(Special thanks to reader Sunlight God for the 10,000-point donation. I'll add an extra update: four chapters today, all posted within half an hour. Unless something unexpected happens, this will be the last extra update of the year. I'll be heading back to my hometown in a few days, and there'll be a mountain of troublesome things to deal with. The chapters after that are all already written, but there aren't enough to last until the New Year. I can't say for sure whether updates will stay on schedule, but I'll do my best.)
The two Blazing Sun Swords hovered above his head like twin golden suns, blazing with light so bright that no one dared look directly at them. With extraordinary talent, Yuan Hao was a rare genius of the Ancient Sword Sect, one who appeared only once in several centuries. He had always cultivated at astonishing speed. Though he had entered the Golden Core Realm less than two hundred years ago, his strength already left veteran Golden Core Late Stage cultivators feeling hopelessly outmatched.
Wielding the twin Blazing Sun Swords together was perfectly suited to his cultivation method. The expenditure of magical power was well within what Yuan Hao could bear, yet the power they unleashed was truly not to be underestimated.
"Abominations of the Southern Wastelands, die!" Yuan Hao roared. With a gesture of both hands, the two blazing spheres above him, transformed into golden suns, shot toward the several cultivators opposite him.
"Demonic Eyes Shine upon the World!" Duan Huitian, who had made a name for himself several years before Yuan Hao, held up a black mirror. It rose slowly like a demonic sun, a halo of black light shimmering around it. The outer halo spread apart, revealing an eye as large as a millstone within.
