The Power of Laws within the basin erupted simultaneously, flashing in the air and even illuminating the darkness at the bottom of the basin.
Deng Shouchong was at the forefront, his forehead veins bulging, his face solemn, and his hands forming constantly changing hand seals.
The banner above his head swayed slightly, and the totem creatures within the precious light transformed. By this point in the battle, he was already showing signs of a stalemate. He was secretly amazed at how sharp and swift the sword energy was, making him afraid to even think of resisting.
At this moment, Deng Shouchong silently chanted the runes on the banner. Looking at the figure of the totem creature, he felt anxious. The crisis above his head was getting closer and closer, and his emotions were getting more and more anxious. If they did not break through the threat, they would be buried to the bottom of the basin.
A hint of urgency finally appeared on his solemn face, the wrinkles between his brows deepened, the runes he silently chanted accelerated, and as a resolute feeling rose in his heart, the stars in his peripheral vision lit up again.
good!
In this Extremis, Deng Shouchong couldn't help but shout "Good!"
He had witnessed the power of the star when it first appeared, and initially thought it was a one-time attack unleashed by someone, which would be extinguished after being blocked by the sword energy. He never expected that the star would suddenly unleash an attack again. Who is this...?
There was no time to investigate whose attack it was. Deng Shouchong then used a flash of starlight to suddenly speed up the incantations he was chanting. Sure enough, the banner above his head shone brightly, and the totem creatures on it all materialized. He had given it his all.
The stars that rose up behind them also shocked the people in the middle. In their eyes, the stars were like the might of heaven, completely unlike the methods that a great cultivator could use.
This is by borrowing the Power of Laws, by seizing the power of heaven and earth, by influencing the operation of the world's rules, and by discerning the secrets of heaven beyond the firmament!
A sense of unease ran through these people. They had no time to investigate who had launched the attack; their offensive had to follow Xingchen's and use their own strength to break through the sword energy threat overhead.
The combined Magic Power and phenomena of the crowd followed the star, and under a massive sword aura, a star suddenly shone brightly. The star, leading several powerful Magic Power and phenomena, condensed into an arrowhead shape within the vast basin.
Countless sword energies were shattered around the arrowhead, and stars rose and fell in the rolling energy, like a lone boat on a vast ocean. The Magic Power and strange phenomena behind it were firmly pulled by it, breaking through many obstacles in the basin and crashing heavily into the sword energy.
Clang!
A tremendous clang of metal clashing resounded in the basin, and countless energies, carrying sword energy, raged through the air, slashing down fiercely upon contact with the massive sword energy.
The Power of Oblivion on the World-Breaking Blade Breaker erupted, and the shining stars shone brightly in the yellow sand. After the strike, the huge sword energy was blocked again, and the sword light instantly swirled away. The remaining Magic Power and strange phenomena seemed to follow one after another.
The massive sword energy abruptly stopped overhead, and a torrent of energy erupted beneath it, allowing everyone to finally catch their breath amidst the chaotic energy.
The anxiety on Deng Shouchong's face finally subsided, and he immediately channeled his magical Magic Power while simultaneously transmitting his thoughts to the rear:
"Hurry up and leave!"
Before everyone could react, Deng Shouchong's banner had already unfurled its precious light. Only then did they follow suit, transforming into streaks of light and disappearing under the light, each thinking to themselves: Fellow Daoist Deng is quite a kind person.
Several flashes of lightning streaked across Deng Shouchong's eyes. He had no idea how many people there were. After the crowd passed by, the pressure on his Dharma banner increased dramatically. Deng Shouchong finally couldn't hold on any longer, and his figure transformed into lightning, following the crowd.
Xu Long, standing alone at the back, was completely dumbfounded. He had already drifted away from the others, and the old schemer had failed to seize the opportunity to escape in time!
After several bolts of lightning flashed across the basin, the pressure on Xu Long increased dramatically.
However, the sword energy condensed at the bottom of the basin made a turn in the air, like fish gathering in the sea, and all headed towards Deng Shouchong and his group. When Xu Long tried to escape, the sword energy above his head had already fallen down.
At this moment, Lao Yinbi felt bitter inside, secretly regretting that he had overdone his boasting and should have learned more from Fellow Daoist Deng. However, the crisis above his head left him no room for further explanation.
Buzz!
The swirling World-Breaking Blade swept up once more, and a clear sword cry echoed throughout the basin.
Although the illusory sword energy in the air had dimmed considerably, Xu Long could still sense its destructive power.
The incoming sword light magnified in his eyes. The sword light surged as the Power of Oblivion was poured in, and the sword light, which had risen high, rolled rapidly in the air before piercing straight into the sword energy with a chilling sword light.
With a loud "bang," Xu Long frantically unleashed the Power of Oblivion within his body, finally opening a gap in the illusory sword energy. Before the energy could dissipate, Xu Long's mind stirred, and the sword light slashed fiercely at the gap.
The clanging sounds continued incessantly. The illusory sword energy rapidly faded under the erosion of the Power of Oblivion. At this moment, Xu Long felt that the danger in the basin had diminished, and he began to gradually retreat towards the opposite side.
After striking once, the sword light swirled again. The sword energy above was like tattered cotton wool, leaking air everywhere, but due to its massive size, it still continued to fall.
As Xu Long approached, he could clearly feel the overwhelming aura emanating from it.
This is a sword strike imbued with the rules of the world, a sword strike imbued with the laws of heaven and earth, a sword strike imbued with the might of heaven, a sword strike imbued with boundless spirit.
It has remained here for an unknown period of time. Perhaps its owner has long since disappeared, and then a mirage in the yellow sand left it in place. In the basin, it carries the glory of the past and constantly recreates the scene from ten thousand years ago.
Xu Long was also a sword cultivator, so how could he not know that this was an illusory sword aura from a mirage? However, as he approached, he could already sense the destructive power that its owner had once possessed.
This sword strike, Xu Long named it— Heaven-Slaying!
Xu Long deeply felt the world rules contained within. Cultivators must constantly strive for progress on the Great Dao and absorb the strengths of all schools. Even in Extremis, Xu Long was still comprehending the sword energy left behind by a powerful figure.
When has such a powerful being ever existed in this Land of Exile?
An offensive left over from ten thousand years ago can still be reproduced at this moment. Although the glory of yesterday has passed, its color still remains today.
Powerful beings stand tall between heaven and earth, having seen through the rules of the world; they need not bow their heads!
This is the Heaven-Slaying!
A casual sword strike can leave an indelible mark for ten thousand years; a casual attack can bring back yesterday; a casual thought can pierce the heavens; a casual Dao Heart can influence the rules!
These are powerful beings, beings that exist on the world stage. They have transcended the rules of the world and have their own will existing among the heavens!
Xu Long sensed the destructive power emanating from the sword energy, and could imagine how terrifying it must have been ten thousand years ago.
The sword energy below the basin had already been drawn away. Xu Long no longer held back; his Magic Power surged wildly. The sword energy above his head drew ever closer, and with a thought from Xu Long, the sword light swirled and slashed straight down from above.
The sword light in the air was propelled by Xu Long, and when the Power of Oblivion covered it, it had a unique power, condensing a unique energy above the basin.
The Power of Laws surged within Xu Long, causing the basin to suddenly darken. The intense sunlight was subtly obscured by the small sword light, and the rules of the world had already been affected by it.
This sword strike was an attack unleashed by Xu Long after comprehending the sword energy. It carried an unprecedented power, and the sword light in the air transformed into stars before suddenly falling!
With a loud "boom," the illusory sword energy was instantly snapped in half, and a huge shockwave suddenly rose from the basin, illuminating the darkness at the bottom in an instant.
Below the basin lie countless broken walls and a cloud of dust, with a towering archway split in two at the center of the basin.
Despite the passage of ten thousand years, its imposing aura has not completely dissipated. However, due to the destructive power of the sword energy, it will forever remain in the basin, accompanied by darkness and smoke.
Everyone in front felt a surge of energy. They dared not turn around, as the condensed sword energy behind them rushed towards them, closely following their figures. They thought the fierce attack from behind was coming from Deng Shouchong.
At this moment, Deng Shouchong was also shocked. Although he was at the very back, this attack was indeed not launched by him. This earth-shattering blow had already exceeded the energy he possessed.
The world rules contained within are far beyond my current comprehension; they require the cultivation of the Immortal Realm.
But who else in the Land of Exile, besides Blackwater City, possesses such formidable strength? Could it be that another long-dormant cultivator at the Lesser Immortal Realm has emerged?
Deng Shouchong for a moment. He dared not probe casually within the condensed sword energy. The precious light carried him as he sped out of the basin. He was unaware of what was behind him, only vaguely seeing a star flash by in his peripheral vision.
Xu Long swayed amidst the massive shockwave. As he unleashed his sword light to strike, he discovered that he had begun to perceive the rules of the world.
The insights gained from the immense sword energy are truly extraordinary. The power of this single sword strike is so formidable; what kind of prowess must a true master possess!
The severed illusory sword energy plummeted rapidly through the air, while the star formed by the World-Breaking Blade extinguished in an instant.
Xu Long also used all the power of his sword light in this attack. When he communicated with the rules of the world just now, the Magic Power in his body had a faint tendency to surge out, but Xu Long forcibly suppressed it. He could not launch the same attack for a short time, otherwise the Divine Punishment Lightning Tribulation would descend.
As the sword energy cascaded down, Xu Long's figure plummeted, sinking sharply into the basin. At that moment, the rushing water sound in his ears grew louder and louder.
Xu Long frowned. He had only vaguely glimpsed the darkness below: a cluster of broken walls and a towering doorway. The rest was buried in the yellow sand. He didn't know what existed in the dark underground that had been there for thousands of years, but there was definitely no rushing river flowing through it.
Xu Long dared not stop. After the sword light cut through the sword energy, the pressure on his body had decreased. In a flash, Xu Long dodged the falling sword energy and followed Deng Shouchong's banner.
A thunderous sound rang in my ears, and the falling sword energy exploded with a tremendous roar at the bottom of the basin.
A plume of smoke suddenly shot out from the darkness, and the energy from the impact combined with the chaotic energy in the air, instantly engulfing the basin with a massive shockwave.
The figures of the group moving forward swayed, and then, each guarding their mind amidst the energy, they headed towards the sand dunes ahead. The sword energy below was shattered one by one by Deng Shouchong and the others. Xu Long, following behind Bao Guang, finally reached the sand dunes on the opposite side of the basin with great difficulty.
After a few muffled thuds, plumes of dust rose from the massive sand dunes. The energy that erupted in the basin slammed everyone into the yellow sand, leaving several deep, human-shaped craters on the dunes.
When Deng Shouchong lowered the Dharma banner above his head and looked up at the city on the sand dunes, his eyes were filled with fervor, and his face showed no trace of the anxiety and solemnity he had felt in the basin.
After stepping onto the sand dune, he did not immediately enter the city. Instead, he used his divine sense to communicate with everyone. Suddenly, everyone leaped up in the yellow sand, and Ma Fang and the others finally reacted.
"Thank you for your help, Fellow Daoist Deng. We thought we had perished at the bottom of the basin, but we have unexpectedly reached the outskirts of the city!"
Everyone bowed to Deng Shouchong. Just now, Deng Shouchong had single-handedly resolved the crisis at the back. Only after surviving a life-or-death ordeal did they realize that Deng Shouchong truly had the qualities to be a leader.
Previously, they served under him only for Spirit Stone resources; this statement now is a sign of his approval.
Although Deng Shouchong knew that he hadn't actually resolved the crisis himself, the flattery from the crowd didn't stop him from showing off.
With a calm smile on his face and the Dharma banner slowly spinning in his hands, Deng Shouchong naturally exuded an air of strategic command among the crowd, as if he could handle any crisis.
He listened silently to the compliments from the crowd, nodding slightly from time to time to show humility. Although he did not utter a word, his composed expression spoke volumes.
After Deng Shouchong realized that someone seemed to be missing from the crowd. He frowned slightly and couldn't help but glance back at his back out of the corner of his eye.
Xu Long's smiling face was reflected in Deng Shouchong's peripheral vision for a moment, and Deng Shouchong suddenly felt that the compliments in his ears were tasteless.
This Mo Yu is actually behind me? That sword light and starlight attack just now was...
Suppressing his suspicions, Deng Shouchong at the city and transmitted his voice to the others again. They had just survived a calamity in the basin, and although they had now reached the sand dunes outside the city, they were not the first to rush into the city, anticipating the potential dangers.
At this point, it's important to stick together for warmth and support. Going to explore alone is not advisable. The sword energy just now served as the best example. Having had the first experience, everyone's wariness towards each other has been greatly reduced.
