Chapter 974: Chapter 508: Unexpected Enemy Attack (Part 2)

"Profound Celestial Nine Heavens, Thunder Shaking Heaven and Earth!" Xin Tiansen invoked the thunder above the Nine Heavens, gathering into a Thunder Dragon. The Thunder Dragon roared, carrying a power sufficient to shake the universe, charging straight toward the Cyan Kite Phoenix, determined to tear apart this Guardian Sword.

Facing this double attack, Sword Master Feng’s expression remained calm. This battle concerned the sect’s honor and his own Dao Heart; there could be no backing down. He closed his eyes, concentrating, and his Sword Heart rose to a new height, reaching an unprecedented connection with the Cyan Kite Dao Sword.

"Sword and Heart Unity, Cyan Kite Nirvana!" Sword Master Feng suddenly opened his eyes, which shone with dazzling light. The Cyan Kite Dao Sword in his hand seemed to come to life at this moment, its Sword Aura bursting forth. The Cyan Kite Phoenix let out a deafening cry, its flames surging, transforming into a Phoenix reborn in flames, its might even greater than before.

The Cyan Kite Phoenix soared high, charging straight towards the Nether Ghost Sea and the Profound Celestial Thunder Dragon. The three wove an awe-inspiring scene in the air. Each collision was accompanied by the shattering and reformation of space, unleashing energy capable of Heaven and Earth Destruction.

The fierce battle among the three continued without pause, and Sword Master Feng, heavily consuming his power, gradually fell to a disadvantage. Though the Cyan Kite Dao Sword was sharp, it struggled to sustain a fight against the combined forces of two sect masters.

At this moment, Li Mu completed the setup of the Ancient Teleportation Array, pouring his True Essence into fully activating the array.

However, Xin Tiansen and Gao Hong, engaged in battle with Sword Master Feng, sensed the fluctuation of the Teleportation Array Power. Their expressions changed quickly, realizing this might be a sign of the enemy escaping or reinforcements arriving.

Xin Tiansen’s eyes sharpened, and he whispered to Gao Hong, "We cannot let that Teleportation Array activate, or the situation will be uncontrollable."

Gao Hong nodded, and the two shifted part of their focus, no longer fully attacking Sword Master Feng, but instead each unleashed powerful Techniques, intending to interfere with and destroy the still-unstable Teleportation Array.

Gao Hong waved the Netherworld Ghost Banner, and the vengeful spirits within the Nether Ghost Sea transformed into shadows, shooting toward the Teleportation Array like arrows, attempting to erode its foundation with Nether Qi.

Meanwhile, Xin Tiansen summoned thunderclouds from above the Nine Heavens, forming a dense Thunder Net. Thunder Light flickered, its destructive power enveloping the area where the Teleportation Array was located. Each bolt of lightning contained space-tearing potency, intending to directly destroy this potential threat.

Seeing this, Sword Master Feng became anxious and had to stop Gao Hong and Xin Tiansen’s destruction. Despite having reached his limit and his Spiritual Power nearly exhausted, he gritted his teeth, mustering all his strength to charge toward the Teleportation Array’s location.

"Unbreakable Sword Heart, Cyan Kite Eternal!"

Sword Master Feng shouted in fury, and the Cyan Kite Dao Sword in his hand burst with radiant light, merging with his will. He swung the sword to cut down the vengeful spirits assaulting like arrows. Wherever the Sword Light passed, the spirits dissipated, and the Nether Qi was dispelled by Sword Qi.

However, Xin Tiansen’s control of the Thunder Net grew fiercer, and the dense lightning formed an inescapable net, enveloping both Sword Master Feng and the Teleportation Array within.

Sword Master Feng desperately swung his sword, attempting to slice through the Thunder Net, but the power of the lightning was too strong. Each clash sent a forceful shock through him, involuntarily throwing his body backward, crashing heavily into the ground.

"Die!"

Xin Tiansen glared angrily at Sword Master Feng, unleashing the Thunder Sword Intent with all his might.

Just as Sword Master Feng was driven back by the Thunder Net, nearly powerless to continue fighting, a thunderous roar came from afar, as if ten thousand swords were singing, shaking the entire space.

"Profound Celestial Sword Array!"

Li Mu formed a Two-Hand Seal, his whole body surging with Spiritual Power. The Dao Artifact—Ten Thousand Swords Mountain appeared. With his command, countless Sword Shadows emerged suddenly between Heaven and Earth, every Spirit Sword razor-sharp, ready to strike.

Ten Thousand Swords Mountain stood tall, its tips aimed at the sky. Each sword emitted a fierce Sword Intent, forming a sharp contrast to Xin Tiansen’s Thunder Net.

Li Mu, without hesitation, controlled Ten Thousand Swords Mountain to unleash a myriad of swords, ramming into the Thunder Net Sword Array. The clash between sword and thunder erupted in a deafening boom, as each Tier Five and Six Spirit Sword successfully washed away the Thunder Net Sword Qi.

On the entire battlefield, it seemed that time stood still at that moment.

Everyone’s eyes focused on Li Mu, who had summoned Ten Thousand Swords Mountain and controlled countless swords to form the array, saving Sword Master Feng from dire straits.

At this moment, Li Mu floated in the air, hands forming the Sword Techniques, a small black mountain floating in front of him, emitting an unparalleled Sword Intent, controlling thousands of Spirit Swords to sing in unison, releasing brilliant Sword Aura. It was as if a galaxy poured down, illuminating the entire battlefield, with his figure looming in the Sword Light, like an Immortal Spirit among swords, transcendent and ethereal.

"What! How can this be!"

Xin Tiansen’s face changed dramatically. He never expected that Li Mu, an Artifact Refining Grandmaster, would have Void Refining Cultivation and could deploy such a powerful sword array. His Thunder Net Swordsmanship had been resisted under the assault of this array.

Sword Master Feng’s eyes widened, equally startled by Li Mu’s intervention. Although relieved to be saved, he was more shocked by Li Mu’s hidden cultivation and formidable combat power, looking at Li Mu with amazement, as if seeing a stranger.

"What an impressive Profound Celestial Sword Array, what an outstanding Li Mu!" Gao Hong gritted his teeth but had to admit that the opponent exceeded his expectations. He exchanged a look with Xin Tiansen, both seeing resolute determination in the other’s eyes.

This one cannot be allowed to remain in the Profound Celestial Sword Sect. Otherwise, he will eventually become another Daoist Monarch, posing a significant threat to their sect.

A vicious glint flashed in Gao Hong’s eyes. He no longer held back and decisively attacked Li Mu.

Gao Hong’s figure flickered, waving the Netherworld Ghost Banner once more. This time, he did not merely rely on the power of vengeful spirits but jumped into the Ghost Sea himself, transforming into the Lord of the Netherworld, surrounded by dense Nether Qi, akin to a messenger from Hell.

"Netherworld Soul Devourer, Ten Thousand Ghosts as One!" Gao Hong roared lowly. The Nether Ghost Sea seemed to respond to his call, and countless vengeful spirits formed a black torrent, charging toward Li Mu and Sword Master Feng with a devouring force.

"Sword Array, turn!"

Li Mu shouted loudly, and the Myriad Sword Array released a powerful Sword Intent. Thousands of swords sang together, the Sword Light weaving into a massive Sword Net that tightly encased the oncoming Nether Torrent. Inside the Sword Net, Sword Light and Nether Qi collided fiercely, the sharp Sword Qi crazily tearing through the Nether Ghost Sea.

Seeing this, Xin Tiansen immediately followed up to assist Gao Hong, preparing to quickly capture him.

"Profound Celestial Thunder Move, Ten Thousand Thunders as One, Kill!" Xin Tiansen roared with conviction. Amidst the rolling thunder, countless bolts of lightning roared like giants toward Li Mu’s sword array.

At this moment, Sword Master Feng also regained his senses. He knew he could not continue to observe passively; Li Mu’s cultivation was lacking, and fighting across tiers was difficult, especially against two Peak of Integration cultivators. Thus, he endured the pain, once again wielding the Cyan Kite Dao Sword, joining the battle.

"Cyan Kite Sword Resounds, Wind’s Roar Boundless!"

Sword Master Feng brandished the Cyan Kite Dao Sword so densely not even a breeze could pass through, the sword tip slicing through the air with sharp whistles, tearing apart any obstacle. His Sword Intent fused with the Wind Element, forming a gale that blew away the Nether Qi and Thunder Dragon, buying more maneuvering space for Li Mu’s sword array.

Li Mu’s spirit lifted slightly, the Star Nebula Visualization Method operating at its peak, his focus wholly placed on Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, his mind and Ten Thousand Swords Mountain becoming one, the Sword Intent of the entire world surging with his will.

"Profound Celestial Sword Array, Profound Celestial One Sword!"

Li Mu gave a sharp cry, pouring all his True Essence into Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

Suddenly, Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, controlling a myriad of Spirit Swords, converged into one in an instant, forming a giant sword unlike any before. This giant sword was not just a concentration of Sword Intent but also a manifestation of the Heaven and Earth Law. Its presence rendered everything breathless.

The Profound Celestial One Sword sliced through the sky with the power of Heaven and Earth Destruction, directly severing the Nether Torrent and Thunder Dragon unleashed by Gao Hong and Xin Tiansen. Wherever the giant sword passed, space was split in two, and the Nether Qi and Power of Thunder scattered under the overpowering Sword Intent, unable to resist the edge of this sword.
