Immortal-Exterminating Divine Venerable

"Domain Lord, do you think he might be bluffing?"

Just as everyone was frantically fleeing for their lives, an Elder from the Northern Domain suddenly hesitated and spoke up.

The moment he said this, the others were also stunned.

They couldn't help but halt in their tracks.

'That's right. That's a Divine Weapon. Even if we obtained one and it acknowledged us as its master, we might not be able to unleash its full power. This kid is only comparable to a True Tier expert. How could he possibly have the ability to even lift this Divine Weapon?'

'Even if he did manage to lift it, that doesn't mean he can unleash its power!'

"Stop!"

Zhen Dongyue was the first to stop.

He was the most arrogant of them all.

With the Vast Heaven Decree in hand, he felt that even if he were attacked by a Divine Artifact, he wouldn't necessarily die.

Sharing his sentiment was Jin Chengyi, the Sect Leader of the Golden Sun Immortal Sect. The Vast Heaven Order he possessed was even more terrifying. The power it could unleash was comparable to a Demigod Weapon. Although it was a one-time use item, its might absolutely surpassed that of an Ultimate Daoist Weapon.

It was far beyond what the Vast Heaven Decree could compare to.

Now that he saw even Zhen Dongyue dared to stay behind,

why would he not dare to do the same?

Once those two stayed, the other Three Domain Lords hesitated for a moment, their eyes glinting, and remained as well.

"See? The kid is moving so slowly. He must be bluffing to scare us!"

The Elder from the Northern Domain who had spoken first said again.

A flash of excitement crossed his eyes, clearly convinced his judgment was correct.

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

'If the kid really had the ability to unleash the Divine Weapon's power, he would have swung the sword and killed us long ago. Why would he be so slow?'

'Look at him. He's moving like a crawling turtle.'

'It took him forever just to lift the sword.'

'He doesn't look like someone who can unleash the Divine Sword's power at all.'

"Ahem, kid, we've seen through your little trick. Stop putting on an act. Surrender now, or else... hmph, hmph!"

Apparently certain that Yang Xiao was just bluffing, an Elder from the Zhenyou Immortal Sect couldn't help but speak up.

"Is that so? Are you sure I'm playing tricks on you?"

Hearing this, Yang Xiao smiled.

He had to admire these guys.

They saw him lift a Divine Weapon, yet they still dared not to run.

They were still doubting him.

Truly, they were far too bold.

'Alas, it's all my fault. I was too stingy just now, trying to unleash this strike with only one percent of the Spiritual Power. It made them think I couldn't use the sword's power at all. What a sin. But... I like it.'

A thought flashed through Yang Xiao's mind, and the smile on his face grew wider.

'If these guys had actually kept running, I would have had no choice but to pour in more Spiritual Power, which might have wasted a good deal of Ye Tianjue's Spiritual Power.'

'But now, it seems these fools have done me a huge favor.'

'They've given me so much time to gauge the Spiritual Power needed for the most ordinary of strikes.'

"Hmph, still bluffing? If you could really use that Divine Sword, you've had so much time, why haven't you attacked? Go on, attack! This Elder is standing right here, waiting for you to kill me."

The Elder from the Zhenyou Immortal Sect saw that Yang Xiao seemed to be struggling to even hold the sword, and became convinced he couldn't use it.

He began to shout arrogantly.

"Fine. I'll grant you your wish! One-tenth of the Spiritual Power—obliterate them!"

Yang Xiao let out a soft cry.

At the same time, with a single thought, a full one-tenth of the Spiritual Power left behind by Ye Tianjue in his Sea of Consciousness surged into his own Divine Soul, which instantly expanded.

This was the amount he had arrived at after detailed calculations.

Immediately after, the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword in his hand felt instantly lighter.

Yang Xiao moved.

He didn't activate the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword's Divine Patterns.

He didn't even use a named technique.

He just swung the sword lightly, a horizontal slash.

Instantly, countless streams of blood-colored Sword Qi surged forth.

They rushed toward the twenty-one people who were already some distance away from Yang Xiao.

"Not good! The kid can really use the Divine Sword's power! And this Divine Sword is so powerful! Vast Heaven Decree, out!"

"Damn it! Vast Heaven Order, block it for this Sect Leader!"

"It's all your fault! You said he couldn't use the sword! This Domain Lord has been killed by your foolishness! Mystic Nether Shield, protect my life!"

"Flame Fire Escape Technique, go!"

"Everyone, this is a matter of life and death! We can only use the Qin Family's True Dragon Secret Skill! Come, together, we'll form a True Dragon!"

The moment the blood-colored Sword Qi appeared, it locked onto all twenty-one of them.

The terrifying aura of the Divine Sword immediately made their hearts tremble with fear.

Instantly, no longer daring to be the slightest bit careless, the two Sect Leaders and the Three Domain Lords all used their most powerful techniques, hoping for a slim chance of survival.

Yan Chihuo, in particular, tried to flee directly with his Flame Fire Escape Technique.

But...

it was all in vain.

No matter what methods they used, even the Vast Heaven Order which was comparable to a Semi-Divine Artifact, they all seemed incredibly fragile before the blood-colored Sword Qi.

The sword moved.

The Sword Qi struck.

No defense was of any use. Even the Vast Heaven Order couldn't block it for a single moment before being directly annihilated.

In just an instant, the bodies of these twenty-one Void Immortal Realm experts were slashed by the Sword Qi.

Their bodies froze.

The auras around them were instantly extinguished.

Dead!

A full twenty-one experts at the Middle and Late Stages of the Void Immortal Realm, and even one at the Peak of the Void Immortal Realm. Every single one of them was stronger than the Eastern Domain's Lord, Ye Donghuang.

All of them were dead.

At the moment of their deaths,

terror,

unwillingness,

disbelief,

and anger—

all sorts of expressions still remained on their faces.

Frozen in time.

And all this was because of a single, light slash from Yang Xiao.

Even Yang Xiao himself was somewhat shocked by such power.

'It was clearly just a normal attack from a Low-Grade Divine Weapon, so why did this one slash have such terrifying power? It's almost on par with a strike from a Middle-grade Peak Divine Weapon!'

Yang Xiao was stunned.

But he quickly figured it out. The Bloodthirsty Divine Sword was no ordinary Divine Weapon. Not only had he personally forged it with Black Obsidian Gold, but he had also integrated the Bloodthirsty Celestial Cyan, a special metallic lifeform.

Later, it had even absorbed treasures equivalent in value to an Upper-Grade Divine Weapon to ascend to its current level.

If one were to claim it wasn't special, probably no one would believe it.

In fact, from its time as a Spirit Weapon all the way to a Treasure Weapon, the Bloodthirsty Sword had always been much stronger than Magical Artifacts of the same tier. It was just that Yang Xiao hadn't thought much about it back then.

Now, however, he was ecstatic.

Because the stronger the sword,

the stronger he became.

And clearly, this wasn't over yet.

Because this sword was the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword.

Sure enough, in less than a breath's time,

the twenty-one corpses of the Void Immortal Realm experts fell from the sky, almost in unison.

But before they could even hit the ground, they burst apart into torrents of blood that surged back.

They flowed into the sword in Yang Xiao's hand.

And from the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword, they surged into his body.

'This is the true power of the Bloodthirsty Divine Sword, fueling war with war, haha... Hmm? It's actually feeding back one-tenth of the power to me?'

Yang Xiao's expression changed.

He had never imagined it.

His Bloodthirsty Divine Sword would actually feed power back to him.

Although it was only one-tenth...

...even one-tenth was an enormous amount!

Moreover, after using Ye Tianjue's Spiritual Power, Yang Xiao clearly felt that a portion of it had completely fused with his own Divine Soul.

His Spiritual Power, which had been at the Early-stage High Tier of the Void Observation Realm, instantly neared the High-tier Early Stage Peak.

It had more than doubled!

And now, the Divine Weapon was feeding back energy!

This was simply... exhilarating!
