Chapter 45: White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash Enhances Sword Dao Divine Ability

Host: Yan Taibai

Gender: Male

Spirit Root: Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root

Age: Eleven years old

Status: Childhood stage

Realm: Foundation Establishment Early Stage

【First Immortal Cultivation Simulation completed: Reward, Metal Attribute Heavenly Spiritual Root】

【Second Immortal Cultivation Simulation completed: Reward, "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash"】

【Third Immortal Cultivation Simulation requirement: Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils. Progress value: 10/100. Additional divine ability: Sin Eye. Sin requirement: 60】.

A single "Yue Emperor" increased the progress value by seven, which means a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator can increase the progress value by seven.

For Yan Taibai, this was absolutely fantastic news.

If he were to exterminate a Demonic Path Golden Core Stage cultivator, he might just complete it directly.

However, whether he would live or die if he encountered such a Golden Core Stage Demonic Path cultivator was not certain.

Not to mention the Golden Core Stage, even in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there had only been the "Yue Emperor" himself over this past year.

It was just that Yan Taibai had not expected there to be so little defense in the Cold Palace, with only a few Black Fiend Cult members under the tenth level of Qi Refining keeping watch.

Therefore, Yan Taibai finished off this "Yue Emperor" with just one sword strike; the level of ease made him feel as if he were dreaming.

However, he quickly reacted, and without much time to check the items on the "Yue Emperor," he shoved the entire corpse into his Storage Bag all at once.

Once he dealt with the others, he would have plenty of time to check everything together with the other Black Fiend Cult cultivators.

And facts proved he had done the right thing; when he arrived above the Imperial Palace main hall where the Black Fiend Cult members were gathered, a chaotic brawl was already underway below.

Seeing this, Yan Taibai rubbed his nose, a look of satisfaction appearing on his face, and then, with a flick of his sleeve, a long sword gleaming with golden light appeared in his hand.

The next moment, he slashed downward.

Afterwards, the golden light surged, as if thousands of sharp golden sword Qi threads erupted and shot out.

In the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped the space of more than ten zhang below.

At this time, the Black Fiend Cult members and disciples who were fighting below to seize the "Black Fiend Cult Leader's" Storage Bag also reacted.

Instantly, terrified out of their wits, they shifted the direction of the defensive spells and magical artifacts they had been using to attack each other, aiming them toward the golden sword Qi threads.

Unfortunately, their level of cultivation and attacks stood no chance of resistance against the divine ability Yan Taibai had improved from the "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash": Ten Thousand Threads Under Heaven.

Under the threads transformed from the golden sword Qi, almost no Black Fiend Cult disciples could defend against this divine ability.

Their end was naturally extremely tragic; those with better luck were directly shot into honeycombs and died on the spot, with almost no prolonged suffering.

Those with worse luck, who protected their vital points but were pierced through elsewhere, screamed incessantly, losing the strength to continue resisting.

Without the "Black Fiend Cult Leader," the Black Fiend Cult disciples below had no power to resist a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator like Yan Taibai, and could only wait to be slaughtered like fish on a chopping block.

Of course, the most important thing was the sword dao divine ability Yan Taibai practiced: Ten Thousand Threads Under Heaven.

This was one of the most famous sword dao divine abilities among the Seven Sects, and the disciples of the Giant Sword Sect were particularly proficient in it.

As for the other sects, there was a reason for it: this divine ability originated from the Mysterious Sword Sect.

This sword dao divine ability was also quite useful, and especially now, with the help of the "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash" and Yan Taibai's slight improvements, its power had increased significantly.

However, if one did not practice the "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash," one need not even think about successfully practicing it.

Therefore, for this improved "Ten Thousand Threads Under Heaven," Yan Taibai was the only person in the entire cultivation world who could successfully practice it.

The "White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash" was the true "Metal Great Dao," and Yan Taibai had only just touched upon a tiny bit of the knowledge and profound meanings contained within it—not even a fraction—yet it had already benefited him immensely.

For example, relying solely on this move, Ten Thousand Threads Under Heaven, he had wiped out the entire Black Fiend Cult.

One could not say how powerful Ten Thousand Threads Under Heaven was; one could only say that the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash was terrifyingly formidable!

"Was it you who killed the Cult Leader?"

Just as Yan Taibai was preparing to finish off the remaining living Black Fiend Cult disciples below—not knowing whether they were lucky or unlucky—a voice suppressing intense pain interrupted his thoughts.

Following the sound, Yan Taibai saw a bald, burly man whose body was no different from a honeycomb; he raised an eyebrow, sized him up, and said thoughtfully.

"You are... Tieluo?"

As soon as these words were spoken, astonishment and disbelief surged onto Tieluo's originally pale face.

He never would have imagined that this Foundation Establishment cultivator, who had wiped out their entire Black Fiend Cult in the blink of an eye, actually knew him.

Yet he could guarantee he had never seen Yan Taibai before.

"Oh, it seems so. What a pity, to not have become a Blood Servant yet, truly a pity." Seeing Tieluo's expression, Yan Taibai shook his head and muttered to himself, full of regret.

But these words, falling into Tieluo's ears, left him so shocked that he completely lost his composure, even forgetting the intense pain in his body.

How did the other party know about the Blood Servant matter?

This matter was known only to him and a few other disciples in their twenties who had reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

Judging by the other party's tone, it seemed he should have already become a Blood Servant.

Who exactly was this person!

This was Tieluo's only doubt before he died.

And Yan Taibai had no intention of answering him; he patted his Storage Bag and took out a Metal Attribute Primary Intermediate Grade Talisman, the "Fire Sea Talisman."

Then, without a second thought and without the slightest hesitation or mercy, he threw it downward.

Instantly, the Fire Sea Talisman exploded ten zhang below Yan Taibai's feet, and immediately poured down like a meteor shower of heavenly fire.

In a moment, a sea of fire surged to the heavens; with the appearance of the fire sea, the sounds of pain disappeared completely, signifying that the Black Fiend Cult disciples had been liberated.

Tieluo was the same; he would never be able to know Yan Taibai's identity.

A moment later, Yan Taibai's 【Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils】 progress value increased by another point, reaching as high as eleven points.

It could be said that this single time was almost equivalent to his entire year of hard work.

And now, it was time for the harvest.

A quarter of an hour later, the towering sea of fire vanished, leaving behind only piles of blood-black ash and quite a few spoils of war for Yan Taibai.

Storage Bags, Magical Tools!

However, there were not many Storage Bags, only a dozen or so; clearly, only Black Fiend Cult disciples at the tenth level of the Qi Refining Stage or higher could possess a Storage Bag.

As for the Magical Tools left behind in the sea of fire, there were not many either; at the very least, they had to be Mid-tier Magical Tools.

But this was still a significant haul; if nothing else, there would at least be Spirit Stones, materials, and medicinal herbs.

After all, they had been doing evil for many years!

After the time it takes to eat a meal to finish collecting the spoils, Yan Taibai began examining the loot right there in the main hall of the Imperial Palace.

The Void Heaven Remnant Map was naturally obtained.

There were as many as ten Top-tier Magical Tools, as well as one Black Blood Blade that was a semi-Dharma Treasure.

Of course, the two things Yan Taibai valued most were the inheritance left behind by Jixuan and a map of the Seven Sects' mineral veins.
