Protagonist:

Jiang Xuan

"Today is your day of death!"

The Corpse Emperor nocked his bow and drew the string; though there was no arrow on the bow, the surging, turbulent killing intent poured out as if it were substantial.

The bowstring suddenly released, and Jiang Xuan felt as if a sharp blade were slicing at the space between his brows.

Black light enveloped the Star Sea, and the Vajra Ring Divine Ability stood steadily before his brow, successfully blocking that invisible arrow.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Xuan employed the Great Shift Divine Ability, his silhouette flashing as he charged straight toward the Primordial Forbidden Zone, determined to slay the Corpse Emperor.

However, in an instant, that terrifying aura that had made one's heart tremble upon their first encounter spread once more.

Before Jiang Xuan's eyes, there seemed to appear a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, where several Immortals fell miserably, and the scene caused the world before his eyes to be instantly covered in a sheet of crimson.

Almost at the same moment, a peerlessly sharp and fierce sword qi, like lightning cleaving the Void, shot forth. Jiang Xuan retreated hastily, but even so, his shoulder was grazed by the sword qi, and a bright flower of blood suddenly flew up.

In the blink of an eye, the aura of this Tian Di suddenly changed drastically, and a terrifying atmosphere entirely unlike anything before descended with a boom.

Bone-piercing killing intent spread wantonly, and a tragic aura like a surging tide swept across the sky and covered the earth; the entire Tian Di was dyed a shocking blood-red, and the scent of blood rushed to the nose.

Even the mysterious and unfathomable Four Great Forbidden Zones could not escape, all being tainted by this blood-like mist. The blood mist spread, slowly flowing, emitting a chilling, terrifying killing aura.

In different directions of the vast Tian Di, four Slaughter Swords hung like world-destroying demon gods, their sword bodies dyed with dark red demonic light, as if soaked in endless blood and condensed, with surging and turbulent killing qi.

On the sword bodies, ancient and blurred marks appeared and disappeared, each like the marks of time, deeply branded with the tragic scenes of slaying Immortals in the past—terrifying sights of gods spitting blood and Immortal souls wailing. Where the aura spread, it was as if the cold of Jiuyou Huangquan invaded the skin and eroded the bones; even the body of a Supreme could hardly withstand this bone-deep cold that penetrated the soul.

A cold glint flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes; with one glance he understood the fearsome fame and origin of these four Slaughter Swords. These were the supreme evil weapons of Lingbao Tianzun from the Mythological Era.

Lingbao Tianzun, with his Transcendent Sage wisdom, created the "Zu" character secret; his attainments in arrays reached the pinnacle, and throughout ancient and modern years, no one could stand beside him. This killing array diagram gathered his lifelong painstaking efforts and essence.

It is said that once this sword array is complete and personally controlled by a Great Emperor-level powerhouse, then even a Supreme of the Emperor Way at his peak would surely not escape the calamity of falling, being reduced to powder under the peerless sharpness of the sword array.

And now, four Supremes are jointly controlling this number-one killing array since ancient times; the terrifying pressure they release makes the Tian Di tremble. Jiang Xuan, trapped within the array—who could save him?

This is almost equivalent to a desperate situation, with life and death hanging by a thread; one careless move, and it would be body and Dao extinguished, soul and spirit scattered, vanishing without a trace from this World.

"These years, you have truly been plotting painstakingly!"

Jiang Xuan looked up and sighed lightly, his gaze revealing heaviness: "You have concealed Heavenly Secrets, operated the power of Creation, and by every means sought these four swords and the array diagram; now you have finally gotten your wish."

No wonder the Life Forbidden Zone had previously remained suppressed and endured until now before acting with such confidence. It turns out that not long ago, they successfully found and carefully refined the last Immortal Sword, filling in the final piece of the killing array; since then, without any misgivings, they bared their fangs at Jiang Xuan.

"Hmph, a hundred years ago you also used the four-sword killing array against the four Emperors; today we will use the true four swords to slay you—I wonder how you will feel?"

A mocking cold smile appeared on the Corpse Emperor's face; that voice seemed to come from Jiuyou Diyu, filled with bone-piercing cold.

These years, Jiang Xuan had indeed prepared against future troubles and made many contingency plans; regarding these four Immortal Swords and the array diagram, he was even more determined to obtain them, longing to control them and fuse them with his own four swords to add to his foundation and strength. Alas, fate toyed with him; he never succeeded and gained nothing.

"Today is your day of death!"

The Spirit Emperor roared madly, his eyes bloodshot, falling into a frenzy. He fully activated the Immortal Sword in his hand; in an instant, a blood light shot forth like lightning, cleaving the Void, carrying endless killing intent and destructive power, straight toward Jiang Xuan.

"Kill!"

The other three Great Supremes had sharp gazes and attacked simultaneously in an instant.

The four Immortal Swords trembled violently; in an instant, tens of thousands of chaotic sword lights surged forth like a bursting flood, each containing enough power to destroy stars, mercilessly slashing down at Jiang Xuan. At the same time, blood light filled the sky like a surging sea of blood pouring back, instantly drowning this Tian Di; the scent of blood rushed to the nose, nearly making one faint.

Such a deadly situation—even a perfect Great Emperor would find it hard to withstand, as if the great net of fate had tightly bound Jiang Xuan, unable to break free.

Jiang Xuan's Xuan Huang body light flickered uncertainly; under this violent attack, it rose and fell violently, constantly emitting crisp and urgent collision sounds, as if struggling to support itself and breathing with difficulty under this endless pressure.

Every chaotic sword light that fell carved deep marks on the Xuan Huang body; dense wounds crisscrossed, making its originally ancient and heavy body full of holes and on the verge of collapse. If not for the astonishing defense of the Xuan Huang body, Jiang Xuan would long ago have been pierced by this sword momentum like a sudden storm, suffering countless fatal wounds.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan was deeply trapped in the array; the array diagram spun madly, twisting and deforming the surrounding space; the four Immortal Swords shone to the extreme, as if they would tear this endless Void apart. That terrifying power capable of defying Heaven and slaying Immortals made this Tian Di change color, as if the end of the world had arrived, and everything would vanish into smoke under its chilling killing intent.

"Good that you come; let you see the true Zhu Xian Sword Array."

Hum!

A sword cry like the first thunderclap of Pangu's Axe boomed forth!

In an instant, this sword cry was like the roar of an ancient great beast, carrying the power to destroy Heaven and extinguish Earth, with a surging momentum, instantly penetrating the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

Under this sword cry, the Tian Di was instantly covered by a layer of seemingly substantial killing aura; that extremely cold aura, like a cold wind from the end of the Universe, made everyone's soul depths involuntarily give rise to a cold that could freeze the soul; the entire world fell into a deathly silence of panic under this pressure.

Far in the depths of the Outer Domain Star Sky, the sword cry was like the death knell of fate; the spiritual senses of the four Forbidden Zone Supremes were instantly as if pierced by a peerless divine weapon, madly sending out warnings.

"How is this possible!?"

"Why is his killing array so strong!"

In the flash of lightning and flint, their hearts were filled with an unprecedented, endless fear like an Abyss.

This fear was like a world-destroying flood, a fear that could make even gods tremble.

In the blink of an eye, their eyes revealed an indescribable fear, and a desperate cry erupted in their hearts simultaneously: "Great calamity approaches! This is a calamity of certain death!"

In the moment of life and death, the four Supremes hesitated not at all, burning themselves and undergoing Extreme Realm Sublimation. That Primordial Qi was as dazzling as the rising sun, as fierce as a Volcano erupting.

At the moment of Wind and Cloud meeting, in the Star Sky, lines of patterns suddenly lit up.

They were like eternal marks inscribed by the Heavenly Dao with a peerless divine sword; each pattern flickered with mysterious light, crisscrossing to form a magnificent painting scroll.

This painting scroll was like a creation diagram forged by the Great Dao of Tian Di when Chaos first opened; its patterns seemed to be the most ancient inscriptions in the Universe, engraving the origin of Time and the rise and fall of all things.

It spread between Tian Di with an indescribably magnificent momentum, as if it were the supreme Law displayed by Shang Cang to All Living Beings.

This painting scroll was actually a peerless killing array, covering the entire Qian Kun of Tian Di. The killing intent contained within was like a vast Ocean, endless, surging and spreading to every corner of the Universe, as if to devour all living beings.

The entire Star Sky had become a perfect killing array; it was heart-stoppingly beautiful, yet extremely dangerous.

Every star was like a chess piece in the array, operating in the dark according to the will of the Heavenly Dao.

The next moment, the sword cry echoed throughout the Universe.

Four sword radiance of green-black, red, and white colors, like four Heaven Pillars supporting Tian Di, and like the foundation of this peerless killing array, indestructible and unshakable, reflecting the entire Universe in dazzling colors.

A situation of certain death!

The Four Great Supremes presided over the Spiritual Treasure Killing Array, hoping to break one killing array with another, but trapped within the array, they could not break it no matter what.

The Four Great Supremes fell into the most dangerous situation; since their birth they had never been so passive, unable to resolve it—this was beyond human power.

"Clang"

The Immortal Matron was instantly pierced through; with a puff, a blood hole appeared on her body—this was the first killing, and next would come a storm of attacks.

As expected, the array diagram turned, its aura growing ever stronger. Jiang Xuan stood high above the Nine Heavens, Immortal Light shooting forth, killing tribulations boundless; none could resist or resolve them.

No matter how great the divine powers of the Four Great Supremes, within the array blood blossomed; the Spiritual Treasure Killing Array faintly showed signs of destruction. They faced the first killing array head-on, suffering dozens of chaotic sword lights.

Blood dyed the great array red. Though the Four Great Supremes possessed earth-shaking power, they still narrowly escaped death—this was beyond human power to resist!

The Four Great Supremes at Extreme Realm Sublimation presided over the greatest killing array of ancient and modern times, yet they could not even confront Jiang Xuan.

"Emperor Jiang Tian is invincible!"

Countless people's throats went dry, their hot blood boiling!

The Green Sword Light was like a dream and illusion; wherever it passed, all things became sluggish, everything turning into black-and-white dim colors, as if time itself were made manifest.

The Black Sword Light was elusive and untraceable, dwelling in an endless lofty realm, yet giving a sense of being omnipresent and omnipotent, pervading every inch of space in the universe's void.

The Red Sword Light was vast and boundless, as if it were the origin of energy between Heaven and Earth, giving birth to all things and the laws of Heaven and Earth.

The White Sword Light was majestic and pure, seemingly the material manifestation of all things—able to condense everything and crush all things, as if it were both the beginning of all and the end of all things.

Four Heaven Pillars of different colors stood erect, giving birth to endless four-colored sword lights that interwove and entwined, plunging everything between Heaven and Earth into chaos, creating a chaotic Great World.

In this world, time, space, matter, and energy interwove and entwined, evolving into all signs of ending—destruction, slaughter, freezing, annihilation—as if to carry the Myriad Realms into the abyss of destruction and ending.

Blood flowers splattered like waterfalls and tides, reaching a height of three thousand zhang; this was no exaggeration, but the true miserable state of the Four Great Supremes trapped in the killing array.

Within that array, countless sword qi surged toward the Four Great Supremes like wind and sudden rain; every strand of sword qi seemed like a death god claiming lives, leaving them instantly grievously wounded.

The situation had become critically desperate. Jiang Xuan's talent was stunning through ancient and modern times; the array diagram he controlled was like the devil's mouth from the depths of Hell, killing intent surging like waves, endless.

With a thought, four peerless divine swords burst forth, brilliant yet icy cold; wherever their edges pointed, nothing could withstand them.

Even if that Great Emperor who shook the universe were placed within this array, he would likely be sliced into powder by this fierce sword qi.

The Four Great Supremes were now nearly blood-men, wounds crisscrossing their bodies, hideous and terrifying. Just the front-and-back blood holes numbered over twenty.

Crimson blood spurted forth, splattering wildly; every drop contained terrifying power enough to pierce a Quasi-Emperor, as if the life force of the Four Great Supremes was gradually fading with the loss of blood.

"Hmph, a trapped beast still struggles—nothing but futile resistance!"

Jiang Xuan's gaze was calm, as if the life and death of the Four Great Supremes were nothing but the struggles of ants in his eyes, not worth mentioning.

At this moment, he had seized absolute initiative. Once this killing array, called the greatest since ancient times, was unleashed, it was more terrifying than Lingbao Tianzun's killing array.

Its power was enough to sweep across Tianxia; whoever dared to invade would be reduced to ashes under the terrifying pressure of this killing array, powerless to strike back.

"Like a killing array, yet like a forbidden secret art." A Forbidden Zone Supreme not yet born was struck with heart palpitations.

"This art surpasses the Nine Secrets; Emperor Jiang Tian's power is awe-inspiring!"

"Has he truly not Proven the Dao?"

The entire Universe Eight Wastelands lamented, as if the death knell of the apocalypse had been struck; every heart was shrouded in gloom, as if about to fall into deathly silence.

Zhu Xian Sword Array!

Since Jiang Xuan refined this peerless great array, as his cultivation deepened day by day, his control over this great array grew ever more proficient, and his understanding of its true meaning grew ever deeper.

Now, this great array had almost become his strongest attack method, unleashable with a single thought. For hundreds of years he had collected countless bodies, yet refined no other Magic Treasures or divine powers; apart from the reason that the Zhu Xian Sword Array ranked first among attacking divine powers, another main reason was that divine powers were not better the more numerous—one divine power cultivated to the extreme could also be World Invincible.

Though those four Supremes had once Overlorded the Universe and looked down upon Tian Di, when the Zhu Xian Sword Array appeared, a chill shot straight to their Tianling Covers.

Before the ending power of the Zhu Xian Sword Array, whether Immortals or True Immortals, they were like ants, unable to withstand a single blow, doomed to destruction.

At this moment, all Masters of the Forbidden Zones of the Universe Eight Wastelands, through Array Formations, witnessed the supreme pressure of the great array above the Star Sky; even they felt an inexpressible terror.

That sword array was like the source of destruction between Heaven and Earth; at the moment of its appearance, everyone seemed to foresee the world's collapse, the withering of all things, their souls shrouded in despairing deathly silence.

Merely seeing that great array, the various Supremes' qi and blood surged, and cultivators fainted one after another, as if that sword array were the incarnation of the power of destruction between Heaven and Earth.

After regaining their senses, everyone was still terrified beyond measure.

That array was even more terrifying!

What kind of terrifying great array was this?

Compared with it, the Spiritual Treasure Killing Array was far inferior.

Would the Heavenly Emperor slaughter four Forbidden Zone Supremes again? (Chapter End)
