NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1426: On the Brink of War
Rumble!
At the Supreme Sect, the entire sky above was filled with thunder and lightning raging wildly.
The fierce winds transformed into tornado pillars connecting the sky and earth, sweeping across the land, leaving nothing in their wake.
The entire Supreme Sect was enveloped in an oppressive and somber atmosphere.
In the vast Supreme Sect.
Countless experts had grave expressions, with visible anxiety in their eyes.
They were already aware of the battle situation at Yuanjiang City.
Xiao Yi.
With just one sword strike.
He split the entire Yuanjiang City in two and went on to slay ten king-level experts and dozens of marquis-level experts, along with hundreds of thousands of Supreme Sect elites stationed in Yuanjiang City, all vanishing without a trace.
This was an extremely terrifying battle loss.
At the same time.
It made the world realize how fearsome this newly ascended saint-slaying demon truly was.
Now, Xiao Yi was renowned in the Unharmed Heaven Realm.
Like a god descended to the mortal world.
He's become the idol of countless young generations.
After all.
In the Unharmed Heaven Realm under the suppression of numerous older generation experts, the only one from the younger generation who can contend with the older generation Saint King Realm experts is Xia Qianmo, ranked first on the genius list.
The problem is…
Xia Qianmo is the heir of the ancient Xia Family.
He is not a disciple of any of the four dominant forces.
Thud thud thud!
A dull sound of war drums echoed above the Supreme Sect.
Countless Supreme Sect experts soared into the sky.
The vast Supreme Sect had protective arrays lighting up and glowing brilliantly, a dazzling formation shining upon the heavens, causing the raging storms to explode instantly.
Thunder and lightning could not penetrate even a bit into the Supreme Sect.
War flying boats rose into the sky.
Forming a dense dark mass.
Like an apocalyptic scene.
Facing the Supreme Sect's numerous strong figures and war flying boats were a hundred war flying boats from the Heavenly Tao Pavilion.
Both sides were in a standoff.
Neither dared to make the first move.
Swish!
Shang Duxing's figure descended from the sky, stepping out alone from the formation's protection, an overwhelming aura like a majestic divine peak descending from the heavens, pressing terrifyingly towards the Heavenly Tao Pavilion's strong figures.
This was the pressure of the Fifth Layer of the Saint King Realm that ordinary experts could not resist.
"Disperse!"
The voice of the First Peak Master suddenly echoed across the nine heavens.
Behind him, countless golden glows gathered, forming a colossal figure bathed in golden light.
This was an Ancient Heavenly God.
It was also the Martial Dao Fasxiang condensed by the First Peak Master; now, blessed with the Saint King Realm cultivation, this Ancient Heavenly God seemed to possess divinity. With just a cold gaze sweeping across, the heavens trembled, and the sun and moon lost their light.
It forcibly resisted Shang Duxing's immense pressure.
The First Peak Master's cold voice sounded: "Shang Duxing, do you really think you can press us with your might and bully my Heavenly Tao Pavilion as if we have no one?"
"Hmph!"
Shang Duxing snorted coldly, his expression icy to the extreme. "Your Heavenly Tao Pavilion has already surrounded us, provoking the Supreme Sect's supreme dignity. A noble Saint King even took action to destroy my Yuanjiang City. Do you seriously think I wouldn't retaliate?"
"It wasn't me who destroyed your Yuanjiang City, but our Heavenly Tao Pavilion's newly appointed Saint Heir, who's a younger generation…" The Second Peak Master sneered.
Senior experts oppressing the younger generation with their might, this is big bullying small.
We, the Heavenly Tao Pavilion, merely let a younger disciple take action.
In comparison.
Shang Duxing's face turned extremely ugly.
He indeed was a senior expert.
But the problem is…
Xiao Yi is likewise a noble Saint King!
However.
Just as the Second Peak Master said, Xiao Yi is young; he's merely a disciple from the younger generation. Your Yuanjiang City had so many old experts stationed, but they were all slain by Xiao Yi with a single sword.
Who can you blame?
Shang Duxing's face grew gloomier as he coldly said, "No matter how you try to argue, you cannot change the fact that your Heavenly Tao Pavilion is invading the Supreme Sect carelessly, disregarding the stability of the Unharmed Heaven Realm!"
"Disregarding the stability of the Unharmed Heaven Realm? Very amusing, your Supreme Sect is truly shameless to the extreme!"
The First Peak Master spoke calmly, "Shang Duxing, your Supreme Sect colluded with the Feather Transformation Sect and the God Slayer Sect, sending their experts collectively to Paradise Island intending to harm our Heavenly Tao Pavilion's newly appointed Saint Heir. Today, we are here to demand justice..."
"The First Peak Master is right, we are merely seeking justice for the Saint Heir!" the Second Peak Master said.
Shang Duxing's face turned livid.
He wanted to curse but couldn't bring himself to bring up the matter again.
Despite the fact that the Supreme Sect allied with the three major sects, even dispatching three Saint King Realm experts, several geniuses from the genius list, intending to kill Xiao Yi. But the problem is, with so many experts launched, they were ultimately all counter-killed by Xiao Yi.
Three Saint Kings fell, several genius list experts perished.
This was a humiliating disgrace!
Shang Duxing, with a grim expression, shifted the topic: "No matter how you say it, you cannot change the fact that you are invading the Supreme Sect in large numbers!"
"We are invading, and what can you do about it?" the First Peak Master said unhesitatingly.
The Second Peak Master had a face full of arrogance, "Shang Duxing, if you want to fight, let's fight, why say so much?"
"Hmph!"
Shang Duxing coldly replied, "Do you really think we fear you, the Supreme Sect?"
Buzz!
Shang Duxing suddenly stepped forward.
A pair of Iron Drawing Silver Hooks floated in his hands.
This was a pair of Saint King weapons.
Refined from the spine of a fallen Saint King Realm expert, the Iron Drawing Silver Hooks clashed together with a booming sound, enough to resonate across the heavens.
Shang Duxing pointed the Iron Drawing Silver Hooks fiercely, his expression stern, staring at the First Peak Master and the Second Peak Master: "You two, come at me together!"
Now, the morale of the Supreme Sect was low.
He must secure a great victory to revive morale.
Shang Duxing just entered the Fifth Layer of the Saint King Realm, in high spirits, not regarding the First Peak Master and the Second Peak Master at all.
"This old man dares to challenge both of us simultaneously?" The Second Peak Masters' sword-like eyebrows tightened; Shang Duxing's cultivation was indeed above his, but only just on par with the First Peak Master.
And now he wants to challenge both of them at once.
The First Peak Master squinted his eyes and said, "This old man has always been cautious in his actions, yet today he's so uncharacteristic, must mean his cultivation has indeed broken through!"
"What should we do?"
The Second Peak Master looked worried, "Xiao Yi is still in seclusion, if this old man truly stepped into the Fifth Layer of the Saint King Realm, with both of us combined, I fear we still may not be his match!"
"This battle must be won, not lost, or we will be at an extreme disadvantage!" the First Peak Master said solemnly.
The Second Peak Master took a deep breath, "In that case, I will use that move later! If not to kill him, at least to trap him, and then you can strike and defeat him..."
"We have no other choice!"
The First Peak Master nodded heavily, and the two of them moved forward together.
At this moment.
Three Saint King Realm experts stood across the void, looking at each other, a terrifying battle on the brink of eruption…
