Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Under the ferocious smash of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, the areas surrounding Mount Shu did not disintegrate completely. Instead, they separated from the Divine Lands and then started to shrink as they imploded onto a single one.

The vast sword radiance was even more ferocious and vicious. It ripped through the skin of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s humongous body, causing a large amount of blood to spew out.

As the mountains of Mount Shu collapsed, everyone on top of the mountains wobbled. Everything was trembling and on the verge of destruction.

Xin Longsheng’s face was as pale as a piece of paper. His body trembled and with much difficulty, his Immortal Soul maintained its humanoid shape. However, he continued to hold onto the Heaven-Opening Sword resolutely, pointing it forward.

“After today, either Mount Shu is destroyed utterly, or we will experience a renaissance. The only way to find out is through fighting!”

The sword radiance, without pausing for a single moment, continued to advance. It did not seem to be on the retreat as it continued to pierce at the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

In the body of this demon, one could almost see the outline of a universe rising and falling. Then, it was destroyed by the sword radiance.

The blood of the demon splattered everywhere. It was immensely hot and cultivated to its max. As the rain of blood descended, they hit the earth like comets. A single drop of blood resembled a single star. It was that terrifying.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s blood-red eyes, which resembled two stars, looked at Xin Longsheng and the Tiangang Swordmaster.

He opened his blood-red mouth, which seemed capable of devouring the very heaven and earth, and smiled cruelly.

He quickly retracted his two claws and then, placed them near the front of his chest as he clamped the sword radiance between his claws.

A violent and powerful energy distorted time and space, causing the shapeless sword radiance to take shape. Its heaven-opening force was slowly whittled away and it started to feel as if it was restricted. The mysterious sword will lost its gleam of mystery as it was caught between the two hands of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

Black fog started to rise around the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s body. From the black fog, one could see rays of black radiance, dark and cumbersome as ink, which stopped the sword radiance from advancing forward.

The sword will from the heaven and earth, which was once directed by the Heaven-Opening Sword, lost its momentum as it calmed down once more.

However, it was not easy for the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage to use his bare hands to resist forcefully against a powerful Destiny-level magic treasure too.

While his giant demon claws were able to stop the sword radiance, wounds started to appear on his palm and his fingers.

The point of his sword was deeply lodged in the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s right shoulder plate.

Xin Longsheng and the Tiangang Swordmaster both had pale faces. Their figures rippled like waves in water. Their Immortal Soul appeared to be on the brink of losing its human form.

“Strike!” The two of them said in unison. Before them, a ball of light flashed both of them. The ball of light before the Tiangang Swordmaster was the congregation of a countless amount of Saintly Celestial Sword Qi, sword will, and sword radiance. They took the shape of brilliant sword star, which shone with rays after rays of starlight.

Xin Longsheng too formed his Dao Fruit. Unlike the Saintly Celestial Sword one of yore, it was a blurry ball of light. Suddenly, a ray of sword Qi shot out and broke through the chaos. Afterward, hundreds of thousands of sword Qi appeared too.

From nothing, the ball of light materialized. Instantly, ten thousand swords appeared and together, they took the form of a world made from swords.

Both of them started to attack at the same time. The sword radiance of the Heaven-Opening Sword shone once more.

The sword will seemed capable of cleaving everything open. It defied all restrictions and it sought to remove all limitations and obstacles. Right now, it fought against the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, who was trying to stop it.

The sword radiance grew brighter and brighter and from within, one heard an explosion. Like a wave, it surged forth.

Hundreds of thousands of swords in the Divine Lands started to sound as their sword wills were all directed by the Heaven-Opening Sword. Once more, they swept their way over to the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage chuckled coldly as he appeared to completely disregard it. On the other side, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage stabilized himself in the void and soon, he was in the sky directly above Xin Longsheng and the Tiangang Swordmaster. A cold smile appeared on his face too, and then he stomped down on them from the sky!

Xin Longsheng’s eyes contracted rapidly. The Heaven-Opening Sword was blocked by the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and was he was unable to counter the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage. Right now, they were using all their strength against the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and could not defend properly against the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.

The Tiangang Swordmaster fell silent too. A cold light shone in his eyes as he tried to counter them.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage was forcefully resisting against the Heaven-Opening Sword and hence, there was no room for them to retreat from him too. Yet, the threat posed by the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was almost directly upon them.

The best plan right now was for the Tiangang Swordmaster to forcibly resist against the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage and slow his attack. This was the best way to survive this blow.

However, if he left, then Xin Longsheng would be operating the Heaven-Opening Sword alone. The pressure would face from the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage would be immense.

The result was not optimistic.

Sword will brimmed from the bodies of Xin Longsheng and the Tiangang Swordmaster. A resolute gaze entered their eyes as they disregarded the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage who was right above their heads. They continued to use all their strength to operate the Heaven-Opening Sword as they assailed the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage!

Compared to a shameful defeat, they would rather fight to the death. This was their only chance to severely injure the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage, despite the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.

The Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage looked at the scene before them and said coldly, “Without your Immortal Heaven Universal Sword Formation, you guys manage to re-form a Destiny-level sword. Perhaps in the days to come, you will be able to form a formation like the Immortal Heaven Universal Sword Formation. Then, you will still have a chance at success.”

“Too bad, you don’t have this chance today!”

Black fog spewed from his body and his terrifying strength almost materialized into something concrete. Combined with the black fog, this allowed his entire body to turn into a world unto itself.

In the black fog, the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage’s body suddenly disappeared before the eyes of the Tiangang Swordmaster and Xin Longsheng.

They could not see his body nor could they sense his body anymore with their spiritual powers. As they struck out with the sword radiance, they appeared to have lost their target.

“Give up, if we continue, we can’t injure the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage but instead, we will be injured by the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage. Then, it will be difficult to counterattack.”

“If we recall our sword avatar to defend against the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage, we may be at a disadvantage but at least we will have the space to maneuver.”

“Even if we aren’t their match, we can hold them off until others come to our aid. Then, we don’t have to fear the demons anymore.”

“Retreating now allows us to counter-attack later. It is not wise to fight to the death just like this.”

“With the Heaven-Opening Sword, Mount Shu can finally undergo a rebirth. If everything fails, I will sacrifice my life to send Longsheng and the Heaven-Opening Sword away from here.”

“As long as we make it past today, Mount Shu will have a chance for a renaissance.”

“Even if we can severely injure the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage now, we will be severely injured by the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage. The Earth Dragon King is still around. We can’t escape the fact that we will still be defeated. By the time the others get here, Mount Shu will be gone.”

At that moment, a countless number of thoughts appeared in the minds of Xin Longsheng and the Tiangang Swordmaster. Then, all these thoughts were treated like subversive elements in their minds and eliminated.

All that was left in the end was pure resolve.

Even Ji Wenrui and the others, who were severely injured, tried to stand up. While their spiritual powers had been wiped out, their pure, unadulterated sword wills were still present.

The sword radiance that pierced into the black fog became brighter and brighter. As it became more eye-catching, it was able to slice apart the black clouds around it like how chaos was split apart. The sword, made from the spiritual energy of all under heaven, continued its advance.

The body of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage appeared before their eyes once more. he looked shocked.

At that moment, the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage came crashing down from the sky like a brick. He was almost right above their heads!

Heaven and earth started to tremble and the void was split apart. Two figures appeared. One was a tall and handsome youth, and the other was an elegant girl in a yellow dress. They were Shi Tianhao and Shi Xingyun.

Shi Tianhao stared at the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage and asked, “You ran away from the Barren Expanses, and now?”

With that, his figure shimmered and split into two in the sky. He took the forms of Yingyuan and Huangshen. On top of each of his bodies, Twelve Divine Generals and a City in the Sky floated. Then, they rushed toward the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage.

In an instant, they were in front of him. The Huangshen Body punched out together with the Twelve Divine Generals.

On the other side, his tall Yingyuan Body slammed his palms together and a countless amount of purple lightning shot out from his body. He descended down like the god of thunder as the purple lightning enveloped his body.

At the same time, the City in the Sky above his Yingyuan Body’s head started to spew shapeless, but immensely sharp, divine winds.

The tempest caused the City in the Sky to disappear into the void.

An infinite amount of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and Nine Heavens Formless Squall merged together and helped each other to grow. Together, their power was brought to an unbelievable level.

That ever-increasing power appeared extremely strong at first, but it was still not worthy of the attention of the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage and the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage. Yet, its potential and its growth rate made them frown.

In the blink of an eye, the powerful storm of wind and thunder increased exponentially in strength without any sign of abating!

The earth-shaking roar of a dragon sounded as the Earth Dragon King came before Shi Tianhao as he tried to help the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage block the attack. However, he paused.

In the void in the distance, a patch of blurry light enveloped a golden celestial dragon that was even bigger than the Earth Dragon King. Its awe was terrifying as it appeared to be the origins of everything. Twisting in the void, its body appeared big enough to envelop the entire heaven and earth.

Shi Xingyun, clad in a pale-yellow dress, rode on top of its head.

As the giant dragon probed with its claws, the space surrounding the Earth Dragon King turned white.

Chaos, which seemed capable of enveloping the gray-white world, appeared in the void. Time stopped, and yet it seemed to be changing. It was an eternity and a second.

The Earth Dragon King raged. “You delivered yourselves to me!”
