Daqin Zhentiansi

Almost the instant the words fell, the remaining sword cultivator elders on the immortal island had a sudden inspiration!
They witnessed the trajectory of the frost blade and felt its resolute determination to cut through all obstacles, and their sword techniques suddenly trembled!
"Broken Waves!"

"Split the sky!"

"Shatter the Mountain!"

Several already exquisite Penglai sword techniques, guided by the "breaking" intent that originated from the depths of the sword light, involuntarily underwent subtle changes!
The sword energy is no longer as smooth and flowing as before, emphasizing the continuous sword intent. Instead, it has become extremely condensed and sharp, carrying a trace of iron-blooded ferocity forged from mountains of corpses and seas of blood!

"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"

Several spiraling sword beams, several times more powerful than before, burst forth from the sky, precisely targeting the demonic energy nodes within the passage that were attempting to merge, far more efficient than ever before!
Where the sword light passed, a faint blood-red aura lingered, briefly hindering the self-repair of the filthy demonic energy!
"boom--!"

The demonic energy at the gap convulsed painfully, noticeably slowing down the closing process!

The cultivators from the immortal island were greatly encouraged and launched an even fiercer attack.

For the first time, a clear gap appeared in the battle situation because of the resonance between this earth-shattering strike and the sword technique!
This crack, though small, could be deadly!
Just as the people of Penglai sensed a glimmer of hope, in the distant western horizon where the sea and sky met, another powerful, sharp aura, equally imbued with indomitable sword intent, suddenly erupted!
Countless dazzling stars lit up the horizon of Fangzhang Immortal Island, which was originally shrouded in demonic clouds!

Each "star" is a natal flying sword fully activated by a sword cultivator at the Dao Inquiry Realm, carrying the last stand of Fangzhang Immortal Island!

Sword light rained down, tearing through the demonic barrier, and rushed fiercely towards the direction of the gap in Penglai!

The abyss barrier has already crumbled!
The cultivators from Penglai, including Master Xuanming, were still reeling from the shock of Zhang Yuan's earth-shattering slash that cleaved open the Demon Abyss and revealed the path to life.

The myriad swords of reinforcements from the Western Abbot's Immortal Island are tearing through the demonic clouds and roaring in, and the battle seems to be tilting in favor of the allied forces.

suddenly!

"Whoosh—!!!"

A throbbing and buzzing sensation originating from the depths of the soul did not come from the core of the Penglai battlefield, but from the place where all seas return to their source.

The Guixu Sea Eye suddenly erupted!

This tremor was more chilling than any demonic howl, instantly overwhelming the roar of battle across the entire battlefield.

The demon army suddenly ceased all its siege of Penglai.

As if receiving a unified order to destroy, all the remaining demon generals and demon soldiers let out a shrill and venomous howl, and the evil energy on their huge demon bodies surged wildly towards their respective positions without regard for the consequences.

They did not retreat, but instead poured all their demonic energy and resentment into the towering stone tablet that churned endlessly around the Eye of Guixu.

Burial monument!
"Not good! Their target isn't Penglai!" Bai Qi's clone's blood-red eyes suddenly contracted, revealing a rare hint of shock and anger. "They want to destroy the Sea-Suppressing Origin of the Boundless Sea!"

The words have not yet been spoken!

"Boom——!!!"

The chains binding the Sea Burial Monument crumbled inch by inch, and the demonic patterns on the monument, such as "Reincarnation Locks the Soul, Creation Condenses the Realm, Time Stagnates in the Void, and Fate Cuts Off Aid," instantly shone like the blazing sun of the Netherworld!

A condensed, purer crimson-black demonic light, even more refined than the previous Burial Sea Power, ignored the fierce battle raging on the Penglai battlefield, tore through space, and crashed violently into the core of the Guixu Sea Eye!

"Boom—!!!" An indescribable, terrifying explosion erupted at the center of the Guixu Sea Eye!

That wasn't a release of energy, but a riot within space itself!
A violent spatial storm was instantly created!
The previously barely maintained Guixu Passage structure shattered like fragile glass!
Countless twisted, chaotic, and shredded fragments of space, like billions of uncontrolled death blades, splattered wildly in all directions!

Even more terrifying chaotic currents roared out from the collapsed fissures, devouring everything in their path!
The first to be hit was the enormous sword array light wheel formed by the 100,000 disciples of the Nine Yang Sword Sect who guarded the Guixu Sea Eye node and maintained the connection between the sword array and the sea eye!

"puff--!!!"

One hundred thousand sword cultivators!

One hundred thousand longswords, shimmering with the light of sword spirits, all let out a mournful cry!
One hundred thousand chests were struck as if by a thousand heavy hammers, and blood gushed out uncontrollably, staining the churning sea of ​​demonic blood beneath them!

The enormous sword array, as dazzling as the sun, dimmed instantly and shattered inch by inch, like a giant glass mirror being smashed by a heavy punch!

The backlash from the collapse of the sword formation instantly swept over every sword cultivator. Everyone's face turned ashen, their sword intent was severely damaged, and their sword hearts trembled!

The three powerful demonic treasures floating above the sea eye—the Blood Fiend Banner, the Devouring Soul Cauldron, and the Purgatory Bone Shuttle—which had been suppressed by the sword formation, unleashed their demonic flames like untamed demons the moment the sword formation collapsed.

Taking advantage of the spatial turbulence, it roared and soared into the sky, attempting to break free of its restraints and escape or launch a counterattack!

"Guard the sea eye!" The divine thought of the Rock Immortal of Fangzhang Island roared in a mixture of shock and anger.

At the core of the sword formation, Pei Lie, an elder of the Nine Yang Sword Sect, was pale.

In order to protect the sword formation core that was on the verge of collapse and the surrounding disciples, he used his primordial sword energy and physical body to withstand the most violent impact of the spatial storm core!

His Taoist robe turned to ashes, his protective sword energy shattered, and his bones and muscles emitted a crackling sound as they could not bear the strain. Blood, mixed with fragments of shattered internal organs, gushed out.

Its life force rapidly waned like a candle flickering in the wind, plummeting straight towards the churning waves of the sea!

If it weren't for his extremely resilient Sword Saint physique and the timely intervention of the Rock Immortal who sent a wisp of talisman light to intercept him, he would probably have been torn to shreds long ago!

The 100,000 Sword Formation has been broken, and Elder Pei Lie's fate is unknown!
The Guixu Sea Eye exploded, unleashing a spatial storm!
The demons abandoned their defenses and launched a full-scale attack, causing the three demonic treasures to go out of control!

The situation on the battlefield took a sharp turn for the worse, and the precarious situation was extremely dangerous!
"Though the sword formation is shattered, our sword spirit remains unbroken!" A resolute roar suddenly drowned out the howling of the spatial storm!

Among the 100,000 sword cultivators who were coughing up blood, the disciples who were still able to hold on saw Pei Lie fall from the sky and their comrades seriously injured and on the verge of death. Instead of despair, their eyes erupted with an even more intense and purer sword light!
That is the sword spirit of the Nine Yang Sword Sect, forged through countless trials and tribulations, enduring "a hundred battles" and "nine deaths"!
"Form ranks—!"

It is unknown who was the first to shout out.

One hundred thousand sword cultivators forcefully drew up their last breath of inner fire essence!
No matter how broken or stained with blood, the longsword in his hand transforms into an indomitable sword light!

The 100,000 sword lights no longer pursued fusion and unification, but transformed into 100,000 fine yet incredibly tough sword energy threads. They were not for killing enemies, but to use their bodies as shields and their swords as walls!
The sword energies intertwined, and in an instant, a vast, star-studded sword energy curtain, condensed from pure will, was woven between the raging spatial storm and the comrades who were about to fall completely into the sea!
"hold head high--!!"

The sword energy barrier swelled in the wind, and although it was constantly torn and pierced by spatial fragments and frantically eroded by demonic energy, it was not destroyed but rebuilt after being broken!
Each time it was torn apart, more sword lights rushed forward to fill the gap!

Ultimately, these 100,000 torrents of sword energy, imbued with the indomitable will of the sword cultivators, did not completely merge into a solid wall.

Instead, they resembled roaring, enraged dragons, spiraling and rising, transforming into a magnificent river of sword energy that soared into the sky, blotting out the sun and connecting heaven and sea! (End of Chapter)
