At the very next moment, a terrifying dark airflow swept out into the vast void. With the Sword Saint at the center, the heavens and the earth were filled with terrifying dark flowing light. Each flowing light contained a terrifying Sword Will.
"What kind of ritual implement is that?"
Everyone's eyes suddenly froze as they stared at the blade in the Sword Saint's hand.
The blade seemed to have sealing power, and at that moment, the sealing power was broken and released bit by bit. The power that flowed out from the blade rushed into the Sword Saint's limbs and bones, into his blood, and into his soul.
The Sword Saint's body felt like it was about to be torn apart. Every part of his body was suffering terrible pain. It was as if there were streaks of blade will coursing through his body, cutting him into pieces. The pain was enough to make one's will collapse and die.
His eyes seemed to have turned into terrifying dark vortexes. At that moment, the Sword Saint felt the power within the blade. It was no longer a blade forged purely from the power of rules.
This blade had a blade spirit.
The Sword Saint seemed to see many demonic shadows within the blade. These demonic souls turned into terrifying devouring vortexes. The dark aura that bloomed from the blade connected the heavens and the earth, causing the endless power in the sky to flow back and be devoured by the dark demonic blade. The Sword Saint even felt that he was about to be devoured by the power.
No matter how powerful a ritual implement was, it was still limited by the user. He was only at the Magi Plane. Even if he was given an extremely powerful ritual implement, it would still be difficult for him to bring its power to bear. His own power was limited.
However, the moment the seal on the blade was lifted, the Sword Saint felt that the blade was specially made for him by the man in gray, and the method he trained in was compatible with it.
"What kind of ritual implement is this?" Many people looked at the scene before them in shock. The Sword Saint's plane was not high, and many people thought that he was just there to die. However, when the seal on the blade was lifted, they felt their hearts palpitate. It was as if there was power within the blade that made them feel fear.
Kong Yao looked at the endless dark aura in the sky, which was like vines, devouring the power in the air in a frenzy. That blade was definitely a high-level saint implement. He did not expect to see such a sacred item in the Barren State. He had to get it.
Only saints were allowed to wield the saint ritual implements of Zhisheng Cliffs. However, if one obtained it, it would belong to them. Even if they were to hand it over to Zhisheng Cliffs, Zhisheng Cliffs would still reward them with a saint implement. It was impossible for them to take it for themselves.
"A cultivator of the Demonic Dao." Kong Yao's expression was cold as he said, "This is an evil creature of the demonic path. The Holy Zhi Palace is still not going to kill him?"
"Demonic techniques." Ye Futian looked at First Senior Brother. Since when did First Senior Brother cultivate demonic techniques?
Moreover, this saber was very strong. It was a demonic saber.
"Reverse." The Sword Saint spat out a cold voice. The Spiritual Qi and the power of rules between heaven and earth seemed to flow into his body, being devoured by both the blade and himself. Dark lines appeared all over his body, as if he was wearing a terrifying dark armor. He held the blade tightly in his hand, as if the two of them had become one.
"Demon."
The Sword Saint took a step forward, and terrifying demonic shadows appeared around him. Even more terrifying dark currents wreaked havoc in the air. He raised the demonic blade with both arms, his veins popping out.
Kong Yao's expression changed slightly as he said, "Be careful."
He felt a sense of danger.
"Kill."
The Sword Saint's blade slashed out as soon as he finished. In that instant, the dark currents between heaven and earth turned into curved blades, lashing out.
"Get out of my way!" Kong Yao roared. The mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs had surrounded Ye Futian and the others, and that one slash put all of them within range of the attack.
"Retreat." The ones from the major forces all dodged and retreated. The dark light of the blade pierced through the vast space, lashing out.
Pfftt … Some of the mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs who were closest to them were cleaved apart or cut in half at the waist. Their power of rules was unable to withstand that overbearing blade at all, and those who got too close died.
Blood bloomed in the air, and many sages perished right there and then.
Countless pairs of eyes stared at the scene before them, feeling great shock.
That blade was definitely one at the pinnacle of the Sage Plane. The Sword Saint used the power of the blade to merge his blade techniques with the power of rules, bringing it to the limits of what a sage could achieve.
Boom!
Loud rumbles were heard as the blade landed on the Holy Zhi Palace in the distance. Cracks appeared on the mountain peak, and the sky stairwell was cut in half. That was the sacred sky stairwell leading to the Holy Zhi Palace, a symbol, and now it was cut in half by the blade.
Kong Yao, Nie Yan, and Ge Feng all stared at the Sword Saint. He had actually killed so many of their mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs. With just one slash, he had killed more than a dozen sages.
How were they going to explain this to Zhisheng Cliffs when they got back?
Kong Yao trembled slightly at the thought, and his expression was extremely grim.
While they had not achieved their goals in the previous two battles, Zhisheng Cliffs had not suffered heavy losses. However, the mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs had been sent here were even worse. How could he accept that?
"All of you will die," Kong Yao said coldly. Kong Yao said coldly. A beam of holy light bloomed before him as soon as he finished. It was a bronze cauldron that was hundreds of meters tall. It was majestic and magnificent, and as it floated in the air, wisps of holy light burst from it. In the next moment, everyone in the vast space felt that they were being suppressed by the terrifying power of rules. They found it hard to breathe and they were unable to move. Ye Futian had a feeling that it was difficult for him to even lift a foot at that moment.
"What a terrifying divine implement." The hearts of many trembled. Alchemy City Lord You Chi stared at the bronze cauldron. Alchemy City was unable to produce a divine implement of such a level. It seemed that Zhisheng Cliffs were determined to get their hands on such a divine implement for Kong Yao to use. As such, Kong Yao was practically invincible in his plane.
"Open," Kong Yao said. Kong Yao spat. The gigantic bronze cauldron exploded and reassembled, turning into a protective armor-like ritual implement. It then flew towards Kong Yao's body.
In an instant, Kong Yao's arms, legs, and chest were covered in dazzling bronze armor. Behind him, a gigantic Divine Elephant Life Spirit appeared. On the four legs of the Divine Elephant, a suit of armor and bronze boots also appeared.
"It can still change." Many people's expressions froze. Kong Yao stepped down, and the giant shadow of the Divine Elephant did the same. The air trembled, and an unparalleled power radiated down. Many people between heaven and earth groaned. The light of Sage Douzhan's battle form protected Ye Futian within, not allowing him to be affected. But this step had caused cracks to appear on his battle form. It was clear how terrifying Kong Yao was with the help of the divine implement.
He was already ninth on the Sage Ranking, and in terms of strength, he was invincible in the Barren State. Now that he had a powerful divine implement, who below the Saint Plane could stop him?
"I'll deal with him." The Sword Saint looked up at Kong Yao and said calmly. Terrifying dark light was still raging on his body. His body seemed to have grown larger, turning into a demonic body. Endless blade will emanated from the demonic blade, causing it to enlarge and turn into a dark demonic blade that was hundreds of meters long.
Streaks of dark currents surged into the demonic blade. Then, the Sword Saint's body rose into the air, carrying the demonic blade upwards.
"Everyone who participated, die," Kong Yao said coldly. Kong Yao said coldly. His murderous intent soared into the sky. He stomped down with both of his legs. The Divine Elephant Stampede. In an instant, gigantic phantoms of Divine Elephants broke through the heavens and the earth, trampling down from the sky.
The Sword Saint waved his blade. His movements were very slow. Dark currents gathered in a frenzy, and the blade grew larger and larger, emanating boundless overbearing will as it slashed towards the sky.
A sharp sound was heard, and the Divine Elephant shadows were cut apart by the demonic blade. They were split in the middle, and the blade continued to slash towards the air, towards Kong Yao's body.
Kong Yao's expression was extremely cold. A Magi level figure was using a ritual implement to fight him?
His ritual implement was also a terrifying Saint-level ritual implement, and his plane was much higher than the Sword Saint's.
Phantoms of divine elephants appeared one after another, suppressing the heavens. Kong Yao shouted coldly. He, who was clad in armor and battle boots, stepped out, turning into the feet of a huge divine elephant. The divine elephants behind him stepped out at the same time, and with a deafening rumble, the battle boots stepped on the demonic blade. In that instant, terrifying dark blade light wreaked havoc in the surroundings, and the power that could suppress everything landed on the body of the Sword Saint.
"Slash!"
The Sword Saint shouted. Dazzling light shone from the blade, cleaving apart the rules that were suppressing him. The blade and the boots stuck together, and the two of them shot towards the sky.
The blade light flashed, and the two of them separated, each standing in a corner. Countless people outside the Holy Zhi Palace looked up, only to see that their silhouettes had become very small.
"Eldest Brother," Ye Futian was extremely worried. Ye Futian's heart was filled with endless worry. He knew that the Eldest Brother had purposely drawn Kong Yao away from the battlefield. After all, Kong Yao was too powerful. With his current plane, he would not be able to withstand Kong Yao's stomp.
Nie Yan and Ge Feng attacked again, fighting Zhuge Qingfeng and Yuan Hong. Nie Yan said coldly, "Is the Holy Zhi Palace still not going to act?"
Ye Futian looked up at Liu Chan, but he heard You Chi say, "The Holy Zhi Palace, as a sacred ground of the Barren State, should not get involved in the feud between Zhisheng Cliffs and Ye Futian. Even if you cannot uphold the will that you believe in, you should at least have a bottom line."
"Do it." At that moment, Yan Wuji, the Nantian House Lord, and the other mighty ones moved, preparing to join forces against Zhuge Qingfeng and Yuan Hong. They had to kill them here today.
"Di Kai, who gave you permission to do it?" You Chi looked at one person, and in a flash, he appeared before Di Kai of the Emperor Family in Alchemy City.
"This has nothing to do with you," Di Kai said coldly.
"I am the Alchemy City Lord. If you dare to act presumptuously, I will have no choice but to act," You Chi said coldly.
At the same time, Xu Shang stopped Yan Wuji and said plainly, "The forces of the Barren State should just watch from the sidelines."
"You also want to be enemies with Zhisheng Cliffs?" At that moment, the White Cloud City Lord stepped out and said coldly, putting them on the opposite side of Zhisheng Cliffs.
"No," Huang Xi said plainly. "But the Zhuge family and Taihang Mountain are both forces of the Barren State. As such, it is best for the other forces of the Barren State not to interfere."
After saying that, he stood on the opposite side of the White Cloud City Lord.
They had agreed to come today, but they would not start a war with Zhisheng Cliffs. If that happened, Zhisheng Cliffs would have an excuse to deal with them.
However, if Ye Futian and the others could stop Zhisheng Cliffs, they could still help. Even if Zhisheng Cliffs had saints, the Nine States were all part of Emperor Xia's Orthodoxy. Zhisheng Cliffs could not do whatever they wanted. If they did not touch Zhisheng Cliffs, Zhisheng Cliffs could not destroy them without a reason!
