LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 751
Ye Junlin suddenly unleashed a wave of powerful strength, sending Auste flying back with a single punch, causing shockwaves through the gathered ranks of cultivators. The disbelief was written all over their faces.
As they processed the current situation, they finally realized it was all a scam!
This guy hadn’t really fallen from grace as rumored; it was all a façade. The entire universe of beings had been duped!
What a massive scheme!
“Liu Bai’s face darkened. “What heavy scheming! They’ve spread false information to lure us here for a trap!”
At that moment, it was the only explanation that made sense!
Otherwise, he really couldn’t figure out why they would go to such lengths.
Just for fun?
“What a joke…” Yelü Hua felt a chill run down his spine as unease gripped him harder.
He was starting to feel fear and regret!
If he had known, he wouldn’t have waded into this mess!
“Hmph!”
Suddenly, a cold snort sounded like thunder, shaking everyone’s hearts.
Xu Baitian’s eyes were icy, locked onto Ye Junlin as he coldly declared, “Do you dare to play us?”
He had thought his opponents would be the top three from the Supreme Ranking, only to be confronted by an unexpected rival.
If he had known, he definitely wouldn’t have acted carelessly, but would have chosen to hold back to seize the opportunity later!
Now, due to his misjudgment, he found himself in the thick of the competition, which was extremely disadvantageous!
As a result, Xu Baitian harbored intense hatred for Ye Junlin; his killing intent was at an all-time high!
Given the current situation, he could only go all out to eliminate this threat first, then regroup to deal with the three powerful adversaries on their way!
Ye Junlin smirked, “And then? What will you do?”
“I can kill you!”
The cold words were spat from his thin lips.
In the next moment, Xu Baitian unleashed a terrifying aura, the divine eye on his forehead gathering boundless energy.
In the process, night and day were wildly alternating, affecting the entire Kunlun Realm’s celestial phenomena.
Xu Baitian was furious; when dealing with Empress Fuyao before, he hadn’t exerted himself at all, merely playing it safe, wanting to preserve his strength for what was to come.
Of course, Empress Fuyao at that moment didn’t warrant his full attention.
But Ye Junlin was different, as he had already displayed a considerable threat!
He had to crush him with everything he had!
“Friend Ye, be careful…” Empress Fuyao’s expression was grave. She realized that Xu Baitian had indeed gone easy in their previous battle; his real power was enough to wipe her out in one fell swoop.
At that moment, all hopes rested on Ye Junlin.
“Don’t worry, retreat and rest behind me; leave the next part to me.” Ye Junlin waved his hand.
Then, Empress Fuyao pulled back to the Celestial Court for recovery, and the hearts of everyone in the Celestial Court were in their throats.
“I’ll kill you first, then them!” Xu Baitian sneered.
“Well, let’s see if you have what it takes.”
Ye Junlin taunted.
Boom boom boom~!!!
As soon as the words left his mouth, a magnificent pillar of energy erupted, threatening to extinguish all life beneath its devastating impact.
Yelü Hua and the others were shocked, finally getting a clear sense of Xu Baitian’s true strength.
“Heh,”
Ye Junlin was unfazed, summoning a golden Holy Sword, pouring all his power into it until the sword burst forth with dazzling, brilliant light.
With that, he raised it high above his head and suddenly brought it crashing down!
Swish~
The unquenchable golden sword light collided with the dark golden energy beam, producing unmatched waves of energy.
Xu Baitian furrowed his brow, a cold sweat forming on his forehead as he sensed an unprecedented resistance!
It was crucial to note that he had almost poured all his power into this attack; aimed at Auste, famed for his unbreakable defense, it could crush him like paper.
Yet, at this moment, he was met with an equally powerful force blocking his path, causing his previously high confidence to wane.
“This person cannot be kept alive!!!”
Liu Bai realized the severity of the situation, using his unique body technique to rush to Ye Junlin’s side, delivering a vicious stab with his sword.
The strike was quick and precise, extremely deadly!
“Trying to sneak attack?”
Ye Junlin raised an eyebrow.
He freed one hand, merging his fingers into a sword-like shape to counter with an eternal, undying sword might.
“What is this…” Liu Bai was directly shocked. This aura was something he had only witnessed from his own Master, the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords.
Could it be that the opposing side had comprehended something greater than the Invincible Sword Heart—the Eternal Sword Heart?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
This person was merely at the Saint King level and still so young—how could he have achieved such heights in the Sword Path?
He could rival his Master, the Lord of Ten Thousand Swords?!
In an instant, Liu Bai’s resolve wavered, and the normally proud cultivator was unable to accept this reality.
This very moment caused him to expose a fatal flaw.
Pfft~
Liu Bai’s left arm was severed, blood spraying everywhere, his face contorting in agony. “Ah…”
The pain of losing his arm was nothing compared to the anguish plaguing his heart.
At the same time, empowered by the Eternal Sword Heart, Ye Junlin quickly suppressed the divine eye force.
“Not good!”
Xu Baitian was horrified, hurriedly shifting into defense mode as a dark golden barrier sprang up before him.
Boom!!!
In a massive explosion of light, Xu Baitian was sent flying, bloodied and coughing, his expression one of utter astonishment.
What’s going on?
This power was way beyond reasonable!
To outside observers, it might seem unbelievable, but when you think about it, it’s not unusual.
In terms of cultivation, Ye Junlin was on par with Xu Baitian; both possessed Royal-grade Holy Intent. The only crucial difference—the most critical gap—was that Ye Junlin had the legendary Eternal Sword Heart!
This was the realm countless sword cultivators dreamt of achieving; from the Divine Court’s perspective, as far as they knew, only the old Lord of Ten Thousand Swords from Ten Thousand Sword Realm had attained it.
One can only imagine how difficult it was to achieve!
Right now, with the Eternal Sword Heart activated, Ye Junlin was overwhelming Xu Baitian with absolute power!
The assembled outsiders were left dumbfounded.
Is he serious? He’s this strong?
No wonder he dared to use himself as bait, pulling in the prodigies from the Supreme Ranking!
“Is that all?” Ye Junlin stood with his sword, a playful smile tugging at his lips.
Xu Baitian steadied himself, his expression incredibly awkward; this wasn’t at all what he had expected!
Glancing at the other somewhat intimidated cultivators, he barked, “No one is allowed to retreat! Whoever dares to back down, I’ll kill them first!”
Upon hearing this,
Yelü Hua and the others turned pale, their hearts lamenting.
Damn, if you can’t even handle him, are you trying to get us killed?
“Trying to escape is too late; all of you will die!”
Ye Junlin moved like the wind, his sword slicing out with a ferocious Sword Qi that surged and swept all before it.
The target? Yelü Hua and the others.
“Quick, block him!”
Xu Baitian screamed.
Unfortunately, cultivators ranked lower, like Yelü Hua and the rest, were completely outmatched. Facing Ye Junlin, who had both cultivation benefits and the advantage of the Eternal Sword Heart, they were swept away like flimsy paper dolls.
“Ah…”
Screams rang out one after another.
Yelü Hua and the others were cut down, blood spilling into the air.
The scene left only Xu Baitian, Auste, and Liu Bai standing while the other four had all been killed without any resistance.
After all, these few could only be regarded as the peak of the second tier, fragile compared to Xu Baitian, a standout from the first tier; how could they hope to escape unscathed when even Xu Baitian was injured by Ye Junlin’s sword?
