Chapter 87: Annihilation!

 

Sword Sect!

A super sect that existed before the era of the Human Sword Master. Because they successfully aligned themselves in two critical situations, they gained the trust and support of both the Human Sword Master and the Observer Sword Master. During the Observer Sword Master era, this sect reached its peak development.

Not only were they the number one sect in the Observer Universe, but it was rumored they were the number one sect in the entire universe!

Three thousand sword cultivators flew in on their swords, and terrifying sword auras directly suppressed Gu Xing and his companions.

Gu Xing and the others’ expressions became unprecedentedly grave. They had long heard about the terrifying power of the Observer Universe’s Sword Sect, but it had always been just hearsay. Now, facing the Sword Sect directly, they understood that the Sword Sect was even more terrifying than the legends!

There were six sword cultivators at the Circle-Breaking realm!

The rest of the sword cultivators were all at the half-step Circle-Breaking realm. Although they were only at half-step, their auras were extremely terrifying. The combat power of these sword cultivators was not much different from ordinary Circle-Breaking realm experts.

Gu Xing and the others were all shocked in their hearts. Of course, this also made them understand more clearly that the Observer Universe had been developing vigorously over the years and had been hiding its true strength from outsiders. Why would the Observer Universe do this? Without a doubt, it was preparing to unify the entire universe!

In the distance, the leading middle-aged male sword cultivator held a long sword, standing straight as a sword or spear, emanating a terrifying sword aura. It was he who had just torn apart Gu Xing and his companions’ space-time tunnel with one sword strike.

This middle-aged man was none other than Cang Wu, the current vice sect master of the Sword Sect!

Cang Wu stared at Gu Xing, “Although my Observer Universe has never been on good terms with the Ancient Civilization, we have never had any grievances either. Why is your Ancient Civilization doing this?”

Nan Tianqi stepped forward, “I’ve heard that the Sword Sect clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges, and never engages in factional activities. Today I would like to ask you, does your Sword Sect think it’s fair how the Observer Universe is treating Young Master Ye?”

Cang Wu’s gaze fell on Ye Tianming, and he remained silent.

Regarding Ye Tianming’s situation, he was naturally already aware of it.

Nan Tianqi continued: “That day, the Xiao family used their power to bully Young Master Ye, and the entire Academy remained silent, allowing him to be oppressed by the Xiao family. Later, when he defeated your young master at the Wanzhou Competition, you couldn’t tolerate him and wanted to put him to death. Sir, do you think this is fair?”

Cang Wu looked at Ye Tianming, “I understand some of your situation. I know that the Academy’s Inner Cabinet targeted you, not just because of the Dragon Clan, but also because you defeated the young master. They believe you will be the young master’s great enemy in the future, so they want to eliminate you. But I want to say, they are wrong. The young master will not be discouraged by one defeat, nor would he be so narrow-minded. The young master is currently in a coma due to bloodline issues, and the orders to kill you were all issued by the Inner Cabinet without his knowledge.”

After saying this, he paused, then continued: “If you are willing, you can continue to stay in the Observer Universe. Rest assured, as long as you are willing to stay, our Sword Sect will protect you completely until the young master awakens.”

Ye Tianming shook his head.

Cang Wu looked at Ye Tianming and promised again, “If you are willing to stay, our Sword Sect will definitely protect you completely. The Sword Sect keeps its word.”

Ye Tianming looked directly at Cang Wu, “The Sword Sect cannot change the Observer Academy.”

Cang Wu fell silent.

Although the Sword Sect held a transcendent position within the Observer Academy, the Sword Sect never interfered in the Academy’s internal affairs.

After a moment of silence, Cang Wu slowly turned his head to look at Nan Tianqi and the others, “Regardless, you have trespassed into my Observer Universe without permission, and now the Ancient Civilization has declared war on my Observer Universe. Therefore, you all must die.”

As he spoke, he suddenly walked forward, “All Sword Sect disciples, hear my command, kill all invading enemies… but do not harm that young man.”

As his voice fell, he had already transformed into a sword light rushing toward Gu Xing, and a powerful sword aura instantly swept across the entire starry universe.

Behind him, three thousand sword lights surged toward Gu Xing and his companions.

Gu Xing and his people were prepared. The leading Gu Xing opened his palm, and a blood seal shot up from his palm, instantly turning the entire star region into a sea of blood. Countless blood pillars rushed out from the surrounding space-time, then violently crushed toward Cang Wu and his people.

The leading Cang Wu directly shattered a blood pillar with one sword strike. In an instant, he had killed his way to Gu Xing’s front with one sword. Gu Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, and the blood seal from earlier suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking Cang Wu’s terrifying sword strike.

Boom!

A terrifying blood light suddenly erupted from within the blood seal, sending Cang Wu retreating repeatedly. But the next moment, a flying sword shot out like lightning from Cang Wu’s sleeve, instantly reaching Gu Xing’s front and sending him flying back tens of thousands of feet.

When Gu Xing stopped and looked back, his face immediately sank, because his people were completely suppressed by these Sword Sect experts.

These Sword Sect experts’ individual combat power was too terrifying, and his people simply couldn’t hold on for long.

With this thought, a trace of ferocity flashed in his eyes. He suddenly grabbed the blood seal in front of him, and the next moment, his palm split open, and fresh blood poured into the blood seal.

Boom!

Above the starry river, space-time suddenly burst open, and a cloud of blood gushed out. Within the blood cloud, countless blood thunders rolled and surged. Terrifying blood thunder tribulation auras continuously spread from this starry universe, and the entire starry universe began to shatter and annihilate.

As more and more of Gu Xing’s blood entered the blood seal, more and more blood-colored thunder pillars appeared in that blood cloud.

Feeling those terrifying blood-colored thunder pillars, a rare trace of solemnity appeared on Cang Wu’s face.

Gu Xing suddenly said: “Destroy.”

As his voice fell, above his head, countless blood-colored thunder pillars fell straight down from that blood cloud, smashing toward Cang Wu and the other sword cultivators. Wherever these blood-colored thunder pillars passed, space-time was directly erased.

Cang Wu narrowed his eyes. He did not defend but instead trembled and directly transformed into tens of thousands of sword lights soaring into the sky, violently colliding with those blood-colored thunder pillars.

Boom boom boom!

Countless sword lights and blood pillars collided, and deafening explosion sounds continuously echoed from the starry universe. Countless blood lights and sword lights continuously burst out from the starry river, one after another, spreading in all directions.

There were two Ancient Mages beside Nan Tianqi and Ye Tianming, responsible for protecting them from being affected by those power aftershocks. After all, with their current strength, just a trace of the aftershock would be enough to destroy them ten thousand times over.

Ye Tianming looked at the scene before him, shocked in his heart.

He had never seen such powerful experts before. For experts of this level, destroying an entire universe was an easy task.

Soon, his gaze became somewhat burning.

He wanted to become stronger!

He wanted to become stronger than everyone!

Because he had already understood that justice and truth could not be begged for.

Nan Tianqi’s expression was also solemn at this moment, because she found that from the beginning of the battle until now, their side had been at an absolute disadvantage. Some Ancient Mages had already fallen because the individual combat power of those sword cultivators was simply too terrifying.

Moreover, more and more experts from the Observer Universe were rushing toward this area.

Ye Tianming suddenly said: “Miss Qi, I’m sorry.”

Nan Tianqi withdrew her thoughts and turned to look at Ye Tianming. Ye Tianming said: “Their target is me, you…”

Nan Tianqi interrupted Ye Tianming’s words, “It’s no longer just about you.”

Ye Tianming fell silent.

Nan Tianqi continued: “You don’t need to apologize. I saved you for my own purposes as well. I see that you have a promising future, so I’m betting on you. If I win, of course I’ll be happy, but if I lose, I, Nan Tianqi, will have no regrets.”

Ye Tianming said softly: “But I still need to thank you.”

Nan Tianqi smiled and said: “I accept your thanks.”

Ye Tianming’s expression was complex. He turned his head to look at those sword cultivators, carefully watching them fight. This was the first time he had seen so many sword cultivators, and also the first time he had seen such terrifying sword cultivators. At this moment, he realized that his previous understanding of martial arts and sword arts was far too limited.

Boom!

Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly echoed above the starry river. Following that, terrifying blood-colored shock waves were shattered one after another. Gu Xing retreated tens of thousands of feet repeatedly. The blood cloud above his head was forcibly torn apart by a sword light, and countless blood-red tribulation thunders were destroyed!

In the midst of the destroyed tribulation thunders, a middle-aged man stood holding a sword, looking proudly at the sky.

Cang Wu!

Cang Wu stared at Gu Xing in the distance. Without any waste of words, he suddenly raised his sword and leaped up. Ten thousand feet of sword light appeared in the starry river. In an instant, a cold gleam carrying ten thousand feet of sword light killed its way to Gu Xing’s front, and the terrifying sword aura directly shattered those remaining blood-red tribulation thunders around Gu Xing.

Facing this terrifying sword strike, Gu Xing’s expression was unprecedentedly grave. He realized that he had still underestimated the combat power of these Observer Universe sword cultivators. These sword cultivators not only had no weakness, but each one could also fight across realms. Just like this Cang Wu now, he could definitely fight several Circle-Breaking realm experts alone!

With no time to think more, Gu Xing suddenly recited a spell, and blood pillars suddenly rose from beneath his feet, directly wrapping around him layer by layer, extremely thick.

Boom!

As the sword light slashed down, those blood pillars directly shattered, and Gu Xing instantly retreated violently.

Cang Wu was about to attack again when his brows furrowed, and he slowly turned his head to look toward the end of the starry river on the right. He stared fixedly at that end of the starry river. After a moment, a long spear suddenly flew out from that end of the starry river, heading straight for him.

Cang Wu raised his hand and thrust out a sword.

Boom!

The spear light and sword light shattered simultaneously, and Cang Wu retreated a thousand feet repeatedly.

“Haha!”

Just then, from that end of the starry river, a loud laugh came, “Observer Universe Sword Sect? Come, let our Frontier Army experience…”

As the voice fell, more than a thousand people rushed out from a rift in space-time.

The Frontier Madman Army!

The most elite army of the Ancient Civilization, stationed at the border of the Ancient Civilization universe for years, each one a true veteran of countless battles.
