Chapter 293: Chapter 172: Venerable Realm Senior Sister, Mortal Transformation Realm Eldest Senior Brother of the Holy Sect?

It wasn’t just him. As everyone watched the soaring figure, an indescribable shift occurred in their gazes.

"Good heavens!"

"Eldest Senior Brother? He’s a Sword Cultivator?"

What kind of monstrous Sword Dao mastery was this? Just how many unknown secrets did this nominal Eldest Senior Brother still harbor?

For a moment, Mu Yunshang, Jun Yichen, Fan Tian, and the other seven felt as though they, unparalleled geniuses in their own right, were nothing but trash. Compared to that white-robed figure, it seemed he was the true genius, while they were nothing but the most mediocre trash imaginable.

Only when the endless roars of demonic beasts gradually echoed from their surroundings did the group finally snap out of their shock.

"Hurry!"

Seeing the countless demonic beasts swarming toward them like a tidal wave in the distance, Jun Yichen was the first to react. He let out a booming shout and shot into the sky. Fan Tian and the others immediately followed suit, and everyone flew along the path of that sword fissure.

Above the sword fissure, all the demonic beasts had long since been reduced to ash. Even the endless ancient trees had been annihilated into nothingness by that single strike.

As they flew over the fissure, their eyes swept their surroundings, still brimming with sky-high shock. Especially when they looked down, the depths of the sword fissure were pitch-black. It looked like a torn, bottomless abyss, its end completely out of sight.

"This is too monstrous."

"He’s simply inhuman."

"Is this really a strike that a Sword Cultivator at the Early-stage of Transcendent Realm can unleash?"

They couldn’t help but voice their disbelief as they flew, their hearts enduring wave after wave of boundless shock.

Time slowly trickled by. In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.

Jiang Hao led the charge, storming at the very front as if moving through an uninhabited land. His display completely dumbfounded Jun Yichen and the other nine.

However, the Heaven-Shattering strike consumed a massive amount of Spiritual Power. Even Jiang Hao couldn’t cast it endlessly. Yet, just the casual sword strikes he did unleash were enough to make an unparalleled Sword Cultivator genius like Jun Yichen gulp hard in awe.

At a certain moment, just as Jiang Hao casually unleashed a ten-thousand-foot Sword Qi to sweep an area clean, a sudden explosion erupted. BOOM!!!

At the end of the endless primeval forest, the earth truly trembled, and mountain ranges were severed. Swaths of ancient trees exploded like crashing waves as terrifying auras rippled through the heavens and the earth. Even from an endless distance away, the group could feel the terrifying power fluctuations—a force capable of making even Cultivators in the Mortal Transformation Realm tremble.

"The Beardless Border City! That must be the Beardless Border City ahead."

Feeling those familiar ripples of aura, joy couldn’t help but surface on everyone’s faces.

Battered by the impact and trampling of the endless Wang Yang of demonic beasts, the Demon Ridge had been left entirely unrecognizable. Even Jun Yichen and the others, who had previously visited the Beardless Defense, could no longer distinguish the paths and could only rely on their intuition to rush due east.

However, those world-shaking power fluctuations practically confirmed that the Beardless Border City lay just ahead.

The so-called Beardless Border City was a massive fortress constructed by the Beardless Sect over the course of a hundred thousand years at the edge of the Demon Ridge. It served as a colossal defensive line to guard the tranquility of the coastline and prevent the invasion of demonic beasts.

The group carefully sensed the transmission of that powerful aura. A moment later, Fan Tian was the first to speak. "That’s Senior Sister Yun Ke’s aura."

It was evident that Fan Tian and the other nine were exceptionally familiar with the owner of those terrifying power fluctuations. Just by sensing it briefly, they knew whose Spiritual Power it belonged to.

At this moment, Mu Yunshang also sensed the familiar power. She immediately said, wild with joy, "My sister! It’s my sister’s aura!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she madly sped toward the Beardless Border City. Seeing this, Jiang Hao didn’t say much. He simply soared into the sky alongside the others.

Seeming to know that Jiang Hao wasn’t very familiar with the Beardless Border City, Jun Yichen carefully explained, "Eldest Senior Brother, that power from just now was the might of Senior Sister Yun Ke’s Nine Transformations Celestial Technique and her Lifebound Magical Artifact, the Profound Spirit Lotus Platform. Senior Sister Yun Ke is Junior Sister Yun Shang’s biological older sister.

"She is one of the Ten Great Venerables sent by the Beardless Sect ten years ago to oversee the Beardless Border City. She is also one of the top ten leading figures of the Border City."

Jiang Hao nodded at his words, not caring who Mu Yunko was. What he cared about right now was the awakening of the bloodline within his body. The closer they got to the depths of the Demon Ridge, the more Jiang Hao’s blood boiled. His entire body felt as if it were about to burst into flames.

The group sprinted all the way, their Sword Qi crisscrossing through the air. It wasn’t until nearly half an hour later that they finally saw the Beardless Border City.

More accurately, it was the ruins of the Beardless Border City!

The Border City had long been left riddled with holes by the aftermath of the battle. However, looking at the dilapidated walls that still stood tall, it wasn’t hard to see that not too long ago, this had been an unimaginably magnificent fortress.

The closer they drew to the Beardless Border City, the more earth-shattering the rumbles from ahead became, and the more terrifying the power fluctuations grew.

When the group finally descended into this area, all that met their eyes was sheer chaos. Terrifying slaughter was taking place everywhere. Fortunately, although the Beardless Sect’s Border City had been destroyed beyond recognition, the defensive line was still intact. The Beardless powerhouses were still holding their ground.

"Junior Sister Yun Shang, Senior Sister Yun Ke!"

A moment later, Jun Yichen pointed ahead and immediately cried out in joy.

Jiang Hao instinctively followed his gaze. At the end of the boundless earth, within the Wang Yang Demon Ridge hundreds of miles away from the Beardless Border City, a peerless silhouette swept across heaven and earth, locked in deadly combat with two utterly terrifying demonic beasts.

That part of the world had long been razed to the ground. An area spanning hundreds of miles had been turned into an empty wasteland, completely shattered by the world-breaking battle.

It was the beautiful figure of a woman in clothes whiter than snow, though her snowy dress was already stained with patches of crimson. The young woman radiated a terrifying aura. Her Spiritual Power was vast enough to level endless Spirit Peaks. In her hand, she held a Dao Platform that resembled a lotus flower. With a single wave of her hand, the winds and clouds violently surged.
