  Gu Xiao and that Skymist Immortal Empire’s expert stared at the numerous ancient characters blotting out the skies. Each and every character contained a supremely terrifying law energy that formed a resonance with the heavens and earth, glowing with divine light.

  "He’s only at the sixth-level, how can he unleash such power. Is this a secret art?" Gu Xiao’s expression was extremely unsightly. For geniuses with a status like him, the cultivation arts they cultivated usually would be an extremely high graded one, far above their current levels. The attacks derived from the cultivation art would naturally be incomparably tyrannical and were able to support them as they continued down their path of cultivation.

  Precisely because their attacks were extremely tyrannical, they would usually only be able to unleash a part of that strength. As their cultivation level rises, the more potential they would be able to unleash. For example the paragon sword technique he was using now, could the power of this be compared to when he broke through to the immortal king realm in the future? Even if they unleashed the same technique with the same amount of strength, the power output would differ because their proficiency in circulating and understanding of law energy would be a tier higher. The might unleashed would then naturally be different.

  As for Qin Wentian, it seemed that he had managed to unleash the full potential of that terrifying innate technique and cultivation art he was cultivating. The ancient characters were like a supreme law blotting out the skies, powered by the words of truth, resonating with the energy of the heavens and earth.

  Gu Xiao’s expression turned solemn. In the blink of an eye, four experts on their side were killed. The strength Qin Wentian had displayed caused them to take this more seriously than ever. Sword qi radiated from him, desiring to slay even the heavens and after that, Gu Xiao stabbed out his finger, transforming into a paragon of swords, creating tidal waves of sword might, forming into a churning sword qi river that rushed up into the nine heavens, wanting to annihilate all existence.

  That expert from the Skymist Immortal Empire was also at the eighth-level and was incredibly powerful. His divine elephant wanted to suppress the mountains and rivers and with a lift of his palm, the power he unleashed could shake the sky.

  The tyrannical attacks of the two of them slammed into the ancient characters. Terrifying blasts of destructive light flashed through the skies as chaotic currents swirled all around. Qin Wentian’s powerful physique simply waded past these chaotic currents as he moved towards that expert from the Skymist Immortal Empire. His immortal-foundation transformed into a transparent great roc akin to a totem that radiated a fearsome law energy.

  Qin Wentian lifted his hand and pointed down below. In that instant, his immortal-foundation thrummed as boundless energy was channeled into his finger. The shrill cry of sky rocs could be heard as numerous rocs manifested, slashing apart the void. In an instant, numerous roc talons grabbed out at the expert from the Skymist Immortal Empire. He howled and blasted out a gigantic divine elephant in response, destroying some of the rocs yet he only saw even more rocs being manifested as they frenziedly shot towards him.

  "Puchi……" A light sound rang out, the wings of a roc slashed through him. The expert from the Skymist Immortal Empire froze, a red line could be seen at the center of his brows, from top to bottom, slashed by the roc wings. His expression was ashen as an intense terror birthed in his heart.

  He was a prince-level character of the Skymist Immortal Empire, a supreme genius with a boundlessly bright future. Yet today, was he going to die here?

  A beam of red light flashed as his body was ripped into two. Another genius has fallen.

  While Qin Wentian was killing him, Qin Wentian’s body was still within that sword river, the intensity flowing into Qin Wentian, wanting to destroy his defenses. Gu Xiao turned pale, of all the six experts, he was the only one left. During his attack with the paragon sword technique, Qin Wentian had managed to kill one of his allies.

  However, Gu Xiao soon regained his calmness. He wasn’t angered, his heart was simply filled with the intent to slaughter Qin Wentian. He chanted some obscure words as a fearsome windstorm descended, enveloping Qin Wentian within, trapping him there. That towering sword river then gushed with full momentum and force towards Qin Wentian, wanting to lacerate him into pieces.

  Qin Wentian’s body glimmered with the light of truth but his defenses were still crumbling underneath the towering sword might. The paragon sword technique’s might was simply boundless, Gu Xiao was truly stronger when compared to Lei Ba.

  Qin Wentian’s perfect immortal-foundation transformed once again, emitting a brilliant light. Qin Wentian immersed himself within that light as his body of truth manifested behind him. The golden buddha glow covered him entirely as runes of power manifested, forming more ancient characters that acted as a layer of defense against the towering sword might. The strength of his fleshly body was simply unfathomable, extremely shocking to behold.

  He continued forward step by step, moving towards Gu Xiao. Gu Xiao’s expression was solemn, he actually grunted and coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood, channeling the power of his blood into his sword river, causing another burst of energy to infuse it. At this moment, a blood-colored paragon sword appeared behind him, this was his life treasure that was linked fully to him. The moment this sword appeared, it was like the sovereign of all swords, with the authority to command all swords.

  The glow from this sword dyed the entire sword river red, illuminating the space.

  "You are very strong." Gu Xiao suddenly spoke. Right now, he did truly feel some admiration for Qin Wentian. To think that a sixth-level immortal could be this strong. He had never seen this before.

  He Gu Xiao was an innate sword king of the Paragon Sword Sect, a leading character of this generation that had unparalleled combat prowess, an extremely terrifying existence. However, Qin Wentian actually managed to fight him to this extent with a mere sixth-level cultivation base. One had no choice but to admit that Qin Wentian was truly extraordinarily strong. He had never met someone who was so powerful before.

  "But today under my paragon sword, you will die here for sure." Although Gu Xiao was impressed with Qin Wentian’s strength, his killing intent was as strong as ever. In fact, he wanted to kill Qin Wentian even more now. If Qin Wentian didn’t die and he managed to break through two more levels, how many experts in the sacred academy would be able to stand equally against him? At that time, no one in his Paragon Sword Sect would be able to survive.

  He had to kill Qin Wentian. In addition he also truly believed that under the power of this sword, Qin Wentian would die for sure.

  "I initially thought that you were praising me, but in the end it was nothing but foolish conceit." Qin Wentian spoke with cold arrogance. His God’s Hand furthered augmented his defenses. Gu Xiao’s sword might actually had no way to crumble his defense any longer.

  "This is my life treasure sword. When I slash out with it, not many people in the sacred academy would be able to receive the strike, with you included. For those peak ninth-level supreme genius characters, they would all die for sure underneath this sword of mine." Gu Xiao brandished his sword finger as the blood-red sword behind him began humming and unleashed torrents of sword qi that continued slamming into Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian’s body of truth actually began to crack.

  "Since you are my enemy, you have to die." Gu Xiao continued pressing his finger forward. The sword river churned even more fiercely as the sword might in the area doubled.

  That burst of sword qi gushed right into Qin Wentian’s body of truth, causing it to be on the verge of shattering. He stared at Gu Xiao, the power of this life treasure sword truly had some capabilities. As an innate sword king, there was no need to doubt Gu Xiao’s potential and strength.

  Sadly, he met the current him.

  Qin Wentian’s perfect immortal-foundation could transform into all attributes he was familiar with. Right now, numerous images of greater demons were branded on his immortal-foundation. Qin Wentian’s long hair fluttered in the wind as a demonic gleam could be seen in his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to be half-buddha and half-demon.

  The roars of the eight ultimate greater demons converged, shattering rivers and mountains as a power of pure destruction manifested

  Upon feeling the might Qin Wentian was unleashing, Gu Xiao’s expression changed. After that, his finger stabbed forth once again.

  "KILL!" As the sound of his voice rang out, it transformed into boundless killing might. The paragon sword swept along the sky, radiating blood-colored boundless sword qi that rushed up towards the clouds.

  Qin Wentian blasted out his palm, shooting out that supreme destruction energy. The eight greater demons actually transformed into eight demon gods that joined their energies as they directed their attacks at Gu Xiao. In the air, the maw of a demon god actually appeared, desiring to devour everything. That boundless sword river gradually vanished, swallowed by the maw of the demon god, even the blood-colored paragon sword was devoured as well. Gu Xiao howled in madness, veins popped out on his forehead as he struggled to maintain control. The paragon sword then tore a path through and shot out of the demon god’s maw, flying towards Qin Wentian.

  However soon after, he soon groaned in misery as he realized the connection to the paragon sword was lost. After that, the world turned dark. He saw the maw approaching him with unfathomable speed and he himself was actually already devoured into the demon god’s maw. When he realized his situation, his countenance couldn’t help but to turn as pale as paper.

  Qin Wentian’s attack continued blasting out, causing a terrifyingly deep crater in the earth. Gu Xiao and that paragon sword had already disappeared.

  Qin Wentian stood in the air. The space here returned to its usual silence. At this moment, all the six supreme experts were killed by him, including a sword king of this current generation from the Paragon Sword Sect.

  However, Qin Wentian didn’t feel delight because of this battle. He was as calm as ever and continued flying towards the distance. Qing`er and Qingcheng were hiding somewhere in the academy and he didn’t know if they were still alive or already dead. Also, there’s Jun Mengchen, Little Rascal, Purgatory and Nanfeng Yunxi. How could his heart be at ease? If something happened to them, so what if he annihilated all the major powers who participated? That wouldn’t bring them back.

  Some time after Qin Wentian left, another group of figures appeared here. When they sensed that lingering aura of Qin Wentian, and saw the huge crater and numerous fissures on the ground, their countenances all changed. Such a powerful destructive might was most likely a result of some extremely tyrannical attack.

  A few moments later, their expressions turned ashen when they saw a corpse on the ground. If those who pursued Qin Wentian had the power to kill him, they should all still be alive and at this location at this moment.

  All six of them had vanished. Could it be that Qin Wentian was the victor of this battle?

  If this was the case, Qin Wentian’s combat strength definitely needs to be re-evaluated. Or could it be that he has already broken through to the seventh-level of immortal-foundation?

  If that was really the case, most probably only ninth-level immortals would have the ability to stand against him.

  They mutually exchanged glances, not knowing if they should continue to pursue after Qin Wentian or not.

  However right now in an extremely faraway place, there was actually a group of experts that were tracing their way back. These people were none other than Jun Mengchen and the others. He knew that Qin Wentian would definitely try to find them and right now, what they should do is to gather together and increase their strength. Only then would they be able to fight against the enemy groups who pursued them and didn’t have to continue fleeing hopelessly.
