Divine Brilliance

Chapter 1017: God Refined Master

“Xiuguan, I came as per our agreement!”

His voice was like a bell that sounded throughout the Vast Habitat, causing all the troops around to terrified.

When the Black Flame Qilin stepped down, all the trees and plants in the Vast Habitat instantly withered.

The entire patch of ground turned into sand and dust. In just a breath, all the wood and earth Spiritual Energy was sucked away.

Only some of the herbs within the Spiritual Herb Garden were able to maintain their life force due to the protection of the Spiritual Formation, but it was obvious that they were shrivelled up.

This man and beast didn’t look like they had entered the Common People’s Vast Habitat but instead, they forcefully entered and squeezed in.

The former needed one to be restricted by all the laws within the Vast Habitat while the latter was a totally equal presence that merged together with the Vast Habitat!

Zong Shou sucked in a deep cold breath, thinking to himself that Taishi was really strong and amazing. Who knew what level his had cultivation reached?

Only this person was not restricted by the formation and was able to display the End Realm suppression in an unrestrained manner.

Looking at the Black Qilin once more, it was obviously half a step to End Realm and was even no weaker than Aoyi.

On the sole horn at its forehead was a Jade Pendant, which was also a God Treasure.

This Black Qilin probably had the ability to go up against End Realm Cultivators!

...This person actually had an End Realm strength God Beast as his Protector Beast?

Zong Shou’s eyelids jumped and at the same time, he felt that the little puppy in his sleeves was really annoyed and unhappy.

It actually showed its Qilin body, running all about the 1,000-foot space within his sleeves.

Without any hesitation, Zong Shou injected over a bit of Soul Power to restrict and suppress Xiaori.

Black Qilin and Qilin God Beasts were good and evil, they were deadly enemies and would be able to obtain the True Essence of one another to advance cultivation.

If the Natural Variants ate one another to survive, then it was much worse between Qilin and Black Qilins.

He knew that Xiaori wanted to dash out to fight to the death with this Black Qilin, however, the gap between the two was enormous. If it ran out now, wasn’t it asking to die?

That Black Qilin sensed something and looked over at Zong Shou with a weird expression.

It seemed to have seen something, it had a look of surprise in its eyes and it was overcome with happiness.

It didn’t pounce toward Zong Shou but instead stepped on the clouds furiously.

It scattered the seven-colored prosperous clouds that had gathered. Many strong powers directly struck at the foundations of the Ten Thousand Celestial Formation.

Xiuguan frowned once more and Lin Xuanshuang who helped to fill up the 22nd layer spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her physical body was already weak and not long ago she used Essence Energy to help Aokun cast the Spirit Sleep Inducing Technique.

The moment she entered, she instantly cast the healing rain.

At this point, after enduring the hits of both the Black Qilin and Taishi, she suffered heavy injuries.

“Preposterous!”

Lin Xuanxuan was originally using her sword to slash through the sky, using her strength to clean out and control the Will of Heaven and Earth. She tried to combine the strength into one to suppress Qingxuan and the others.

At this moment, she didn’t hesitate to turn around her sword. In an instant, a Spiritual Light spun about the seven swords in the air. It was extremely eye-catching and looked really beautiful.

The God Refined Sword directly snatched a portion of the Heaven and Earth Strength and struck down.

Even Taishi’s brow rose up.

“What a Sword Formation, unfortunately, there is flesh but no bones! What a waste...”

He didn’t dodge, casually taking out a White Bone Hammer, and with a “Dang”, he smacked onto the tip of the sword.

“It is just so!”

When the energy exploded out, 300 miles around was turned to dust. Taishi stood within the area perfectly uninjured. He continued to head toward the 32-layer tower.

Fanmeng and Lin Xuanxuan scoffed coldly and with another seal the fake God Refined Sword which was tossed off its trajectory turned back.

After the first sword failed, the second one slashed out. Following closely after were the third and fourth ones.

The Seven Swords spun constantly, slashing down with many profound trajectories and Sword Paths. It grabbed the Will of the Heavens and struck towards Taishi.

The latter was dealing with it effortlessly, but as it went on, each and every step he took got tougher and tougher.

However, in the end, he was still able to step onto the 31st layer. He looked coldly at Xiuguan for a moment and then he grinned.

“9,000 years ago, did you think that today would happen? That time you had Xi Zi protecting you and was so domineering. So arrogant and unrestrained. Have you regretted it after all these years, for creating enemies all around!”

“Ke, even if I had another chance I would still do the same thing.”

Taishi’s brow rose up when he heard this, “Your Dao Heart is indeed still so firm, however now without Xi Zi here, who else can protect you? Do you know how many people from the Common People’s Path have been dragged down by you today?”

Xiuguan laughed and didn’t reply He stood proudly in this world, so why would he need others to protect him?

Even in the past, when he fought Primordial Demon Lord, he didn’t borrow Xi Zi’s strength. There was all the more no need to do so today...

As for the last sentence, he didn’t bother about it at all. He could just fight to the death today and his conscience would be clear. To feel guilty was not something a man should feel.

He couldn’t just avoid this Taishi just because of the calamity today.

That was totally conflicting with his Dao...

Taishi also seemed to know that such words couldn’t sway his heart, he continued expressionlessly, “If you like something, you will like everything about him. The same for hate. Do you know something? Not only am I going to personally rip apart this Common People’s path! But I am also going to refine all the souls here into immortal Demon Souls. As long as I am still around, they will never die. They will enjoy the pain of their souls being refined every day. I will also seal you up, never to have a chance of revival! I will chase and hunt down each and every one of you and wipe you out. How you treated me then, I will return it to you 100-fold!”

His tone was really calm but every single corner of the Vast Habitat could hear it.

Hearing it, it just made one feel terrified.

Who knows if he injected illusionary techniques into it, but the bodies of a full 20 cultivators on the sword platform shivered with fear.

Luckily, a shout spread out in the sky.

“Such words!”

It was Lin Xuanxuan who made use of the formation, her voice was like a phoenix cry.

Another extremely powerful sword slashed into the dark clouds, piercing a hole through which allowed light to shine in. It shone right into the souls of everyone, dark clothes all dissipating.

At the same time, a sword light sped over, clashing with the White Bone Hammer.

Along with a clanging sound, Taishi’s body trembled for a moment. He was on the verge of falling like he was about to fall off the 32nd layer.

Looking at the scenes ahead, the intense and nervous expressions of the people on the sword platform relaxed. They finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Wipe out Common People’s Path, refine us all into immortal Demon Souls? What arrogant words!”

“How fortunate, Common People’s Sword Formation was actually able to suppress this Taishi!”

“This person’s demon flames are so strong, as expected from someone on the same level as Ancestor Xiuguan. I was really frightened just now!”

“With the Common People’s Seven Swords here, we are fine...”

Zong Shou listened on and his brow furrowed even more tightly. On one side, he had to suppress Xiaori, and on the other, he had to forcefully control the Nameless Sword.

This broken sword was shaking more and more intensely. Sword Energy was being born and it wanted to bring him to charge into the sky.

Calamity! Calamity! Calamity! Master, control. Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

The front part was describing things to him while the back of it was filled with killing intent which surged into the clouds.

Close to half of his Saint Realm powers were used to suppress those two.

He felt helpless and also filled with doubt. Coincidentally, Chuxue felt a chill down her spine as she looked in fear toward where the green tribulation light gathered.

“There seems to be someone there, Senior Brother Wei...”

Zong Shou’s brow rose up. He stopped hesitating and jumped up.

“Junior Sister Shui, please help me take charge of this Nine Palace Sword Formation!”

After tossing down those words, Zong Shou flashed forward and dashed toward the main hall.

His body was ethereal like it was a dream, but there were many people who were startled and they looked over.

Most of them didn’t understand and some of the God Realm elders frowned.

At such a crucial moment of the battle, how could one just leave their post like that?

Those who knew about Zong Shou’s real identity laughed bitterly in helplessness.

This disciple that Wei Xu and Yuanjing took in was the Ruler of a country, the top heir of the Lu Family. No matter how he acted, they couldn’t scold him.

Xiuguan sensed something and looked over. A weird glow flashed in his eyes, waves appearing before it regained back to normal.

Did he sense it? That the so-called Nameless Sword was actually the God Refined Sword!

The head of the Common People’s Seven Swords, formed by a bit of Xi Zi’s soul.

Would he be able to pull out the God Refined Sword this time?

Taishi Qingxuan didn’t worry about him.

The intent of an End Realm could spread all around. Each bit of dust and sand within the Vast Habitat was covered by their Spiritual Sense.

However, in their eyes, the current Common People’s Path was destined to be wiped out.

The kid below was like an ant, so why would they care? Why would they bother about him?

Zong Shou also didn’t bother about all their gazes as he headed towards the God Refined Sword.

He took a deep breath and grabbed the handle without hesitation.

The feeling of him merging as one with the sword, blood, and flesh connected as one appeared in his soul once more.

He pulled out with all of his strength. Since his sword was formed from the God Refined Sword’s Sword Spirit, then he was definitely able to pull it out!

The muscles on his arm tensed up and he pretty much went all out.

In the next moment, his heart sank to the bottom, and ice water splashed all over him, the sword still didn’t move!

Am I wrong? Is it all an illusion?

No, something should be lacking!

Standing in front of the sword, Zong Shou was in deep thought as he started to think back to the messages that spread out from the Nameless Sword Sword Spirit.
