Chapter 307: Xia Zi Strikes

For the millennial undertaking of Golden Spirit Mountain and the Shengdi inheritance, the Great Sun Fozu made more than one preparation.

The situation on the field is already clear at this moment.

Excluding the participants Bi Luo Abyss, Golden Spirit Mountain, Wu Clan, Fengshuang Pavilion, Purple Star Emperor Sect, Qingqiu, and Cloud Kingdom.

The remaining four super powers have no intention to fight and have withdrawn to a distant position.

Yin Zhai's master Qian Shi San even had no interest in watching the battle, and left with the sect's super talent Kun Shi Qi.

However, the Wangxian Realm in the world is not limited to the super powers.

Outside the super powers there are several Wangxian Realm strongmen, who wander beyond the major forces, solitary, with a single heart seeking the Dao.

The Xia Zi Sword Immortal of Dao Tian Zhou's Ten Thousand Sword Mountain is one of them.

The Great Sun Fozu naturally knows not to move the Xia Zi Sword Immortal, but has already secretly contacted another.

A strong individual from the Demon Abyss.

The Demon Abyss lies between the most chaotic super province Jin Tian Zhou of the Mundane World and the Futu Prefecture where Golden Spirit Mountain is located.

From ancient times to the present, several Wangxian great beings who practice the demonic path were born within the Demon Abyss.

People speculate that the Demon Abyss contains demonic secrets.

Yet few cultivators dare to enter the Demon Abyss to practice; countless cultivators have become lost there, their lives buried in the Demon Abyss.

The cruelty of demonic cultivation far exceeds that of normal cultivation.

"Corpse Demon Emperor! Act!"

The Great Sun Fozu sent a message.

Swish!

A dark streak flashed across heaven and earth.

A corpse, its whole body covered in red hair and rotting flesh, emerged from the edge of the Heavenly Dome and in the blink of an eye leapt into the Ziwei Star Domain.

"The Demon Abyss's Corpse Demon Emperor!"

Seeing the newcomer, An Ci's face changed abruptly, and she scolded angrily: "Great Sun Fozu, Nan Gong Xin, you constantly proclaim the need to eradicate evil demons, yet you collude with demonic cultivators to come!"

The Great Sun Fozu sneered, "What are you saying? This humble monk has never colluded with the Corpse Demon Emperor."

"Demonic cultivators naturally enjoy killing each other; who does not yearn for the title of the Strongest Heavenly Demon Old Ancestor, who does not wish to seize his inherited Dao fruit?"

"The Corpse Demon Emperor comes for Lin Chuan; is that strange?"

The demonic path has no notion of respecting senior ancestors; it only seeks to devour them, for only I am supreme.

Hmph!

An Ci coldly said: "Do you think we are fools? All Wangxian of the eleven great super powers are here; without your collusion, would the Corpse Demon Emperor dare to come?"

Demonic cultivators can pay many costs to become stronger.

But they would never recklessly sacrifice their own lives.

"Great Sun Fozu, you have ruined the face of the Fo Men."

Hao Xuan cursed, "In my view, you sold the corpse of the Lonely Lamp Fozu to the Corpse Demon Emperor, right? This guy only acts when there's profit; only a Wangxian Realm corpse can tempt him."

"My Fozu is merciful."

The Great Sun Fozu's expression unchanged, "Monks do not speak falsehoods."

In the meantime, the Corpse Demon Emperor has already stepped onto the battlefield, heading straight for Lin Chuan.

An Ci, anxious as fire, felt her aura growing ever stronger, preparing to force a breakthrough; even if her Dao foundation is damaged, she must protect the one the Master has named.

Buzz!

At that moment, a terrifying danger approached.

The Wangxian great beings present all turned pale, instinctively retreating and defending with all effort.

Looking again toward the Corpse Demon Emperor, the space there had already been slashed open, and his corpse was vertically split in two.

The Sword Scar rose into the nine heavens and descended into the nether.

The intense Sword Intent spread across heaven and earth, lingering for a long time.

A swordsman wrapped in black silk stepped forward.

"Xia Zi Sword Immortal!"

The crowd shouted in unison, calling out the newcomer's title, their faces full of astonishment.

"The Xia Zi Sword Immortal of Dao Tian Zhou, he really came."

"Why does he protect Lin Chuan?"

"What terrifying power! He must be the champion of the Sword Path."

"No wonder the Lonely Lamp Sword Sect's strength wanes; with such a Sword Immortal, the brilliance of the Sword Path's nine virtues rests upon him."

The cultivators were shocked by the arrival of the Xia Zi Sword Immortal.

Even more shocked by the Xia Zi Sword Immortal's terrifying strength.

Too strong!

Definitely the strongest among the Wangxian.

Even the top-ranked Wangxian such as Nan Gong Xin and the Emperor Lord of Qingqiu were startled; the gap could be felt from that single sword.

The Xia Zi Sword Immortal had never acted in endless years.

Now, with one sword, he dazzled the world.

"Xia Zi… so strong?"

Even Lin Chuan was stunned for a long while, but considering the Xia Zi Sword Immortal's status, this power was not surprising.

Truth be told, the Xia Zi Sword Immortal should be the first supreme being in this great world to ascend to Immortal by proving his own Dao.

Before the Xia Zi, the Nine Immortals all relied on the Heavenly Dao Divine Office and Chaos Immortal Treasure to reach the Immortal Realm.

Xia Zi Sword Immortal is undoubtedly the pioneer of the age.

The greatest merit of the late ancient era.

If it weren't for his early ascension, he would have alone shouldered the burden of confronting Black Mist; give Xia Zi Sword Immortal a bit more time to temper, and he would surely become stronger.

In the distance, Headmaster Wang Chonghuan of the Lone Lamp Sword Sect stared off in a trance, murmuring to himself.

"What a powerful Sword Intent! Like the blazing sun, dazzling; before him, I am but a dim star."

Also a Sword Cultivator.

He can feel the disparity here the most.

"It seems this Xia Zi Sword Immortal truly is the Sword Immortal who once alone fought Black Mist in the ancient era."

"Will the Sword Maniac Uncle step out to duel him?"

The Lone Lamp Sword Sect has a person known as the Sword Maniac Ancestor, who was the champion of the Sword Path in the previous era, standing unrivaled.

Alas, unable to find an opponent, he seeks defeat alone.

The Sword Maniac Ancestor refuses to die that way, sealing himself in slumber, only yearning for a peak battle; regardless of victory or loss, whether he can reach the Immortal Realm, he must fulfill his wish.

Wang Chonghuan was pondering when a Sword Resonance rang through heaven and earth.

His eyes brightened, "He's coming! The Sword Maniac Uncle is coming!"

The Lone Lamp Sword Sect cares not about Lin Chuan's win or loss, nor about his life and death, and also does not care about the reputation of the Strongest Heavenly Demon Old Ancestor.

But the elegance of the Sword Path, as a Sword Sect, the Lone Lamp Sword Sect cannot ignore.

"Any more masters?"

Lin Chuan was speechless, yet he was no longer worried.

No matter how many there are, he is carefree today; at worst he'll act himself.

But he is eager to see how many will come this time; whether friend or foe, he'll note them in a little notebook for future reckoning.

"The Sword Path is not lonely!"

"My Dao is not lonely! Hahahahaha!"

Sword Light flickered, accompanied by booming laughter that echoed through heaven and earth.

"Lone Lamp Sword Sect's Wu Jiu, Daoist Friend, please discuss swords!"

Wu Jiu is the Sword Maniac's true name.

He hasn't claimed that title for a long time, because after reaching his pinnacle, no one is worthy of his name.

Lin Chuan silently recorded it.

After this battle, this Wu Jiu should be cut down, but the tally can be placed on the Lone Lamp Sword Sect's head.

"You? Sword Maniac Wu Jiu?"

Xia Zi Sword Immortal stood proudly, "You can't, go up together with your nephew."

Saying so, he drew a sword from behind and tossed it beside Lin Chuan.

At Lin Chuan's ear, Xia Zi's voice sounded,

"You kid, take it easy."

"The Corpse Demon Emperor is not dead; earlier I only beheaded a corpse puppet of his, and moreover the Demonic Path still has two pairs of eyes watching you."

"Once I deal with the Sword Maniac, I'll come help you; it won't be long."

"If you can't hold out, don't hide, act yourself."
