Chapter 508: Striking Awe Into One Hundred Sects (2)
“Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent!”
Countless old monsters suddenly rose to their feet from their seats in all the directions of the jade platform. All of them looked at Venerated Sword who was standing on the center of the platform in disbelief!
In the Ancient Heavenly Court, there were four greatest ancient swords and Immortal Entrapping Sword was one of them.
From ancient times, all of those who could fully comprehend the sword intent of the four great ancient swords were terrifying sword cultivators who were unmatched among other experts on the same level as them.
Since Venerated Sword was a Half Step Void Refinement Realm expert who had a remarkable strength, he would probably have no rivals among cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm if he masters the complete Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent!
However, those old monsters could not see that Venerated Sword only had a trace of Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent in his sword intent and he did not truly comprehend it.
As for the Divine Transformation Realm expert from the Hundred Swords Sect who was knocked down from the jade platform, his expression immediately turned pale after recognizing the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent. He hurriedly rose from the ground and returned to the seating of his sect. How would he still have the guts to challenge Venerated Sword?
From his perspective, even though Venerated Sword was not a Void Refinement Realm expert, how would he a lowly Early Divine Transformation Realm junior be able to withstand him since he had comprehended the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent…
“Anyone who wishes to lay a finger on the people of the Giant Devil Clan, fight me first!”
Venerated Sword suddenly drew out his sword and stood at the center of the platform on his own.
He held an ancient sword in his hand which had the patterns like a pine wood while carrying a massive sword scabbard on his back. As the wind blew, his long white beard fluttered gently. The sword qi around his body was tremendous like a dragon, making him as imposing as a celestial being!
The countless seats that were built around the jade platform were occupied by hundreds of thousands of cultivators who came from one hundred plus first-class sects of Rain World.
Despite the massive crowd of people gathering at this place, no one dared to go up to the platform and challenge Venerated Sword at this moment.
Those cultivators who were at the Divine Transformation Realm or lower were afraid of Venerated Sword.
As for most of the Void Refinement Realm old monsters, they did not ascend the platform to fight Venerated Sword to maintain their self-image. They did not want to be given the bad reputation of being a big bully.
After all, Venerated Sword was just at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm which still made him a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. Therefore, each of those Void Refinement Realm old monsters who cared more about their reputation was not going to bully a Divine Transformation Realm cultivator.
“*Sigh* Old Man Sword, you really…” Dong Xu sighed with emotions while Ju Qing’s face was filled with embarrassment.
Ju Qing did not have a good relationship with Venerated Sword. Moreover, the two of them even held grudges against each other in the past.
However, when the Giant Devil Clan was in trouble, Venerated Sword stood up for them thinking that both of them were the venerated seven forces of the internal sea. The virtue and the breadth of mind he displayed really moved Ju Qing.
“Venerated Sword’s sword intent indeed contains a trace of Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent. However, it’s just a trace and that’s it. Humph! A mere trace of the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent is nothing of importance! According to hearsay, the Sword Island used to have a broken fragment of the Immortal Entrapping Sword. However, the White-Robed Sword God has already taken away that fragment at some point of time… I didn’t believe it at first. Now, however, it seems like the rumors were true.”
On the main seating, the sect master of the Ice Mountain Sword Sect, Marquis Shen Jian let out a cold harrumph. He did not spare a glance at Venerated Sword, thinking that the latter was unworthy of his consideration. However, he was also mindful of his own reputation and chose not to fight him.
However, Marquis Shen Jian’s voice openly spread across the area.
Many Divine Transformation Realm old monster immediately heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that Venerated Sword’s Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent was not the complete version.
If what Venerated Sword had learned was just a trace of the Immortal Entrapping Sword Intent, there might not necessarily be no one among the Divine Transformation Realm in the audience seats who could win against him.
“So you are Venerated Sword of the Sword Island, huh? Then, let this old man have a taste of your remarkable moves!”
An old man who wore a green sword robe who held a green crystal-like flying sword suddenly flew to the jade platform and challenged Venerated Sword.
This man was the sect master of the Hundred Swords Sect. He was also a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm sword cultivator.
“The sect master of Hundred Swords Sect – Zhao Jie… Humph! You aren’t my match!!”
*Chi*
Venerated Sword waved his word abruptly. His ancient sword emitted a sharp ear shrill, changing the color of the sky and clouds ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) above the jade platform. All of a sudden, dark green sword rays shot out from his sword, scattering into millions of rays of sword light which covered the air like rain droplets!
*Sword Rain Style!”
Zhao Jie’s expression changed drastically. The sword technique which Venerated Sword displayed carried the destructive power which was extremely close to the Void Glimpse Stage!
Even though he knew that Venerated Sword was someone he must not underestimate, he did not expect him to be so strong. His power was nearly at the unrivalled level among cultivators below the Void Refinement Realm.
In panic, Zhao Jie wielded his green crystal sword wildly to display the strongest sword technique of his Hundred Swords Sect – One Hundred Sword Style.
In just an instant, he produced tens of thousands of sword rays. However, all of them were unable to rival Venerated Sword’s sword rain as they were destroyed one after another.
Zhao Jie’s face was filled with disbelief. He hurriedly retreated from the platform but it was already too late because he was heavily surrounded by the sword rain.
A painful wail reverberated across the arena. The sword rain pierced through Zhao Jie’s body, forming tens of tiny bloody holes on him. He was then sent away from the jade platform while spraying out blood from his mouth.
He was not dead yet but he was already grievously injured. Clearly he had lost Venerated Sword!
“Venerated Sword of Sword Island won.” The Void Glimpse Stage elderly man who was hosting the fight announced. This man was the sect master of the Six Flames Sect and his name was Yan Xiao.
“Venerated Sword is mighty!” On the low-class seating, many sword cultivators from the Sword Island cheered with their arms raised in the air.
“Who else wants to fight me?!” Venerated Sword’s angry eyes scanned past the groups of experts and cultivators on the audience seating.
“Venerated Sword has an excellent technique. My name is Yan Hui and I am the sect master of the Flying Swallow Sect. Now, let me try taking your remarkable moves!”
At the next moment, an old man with short stature jumped up to the jade platform with a sword on his back. He was the person who made the provocative remark among the crowd just now. His presence emanated the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm aura force.
Even though this old man was small and short, his actions were extremely fast. In a blink of an eye, he drew out his sword and raised it to the sky. The sword light produced the vague shadow of a flying swallow. The technique he was using was actually a flying sword technique!
“Flying Swallow Style!”
The flying sword became as light as swift as a swallow. In a flash, it vanished without a trace. It was enough to see how fast the sword light was.
Venerated Sword’s old eyes turned grim. He did not dare to put down his guard. He held his sword and leapt into the air to avoid the flying sparrow sword light. From above, he then made a slash at Yan Hui who was standing below.
“Sword Waterfall Style!”
In the next instant, the sword light poured out like a massive waterfall, rushing down to Yan Hui like the Milky Way descending from the Ninth Heaven.
Yan Hui’s flying sword immediately returned to him as soon as it touched Venerated Sword’s sword light that was as terrifying as a waterfall. Countless cracks appeared on its body.
As his natal flying sword had been damaged, Yan Hui coughed out fresh blood. In the next moment, he raised his head and looked upwards.
When he saw the sword light which was falling upon him like the Milky Way, his heart was instantly filled with fear. He no longer had time to withdraw from the platform.
*Bang*
The massive jade platform was pulverized by that waterfall sword light!
Venerated Sword stood in midair. In the ruins of the jade platform below his feet, Yan Hui was drenched in blood. The damage he took was extremely severe. After throwing a fearful glance at Venerated Sword, he fell to the ground and passed out.
“Venerated Sword of Sword Island won!” The sect master of the Six Flames Sect announced with a neutral tone of voice.
“Sect Master!” The experts of the Hundred Swords Sect immediately went to carry Yan Hui back, fearing that Venerated Sword might take his life.
*Hiss*
Below the jade platform, each of the Divine Transformation Realm experts were extremely terrified.
Venerated Sword’s strength was indeed unrivalled among all cultivators at the Divine Transformation Realm. No one would be able to defeat him except for a true Void Refinement Realm expert!
All of a sudden, not a single one of the Divine Transformation Realm cultivators there dared to challenge Venerated Sword!
“Venerated Sword is mighty!” The members of the Sword Island cheered even more loudly.
On the Barbarian Dao Sect’s seating which was located on the main seating, the sect master of the Barbarian Dao Sect, Marquis Nan Man, looked displeased. He then turned behind and gave an order to an elderly man who carried a sword on his back.
“He’s just a mere Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. He really has no idea about the immensity of heaven and earth to think that he can challenge over one hundred sects on his own using the sword intent of a broken Immortal Entrapping Sword. Lian Qin, go and kill him!”
“Understood!”
That elderly man took a step forward and turned into a ray of light. In the next second, he appeared on the ruins of the jade platforms.
That man was also a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm sword cultivator but his aura force was not weaker than Venerated Sword’s.
Venerated Sword descended to the ground, staring at his new opponent solemnly. He did not dare to belittle this person.
“I’m Lian Qin. Under my sect master’s orders, I came to take your head!”
*Chi*
Just as his voice fell, his body released a frightening sword intent. The force of his sword intent was extremely formidable. In that sword intent, there was even a trace of ancient sword intent which gave Venerated Sword a jolt!
Countless old monsters around the jade platforms cried out in surprise again. When Lian Qin drew out the gigantic sword from his back, the uproar became even more intense.
“T-This is the… Immortal Slaying Sword Intent! Isn’t the sword that Lian Qin is currently holding the Immortal Slaying Ancient Sword?!”
“No. The sword he is holding now isn’t the Immortal Slaying Sword. It’s just an imitation sword… However, it contains a small broken piece of the Immortal Slaying Sword which greatly boosts the sword’s power!”
*Chi*
Lian Qin pointed his sword at Venerated Sword. By just taking one step forward, he had already unified himself with the sword. He sent out a massive all-conquering sword light which dashed towards Venerated Sword at an unimaginable speed.
Venerated Sword’s eyes widened with surprise. He did not back off but advanced instead.
The battle between sword cultivators emphasized on the aura force. If one chose to retreat even by making half a step backwards, they would lose their aura force which would in turn make them lose to their opponents.
Even though he knew that he could not withstand the sword might from the imitation Immortal Slaughtering Sword using his own power, he could not take a step backwards at all!
He quickly made a hand seal and the sword scabbard on his back immediately gave off the sword shrills of several hundred thousands of flying swords.
At the next moment, hundreds of thousands of flying sword flew out from the scabbard and went towards the Lian Qin’s sword light in torrents.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
Countless flying sword were broken to pieces. Each of the flying swords was at least a Core Realm flying sword while the strongest among them was a Half-Step Void Treasure!
This was Venerated Sword’s strongest trump card. Even a true Void Refinement Realm expert would have retreat with a numbed scalp when facing hundreds of thousands of flying swords.
*Puke*
After breaking nearly two hundred thousand flying swords, the sword light from the imitation Immortal Slaughtering Sword was finally destroyed.
Lian Qin violently spurted out fresh blood from his mouth with an expression filled with a mixture of surprise and fear. The remaining three hundred thousand flying swords shredded him to pieces, violently killing him on the ruins. His primordial spirit did not even get to escape from the torrent of flying swords!
“It’s a close call…”
Venerated Sword exhaled gently. He held Lian Qin’s sword into his fear. Fear still lingered within him as he studied the sword.
If he hadn’t used his strongest trump card, he probably would not have been able to win against Lian Qin.
“Venerated Sword of Sword Island won…” This time, even the expression of the Void Glimpse Stage host changed slightly. Clearly he was astonished by Venerated Sword’s insane swordsmanship.
*Hiss*
Each of the spectators were also shocked by Venerated Sword’s ultimate sword technique.
Using the power of his sword scabbard, he could send out five hundred thousand flying swords at once. Other than a Void Refinement Realm old monster, who would be able to withstand that attack?!
On the seating of the Barbarian Dao Sect, Marquis Nan Man burst into anger. He had never expected that Venerated Sword who was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator would actually dare to kill a member of his sect in front of over one hundred sects!
“How dare you kill my subordinate?! You’re courting death1”
Marquis Nan Man jumped and dashed towards the jade platform. His burly physique displayed great vigor and strength. He reached out his claw to Venerated Sword, abruptly unleashing his aura force.
His Void Glimpse Stage aura force swept across the ruins. No matter how powerful Venerated Sword’s trump card was, he could at most intimidate cultivators who were below the Void Refinement Realm. As a Void Glimpse Stage expert, how would Marquis Nan Man be afraid of him?!
Besides, Venerated Sword was bold enough to publicly kill the member of his sect. As the sect master, he naturally could not tolerate with this humiliation. No matter what, he must teach him a lesson!
“This is bad!”
After Venerated Sword had defeated three people consecutively, he had used up a great amount of his magic power. Moreover, his cultivation level was far lower than that of Marquis Nan Man. There was no way he could withstand the incoming claw.
Under Marquis Nan Man’s vigorous aura force, Venerated Sword only felt that his breathing became difficult while his qi became stagnant. He could not withstand it at all.
Obviously Nan Man wanted to kill Venerated Sword. He wanted Venerated Sword to pay with his life!
Seeing Venerate Sword was in great trouble, Dong Xu and Ju Qing certainly could not sit still any longer. How could they watch Venerated Sword die from standing up for the Giant Devil Clan?
Both of them took out their natal magic treasures and delivered an attack at Marquis Nan Man’s back.
When Nan Man sensed the attacks from behind, he could not help but stop his attack. He turned his claw into a palm and smacked Venerated Sword. At the same time, he turned around and charged at Dong Xu and Ju Qing with a cold sneer.
“How dare a mere bunch of Half-Step Void Refinement cultivators like you try to cross me?! You’re just seeking death!”
*Bang*
Marquis Nan Man’s palm attack broke the hollow space apart. Venerated Sword placed hiThes sword horizontally in front of his chest but it still could not withstand that Void Glimpse Stage palm attack. Upon impact, he was sent flying away while coughing out blood.
Even though Dong Xu and Ju Qing had managed to save Venerate Sword from the brink of death, they were targeted by Marquis Nan Man.
As soon as Marquis Nan Man turned around, he dashed towards them without hesitation and delivered out two palm attacks.
The massive force of his palms washed over them. Both Dong Xu and Ju Qing sprayed out blood from their mouths. They could not withstand a single attack from Nan Man at all.
“Just a few ants who don’t know their own place. Do you really think you all can mess with me?!” Marquis Nan Man said disdainfully.
“I might be an insignificant ant, but what are you?! You completely have no idea that the Giant Devil Clan is under someone’s protection.” Venerated Sword said with gritted teeth.
“Protection? The protector of the Giant Devil Clan you said. Could it be Zhou Ming?” Marquis Nan Man had also heard of the rumors about Ning Fan killing the country lord of Shi Le Country and the Palace Lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace. When he heard of his notoriety, he certainly had some fear within.
