A drop of water could break the vault of heaven!
Qingyan Shangren used his 1-Vein Sovereign Emperor cultivation to drive the sect's thousand-year-old accumulations. He used the thirty-kilometer-tall peak under his feet as a sword, and hundreds of strands of sword Qi could cause the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon to pale in comparison. Xiao Chen would be defeated with just one strike.
Xiao Chen, who could drive Taiji with primal chaos Divine Energy, finally recovered.
Xiao Chen's counterattack was as insignificant as a speck of dust in front of the Sword Qi of Mountains and Rivers.
What he flicked out was a drop of water, a drop of rain, a drop of sweat that contained the inheritance of the Devil Blade.
The scorching sun had tortured it for 3,333 years, the gale had battered it for 3,333 years, and the lightning had struck it for 3,333 years …
Over the past nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, the thunderstorm, the gale, and the scorching sun could not change his heart.
What is a demon?
Lonely as I am, ten thousand years of time hanging high in the Nine Heavens, I exist alone.
What is a demon?
Just like me, I am so proud that even the heavens cannot tolerate my heart!
This was the second move of the Fiendish Saber inheritance, using the state of water droplets to break the sky.
This drop of water was so tiny that if one did not look carefully, they would not even notice it. But once one discovered it, they would never be able to forget it. It was so ordinary, yet so special. It was a demon!
"It's a drop of water!"
"He flicked a drop of water. What is he trying to do?"
"It's clearly just a drop of water, so why do I feel like I'm shivering and my legs aren't listening to me? Dammit, what's going on?"
"Damn it, what the hell happened?"
Initially, when he saw this drop of water, he didn't think much of it. But soon, he found himself unable to shift his gaze away from it, and his legs wouldn't listen to him.
How strange and bewitching!
Qingyan Shangren was somewhat dumbfounded. This raindrop that Xiao Chen flicked out completely surpassed his common sense.
Although Xiao Chen was not a Sovereign Emperor, his knowledge was limited. He had never heard of the Fiendish Saber's name or seen such a Martial Technique.
He knew that this raindrop was extraordinary, but he couldn't think of a way to deal with it.
Not just for a moment, but with his experience, even if he racked his brains, he still wouldn't be able to think of a way to deal with it.
If they had the advantage of the terrain, it would have been impossible for them to suppress Xiao Chen before by consuming the foundation that the sect's disciples had been accumulating for thousands of years.
"I don't believe that a mere drop of water can overturn the heavens!"
Qingyan Shangren shouted coldly. Then, he waved his hand at the three incense sticks in the incense burner and wiped them gently. The little accumulations that the sect had accumulated were immediately drained.
Using the sect's accumulations, Xiao Chen activated the sect protecting formation. Instantly, sword lights covered the main peak of Heavenly Cloud Mountain as the sect's formation activated. Then, the light surged, and the nearby mountains and rivers seemed to come to life as if a long sword had come to life. In an instant, thousands of mountains became one.
"Is it useful?"
Xiao Chen's face was expressionless and cold, without the slightest hint of emotion.
That drop of rain appeared in the eyes of the Azure Smoke Sect disciples. It got closer and closer, silently piercing through the tall mountains and breaking through layers of sword veils, heading for a lake in the middle of the sect.
He watched as the droplet of rain pierced through the mountain and tore through the sword veil, but nothing happened. Seeing this scene, Qingyan Shangren could not help but laugh. "You are just bluffing. You nearly …"
"Drip!"
Before Qingyan Shangren could finish speaking, that droplet of rain landed on the lake. With a loud boom, the entire blessed land — not just the Azure Smoke Sect's thousand-layered mountain gate — exploded with a loud bang.
"No!"
Qingyan Shangren showed a horrified expression as he screamed at the top of his lungs. The foundations of the Azure Smoke Sect, which had been around for thousands of years, vanished before his eyes, completely destroyed.
After that, the wind blew continuously. Layers of seawater exploded, and Spirit Springs spewed out everywhere. Seven-colored lights scattered like fireworks.
That was the top-grade spirit vein that sustained the Blessed Enclave. It had also been destroyed. Everything that he could see had been destroyed.
However, he could only watch helplessly as the saber intent that erupted from that droplet of rain brought a calamity of destruction.
One droplet of rain could destroy the sky!
If the droplet of rain in that painting truly appeared, it might be able to sweep through the entire Ink Sea and destroy everything.
Such a killing move already surpassed the norm of the mortal world. It could only be described as demonic.
Xiao Chen stood upright with his hands behind his back as he slowly approached. With every step he took, the dilapidated mountains and rivers recovered. It was like time flowed in reverse. By the time Xiao Chen arrived before Qingyan Shangren, the entire blessed land had recovered to its original state.
"You … how ruthless! Even if I was in the wrong, you could have just killed me alone. However, what crime did the tens of thousands of my Azure Smoke Sect disciples commit? To think that you slaughtered them all. You destroyed the foundation of my sect for thousands of years. "
Qingyan Shangren felt extreme grief, looking haggard. The killing intent that erupted from that droplet of rain landed on him.
That Inferior Grade Soul Tool incense burner had already shattered. Qingyan Shangren looked haggard, in an extremely sorry state.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "I did not kill them."
"Old Ancestor!"
Many figures descended from the sky with confused expressions, clearly at a loss as to what to do. In fact, they did not even know what was happening.
Xiao Chen purposely controlled that droplet of rain. Most of the saber intent landed on the Azure Smoke Sect's formations and Qingyan Shangren.
The moment the saber intent erupted, the others got knocked back. When they landed, they saw this scene.
These people did not even know that their sects were already destroyed and that the entire blessed land was gone, as everything had happened too quickly.
"You all …"
Qingyan Shangren looked over. These sect disciples all had white hair and faint wrinkles on their faces. They looked like they had aged many years.
Qingyan Shangren could not continue. Previously, he only cared about defeating Xiao Chen, squandering the sect's accumulations and overdrawing on the vitality of these sect disciples.
Otherwise, given his foundation in the Ink Sea, even if he condensed a Divine Vein, he would not be able to gain any advantage against Xiao Chen.
He would not be able to gain any advantage against Xiao Chen. He would reveal an opening with one strike, not to mention suppressing Xiao Chen.
"Old Ancestor, are you alright?"
The sect disciples did not understand the reason behind this. Instead, they started worrying about Qingyan Shangren's injuries.
Only Luo Yun and the other Sovereign Personages knew what was going on. However, they did not know what to say. They glanced at Xiao Chen, who was watching coldly from the side. Their hearts filled with fear and nervousness.
"Clang!"
Just as the sect disciples were worrying about Qingyan Shangren's injuries, they suddenly heard a melodious saber hum. A saber light flashed, looking like a short-lived, piercing and dazzling.
"What are you trying to do? If you dare to injure Old Ancestor, we will fight you to the death!"
After Qingyan Shangren became a Sovereign Emperor, he was like a god to the Azure Smoke Sect disciples.
This was especially so in the past two years, when he led the Azure Smoke Sect to dominate a region. All the sect disciples worshiped him, holding him in high esteem.
Seeing Xiao Chen draw his saber, the group of sect disciples all panicked, blocking Qingyan Shangren.
"Move aside!"
Qingyan Shangren knew Xiao Chen's strength. Before Xiao Chen, these people were like paper, not threatening at all.
"We are not leaving."
"I told you to move aside!"
Qingyan Shangren shouted angrily, shaking off all the disciples. Immediately, they were tossed out like sandbags.
Holding the Tyrant Saber, Xiao Chen approached step by step. When he arrived before Qingyan Shangren, he swung his saber.
Luo Yun and the other sect masters immediately felt their hearts in their throats, feeling immense pressure.
"Senior, if you have any requests, just state them. Our Azure Smoke Sect will definitely do as you say. Is it because of the Nine Cauldron Pavilion? We can hand over all the benefits we gained in the past two years. You just need to say the word, and we can spare Martial Uncle's life. "
In the end, Luo Yun could not bear to do this. He mustered up his courage and spoke in a trembling voice.
This major character, who dominated a region and swept through the Ink Sea, now trembled in fear, filled with helplessness.
Xiao Chen ignored Luo Yun. He only looked at Qingyan Shangren and said, "It is not easy to become a Sovereign Emperor in the Ink Sea. This is your opportunity. However, you should not be afraid. So what if you are from the Ink Sea? You managed to become a Sovereign Emperor in this insignificant Ink Sea. So what if you go to the Central Great Realm?
"The path of a cultivator should be fearless. Even if you suffer all sorts of hardships, it is fine as long as you keep moving forward. However, you remain stubborn, only wanting to dominate this Ink Sea, suppressing the other sects and squeezing out the resources of the entire Ink Sea. Heavenly Alliance's Xiao Chen, today, I will chop off one of your arms as punishment for bullying the Nine Cauldron Pavilion. Behave yourself in the future. "
As the saber light descended, Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. Qingyan Shangren cried out miserably as his right arm was chopped off. Remnant saber intent lingered in the wound. This saber intent would remain for a long time. Even a Sovereign Emperor would not be able to recover from it.
Xiao Chen did not kill Qingyan Shangren because he wanted to maintain the balance in the Ink Sea. He was also doing this out of consideration for the Azure Smoke Sect disciples.
If Qingyan Shangren died, the sects that he suppressed for the past two years would definitely kill all these disciples, not leaving a single one alive to vent their hatred.
The more important reason was to maintain the balance, to give the various factions of the Ink Sea time to catch a breather.
Even if a Sovereign Emperor lost an arm, he would still be much stronger than a regular false Emperor. However, he would still be incomparable to when he was at his peak. Furthermore, with the destruction of the Azure Smoke Sect, the Azure Smoke Sect could only rest and recuperate for a long time.
In the future, when the Azure Smoke Sect rose up, it would fear the Nine Cauldron Pavilion and not dare to bargain.
Only then would the Azure Smoke Sect be in line with the Heavenly Alliance's interests. Only then would the mission come to a perfect conclusion.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen's figure flashed. Then, he turned into a flash of purple light and vanished.
"Boom!" When Xiao Chen left, the aura around him scattered. The entire blessed land shattered like a painting, returning to its original state.
"This …"
"The sect is gone!"
This scene stupefied those disciples, all of them gaping and at a loss for what to do.
However, Sect Master Luo Yun and the group of Elder Wang knew about this long ago. The moment they were sent flying, the entire mountain gate, no, the entire Blessed Enclave was gone.
When the aura was gone, everything turned to dust. That feeling of helplessness made one sad, but one could not do anything about it.
If possible, one might as well live in the painting, living in the aura that Xiao Chen gathered.
At the very least, the sect still existed. Even if one knew that it was fake, it was better than being in rubble. This made one feel despair and heartache.
"For the past few years, I monopolized the Ink Sea. I was really living in a dream … After I woke up from this dream, I realized that this Ink Sea was never my Ink Sea."
Luo Yun smiled bitterly and sighed softly, appearing haggard.
