Chapter 466 - 241: Xuanyi Guards the Gate

Neither side had officially made a move, but the entangled aura was already too much for the Foundation Establishment cultivators led by Zhao Zhuoran.

Among them, two Foundation Establishment cultivators were unable to withstand the destruction of their Divine Sense by the will of both parties, and uncontrollably spit out fresh blood from their mouths.

Outer Sect disciples, on the other hand, were more cautious, knowing that such a level of confrontation was beyond their viewing capability, and thus lowered their heads, not daring to take unnecessary risks.

"Activate the Blood River Locking Dust Array!" Zhao Zhuoran roared loudly. As soon as his words fell, he forcefully withstood the collision of pressures in the air, rising into the sky, his hands rapidly forming Sealing Skills.

At the moment his figure ascended, two more silhouettes emerged from the Inner Sect.

They stood alongside Zhao Zhuoran, forming the Seal Skill to activate the Blood River Locking Dust Array.

The two were a man and woman, appearing as an elderly couple.

The old man’s hunched back resembled a withered tree bent by the weight of years,

the nine-section chain around his waist turned verdigris-green, with twelve jade plaques hanging from it. Whenever his bony fingers lightly touched a jade plaque, its pattern would instantly come alive.

The old woman had eyes similar in color to those of Yan Yingsi, blood pupils eerie and scorching.

Her head was full of white hair, messy like weeds, and the once-blood-red silk and skirt she was wearing were faded and gray, the gold patterns at the hem were mottled. Yet, whenever she moved slowly, those patterns seemed to come alive, emitting a faint glow.

These two were the other Foundation Establishment Array Masters of Five Extremes Mountain besides Zhao Zhuoran.

The three Foundation Establishment Array Masters combined their efforts to activate the true Mountain Protection Array of Five Extremes Mountain: the Blood River Dust-breaking Array.

Boom! As if some restriction was triggered at the top of the five peaks of the Outer Sect.

Each mountain peak erupted with a blood-red light piercing straight into the clouds.

The five beams eventually converged in the center of the sky, forming a barrier like an upside-down jade bowl, guarding all five peaks of the Outer Sect within.

The Blood River Dust-breaking Array, a Golden Core Array, capable of blocking Golden Core cultivators.

The air within the array that protected the five peaks of the Outer Sect became thick, as if a rolling river was flowing inside the array, its torrents booming with sounds resonating far and wide.

Zhao Zhuoran, leading the three Foundation Establishment Array Masters, was now sitting in the center of the void of the Blood River Dust-breaking Array, controlling this Golden Core Grand Array.

With this Golden Core Grand Array’s protection, the collision and waves from the outside by Xuanyi and the massive shadow were finally isolated.

Those within the array, not yet calmed from their shock, finally dared to raise their heads, observing their Sect Leader and the unknown formidable foe.

Outside the barrier of the Blood River Dust-breaking Array, Xuanyi stood in the high air, confronting the black silhouette that had sailed out of the mist.

Once out of the mist’s cover, the people of Five Extremes Mountain finally saw clearly the true form of the black silhouette.

It was a giant black ship, seemingly not solid, its mottled hull flickering in and out in the void.

Yet the sinister aura it emitted was undeniably real.

Facing Xuanyi’s interference, the giant black ship had no intention of stopping, slowly and resolutely continuing to sail towards the five peaks of the Outer Sect.

Wherever the giant black ship passed, the void seemed unable to withstand its power, emitting sounds of collapse.

Xuanyi’s eyes, radiating menacing energy, gazed at the advancing ship, a wicked grin curving his lips.

His palm clawed the void, a cold voice booming, "Heling!"

Whoosh! A crane darted out from within the array, in an instant crossing the distance between the array and Xuanyi, transforming in his palm into a long sword with a dark red blade like solidified blood crystal.

The sword edge emitted a three-foot ghostly glow, its blade lined with dense serrations resembling the fangs of a vengeful spirit.

The junction of the blade and the hilt bore a pattern resembling the beak of a celestial crane, its eyes blood-red, oozing a thick liquid like blood crystal, creeping down the sword ridge, instantly transforming into wandering ghost fire.

Within the ghost fire, countless twisted faces drifted up and down, converging as they emitted soul-stirring screeches.

Zhao Zhuoran and many Foundation Establishment cultivators looked respectfully at the long sword in Xuanyi’s hand, muttering its name in their hearts: "Ghost Blade!"

Golden Core Magical Artifact: Ghost Blade.

Also the true form of the Disciplinary Hall Master Heling.

This sword had not been seen for countless years; after Xuanyi assumed the position of Sect Leader, in Cyan Feather Realm only legends about Ghost Blade existed, no one had truly seen its form.

Barely emerged, it seemed to need to unleash all accumulated fierce energy from decades.

Boom! Xuanyi slashed out with one sword, as if the brightness within a radius of dozens of miles centered on Five Extremes Mountain was consumed, leaving everyone seeing only a bloody long arc across the sky.

Within the sword’s streak, countless tormented souls shrieked, its overwhelming fierce power seemingly able to split the sky, striking directly towards the phantom ship.

Clash!

Under this sword, more than ten peaks beyond Five Extremes Mountain were flattened, the earth cleaved into two, forming a bottomless gorge outside Five Extremes Mountain.

The unstoppable black ship was also submerged in the blood light.

Strangely, when the sword’s power dispersed, the black ship reappeared, intact in the world.

Under such an attack from Xuanyi, the black ship showed no signs of damage.

"How can this be!" Within the array of Five Extremes Mountain, whether Foundation Establishment or Outer Sect disciples, all turned pale upon witnessing this scene.

Hundred Ghosts Asura Xuanyi’s sword once directly severed a demon lair, slashed the highest Spirit Mountain in Linlang Domain, killing countless Golden Core demon cultivators.

That ghost ship under Xuanyi’s sword remained unscathed.

Unlike everyone’s horror, Xuanyi’s surprised delight showed instead, eyes bursting with intense battle spirit, letting out a long howl, holding the Ghost Blade that had slaughtered countless lives, charging towards the ghost ship.
