Chapter 587: Sacrifice for a Cause

"Buzz!"

As Wei Zhengyang finished speaking, the top peak of Seeking-Tao Five Peaks, Fence Tao Peak, suddenly trembled and let out a loud rumble.

Amidst the trembling, a beam of golden light shot out from the mountainside of Fence Tao Peak.

The dazzling golden light sliced through the clouds in the sky, revealing a glimpse of long-lost golden sunlight shining upon it, making the light even more radiant.

With a whistling sound, the golden light instantly landed in Wei Zhengyang’s hand, it was the Chop-Sky Sword.

When they first crossed the Five Peaks, Jiang Yun and many others walked past the blade of the Chop-Sky Sword.

However, back then it was just a projection of the Chop-Sky Sword, and now what Wei Zhengyang held was the real Chop-Sky Sword.

The Sword that Splits the Heavens!

Seeking-Tao Five Peaks, each peak carries the essence of the sect, and each peak holds a treasure.

The Chop-Sky Sword is the treasure of the Fence Tao Peak.

Although the three major forces broke through the Seeking-Tao Sect, they did not take away the treasures of the Seeking-Tao Sect.

It’s not that they didn’t want to, but except for Wei Zhengyang and Wan Hongbo, the other three Peak Lords, one escaped, the other two were captured with Dao Tianyou, and refused to give up.

At this moment, on the other four peaks, people from Ghostly Samsara Hell and the Sea clan were also watching here.

To be honest, they were puzzled by Jin Yifei’s insistence on taking over this Hidden Peak.

Such a small peak, easily seen through at a glance, has nothing worth fighting for.

However, this has nothing to do with them, nor was it part of their initial agreement, so they have always maintained a wait-and-see attitude, neither helping nor hindering.

Now, they are just bored, wanting to see if Wei Zhengyang can break the barrier of Hidden Peak!

Holding the Chop-Sky Sword, surrounded by golden light, Wei Zhengyang’s whole demeanor has changed, exuding a commanding aura.

Even his breath was getting stronger and stronger.

Standing by, Wan Hongbo couldn’t help but show a deep envy in his eyes as he felt the change in Wei Zhengyang’s breath.

Because at this moment, Wei Zhengyang was no longer just a Sky Reaching Realm cultivator like himself, but a Tao Spiritual Realm!

In fact, Wei Zhengyang had long reached the peak of the ninth level of the Sky Reaching Realm, but he had not been able to progress further and enter the Tao Spiritual Realm because he did not have a sword spirit.

For a sword cultivator to break through to the Tao Spiritual Realm is much simpler compared to other cultivators.

Once you possess a sword spirit, you can merge it with yourself to become your own Dao Spirit.

A sword spirit is the spirit within the sword, which is the next realm pursued by a sword cultivator after comprehending Sword Intent.

Once there is a spirit in the sword, not only will the quality and power of the sword greatly increase, but the owner of the sword will also be able to enhance their cultivation with the help of the sword spirit.

Due to a lack of luck, Wei Zhengyang had been unable to naturally generate a sword spirit, so he sought another path and trained Fang Yuxuan instead.

When Fang Yuxuan had achieved a certain level in swordsmanship, he would turn himself into his own sword spirit.

Unexpectedly, after he surrendered to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, Jin Yifei gave him a powerful sword spirit even stronger than Fang Yuxuan’s.

This made him extremely happy, and without hesitation, he fused with the sword spirit, using it as his Dao Spirit, finally breaking through to the Tao Spiritual Realm in his cultivation.

Although Xuanyuan Xing acted like he didn’t care about Wei Zhengyang’s words, his attention was always focused on Wei Zhengyang.

Naturally, he could also feel the changes in Wei Zhengyang’s cultivation realm, causing his eyes to widen and a sigh to escape his lips.

He knew the Hidden Peak restriction better than anyone else.

Although it was indeed left behind by his master, and incredibly powerful, its existence had lasted too long.

Moreover, in the past half year, the continuous attacks by the traitorous disciples had pushed the restriction’s strength to its limits.

If Wei Zhengyang was only at the Sky Reaching Realm, even if he went all out, the restriction might still hold for some time.

However, since he had already entered the Tao Spiritual Realm, and sword cultivators are usually the strongest attackers, when he personally took action, it should be enough to break this restriction.

Wei Zhengyang raised his Chop-Sky Sword confidently and looked spiritedly at Xuanyuan Xing, speaking again, "Xuanyuan Xing, as the leader of the Seeking-Tao Sect, I will give you one last chance. Will you surrender or not?"

Xuanyuan Xing laughed loudly and said, "Haha, I won’t surrender!"

Wei Zhengyang coldly smiled and said, "Even facing death, you’re still stubborn. Since you are unrepentant, I will finish you. Watch closely!"

"Three Sky-Cutting Swords!"

As he spoke, Wei Zhengyang fiercely swung his Chop-Sky Sword towards Hidden Peak.

"Buzz!"

With a swing, the body of the Chop-Sky Sword suddenly trembled violently, releasing three golden sword energies in a row.

These three sword energies, each faster and stronger than the last, caused the space to distort upon their appearance, seeming to contain a certain Power of Rules within.

As the sword energy passed through, the distortion in the void directly cracked open, revealing three black fissures!

"Boom!"

The first sword energy slashed onto the shield outside Hidden Peak, causing the light screen to tremble wildly. Just as it reached its strongest tremor, the second sword energy arrived.

"Buzz!"

The frantic impact of the second sword energy opened a tiny hole the thickness of a hair on the light screen, followed closely by the third sword energy.

"Crack!"

Under the attack of the three sword energies, the light screen was actually torn open by a yard-long gap.

Although not completely shattered yet, since there were cracks, the light screen definitely wouldn’t hold for much longer.

With the three sword strikes, Wei Zhengyang’s body even swayed slightly, clearly showing that exerting these three strikes also had a significant toll on him.

Wan Hongbo hurried over and supported him, saying, "Be careful, sect master!"

"It’s okay!"

Wei Zhengyang waved his hand, speaking calmly, but feeling extremely shocked inside.

He had been reluctant to follow Jin Yifei’s orders and hadn’t acted before, but now he had no choice but to realize how strong Gu Bulao’s power was, beyond his imagination.

Just by breaking through a prohibition set by Gu Bulao, he had exhausted all his strength and used the power of the Chop-Sky Sword, managing to only tear open a crack about ten feet long, rather than collapsing outright.

Wei Zhengyang was shocked inside but remained calm on the outside as he asked, "Xuanyuan Xing, do you want me to strike again?"

Xuanyuan Xing paid no attention to Wei Zhengyang, wiped his mouth, and looked up at the heavily clouded sky, mumbling to himself, "Master, Senior Brother, second martial sister, you’ve all left, leaving me here alone to guard!"

"I understand your concern about the poison in my body, and I did want to wait until little martial brother returned to tell him some things."

"But we don’t know when he’ll be back, and at this point, I really can’t hold on any longer."

"Master, today your disciple is willing to sacrifice his life for the cause!"

After saying that, he raised the wine jug in his hand, drank all the wine in one gulp, then forcefully smashed the jug on the ground.

With a loud "bang!"

What shattered was not only the wine jug, but also the faint light screen outside Hidden Peak!
