Chapter 882: Chapter 430: Nine Styles of Heaven’s Execution Part 2

Pfft!

Xu Hao and the Sword-wielding Elder’s combined absolute defense shattered in an instant.

Especially the Sword-wielding Elder, who suffered additional injuries and could no longer maintain his state; his aura suddenly wilted.

Xiao Chen did not pass up this excellent opportunity, releasing a burst of black sword radiance that completely engulfed him.

Elsewhere,

With a long sword cutting across the sky, the Sky Slaughter Sword unleashed a vast swathe of Sword Light slashing downward, tearing through the Void.

Lu Xiangyuan, the Yi Jian Sect’s Supreme Elder, wielded his Dao Weapon long sword in tandem with others, matching the power of the Sky Slaughter Sword without an ounce of weakness.

Even as the battle continued, there were faint signs of suppressing it.

Although the Sky Slaughter Sword was a supreme Dao Weapon, it had once suffered severe damage. Its true body fractured, split into over a dozen parts, scattered across various domains of the Black-yellow Great World.

Add to that, without the manipulation of a sword expert, its ability to exert strength was also greatly discounted.

On the contrary, this Supreme Elder of the Yi Jian Sect was at the World Master Realm. The Dao Weapon long sword in his hand was the Yi Jian Sect’s Sect-defending Dao Weapon, and when wielded together, their power was formidable indeed.

Clang! Boom!

The powerful sword qi tore through the Thunder, cutting across the sky, and striking the Sky Slaughter Sword.

The ancient black sword vibrated wildly, with Patterns and Prohibitions flickering upon it, exuding a terrible deterrence.

“It’s definitely not an eight-seal Dao Weapon, it’s at least over nine seals!”

Lu Xiangyuan’s eyes revealed a fiery and greedy expression.

The higher the grade of a Dao Weapon, the rarer it is.

Take the Battle Domain, for example, the appearance of any seven-seal or higher Dao Weapon would incite fierce fighting and conflict.

Even the Yi Jian Sect, with its Immortal Realm inheritance and a World Master overseeing it, only barely possessed a Sect-defending Dao Weapon of a seven-seal threshold.

This goes to show just how rare Dao Weapons of seven seals and above are.

Dao Weapons are hard to come by, and to be able to suppress and subdue one not only could compensate for the Yi Jian Sect’s losses but also enhance their power further.

With this thought in mind, Lu Xiangyuan’s heart grew even more fiery.

A nine-seal Dao Weapon on its own possessed a strength comparable to a Heaven and Earth-level World Master!

If he acquired it, his strength would undoubtedly surge, giving him the upper hand over Heaven and Earth-level World Masters. By then, the Yi Jian Sect’s power would significantly increase, allowing them to vie for greater benefits in the Battle Domain.

Now was the best opportunity to capture this heavily damaged nine-seal Dao Weapon, which wasn’t wielding its full combat power.

Instantly–

Lu Xiangyuan’s offensive grew even more ferocious.

At the same time, the situation in the other battle gradually became clear.

Following the successive falls of the Sword-wielding Elder and others, Xu Hao, the Sect Master of the Yi Jian Sect, found it increasingly difficult to continue and could not contend with Xiao Chen.

What use was the peak of the Saint Venerate Realm when, within Xiao Chen’s fully engaged sword domain, he gradually fell into a disadvantage, showing signs of imminent defeat?

“The Sword-wielding Elder has fallen. If I, too, were to encounter misfortune, then the Yi Jian Sect would truly be finished.”

With this thought, Xu Hao finally made up his mind to flee.

Xiao Chen did not give chase. Although he overpowered the opposition with his sword domain’s burst, killing him was not an easy feat.

Moreover, he was not there to slay his foes but had other, more important matters to attend to.

As for those Yi Jian Sect cultivators trembling in terror, he did not even deign to give them a glance.

Upon the vast square of Yuan Chen Peak, Xiao Chen slowly descended.

He sensed the presence of the Sky Slaughter Sword, extremely strong.

“Where could it be?”

His mighty consciousness quickly covered the entire square and before long, he discovered something out of the ordinary.

On the square’s western side, there was an odd force of Prohibition pervading.

Clang!

A streak of Sword Light burst forth from the long sword, instantly slicing open that part of the square’s surface, revealing its true face. It turned out to be a peculiar Array, and at its center sat an ancient stele.

Is it sealed within this stele?

Xiao Chen strode forward boldly, the Dao Weapon long sword in his hand piercing forward fearlessly, paying no mind to the tsunami-like sword energy.

“Kill!” With a flick of the long sword, fearsome sword radiance soared out in an unbeatable attack. Even World Masters would dread its sharpness and steer clear of its edge.

“Boom!”

The array’s offensive crumbled in an instant, and Xiao Chen arrived nearby, reaching out to touch the Test Sword Stele, causing runes to burst forth in light.

“Hmm?”

In a flash, Xiao Chen’s face showed a surprised and delighted expression as a sequence of runes flowed along his arm and into his body, branding his heart and granting him a secret technique.

This was the inheritance secret technique contained in the fragments of the Sky Slaughter Sword hidden within the Test Sword Stele, an invaluable technique of swordsmanship–Extermination of the Heavens in Nine Moves.

This was undoubtedly a powerful swordsmanship secret technique, encompassing the extremes of speed and offensive power; it was the divine ability of the Immortal Swordmaster who once reigned supreme and unmatched.

The complete radiance of the runes reflected into Xiao Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, and he swiftly acquired this unrivaled sword technique–Extermination of the Heavens in Nine Moves.

Unlike others who receive an inheritance and must cultivate it, Xiao Chen could directly execute the technique without the need for training.

Of course, using it against enemies would be clumsy at first, and he would need to become familiar with it gradually.

The next moment, he used force with his hand, intending to shatter the stele and extract the fragment of the Sky Slaughter Sword sealed within.

However, to his surprise, he could not shake it; it seemed as intact and natural as if it had been there since the birth of the world, impossible to shatter.

“Do I really have to use brute force?” Xiao Chen frowned.

His sword domain unfolded, and a thick sword radiance burst forth from the long sword, striking the Test Sword Stele.

Still, he did not manage to move it in the slightest.

The Test Sword Stele was an invaluable treasure forged by the Yi Jian Sect Patriarch, who had contended with many Immortals.

Today, the Yi Jian Sect Patriarch had long perished, but the Test Sword Stele remained undamaged.

From this, it was evident the Test Sword Stele’s hardness and strength were beyond Xiao Chen’s ability to destroy.

Xiao Chen sighed, then once again placed his hand on the Test Sword Stele and poured his consciousness into it.

In an instant, the Test Sword Stele erupted in brilliance, condensing luminous sword light that rapidly swelled.

One zhang.

Two zhang.

…

Ten zhang.

It continued to swell violently.

When the sword light reached more than fifty zhang, it completely enveloped the entire plaza.

Then, with a crack, the Test Sword Stele split into several sections as if blossoming into a flower.

In its center, a luminous sphere enveloped a fragment that soared into the sky with a thunderous boom, circling and gliding in the air.

Long imprisoned in a cage, now returned to nature at last.

Trapped within the Test Sword Stele for tens of thousands of years, it was finally free, exulting like a child, indulging in this moment of liberty.

Lu Yun was overjoyed. This fragment was much larger than the one he had obtained in the Killing Domain; integrating it with the Sky Slaughter Sword would greatly shorten the time needed to restore his former peak strength.

However, he needed to make a swift escape now; having caused such a commotion in the Yi Jian Sect, the Wanxiang Holy Land and the Taiyi Sect among other forces would soon take notice.

“Come!”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and the fragment of the Sky Slaughter Sword fell into his palm, supremely tranquil, as if returning to the embrace of his kin.

His gaze fell on the Test Sword Stele, which had opened like a blooming flower, and he thought internally, “A material that can suppress a fragment of the Sky Slaughter Sword and remain unharmed under such a powerful attack of mine must be extremely top-notch.”

After collecting it, he flew towards the direction where the battle raged.

At the moment, the Sky Slaughter Sword was completely overpowered by Lu Xiangyuan’s fierce assault and could not escape.

“This old geezer is quite strong,” Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he charged towards him.

Before his arrival, his sword light was already on its way.

A black rainbow tore through the sky, causing Lu Xiangyuan’s heart to skip a beat. He had to turn and defend, his hand moving and sword falling, colliding his sword Qi with the black rainbow.

With a loud boom, the black rainbow shattered and the sword Qi disintegrated with it.

Xiao Chen’s figure flew backward like a swift swallow. Facing a genuine World Master Realm power, he had to temporarily avoid the edge. Even more, the opponent was not just newly ascended to the World Master Realm, and his Dao Weapon long sword allowed him to unleash his full strength.

For a sword expert, having a suitable Dao Weapon on hand could make a difference in the strength displayed.

Previously, the Sect Master and the Elder who managed the swords in Yi Jian Sect who were slain by Xiao Chen–if they had powerful Dao Weapons, they might not have been defeated, much less end up dead or fleeing.

Indeed, their downfall was due not only to a disparity in strength but also to the suppression by Dao Weapons.
