Chapter 367: Chapter 76: The Cost of Great Divine Skill, Immortal Burial!
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Huai finished speaking and disappeared on the spot.
When he reappeared, he was already standing above the Flower Empress, and with six swords drawn, he carried the unparalleled sword power and aimed at the Flower Empress.
Even the other Demon Kings were annoyed. This white-robed sword cultivator had been fighting for a long time, with each of his moves creating a tumultuous scene. Yet, his stamina prevailed, and his fighting intent remained even more vigorous than anyone else’s.
Of the six flying swords, besides Yu Sha and the Ancestor Yan Zu’s accompanying sword, the remaining four were genuine Immortal Swords.
Even though their power had been weakened, they still erupted a terrifying sword qi brilliance in the hands of Zhao Huai.
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
“Ding!”
Rather than six flying swords, it was as if six divine pillars were soaring into the sky. Multicolored sword lights crisscrossed and fell to the ground, forming an extraordinary chain that sealed off all directions, including the escaping routes, of the Flower Emperor’s avatar.
By the time the Flower Empress looked up, she saw a magnificent, massive sword formation that had been suddenly created!
The powerful and oppressive Sword Intention coming from the sword formation was suppressing the Flower Emperor’s demonic qi.
Gradually, cracks began to appear on the Flower Emperor’s green vines, and many of the white blossoms atop the vines withered and lost their light.
“With just this kind of skill, you want to kill this emperor? You are not worthy!”
The Flower Empress glanced around coldly and said.
Immediately after, her thousands of roots began to grow rapidly, resembling green snakes, continuously shuttling through the yellow sand, spreading out for hundreds of miles!
“Puchi!”
The vine roots from underground reached all around Anxi Prefecture, piercing into the corpses of the fallen demons and human cultivators on the battlefield, absorbing the remaining energy from their bodies and transforming it into nourishment for themselves.
How many demons and humans had died on the battlefield of Anxi Prefecture?
Now, all of them had become the targets for the Flower Empress’s energy absorption.
With the nourishment from both magic and demonic power, the Flower Empress’s flower body once again became dazzling, radiating a jade-green luster, growing even more flower buds which then bred more avatars.
She used the thousands upon thousands of corpses on the battlefield as her nourishment, allowing her strength to return to its peak!
And the corpses drained of their power became shriveled, like mummies weathered by the wind.
The Flower Empress’s seductive face licked her lips with satisfaction, apparently sated by her feast.
“Today, this emperor will taste the blood of Yan Country’s descendants and see what it tastes like!”
An ethereal, cold transmission echoed through the sky.
Rows upon rows of vines began to grow wildly, transforming into green whips, with some flower buds opening up to reveal sharp teeth and mouths, striking towards the sword formation’s barrier.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The vines and sword formation continued to collide, causing the earth to tremble beneath them.
To break Zhao Huai’s sword formation, the Flower Empress used her unparalleled spiritual power, manipulated numerous beasts and Demon Kings around her, ordering them to attack Zhao Huai and help her break the formation.
More than a dozen Demon Kings sacrificed their weapons and struck at Zhao Huai.
“Sword Six, Subdue Demons!”
The six flying swords were all suppressing the Demon Emperor. Zhao Huai let out a light shout, as his endless magic power converged into a golden, crystal-clear spiritual sword.
The golden sword body floated in the sky, with its powerful Sword Intention spreading like ripples in a deep pool, continuously expanding in all directions, affecting even hundreds of miles away.
The Sword Intention at the Sword Saint level made all the broken swords left on the battlefield of Anxi Prefecture tremble!
In an instant, the entire Anxi Prefecture resounded with the humming sound of countless swords, depicting a scene of ten thousand swords singing together!
Zhao Huai’s forehead was sweating, as he formed hand signs and led with his sword finger. He didn’t dare to be careless for a moment, as controlling so many swords for the first time consumed a significant amount of mental energy.
However, the results were evident. Thousands upon thousands of flying swords surged through the sky, their sword lights shining brightly.
“Buzz!”
“Zing!”
“Swish!”
Then, the sword edges transformed into streams of sword qi, carrying a dense killing intent, and charged towards the Demon Army in the center of Anxi Prefecture.
This scene left the human cultivators inside the formation deeply shocked.From a distance, countless flying swords densely packed together, much like a dark cloud engulfing a city, descended like a rain of swords.
Each sword that fell pierced through a demon, with blood spattering all over the ground.
In the pupils of a snake demon, a sky full of flying swords appeared, and horror seized it as it found itself unable to control its body. Controlled by the Flower Emperor, it could only watch as its body was destroyed by the sword qi.
“I’m not seeing things, it’s truly the Sword Saint Realm!”
“In my living years, I can witness a human reaching Sword Saint once more. We can die with no regrets!”
“A single person’s summoning, ten thousand swords harmonizing… is this not another way for the fallen comrades to join the battle?”
Many cultivators watching this scene became extremely excited, dancing and stomping their feet, with some even shedding tears in their emotional state.
As demons continued to fall, their essences transformed into wisps of light entering Zhao Huai’s body, gradually enhancing his cultivation.
With a calm expression, Zhao Huai pointed his finger and a flying sword from the void arrived, carrying him to the highest point in the sky.
In his mind, a vision of a Great Divine Skill with a heavy cost appeared, which he had comprehended during his closed-door cultivation.
He had obtained a total of three Immortal Skills at that time.
Black and Yellow qi, Immortal Burial, and Dragon-Transformation Skill.
Immortal Burial was the only Divine Skill that Zhao Huai had not used before because the cost of executing it was extremely high.
Now that Anxi Prefecture was in crisis and Ao Jiu was fighting two top-ranked Demon Emperors alone, if he continued to exhaust himself with the Flower Emperor and couldn’t defeat her, a twist of fate would be inevitable.
Zhao Huai set up the sword formation for the purpose of executing Immortal Burial.
This technique required a massive amount of time and a stable environment.
Now that most of the demons had perished, he could finally relax.
“The Heavens know the fate of life and death, the Earth sees the endless starry sky, the Ling Hai(river of spirit) governs everything, eternal life is lawless, pity is not born when seen, and no sad cry arises upon death. All scattered droplets return, yellow soil returns to the earth, and the ceremony is unfinished…”
As Zhao Huai recited the incantation in his heart…
Within a hundred miles, an earth-shattering change occurred.
“Boom!”
Cracks began to appear in the sky, and dark clouds swallowed the entire sky, as if the entire heavenly dome was shrouded in dark terror.
The human cultivators looked at each other in awe as a strong and dense aroma of death quickly permeated the air, as if the entire Anxi Prefecture was enveloped in an atmosphere of silence.
“What are you doing?!”
The Flower Empress shouted angrily, seeing that Zhao Huai seemed to be performing a ritual of some sort.
However, Zhao Huai ignored her, continuing to sit cross-legged, mumbling the incantation.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind howled, and the scene in the square changed dramatically. In the cracks that had opened in the sky, a giant eyeball appeared and occasionally moved, making people shudder!
It was aimed directly at the Flower Empress.
The Flower Empress’s face was full of fear, as she found herself bound by an invisible force, chilling emotions surging from the bottom of her heart.
She felt as if she could smell the breath of death.
“Boom!”
The swirling clouds in the sky all dispersed, with fierce winds on both sides splitting apart a clear curtain.
The crack continued to open.
Both human cultivators and demons on the ground seemed to see a pair of giant eyes coming from beyond the void, gazing at the world.
Seated in meditation, Zhao Huai seemed to see a blur in the sky above the square, as if it was a person. However, it was an awe-inspiring existence that should not exist in this world, yet he witnessed the unfolding of this sacrificial ritual with his own eyes.
“Bang!”
Accompanied by an explosive noise, the Flower Empress, seemingly under some tremendous impact, burst apart completely!
Her many incarnations exploded, the huge man-eating flowers shattered to pieces, and their green blood mingled with the yellow sand on the ground.
Their demonic souls and primordial spirits vanished abruptly, and their life forces completely disappeared.
The Demon Emperor in the Eighth Realm had fallen!
“Pfft!”
Zhao Huai also quickly spat out a mouthful of blood. As he carefully sensed it, he felt as if something was missing from his body.
