Chapter 268
by post_apiChapter 268: Overwhelming the Great Boundless
If it had been another Great Boundless Perfect Stage cultivator, they might have hesitated against Bing Yuyan. After all, her fame had resounded throughout the Southern Region for an immortal five hundred years.
But Ghost King Futian was an exception.
He had already reached a level close to that of a Saint. Had it not been for the various events of the past year, he might have remained in seclusion, striving to break through to the Saint realm.
Thus, he considered himself unparalleled within the Great Boundless rank, believing that no one could rival him.
This time, he had set out with the intent of leading the Ghostly Divine Platform’s Great Boundless experts to annihilate everyone in the Vast Forest completely. He aimed to send a chilling message to the entire Southern Region, declaring that the Ghostly Divine Platform would always remain the most invincible force, one that no one could defy.
However, he had never expected Bing Yuyan to come alone to stop him.
“The first beauty of the Southern Region, what a grand title. But unfortunately, beauty is not power,” Ghost King Futian sneered as he stepped forward, unleashing his violent energy.
Darkness from the ghostly realm spread across the heavens and the earth.
A terrifying ghostly figure emerged behind him, trampling the ground and gazing at the sky. Raising his hand, he struck out with a devastating blow, aiming directly at Bing Yuyan.
Yet Bing Yuyan looked at him with indifference, as calm as still water, without a single ripple in her expression.
Even though the Ghostly Divine Platform had slaughtered both the Cangmang Sacred Land and the Ice and Snow Divine Palace, she remained tranquil.
She was no longer the same as before.
As the massive hand capable of blotting out the sun descended toward her, her Ice Spirit Holy Sword trembled slightly. At last, she moved.
Whoosh!
Atop Sky Curtain Mountain, the breathtaking figure of Bing Yuyan remained motionless, but in the skies above, another enchanting silhouette streaked past like an immortal.
In an instant, the darkness was banished from the sky, the colossal hand was shattered, and the fierce ghost was obliterated.
Ghost King Futian’s right hand bled, a crimson wound staining his right chest. A dazzling sword light bloomed before his shocked face, etching his incredulous expression into the eyes of all the Great Boundless experts.
They all turned sharply to look.
In the sky above them, Bing Yuyan stood firm.
Looking back at Sky Curtain Mountain, her figure slowly began to fade.
A brilliant sword light connected the two, piercing through the surrounding darkness.
For a brief moment, shock and disbelief filled Ghost King Futian’s mind before he roared, “Attack with full power!”
Fear gripped his heart.
Had he not reacted quickly, that strike might have killed him outright.
Now, he finally realized just how terrifying Bing Yuyan had become.
The forty-nine Great Boundless experts let out a furious roar.
Suspended in the air, Bing Yuyan gazed down upon them, her expression cold, like a deity looking upon the dead.
“Be careful!”
Ghost King Futian’s expression shifted again as he roared a warning, but it was already too late.
Flurries of snowflakes descended upon the forty-nine Great Boundless experts. These snowflakes sparkled, yet within them, streaks of lightning danced, radiating terrifying sharpness as they shot forth like swords.
Puff, puff, puff…
Without exception, all forty-nine Great Boundless experts were pierced through, some in the chest, others in the head. In an instant, they bled and screamed as they plummeted from the sky.
Ghost King Futian was horrified. He finally understood that Bing Yuyan had not killed him with a single strike because she had divided her attention to eliminate the others first.
Unfortunately, he had realized this too late, and the forty-nine Great Boundless experts had already been slaughtered.
Just as this realization struck him, a chilling sharpness descended upon him.
“Not good!”
Ghost King Futian instinctively dodged while thrusting his immeasurable divine spear forward with all his might.
Whoosh!
His spear shattered the air, yet it did not even graze the Ice Spirit Holy Sword.
Bing Yuyan did not even need to use the absolute cutting power of the Ice Spirit Holy Sword against the divine spear. Instead, she merely brushed past it, her sword gliding effortlessly.
Puff!
The sword swept across Ghost King Futian’s waist. No blood spurted forth, his body had been instantly frozen. His severed form reassembled, only to freeze again.
Yet Ghost King Futian could hear the voice of death whispering to him.
Struggling, he lowered his gaze and saw Bing Yuyan moving past the forty-nine fallen Great Boundless experts, guiding the snowflakes and lightning to strike them again, ensuring that not a single one survived.
“Why… are you so strong?”
Those were the last words Ghost King Futian ever spoke.
Eight hundred miles from the Green Sparrow Palace, the great river surged with rapid waters flowing upstream, where one could vaguely see a waterfall cascading from above.
From the distance, fifty Great Boundless experts approached.
They were from the Golden Cauldron Sacred Land.
They had vowed to seek revenge for Ying Wuji and the former Son, Jiang Chao.
When they were about a thousand meters from Xuan Yue River, they spotted a stunning solitary figure standing alone.
She was as beautiful as a celestial being, like a goddess descending into the mortal realm.
It was Bing Yuyan.
“Kill!”
The Great Boundless experts from the Golden Cauldron Sacred Land were well aware of Bing Yuyan’s power. Otherwise, they would not have been able to kill Ying Wuji, so they chose to attack together as a group of fifty.
Bing Yuyan descended calmly, stepping above the raging waters of Xuan Yue River.
In an instant, the river froze.
Then, bolts of lightning roared forth from the frozen waters, infused with the sharpness of the sword path, sweeping toward them like a flood of swords.
The fifty Great Boundless experts howled and struck with all their might.
Bang, bang, bang…
Puff, puff, puff…
A series of clashes. A series of piercing sounds. Then, a chorus of agonized screams.
When the turbulent force dissipated…
The fifty Great Boundless experts from the Golden Cauldron Sacred Land looked down to see the lightning-like swords piercing their chests slowly dissipating, tearing their bodies apart in an instant.
All they could see before their vision faded was Bing Yuyan, standing like a fairy or a goddess on the frozen Xuan Yue River. so beautiful, yet tragically, the last sight they would ever witness.
In the vast and boundless grassland, a thousand miles from the Green Sparrow Palace, two teams of fifty Great Boundless experts each rushed in from the north and south. One came from the Great Xia Empire, the other from the Demon Sword Forbidden Area.
At the center of their convergence, tender grass swayed in the wind. There, a lone woman stood, a single flower blooming in the great prairie.
The two teams of Great Boundless experts moved like twin dragons, merging as they charged toward her.
She soared into the air, an overwhelming holy might radiating from her.
The Holy Body was fully awakened.
Crack!
The space ahead shattered beneath the crushing weight of her holy might.
She appeared like a saint descending to the mortal realm, lifting countless blades of grass into the air. In an instant, the grass transformed into swords and crashed into the fractured space.
Whoosh!
She herself, like a divine sword from the west, tore through the convergence of the two teams.
As she passed, the ground split apart, leaving a deep trench in her wake.
The Great Boundless experts fell one by one—some with blades of grass embedded in their chests, others with blood trickling down their necks, and many with their bones crushed under the sheer force of her holy might.
Before their final breath, they could only catch a glimpse of the enchanting woman, her figure surrounded by dazzling light as if she were ascending to the heavens.
A soft murmur reached their ears.
"The sword rust in the Demon Sword Forbidden Area is indeed disappointing, no longer as sharp as before."
They knew her name.
She was Bing Yuyan, the first beauty of the Southern Region.
But this slaughter was far from over—this was only the beginning.
Bing Yuyan surged forward at full speed, as if no obstacles could stand in her way.
She turned the tables against the Great Boundless experts who charged at her from all directions.
Moonview Tower!
Embrace Moon Tower!
Ziyang Sacred Land!
Liu Family!
Burial Dragon Forbidden Ground!
Cursed Land of Langya!
One by one, the forces that had gathered perished.
Without exception, when they were over a thousand miles from the Green Sparrow Palace, they were completely annihilated.
Among them, excluding those cursed by the evil forces of Langya, the rest fell to her sword in a single strike.
For those from the Cursed Land of Langya, it took two.
In just one hour, she single-handedly slaughtered five hundred Great Boundless experts from the Top Ten Saint-level Forces in the Southern Region.
With this battle, she achieved legendary status.
She dominated the Great Boundless experts.
This battle shook not only the Southern Region, but also the Eastern Domain, Western Desert, Central Plains, and Northern Plains.
The first beauty of the Southern Region, Bing Yuyan, stood atop the corpses of five hundred Great Boundless experts, officially claiming the title of the number one Great Boundless expert in the Southern Region.
