The Upper Realm Thunder Department Dao Soldiers, a million Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, were still there.
Yet at their absolute center, beneath layer upon layer of Lightning Order runes, Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch had a gaping hole in his brow. His expression was stunned; before he even had time to feel fear, all life had already left him.
His soul had been pierced through by a flying sword!
His head had been pierced through by a flying sword containing annihilation, law-breaking, law-banning, distortion, and Destructive Sword Intent—a flying sword from a Fourth Realm Indestructible Sword Cultivator!
Such an injury was hundreds of millions of times more terrifying than any poison under heaven.
He had been utterly erased on both the physical and soul levels. His body appeared whole, but in truth, every cellular particle and every spirit particle had been completely destroyed, stripped of every characteristic of life.
When he had descended from the sect into the Lower Realm, Shenxiao Heavenly Monarch had been high-spirited, regarding the living beings of the Lower Realm as ants. His only opponent had been the Dao Soldiers of Blood Lake Corpse Mountain. Thus, he had planned to seize control of the beings in numerous small worlds as quickly as possible, then conduct an Immortal Technique search and win an unparalleled, world-shaking merit for his sect.
Now, he truly had found some clues to Immortal Techniques—at the cost of his life!
At this moment, the thoughts of countless cultivators in the starry sky froze.
They had vaguely seen only a scarlet-gold streak flash through the stars, cleaving apart lightning, tearing open the defenses of a million Thunder Department Dao Soldiers, slaughtering every living being who tried to stop it, and pinning the Dao Soldier commander to death with a single sword amid a million troops!
"No!"
