Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

"Damn it! What is going on?!"

Ye Tianguo, who had led the team back to provide reinforcements, had a look of utter astonishment on his aged face.

In the blink of an eye, Yang Xiao's sword had claimed several lives.

This time, he wasn't waiting for the Bloodthirsty Sword to finish devouring the Essence Blood and souls of its victims. Instead, he just kept on killing.

And so, in the space of just a few breaths, he had killed seven or eight people.

Although the Bloodthirsty Sword didn't absorb from these seven or eight Immortal Cultivators directly, their Essence Blood, Divine Souls, and other energies still dissipated. They flowed into the void, transforming into mysterious streams of qi that poured into the Bloodthirsty Sword.

It happened quickly; in the blink of an eye, the bodies had turned to nothing.

A chill ran down the spines of Ye Tianguo and the others as they watched.

"Elder Tian Guo, quickly! Have the experts at the Daoist Fifth Level and above protect everyone else! This kid is incredibly fast and his methods are bizarre. But from the looks of it, he can only target those below the Daoist Fifth Level. If we surround him, he'll have nowhere to run!"

Seeing the dazed look on Ye Tianguo's face, Ye Chengzai quickly sent a voice transmission.

In that instant, Yang Xiao claimed several more lives.

Fortunately, Ye Tianguo snapped out of it.

At his command, the remaining Immortal Cultivators at the Daoist Fifth Level and above immediately formed an encirclement.

They shielded all the surviving Immortal Cultivators who were below the Daoist Fifth Level.

Seeing that his sneak attacks were no longer working, the thought of leaving crossed Yang Xiao's mind.

His body flickered as he turned to leave.

But just then, an already-prepared Ye Chengzai sneered, "You think you can just kill our people and walk away? Elder Tian Guo, shall we join forces?"

"Excellent. This boy is far too bloodthirsty; he has clearly gone down a demonic path. Elder Cheng Zai is right. Let's join forces and seal this space. We'll see if he can escape then!"

Ye Tianguo snorted coldly as well.

The two Daoist Tier Nine experts struck in an instant.

The area for dozens of miles around was completely enveloped by their auras.

Yang Xiao's expression changed instantly.

"Now, let's see how you'll escape!"

A smug look flashed in Ye Chengzai's eyes.

Ye Tianguo, on the other hand, was radiating killing intent.

Ye Tianguo felt utterly humiliated. A mere brat at the True Tier Second Peak had used a Treasure Weapon to sneak-attack and kill over a dozen of his Daoist Tier Cultivators.

If he didn't kill Yang Xiao, he felt he'd never be able to show his face in public again.

Therefore, he was now holding nothing back.

The two elders' auras sealing the space put immense pressure on Yang Xiao.

This kind of restriction—using an aura to lock down space—was the greatest weakness of his Golden Roc True Body.

If they had used a Secret Technique to seal the area, Yang Xiao could have broken through it, or even ignored it entirely.

The Golden Roc Secret Pattern of his Golden Roc True Body was a natural fusion of the Gold and Void Secret Patterns, allowing it to ignore any kind of spatial seal.

But an aura lockdown was different.

It was a direct suppression of pure power.

It was like a fight between a strong man and a skilled martial artist in a tiny room. The strong man could simply pin the skilled one in a corner.

In that situation, the skilled fighter would obviously be at a disadvantage.

He'd be forced into a contest of pure strength.

Yet, upon realizing this, Yang Xiao showed not a hint of fear.

On the contrary, a flash of excitement lit up his eyes.

'My Bloodthirsty Sword has advanced to an Upper-Grade Treasure Weapon, but I still haven't used its third Treasure Pattern. Let's see if this so-called Void Realm is really as powerful as Little Blood claimed.'

At this thought, he stopped moving.

He came to a halt right in the center of the encirclement.

He raised the Bloodthirsty Sword.

Instantly, the newly strengthened Celestial Demon Force Field radiated outward.

The force field's range had expanded from a ten-meter radius when it was a Low Grade Treasure Weapon to a hundred meters as a Middle Grade one. Now, having been upgraded to an Upper-Grade Treasure Weapon, the Celestial Demon Force Field's influence stretched out to a thousand-meter radius.

This was a massive area.

It instantly enveloped everyone present, and its effects began to take hold.

Furthermore, streams of blood-red Sword Qi began to surge out from within the Celestial Demon Force Field.

This Sword Qi was incredibly potent.

This was the Celestial Demon Sword Qi, an ability that had appeared when the Bloodthirsty Sword advanced to a Middle Grade Treasure Weapon.

It struck unpredictably.

While not as powerful as a direct strike from the Bloodthirsty Sword itself, if it hit an Immortal Cultivator at the Daoist First or Second Tier, they would likely be severely wounded.

Even those at the Daoist Tier Three would face significant trouble.

Only those at the Daoist Fourth Tier or higher could ignore it.

Of course, if the Bloodthirsty Sword were to advance another grade, that would be a different story.

Then, both the Celestial Demon Force Field and the Celestial Demon Sword Qi would see a massive boost in power.

However, Yang Xiao's focus wasn't on these two abilities right now.

It was on the third.

Upon its advancement to an Upper-Grade Treasure Weapon, something new had appeared within the Celestial Demon Force Field: mirror after mirror.

The Bloodthirsty Sword Spirit called this new phenomenon the Void Realm.

Even Yang Xiao himself wasn't entirely sure of its specific effects.

This was the first time he had ever seen it.

"Hmph. Just a bunch of smoke and mirrors. Do you really think you can harm all of us with a single Treasure Weapon? Ridiculous!"

Ye Tianguo snorted.

Without any hesitation, he thrust out his palm, sending a strike directly at Yang Xiao.

But to his surprise, Yang Xiao didn't even try to dodge.

He simply stood his ground.

But within the Celestial Demon Force Field, the countless mirrors began to move.

In an instant, at least a dozen mirrors flew in front of Yang Xiao.

They combined, blocking the path of the Palm Seal.

"You think you can block my attack with just a few measly mirrors? Laughable."

Ye Tianguo sneered.

He even added a bit more power to his strike.

Then, the Palm Seal struck the surface of the mirrors with a BANG.

"What? It went right through?"

Ye Tianguo was stunned.

His Palm Seal had passed straight through the mirrors without shattering them. Even more terrifying, his connection to the Palm Seal was severed at the exact same moment.

It was as if the attack had simply vanished into thin air.

This bizarre scene left Ye Tianguo completely dumbfounded.

"Void Realm? Haha, so this is what it does. Not bad, not bad at all."

Yang Xiao, however, began to laugh.

In that moment, he finally understood the Bloodthirsty Sword's third ability.

'Compared to the relatively weak Celestial Demon Sword Qi from the second Treasure Pattern, this Void Realm is incredibly powerful. It can manifest as mirrors to construct an illusory world, absorb all kinds of energy, and even pull living people inside. Once you're in there, everything is an illusion, yet at the same time, completely real. This is the pinnacle of the Dao of Illusion.'

'Of course, the current Void Realm has its flaws. The amount of power it can withstand isn't very high. That was just a casual palm strike from Ye Tianguo; it was more of a probe than a serious attack. If he had used his full strength, the Void Realm most likely wouldn't have been able to handle it. Forcing it to absorb the blow might have even damaged the Bloodthirsty Sword itself.'

'But if I can upgrade the Bloodthirsty Sword's grade one more time, I could use the Void Realm alone to trap and kill countless experts.'

Yang Xiao's eyes lit up.

His figure flashed and he vanished.

Meanwhile, everyone enveloped by the Celestial Demon Force Field felt powerful auras begin to surge.

Countless mirrors materialized before them all.

They separated each person from the others.

It was as if each person was now facing an entire world!

An illusory world!
