(Something happened in the morning, so the update was late.)
An illusory figure flashed by at lightning speed and revealed itself. It was a skinny black-robed man who stood in the void like an illusion.
"Sword Sovereign Wushuang, you live up to your reputation as number one on the Divine Lord List. Despite being struck by my Abyss Demon Shadow, you were able to escape and even injure me." The illusory figure's tone was erratic but it was filled with surprise.
Previously, he had discussed the Divine Lord List with the eighteen Devil Sons. They had been dismissive of the geniuses on the Divine Lord List because both of them had killed geniuses on the Divine Lord List before. Moreover, they had killed more than one genius on the Divine Lord List. Killing them was as easy as killing chickens.
Therefore, they did not pay much attention to the number one Divine Lord List God Destroying King or Unparalleled Sword King. They always thought that they could easily be ranked number one on the Divine Lord List with their own strength.
He did not expect that he would fail to kill Unparalleled Sword King. Not only did he fail to kill him, but he also failed to unleash his full power. Not only did he fail to unleash his ultimate move, but he was also injured by the counterattack. Although he still had a trump card, he would not use it easily. Moreover, his opponent was number one on the Divine Lord List, so he definitely had a trump card.
He was not confident!
The seventeenth Demon Son was not confident.
This was the first person who had made him helpless. He was a very difficult opponent to deal with.
"If Eighteen encounters him, it will be very interesting," the seventeenth Demon Son thought to himself. The 17th Devil Son thought to himself. He still didn't know that Eighteen had already been killed by Chen Zong's sword.
…
After separating from his team members, Chen Zong moved alone with his sword.
Why did he do that?
Because Chen Zong had speculated that the eighteen Demon Sons that he had killed had left a demon mark on his arm. It could not be removed no matter how hard he tried. It was highly likely that it was a symbol that would be sensed by the people from the Infernal Order.
Sensing the symbol meant that they knew that he had killed someone from the Infernal Order. It was a message to the people from the Infernal Order to take revenge.
Chen Zong felt that his speculation would not be wrong.
However, he didn't know how wide the detection range of the mageweath symbol was. If it was very wide, then the Infernal Order could attack them at any time. It wouldn't be a good thing for the others.
After fighting two opponents from Infernal Order, Chen Zong knew how terrifying they were. Once his team members went up against them, they wouldn't be able to resist at all and would be easily killed.
Fortunately, the two Demon Children of the Infernal Order were targeting him and did not pay attention to the others. Otherwise, the other members would have been killed except for him.
But if this was the case twice, what about the third time?
What if more Infernal Order members came and he couldn't kill them all in a short period of time? Wouldn't his teammates be implicated?
At the end of the day, it was more dangerous for them to move together with him. On the other hand, it would be safer for them to leave. At least relatively speaking, it was impossible for them to be absolutely safe unless they left and returned to Taihao Mountain.
Similarly, without his team members moving together, Chen Zong seemed to have broken free from his shackles.
That's right, the thirty-two team members were a kind of restraint to Chen Zong to a certain extent. Why?
It was because their abilities were too far apart from Chen Zong's. Although they were all Limiteers of the Fourth Realm, Chen Zong was at the Fifth Realm. On the other hand, they were only at the Fourth Realm. The difference was very obvious.
His powerful abilities and confidence allowed Chen Zong to move around more nimbly and freely. With a sword in hand, he could kill any Fourth Realm Undead in an instant and absorb their souls. Unfortunately, these were Undead. Only their souls could be absorbed and there was no life force. Otherwise, the mysterious seed would be able to accumulate more power.
Now, the mysterious seed had already grown its third sprout under the constant accumulation of power. Its life force was so strong that Chen Zong was shocked.
However, Chen Zong didn't know when this mysterious seed would truly grow. He also didn't know how much more life force it needed to absorb.
This matter couldn't be rushed. Chen Zong could only restrain himself and slowly accumulate. Sooner or later, it would cause a qualitative change. The current plan was to increase his abilities first.
The more powerful a life form was, the more life force it contained. Therefore, if he was strong enough, the life force he could absorb from killing a Sixth Realm life form would be hundreds or thousands of times more than that of a Fourth Realm life form.
If he killed a Seventh Realm life form, the life force he could absorb would be tens of thousands of times more than that of a Fourth Realm life form.
In the end, it was still strength. As long as he was strong enough, anything was possible.
While searching for Undead to kill, Chen Zong used the One-Hearted Sutra to comprehend sword techniques and the five Great Paths. Other than that, it was the One-Hearted Sutra.
The One-Hearted Sutra was now cultivated to the fourth level. As for the fifth level, it was only in theory. At least, Chen Zong didn't inherit it. It seemed that his master, the One-Hearted Holy Man, had also cultivated to the fourth level and didn't have the fifth level.
"Maybe I should find a chance to go back. Firstly, I can visit my master. Secondly, I can discuss the follow-up of the One-Hearted Sutra with him," Chen Zong thought to himself.
Chen Zong couldn't give up on the One-Hearted Sutra. The help it provided was too great. Of course, the fourth level was the limit. That was the limit now. However, Chen Zong wasn't satisfied with that. He always wanted to continue deriving it and raise it to a higher level. However, it was too difficult.
His master, the One-Hearted Holy Man, had studied the One-Hearted Holy Man for many years. He must have studied the cultivation in the future. It was necessary for him to go back.
Therefore, Chen Zong decided that he would find time to go back after he broke through to the Fifth Realm.
Now that everything had been raised to the limit, although there was still some potential to be unearthed, it wasn't much. Perhaps after this trip, he would reach the true limit. That would be the time when he broke through to the Fifth Realm.
…
In the valley, a large number of undead gathered. Among them, there were many Sixth Realm and even Seventh Realm undead powerhouses.
The sword light was vast and mighty. It came from afar, and when it landed, it killed dozens or even hundreds of undead. They were all reduced to dust. However, in the next moment, a Seventh Realm undead exploded with a monstrous demonic aura. A shocking aura of death swept out, turning into a terrifying beast of death that swept through everything.
Then, a skeletal giant hundreds of meters tall stood up. It towered between heaven and earth. The aura of death fluctuated endlessly, stirring up a storm.
A great battle!
Emperors and Emperor-level powerhouses from various forces were advancing and fighting fiercely with the Sixth and Seventh Realms of the undead army.
Intense battles broke out all around the valley.
"The undead army came out from that valley. It should be the Infernal Order that opened a passage to the interlayer universe in that valley." Not far away, a Emperor-level powerhouse looked down from the sky and vaguely saw the situation in the valley.
"Then, we just need to destroy that passage," another Emperor-level powerhouse beside him said in a serious tone.
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to destroy," a third Emperor-level powerhouse said.
Although they hadn't entered the valley yet, they could feel that the valley was filled with an endless aura of death. The thick deathly silence was like a tide. It was enough to show that there were very powerful undead powerhouses overseeing the valley.
For example, they were all top Emperor-level powerhouses. They weren't on the same level as the Emperor-level powerhouses who were fighting. There were also undead powerhouses like them overseeing the valley.
There might even be an undead monarch.
So, how could they destroy it?
With their super strong senses, they could still faintly feel a malice emanating from the valley. It was a very obscure malice, but it made them feel cold all over.
It was impossible for Emperor-level powerhouses to make them feel this threatened. It was at least a Half-Saint, or even a Saint.
With their strength, they couldn't even deal with a Half-Saint, let alone a true Saint powerhouse.
"We can only ask a Saint to take action."
Just as the Emperor-level powerhouse's voice fell, in an instant, darkness spread out out of thin air, covering all directions and shrouding everything.
Regardless of whether it was the cultivators or the undead, all of them fell into the darkness as if they were being devoured.
An incomparably cold aura spread out in all directions, directly penetrating the bodies of all the cultivators. All the cultivators felt that their powers were suppressed, and their qi and blood seemed to have been frozen. Even their spiritual souls seemed to have been blinded. Their essence, qi, and spirit suffered a strong impact. Their consciousness seemed to have sunk, turning them into walking corpses.
However, only the cultivators were affected, and the undead were not affected in the slightest.
"What is this?"
"What a terrifying power!"
The Emperor-level powerhouses burst out with their strength to resist the invasion of this strange power, and were extremely shocked.
"This should be the Endless Demon Domain!" An ancient Emperor-level powerhouse said, "This is a special technique of the Infernal Order. In the Endless Demon Domain, all enemies will be suppressed, sink, and finally be at the mercy of others."
The Endless Demon Domain was spreading out at an astonishing speed. It would only take a short period of time to spread to the entire continent and completely cover it. When that time came, the cultivators on the continent would very likely be suppressed, sink, and finally be killed, causing incomparably heavy losses.
A backup plan!
In an instant, the Emperor-level powerhouses understood that this was the backup plan that the Infernal Order had prepared, a backup plan that was specially prepared to deal with the cultivators.
If they died here, not only Taihao Mountain, but all the other forces would also suffer heavy losses.
In the blink of an eye, an extremely sharp ray of light appeared above the darkness that was spreading at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, that ray of light pierced through the darkness and spread out at lightning speed. It was as if an unparalleled sword was tearing the darkness apart.
The sword was like a divine light, and the darkness was like a cloth that was directly torn apart. Ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters, ten thousand meters!
Then, the entire darkness was directly torn apart, and an incomparably stunning sword light also shot down, directly blasting into the valley that was filled with the undead army. The sword light was brilliant and vast, and the sword will was unparalleled, earth-shattering and earth-shattering.
That sword was full of destruction, destroying and destroying everything, but in it, there was also an indescribable vitality that was extremely exuberant.
