Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Faced with this strange martial technique, Fang Xingjian's gaze flashed a little. However, although this martial technique was a stroke of ingenuity, the lady's cultivation was far too weak. She was not even a Demigod. Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed, and there seemed to be sword light flashing in the void space. Just this slight glare of Fang Xingjian's was causing the young lady to tremble fiercely, completely dissipating all of the powers in her body. The 800 heavenly gods, that appeared earlier, disintegrated instantly. She was not even able to summon a hint of battle prowess.
However, just as the young lady lost her battle prowess, the nine Hades Ghost Dragons surrounded him with the accompanying sounds of clanking chains.
"Intruder, who are you!"
"Return the Six Heavens Sword to us!"
"That Six Heavens Sword belongs to us nine brothers! Damn it, how dare you steal it!"
"I'm going to eat you up!"
Waves of powerful martial will continued to emerge from the Nine Hades Ghost Dragons. It was unexpected that they actually possessed consciousness and could communicate. However, their choice of words seemed to be childish and naive, giving one the feeling that they were not very bright.
At this moment, young Rona had already started to regenerate his brain, and the injuries on his physical body seemed as if they would recover at any moment.
Seeing that the nine Hades Ghost Dragons were charging over, Fang Xingjian's eyes narrowed, and he swung one of his hands, sending four brilliant light beams soaring into the sky.
Celestial Eradication Sword Formation!
As the four beams of light swept out toward the Hades Ghost Dragons, endless killing intent plunged from the heavens, and chilly sword Qis filled up the entire space.
Infiltrating Void, Lightless Sword, All-Conquering, Instant... Each of these four swords took up the four positions in the north, south, east, and west respectively, completely surrounding the Hades Ghost Dragons.
These four short swords then each activated the Infiltrating Void sword, Light Pursuit sword ripples, All-Conquering sword, and the Instant sword, then they went for the kill in their formation.
At this moment, it was as if there were four Fang Xingjians, who were not equipped with any armor, performing sword techniques in the sword formation at the same time. How astonishing would the unleashed prowess be?? The chilly sword Qis seemed as if they were going to tear the void space apart and wipe out the mortal world.
Invisible sword force, sword ripples, and sword marks swept through every inch of the void space, seeming as if they wanted to kill all living creatures in the world.
Each of these nine Hades Ghost Dragons were 1,000 meters in length, with physical strength that could move mountains and overturn seas. They were each equipped with the power of a Demigod that had attained five tiers of perfection.
They could be said to the existences that were at the pinnacle of those below the Divine level, nurtured by absorbing all sorts of energies endlessly throughout the countless years after being specially left behind by the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor in the depths of the Hades Vault.. All of the dragons had the potential to rise up to the Divine level.
However, they had stayed in the Hades Vault and thus were unable to rise up to the Divine level. Once they left the Hades Vault, it might not take long for them to rise up to the Divine level.
Additionally, there were drastic differences between those with five tiers of perfection. Compared to Fang Xingjian who had over 10,000 specialty seeds, the Five God-Slaying Swords, and the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation, the dragons were too different.
Right now, in the sword formation, sword light was flashing and seething, as if the area had turned into an ocean of swords.
The Nine Hades Ghost Dragons let out deafening howls as their flesh and blood were sent splattering. They continued to be torn apart, crushed and slashed by various sword marks, sword forces, and sword ripples. It was as if they were nine chickens being put through a meat grinder; they were completely suppressed by the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation.
After using the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation to suppress the nine Hades Ghost Dragons, Fang Xingjian was about to grab the young Rona and kill him when he realized that Rona had suddenly disappeared. It was as if Rona had integrated into the Hades Vault and completely disappeared. Fang Xingjian then wanted to grab the young lady when he realized she had disappeared as well.
"Fang Xingjian, you truly are an unparalleled genius in sword arts. If it's not for the fact that we're in the Hades Vault, I would have probably been killed by you. However, since we're in the Hades Vault, this is your misfortune.
"Let me tell you, it'd be useless even if you were to handover the Senluo Six Heavens Sword now..."
Young Rona's will that was filled with vengeance, viciousness, and killing intent, continued to resonate through the world.
"Not only am I going to take back the Senluo Six Heavens Sword, but I'm also going to rob you of your talent in sword arts and absorb your blood essence. With your powers, I'll be able to attain the Divine level when I go out. In addition to the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's treasure, it won't be long before I become the strongest amongst those in the younger generation and possibly even the strongest in the entire Empire.
"You're only going to be my stepping stone. Stepping stone, do you understand?"
At the next moment, endless flame clouds gushed over, and Fang Xingjian's body sunk abruptly as waves of gravity pressed down on his body continuously, as if wanting to tear his body into tiny pieces.
All sorts of flames and rays, heat from the high temperatures, and explosions surged forth from every direction. At this moment, it was as if Fang Xingjian had become the entire world's enemy.
Fang Xingjian made a few consecutive leaps, passing through a distance of several hundred kilometers. Yet, he was still unable to get rid of these attacks that came from every part of the world.
Simultaneously, his Heaven's Perception was unleashed to the extreme, and his martial will kept on sweeping out in all directions. However, he was still unable to find any traces of Rona and the young lady. It was as if they had truly become a part of the world, a part of the Hades Vault.
In Fang Xingjian's heart, warning signs rang out continuously, and the senses from the Sudden Inspiration told him that something extremely dangerous seemed to be occurring soon.
Therefore, he did not stop and instead retreated into the spatial gaps with a flash. He saw that the Fourth Prince was standing there, opening up the coffin, and holding onto a dark green sword with a strange shape. The Fourth Prince's eyes were gleaming as he looked toward Fang Xingjian's body and released an extremely deep and eerie voice,
"Hmm? Who are you?"
The word 'deranged' appeared in Fang Xingjian's mind. He suddenly recalled that the Senluo Six Heavens Sword was a weapon that the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor had constantly kept with him. As such, it would definitely contain the consciousness remnants he left behind. Considering how the Fourth Prince was not even a Divine level expert, how could he possibly be able to fend off the consciousness remnant of such a great person?
Of course, this was not the will that had been truly left behind by the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor. This was just a mock human character that had formed through the times. Its origin was a portion of the information the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor had left on it, having constantly carried this weapon with him. The will was just a fake that possessed some of the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor's memories.
Despite this, it was already very powerful. At almost the same instant when he realized this, Fang Xingjian had already tapped a finger and sent out his deathly sword intent, the Heaven's Volition Sword Intent, and the gold intent on the World-Engulfing Battle God Armor concurrently. They instantly swept away all of the information remnants that had been left behind on the Fourth Prince's body.
The Fourth Prince's gaze instantly cleared up. "Xingjian, what's wrong?"
"Leave quickly!"
Endless winds, thunders, and flame clouds started to seethe into the surrounding spatial gaps. Young Rona was making used of the powers of the Hades Vault to start attacking Fang Xingjian who was hiding in the spatial gaps.
Fang Xingjian pulled the Fourth Prince along and dashed toward Philip.
"Philip, we're leaving."
Instantly, a myriad of sword light shot out from Philip's body toward the First Prince. Then his entire consciousness darted into the Fourth Prince's body.
"Thinking of leaving?" The First Prince let out a cold laugh and once again performed both Overturned Hell and Mortal World Reversal at the same time.
"Stay behind!" Young Rona let out an explosive bellow, and it was as if the world was shaking. Countless flame clouds formed a huge palm that could cover up the entire sky. The palm plunged down, slapping toward Fang Xingjian.
Even Fang Xingjian was unable to instantly accelerate and dodge the palm that was about the size of several hundred kilometers. With a move of his sword finger, the four short swords of the Celestial Eradication Sword Formation darted out consecutively, blocking the First Prince and young Rona.
