Within a radius of fifty li, the land instantly turned to scorched earth.
As the giant sword came crashing down, everyone watching was stunned. The terrifying sword might had only just burst from the blade, yet nearly every cultivator cursed inwardly and hurriedly activated their abilities, bringing forth their full strength to form terrifying shields.
In an instant, the hunchbacked old man's expression finally changed. The divine might bursting from the Purple-level Divine Sword in his hand had yet to shoot out when a defensive shield formed around him. At the same time, his lips trembled as he murmured something, though no one knew what he was saying.
Boom! Boom!
The sword might finally fell. The shield around the hunchbacked old man was shattered almost instantly, and countless sharp cracks rang out around him in quick succession. His whole body was swept away like a wisp of drifting silk.
At the same time, the cultivators watching the spectacle finally got a firsthand taste of what it meant when the city gates caught fire and the fish in the moat suffered.
Though most of the Thousand Illusions Heavy Thunder Sword's might was directed at the hunchbacked old man, its residual power was still terrifying. Not a single shield formed by the cultivators could withstand that dreadful sword might to the end. Those struck lightly vomited blood, while those struck harder were charred from head to toe, their souls utterly drained.
The might of a single sword had reached such a level!
That was the thought that arose in everyone's heart at that moment.
And just then, the hunchbacked old man let out a retch and spat out a great mouthful of pus-filled blood.
At that instant, the terror in everyone's hearts reached its peak.
