The Elder Is a Bewitching Demoness Who Brings Ruin to the Nation

He never expected to see something he shouldn't have, which made his face flush and his heart race. "Tsk, tsk, Xuanyuan Qingtian is too much of a national disaster, she's simply a bewitching demoness who captivates all beings!"

This wasn't to say Lin Feng lacked willpower, but rather that this woman's charm was too great. Even an old monk meditating would have his eyeballs pop out.

Furthermore, he was, after all, just a low-level official. Since arriving at the Divine Sword Sect, he hadn't seen what a woman looked like. It was already commendable that he hadn't turned into a beast.

A moment later, Lin Feng regained his composure and looked at the noble and imposing Xuanyuan Qingtian. "This bewitching demoness was a Saint realm powerhouse in her past life, with extremely rich cultivation experience. Now that she's reborn, she'll likely recover her peak strength within a few years. Before our Divine Sword Sect truly becomes powerful, she will definitely be our strongest trump card."

"The Saint realm isn't just a title; it's a symbol of absolute strength."

Just then.

On Xuanyuan Peak.

RUMBLE—

A bolt of lightning exploded across the High Heavens, and sound waves that hurt the eardrums swept in from all directions.

The clear sky of ten thousand miles instantly became overcast, and a fierce wind raged without warning. An awe-inspiring heavenly might that made it difficult to breathe enveloped Xuanyuan Peak.

Almost at the same time, a giant dragon-like golden lightning bolt tore through the void and smashed down fiercely.

It was as if it intended to strike down some heaven-defying existence on Xuanyuan Peak.

At this moment, Xuanyuan Qingtian, who was sitting cross-legged, seemed to sense something. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and with a flash of her figure, she appeared outside the secret chamber, standing proudly in the void, gazing up at the golden lightning bolt carrying the awe-inspiring heavenly might.

"Hmph, you want my Xuanyuan Qingtian's life? How dare you!"

Before her voice even fell, she formed a sword seal with her left hand and pointed with her right index and middle fingers like a sword at the golden dragon-like lightning bolt.

"Slash!"

As her cold, arrogant voice faded, a hundred-zhang golden stream of light slashed through the air towards the golden lightning bolt carrying the awe-inspiring heavenly might.

That was a hundred-zhang Sword Qi!

It was as fast as lightning and as swift as thunder!

It carried the sharpness that made the heavens and earth change color!

It was imbued with the dominance that made all things prostrate themselves!

In an instant, the void was torn apart, and the molecules and ions in the air were all annihilated.

At this moment, the Sword Qi and lightning collided. There was no earth-shattering momentum, nor any deafening roar. All that happened was that, silently, the golden lightning bolt was annihilated inch by inch, and the Sword Qi soared upwards.

"Hiss~"

Lin Feng, who was cultivating among the handyman disciples, couldn't help but gasp after seeing this sword strike. "Isn't this senior too strong? With just a Qi Condensation sword strike, that magnificent golden lightning bolt disappeared?"

"If she recovered her peak strength, wouldn't she poke a hole in the sky with one sword?"

Ye Jingyun, who was also alerted, was shocked. He murmured, "Is this the strength of a Sect Elder? I must cultivate even harder and offer my meager strength to the Sect Master as soon as possible."

Just then, another thunderous sound shook the four directions, followed by continuous rumbling.

The earth trembled and the mountains shook, all things prostrated themselves, and dark thunderclouds, wrapped in light and electricity, rapidly gathered.

Amidst the roaring wind, a hundred-zhang vortex suddenly appeared in the void, emitting a terrifying devouring force as it spun at high speed.

The vortex was like a giant eye in the High Heavens, looking down upon Xuanyuan Peak in anger.

More and more thunderclouds gathered, and countless lightning bolts were swallowed into the hundred-zhang vortex.

At the same time, an extremely unsettling sense of danger grew stronger and stronger.

At this moment, it was like the prelude to the end of the world.

And at this very moment, Xuanyuan Qingtian's eyes grew colder, killing intent flashed, and her expression became somewhat solemn. She stood in the void like a divine sword, emitting a faint sharpness.

Heaven-Defying Peak, Xuanhuang Hall.

"Ding! The Ninefold Divine Thunder has descended. Sensing that the Master's Fated Woman is under threat, the System is extremely angry and can't wait to present a shocking gift package."

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the first form of the immortal-grade sword skill [Chaos Nine Forms], Heaven-Man Unity Slash!"

"Ding! Congratulations on obtaining one-tenth of the sealed infinite power within the Xuanyuan Divine Sword."

"Ding! The System solemnly reminds the Master that you must help the Fated Woman withstand the Ninefold Divine Thunder."

Hearing the System's voice, Lin Feng felt both surprised and a little disappointed. He muttered, "Even though you're very sensible, System, isn't this thing too unreliable? You might as well give me some defensive magic treasures."

"Even a Human Immortal realm expert is under threat, and you're giving me one sword technique and one-tenth of the power of a sword to deal with divine thunder as a mere Eighth Stage Form Manifestation Realm rookie? Aren't you thinking too highly of this Sect Master?"

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. "Isn't this sending me to get struck by lightning? And I must withstand the Ninefold Divine Thunder? What is this Fated Woman?"

"Ding! The Xuanyuan Divine Sword is the strongest sword since the chaotic primordial era, the ultimate offensive killing weapon of the universe, and also a sword of benevolence."

"It was born from chaos. One side of its blade is adorned with the sun, moon, and stars, while the other side is adorned with mountains, rivers, plants, and trees. One side of its hilt is inscribed with techniques for farming and animal husbandry, and the other side is inscribed with strategies for unifying the four seas. It contains infinite cosmic power, capable of cutting through anything, even chaotic great powers."

"As long as you can unleash one-tenth of its power, it will be enough to withstand the Ninefold Divine Thunder."

"Ding! Upon its emergence, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword comes with nine sword techniques, each possessing world-destroying power. Even the most basic first form has the power to resist gods and demons, and is more than enough to shatter the Ninefold Divine Thunder."

"Ding! The Fated Woman is the woman destined for the Master by fate, so the Master has the obligation to help her withstand the heavenly tribulation."

"Ding! With these two heaven-defying techniques applied, if the Master still can't shatter mere Ninefold Divine Thunder, then it can only be said that the Master is too trash and too much of a disgrace to the descendants of Yanhuang. The System will be extremely angry, and the consequences will be very severe!"

Lin Feng: "..."

The System said, "Ding! Time is running out. Please accept the trial of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, Host, and become its new master."

Lin Feng was completely baffled. "Didn't I already obtain the Xuanyuan Divine Sword? What other trial do I need to undergo?"

The System replied, "Obtaining it does not mean you possess it, nor does it mean you can use it. You must gain its recognition before you can use it; otherwise, it's just a piece of scrap metal."

Lin Feng looked astonished. "No way, can't you even help me get its recognition?"

The System said, "Bring it here. The System has already provided the Master with the greatest assistance. Gaining its recognition is far beyond the System's scope of duty. The System cannot overstep its bounds."

Lin Feng's face darkened. "..."

At this moment, he realized that besides being too reliable, the System was also too infuriating!

While he was feeling dejected, a golden light inexplicably flashed and arrived. A chillingly sharp aura swept over. Before Lin Feng could even react, he was enveloped by the golden light and instantly lost consciousness.

At this moment, an incredibly beautiful woman appeared out of thin air. She glanced at the unconscious Lin Feng
