Chapter 279: Sword Seed, Looking for Death!

While Lu Yang assisted his split soul in breaking through the tribulation within the 【Boundless Heaven】, he did not forget to keep an eye on the battlefield between True Person Dangmo and the 【Xuan Ling Realm】.

To be honest, he was somewhat worried.

After all, True Person Dangmo was only one person; for some reason, the Jiange had not sent any other reinforcements, with everyone else being just a scattered few.

But upon second thought, Lu Yang calmed down again.

In his view, the cultivators of the 【Xuan Ling Realm】 were still too naive; what kind of broken place was this? Did they really think everyone would fight them at the same realm?

'Not to mention that the Jiange side only sent out True Person Dangmo, which likely means they have immense confidence in him; even if a slight crisis truly arose, would the True Lords of the Jiange just stand by and watch? At the very least, that 【Chengtian Zhengde True Lord】 from the Ye family would surely slash over with a single sword qi across the void!'

In any case, they already had experience with this.

Back then, how arrogant was Patriarch You of the Ting Sect? Wasn't he also slashed to death by a single sword like this? For a True Lord, there was no difference between the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment and the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

However, very soon, Lu Yang realized he was the naive one.

There was absolutely no need for a True Lord to make a move.

High above the dome of heaven, True Person Dangmo stood with his hands behind his back; without unsheathing his sword, he merely manifested the景象 of a Blessed Land and blocked everyone from the 【Xuan Ling Realm】!

"Fellow Daoist, stop."

True Person Dangmo sighed: "The four Dao Lords have laid out their plans, using the myriad worlds and heavens as food."

"The 【Xuan Ling Realm】 where you reside is considered relatively large; with a Fruit Position existing in the world and not much contact time yet, there is still time to escape. If you depart promptly and sever your connection to this realm, you might still hope to escape with your life; otherwise, given time, it will inevitably lead to the devastation of all living beings in this entire realm."

True Person Dangmo's words were sincere and earnest, yet Minghua Celestial Immortal simply could not understand them.

Dao Lords? What kind of realm is that?

More importantly... he always felt he had no issues; although True Person Dangmo's strength exceeded his expectations, he still felt certain of victory in this endeavor!

"Summon 【Ling Yang】!"

The next second, Minghua Celestial Immortal formed a hand seal, causing a wheel of heavenly fire to appear above his head; he held it in his palm just like that, radiating endless light and heat, as orange-red splendor scattered in all directions, distorting all things as if they were about to fall into that wheel of heavenly fire in his hand!

This treasure was his greatest confidence for this journey.

Its name was 【Ling Yang】; as the name suggests, it was essentially the manifestation of the sun of the 【Xuan Ling Realm】, refined by the Supreme Being of the 【Xuan Ling Realm】!

"Boom!"

In an instant, the raging heavenly fire resembled a gluttonous beast, ruthlessly devouring everything around it, causing even True Person Dangmo to furrow his brows involuntarily.

He was not afraid of such methods.

However, Ye Guyue behind him, Ye Xingfeng, and even the group of those at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment could not hold on; clearly, Minghua Celestial Immortal had seen through the situation.

'You want to protect these people!'

'Truly a stubborn fool; in that case, I will use them to distract your energy; as one wanes and the other waxes, no matter how powerful you are, you are still no match for me!'

Minghua Celestial Immortal calculated brilliantly; at this moment, he urged 【Ling Yang】 into action, sending wave after wave of an orange-red sea of fire, clearly aiming for wide-scale slaughter, encompassing not only the group of True Persons behind True Person Dangmo but also intending to destroy the ten thousand li of fertile land below together with them!

Seeing this scene, True Person Dangmo finally dropped his compassionate expression and placed his hand on the Dharma sword at his waist.

The sword was named 【No Kill】; its guard was inlaid with the array patterns of the Heavenly Gang and Northern Dipper, its hilt wrapped in five-colored shark silk to draw lightning, its scabbard covered in leather from a Black Tortoise bearing a map, and its tassel knotted from the fruit of the Taiyi Green Amaranth.

"... eaven's will."

A faint sigh echoed.

Before the voice had faded, sword intent surged to the heavens; True Person Dangmo simply drew three feet of flowing light from the scabbard, instantly submerging the square of heaven and earth visible to the eye.

This sword strike began like the Silver River collapsing the clouds, its momentum like a white rainbow drinking from a mountain stream.

Wherever it passed, the wind condensed into crystal, light stagnated into rosy clouds; before the sword's roar even arose, it had already crushed the sun and moon, rolling back flying fires; when the afterimage finally arrived, one could still see the layered clouds of the nine heavens tearing like silk.

The sword light condensed frost into blades and shattered jade into rays, with cyan and white colors intertwining upon it, resembling a azure dragon holding the moon in its mouth; just like that, upright and centered, it slashed straight into the sea of fire filling the sky created by Minghua Celestial Immortal, sweeping up that entire sky-filling sea of fire, surging upward into the clouds, and finally exploding at the furthest reaches of the heavenly dome.

"Whoosh!"

The roar that should have been a great sound becoming silent left only a gentle breeze upon landing; one saw only residual light condensing into green phoenixes chasing the sun, and sword qi scattering into white deer holding branches in their mouths.

'What a magnificent sword light!'

Lu Yang saw this scene clearly; compared to this single strike, the sword lights unleashed by other True Persons of the Jiange could not even be called swords!

This was absolutely not the power of a divine ability!

'No wonder the Yushu Jiange dares to claim to be number one in combat; this strike is likely the true essence of the Jiange... simply overwhelmingly powerful beyond belief!'

Minghua Celestial Immortal, and even the three Earth Immortals behind him, were all swept away by True Person Dangmo's single strike, landing at the furthest reaches of the heavenly dome, drifting down across the sky, leaving only seven Human Immortals comparable to the Mid Stage of Foundation Establishment remaining in place, their expressions panicked, each covered in blood, having simultaneously suffered heavy injuries!

"Attack!"

Almost simultaneously, Ye Guyue transmitted via spiritual sense: "They have been hit by Uncle's 【No Kill Sword Intent】; their combat power is currently less than fifty percent of their peak!"

After all, Minghua Celestial Immortal was at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment in the 【Xuan Ling Realm】.

Plus the three Earth Immortals comparable to the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment; even True Person Dangmo could not kill them instantly with one sword; there had to be some time for entanglement and struggle.

If True Person Dangmo disregarded the lives of others, he could certainly unleash his sword freely; however, since he intended to protect people, he naturally had to expend more effort; therefore, he not only brought Minghua Celestial Immortal and the others to the furthest reaches of the heavenly dome but also deliberately scattered his sword qi to severely injure the remaining seven Human Immortals.

Everything was arranged perfectly.

In his calculation, under such a situation, Ye Guyue and Ye Xingfeng were sufficient to clean up, after all, both were True Persons of the Jiange and direct disciples of a True Lord.

However—

"Xingfeng, do not use your full strength later."

While making their move, Ye Guyue secretly transmitted to Ye Xingfeng beside him: "Uncle is stubborn and has been taken advantage of by heart demons; we ought to share the burden for our Martial Uncle."

"Share the burden?" Ye Xingfeng was somewhat confused.

"Exactly!" Ye Guyue said in a deep voice: "【Shen Gold】 is a heavenly and earthly treasure; it belongs to those with virtue; how can we let that scattered cultivator from Jiangbei named Lu Yang possess it?"

"Uncle not taking it shows he is confused."

"That scattered cultivator resides in Jiangbei and is already entangled with karmic debts; allowing him to join the Jiange after reincarnation is already heavenly grace; how can we indulge him further like this?"

Ye Xingfeng deeply agreed with this but couldn't help frowning: "But if we take 【Shen Gold】, how do we explain it to Uncle?"

"That's simple." Ye Guyue said coldly: "Later, you deliberately leave an opening."

"Let these people from outside the heavens kill that scattered cultivator; once he is dead, 【Shen Gold】 will be ownerless; we can then take it back, and naturally, we will be able to explain it to Uncle."

"As for that scattered cultivator, if he dies, he dies."

"This can be considered his karmic fate; we can just send him to reincarnate; at worst, we can guide him to join the Jiange in the future, take him as a disciple, and settle the karma."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xingfeng immediately nodded: "Good!"

With this thought, the sword light in both their hands instantly loosened for a moment.

Both sides were already in fierce battle; the seven Human Immortals of the 【Xuan Ling Realm】, led by Cheng Xian, naturally noticed this flaw immediately.

'Opportunity... first take 【Shen Gold】!'

Cheng Xian did not hesitate in the slightest; he immediately rode a beam of escaping light, passed through Ye Guyue's blockade, and killed his way into the boat following the sensation of 【Shen Gold】!

On the other side, Ye Xingfeng was also 'coincidentally' held back by the other Human Immortals.

"Boom!"

The next second, the secluded chamber where Lu Yang was in closed-door cultivation was directly smashed apart, revealing the scene within.

In the shattered secluded chamber, Lu Yang's split soul returned from the 【Boundless Heaven】, opened his eyes, and the four divine abilities in his sea of consciousness were clearly shining brightly!

"Heh..."

Lu Yang's main body had been monitoring the battlefield the entire time; how could the little tricks of Ye Guyue and Ye Xingfeng escape his notice? At this moment, he naturally laughed coldly:

'Sword Seed... looking for death!'
