Supreme Sword Exalt

Yun Ao shook his head. “Don’t celebrate too early. Even at my peak, I couldn’t withstand a single sword strike from that old blind man. Aren’t you afraid he’ll come settle the score with you?”

Yun Tu admitted openly, “I am, but we’re out of time! I have received divine revelation. That old blind man is about to die. Before he dies, he’ll definitely strike again without a care. Everything will be too late by then. Now that the Gold List has appeared, the Life-Extending Fruit ripening, and the outer domain has sent people, this is our best and only chance!”

Glancing into the distance, the vertical eye on his brow opened for a moment. Dozens of humanoid figures landed before him, led by ten or more Feather Transformation realm cultivators. Except for two of them who came from the Southern Border, the rest were all from the outer domain.

Yun Ao sighed with some emotion. “I never expected that even after so many years since our clan uncle died, his reputation remains this great.”

With his strength, he couldn’t handle so many people. Still, they weren’t the descendants of the Dragon Ancestor for nothing. By using Yun Qi’s name, they easily tricked these people into the God-Slaying Formation, effortlessly taking care of them.

Whether those guardians or the outer domain Heavenly Prides, they’ve all transformed into the purest divine servant.

Yun Tu’s gaze swept across the crowd. “Everyone, the divine one is about to revive. Your bodies, souls, will—sacrifice everything you have to the divine one! From now on, you will be one with the divine one! This is the greatest glory!”

Everyone ecstatically knelt on the ground, shouting fervently without stopping.

Yun Ao’s tone carried a hint of mockery. “What about you? Are you also willing to sacrifice everything for your divine one?”

Yun Tu’s face was serious. “Of course! Everything I have was given to me by the divine one. If the divine one needs it, I am willing to sacrifice everything! You can doubt anything except my loyalty to the divine one!”

Yun Ao raised an eyebrow. “Yun Tu, sooner or later, I will kill you. As long as you exist, you are the greatest stain on the Dragon Ancestor bloodline!”

Yun Tu was not surprised in the least. “Likewise. I also think you’re not qualified to cooperate with the divine one at all. Be careful. Once you lose your usefulness, I will take your life as well!”

The two exchanged a glance and laughed. Within their laughter was nothing but undisguised killing intent.

***

The earth trembled, the crashing sounds unceasing. A towering, six-armed vajra single-handedly fought a group with a vajra staff. As its light faintly turned gray, it drove back the outer domain Heavenly Prides step by step, leaving them powerless to fight back.

Within the vajra, Wu Xin grimaced slightly, his eyes nearly turning black. The ancient will that resided within him seemed to be gradually awakening. “Benefactors, since you refuse to become Buddhas, then I will turn you into demons!”

Though the Western Desert did not have Gu Han, it had Wu Xin.

The outer domain Heavenly Prides had fun throwing their weight around until Wu Xin found them. Believing that all beings were equal, Wu Xin sought to humble them. To the Heavenly Prides of the outer domains, the little bald donkey clearly had a screw loose and was in desperate need of a good beating.

What started as a one-on-one duel became two-on-one. Eventually, all the Heavenly Prides attacked together, but to no avail. The more Wu Xin fought, the crazier and stronger he got, nearly converting everyone.

Finally, one guardian couldn’t stand watching anymore. “This little bad donkey has some nerve!”

He moved to act, intending to completely erase Wu Xin.

Upon sensing the killing intent, the vajra’s head turned, its eyes full of cruelty. “Oh? Seems like I have to convert all of you as well!”

Just then, a grand Buddhist chant rang out, clearly reaching everyone’s ears. “Amitabha.”

The vajra manifestation cracked bit by bit before fully collapsing. At the same time, the old monk appeared before everyone.

The guardians’ hearts tightened, and they dared not make any unnecessary moves. Ascension realm!

A flicker of struggle passed through Wu Xin’s eyes. “M-Master...”

Although he had regained his senses, plenty of malevolent qi remained in his gaze. In just over ten days, he had changed from his earlier childlike appearance into a youth of thirteen or fourteen. Correspondingly, his fear of the old monk was far less than before.

The old monk called out to him, “Wu Xin!”

A Buddha projection flashed past and disappeared into Wu Xin.

Wu Xin trembled for a moment, his eyes clearing. “Master, I’m sorry. It said it was too stifled and wanted to come out for a look. I just—”

The old monk shook his head. “Enough. Come back with me.”

Wu Xin reluctantly glanced at those outer domain Heavenly Prides, but didn’t dare disobey. “Yes, Master.”

From beginning to end, the old monk paid no attention to these outer domain people.

After seeing Wu Xin leave, the outer domain Heavenly Prides breathed a sigh of relief. Too bizarre and terrifying!

Even though they came from the Ancient Cang Realm, they had never seen an existence like Wu Xin before. Just a moment ago, they had been on the verge of being fully converted!

Someone said with deep hatred, “Fucking hell! If I had known earlier, I would have stayed in the Eastern Wasteland!”

The others deeply agreed. Right! Surely there couldn’t be such bizarre and terrifying existences there?!

A guardian shook his head. “Enough. It’s about time. We should also head to the Central Dao Palace. We can't let a divine artifact like the Life-Extending Fruits fall into the hands of a bunch of natives!”

The reminder lifted the depression in everyone’s hearts somewhat. Exactly! The Gold List, the Life-Extending Fruit—none of these were things that a bunch of natives should have!

***

At Tianji Valley in the Central Continent, Tian Ji slowly opened his eyes and sighed. “Outer domain people, so this is your scheme! What exactly is the purpose of this?”

No one knew better than him how these outer domain Heavenly Prides had come. It was all Luo Wushuang’s doing!

“It’s real!”

“It’s real!”

“Asking every day, so annoying!”

Immediately after, Mei Yun’s roar came from outside. During this time, many people had come to verify the truth of the Gold List. Tian Ji was too lazy to appear personally, so he had handed this important task over to him.

Tian Ji shook his head and subconsciously began to calculate. “Mei Yun’s temper is getting more and more—oh?”

Over the years, he had barely recovered to the Saint realm’s cultivation, just enough to barely withstand the influence of Mei Yun’s ability and use his heavenly secret art. After some deduction, he seemed to glimpse a thread of heavenly secret.

His form flickered, and he landed outside. “Mei Yun, you can leave now.”

Mei Yun was stunned and laughed tragically. “What? Old man, are you kicking me out now? Just as I thought. I was born to be disliked by everyone. The world is so big, yet there’s no place for me? Forget it, I’ll go back to guard master’s grave—”

Tian Ji laughed in anger. “Nonsense! If I wanted to kick you out, I would have done it ten years ago. Why wait until today?”

“Then you—”

“Just now, I deduced that you have an opportunity coming to you in the near future. Go out and look for it. You will definitely gain something great!”

Mei Yun appeared completely confused. “I have an opportunity? Old man, don’t lie to me. I’m so unlucky—”

Tian Ji cursed inwardly, Have a little self-awareness, alright? You? Unlucky? With that crappy ability of yours, everyone else is the unlucky one. When have you ever been unlucky in the slightest?!

Thinking back to the days when he was struck by lightning every day, Tian Ji’s face darkened. “If I said there is, then there is! It’s up to you whether you want to believe it or not!”

Seeing how serious he was, Mei Yun lit up with joy. “I do! I do! I’ll go look for it right now, immediately! I’ve wanted to get out and see the world for a while now. All these years have been stifling me! Oh right, I need to go see that little fatty first. He hasn’t come in a long time. I kind of miss him! Hehe, I’ll definitely surprise him!”
