Chapter 867: Chapter 452 Completely Annihilated, the Stunned Crowd of Mighty Ones_2

Xie Tianheng instantly swelled with pride. That old man had always acted so arrogantly in the Spiritual Realm, looking down upon him as a son-in-law. Now, did he finally realize how formidable his son-in-law was?

“However, my strength is still lacking a bit, although I’ve already broken through to the Truth Refinement Realm, in the True King Heavenly Venerable tier, I’m hardly top-notch,” Xie Tianheng sighed.

Even though his Sword Dao was powerful and he had comprehended Sword Intent, even to the extent of cultivating a Sword Arts Divine Skill, with all that, he could just barely compare to the battle power of someone in the late stages of the True King Heavenly Venerable tier.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was considered a mighty figure within the True King Heavenly Venerable tier, and somewhat famous, yet for the ever-ambitious Xie Tianheng, it was still not enough.

“I’m still too far from becoming an Immortal Heavenly Venerable. I’m only at the early stage of the Truth Refinement Realm. It will probably take me a hundred years to break through to the Immortal Heavenly Venerable.”

At this moment, Xie Tianheng thought of pills.

“If I could have the aid of pills, my breakthrough would surely come much faster.”

He was somewhat tempted, wondering whether he should return to the Qinghua state for a visit?

Suddenly, a faint sound of a sword’s cry arose, and Xie Tianheng immediately became overjoyed.

“Lingfeng has made a breakthrough?”

Looking toward the location of the sword’s cry, a sword light flew out from the seclusion courtyard, with a faintly visible physiognomy. The physiognomy was like a surging wave of swords, with a hint of murderous intent emerging and fading.

Then, the physiognomy vanished, revealing the figure of Xie Lingfeng.

Xie Lingfeng had finally broken through to the Physiognomy Realm.

“Lingfeng, now that you’ve broken through, let’s find a place and have a sparring match,” Xie Tianheng suggested.

On Yuntian Island, or rather, in the entire Azure Sea Sphere, the only one who could enter his eyes on the path of Sword Dao was his son, Xie Lingfeng.

In the entire Azure Sea Sphere, nobody else but the two of them, father and son, were considered Sword Dao Martial Artists.

Xie Lingfeng glanced at his father and after a moment of silence, said, “Dad, there’s no need. You’re no match for me!”

Xie Tianheng’s face darkened.

“Do you really think I’m like those useless Sword Dao Martial Artists? Do you think you can beat me?”

Xie Lingfeng’s mouth twitched slightly; his father really was a bit too proud, “When I broke through to Divine Skills, I spawned three Divine Skills. Now that I’ve broken through to the Physiognomy Realm, my strength has increased substantially; give up, Dad, you’re simply not my opponent.

“Now my Martial Arts have completely transitioned to the Great Wilderness Martial Arts. Within the same sphere, how can you possibly contend?

“In terms of comprehension of Sword Dao, Sword Intent, Divine Skills, you’re no match for me!”

Xie Tianheng opened his mouth but suddenly couldn’t find the words to reply.

…

The Immortal Heavenly Venerable powerhouses of Yuntian Island rapidly headed towards the location of the Realm Gate. However, before they could even get close, they saw that the small island where the Realm Gate was located had already disappeared, the gate itself suspended in the sea.

The great battle had already concluded!

Such a massive battle ended in less than fifteen minutes?

What exactly had happened?

The powerhouses were filled with doubt, and then thought of Gao Xueming, who had been stationed at the Realm Gate.

“Where’s Gao Xueming?”

“Where is he?”

The powerhouses suddenly realized, on a small island, Gao Xueming stood somewhat dazedly, as if he had seen something terribly frightening.

This was an Immortal Heavenly Venerable they were talking about!

And on the island, all the True King Heavenly Venerable who had been stationed with him at the Realm Gate, were all unconscious.

“Gao Xueming, what happened?”

An elder, holding an Azure Staff and exuding a powerful aura with a ruddy complexion, spoke in a deep voice.

The elder was the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe, with extremely formidable strength, one of the few most potent individuals in the Azure Sea Sphere.

Gao Xueming took a deep breath, came to his senses, looked at the Immortal Heavenly Venerables gathered around, and said in a grave voice, “A fearsome one has come to the Azure Sea Sphere, someone we absolutely must not offend. Their strength is so immense, I fear that even if all the Immortal Realm strong ones in the Azure Sea Sphere were to join forces, we wouldn’t be a match for them!”

This statement shocked all the powerhouses.

“A figure more powerful than the Immortal Realm? Impossible! Such powerhouses would not descend lightly, and if they did, we would surely know of it,” said an Immortal Heavenly Venerable, shaking his head.

“It’s not necessarily someone above the Immortal Realm, but their strength… it completely crushes the Immortal Realm,” sighed Gao Xueming.

“Tell us, what happened?” inquired the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe, brow furrowed.

“Well, it’s quite simple to explain…”

Gao Xueming recounted the events in brief.

However, he did not mention that he had willingly cooperated with the other party, yielding the territory of the Realm Gate. Instead, he suggested he was forced by the other party to render unconscious these True King Heavenly Venerables and retreat to this place.

The members of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow had all been obliterated, and the one he owed a favor to had perished too; now, with no one left to verify, wasn’t it his word that mattered?

Even if the truth were revealed, so what?

He simply owed someone a life-saving favor, and with that as his repayment, they were even—hardly a significant matter.

After all, the one ambushed was incredibly strong, having annihilated all of his assailants.

The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe and others listened, all of them utterly shocked.

“Twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables joined forces, and they were annihilated in less than half a quarter of an hour?”

The strong characters all wore expressions of disbelief.

“Yes!”

Gao Xueming nodded.

“The opponent looked young, I even suspect he’s not that old, not some ancient monster!”

He chuckled bitterly—one glance from the opponent had rendered him completely immobile with fear!

“Are you sure they were twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables?”

A powerful character couldn’t help but ask.

“Could there be any mistake?”

Gao Xueming spoke solemnly.

Everyone fell silent.

Their hearts trembled slightly—twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables, adept in Combined Assault Techniques, and using a Divine Artifact that could solidify the domain, yet they were killed in less than a quarter of an hour?

“Let’s go, take a look at the battlefield!”

The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe said in a deep voice.

Outside the Realm Gate, in the sea area, the war had already subsided, and the small island had vanished without a trace. But standing where the battlefield was, in the sea, the crowd still couldn’t help but shift their expressions.

Thin, fierce energy still lingered between heaven and earth.

Being in its midst, there was a sense of impending annihilation.

“What kind of method is this!”

An Immortal Heavenly Venerable murmured in horror.

Even with their strength in the Immortal Realm, they felt a sense of annihilation. If a Martial Artist in the Divine Refinement Realm stepped onto the battlefield, they would likely be killed in an instant by the residual energy!

Such terrifying murderous intent was beyond what these Immortal Heavenly Venerables could achieve!

Although the murderous intent of the battlefield was slowly dissipating, the fact that it could linger for so long after the battle and still have such destructive power showed that the strength of the one who had made a move was beyond their match.

Xu Yan had merely used the Ten Directions Annihilation Sword and did not utilize the Imperishable Sword Intent—otherwise, the Sword Intent here would not have disappeared and would have become a holy land of enlightenment for Sword Dao Martial Artists.

“We must not provoke this person; I hope he means no harm,”

The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe sighed.

Looking at Gao Xueming, he said, “Since you have seen him, project his image for us to avoid offending him by accident!”

The other Immortal Heavenly Venerables nodded in agreement.

Such a terrifying person must be approached with great caution and not be offended at all costs.

Gao Xueming raised his hand and drew across the air, with the Domain Power coalescing to form an image of Xu Yan. Although it could only replicate about seventy to eighty percent of his likeness, it would allow them to recognize him and avoid offense.

After memorizing the appearance, the powerful characters began to discuss how to deal with the aftermath.

The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Tribe grabbed, and a small island in the distance was moved over, placed beneath the Realm Gate, so that the gate remained upon a small island.

After leaving one of them to guard the Realm Gate, Gao Xueming returned to Yuntian Island with the rest. As for those True King Heavenly Venerables who had been knocked out, they were woken up to continue guarding the Realm Gate.

These True King Heavenly Venerables were all confused—how had the island changed while they slept?

However, it was clear to them that something must have happened; otherwise, what could cause such powerful beings as themselves to remain unconscious?

But these matters were too profound, not something these weaker characters could comprehend.

And Xu Yan, after slaying the attackers of the Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, set off for Yuntian Island. However, not being familiar with the Azure Sea Sphere, he strayed somewhat from the correct direction.

Navigating the choppy seas, Xu Yan took out a Flying Boat and sailed through the waters, sitting on the boat and gazing out at the vast ocean.

“With Brother Xie’s talent, he should be about to break through to the Physiognomy Realm, right?”

Xu Yan thought to himself.

Xie Lingfeng had impressive talent and with his rate of cultivation and the early-stage assistance of pills, he should be close to breaking through to the Physiognomy Realm.

“Once Brother Xie breaks through the Physiognomy Realm, he won’t be considered weak among the True King Heavenly Venerables.”

Having gauged Xie Lingfeng’s strength, Xu Yan had a measure in his mind.

“I wonder how many Divine Skills Brother Xie has developed?”

Xu Yan was curious.

“Eh?”

Suddenly, Xu Yan looked surprised and turned his attention towards a desolate island in the distance.
