Chapter 1593: Chapter 161: Curtain Falls (Part 2)

Rumble rumble.

Accompanied by the descent of golden sword Qi.

Layer upon layer of airwaves surged and spread, producing a majestic sound that could be heard clearly for miles.

This stroke of sword Qi pierced straight into the brow of the Nether Sea Venerable.

The towering arched back of the Great Flood Dragon suddenly became rigid.

All its spirit, Qi, and spirit were dispersed by this strike.

"Clatter!"

In the Ten Thousand Demon Array, countless wandering wraiths shattered with shrieks.

The collapse of the great array often meant the death and path extinction of the Array Master... The barrier formed by the sea of arrays of golden inscriptions was blasted outward with the sword Qi at this moment. The observing Great Demons were hesitant and dared not approach, because the eyes of the stout Great Flood Dragon still emitted a daunting golden light.

Xie Xuanyi’s sword fell, completely dispersing the Divine Soul of the Nether Sea Venerable, along with the removal of that undying and impure origin.

Although the Nether Sea was dead, its eyes remained wide open.

This "pseudo ultimate power" who had ascended to the Ninth Heaven before death, still held considerable dominance.

Even Silver Moon, Wu Jiu, these Great Venerables, dared not approach rashly, let alone those Yin God Venerables, and the Cave Heaven Demon Cultivators.

"Is it over?"

"The Nether Sea... is dead?"

The golden inscriptions surged like a vast ocean, radiating outwards.

The Great Demons all paused, unwilling to approach.

"It’s over."

Peacock Venerable spoke softly.

He could distinctly feel the powerful aura in the void had already dissipated.

The Nether Sea...

Had already suffered death and path extinction.

"It was Xie Xuanyi who killed him."

Wu Jiu’s expression was complicated.

He gazed at the dark-clad figure standing suspended above the Ninth Heaven, his Heart Lake a mixture of emotions, stirring up an inexplicable bitterness.

Years ago.

He was once on par with Xie Xuanyi and had thoughts of competing against him.

In fact, he had stepped into the Yang God Realm faster than Xie Xuanyi... Yet now, the gap between them had become as insurmountable as a heavenly barrier. Perhaps he could cultivate for a lifetime and still never reach the height Xie Xuanyi had reached now, capable of slaying such supreme powers as Sun Erosion and Nether Sea with a single stroke.

Now Xie Xuanyi perhaps stands just beneath the strongest of the Yang God Ninth Heaven.

"..."

Silver Moon was also expressionless, lost in silence.

This battle, the great cultivators of the Demon Country all arrived.

Who could have imagined, in the end, it would conclude in the hands of a Human Race Sword Cultivator.

"That being said..."

Though Venerable Heavenly Phoenix had died.

But many of his disciples still survived.

Thanks to the protection by several Great Venerables earlier, they escaped the slaughter of the Ten Thousand Demon Array, hiding within the Fighting Holy Peak. At this moment, a disciple looked at the striking black-clad Sword Cultivator at the Heavenly Peak and cautiously spoke: "The great battle is over; should we encircle and attack Xie Xuanyi?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Corpse Mountain plunged into a delicate silence.

The Great Demons looked at each other.

The speaker was merely a Cave Heaven Demon Cultivator, just an insignificant figure among the demons celebrating this grand occasion.

But what he said struck the heart of each Great Demon.

Xie Xuanyi...

Was the most feared enemy in the entire Demon Country!

This young Sect Leader of Da Sui Sword Palace, single-handedly stirred trouble within the Demon Country for an entire year, his high-profile style surpassed even Zhao Chunyang of the past.

A year ago, the Sun Eater Venerable died at the hands of Xie Xuanyi, now the Nether Sea Venerable also perished at his hand.

These were the two supreme powers standing on the pinnacle of the Demon Country’s mountain.

Just like that, they died?

If they allowed Xie Xuanyi to leave... how could the Demon Country continue this "North-South great war" in the future?

The Great Demons certainly wanted to kill Xie Xuanyi.

But.

No one moved.

Those Yin God Venerables, showing troubled expressions, turned their gazes to the Great Venerables.

They were merely Yin Gods...

Before a Great Divine Ability User of Xie Xuanyi’s level.

The Yin God Realm was like an ant.

Even if they were willing to sacrifice their lives, to charge into battle, it would be meaningless.

Peacock, Silver Moon, Primordial Saint, these Great Venerables also had complex expressions.

"Should we act?"

Silver Moon Great Venerable scratched his head.

He certainly wanted Xie Xuanyi dead...

But he was not stupid.

The one who most wanted to kill Xie Xuanyi had just been cut down with a single stroke, even after reaching the Ninth Heaven, he could not escape death. This guy, though young, in Silver Moon’s eyes, was no different from Zhao Chunyang back then... Wanting to kill Xie Xuanyi required a joint effort.

Actually, Silver Moon had long decided, even if everyone rushed forward, he would stay at the back to ensure his own safety.

A deathly silence, no response.

"..."

Peacock Venerable squinted his eyes, as if contemplating.

"Or perhaps just let it be..."

Silver Moon whispered to himself.

This person named Xie... after all, saved him.

If he struck now, it would be too unprincipled.

"How can we act at this moment?"

Wu Jiu spoke up.

He looked towards the Heavenly Peak, and solemnly said: "Though Xie Xuanyi is the great enemy of the Demon Country... if it weren’t for him, we would all have died under the Ten Thousand Demon Array. Repaying kindness with betrayal, how could such a person be considered a man of integrity?"

"But letting him go is like releasing a tiger back to the mountain!"

The chief disciple under the Venerable Heavenly Phoenix, Green Flame Venerable, stood up at this time.

Green Flame Venerable solemnly said: "Once Xie Xuanyi returns to Great Chu, when he appears again in the future, he will have the strength to compete with the Nine Heavens Great Cultivators... As of now, in the Demon Country, besides the Great Palace Master, who else can battle him?!"

With these words, the debate arose again.

"If you’re unwilling to let him leave, you can go forward and stop him yourself."

Wu Jiu laughed derisively.

He glared at Green Flame Venerable.

In all his years of cultivation, he had never deigned to engage in such pettily unjust acts—

If today they encircled and killed Xie Xuanyi.

How could he continue his path of cultivation in the future, how could he face his own Dao Heart?

"Wu Jiu... you’re too merciful!"

Green Flame Venerable was furious: "Xie Xuanyi is an enemy of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, an enemy of the Demon Country! How can you hesitate to fight!"

In terms of seniority, he was actually of the same generation as Wu Jiu, even slightly older.

However, his cultivation talents were far inferior to Wu Jiu.

Wu Jiu, at a young age, achieved Yang God status.

While he remained a Yin God.

Years ago, when the two met, back then Wu Jiu would call Green Flame ’Senior Brother’.

But now...

One is in heaven, the other on earth, not in the same realm anymore.

Slap!

Wu Jiu indulged not the slightest bit in Green Flame Venerable; hearing the latter call his name directly, he swept his sleeve in the air, striking him heavily.

"Impotent."

Wu Jiu coldly said: "Who gives you the courage to call this seat by name?"

Green Flame Venerable was hit hard and sent flying.

"Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother..."

The disciples of Tianfeng Dojo hurriedly stepped forward to assist.

"Heh..."

Green Flame Venerable refused these gestures of goodwill.

He smirked, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"Wujiu Great Venerable..."

Green Flame Venerable looked upwards, and mocked: "You’re indeed capable, a dignified Yang God, only dares to strike your comrades?"

"The Heavenly Phoenix Palace’s laws are strict; you, committing insubordination, deserve this punishment."

Wu Jiu said expressionlessly: "Even if your Master were alive, he wouldn’t dare show such disrespect towards me."
