Legend of Swordsman

Chapter 5317 - 5317: Six-Armed Heavenly Demon

The two of them were extremely powerful. Even in the outside world, they were still in the top 1,000 Grand Yan Immortals.

In the Four Great Secret Realms, the two of them were comparable to Emperors. In the outside world, they also had the battle prowess of half-step Emperors.

Back then, there were only a few half- step Emperors on the Universe Deity-Demon List. There were around 200 of them, and they were all Ultimate Dao cultivators.

Now, because of the treasures in the Qishen Temple, most of the second- grade origin source Dao experts had become half- step Emperors.

According to his speculations, there were now over 1,000 half- step Emperors.

The entire Original Universe, vast and boundless, is much larger than the Four Great Secret Realms of the Qishen Temple combined. Despite its immense size, only a limited number of formidable individuals emerged.

Within the Heave Secret Realms, the Dao Lords of the Northern Region alone were probably more powerful than those in the outside world.

The emphasis here lies not in quantity but in quality.

The Sword Leader of the Shangqing Palace, even in the external realms, could likely secure a spot in the top 100. His strength was comparable to the imitation Eternal Treasure-wielding Wan Xing, or perhaps even more formidable.

Regardless of the opponent’s strength, a single sword could shatter it. This kind of momentum rivaled the power of emperors in the external realms.

In the current Original Planet, finding someone stronger than him was likely a rare occurrence.

Although the Shangqing Palace held great prestige, in terms of overall strength, there were still quite a few ancient sects in the Northern Region that surpassed it, with some even far exceeding its might.

In the Frigid City of the Northern Region, true dominion lay. Once engaged in numerous battles with the White Tiger Hall, it was eventually subdued. Despite keeping a low profile afterward, the White Tiger Temple couldn’t even establish a foothold in the depths of the Northern Region’s Frigid City.

This was a symbol of true strength.

There were many similar sects; the Tianmo Sect was no weaker than the Shangqing Palace. In fact, their strengths were comparable, with the Tianmo Sect even surpassing the Shangqing Palace in terms of inheritance.

The Shangqing Palace was founded by the Ancestor of Shangqing and rose during the era of the Four Great Secret Realms.

On the other hand, the Tianmo Sect rose during the Qishen era. At that time, the Tianmo Sect was even stronger than the Frigid City in the Northern Region. The progenitor of the Tianmo Sect was a notorious Hevaenly Demon with unparalleled strength, and naturally, their inheritance was formidable.

Unfortunately, he was eventually slain by a Divine Master.

Such figures were nothing but a menace if left in the Four Great Secret Realms.

Although he wasn’t the Devouring Demon Lord, he wasn’t much different. If he stayed, he would be a source of trouble.

Zhu Bachi had received the inheritance of the Heavenly Demon.

The demonic powerhouse was called Liuyang because, in his demonic form, he sported six arms, each palm resembling a dazzling sun. He had once engaged in a bloody battle against several tier 5 Emperors and emerged victorious. Moreover, he had defeated a peak tier 5 Emperor, and if it weren’t for someone coming to the rescue, that peak Emperor would have perished on the spot.

With such strength, even in the Shangqing Palace, he could rival the strongest of the Nine Swords.

This was a true powerhouse; if a sixth-order Emperor Lord didn’t appear, the world would belong to him.

The figure below, at this moment, exuded a similar aura.

“Haha, is this your true strength?” Zhu Baxia transformed into a six-armed heavenly demon, wielding six edgeless heavy swords, driving the Zhuifeng to retreat step by step.

The six swords attacked simultaneously, forming a single sword with six

times the power.

Zhuifeng couldn’t withstand it at all, only managing to evade using its agile movements!

“Humph!” Zhuifeng retreated hundreds of millions of miles again, vanishing into the chaotic sea of Qi, but from an external perspective, the distance between the two remained only a few miles.

Zhu Bachi’s strength was indeed beyond his imagination.

The Tai’a sword had already appeared, but it was still being suppressed.

“He’s going to lose!”

“The heavenly demon’s body is too strong, even stronger than a perfected physical body, and the divine body approaches 9,000 times.”

Many Emperors and Dao Lords in the rear commented.

The Grand Elder of the Shangqing Palace, however, remained indifferent. He knew his disciple the best; the true strength of the most powerful sword had yet to be revealed, and everything was uncertain.

The six-armed heavenly demon!

Elder Jiu Jian was somewhat surprised. He, who often led the Shangqing Palace, was well-informed about many things.

They compared the overall strength of the younger generation, the most telling factor of the rising or falling power of various sects.

Compared to previous generations, where figures like Nie Yuan emerged, or the appearance of several promising swordsmen in the same generation, this generation seemed rather ordinary.

Although the current Tai’a Sword’s Sword Leader was powerful, there was only one, and there was no one capable of contending with him.

On the other hand, Zhu Bachi was only a giant in the Tianmo Sect. He wasn’t even in the top 10. Yet, his strength was formidable. And now, with the combat power of the Tai’a Sword added.

This was problematic.

The top 10 giants were probably even more powerful than the Tai’a Sword of the Shangqing Palace.

Unlike the Tianmo Sect, which thrived in a fierce and survival-of-the-fittest environment, the Shangqing Palace focused more on refinement.

The entire Tianmo Sect was like a battlefield of demons, with the identities of powerful figures changing rapidly. Except for the Thirteen Tai’a Swords, the Shangqing Palace had no other Dao Lords to boast about.

What about the Shangqing Palace?

The Grand Yan Immortal power had not yet been cultivated. Once the thirteen

Tai’a Swords broke through to the Emperor level, there wasn’t even a person Elder Jiu Jian’s expression remained indifferent, but in his heart, he was determined.

Before the arrival of the next era, the sect’s resources would be tilted towards the Grand Yan Immortals, even extending to ordinary mortals.

This, he believed, was the foundation.

A group of useless Emperors, benefiting without contributing, amounted to nothing but waste.

Turning his gaze to the second row where the Dao Lords of the Shangqing Palace sat, he couldn’t help but feel infuriated.

Especially the tier 3 Emperors, devoid of any ambition. When they first broke through, they were full of vigor, but now, all enthusiasm had waned. Among the tier 4 Emperors, none showed promise of reaching the tier 5.

The Dao Lords of their generation were also unremarkable.

The celestial patterns in the Four Great Secret Realms would soon change, and as a result, the strength of the Shangqing Palace would gradually decline.

Survival seemed challenging even with a powerful sect leader, given the group of underachieving followers.

“Nie Yuan!” Elder Jiu Jian silently called out.

Nie Yuan, rejuvenated and no longer in a despondent state, radiated confidence. Most importantly, he had never truly abandoned his path of swordsmanship.

It was thought that he had given up, but he had concealed his strength. Now, at the peak of the tier 4, with his current momentum, the tier 5 Emperor was not far off.

Such talent should never have been expelled due to a marriage dispute, It had all resulted in this unfortunate state.

With these thoughts, Elder Jiu Jian glanced at the Grand Elder beside him, determined to bring change to the Shangqing Palace, starting from the top.

At least the stubborn hearts of these old fellows had to be removed; otherwise, the Shangqing Palace would be ruined in their generation.

The burden of responsibility would ultimately fall on the younger generation.

Observing the struggles below, Elder Jiu Jian pondered, whispering to himself,

“This time, it’s not bad to lose. We can’t let them daydream forever!”

Boom!
