Chapter 44 - 43 The Sword that Stunned the Immortal Domaini
Fire Spirit took a step forward, her expression so serene that it surpassed all the Almost Immortals and Supremes present, and she finally began to unfold the piece of paper in her hand.
As the paper slowly opened, it left her grasp and flew autonomously into the high sky above.
The paper slowly unfolded, and in an instant, everyone had the illusion that vast oceans surged and primordial chaos resurfaced!
A towering sword intent suddenly spread across thousands of miles in the Sky Domain, its invincible might causing the entire Sky Vault to tremble!
“One!”
The first character appeared!
“Boom???? ”
In a flash, above the Sky Vault, countless clouds burst apart, turning into a sky full of ruins!
The True Immortal-level beings sitting above the clouds showed a hint of horror in their eyes as their Immortal Clouds disintegrated beneath them!
They themselves were pressed by that terrifyingly unparalleled sword intent, plunging downwards at high speed!
When this character appeared, the sky could no longer accommodate any other existence; for thousands of miles the clouds fractured, and even True Immortals had to retreat!
Rapidly falling, they finally crashed onto the land of the Cangli Mountain Range, raising their eyes to the high sky, completely shocked and stupefied!
“Sword!”
The second character appeared!
“Boom boom boom???? ”
The sky exploded, and with this character at the center, the sword intent roared out, piercing through ninety thousand miles of space!
At this moment, the entire Sky Vault of the Southern Territory seemed as if it had been slashed by a peerless sword, clouds scattered over ten thousand miles, and billions of creatures trembled, looking up at the sky!
The sky was formless, but in everyone’s heart, they felt as though an ancient divine sword stretched across the Sky Vault of the entire Southern Territory!
In an instant, the whole Southern Territory was boiling and shocked.
Countless Sect Gates were astounded.
In the Southern Territory, a Holy Land ready to wage a sacred war suddenly halted, its Sect Master and all the Supremes trembling and staring dumbfounded as they sensed the sword intent coming from the sky!
And at this moment, above the Ascension Platform!
“Suppress!”
The third character appeared!
“Bang bang bang???? ”
The Sky Vault for ninety thousand miles, from top to bottom, was as if the sword intent became a galaxy falling from the ninth heaven, collapsing and rushing down irresistibly!
“Thump!”
“Thump thump!
All the Supremes and Almost Immortals watching the character appear below, could not help but kneel down at this moment!
Prostrate on the ground, their bodies trembling as if insignificant ants suddenly felt the might of an ancient giant dragon!
“How… how is this possible!”
The True Immortal stood among countless Supreme Burial Grounds, his normally upright figure now crumbled, as if bearing the weight of ten thousand pounds!
“I am a True Immortal, who can make me kneel…” He gritted his teeth, but the next moment, the sword intent roared towards him, and his kneecaps shattered with a “crack”, and he knelt in the burial grounds, the True Immortal’s Blood staining the “Three Lives Soil” below!
“No…”
He struggled to raise his eyes, filled with sheer despair.
Just what kind of existence was this, with such might!
Even True Immortals had to kneel before it!
In the face of such might, even True Immortals had no right to resist!
“Heaven!”
The fourth character appeared!
With the appearance of this character, the Sword Qi shocked the heavens, and the Ascension Platform shattered into dust, no longer existing!
The astonishing Sword Qi furiously struck the barrier, causing it to instantly disperse.
This sword cleaved through the barrier!
A corner of the Immortal Domain appeared before the eyes of the world like never before: a world shrouded in mist, filled with countless Immortal Palaces, lands that stretched billions of feet, with divine nations and halls spread throughout…
But under this sword, the Immortal Palaces trembled, the divine nations shook greatly, and the halls collapsed!
“No! What existence’s Edict is this?! No!”
Behind the barrier, the True Immortal Sect Master of that sect screamed in terror. They, too, knelt down, lying prostrate on the ground!
“South!”
The last character appeared, sword intent reaching unhindered toward the south of Immortal Domain. Wherever it passed, space turned dark, ceasing to exist, like a meteor leaving behind a burning trail…
Above the Sky Vault.
Only five characters proudly stood.
“One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens!”
Five big characters, each stroke exuding a world-shocking Sword Qi, reaching up to the Sky Vault and down to the nine nethers, breaking through barriers, suppressing Immortal Domain!
The vast Sword Qi swept away all the Yin and evil!
“Ah? ”
The Evil God lay prostrate on the ground, but under the overwhelming awe of the Great Dao, his body disintegrated!
He perished, soul and all!
Behind him, the eight Demon Generals exploded into pieces.
Even the True Immortals kneeling in the Supreme Burial Ground had the utmost despair in their eyes. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately, he said nothing and exploded into a mist of blood!
The blood of the True Immortals dyed the entire Supreme Burial Ground!
The entire Cangli Mountain Range, where the remaining dark souls had already perished, saw the dark aura dissipated completely…
Heaven and earth returned to a state of natural grandeur.
One Sword Suppressing the South Heavens.
The people prostrated themselves.
The Immortals trembled.
At this moment.
The vast and boundless Immortal Domain.
Xianyu Southern Border!
This place was a battlefield, a slaughter ground where Immortals and Devils fought to the death, where Immortals cried out and Devils roared, evil energy eroding the Immortal Spirit Qi…
—Ever since a Demon Monarch emerged from the forbidden area of Dead Spirit Sea a hundred years ago and returned to the Immortal Domain, his Demon Soldiers had spread throughout the entire Xianyu Southern Border.
Over the past hundred years, Golden Immortals had perished, while Profound Immortals and True Immortals were trampled like ants…
At this moment, atop an ancient Immortal City, the desperate defenders of the Immortal Domain watched the endless shadows of demons and were ready to give up the fight.
“Not a single Immortal Monarch is willing to support the Southern Border…”
The one in charge of defending the city was a Golden Immortal. His Immortal Sword already had many nicks, and behind him, there were only a few hundred people left.
Everyone was drenched in Demon Blood.
Despair filled their expressions.
“The citizens of Xianyu Southern Border are about to become blood food for the Devils, yet the high and mighty Immortal Monarchs and Kings turn a blind eye… all because a generation’s Sword Dao Immortal King of our Southern Territory had once defeated them all…”
A trickle of fresh blood spilled from the corner of the Golden Immortal’s mouth, and tears fell from his eyes.
He raised his Immortal Sword and let out a mournful cry:
“Limitless Immortal King… your subjects are now being slaughtered by Devils!”
“Why don’t you return!”
“Why don’t you return, ah!”
His tears were ice cold!
Behind him, three hundred Immortal Soldiers roared with rage!
Calling out for the Immortal King of the past…
The Immortal King who once fought across the Immortal Domain…
The Immortal King who once stood tall over the entire Immortal Domain atop the Southern Border…
But there was no response.
Between heaven and earth, only the triumphant howls of the Devils could be heard!
The Golden Immortal fell silent. He looked ahead and saw Demons devouring infants, skeletons riding on undead warhorses, using bone knives to slit open the bellies of pregnant women…
“Kill!”
He raised his broken sword!
Preparing for one final charge!
Among the ranks of Devils, a gigantic demonic hand was already overwhelming the skies, pressing down!
The Golden Immortal could feel it coming from a Taiyi Golden Immortal-level Demon General; he knew that he and the thirty million citizens behind the city walls of the Southern Border would all perish under this hand…
Still, he roared and charged forward!
But, it was at this exact moment!
A magnificent sword intent, seeming to sweep in from another dimension in time and space, suddenly covered the skies of the Southern Border!
That sword intent made the citizens of the Southern Border tremble, and the Immortals to be shocked!
At this moment, everyone in the Southern Border stared dumbly at the terrifying sword intent.
The sword intent swept in and cut into the ranks of the Devils!
The scene was so frightening that people momentarily went deaf. Before their eyes, they saw the vast and limitless ranks of the Devils crumble like paper, turning into dust. Wherever that sword intent went, nothing but a True Void was left; not a drop of Demon Blood from the devils’ bodies managed to remain; it evaporated instantly…
Even the Taiyi Golden Immortal-level Demon Generals were turned to dust under that sword intent…
The lands once seized by the Devils, under the advance of that one sword, became clear skies once again…
All of this, the people situated in the Southern Territory of the Xuan Tian Realm had no way of knowing.
Countless Supremes knelt on the ground; atop the Immortal Domain, the Immortals from Qinghua Sect were also lying prostrate, trembling.
They all felt as if time had stretched for a century.
Until after a long, long while.
It was as if an ancient Divine Sword, having searched the world and found no rivals, finally sheathed itself with resignation.
The paper rolled up on its own.
It fell.
In a flash, the sword intent in the heavens and earth dissipated.
Only now did the boundary wall slowly recover, reappearing once again.
Yet both worlds at this moment were silent, as if everything in existence had lost its voice.
The whole world seemed so quiet…
