Defying the Odds to Slay a Demon Race Supreme, Revealing Monstrous Talent
Some brought out powerful treasures,
trying to block Gu Xuanjin's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.
Others tried to flee through the void,
only to find the space sealed and their souls locked onto.
There was nowhere to escape!
At that moment,
Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin came crashing down like a torrential rain, carrying the ultimate sharpness of the world.
In an instant, screams erupted on all sides.
Aside from Lu Chen, who was at the Supreme Realm, and the Five Rampancies Temple successor,
as well as the Divine Firmament Mountain successor, whose own defenses were monstrously formidable,
who were still struggling to hold on,
the other two suffered grievous injuries in an instant.
Their treasures and other life-saving measures
were like paper before the countless swords filling the sky, shattering at a touch!
Just then,
Gu Xuanjin suddenly sensed that, in the void around Lu Chen and the others,
several powerful presences were faintly leaking out.
Two or three of them were at the Quasi-Emperor level.
Gu Xuanjin knew
that, with Lu Chen and the others at death's door,
their protectors could no longer hold back and wanted to reveal themselves to protect them.
Unfortunately,
no matter how capable the protectors behind you were,
they could not protect you today!
A cold glint flashed in Gu Xuanjin's eyes.
He summoned Gu Beimo, Gu Changqing, Chu Xuheng, and the other two Peak Quasi-Emperor experts.
"Deal with those people's protectors for this divine son."
Meanwhile,
seeing that their successors could no longer hold on,
the protectors of Lu Chen and the others had no choice but to act.
Several powerful figures stepped out of the void,
intending to block Gu Xuanjin's Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.
But the moment they appeared,
Gu Beimo and the others met them with attacks at full force!
Caught off guard,
the two weaker protectors were struck dead on the spot, body and soul obliterated.
Although the other three survived,
they were severely injured and could hardly concern themselves with anything else.
Never mind protecting their successors; they could barely save themselves now.
Seeing this,
Lu Chen and the others felt their hearts turn half cold.
Now that their respective protectors were in peril,
they clearly had no time to rescue them.
A dozen breaths later,
the successors of the Abyssless Cave Ruins and Ten-Thousand-Li Cloud and Mist Ridge were the first to fall.
Even after exhausting all their trump cards, they could not withstand the rain of swords filling the sky.
Countless blades pierced their bodies and shredded their souls, killing them outright.
Even Lu Chen could not suppress a pained grunt, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden blood!
His breath was ragged and weak, and he was in a sorry state.
Blood covered his body, which was marked with sword wounds of every size and depth.
A trace of ultimate sharpness lingered in the wounds,
preventing him from even healing his injuries.
The Divine Firmament Mountain successor nearby was no better off.
He was equally disheveled,
and the ghastly wounds covering his body were terrifying to behold.
The Five Rampancies Temple successor was in far worse shape.
He gasped for breath, his face twisted, his left arm severed and his whole body a bloody mess.
His defenses were far inferior to those of Lu Chen and the other man.
If he had not possessed enough treasures and trump cards, he would have been killed long ago.
But by now, his trump cards had also run dry.
Less than ten breaths later,
Lu Chen and the other two could no longer hold out.
First the Five Rampancies Temple successor, then the Divine Firmament Mountain successor, and finally Lu Chen
were all killed by the swords that struck like a raging storm!
The three remaining protectors' eyes turned red at the sight.
They went utterly mad,
abandoning defense to attack with vicious ferocity, staking their lives in the fight!
But what storms had Gu Beimo and the others not weathered?
They attacked and defended in an orderly fashion, entirely unaffected.
Once those protectors had spent most of their strength in their frenzy,
Gu Beimo and the others unleashed a vast force in an instant
and dealt with the three of them with ease.
As for Gu Xuanjin,
his battle against the Supreme Realm experts
ended in less than the time it took an incense stick to burn, in an invincible display of overwhelming force.
Meanwhile,
Lü Yifei had already attacked Lu Ling as soon as Gu Xuanjin made his move.
But Lu Ling's talent was far more monstrous than that of his third brother, Lu Jun.
Moreover, he had been doted on by the entire Golden Crow Clan since childhood.
Nurtured with countless resources, his strength was not to be underestimated.
In a short time,
even Lü Yifei found it difficult to kill him.
Seeing Gu Xuanjin, who had returned to his throne, turn his gaze over,
Lü Yifei's heart sank, and he felt somewhat ashamed.
The divine son had already dealt with his Supreme Realm opponents,
yet he had still failed to take down someone at the same realm after so long.
To end the fight quickly and keep the divine son from being too disappointed in him,
Lü Yifei gritted his teeth.
He burned his essence blood and called upon the power of the Ghost God Sky Piercer, fighting with everything he had.
As a desolate, ancient presence spread,
the boundless Power of the Ghost God rippled out of the void in an instant,
surging and raging like a vast sea and mighty river!
It formed an ancient battlefield where immortals had fallen and Gods and Devils lay buried,
enveloping both Lü Yifei and Lu Ling.
Lu Ling's expression changed at once.
In this domain, he sensed the deadly threat of death.
In the void,
a Demon Race Quasi-Emperor suddenly appeared.
He burned his own laws and rushed straight toward Lu Ling, intending to carry him away.
But Gu Xuanjin had long expected Lu Ling's protector to appear as well.
The instant the Quasi-Emperor showed himself,
he was met by the combined killing attack of five Peak Quasi-Emperor experts.
He did not even have time to scream before his soul was destroyed!
At that moment, on the ancient battlefield,
behind Lü Yifei,
a phantom of a devil god appeared, its head reaching the heavens and its feet planted on the earth.
The figure was like a god of war,
clad in ancient battle armor and gripping the Ghost God Sky Piercer.
Its devilish might surged to the heavens, fierce and vast!
Demon God Marquis Wen!
Lü Yifei swung the Ghost God Sky Piercer and attacked Lu Ling with a thunderous blow.
The phantom of Marquis Wen followed suit, slashing with the enormous Ghost God Sky Piercer in its hand!
The vast Power of the Ghost God reflected a terrifying scene of gods vanishing and immortals spilling blood.
It was ferocious beyond measure,
enough to destroy heaven and earth and make hearts tremble!
Lu Ling brought out a long saber that shone with brilliant golden light from end to end.
On one side of the blade was a lifelike, domineering Golden Crow.
On the other were primeval mountains and rivers, the earth and its vegetation.
It had been specially forged for him by the Demon Emperor at his tenth-birthday feast:
a replica of the Golden Crow Clan's ultimate Emperor weapon, the Vast Sun God-Slaying Saber.
Though a replica, it was still a Quasi-Emperor weapon of extraordinary power.
With Lu Ling's cultivation,
he could not activate this Quasi-Emperor weapon at all.
But Lu Ling forced out all the Golden Crow origin within his body,
triggering the restriction inside the long saber that shared the same origin,
and unleashing most of the Quasi-Emperor weapon's power!
In an instant,
heaven and earth trembled, and thunder arose in the void!
The long saber blazed with endless, dazzling golden divine flames
that swept in every direction like a storm.
After sacrificing all his origin,
Lu Ling's face was pale, and he was weakened to the extreme.
He knew he was certain to die today.
Even if he did not die at Lü Yifei's hands,
Gu Xuanjin was still outside, watching like a tiger eyeing its prey. There was no escape.
But he still chose to fight with all his might,
only so that he could die with a little more dignity.
The next moment,
Lu Ling let out a furious shout.
With the last of his strength,
he unleashed a slash that made hearts shudder.
It cleaved heaven, shattered earth, and destroyed the sky!
Its golden edge was brilliant, blazing and domineering.
The blazing golden flames filling the sky turned into the phantom of a gigantic Golden Crow.
It shrieked as it charged toward the heaven-and-earth-destroying Ghost God Sky Piercer.
