Chapter 963: The Fall of Wuji Palace (Part 2)

Chapter 963: Chapter 963: The Fall of Wuji Palace (Part 2)

The hunchbacked old man hadn’t finished his words when a brilliant and majestic sword light slashed through the clouds, descending from the Ninth Heaven!

"A magic sword the size of a mountain?" exclaimed Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong in unison.

Affected by the terrifying aura, the hunchbacked old man couldn’t meditate in peace. He opened his eyes and looked towards Wuji Palace, only to see that the sword light was not a purely spiritual sword glow but a massive flying sword of strange design, like a towering stone peak.

This sword was none other than the Xianluan Sword, a magic treasure refined by the Heaven Sword Sect. The one wielding it was Situ Huo, the former Sect Master of the Heaven Sword Sect and now the Deputy Sect Master of the Red Flame Sect.

Situ Huo was one of the few sword masters in the Red Flame Sect, aside from Shen Mo, who had cultivated a swordplay to the Epic level, causing the "Godlike Swordplay" phenomenon and thus awakening his Skill; after building the Divine Bridge, he obtained the sect’s permission to refine the Xianluan Sword at Heaven Sword Peak into his Lifebound Magical Artifact.

Today, to flatten Wuji Palace, Situ Huo unleashed this earth-shattering sword to destroy the unparalleled big array that had stood for over three thousand years!

Rumble!

The clash between the Xianluan Sword and the Demonic Array erupted into a sun-like ball of light, illuminating thousands of miles like daylight.

The rampant nature’s spiritual energy and terrifying aftermath swept in all directions. Amidst flying sand and rolling stones, many cultivators lurking on the periphery had to cast spells to defend themselves, inadvertently exposing their whereabouts;

For a moment, countless firefly-like light spots lit up in the night sky. Those closer to the battlefield were unfortunate; as soon as the lights brighter, they were extinguished, their fate unknown!

When the world returned to silence, the big array of Wuji Palace had already been sliced with a massive gap, and the Xianluan Sword was slanted, stuck into the ground.

Buzz!

The Xianluan Sword emitted terrifying sword light again, expanding the gap in the big array several times, then soared into the sky, hovering high above Wuji Palace.

A sharp aura descended from the sky gracefully, standing on the tip of the sword, and countless sword beams poured into the damaged part of the array like a meteor shower, bringing a gust of bloody rain amid the desperate wails of the myriad demon heads!

"He is indeed the Divine Bridge Immortal Master of Nanke Spirit Land, truly impressive!"

The hunchbacked old man couldn’t help but praise. Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong also looked up at the figure in the sky with faces full of admiration and longing.

When dealing with the managers of the spiritual lands, they usually saw only Consciousness bodies, and it was difficult to see the true form of these "Immortal Realm guests" in reality. Seeing Situ Huo’s actions at this moment, they were not only amazed by his strength but also gained a more vivid sense of the existence of spiritual lands, thinking that they might also become as strong someday, and were thus unable to restrain their excitement!

Seeing a flaw in the Mountain Protection Array, the Golden Core Realm experts from cities such as Bingzi, Xinmao, and Renchen avoided the rain-like sword light and charged towards the interior of the array.

However, in an instant, they retreated at an even faster escape speed.

Inside the mountain gate of Wuji Palace, a monstrous light flowed, and amid the trembling earth, a giant serpent tens of thousands of feet long overturned the earth’s layers and emerged from the ground.

Various magic auras glowed on its back, forming a thick barrier that blocked the endless sword Qi from the Xianluan Sword, then it raised its head and charged towards Situ Huo in the sky!

"Old Demon Wuji, he’s still alive!"

The hunchbacked old man’s face suddenly changed, hastily gathering the worn-out array flags placed beside him to prepare to flee.

"Senior Yuan, what are you afraid of? Even if the sky falls, isn’t there still that Divine Bridge Immortal Master to hold it up?" Fan Rongrong swiftly grabbed the hunchbacked old man’s arm, stopping him.

"Oh... right, I was being confused." The hunchbacked old man wiped the cold sweat off his face and reinserted the array flag, struggling to raise his head and look into the sky.

"Who is this Old Demon Wuji that makes Senior Yuan so panic-stricken? Is it the giant serpent emerging from the ground?"

The hunchbacked old man shook his head, and said with a fearful expression, "Look at the serpent’s back, aren’t there five figures? The foremost one is Old Demon Wuji, and the serpent is merely his Spirit Pet."

"This old demon head is the founding patriarch of Wuji Palace. Even back then, he was a Divine Bridge Realm expert who single-handedly massacred dozens of immortal sects and demonic sects, slaughtering countless in the cultivation world, leading to great losses! To this day, our Dragon Claw Realm has not recovered to its peak three thousand years ago, thanks to Old Demon Wuji."

"He disappeared five hundred years after establishing Wuji Palace, and people thought he had died of old age, celebrating his demise. But who would have thought that this old demon is still alive!"

Under the hunchbacked old man’s reminder, Tu Lin and Fan Rongrong paid attention to the serpent’s back, and indeed found that at regular intervals, there was a figure.

But these figures were not standing on it, but were "inserted" into the serpent’s back like spiritual plants, with only the upper half of their bodies exposed, perfectly merging with the serpent’s body.

"Even a Divine Bridge Immortal Master should have died of old age by now. Did Old Demon Wuji use some Demonic Sect Secret Technique to borrow Lifespan from his Spirit Pet?" Fan Rongrong rolled her eyes, looking at the hunchbacked old man and asked.

"Perhaps not just that..."

The hunchbacked old man pondered for a moment before speaking, "Look at that last figure; it should be the current Law Master of Wuji Palace, who is also said to be a Divine Bridge Immortal Master. I don’t recognize the three in the middle, but they are probably historical Divine Bridge experts of Wuji Palace. They don’t seem to be alive, only Old Demon Wuji is still living. Old Demon Wuji probably survived by seizing their vital essence and Lifespan. Such an old monster being stirred up, I’m afraid... even the Divine Bridge Immortal Master from the spiritual land won’t fare well!"

Hearing this, Tu Lin’s face turned gloomy.

He originally thought this action by the spiritual land would wipe out Wuji Palace completely, avenging Qingfeng Temple’s full revenge. However, with the appearance of a monster like Old Demon Wuji, he felt uneasy!

At this point, Situ Huo had already exchanged over ten moves with Old Demon Wuji, each containing terrifying power, tearing countless rifts in the spatial barrier above Wuji Palace; at this rate, even Xuanyin Country might turn into a Spiritless Land.

Seeing that he couldn’t kill Old Demon Wuji for a long time, a hint of impatience appeared on Situ Huo’s face.

This time, the expedition by Nanke Spirit Land against Wuji Palace was meant to serve as a warning to other immortal sects and demonic sects in the Dragon Claw Realm. If not executed with thunderous might, the effect would be greatly reduced!

Thinking of this, Situ Huo drove the Xianluan Sword to push the giant serpent back, then summoned a blood flag.

If observed closely, one would find that the form and aura of this blood flag are very similar to Shen Mo’s Soul Refining Flag, but with only a single soul mark on the flag’s surface.

He shook the blood flag, and in the sound of gushing water, a Blood River unfolded like a brocade.

Subsequently, a terrifyingly auraed female figure emerged from the Blood River; she was dressed in a big red wedding dress, like a shy bride about to marry...
