Chapter 1381: Soul Slaying Devil Saber

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect congregated their strength in one prefecture and was preparing for the final war. During these few days, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect naturally didn't sit about idly. After the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect withdrew their forces, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect instantly reinforced their control on the other five prefectures as they started to mobilize more troops and press towards the Cloud Prefecture.

Because they were worried that the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect would suddenly go berserk, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect didn't rush the attack and chose to stabilize their foundations, choosing to take things slowly instead. They first decided to build teleportation arrays in the four directions first to better reinforce their strength. This made it so that it would be easier to assemble their troops in case of any unexpected situations. Naturally, they were only doing so to guard against the unexpected. In reality, their spies had already infiltrated the Cloud Prefecture. If the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect made any large-scale movements with their army, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would instantly get the news.

Right now, the situation was extremely bad. The armies of the Eastern Sage Sect have already completely surrounded the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, and the situation was akin to black clouds blanketing the skies. Once the order came, they would instantly press forth with their attacks.

This time, not only do they want to obtain victory with a single battle, they also want to let everyone in the thirteen prefectures understand who the true owner of the thirteen prefectures is.

At the external common boundary of the Cloud Prefecture, one of the four great armies of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect was stationed there. This army took over one of the main cities and was formed from many different units of troops of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, possessing terrifying strength. In addition, the person in command of this army was one of the four paragons under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.

Back then during the war in the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the White Emperor went personally to the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and killed a paragon with a wave of his hand. Hence, a new paragon has joined the ranks, and as for the other three paragons, they were all extremely ancient existences which had fought for the thirteen prefectures together with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor back in the past.

Each of the four paragons under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor were in command of the four great armies. One could say that for this immortal war, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was going all out, planning to destroy the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect in one fell swoop. Naturally, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect could also choose to flee and not fight to the death. But if this was so, in the future, the experts of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect or the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord himself, would no longer have face to appear in the thirteen prefectures ever again.

Back then, because the Emperor Lord fought to a draw with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, he managed to acquire control of six out of the thirteen prefectures. If he abandoned the sect and fled or dispersed the sect without even fighting, that would truly be a humiliation.

At this moment, at the common boundary outside the Cloud Prefecture, over ten figures suddenly appeared in the air. This place was being controlled by the Eastern Sage Army. When the guards saw these figures, one among them shouted out, "This place is under the control of our Eastern Sage Army. Those who are not authorized cannot proceed further."

Those figures acted as though they heard nothing and continued advancing forward. Their speed was so inconceivably fast that they seemed like phantoms, shooting across the sky.

"BANG!" Abruptly, the banging of drums rang out. The immortal senses within the great city swept out and very soon after, numerous immortal kings soared up into the air, coming face to face with the over ten figures. One of the immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Army coldly asked, "Who are you guys?"

"We are people from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. We are here to issue a challenge, fighting based on immortal kings on the same cultivation level. Do you all accept?"

The army stirred, and more and more experts arrived below. Based on the numbers they have, they could instantly swallow up these over ten figures who just arrived here.

Merely over ten immortal kings and they actually dared to came here? Are they not courting death?

Naturally, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect could choose not to fight in this challenge and directly overwhelm these ten plus figures with their superiority in terms of numbers.

However, immortal kings were all proud individuals. Since their opponents issued a challenge, how could they not accept it?

Only to see right now, an expert exuding an extremely powerful aura approaching the area. This man was none other than one of the four paragons, Paragon Golden Cauldron. This Paragon Golden Cauldron was the latest to join the ranks of the four paragons. His strength was incredible and his cultivation base was very near the immortal emperor realm. He's most definitely one of the more terrifying existences in this war.

"People of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, don't you all dare to show your identities? Why are you all masking your faces." The voice of the Paragon Golden Cauldron was a booming bell, ringing out with the force of thunder.

"There's no need to waste time talking nonsense. We are here today to issue an immortal-king level battle challenge. Do you all dare to accept it or not?" A masked figure spoke.

"How to battle?" The Paragon Golden Cauldron asked.

"We will set the battles for immortal kings of the same level." As the sound of this voice faded, a masked figure stepped out, releasing his aura. A devilish might radiated forth, as well as the sharp intent of sword qi. This man was none other than Qin Wentian. Right now, he had his features obscured by a devil mask and seemed akin to a devil cultivator.

"A devil cultivator?" Paragon Golden Cauldron frowned. Devil cultivators usually congregate in the Myriad Devil Islands. Although there are still devil cultivators in the immortal realms, they are considered quite rare.

"Paragon Golden Cauldron, why are you so curious. You should have already sensed his cultivation base being at the initial-stage of the immortal king realm. If you accept the battle challenge, you can select someone at the same level." The figure with the kirin mask who spoke earlier, continued speaking.

The Paragon turned silent. After that, he turned and glanced at his subordinates. The people of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect are actually so audacious, daring to come here to challenge them for a battle. Most probably, these masked figures were fully prepared. In that case, the combat prowess of them all should be extremely strong.

For the war, immortal kings on both sides were most definitely the cornerstones. Unless the immortal emperors directly fought each other, immortal kings would be the deciding factor of who the victor was.

"Guyu, are you willing to accept this battle?" Paragon Golden Cauldron asked.

"Disciple is willing to." Within the Eastern Sage Immortal Army, a young immortal king stepped out. This young man was the beloved disciple of Paragon Golden Cauldron and was someone with extremely high combat prowess. Paragon Golden Cauldron was filled with confidence towards him. Hence, he decided to let his disciple partake in the challenge.

"Since this is the case, both our sides will retreat, allowing them to have a space to battle." The kirin-masked figure spoke. Paragon Golden Cauldron nodded as immortal kings of both sides stepped back.

At this space, only Qin Wentian and Guyu remained.

Qin Wentian's eyes, which could be seen from the slits in the mask, were gleaming with a cold killing intent. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect had always been a power he wanted to destroy. His grudge with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had festered for a very long time.

Now that there was a chance for him to kill immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, he naturally wouldn't miss this and wouldn't show any mercy.

"Guyu is the beloved disciple of Paragon Golden Cauldron, he is proficient in the same kind of attributes as Paragon Golden Cauldron and has a tyrannical attack and an extreme defense." A voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind. Qin Wentian nodded in response, after that, terrifying amounts of destructive devil might swirled around him as a fearsome and extremely sharp all-annihilative devil saber materialized in his hand.

The saber art given to him by that undying old freak could be used to mask his other techniques. In addition, he could incorporate God's Hand within his saber attacks, further augmenting the attack power to an extreme state.

A gigantic cauldron floated around Guyu. Its golden light surrounded this space, enveloping Qin Wentian within. Guyu's law domain was precisely the law domain of the golden cauldron.

The disciples of Paragon Golden Cauldron all cultivate the same kind of attribute energy as him and had inherited his techniques and arts.

"BOOM!" An incomparably heavy suppression might gushed out, wanting to forcefully crush Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian's devil might erupted forth with overwhelming might, each of his saber intents were infused with the power of his sword-attribute energy. Shadows of devil sabers filled the air as they sliced apart the waves of suppression might.

Guyu stabbed out with his finger, causing a golden cauldron to appear in the air, blotting out the sun. It spun about wildly before slamming towards Qin Wentian, while radiating a boundlessly vast aura.

"Attacks from law domains?" The resplendent light from Qin Wentian infused the saber in his hands. After that, he cleaved outwards, unleashing the first stance, cleanly slicing the gigantic cauldron into two. The law energy in his body madly surged forwards, further powering the saber strike.

"Mhm?" Guyu frowned. The might within the devil saber seemed to be growing stronger unceasingly.

"Slash!" Qin Wentian yelled, as he slashed out the second stance. This second saber directly tore apart the bindings of space, leaving lines of destruction everywhere. Guyu's surroundings erupted with a golden light as numerous cauldrons surrounded him protectively, exuding a sense of indestructibility.

"Bang!" A thunderous boom rang out as Guyu's surrounding defenses were shattered. A coldness flashed past his eyes. Although this saber technique was powerful, it only managed to shatter his external defenses.

But right at this moment, Qin Wentian pointed into the air, causing a third saber to form from the void as his terrifying law energy surged into it.

"Careful!" The Paragon Golden Cauldron reminded. Guyu's expression stiffened, boundless laws concentrated around him, causing his body to gleam with golden light. After that, thousands of cauldrons shot out, wanting to shatter that devil saber.

The saber shadows multiplied and slashed down at the same instant, causing the sky to change color. Devil might churned wildly, slamming against the waves of golden light. A deafening explosion rang out as the thousands of cauldrons were all slashed apart. The billowing devil might continued gushing forth towards Guyu, but Guyu was already prepared. He punched out, manifesting golden divine dragons that shot towards Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian was as calm as ever. He stabbed out with his finger once more, and under the thunderous devil might, another saber appeared. This was the fourth devil saber manifested, and although it wasn't as gigantic as the earlier ones, the amount of devilish might within was far more powerful.

"DIE!" Qin Wentian waved his hand, the saber then transformed into a black flowing light that slashed out once again towards the golden dragons.

Guyu's expression turned heavy. Staring at the saber slashing down, he could tell that although the size now was smaller, the force of the saber was greater.

"RUMBLE!" A black-colored lightning struck down mercilessly. At this instant, Guyu only felt his soul shuddering. His body trembled violently, and in his vision, the saber suddenly disintegrated into numerous beams of saber light, the attack direction unknown.

"Guyu!" Paragon Golden Cauldron roared, his voice like thunder from the sky, jolting Guyu awake. However, it was already too late, the saber was now right before his eyes.

"Puchi!" The saber strike landed as a black line appeared in the center of Guyu's forehead, slashing downwards. In the next moment, an explosive sound rang out as Guyu's body was sliced in twain, destroyed by the tyrannical burst of devil might.

Paragon Golden Cauldron wanted to act but he was too late by a step. His movements froze there as his expression turned ashen.

What a bizarre saber technique. The true killing stance of the saber, was the fourth attack!

This saber art was none other than the saber technique the undying old freak specially prepared for Qin Wentian - the name of the technique was Soul Slaying Devil Saber!
