Sword Pressure at the Ultimate Limit! Slaying a Divine Sea Seventh Level Against the Odds!

The desolate mountains stretch to the horizon, where fierce winds howl.

The deep red light illuminated Chen Xuanhai's old face, which was filled with horror and despair.

retreat!

You must get a refund!

This was the first thought that arose in Chen Xuanhai's mind.

He burned through thirty years of his lifespan, forcibly pushing his cultivation level to the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level. He originally thought this would be enough to sweep across the entire field and kill Chu Yunfei on the spot.

But to his utter surprise, the black-clad youth before him was like an abyss without any bottom.

Divine Sea Realm Fifth Layer!

Combined with that strangely powerful physique and terrifying swordsmanship, Chen Xuanhai's newly formed belief in victory was shattered in an instant.

"Walk!"

Without any hesitation, Chen Xuanhai used the violent spiritual power gained from burning his lifespan to not only not attack forward, but instead concentrated it all on his legs.

Cangyun Shadow Transformation Steps!

His figure instantly transformed into nine blurry, azure afterimages, frantically fleeing towards the imperial city.

He would be safe as long as he escaped back to the imperial city and returned to the Cangyun Sect's base!

Can they escape?

Chu Yunfei's eyes were as cold as knives, and he stomped his foot hard in the air.

The Divine Movement Art was pushed to its limit.

Only a shrill sonic boom remained in the void before Chu Yunfei's figure traversed dozens of feet, appearing in front of Chen Xuanhai's main body as if by teleportation.

It's incredibly fast.

"You little beast, get out of my way!"

Chen Xuanhai was terrified. Seeing that his path was blocked, a look of desperate madness flashed in his eyes.

" Cangyun Heaven-Rending Claw!"

He formed his right hand into a claw, his entire cultivation at the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level mixed with the bloodthirsty aura that burned away his lifespan, and fiercely grabbed at Chu Yunfei's chest.

Five blood-red claws, each tens of feet long, tore through the air, emitting a piercing shriek. Wherever they passed, the hard rock walls were sliced open like tofu.

This was his desperate, all-or-nothing strike.

Faced with this devastating claw strike, Chu Yunfei not only did not dodge, but instead charged straight at it.

The Abyss-Devouring Sword in his hand emitted a clear and high-pitched sword cry.

Within his dantian, a vast, ocean-like liquid spiritual energy surged wildly into the sword's body. The Boundless Creation Scripture was pushed to its limit, transforming all the violent power into pure sharpness.

The Sea-Overturning Ninefold Sword!

First sword, second sword, third sword...

The four sword auras overlapped in a fraction of a second, and in the void, a dark golden sword aura thirty feet long suddenly took shape, surrounded by destructive crimson flames.

However, facing the desperate counterattack of the Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level, a fierce glint flashed in Chu Yunfei's eyes, and his expression became resolute.

That's not enough.

The fourth sword strike might defeat him, but it's unlikely to be a fatal blow.

If Chen Xuanhai continues to delay, the Great Heaven-Burning Art will soon expire.

"Then... the fifth sword!"

Chu Yunfei silently shouted to himself.

He had only deduced a rough form of this sword strike within the time and space of the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate, and had never actually used it in actual combat.

But at this moment, he forcibly provoked it!

"Overturn the sea... Void Shattering!"

boom!

The fifth sword stance was forcibly superimposed!

In that instant, Chu Yunfei felt a tearing sound as his meridians were overwhelmed by the pressure, and excruciating pain swept through his entire body.

That body, already comparable to a high-grade spiritual weapon, had several bloody gashes appear on its skin, instantly staining its black robe red with blood.

The power of this sword strike had already reached the absolute limit that his body and meridians could withstand.

If he is not careful, before his sword kills the enemy, he himself will be torn to pieces by this extremely violent backlash.

But Chu Yunfei's spirit remained as steady as a rock.

His unwavering will, honed through two lifetimes, firmly restrained the rampaging destructive power within him, forcing it all into the Abyss-Devouring Sword.

Buzz...!

Heaven and earth seemed to fall silent at that moment.

The thirty-foot-long dark gold sword aura suddenly compressed, transforming into a three-foot-long, extremely condensed, deep red thread.

Where the thin line passed, the space rippled violently, visible to the naked eye.

"No--! What kind of swordsmanship is this?!"

Chen Xuanhai let out a desperate and shrill scream.

The five hundred-foot-long blood-red claws he unleashed vanished the instant they touched the deep red line, like first snow meeting boiling oil—they evaporated and annihilated without a sound, not even lasting half a breath.

The thin line, its momentum undiminished, traverses space and arrives in an instant.

quick!

It transcends sight and even the perception of the divine.

Chen Xuanhai couldn't even muster the strength to circulate his spiritual energy to defend himself; he could only watch helplessly as the deep red line pierced his chest with pinpoint accuracy.

Pfft.

A very faint muffled thud.

A deep red thread pierced through Chen Xuanhai's chest, bringing out a handful of scalding blood, which trailed a magnificent crimson ribbon in the night sky.

Chen Xuanhai's figure suddenly froze in mid-air.

He looked down, staring incredulously at his chest.

There, a transparent blood hole, about the size of a bowl, was clearly visible.

The five internal organs have been completely reduced to nothingness.

Strangely, his dantian and dantian remained intact under the exquisite control of that sword strike, and the Divine Sea energy within them continued to surge violently.

"You... your sword..."

Chen Xuanhai stared wide-eyed at Chu Yunfei standing behind him, large gushes of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushing from his mouth.

He could never understand it, not even until his death.

How could a disgraced disciple from a second-rate sect possess such unfathomable and extraordinary abilities?

What kind of monster has the Cangyun Sect provoked?!

"I told you, tonight both of you will die."

Chu Yunfei did not turn around, but coldly sheathed his sword.

Click.

The crisp sound of the longsword being sheathed was the last sound Chen Xuanhai heard.

Life was completely cut off.

Chen Xuanhai's withered body swayed slightly, then fell like a heavy boulder from dozens of feet in the air, crashing heavily onto the barren mountain rocks and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Chen Xuanhai, an elder of the Cangyun Sect Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer, has fallen!

A strong wind blew by.

The entire barren mountain has returned to a deathly silence.

call...

In mid-air, Chu Yunfei exhaled a long breath of stale air.

The next moment, the dazzling deep red mark between his eyebrows receded as quickly as the tide.

The Great Heaven-Burning Art's duration has expired.

boom!

An unimaginable emptiness and exhaustion instantly swept over Chu Yunfei's entire body.

His spiritual energy was depleted, his blood and qi were exhausted, and his soul was experiencing a series of weak, dull pains, like being pricked by needles.

Even more serious is his meridian system.

Forcibly unleashing the rudimentary form of the Sea-Overturning Ninefold Sword exceeded the limits of his current physical body, causing fine cracks to appear in many meridians within his body, and the pain caused his muscles to spasm uncontrollably.

His right hand, holding the Abyss-Devouring Sword, was even trembling slightly.

"You brat, are you crazy?!"

Within his mind, Xiaoxiao Dragon's anxious and angry voice rang out.

"You dare to forcibly stack the fifth move in actual combat when you haven't even mastered it? If your meridians had completely collapsed just now, you would have exploded and died even before that old guy made a move!"

Chu Yunfei took a deep breath, forcibly stabilizing his trembling body, and thought to himself, " Divine Sea Realm Seventh Level counterattack. If I don't use the fifth move, I won't be able to kill him within a few dozen breaths."

"Once the secret technique's duration ends, I'll be the one who dies."

Xiaoxiao Dragon remained silent for a moment, then could only snort helplessly, "I don't know where you learned this madness from... But, those two old guys, Divine Sea Realm Fourth Level and the Divine Sea Realm Sixth Layer, both died at your hands. If this gets back to the capital, the whole city will probably be turned upside down."

Chu Yunfei did not reply. His face was as pale as paper, and he swayed before landing on the ground.

Despite his weakness, his eyes remained clear.

Despite the excruciating pain tearing through his meridians, Chu Yunfei walked step by step to Han Kui's body, which had been cut in half at the waist, bent down, and pulled the storage ring off Han Kui's finger.

Then, he walked to Chen Xuanhai's still warm corpse and took his storage ring as well.

The life savings of these two Divine Sea Realm elders must be of considerable value.

But for Chu Yunfei, the most important spoils of war were not these spirit stones and pills.

Instead, they were the remains of two powerful cultivators at the Divine Sea Realm!

Especially the vast spiritual sea within their dantian that has not yet dissipated.

"Receive."

With a thought, Chu Yunfei activated the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate deep within his sea of consciousness.

In the next instant, Han Kui's two severed body parts, Chen Xuanhai's corpse with a hole pierced in his chest, and the remaining essence blood on the ground around them were all sucked into the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate.

Inside the Divine Cauldron, the azure flames of creation quietly rose and completely engulfed the two corpses.

The flesh, bones, and meridians of the Divine Sea Realm, especially the spiritual sea essence brimming with immense power, began to be purified and refined layer by layer in the flames...

After doing all this, Chu Yunfei slowly straightened up, but did not rush to leave.

He turned his head and looked towards a dark mountain ridge in the northeast.

There was nothing there, not a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation, nor any leak of aura; it was utterly silent.

But Chu Yunfei's gaze seemed to pierce through layers of darkness, precisely locking onto a certain spot.

His voice was hoarse from exhaustion, yet remained calm, even carrying a hint of sarcasm.

"You've been watching for so long, don't you plan to come out and greet me?"
