Supreme Swordsman of the Nine Heavens

Chapter 1117

Foreign Invasion

“Sword Shadow Dust Gale and Eternally Youthful Ku Mu have an eye for people,” Tan Qingquan commented from a mountain summit.

Frowning, Daoist Chu Buqu opined, “I feel things are playing out too smoothly.”

The duo peered up to the sky, where Hun Kui, Bai Jie’s right hand man stayed. Noticing their gazes on him, Hun Kui looked down and switched his gloomy countenance for a sly smirk. “Don’t count your chickens yet.”

Hun Kui discharged soul energy into the firmament, revealing a black hole overhead. Soul energy gushed out of the black hole and coloured the blue dome charcoal as a mighty being descended while cultivators held their breath. Nobody dared to make a peep as the supreme leader of Third Heaven Palace went from the sky to Tan Qingquan and Daoist Chu Buqu in one step.

“Nilei, Chu Buqu, you two would dare show your face around here?” fumed Bai Jie.

Tan Qingquan and Chu Buqu’s fists shook in Bai Jie’s presence. Upon arrival, Bai Jie already confined the area, foiling their attempt to flee.

“Contemptible foreigner!” blustered Tan Qingquan.

“Thanks for stating the obvious, hahaha.”

“Of course. I can’t have you two probing around or trying funny things behind my back.”

Lightning bolts crackled in Tan Qingquan’s eyes and slithered along his body. “Nothing changes even if you kill us for all of your kind who entered the monument has been slain. Your race no longer has any chance of obtaining a slot among the nine. The nine will wipe you out with celestial preservation energy.”

“Ultimate Immortals Monument?” Bai Jie nonchalantly gazed over to the hovering monument. “The ancient monument Sword Shadow Dust Gale genuinely has my admiration. The biggest mistake the god made was developing empathy for you humans, sacrificing all of his hard-earned cultivation to protect this world, as well as the weak, cowardly humans. All it took was one word from me for all of the ungrateful bunch to turn their blades on him, hahaha. Nine mystic immortals, huh? Sad for you and them as Ultimate Immortals Monument is no more as of today.”

Still busy trying to process how incredible Sword Shadow Dust Gale was, the cultivators watched Bai Jie fire a white beam from his finger at Ultimate Immortals Monument. The energy he blasted into it cracked the ginormous monument.

“You think the chosen nine will come to your rescue? When Perfect World was activated, the monument’s energy started to leak out, and I can now singlehandedly destroy it.” Bai Jie closed his fist.

Boom! The monument really was no more with one hand.

“Now, I have been granted Divine Executioner’s aid and have found a way to counteract Perfect World so that I can slaughter everyone. Henceforth, Third Heaven is Divine Executioner’s holy race’s hunting ground, and all of you are the prey, hahaha.”

Bai Jie parted the clouds with a soul energy blast, slicing a lightning bolt on the way up to summon a team of lunar race monsters, skeleton bone race, winged race and zombie race from the black rift he opened!

Xiao Ran and Yu Mo had nothing to say as Mu Yu hit the nail on the head when he accused them of trying to reap without sowing. Before their fight could commence, nonetheless, all of the ultimate immortals in Ultimate Immortals Monument lost their connection to the monument. Xiao Ran, therefore, took the chance to explain, “It seems there won’t be any difference between sparing us and killing us now, Mu Yu, as we’ve all been trapped in Ancient Battleground.”

“Explain,” Mu Yu demanded.

Yu Mo explained, “Prior to entering, our elders told us that the only way to return to Third Heaven Palace was via the teleportation formation, which is why we need to stay within safe distance of it. It appears that the teleportation formation is no more and that the monument can no longer choose the final nine.”

Xiang Nan snapped, “The monument might be in trouble.”

Mu Yu had a couple of suspicions. “Can the monument be destroyed?”

Xiao Ran enlightened, “When Perfect World was activated, the monument’s energy was drained, leaving it fragile. All of us are now trapped in here.”

“What’s Third Heaven Palace’s goal?” Xiang Nan asked.

Mu Yu answered, “Raising humans as livestock for foreign races to feast on. I’m willing to hedge my bets on Bai Jie having found a means of negating Perfect World, and there’s an army of foreign invaders massacring humans outside right now.”
