Chapter 336: My Name is Slaughter

The clash of such heaven-shaking techniques was so momentous that even the armies locked in combat far away shuddered at the commotion.

The next moment, these two ultimate techniques slammed into each other, causing the very fabric of space to crack and groan, seemingly unable to withstand a power capable of annihilating everything.

“The Eight Desolates Heaven-Burning Finger? That’s the Spiritual Skill Cang Tianxing used. You managed to obtain it? Then I absolutely cannot let you live!”

The Great Mansion Lord cried out in alarm. His cheeks bulged, and without waiting for the outcome of the colossal finger and ice flood dragon grinding against each other high above, he shot upward once more.

“Super Celestial Tier Spiritual Skill, Black Wilderness Flood Dragon Transformation!”

Instantly, the black ice flood dragon grappling with the Eight Desolates Heaven-Burning Finger swelled dramatically. Its form grew more formidable, and in a flash, it transformed into a massive dragon several times its previous size.

The black ice dragon, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, unleashed a frosty dragon’s breath that stirred up a howling blizzard. Then, opening its massive maw, it swallowed the Eight Desolates Heaven-Burning Finger whole.

Yi Xiaoyao was utterly horrified at the sight. ‘A high-level Celestial Tier Spiritual Skill like the Eight Desolates Heaven-Burning Finger… was just swallowed, just like that?’

‘Is this the power of a Super Celestial Tier Spiritual Skill?’

Yi Xiaoyao marveled inwardly. ‘As expected of the Great Mansion Lord. His foundations run so deep, to possess such a powerful Spiritual Skill.’

After swallowing the Eight Desolates Heaven-Burning Finger, flames suddenly erupted from the black ice dragon’s mouth, only to be instantly frozen solid in mid-air.

Then, the black dragon shattered the ice-bound flames and charged roaring toward Yi Xiaoyao.

At this moment, Yi Xiaoyao’s expression was incredibly grim.

His gaze swept over the Carefree Alliance army, who were on the verge of a decisive victory, and a flicker of determination ignited in his eyes.

‘The Carefree Alliance is winning. How can I possibly lose?’

After muttering this to himself, colossal black swords began to rise from the Realm of Flames surrounding Yi Xiaoyao. As black, fissure-like cracks filled with a destructive aura spread out, the Destruction Sword Realm manifested once more!

Immediately, Slaughter Qi surged forth, transforming the area into a Blood-colored Purgatory.

“Not enough Slaughter Qi!”

He let out a low roar. Instantly, waves of blood-colored Slaughter Qi surged madly toward him, all converging within the Blood Prison.

This Slaughter Qi came from the experts of the Carefree Alliance. Having already slain countless enemies, the Slaughter Qi generated by their army was now all at Yi Xiaoyao’s disposal.

With such an immense amount of Slaughter Qi, the Blood-colored Purgatory was instantly pushed to its absolute limit, its domain expanding severalfold.

“Nine Swords of Slaughter, Ninth Sword!”

Within the vast Blood Prison, the figures of Blood-colored Generals rose thunderously—one after another, far more than just a single one!

A full nine Blood Prison Generals materialized Blood Prison Swords in their hands and formed an encirclement, intercepting the roaring black ice dragon.

The nine Blood Prison Swords hacked into the giant dragon’s body, sending up flurries of sharp ice shards and causing the black dragon to thrash and roar in a frenzy.

But their success was fleeting. A single sweep from the black dragon’s long body sent the nine Blood Prison Generals flying back, their bodies trembling violently as they began to disintegrate.

“Hmph! Yi Xiaoyao, you think a mere high-level Celestial Tier Spiritual Skill can contend with my Super Celestial Tier Spiritual Skill? Ridiculous!”

The Great Mansion Lord snorted in triumph. With a point of his finger, the black dragon roared and lunged toward Yi Xiaoyao once more.

A smirk touched Yi Xiaoyao’s lips. As he shot backward, his eyes flashed with a brilliant light.

“Nine Swords of Slaughter, Complete!”

With his cry, as Yi Xiaoyao unleashed his Sword Technique, the blood-colored Slaughter Qi from the nine disintegrating Blood Prison Generals began to surge wildly back towards him.

When Yi Xiaoyao had first obtained the Nine Swords of Slaughter, he had learned that once all its techniques were mastered, the art’s power would surpass even the Celestial Tier!

Only after executing the Ninth Sword did he finally understand. The technique that surpassed the Celestial Tier wasn’t some mythical tenth sword, but the perfect fusion of the entire set.

After he executed the complete Sword Technique, Yi Xiaoyao’s pursued figure suddenly vanished in a flicker of flame, just as the Black Dragon’s massive jaws were about to close upon him.

Immediately after, a vast, dark shadow fell over the Black Dragon.

BOOM!

A blood-colored giant, nearly ten times larger than the previous nine Blood Prison Generals, descended from the sky. It landed heavily upon the Black Dragon’s body and thrust its sword into the Dragon Body’s seven-inch point.

“ROOOOAR!!!”

Although not a living creature, the Black Dragon still let out a shrill, agonizing cry. Its long Dragon Body thrashed wildly, its tail lashing heavily against the blood-colored giant and kicking up a spray of blood-mist.

The face of this towering, blood-colored giant was an identical match to Yi Xiaoyao’s!

And Yi Xiaoyao, who had just vanished, was now slowly merging into the giant’s chest.

“My name is Slaughter!”

The giant Yi Xiaoyao’s lips parted, uttering the name of the complete form of the Nine Swords of Slaughter.

This technique gathered Slaughter Qi into one’s own body, condensing a body of slaughter, taking the name of Slaughter, and becoming Slaughter incarnate!

With that cry, the Slaughter Giant violently wrenched the Blood Sword from the dragon’s body and clashed with the beast in the void, their battle filling the air with a thunderous din.

The Great Mansion Lord now wore a look of utter horror. His strongest, sure-kill technique had been stopped by the Slaughter Giant that Yi Xiaoyao had become!

Looking at Yi Xiaoyao now, he was like a Dragon Slayer Warrior astride the Black Dragon. No matter how it struggled, it could not throw him off.

Every slash from the longsword in Yi Xiaoyao’s hands sent a great cloud of black ice-mist exploding from the Black Dragon’s body.

Though both were Super Celestial Tier Spiritual Skills, Yi Xiaoyao’s Slaughter incarnation was utterly crushing the dragon summoned by the Great Mansion Lord!

The reason for this was simple: the Black Dragon was merely a construct of the Great Mansion Lord’s Spiritual Energy. It fought with simple patterns and possessed no consciousness or intelligence.

The Slaughter Giant, however, was formed by Slaughter Qi condensing around Yi Xiaoyao himself and possessed all of his consciousness and intelligence.

Under such circumstances, how could the Black Dragon possibly fight the Slaughter Giant?

The greatest weakness of a snake or dragon is its seven-inch point. Right now, the Slaughter Giant was hacking at the Black Dragon’s seven-inch point again and again—a clear demonstration of the massive advantage of having true intelligence.

CRACK!

With a sky-shattering CRACK, a final sword strike from Yi Xiaoyao’s slaughter-body severed the Black Dragon’s seven-inch point. Its massive head tumbled down, collapsing and exploding into a blizzard of shattered ice.

“Impossible!!!”

The Great Mansion Lord, who had been controlling the dragon with all his might, screamed as his face twisted in disbelief.

His Super Celestial Tier Spiritual Skill, his strongest technique, had been broken just like that!

The next moment, the Great Mansion Lord watched in horror as the blood-colored giant that was Yi Xiaoyao suddenly turned its gaze upon him.

“Now, it’s your turn!”

The voice rumbled from the giant mouth of Yi Xiaoyao’s slaughter-body. Then, with a single slash that sealed off all of the Great Mansion Lord’s escape routes, the sword came cleaving down with the power to sunder heaven and earth!
