"Demon-Slaying Sword Master..."
When Sword Master Lengyue heard the discussions of the Cultivators below, his sword-sharp eyebrows slightly rose, and a hint of a smile appeared on his lips:
"I wonder how much substance this person truly has, as the rumors claim."
"To be able to kill my Disciple and a group of Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators, his strength certainly cannot be underestimated."
Li Suxin said calmly.
Her beautiful face showed no ripples, but deep within her eyes, killing intent surged.
Fairy Miaoyin was not only her Personal Disciple, whom she had poured her heart into cultivating, but also her direct Bloodline kin.
However, her hatred did not overwhelm her reason.
"Then it's best if he can make me enjoy myself!"
Sword Master Lengyue sneered, completely unconcerned.
Even among Sword Cultivators, there were distinctions of high and low, and his Flying Star Sect was an ancient Sword Sect that had produced several land Immortals. He himself had mastered all of the Sect's top-tier Sword Arts to Major Achievement, and there were few people in the world whose Sword Dao was stronger than his.
However, he had a premonition that the master of this Immortal Cave possessed a heaven-shaking Sword Dao. If he could obtain his Legacy, it would be of immense benefit to him.
Watching these few individuals swagger into the depths of the Taicang Mountain Range, no one dared to step forward and stop them.
Everyone present didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
They could only pray that Shenxuan Sect could contend with these fierce gods.
...
At the same time.
Inside the Immortal Abode.
Although there was no longer a need to sign in at Myriad Stars Hall, cultivating here was not bad.
Han Xuanji sat cross-legged in the sea of stars, his body enveloped in rich starlight. The spiritual Qi within his body surged endlessly like a vast starry river.
Every day, he could feel the progress of his Cultivation.
This was the benefit of excellent Aptitude.
The positive feedback was very good.
If one struggled to advance even a single step after cultivating for years or even hundreds of years, even the most resolute Dao Heart would likely give rise to a Heart Demon.
"It won't be long until I should reach Tribulation Transcendence Realm Perfection, and then prepare to Breakthrough to the Ascension Realm."
Han Xuanji's thoughts turned.
Although the Ascension Tribulation was terrifying, Han Xuanji's equipment was not to be trifled with, and his Physical Body was even more tempered through a thousand trials, having Cultivated numerous Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, making him no less formidable than an Ascension Realm expert.
Suddenly.
Just then.
Han Xuanji's mind stirred. He received messages from Heaven Jade Perfected Person and others.
"An Opportunity has appeared, and someone is causing trouble?"
A hint of surprise appeared on Han Xuanji's face.
After all, with his previous battle achievements, ordinary Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators shouldn't dare to be so presumptuous.
"Could it be the Ascension Realm?"
Han Xuanji secretly guessed in his heart.
If it truly was an Immortal's Opportunity, it wouldn't be surprising to attract such high-level experts.
But he had already nearly reached Perfection in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and with numerous Immortal Artifacts and trump cards, contending with an Ascension Realm expert should not be difficult.
"I want to see what's going on."
Han Xuanji slowly stood up, like a sleeping Dragon stretching its limbs. A series of crisp cracking sounds emanated from his bones, and an invisible Aura instantly permeated the area, causing the star projections within the hall to sway.
The next moment, his figure vanished from this ancient sea of stars.
...
Deep within the Taicang Mountain Range.
The four Late Stage Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts from overseas had already arrived at the edge of the dense fog.
Feeling the mist that could even block the Divine Sense of Late Stage Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators, True Person Donghai's tone could not hide his fervor:
"This Formation Restriction is indeed extraordinary, worthy of an Immortal's handiwork."
"Indeed."
Sword Master Lengyue also sensed that wisp of Sword Intent more clearly, his eyes burning.
One must know that looking across the various Immortal Sects overseas, a land Immortal Sword Cultivator was extremely rare.
"Is this the Shenxuan Sect that Brother Lin has always been wary of?"
"I see it's nothing special."
The four discussed amongst themselves as if no one else was present, completely disregarding Heaven Jade Perfected Person and the other Shenxuan Sect experts, whose faces were ashen nearby.
This was naked contempt.
It immediately made Heaven Jade Perfected Person and the others feel humiliated.
"Your Excellencies, can't we break this Formation Restriction together and then discuss the Opportunity?"
Heaven Jade Perfected Person said in a deep voice.
Lin Jingqiu didn't even glance at him, and said coldly:
"Where is that Demon-Slaying Sword Master?"
"I want to see if he has the capability to slay the five Venerables of my Absolute Heaven Alliance."
And Li Suxin also said coldly:
"This Venerable also wants to see who exactly was so cruel as to kill my Disciple."
Boom!
Four terrifying Auras belonging to Late Stage Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators erupted without reservation.
"This is the Absolute Heaven Alliance Leader... True Person Donghai, and also Fairy Suxin, they are all Late Stage Tribulation Transcendence Realm existences!"
A Guest Elder from Shenxuan Sect, who was from overseas, said in a terrified tone.
"In the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, each Lightning Tribulation one passes marks a world of difference in strength. I don't think the Demon-Slaying Sword Master will necessarily..."
He didn't finish the rest of his sentence, but the meaning was already self-evident.
Heaven Jade Perfected Person and Qinghe Shangren exchanged glances, both seeing the heavy concern in each other's eyes.
Although they had anticipated that the Absolute Heaven Alliance might not let the matter rest, they never expected that a full four Late Stage Tribulation Transcendence Realm magnates would come.
This had far exceeded their previous estimations.
"Am I not right here?"
Just at this suffocating and oppressive moment, a light sigh, as if coming from beyond the Nine Heavens, yet also seeming to resonate deep within everyone's hearts, was heard.
As the voice fell, a figure, like rippling water, silently appeared in the Void Realm, without a sound or warning.
It was as if he had always been there, but no one had been able to perceive him before.
It was Han Xuanji!
His gaze calmly swept over Lin Jingqiu and the other four, easily discerning their reliance: two at the eighth layer of Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and two at the ninth layer.
Han Xuanji's heart was unperturbed, even feeling a bit... dull.
Is that all?
You don't even have an Ascension Realm Cultivator, how dare you?
"When did he arrive?"
Lin Jingqiu and the others also realized something was amiss, their pupils suddenly contracting.
They appeared arrogant and relaxed, but in reality, their Divine Sense had been highly vigilant, covering all directions.
However, it was only when the other party revealed himself that they were startled by his presence.
This meant that the other party's concealment methods were extremely profound. If he had ambushed them just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Hoo..."
Heaven Jade Perfected Person's tightly strung nerves suddenly relaxed, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he understood that these four formidable experts were by no means easy to deal with, seeing Han Xuanji appear, he couldn't help but feel a sense of stability.
"The Demon-Slaying Sword Master has also come."
At this moment, the many Cultivators observing from outside the Taicang Mountain Range swallowed hard.
Ever since Han Xuanji annihilated five Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivators with a single sword, he had not made another move, and countless Cultivators who admired him could not find any trace of him.
Some speculated that the Demon-Slaying Sword Master might be in closed-door Cultivation, and some even guessed that he had already left Shenxuan Sect.
After all, for such a powerful individual, there was no real need to stay in a Sect.
Unexpectedly, he still came.
And the most surprised were Lu Fan and Lin Potian.
Because this time, Han Xuanji did not conceal his face.
"It's... it's Senior Brother Han... Han?!"
The two looked at each other in unison, both seeing the same disbelief in each other's eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.
In their memories, this Senior Brother Han was clearly still at the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Especially Lu Fan, he would often visit him as a Senior Brother, bringing some Cultivation resources, and occasionally, with a hint of 'care,' he would share some of his Cultivation insights. And Lin Potian would also go to show off his muscles... Thinking of those scenes, the two only felt a strong surge of shame rush to their heads, their cheeks instantly burning hot.
"Playing tricks."
Lin Jingqiu was the first to attack, his terrifying Qi and Blood like a great sun.
He raised his right hand, his ninth-layer Tribulation Transcendence Realm Cultivation fully erupting. This punch connected with the power of heaven and earth, instantly carrying infinite strength as it smashed towards Han Xuanji.
"Great Sun Dragon Elephant Fist!"
