One Trait Draw Per Year Even Simulations Count

[The good news was, the villains were getting cocky because they had too much of an advantage.]

[A group of Dragon Saint-level Dragon-Man generals saw the Sword Lord about to attack the Eight Directions Immortal Imprisonment Formation and tried to kill him, but the Cunning Heaven Venerable called them off.]

[”Stop! Let him attack! I want to see how a mere Saint-level cultivator can break a formation set up by eight of our Dragon-Man Earth Venerables working together!”]

Na Heaven Venerable smiled seductively.

”Several Earth Venerables, if a single person breaks your formation, that would be quite the joke, hehehe...”

The eight Earth Venerables naturally sneered dismissively, completely unconcerned.

They were all currently in the Dragon God realm state.

Eight God-level fighters joining forces—how could they fear a Saint-level?

It would be too shameful if word got out!

One Earth Venerable even declared on the spot,”Let him try! If that broken sword of his can split this formation, I’ll eat my own shit!”

The Sword Lord’s gaze swept across his surroundings.

The enemies had actually backed off.

Looking at the formation, where the massive Formless creature was constantly slaughtering and allied troops were falling one after another, the Sword Lord knew he had to break the formation to let everyone escape.

Otherwise, the entire army would be wiped out!

At that moment, the aura around the Sword Lord began to condense, converge, and accumulate.

He stood there, yet it seemed like no one was there at all.

He was suppressing all his power, like a spring, compressing to the extreme in exchange for the most powerful rebound!

”Slash!”

There was no earth-shattering commotion, only a low shout and a sword strike so fast no one could see it clearly.

”Clang!!”

The Sword Lord’s strike collided with the formation, sending ripples of energy spreading across heaven and earth.

A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of the Sword Lord’s mouth.

The Eight Directions Immortal Imprisonment Formation remained utterly unmoved!

”Hahaha!! How utterly delusional!”

”Now he should finally face reality!”

”Such a tiny ant, trying to shake a mighty tree!”

Inside the formation, everyone watched the Sword Lord struggling outside.

Long Yang, Li Chengqian, and the others who hadn’t listened to the Sword Lord’s advice were now filled with regret.

Li Chengqian, the ”former emperor,” was even slapping himself.

”It’s all my foolish fault! If only I had listened to the Sword Lord and waited a few more days, our army wouldn’t be in this deadly trap!”

Long Yang also sighed, looking pale at the terrifying monster chasing and slaughtering the soldiers not far away.

”It’s too late to say anything now...”

You were also trying, attempting to break the formation from the inside.

Looking at the injured Sword Lord, you said,

”Sword Lord, leave.”

The Sword Lord shook his head and raised his sword again.

A second strike!

It was even more powerful; everyone inside the formation felt the earth shake and the mountains tremble.

Yet the formation still remained unharmed!

A third strike!

A fourth strike!

A fifth strike!

The...

The Sword Lord poured all his effort into it, using everything he had ever learned, exhausting every treasure in his Storage Ring.

However, he was ultimately just one person.

The gap was too great.

”Sword Lord! Stop trying! Leave!”

Li Chengqian and the others shouted at the Sword Lord, hoping he would survive.

You didn’t say anything more.

Because you knew, once the Sword Lord decided something, he would fight to the very end.

The Sword Lord’s hand was trembling; blood dripped from the hilt, along the blade, falling from the air.

All the Dragon-Man soldiers were watching his humiliation.

The Heaven Venerables and Earth Venerables were especially overjoyed, treating this scene as the greatest amusement they’d had after years of setbacks in the human world.

But.

Suddenly!

The expression of the leading Heaven Venerable, Frigid Heaven Venerable, changed.

”Something’s not right...”

Na Heaven Venerable and Cunning Heaven Venerable didn’t notice anything.

”What’s wrong?”

”This swordsman has a dangerous aura about him...”

”Where? Just a mere Saint-level, knows a bit of what they call the ’Way of the Sword’ in the human world.”

”No, I’ve felt this aura somewhere before, but I can’t remember where! Damn it! All because of that horse, my soul is all messed up!”

”Really?”

As they spoke, a certain change was indeed happening to the Sword Lord.

You clearly saw that the Sword Lord’s eyes had no pupils, only white sclera, and they rapidly switched to a mysterious, colorless state.

It wasn’t truly colorless; it looked more like a void, a stretch of the universe!

”What’s wrong with the Sword Lord?”

Before you could finish speaking, you were astonished to find that space around the Sword Lord was beginning to collapse!

”Crack, crack, crack...”

Heaven and earth were like an unstable mirror, shattering!

However, due to the world’s rules, the larger the area destroyed, the greater the power of restoration, but overall, the collapsing space was still expanding.

Strangely, in these broken places, many flickering lights and shadows appeared.

The scenes formed by these lights and shadows included the Sword Lord’s just-struck attack, as well as things that hadn’t happened yet.

The three Heaven Venerables were shocked and hurriedly made a move.

But it was too late.

They rushed toward the Sword Lord, only to suddenly appear somewhere else.

For a split second, there were even multiple identical Heaven Venerables!

Frigid Heaven Venerable finally remembered.

”Divine Abilities!! He comprehended a Divine Ability in the Void Realm?! He’s in the Qi Transformation realm, just like us! How is that possible!”

Cunning Heaven Venerable was drenched in cold sweat, his lips trembling with fear.

”The Void Realm can’t withstand the power of Divine Abilities at all! Is he going to shatter the human world?”

Na Heaven Venerable was speechless.

”Then we’ll be finished too!”

At that moment, one of the Earth Venerables forming the Eight Directions Immortal Imprisonment Formation recalled something.

”That’s right! It’s him! When we fought at Cangqiong Ridge before, I noticed something was off about him! I never imagined he had comprehended a Divine Ability!”

Frigid Heaven Venerable cursed.

”And you didn’t say anything earlier? You idiot!”

”I... well... it’s the same with you, I couldn’t remember at first. I just wanted to watch him make a fool of himself.”

Meanwhile, a cold voice came from the Sword Lord’s mouth, like a judgment from the laws of heaven and earth.

”Reversing Yin and Yang—”

A single sword fell.

Spatial fragments surged like a tide, wildly rushing toward the Eight Directions Immortal Imprisonment Formation.

Under the power of rule-based destruction, the entire formation was utterly defenseless.

Four of the eight Earth Venerables were immediately killed by the backlash—their physical bodies dead, their souls barely escaping.

The Sword Lord’s sword had split the Eight Directions Immortal Imprisonment Formation!

”The Sword Lord succeeded!”

”We can finally escape!”

”Great, we don’t have to be eaten by that monster!”

The human world allied forces were overjoyed.

At this moment, your surprise outweighed your joy.

”Divine Ability?”

You weren’t unfamiliar with this term.

You had seen it in the trait tag effects.

That meant, at a cultivation stage where he shouldn’t have possessed a Divine Ability, and even in the Void Realm, where cultivators shouldn’t have been able to possess one, the Sword Lord, pushed into a corner, had suddenly comprehended a Divine Ability!
