The darkness spread like a raging tide at an astonishing speed, swallowing everything. Chen Zong's expression changed greatly, and he retreated without hesitation.
Chen Zong's strong perception told him that once he fell into the darkness, it was not a good thing. It was very likely that he would lose his life because of it.
However, Chen Zong retreated very quickly, but the darkness spread even faster. Even if Chen Zong used all his strength to retreat, he could only buy himself some time. In the end, he was inevitably swallowed up by the darkness.
The moment the darkness attacked him, Chen Zong immediately felt that his active strength became sluggish, as if he was about to fall asleep and become lifeless. His vigorous Qi and blood were also sluggish, as if he was very tired and did not want to move. His extremely strong essence, qi, and spirit also seemed to be weakened. His consciousness fell, as if he was about to fall into a bottomless abyss. Countless illusions also attacked him.
Even though Chen Zong's Divine Will and Sword Will were strong, he could only barely resist for a while. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before he really fell into the endless illusions.
Break free!
Chen Zong kept exploding, urging his essence, qi, spirit, and Sword Will and Divine Will to resist and retreat with all his strength. Even if he was facing a desperate situation and had one foot in the abyss, he would never give up. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would seize it and fight with all his strength.
However, the Infinite Demon Zone was too strong. Even an Emperor-level expert would find it difficult to resist, let alone Chen Zong.
Just as Chen Zong was about to fall, a flash of sword light descended from the sky and directly tore the darkness apart, destroying everything with the mystery of destruction and rebirth.
The sword light was as mighty as the true flames of the sun. It was invincible, expelling demons and evils.
The sword light was unparalleled, unparalleled, and endless. It carried unparalleled power and slashed at the valley full of Undead Spirits.
Under the shocking power of the sword, the Undead Spirits in the valley roared, full of fear.
The sword light, Sword Will, and Sword Will were as mighty as the true sun across the sky, expelling all evils. It was even more effective against and harmful to the Undead Spirits.
Annihilation, pulverization!
The soul flames of the dead souls under the sword power were extinguished one after another. Their bodies also disintegrated, turning into countless withered bones that fell and piled up on the ground.
This sword light brought endless death to the undead, but it brought endless hope to the cultivators.
Swathes of undead fell like wheat being harvested.
Soon after, a terrifying roar resounded from the valley. Soon after, an incomparably huge arm charged out of the valley. The arm seemed to be formed from skinned flesh and tendons. However, upon closer inspection, one would discover that it was actually formed from countless skeletons in a nearly perfect structure. It was filled with a monstrous demonic might.
The huge skeletal arm rose to the sky, as if it wanted to pluck the stars and grab the moon. It stretched out its five fingers and suddenly grabbed at the sword light that was descending from the sky like the mighty power of the true sun.
Collision!
The moment the huge sword light and the huge arm came into contact, the two completely different powers instantly clashed violently like fire and water. Terrifying shockwaves wreaked havoc in all directions, sweeping across the sky as if they were going to turn everything into dust.
In an instant, the darkness was completely torn apart, destroyed, and completely turned into powder and disappeared. The incomparably strong light, carrying a terrifying vastness and the Divine Power of Death, swept across, making a series of ear-piercing roars that swept in all directions.
Tremble!
Everyone was trembling. This force was too terrible. In front of it, even a Half-step Saint could not resist. Even an Emperor Realm expert was as fragile as an ant. Once hit, he would be directly turned into ashes.
Chen Zong stared at the explosive power in the sky. His eyes widened, reflecting the endless light in his pupils. The shock in his heart was indescribable.
Regardless of whether it was the sword light just now or the collision and explosion now, the terrifying power and profoundness contained within them brought incomparable shock to Chen Zong.
This touch went straight to the depths of his soul.
The earth-shattering explosion shattered the space, revealing a pitch-black darkness that spread rapidly. It was like the open mouth of a cosmic beast, about to swallow everything directly.
In the next moment, a 100-meter-long sword light cut through everything. It rushed out of the continuous explosive power and directly cut into the valley.
Compared with the previous sword light, this sword light was undoubtedly many times smaller. It was only one percent, but the power contained in it was extremely terrible. It was not inferior at all, like a kind of condensation of essence.
Seeing the sword light cut out from the countless spatial cracks and directly cut down, the fierceness and sharpness of it immediately brought a great deal of emotion to Chen Zong. It was as if what the sword light cut was not only the chaotic power and spatial cracks, but also the shackles and bottlenecks in Chen Zong's heart.
In an instant, the Sword Essence rose and reached the extreme in an instant. Then, it broke through the limit, becoming more and more tyrannical, sharp, and destructive. Chen Zong seemed to feel that all the shackles on his swordsmanship and Sword Principle had been cut through.
Cut through, break through, and advance!
Although he did not make a move, Chen Zong knew that his basic strength had been further enhanced. Of course, his overall strength had also been improved to a certain extent.
Limit!
Chen Zong felt that the real limit was his real limit in the Fourth Realm.
It was time to break through to the Fifth Realm.
However, the current situation was not suitable for a breakthrough. He could only wait until he left here and returned to Taihao Mountain to make a breakthrough.
The 100-meter-long sword light cut down. It was unstoppable and directly cut into the valley. It directly cut into the 100-meter-long vortex in the valley, which was the passage to the interlayer universe.
Break!
It only resisted for a moment. The vortex was directly cut through, and the passage from the outer universe to the interlayer universe was also destroyed. The undead could no longer reach here from the interlayer universe.
The moment the vortex passage was cut through, there seemed to be a mournful and indignant roar, full of anger and hatred.
As the portal to the interlayer universe was cut through, the deathly aura and silence in the valley began to fade. With the passage of time, it would disappear.
Many black-robed figures took the opportunity to escape at the fastest speed. They were the members of the Infernal Order.
"Is that … the sword power of the Taihao Sword Saint …" A black-robed figure, who seemed to be standing in the depths of the void, stared at the dissipating sword light and muttered to himself. His tone was full of deep fear and an indescribable excitement.
They never thought that this operation would attract a monster like the Taihao Sword Saint. It seemed that the Taihao Sword Saint had not made a move for many years. He had not even shown his face.
Although the operation had failed and the Seamless Demon Cult had suffered some losses, it was still worth it to witness the shocking sword power of the Taihao Sword Saint with their own eyes. At the very least, they knew that if they really wanted to attack the Taihao Mountain, they had to have the ability to deal with the Taihao Sword Saint. Otherwise, everything would be destroyed under the shocking sword power of the Taihao Sword Saint.
…
The undead army was completely destroyed, and the portal to the interlayer universe was also destroyed. The Infernal Order's operation was considered a failure. Although it failed, it also caused a lot of casualties. There were countless deaths and injuries, including the various forces involved in this operation, all of them suffered different degrees of damage.
Taihao Mountain's losses were not small either. This was something that could not be helped. When faced with a strong enemy, trying to eliminate them would result in such a result.
Only with greater strength could one ensure one's safety. For example, the Taihao Sword Saint was able to destroy everything with a single stroke of his sword. Even Lord Ming Gu, who was in the middle layer of the universe, was unable to withstand the attack and was directly injured. Even the portal was destroyed. The loss was severe.
After all, it had mobilized a vanguard army of two hundred thousand. For Sovereign Ming Gu, two hundred thousand vanguard army was not a small number.
Now, the gains were not as great as the losses.
However, there was nothing that could be done. The Taihao Sword Saint was too strong. He was one of the strongest in the outer universe. With a sword in hand, he was a super strong existence that could suppress everything. He was not comparable to the average Saint-level powerhouse.
The undead army was destroyed, and the Infernal Order's plot was destroyed. The people of the various forces retreated. As for the continent, it had been reduced to a land of death. Ordinary cultivators would find it difficult to survive in such a place, let alone ordinary people.
This meant that for a long time to come, this continent was destined to be a land of death with no signs of life. It was uninhabited.
The Heavenly Sword was activated and quickly left this land of death, flying in the direction of Taihao Mountain.
Chen Zong looked at the members of his team with a heavy expression.
Death!
Six members of Team B's ninth team had died. This loss was not small, but Chen Zong was powerless to reverse the situation.
He took a deep breath and dispelled the feeling of powerlessness bit by bit. Finally, the Heavenly Sword crossed the void universe and returned to Taihao Mountain, landing on the Heavenly Sword Peak.
Everyone disembarked from the Heavenly Sword Peak. Chen Zong did not continue to stay on the Heavenly Sword Peak. Instead, he returned to Tianguang Peak.
After that, Team B's ninth team needed six more members to be able to carry out the mission again. However, Chen Zong did not care about these matters. Instead, he quickly left and returned to Tianguang Peak, preparing to stay behind closed doors and break through to the fifth realm.
Now, everything about him had been raised to the limit of the fourth realm. This was the true limit. Even if he stayed here for ten or twenty years, he would not be able to reach the limit of improvement. Even if he obtained a good opportunity, it would not bring him much benefit.
This was the time for a breakthrough. Breaking the shackles, breaking the limit, and ascending to a higher level would be a new beginning.
This was the path that all cultivators pursued, the path of continuous self-improvement.
This time, Chen Zong also obtained a lot of contribution points from killing the undead. In total, there were more than a hundred thousand contribution points. More than twenty thousand of them came from the undead of the fifth realm.
However, more than a hundred thousand contribution points were not a lot for the current Chen Zong. It was not enough to exchange for anything useful to him.
Then, it was time for him to stay behind closed doors.
