The Heavenâs Eye from the City of Supernaturals darted into the void and wanted to flee from the scene. But a loud shout rose as Li Hao, Earthturner Sword, Light Sword, Hou Xiaochen, Huang Yu, Tyrant Blade, Northern Fist, Southern Fist, Yao Si...
Almost all powerhouses that could still bring strength to bear acted at the same time! Their target was one person, and one person only. The Heavenâs Eye!
Off in the distance, Ying Hongyue turned back with confusion. âWhere did that idiot supernatural come from? Weâre all gone, but sheâs still making up her mind. Sheâs too ugly or I mightâve given her a reminder...â
He felt the situation rather odd. The rest of the group was gone, but she lingered. Do you really think that the City of Supernaturals is invincible? They donât force us to stay because theyâre concerned that weâll fully unseal ourselves, leading to a pyrrhic victory. What right do you have to be so cocky as a singular supernatural?
Yama also looked back with a strange expression and laughed. âSheâs braindead!â
Were all supernaturals braindead? There were so many heavyweights left on the scene that boiled with rage. Silver Moon martial masters were beside themselves with fury that Earthturner Sword and Li Hao had become supernatural. Didnât she see that the rest of them had run?
What was she staying for? What was she thinking? Or was she not thinking at all?
Ugly people are so weird!
Celestial Sword Immortal had long vanished in the distance and sneered when she sensed the disturbance. Supernaturals not from the martial master system were all trash in their eyes. They were all idiots and braindead. It didnât matter if one of them died.
......
Kaboom!
Fireworks exploded over the sea! The immensely powerful Heavenâs Eye only had time for one ghastly scream before being obliterated. There was no surprise about her death. Everyone here burned with rage; although she was a very stable Arcanus, what did that matter when faced with so many people??
Li Hao and the rest hadnât thought that this woman would choose to be the last to leave. Didnât she see the lord of Yonder Mountain not say a word from beginning to end before quickly running away?
âWhat an idiot!â cursed another handful of people. Where did such a half witted cultivator come from? Even the old ministers couldnât help eye rolls. What was she thinking?? Were pure supernaturals all so useless?
Not even Sky Sword might prevail over such a strong woman in single combat, but she died in this manner to a joint collective of Silver Moon martial masters!
A Heavenâs Eye Arcanus was all too rare, but what use was one? Gone in the blink of an eye!
This was the fourteenth Arcanus to perish today. Apart from the lord of Buddha Mountain, the rest of the fourteen whoâd stood outside Skystar City were all dead. The group filled in Buddha Mountainâs place with a Heavenâs Eye instead, perfectly rounding out the numbers!
It was frightfully quiet over Skystar Sea. There were a dozen supernaturals gathered behind the groupâall Arcanus as well. There were five old ministers and multiple current ministers gravely considering the scene.
Representatives from the three great organizations and divine mountains had all run off. The City of Supernaturals was just here for the show, but theyâd lost a premier Arcanus as well. Even the raging waves of the sea quieted down as they were enveloped by a grave air of solemnity.
......
Over the Skystar Sea.
There were more powerhouses than could be counted. This might be the most that Silver Moon had ever sent, and they looked silently at the five old men standing in front of them. No one backed away, even with Hong Yitang having unsealed himself and the three great organizations retreated.
A red light shone in Li Haoâs eyes before he stepped on a bolt of thunder and dashed over. Since Ying Hongyue and the others had left, there was no need to be polite to these people.
The massive whetstone once more descended in the sky to suppress the four corners. The five old men were plainly prepared and deployed their abilities to the utmost. When Hong Yitang and the rest charged, an old man mumbled a string of words to manifest a large character in the sky.
âBattle!â
BOOM!
The character seemed to summon a god wielding a large blade. It illuminated the heavens and caused the skies to fall in when it swung its weapon.
âThe battle techniques of core origin!â Yuan Shuo identified with shock. âThis is a secret art of Tranquil Star!â He looked solemnly at the five men and rapidly transmitted to Li Hao, âThis is a battle technique from the ancient sacred land of martial daoâTranquil Star! Mental strength is condensed into a character, itâs a technique of core origin. I canât believe that core origin can still be coalesced in this day and age, be careful!â
The character was unbounded in its power. Li Hao clashed with the divine being in the sky, his wind and thunder energy showing hints of dispersion after a loud impact.
Another old man spat out a mouthful of blood to form an enormous attack character.
Boom!
Another god appeared in a flash of aureate light. It wielded a mallet that it swung at Hong Yitang.
The current ministers watched behind the five old men. Having lost his father, the minister of the Judiciary watched with a mottled face of anger. His eyes narrowed purposefully as he suddenly spat out blood into the air and howled, âI request the ancient gods to possess me!â
A black shadow appeared over his body while a battle blade manifested in front of him. It swiftly melded into his body, skyrocketing his internal presence and raising it to an extreme. It was like he was the incarnation of a divine spirit in this world!
âA weapon soulâs become part of him,â Yuan Shuo grunted. âAnd one from a premier weapon at that. An ancient intent will mark his movements after this, be careful!â
He was very knowledgeable, but sometimes pure knowledge was useless. Yuan Shuo had heard of such matters and read about them, but someone else was using it in front of his eyes. Heâd thought it long lost!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Monster spirits killed back in the day were so strong that even though itâd been countless years since their deaths, those that had been made into weapon souls were still incredibly powerful. Melding a weapon soul into oneâs body would instantly raise oneâs battle strength to unfathomable heights.
A domineering presence swept through the scene. The old inspector general frowned slightly and looked at those standing in front of them. His frown deepened as he watched Li Hao and the others charge unceasingly, as if they didnât care about the latest development.
âA weapon soul possession will lead to grave losses on both sides,â he felt compelled to remind. âThis is not a technique that we should easily use. Everyone, we can sit down to discuss things or deliberate about anything untoward. Is there a need for this...â
âKill!â Li Hao burned with rage and ignored the old inspector general. He thrust his sword through the air. Although he no longer commanded sword auras, the longsword itself was ferocious and pierced through a god with one stroke.
The old men were alarmed by this and one of them rasped, âLi Hao, do you guys think that this is all there is to the nine ministries? Ole Hu was careless and allowed you to take the upper hand. Do you think that youâll win??â
The old man snorted and roared, âI request the divine weapon to descend!â
He vomited blood as peculiar ripples undulated in all directions. A longsword broke through the air from the cityâthere seemed to be a peerless shadow floating over it! Sword intent shook the world!
This was a figure akin to a sword immortal, but a shadow instead of a real person. It had been the personal sword of an ultimate powerhouse in the ancient civilization. Its sword intent was unabated after all these years and it shot unerringly toward its target in the north!
Sky Swordâs eyes widened and he flung his broadsword at the weapon!
Clang!
The broadsword fell out of the sky and the sound of flowing streams sounded in everyoneâs ears. Rivers babbled as creeks flowed. Li Haoâs eyes widened as well.
âThe Streamflow Sword Method!â Heâd vaguely guessed at who the sword belonged toâone of the writers of the Fundamentals of Sword Theory that he had a copy of. Heâd once read about their description of sword daoâthe sword as the river, starting off weak, then building strong. It was the sword method by that Headmaster Chen!
Granted, Li Hao wasnât certain if the writer was Headmaster Chen himself, a disciple, or someone else, but the sword method should be the same. This was one of the stronger sword methods in the ancient civilization, so whoever had used this sword back in the day was very strong!
Stellaris suddenly trembled in Li Haoâs hand. It had only been partially unsealed due to stimulus from his bloodline, but now it broke free of Li Haoâs grasp and shot forward! An indomitable sword intent flared from itâto sever the self!
Li Hao sensed that strokeâs sword intent once more, an unimaginably strong presence heralding a flood of sword energy.
BOOM!
It shot unerringly toward its target in the south!
The Streamflow Sword traveling northward met the Sever Self Stroke shooting southward. Both swords crashed against each other in the air, with the old manâs Streamflow Sword immediately showing signs of defeat.
âSword intent from the Eternal Sword Sovereign?â murmured an old man who seemed to know a lot. The little sword that Li Haoâs blood had activated seemed to be different from before. His expression shifted drastically as he spat out a mouthful of blood. âI request the weapon of suppression to manifest!â
BOOM!
A spear hurtled through the air from Skystar City, racing out of the Ministry of Armed Forces!
Hou Xiaochen frowned at the sight and raised the Flaming Phoenix Spear. A phoenix split through the air and dove the spear. A faint spear intent blossomed from the spear, like a peerless king of the spear was forming. The fiery phoenix keened.
Meanwhile, Yao Si shook the world with his punch!
âWe request the manifestation of the divine weapon!â yelled the three remaining old men.
The old inspector general gasped with horror and grit his teeth. âAre you all crazy?! You know what the consequences are if all five weapons are summoned!â
âWhich side are you on, Old Chen??â roared one of the old men. âItâs them who give no quarter! In that case, they can try this on for size! This is Skystar, not Silver Moon!â
Three weapons materialized within the city, all incredibly dominating and shaking the world with their presences. One blade, one ax, and one that seemed like a whip could be seen. At the same time, a massive dragon head seemed to probe out of the void. Someone shouted within the city and a godlike figure from the Ministry of Administration manifested in the air. He held a book and brought it down on the dragon head!
A powerhouse of the Ministry of Administration! That ministry had only produced one metamorphosis expert thus far. It now showed a greater trump card, one that aimed a blow at the place.
