"Have you no shame at all? When the youngsters can't win, the old ones come, and when the old ones can't win, even older ones come! Now an Undying One actually attacks juniors, then claims he wants to crush our confidence! From your kings down to your lowest cultivators, you're all shameless trash who dare not fight one-on-one. You're only barking because your hides are thick enough! Utter garbage!"
An Immortal Dao figure from the Nine Heavens spoke. He was a supreme True Immortal! His Chaos-Reversing Swordsmanship was unparalleled, and he had slain Undying Ones of the Foreign Realm, his ferocity shaking the world! He, too, was a sword cultivator, and the leader of this expedition!
Chapter 19: Blood Stained the Vast Sky
"We need not explain our actions to anyone! Since you're here, let us continue the battle between our two realms! Today, we fight to the death!"
"Fine! I'd also like to know how my Chaos-Reversing Swordsmanship differs from a king's swordsmanship!"
The True Immortal named Bai Ni spoke with unbridled arrogance, paying his opponent no heed. He even wanted to compare his own swordsmanship with a king's! He truly lived up to the defiance in his name!
"How dare an ant's glimmer compete with the sun and moon! Come up here and meet your death!" From the rear of the Foreign Realm's forces, a streak of divine light shot straight into the heavens!
Bai Ni of the Nine Heavens immediately transformed into a streak of divine radiance and followed!
Yan said, "Oh, then let's continue! Kill every last one of these ants!"
"Oh, we have more than one Undying Lord on our side! What about you? How many True Immortals do you have?"
The words had barely fallen when another streak of black light slashed out from the Foreign Realm's rear, spanning the void to cut down the sister and brother!
But a great banner rose on the Nine Heavens' side and swept across, shattering the attack.
Everyone from the Nine Heavens sighed in relief at the sight!
"I knew it! Those bastards! Thank goodness we had another card up our sleeve!" Someone wiped away his sweat, still shaken!
"Damn it, it's that battle banner! All Supremes, gather here! Kill those two from the Heavenly Horned Ant Clan first!"
Like a command, the words spread throughout the great realm, and all the Foreign Realm's leading fighters began converging!
Yu said, "Kill them! Today's battle will decide everything! We must reverse our decline! Victory belongs to us!"
Both sides remained locked in a standoff for a moment, then charged with roaring battle cries. This time, even the extreme Dao figures joined in rather than watching!
The scattered battles began converging on this ancient land. Group battles erupted, and an all-out melee began.
As time passed, Yan and his elder sister Yu began elevating their strength to its utmost limits. Facing four half-step extreme Dao experts, the two held their own, and under their leadership, the Nine Heavens' forces began gaining the advantage.
This was the power of commanders on a battlefield. Not only did they advance like a blade splitting bamboo, they also inspired fighting spirit, allowing others to unleash strength beyond their usual limits!
Lin Yue had kept a low profile when he entered the battlefield. He sought no attention, only to kill more enemies. Yet gradually, more and more people surrounded him-first two, then four, and finally six Supremes attacked him together!
Lin Yue held an overwhelming advantage against these Supremes. His physique surpassed even the Heavenly Horned Ant Clan's, and ordinary Supremes of the Foreign Realm fell beneath just a few strokes of his sword! Many Supremes and half-step extreme Dao powerhouses from the Nine Heavens who had a moment to spare began casting repeated glances his way.
"Quick...! Someone come! There's something strange about him! Attack!"
Watching the companion Lin Yue had killed with a single sword stroke turn into an enormous corpse and fall amid a sky full of blood rain, this Supreme of the Foreign Realm lost his composure and shouted for help!
"Enough of your arrogance, brat!"
A battle-axe cleaved toward him, bearing half-step extreme Dao divine marks. Its descent gripped every heart with the power to split heaven and earth. This was no piece of trash who had relied on external means to raise his strength.
"Lin Family boy, fall back!"
An old man from the Nine Heavens arrived, waving his battle banner. Worried for Lin Yue's safety, he moved to block the strike!
But Lin Yue stepped forward first, his Black-Gold Long Sword bearing indestructible divine runes as he met the attack!
"Life-Less Yin-Yang Sword!"
Where that sword passed, it severed yin and yang and cut down all things! This was Lin Yue's extreme Dao divine power of slaughter, domineering beyond compare!
First the battle-axe shattered, then his opponent's arm, and finally his entire body exploded! This sword stroke was even mightier than before. Its sword qi split the void and swept across the entire ancient land.
This was the benefit of endless bloody battles! Either erupt in despair or die in despair! Even those surrounding him farther back burst apart beneath that single stroke!
"Excellent...!"
"Absolutely astounding! He has the makings of a king! What Supremes? They're only worth a single stroke!"
Across the battlefield, the Nine Heavens' cries of amazement sent the Foreign Realm's morale plummeting. They knew another peerless prodigy had risen in this war.
"Hahahahaha! The sons of our Nine Heavens are stronger than you shameless bastards!"
An extreme Dao figure battling high above the heavens laughed, delighted by the outcome, and voiced his mockery!
"Hmph! How many can he kill? Our realm has far more prodigies than these! Convey my decree: surround him and kill him with everything you have!"
The Foreign Realm's Undying One disdained any argument. His voice descended from the heavens as he directly ordered Lin Yue's encirclement and execution!
"Shameless!"
"Worry about yourself first! Die!"
"My name is Feng Yi, of the Longevity Feng Family. Young friend, your talent is extraordinary, but don't venture too deep behind enemy lines, or we'll struggle to protect you!"
The old man spoke out of concern for Lin Yue! Like an elder, he had been keeping an eye on this prodigy. He was a mighty half-step extreme Dao expert, a truly powerful figure who had honed himself at this level and was regarded as one of those most likely to break through into the extreme Dao!
Lin Yue said, "Senior Feng, there's no need to worry. Unless an extreme Dao expert acts, no one can kill me! Just watch me break the enemy!"
"What a boast! Let's see how many you can kill! Five? Ten?" A newly arrived Supreme of the Foreign Realm spoke. He was a Void King Beast and had already led his men to surround the pair!
Feng Yi did not panic. Watching more and more enemies converge, he had long since grown indifferent to life and death. He merely regretted the fate awaiting this young man! Gripping his battle banner, Feng Yi said, "In a moment, I'll do my best to tear open a gap. You must seize the chance! The future belongs to you young people, after all!"
"Surely you jest, Senior Feng. When have the sons of our Nine Heavens ever begrudged fighting to the death? How could we abandon a comrade and flee alone? The Longevity Lin Family has no such people!"
"Haha! Well said, comrade! Let's cut down these bastards together! Kill!" With that, he swung his battle banner and attacked!
Six half-step extreme Dao experts and eight One with the Dao Supremes-all were kings, and most had come for Feng Yi!
"Die!"
A battle halberd pierced through heaven and earth, its cold gleam razor-sharp, only to be swept back by Feng Yi's battle banner!
But their opponents would not give up so easily. Leading the assault, the Void King Beast began preparing an uncanny spatial divine ability, intending to cross the distance through space and kill the pair.
Several Supremes behind him attacked simultaneously! Before their attacks arrived, phenomena had already begun manifesting, their might shaking the heavens! They intended to wipe out both men in one stroke and eliminate any future threat!
"I admit you're strong, brat. You've killed several kings of our realm. What a pity! Geniuses must be strangled in the cradle!"
The Void Beast spoke. He was already a half-step extreme Dao expert! He had few rivals at this level; only certain reclusive members of the Emperor Clans could stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
The Void Beast's Dao of the void, combined with terrifying ancient arts and the endless divine abilities surging from behind him, blanketed the sky. Like the heavens collapsing, they threatened to swallow the pair!
Yet neither man showed fear. In particular, Feng Yi's battle banner was an extreme Dao weapon. With a sweep of the banner, divine abilities were extinguished!
Feng Yi and Lin Yue stood back-to-back, like comrades who had fought together for years!
Countless years later, after Feng Yi had entered the extreme Dao, recalling this day's battle still filled him with excitement.
Then he would tell his descendants, "During those years when the flames of war raged everywhere, I once fought shoulder to shoulder with a supreme king! Together, we shattered dozens of kings of the Foreign Realm, sending them fleeing and crying for their fathers and mothers!"
Whenever he reached this part, a few children would always come forward to question him!
"I heard the old grandpa next door say that Great-Grandpa just stood on the sidelines shouting 'Awesome!' during that battle. You didn't help at all! I could've done that too!"
Hearing this, he would always fly into a rage. "Shoo, shoo! Whose brats are you? Have you even been weaned? You don't understand the ways of the world at all!"
On the battlefield.
Watching the enemy's divine abilities approach, Lin Yue said, "Brother, cover me with that battle banner in a moment. I'm going to kill every last one of them!"
"Good!"
Hearing Lin Yue's boundless confidence, Feng Yi answered instinctively, already forgetting what he had originally intended to do!
Facing the heaven-reaching treasured arts and world-shaking killing attacks of fourteen kings, Lin Yue began elevating his entire being to its utmost limits. His body's blood qi began radiating extreme Dao divine power, like a blazing sun.
Feng Yi felt the astonishing blood qi behind him and the void warping beneath its scorching heat. Lin Yue's eruption of divine power formed a force field around them, which began transforming into a domain.
The domain was simply not directed at him, yet even so, his heart pounded with terror, disbelief written all over his face!
It reminded him of the Heavenly Horned Ant Clan's sister and brother on the battlefield earlier! This display marked a peerless prodigy whose physique rivaled theirs! Incredible! To possess a human body on par with one of the world's strongest races-could this young man be an Immortal King reincarnated?
Lin Yue raised his hand and slashed!
There were no dazzling treasured arts, nor any ornate name! Lin Yue had cultivated few treasured arts to begin with, only those derived from the Yin-Yang Dao Chapter, which he expressed through the Sword Dao!
Human Immortal Martial Dao cultivated the human body itself. As long as he was strong enough, so-called treasured arts were at his fingertips, just as they were now. The Great Dao's divine marks, evolved from divine power pushed to its limits, were far stronger than those flashy treasured arts. Perhaps only scriptures on the level of the Indestructible Scripture, supreme texts devoted to the physique, could stir Lin Yue's interest!
"Life-Less Yin-Yang Sword!"
Yet this simple, unadorned stroke could not be blocked by anyone below the extreme realm.
Every divine ability was cleaved apart, every ancient art destroyed. The Void Beast's secret art for hiding in the void was shattered head-on. Space itself had been torn open, leaving nothing anywhere to hide, like haze swept away and dispersed.
After that single strike, the Foreign Realm fell silent! One sword stroke had driven back the secret arts of more than a dozen Supreme kings!
Chapter 20: Invincible Ferocity
"How is that possible!"
The Void Beast cried out in shock! Dozens of Supremes on his side had attacked together. Even he could not withstand such might, yet his opponent had shattered it with one sword stroke!
"My lord, be careful!"
The Foreign Realm's forces shouted!
While the Void Beast was still crying out in disbelief, Lin Yue had already reached him. He had no habit of standing dazed on a battlefield!
"Damn rat! Heaven-Sealing Earth-Quelling! What can you do to me!"
The surrounding void was sealed. No divine ability or treasured art could cross that distance to reach him. This was what made the Void Beast so terrifying! His spatial arts were unfathomable to gods and ghosts alike! During battle, unexpected divine abilities would often emerge from the void, making them impossible to guard against! Now he had isolated space itself, leaving his opponent without a way to respond!
"Hahahahaha!" The Void King Beast laughed wildly. Although his opponent had driven him back, it meant nothing if he could not break this divine ability!
"You think you can seal me out? Trash! Sword Disrupts Yin and Yang! I'll cut off your dog head! Die!"
Stepping with Yin-Yang Reversal, Lin Yue wielded his Black-Gold Long Sword. The two qi of yin and yang upon it carried the fluctuations of the Indestructible Scripture's divine marks, disrupting every divine mark and cleaving through his opponent's sealed void. With one stroke, he beheaded the Void King Beast!
"Ah! Lord Void Beast has been killed!"
"How is that possible? Did the Void Beast's spatial divine ability fail!"
A head fell through the sky, and the Foreign Realm's forces began fleeing madly! What Supremes? What kings? Faced with death, they did not vow to stand their ground like those of the Nine Heavens!
"Heh! In the end, all you can do is wail! Unfortunately, you're not going anywhere!"
"Hahahahaha! Where do you think you're going! Great Wind Banner, shake heaven and earth! Open!"
Feng Yi swept his battle banner, blocking their way!
"Colorless Yin-Yang Sword Realm! Rise!" As Lin Yue spoke, the formless Great Dao condensed into tangible swords within the void!
"Kill!"
The swords formed from the Great Dao became a vortex, shredding the Foreign Realm's remaining Supremes like streaks of flowing light!
"Ah! Brat, you'll die a wretched death!"
"Damn it! We're at the same cultivation level! How can he be this powerful!"
Some great cultivators of the Foreign Realm hurled abuse, cursing Lin Yue. Others could not understand why the gulf between them was so vast that it left them in despair!
Unfortunately, Lin Yue remained unmoved! He raised his hand and slashed. Those still struggling against the sword formation were shattered by this sudden stroke!
Mysterious true script capable of slaying primordial spirits flashed upon the Black Sword! With a single swing, thirteen Supremes of the Foreign Realm dissolved into nothingness amid their wails!
"Excellent!"
Feng Yi roared in excitement! Those of the Nine Heavens could not help shouting along! Such might brought reassurance, especially in this age!
"Lord Lin Yue is invincible! His valor towers over the world, and his talent is unmatched!"
"Yes! Yes! Just like Lord Heavenly Horned Ant, he'll surely ascend to the Immortal Dao!"
"What's going on! Why haven't our Emperor Clans arrived yet? Quickly, have our Emperor Clans act! Kill this fiend!"
Watching Lin Yue's hair dance as his invincible aura bore down upon the battlefield, someone from the Foreign Realm was terrified to the depths of his heart and cried out involuntarily!
As everyone gazed at Lin Yue's figure, a thought rose in their hearts: this was an invincible man, destined to become a peerless voice of authority in the Nine Heavens!
"Who else?"
Facing the Foreign Realm's stunned Supremes, Lin Yue asked calmly. He employed no divine ability, yet those words lingered in their hearts like a demonic thought, refusing to fade.
Those of the Nine Heavens froze as well! That was right! Who else did they have!
"Who else have you got!"
