The Lifeless Secret Sword was the supreme secret sword of the Valley of Lifeless Swords. It was the most tyrannical secret sword. Once it was used, it could unleash one's strength to the extreme, surpassing one's limit, and unleash a blow several times stronger than one's limit.
Such a sword could change the outcome of the battle, or even life and death.
For example, if there were two Great Sage Realm experts with a difference in strength, the weaker one could only resist the attacks of the stronger one. However, if he used the Lifeless Secret Sword, he could defeat or even kill his opponent. This was the terrifying part of the Lifeless Secret Sword.
However, there was a great price to pay for using the Lifeless Secret Sword. It was a price that made people despair, and that was lifespan.
There were two main reasons for cultivation. Firstly, it was to pursue great power. Secondly, it was to live a long life.
The Lifeless Secret Sword consumed one's lifespan as the price. Such a price was difficult to accept, because using the Lifeless Secret Sword once consumed one thousand years of lifespan.
For a Great Saint, one thousand years was not very long. After all, the lifespan of a Great Saint was not less than one hundred thousand years.
However, the consumption of one thousand years of lifespan of the Lifeless Secret Sword was not a slow consumption, but an instantaneous consumption. It was like a pool that was filled with water, and there was a pipe connected to the outside, allowing the water in the pool to slowly flow out until it ran dry.
It was like the natural consumption of lifespan.
However, the instantaneous consumption of the Lifeless Secret Sword was equivalent to forcibly opening a crack in the pool, causing the water in the pool to pour out thousands of times more than usual, like a flood that had burst a dam.
Perhaps the water that gushed out in that instant was only a small portion compared to the water in the pool, but the main point was the damage done to the pool. Even if the pool was repaired, it was still damaged and could not be repaired to its original state.
The analogy of a pool flowing water was very simple, but in fact, it was not accurate enough. It was still unable to truly point out the drawbacks of the Lifeless Secret Sword's consumption of lifespan. It was not only the destruction of the instantaneous consumption, but also a more far-reaching effect, which would affect one's future lifespan and potential.
After using the Lifeless Secret Sword, one's lifespan would be consumed faster than usual. One could originally live for one hundred thousand years, but in the end, one's lifespan would be exhausted after ninety thousand years.
The more times he used the Lifeless Secret Sword, the more damage it would cause to his body, and the faster his lifespan would be consumed. In the end, he would die even earlier.
This was also why the Great Sword Saints who had grasped the Lifeless Secret Sword would not easily use it. The aftereffects were too severe. Although it was not impossible to make up for it, it was simply too difficult.
Although the Lifeless Sword Master had improved the Lifeless Secret Sword and reduced the consumption of lifespan, it was still consumed and would affect one's potential.
That was why he had been unwilling to use it. But now, he had no choice. Only by using the power of the Secret Lifeless Sword would he have any hope of resisting the Space and Time Holy Lord.
Just as the Lifeless Sword Master was about to sacrifice himself and unleash the Lifeless Secret Sword, the space where the Ancient Sword Master had been exiled suddenly rippled. A terrifying sword might seemed to leak out from the void, like a ferocious tiger that was about to break free from its cage. It was extremely ferocious and powerful.
That Sword Might was none other than the Ancient Sword Might. It was the shocking Sword Might of the Ancient Sword Master. Even though he was banished by time and space, he still wanted to break through the boundaries of time and space and return to the present world.
The Space and Time Holy Lord was alarmed by this sight. The spacetime distortion around him trembled and rippled.
Such a divine technique was actually unable to truly banish the Ancient Sword Master. His strength was truly terrifying.
Left with no other choice, the Space and Time Holy Lord could only release his own strength to stabilize the spacetime around him so that the Ancient Sword Master could not truly break through the boundaries of time and space and return. Otherwise, once he returned, given his supreme strength, it would not be so easy for the Space and Time Holy Lord to banish him again.
Resist!
For a moment, the battle was in a stalemate. The Ancient Sword Master wanted to break through the boundaries of time and space and return, but the Space and Time Holy Lord were unwilling. As a result, the Ancient Sword Master would find it difficult to return while the Space and Time Holy Lord would be held back, unable to deal with the others.
This was undoubtedly a joyous occasion.
The Lifeless Sword Master would no longer need to use his lifespan to use the Lifeless Secret Sword. In this battle, they could resist the attacks of the God Demons, as long as no more powerful God Lords crossed over.
Hope!
At this moment, everyone saw hope. Their morale soared in excitement.
The God Demons were the exact opposite. Their originally high morale had now plummeted.
Chen Zong could not help but smile.
His Innerverse had reached completion, and his strength had increased greatly. Now that he was facing another God Lord, Chen Zong was confident that he would be able to resist them better.
With his current cultivation in the Innerverse, using the Ocean-Suppressing Orb's power would not only allow him to last fifteen minutes, but he would also not be able to last for half an hour. He would be able to last for half an hour, which was equivalent to forty minutes.
With his strength doubled in an hour, the power of his sword techniques would become even more terrifying. As long as he grasped the rhythm well, he would definitely be able to hold back a God Lord. He could even cooperate with the Sacred Ancestor to suppress or even injure a God Lord.
Moreover, the two God Lords were heavily injured. They had been injured by the Ancient Sword Master's ultimate move, so they were not as strong as they had been at their peak.
The God Lord level divinity was finally refined, and the Mixed Yuan Heartforce Nebula Vortex in the Innerverse had increased to thirty-five kilometers.
Thirty kilometers was the pinnacle of the Innerverse's Minor Success, and beyond that was the Innerverse's Great Success. Now that it was thirty-five kilometers, it was naturally the Innerverse's Great Success, and it was even stronger than when he had just broken through.
Chen Zong also felt that the gap between Great Success and Great Completion had increased. It did not seem like the Mixed Yuan Heartforce Nebula Vortex of forty kilometers was enough to reach the pinnacle of Great Completion.
However, he still had a strand of God Lord level divinity. If he refined and absorbed it, would he be able to reach the pinnacle of Great Completion or even Great Completion?
If his cultivation reached Great Completion, his strength would multiply again. When that time came, with the Ocean-Suppressing Orb, he should be able to resist a God Lord.
Just thinking about it made him excited.
Then, he would continue refining.
The strand of God Lord level divinity was absorbed by Chen Zong into his Innerverse, where it transformed into a dragon that roared endlessly. It was as if it wanted to shatter Chen Zong's Innerverse. However, Great Completion's Innerverse was much larger than Minor Completion's Innerverse. It was also much more stable and difficult to shake.
Originally, Minor Completion's Innerverse had been ravaged by the God Lord level divinity and had been in constant turmoil. Although it was still trembling now, it had completely withstood it.
This strand of God Lord level divinity was also being rapidly refined and absorbed by Mixed Yuan Heartforce Nebula Vortex, causing it to rotate and expand once again. It expanded to thirty-four kilometers, and his cultivation increased at an astonishing rate. His strength also continued to increase.
The Fiendgods, however, were unable to retreat.
This was because the God of Space was suppressing the Eternal Swordmaster and preventing him from returning. As such, the God of Space could not deal with the other cultivators.
The other two God Lords were also heavily injured, and their strength was not at their peak.
This was a good opportunity.
The Lifeless Swordmaster and the Divine Ancestor exchanged glances. Immediately, the Lifeless Swordmaster's sword pierced through the air towards the God of Space, while the Divine Ancestor charged directly towards the other two God Lords. He wanted to use his own strength to hold them back so that they could not reinforce the God of Space. This way, the God of Space would have to face the Lifeless Swordmaster's attacks.
In terms of strength, the Lifeless Swordmaster was no match for the God of Space, but at this moment, the God of Space had to suppress the Eternal Swordmaster. It would be difficult for him to deal with the Lifeless Swordmaster's attacks, let alone take the initiative to deal with the Lifeless Swordmaster.
As long as the Eternal Swordmaster could return, his strength would be enough to resist the God of Space. At that time, the Divine Ancestor and Xuanyuan Divine Ancestor would join forces to fight against the other two God Lords. They would definitely be able to hold back the top fighting forces of the Gods and Demons.
On the human side, there was still the Peerless Sword Saint.
A single sword attack had slain more than ten Gods and Demons, and had even successfully killed a weakened God Lord. Such a battle record was extremely shocking, and such a battle prowess was also very frightening. As long as one was not at the God Lord level, they would probably not be a match for the Peerless Sword Saint. He could single-handedly suppress a group of Righteous Gods and even Spiritual Gods.
In this way, they could win this battle.
As long as they could repel the Gods and Demons' invasion this time, it would be even more difficult for them to invade next time.
Divine Ancestor Xuanyuan Divine Ancestor was fighting against two God Lords alone. These two God Lords had been injured by the Eternal Swordmaster, and their injuries were not light. Even with their powerful God and Demon bodies and astonishing recovery speed, they would not be able to recover quickly. This was because the Sword Qi of the Eternal Swordmaster was just too powerful, surpassing their level.
Their injuries could not be healed, and they could not use their full strength. Clearly restricted, they were immediately held back by Divine Ancestor Xuanyuan Divine Ancestor.
Divine Ancestor Xuanyuan Divine Ancestor did not need to kill them. All he needed to do was hold them back so that the Lifeless Swordmaster could attack the God of Space without interference and rescue the Eternal Swordmaster.
In the face of the Lifeless Swordmaster's attacks, the spacetime around the God of Space was still distorted. While suppressing the Eternal Swordmaster and preventing him from returning, he also struck out with a Spacetime Handprint to block the Lifeless Swordmaster's attacks. For a moment, he actually managed to block them.
The God of Space was truly terrifying.
Little did they know that if the God of Space was in the God and Demon World, he would be even stronger, at least several times stronger than he was now.
It was already shocking enough for a top-notch God to have ten percent more power, let alone twenty to thirty percent.
The reason for this was because the Ancient Mystic World was different from the God and Demon World. The Ancient Mystic World would more or less affect the Gods and Demons, forming an invisible suppression. Unless one truly took root in the Ancient Mystic World, such as developing faith to a certain extent, one would be able to use their full strength in the Ancient Mystic World without being affected.
It was also because of this that the battle could be delayed until the Eternal Swordmaster arrived. Otherwise, if the Gods and Demons who had crossed over to the Ancient Mystic World unleashed their full strength, the humans would have been defeated long ago.
The battle erupted once again.
Chen Zong continued to refine the Lord God level divinity, causing his cultivation to rise continuously as he brandished his sword and attacked.
His Innerverse had reached the large success stage and was able to withstand the Lord God level divinity's rampage, allowing him to refine it better. Chen Zong could then join the battle. Although he could not use his full cultivation, he could use fifty percent of it. The strength that he could unleash with this fifty percent of his cultivation was even more tyrannical than when he had reached the small success stage in the Innerverse. It was enough to deal with True Gods and even Spirit Gods.
