Twelve years ago, the Divine War erupted. Heavenly realm powerhouses, surpassing five-star War Gods, descended upon the ancient battlefield of Loulan, leading their armies to flatten Loulan and overthrow the Dragon Kingdom.
On that day, Jiang Zhan, standing at the forefront of the formation, wielded the God-Slaying Blade and charged fearlessly towards the Heavenly realm powerhouse.
"I possess a blade that can slay gods!"
That was the last message Jiang Zhan left in the mortal world. He slew the enemy before the curtain fell, thus becoming a legend.
Not long ago, at the Global Martial Arts Convention.
The Pantheon of War Gods, led by the Roman family, suppressed the Dragon Kingdom, aiming to weaken the influence and voice of the Dragon Kingdom's martial arts community.
On that day, Sheng Lun @ Roman, the patriarch of the Roman family and the殿主 of the Pantheon of War Gods, imprisoned Jiang Wuming within a true qi cage, intending to frame him and intimidate the entire assembly.
At that moment, the God-Slaying Blade whistled through the air. The elder, once hailed as invincible in the mortal world, appeared and uttered a world-shattering phrase: "I can wield a blade that slays all enemies under heaven. Would you like to try?"
Sheng Lun @ Roman instantly backed down, and the elder regained his invincible reputation!
Today.
When the black-robed elder from beyond the domain, with overwhelming might, had been dominating Jiang Wuming, injuring him, and sending him crashing into the earth, preparing to deliver the final blow to extinguish Jiang Wuming.
The young man soared into the sky, shouting, "I possess a blade!" The cry exploded like a thunderclap across the heavens!
As the roar echoed, numerous mysterious doors within the young man's body simultaneously opened. Secret energy poured forth, and the true qi in his body burned wildly, his aura becoming much stronger and more ferocious than before!
"This... how is this possible?!"
The black-robed elder from beyond the domain trembled violently, his face filled with disbelief, as he heard the young man's earth-shattering roar and felt his ferocious and powerful aura.
Just moments earlier, he had clearly seen Jiang Wuming buried beneath a sky full of giant true qi stones, blasted into a vast pit, and covered by soil.
Moreover, he had distinctly sensed that Jiang Wuming's aura had become extremely weak, like a candle flame in the wind, about to be extinguished at any moment.
Even when Jiang Wuming broke through the earth and charged towards the sky, he was covered in blood, appearing severely injured.
Yet now, Jiang Wuming seemed completely unaffected, his aura actually becoming even stronger than before...
This transformation was completely beyond the black-robed elder's comprehension!
Was it possible?
"Boss... Boss!"
The response to the black-robed elder was the surprised and excited shouts of Qin Xiaozhi and the other three.
Previously, when the sky full of true qi stones had engulfed Jiang Wuming, even with their blind faith in him, their hearts had been pounding, fearing that Jiang Wuming would be crushed to death by the true qi stones!
At that moment, including the usually composed and calm Qin Xiaozhi, the four had even had a thought – to disobey Jiang Wuming's previous orders and rush forward!
However, before they could turn their impulsive thoughts into actual action, they saw Jiang Wuming reappear, sensing that his aura had become even more powerful than before!
"Wuming is not dead!"
"General Jiang Wuming is still alive!"
Concurrently, in the Eastern Domain Legion's combat command center, Qin Yuanzheng, Zhu Shengxian, and others, observing the footage captured by military satellites, were filled with excitement as they saw Jiang Wuming charge into the sky. Their feeling was akin to returning from hell to paradise!
It wasn't just them; in the Martial Department Headquarters' combat command center, the elders and staff were also surprised and delighted.
Even Qi Wufu breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Is Wuming about to use the fifth form of the God-Slaying Blade Technique – God-Slaying?"
"Isn't God-Slaying supposed to be cultivated only after reaching Three-star War God?!"
Amidst their excitement, everyone’s eyes remained fixed on the screen. Some noticed the changes in the footage and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
In the footage, Jiang Wuming held the blade with both hands. After ascending to the highest point, a battle blade materialized behind him.
That battle blade was formed from true qi, lifelike and identical to the God-Slaying Blade in the real world.
In addition, countless smaller battle blades, evolved from white true qi, circled around Jiang Wuming's body.
The true qi battle blade appeared.
The young man's body began to descend. Simultaneously, holding the blade with both hands, he swung it towards the black-robed elder standing at the edge of the giant pit!
God-Slaying Blade Technique, Sixth Form
— God-Slaying!
In an instant, both the God-Slaying Blade evolved from true qi behind Jiang Wuming and the battle blades circling his body converged, enveloping the battle blade in his hands, integrating with the surging secret energy, and evolving into a blade glow.
That blade glow was resplendent, illuminating the dark night sky.
That blade glow possessed terrifying power, scattering the surrounding air.
That blade glow, unstoppable, charged towards the black-robed elder!
Danger!
Just like Jiang Wuming moments before, the black-robed elder from beyond the domain felt a deathly crisis at this moment. As if jolted awake, he fiercely waved his right hand, and a spear formed from yellow true qi whizzed out, piercing towards Jiang Wuming.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the true qi spear shattered.
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, the black-robed elder from beyond the domain followed suit, again opening his mouth to spew true qi, evolving it into a true qi stone wall, suspended in mid-air.
Boom!
With two loud bangs, the true qi stone wall crumbled.
Swish swish swish...
The black-robed elder from beyond the domain frantically waved his hands, his true qi erupting from his head like a volcano, evolving into a true qi holy mountain, hovering above him.
Boom!!
With three loud bangs, the earth cracked.
The true qi holy mountain suspended above the black-robed elder's head split open and then collapsed.
A huge crack appeared in the ground beneath the black-robed elder's feet, and his protective true qi instantly shattered.
And then...
The blade glow completely vanished.
The black-robed elder from beyond the domain unleashed three consecutive moves, ultimately neutralizing Jiang Wuming's God-Slaying blade glow, but not entirely dissipating Jiang Wuming's attack.
Under the cover of night, the sharp battle blade continued its descent, chopping towards the black-robed elder's head, which was now exposed without true qi protection.
Whoosh!
In a moment of crisis, the black-robed elder from beyond the domain, relying on his powerful combat instincts, quickly swung his hands and forcefully clamped onto the battle blade, preventing it from continuing its descent towards his head!
He had just used three moves consecutively, causing a brief pause in his true qi circulation. At this moment, he could only use his physical body to withstand the final blade edge.
"Bang—"
Just then, Jiang Wuming, using his downward momentum, stomped his feet heavily onto the black-robed elder's shoulders.
Although he, like the black-robed elder, could not circulate true qi at this moment, his physical strength remained unaffected. Moreover, the fall from high altitude lent immense power to his strike.
"Crack!"
A crisp sound of bone cracking echoed. The shoulder blades of the black-robed elder's shoulders broke almost simultaneously. The strength in his hands instantly weakened, rendering him unable to continue blocking the battle blade's descent.
"Puff—"
The blade edge sank into bone, flesh and blood flying.
The black-robed elder's head and body were successively cleaved, falling in two sections into the giant pit beside them.
"Bang—"
The young man landed, the ground shaking violently.
The edge of the giant pit collapsed, soil rolling down and burying the black-robed elder's corpse.
"I possess a blade that slays you."
The young man stood with his back to the giant pit, offering a eulogy.
