Chapter 430 – Heavenpath Part 3/3 (1/2)

The disciples of the Sword Sect on the ground below didn’t dare hesitate at all. They drew their swords under the lead of Su Muzhe and the other Supreme Elders of the Sword Sect, and then a few tens of thousands of swords fused into one and shot violently towards the enormous black finger. Under such circ.u.mstances, the members of the Sword Sect naturally didn’t dare hold back at all, and they’d utilized all their strength.

The might of the united forces of tens of thousands of profounders was naturally not weak, and the enormous sword formed from their swords seemed to even be capable of stabbing a hole in the sky as it shot violently towards the enormous black finger.

After that, another dazzling strand of light that was over 1km wide covered the sky as it shot soared up!

Rumble!

Two world shaking explosions resounded. It was like the sky was about to be blasted into pieces while s.p.a.ce trembled violently. Countless strands of sword qi and black energy swept towards the surroundings and descended towards the ground, causing an enormous bottomless and pitch black hole to immediately appear on the ground.

The countless disciples of the Sword Sect revealed a smile once more when their joint forces had destroyed the enormous black finger. As far as they were concerned, this should be success. However, they noticed that Daoist Zui’s countenance was pale while numerous cracks had appeared throughout the Azure Sword. It seemed like the Azure Sword would shatter at any moment!

The Heavenpath required one to endure 9 attacks in order to traverse it, yet now, merely 2 attacks had pa.s.sed. In other words, there were another 7 attacks, yet he’d practically already utilized all his strength. So, how would he resist the next 7 attacks?

All those years ago, the Founding Ancestor rampaged back and forth through this path. Exactly what sort of strength did he possess?

Daoist Zui shook his head and strode forward, and he’d moved another 3km to arrive high above amidst the clouds. No matter what, he had no way to retreat now, so it was either success or death!

The pitch black rift in the sky expanded slowly while countless strands of horrifying black energy seeped out from within it. Everywhere the black energy pa.s.sed, s.p.a.ce would actually collapse immediately. However, that same s.p.a.ce was swiftly repaired by the Laws of the heavens and the earth as well. But that same s.p.a.ce would collapse once more as soon as it was repaired, and this cycle continued endlessly.

This time, the pitch black rift didn’t launch an attack. It just expanded gradually as if something was about to emerge from within it.

When they noticed that it hadn’t come to an end yet, the hearts of all the disciples from the Sword Sect on the ground below had constricted.

Su Qings.h.i.+’s beautiful brows knit together from a certain spot within the Sword Sect. She was naturally clearly aware of what sort of situation the Sword Sect would face if Daoist Zui wasn’t able to succeed. It wouldn’t be going too far to say that the Sword Sect was doomed! Even though her father was a Monarch Realm expert as well, he was only at the first rank, so he was utterly incapable of going against Yuan Tian and the others.

Is the Sword Sect really going to be doomed just like that?

Suddenly, the s.p.a.ce in front of her warped, and then Su Muzhe appeared there.

“Qings.h.i.+, use the secret pa.s.sageway to leave the sect later. Once you escape, then leave the southern territory and never come back!” Su Muzhe face had an indescribably desolate expression on it, and his eyes were filled with gloominess.

Su Qings.h.i.+ asked lightly “Is there really no chance at all?”

Su Muzhe shook his head and said, “Both your Martial Uncle and I underestimated the Heavenpath. Perhaps he would have a chance if he’d attained the peak of the Monarch Realm, but he’s only at the fourth rank of the Monarch Realm. So, he’s unable to go against the terrors of the Heavenpath even if he relies on the Dao Artifact and the strength of our entire sect. The elders and I have already secretly sent away some talented disciples. Qing s.h.i.+, you leave as well. Don’t think about avenging the Sword Sect for the next few hundred years. You just have to carry on the inheritance of the Sword Sect!”

“I refuse!” Su Qings.h.i.+ spoke in a light voice. “The Sword Sect is in a time of need right now. How could I possible leave? Moreover, we have the Sect Guarding Grand Formation that the Founding Ancestor left behind all those years ago, so we may not necessarily be unable to resist them.”

Su Muzhe suddenly said, “Does the child belong to Yang Ye?”

Su Qings.h.i.+’s expression immediately became slightly unnatural, but she still nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Su Muzhe sighed lightly and said, “That child’s natural talent in the Sword Dao is superb, but he has a rather extreme character, and he acts ruthlessly and without any regard for the consequences. Even I don’t know if it’s a blessing or curse that you’re with him. Alright, leave now or you might not be able to leave in a while. Don’t be stubborn. Do it for the child in your belly!”

Su Qings.h.i.+ still shook her head and said, “He said that he would come to the Sword Sect to get me. If I have a place in his heart, then he’ll come no matter what. If he doesn’t, then what’s the point of going to look for him?”

“I received information that he’s on his way back to the southern territory. However, the Origin School, Ghost Sect, and Flower Palace have dispatched experts to kill him on the way!” Su Muzhe suddenly said, “The reason I didn’t tell you before was because I didn’t want you to be swept into the enmity between him and those sects. But at this moment, we have no other choice!”

Su Qings.h.i.+’s beautiful brows knit together slightly, but she still shook her head and indicated that she wouldn’t leave.

“You’re only a step away from the Exalt Realm. Even though you haven’t attained it, your strength isn’t any weaker to an ordinary Exalt Realm expert. Isn’t it better to go help him?” said Su Muzhe.

“He will return safely to the southern territory. They’ve always underestimated him!” said Su Qings.h.i.+.

Su Muzhe shook his head lightly. Presently, he wasn’t really interested in Yang Ye because it was a moment of life and death for the Sword Sect right now. The Sword Sect had existed in the southern territory for 10,000 years. If it were to be obliterated in his hands, then Su Muzhe would become a sinner of the sect. So, even if he knew they weren’t a match for the Origin School, Ghost Sect, and Flower Palace, he still wanted to fight desperately for it!

As for Su Qings.h.i.+, he naturally had a way to send her away when there was no other way!

Meanwhile, the pitch black rift in the sky had expanded to the point of becoming over 1km wide. When looked at from below, it was like an enormous hole had been torn apart in the sky, and boundless horrifying darkness was revealed from within it.
