Just how powerful was All Things Become Swords? One could glimpse it from the thousand annihilated battlefield phantoms.
Jun Changxiao himself was also quite surprised.
Before breaking through, he had always been stuck at the level of Ten Thousand Swords Return to One. Only after consuming the Sword Dao Aptitude Liquid and breaking through to Sword Saint did he gain understanding of the second form, All Things Become Swords. He hadn’t expected that when executed, the crowd-killing effect would be so explosive!
“This is interesting!”
Jun Changxiao’s gaze burned with intensity. The sword momentum within his body spread again, permeating toward even more distant areas.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Stones, trees, and clumps of earth were enveloped, automatically floating up and flying over, then suspended behind him like invincible sharp swords!
“Here it comes again!”
Everyone cried out in shock.
This kind of powerful sword technique should consume enormous amounts of energy, yet he could execute it twice in succession!
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Ten thousand swords flew together, their radiance illuminating heaven and earth!
“Ding! Ding! Ding!”
“Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!”
After a wild barrage of attacks, over a hundred Earth-rank battlefield phantoms were pierced through, then lost consciousness and fell.
“…”
The spectating warriors’ faces were expressionless.
At this moment, they really had no reaction left to complement Jun Changxiao’s overwhelming slaughter!
After annihilating a Yellow-rank battlefield phantom, Ye Xingchen turned to look at the Sect Master standing sharp as a blade, thinking to himself, “If he steps into Emperor level, he should be able to shatter the void!”
Throughout history, experts from the Xingyun Continent who shattered the void were extremely rare. Even in his previous life, Night Emperor hadn’t achieved it. For him to evaluate Jun Changxiao this way showed how truly powerful Jun Changxiao was!
“Swoosh!”
Sword-light flashed again, as if piercing through heaven and earth.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
One battlefield phantom after another, regardless of how high their rank, were all harvested like lowly weeds, then fell with severed heads and limbs.
What had originally been a battle for the entire Eternal Ancient Sect, after Jun Changxiao’s outbreak, completely became his solo performance stage.
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others did their best to cooperate—some widening their eyes, some opening their mouths, their gazes showing mindless worship of their Sect Master!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Stimulated deeply by Jun Changxiao, the Purple Scale Demon King’s vast demonic energy erupted as he engaged in unprecedentedly fierce combat with a Heaven-rank battlefield phantom.
If that guy was so domineering, how could he himself fall behind!
“Kill!”
“Kill!”
After a brief moment, Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others exited spectator mode, brandishing their respective weapons and techniques to kill the battlefield phantoms!
At this moment.
Though the Eternal Ancient Sect had few in number, their momentum had seized the upper hand!
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Various techniques erupted in midair, battlefield phantoms falling one after another.
“Too monstrous!”
“Too abnormal!”
The spectating warriors who witnessed everything were completely shocked.
In their eyes, everyone in the Eternal Ancient Sect had departed from the category of human and all transformed into demons!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Just then, Li Qingyang, surrounded on four sides, was blasted down by over a dozen Profound-rank battlefield phantoms working together. After steadying himself, he immediately spat blood.
With all his equipment bonuses, he should have been completely fine, but unfortunately his spiritual energy consumption was severe. In the end, he still showed signs of exhaustion under the group assault.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Over twenty Yellow-rank battlefield phantoms pressed down from left and right!
With Li Qingyang’s current injuries, he had essentially lost all combat ability. If fellow sect members didn’t provide timely assistance, he would definitely die in battle.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Various energies pressed down from above.
“Finally, an Eternal Ancient Sect disciple is about to die in battle!”
Regarding this situation, the spectating planar warriors felt it was very normal.
They thought the same as some readers—a few dozen people fighting several thousand, if there were no casualties, that would be absurd, or there was some kind of dirty deal involved!
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The various forces pressing down blew apart Li Qingyang’s black hair, his slightly pale face bearing a smile.
“He’s smiling?” The planar warriors were astonished.
“Swish!”
Just then, Li Qingyang waved his left hand. Between two fingers, a pill appeared from thin air. He unhesitatingly tossed it into his mouth. His originally damaged meridians instantly recovered, and the spiritual energy within his spirit core also reached a full state!
“Sizzle—”
With spiritual energy augmenting him again, the Heaven-Slaying Thunder Marks flashed with lightning once more!
“This…”
The planar warriors gaped in stupefaction.
The Eternal Ancient Sect disciple was clearly severely wounded, clearly had lost combat ability—why did he suddenly seem to recover, and could even erupt with vigorous fighting spirit!
“Swoosh—”
Li Qingyang rose and flew forth. The Heaven-Slaying Thunder Marks tore through space, forming arc-spraying sword radiance that domineeringly shattered various energies, then completely harvested the battlefield phantoms on both sides!
“Not human!”
“Definitely not human!”
The planar warriors’ faces all showed expressions of disbelief.
When severely wounded, suddenly activating hidden potential—this situation could be understood!
But Li Qingyang’s ruddy complexion and clean, efficient movements were absolutely not activating hidden potential. It was completely… perfectly fine!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The battle continued, the intensity still escalating!
Though Li Fei, Tian Qi, and the others had equipment bonuses, they didn’t have inexhaustible spiritual energy. After being worn down, they all sustained injuries one after another. But after consuming healing pills, they returned to full condition and fought again!
In terms of numbers, the Eternal Ancient Sect had no advantage.
However, they were all equipped with Superior Healing Pills!
This item could not only instantly heal from near-death, it could also restore depleted spiritual energy—essentially equivalent to two lives!
Dying in battle was normal.
However, before entering the planar battlefield, Jun Changxiao had prepared in advance.
Unless the situation was extremely dire and irreversible, making Eternal Ancient Sect disciples die was impossible!
Of course.
Superior Healing Pills weren’t invincible—they could only be effectively consumed once per day.
So disciples who had already taken one still faced the possibility of death, but probably wouldn’t reach that point.
Because Jun Changxiao, to eliminate this possibility, fully erupted his sword and martial power. His two weapons transformed like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, madly harvesting battlefield phantoms. The number reduced was calculated in hundreds!
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”
Overwhelming sword intent erupted in midair, tearing through space to kill!
One battlefield phantom after another couldn’t even symbolically resist before shattering into fragments and falling.
About half a moment later.
Outside the Lingyuan Continent outpost, the scattered corpses had already reached over four thousand. The heaviest casualties were among the Profound and Earth ranks.
The other Heaven-rank battlefield phantom was tied down by the Purple Scale Demon King. With the core forces killed to scattered remnants by Jun Changxiao, though several hundred Yellow-ranks remained, they could no longer pose any substantive threat to the Eternal Ancient Sect disciples.
Every disciple was his precious treasure—naturally he wouldn’t allow casualties to occur.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao sheathed his sword, standing in midair.
He had eliminated most of the threatening battlefield phantoms. What remained would naturally be left for his disciples to practice combat thoroughly.
Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others didn’t disappoint him. Various energies frantically circulated as they fought brilliantly.
“Boom!”
Just then, the Purple Scale Demon King was blasted away by the Heaven-rank battlefield phantom. After awkwardly steadying himself, he turned and roared at Jun Changxiao, “Why aren’t you helping!”
With his current strength, he could barely hold on.
“Swoosh—”
Jun Changxiao flew over at extreme speed, the True Yang Sword and Dragon Fang Blade appearing once more!
Without relying on various weapons and equipment bonuses, even Dog Sheng would find it difficult to resolve a Heaven-rank battlefield phantom with just his fists. After all, it was at least comparable to a Martial Saint Great Perfection!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Blade-light and sword-light erupted, filling half the firmament.
Under absolute equipment suppression, though the battlefield phantom resisted many moves, in the end its armor was still shattered, crumbling in midair like its previous companion.
With the fall of the two Heaven-rank battlefield phantoms, this Upper Realm punishment was basically declared over. The remaining Yellow-ranks would inevitably be slowly worn down to death by the Eternal Ancient Sect disciples.
“Valley Master!”
Inside the outpost, an elder’s hands trembled. “Sect Master Jun and his disciples are too terrifying!”
“…”
Ke Jinnan fell silent.
His entire person was still in a state of extreme shock.
When five thousand battlefield phantoms appeared, he had already despaired, even prepared to die in battle.
But when Jun Changxiao brought people to rescue, when nearly ninety percent of the enemies were eliminated, only then did he realize that both he and the outpost had weathered the crisis!
Great favor!
Absolute great favor!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The battle outside the outpost continued!
It lasted for half a quarter-hour. Ye Xingchen annihilated the last battlefield phantom, officially bringing down the curtain on this medium-scale skirmish.
“Ding! Congratulations Host on completing hidden mission [Share Weal and Woe], reward 20,000 contribution points.”
“Ding! Sect contribution points: 90,000/70,000.”
“Ding! Contribution points overflow…”
“Ding! Congratulations Host on completing hidden mission [Share Weal and Woe], triggered hidden reward, obtained Intermediate Thick Earth Technique ×1, Experience Talisman ×2.”
After hearing the notification, Jun Changxiao immediately rolled his eyes. “I thought the hidden mission was forcibly cancelled. Turns out it still exists!”
The last hidden mission was helping Xi Jingxuan restore her sight. Now another appeared—nearly two hundred chapters apart!
