Chapter 661: Shredded Into a Bloody Pulp!
Chapter 661: Shredded Into a Bloody Pulp!
Yue Yin, ranked among the top five in status within the Immortal Sword Court, knew that as long as she wasn't afraid to die, taking these final vestiges of her predecessors would be effortless.
"Senior Sister, will they be useful?" Cao Shuo was flung from a bronze coffin, her face a picture of confusion, her heart pounding, and her chest heaving.
She had this question… and indeed, Yue Yin didn’t know either.
Logically, a being like the Nine Thunders Sovereign wouldn't likely be constrained by a mere Sword Heart.
"Stay back," Yun Xiao waved his hand, signaling to Cao Shuo and Yue Yin.
"Don't you need my help?"
Yue Yin thought it was her turn for a desperate struggle.
To safeguard Yun Xiao's homeland, she had to slay the Nine Thunders Sovereign in this deserted no-man’s-land.It was a mad venture she wouldn't have dared consider before!
"No need." Yun Xiao’s casual remark sent her heart racing.
Even the bronze coffin seemed to vanish! Where did his conviction come from?
And so, Yue Yin and Cao Shuo, dazed, joined Gu Suwan on the Azure Rain Sword Vessel.
Three mature, charming women, each with their own allure, exchanged looks—filled with worry, yet tinged with anticipation.
"So, did you two get with him too?" Cao Shuo suddenly asked softly.
"Cao Shuo, what are you saying? Watch your mouth!" Gu Suwan snapped, biting her lip.
After all, she was a decent woman; her husband had just died. How could she be impure?
Yue Yin, speechless, gave Cao Shuo a look and said, "Just shut up."
Seeing their reaction, clearly different from her own, Cao Shuo murmured, "That’s strange, if you two haven’t been conquered by him, why would you bet on him…"
Gu Suwan and Yue Yin were at a loss for words.
"Look," Yue Yin pointed at Yun Xiao. "If this battle really exceeds our imaginations, if he achieves that feat… what do you think?"
Cao Shuo raised an eyebrow and spoke softly, "Would you lower your proud stature to serve him closely, if you were willing?"
"Can you just stop talking?" Yue Yin said, slightly angered.
"You'd surely agree," Cao Shuo said with a covered smile and a hum, "You, who once paraded your virtues before me, are now subdued by this youngster. Don't worry, I'm not possessive; you should drop the act from now on."
"Enough..." Gu Suwan was still deeply worried.
Yun Xiao carried a significant burden on his shoulders!
So, Gu Suwan watched the void anxiously, her voice trembling, "Whether there's a future or not... it's still uncertain."
"Indeed."
Yue Yin and Cao Shuo finally ceased their bickering.
The three maidens, whose ages summed up to over a thousand years, whether it be the Thunder Department’s seductress, the frosty female Sword Immortal, or the virtuous young stepmother… All of them clasped their hands tightly, eyes quivering as they watched the 16-year-old boy, their hearts thumping wildly...
They were nervous!
And the Nine Thunders Sovereign, with stormy eyes fixed on the youth, was already radiating a murderous aura!
"You and Lu Fan, you both have the knack for bewitching women, huh? Why else would a Rank 2 Heavenly Officer steal the greatest treasure of the Immortal Sword Court for you?" the Nine Thunders Sovereign coldly spoke.
"Don't compare me to him," Yun Xiao coolly raised his head, "I am merely handsome."
And truly, Yun Xiao was handsome. With his upper garments torn off and only his lower half covered, he appeared completely bare-chested. His flawless and muscular physique, wrapped in violet dragon patterns, was fully revealed to all. As he wielded his three-foot azure sword, he really looked like a deity!
"You don't really think that mere Sword Hearts could stop me, do you?" the Nine Thunders Sovereign frowned deeply.
"Let's try." Yun Xiao spoke, then opened his Bag of Holding, his gaze defiant.
"Quite the showman," the Nine Thunders Sovereign scoffed.
His gaze shifted beyond Yun Xiao, toward a distant star.
With his might, even three other Sovereigns couldn't stop him from obliterating a mortal realm.
For these lesser realms, the Nine Thunders Sovereign was supreme god able to annihilate billions of beings with a mere gesture!
"I want to see how you'll stop me!"
As the Nine Thunders Sovereign spoke, his celestial power burst forth explosively.
In an instant, furious lightning serpents again obscured the heavens!
BOOM! The Nine Thunders Sovereign's body exploded suddenly, forming nine gigantic thunder orbs!
Within those flashing orbs, nine violet-haired young men coalesced!
The Nine Thunders Sovereign was true to his namesake! He possessed the Nine Thunders Martial Immortal bloodline, which stood at the pinnacle of the Thunder Department! His Seed of Creation was so potent that it allowed for a family legacy.
This Seed of Creation was the Nine Extreme Thunder Seed.
It was this very Nine Extreme Thunder Seed that enabled him to split into nine avatars, each with nearly invincible power at their level.
At this moment, the nine violet-haired youths stood like towering thunder gods, hovering above the Nine Thunders Divine Ark, forming nine poles. They controlled a vast network of electric nets and thunder serpents, pressing down upon Yun Xiao!
But there was more to come!
Once the nine poles were established, the hair and eye colors of eight of the Nine Thunders Sovereigns began to change, as did the colors of the electric serpents entwined around them.
Eventually, the Nine Thunders Sovereigns manifested in nine different colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, gold, and silver!
Red-haired, orange-haired, yellow-haired, golden-haired, silver-haired, and so on!
This was not merely a change in color, but also in the properties of their thunder, like the metallic attributes of the golden thunder, harsh and unyielding, and the fiery nature of the red thunder...
Nine types of thunder, nine types of divine might!
This was the ultimate form of the Nine Extreme Thunder Seed!
At this moment, the Nine Thunders Sovereign was truly explosive!
"Come!"
All nine of his bodies shouted in unison, and suddenly the Supreme Everlasting Thunder Cauldron split open, transforming into nine black spears that fell into their hands!
Crackling with energy, the scene was electrifying!
Black electric serpents coiled around the spears, intertwining with the vibrant spectrum of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, gold, and silver serpents, unleashing a more ferocious collision!
Before him, Yun Xiao seemed like a lone white dove amidst a storm!
The Nine Thunders Sovereign's advantage was visibly immense!
His might and terror were palpable to Yun Xiao.
"So strong, yet instead of facing your opponent, you target a mortal realm?"
This was the so-called defender of the heavenly order!
The stronger the Nine Thunders Sovereign grew, the angrier Yun Xiao felt.
"The Immortal Sword Court, a sacred land of celestial swordsmanship, claims to be a new force of the Celestial Court contending against the Thunder Department. Yet aren't both you and the Northstar Sword Devil just lackeys of the White Emperor?" Yun Xiao scoffed coldly.
All of them were just dogs! He then tore open the Bag of Holding.
WHOOSH! Almost 10,000 Sword Hearts spilled out before him!
On each Sword Heart, traces of Sword Prisons were visible, these prisons becoming miniature worlds, indelibly etched on the surface of the Sword Hearts!
Visible to the naked eye, each of these Sword Hearts was far stronger than any he'd encountered in the mortal realm!
Instead of defending the heavenly way, such powerful swords had been aimed at common folk!
Yun Xiao felt no sentiment towards these Sword Hearts as he flung them all out in the air. Like a primordial beast, the Heaven Burial Sword Soul opened its maw to unleash a dark azure storm, swallowing all of them in one gulp!
In that moment, the power of the Heaven Burial Sword Soul exploded!
The dark azure storm crystallized into a massive ghastly hell, within which the twisted visages of 10,000 swordmasters could be seen.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! With each explosion from the Heaven Burial Sword Soul, its divine sword might soared anew!
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! The space around the void violently shattered, countless fissures veiling the heavens and earth, even obscuring the thunderous network of the Nine Thunders Sovereign!
"The power..." Yun Xiao was nearly suffocated! It was explosively strong! He stood like a peerless Sword Devil, suddenly overshadowing the sun!
"How could this be..." Yue Yin, as a Sword Immortal, witnessed this scene and was utterly stunned.
"Hmm?" The nine avatars of the Nine Thunders Sovereign furrowed their brows.
The youth, swallowed by the dark azure hell, had surged to a terrifying level in an instant.
"Impossible!"
The nine bodies roared, no longer hesitating, transforming into nine colorful thunder pillars, crashing down towards Yun Xiao!
"Here it comes..."
From Yun Xiao's eyes, two dark azure dragons burst forth!
The fury of 10,000 swords converged upon his blade!
KLANG! With a low growl, he thrust his sword!
"Die!"
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! A 3,000-meter-long dark azure Sword Aura suddenly pierced through, tearing the void, annihilating the thunder, and erupting with unstoppable force, instantly swallowing the nine thunder pillars!
BOOM! The Supreme Ultimate Thunder Cauldron trembled before violently exploding into fragments, swept up by the whirlwind of sword energy.
And amid the whirlwind, the nine bodies of the Nine Thunders Sovereign were shredded together and melded into one. Bloodied and maimed, they fell from the void and crashed directly onto the Nine Thunders Divine Ark!
A mass of lightning and gore landed before Yun Xiao!
And the young man in white, his body swirling with devilish sword energy, stepped on the bloody pulp, his roar piercing the sky, "What Nine Heavens Responding Origin Thunder Voice Universalizing Sovereign? In the end, he became a pile of mush just like the lowly mortals he looked down on!"
