The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 823: Chapter 823: War Breaks Out (Part 3)

Nowadays, Shen Mo’s proficiency in swordsmanship surpasses that of Senior Gu Song, who once left an indestructible sword Qi on Tianshan Mountain!

If he so wishes, the sword Qi he unleashes could last for millennia without being eroded by external forces. Due to its inherent spirituality, it can absorb nature’s spiritual energy from the outer realm to continually strengthen itself. Such sword Qi, in the eyes of sword cultivators below the Divine Bridge Realm, is comparable to a supreme treasure, from which they can comprehend higher sword truths.

Although his Realm does not match that of Immortal Master Cizi, he compensates for his lack of cultivation level with the Secret Technique of self-sacrifice, combined with the various blessings of Skills and Destiny, making this slaying demon sword Qi exceed the limits of what Immortal Master Cizi’s Immortal Slaying Gourd can refine!

”Pfft!”

As soon as the sword light emerged from the Immortal Slaying Gourd, it directly struck Immortal Master Cizi.

”Bang!”

”Bang bang...”

In a split second, the spirit light around Immortal Master Cizi flickered, forming layer upon layer of defensive magic in an attempt to withstand the residual power of the slaying demon sword Qi.

Having lived for over ten thousand years, he has accumulated vast resources, often collecting the remains of fallen powerful figures during the emergence of the Immortal Mansion. Naturally, he carries many protective treasures, which, sensing their master being attacked, automatically unleashed powerful energies to protect him!

Every time the slaying demon sword Qi broke through a layer of defense, its power was slightly diminished;

Yet it still shattered barrier after barrier, leaving a thin bloodline from the center of Immortal Master Cizi’s forehead down to his chest!

Since the sword Qi had been worn down significantly, it was no longer as sharp as it initially was, so the injury Immortal Master Cizi suffered wasn’t severe. He only needed to activate his cultivation method and use Healing Pills to recover. However, for Shen Mo to still manage to wound him under such circumstances shocked and angered him. Neglecting the damage to the Immortal Slaying Gourd, he prepared to summon countless sword Qi to attack everyone.

Just before he could do that, the attacks from Lady Scarlet, Silver-haired Child, Qin Zhen, and Kang Haoxiu had already surged forth, engulfing his silhouette!

When the slaying demon sword Qi pierced through the Immortal Slaying Gourd and triggered many defensive treasures on him, both astonishment and realization dawned on Lady Scarlet and the others. Knowing the opportunity was rare, as the prowess of Immortal Master Cizi’s treasures and even his protective spirit energy had been greatly diminished by the slaying demon sword Qi, they seized their chance to unleash their strongest offensive methods...

The Ocher Demon-dispelling Bell in Silver-haired Child’s hands rang loud, sending waves of invisible ripples accompanied by a magnificent bell sound and destructive force, continuously pounding at Immortal Master Cizi.

Lady Scarlet did not use her golden bracelet but instead unleashed a cloud of crimson mist, which was both a magic treasure and a spell. Any creature touched by a trace of this mist would be overwhelmed with desire, their inner fire turning to a blaze that erupted from within, annihilating their Daoist body and mind into nothingness.

Additionally, there was the fierce blade energy slashed by Puppet Yama and the high-class Water-Thunder Demon Pearl cast by Kang Haoxiu!

”Boom!”

”Rumble!”

In the face of such onslaughts, even the formidable Immortal Master Cizi had to raise his protective spirit energy, fully activating his defensive treasures to shield himself.

Without cultivation in external magic or having not cultivated it to a high level, a cultivator’s Dao body cannot compare to the robustness of a Demon’s body. They must rely on defensive treasures, inner armor, protective spirit energy, and various Skills for defense;

If totally unguarded, a cultivator of the Divine Bridge Realm activating a magic treasure could utterly destroy the physical body of someone in the Formless Realm!

Especially under the inexplicable suppression of enormous power in the Immortal Mansion Dungeon, the gap between the strength of the Divine Bridge Realm and the Formless Realm isn’t as vast as it is in the Outer Realm... in the face of the strongest attacks from multiple Divine Bridge Realm experts, Immortal Master Cizi must carefully respond to avoid capsizing in a mere ditch.

The killing moves from the four—Silver-haired Child and others—put enormous pressure on Immortal Master Cizi, yet they ultimately couldn’t inflict substantial damage as the slaying demon sword Qi could.

Nonetheless, their actions ultimately bought Shen Mo invaluable time;

Utilizing the self-sacrifice method severely drains one’s primal Essence and Qi. After unleashing such a slaying demon sword Qi, Shen Mo would enter a relatively weak state temporarily!

Taking advantage of Immortal Master Cizi being occupied with casting defenses, Shen Mo had already recovered, with his once shriveled and skinny head and arms falling off from his Dao body, and a new head and two hands full of vigor growing back... In the next moment, he wielded the Taiyi Sword, drawing a circle mid-air with its tip, triggering the Skill[Universe in the Sword]!

Amid the relentless assaults of the Demon-dispelling Bell sound, the lust mist, the puppet blade energy, and the Water-Thunder Demon Pearl, Immortal Master Cizi suddenly felt a moment of daze, and when he came back to his senses, he found that all the attacks before him had vanished, but his body was now situated in a bizarre world;

In this place, there were the sun, moon, and stars, mountains, rivers and seas, forests and swamps, flying birds and running beasts, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, yet none were ordinary scenes but were composed of nearly infinite and terrifying sword Qi!

In an instant, the entire world’s sunrise and sunset, tides rising and falling, flora flourishing and withering, birds soaring and beasts running, fish leaping and insects shedding... every scene and every change transformed into a mysterious and unparalleled sword move, carrying a murderous momentum to crush down upon him...

”Damn brat, where did you come up with so many formidable killing moves?”

Immortal Master Cizi’s face shifted slightly, and immediately his Mana poured out like a torrent, making his protective spirit energy thicker, and the radiance of his magic spells and defensive treasures become dazzling!

...

Lady Scarlet, Silver-haired Child, and the others only saw a flash of sword light, and Immortal Master Cizi’s figure vanished into thin air, but this disappearance was very brief, lasting only for the fleeting moment of the sword light.

Subsequently, everyone saw Immortal Master Cizi reappear with his robes tattered, aura chaotic, looking somewhat disheveled!

Once [Universe in the Sword] is unleashed, whether the enemy captured within lives or dies, it is beyond Shen Mo’s control... Either they fall to the sword realm’s onslaught or they survive until the Skill’s power is exhausted, at which point the sword realm dissipates, and they break free!

Given the formidable strength Immortal Master Cizi displayed previously, Shen Mo did not believe [Universe in the Sword] could slay him directly.

Therefore, taking advantage of the moment when the thousand-year Formless Realm cultivator’s figure disappeared, he had long prepared seven inch-long Dao swords, setting up The Big Dipper Array at his location... Normally, during the formation process, Formless Realm cultivators have various means to avoid the sword array, yet it’s hard to escape the effects of the Skill [Universe in the Sword], making their combination extraordinarily brilliant!

Immortal Master Cizi, having just exhausted his means and gone through great difficulties to escape from the sword realm, immediately fell into The Big Dipper Array, once again facing an endless onslaught of sword Qi, so angry that his face turned pale.

”Conversion!”

Shen Mo softly shouted, continuously making seals with his third pair of hands, channeling Mana to activate the power of the sword array.

”Rumble!”

”Rumble rumble!”

The seven Dao swords ceaselessly changed their star positions, with endless majestic sword light filling the array, bursting forth with heart-stopping terrifying power;

It pressured the spirit light around Immortal Master Cizi to appear somewhat dim, like a flickering candle in a gale!
