Chapter 865 Battle of the Azure Sea Sphere, Ten Directions Annihilation Sword _2
As for the martial artists of the Azure Sea Sphere, relatively fewer ventured out to traverse other realms.
On this day, one after another, figures crossed over the Realm Gate of the Azure Sea Sphere. All the comers were Immortal Heavenly Venerables clad in black robes, enveloped in a special aura that masked the might of their status as Immortal Heavenly Venerables.
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Azure Sea Sphere, who was stationed at the Realm Gate, cast a glance at the crowd and then his gaze rested on one of them, his expression slightly complex.
At last, he sighed and said, "The favor of saving my life back then has now been repaid. You have but a quarter of an hour; otherwise, people from Yuntian Island will inevitably arrive."
"A quarter of an hour is enough!"
The person nodded.
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Azure Sea Sphere waved his hand, and, carrying several True King Heavenly Venerables who had already fallen unconscious, instantly vanished from the spot to stop at a small island closest to the Realm Gate.
His gaze surveyed the sea area where the Realm Gate was located, a slight frown creasing his brow.
"Who is being ambushed? With twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables joining hands, it's indeed a fine strategy. Could it be an ambush for those stronger than the Immortal Realm? But since when does the Divine Realm have such strong individuals arriving?"
He was filled with uncertainty.
At the same time, a chill ran through him, "What force is Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow, exactly? To dispatch twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables all at once is truly mighty. Moreover, many of them are strangers to me."
At this moment, he seemed to think of something.
"Could it be that they come from the Taihe Realm?"
He pondered with furrowed brows, his gaze growing heavy.
"If the Heavenly Ladder of the Taihe Realm were to appear, we would surely sense it, but there has been no sign. Could it have been during the last appearance that they entered the Divine Realm,"
The more he thought, the more he believed the hidden strength of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow in the Divine Realm to be extremely formidable.
He stood on the small island, silently gazing at the location of the Realm Gate, knowing that once a great battle erupted, the powerhouses of Yuntian Island would sense it and arrive immediately.
The others only had a quarter of an hour.
For twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables to make their move, a quarter of an hour was indeed enough.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Outside the small island where the Realm Gate was situated, twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables had completely surrounded the area.
In the sea and among the clouds, hidden figures lurked.
Furthermore, four Immortal Heavenly Venerables had placed a Divine Artifact each at the four seas. Once activated, these could amplify the power of the Immortal Heavenly Venerables, entrap this Domain, and seal the people within, limiting their strength to only fifty percent.
And, it also cut off any possibility of escape.
"If we can capture them alive, do so. If it's not feasible, go all out and kill him!" said the leader in a firm voice.
"Understood!"
All the Immortal Heavenly Venerables nodded in unison.
They concealed their forms, not revealing any aura, so that even if other Immortal Heavenly Venerables arrived, they would be unable to detect in an instant that this place was already surrounded.
At this moment, twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables had laid a net of heaven and earth, readying to encircle and kill their enemy.
The moment the enemy crossed over the Realm Gate, they would fall into the encirclement.
"Crossing the Realm Gate will lead to the Azure Sea Sphere. I wonder how Brother Xie is faring," Xu Yan mused as he looked at the Realm Gate.
The Seductive Witch's Yu Zhu is indeed a treasure. My understanding of the Establishing Dao Realm has deepened, and I am not far from fully grasping it," he thought to himself.
The Yu Zhu contained mysterious patterns, resembling certain rules or perhaps similar to Dao principles. If the hollow inside the Yu Zhu were seen as a Domain, then the mysterious patterns would be the principles governing it.
It was precisely because of such uniqueness, and because the Yu Zhu itself was a special treasure, that Xu Yan often observed and contemplated the Dao rhyme within it, greatly aiding his comprehension of the Establishing Dao Realm.
He had been targeted by Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow's actions and had noticed that they seemed to be luring him somewhere. However, Xu Yan had no intention of paying attention and simply killed them.
"Since Fifth Junior Brother is also not very familiar with the Azure Sea Sphere, I will have to investigate on Yuntian Island once I arrive there," thought Xu Yan as he walked towards the Realm Gate, while communicating.
"Second Senior Brother, you said Princess of the Da Yan Realm is practicing a certain icy Cultivation Technique and ran into some problems? The cold has invaded her Divine Soul, making her cold as ice, and she wishes to engage in a spiritual union with vigorous men to dissolve the chill?
You traded a bottle of Divine Soul pill for some of her treasures? As long as it isn't a loss. But those pills, they can't cure her condition..." Meng Chong's voice came through the transmission, sharing news of the Da Yan Realm including the Princess's situation, and the factions of martial artists in the Spiritual Realm.
After ending the communication, Xu Yan also arrived in front of the Realm Gate.
"Azure Sea Sphere, here I come. How strong have you become, Brother Xie?" said Xu Yan as he stepped into the Realm Gate.
In the Azure Sea Sphere, Xu Yan emerged from the Realm Gate and looked up to see the Azure Sea, boundless and vast.
"Hmm?"
He then revealed a radiant smile.
"Nicely done! I thought Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow was nothing much, but this time they have brought so many strong individuals beyond my expectation. It's a pity there is no one above the Immortal Realm, and Tian Shiqi himself did not take action," Xu Yan was somewhat disappointed.
```
He walked into the Azure Sea unfazed and fearless.
"Come at me, why bother with such secrecy?"
Whoosh!
Twenty silhouettes emerged, their auras stirring heaven and earth, and divine artifacts burst into light all around, connecting with each other, forming a giant net that covered the area where Xu Yan stood.
Boom!
At that moment, it seemed as if heaven and earth had solidified.
Twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables' presences interlinked, their auras blending, jointly controlling that part of the world. Coupled with the confining divine artifacts, even a top Immortal Heavenly Venerable, once trapped, would perish right there and then.
"Xu Yan, surrender without a struggle,"
Said the leader coldly.
"With just you?"
Xu Yan let out a disdainful smile.
Hum!
Sword light emerged, the sword now clasped in his palm.
"I have always wanted to know, how many Immortal Heavenly Venerables my current strength can handle. Today seems like a good day to find out!"
The leader's eyes turned frosty as he said in a deep voice, "Attack, we must finish him within a quarter of an hour!"
"A quarter of an hour? That's more than enough!"
Xu Yan responded with a cold laugh.
With a single step, there came a thunderous boom, and the space in the previously solidified heaven and earth shook violently, as if a great dragon had broken free from its shackles, and the solidified world splintered apart.
In an instant, all the Immortal Heavenly Venerables were horrified.
"All out, kill him!"
Bellowed the leader.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
As Xu Yan moved, the giant net formed by divine artifacts started to crumble, and the solidifying power of heaven and earth dissipated.
Boom!
The waves of the Azure Sea surged wildly as a wave rolled towards him.
Xu Yan reached out and with a grasp said, "Azure Sea surging waves, become my sword!"
Boom!
The rolling waves suddenly transformed into a sword thousands of feet long, cutting through the sky and slashing down fiercely.
Around the Azure Sea, columns of water soared to the sky, turning into massive swords standing between heaven and earth, each emanating a fierce killing Sword Intent.
The Sword Intent of each massive sword was unique yet interwoven with the others.
Boom!
Even the small island behind Xu Yan, where the Realm Gate stood, turned into a massive sword at this moment, erected between heaven and earth.
The Azure Sea Sphere's Realm Gate now hung suspended over the sea.
The hearts of the group from Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow sank.
What terrifying means was this, what Sword Dao?
Had Xu Yan become so terribly powerful?
The Immortal Heavenly Venerable from the Azure Sea Sphere, far away, was now completely stunned, feeling a numbness on his scalp and his heart trembling with fear.
Who exactly are Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow dealing with?
At this moment, all he could see from the sea where the Realm Gate stood were massive swords, exuding a powerful killing intent. Despite the vast distance, they still made his heart skip a beat.
"What Sword Dao is this?"
Too terrifying!
"A quarter of an hour? Will those lying in ambush be the ones dying within a quarter of an hour?"
Muttering to himself, the more he thought, the more terrified he became. Twenty Immortal Heavenly Venerables, could they really not withstand it?
Were the minds of Heavenly Slaughter Earth Shadow's Immortal Heavenly Venerables damaged? To attack such a terrifyingly powerful being, confident that a quarter of an hour would be sufficient?
Indeed, it was sufficient!
But it was they who would be annihilated within a quarter of an hour, not the other way around!
Thinking shocked thoughts, the Immortal Heavenly Venerable of the Azure Sea Sphere now heard a clear voice spreading throughout.
"Today, I shall test on you my most recently comprehended Ten Directions Annihilation Sword!"
As the voice fell, within the sea where the Realm Gate was located, the interweaving swords flooded that piece of heaven and earth with light, the intent of annihilation surged in all directions, and even from afar, there was a sense of being in the midst of a great cataclysm, facing imminent destruction!
