Chapter 984 : Sword Formation of Seven Fiends

The allied forces were forced into a steady retreat, finding it increasingly difficult to withstand the onslaught of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons.

Yet, the arsenal of the Outer Realm Heavenly Demons was far from exhausted. To the horror of all, the Seven Sword Slaves moved as one, their wills perfectly synchronized. As if sharing a single mind, they simultaneously channeled their demonic swords, unleashing a devastating strike aimed directly at the Seven Avians Recluse.

"Disaster!"

The Seven Avians Recluse's heart plummeted. He realized this sword strike had sealed the very heavens and earth, trapping him in a fatal dead end. His allies, desperate to intervene, found themselves powerless to help.

In the end, he barely had time to activate his Near-Immortal Treasures, the Seven Avian Feather Fan [a powerful fan crafted from the feathers of seven mythical birds], to block for a fleeting moment before he was utterly slain amidst the void.

"How is this possible?!"

Shock and disbelief washed over the remaining cultivators. They could scarcely believe that the Seven Avians Recluse, a master of the Demigod Realm [a realm of power just below that of a true immortal], had been cut down in mere moments by the Seven Sword Slaves.

As a Sword Cultivator [a cultivator whose path and power are centered on the sword], Heaven Abandoned Lin possessed the deepest comprehension of the Sword Path among them. His face paled dramatically as he cried out, "That was the Seven Fiends Sword Formation [a legendary and supremely lethal sword formation]!"

"The Outer Realm Demon God [a supreme demonic entity from beyond this realm] has forged a complete Sword Formation [a coordinated array of swords that multiplies their power] within their very bodies. When activated at a critical moment, its power approaches invincibility within the Mortal Realm [the plane of existence inhabited by mortals and lower-level cultivators]."

Upon hearing his words, a profound and chilling dread settled like a leaden weight in the hearts of every cultivator present. This content originates from audio–novel.com. Please respect copyright.

Such a Seven Fiends Sword Formation, meticulously cultivated by the Netherweave Demon God, posed a genuine threat even to an Immortal when combined. How could these Demigod Patriarch hope to withstand it?

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Just as despair began to settle upon the assembly, a sigh suddenly echoed through the air.

Seeing the perilous turn of events, the Tribulation Transcending Divine Monk finally intervened, unleashing a legacy left behind by a Buddha of the Serene Spirit Temple.

The Tribulation Transcending Divine Monk manifested his golden body [a divine, radiant form achieved through profound cultivation]. Before him, countless golden Sanskrit characters surged forth, coalescing into a scroll of an ancient, world-shaking Buddhist sutra.

That tide of Sanskrit characters swept across everything, instantly slashing towards the Seven Sword Slaves.

"Cleave!"

Sensing the onslaught of golden characters, the Seven Sword Slaves moved as one.

They stood firm within the Seven Fiends Sword Formation, their combined power converging into a single, devastating sword beam that shot straight for the ancient sutra scroll.

This Seven Fiends Sword Formation, personally forged by the Netherweave Demon God as an immortal-demon slaying array, possessed power sufficient to sever stars from the Nine Heavens. Its strike neared the level of an Immortal's blow—a force that even the Eastern Sovereign in his prime would have had to treat with grave seriousness.

"Fiendish creature, meet your end!"

Yet in that very instant, the myriad golden Sanskrit characters coalesced, transforming into the phantom of an ancient Buddha. With wrathful, wide-open eyes, it pressed down with a single palm to suppress the foe.

With a deafening roar that seemed to tear heaven and earth asunder, the Seven Fiends Sword Formation was instantly shattered. Three of the Demigod Sword Slaves were pulverized into clouds of blood mist on the spot.

"Well done!"

Witnessing the collapse of the Seven Fiends Sword Formation, the Path Lord of the Purple Seal Realm felt a surge of elation, only for it to freeze in their hearts a moment later.

For the Tribulation Transcending Divine Monk who had unleashed that strike was now dissolving into motes of light, beginning to merge with the Dao of Heaven and Earth [the fundamental principle and order of the cosmos] in a final, irreversible act of self-sacrifice.

It turned out the golden Sanskrit characters were a legacy left by a Buddha of old, one of the hidden reserves the Purple Seal Realm held against the Demon God. However, its power was overwhelmingly potent, and unleashing its full might required a cataclysmic expenditure of energy.

Forcing this technique with his own cultivation base, the Tribulation Transcending Divine Monk had ultimately drained his life force to the dregs, resulting in this immediate dissolution into the Dao.

"Aaaaah—!"

After that momentary freeze, Heaven Abandoned Lin roared with a voice filled with madness and resolve. He unleashed a sword strike, its majestic radiance spanning a hundred thousand Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters], illuminating the boundless heavens and earth.

Alone, he actually managed to intercept two Demigod [a cultivator who has transcended mortality but not yet achieved full divinity] Heavenly Demons. Suppressing his grief and fury, Remembrance Path shouted, "I will hold the rear!"

Heavenly Gaze Path Master [a master of the Heavenly Gaze cultivation path] also intercepted the remaining two formidable foes, his expression grave as he commanded, "All of you, hurry to Myriad Ruins Province! You must protect the Five Elements Ancestral Veins [the primordial spiritual arteries governing the five fundamental elements of the world] at all costs."

"Brother Heaven Abandoned..."

Without a word, Kunpeng Demon Sage [a sage-level demon of the mythical Kunpeng lineage] soared directly towards Myriad Ruins Province. Earth Mystery Path Venerable [a venerable master of the Earth Mystery cultivation path], however, trembled slightly, gritted his teeth, and bid farewell, "Take care, both of you."

At this moment, everyone understood clearly. Although Heavenly Gaze Path Master and Heaven Abandoned Lin were both Pinnacle Demigod [a demigod at the absolute peak of power before divinity], attempting to withstand four Demigod Sword-Slaves likely carried the peril of their own annihilation.

Yet, in a battle of such brutal ferocity, who could guarantee their own survival? Read the full novel exclusively on audio-novel . com.

"Kill!"

Kunpeng Demon Sage possessed Extreme Speed [a divine ability granting unparalleled velocity]. With a beat of his wings that tore the firmament asunder, he overtook the three Demon Consorts, arriving after them yet striking first.

Seeing him pursue, one of the three Demon Consorts, a woman clad in violet robes, halted and laughed mockingly, "A mere fledgling Kunpeng [a mythical creature of immense size that transforms from a fish into a bird], dares to chase this sovereign?"

*Clang—!*

The Violet Demon Consort let out a cold sneer. With a flick of her sleeve, she released a violet demonic mirror, directing its light straight at the Kunpeng Demon Sage.

This treasure was named the Immortal-Breaking Mirror [a mirror capable of disrupting immortal-level powers]. It was personally forged by an Outer Realm Demon God [a powerful demonic deity from beyond this realm] and was among the most supreme of Near-Immortal Treasures [artifacts of power just below true immortal-grade]. Its radiance was something even a Demigod Patriarch would struggle to withstand.

The Kunpeng Demon Sage had intended to use his immense speed to entangle the three demon consorts. Yet, upon clashing, he realized this Violet Demon Consort had not only cultivated a Pseudo Path Fruit [a nascent, incomplete manifestation of one's cultivated Dao], but had also comprehended the illusory Path Principles Power [the fundamental power derived from understanding a Dao's principles]. Her cultivation was likely approaching that of a Lord of the Path Palace.

In an instant, the Kunpeng Demon Sage felt his heart sink. "I cannot hold them back," he muttered grimly. "This is bad!"

Sure enough, the other two demon consorts continued their charge toward Myriad Ruins Province, drawing perilously close to the location of the Flaming Prison Sea of Fire.

At that very moment, those guarding Myriad Ruins Province—Verdant Consort, Nyssa Qu, and Lila—could no longer hold back and surged forth to intercept them.

After years of cultivation, Lila's own power had quietly reached the Primordial Spirit 9th Tier [the ninth and highest tier of the Primordial Spirit realm]. She now unleashed three Near-Immortal Treasures in succession: the Primordial One Treasure Metal Bracelet [a bracelet forged from the primordial metal of creation], a horsetail whisk, and the Five-Colored Divine Whip, hoping to delay the two assailants.

"Overestimating your strength," one of the demon consorts scoffed.

With a contemptuous laugh, the two demon consorts joined forces, their combined assault forcing the trio into a desperate retreat. Fortunately, this brief delay allowed the Earth Mystery Path Venerable [a venerable master of the Earth Mystery Dao] to catch up.

A fierce battle erupted. On one side were two Demigod [beings halfway to godhood] demon consorts. On the other, four cultivators, each wielding a Near-Immortal Supreme Treasure [a supreme artifact of near-immortal grade], were no easy opponents. The clash quickly descended into a protracted and brutal stalemate.

As the situation grew increasingly desperate, the two demon consorts sneered coldly, "You may hinder us, but you cannot protect the Five Elements Ancestral Veins."

"BOOM—"

A deafening roar tore through the void as over a dozen Outer Realm Heavenly Demon broke through the encirclement and surged into the heart of Myriad Ruins Province.

Among them were several demons at the Primordial Spirit 9th Tier [the ninth and highest stage of the Primordial Spirit realm], wielding supreme treasures as they charged forth, intent on destroying the Heavenly Ridge Mountain Range, one of the five Five Elements Ancestral Veins.

Yet, in that very instant, the very fabric of space seemed to freeze solid.

A black-robed figure strode through the air, arriving with a mere flick of his sleeve. A single palm strike sent the Primordial Spirit Heavenly Demon [a demon who has attained the Primordial Spirit realm] flying backward.

The newcomer was none other than Kael Chen. His expression was icy as he regarded the powerful foes before him, his voice unnervingly calm.

"I stand here. You shall advance no further."

Only then did the demons truly see who stood before them. A flicker of recognition passed through them before cold arrogance returned to their voices. "A mere Primordial Spirit 9th Tier dares to defy the heavens?"

"We will cut you down here!"

In an instant, over a dozen Primordial Spirit Demonic Cultivator [cultivators who have reached the Primordial Spirit realm through demonic arts] launched their attacks simultaneously, converging on Kael Chen.

These dozen or so Primordial Spirit Heavenly Demon [demonic beings of immense power at the Primordial Spirit level] were exceptionally formidable, with several among them being of the Primordial Spirit 9th Tier [the pinnacle of the Primordial Spirit realm]. Even a single Primordial Spirit 9th Tier cultivator would face mortal peril confronting them.

Kael Chen clashed with the horde, and a terrifying, transcendent power erupted within the Mortal Dust [the mundane world of mortals].

The fierce battle had not raged for long before Kael Chen raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike meant to suppress all.

In that moment, the powers of Buddha, Dao, and Demon fused together, transforming into a dreadful, supreme force that swept forth. It struck one of the Primordial Spirit Late Stage [a high-level cultivator in the later phases of the Primordial Spirit realm] Heavenly Demons, instantly reducing it to a bloody mist.

"How can this be?!"

The demons cried out in shock and terror, utterly astounded that Kael Chen possessed such overwhelming might. This novel is serialized on audi novel.com. Visit for updates.
