Chapter 716: Chapter 144: The Initial Form of the Supreme Void Sword Body
"Evil King, do you not dare to come out? There are some matters, I need to have a good ’discussion’ with you!"
Wan Jian Tian spoke and suddenly yelled angrily at the Void.
The Void trembled.
However, Evil King, Moon Immortal, Saint Yao, and others did not appear at all.
Wan Jian Tian’s expression gradually grew stern, he sensed something thoughtfully for a moment, afterward, his expression became indifferent, showing no sadness or joy.
But he directly stretched out his hand and unleashed the Void Power, sweeping up Zhou Gucheng, and in the next moment, they appeared above another Secondary Main Peak.
He arrived there and didn’t speak nonsense, directly pressing his palm towards the Void.
"Boom-Ka—"
This Secondary Main Peak turned entirely into ashes.
Among them, the cultivators, both male and female, of noble bloodlines, didn’t even have the chance to escape before they were suppressed and killed outright, their bodies shattered to pieces, not even leaving behind a trace of a Spirit Ghost.
Wan Jian Tian’s methods were extremely cruel, and with each strike, a Secondary Main Peak was completely smashed to pieces.
A majestic mountain, in an instant, turned into a pit and wasteland.
Wan Jian Tian’s speed was also extremely fast, in just moments, nearly a hundred Secondary Main Peaks collapsed.
He was wildly slaughtering the genius cultivators from Heavenly Que Sacred Land and Demon Soul Palace, and after he struck, there was a short absence of anyone stopping him.
Until, he once again appeared at a Secondary Main Peak, and at this peak, several white-clothed male and female cultivators had already lost their noble arrogance and were fleeing desperately like bereaved dogs when the Void suddenly trembled, then several Saints immediately stepped out from the Void, quickly standing in front of Wan Jian Tian.
"Wan Jian Saint—eh... Wan Jian Saint, have you taken that final step yet?"
The speaker was Yin Que Saint, one of the responsible persons of Nine Origin Heavenly City.
"Near god but able to slay gods. The combat power of Lei Yan King’s inheritance, you all know how formidable it is! How can you bully my Thunder Expansion Sacred Land thinking it has no defenders? Even daring to abduct the daughter of a Saint Lord? I think you’ve really gone mad! Absolutely bringing destruction upon yourselves!"
Wan Jian Tian said coldly, his words laden with a chilling murderous intent, seemingly ready to act and kill Saints to set an example.
Upon hearing this, Yin Que Saint and a group of seven newly appeared Saints from the Void were startled, a bone-chilling cold passing over them, making them shiver uncontrollably.
They were greatly astonished, seemingly never expecting Wan Jian Tian to speak thus.
"Wan Jian Tian Brother, saying this is somewhat unjust, you should know that we Saints have been trying to mediate peace between the two forces, and those geniuses under the banner of Thunder Expansion Sacred Land might have already perished if not for our protection.
Just as a balance was finally established, you’ve broken it, and now facing Heavenly Que Sacred Land and Demon Soul Palace, we are powerless to mediate, which if escalated, will benefit no one."
"Yes, Wan Jian Saint, this matter is not as simple as you think. These two descending Sacred Lands are indeed very powerful, and their stances are very aggressive."
"Wan Jian Saint, we are not unaware of the invincible reputation of Lei Yan King, although we have not witnessed it, but surely we wouldn’t foolishly oppose such a character, right? Look at Saint Lord Zhou Yan, we know he might have some ties to Lei Yan King, so we immediately supported him, how could we oppose him or dare to abduct his daughter?!"
"Indeed, you shouldn’t make subjective assumptions about this matter. We wouldn’t do such things, but those two forces, it’s really hard to say."
...
The group of Saints each shared their views.
In their attitude, they showed considerable respect towards Wan Jian Tian.
As for Wan Jian Tian having slaughtered many cultivators of the Secondary Main Peaks, although some Saints had reservations, no one actually voiced them out.
In the eyes of the Saints, after all, those genius cultivators of the Sword Void Realm and Sword Tribulation Realm were merely trifling matters between ants.
If it weren’t for the massive forces behind these ants, they wouldn’t have intervened.
"Where are Evil King’s people? How come it’s you guarding this place?"
Wan Jian Tian nodded slightly and retracted his boundless killing intent, coldly questioning these Saints.
Yin Que Saint stepped forward, his expression grave, he said, "Evil King disappeared very suddenly, we don’t know if he has been harvested as a seed. Similarly, Moon Immortal, Fairy Die, and Saint Yao have also gone missing one after another. It happens that the Void Double Saints were temporarily dispatched here, but these two have also not been seen for a while; we don’t know if they have been harvested too."
"If it weren’t for the disappearance of these personnel, who would dare to vie for Hou Chen’s Secondary Main Peak? At the very least, they would certainly have intervened to stop it."
"It has been conveyed by a Saint of Heavenly Que Sacred Land, they have been harvested."
"There are claims that they were suppressed by the eerie Killing Spirit Divine Dao and confined within some prison, but who knows. This time with the descent of the two ancient lands, Heavenly Que Sacred Land, and Demon Soul Palace, the environment of Sword Burial Ancestor Star had some unusual changes, yet specifically sensing where the changes occurred is impossible for us to detect, it’s very mysterious."
Several Saints explained to Wan Jian Tian.
Among these Saints, Wan Jian Tian only recognized Yin Que Saint, Luo Yue Saint, and Fei Xiao Saint; the remaining five Saints were unknown to him.
However, he didn’t know these people, yet they showed him great respect. Seeing their sincere demeanor, which didn’t seem deceitful, diminished Wan Jian Tian’s desire to kill the saint by a few degrees.
"I hope you have not deceived me."
Wan Jian Tian’s gaze was sharp as a sword as it swept across the faces of the eight saints, like a superior scrutinizing inferiors, and that moment’s aura made Zhou Gucheng feel an intense desire for power.
He ardently hoped that one day he could also reach such a level where even saints would fall silent in his presence and look up to him.
Zhou Gucheng’s gaze gradually became firmer and more fiery, and because of this incident, he suddenly became very worried about young master Zhou Yan. It wasn’t that he lacked confidence in young master Zhou Yan, but it was precisely because of his confidence that he was worried.
If Zhou Yan were safe, then his disciple Hou Chen’s secondary main peak would not possibly be occupied. The occupation of the secondary main peak indicated that the situation might be quite severe.
Similarly, if young master Zhou Yan were safe, then Wan Jian Tian, the sage-like cultivator, would not appear so murderous, even saying the Saint Lord’s daughter had been abducted.
Zhou Sisi being abducted... The gravity of the situation was quite clear.
Therefore, Zhou Gucheng felt increasingly helpless and hated that he couldn’t improve his strength fast enough. If he had potential like Hou Chen, he wouldn’t have nearly been killed this time; at least, he would have had enough strength to defend himself.
"Thunderbolt Dao, Thunderflame Sword Body, my body has even undergone modifications, possessing various constitution characteristics. Each constitution is recognized because of its inherent ability features, similar to innate divine skills!
But Wu Ji and Ji Wu, who have no specific constitution, are very powerful. Do I, possessing multiple constitutions and cultivated by young master in every aspect, still fall short compared to them?"
"Self-slaughter can make oneself stronger, but where is the ultimate secret technique of self-slaughter?"
"I want to combine everything to create a new type of constitution that encompasses everything, like the Heavenly Dao Universe, like being endowed with the Divine Power of All Worlds, to create an unprecedented powerful constitution!"
"The potential of a constitution lies in the strength of bloodlines, and the strength of bloodlines depends on the cohesion of the bloodlines... thus, I will refine endless thunder into my bloodline, infuse endless energy into my bloodline, and turn endless bloodlines into a single drop of blood, with this blood solidifying the constitution of the flesh, continually undergoing reincarnation and stacking, what will the final result be?"
In an instant, Zhou Gucheng felt as if he had sudden enlightenment, thinking of many things.
He felt that at this moment, a force enveloped him, making his thoughts clearer and his mind faster.
So much so that in that instant, Zhou Gucheng thought of more cultivation plans, almost ready to immediately experiment, even if it meant dying.
After a long time, he felt his blood boiling, and then he suddenly awoke, only to find that he was no longer on the secondary main peak but standing above an ancient Heavenly Pond.
The Heavenly Pond was the original domain of the Emperor Sword Wuji lineage, containing Lonely Sword Peak and the Sword Dao Heavenly Pond.
At this moment, Wan Jian Tian had somehow already arrived here, and only he and Zhou Gucheng were present.
This left Zhou Gucheng somewhat confused.
"You are capable of entering a state of sudden enlightenment at any time. Your talent is astonishing, and you can continuously comprehend the Supreme Dao, which is very rare. The Saint Lord will undoubtedly be very pleased to know this,"
Wan Jian Tian said with admiration.
"Unfortunately, as a junior, my realm is minor, and I am unable to assist the young master."
Zhou Gucheng said with embarrassment.
He did not feel the slightest bit conceited about having realized some things, nor did he show any frivolous or arrogant demeanor.
"To have such thoughts is already the best help for the Saint Lord. The Saint Lord is wise and a born genius; no matter the situation, nothing escapes his control. No matter what changes, we just need to maintain our faith in him.
"I came out this time to handle a matter, but upon reaching Tianji Mountain, I found that some unforeseen changes had occurred. However, it’s not a concern, as even the rampant rumors can only show that those people are guilty, which somewhat reassures me. You should not be affected by this,"
Wan Jian Tian said meaningfully.
"Saint-like senior—"
"Simply call me ’Sword Angel Envoy’; I am but an insignificant character in front of ’the king.’"
"Senior, you—"
Zhou Gucheng was taken aback.
"If it weren’t for ’the king’ rescuing me in the Netherworld Plane, my entire family would have truly vanished. And you, you are ’the king’s’ brother in this lifetime, the current Saint Lord. The Saint Lord in this lifetime will surely surpass the previous, being even more powerful and invincible, so in the future, your status will be above mine. I have been incompetent in my duties, often sabotaging ’the king’s’ plans. In this lifetime, the Saint Lord not punishing me severely is already a great mercy,"
Wan Jian Tian explained.
Zhou Gucheng was stunned and somewhat shocked.
He had always known the young master was formidable, but he had not expected that in the young master’s previous life, even a venerated figure like Wan Jian Tian was just a minor character in front of him.
Zhou Gucheng’s heart was even more stirred, but he also felt pride and excitement for his young master’s greatness.
"They have arrived. The Heavenly Que Sacred Land and the Demon Soul Palace, two originally opposing forces, have unexpectedly mingled together. It seems their prior ’hostility’ and ’irreconcilability’ were just for show to figures like Yin Que! Clearly, they have forgotten the king’s brutal Killing Spirit Divine Dao, so let them experien
