Chapter 178: Chapter 130: Junior Jiang Hao Pays a Visit to the Celestial Sword Sect

RUMBLE!

In the Earth Realm of the Celestial Sword Sect, an endless, terrifying power rolled in from the edge of the horizon like a torrential storm, shaking heaven and earth.

Countless powerhouses of the Celestial Sword soared into the air, standing atop the countless Spirit Peak Summits. They stared fixedly at that side of the world, indescribable shock rising in their eyes.

"What happened?"

"Those auras... Venerables of all kinds, Divine Kings, and eternal Ancient Saints?"

"What’s going on? What happened in the Eastern Domain? Why have so many powerhouses gathered here?"

"This is bad. They’re heading straight for the Celestial Sword Sect."

The Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect turned pale, stricken with terror.

The auras arrived before the people themselves. Merely sensing the pressure caused the expressions of the entire upper echelon of the Celestial Sword Sect to drastically change.

At the summit of the Celestial Sword Sect’s highest Divine Peak, inside the Holy Court where holy might rippled, countless impossibly ancient figures awakened at this moment. They opened their eyes, their expressions both solemn and horrified.

"The aura of a Saint?"

"This is bad. It’s an enemy attack."

As they sensed the vast, rolling pressure bearing down on them, the countless old men breathed heavily, their faces turning incredibly grim.

"Oh no. Right now is the critical period for Qingge and Lingxi to cultivate the Celestial Sword Technique. If an enemy attacks, our Celestial Sword Sect might be facing an impending disaster."

"Who dares to invade our Celestial Sword? They must have a death wish."

"Sect Leader, what should we do?"

The Celestial Elders of the Celestial Sword Sect, sitting cross-legged in the Holy Court, were so anxious that their eyelids twitched madly.

At this moment, all the highest-tier combatants of the Celestial Sword Sect were assisting the two figures sitting in the very center to cultivate the Celestial Sword Technique. They simply could not pull away to face the enemy. Even more terrifying was the fearsome aura rolling in from the edge of the horizon, leaving the entire Celestial Sword Sect in absolute panic.

Hearing this, even the most imposing figure in the Holy Hall unconsciously furrowed his brows.

"Do not be distracted. This is a critical moment. If we withdraw the technique now, both Qingge and Lingxi will be in danger."

The imposing figure, dressed in Celestial Sword attire, spoke calmly, but a stormy shockwave surged in his heart.

For over a thousand years, the Celestial Sword Sect had overseen the Eastern Domain. They were deeply rooted, and no one dared to offend them. Yet today, so many terrifying powers had suddenly appeared. Furthermore, the opposing party made no effort to conceal their auras, blatantly targeting the Celestial Sword Sect without any reservations.

"They are Saint Realm Powerhouses, and not just one or two, but... dozens of Ancient Saints."

The more they sensed those auras, the less the upper echelon of the Celestial Sword Sect could sit still. Dozens of Saints were invading, alongside dozens of Divine Kings, and thousands of Great Powers of Transcendence, World-Venerables, and Heaven and Earth Venerables.

This force was enough to sweep across half the Eastern Domain.

On the meditation cushion at the highest point of the Holy Court, the imposing man slowly opened his eyes. He seemed to sense a familiar fluctuation, and a trace of horror flickered deep within his authoritative gaze.

"It’s him?"

Evidently, he had already recognized which faction was approaching, and had even identified a certain terrifying figure who was once renowned throughout the world.

While the entire upper echelon of the Celestial Sword Sect was shaken, countless disciples were also filled with terror and unease. At this point, even a fool could guess what was happening.

"This is bad. A powerful enemy is attacking."

"Heavens, what are those fluctuations? Is someone going to wage war on the Celestial Sword Sect?"

It was not just the Cultivators of the Celestial Sword Sect; even the countless cities built at the foot of the Celestial Sword boiled over at this moment. Thousands upon thousands of heads slowly tilted upward, their eyes filled with shock as they fixated on that part of the horizon.

"What terrifying aura fluctuations! Powerhouses are attacking, and it’s not just one or two... there are so many of them."

"The auras of Divine Kings, the auras of Saints, and countless Great Powers of Transcendence, World-Venerables, and Heaven and Earth Venerables."

"Heavens!"

Feeling the supreme, world-ending auras surging towards them, everyone in the Earth Realm of the Celestial Sword Sect was plunged into panic, their breathing ragged. As the auras drew nearer, countless Cultivators gasped for air. It felt as if a hundred thousand great mountains were pressing down on their chests, making it almost impossible to breathe.

At the edge of the horizon, the situation grew increasingly terrifying as time passed. The entire void seemed to boil, intensely churning and distorting.

Just as the endless living beings stood completely stunned, a voice suddenly thundered out.

"Cangchen, you brat! It’s been many years. Has your cultivation improved? Take a sword strike from me and let me see if you have the qualifications!"

BOOM!

Before the person arrived, the Sword Qi struck first. While the vast sea of Cultivators in the Celestial Sword Realm gazed up at the trembling horizon, a World-Ending Sword Qi violently tore through the sky. It pierced through ten thousand miles of the void and thrust straight toward the entire Celestial Sword Sect.

That Sword Qi was millions of feet long. Like a sword from the heavens, it seemed ready to burst the universe apart. Wherever the Sword Qi passed, the void shattered and collapsed in layers. Faint spatial rifts emerged one after another, chilling the hearts of all living beings who laid eyes upon it.

"World-Ending Sword Qi! It’s a Saint!"

RUMBLE!

The Sword Qi swallowed the great world. Endless Spirit Mountains swayed and plummeted, and great rivers boiled. Just the sheer might of the sword alone unleashed a genuine world-ending power. The Sword Qi slanted downward as if striking from beyond the heavens, pointing directly at dozens of Spirit Peaks and great rivers within the Celestial Sword Sect.

If this sword strike landed, it would likely bring a catastrophe to the entire Earth Realm of the Celestial Sword Sect.

In the nick of time, a cold voice harrumphed.

"Hmph!"

The ancient sound echoed throughout heaven and earth. Outside the Celestial Sword Sect, a figure materialized. He violently opened his fingers and pushed his palm forward. It was a white-haired elder, exuding an ethereal, immortal air as his white sideburns and beard fluttered in the wind.

As the elder pushed his large hand out, endless, terrifying holy power instantly poured forth, transforming into a complex, transparent astrolabe in front of him. Runes were arrayed upon the astrolabe, connecting the threads of heaven and earth as it expanded against the wind.
