The Sword Slaughtered His Foes and Shattered Their Courage
Liu Yi wielded the Immortal Sword and the Heaven-Opening Sword, unleashing a series of Space-Rending Sword Qi that slashed towards the Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator.
However, after two more people fell, this group gathered together, forming a simple formation to jointly resist his attacks, clearly intending to exhaust his True Power.
He frowned slightly; given the current situation, he could neither kill them nor intimidate them in the short term.
More importantly, the initial integration of one's "essence, energy, spirit, and Dao" into a unified state is too mentally taxing and cannot be maintained for long.
A thought suddenly crossed his mind, and he burst into laughter. "You can keep wasting your time here, I'm taking my leave!"
Before he finished speaking, he quickly flew away into the distance.
"Oh no! He's trying to escape! After him!"
Hu Mowei and the other Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators reacted instantly and chased after Liu Yi in the direction he had fled.
Liu Yi swiftly flew towards the edge of the Yin-Yang Plain. Seeing that the Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators behind him were flying at different speeds due to their different cultivation levels, and their distance from him was gradually increasing, a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.
He suddenly turned around and charged straight at Hu Mowei, who had the highest cultivation level and the fastest speed, and sneered:
"Black Tiger Demon, my tiger-skin coat is still on you; it's time to give it to me!"
Before he finished speaking, he swung his two swords in quick succession, unleashing four Space-Rending Sword Qi with the force to cleave the heavens and split the earth, directly striking his opponent.
Seeing Liu Yi suddenly turn around and attack, Hu Mowei's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly retreated.
In a haste, he gripped the tiger-head broadsword tightly with both hands and slashed four times in quick succession. Four domineering sword energies, accompanied by the roar of a tiger, met the Sword Qi.
"Don't think you can kill me just because you have Law Treasure. Today I'll show you that I, Hu Mowei, am no pushover!"
"Boom!"
The Space-Rending Sword Qi instantly annihilated the saber energy, and with unstoppable force, it sliced through the tiger-headed broadsword, tore apart his protective armor, and nearly cleaved him into eight pieces.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Hu Mowei screamed in agony, spitting out demonic blood. He could no longer maintain his human form and transformed into a giant black tiger nearly a thousand meters long.
Liu Yi stared at the four deep, bone-revealing sword wounds on Black Tiger's body:
"Clearly, you're a sick tiger. What a waste of my tiger-skin coat; I can't use it now."
After saying that, another Space-Rending Sword Qi was unleashed, directly blasting the big black tiger into dust.
He then flashed forward and pounced on the other Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators. His twin swords flew, unleashing a series of Space-Rending Sword Qi. Screams of agony rose and fell, and within moments, five Tribulation Transcendence Realm perished.
"Oh no! He's faking it to escape; he's trying to separate us. Everyone, quickly stick together! Don't let him pick us off one by one!"
The surviving cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm were terrified to see their fellow cultivators dying one after another, and they hurriedly cried out and moved closer together.
Yang Jingxing looked at Hu Mowei, who was also at the Peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and realized that Liu Yi had easily killed him. A sense of lingering fear welled up in his heart.
He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had decisively withdrawn from the competition for the Immortal Sword, otherwise he would probably be dead by now.
But he was still puzzled. Liu Yi clearly had the Five Elements Spirit Root, and he hadn't used his "Spirit-Seizing Great Art" to steal other people's Heavenly Spirit Root, so how did he break through to the Void Return Realm?
Moreover, the opponent's aura was strange, and the energy he used did not resemble spiritual power, but rather the True Qi of ordinary martial arts.
Could it be that he practices martial arts?
Yang Jingxing immediately shook his head, rejecting the idea.
Having studied martial arts in his youth, he knew that there were no methods to break through the Golden Core Realm in mortal martial arts.
Mei Kong stared blankly as Liu Yi successively annihilated those at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and exclaimed in shock:
"This is insane! Where did this monster come from? It's so ferocious!"
In the degenerate age of the Immortal Realm, those at the Tribulation Transcendence Realm are already at the pinnacle, yet they are now being slaughtered like ants—it's terrifying!
His eyes darted around, noticing the scattered storage Law Treasure and Spirit Artifact on the battlefield. He chuckled softly.
He darted forward stealthily, intending to collect all the scattered treasures:
"My bad luck is now affecting me too; finding a Law Treasure is harder than climbing to heaven."
The treasure is right in front of me, I refuse to believe I can't get it!
Seeing the remaining Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators huddled together, Liu Yi immediately withdrew his attack to dodge their assault.
He immediately tried to use the same trick to escape and lure the enemy into pursuit, but this time, the enemy did not scatter; instead, they all chased after him.
He frowned slightly. He was so entangled that he couldn't even open a portal to escape. It seemed that the only way to get away safely was to defeat or kill them first.
I originally thought that once I broke through to the Dao Soul Realm, I wouldn't need to use the Heaven-Opening Divine Ability to defeat the enemy. But now it seems that I'll still have to rely on this move to annihilate them this time.
Having made up his mind, Liu Yi spun around and Heaven-Opening Divine Ability, wielding the Immortal Sword and the Heaven-Opening Sword.
Two beams of Heaven-Opening Sword, carrying the supreme power of Heaven-Opening, hurtled towards the enemy at an angle.
The remaining Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators, seeing the Heaven-Opening Sword carrying the power to create and Destruction everything, and witnessing the creation and destruction of worlds wherever it passed, cried out in alarm:
"Damn it! He's only at the Void Return Realm, where did he get so much spiritual power? He should have run out by now, how can he still unleash such a deadly move?"
"The attack is terrifying! Defend with all your might, or you'll surely die!"
"Everyone, use all your trump Law Treasure and secret weapons! Otherwise, nobody will survive today!"
Amidst the exclamations of surprise, everyone moved without pause, revealing all their trump cards.
A barrage of attacks, including Law Treasure Law Technique, rained down upon the two beams of Heaven-Opening Sword.
"Boom!"
The roar shook the heavens and the earth, like a thunderclap from the ninth heaven.
A massive spatial rift opened up above the Yin-Yang Plain, and the Heaven-Opening Sword crushed all attacks. Although its power was greatly reduced, its residual force was still incredibly strong, and it hurtled towards everyone.
"Ah! Help!"
Screams of agony rose and fell; some were instantly killed by the flash of the sword.
Many more were swallowed by the spatial rifts, torn apart by the spatial turbulence, or barely managed to resist before disappearing into the depths of the spatial turbulence, their fates unknown.
Two Late Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm and one Middle Stage of the Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivator escaped by chance because they were far from the attack range.
He was covered in wounds and blood, desperately fleeing into the distance, begging for mercy loudly:
"Fellow Daoist, spare our lives! We will never dare to steal the Immortal Sword again."
Liu Yi intended to pursue and kill the three on the spot, but a spatial rift blocked his way.
They used their escape techniques to flee frantically, disappearing from sight in the blink of an eye. It was too late to catch them, so we had no choice but to give up.
The onlookers witnessed Liu Yi's earth-shattering attack, which instantly reduced the Tribulation Transcendence Realm cultivators to only three, who fled in disarray. Those who fell into the spatial rift were in even greater dire straits.
Everyone stared in disbelief, their scalps tingling, and gasps of surprise rose and fell.
"That's too brutal! How can someone with only the Void Return Realm cultivation possess such terrifying combat power?"
Could it be Law Treasure? But even if the immortal sword is incredibly powerful, given his cultivation level, there's absolutely no way he could unleash its full potential.
"This is no mere Void Return Realm! It's more like the Mahayana Realm, or even an immortal!"
"What a monster! In terms of combat strength alone, he's probably no weaker than someone in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and might even be stronger."
"A peerless powerhouse is about to rise! With this combat strength, as long as he steadily breaks through in his subsequent cultivation levels, he has a very good chance of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation."
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly and withdrew from the competition for the immortal sword, otherwise I would already be dead and gone by now."
"If this powerful figure wants to establish a force in the Yin-Yang Ruins, with his strength, unifying the entire Yin-Yang Ruins, except for the core area, would be a piece of cake."
"By now, most of the powerful figures from all sides of Yin-Yang Ruins have been killed by him."
Even if he were to declare his intention to unify Yin-Yang Ruins now, no one would dare utter a single word of dissent.
