Chapter 1767: Chapter 1767: With One’s Own Power, Facing the Rain of Thousands of Swords Alone!

Every mystic realm inheritance often contains unnoticed details that require attention.

This includes the scenery, connections between trials, and the words spoken by certain individuals.

Of course, sometimes it might not be as complicated.

But being cautious doesn’t hurt.

This was the principle the master imparted to them at the time.

He claimed it was a truth derived from countless novels he had read before.

Though they didn’t quite understand what it meant, after years of traversing secret realms, it seemed reasonable.

Whatever the master says, just follow.

Starting from the first trial, the test of human nature, this trial would likely have some special connection to the first.

Otherwise, why would there be divisions based on the forms of trials, such as Shanshui Hall, Hegemony Hall, and Mou Tian Hall?

It’s nothing more than a fabricated illusionary world.

Why would the armored man emphasize matters beyond the test itself?

If surrendering the Divine Weapon would make the opposing forces retreat and pass the trial, why did the armored man deliberately explain that surrendering the weapon would plunge millions into misery?

Ye Qiubai asked, “Where is the Divine Weapon?”

The armored man froze for a moment, then pulled out a flag and handed it to Ye Qiubai, explaining, “The Rebirth Flag. With this flag, you can enslave common people and low-realm Buddhist cultivators without expending an ounce of soul power.”

At this point, the armored man spoke solemnly, “If the Rebirth Flag falls into the wrong hands, not only our kingdom’s people but all commoners across the world will face merciless control.”

Here we go again.

The armored man’s words had nothing to do with the current test, yet he insistently explained this point once more.

Just as Ye Qiubai took hold of the Rebirth Flag.

In the surrounding independent spaces akin to Ye Qiubai’s, some cultivators had already surrendered the flag to opposing forces, who subsequently retreated.

Soon after, those cultivators disappeared from their respective independent spaces.

It wasn’t clear whether they had completed the test or not.

Suddenly.

Swords burst through the clouds above the sky, fiercely slashing toward the city walls!

Thousands of swords shattering the city!

On the city walls, hundreds and thousands of defenders had no chance to react, reduced to minced flesh amidst desperate, harrowing screams.

Blood splattered everywhere!

The scalding, fresh blood doused Ye Qiubai’s white robes, staining them with morbidly beautiful crimson flowers.

Touching the warmth of the blood on his face and listening to the heart-wrenching cries.

Witnessing a scene akin to purgatory.

The enemy’s elite forces had made their move.

From the initially warm blood, now nearing icy cold.

From the pitiful and woeful screams that never ceased.

From those despairing gazes, silently staring as their bodies were carved into countless pieces by the Heavenly swords.

Everything was overwhelmingly real.

The armored man’s anguished expression embodied despair.

“City Lord! Command us–the kingdom’s soldiers are willing to charge to their deaths rather than perish on these walls having done nothing!”

Ye Qiubai sighed faintly.

Never mind.

Sometimes unraveling rules holds no significance before one’s inner conviction.

After all, his heart had already chosen.

Ye Qiubai waved his hand resolutely and declared, “All cultivators in the Divine Realm or higher, heed my command! Resist the swords with full strength! Those gravely injured retreat immediately for treatment, while the lightly injured take their place!”

“Endure for seven days and you shall pass this trial.”

Ye Qiubai had clearly selected this path.

Within the Xuanyuan Clan, five individuals likewise chose this path, including Xuanyuan Che.

The members of the Xuanyuan Clan naturally kept their eyes on Ye Qiubai, curious about the choice he would make.

Upon noticing Ye Qiubai preparing to defend the city, everyone but Xuanyuan Che chuckled coldly.

“Oh? Seems he’s figured out the mystery behind this trial.”

“So what if he has? Defending the city for seven days is impossible given his cultivation realm strength and magical treasures at hand.”

“Exactly. We relied on the family’s treasures to pass this trial with little difficulty, but what heritage does a barbarian from The Mortal Realm possess?”

Xuanyuan Che heard their remarks, sighed softly, then furrowed his brow and said, “Refrain from using the family treasures, and rely on your own strength–this is an excellent chance for self-improvement!”

The group nodded in agreement.

However, fewer participants had evidently chosen this method of testing. Nearly half the cultivators had already surrendered the Divine Weapon and exited the illusionary space.

Ignoring the others.

The opposing Monarch God Realm commander sneered, “Wishful resistance? In that case, perish in despair!”

As he spoke, the commander thrust his longsword forward!

The war drums thundered intensely!

“All troops, hear my command! The enemy is barely holding on–storm the city walls with full force!”

Amidst the deafening war drums, the opposing Underworld Palace soldiers roared furiously, charging at the city walls!

Ye Qiubai grasped the Yuncang Sword, rising steadily into the air.

Here.

Both allies and enemies seemed to be sword cultivators.

If so…

Ye Qiubai pointed his Yuncang Sword toward the sky!

A burst of Sword Dao Power of Law sword qi pierced the clouds!

The threads of sword qi, fine as misty rain, rained down upon the battlefield!

Covering both allied and opposing soldiers beneath its veil!

Allied sword cultivators, feeling the sword qi rain upon them, were momentarily stunned, then rejoiced!

The sword qi provided a noticeable amplification to their Sword Dao!

Meanwhile, the opposing forces found themselves suppressed by the sword qi!

“Sword Dao Power of Law? What kind of domain is this?!” The enemy soldiers looked visibly terrified.

All were sword cultivators.

For Ye Qiubai, this was excellent news.

With the blessing of the Sword Domain, his chances of victory increased significantly.

“Do not panic!” The enemy commander shouted loudly. “Forward strike troops, keep advancing! Rear troops, use sword qi to siege the city, disrupt their defense!”

As these words fell.

Once more, countless swords broke through the clouds and descended upon the city walls!

The majority concentrated around Ye Qiubai!

Ye Qiubai raised his head, composed and untroubled.

“Do not leave the city. I will handle these swords. All of you focus on using sword qi to disrupt the enemy’s charge!”

He calmly set down the Yuncang Sword.

In its place, a sword box materialized in front of him.

The Aged Golden Sword Case!

When Ye Qiubai gently tapped the sword box.

The case opened from both sides, unleashing nine swords that shot upward!

Heading toward the descending blades!

These swords were merely manifestations of sword qi.

And now, the swords within Ye Qiubai’s Aged Golden Sword Case–cultivated with sword spirits and strengthened under Lu Changsheng’s enhancement–had long surpassed their former level!

Using the Aged Golden Sword Case to control the swords simultaneously.

The Sword Dao Power of Law enveloped the nine swords within the Sword Domain.

The thousands of swords raining from the sky were blocked as if by nine shields!

Not a single blade managed to penetrate beyond Ye Qiubai’s position!

Alone, he faced thousands upon thousands of falling sword rain!
