Chapter 2495: Sword Thirteen

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The arrival of the former Scion and Scioness had boosted the morale of the Fane of Destiny’s Supreme Saints. They propped up the Gates of Destiny and unleashed one shocking saint technique after another.

 

The Gates of Destiny were like countless suns hanging in the sky, suppressing the combat strength of the powerhouses of the ten major dark forces.

 

The Precepts of Destiny had almost completely pushed apart the precepts of heaven and earth, turning the ten thousand miles of land into a dominion that was absolutely under the control of Destiny.

 

Mountains were born, but they were soon shattered.

 

Lakes turned into inland seas, but they were quickly boiled and dried up by flames.

 

…

 

Destiny was both molding the world and destroying it.

 

Xue Lingxian and Xing Luo confronted each other. One stood on the ground, while the other stood in the ocean of stars. Their auras locked onto each other, and their Precept Domains enveloped each other. Their gazes were like knives and swords, sharp as needles against wheat.

 

One was a Scion that appeared once in a thousand years in the Fane of Destiny. He was born to be a genius and led an era. The other had experienced many ups and downs, washed away all his glory, and strengthened his will. In the end, he rose to the top of the world.

 

This battle would definitely go down in history.

 

It could be a battle that the Fane of Destiny would always win and never lose, or it could be a battle that the Undying Blood Silkworm made a living being rise to fame.

 

In the colorful clouds.

 

Granny Begonia and Yu Qianchen stood facing each other. No one knew if it was a battle of spiritual power.

 

The wind and rain came, and the killing intent drowned the world.

 

A scream sounded out.

 

The blood of the Supreme Saint dyed the sky red, and it rained down like rain.

 

The leader of the Sect of River God, Pang Hu, was a magnate that had been in the dark forces for more than 10,000 years. He was struck by a shuttle-shaped weapon from the leader of the Five Wraithions, Zionwraith, and his head was pierced through. He was severely injured and fell to the ground.

 

Zionwraith was the World Spirit of a Macroworld. It was said that the Macroworld was inside his body.

 

It could be said that Zionwraith was the strongest powerhouse below divinity of the Death Palace. He was the master of slaughter in the entire Fane of Destiny. When Death Palace’s High Priest faced him, he would always lose more than he won.

 

The leaders of the ten major dark forces might not necessarily be afraid of Zhuo Yunong and Lord Wu Yue. Still, they were terrified of the five Wraithions, who were not scared of death.

 

After all, not everyone was like Wuma Jiuxing, who had the power to kill with a single slash. Only one person was like him in the dark forces in the past 100,000 years.

 

They were not afraid of Zhuo Yunong and Lord Wu Yue because they had consciousness, spirit, and a desire for life. They were fearful that they would self-destruct and die together.

 

The five Wraithions were not afraid of them dying together.

 

If they died together, then so be it.

 

Not long after Pang Hu was severely injured, a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint of the Pneuma Hall, second only to Wuma Jiuxing, was imprisoned in the eternal night by the Nightwraith, one of the Five Wraithions.

 

By the time this Paramount Realm Supreme Saint broke through Nightwraith and escaped, he had already turned into a skeleton and a layer of skin. The Supreme Saint’s blood in his body was almost completely drained.

 

BOOM!

 

A five-fingered world more than 300 miles long was formed by Zionwraith. Before the Paramount Realm Supreme Saint self-detonated his Sainthood Source, he was utterly killed, and his body and soul were destroyed.

 

The defeat of the Enchanton was the greatest humiliation of the five Wraithions.

 

Today, they were going to kill all the Paramount Realm Supreme Saints from the ten major dark forces and re-establish the power of the Fane of Death to intimidate the entire universe.

 

Once they succeeded, everyone would be terrified of the Wraithions within 30,000 years.

 

After a while, under the control of a Lord of Destiny, the leader of one of the ten major dark forces, Prison Sea, was killed by Sengenwraith and Nightwraith. They used a pot of Divine Chaotic Flame. Even if the leader of the Prison Sea used a Quasi-Supreme Artifact, he could not save his life.

 

The temperature of the Divine Chaotic Flame was over a million degrees. Even powerhouses like Wuma Jiuxing did not dare to touch it. Once they touched it, they would be in danger of dying.

 

Sengenwraith had spent a hundred years, but he could only refine one pot.

 

The fall of the first magnate dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the cultivators from the dark forces.

 

All the cultivators who were still alive felt a shadow in their hearts. They thought that they might really die here today. The Fane of Destiny was able to overpower the Infernal Court and make the ten great clans submit to it. The depth of its foundation was indeed unimaginable.

 

If not for the fact that they had no choice but to fight, they would have already started to retreat.

 

The cultivators on Genbu’s divine corpse were all terrified.

 

Usually, it was tough to even meet a Paramount Realm Supreme Saint. But today, they witnessed the death of one Paramount Realm Supreme Saint after another. Who would not be shocked?

 

Shang Yue wanted to make a living and retreat. She said, “Even the leader of the Prison Sea has fallen. The power of the Fane of Destiny is far beyond our expectations. Should we put a halt on the original plan?”

 

Duan Lingfeng shook his head and said, “The leader of the Prison Sea died because his cultivation was severely weakened by more than 20 Gates of Destiny. In the Fane of Destiny, the only ones who truly have the power to kill are the five Wraithions.”

 

“Look carefully. Be it the three Lords of Destiny or the other powerhouses of the Fane of Destiny, they are all focused on attacking. They do not dare to force the Paramount Realm Supreme Saint of the hidden forces into a state of death. The ones who truly attacked were the five Wraithions. Their combat powers have reached the Demigod level. They are superior to other Paramount Realm Supreme Saints. Furthermore, they are not afraid of death.”

 

“Uncle-master, are you saying that if something happens to the five Wraithions, the Fane of Destiny will no longer be frightening?” Shang Yue asked.

 

Duan Lingfeng said, “That’s right.”

 

“If that’s the case, why aren’t we making a move? If we don’t make a move now, once the ten major dark forces are defeated, we won’t be able to make a move!” Shang Yue said.

 

Duan Lingfeng’s gaze landed on Xue Lingxian and said, “Let’s wait a little longer. The time hasn’t come yet.”

 

…

 

Xue Lingxian was the first to break the standoff and take the initiative to make a move.

 

Before he moved, the precepts in his body had already turned into a torrent and rushed out first. They collided with the ocean of stars in the sky, causing them to sink and float and annihilate the planets.

 

Not only was Xing Luo not afraid, he even smiled.

 

He knew that Xue Lingxian had no choice but to make a move.

 

If he did not make a move now, the ten major dark forces would be defeated.

 

And once he made a move, his perfect aura would become imperfect, and he would be at a disadvantage.

 

The stone sword of the Wordless Sword Manual sliced through heaven and earth, causing the space to tremble, and tens of millions of sword qi spurted out.

 

Xing Luo raised the Ominous Blade above his head. The fearsome light and Supreme Power emitted from the blade instantly caused the precepts of heaven and earth within a radius of 100,000 kilometers to become chaotic. All the cultivators within 100,000 kilometers felt like they were in a gravitational divine sea and were struggling.

 

All the living beings within a radius of millions of kilometers could feel the fluctuations of Supreme Power, and their minds were intimidated.

 

On a planet as massive as Hoth, the skies of many cities were filled with a ferocious glow. It was like a dark red aurora.

 

A hurricane rose and swept across the icy plains, Snow Mountains, forests, and grasslands. Snowflakes flew like blades.

 

Boom

 

The Ominous Blade clashed with the stone sword. After a loud sound, the world became unprecedentedly quiet. It was as if everyone had become deaf.

 

Boom

 

Boom

 

…

 

They clashed over a hundred times in a row. Even the Paramount Realm Supreme Saint was pushed back by the ferocious energy waves. He floated far away like a fallen leaf.

 

The ocean of stars in the sky was destroyed. The robes on Xing Luo’s body were torn. The hand that held the Ominous Blade was dripping with blood. There was no trace of a smile on his face.

 

On the other hand, Xue Lingxian seemed to be getting stronger as they fought.

 

“So the former Scion of the Fane of Destiny is just so-so.”

 

Xue Lingxian said coldly and left him, flying toward the Deathwraith ship that was eight hundred miles long.

 

Xing Luo saw through Xue Lingxian’s intention and snorted. “You are powerful, but you can’t kill people in front of me.”

 

Whoosh

 

Xing Luo used the Great Dimensional Shift and appeared above the Deathwraith ship before Xue Lingxian.

 

Below, in the Deathwraith ship, Nightwraith and Sengenwraith were working together to kill the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor. They had already imprisoned him in the eternal night. Once the Nine-Eye Ghost Emperor was dead, it would speed up the defeat of the ten major dark forces.

 

“The realm of the ominous can intimidate the world. The blade of ominous, strike and befall a god.”

 

The sea of stars appeared again under Xing Luo’s feet, turning into a sky full of stars.

 

He had used the Ominous Blade to develop a higher knowledge passed down in the Ominous Palace, God-slayer.

 

Xing Luo had been born in the Ominous Palace before becoming a Scion. Even after becoming a Scion, he had been very close to the Ominous Palace. Under the guidance of Ominous Reverend, he had learned this unique skill.

 

Even if he didn’t use the Ominous Blade, he could still threaten a Demigod’s life with this attack with his bare hands.

 

When the Ominous Blade, a Supreme Artifact most compatible with God Slayer, was pushed to the limit, the power unleashed by this move was unparalleled.

 

Xue Lingxian’s silver hair fluttered in the wind. He also performed the higher knowledge, Destructive Thunder, which combined with the stone sword of the Wordless Sword Manual to transform the little golden figure on the stone sword into a tiny figure of lightning.

 

The clash between the higher knowledge represented the clash between the two supreme techniques.

 

Boom

 

The sea of stars beneath Xing Luo once again shattered. Like a shooting star, he flew for thousands of kilometers and spat a mouthful of blood. A bolt of lightning pierced through his Precept Domain and his chest.

 

Xue Lingxian was also sent flying, coughing out a mouthful of crystal-clear blood.

 

However, he had been injured before, no matter how serious his injuries were. For him, this little injury could not stop him from continuing to fight.

 

Without pause, Xue Lingxian boarded the Deathwraith ship and broke through the eternal night with a sword.

 

Nine-eyed Ghost King escaped from the trap. His astral physique was no longer solid and had become much fainter. He gave Xue Lingxian a grateful look and rushed into the depths of the Deathwraith ship. He was prepared to control the array hub of the Deathwraith ship and activate the strongest power.

 

“Damn it, I was so close to killing him.”

 

Nightwraith felt regretful and glared at Xue Lingxian. Seeing that he was already injured, he did not run away. Instead, he pressed his palm on the ground. Dense precepts surged out, wanting to transform into the eternal night again.

 

Whish

 

From the scales of Xue Lingxian’s snake tail, extreme lightning surged out and rushed toward the darkness coming from all directions.

 

The darkness was scattered, and the extreme lightning struck Nightwraith’s body like thousands of sharp tentacles.

 

Xing Luo crossed space and landed on the Deathwraith ship. He widened his eyes and shouted, “How dare you!”

 

This shout contained extreme spiritual power.

 

Xue Lingxian was not affected. He formed a chain of mountain seals and struck Nightwraith’s chest. Under the cover of the lightning, Nightwraith instantly turned into ashes and dispersed in the wind.

 

Nightwraith died.

 

Xing Luo was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Just now, he had said that Xue Lingxian could not kill anyone in front of him, but in the blink of an eye, he was slapped in the face in front of everyone.

 

At this moment, Xue Lingxian walked toward Sengenwraith again.

 

Sengenwraith knew how terrifying the lightning was, so he did not dare to touch it. He used a rapid escape and quickly took out a copper pot. There was only one pot of Divine Chaotic Flame left. If he used it well, he might be able to kill Xue Lingxian.

 

He was expecting Xue Lingxian to catch up.

 

Unfortunately, Xue Lingxian had already seen through his intentions.

 

Xue Lingxian was still standing in place when he was tens of miles away. However, the stone sword of the Wordless Sword Manual slashed down and cut him down from mid-air. It was unknown whether he was still alive or not.

 

After two consecutive losses, the situation was once again equalized. The ten major dark forces’ cultivators let out a sigh of relief.

 

This Xue Lingxian was indeed a god-like existence. He was able to have such a battle record when he fought against Xing Luo. Even the Paramount Realm Supreme Saint was amazed.

 

Sengenwraith crawled up from the ground, but it had already injured its source, causing its battle prowess to drop drastically.

 

If it dared to charge forward again, it would be no different from sending itself to death.

 

Gong Nanfeng sighed long, ” I didn’t expect the Undying Blood Silkworm to be so powerful. It created a representative of the Yuanhui period. In addition, Xue Lingxian had once ascended to divinity, so his understanding of higher knowledge is even better than other Supreme Saint cultivators. The extremely fearsome lightning is a sure-kill move.”

 

“Is the time right?” asked Que.

 

He meant that it was time to use the Divine Artifact.

 

“There’s no other way. We can only use the Divine Artifact now,” Gong Nanfeng said.

 

The grand Fane of Destiny had to use the Divine Artifact to suppress the enemy. If the ten clans of Infernal Court and the Celestial Court knew about it, the respect they had for the Fane of Destiny would be greatly reduced.

 

Any power or empire overthrew was because they had no respect for it.

 

Respect and fear.

 

“I must kill one person first.”

 

Gong Nanfeng took out the Tensho Compass and looked at Granny Begonia and Xue Lingxian, choosing the first prey.

 

Although the Divine Artifact was powerful, it still needed a strategy to kill powerhouses like Granny Begonia and Xue Lingxian.

 

After a moment, Gong Nanfeng’s lips moved slightly as he sent out a stream of spiritual power.

 

Yu Qianchen, confronting Granny Begonia, turned around and flew down from the colorful cloud, rushing toward the Deathwraith ship.

 

Granny Begonia pointed out her wooden staff across space, and spatial ripples appeared.

 

Yu Qianchen twisted her body and pointed out a finger.

 

There were also spatial ripples on the tip of her finger, spreading out in circles.

 

The exchange between the two was not as earth-shattering as Xue Lingxian and Xing Luo, but it was more exquisite. One could see the true power in the subtleties, which melted together before finally returning to nothingness.

 

With the help of this spatial impact, Yu Qianchen landed on the sails of the Deathwraith ship at an even faster speed.

 

“Go get the Tensho Compass. Leave the two of them to me.”

 

Xue Lingxian sent a voice transmission to Granny Begonia.

 

He knew the longer they delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.

 

After all, this was the territory of the Infernal Court. When the powerhouses of the Infernal Court in Enchanton arrived, they would no longer have the chance to seize the Tensho Compass. Although the Dragon Lord had come to Hoth with them, he had already made it clear that they were the only ones who could seize the Tensho Compass and could not do it himself.

 

The stone sword in Xue Lingxian’s hand shrank and became four feet long, the length of a standard sword.

 

The power of Swordsmanship had significantly decreased.

 

However, in Xing Luo’s perception, Xue Lingxian’s threat had become even more incredible, and he felt a sense of danger that made his heart palpitate.

 

‘How could this be?’

 

Yu Qianchen also sensed the threat. Her beautiful figure landed gracefully and stood side by side with Xing Luo. The Divine Ghost Mask on her face emitted an even brighter brilliance than the blazing sun.

 

“Attack.”

 

Xing Luo decided to attack first. She slashed out an Ominous Blade, and countless precepts flew out, turning the buildings on the Deathwraith ship into dust.

 

Yu Qianchen spun and flew up like a beautiful girl. Thousands of graceful spectrals flew out of her body like a fairy dancing. However, they all used a killing technique simultaneously, which was extremely dangerous.

 

With the help of the Divine Ghost Mask, the power of the technique increased significantly.

 

At the same time, a spiritual power attack that was very close to divinity was released from her eyes. It rushed toward Xue Lingxian first.

 

Her spiritual power had reached level 69 and a half, which was the strongest in the world.

 

Xue Lingxian closed his eyes and held the sword with both hands. His lips moved slightly, and he said three words that no one could hear clearly.

 

However, Zhang Ruochen recognized these three words through the shape of his lips. His heart trembled.

 

Gong Nanfeng and Pan Ruo also recognized it. Their expressions changed drastically.

 

“Watch Out! It’s Sword Thirteen!” Gong Nanfeng exclaimed.

 

It was too late!

 

Xue Lingxian’s Heaven Sword Soul rushed out from the top of his head and merged with the stone sword.

 

Then, he drew a circle on the ground with the sword.

 

After he finished drawing a circle, half of Hoth and all the living beings within a range of ten million miles could hear the sound of the sword in the wind. The heaven and earth where Xue Lingxian, Xing Luo, and Yu Qianchen were were already filled with sword qi.

 

In Xing Luo and Yu Qianchen’s field of vision, Xue Lingxian disappeared, and so did the stone sword.

 

Crack

 

The stone sword appeared again. It had already pierced through the spectral in the sky and Yu Qianchen’s body.

 

Xue Lingxian stood behind Yu Qianchen and suffered a spiritual power attack. His body swayed slightly, and the essence, Qi, and spirit in his body significantly declined. The Ominous Blade pierced through his body, leaving a bloody hole that could not be healed.

 

However, his gaze was still sharp, and his battle intent was vigorous.

 

Swish

 

Yu Qianchen’s body cracked. Countless Sword Qi rushed out from the crack like a blossoming sword flower.

 

The sword flower took away all the ghostly qi and soul power. It was beautiful and gorgeous. It was the last radiance of Yu Qianchen’s brilliant life.

 

After that, it vanished into thin air, leaving nothing behind.

 

The former Scioness fell, and a mournful song resounded in the air.

 

It didn’t matter if it was a beautiful woman or heaven’s favorite. However, it was just an instant of brilliance in the world. It would eventually fade away and wouldn’t be able to last for eternity.
