Chapter 620: A Storm Brews in the Endless Wilderness

The Heaven-Reaching Sword Array, formed from the Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers, was suppressed by the Chaos Dragon Tomb, and Ye Wushuang began the process of its Refinement!

The Refinement process for the Heaven-Reaching Sword Array proceeded without incident, but he did run into a bit of trouble.

These Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers were all forged from Immortal Slaying Stone and contained Immortal Slaying Power.

This power was extremely fierce and terrifying. During the Refinement, it invaded Ye Wushuang's body, destroying his vitality and tearing at his flesh!

'Such fierce Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers! If they truly evolved into Holy Dao Soldiers, just how terrifying would their killing power be!'

Ye Wushuang was stunned. He had underestimated the power of the Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers. The Immortal Slaying Power that erupted churned within him, and despite possessing a Holy Body, he still felt an agonizing, tearing pain.

And this was only the first blade he was refining. He still had ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-eight more waiting. Who knew how much pain he would have to endure?

The mere thought of it made Ye Wushuang's scalp tingle!

However, now that he had started the Refinement, he couldn't stop. He could only press on. Besides, if he succeeded, he would gain an unrivaled weapon.

"Kid, the Immortal Slaying Stone is formed from the fusion of the hostile energy gathered from all things in creation and the baleful aura produced at the dawn of Chaos. It's also called the Immortal Slaying Fierce God Stone, a thing of supreme malevolence!"

"The Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers refined from it are a type of Supreme Killing Artifact, both supremely fierce and powerful. Once stained with hostile energy, they can evolve and transform without limit."

"Your path is destined to be one of blood and slaughter, which is a perfect match for the Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers. If you complete their Refinement and fuse them into your own Dao-Proving weapon in the future, they can grow without limit. They will absolutely become a terrifying existence beyond anyone's imagination."

The Dragon Cat explained about the Immortal Slaying Stone, its pair of shifty eyes watching Ye Wushuang with envy.

Ye Wushuang was astonished, never expecting the Immortal Slaying Stone to have such an incredible origin.

If what the Dragon Cat said was true, then these nearly one hundred thousand Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers were practically tailor-made for him.

At this thought, Ye Wushuang grit his teeth against the pain and continued the Refinement!

...

Meanwhile, outside, the once-silent Endless Wilderness had begun to stir.

「Demon Abyss.」

Deep underground, within a roiling Demon Vein, a cold and ruthless young man lay quietly, tempering his body with the vein's Supreme Power.

SWOOSH!

Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. A Demonic Light blazed within them, manifesting the shadows of ten thousand demons!

The entire Demon Vein began to tremble.

Several figures crossed the void and landed beside the Demon River, their eyes fixed on the young man.

"Wudao, Ye Wushuang has returned!"

The speaker was the Demon Abyss Master, and the young man he looked upon was none other than Wudao!

"Ye Wushuang!"

Wudao stepped out of the Demon Vein, his eyes radiating an endless coldness.

"My Ten Thousand Demon Battle Body has now reached Great Success, and my Cultivation is on the verge of the Nirvana Realm. My Combat Power can already rival those in the Nirvana Realm. What does Ye Wushuang have to fight me with? This time, I will cut him down and avenge my past defeat!"

Wudao clenched his fist, and the Demon Vein behind him instantly erupted, shaking the entire Demon Abyss.

...

「Celestial Sword Sect.」

By the Sword Pool, a heroic young man walked, sword in hand. His footwork was profound, his Swordsmanship abstruse, and his killing intent sharp. Though his strikes seemed slow, they gave off the strange feeling of being too fast to follow.

As he walked, his Ancient Sword sliced toward the Sword Pool time and again, yet it didn't stir a single ripple. His level of control was terrifying!

SHING!

The fluid motion complete, the Ancient Sword returned to its sheath.

As he turned to leave, the water of the Sword Pool behind him suddenly parted, annihilated into nothingness by his Sword Intent!

"Senior Brother Liuu's Sword Dao has broken through again!"

A young man walked forward. Feeling the terrifying Sword Intent in the air, his heart trembled.

"What is it?" Liuu Tianlan asked.

"Senior Brother Liuu, I just received news. Ye Wushuang has returned to the Endless Wilderness!" the young man said hastily.

"Is that so? He... has finally returned!"

'I have trained bitterly for several years, day and night without rest, achieving breakthrough after breakthrough. With my current strength, taking his head should be easy. Ye Wushuang, I, Liuu Tianlan, will come for you soon.'

At these words, two beams of Sword Aura shot from Liuu Tianlan's eyes, piercing through the void!

...

At the same time.

News of Ye Wushuang's return spread through powers like the Illusion Race and the Feather Race. Figures such as Beize Yunzhuo and Yuh Huatian all made appearances, and the various factions began to stir once more!

"That pervert is back!"

In Yunhuang Hall, upon hearing a disciple's report, the hatred Mengg Yiren had suppressed surged in her heart once more.

'Now that my Celestial Fragrance Divine Consort Body has awakened, and you still haven't told me the cultivation method... This time, I'll beat you to the ground and make you beg to tell me.'

Mengg Yiren gritted her teeth, having not forgotten for a moment how that bastard had taken liberties with her time and again!

Ye Wushuang, however, was oblivious to all of this. For two straight months, he had been completely absorbed in the Refinement of the Immortal Slaying Dao Soldiers!

During these two months, news from Barbarian King City had also spread, shaking the major influences of the Endless Wilderness and prompting them all to send experts to investigate.

However, Barbarian King City appeared calm and peaceful, making no unusual moves. The other influences, in turn, breathed a collective sigh of relief.

After all, no matter how powerful Lingxiao Pavilion was, it was still a fledgling power with unstable foundations. It posed little threat to them.

「Two and a half months later.」

On the third level of the space, the Dragon Cat was sprawled out lazily. Beside it, Ye Wushuang, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, his face instantly lighting up with joy.

'A surprise... I didn't expect this kind of surprise!'

Ye Wushuang muttered, examining his own body.

In two and a half months, he had refined all ninety-nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety-nine Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers, but there had been an unexpected side effect.

As it turned out, while the immense Immortal Slaying Fierce Power had been eroding his body during the Refinement process, a significant amount had also fused with him, imbuing his body with Immortal Slaying Power.

The main benefit was that his Golden Holy Feathers had undergone a transformation. They now possessed Immortal Slaying Power, and their might had increased dramatically.

This was something Ye Wushuang had never in a million years expected.

RUMBLE!

With a single thought, nearly a hundred thousand Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers hovered above his head, exuding an incredible ferocity!

Ye Wushuang tilted his head back to look at them, wiped his nose, and couldn't help but think, 'What would happen if I let my enemies have a taste of a hundred thousand Immortal Slaying Sacred Soldiers?'

'Everything's ready. It's time to break through.'

With his eyes set in determination, Ye Wushuang stood up, kicked the sprawling Dragon Cat to its feet, and left the third level.

In the last two and a half months, the War Fortress had changed dramatically!

Ye Wushuang extended his senses. Everyone had made huge breakthroughs. The hundred thousand members of Lingxiao Pavilion had been rigorously trained by Feng Jue into Lingxiao Warriors.

"Pavilion Master!"

As Ye Wushuang emerged, everyone bowed respectfully, their faces filled with deep reverence.

Ye Wushuang nodded, then led the Dragon Cat straight to the first level, to the place where the Half-Saint Armor was being forged.

Star Elder, Mengyun Wulei, Ye Rou, Qianling, and the others were all there.

"You're out of seclusion."

Star Elder smiled as Ye Wushuang appeared. Sensing the change in his aura, the Elder knew he had once again made a significant gain.
