Such a Terrifying Existence

No wonder Sword Demon Xi Lai dared declare that the Thunder Gate Sword Sect would surely perish today!

So he had already become a god!

Gods stood above all living beings.

No matter how strong Yang Cheng was, as long as he had not become a god, he was merely a mortal before a Deity Realm expert.

Sword Demon Xi Lai was a lean old man. Looking at Yang Cheng, he laughed loudly. "That's right, I have successfully passed the Divine Tribulation and become a god!"

He looked at the Thunder Gate Sword Sect's Ancestral Land, which resembled an immortal realm. "What a pity. After today, this place will cease to exist!"

Just then, an indifferent voice rang out. "Become a god? You do not even possess a Divine Spark, yet you dare call yourself a god?"

Sword Demon Xi Lai froze and looked over, his gaze landing on Lu Yiping.

A mortal?

When he saw the Crimson Flame Sword in Lu Yiping's hand, he was startled. "The Crimson Flame Sword!"

Back then, he had been defeated by Yang Dong's Crimson Flame Sword.

"Junior, who are you?" Sword Demon Xi Lai stared suspiciously at the Blue-robed Youth before him.

"You are not worthy of knowing my name," Lu Yiping said calmly.

Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the dozen or so ancestors of the Thunder Gate Sword Sect were all dumbfounded.

Chen Hong's expression was even stranger.

Sword Demon Xi Lai burst into laughter. "I'm not worthy to know?"

"Over all these years, no one has ever dared speak to me like that!" His face twisted viciously as he reached out with one hand. "Come here!"

A terrifying force instantly pulled toward Lu Yiping.

Just as Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the others thought Lu Yiping was about to be seized by Sword Demon Xi Lai, Lu Yiping stood there without moving.

Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the others were stunned.

What was going on?!

Even Sword Demon Xi Lai was taken aback. He looked at his palm.

He stared at Lu Yiping suspiciously, Demonic Light surging all over his body. His right palm suddenly reached out to seize Lu Yiping again. "Come here!"

This time, terrifying demonic power howled forth, blotting out the sky and covering the earth.

It was as though demons had descended upon heaven and earth.

Yet no matter how that terrifying demonic power swept forth, Lu Yiping remained standing there, utterly motionless.

"How is this possible?!" Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the others' eyes widened.

This bizarre sight left them dumbstruck.

Sword Demon Xi Lai looked at Lu Yiping, his expression turning grave. Divine power gathered around his body as he said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you, sir?"

The way he addressed Lu Yiping had changed; he no longer called him junior.

Lu Yiping stroked the Crimson Flame Sword and said calmly, "If you can catch this Crimson Flame Sword, I will let you leave."

Catch this Crimson Flame Sword?

Before Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the others could understand what Lu Yiping meant, they saw him suddenly throw out the Crimson Flame Sword, as casually as if tossing some insignificant object ahead of him.

The Crimson Flame Sword remained sheathed as it flew straight toward Sword Demon Xi Lai.

It was not fast, utterly ordinary, without the slightest hint of power.

Watching the Crimson Flame Sword fly toward him so plainly, Sword Demon Xi Lai was surprised. Yet he did not dare be careless. Activating his divine power, he lunged forward and grabbed at the Crimson Flame Sword.

But when he caught the Crimson Flame Sword, it did not stop. Instead, it shook his hand away!

It struck directly into his chest.

When the Crimson Flame Sword hit Sword Demon Xi Lai's chest, he felt as though he had been smashed by the Primordial Chaos Mountain.

His entire body shot backward like a falling meteor, crashing into a mountain peak far away in the Ancestral Land. With a thunderous boom, the mountain exploded, yet he did not stop. He slammed into another mountain behind it.

Only after Sword Demon Xi Lai smashed through several mountain peaks in succession did he fall from the sky and crash into the ground. His throat heated up, and he could no longer hold it back as golden blood spurted from his mouth.

The golden blood scattered across the surrounding ground, reflecting Golden Light so dazzling it hurt the eyes.

Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the Thunder Gate Sword Sect's ancestors were stunned.

Lu Yiping looked calmly at Sword Demon Xi Lai, who was wildly coughing up golden blood. "With that little strength, you dare call yourself a god?"

"You cannot even catch a sword, yet you dare call yourself a god?"

Upon hearing this, Sword Demon Xi Lai spewed another mouthful of golden blood.

Yang Cheng, Chen Hong, and the others looked at Lu Yiping, their faces filled with disbelief.

Sword Demon Xi Lai, who had already passed the Divine Tribulation and attained the Divine Rank, could not even catch this young man's sword!

And it was a sheathed sword, casually thrown out!

At this moment, Sword Demon Xi Lai struggled to his feet. He looked at Lu Yiping in shock and fury, then suddenly transformed into countless streaks of sword light!

That was right—sword light.

"Eternal Sword!"

Sword Demon Xi Lai shouted coldly, his voice exploding like thunder.

Countless streaks of sword light instantly blasted toward Lu Yiping.

Time around them seemed to slow.

These sword lights seemed to come from eternal time and space, eternal power continuously surging from within them.

The Eternal Sword was a stronger sword path that surpassed the Beyond the Heavens Sword!

The Nine Heavens Thunder Sword Qi Yang Cheng had previously unleashed was powerful, but once its force was spent, it would soon dissipate between heaven and earth. The Eternal Sword was different. Its power could endure in heaven and earth for a long time.

Yang Cheng and the others had not expected that Sword Demon Xi Lai had not only attained the Divine Rank, but had also reached such a shocking realm in the sword path.

Just as the Eternal Sword Qi was about to blast through Lu Yiping's entire body, all the eternal Sword Qi suddenly stopped ten meters from him, as if they had encountered an unshakable force and could advance no farther than half an inch.

Lu Yiping's expression remained calm as he blew a breath forward.

The eternal Sword Qi scattered like windblown sand in an instant, vanishing without a trace.

Sword Demon Xi Lai was sent flying backward again, rolling far away. His divine robe burst apart, his hair hung loose, and bloody marks appeared all over his body.

Having passed the Divine Tribulation and become a god, his physical body could be said to be a divine body, difficult to destroy. Yet now, bloody marks had appeared all over him, as though he might fall apart at any moment.

The shock in Yang Cheng and the others' hearts was beyond words.

Sword Demon Xi Lai's strength was already no weaker than that of the Thunder Gate Sword Sect's Sword God Yang Dong back then, yet now he lay there like a dead dog.
