Chapter 191 Breakthrough

Clack, clack, clack—

Cracks had already appeared on the golden pill shell, and they were steadily expanding.

However, the people outside had no idea what was happening.

The three Sect Leaders all looked completely bewildered.

"Junior Brother Yun, you are knowledgeable and meticulous. What do you think is going on? Why can't we take back the God-Slaying Sword Formation?"

Duan Yanzhuo asked.

Yun Lan glanced at him, thinking, you're asking me? Who should I ask? This kind of thing can't be solved by being knowledgeable or meticulous, okay?

"I have a feeling that something unusual is about to happen."

Yun Lan gave an answer that was close to a universal response, without sounding too perfunctory.

As a result, Duan Yanzhuo clearly didn't understand Junior Brother Yun's attitude and continued to press, "What unusual thing is going to happen?"

"..."

This time, Yun Lan simply didn't speak.

The Ziwei Sect Leader also strongly agreed with Yun Lan's statement that something unusual would happen.

"He is no ordinary person, so the things that happen to him are naturally extraordinary."

Staring at the God-Slaying Sword Formation, which had already entered the heavy rain stage, the Ziwei Sect Leader murmured.

"Junior Sister Ziwei, alas, although the God-Slaying Sword Formation is behaving extraordinarily today, Chen Xiao's death is almost a certainty. Please restrain your grief... the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!"

Yun Lan advised.

However, hearing this, Ziwei’s eyes lit up, and she said happily, "Look, Senior Brother Yun, you also said 'almost', not 'definitely', which is not your style! I won't make a final conclusion until there is an answer."

Not making a final conclusion meant she was still full of hope!

Hope was truly a wonderful thing.

It could help people overcome many difficulties.

Then, as it was then, so it is now.

The golden sword rain, like a waterfall, crashed onto the ground, and at an angle the three Sect Leaders couldn't see, it flowed into the dark golden eggshell that enveloped Chen Xiao.

Crack, crack, crack— bang!

Finally, a small opening appeared in the eggshell, and the crack rapidly spread outwards. The eggshell crumbled and fell, becoming unstoppable.

And the fallen eggshells didn't disappear, but all merged into Chen Xiao's body.

The eggshell was originally a part of Chen Xiao's body, so the energy it had just absorbed didn't need to be refined and directly merged into Chen Xiao's body.

And Chen Xiao's cultivation level continued to rise sharply, eighth level Great Accomplishment, eighth level Peak, eighth level Great Perfection... ninth level!

Rumble—

After a muffled explosion, a golden Chen Xiao soared into the sky, bathed in the golden sword rain like a waterfall.

Nine Revolutions Azure Sky Art!

Reached its peak!

The miniature God-Slaying Swords in the God-Slaying Sword Formation could no longer cause any harm to Chen Xiao!

Seeing this scene, the three Sect Leaders' eyes widened, as if they had seen a true deity.

Especially the Ziwei Sect Leader, who even forgot to cheer and rejoice.

At this moment, only the tears streaming from her eyes could express her feelings.

Chen Xiao floated in mid-air, his arms open, his eyes closed, and as he spread his arms, all the sword rain was absorbed into his body.

Then, it was shot out by him again...

Yun Lan was stunned again, what, what, what was going on?

"Stop."

Chen Xiao casually uttered a word.

The golden sword rain, which had just been as fierce as a waterfall, stopped instantly, the golden clouds dissipated, and the three blue light shields disappeared without a trace.

The triangular base of the God-Slaying Sword Formation was constantly shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye, shrinking, shrinking, and shrinking again.

Until it shrank to its original size, the three Sect Leaders thought they could take back the fragments of the sword formation.

However, to their surprise, the sword formation didn't break into three pieces like before.

The current God-Slaying Sword Formation had become a whole, and finally became only the size of a palm, flying into the air.

And Chen Xiao summoned the God-Slaying Sword. On the hilt, there was a triangular groove. The God-Slaying Sword Formation, as if seeing its mother, let out a joyful cry and flew towards the groove, fitting perfectly into it.

Then, it completely merged with the God-Slaying Sword into one!

Seeing this scene, Yun Lan suddenly realized, and exclaimed, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is, so the God-Slaying Sword Formation is originally a part of the God-Slaying Sword!"

Duan Yanzhuo laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, isn't that right? The names are the same, why didn't we think of it before!"

The Ziwei Sect Leader still couldn't stop shedding tears. She hadn't shed a single tear in the past five hundred years.

And today, she cried out all the tears she had accumulated for five hundred years.

Chen Xiao slowly landed on the ground, and with a thought, he returned to his previous appearance.

That golden skin was too eye-catching and not low-key at all!

"Congratulations, Chen Xiao!"

Yun Lan cupped his hands at Chen Xiao, "Or should we call you Immortal Lord now? After all, in the future, you will have the final say in this Immortal Hidden Realm, and all of us will be at your disposal!"

If Yun Lan still didn't think Chen Xiao was the person who could lead them after experiencing what just happened, then he would really be a fool.

Fortunately, Yun Lan was not a fool. He was the smartest of the three Sect Leaders, just too cautious.

"Hahahaha, Duan Yanzhuo greets the Immortal Lord!"

Duan Yanzhuo laughed and bowed to Chen Xiao, the joking element outweighing the respect.

Chen Xiao smiled and shook his head, "Logically speaking, you are all my seniors, but given my relationship with Ziwei, we can only treat each other as equals, so you can just call me Chen Xiao in the future. As for Immortal Lord, forget it, I never thought about ruling anyone, I just want to gather everyone's strength together!"

Hearing this, Yun Lan and Duan Yanzhuo admired Chen Xiao even more.

"Chen Xiao, what was going on just now? We all thought you couldn't hold on anymore."

Ziwei asked, her voice choked with emotion.

Looking at the Ziwei Sect Leader, who was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, Chen Xiao tenderly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "It was just a series of breakthroughs, and I comprehended my own will."

"Then what about the God-Slaying Sword Formation?"

Duan Yanzhuo asked.

"I have established a connection with the Sword Spirit of the God-Slaying Sword and become its master, so this God-Slaying Sword Formation will be mine from now on."

Chen Xiao didn't feel any guilt when he said this.

Although the God-Slaying Sword Formation was previously in the hands of the three Sect Leaders, it was just returning to its rightful owner now that it had returned to the God-Slaying Sword.

The most important point was that only the God-Slaying Sword Formation used with the God-Slaying Sword could exert its greatest power.

Chen Xiao didn't tell the three Sect Leaders this, firstly because it wasn't necessary.

Secondly, Chen Xiao's strength had already exceeded the three Sect Leaders by too much, even to the point of being on a different dimension...
