"Clang!"
Just as everyone trembled in terror, a metallic ringing erupted from Li Qingyue's palm.
All they saw was an utterly sharp radiance gleaming above her hand.
It was an illusory sword formed from boundless killing intent and the radiance of divine power.
The sword had no hilt, only a blade with its edge fully exposed.
The girl's fair, tender hand gripped that blade.
The hand that had felt nothing when batting away treasures now began to bleed against the sword's edge.
In mere moments, blood had stained the sword red.
For a time, everyone fell silent, unable to believe their eyes.
That sword condensed from light actually gave them an overwhelming sense of danger.
Yet the instant the sword took shape, the girl moved.
Her figure swept forward with fierce, unwavering resolve.
"Riiip!"
With a sweep of her hand, a terrifying sword ray erupted.
The sword ray was tiny at first, but swelled into the wind, actually devouring heaven and earth vital energy.
In the blink of an eye, it surged to dozens of yards long and cut straight through space, splitting it as though cleaving heaven and earth apart.
At the sight of that sword ray, everyone instinctively retreated.
They felt their bodies trembling uncontrollably with fear.
It was as though an indescribable terror resided within that sword ray.
"This is bad!"
They watched the sword ray tear through the void like a streak of light, piercing space as it hurtled toward them.
The dozen or so Four Extremes Realm experts all shuddered.
That blood-colored sword ray had originally been insubstantial, yet the instant it was unleashed, it devoured boundless heaven and earth vital energy and killing intent.
It took physical form and descended with the might to annihilate all living beings.
And it inspired an instinctive terror.
