Chapter 123: Chapter 105: Slaughtering All Sides, Xingyue City in an Uproar

"What?"

BOOM!!!

The instant the two-thousand-zhang Sword Qi slashed out, the vast sea of Xingyue City Cultivators were struck as if by lightning. Endless disbelief and shock flooded their eyes. They saw the white-clad figure move. He had remained perfectly still, but when he finally moved, he astounded the world.

The moment the golden Sword Qi lashed out, every Cultivator felt an invisible, crushing pressure. Facing that Sword Qi head-on brought forth a terrifying sensation of confronting death itself.

The Sword Qi swept across the sky, aimed straight at the countless peerless prodigies filling the air. The terrifying entities that had already charged forward to kill him suffered a drastic change in expression, their scalps tingling with dread.

"What powerful Sword Qi!"

"How is this possible?"

"The power of this Sword Qi... Nine Spirit Transformations?"

"What did you say? Nine Spirit Transformations?"

Upon sensing the cultivation base Jiang Hao had unleashed, the countless peerless prodigies filling the sky were utterly astounded. They wanted to react, but it was already too late.

The next moment, a deafening BOOM echoed.

Countless peerless prodigies joined forces, unleashing slashes of swords and sabers or striking out with fists and palms. The overwhelming, terrifying power surged like a tidal wave to meet that solitary streak of Sword Qi.

However, accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion, the Sword Qi collided with the tidal wave of power and instantly spread outwards. The moment the combined strength of the peerless prodigies touched the Sword Qi, their power immediately crumbled. The sheer overwhelming force swept through, crushing everything in its path.

BOOM!!!

Even though the Sword Qi’s power was being rapidly diminished, its might remained heaven-shaking. In an instant, it slashed right before the crowd.

"Aargh!!!"

"No!!!"

Under the backlash of the Sword Qi and their own surging power, countless peerless prodigies were sent flying, coughing up large mouthfuls of blood. Some peerless prodigies were even blasted into blood mist on the spot, dead beyond measure.

RUSTLE!!!

All at once, countless Xingyue City Cultivators abruptly stood up or took a step forward, roaring thunder flashing in their eyes. Even the older generation figures from the various factions of the Eastern Domain had their pupils shrink to the extreme, rendered indescribably shocked on the spot. Even the top-tier peerless prodigies and peerless freaks who had yet to make a move widened their eyes, utterly stunned.

"A cultivation base of Nine Spirit Transformations!"

"What a terrifying sword strike."

"Not good, our intelligence was wrong. This boy is far more terrifying and monstrous than we imagined."

"Tian’Er, retreat immediately!"

Countless older generation figures wore incredibly grim expressions, their breathing growing ragged. However, it was too late. The terrifying Sword Qi swallowed the sky full of peerless prodigies, directly churning the void into fragmented chaos.

For a moment, everyone was stunned. The local Cultivators of Xingyue City, in particular, were absolutely astounded, petrified on the spot.

One sword strike. Just a single sword strike, and it forced the entire world into dead silence.

"Heavens!"

"How can he be this strong?"

"He... he used only one sword strike to repel a sky full of peerless prodigies?"

When this scene truly unfolded, everything and everyone was left in utter shock.

"Nine Spirit Transformations?" Within the Ye Family Mansion, Gu Qingyan felt that Heaven-Defying Sword strike, monstrous ripples surging in her beautiful eyes.

No, it wasn’t just the Nine Spirit Transformations. Within that power, there was a different kind of variation. Gu Qingyan seemed to have noticed something and became even more shocked, her delicate body even trembling slightly. Being an extremely terrifying existence herself, she could see the sheer horror within it at a single glance.

That was—the Realm of Spirit Transformation Nine Changes after undergoing One Vein Many Transformations.

As for how many transformations the vein had reached, she had no way to judge. That was because the white-clad figure hadn’t used his full strength at all. It was just a casual sword strike, as effortless as the wave of a hand. Yet, this simple and ordinary strike had reached a heart-trembling level.

At this moment, Bai Wufeng, Gai He, Zhang Changsheng, Wu Jing, Ye Xiaotian, Liu Ruyue, Ye Tiannan, Ye Canghai... Li Qingyi, the Li Family Patriarch, Tang Yan, Tang Xiao, Tang Xiaofeng, Tang Xun’Er... As well as the Qi Family’s old master, Qi Tianhai, Wang Jiang, the Miaodan Square Workshop Master, Zhao Wuji, and the rest were all completely dumbstruck.

It was too terrifying. A casual sword strike had actually achieved such horrifying destructive power. If this single strike were to fall upon Xingyue City, it would result in an unimaginable catastrophe.

"Heavens, he... he has actually grown to this extent?"

"It’s only been eight short years. How could he reach such heights?"

"No, this can’t be real."

After a brief silence, the entirety of Xingyue City exploded in an uproar. The absolute shock written across their faces simply could not be described with words. Up in the void, the older generation figures from the various factions were breathing heavily, their scalps entirely numb.

"The sword! It must be the augmentation brought to him by that sword," an older generation figure immediately spoke out in horror.

When that sword strike was unleashed, not only was it driven by golden Spiritual Power, but there was also a trace of Chaos Power attached to it, which was why it reached such terrifying might.

"That’s right, it’s the sword might of that Sword Embryo that augmented his lethality."

"What a terrifying, mysterious Sword Embryo. Just what is its origin?"

"He only brought out less than a trillionth of the Sword Embryo’s power. It’s obvious that this kind of Divine Artifact becomes stronger when wielded by the strong. The power it can unleash completely depends on the swordsman’s own cultivation base."

That was indeed the truth. Although Jiang Hao had obtained the Chaos Sword Embryo, the Artifact Spirit within the Sword Embryo had departed along with its original master. It could be said that the current Jiang Hao could only rely on his own cultivation base to unleash the sword might. With a cultivation base of Nine Spirit Transformations, he was simply far too insignificant in front of the Sword Embryo, fundamentally unable to unleash even a trillionth of its power.

If this sword were to fall into the hands of an Emperor Realm powerhouse, the sword might it could unleash would likely be enough to destroy an entire Dynasty. And that would only be the limit of the Emperor-level Powerhouse, not the limit of the Chaos Sword Embryo.
