The Heavenly Saber Novel - Chapter 963
Chapter 963 Wind and Cloud Rising Again (5)
At the Sword God Mountain, the Void Gate opened and a large crowd gushed out.
“Cough cough, I feel like I’m about to die. My chest was injured by Li Qing’s Eternal Heavenly Saber. I need urgent treatment!” A Dao Realm expert coughed up blood repeatedly.
“I’m pretty much the same. Even if my life isn’t in danger, I still feel that it will take a few years to recover. How can I deal with the crisis next?” Another person said.
“Looks like our injuries aren’t light either. Li Qing’s strength is too terrifying! Everyone, hurry up and follow me. Entering the Sword God Mountain will cure everyone’s injuries!” Elder Sword said with a grey face.
Not long after, the Sword God Mountain’s array formation was fully activated. Streaks of sword light flickered in the void, condensing the power of heaven and earth, representing the world’s most exquisite sword dao.
This was personally set up by the Sword God back then. It was called the Ten Thousand Swords Return Array, and it was a world-famous offensive and killing array.
“The Ten Thousand Swords Return Array is based on a large number of sword artifacts. The more sword artifacts there are, the more powerful they will be!”
“Back then, our Sword Sect had the Seven God Suppressing Swords, along with countless spirit artifacts, true artifacts, precious artifacts, and other low-grade sword artifacts, buried on the Sword God Mountain. The power of the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect is truly unstoppable!”
“However, there is a Lunar Divine Sword missing from the Seven God Swords of the Zhen Sect. In addition, the Heaven Severing Sword has also been damaged, so its power has decreased.” Elder Sword looked around.
“May I know what we can do for you?” Everyone asked.
“If you have any treasured swords or famous swords in your hands, you can all contribute. Joining the Myriad Swords Returning Sect Formation will greatly increase the power of the formation!” Said Elder Sword.
“I do have a Spirit Weapon grade sword in my hand, but I wonder if it will be returned at that time?” Someone asked.
“That’s for sure! I, Sword Sect, am not a bandit, so how can I borrow it and not return it?” Elder Sword smiled.
“Alright, let’s testify in front of our fellow Daoists today. We don’t need to worry that the Sword Sect will swallow our weapons! Let’s temporarily lend the sword in my hand to the Sword Sect!”
…
Just as the Sword Sect was setting up the Ten Thousand Sword Return Array, Li Qing and the other Dao Realm experts returned to the Holy City and began to rectify the order here.
After the Heavenly Alliance forces withdrew, it was equivalent to abandoning this city. Of course, the people inside would no longer make meaningless sacrifices and surrendered one after another. Soon, they were occupied by the Devil Dao.
“This Holy City is of great significance. The overall situation in the Eastern Region has basically been decided after being captured by us today.” Everyone laughed.
“However, the main forces of the Eastern Region have not been completely wiped out. They have escaped, and they may return at any time. Everyone, do not take it lightly.” Devil Saint You Luo said.
“Of course. After the collapse of the Heavenly Alliance, where will they seek refuge?”
“Only the Cosmos Sect and the Sword Sect are capable of using the remaining territories in the Eastern Region. If I’m not wrong, I’ll probably retreat to the Sword Sect.”
“The Sword Sect has a formation personally set up by the Sword God back then. It’s not that easy to break through.”
“Even the Sacred City has been destroyed. Could it be that the Sword God Mountain is harder to deal with than the Sacred City? I really don’t believe it!” Everyone was discussing in succession, and their tone was relaxed.
“That’s right. With our Lord Demon Lord here, what difficulties can’t be solved? The Sword God is not impossible to surpass. Why should he be so scared?”
Right at this moment, someone came in and reported, “Lord Demon Lord, there is news that the Corpse God Burial Ground has begun to move. Endless zombies are pouring out, attacking the city and occupying the territory.”
“These living dead people knew they would come to take advantage of us at this time! A bunch of rats!” Everyone was unhappy and cursed.
“It’s not impossible to add something to the romance, but it’s impossible to take advantage of it for nothing. You should immediately arrange for people to contact the Corpse God Burial Ground and have them send out Corpse Demons of the Dao Realm to fight together!” Li Qing said.
“What if they refuse?”
Li Qing smiled faintly, “Don’t worry, they will.”
Not long after, the Corpse God Burial Ground indeed sent people over. Not only were there a dozen or so Dao Realm corpse devils, they also brought along a large group of zombies. Of course, these zombies were much weaker. They were all flying yakshas, golden corpses, silver corpses, copper corpses, and so on.
Li Qing arranged for the Corpse God Burial Ground to form a legion called the Corpse God Legion, which could be considered a decent fighting strength.
Most importantly, even though the Corpse Demons at the Dao Realm were generally weaker, they couldn’t be underestimated. Among them, the Corpse God himself came. This person’s strength was already comparable to the Six Tribulations of the Dao Realm. This was a high-end battle power in the Myriad Demon Sect.
This was the first time many of Diabolism’s major powers had seen the Corpse God himself. After all, this fellow had been hiding in the Corpse God Burial Ground all day and didn’t dare to come out, so it was difficult to meet him.
Although the Corpse God’s strength might not be unparalleled, it possessed the Graveyard of the Corpse God and could be considered invincible in the Graveyard. Even the Sword God could block it, so its identity was very special and no one dared to underestimate it.
“Haha, the Demon Lord is truly impressive. He can actually defeat the Righteous path forces in the Eastern Region. This old man has lived for so long. This is the first time I’ve seen Heavenly Alliance in such a sorry state.” The Corpse God laughed.
“It’s just a small victory. It’s not worth boasting about. In the next few days, we still need to work together to sweep across the five regions of the world and realize Diabolism’s long-cherished wish of 100,000 years.” Li Qing said.
Three months later, the army of Diabolism set out once again, advancing towards its next goal.
The Sword God Mountain had already set up a peerless array here, waiting for Li Qing and the Myriad Devil Sect to arrive. During this period of time, another battered army of defeated generals came to the Sword God Mountain to gather. Heavenly Alliance’s power was revived, and a large number of martial artists gathered.
The Sword Old Man, the Chaos City Master, the Cosmos Sect Master, the Immortal Sovereigns, and the others stood at the top of the Sword God Mountain, watching the horizon from afar, quietly waiting for Diabolism’s forces to arrive.
Rumble!
In the distance, smoke rose from the sky. Immediately after, a black line appeared in his field of vision. All over the mountains and fields were Diabolism’s troops. It was so dark that it surged over like a tidal wave.
In the middle of these armies, there were also Ancient Desolate Cannons, Ancient Desolate Warships, and so on. Millions of war weapons emitted an icy cold aura, causing one’s heart to palpitate.
“Coming, Diabolism’s army is coming!” The Sword Old Man said with a serious expression.
“I think I saw a group of Corpse Demons. Did they also hook up with the Myriad Devil Sect?” Someone said.
‘”Although it’s unexpected, it’s reasonable. Corpse Demons are also demons and are classified as Diabolism. If it weren’t for the fact that we couldn’t break through the Graveyard of the Corpse God, we would have been annihilated countless times. Since that’s the case, how could they not come out and take advantage of us?”
“The enemy has increased their power, but let’s not mess around! No matter how many of them there are, they will still be wiped out in front of the Ten Thousand Swords Return Array!” Said Elder Sword.
A huge pressure came from the sky. The Ascension Heavenly Palace descended with trembling power, floating above the nine heavens.
Li Qing stood in front of the Ascension Heavenly Palace. He looked at the Sword God Mountain from afar and said, “You guys even broke through the Holy City. Do you think that relying on this Sword God Mountain, you can fight us?”
“Li Qing, I admire your strength, but now, you are still not invincible.” Elder Sword said, “In my Sword God Mountain, there is a supreme killing array. If you can cross it, then why not give this territory of the Eastern Region to your Diabolism?”
“Oh? Is it the Myriad Swords Return Array?” Li Qing said, “Looks like you’re all planning to use this Myriad Swords Return Array to kill me?”
“That’s right, I’m asking you right now, do you dare?” Said Elder Sword.
“Why don’t you dare? I also want to experience the Sword God’s skill!” Li Qing said.
“Sect Master, no! This is a provocation! Don’t fall for it!” Everyone’s expressions changed drastically as they tried to persuade him.
“I know, but I’m not afraid.” Li Qing said.
“But …” Everyone was extremely anxious.
“What? Don’t tell me you don’t have confidence in my strength?”
“That’s not true. It’s just that knowing that it’s a trick, you still dare to barge in. Obviously, this is not done by a wise person.”
“So you’re calling me stupid?”
“Alright, since Sect Master has made up his mind, we have nothing to say. However, be careful so as not to get caught in the scheme!”
Li Qing nodded and immediately left the Ascension Heavenly Palace to enter the Myriad Swords Return Array.
As soon as they entered, the world changed color. Countless sword artifacts buzzed from various locations on the Sword God Mountain, emitting boundless sword intent. They converged into a peerless sword light. It was the brightest sword light in the world, slashing towards Li Qing!
“Everyone in the world respects the Dao of the Sword. Today, I will slay your peerless Dao of the Sword, destroy it, and become the name of the Eternal Heavenly Saber!” Li Qing took a deep breath and directly slashed forward with the Eternal Heavenly Saber without using any unique techniques. Similarly, he condensed a resplendent saber light and collided with the other side.
The two extreme rays of light met without making a single sound, annihilating in the void. However, no one would ignore their power!
On the Sword God Mountain, even more swords were whistling, continuously providing energy to gather into the Ten Thousand Swords Return Array.
The swords here weren’t just ten thousand swords, they were hundreds of thousands or millions of swords. With so many swords, a small amount of them had accumulated, and their strength had gathered together to once again transform into a peerless sword light.
Looking at this sword light, Li Qing’s heart was actually touched. The sword dao contained in this was too exquisite. He couldn’t help but be amazed. The Sword God was indeed the existence with the highest cultivation of the sword dao in the world.
Li Qing had been using the Eternal Heavenly Saber for a long time, but he had used the power of the saber more. On the contrary, he had little understanding of the essence of the saber dao and had fallen into a pause.
Today, after seeing this Unparalleled Sword Dao, he finally understood that the Dao of such artifacts had actually reached such an unbelievable level!
Thinking of this, Li Qing was no longer in a hurry to break the formation. He slowly circulated with the Myriad Swords Returning Sect Grand Formation and learned the unparalleled skills contained within it.
Of course, the power of the Ten Thousand Swords Returning Sect Formation was extremely powerful. It could cause enormous damage to Li Qing. However, the problem was that Li Qing possessed an undying body and also possessed the Heavenly Profound Technique to recover his strength. If the Ten Thousand Swords Returning Sect could not destroy him with one strike, it was basically impossible to kill him again.
When Elder Sword and the others saw the situation inside the Ten Thousand Swords Return Array, they had a bad premonition. Knowing that this killing array was very difficult to kill Li Qing, they couldn’t help but shake their heads in disappointment.
“Looks like Li Qing has been stalled by the Ten Thousand Swords Return Sect. Why don’t we take this opportunity to eliminate his subordinates?” Someone suggested.
“But the problem is, even if the Myriad Devil Sect loses Li Qing, they are still stronger than us.” Everyone wanted to cry without tears.
“Relying on the Divine Sword Mountain, we might be able to cause some damage! We might as well give it a try. In short, we can’t make the Myriad Devil Sect feel better.”
Following that, there was another fierce battle outside. Li Qing could clearly see these things with his divine sense in the formation, but seeing that the Myriad Devil Sect had the upper hand, he could rest assured to stay in the sword formation and comprehend them.
