Chapter 203: Divine Weapon! (Two-in-one, please subscribe)

The moment the pitch-black giant hand moved from afar to near.

The Immortal Boats in the sky were all enveloped in a kind of terrifying pressure.

Countless Cultivators within them were all struck by a feeling that a great disaster was imminent.

"Still not leaving yet!"

Sword Elder let out an angry shout upon seeing this; under the vibration of the sound, the other Cultivators on the Immortal Boat were shaken as if waking from a dream.

They hurriedly operated the Immortal Boat's levitation array, attempting to dodge the pitch-black giant hand opening up below.

There were also Golden Core Cultivators who did not trust their own vehicles; they soared into the air to leave the Immortal Boat, then immediately summoned Spirit Tools or Talismans, attempting to escape.

As for resistance... after discovering they could not destroy this Evil Spirit existence that had merged with the earth veins.

These experts from various sects and factions no longer wanted to continue wasting Dharma Power and Spirit Objects.

However, in the blink of an eye... the experts who had performed escape techniques attempting to get away all changed their expressions, discovering that their various life-saving escape techniques had actually failed.

Even after the Vice Sect Master of the Artifact Heart Sect successfully disappeared upon using a Secret Treasure to perform the Space Teleportation Technique... before anyone could feel joy in their hearts.

They discovered that this successful person had instead appeared directly in the palm of that pitch-black giant hand.

Sludge surged from the palm, covering the Vice Sect Master's lower body, causing their protective radiance to dim rapidly.

"What is going on, why have the escape techniques failed!"

"Damn it! What are you still standing there like fools for? Operate the attack and defense array, you must not let that giant hand get close to the Immortal Boat!"

Discovering that the escape techniques had failed, the many Cultivators were all shaken in body and mind, with expressions of panic and unease appearing on their faces.

Fortunately, the Great Abilities were not so pathetic; being experienced and knowledgeable, they quickly recovered.

"Heavenly Sword... unsheathe!"

Sword Elder struck with the sword again, and the hundred-meter Bronze Heavenly Sword collided with the pitch-black giant hand in the blink of an eye.

Causing that constantly rising palm to pause abruptly.

The collision also caused a ring of air waves to appear in the high sky, sweeping toward the distance.

Even Su Ping's true body, hiding in the Jiuye Mountain Market, could faintly see this strange phenomenon appearing on the horizon.

Following this strike from the Bronze Heavenly Sword, the Vice Sect Master of the Artifact Heart Sect was able to seize the opportunity to break free and hurriedly retreated to the Sect Master's side.

Sword Elder had blocked the giant hand with one strike, but felt immense heartache.

The hundred-meter blade of that Heavenly Sword had now completely retracted.

The entire Spirit Treasure had already transformed into a plain and unadorned Bronze Short Sword.

"What are you all still waiting for!"

Sword Elder shouted in a low voice:

"If we do not crush this Evil Spirit Avatar and break the spatial confinement, we shall all be buried here!"

"Well said!"

Panlong Venerable also nodded, took off his Kasaya, and threw it out.

After that red, gold-gilded Kasaya flew off the Immortal Boat, it instantly became as large as to cover the sky and sun.

Following the sound of an Amitabha.

Inside the golden Immortal Boat where Panlong Venerable was located, thousands of Fomen disciples sat cross-legged with eyes closed, hands pressed together, chanting the Demon-Subduing Buddha Sutra.

The Kasaya also shone with great Golden Light, causing the pitch-black giant hand below to emit black mist continuously, as if it had encountered concentrated acid metal.

As the black mist emerged, one could faintly hear the painful wails of thousands of wronged souls.

Seeing that the Fomen Spirit Treasure was effective, the Elders of the Artifact Heart Sect also hurriedly cooperated by pouring in Dharma Power to support it.

The Sect Master of the Artifact Heart Sect, after swallowing a precious Pill, once again summoned the sect's Supreme Treasure, the Double Dragon Copper Mirror, and had it shine toward the Kasaya below.

In the next breath.

Two dark red, thousand-meter-long divine dragon phantoms appeared on this Double Dragon Copper Mirror.

These two divine dragon phantoms fell into the Kasaya in the blink of an eye.

Boom!

In addition to Buddha light, the Kasaya also erupted with raging fire.

This fire from the divine dragons was somewhat more effective against the Evil Spirit than other flames.

Looking from afar, it seemed as if a fire cloud covering a hundred-mile radius was slowly pressing down.

And that pitch-black giant hand supporting the sky was retreating step by step because the sky was collapsing...

"My Fo is merciful!"

In the golden Immortal Boat, the several High Monks sitting at the very front chanted a Buddha name.

Golden flames erupted from their bodies.

They were actually sacrificing their own physical bodies to transform into Buddha light, which fell into the Kasaya below.

However, these High Monks were not truly dead.

After sacrificing their physical bodies, their Divine Soul phantoms appeared on the spot, and after bowing to bid farewell to the disciples behind them, they transformed into individual Buddha Beads.

After these Buddha Beads were brought back to the Dajinguang Temple, they could all enter the Buddha Kingdom Secret Realm to continue practicing Fomen Secret Techniques to recast their physical bodies.

Or they could directly become Vajra Arhats of Fomen, just like incense gods.

Panlong Venerable also used this reinforcement to allow the Kasaya's downward pressure to accelerate.

The Left Envoy of the Ten Directions Sect no longer begrudged his own trump card.

Knowing that this was a moment of life and death, he also threw out his life-saving trump card, a Talisman bestowed by the Sect Leader.

This Talisman contained the Ten Directions Annihilation Great Divine Ability of the last Holy Son of the Ten Directions Sect.

After the Talisman split open in the air, a pale blue phantom giant hand appeared in the high sky.

And then, like a mountain, it swooped down.

It passed through the Kasaya that had transformed into a burning cloud and smashed into the pitch-black giant hand.

The entire palm of that pitch-black giant hand was caused to collapse and disintegrate instantly.

Then the wrist, followed by the entire arm...

In the space of a breath, looking from afar, Su Ping saw that patch of burning cloud crush the pitch-black giant hand and plunge directly into the deep pit.

It caused the earth to shake violently once more, producing wave after wave of tremors like a massive earthquake.

"Run quickly!"

He felt the spatial confinement around him vanish.

Sword Elder, who had long felt exhausted and drained of all energy, was the first to turn and leave.

By the time the sound emerged, he had already transformed into a streak of light and vanished.

The other sects also fled one after another, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would be unable to escape again!

Su Ping watched this scene unfold.

Seeing that the Memory Illusion was nearing its end, he stopped running and simply let the illusion stay underground to continue observing with his Divine Sense.

Sure enough, even after using so many powerful Spirit Treasures and Secret Techniques.

It was still impossible to kill that Supreme Elder of the Artifact Heart Sect.

Before long, a pitch-black giant hand surged out from the deep pit once again.

As this pitch-black giant hand seemed to perceive that the enemies had all left.

The pitch-black giant hand melted in mid-air into a large head resembling a sludge monster.

Then, this mountain-like head let out a giggle toward a certain direction.

Crack!

A Nine-Story Pagoda appeared in front of the sludge monster.

Accompanied by the Nine-Story Pagoda flashing with blue light a few times.

Sword Elder's voice came from within the pagoda:

"How is it possible that you can still activate the Shift Pagoda!"

"Hehehe!"

The sludge monster opened its mouth and let out a mocking sound:

"Sword Elder, you who are merely a slightly stronger ant, how could you know the greatness of our Master?"

"Under the Master's grace, I have realized the true method of using power."

"My previous Spirit Treasures can naturally also be activated using this power!"

"It is just a pity that time is short, and there are still some troubles I have not been able to resolve."

"Otherwise!"

"This time, not one of you ants would be able to leave!"

"Heavenly Sword Exorcising Evil!"

Inside the Nine-Story Pagoda, Sword Elder did not give up, but instead drove his divine weapon to begin resisting.

The Shift Pagoda is a Supreme Treasure of the sect mastered by the Supreme Elder of the Artifact Heart Sect, possessing the ability of the Shift Shadow Technique.

It can lock onto a target from a distance and then confine the opponent inside the pagoda.

Clearly, Sword Elder had already been locked onto by this Supreme Elder of the Artifact Heart Sect when he struck with his sword earlier.

He became the lucky one who, while everyone else could run, was the only one who could not!

Yet, Sword Elder was, after all, a Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Even when encountering a dangerous situation, he did not panic, but while resisting the Evil Qi surging into the pagoda like a physical entity.

He actually found a flaw in the pagoda.

Accompanied by a sword light piercing through the pagoda wall, he struck out a gap!

Sword Elder's figure appeared outside the pagoda in the blink of an eye, and then he faced the mountain-like sludge monster alone.

Relying on the Bronze Heavenly Sword, Sword Elder unleashed everything he had learned in his life.

Sword Qi crisscrossed for a thousand miles, slicing through the earth and tearing the sky.

He also cut the mountain-sized sludge monster into seven or eight pieces many times.

However, no matter how sharp the Sword Qi was, it still could not kill the opponent.

This time, he could not even break the spatial confinement.

This meant that even though Sword Elder had defeated his opponent, he had no chance to escape.

Once again pushing himself to the limit, squeezing the limits of his own Nascent Soul, he swung a sword that split the monster before him in two.

Sword Elder's tied-up long hair had long since come undone and had turned into dull, lusterless white hair.

His skin was also covered in wrinkles and had lost all elasticity.

In just a few minutes of intense fighting.

Sword Elder had shockingly transformed into a decrepit, dying old man.

The sludge on the ground slowly writhed, gradually expelling the Sword Qi that had pierced into its body.

"You can no longer swing another sword!"

"Do you feel the moment of your death approaching?"

"Do not think that death will bring you relief; your Divine Soul will become the raw material for me to repair the pagoda!"

"Unless... open your heart and defenses, and merge with me into the great Master!"

"You should have seen how powerful we are after merging, right?"

The Supreme Elder of the Artifact Heart Sect tempted Sword Elder.

However, Sword Elder looked at the other party with pity.

"How much longer do you intend to deceive yourself?"

"Right now, you are not even as good as a dog; you are merely an Avatar on the other side, to be kneaded at will."

"You don't even own your own memories anymore, yet you still fantasize about having a future?"

"Hahahaha, in my entire life, I have never pinned my hope on others!"

"If you want to eat me, let's see if your teeth are up to the task!"

As Sword Elder said this, his entire body suddenly erupted with blinding white light.

In the next instant, this Sword Elder transformed into a thousand-meter-tall Sword Immortal composed of white light.

This Sword Immortal's appearance seemed to be that of Sword Elder's former self.

He flicked his sword finger.

From all directions in the sky, countless Zhuxie Sword Shadows appeared once more, all aimed simultaneously at the silt in the deep pit.

"Ten Thousand Swords Exorcising Evil... Draw swords!"

Accompanied by the voice emitted by Sword Elder's phantom, it resounded across most of the Jinzi Domain.

Ten thousand sword shadows fell in unison, almost turning the Yunshan area into a vast, white expanse of crisscrossing sword Qi.

Su Ping was also stunned by this Nascent Soul ultimate technique.

Such an ultimate technique, if placed on Water Blue Star—

It would likely be enough to destroy a nation in a single strike!

The high-yield Nuclear Bombs possessed by various major powers could not compare to it in terms of destructive power or range of devastation.

The only thing that might have a chance of winning would perhaps be the extreme high temperature at the very center of a nuclear explosion, which is like the Sun?

The sword Qi only slowly dissipated after lasting for several dozen seconds.

Dissipating along with it was that white-haired Sword Elder who had refused the temptation...

At Jiuye Mountain Market, Su Ping thought for a moment before decisively raising the Memory Scepter.

He summoned the second Memory Illusion.

Then, the moment Valkyrie Kong appeared, she vanished from Jiuye Mountain in the blink of an eye.

She headed toward where Sword Elder had activated that Bronze Heavenly Sword to prevent the Heavenly Sword from being left behind for the evil god when he unleashed that final strike.

He had let it transform into a streak of light and escape the Yunshan area the moment the Ten Thousand Swords Exorcising Evil broke through the spatial seal.

Relying on the Memory Illusion, Su Ping saw the direction of this streak of light.

Knowing in his heart that this must be Sword Elder's relic,

under the temptation of a Nascent Soul relic, he still could not hold back and decided to send the Memory Illusion to seize this Immortal Fate!

Inside the Immortal Boat of the Heavenly Sword Sect, a series of painful cries suddenly rang out.

The Immortal Boat of the Artifact Heart Sect, following closely behind, also heard these cries.

While the Sect Master and Elders were sighing endlessly, they also felt a sense of guilt toward the Heavenly Sword Sect.

After all, Sword Elder's fall was also related to their Artifact Heart Sect seeking reinforcements.

A few breaths later.

More than a dozen sword lights flew out from the Heavenly Sword Sect's Immortal Boat.

They were preparing to search for the relic left behind by Sword Elder.

It was just that at that point in time, Sword Elder had already used his last bit of Dharma Power to activate the Heavenly Sword and escape.

Coupled with the fact that the spatial seal still existed, he no longer had the opportunity to leave information for his own sect.

Not knowing the specific location or even the direction, but knowing it must exist, the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples' sword lights quickly split into five or six teams heading in different directions.

Using the Secret Technique of the Heavenly Sword Sect, they were confident that after spending some time, they would definitely be able to find Sword Elder's relic.

The Sect Master of the Artifact Heart Sect also understood the situation.

Thinking of that bronze sword, a trace of greed flashed through his heart as well.

But in the end, he shook his head and let go of this greed.

The Artifact Heart Sect no longer even had its main sect peak, and most of its disciples were dead or injured.

To provoke a major sect of the same rank at this time—

That would truly be too stupid!

The other sects on the Immortal Boats also had similar thoughts to a greater or lesser extent.

Even though they guessed what the Heavenly Sword Sect was doing, none of them stepped in to interfere.

However, the small sects and Su Ping, who had no idea what was happening, naturally did not care about any of this.

When Valkyrie Kong arrived at the dark gray mountain range where the streak of light had landed,

the small sects nearby that had seen the streak of light also felt the extraordinary aura left behind by it, and realizing that the Immortal Fate was extraordinary, they excitedly rushed over with all their assets.

"Immortal Fate has descended from the heavens; it must be taken by those with affinity!"

"We are all old acquaintances; why don't we set some rules and let the younger generation try their luck?"

Above the mountain range, several Foundation Establishment cultivators representing their respective families and sects gathered together, probing each other.

They had all seen the streak of light smash through the mountain wall and enter the karst cave within.

Thus, they were all tempted and wanted to find an opportunity to claim it for themselves.

A family Foundation Establishment cultivator made a suggestion.

It was immediately opposed by the other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The reason was also very simple.

Among the younger generation of this family Foundation Establishment cultivator, there was a genius at Dharma combat.

Although he is only at the Qi Refining Late Stage, he is extremely talented in spell dueling; below Foundation Establishment, no one is his match!

The atmosphere subsequently turned deadlocked.

The Foundation Establishment cultivators' eyes darted about.

They all understood that time waits for no one when it comes to Immortal Fate, so they quickly reached an agreement.

In a short amount of time, the Foundation Establishment cultivators split into two factions, and just as they were about to come to blows!

Suddenly!

A figure broke through the blockade of the disciples in the distance.

They appeared directly above the mountain range.

This was a stunningly beautiful young girl with white hair and red eyes.

The young girl's gaze swept across the surroundings.

Her gaze did not linger on these Foundation Establishment cultivators at all, but instead fixed upon the hole smashed open by the Heavenly Sword.

Valkyrie Kong saw the target and was about to make a move.

"Wait!"

The family cultivator who had proposed the younger generation's involvement spoke up hurriedly, feeling annoyed in his heart.

Everyone here is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, even if you, this young girl, appear to have a deep background.

You cannot look down on them like this!

"Hmm?"

"Boring!"

Valkyrie Kong did not give that Foundation Establishment cultivator any time to continue speaking.

She pointed her right index finger forward.

Boom!

The family Foundation Establishment cultivator who had spoken flew out like a cannonball, plunging into the cliff face opposite and smashing directly into the mountain.

"Where did this demoness come from!"

Seeing Valkyrie Kong attack directly without a word.

The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators were all somewhat stunned.

After they reached Foundation Establishment, they realized the principle that cultivation is not just about fighting and killing.

Everyone cherishes their lives, and under normal circumstances, they would not make a move against those of the same realm.

The actions of this red-eyed, white-haired girl before them, however, reminded them of those terrible memories from their Qi Refining days.

"This demoness wants to monopolize the Immortal Fate!"

"Attack her first! She struck first, we won't be in the wrong!"

The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators all attempted to attack.

Yet they did not expect that Valkyrie Kong had already treated all the Foundation Establishment cultivators present as enemies the moment she struck to send that one person flying.

Before the surrounding Foundation Establishment cultivators could take out their Dharma Artifacts and Talismans.

Accompanied by Valkyrie Kong snapping her right hand.

Snap!

Because of the sudden spatial explosion, the Foundation Establishment cultivators all had their arms or legs severed, and after losing the protection of their divine abilities and Dharma Power, they fell toward the surroundings while screaming.

Valkyrie Kong's heart stirred, and she grabbed with her left hand.

She took away all the Storage Bags of those falling Foundation Establishment cultivators as compensation for disturbing her.

All around, those Qi Refining disciples who had been brought along were dumbfounded.

No matter what, they could never have imagined that the Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators, who always had the final say in their eyes.

Would be so easily dealt with by a young girl.

"So... so powerful!"

"This must be a heaven-gifted genius from a great sect or even an Immortal Sect, right?"

"Invincible in the same realm! This must be the heaven-gifted genius cultivator who is invincible in the same realm from the novels!"

The disciples looked at Valkyrie Kong with envy.

Facing such an existence, these people found it difficult to even feel jealousy.

And after Valkyrie Kong dealt with the small fry in the surroundings.

Her figure moved and she entered the karst cave.

Immediately, she saw the Bronze Short Sword stuck in the ground.

This Heavenly Sword was now only one meter long, and the sword body was dim and lusterless.

It even had green rust spots appearing on it.

Valkyrie Kong reached out and grasped the hilt.

She immediately felt this Heavenly Sword's resistance toward her.

Crackle!

Valkyrie Kong's white hair suddenly fanned out and floated above her head.

Her Space Talent was fully activated.

The Bronze Short Sword also began to shake violently.

In its hazy consciousness as a Heavenly Sword.

It suddenly discovered with surprise.

The person before it who was seizing it.

Although she is not a Cultivator who has practiced the Heavenly Sword Technique.

Yet it seems... she is even more exceptionally gifted than every one of its previous masters?

A Mark left behind by Sword Elder, intended to influence and resist any non-Heavenly Sword Sect disciple from seizing the Divine Weapon.

Yet after lasting for a few seconds, it was instead suppressed by the will of the Divine Weapon itself.

After confirming the talent of Valkyrie Kong.

The Heavenly Sword Divine Weapon suddenly felt that perhaps changing to a new master might be quite good?
