Legend of Swordsman

Without the threat of the God-destroying War Soldiers, they initially planned to assist others, but Jian Wushuang stopped them, telling them to stand back and watch from afar.

Jian Wushuang was about to make his move.

On the main battlefield, the ten Great Immortal Formations clashed fiercely with the ten top Dao Lords, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

An hour passed, and neither side suffered any injuries.

This was quite absurd.

There was no helping it—those Dao Lords were not burning their Immortal Power; they were merely defending.

If they encountered weaker opponents, they would defend without engaging, unwilling to waste their Immortal Power.

Most of them were just here to reap the benefits; none were willing to burn their Immortal Power and risk their lives.

Once Immortal Power started burning, it could become addictive. If more than half of it was consumed, it could easily damage the foundation of their Origin Source, and achieving harmony in the future would be out of the question.

Even though they followed the God Eye path and weren’t afraid of burning it, they still took great care to protect their Origin Source.

After all, this was the only path to becoming an Emperor.

Even the weakest of Emperors was still an Emperor!

Although the Emperors of the Holy Land were powerful, after so many years, there were only four Emperors in total.

Their power was immense, but the chances of successfully achieving harmony were ridiculously low.

More and more Dao Lords were unwilling to pursue such a perilous path to its bitter end.

The downfall of the Holy Land’s Daoist tradition was near, though it wouldn’t be completely eradicated.

Even if it didn’t become mainstream, it would remain a unique path.

A path comparable to the Ultimate Way.

Moreover, compared to the Ultimate Way, the God Eye secret technique was quite decent.

It wasn’t as difficult as the Ultimate Way, yet its combat strength was nearly equivalent.

Its only drawback was that the upper limit wasn’t as high as the Ultimate Way.

The mindset of these Dao Lords reflected the reality of the entire Ancient Domain.

At this moment, they were all attacking Twin-Faced God Mountain together, showing no regard for the face of the Holy Land. This spoke volumes.

Even the City Lord of Tiantan, who also hailed from the Holy Land, was the same.

One could imagine that the Holy Land was already unstable internally.

For a faction to grow, it required a strong core.

What use was the strength of the top powerhouses if they didn’t belong to oneself?

Currently, the core strength of the Holy Land was still the Dao Lords, while in the Ancient Court, the Emperors were no longer considered top combat power. The top combat power was the Lord of the Ancient Court, while the other Emperors had become part of the core strength.

Who wouldn’t want to become an Emperor?

This siege of Twin-Faced God Mountain was a clear attitude—there was even a chance some were using this as an opportunity to defect.

The reason they were willing to take this risk was precisely because of that.

It was, after all, Rain-Transcending Heavenly Lord’s idea, but now that he had fallen, many sighed, and their will to fight had waned.

Despite Yang Dingtian’s immense strength.

Just when the Dao Lords in the allied forces began to falter in their resolve, a powerful surge of energy suddenly reinvigorated them, providing a huge boost to their morale.

Suddenly, a figure within the Five Immortal Formation changed its appearance, transforming from an old man into a young face.

His body also shifted. From using talisman techniques, he instantly switched to a decisive sword formation.

“Kill!”

With just that single word, killing intent swept across the entire battlefield.

But this was the Five Immortal Formation, a force from Shuangmian Divine Mountain, so why did it excite the coalition army?

It was because this formation suddenly drew out a divine sword eight hundred zhang long and instantly shattered another nearby Five Immortal Formation.

One sword obliterated a formation comparable to a top-tier Daoist Lord.

“This… this is one of us!”

Someone among the coalition army shouted, and the others quickly realized.

With one less Five Immortal Formation, the tide of battle shifted rapidly. The powerful figures of Shuangmian Divine Mountain began to fall one after another.

The top-tier Daoist Lord who had been dealing with the Five Immortal Formation manipulated by Jian Wushuang now began assisting other Daoist Lords.

Jian Wushuang did the same. Although his first sword strike had been mighty, he then maintained his power at a relatively normal level, comparable to a Rain-True Immortal but stronger than an ordinary Five Immortal Formation.

The True Immortals inside the formations were now utterly confused, rendered useless.

Jian Wushuang had successfully turned these forces to his side, though they themselves probably didn’t even know what had just happened.

Jian Wushuang had no intention of explaining. He teamed up with a Daoist Lord from the coalition army to help another Daoist Lord fight the Five Immortal Formation.

With each Five Immortal Formation that broke, hundreds of True Immortals were slaughtered.

What had once been an evenly matched battle shifted to a one-sided massacre in the span of just a few breaths.

On Yang Dingtian’s side, they hadn’t even noticed this change, while the three silver puppets remained indifferent.

The two sides continued to fight fiercely.

Originally, Shuangmian Buddha had intended for a quick victory, but the longer the battle dragged on, the harder it became.

From initially suppressing Yang Dingtian, the battle had now evened out in just a few breaths.

In other words, in those few breaths, Yang Dingtian’s divine power had increased significantly.

“His divine power has surpassed six thousand!”

One of the silver puppets exclaimed in shock after being pushed back by Yang Dingtian.

They couldn’t stop him anymore.

Sensing that something was wrong, the Destroyer War Weapon began retreating.

At the same time, Guardian Yunhai, who was controlling the Destroyer War Weapon, noticed the Five Immortal Sword Formation, which had turned against them and was now slaughtering everything in its path.

“This is definitely Jian Wushuang’s doing. What is he up to?”

At this point, Guardian Qifeng, Guardian Yunhai, and Xue He Ancestor were all at a loss.

Jian Wushuang was helping both sides, like a disruptive force in the battle.

They simply couldn’t figure out what Jian Wushuang’s intentions were.

If he was targeting the otherworldly invaders, he should have gone after Shuangmian Buddha!

But instead, Jian Wushuang had drawn them into killing Rain-True Lord, causing Yang Dingtian to erupt in power.

Then, after Yang Dingtian’s outburst, Jian Wushuang used a Five Immortal Formation to begin crushing Shuangmian Divine Mountain’s experts.

Others might not understand, but those three certainly couldn’t make sense of it.

“Stop overthinking it. We’re in this together now. We just killed Yang Dingtian’s lover and betrayed the Palace Master. If we don’t follow Jian Wushuang wholeheartedly, there’s no way we’ll survive in this world!” Guardian Qifeng, the most perceptive of the three, remarked.

He knew they had no choice but to follow this path, at least Jian Wushuang wasn’t as ruthless as Shuangmian Buddha. They still had a chance of survival.

“Do you think if we switch sides now, Yang Dingtian will spare us?”

“Ask Jian Wushuang!”

“Good idea!”

Guardian Yunhai sent a mental transmission to Jian Wushuang, asking what their next step should be.

Jian Wushuang, who was fighting alongside the coalition army’s Daoist Lords with great satisfaction, responded to Yunhai’s question directly: “Return to Shuangmian Divine Mountain. Shuangmian Buddha is nothing but a paper tiger now. Don’t worry, just wait for Yang Dingtian to break through!”

“Got it!”

Receiving the confirmation, Guardian Yunhai immediately controlled the Destroyer War Weapon to retreat.

Shuangmian Buddha, who had been watching the battle all this time, furrowed his brow slightly.

He wasn’t surprised by Yunhai’s actions, not because he understood Guardian Yunhai, but because the Destroyer War Weapon wasn’t useful at this point.

If Yang Dingtian somehow got his hands on it, the consequences would be disastrous.

After all, the Destroyer War Weapon didn’t require a master. Its internal structure was complex, yet its operation was simple.

If Yang Dingtian controlled it on his own, he could probably rival an Emperor.

Currently, Yang Dingtian’s combat strength was far below the level of an Emperor, not even matching the weakest of them.
