Seeing the Azure Dragon Society recruit unparalleled powerhouses like Indra and the Great Demon God, and even seize the War God Temple's treasure, Zi Chu had long been unable to contain himself. Now that Lotus Blossom had created such a golden opportunity at a great cost, how could he possibly let it slip by?
The ancient He Shi Bi jade disc shone with dazzling brilliance, and Zi Chu's true energy surged, with thousands of golden dragons rising from the jade disc into the sky.
"Now that Your Majesty has taken action, Bai Qi will naturally serve you!"
The moment the God of Slaughter Sword was drawn, a torrent of blood energy condensed into a massive crimson blade. This butcher unleashed the strongest sword strike of his life without holding back.
"If a sage can strengthen a nation, he will not follow old laws; if he can benefit the people, he will not adhere to old rituals!"
Shang Yang's voice boomed like a bell, and the Legalist maxims of "entering the Way through literature" transformed into gilded seal script. Three earth-shattering forces intertwined into a net, overwhelming and pressing down on that solitary, proud figure.
Faced with this earth-shattering combined attack, Indra burst into loud laughter: "Perfect timing!"
Indra's expression was indifferent as he lightly touched the void with his fingertips.
In an instant, countless longswords in the valley moved without wind and flew to his back.
"'Ten Thousand Swords Return to Their Origin'?"
Although Cang Qu had never had any dealings with the Sword Sect, he had heard of this supreme martial art of the Sword Sect.
"Ten thousand swords return to the clan!"
Di Shitian roared and thrust his sword forward, unleashing a torrent of swords that instantly clashed with Zi Chu's three powerful warriors.
His "Return of Ten Thousand Swords" technique is not merely about unleashing ten thousand swords simultaneously, but about imbuing each sword with a wisp of sword intent.
With the enhancement of sword intent, each strike is resilient and sharp, and contains the fierce power of a peerless master.
Bai Qi was the weakest; the blood-red giant sword he condensed was formed from the killing intent accumulated over many years of battles.
Although the killing intent was strong, it was ultimately not the righteous path, and it dissipated instantly under the impact of ten thousand swords.
The golden Legalist characters recited by Shang Yang immediately collapsed.
Although he entered the Dao through literature, with every word containing the true meaning of Legalism, making it difficult for ordinary supreme mythical realm martial artists to withstand, each of Di Shitian's swords was like that of a proud swordsman, revealing his sharp edge.
Chapter 188 Characters
When a scholar's writings meet the heart of a swordsman, he is constrained at every turn. Coupled with the vast difference in their levels of understanding, Shang Yang ultimately cannot prevail.
The characters shattered, Shang Yang coughed up blood, his face pale, yet he still spoke to Cang Qu in a deep voice:
"Your Excellency 'Heavenly Demon', if you continue to stand idly by, after our defeat and demise, will Indra tolerate you?"
"As the chief protector of the Tang Dynasty, are you going to sit idly by and watch the Tang Dynasty decline and perish?"
Cang Qu gave a cold snort:
"Why should I need your guidance in my actions?"
"Jiangchen, you make the first move!"
"Good! Nine Netherworld Profound Heaven!"
A bald figure suddenly appeared, throwing a punch straight at Indra!
The force of the punch was accompanied by a thick black aura, eerie and sinister.
"Ha, I have known of your existence for a long time."
Despite the sudden appearance of the dust demon, Indra had already noticed it.
With a slight shift of his mind, a hundred sharp swords shot out from the sky, piercing straight at Jiang Chen!
In terms of strength, Jiang Chen indeed surpasses Shang Yang and Bai Qi.
The "Nine Netherworld Profound Heaven Divine Art" he cultivated was obtained by studying the secret records of the Great Tang Dynasty together with Ying Gou.
This skill is divided into two volumes: "Nine Netherworlds" and "Mysterious Heaven".
Ying Gou studied the first volume of "Nine Netherworld Chapters," but suffered a backlash and developed the personality of "Elder Sister."
Jiang Chen, without hesitation, completed the entire work.
Wherever his fist went, it clashed with a hundred swords!
At first, it seemed like they were at a disadvantage, but Indra suddenly realized—
The sword intent attached to the sword is mysteriously dissipating!
It was as if it had been completely swallowed up by that pitch-black fist force.
"Interesting! What kind of evil technique is this?"
Indra was not afraid but rather pleased.
He was obsessed with martial arts throughout his life, and the "Sacred Heart Manual" is a compilation of all the martial arts techniques in the world.
This extraordinary skill, capable of devouring sword intent, is truly rare.
"Nine Netherworld Mysterious Heavenly Divine Art!"
Jiang Chen spoke frankly and without reservation.
The fist strikes became increasingly concentrated, while the sword intent continuously dissipated.
A longsword that has lost its sword intent is nothing more than ordinary iron.
With a casual wave of his hand, Jiang Chen shattered the sword!
Indra's "Return of Ten Thousand Swords" was gradually suppressed.
Yet he remained composed, gazing at the sparse sword formation with a light laugh:
"Now that we've been driven to this point, let me show you—"
"My true power!"
In an instant, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and the temperature in the entire valley plummeted!
"Shocking disaster!"
The first of the four tribulations of the Sacred Heart!
A bone-chilling cold swept through the entire area; those with slightly weaker skills—
The disciples of the six major sects and the seriously injured Chamu tribesmen had no time to react.
It has been transformed into a forest of ice sculptures!
Then cracks gradually appeared on the ice sculpture, and it shattered into ice blocks all over the ground.
One by one, vibrant lives vanished silently.
Zichu and his two companions, along with Jiang Chen, were all in unbearable pain.
The golden dragon, still baring its fangs and claws, lunged at Indra.
But Zichu felt a bone-chilling cold welling up from the bottom of his heart, which he could not suppress.
Even the circulation of true essence slowed down a bit.
Jiang Chen, who had just been fully absorbing the sword intent, was now in an even worse situation than Zi Chu.
At least Zichu can continue to activate the dragon energy and the golden dragon to fight against Di Shitian.
Jiang Chen had already stopped, focusing all his energy on resisting the cold within his body.
A glint of light flashed in Cang Qu's eyes, and he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
Indra dared to claim himself as a god, and this move certainly possessed unfathomable power.
Without further hesitation, he immediately activated the Heavenly Demon Force Field.
An invisible force field enveloped the valley, instantly neutralizing Indra's "Shocking Calamity".
"Excellent tactic!"
Indra also praised him, saying that the Heavenly Demon Cangqu was indeed worthy of his reputation.
With a single move, he shattered the first of the Four Tribulations of the Sacred Heart!
"Cang Qu, face the second tribulation!"
"Evil Blood Calamity!"
With a flick of his finger, Indra sent a drop of blood suspended in mid-air.
The blood droplets pounded violently like a heart.
At first, the beating was slow, and no one noticed anything unusual.
But as Indra urged it on, the blood droplets throbbed faster and faster.
Everyone in the valley felt their hearts pounding and their blood boiling.
The four sect leaders suddenly screamed and exploded, turning into clouds of blood mist.
"Purple Blood!"
Seeing this, Cang Qu raised his hand and absorbed all the blood mist.
His face instantly turned purple, and his aura surged.
With a single punch, the Heavenly Demon Force Field trembled.
The purple blood fist force shattered the void, heading straight for the drop of evil blood in front of Emperor Shitian.
The two forces remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air.
"Take action, seize the opportunity..."
Zichu and his group immediately felt the pressure lessen and decisively launched an attack.
Golden dragon energy swept across the sky. Bai Qi gritted his teeth and swung his sword, while Shang Yang, despite blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, persisted in reciting the true words of the Legalists.
With a flash, Jiang Chen headed straight for Di Shitian.
Indra was secretly furious and was about to unleash the third of the four kalpas of the Sacred Heart.
But just as he was about to make a move, a sudden feeling of unease washed over him.
The injuries sustained by Ximen Yu back then have not yet healed.
"Not good..."
Faced with this sudden turn of events, even Indra, who always considered himself a god, couldn't help but panic.
"Wandao Senluo!"
"Four Jue of Hun Tian!"
Just then, Xiao Jingtian and Xiao Aoshi finally arrived.
Without hesitation, Xiao Aoshi activated "Myriad Paths of the World," unleashing a torrent of spiritual power that momentarily halted the onslaught of the crowd.
Xiao Jingtian disregarded the daytime restrictions and forcibly activated the "Four Absolute Chaos," instantly engulfing the entire valley in wind, rain, thunder, and fire.
The experts from the three dynasties were immediately caught in a fierce battle.
Only Cang Qu was able to easily evade the onslaught of wind, rain, thunder, and fire, before suddenly releasing the "demon seed" within his body.
The moment the "demon seed" left the body, a strange mental fluctuation swept in all directions.
If the "Myriad Paths of Heaven and Earth" that laughs at the world were complete and intact, it might be able to rival Cang Qu.
Unfortunately, his was ultimately incomplete.
Cang Qu used the power of the "Demon Seed" to clash with "Myriad Paths of the Forest," and his spiritual power invaded it through the opening.
In a short time, he found the fatal flaw.
Just as he was preparing to defeat them in one fell swoop—
In a duel between masters, there is no room for even the slightest delay.
Xiao Jingtian had pushed the "Four Absolute Techniques of Chaos" to the limit of daytime, and the four powers of heaven and earth merged and burst forth, mixed with a trace of the power of "Myriad Paths of the Underworld", which directly attacked Cang Qu's heart meridian.
This strike was the pinnacle of power under the bright daylight.
However, it was ultimately limited by the timing.
Cang Qu was momentarily distracted and was struck by the aftershock, his clothes torn to shreds.
"good very good!"
