person like you bears grudges over the slightest slight and has a heart as venomous as a serpent's. Letting you leave would be the greatest mistake. There is only one destination for you—body and soul utterly destroyed!"
"You!"
The Blade Venerable was shocked and enraged. "Li Wangshu, do you truly have no regard for our friendship?"
"Bullshit!"
The Third Generation Ancestor was utterly cold. "Who has any friendship with you?"
"Fine, fine, fine, then come!"
The Blade Venerable flew into a rage and immediately began fighting for his life.
The blade intent around him suddenly erupted. His entire body and the Precious Blade in his hand abruptly merged into one, transforming into an even larger divine blade. Its radiance was brilliant, blazing fiercely, so dazzling it was impossible to describe. It swept across the sky, carrying an aura that could split open heaven and earth, and slashed at Li Wangshu at extreme speed.
"Die!"
This was the killing move he had painstakingly developed.
He had never revealed it before anyone for seven or eight thousand years, all so that one day, in battle against Li Wangshu, he could catch him off guard and cut him down in a single strike.
Li Wangshu was indeed startled.
He had not expected the Blade Venerable to have hidden such a technique.
Fortunately, he too had yet to use his trump card.
Almost at the very instant the enormous Precious Blade formed by the Blade Venerable came hurtling toward him, the divine sword in his hand also suddenly erupted with endless dazzling radiance. Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed a sword-path divine ability.
"Heavenly Will Sword!"
Boom!
A beam of sword light shot from his divine sword into the heavens. The entire firmament changed in an instant, divine radiance surging as heaven and earth shook, as though some supreme existence hidden within the unseen had opened its eyes.
An icy, indifferent aura that looked down upon the world and regarded all beneath heaven as ants suddenly spread down from the skies.
Everyone's pupils contracted.
Whether it was Lu Chen, or Miao Wu Fa, Ye Qiankun, Zhao Shanhe, Li Qingfeng, and the others below, all were startled inwardly.
"This is..."
At that moment, they actually felt as if their bodies had become transparent.
It was like ants facing the might of heaven, every hair on their bodies standing on end.
This was simply bizarre.
The Third Generation Ancestor truly is no ordinary man.
Lu Chen thought to himself.
The same sword technique was vastly more powerful in the other man's hands than in his own.
Ultimately, his cultivation had still failed to keep up.
The Blade Venerable, who was rushing forward at extreme speed, was also shocked. It was as though he faced an ancient deity, yet also as though he faced the true heavens.
"Not good!"
Boom!
Li Wangshu's sword light and the Blade Venerable's blade light collided fiercely once more. Heaven and earth overturned, sun and moon dimmed.
Countless streams of Blade Qi crisscrossed in every direction.
The Blade Venerable's body was blasted backward violently. He vomited blood wildly and was forcibly knocked out of the state of man and blade as one. His hair was disheveled, and countless sword wounds appeared across his body.

His heart filled with shock and disbelief.
He had actually been wounded by Li Wangshu?
"What sword technique was that?"
He shouted in alarm and desperately tried to break through the encirclement. His body blazed fiercely, and he was like a tiger gone mad before death.
Once a figure of this level wanted to flee, they were indeed extremely difficult to contain.
Even though Li Wangshu held an overwhelming advantage, he was still nearly unable to stop him.
Lu Chen, Miao Wu Fa, Ye Qiankun, Zhao Shanhe, Li Qingfeng, and the others were so alarmed that they immediately rushed out without hesitation, joining the battlefield to besiege the Blade Venerable.
"You want to join forces to kill me?"
The Blade Venerable's voice was furious as he let out a stifled roar. Endless blade light swept in every direction.
"Despicable, despicable! Trying to kill me? Impossible!"
Boom boom boom boom...
He charged wildly in every direction as though he no longer cared for his own life.
The terrifying fluctuations could be clearly sensed hundreds of miles away.
The Ancient Clan members hidden in the shadows all trembled inwardly, terrified beyond measure.
"The Blade Venerable... the Blade Venerable is injured..."
"They are besieging the Blade Venerable..."
"No, they cannot harm the Blade Venerable! The Blade Venerable is the patriarch of the blade path!"
Many people cried out in terror.
Rumble!
The distant booms continued without end.
Lu Chen truly experienced how terrifying the Blade Venerable was. Once such a person fought desperately, it was genuinely unimaginable.
Fortunately, they had enough people.
Even if he had three heads and six arms, he was destined to be unable to escape.
Puff puff puff puff...
Countless rays of light enveloped the Blade Venerable, making him release one earth-shaking cry after another. His voice was shrill. In the end, his body could not hold on and was shattered by the combined attack of numerous experts.
Just as the golden body within was about to flee, Lu Chen and the Third Generation Ancestor invoked the Heavenly Will Sword and struck together.
Endless radiance poured down, causing the Blade Venerable's golden body to let out cries of terror and unwillingness.
Boom!
A generation's Blade Venerable had fallen!
You killed the Blade Venerable with the cooperation of eight experts. Merit Points +3000!
A line of text flashed before Lu Chen's eyes.
"Amazing, truly amazing!"
Dongfang Xu said in shock, "Worthy of being the Blade Venerable. His blade arts were unmatched through the ages. He truly had the right to be called the Blade Venerable!"
"If it came down to a one-on-one fight, I would not be his match!"
Nether Halberd Master Yu Dongjiao shook his head.
"The Blade Venerable was indeed powerful, but it is a pity that he did not walk the righteous path. He was far too narrow-minded!"
Miao Wu Fa said softly.
"It is best that such a person is dead. If he had not died, who knew how many troubles he would cause in the future? Death was his best destination!"
The Third Generation Ancestor's tone was cold.
Yet he was equally shocked inwardly, and he subconsciously glanced at Lu Chen.
That boy had actually invoked the Heavenly Will Sword just now?
His comprehension was truly terrifying!
He had only just begun to grasp the threshold of the Heavenly Will Sword, yet Lu Chen had already mastered it completely.
Just then.
A series of violent booms came from the distant sky.
The battle between Axe Emperor Yue Qingtian and the Violetgold Hammer Ancestor had finally reached its end.
With the help of a killing arrow from Arrow God Leng Feng, the Violetgold Hammer Ancestor's body was pierced through on the spot. He screamed, then was viciously struck by Axe Emperor Yue Qingtian's peerless battle axe. With a bang, his body exploded.
Even his golden body was shattered to pieces.
At this point, the entire battle was completely over.
Dense destructive auras filled heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth overturned, while winds and clouds shifted.
The leaders stood like powerful Gods and Devils, making everyone who saw them tremble with fear.
"Exhilarating, truly exhilarating, hahaha..."
Axe Emperor Yue Qingtian laughed heartily, his face brimming with high spirits and his blood and qi surging. He swiftly crossed the sky and arrived beside the others. "Being able to eliminate so many Demon Kings this time was truly beyond expectations!"
"Everyone, since we have all happened to gather here, how about we make an even bigger move?"
Light flickered in the Third Generation Ancestor's eyes as he made a proposal.
"Something bigger?"
Everyone immediately looked toward the Third Generation Ancestor with curiosity.
"As far as I know, there are powerful figures behind this attack by the Demon Kings on Lu Chen. A Demon Race giant, the Peacock King, personally gave the order to hunt him down... Now that we have killed all these Demon Kings, why not press on while we are at it, find that peacock, and kill it as well? The Demon Race is destined to declare war on humanity afterward anyway. Killing one more Demon Race giant now means one less enemy in the future."
The Third Generation Ancestor transmitted his voice.
Everyone's eyes flashed, gleaming brightly.
"Fellow Daoist Li's suggestion is good. That peacock holds a high position and is also extremely powerful. Killing it would indeed deal a heavy blow to the Demon Race."
Miao Wu Fa smiled.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let us act at once!"
"Indeed. Before news gets out, move quickly!"
"There are many Human Traitors nearby. Someone may very well be secretly sending word!"
"In war, speed is paramount. Let us strike now!"
The many leaders responded in succession.
Even Lu Chen's eyes gleamed sharply.
Excellent!
He had only just heard about the Peacock King from Dugu Wudi.
And now they were going to hunt the peacock!
This was exactly what he wanted!
"Leave these Human Traitors to me."
Lu Chen murmured, "I will sever the threads of karma!"
Clang!
Squelch!
The black-gold Precious Blade swept lightly, and a ripple passed through heaven and earth.
Everyone's hearts jolted. It felt as though something momentous had happened between heaven and earth; a stifling aura flashed past, then quickly vanished.
"It's done!"
Lu Chen smiled.
"The Karma Blade truly is formidable!"
Miao Wu Fa smiled, the first to see through its mystery.
It had severed the karma of those Human Traitors, leaving them unable to transmit any information from this place.
"What a Karma Blade! I knew that when Young Hero Lu sparred with me that day, he had hidden his strength!"
Axe Emperor Yue Qingtian was stunned.
"You brat, just how many trump cards have you hidden?"
The Third Generation Ancestor's face was filled with shock as he looked at Lu Chen.
"Time is of the essence. Let's move now."
Lu Chen smiled. "But do you seniors have any way to track down that peacock's whereabouts?"
He had just tried using karmic threads to deduce its location, only to discover that the Peacock King was extremely cautious.
All karmic ties had been severed.
It was impossible to trace.
"Don't worry, I know where it is."
Li Wangshu chuckled. "Just follow me!"
Whoosh!
He transformed into a streak of sword light and vanished in an instant.
The others immediately turned into streams of light and swiftly followed.
They were all Dharma Aspect Realm experts. Their speed was unimaginably fast; with a single flash, they moved as though teleporting.
Only a dense aura of destruction remained here, lingering for a long time.
All manner of terrifying intents crisscrossed and intertwined.
For a long time to come, this place was destined to become a forbidden zone.
In the distance.
Those humans were stunned, each of them gripped by extreme panic.
The few Human Traitors among them were completely dumbfounded at this moment. Their minds were in chaos, and they stood like statues. Even as the tokens on their bodies flashed repeatedly, they showed no response whatsoever...
