Chapter 1357: Chapter 1358 “Chen
The Godzillas roamed through the Blood River, waves of terrifying cultivation level tearing through everything. The beasts in the Blood River were blasted apart one after another. If they were fighting face-to-face on equal cultivation levels, it would naturally be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers. However, under the effect of the Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch, they couldn’t move and could only allow themselves to be slaughtered by the Godzillas.
On the Second Peak of the Sword Sect, Li Xiaobai squinted his eyes, maintaining the motion of his longsword striking down, carefully sensing any abnormalities on the system panel.
As long as the system panel showed any jumping attribute points, it would mean that within the range of the Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch, there were still creatures able to move freely and had the audacity to fight back against the Godzillas.
But after a long while, everything remained calm, and none of the worries in his heart came to pass.
Li Xiaobai had a premonition; that Blood God Child must have already arrived. More than half of the Central Origin Realm had been suppressed by this one sword, and that creature must have been among them!
“Sword Imprisonment, Demon’s Wicked Sword!”
“This is the sword technique of Li Xiaobai, the Peak Master of the Sword Sect’s Second Peak. Back when he was wanted in the Western Continent Buddha Nation, it was this very move that he used!”
“Hiss! I remember as well. That’s right, back then, he was already dominating the younger generation of cultivators. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would become a pillar of the Central Origin Realm?!”
The cultivators, after their initial panic and unease, gradually recalled the identity of this eerie sword technique.
Among the younger generation, most had been beaten senseless by the Hundred Percent Barehanded Blade Catch. However, as Li Xiaobai’s opponents later were all king-level experts, he no longer made moves against these bronze-tier weaklings.
No one expected that this strange sword technique would reappear in the world, and they once again remembered the fear of being dominated by Li Xiaobai back in the day.
“Even those terrifying blood-colored colossal beasts have been immobilized!”
“Under the Peak Master’s sword, it seems like all beings are suppressed!”
The cultivators stared at the terrifying colossal beasts frozen in place within the Blood River, their hearts trembling in awe. Such a display of overwhelming dominance! To sit at home and cut down enemies beyond the Mainland—such a method was unheard of before and would never be seen again!
At the same time.
In a small underwater cave beneath the Southern Continent’s sea, a blood-colored figure wreathed in black smoke was prostrate on the ground, unable to move.
The black smoke churned and trembled incessantly, revealing that the figure inside was struggling violently but could not break free of this horrifying force.
“Damn it! What the hell is happening outside?”
“Why can’t I move? My Dantian’s power is utterly suppressed, and even the strength of my Divine Soul is unusable?”
“What kind of person out there can completely suppress me? Such a cultivator doesn’t exist in the Central Origin Realm! Could it be interference from someone in the Immortal Gods Realm?”
“Chen! Tell me who it is! Who is disrupting the balance of the Central Origin Realm?!”
The blood-colored figure roared in fury. This power hadn’t harmed him, only suppressed him, but that was the most terrifying part—showing that the one who acted hadn’t even used their full strength. Yet even so, he couldn’t muster even the slightest resistance!
“Stay calm. We’re investigating it from above.”
“I have told you before, do not call me by my name! Also, stop referring to yourself as ‘this seat’ in front of me!”
“Today, it is a cultivator named Li Xiaobai who struck. Sword Imprisonment, Demon’s Wicked Sword—this is what the Central Origin Realm’s cultivators are calling it. More than half of the living beings in the Central Origin Realm have been immobilized by him. Not just you—he even froze the Blood River!”
The black smoke coalesced into an ancient, murky eye, speaking indifferently.
“Hmph! I knew it was that brat. It must be a problem on your end! Hurry and find the one secretly aiding him. If the balance of the Central Origin Realm shifts, no one will come out unscathed!”
Fury burned in the Blood God Child’s heart. Time and again, it was Li Xiaobai who thwarted his plans. Had he known earlier, he would have eliminated him the moment he showed signs of rising to prominence!
A weary voice emerged from the black smoke, sparking displeasure, “The intelligence you provided last time was false, nearly causing me to be reprimanded. The counterfeit Sea-Calming Divine Needle didn’t come from the Immortal Gods Realm; that’s a problem internal to your Central Origin Realm. No one in the Immortal Gods Realm has been secretly supporting this Li Xiaobai!”
“It’s the same this time. He’s suppressing you entirely with his own power. Furthermore, his body doesn’t contain any fragments—he is a true genius!”
“As the representative walking the lands of the Central Origin Realm, you failed to see through something so glaring. Truly, you’ve disappointed me!”
That black eye spun rapidly, penetrating the illusions.
“However, this technique does have a critical weakness. When the cultivator uses this sword technique, they must maintain their posture. If someone disturbs them, the suppressive power should dissipate!”
“Nonsense! Other than me, who else in the Central Origin Realm can make a move against him right now?!”
“My cultivation long ago stepped into the peak of the Saint Realm centuries back. You’re telling me this brat can independently suppress me with his own cultivation level? Impossible! Without a higher-level force, it’s absolutely unachievable!”
Upon hearing the black eye’s words, the Blood God Child froze, his face filled with incredulity.
He knew that his cultivation level was infinitely close to the Saint Realm’s Three Divine Flames. He had glimpsed broader horizons, and neither his strength nor his vision could be matched by ordinary cultivators.
“Do not doubt me. That cultivator named Li Xiaobai possesses strength and cultivation above yours. Moreover, the power within his body is extraordinarily strange—even I cannot detect it. It must be a force separate from Immortal Yuan. Truly, your Central Origin Realm has produced an extraordinary figure!”
“He must be dealt with. The Central Origin Realm cannot afford for any more cultivators to ascend!”
The black eye said solemnly and seriously.
The Blood God Child was stunned. A power distinct from Immortal Yuan? A force even this “Chen” couldn’t perceive?
Was this not a brand-new path of cultivation?
This boy might actually have a chance to breach the barrier of the Central Origin Realm and reach the Upper Realm?
“What should be done? Are you certain he possesses such capability? He’s merely a junior cultivator!”
The Blood God Child refused to believe it.
“Hmph, weren’t you also a junior cultivator back in the day? Yet here you are, having broken through the barrier and reached this point.”
“Now, after a thousand years, another has emerged. What harm could it pose?”
“The plan was to suppress the realm, allowing the Central Origin Realm to stabilize for a while longer, so that the sacrifices could gradually cultivate and amass their strength for consumption. But now, such a monster has appeared, forcing us to accelerate the plan!”
The black eye muttered to itself coldly.
“Are you referring to those six juniors?”
“They haven’t even reached the Saint Realm yet—how could they be of any use?”
