Unreliable Sword Immortal.

"Hmm? The Heavenly Sword King's condition is declining!"

"His health is decreasing, Sect Leader, what kind of martial art is this?!"

Ye Longxing and Xiang Ruyan stared curiously at the Heavenly Sword King, showing great interest in the [Gaze Sword Technique].

"Although his luck is immortal and he won't die, I can certainly make his body more fragile. Junior brother, and Elder Xiang, this battle might be a protracted one. You need to be prepared!"

Lu Chaoding said it casually.

He was curious about what would happen if he used the [Gaze Sword Technique] to reduce the life value of Tianzhong Sword King Situ Zhang to zero. Would he die?

However, Lu Chaoding's [Gaze Sword Technique] can only reduce the target's maximum health by 16 points per second. But Tianzhong Sword King Situ Zhang's health is as high as 2000 billion. Theoretically, even if Lu Chaoding stares at him day and night without stopping, it would take more than 23782 years to reduce his health to zero using the [Gaze Sword Technique].

This is clearly an impossible task.

Lu Chaoding's mindset was to reduce the number of attacks as much as possible, slowly wearing down Tianzhong Sword King Situ Zhang, placing his hopes outside the war space, and expecting that the fortune of the Tianzhong Royal Court would wane.

In short, trap him and prevent him from escaping.

And so time slowly passed, and the huge battle flag on the back of Fuyun Mountain continued to fly.

Meanwhile, the battle in the Heavenly King's Court below continued unabated. The players of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect were frenzied, treating the soldiers and generals of the Heavenly King's Court as prey, while the soldiers and generals of the Heavenly King's Court seemed inexhaustible. They emerged continuously from underground palaces, towers, altars, and other buildings, each one like an emotionless war puppet.

Half a day later, the players of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect suffered heavy casualties, their enthusiasm waned, and many began to complain, or were pessimistic and not put in any effort.

"There are just too many soldiers from the royal court these days; we can't possibly kill them all!"

"And there are more and more high-level ones!"

"I've been beaten to death three times already!"

"Killing them yields almost no benefit, so what's the point of this battle?"

"Heavenly Demon Sect Leader, please make a move! If you don't, we won't be able to hold on any longer!"

"Yes, please, Sect Leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, make a move!"

"Sect Leader, show us a few skills..."

Amidst the continuous cheers of the players from the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect, the Heavenly Demon, who had been silently hovering in mid-air, finally moved. He pointed to the sky, and the phantom of the Heavenly Demon Palace appeared in mid-air. This phantom was sacred and solemn. As soon as it appeared, the ground of the Heavenly Court began to tremble violently, and with the tremor, ravines were torn open.

Moreover, the soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court seemed to be under strong suppression under that illusory image. Many of them lay prostrate on the ground, unable to move. Those who did not lie prostrate were mostly trembling and their strength was greatly reduced.

"With my Heavenly Demon Palace, I suppress this royal court. Beneath the Demon Palace lies the Demon Realm. Heavenly Demon Sword Sect disciples, raise your swords and slaughter!"

The Heavenly Demon spoke calmly, then took out the [Demon Sealing List].

"In the name of the Heavenly Demon, I hereby appoint Qiu Sanyuan, Lu Zhixing, Yan Qulou, Huang Muyun... as my demon generals. As long as I live, you will enjoy my protection and be spared the punishment of death! Now, I will transform you into the Boundless Sword Demon, the Green-Robed Sword Demon, the Blood-Burning Sword Demon, and the Soul-Honored Sword Demon..."

The Heavenly Demon's voice wasn't loud, but it could travel extremely far. In a very short time, she used the [Demon Sealing List] to appoint 356 Demon Generals and promoted them to the advanced Sword Demon class.

Thus, including Song Shu, Geng Jinfei, and nine other demon generals, the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect now possesses a total of 365 demon generals.

The Heavenly Demon roared once more, "Demon Star Formation, activate! All demon generals, heed my command, form ranks at the front, enter the formation!"

After this loud shout, all 365 demon generals of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect received a system notification. The Heavenly Demon invited them to team up. When they agreed to team up, they immediately discovered that the Heavenly Demon had set up a formation called the [Demon Star Formation]. They were the "Demon Stars" in this formation. Due to the power of the formation, their lives were linked, damage was shared, and attacks were stacked.

"Holy crap, this Demon Star Formation is amazing!"

"This is powerful! Follow the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader and kill!"

"365 demon generals, combining offense and defense, the demon star descends upon the world, awesome!"

"The destruction of the Heavenly Court will take place today..."

The players of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect went wild again. In the battles that followed, the 365 demon generals stole the show. They floated in mid-air as one, and were not pulled into the battle space. Any one of them taking action was equivalent to all 365 taking action together. Moreover, the Heavenly Demon was the core of the formation, giving them powerful recovery abilities. Even the Heavenly Court experts in the Transcendent Realm were like clay chickens and earthenware dogs in front of them, and were no match for them.

Thus, the battlefield situation reversed.

A moment later, the royal soldiers who had invaded Hongchen Seven Realms Mountain were all killed. The wives of the sect leaders, including Lan'e and Lvliu, led a large number of players and high-level NPCs to launch a counterattack, fighting their way to the Heavenly Court.

Thus, the players from the Reliable Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect clashed for the first time. However, the conflict between the two factions quickly ended, and Lan E and others reached an agreement with the Heavenly Demon, regarding the Heavenly Court as a common enemy and joining forces to attack it.

In the battles that followed, although players from the Reliable Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect occasionally clashed, the overall situation remained harmonious. When the two sects joined forces, the soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court suffered rapid casualties and gradually became the ones who could only be beaten.

Three days later, the royal city of the Heavenly Court was destroyed, and a huge crack running from north to south appeared in the center of the city. This crack became the dividing line between the battlefields of the Reliable Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect.

The war continued, and the royal city of Tianzhong was split in two. More cracks appeared on the ground, further dividing the city into more fragments.

This battle situation also affected Situ Zhang, the Heavenly Sword King in the battle space above Lu Chao. His original luck value of 500 slowly decreased, and after 20 days in the battle space, his luck value was only 20!

"No, impossible! My Heavenly Court has tens of millions of soldiers, who can stop us? Why is my luck value decreasing!"

Situ Zhang, the Sword King of the Heavenly Center, has gone from being arrogant and unrestrained to being extremely anxious.

Lu Chaoding wasn't feeling well either at that moment.

He's not a robot. For the past twenty days, he's lived and ate in the battle space. Luckily, his speed is high enough that he can play many rounds without any problems, even if he has to sleep or leave the game running.

Compared to Lu Chaoding, Ye Longxing and Xiang Ruyan appeared much more composed. They even exchanged player tips and discussed various skills, weapons, game plot, and game settings.

"Only 20 left!" Lu Chao yawned and continued to use the [Gaze Sword Technique] on Situ Zhang, while saying, "It seems that my subordinates are still quite reliable. Situ Zhang, the Heavenly Sword King, your tens of millions of soldiers are probably about to be wiped out. Once your luck value reaches zero, you will be killed by me. Leave your last words in advance."

"Hmph!" Situ Zhang sneered, "Lu Chaoding, don't be too smug. My Heavenly Court still has the Imperial Preceptor and the Prime Minister. Their strength is almost equal to mine. They should have woken up by now. As long as they live, the fate of my Heavenly Court will not perish, and I will not die. If they destroy your Reliable Sword Sect, the fate of my Heavenly Court will be rebuilt, and I will still be immortal. Moreover, they will come in and help me kill you all."

"Keep dreaming."

Lu Chaoding replied casually, seemingly indifferent, but actually a little worried inside.

If the Heavenly Court truly has two super experts awakening, then it depends on the methods of Lan E, Lü Liu, and Tian Mo. They are very strong, but their current level is not high enough. Lu Chaoding is afraid that they will not be able to defeat the Heavenly Court's Grand Preceptor and Prime Minister.

At this very moment, within the shattered royal city at the foot of Mount Fuyun, two golden pillars of light suddenly appeared.

The two beams of light appeared simultaneously, one on the left and one on the right, and then disappeared at the same time. After they disappeared, two NPCs dressed in golden robes appeared in mid-air.

These two, one with a black beard and white hair, and the other with a white beard and black hair, were none other than the Imperial Preceptor and Prime Minister of the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court's millions of soldiers have been exhausted. The Imperial Advisor and the Prime Minister in the sky are the last soldiers of the Heavenly Court. They are level 120 and have 100 billion health points. After they appeared, they roared and charged towards the player teams of the Reliable Sword Sect and the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect respectively.

"Well done!" Lan E shouted. "Sisters, let's face this formidable enemy!"

"yes!"

"Kill him!"

The 100 wives of the sect leaders had been waiting for a long time. They rode their swords into the air and soon clashed with the national teacher of the Heavenly Court. Then, a huge battle flag appeared in the sky.

On the other side, the Heavenly Demon controlled the [Demon Star Array] to surround the Prime Minister of the Heavenly Court in the center.

The [Demon Star Formation] can bypass entering the battle space, so the battle between the Heavenly Demon, along with 365 Demon Generals, and the Prime Minister of the Heavenly Court can be seen by the surrounding crowd.

Overall, it was not a very exciting battle. The entire battle was quite chaotic. It looked like the demon generals of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect were ganging up on the national advisor of the Heavenly Court. Since they did not enter the battle space, neither side displayed any powerful or dazzling combat skills or special moves. Most of the time, it was just straightforward normal attacks.

In the end, all 365 demon generals of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect were killed, and the prime minister of the Heavenly Court was also killed. The only survivor was the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon was unharmed, and after the battle, her level increased to 111.

"This battle is over!"

The Heavenly Demon in mid-air remained as aloof as ever. With a wave of her hand, she caught the treasure chest dropped by the Prime Minister of the Heavenly Court. Then, she reached out and grabbed half of the shattered city below, which floated into the air like floating islands. Under the Heavenly Demon's control, these islands entered the Heavenly Demon's Secret Realm through spatial rifts.

"Everyone, retreat with me!"

With a soft shout, the spatial rift leading to the Heavenly Demon Secret Realm widened, and she flew into it, followed by the players and NPCs of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect.

Outside the battlefield, there were many large patrol ships and sea patrol ships. On those ships were players and NPCs from reliable sword sects, most of whom were looking at the battle flags in the sky.

A moment later, the battle flag shattered, and Lan E, Lü Liu, and the others reappeared in the sky.

Clearly, they had won; the royal advisor of the Heavenly Court had been killed by them.

However, this victory did not seem easy, as only 66 of the sect leaders' wives appeared in the sky, and 34 of them had died in battle.

At this moment, Lan E was holding a square object in her hand. The object was obviously a trophy. It was about the size of a volleyball, golden and radiant. If you stared at it, it would be a little dazzling.

"We won!"

"The Heavenly Court has been destroyed by us!"

"The wives of sect leaders are amazing!"

"Where is the sect leader?"

"If we destroy the Heavenly Court, there will be a system announcement, right? There will be system rewards, right?"

"Damn, after more than 20 days of fighting, it's finally over!"

"Yeah, I'm exhausted!"

"I reckon the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect players will take half of the profits!"

"This Heavenly Demon Sword Sect will surely be a formidable enemy of our Reliable Sword Sect in the future!"

"The Heavenly Demon Sword Sect is guarded by the Heavenly Demon, who seems very powerful, and the Demon Star Array is also very domineering!"

"Don't worry, we have the sect leader and his wife..."

Players from the Reliable Sword Sect cheered excitedly.

At this very moment, in Lu Chaoding's battle space, the luck value of Tianzhong Sword King Situ Zhang was finally reduced to zero.

"Reset to zero, good, very good!"

Lu Chao was overjoyed and stopped using the [Gaze Sword Technique]. He had used it for twenty days straight, and his eyes were practically popping out of their sockets, but it had only reduced the maximum health of Heavenly Sword King Situ Zhang by less than 20 million.

Situ Zhang, however, looked utterly terrified, tilting his head back and exclaiming, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Lu Chaoding didn't waste any words and attacked directly. After unleashing a full combo of the Twelve Hates of the Sword Immortal, plus the additional attack from the Peach Blossom Flying Sword, he emptied the health and resilience bars of Situ Zhang, the Sword King of the Heavenly Center.

This time, his health and resilience finally stopped recovering. After a roar, his body and the throne beneath him shattered together, and after more than ten seconds, he turned into light and disappeared. However, his greatsword remained, falling to the ground and becoming his only trophy.

Lu Chao stepped forward and picked up the greatsword, immediately receiving a system notification: "Ding, congratulations, you have obtained the special weapon Mountain and River Sword!"

"Ding, System Announcement: The Heavenly Court has been destroyed, Heavenly Sword King Situ Zhang has perished, and the Royal Court's secret realm has collapsed!"

"Ding, System Announcement: The Heavenly Court has fallen, and the special items Golden Seal, Royal Cauldron, and Mountain and River Sword have dropped. The Golden Seal is a founding item, currently held by the Reliable Sword Sect Strategist, Sword Realm Walker, and Sect Leader's Wife, Lan E! The Royal Cauldron is a luck item, currently held by the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect Leader, Tian Mo. The Mountain and River Sword is a six-star weapon, currently held by the Reliable Sword Sect Leader, Lu Chaoding!"

As the system notification sounded, the battle space above Lu Chaoding shattered, and he appeared on Floating Cloud Mountain with Ye Longxing and Xiang Ruyan.

Ye Longxing cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Chao and said, "The Heavenly Court has been destroyed, and its secret realm has collapsed. There should be many fragments of the secret realm below. Those fragments are rare treasures, so I will go and collect them to repair Floating Cloud Mountain!"

"Go ahead, go ahead! Thanks for your hard work, Junior Brother!" Lu Chao said casually, his attention focused on the Six-Star Mountain and River Sword. (End of Chapter)
