Hundred Li Territory, Origin-Transforming Sword!

The grand array’s power between heaven and earth materialized through the Origin, condensing into a tenth-zhang-long sword that cleaved downwards from the skies.

An elder, half-step into the Dao Breaking Realm leading several Dao Realm cultivators, hadn’t even the chance to resist before they were sliced by the sword, their figures shattering to pieces.

The surging Origin blood essence burst forth, transforming into pillars of smoke.

One sword, slaying ten Dao Realm cultivators!

Su Juesheng let out a long laugh, his figure soaring through the sky like a swallow, spreading his wings and gliding through the air.

Whether in the Dao Breaking Realm or the Entering Dao Realm, anyone struck by his sword couldn’t resist, their bodies shattered.

In just a month’s time, Su Juesheng, who was previously seen by everyone only as skilled in assassination, had actually gained the strength to slay anyone boldly.

That magnificent sword light was something the former Su Juesheng could never have possessed.

“How in the world did Moon-Encompassing Peak do it?” Xu Tang, his teeth clenched, said in a low voice with a tight fist.

Even he wasn’t sure he could block the sword light he saw now.

He had been confident he could kill the former Su Juesheng with one punch.

How could he not be shocked by such a transformation?

“Buzz—”

The sword light flickered in mid-air, slashing towards the ground below.

Xu Tang let out a long shout, leaping into the air.

“If we can’t avoid it, then let’s fight!”

He led the Allied Forces’ mightiest and the disciples from all quarters to gather behind him, ready to give their all in a battle against Su Juesheng.

The disciples, originally suppressed and frightened by the hanging swords overhead, also quickly assembled.

Without the combined strength of everyone, they simply could not block the attack of this sword; to do so without proper defense would be a suicide mission.

Unexpectedly, before they could even assault Skywind Ridge, they were stopped by Su Juesheng alone.

On the ridges above, Du Chen and others arranged themselves in battle formation, waiting in full preparedness.

However, they could see that the battle below seemingly didn’t require their intervention.

“This is the true might of the legacy of my Moon-Encompassing Peak,” Zhang Mingyuan beside Du Chen, his eyes shining sharply, spoke out loud.

The Sword Dao of Moon-Encompassing Peak allowed a master like Su Juesheng to undergo a complete transformation. It was only because other disciples of the peak lacked sufficient strength and talent that they couldn’t showcase the intensity of their inheritance.

His words filled the surrounding people with a bit of excitement.

With such a strong legacy of their own, as long as they cultivated diligently, their futures would certainly be boundless.

Turning their heads, they looked towards the part of the ridge shrouded in dense vapor.

There lay the true essence of Moon-Encompassing Peak, the real core of it all.

Peak Master Han Muye could bring glory to the legacy of Moon-Encompassing Peak!

Within Skywind Ridge’s grand array, Han Muye’s eyes held a hint of amusement.

He turned his head to look beside him, where a figure in a simple Daoist robe had quietly arrived.

Yu Cangshan.

Heavenly Roaring Sect’s Sect Master.

This Dao Extinguishing Realm powerhouse stood outside of the grand array, his gaze piercing through the fog, fixating on those azure stone tablets with a mix of nostalgia and greed on his face.

Han Muye knew that it was Yu Cangshan who had taken the Wind Spirit Sword.

“To have Sect Master Yu personally visit is truly unexpected,”

Han Muye whispered, his figure shifting, already outside of the grand array.

Outside the grand array, Yu Cangshan was not surprised, his gaze remaining on Han Muye.

“An outsider, who has delved so deeply into the legacy of Moon-Encompassing Peak, I’m very curious as to where you come from,”

Staring at Han Muye, a profound divine light flashed in Yu Cangshan’s eyes, “Which of the Thirty-Six Sword Sects do you belong to?”

The Thirty-Six Sword Sects.

Han Muye had come across this term in the ancient books of Moon-Encompassing Peak.

They were the thirty-six Sky-reaching Sword Sects branched out from a major sect of old.

The legacy of Moon-Encompassing Peak, or rather the entire All-Encompassing Sword Sect’s inheritance, came from one of those great sword sects.

But precisely which sect it was, Han Muye did not know.

Perhaps Xia Mingyuan, the Sect Master of the All-Encompassing Sword Sect, knew.

Yu Cangshan’s guess that Han Muye was a disciple from one of the Thirty-Six Sword Sects made sense.

Otherwise, Han Muye couldn’t have restored Moon-Encompassing Peak’s legacy and increased its power so greatly in such a short time.

“Sect Master Yu Cangshan, I’m curious, why does your Heavenly Roaring Sect insist on being an enemy to the All-Encompassing Sword Sect?”

Han Muye turned his head to look behind at those stone tablets, speaking with a light laugh, “Perhaps, for these?”

The inheritance stone tablets of Moon-Encompassing Peak.

These tablets bore the Sword Dao inheritance of Moon-Encompassing Peak, and they were in accordance with the inheritance within the Wind Spirit Sword.

“`

It was only natural for Yu Cangshan, who had obtained the Wind Spirit Sword, to desire these stone tablets.

Yu Cangshan let out a hearty laugh, his figure transforming into a gust of wind.

A golden palm print smashed down towards Han Muye.

Spiritual light flickered on Han Muye’s body, and a golden light screen blocked the palm print.

“Somewhat capable,” Yu Cangshan roared, as a three-foot-long saber appeared in his hand.

The saber light flashed, instantly turning into a black halo that struck down with fierce intensity.

Path-Extinguishing Force.

This weapon was a Dao Artifact capable of carrying Dao intent, and the one who wielded this saber was also a Dao Extinguishing powerhouse.

With such a person making a move, if one did not have the cultivation abilities of the Dao Extinguishing Realm, there was simply no way to resist.

Yu Cangshan was determined to acquire these stone tablets from Moon-Encompassing Peak.

“Do you know why I chose to act today?”

A smile on his face, Yu Cangshan stared at Han Muye.

“Because after today, within tens of thousands of miles, no sects can fight against each other.”

“If I destroy your Moon-Encompassing Peak, it will be gone, and the treasures of inheritance I take will not need to be returned.”

Both the Heavenly Roaring Sect and the All-Encompassing Sword Sect had already received the summons from the Cloud Heaven Dao Gate and were to cease hostilities.

Yu Cangshan purposely made his move now in order to take away the stone tablets while ensuring the All-Encompassing Sword Sect could not take them back.

His plans were good.

After the Heaven Ascension battle, with the All-Encompassing Sword Sect significantly weakened, it would no longer be possible for them to be an enemy of the Heavenly Roaring Sect.

“Nice strategy, but unfortunately, your power isn’t sufficient,” Han Muye said indifferently, his voice carrying a trace of icy chill.

He no longer wanted to hide.

He needed to end the situation with the All-Encompassing Sword Sect quickly to be able to join the battle for Heaven Ascension.

As his words fell, a sword light appeared in his hand.

“Buzz—”

The sword light transformed into a shadow of a hundred-zhang-long sword.

At that moment, the entire Skywind Ridge was enveloped in the shadow of this sword light.

The hundred-zhang sword shadow pierced between heaven and earth.

Yu Cangshan, who was just about to slash down with his saber light, widened his eyes in disbelief.

“You, you are, you’re at the Extreme Dao Realm!”

Such a magnificent show of sword light could clearly only be possessed by those at the upper levels above the Dao Extinguishing.

Han Muye didn’t answer him.

His response was a sword casually swung.

“Boom—”

The hundred-zhang sword light slashed down.

Yu Cangshan’s body trembled, he shook all over, and slowly knelt to the ground.

In the distance, several figures moved freely through the air, approaching.

“By the edict of Cloud Heaven Dao Gate, all sects within a hundred thousand li must cease combat.”

“Those involved in today’s chaotic battle must participate in the battle for Heaven Ascension.”

“All-Encompassing Sword Sect summons three thousand disciples to join the battle for Heaven Ascension, no excuses allowed.”

These figures descended in front of Skywind Ridge, only to be blocked by the array’s power.

They stared at Sect Master Yu Cangshan of Heavenly Roaring Sect, who was kneeling in front of Han Muye, their eyes wide.

“Yu Cangshan has been killed…”

“Who could possibly have killed Yu Cangshan?”

Everyone turned their gaze to the standing Han Muye, holding his sword.

What kind of powerful being was this!

“Cease-fire?” Han Muye’s gaze fell upon the mountains below.

“Before I receive the summons, within ten breaths, submit or choose obliteration.”

“Su Juesheng, if they don’t surrender in ten breaths, kill them all,” he commanded.

The voice echoed like a bolt of lightning.

Beneath the mountain ridge, everyone looked up in panic.

“As you command,” Su Juesheng whispered lightly, his sword transforming into nothingness.

At that moment, a deadly silence fell over the area below the ridge.

Ten breaths.

To submit or to die?
